Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2007, and the results of operations for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

The results for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2007 may not be indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2007, or for any other period.

2. Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

In the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits in banks.

3. Income Taxes

Federal income tax expense for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was computed using the consolidated effective federal tax rate. The Company also recognized income tax expense pertaining to state franchise taxes payable individually by the subsidiary bank. On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The evaluation was performed for those tax years which remain open to audit. The Company files a consolidated tax return for federal purposes. A consolidated tax return for the state of Iowa is filed for the parent company and non-bank subsidiaries. A separate Iowa franchise tax return is filed for the bank subsidiary. The tax years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. For state tax purposes, the tax years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, remain open for examination. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company did not recognize any increase or decrease for unrecognized tax benefits. There were no material unrecognized tax benefits on January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2007. No interest or penalties on these unrecognized tax benefits has been recorded. As of June 30, 2007, the Company does not anticipate any significant increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.

4. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share computations are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock actually outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share amounts are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and all dilutive potential shares outstanding during the period. The following table presents the computation of earnings per common share for the respective periods:

5. Effect of New Financial Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. It does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” was ratified. This EITF Issue addresses accounting for separate agreements that split life insurance policy benefits between an employer and employee. The Issue requires the employer to recognize a liability for future benefits payable to the employee under these agreements. The effects of applying this Issue must be recognized through either a change in accounting principle through an adjustment to equity or through the retrospective application to all prior periods. The Issue is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of the Issue to have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 allows companies to elect fair-value measurement of specified financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts when an eligible asset or liability is initially recognized or when an event, such as a business combination, triggers a new basis of accounting for that asset or liability. The election, called the “fair value option,” will enable some companies to reduce the volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. The election is available for eligible assets or liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis without electing it for identical assets or liabilities under certain restrictions. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

6. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A significant estimate that is particularly sensitive to change is the allowance for loan losses.

7. Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year consolidated financial statements in order to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications consist of expanding the noninterest income categories on the income statement to present separately bank-owned life insurance income.

PART I — Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

OVERVIEW

The following discussion is provided for the consolidated operations of MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. (“Company”), which includes its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, MidWestOne Bank (“Bank”), its wholly-owned insurance agency, Cook & Son Agency, Inc. (“Cook & Son”) and its wholly-owned investment brokerage subsidiary, MidWestOne Investment Services, Inc. (“MWI”). The discussion focuses on the consolidated results of operations for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same periods in 2006, and on the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED June 30, 2007

The Company earned net income of $1,788,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared with $1,655,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $133,000 or 8 percent. The increase in net income was primarily due to greater net interest income and lower noninterest expense. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $.48 versus $.44 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The Company’s return on average assets was .96 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The Company’s return on average equity increased to 11.37 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with 11.02 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

The following table presents selected financial results and measures for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is computed by subtracting total interest expense from total interest income. Fluctuations in net interest income can result from the changes in the volumes of assets and liabilities as well as changes in interest rates. The Company’s net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 increased $221,000 or 4 percent to $6,419,000 from $6,198,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Total interest income was $1,667,000 greater in the second quarter of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006. Interest income excluding loan pool participations was $1,549,000, or 17 percent greater in the second quarter of 2007 in comparison with the quarter ended June 30, 2006 due to an increase in the volume of loans and higher yields on loans and investment securities. Interest income and discount recovery on loan pool participations was $118,000 greater in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 as a result of higher collections. The increase in interest income was partially offset by increased interest expense on deposits. Total interest expense for the second quarter of 2007 increased $1,446,000 or 29 percent compared with the same period in 2006 due to increased volumes and a higher cost of funds, reflecting the interest rate environment. The Company’s net interest margin on a federal tax-equivalent basis for the second quarter of 2007 decreased to 3.83 percent from 3.98 percent in the second quarter of 2006. Net interest margin is a measure of the net return on interest-earning assets and is computed by dividing annualized net interest income by the average of total interest-earning assets for the period. The Company’s overall yield on earning assets improved to 7.56 percent for the second quarter of 2007 compared with 7.12 percent for the second quarter of 2006. The rate on interest-bearing liabilities increased in the second quarter of 2007 to 4.14 percent compared to 3.48 percent for the second quarter of 2006.

The following table presents a comparison of the average balance of earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, tax equivalent interest income and expense, and tax equivalent average yields and costs for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Interest income and fees on loans increased $1,370,000 or 17 percent in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Average loans were $51,660,000 or 11 percent higher in the second quarter of 2007 compared with 2006, which contributed to the growth in interest income. The increase in loan volume reflects new loan originations primarily in the Cedar Falls/Waterloo and Davenport, Iowa markets. Higher interest rates in the second quarter of 2007 compared with 2006 also contributed to the additional interest income generated in 2007. The average yield on loans increased to 7.45 percent for the second quarter of 2007, compared to 7.10 percent in the second quarter of 2006. The yield on the Company’s loan portfolio is affected by the amount of nonaccrual loans (which do not earn interest income), the mix of the portfolio (real estate loans generally have a lower overall yield than commercial and agricultural loans), the effects of competition and the interest rate environment on the amounts and volumes of new loan originations, and the mix of variable rate versus fixed rate loans in the Company’s portfolio. Additionally, many of the borrowers have refinanced their real estate mortgages outside the Company to take advantage of long-term fixed-rate loans. The Company has typically not retained long-term fixed-rate loans in its portfolio in order to reduce interest rate risk. Competition in the local markets served by the Company has caused the pricing of new and many existing loans to be at or near the national prime rate.

Interest and discount income on loan pool participations increased $118,000 or 5 percent in the second quarter of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006. Interest income and discount collected on the loan pool participations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $2,301,000 compared with $2,183,000 collected in the three months ended June 30, 2006. The yield on loan pool participations was 10.88 percent for the second quarter of 2007 compared with 9.73 percent for the second quarter of 2006. The average loan pool participation investment balance was $5,166,000 lower in the second quarter of 2007 than in the same period of 2006. The loan pool participations are pools of performing and distressed and nonperforming loans that the Company has purchased at a discount from the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the underlying loans. Income is derived from this investment in the form of interest collected and the repayment of the principal in excess of the purchase cost which is herein referred to as “discount recovery.” The loan pool participations have traditionally been a high-yield activity for the Company, but this yield has fluctuated from period to period based on the amount of cash collections, discount recovery, and net collection expenses of the servicer in any given period. The income and yield on loan pool participations may vary in future periods due to the volume and discount rate on loan pools purchased. The Company adopted SOP 03-3 on January 1, 2005. All loans that the Company had purchased prior to January 1, 2005 continue to utilize the cash basis for recognition of interest income and discount recovery. The loan pool participations purchased subsequent to January 1, 2005 that are subject to the “accretable yield” income recognition requirements of SOP 03-3 have not generated amounts of income significantly greater than what would have been recognized under the cash basis. Loan pool participations that are not subject to the “accretable yield” requirements also utilize the cash basis for recognition of interest income and discount recovery.

Interest income on investment securities increased $125,000 or 16 percent in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2006 mainly due to higher yields on securities in the portfolio. Interest income on investment securities totaled $910,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared with $785,000 for the second quarter of 2006. An increase in the average balance of the investment portfolio also contributed additional interest income. The average balance of investments in the second quarter of 2007 was $84,839,000 compared with $81,355,000 in the second quarter of 2006. The tax-equivalent yield on the Company’s investment portfolio in the second quarter of 2007 increased to 5.07 percent from 4.39 percent in the comparable period of 2006 reflecting reinvestment of maturing securities at higher market interest rates.

Interest expense on deposits was $1,468,000 or 42 percent greater in the second quarter of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006 mainly due to higher market interest rates and increased deposit volumes. The weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 3.84 percent in the second quarter of 2007 compared with 3.03 percent in the second quarter of 2006. Average interest-bearing deposits for the second quarter of 2007 were $55,098,000 greater compared with the same period in 2006. The Company has noted higher market rates and has increased the rates it pays on deposit accounts in response to the competition. The Company’s goal has been to pay a competitive rate on deposits in all markets it serves.

Interest expense on borrowed funds was $22,000 lower in the second quarter of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006. Interest on borrowed funds totaled $1,518,000 for the second quarter of 2007. The Company’s average borrowed funds balances were lower in the second quarter of 2007 resulting in reduced interest expense. Higher market interest rates in 2007 compared with 2006 partially offset the interest reduction from the lower balances. Average borrowed funds for the second quarter of 2007 were $7,215,000 lower compared to the same period in 2006. The weighted average rate paid on borrowed funds increased to 5.55 percent in the second quarter of 2007 compared with 5.28 percent in the second quarter of 2006.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $179,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared with zero provision in the second quarter of 2006. No provision for the second quarter of 2006 was necessary due to the recovery of $901,000 from a previously charged off agricultural loan credited to the reserve in January 2006. Net loans charged off in the second quarter of 2007 totaled $196,000 compared with net charge-offs of $114,000 in the second quarter of 2006. The provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2007 reflected the continued growth in the loan portfolio. Management determines an appropriate provision based on its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in relationship to a continuing review of problem loans, the current economic conditions, actual loss experience and industry trends. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on the inherent risk in the portfolio as of June 30, 2007; however, growth in the loan portfolio and the uncertainty of the general economy require that management continue to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and make additional provisions in future periods as deemed necessary.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income results from the charges and fees collected by the Company from its customers for various services performed, data processing income received from nonaffiliated banks, miscellaneous other income, and gains (or losses) from the sale of investment securities held in the available for sale category. Total noninterest income was $72,000 or 4 percent lower in the second quarter of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $32,000 or 5 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to reduced non-sufficient funds charges collected on deposit account overdrafts. Other customer service charges and fees increased $46,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared with the same period of 2006 primarily due to higher ATM fees as a result of increased customer transaction volume. Brokerage commissions decreased $134,000 to $154,000 for the second quarter of 2007 due to reduced sales of securities to clients. Insurance commissions were $183,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared with $237,000 in the second quarter of 2006 reflecting lower credit life and accident & health policy sales to bank loan customers and reduced property & casualty insurance premium volume. Loan origination fees on single-family real estate loans that were originated by the Company and sold servicing-released to the secondary market increased to $189,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $142,000 for the second quarter of 2006 due to increased origination activity. Recognized available for sale investment security gains totaled $49,000 in the second quarter of 2007. There were no security gains or losses recognized in the second quarter of 2006.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $53,000 lower compared to noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2007 was $5,262,000 and includes all the costs incurred to operate the Company except for interest expense, the loan loss provision and income taxes. Salaries and benefits expense for the second quarter of 2007 was $30,000 or 1 percent higher compared with the same period in 2006. The increase was attributable to annual compensation adjustments and increased benefit costs. The Company had 221 full-time equivalent employees on June 30, 2007, which is the same as on June 30, 2006. Occupancy expense increased $24,000 reflecting higher building maintenance costs and property taxes. Professional fees increased $104,000 in the second quarter of 2007 due to increased legal fees, regulatory fees and costs associated with development and implementation of the Company’s Sarbanes-Oxley initiative. Other operating expenses decreased $178,000 or 16 percent in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 with much of the reduction related to lower marketing expenses and reduced losses from fraudulent customer scams that occurred in the second quarter of 2006.

Income Tax Expense

The Company incurred income tax expense of $720,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared with $830,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The effective income tax rate as a percent of income before taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 28.7 percent and 33.4 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate varies from the statutory rate due to state taxes and the amount of tax-exempt income on municipal bonds earned during the period. Tax-exempt income on municipal bonds is greater in comparison to previous periods as the market yields on newly-purchased bonds has increased and the Company has a higher volume of municipal bonds.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”). Implementation of FIN 48 did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.

SIX MONTHS ENDED June 30, 2007

The Company earned net income of $2,762,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with $3,574,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $812,000 or 23 percent. The decrease in net income was primarily due to reduced net interest income, higher provision for loan losses and increased noninterest expense. On January 6, 2006, the Company received the proceeds from the recovery of an agricultural loan that had been charged off in 2001. These proceeds included a loan principal recovery of $901,000 that was credited to the allowance for loan losses, $364,000 in interest that was recorded to interest income on loans and $50,000 credited to other loan income for the reimbursement of attorney fees incurred by the Company in 2001. The interest income and fees recovered contributed $.08 per share basic and diluted to the Company’s earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2006. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $.75 and $.74, respectively. This compares with basic and diluted earnings per share of $.96 and $.95, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The Company’s return on average assets was .75 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 1.06 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The Company’s return on average equity was 8.86 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with 12.06 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

The following table presents selected financial results and measures for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Total interest income was $2,633,000 greater in the first six months of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006. Interest income excluding loan pool participations was $3,109,000, or 18 percent greater in the first six months of 2007 in comparison with the six months ended June 30, 2006 due primarily to an increase in the volume of loans and higher yields on loans and investment securities. Interest income and discount recovery on loan pool participations was $476,000 lower in the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006 as a result of lower collections. The increase in interest income was offset by increased interest expense. Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30,2007 increased $3,256,000 or 34 percent compared with the same period in 2006 due to increased volumes and a higher cost of funds, reflecting the interest rate environment. The Company’s net interest margin on a federal tax-equivalent basis for the first six months of 2007 decreased to 3.72 percent from 4.25 percent in the first six months of 2006. The Company’s overall yield on earning assets increased to 7.43 percent for the first six months of 2007 compared with 7.29 percent for the first six months of 2006. The rate on interest-bearing liabilities increased in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to 4.12 percent compared to 3.39 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

This recovery was not repeated in the first six months of 2007. Average loans were $60,077,000 or 13 percent higher in the first six months of 2007 compared with 2006, which contributed to the growth in interest income. The increase in loan volume reflects new loan originations primarily in the Cedar Falls/Waterloo and Davenport, Iowa markets. Higher interest rates in the first six months of 2007 compared with 2006 also contributed to the additional interest income generated in 2007. The average yield on loans increased to 7.46 percent for the first six months of 2007, compared to 7.19 percent in the first six months of 2006.

Interest and discount income on loan pool participations decreased $476,000 or 10 percent in the first six months of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006.

Interest income on investment securities increased $226,000 or 14 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006 mainly due to higher yields on securities in the portfolio. Interest income on investment securities totaled $1,796,000 in the first six months of 2007 compared with $1,570,000 for the first six months of 2006. An increase in the average balance of the investment portfolio also contributed additional interest income. The average balance of investments for the first six months of 2007 was $84,451,000 compared with $81,906,000 for the first six months of 2006. The tax-equivalent yield on the Company’s investment portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased to 5.03 percent from 4.36 percent in the comparable period of 2006 reflecting reinvestment of maturing securities at higher market interest rates.

Interest expense on deposits totaled $9,641,000 for the first six months of 2007 compared to $6,629,000 for the first six months of 2006. Interest expense was $3,012,000 or 45 percent greater in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the same period in 2006 mainly due to higher market interest rates and increased deposit volumes.

Average interest-bearing deposits for the first six months of 2007 were $55,444,000 greater compared with the same period in 2006.

The Company’s average borrowed funds balances were $2,951,000 higher in the six months ended June 30,2007 resulting in additional interest expense. Higher market interest rates in 2007 compared with 2006 also contributed to additional interest expense in the first six months of 2007. Average borrowed funds for the first six months of 2007 were $113,762,000 compared with $110,811,000 for the same period in 2006.

Excluding investment security gains and losses, noninterest income decreased $153,000 or 5 percent in the first six months of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $73,000 or 7 percent for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to reduced non-sufficient funds charges collected on deposit account overdrafts. Other customer service charges and fees increased $83,000 in the first six months of 2007 compared with the same period of 2006 primarily due to higher ATM fees as a result of increased customer transaction volume. Brokerage commissions decreased $112,000 to $427,000 for the first six months of 2007 due to reduced sales of securities to clients. Insurance commissions were $387,000 for the first six months of 2007 compared with $385,000 in the first six months of 2006. Data processing income from outside banks increased $10,000 reflecting increased transaction volumes and higher pricing. Mortgage loan origination fees on single-family real estate loans that were originated by the Company and sold servicing-released to the secondary market increased $67,000 in the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006 due to increased origination activity. Other operating income declined $139,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 primarily due to the reimbursement of attorney fees related to the charge-off recovery in the first quarter of 2006. Recognized available for sale investment security gains totaled $49,000 in the first six months of 2007 compared with a loss on the sale of investment securities of $126,000 in the first six months of 2006.

Noninterest expense increased $308,000 or 3 percent for the first six months of 2007 compared to 2006. Salaries and benefits expense for the first six months of 2007 was $336,000 or 5 percent higher compared with the same period in 2006. The increase was attributable to additional number of employees, annual compensation adjustments and increased benefit costs. The Company had an average of 220 full-time equivalent employees for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with an average of 216 full-time equivalent employees for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Professional fees increased $226,000 in the first six months of 2007 due to increased legal fees, regulatory fees and costs associated with development and implementation of the Company’s Sarbanes-Oxley initiative. Other operating expenses decreased $202,000 or 10 percent in the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006 with much of the reduction related to lower marketing expenses and reduced losses from fraudulent customer scams that occurred in the first six months of 2006.

Income Tax Expense

The Company incurred income tax expense of $1,133,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with $1,806,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The effective income tax rate as a percent of income before taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 29.1 percent and 33.6 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate varies from the statutory rate due to state taxes and the amount of tax-exempt income on municipal bonds earned during the period. Tax-exempt income on municipal bonds is greater in comparison to previous periods as the market yields on newly-purchased bonds has increased and the Company has a higher volume of municipal bonds.

The proceeds from paydown in the loan pool participations were utilized to purchase additional investment securities. Investment securities classified as held to maturity declined to $11,137,000 as of June 30, 2007, compared with $12,220,000 on December 31, 2006 as the proceeds from maturing bonds were reinvested in available for sale securities.

Loans

Total loans were $523,975,000 as of June 30, 2007, compared with $503,832,000 as of December 31, 2006, an increase of $20,413,000 or 4 percent. Much of the growth in the first six months of 2007 came from commercial, agricultural operating, agricultural real estate and commercial real estate loans.

Exceptions to the guideline have been noted but the overall exposure is deemed minimal by management. Mortgages originated by the Company and sold on the secondary market are typically underwritten according to the guidelines of the secondary market investors. These mortgages are on a non-recourse basis, thereby eliminating any subprime exposure.

Loan Pool Participations

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had loan pool participations of $77,343,000, a decrease of $21,542,000 or 22 percent from the December 31, 2006 balance of $98,885,000. The decrease in the loan pool participations is the result of collections of loan pool participations during the period. The loan pool investment balance shown as an asset on the Company’s Statement of Condition represents the discounted purchase cost of the loan pool participations. The average loan pool participation balance of $90,450,000 for the first six months of 2007 was $2,719,000 lower than the average balance of $93,169,000 for the first six months of 2006.

The Company has very minimal exposure in loan pools to consumer real estate subprime credit. Most of the basis in loans identified with borrowers or guarantors having credit scores categorized as subprime relates to additional collateral taken to reduce exposure on commercial or commercial real estate loans. The Company does not actively seek to purchase consumer or consumer real estate loans characterized as subprime credit.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Certificates of deposit remain the largest category of deposits at June 30, 2007 representing approximately 61 percent of total deposits. Based on historical experience, management anticipates that many of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed upon maturity. Maintaining competitive market interest rates will facilitate the Company’s retention of certificates of deposit.

From December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007, the Company’s nonaccrual loans increased $626,000, with most of the increase attributable to an assisted-living facility and a parcel of agricultural land that were classified nonaccrual. Loans ninety days past due decreased $609,000. Troubled debt restructurings decreased $4,000 from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Other real estate owned increased $236,000 in the first six months of 2007 following foreclosure on three residential real estate properties and a bowling alley. The Company’s allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2007 was $5,869,000, which was 1.12 percent of total loans as of that date. This compares with an allowance for loan losses of $5,693,000 as of December 31, 2006, which was 1.13 percent of total loans. As of June 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was 94.1 percent of nonperforming assets compared with 95.1 percent as of December 31, 2006. Based on the inherent risk in the loan portfolio, management believes that as of June 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses is adequate. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company experienced net loan charge-offs of $196,000 compared with net loan charge-offs of $114,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2006. Net loan charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $400,000 compared with net recoveries of $668,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

Capital Resources

Total shareholders’ equity was 8.5 percent of total assets as of June 30, 2007 and was 8.4 percent as of December 31, 2006. Tangible equity to tangible assets was 6.7 percent as of June 30, 2007 and 6.6 percent as of December 31, 2006. The Company’s Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 10.2 percent of risk-weighted assets as of June 30, 2007 and was 10.0 percent as of December 31, 2006, compared to a 4.0 percent regulatory requirement. Risk-based capital guidelines require the classification of assets and some off-balance-sheet items in terms of credit-risk exposure and the measuring of capital as a percentage of the risk-adjusted asset totals. Tier 1 Capital is the Company’s total common shareholders’ equity plus the trust preferred security reduced by goodwill. Management believes that, as of June 30, 2007, the Company and its subsidiary bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of that date, the bank subsidiary was “well capitalized” under regulatory prompt corrective action provisions.

On January 18, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase of up to $2,000,000 until December 31, 2007. In accordance with this authorization, the Company repurchased 15,000 shares on the open market during the second quarter of 2007 for a total of $262,500, or an average price per share of $17.50. A total of 8,204 shares were issued during the second quarter of 2007 for options exercised under previously awarded grants. Cash dividends of $.18 per share were paid to shareholders on June 15, 2007.

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves meeting the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers. The Company conducts liquidity management on both a daily and long-term basis; and it adjusts its investments in liquid assets based on expected loan demand, projected loan maturities and payments, estimated cash flows from the loan pool participations, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and the objectives of its asset/liability management program. The Company had liquid assets (cash and cash equivalents) of $22,406,000 as of June 30, 2007, compared with $20,726,000 as of December 31, 2006. Investment securities classified as available for sale could be sold to meet liquidity needs if necessary. Additionally, the bank subsidiary maintains lines of credit with correspondent banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank that would allow it to borrow federal funds on a short-term basis if necessary. The Company also maintains a line of credit with a major commercial bank that provides liquidity for the purchase of loan pool participations and other corporate needs. Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity as of June 30, 2007 to meet the needs of borrowers and depositors.

The Company’s $9,000,000 revolving line of credit matured on June 30, 2007. The line of credit was renewed for a period of one year in the amount of $5,000,000. The credit limit was reduced at the request of Company management since a .125 percent commitment fee was being assessed on the unused portion of the line. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had $2,550,000 borrowed on the line. Management believes that the $5,000,000 line should be adequate to meet anticipated borrowing needs.

Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is engaged in various issues involving litigation. Management believes that none of this litigation is material to the Company’s results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has identified two critical accounting policies and practices relative to the financial condition and results of operations. These two accounting policies relate to the allowance for loan losses and to loan pool accounting.

The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s estimate. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in the existing portfolio. In evaluating the portfolio, management takes into consideration numerous factors, including current economic conditions, prior loan loss experience, the composition of the loan portfolio, and management’s estimate of probable credit losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loss based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio, the composition of the portfolio, specific impaired loans, and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loss experience, and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate allowance for loan losses.

18

 
The loan pool accounting practice relates to management’s estimate that the investment amount reflected on the Company’s financial statements does not exceed the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral securing the purchased loans. In evaluating the purchased loan portfolio, management takes into consideration many factors, including the borrowers’ current financial situation, the underlying collateral, current economic conditions, historical collection experience, and other factors relative to the collection process.

In the event that management’s evaluation of the level of the allowance for loan losses is inadequate, the Company would need to increase its provision for loan losses. If the estimated realizable value of the loan pool participations is overstated, the Company’s yield on the loan pools would be reduced.
 
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers, which include commitments to extend credit. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, outstanding commitments to extend credit totaled approximately $85,303,000 and $90,290,000, respectively.

Commitments under standby letters of credit outstanding aggregated $3,851,000 and $2,495,000 as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The Company does not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions.

Contractual obligations and other commitments were presented in the Company’s Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2006. Please refer to this discussion. There have been no material changes since that report was filed. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the contractual obligations table presented in the Company’s Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Part I - Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Market risk is the risk of earnings volatility that results from adverse changes in interest rates and market prices. The Company’s market risk is primarily comprised of interest rate risk arising from its core banking activities of lending and deposit taking. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates may adversely affect the Company’s net interest income. Management continually develops and applies strategies to mitigate this risk. The Company has not experienced any material changes to its market risk position since December 31, 2006, from that disclosed in the Company’s 2006 Form 10-K Annual Report. Management does not believe that the Company’s primary market risk exposures and how those exposures were managed in the first six months of 2007 changed when compared to 2006.

The Company uses a third-party computer software simulation modeling program to measure its exposure to potential interest rate changes. For various assumed hypothetical changes in market interest rates, numerous other assumptions are made such as prepayment speeds on loans and securities backed by mortgages, the slope of the Treasury yield curve, the rates and volumes of the Company’s deposits and the rates and volumes of the Company’s loans. This analysis measures the estimated change in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis of the Company’s interest rate risk was presented in the Form 10-K filed by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2006.
