Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1.
Basis of Presentation

These are the unaudited consolidated financial statements of First Community Financial Partners, Inc. (the "Company" or "First Community"), and its subsidiaries, including its wholly owned bank subsidiary, First Community Financial Bank (the "Bank"), based in Plainfield, Illinois. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S GAAP”) and industry practice.  Certain information in footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and industry practice has been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2012 audited financial statements filed on Form 10-K.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.  These reclassifications did not result in any changes to previously reported net income or shareholders' equity.

New Accounting Pronouncements

ASC Topic 210 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.”  New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 210, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” amended prior guidance to require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The instruments and transactions would include derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. This new authoritative guidance was further amended to clarify the scope of offsetting disclosures.

ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income.”  New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income” amended prior guidance to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by requiring an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP.

Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure
 
The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933 for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, the Company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.


Note 2.
Consolidation

On August 27, 2012, the Company and the Banks (as defined below) executed Agreements and Plans of Merger to effect a consolidation of banking charters. The consolidation resulted in the merger of First Community Bank of Joliet ("FCB Joliet"), First Community Bank of Plainfield ("FCB Plainfield"), First Community Bank of Homer Glen and Lockport ("FCB Homer Glen") and Burr Ridge Bank and Trust ("Burr Ridge", and collectively with FCB Joliet, FCB Plainfield and Homer Glen, the "Banks") into one Illinois chartered banking institution wholly owned by the Company.


8



On March 12, 2013, the consolidation was completed and our financial results reflect the following:

The issuance of 4,000,537 shares of Company common stock to the minority stockholders of FCB Plainfield, FCB Homer Glen and Burr Ridge, each of which was merged into a bank wholly owned by First Community,
The cash payment of $508,000 to the restricted stock holders of FCB Plainfield, and
The issuance of the $10.0 million of subordinated indebtedness referenced below in Note 7.

The consolidation was accounted for as a purchase of noncontrolling interests among entities under common control for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, First Community's noncontrolling interests were reclassified to shareholders' equity and all assets and liabilities were recorded at historical cost.

The following summary pro forma results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 give effect to the consolidation as if it occurred on January 1, 2012. The pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily indicate the operating results of the combined companies had they actually been merged on January 1, 2012.

Prior to the consolidation, the Company, and the Banks had entered into an Affiliate Management Services Agreement. The Affiliate Management Services Agreement allowed for each entity to share in the costs and resources of such functions including, but not limited to, information technology, finance and accounting, human resources, risk management, and strategic development. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, $402,000 and $703,000, respectively, was paid by the Banks to the Company under the terms of the agreement.

The Company and the Banks had internal loan participation agreements prior to the consolidation, which totaled $79.2 million at December 31, 2012.

Note 3.
Earnings Per Share

Earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the two-class method. Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares determined for the basic earnings per common share computation plus the dilutive effect of stock compensation using the treasury stock method.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss)
per common share (amounts in thousands, except common share data).

Securities with a fair value of $41.9 million and $47.1 million were pledged as collateral on public funds, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and for other purposes as required or permitted by law as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities available for sale as of March 31, 2013, by contractual maturity are shown below (in thousands). Maturities may differ from contractual maturities in residential collateralized mortgage obligations and residential mortgage backed securities because the mortgages underlying the securities may be called or repaid without any penalties. Therefore, these securities are segregated in the following maturity summary:

There were no gross realized gains or losses on the sales of securities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

There were no securities with material unrealized losses existing longer than 12 months, and no securities with unrealized losses which management believes are other-than-temporarily impaired, at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The unrealized losses in the portfolio at March 31, 2013, resulted from fluctuations in market interest rates and not from deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuers. Because the Company does not intend to sell and does not believe it will be required to sell these securities until market price recovery or maturity, these investment securities are not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company's loan portfolio, management categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt and comply with various terms of their loan agreements. The Company considers current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends. Generally, all sizable credits receive a financial review no less than annually to monitor and adjust, if necessary, the credit's risk profile. Credits classified as watch generally receive a review more frequently than annually. For special mention, substandard, and doubtful credit classifications, the frequency of review is increased to no less than quarterly in order to determine potential impact on credit loss estimates.

The Company categorizes loans into the following risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt:

Pass - A pass asset is well protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the borrower (or guarantors, if any) or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral in a timely manner. Pass assets also include certain assets considered watch, which are still protected by the worth and paying capacity of the borrower but deserve closer attention and a higher level of credit monitoring.

Special Mention - A special mention asset, or risk rating of 5, has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company's credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard - A substandard asset, or risk rating of 6 or 7, is an asset with a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes

12



repayment, in whole or in part, of the debt. These credits are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. These assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will or has sustained some loss of principal and/or interest if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - An asset that has all the weaknesses, or risk rating of 8, inherent in the substandard classification, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. These credits have a high probability for loss, yet because certain important and reasonably specific pending factors may work toward the strengthening of the asset, its classification of loss is deferred until its more exact status can be determined.

Loss - An asset, or portion thereof, classified as loss, or risk rated 9, is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not necessarily mean that an asset has no recovery or salvage value but that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though a partial recovery may occur in the future. Therefore, there is no balance to report at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Residential 1-4 family, consumer and other loans are assessed for credit quality based on the contractual aging status of the loan and payment activity. In certain cases, based upon payment performance, the loan being related with another commercial type loan or for other reasons, a loan may be categorized into one of the risk categories noted above. Such assessment is completed at the end of each reporting period.

The following tables present the risk category of loans evaluated by internal asset classification based on the most recent analysis performed and the contractual aging as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

Troubled debt restructurings that were accruing were $11.5 million and $12.8 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Troubled debt restructurings that were non-accruing were $17.9 million and $19.8 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Of the troubled debt restructurings entered into during the past twelve months, none subsequently defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Performing troubled debt restructurings are considered to have defaulted when they become 90 days or more past due post restructuring or are placed on non-accrual status.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, brokered deposits amounted to $12.8 million and $16.6 million, respectively, which are included in other time deposit certificates.

The Company participates in a reciprocal deposit placement program that allows for the Company to take deposits from participating banks or for the Company to place deposits with those banks. The purpose of the deposit placement program is to allow customers to obtain Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC') insurance coverage for deposits at the Company that exceed $250,000. The Company had time deposits aggregating $7.0 million and $12.2 million in the reciprocal program at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. In addition, the Company had money market deposits aggregating $19.0 million and $19.8 million in the reciprocal program at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.


Note 7.
Subordinated Debt

In May 2009, the Company completed a private placement offering to individual accredited investors of (i) $5.0 million in common stock at $4.63 per share and (ii) $4.1 million of 8% Series A non-cumulative convertible preferred stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") with a purchase price and liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock was convertible to common stock at $10.00 per share on or after five years. Upon the termination of the Company's commitment not to incur any debt without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (the "Federal Reserve") in August 2009, each share of Series A Preferred Stock was, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, exchanged for Company subordinated notes in the same face amount as the shares for which they were exchanged. The holders of the notes are entitled to interest at 8% payable annually, and the notes will mature in 10 years. The notes are convertible to common stock at $10.00 per share on or after five years. The subordinated debt qualifies for regulatory capital treatment subject to certain limits as total capital of the Company at March 31, 2013. The outstanding balance at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $4.1 million.

On March 12, 2013, the Company completed a private placement offering of $10 million of subordinated indebtedness coupled with warrants to purchase in the aggregate 250,000 shares of Company common stock at a price of $4.00 per share (the “Private Placement”). These securities were offered in denominations of $10,000 per note evidencing the subordinated indebtedness along with a warrant to purchase 250 shares of Company common stock at $4.00 per share. The subordinated indebtedness and warrants were offered to accredited investors by the Company in an offering pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act of 1933. The subordinated indebtedness bears interest at an annual rate of 9.0%. Interest on the subordinated indebtedness has been accruing from the date of issuance and is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on March 31 and September 30 of each year. The subordinated indebtedness is not convertible into shares of common stock, preferred stock or other equity securities of the Company. The subordinated indebtedness is an unsecured subordinated obligation of the Company and will mature on the tenth anniversary from the date of the issuance. At any time on or after the second anniversary of the date of issuance of the subordinated indebtedness, the Company may redeem the subordinated indebtedness, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of such subordinated indebtedness redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of and to the date fixed for such redemption, provided, however, that any such redemption will require the prior approval of the Federal Reserve. The warrants will remain outstanding following any such redemption of the subordinated indebtedness, and will have a term of ten years from the date of issuance, whereafter they will expire. Proceeds from the sale of a the subordinated indebtedness with the warrants were allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the subordinated indebtedness without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the warrants was approximately $277,000 and accounted for as paid-in capital at estimated fair value. The remainder of the discount was allocated to the subordinated indebtedness as part of the transaction. The discount will be

20



accreted over the term of the warrants using the interest method. The outstanding balance net of the associated discount was $9.7 million at March 31, 2013.

A collateral pledge agreement exists whereby at all times, the Bank must keep on hand, free of all other pledges, liens, and encumbrances, first mortgage loans and home equity loans with unpaid principal balances aggregating no less than 133% for first mortgage loans and 200% for home equity loans of the outstanding secured advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago ("FHLB").  The Bank had $77.1 million and $31.0 million of loans pledged as collateral for FHLB advances as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  There were no advances outstanding at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The Bank has entered into collateral pledge agreements whereby the Bank pledges commercial, commercial real estate, agricultural and consumer loans to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago Discount Window which allows the Bank to borrow on a short term basis, typically overnight.  The Bank had $305.5 million and $198.0 million of loans pledged as collateral under these agreements as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. There were no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.


Note 9.
Stock Compensation Plans

The Company maintians the First Community Financial Partners, Inc. Amended and Restated 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan”) in 2008, which assumed and incorporated previously adopted plans and awards thereunder. The Equity Incentive Plan allows for the granting of awards including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, stock awards and cash incentive rewards. This plan was amended in December 2011 to increase the number of shares authorized for delivery by 1,000,000 shares. As a result, under this plan, 2,430,000 shares of Company common stock have been reserved for the granting of awards.

FCB Plainfield and FCB Homer Glen each adopted their own stock incentive plans in January 2009, and Burr Ridge adopted a stock incentive plan in October 2009 (collectively, the "Stock Incentive Plans"). The Stock Incentive Plans allowed for the granting of stock options. Under the FCB Plainfield and FCB Homer Glen plans, 225,000 shares of the adopting entity's

22



common stock were reserved for the granting of awards. Under the Burr Ridge plan, 470,000 shares of Burr Ridge common stock were reserved for the granting of awards.

As of the date of the consolidation, all outstanding awards under the Stock Incentive Plans were canceled, at which time all option holders were granted Company restricted stock units under the Equity Incentive Plan as replacement awards. The fair value of the stock options at the date of the merger agreements was used to determine the number of restricted stock units granted in order to equalize the fair value of the awards before and after the consolidation. As a result, there were no incremental compensation costs to be recognized.

For the Equity Incentive Plan, options are to be granted at the fair value of the stock at the date of the grant and generally vest at 33-1/3% as of the first anniversary of the grant date and an additional 33-1/3% as of each successive anniversary of the grant date. Options must be exercised within 10 years after the date of grant.

The following table summarizes data concerning stock options (aggregate intrinsic value in thousands):

The aggregate intrinsic value of a stock option in the table above represents the total pre-tax amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the price of the option that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2013. The intrinsic value will change when the market value of the Company's stock changes. The fair value (present value of the estimated future benefit to the option holder) of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Company recognized $5,000 in compensation expense related to the options for the period ended March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, there was no further compensation expense to be recognized related to outstanding stock options.

The Company also grants restricted stock units to select officers and directors within the organization under the Equity Incentive Plan, which entitle the holder to receive shares of Company common stock in the future, subject to certain terms, conditions and restrictions. Holders of restricted stock units are also entitled to receive additional units equal in value to any dividends paid with respect to the restricted stock units during the vesting period. Compensation expense for the restricted stock units equals the market price of the related stock at the date of grant and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

In 2012, FCB Plainfield granted 57,850 restricted stock units with a weighted-average grant-date per share fair value of $7.03, which vest over a three-year period. In 2013, as a part of the consolidation, 408,262 restricted stock units were granted with a weighted-average grant-date per share fair value of $3.97, and which vest over a two-year period, as replacement awards for the stock options which were canceled at the consolidation date. In addition, all restricted stock units granted as a part of the canceled FCB Plainfield 2012 Equity Incentive Plan were canceled at the date of consolidation and all holders were paid out in an equivalent amount of cash. The Company recognized compensation expense of $488,000 and $82,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, related to the Equity Incentive Plan, which included $385,000 in expense related to the canceled awards. Total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock grants was $493,000 as of March 31, 2013.

Note 10.
Concentrations, Commitments and Contingencies

Concentrations of credit risk: In addition to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk, the Company, to a certain extent, is exposed to varying risks associated with concentrations of credit. Concentrations of credit risk generally exist if a number of borrowers are engaged in similar activities and have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by economic or other conditions.

The Company conducts substantially all of its lending activities in Will, Grundy, DuPage, Cook and Kane counties in Illinois and their surrounding communities. Loans granted to businesses are primarily secured by business assets, investment real estate, owner-occupied real estate or personal assets of commercial borrowers. Loans to individuals are primarily secured by personal residences or other personal assets. Since the Company's borrowers and its loan collateral have geographic concentration in its primary market area, the Company could have exposure to declines in the local economy and real estate market. However, management believes that the diversity of its customer base and local economy, its knowledge of the local market, and its proximity to customers limits the risk of exposure to adverse economic conditions.


24



Credit related financial instruments: The Company is party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

A summary of the Company's commitments is as follows (in thousands):
 
March 31, 2013
December 31, 2012
Commitments to extend credit
$
94,349

$
90,368

Standby letters of credit
11,044

12,600

 
$
105,393

$
102,968


Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management's credit evaluation of the party.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and, generally, have terms of one year or less. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds collateral, which may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, income producing properties, supporting those commitments if deemed necessary. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount shown in the summary above. If the commitment were funded, the Company would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was $300,000 recorded as liabilities for the Company's potential obligations under these guarantees.

Contingencies: In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such pending proceedings would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


Note 11.
Capital and Regulatory Matters

Provisions of the Illinois banking laws place restrictions upon the amount of dividends that can be paid to the Company by the Bank. The availability of dividends may be further limited because of the need to maintain capital ratios satisfactory to applicable regulatory agencies.

The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's and Bank's financial results and condition. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies. In addition, the Bank remains subject to certain of the FDIC's de novo bank requirements until the Bank has been chartered for a period longer than seven years. Until October 28, 2015, the Bank is required, among other items, to obtain FDIC approval for any material change to its business plan and to maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of at least 8%.

On March 21, 2012, FCB Joliet entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the FDIC and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (the "IDFPR"). This memorandum is not a “written agreement” for purposes of Section 8

25



of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. The memorandum documents an understanding among FCB Joliet, the FDIC and the IDFPR, that, among other things, FCB Joliet will have and maintain its Tier 1 capital ratio at a minimum of 8% for the duration of the memorandum, and will maintain its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets at a minimum of 12% for the duration of the memorandum.

On April 18, 2012, FCB Homer Glen entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the FDIC and the IDFPR. This memorandum is not a “written agreement” for purposes of Section 8 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. The memorandum documents an understanding among FCB Homer Glen, the FDIC and the IDFPR, that, among other things, FCB Homer Glen will have and maintain its Tier 1 capital ratio at a minimum of 8.5% for the duration of the memorandum, and will maintain its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets at a minimum of 12.5% for the duration of the memorandum.

As part of its approval of the consolidation, the FDIC required that the Bank remain subject to these informal regulatory actions instituted at FCB Joliet and FCB Homer Glen.

Failure to comply with the terms of the memoranda could result in enforcement orders or penalties from our regulators, under the terms of which we could, among other things, become subject to restrictions on our ability to develop any new business, as well as restrictions on our existing business, and we could be required to raise additional capital, dispose of certain assets and liabilities within a prescribed period of time, or both. The terms of any such enforcement order or action could have a material adverse effect on us.

In addition, First Community is required to obtain prior written approval from the Federal Reserve prior to the declaration or payment of dividends by First Community, any increase in indebtedness of First Community or the redemption of First Community stock.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to average assets, each as defined in the applicable regulations. Management believes, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of March 31, 2013, the Bank was well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since March 31, 2013 that management believes have changed the Bank's category. Bank regulators can modify capital requirements as part of their examination process.

Under the Illinois Banking Act, Illinois-chartered banks generally may not pay dividends in excess of their net profits, after first deducting their losses (including any accumulated deficit) and provision for loan losses. The payment of dividends by any bank is affected by the requirement to maintain adequate capital pursuant to applicable capital adequacy guidelines and regulations, and a financial institution generally is prohibited from paying any dividends if, following payment thereof, the institution would be undercapitalized. Moreover, the FDIC prohibits the payment of any dividends by a bank if the FDIC determines such payment would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. In addition, the FDIC places restrictions on dividend payments during the first seven years of a new bank's operations, after which time allowing cash dividends to be paid only from net operating income and does not permit dividends to be paid until an appropriate allowance for loan and lease losses has been established and overall capital is adequate. There were no common share dividends paid during the three months ending ending March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 by the Company or the Bank.

Note 12.
Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.
 
ASC Topic 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert expected future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present value amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices 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.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Company's creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. Our valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company's valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company's monthly and/or quarterly valuation process.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
 
Securities Available for Sale: The fair value of the Company's securities available for sale are determined using Level 2 inputs from independent pricing services. Level 2 inputs consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spread, cash flows, treasury yield curve, trading levels, credit information and terms, among other factors. Certain state and political subdivision securities are not valued based on observable transactions and are, therefore, classified as Level 3.

Derivatives: The Bank provides clients with interest rate swap transactions and offset the transactions with interest rate swap transactions with another financial institution as a means of providing loan terms agreeable to both parties. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the
expected cash flows of each derivative and classified as Level 2. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including LIBOR rate curves.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands):

The significant unobservable inputs used in the Level 3 fair value measurements of the Company's state and political subdivisions in the table above primarily relate to the discounted cash flows including the bond's coupon, yield and expected maturity date.
 
The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company's policy for determining transfers between levels occurs at the end of the reporting period when circumstances in the underlying valuation criteria change and result in transfer between levels.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.

Impaired loans: Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or fair value.  Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans and is classified at a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  The fair value for an impaired loan is generally determined utilizing appraisals for real estate loans and value guides or consultants for commercial and industrial loans and other loans secured by items such as equipment, inventory, accounts receivable or vehicles. In substantially all instances, a 10% discount is utilized for selling costs which includes broker fees and closing costs. It is our general practice to obtain updated values on impaired loans every twelve to eighteen months. In instances where the appraisal is greater than one year old, an additional discount is considered ranging from 5% to 15%. Any adjustment is based on either comparisons from other recent appraisals obtained by the Company on like properties or using third party resources such as real estate brokers or Reis, Inc., a nationally recognized provider of commercial real estate information including real estate values.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, approximately $20.0 million or 51% and $23.5 million, or 58%, of impaired loans were evaluated for impairment using appraisals performed within the last twelve month period, respectively.

Foreclosed assets: Foreclosed assets upon initial recognition, are measured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the foreclosed asset. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property resulting in Level 3 classification. The appraised value is discounted by 10% for estimated selling costs which includes broker fees and closing costs and appraisals are obtained annually.
  
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet. Fair value is determined under the framework established by Fair Value Measurements, based upon criteria noted above. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value at the Company. The methodologies for measuring fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures of its other financial instruments:

Cash, due from banks and federal funds sold: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and due from banks and federal funds sold approximate their fair values.

Interest-bearing deposits in banks: The carrying amounts of interest-bearing deposits maturing within one year approximate their fair values.

Nonmarketable equity securities: These securities are either redeemable at par or current redemption values; therefore, market value equals cost.

Loans: For those variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for fixed rate and all other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for deposits with no defined maturities are equal to their carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand. The carrying amounts for variable-rate certificates of deposit approximate their fair value at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that

30



applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Subordinated debt: The fair values of the Company's subordinated debt are estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Other borrowed funds: The carrying amounts of securities sold under repurchase agreements and mortgage notes payable approximate their fair values.

Accrued interest receivable and payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.

Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for the Company's off-balance-sheet lending commitments (standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit) are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining term of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The fair value of these commitments is not material.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Derivative contracts entered into by the Bank are limited to those that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The Bank provides clients with interest rate swap transactions and offset the transactions with interest rate swap transactions with another financial institution as a means of providing loan terms agreeable to both parties. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $7.5 million outstanding notional values of swaps where the Bank receives a fixed rate of interest and the client receives a floating rate of interest. This is offset with counterparty contracts where the Bank pays a fixed rate and receives a floating rate of interest. The net estimated fair value of interest rate swaps was immaterial as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Banks did not record income directly pertaining to interest rate swaps during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Note 14.
Preferred Stock

In December 2009, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program of the United States Treasury (“Treasury”), the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with Treasury, pursuant to which the Company (i) sold to Treasury 22,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (“Series B Preferred Stock”), at $1,000 per share, or $22 million in the aggregate, and (ii) issued to Treasury warrants to purchase Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C (“Series C Preferred Stock”), with a liquidation amount equal to 5% of the Treasury's investment in Series B Preferred Stock or $1.1 million.  The warrants were immediately exercised for 1,100 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and are being accreted over an estimated life of five years. The Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock qualify as Tier 1 capital. 

On July 23, 2012, Treasury announced its intentions to auction the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock. On July 26, 2012, Treasury announced that all of First Community's 1,100 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were priced and sold to one or more third parties at $661.50 per share, for an aggregate total of $727,650. Treasury did not proceed with the sale of Series B Preferred Stock in First Community due to the fact that Treasury did not receive sufficient bids above the minimum bid price in accordance with the auction procedures. The book value of the Series C Preferred Stock was $727,000 at March 31, 2013 and dividends are paid quarterly at an annual rate of 9.0%.


32



On September 10, 2012, Treasury announced its intentions to again auction the Series B Preferred Stock. On September 13, 2012, Treasury announced that all 22,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were priced and sold to one or more third parties at $652.50 per share, for an aggregate total of $14.4 million.  Dividends are paid quarterly at an annual rate of 5.0% until February 15, 2015, at which time the annual rate will increase to 9.0%. None of the remaining shares of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock are held by Treasury.

On November 21, 2012, First Community entered into a TARP Securities Purchase Option Agreement, dated as of November 8, 2012, with certain of the current holders of the Series B Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the TARP Securities Option Agreement, First Community has the option, but is not required, to redeem from such certain holders their shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a discount. $16,824,000 face amount, or 16,824 shares, of Series B preferred stock are subject to the discount option. The TARP Securities Purchase Option Agreement provides that First Community can achieve a discount upon redemption between 18.5% and 31% from the $1,000 per share face value of the Series B Preferred Stock if such shares are redeemed, in whole or in part, before September 13, 2014. The available percentage discount is 31% through March 13, 2013, 27.139% from March 14, 2013 through September 12, 2013, 23% from September 13, 2013 through March 13, 2014, and 18.5% from March 14, 2014 through September 13, 2014. If any shares subject to the TARP Securities Purchase Option Agreement are redeemed following September 13, 2014, the agreement does not provide for a discount.

The Series C Preferred Stock may not be redeemed until all Series B Preferred Stock has been redeemed.  All redemptions are subject to the approval of the Company's federal banking regulatory agency.

On March 12, 2013, the Company repurchased 9,500 shares, or $9.5 million, of its Series B Preferred Stock at $690.00 per share. The total cost of redeeming these shares was approximately $6.6 million which included accrued and unpaid dividends earned on the shares through the date of repurchase. A gain on retirement of preferred stock of $2.9 million was recorded through accumulated deficit.

Results of Operations

Overview

Highlighted operational data includes:

Return on average assets was 0.49% for the first quarter of 2013, compared with 0.22% for the fourth quarter 2012.
Return on average common equity for the first quarter of 2013 was 4.93%, compared with 2.25% for the fourth quarter of 2012.
Book value per common share increased $0.16 to $4.30 per common share at March 31, 2013, compared to $4.14 at December 31, 2012.
Non-performing loans to total loans increased to 4.85% at March 31, 2013, compared with 4.39% at December 31, 2012.

34



The provision for loan losses decreased to $1.2 million for the first quarter 2013 from $1.5 million for the fourth quarter 2012.
The total risk-based capital ratio increased to 15.33% at March 31, 2013, compared with 14.46% at December 31, 2012, reflecting a strengthened capital position.
Loans grew by $6.2 million during the first quarter 2013.
    
The Company had net income of $1.4 million and net income available to common stockholders of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to a net income of $187,000 and a net loss available to common stockholders of $167,000 for the same period in 2012.  The increase in net income was primarily due to a lower provision for loan losses of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2012, as a result of improved asset quality. See the "Allowance for Loan Losses" section below for further analysis. Net interest income was $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $362,000, or 4.68%, from $7.7 million for the comparable period in 2012, primarily related to the decrease in interest income on loans.  There was a decrease in yields on earning assets of 0.57% from the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 2013, which was the result of loans repricing at lower rates in line with the current market. This was partially offset by a 0.48% decrease in yields on interest bearing liabilities as well as a decrease in interest bearing liabilities of $23.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 2013, as a result of the roll off of higher priced CDs along with the repricing of others at lower market rates.  See "Net Interest Income" section below for further analysis.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the largest component of our income, and is affected by the interest rate environment and the volume and the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Our interest-earning assets include loans, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, investment securities, and federal funds sold. Our interest-bearing liabilities include deposits, advances from the FHLB, subordinated debentures, repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings.
The following table reflects the components of net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

Net interest income was $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $362,000, or 4.7%, from $7.7 million for the prior year. The net interest margin was 3.44% for this period in 2013 and 3.60% for 2012. The net interest income and margin decrease from the prior year was due to a decrease in our loan yields partially offset by an improvement in our average cost of funds as a result of an improved deposit mix and downward repricing of interest bearing deposits. Interest expense improved in 2013 as certificates of deposits were either not renewed or repriced at lower rates.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2012. Net charge-offs increased to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was due to tax planning prior to the consolidation of the Banks. Loans past due 30 to 90 days and still accruing increased by $5.9 million, from $3.8 million at December 31, 2012 to $9.7 million at March 31, 2013. We noted some increase in non-performing loans as there was an increase of $3.2 million, or 11.34% during the first three months of 2013.

37





Non-interest Income
    
Non-interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 increased from the same period in 2012. Increases in loan sale and mortgage fee income contributed to higher non-interest income in 2013. In 2013, the Bank explored options with the SBA and was able to generate additional income related to loan sales with them. In addition, the mortgage operation which started in late 2011 increased volumes significantly during 2012 and 2013 which also helped to generate fee income.

Income Taxes
    
Prior to the consolidation, the Company filed four tax returns, one consolidated return for the parent and FCB Joliet and one for each other banking subsidiary. Because of multiple returns, we separately calculated income tax expense, established deferred tax assets and determined valuation allowances.   Subsequent to the consolidation, the Company now calculates income tax expense on a consolidated basis.           

Since 2008, we have maintained either a full or partial valuation allowance on deferred tax assets because we concluded that, based upon the weight of all available evidence, it was “more likely than not” that not all of the deferred tax assets would be realized.
    
The Company had an income tax expense of $34,000 for the first quarter of 2013 compared with $171,000 for the same period in 2012. The income tax expense was related to the income taxes for Burr Ridge which showed taxable income and no longer had a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset prior to the merger. The decline in income taxes for the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 is a result of the new tax structure and the net operating losses of the consolidated entity, while prior year tax expenses related to the individual Banks and reflected their differing tax positions.

38





Financial Condition
Our assets totaled $867.5 million and $902.6 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Total loans at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $643.6 million and $637.4 million, respectively. Total deposits were $747.8 million and $780.7 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We continue to see decreases in certificate of deposit accounts as we have continued to lower our rates in an effort to lower our overall cost of funding. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to decreases in cash on hand related to decreases in deposits from year-end. Borrowed funds, consisting of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and a mortgage note payable, totaled $19.8 million and $25.7 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The decrease in other borrowed funds during 2013 relates to decreases in securities sold under agreements to repurchase during the quarter as a one of our larger municipal clients decreased its balances in these accounts. In addition, $10 million in subordinated debt was raised during the period ended March 31, 2013.
Total shareholders’ equity was $82.8 million and $87.9 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 Total loans increased by $6.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. This change was the result of new loans made during the first quarter of 2013. There were approximately $31.2 million in nonperforming loans at March 31, 2013 which is up from $27.9 million at December 31, 2012.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Management reviews the level of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The methodology used to assess the adequacy of the allowance includes the allocation of specific and general reserves. The specific component relates to loans that are impaired. For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the collateral value, discounted cash flows or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. These qualitative factors include local economic trends, concentrations, management experience, and other elements of the Company's lending operations.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses was $21.9 million and $22.9 million, respectively, with a resulting allowance to total loans ratio of 3.41% and 3.59%. Net charge-offs amounted to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2012. Charge-offs and recoveries for

Impaired Loans
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining the impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.
Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case by case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis either the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the loan's obtainable market price due to financial difficulties of the borrower.
Residential 1-4 family and consumer loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.
Impaired loans were $42.6 million and $40.2 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Included in impaired loans at March 31, 2013 were $1.7 million in loans with valuation allowances totaling $915,000, and $41.6 million in loans without a valuation allowance. Included in impaired loans at December 31, 2012 were $5.0 million in loans with valuation allowances totaling $1.3 million, and $35.2 million in loans without a valuation allowance. During the first quarter of 2013, impaired loans increased due to the deterioration in credit quality related to three specific relationships which were moved to non accrual during the period.
The following presents the recorded investment in nonaccrual loans and loans past due over 90 days and still accruing as of:

We define potential problem loans as loans rated substandard which are still accruing interest.  We do not necessarily expect to realize losses on all potential problem loans, but we recognize potential problem loans carry a higher probability of default and require additional attention by management.  The aggregate principal amounts of potential problem loans as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were approximately $17.3 million and $15.1 million, respectively.  Management believes it has established an adequate allowance for probable loan losses as appropriate under U.S. GAAP.
Investment Securities
Investment securities serve to enhance the overall yield on interest earning assets while supporting interest rate sensitivity and liquidity positions, and as collateral on public funds and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. All securities are classified as available for sale as the Company intends to hold the securities for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Securities available for sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income, net of the related deferred tax effect. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.

Total deposits decreased $32.8 million to $747.8 million at March 31, 2013, from $780.7 million at December 31, 2012. The decreases related to the following: (i) a commercial client removing deposits, which were deposited temporarily upon the sale of a business, of approximately $26.0 million during the first three months of 2013, (ii) the decrease in time deposit certificates of $15.4 million as we continued to lower our time deposit rates and focus on core funding sources, and (iii) the repurchase of our Series B Preferred Stock totaling $6.5 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our goal in liquidity management is to satisfy the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers as well as our operating cash needs with cost-effective funding. Our Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Policy in order to achieve and maintain earnings performance consistent with long-term goals while maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate risk, a "well-capitalized" balance sheet, and adequate levels of liquidity. This policy designates the Bank's Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO") as the body responsible for meeting these objectives. The ALCO, which includes members of management, reviews liquidity on a periodic basis and approves significant changes in strategies that affect balance sheet or cash flow positions.


42



Overall deposit levels are monitored on a constant basis as are liquidity policy levels. Primary sources of liquidity include cash and due from banks, short-term investments such as federal funds sold, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and our investment portfolio, which can also be used as collateral on public funds. Alternative sources of funds include unsecured federal funds lines of credit through correspondent banks, brokered deposits, and FHLB advances. The Bank has established contingency plans in the event of extraordinary fluctuations in cash resources.

Provisions of the Illinois banking laws place restrictions upon the amount of dividends that can be paid to the Company by the Bank. The availability of dividends may be further limited because of the need to maintain capital ratios satisfactory to applicable regulatory agencies.

The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's and Bank's financial results and condition. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to average assets, each as defined in the applicable regulations. Management believes, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of March 31, 2013, the Bank was well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since March 31, 2013 that management believes have changed the Bank's category. Bank regulators can modify capital requirements as part of their examination process.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
The Company is party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customer. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Our off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations are summarized in the table that follows for the periods noted.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. When establishing the allowance for loan losses, management categorizes loans into risk categories generally based on the nature of the collateral and the basis of repayment.
    
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses, and may require the Company to recognize adjustments to its allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examinations.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful or substandard. For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the collateral value, discounted cash flows or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers nonclassified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. These qualitative factors consider local economic trends, concentrations, management experience, and other elements of the Company’s lending operations.
Foreclosed Assets
Assets acquired through loan foreclosure or other proceedings are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, foreclosed assets are held for sale and are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs of disposal. Any valuation adjustments required at the date of transfer are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequently, unrealized losses and realized gains and losses on sales are included in other noninterest income. Operating results from foreclosed assets are recorded in other noninterest expense.
Income taxes
Deferred taxes are provided using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The Company has adopted the accounting guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company and there are no uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized or sustained upon examination. The term more-likely-than-not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
