Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 — Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations. The accounting and reporting practices of First Business Financial Services (the “Corporation”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries, First Business Bank (“FBB”) and First Business Bank – Milwaukee (“FBB – Milwaukee”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). FBB and FBB – Milwaukee are sometimes referred to together as the “Banks.” FBB operates as a commercial banking institution in the Madison, Wisconsin market, consisting primarily of Dane County and the surrounding areas, with loan production offices in Oshkosh, Appleton, and Green Bay, Wisconsin. FBB also offers trust and investment services through First Business Trust & Investments (“FBTI”), a division of FBB. FBB – Milwaukee operates as a commercial banking institution in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin market, consisting primarily of Waukesha County and the surrounding areas. The Banks provide a full range of financial services to businesses, business owners, executives, professionals and high net worth individuals. The Banks are subject to competition from other financial institutions and service providers and are also subject to state and federal regulations. FBB has the following subsidiaries: First Business Capital Corp. (“FBCC”), First Madison Investment Corp. (“FMIC”), First Business Equipment Finance, LLC (“FBEF”) and FBB Real Estate, LLC (“FBBRE”). FMIC is located in and was formed under the laws of the state of Nevada. FBB-Milwaukee has one subsidiary, FBB – Milwaukee Real Estate, LLC (“FBBMRE”).
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, the Corporation’s ownership interest in FBFS Statutory Trust II (“Trust II”) has not been consolidated into the financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Management of the Corporation is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that could experience significant changes in the near-term include the value of foreclosed property, lease residuals, property under operating leases, securities, income taxes and the level of the allowance for loan and lease losses. The results of operations for the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. Certain amounts in prior periods may have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of the issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements. No significant subsequent events have occurred through this date requiring adjustment to the financial statements or disclosures.
The Corporation has not changed its significant accounting and reporting policies from those disclosed in the Corporation’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 except as described further below in this Note 1.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.”  This ASU amends the scope of FASB ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which requires additional disclosure regarding offsetting of assets and liabilities to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity's financial position. The provisions of the ASUs were effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Corporation’s disclosure under the ASUs are provided in Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments. As the ASUs address financial statement disclosures only, their adoption effective January 1, 2013 did not impact the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This ASU adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to be in a single location in the financial statements. The Corporation’s disclosures of the components of accumulated other comprehensive income are disclosed in its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, there were no items requiring reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The new guidance became effective for all interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2013 and is to be applied prospectively. Since this ASU addresses financial statement disclosures only, the adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2013 did not have an impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 2 — Earnings Per Common Share
Earnings per common share are computed using the two-class method. Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the applicable period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Participating securities include unvested restricted shares. Unvested restricted shares are considered participating securities because holders of these securities receive non-forfeitable dividends at the same rate as holders of the Corporation’s common stock. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares adjusted for reallocation of undistributed earnings of unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method.
For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, average anti-dilutive employee share-based awards totaled 0 and 115,050, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, average anti-dilutive employee share-based awards totaled 0 and 116,148, respectively.

Note 3 — Share-Based Compensation
The Corporation adopted the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) during the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and provides for the grant of equity ownership opportunities through incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options (together, “Stock Options”), restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent units, and any other type of award permitted by the Plan. As of June 30, 2013, 218,115 shares were available for future grants under the Plan. Shares covered by awards that expire, terminate or lapse will again be available for the grant of awards under the Plan. The Corporation may issue new shares and shares from treasury for shares delivered under the Plan.

Stock Options
The Corporation may grant Stock Options to senior executives and other employees under the Plan. Stock Options generally have an exercise price that is equal to the fair value of the common shares on the date the option is awarded. Stock Options granted under the Plan are subject to graded vesting, generally ranging from 4 years to 8 years, and have a contractual term of 10 years. For any new awards issued, compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for the entire award on a straight-line basis. No Stock Options have been granted since the Corporation became a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and no Stock Options have been modified, repurchased or cancelled since such time. Therefore, no stock-based compensation related to Stock Options was recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. As of June 30, 2013, all Stock Options granted and not previously forfeited have vested.
Stock Option activity for the year ended December 31, 2012 and six months ended June 30, 2013 was as follows:

Restricted Stock
Under the Plan, the Corporation may grant restricted shares to plan participants, subject to forfeiture upon the occurrence of certain events until the dates specified in the participant’s award agreement. While the restricted shares are subject to forfeiture, the participant may exercise full voting rights and will receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to the restricted shares. The restricted shares granted under the Plan are subject to graded vesting. Compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period of four years for the entire award on a straight-line basis. Upon vesting of restricted share awards, the benefit of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense is recognized as a financing cash flow activity.

U.S. Government agency obligations - government-sponsored enterprises represent securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) and Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”). Collateralized mortgage obligations - government issued represent securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”). Collateralized mortgage obligations - government-sponsored enterprises include securities guaranteed by FHLMC and the FNMA. Asset-backed securities represent securities issued by the Student Loan Marketing Association (“SLMA”) and are 97% guaranteed by the U.S. government. Municipal obligations include securities issued by various municipalities located primarily within the State of Wisconsin and are tax-exempt general obligation bonds. There were no sales of securities available-for-sale for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available-for-sale by contractual maturity at June 30, 2013 are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers have the right to call or prepay certain obligations without call or prepayment penalties.

The table below shows the Corporation’s gross unrealized losses and fair value of investments, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual investments were in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Corporation had 115 securities and 30 securities that were in an unrealized loss position, respectively. Such securities have not experienced credit rating downgrades; however, they have primarily declined in value due to the current interest rate environment. At June 30, 2013, the Corporation held no securities that had been in a continuous loss position for twelve months or greater.

The Corporation also has not specifically identified securities in a loss position that it intends to sell in the near term and does not believe that it will be required to sell any such securities. It is expected that the Corporation will recover the entire amortized cost basis of each security based upon an evaluation of the present value of the expected future cash flows. Accordingly, no other than temporary impairment was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

The total principal amount of loans transferred to third parties, which consisted solely of participation interests in originated loans, during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $10.1 million and $8.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, $10.6 million and $34.7 million of loans were transferred to third parties, respectively. Each of the transfers of these financial assets met the qualifications for sale accounting, including the requirements specific to loan participations, and therefore $10.1 million and $10.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $8.8 million and $34.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, have been derecognized in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The Corporation has a continuing involvement in each of the agreements by way of relationship management and servicing the loans; however, there are no further obligations to the third-party participant required of the Corporation in the event of a borrower’s default, other than standard representations and warranties related to sold amounts. The loans were transferred at their fair value and no gain or loss was recognized upon the transfer, as the participation interest was transferred at or near the date of loan origination. The total amount of loan participations purchased on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $665,000 and $674,000, respectively.

The total amount of outstanding loans transferred to third parties as loan participations sold at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $55.0 million and $50.1 million, respectively, all of which was treated as a sale and derecognized under the applicable accounting guidance in effect at the time of the transfers of the financial assets. The Corporation’s continuing involvement with these loans is by way of partial ownership, relationship management and all servicing responsibilities. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total amount of the Corporation’s partial ownership of loans on the Corporation’s balance sheet was $84.2 million and $71.9 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, no loans in this participation sold portfolio were considered impaired as compared to $3.2 million as of December 31, 2012. This decline is due to the fact that the impaired loan in this portfolio was repurchased and thus has been removed from this portfolio. From December 2010 through May 2013, the Corporation recognized a total $2.7 million charge-off associated with specific credits within the retained portion of this portfolio of loans in accordance with the Corporation’s allowance for loan and lease loss measurement process and policies. The Corporation does not share in the participant’s portion of the charge-offs.

Table of Contents


In May 2013, the Corporation repurchased, from the original participating entity, a portion of one loan which was previously and appropriately accounted for as a transfer (sale) under a participation agreement. This repurchase was not a condition of the original participation agreement and was undertaken to provide the Corporation with complete discretion in the workout process of this loan. As agreed to with the original participating entity and consistent with the transaction agreement, such participated portion of the loan with aggregate principal balance of $3.2 million was repurchased with cash at fair value, or a discounted price of $1.5 million.

The $1.5 million carrying amount of this portion of the loan is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet within loans and leases receivable, net at June 30, 2013 along with Corporation’s previously retained portion of this loan. This loan is classified as a nonperforming troubled debt restructuring because the Corporation cannot reasonably estimate the timing of the cash flows expected to be collected and therefore the discount will not be accreted to earnings until the carrying amount is fully paid.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, there were no changes to the allowance for loan and lease losses relating to this loan, as it is a collateral dependent loan and was deemed to have sufficient collateral value as of June 30, 2013 to support the carrying value.

The following information illustrates ending balances of the Corporation’s loan and lease portfolio, including impaired loans by class of receivable, and considering certain credit quality indicators as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Credit underwriting through a committee process is a key component of the Corporation’s operating philosophy. Business development officers have relatively low individual lending authority limits, and thus a significant portion of the Corporation’s new credit extensions require approval from a loan approval committee regardless of the type of loan or lease, asset quality grade of the credit, amount of the credit, or the related complexities of each proposal. In addition, the Corporation makes every effort to ensure that there is appropriate collateral at the time of origination to protect the Corporation’s interest in the related loan or lease.
Each credit is evaluated for proper risk rating upon origination, at the time of each subsequent renewal, upon receipt and evaluation of updated financial information from the Corporation’s borrowers, or as other circumstances dictate. The Corporation uses a nine grade risk rating system to monitor the ongoing credit quality of its loans and leases. The risk rating grades follow a consistent definition, and are then applied to specific loan types based on the nature of the loan. Each risk rating is subjective and, depending on the size and nature of the credit, subject to various levels of review and concurrence on the stated risk rating. In addition to its nine grade risk rating system, the Corporation groups loans into four loan and related risk categories which determine the level and nature of review by management.
Category I — Loans and leases in this category are performing in accordance with the terms of the contract and generally exhibit no immediate concerns regarding the security and viability of the underlying collateral, financial stability of the borrower, integrity or strength of the borrower’s management team or the industry in which the borrower operates. Loans and leases in this category are not subject to additional monitoring procedures above and beyond what is required at the origination or renewal of the loan or lease. The Corporation monitors Category I loans and leases through payment performance, continued maintenance of its personal relationships with such borrowers and continued review of such borrowers’ compliance with the terms of their respective agreements.
Category II — Loans and leases in this category are beginning to show signs of deterioration in one or more of the Corporation’s core underwriting criteria such as financial stability, management strength, industry trends and collateral values. Management will place credits in this category to allow for proactive monitoring and resolution with the borrower to possibly mitigate the area of concern and prevent further deterioration or risk of loss to the Corporation. Category II loans are considered performing but are monitored frequently by the assigned business development officer and by subcommittees of the Banks’ loan committees.

Category III — Loans and leases in this category are identified by the Corporation’s business development officers and senior management as warranting special attention. However, the balance in this category is not intended to represent the amount of adversely classified assets held by the Banks. Category III loans and leases generally exhibit undesirable characteristics such as evidence of adverse financial trends and conditions, managerial problems, deteriorating economic conditions within the related industry, or evidence of adverse public filings and may exhibit collateral shortfall positions. Management continues to believe that it will collect all required principal and interest in accordance with the original terms of the contracts relating to the loans and leases in this category, and therefore Category III loans are considered performing with no specific reserves established for this category. Category III loans are monitored by management and loan committees of the Banks on a monthly basis and the Banks’ Boards of Directors at each of their regularly scheduled meetings.
Category IV — Loans and leases in this category are considered to be impaired. Impaired loans and leases have been placed on non-accrual as management has determined that it is unlikely that the Banks will receive the required principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the agreement. Impaired loans are individually evaluated to assess the need for the establishment of specific reserves or charge-offs. When analyzing the adequacy of collateral, the Corporation obtains external appraisals at least annually for impaired loans and leases. External appraisals are obtained from the Corporation’s approved appraiser listing and are independently reviewed to monitor the quality of such appraisals. To the extent a collateral shortfall position is present, a specific reserve or charge-off will be recorded to reflect the magnitude of the impairment. Loans and leases in this category are monitored by management and loan committees of the Banks on a monthly basis and the Banks’ Boards of Directors at each of their regularly scheduled meetings.
Utilizing regulatory classification terminology, the Corporation identified $21.6 million and $22.0 million of loans and leases as Substandard as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. No loans were considered Special Mention, Doubtful or Loss as of either June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. The population of Substandard loans are a subset of Category III and Category IV loans.

The difference between the loans and leases recorded investment and the unpaid principal balance of $3.8 million and $7.4 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 represents partial charge-offs resulting from confirmed losses due to the value of the collateral securing the loans and leases being below the carrying values of the loans and leases. Impaired loans and leases also included $1.1 million of loans, as of each of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, that were performing troubled debt restructurings, and thus, while not on non-accrual, were reported as impaired, due to the concession in terms. When a loan is placed on non-accrual, interest accruals are discontinued and previously accrued but uncollected interest is deducted from interest income. Cash payments collected on non-accrual loans are first applied to principal. Foregone interest represents the interest that was contractually due on the note but not received or recorded. To the extent the amount of principal on a non-accrual note is fully collected and additional cash is received, the Corporation will recognize interest income.
To determine the level and composition of the allowance for loan and lease losses, the Corporation breaks out the portfolio by segments and risk ratings. First, the Corporation evaluates loans and leases for potential impairment classification. The Corporation analyzes each loan and lease determined to be impaired on an individual basis to determine a specific reserve based upon the estimated value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans, or alternatively, the present value of expected cash flows. The Corporation applies historical trends from established risk factors to each category of loans and leases that has not been individually evaluated for the purpose of establishing the general portion of the allowance.
As of June 30, 2013, based on the results of the Corporation’s continuous risk assessment and monitoring process, the Corporation refined its methodology of establishing the general portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses attributable to the historical loss migration by shortening the historical loss period from five years to three years and increasing the historical loss factor applied to Category III loans. Both changes were implemented to more accurately reflect the estimate of incurred losses for the collectively evaluated loans as of the balance sheet date. The impact of the changes was not material individually or in the aggregate.
A summary of the activity in the allowance for loan and lease losses by portfolio segment is as follows:

As of June 30, 2013, the Corporation was in compliance with its debt covenants under its third party senior line of credit. The Corporation pays an unused line fee on its secured senior line of credit. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Corporation incurred $3,000 and $2,000, respectively, of additional interest expense due to this fee. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Corporation incurred $7,000 and $5,000 of additional interest expense, respectively. The unused line fee is recorded as a component of interest expense.

Note 8 — Fair Value Disclosures
The Corporation determines the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC Topic 820, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received in an orderly transaction that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale at the measurement date and is based on exit prices. Fair value includes assumptions about risk such as nonperformance risk in liability fair values and is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.
Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included with Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Corporation’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Impaired loans that are collateral dependent were written down to their net realizable value of $8.3 million and $8.5 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, through the establishment of specific reserves or by recording charge-offs when the carrying value exceeded the fair value. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach, or cost approach were used to measure fair value and primarily included observable inputs for the individual impaired loans being evaluated such as current appraisals, recent sales of similar assets or other observable market data, and are reflected within Level 2 of the hierarchy. In cases where an input is unobservable, specifically discounts applied to appraisal values to adjust such values to current market conditions or to reflect net realizable value, the impaired loan balance is reflected within Level 3 of the hierarchy. The quantification of unobservable inputs for Level 3 impaired loan values range from 15% - 100%. The weighted average range of those unobservable inputs as of the measurement date of June 30, 2013 was 25%. The majority of the impaired loans in the Level 3 category are considered collateral dependent loans.

Table of Contents

Non-financial assets subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis included foreclosed properties. Foreclosed properties, upon initial recognition, are re-measured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for loan and lease losses, if deemed necessary, based upon the fair value of the foreclosed property. The fair value of a foreclosed property, upon initial recognition, is estimated using a market approach or Level 2 inputs based on observable market data, typically a current appraisal, or Level 3 inputs based upon assumptions specific to the individual property or equipment. Level 3 inputs typically include unobservable inputs such as management applied discounts used to further reduce values to a net realizable value and may be used in situations when observable inputs become stale. Foreclosed property fair value inputs may transition to Level 1 upon receipt of an accepted offer for the sale of the related foreclosed property. As of June 30, 2013, there were no foreclosed properties supported by a Level 3 valuation. Subsequent impairments of foreclosed properties are recorded as a loss on foreclosed properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, $110,000 of outstanding loans were transferred to foreclosed properties. The Corporation completed an evaluation of certain of its foreclosed assets. Based upon the evaluation and the results of the impairment calculation, impairment losses of $100,000 on foreclosed properties were recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The activity of the Corporation’s foreclosed properties is summarized as follows:

Disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value, is required whether or not recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent the underlying value of the Corporation.
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported for cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits held by the Corporation, accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximate fair value because of their immediate availability and because they do not present unanticipated credit concerns. The carrying value of commercial paper, included in the cash and cash equivalents category, approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity structure of the instrument. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Corporation held $5.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively, of commercial paper. The fair value of commercial paper is considered a Level 3 input due to the lack of available independent pricing sources. The carrying value of brokered certificates of deposit purchased is equivalent to the purchase price of the instruments as the Corporation has not elected a fair value option for these instruments. The fair value of brokered certificates of deposits purchased is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows using a discount rate reflective of rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Corporation held $6.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively, of brokered certificates of deposits.

Table of Contents

Securities: The fair value measurements of investment securities are determined by a third-party pricing service which considers observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the securities’ terms and conditions, among other things. The fair value measurements are subject to independent verification to another pricing source on a quarterly basis to review for reasonableness. In addition, the Corporation reviews the third-party valuation methodology on a periodic basis. Any significant differences in valuation are reviewed with appropriate members of management who have the relevant technical expertise to assess the results. The Corporation has determined that these valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. When the independent pricing service does not provide a fair value measurement for a particular security, the Corporation will estimate the fair value based on specific information about each security. Fair values derived in this manner are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Loans and Leases: The fair value estimation process for the loan portfolio uses an exit price concept and reflects discounts that the Corporation believes are consistent with liquidity discounts in the market place. Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. The fair value of performing and nonperforming loans is calculated by discounting scheduled and expected cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the portfolio of loans and then applying a discount factor based upon the embedded credit risk of the loan and the fair value of collateral securing nonperforming loans when the loan is collateral dependent. The estimate of maturity is based on the Banks’ historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions. Significant unobservable inputs include, but are not limited to, discounts (investor yield premiums) applied to fair value calculations to further determine the exit price value of a portfolio of loans.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock: The carrying amount of FHLB stock equals its fair value because the shares may be redeemed by the FHLB at their carrying amount of $100 per share.
Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance: The carrying amount of the cash surrender value of life insurance approximates its fair value as the carrying value represents the current settlement amount.
Deposits: The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposits and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value estimates do not include the intangible value that results from the funding provided by deposit liabilities compared to borrowing funds in the market.
Borrowed Funds: Market rates currently available to the Corporation and Banks for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risks: The fair value of the Corporation’s off-balance-sheet instruments is based on quoted market prices and fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit standing of the related counterparty. Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are generally not marketable. Furthermore, interest rates on any amounts drawn under such commitments would generally be established at market rates at the time of the draw. Fair value would principally derive from the present value of fees received for those products.
Interest Rate Swaps: The carrying amount and fair value of existing derivative financial instruments are based upon independent valuation models, which use widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative contract. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Corporation incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Corporation considers the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees.
Limitations: Fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Corporation’s entire holding of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Corporation’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Table of Contents

Fair value estimates are based on existing balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and are not considered in the estimates.
Note 9 — Derivative Financial Instruments
The Corporation offers interest rate swap products directly to qualified commercial borrowers. The Corporation economically hedges client derivative transactions by entering into offsetting interest rate swap contracts executed with a third party. Derivative transactions executed as part of this program are not designated as accounting hedge relationships and are marked to market through earnings each period. The derivative contracts have mirror-image terms, which results in the positions’ changes in fair value primarily offsetting through earnings each period. The credit risk and risk of non-performance embedded in the fair value calculations is different between the dealer counterparties and the commercial borrowers, which may result in a difference in the changes in the fair value of the mirror-image swaps. The Corporation incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own non-performance risk and the counterparty’s risk in the fair value measurements. When evaluating the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effects of non-performance and credit risk, the Corporation considers the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements such as collateral postings, thresholds and guarantees.
At June 30, 2013, the aggregate amortizing notional value of interest rate swaps with various commercial borrowers was $58.7 million. The Corporation receives fixed rates and pays floating rates based upon LIBOR on the swaps with commercial borrowers. These interest rate swaps mature in August, 2013 through February, 2023. Commercial borrower swaps are completed independently with each borrower and are not subject to master netting arrangements. These commercial borrower swaps were reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a derivative asset of $1.5 million, included in accrued interest receivable and other assets, and as a derivative liability of $581,000, included in accrued interest payable and other liabilities. In the event of default on a commercial borrower interest rate swap by the counterparty, a right of offset exists to allow for the commercial borrower to set off amounts due against the related commercial loan. As of June 30, 2013, no interest rate swaps were in default and therefore all values for the commercial borrower swaps are recorded on a gross basis within the Corporation’s financial position.
At June 30, 2013, the aggregate amortizing notional value of interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties was also $58.7 million. The Corporation pays fixed rates and receives floating rates based upon LIBOR on the swaps with dealer counterparties. These interest rate swaps mature in August, 2013 through February, 2023. Dealer counterparty swaps are subject to master netting agreements and are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a net derivative liability of $873,000. The value of these swaps was included in accrued interest payable and other liabilities as of June 30, 2013. The gross amount of dealer counterparty swaps, without regard to the enforceable master netting agreement, was a gross derivative liability of $1.5 million and $581,000 gross derivative asset. No right of offset exists with the dealer counterparty swaps.
The table below provides information about the location and fair value of the Corporation’s derivative instruments as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

No derivative instruments held by the Corporation for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were considered hedging instruments. All changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in other non-interest income. Given the mirror-image terms of the outstanding derivative portfolio, the change in fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 had an insignificant impact to the unaudited consolidated statements of income.

Note 10 — Regulatory Capital
The Corporation and the Banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by Federal and State of Wisconsin banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions on the part of regulators, that if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Banks’ assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory practices. The Corporation’s and the Banks’ capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. The Corporation has updated its Capital and Liquidity Action Plan, which is designed to help ensure appropriate capital adequacy, to plan for future capital needs and to ensure that the Corporation serves as a source of financial strength to the Banks. The Corporation’s and the Banks’ Boards of Directors and management teams adhere to the appropriate regulatory guidelines on decisions which affect their respective capital positions, including but not limited to, decisions relating to the payment of dividends and increasing indebtedness.
As a bank holding company, the Corporation’s ability to pay dividends is affected by the policies and enforcement powers of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve system (the “Federal Reserve”). Federal Reserve guidance urges companies to strongly consider eliminating, deferring or significantly reducing dividends if: (i) net income available to common shareholders for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid during that period, is not sufficient to fully fund the dividend; (ii) the prospective rate of earnings retention is not consistent with the bank holding company’s capital needs and overall current prospective financial condition; or (iii) the bank holding company will not meet, or is in danger of not meeting, its minimum regulatory capital ratios. Management intends, when appropriate under regulatory guidelines, to consult with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and provide it with information on the Corporation’s then-current and prospective earnings and capital position in advance of declaring any cash dividends.
The Banks are also subject to certain legal, regulatory and other restrictions on their ability to pay dividends to the Corporation. As a bank holding company, the payment of dividends by the Banks to the Corporation is one of the sources of funds the Corporation could use to pay dividends, if any, in the future and to make other payments. Future dividend decisions by the Banks and the Corporation will continue to be subject to compliance with various legal, regulatory and other restrictions as defined from time to time.
Qualitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Tier 1 capital generally consists of stockholders’ equity plus certain qualifying debentures and other specified items less intangible assets such as goodwill. Risk-based capital requirements presently address credit risk related to both recorded and off-balance-sheet commitments and obligations. Management believes, as of June 30, 2013, that the Corporation and the Banks met all applicable capital adequacy requirements.
As of June 30, 2013, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the State of Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions categorized the Banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

These risks could cause actual results to differ materially from what the Corporation has anticipated or projected. These risk factors and uncertainties should be carefully considered by our shareholders and potential investors. See Item 1A — Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for discussion relating to risk factors impacting the Corporation. Investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

Where any such forward-looking statement includes a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying such forward-looking statement, the Corporation cautions that, while its management believes such assumptions or bases are reasonable and are made in good faith, assumed facts or bases can vary from actual results, and the differences between assumed facts or bases and actual results can be material, depending on the circumstances. Where, in any forward-looking statement, an expectation or belief is expressed as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation or belief will be achieved or accomplished.
The Corporation does not intend to, and specifically disclaims any obligation to, update any forward-looking statements.
The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant events and factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation for the periods indicated. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto presented in this Form 10-Q.

Overview
The Corporation is a registered bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Wisconsin and is engaged in the commercial banking business through its wholly-owned banking subsidiaries, FBB and FBB-Milwaukee. All of the operations of the Corporation are conducted through the Banks and certain subsidiaries of FBB. The Corporation operates as a business bank focusing on delivering a full line of commercial banking products and services tailored to meet the specific needs of small- and medium-sized businesses, business owners, executives, professionals and high net worth individuals. The Corporation does not utilize a branch network to attract retail clients. Our strategic initiatives include, but are not limited to, improving our asset quality as well as increasing full banking relationships with commercial and industrial clients in order to increase our in-market deposits, enhance our loan and lease portfolio and grow our non-interest income. We intend to add business development officers as appropriate to continue revenue growth and ongoing pre-tax adjusted earnings improvement. We believe this strategy will create opportunities to capitalize on economic expansion as well as any current disruption to our competitors' businesses in our core Wisconsin area.

Pre-tax Adjusted Earnings
Pre-tax adjusted earnings is comprised of our pre-tax income adding back (1) our provision for loan and leases losses, (2) other identifiable costs of credit and (3) other discrete items that are unrelated to our primary business activities. In our judgment, the presentation of Pre-tax adjusted earnings allows our management team, investors and analysts to better assess the growth of our business by removing the volatility that is associated with costs of credit and other discrete items and facilitates a more streamlined comparison of growth to our benchmark peers. Pre-tax adjusted earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income derived in accordance with GAAP. Our Pre-tax adjusted earnings metric improved by 11.4% and 15.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Return on Average Assets and Return on Average Equity
Annualized return on average assets ("ROAA") for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 1.02% compared to 0.54% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in annualized ROAA for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the ROAA for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to the improvement in net income. ROAA for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 1.04% compared to 0.64% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and also improved primarily due to the improvement in net income. ROAA is a critical metric used by us to measure the profitability of our organization and how efficiently our assets are deployed. ROAA is a measurement that allows us to better benchmark our profitability to our peers without the need to consider different degrees of leverage which can ultimately influence return on equity measures.
Annualized return on average equity ("ROAE") for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 12.05% compared to 9.16% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in ROAE for this period was primarily the result of increased net income partially offset by the effects of our common stock offering in December 2012. In that offering, we successfully raised $29.1 million through the issuance of 1,265,000 common shares at $23.00 per share. The $27.1 million of net proceeds was used to immediately repay a portion of our outstanding subordinated debt and increased our overall equity levels. ROAE for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 12.42% compared to 11.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The ROAE for the six-month period of 2013 increased as a result of improved net income which outpaced the increase in our growth in average equity due to the common stock offering. We view return on average equity to be an important measure of profitability, and we continue to focus on improving our return to our shareholders by enhancing the overall profitability of our client relationships, controlling our expenses and minimizing our costs of credit.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income levels depend on the amounts of and yields on interest-earning assets as compared to the amounts of and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is sensitive to changes in market rates of interest and the asset/liability management procedures to prepare for and respond to such changes.

Net interest income increased by $584,000, or 6.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to favorable rate and volume variances associated with our funding sources. The cost of funds associated with our deposit base continued to decline, specifically in our money market accounts. Further, due to the current low rate environment, newly issued brokered certificates of deposit were issued at substantially lower rates than those being replaced. Additionally, as a result of our equity offering in December 2012, we repaid $27.1 million of subordinated debt. This reduction of long-term debt also contributed to the improved net interest income. The improvement in net interest income due to the lower cost of liabilities was partially offset by net unfavorable variances in interest income from our loan and lease portfolio. Even though short-term interest rates have remained relatively stable over the comparative periods, competition remains strong for high quality loans and leases, and has led to a reduction in yields on new loans and leases.
The yield on average earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 4.47% compared to 5.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decline in the yield on average earning assets was attributable to several factors. The total loans and leases receivable yield was 5.28% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 6.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. A significant portion of the commercial real estate portfolio is comprised of fixed rate loans with

Table of Contents

terms generally up to five years. As these loans reached their maturity they were renewed at current market rates, which were generally lower than the original rate of the loan, and subject to competitive pricing pressures. As a result, the overall yield on the commercial real estate portfolio declined. The marketplace for commercial and industrial loans also continues to be subject to competitive pressures, contributing to the decline in yield on this portfolio. The yield on commercial and industrial loans is further influenced by irregular prepayment activity and any prepayment fees collected in lieu of interest. We have been successful in growing each of these portfolios such that the increase in volume has kept interest income associated with the loan and lease portfolio from significantly declining despite the lower average yields.
In addition, the yields on the securities portfolio continue to decline. The yield on mortgage-related securities was 1.68% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 1.89% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. We primarily invest in collateralized mortgage obligations with structured cash flow payments that result in an average life of the security of approximately three years. The cash flows generated from these expected structured cash flow payments were reinvested in additional collateralized mortgage obligations at current market yields. Given the continued low rate environment, the reinvestment yields on these new purchases were generally lower than the original yield earned and therefore the yield on this portfolio declined. Throughout the latter part of 2012 and continuing into 2013, we have utilized a portion of excess cash to investment in other investment securities such as agency and callable agency securities with relatively short maturities. This allowed for increased yield opportunity while maintaining our on-balance-sheet liquidity. The average balance for the investment securities portfolio was $35.7 million with a yield of 1.37% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $13.2 million with a yield of 1.40% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Over the last several quarters, we have been successful in reducing the average balance of excess cash that was previously held in our Federal Reserve Bank account. Excess cash was utilized to fund loan and lease growth, invest in agency and other investment securities, and used to repay maturing brokered certificates of deposits. The average balance of the short-term investment portfolio was $45.6 million with a yield of 0.43% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the $71.6 million with a yield of 0.28% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. As we continue to use this excess cash, we will defer to other strategies to fund asset growth. Other strategies may include temporary use of FHLB short-term advances and orderly issuance of long-term brokered certificates of deposit designed to mitigate interest rate risk as we provide fixed rate loan alternatives to our clients. The improvement in yield in our short-term investments was related to the purchase of commercial paper and brokered certificates of deposits from other issuers with yields in excess of the target fed funds rate.
The overall weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of 65 basis points from 1.84% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in the overall rate on the interest-bearing liabilities was primarily caused by a decreasing rate paid on our interest-bearing deposits coupled with a substantially lower average balance of other borrowings, most notably subordinated debt. During December 2012, we completed a common stock offering, the net proceeds of which were used to repay approximately $27.1 million of subordinated debt. As a result, average other borrowings declined $29.7 million, or 70.8%, to $12.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $42.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Total FHLB advances increased by $24.1 million to $24.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $477,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This increase was caused by the utilization of short-term FHLB advances as a short-term funding strategy to fund asset growth, specifically loan and lease growth, while we accumulated brokered certificates of deposit in an orderly manner. The FHLB advances short-term funding strategy included advances with terms ranging from one week to one month which were repaid at maturity with funds obtained from issuing brokered certificates of deposit. The short-term advances had interest rates between 0.14% and 0.17% and provided cost effective temporary funding. We expect to continue to use this strategy for the near term.
The weighted average rate paid on our interest-bearing deposits was 1.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of 46 basis points from 1.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The continued low interest rate environment has allowed us to lower the overall rate paid on our in-market deposits. We have been successful in attracting in-market deposit relationships, specifically money market deposits, which has provided us the opportunity to slightly reduce our dependency on brokered certificates of deposit. The average balance of brokered certificates of deposit decreased by $18.1 million to $381.5 million from $399.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. As we have utilized a significant portion of our excess cash, we continue to issue brokered certificates of deposit to help fund loan growth and specifically gather deposits with maturity terms in order to mitigate our interest rate risk. Due to actual funding activity late in the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we expect the average balance of brokered certificates of deposit to increase, but we remain committed to limiting our reliance on this source of funding as we continue to seek additional in-market deposit relationships.
Net interest margin decreased three basis points to 3.46% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 3.49% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Collectively, reducing our overall cost of funds by way of changing the mix of our deposit base positively affected our net interest margin by approximately 38 basis points. In addition, repaying a portion

41

Table of Contents

of our subordinated debt and the use of FHLB short-term advances for temporary funding needs positively affected our net interest margin by approximately 20 basis points. The positive items noted in net interest margin were offset by a negative impact of 57 basis point reduction in net interest margin due to the net decline of interest income on our loan and lease portfolio and a four basis point impact relating to the reinvestment of our cash flows from our mortgage-related securities portfolio at lower current market rates.
Net interest income increased by $1.9 million, or 10.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase in net interest income during the six-month period was primarily attributable to favorable rate and volume variances from lower cost and lower average balance of brokered certificates of deposit and lower cost money market deposits, partially offset by an overall unfavorable variance affiliated with the decline in interest income on the loan and lease portfolio. The yield on average earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 4.53% compared to 4.94% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decline in the yield on average earning assets was related to the overall decline in the yield on the loan and lease portfolio which declined 72 basis points to 5.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 6.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The changes in the yield on average earning assets were generally for the same reasons as explained for the second quarter.
The overall weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of 64 basis points from 1.88% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in the overall rate on the interest-bearing liabilities was primarily caused by the replacement of certain maturing certificates of deposit, principally brokered certificates of deposit, at lower current market rates coupled with a lower rate paid on our money market accounts. The continued low rate environment combined with the maturity structure of our brokered certificates of deposit provided us the opportunity to be able to manage our liability structure in both maturity terms and rate to deliver an enhanced net interest margin for the first six months of 2013 relative to 2012. Applying the net proceeds of our December 2012 common stock offering to repay approximately $27.1 million of our subordinated debt caused our average balance of other borrowings to decline by $28.9 million, or 70.4%, to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $41.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Net interest margin increased approximately 18 basis points to 3.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 3.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Reducing our overall cost of funds by way of changing the mix of our deposit base positively affected our net interest margin by approximately 40 basis points. In addition, repaying a portion of our subordinated debt and the temporary use of FHLB short-term advances positively affected our net interest margin by approximately 19 basis points. The positive items noted in net interest margin were partially offset by a 38 basis point reduction in net interest margin due to the net decline of interest income on our loan and lease portfolio among other factors.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses. The provision for loan and lease losses totaled $54,000 and $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The provision for loan and lease losses totaled $134,000 and $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We determine our provision for loan and lease losses based upon credit risk and other subjective factors pursuant to our allowance for loan and lease loss methodology, the magnitude of current and historical net charge-offs recorded in the period and the amount of reserves established for impaired loans that present collateral shortfall positions.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the factors influencing the provision for loan and lease losses were the following:

The establishment/modification of specific reserves on impaired loans represents new specific reserves established on impaired loans for which, although collateral shortfalls are present, we believe we will be able to recover our principal and/or it represents the release of previously established reserves that are no longer required. A decrease in allowance for loan and lease losses reserves due to subjective factor changes reflects management’s evaluation of the level of risk within the portfolio based upon the level and trend of certain criteria such as delinquencies, volume and average loan size, average risk rating, technical defaults, geographic concentrations, loans and leases on management attention watch lists, unemployment rates in our market areas, experience in credit granting functions, and changes in underwriting standards. As our asset quality metrics improve and the level and trend of the factors improve for a sustainable period of time, the level of general reserve due to these factors may be reduced causing an overall reduction in the level of the required reserve deemed to be appropriate by management. Conversely, increases in the level and trend of these factors may warrant an increase to our overall allowance for loan loss. Charge-offs in excess of specific reserves represent an additional provision for loan and lease losses required to maintain the allowance for loan and leases at a level deemed appropriate by management. This amount is net of the release of any specific reserve that may have already been provided. Charge-offs in excess of specific reserves can occur in situations where: (i) a loan has previously been partially written down to its estimated fair value and continues to decline, (ii) rapid deterioration of a credit requires an immediate partial or full charge-off, or (iii) the specific reserve was not adequate to cover the amount of the required charge-off. Change in the inherent risk of the portfolio can be influenced by growth or migration in and out of an impaired loan classification where a specific evaluation of a particular credit may be required rather than the application of a general reserve ratio. Refer to Asset Quality for further information regarding the overall credit quality of our loan and lease portfolio.
Non-interest income. Non-interest income, consisting primarily of fees earned for trust and investment services, service charges on deposits, increase in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, credit, merchant and debit card fees and loan fees increased $270,000, or 14.2%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in trust and investment services fee income and the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by a decrease in credit, merchant and debit card fees.
Trust and investment services fee income grew by $215,000, or 28.5%, to $970,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $755,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Trust and investment services fee income is primarily driven by the amount of assets under management and can be positively or negatively influenced by the timing and magnitude of volatility within the equity markets. Fee income derived from assets under administration is influenced by the volume of transactions processed for our clients.
At June 30, 2013, we had $676.9 million of trust assets under management compared to $613.5 million at December 31, 2012 and $608.8 million at June 30, 2012. Assets under administration were $175.9 million at June 30, 2013 compared to $170.7 million at December 31, 2012 and $138.4 million at June 30, 2012. The growth in assets under management, as well as assets under administration, was primarily due to improved market values and establishing new client relationships. We expect to continue to increase our assets under management, but we also expect that assets under management and trust and investment services fee income will continue to be affected by market volatility for the foreseeable future.
Increase in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance improved $36,000, or 20.5%, to $212,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $176,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The improvement was directly related to the purchase of additional bank-owned life insurance in December 2012.
Credit, merchant and debit card fees decreased by $30,000, or 46.9%, to $34,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $64,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of our credit card portfolio during the third quarter of 2012 which led to less fee income in the 2013 period. As we finalize our deconversion, we expect fees in this category to be insignificant in future periods.
Non-interest income increased $373,000, or 9.9%, to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in trust and investment services fee income and increase in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by a decline in credit, merchant and debit card fees.
Trust and investment services fee income increased by $355,000, or 24.6%, to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Consistent with the second quarter activity, trust and investment services fee income was primarily driven by the amount of assets under management as market values continue to improve and we add additional client relationships. Assets under management can be positively or negatively influenced by the timing and magnitude of volatility within the equity markets and will therefore influence the level of fee income recognized.

Increase in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance increased $73,000, or 21.1%, to $419,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $346,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was directly related to the purchase of additional bank-owned life insurance in December 2012.

Credit, merchant and debit card fees decreased by $52,000, or 43.7%, to $67,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $119,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of our credit card portfolio during the third quarter of 2012 which led to less fee income in the 2013 period. As we finalize the de-conversion of our credit card portfolio, we expect fees in this category to be insignificant in future periods.
Non-interest expense. Non-interest expense increased by $358,000, or 5.0%, to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $7.1 million for the comparable period of 2012. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily caused by an increase in compensation expense, data processing expense, marketing expenses, and other non-interest expenses, partially offset by a decline in FDIC insurance expense.
Compensation expense increased by $281,000, or 6.6%, to $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increased number of full-time equivalent positions filled throughout 2012 in support of strategic initiatives and annual merit increases.
Data processing expense increased by $52,000, or 14.9%, to $402,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $350,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily related to de-conversion costs associated with the sale of our credit card portfolio as we finalize the transition, coupled with increasing costs from our core service providers.
Marketing expense grew by $73,000, or 26.2%, to $352,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $279,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily related to an increase in the level of sponsorships in support of our branding efforts and the completion of various marketing campaigns.
Other non-interest expense increased by $306,000, or 43.9%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $697,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Other non-interest expenses increased primarily as a result of our adjustment to the overall carrying value of our investment in one of our limited partnerships to reflect the allocation of certain of the partnership’s returns to the general partner now that the fund attained certain preferred rates of return. The increase in other non-interest expense due to the carrying value adjustment described above was partially offset by a reduction in the amount of real estate owned expenses. As we continue to dispose of foreclosed properties, we are incurring fewer expenses associated with the holding of these assets.
FDIC insurance expense decreased by $340,000, or 63.8%, to $193,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $533,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. FDIC insurance expense is based upon a formula that incorporates a variety of factors, including but not limited to, average total assets, average tangible equity and the overall risk profile of the institution. A change in any one of these factors during the comparative reporting periods may cause the underlying assessment base rate to fluctuate and therefore influence the total expense accrued.
Non-interest expense increased by $704,000, or 5.0%, to $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $14.0 million for the comparable period of 2012. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily caused by an increase in compensation expense, professional fees, data processing expenses, marketing expenses, and other non-interest expenses and was partially offset primarily by declines in FDIC insurance expense, collateral liquidation costs and losses on foreclosed properties.
Compensation expense increased by $1.0 million, or 12.2%, to $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was due to increased salary expense, which was primarily the result of new positions filled in support of strategic initiatives and annual merit increases. Other increased ancillary compensation costs included additional costs associated with higher health insurance premiums and a larger employee base for which health insurance benefits are provided.
Professional fees increased by $127,000, or 14.4%, to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $879,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in professional fees was primarily due to increased audit and tax fees associated with new compliance requirements for 2013 and fees incurred for professional and consulting fees in support of strategic initiatives.
Data processing expenses increased by $137,000, or 20.5%, to $804,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $667,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in data processing expenses was related to our efforts to invest

44

in upgrading various systems to provide new technology solutions and deconversion costs incurred as we finalize the sale of our credit card portfolio.
Marketing expense increased by $92,000, or 16.9%, to $637,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $545,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in marketing expenses was related to various media and production expenses to promote business areas of emphasis and new business development talent coupled with an increase in the level of sponsorships in support of our branding efforts.
Other non-interest expense increased by $373,000, or 31.21%, to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Similar to the discussion surrounding our quarter-to-date results, other non-interest expenses increased primarily as a result of our adjustment to the overall carrying value of our investment in one of our limited partnerships to reflect the allocation of certain of the partnership’s returns to the general partner now that the fund attained certain preferred rates of return. The increase in other non-interest expense due to the carrying value adjustment of our limited partnership as previously described was partially offset by a reduction in the amount of real estate owned expenses. As we continue to dispose of foreclosed properties, we are incurring fewer expenses associated with the holding of these assets.
FDIC insurance expense decreased by $722,000, or 64.5%, to $398,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. FDIC insurance expense is based upon a formula that incorporates a variety of factors, including but not limited to, average total assets, average tangible equity and the overall risk profile of the institution. A change in any one of these risk elements during the comparative reporting periods may cause the underlying assessment base rate to fluctuate and therefore influence the total expense accrued.
Collateral liquidation costs decreased by $128,000, or 68.4%, to $59,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $187,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. We have been successful in reducing our levels of non-performing loans and therefore incurred a lower level of collateral liquidation costs year over year. In addition, during the first quarter of 2013, we collected certain collateral liquidation costs previously expensed. The amount of collateral liquidation costs recorded in any particular period is influenced by the timing and level of effort required for the liquidation of collateral underlying each individual loan.
Net loss on foreclosed properties decreased by $193,000 to $49,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $242,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net loss on foreclosed properties is influenced by the level of sale activity of foreclosed properties and subsequent valuation adjustments. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized net gains of $51,000 on sales of foreclosed properties and recorded $100,000 of impairment valuation adjustments. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized net losses of $123,000 on sales of foreclosed properties and recorded $119,000 of impairment valuation adjustments. As we continue to dispose of our foreclosed properties and as real estate values in our primary market areas stabilize comparability between periods will vary.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, with an effective tax rate of 34.6% compared to income tax expense of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, with an effective tax rate of 34.6%. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory corporate tax rate as follows:

Generally, the provision for income taxes is determined by applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to income before taxes and adjusting for discrete items. Typically, the rate is based on the most recent annualized forecast of pre-tax income, book versus tax differences and tax credits, if any. If we conclude that a reliable estimated annual effective tax rate

45

Table of Contents

cannot be determined, the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date period may be used. We re-evaluate the income tax rates each quarter. Therefore, the current projected effective tax rate for the entire year may change.
Financial Condition
General. Our total assets increased by $50.0 million, or 4.1%, to $1.276 billion as of June 30, 2013 compared to $1.226 billion at December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily driven by growth in our loan and lease portfolio which totaled approximately $36.2 million, or 4.0% , to $932.7 million as of June 30, 2013 compared to $896.6 million at December 31, 2012.
Short-term investments. Short-term investments increased by $27.9 million to $91.8 million at June 30, 2013 from $64.0 million at December 31, 2012. Our short-term investments primarily consist of interest-bearing deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank. The level of our short-term investments will be influenced by the timing of deposit gathering, scheduled maturities of brokered deposits, funding of loan growth when opportunities are presented, and the level of our available-for-sale securities portfolio. We value the safety and soundness provided by the Federal Reserve Bank and therefore we incorporate short-term investments in our on-balance-sheet liquidity program. Please refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources for further discussion.
Securities. Securities available-for-sale decreased by $6.1 million to $194.5 million at June 30, 2013 compared to $200.6 million at December 31, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we reinvested a portion of the cash flows received from our securities portfolio to support growth in our loan and lease portfolio. In addition, the overall value of our securities portfolio has declined given recent increases in long-term interest rates which negatively affects the value of the bonds we hold. The weighted average life of our securities portfolio, at approximately 3.5 years, will exhibit an element of market price volatility in a changing rate environment that would be experienced to a lesser degree if a shorter duration were maintained. Our available-for-sale securities portfolio primarily consists of collateralized mortgage obligations and agency obligations and is used to provide a source of liquidity, including the ability to pledge securities for possible future cash advances, while contributing to the earnings potential of the Banks. The overall duration of the securities portfolio is established and maintained to further mitigate interest rate risk present within our balance sheet as identified through our asset/liability simulations. We purchase securities intended to protect our net interest margin while maintaining an acceptable risk profile. In addition, we will purchase investments to utilize our cash position effectively within appropriate policy guidelines and estimates of future cash demands. While collateralized mortgage obligations present prepayment risk and extension risk, we believe the overall credit risk associated with these investments is minimal, as the majority of the obligations we hold were guaranteed by the GNMA, a U.S. government agency. The estimated prepayment streams associated with this portfolio also allow us to better match our short-term liabilities. The Banks’ investment policies allow for various types of investments, including tax-exempt municipal securities. The ability to invest in tax-exempt municipal securities provides for further opportunity to improve our overall yield on our securities portfolio. We evaluate the credit risk of the municipal obligations prior to purchase and limit our exposure of obligations to general obligation issuances from municipalities, primarily in Wisconsin.
As we continue to evaluate the level of on-balance-sheet liquidity, we continue to purchase U.S. Government agency obligations, primarily those obligations issued by FHLMC and FNMA. We have structured these purchases to have final maturities within two to four years from the issue date. Certain of the securities contain either quarterly or one-time call features. The maturity structure of our securities portfolio allows us to effectively manage the cash flows of these securities along with the collateralized mortgage obligations to be able to meet loan demand in the near future without the need to immediately borrow funds from our various funding sources and proactively adjust the portfolio should interest rates rise within the next two to four years. Our management deems these securities to be creditworthy and believes they exhibit appropriate market yields for the risks assumed. We expect to continue to purchase these types of approved securities with appropriate maturity terms when they are available in the market.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized unrealized holding losses of $3.0 million through other comprehensive income. Such declines are as a result of increases in longer term interest rates as described above. The majority of the securities we hold have active trading markets, therefore we have not experienced difficulties in pricing our securities. We use a third-party pricing service as our primary source of market prices for our securities portfolio. On a quarterly basis, we validate the reasonableness of prices received from this source through independent verification of a representative sample of the portfolio, data integrity validation through comparison of current price to prior period prices, and an expectation-based analysis of movement in prices based upon the changes in the related yield curves and other market factors. On a periodic basis, we review the third-party pricing vendor’s methodology for pricing relevant securities and the results of its internal control assessments. Our securities portfolio is sensitive to fluctuations in the interest rate environment and has limited sensitivity to credit risk due to the nature of the issuers and guarantors of our securities as previously discussed. If interest rates decline and the credit quality of the securities remains constant or improves, the market value of our debt securities portfolio

46

Table of Contents

would likely improve, thereby increasing our total comprehensive income. If interest rates increase or the credit quality of the securities decline, the market value of our debt securities portfolio would likely decline and therefore decrease our total comprehensive income. No securities within our portfolio were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2013. There were no sales of securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Loans and Leases Receivable. Loans and leases receivable, net of allowance for loan and lease losses, increased by $36.2 million, or 4.0%, to $932.7 million at June 30, 2013 from $896.6 million at December 31, 2012. We principally originate commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans. The overall mix of the loan and lease portfolio at June 30, 2013 remained generally consistent with the mix at December 31, 2012, with a continued concentration in commercial real estate mortgage loans, including owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, at approximately 68% of our total loan and lease portfolio.
We were successful in growing both our commercial real estate and commercial and industrial portfolios. Our commercial real estate portfolio increased by $20.7 million, or 3.3%, to $644.7 million at June 30, 2013 from $624.0 million at December 31, 2012. Our commercial and industrial portfolio increased $16.3 million, or 6.4%, to $272.8 million at June 30, 2013 from $256.5 million at December 31, 2012. We are actively pursuing commercial and industrial loans as this segment of our loan and lease portfolio provides an attractive yield commensurate with an appropriate level of credit risk and generates in-market deposit relationships which may also translate into additional fee revenue. Given the measured pace of improvement in economic conditions and what we believe to be an increased source of confidence within our marketplace, there is nascent evidence of increased loan demand. While we continue to experience greater competition as banks operating in our primary geographic area attempt to deploy excess liquidity, we remain committed to our underwriting standards and will not deviate from those standards for the sole purpose of growing our loan and lease portfolio. We expect our new loan and lease activity to be more than adequate to replace normal amortization and to continue to grow in future quarters.
The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of gross loans and leases was 1.60% at June 30, 2013, a nine basis point decline from 1.69% as of December 31, 2012. Non-accrual loans and leases as a percentage of gross loans and leases decreased to 1.18% at June 30, 2013 compared to 1.55% at December 31, 2012. Non-performing loans decreased $2.9 million, or 20.4%, to $11.2 million at June 30, 2013 compared to $14.1 million at December 31, 2012. We have experienced consistent improvement in our various asset quality ratios for several quarters. Given the improvements in asset quality, declining levels of specific reserves required, declining level of charge-offs and ultimately a lower three-year average of historical losses, management is comfortable with a lower level of allowance for loan loss reserves as a percentage of total loans and leases. We continue to aggressively work through our problem loans and leases and are experiencing success in certain exit strategies. Further reductions in the level of the allowance for loan and lease losses as percentage of total loans and leases will be considered if improving asset quality trends continue.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded net charge-offs on impaired loans and leases of approximately $332,000, comprised of $658,000 of charge-offs and $326,000 of recoveries. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded net charge-offs on impaired loans and leases of approximately $1.9 million, comprised of $2.1 million of charge-offs and $184,000 of recoveries. Based upon our observations in our primary market areas, commercial real estate values appear to be stabilizing, which significantly reduced our level of required charge-offs as collateral dependent loans are reflected at their net realizable values. Nevertheless, we may continue to experience some level of charge-offs as exit strategies are considered and executed. Loans and leases with previously established specific reserves may ultimately result in a charge-off under a variety of scenarios. Charge-offs in 2012 were primarily due to losses incurred through liquidation efforts on one commercial and industrial client and to a lesser extent declines in real estate values. Based upon our internal methodology which actively monitors the asset quality and inherent risks within the loan and lease portfolio, management concluded that an allowance for loan and lease losses of $15.2 million, or 1.60% of total loans and leases, was appropriate as of June 30, 2013. Refer to the Asset Quality section for more information.
Deposits. As of June 30, 2013, deposits increased by $50.7 million to $1.143 billion from $1.092 billion at December 31, 2012. The increase in deposits is primarily due to an increase in brokered certificates of deposit, which increased by $77.6 million to $452.0 million at June 30, 2013 from $374.4 million at December 31, 2012, partially off-set by a decline in the level of in-market deposits of $26.9 million at June 30, 2013 from $717.9 million at December 31, 2012.
Our strategic efforts continue to focus on adding in-market relationships and related deposits and reducing our overall dependency on brokered certificates of deposit. The Banks’ liquidity policies limit the amount of brokered certificates of deposit to 75% of total deposits, with an operating goal of 50% or less of brokered certificates of deposit to total deposits. We will likely continue to use brokered deposits to compensate for shortfalls in deposit gathering or balance fluctuations in specific maturity periods, typically three to five years, needed to effectively mitigate the interest rate risk measured through our asset/liability management process and support asset growth initiatives while taking into consideration our operating goals and desired level of dependence on brokered certificates of deposit. Despite the decline in the level of ending balances of in-market

47

Table of Contents

deposits, our number of relationships remain stable. Deposit ending balances associated with those in-market relationships will fluctuate based upon maturity of time deposits, client demands for the use of their cash and our ability to service and maintain the client relationship.
We measure the success of in-market deposit gathering efforts based on the number of and the average balances of our deposit accounts as compared to ending balances due to the volatility of some of our larger relationships. Our Banks’ in-market deposits are obtained primarily from the South Central, Northeastern and Southeastern regions of Wisconsin. Of our total year-to-date average deposits, approximately $707.9 million, or 65.6%, were considered in-market deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This compares to in-market deposits of $627.4 million, or 60.2%, for the year-to-date average at June 30, 2012. Refer to Note 6 - Deposits in our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our deposit composition.
Deposits continue to be the primary source of the Banks’ fundings for lending and other investment activities. A variety of accounts are designed to attract both short- and long-term deposits. These accounts include non-interest-bearing transaction accounts, interest-bearing transaction accounts, money market accounts and time deposits. Deposit terms offered by the Banks vary according to the minimum balance required, the time period the funds must remain on deposit, the rates and products offered by competitors and the interest rates charged on other sources of funds, among other factors. With two separately chartered financial institutions within our Corporation, we have the ability to offer our clients additional FDIC insurance coverage by maintaining separate deposits with each Bank.
FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings. As of June 30, 2013, FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased by $469,000, or 3.8%, to $11.9 million from $12.4 million at December 31, 2012. The primary reason for the decrease in borrowings was due to the final maturity of a long-term advance from the FHLB. On a year-to-date average balance basis, total FHLB advances increased by $12.6 million to $13.0 million for the six months ending June 30, 2013 compared to $478,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase is caused by the utilization of FHLB short-term advances as a temporary funding strategy to fund asset growth, specifically loan and lease growth, while we accumulated brokered certificates of deposit in an orderly manner. The FHLB advance short-term funding strategy included advances with terms ranging from one week to one month which were repaid at maturity with funds obtained from the brokered certificates of deposit. The short-term advances had interest rates between 0.14% and 0.17% and provided cost effective temporary funding.

We use a wide variety of available metrics to assess the overall asset quality of the portfolio and no one metric is used independently to make a final conclusion as to the asset quality of the portfolio. As of June 30, 2013, non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets declined to 0.93% from 1.28% at December 31, 2012. The exit strategies undertaken, including but not limited to foreclosure and other collection actions, charge-offs, and pay-offs, outpaced the identification of new impaired loans and therefore we experienced a net reduction in our non-accrual loans and leases as well as an overall reduction in our

49

Table of Contents

non-performing assets to total loans and leases and foreclosed properties. Total non-performing assets to total loans and leases and foreclosed properties as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were 1.24% and 1.72%, respectively. We believe the decline in this ratio provides insight as to our success in working problem assets through the entire process and mitigating further losses.

We also monitor early stage delinquencies to provide insight into potential future problems. As of June 30, 2013, the payment performance did not point to any new areas of concern, as approximately 100% of the loan and lease portfolio was in a current payment status. This metric can change rapidly however, if factors unknown to us change. We also monitor our asset quality through our established categories as defined in Note 5 - Loan and Lease Receivables, Impaired Loans and Leases and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses of our unaudited consolidated financial statements. We are seeing positive trends with improving percentages of loans and leases in our higher quality loan categories which is indicative of overall credit quality improvement. While asset quality has improved, we will continue to actively monitor the credit quality of our loan and lease portfolios. Through this monitoring effort, we may identify additional loans and leases for which the borrowers or lessees are having difficulties making the required principal and interest payments based upon factors including, but not limited to, the inability to sell the underlying collateral, inadequate cash flow from the operations of the underlying businesses, liquidation events, or bankruptcy filings and therefore, we expect to continue to experience additions to non-accrual loans. We are proactively working with our impaired loan borrowers to find meaningful solutions to difficult situations that are in the best interests of the Banks. As we continue to have these discussions, we expect we will continue to see further reductions in our overall non-accrual portfolio as our clients’ financial performance returns to profitable levels, collateral is liquidated to provide sufficient reductions in outstanding principal, or clients establish different banking relationships with other institutions.
Impaired loans and leases exhibit weaknesses that inhibit repayment in compliance with the original terms of the note or lease. However, the measurement of impairment on loans and leases may not always result in a specific reserve included in the allowance for loan and lease losses. As part of the underwriting process, as well as our ongoing monitoring efforts, we try to ensure that we have appropriate collateral to protect our interest in the related loan or lease. As a result of this practice, a significant portion of our outstanding balance of non-performing loans or leases either does not require additional specific reserves or requires only a minimal amount of required specific reserve, as we believe the loans and leases are adequately collateralized as of the measurement period. In addition, management is proactive in recording charge-offs to bring loans to their net realizable value in situations where it is determined with certainty that we will not recover the entire amount of our principal. This practice may lead to a lower allowance for loan and lease loss to non-accrual loans and leases ratio as compared to our peers or industry expectations. As asset quality continues to improve, our allowance for loan and lease loss is measured more through general characteristics, including historical loss experience, of our portfolio rather than through specific identification and we therefore expect to see this ratio continue to rise. Conversely, if we identify further impaired loans, this ratio could fall if the impaired loans are adequately collateralized and therefore require no specific or general reserve. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our allowance for loan and lease losses to total non-accrual loans and leases was 135.24% and 109.05%, respectively. Given our business practices and evaluation of our existing loan and lease portfolio, we believe this coverage ratio was appropriate for the probable losses inherent in our loan and lease portfolio as of June 30, 2013.

Specific reserves are established on impaired loans when evidence of a collateral shortfall exists and we believe that there continues to be potential for us to recover our outstanding principal. When we are certain that we will not recover our principal on a loan or lease, we record a charge-off for the amount to recognize the loan or lease at its net realizable value. We record the charge-off through our allowance for loan and lease losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded net charge-offs of $332,000 compared to recording net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2012 of $1.9 million. We continue to proactively monitor our loan and lease portfolio for further deterioration and apply our prescribed allowance for loan and lease loss reserve methodology. We believe our allowance for loan and lease loss reserve was recorded at the appropriate level at June 30, 2013. However, given ongoing complexities with current workout situations, the measured pace of improvement in economic conditions and continued declines in certain collateral values, further charge-offs and increased provisions for loan losses may be recorded if additional facts and circumstances lead us to a different conclusion. In addition, various federal and state regulatory agencies review the allowance for loan and lease losses. These agencies could require certain loan and lease balances to be classified differently or charged off when their credit evaluations differ from those of management, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Corporation expects to meet its liquidity needs through existing cash on hand, established cash flow sources, its third party senior line of credit, and dividends received from the Banks. While the Banks are subject to certain regulatory limitations regarding their ability to pay dividends to the Corporation, we do not believe that the Corporation will be adversely affected by these dividend limitations. The Corporation’s principal liquidity requirements at June 30, 2013 were the interest payments due on subordinated and junior subordinated notes. In April 2013, FBB declared a dividend in the amount of $2.0 million to the Corporation bringing 2013 year-to-date dividends to a total of $4.0 million. During 2012, FBB declared and paid dividends totaling $6.0 million. The capital ratios of the Corporation and its subsidiaries continue to meet all applicable regulatory capital adequacy requirements. The Corporation’s and the Banks’ respective Boards of Directors and management teams adhere to the appropriate regulatory guidelines on decisions which affect their capital positions, including but not limited to, decisions relating to the payment of dividends and increasing indebtedness.
The Banks maintain liquidity by obtaining funds from several sources. The Banks’ primary sources of funds are principal and interest repayments on loans receivable and mortgage-related securities, deposits and other borrowings, such as federal funds and FHLB advances. The scheduled payments of loans and mortgage-related securities are generally a predictable source of funds. Deposit flows and loan prepayments, however, are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
We view on-balance-sheet liquidity as a critical element to maintaining adequate liquidity to meet our cash and collateral obligations. We define our on-balance-sheet liquidity as the total of our short-term investments, our unencumbered securities available-for-sale and our unencumbered pledged loans. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our immediate on-balance-sheet liquidity was $306.6 million and $260.4 million, respectively. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Banks had $79.1 million and $53.1 million on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank, respectively. Any excess funds not used for loan funding or satisfying other cash obligations were maintained as part of our on-balance-sheet liquidity in our interest-bearing accounts with the Federal Reserve Bank, as we value the safety and soundness provided by the Federal Reserve Bank. We plan to utilize excess liquidity to fund loan and lease portfolio growth, pay down maturing debt, allow run off of maturing brokered certificates of deposit, or invest in securities to maintain adequate liquidity at an improved margin.
We had $452.0 million of outstanding brokered deposits at June 30, 2013, compared to $374.4 million of brokered deposits as of December 31, 2012, which represented 39.5% and 34.3%, respectively, of the ending balance of total deposits. We are committed to our continued efforts to raise in-market deposits and reduce our overall dependence on brokered certificates of deposit. However, brokered certificates of deposit are an efficient source of funding for the Banks and allow them to gather funds across a larger geographic base at price levels and maturities that are more attractive than single service deposits when required to raise a similar level of in-market deposits within a short time period. Access to such deposits allows us the flexibility to refrain from pursuing single service deposit relationships in markets that have experienced unfavorable pricing levels. In addition, the administrative costs associated with brokered certificates of deposit are considerably lower than those that would be incurred to administer a similar level of local deposits with a similar maturity structure. During the time frames necessary to accumulate brokered deposits in an orderly manner, we will use FHLB short-term advances to meet our temporary funding needs. The FHLB short-term advances will typically have terms of 1 week to 1 month to cover the overall expected funding demands.
Our in-market relationships remain stable; however, deposit balances associated with those relationships will fluctuate. We expect to establish new client relationships and continue marketing efforts aimed at increasing the balances in existing

clients’ deposit accounts. Nonetheless, we will likely continue to use brokered deposits to compensate for shortfalls in deposit gathering in specific maturity periods, typically three to five years, needed to effectively mitigate the interest rate risk measured through our asset/liability management process or in shorter-time periods if in-market deposit balances decline. In order to provide for ongoing liquidity and funding, all of our brokered deposits are certificates of deposit which do not allow for withdrawal at the option of the depositor before the stated maturity. The Banks’ liquidity policies limit the amount of brokered deposits to 75% of total deposits, with an operating goal of 50% or less of brokered deposits to total deposits. The Banks were in compliance with the policy limits and the operating goal as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
The Banks were able to access the brokered certificate of deposit market as needed at rates and terms comparable to market standards during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. In the event that there is a disruption in the availability of brokered deposits at maturity, the Banks have managed the maturity structure, in compliance with our approved liquidity policy, so at least one year of maturities could be funded through on-balance-sheet liquidity. These potential funding sources include deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank and borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank or Federal Reserve Discount Window utilizing currently unencumbered securities and acceptable loans as collateral. As of June 30, 2013, the available liquidity was in excess of the stated minimum and was equal to approximately 29 months of maturities. We believe the Banks will also have access to the unused federal funds lines, cash flows from borrower repayments, and cash flows from security maturities. The Banks also have the ability to raise local market deposits by offering attractive rates to generate the level required to fulfill their liquidity needs.
The Banks are required by federal regulation to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure safe and sound operations. We believe that the Banks have sufficient liquidity to match the balance of net withdrawable deposits and short-term borrowings in light of present economic conditions and deposit flows.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
There were no significant changes to the Corporation’s contractual obligations and off-balance arrangements disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. We continue to believe that we have adequate capital and liquidity available from various sources to fund projected contractual obligations and commitments.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest rate risk, or market risk, arises from exposure of our financial position to changes in interest rates. It is our strategy to reduce the impact of interest rate risk on net interest margin and net interest income by maintaining a favorable match between the maturities and repricing dates of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. This strategy is monitored by the Banks’ respective Asset/Liability Management Committees, in accordance with policies approved by the Banks’ respective Boards of Directors. These committees meet regularly to review the sensitivity of each Bank’s assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs and sources, and pricing and funding strategies.
We use two techniques to measure interest rate risk. The first is simulation of earnings in which the balance sheet is modeled as an ongoing entity whereby future growth, pricing, and funding assumptions are implemented and modeled under different rate scenarios. The second measurement technique used is static gap analysis. Gap analysis involves measurement of the difference in asset and liability repricing on a cumulative basis within a specified time frame. A positive gap indicates that more interest-earning assets than interest-bearing liabilities reprice/mature in a time frame and a negative gap indicates the opposite. In addition to the gap position, other determinants of net interest income are the shape of the yield curve, general rate levels, reinvestment spreads, balance sheet growth and mix and interest rate spreads. We manage the structure of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by adjusting their mix, yield, maturity and/or repricing characteristics based on market conditions. Currently, we do not employ any derivatives to assist in managing our interest rate risk exposure; however, management has the authorization and ability to utilize such instruments should they be appropriate to manage interest rate exposure.
The process of asset and liability management requires management to make a number of assumptions as to when an asset or liability will reprice or mature. Management believes that its assumptions approximate actual experience and considers them reasonable, although the actual amortization and repayment of assets and liabilities may vary substantially. Our economic sensitivity to changes in interest rates at June 30, 2013 has not changed materially since December 31, 2012.
