Exhibit 13

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Middlefield Banc Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Middlefield Banc Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Middlefield Banc Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ending December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

MIDDLEFIELD BANC CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Middlefield Banc Corp. (the “Company”) is an Ohio corporation organized to become the holding company of The Middlefield Banking Company (“MBC”). MBC is a state-chartered bank located in Ohio. On April 19, 2007, Middlefield Banc Corp. acquired Emerald Bank (“EB”), an Ohio-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Dublin, Ohio. On October 23, 2009, the Company established an asset resolution subsidiary named EMORECO, Inc. The Company and its subsidiaries derive substantially all of their income from banking and bank-related services, which includes interest earnings on residential real estate, commercial mortgage, commercial and consumer financings as well as interest earnings on investment securities and deposit services to its customers through ten locations. The Company is supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, while MBC and EB are subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions. EB merged into MBC on January 20, 2014.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include its wholly-owned subsidiaries, MBC, EB, and EMORECO, Inc. (the “Banks”). Significant intercompany items have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Securities

Investment securities are classified at the time of purchase, based on management’s intention and ability, as securities held to maturity or securities available for sale. Debt securities acquired with the intent and ability to hold to maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, which are computed using a level yield method and recognized as adjustments of interest income. Certain other debt securities have been classified as available for sale to serve principally as a source of liquidity. Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax, until realized. Realized security gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on investment securities are recognized as income when earned.

Common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) represents ownership in an institution that is wholly owned by other financial institutions. This equity security is accounted for at cost and classified with other assets. The FHLB of Cincinnati has reported profits for 2013 and 2012, remains in compliance with regulatory capital and liquidity requirements, and continues to pay dividends on the stock and make redemptions at the par value. With consideration given to these factors, management concluded that the stock was not impaired at December 31, 2013 or 2012.

Securities are evaluated on at least a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. For debt securities, management considers whether the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are less than the security’s amortized cost basis (the difference defined as the credit loss), the magnitude and duration of the decline, the reasons underlying the decline and the Company’s intent to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery in market value, to determine whether the loss in value is other than temporary. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, if the Company does not intend to sell the security, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the security, before recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis, the charge to earnings is limited to the amount of credit loss. Any remaining difference between fair value and amortized cost (the difference defined as the non-credit portion) is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Otherwise, the entire difference between fair value and amortized cost is charged to earnings. For equity securities where the fair value has been significantly below cost for one year, the Company’s policy is to recognize an impairment loss unless sufficient evidence is available that the decline is not other than temporary and a recovery period can be predicted.

F-7

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances net of the allowance for loan and lease loss. Interest income is recognized as income when earned on the accrual method. The accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions, the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Interest received on nonaccrual loans is recorded as income or applied against principal according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of such principal.

Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are being deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield. Management is amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the related loans.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Loss

The allowance for loan and lease loss represents the amount which management estimates is adequate to provide for probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance method is used in providing for loan losses. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the allowance, and all recoveries are credited to it. The allowance for loan and lease loss is established through a provision for loan losses which is charged to operations. The provision is based on management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease loss, which encompasses the overall risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments, past experience with losses, the impact of economic conditions on borrowers, and other relevant factors. The estimates used in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease loss, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected on impaired loans, are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable the borrower will not repay the loan according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management has determined that first mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans represent large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are to be collectively evaluated. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired. A loan is not impaired during a period of delay in payment if the Company expects to collect all amounts due, including interest accrued, at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay. All loans identified as impaired are evaluated independently by management. The Company estimates credit losses on impaired loans based on the present value of expected cash flows or the fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan repayment is expected to come from the sale or operation of such collateral. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when it is determined a realized loss has occurred. Until such time, an allowance for loan and lease loss is maintained for estimated losses. Cash receipts on impaired loans are applied first to accrued interest receivable unless otherwise required by the loan terms, except when an impaired loan is also a nonaccrual loan, in which case the portion of the payment related to interest is recognized as income.

Mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans are large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans and are measured for impairment collectively. Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all circumstances concerning the loan, the creditworthiness and payment history of the borrower, the length of the payment delay, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 20 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment and 3 to 40 years for buildings and leasehold improvements. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against income as incurred. Costs of major additions and improvements are capitalized.

Goodwill

The Company accounts for goodwill using a two-step process for testing the impairment of goodwill on at least an annual basis. This approach could cause more volatility in the Company’s reported net income because impairment losses, if any, could occur irregularly and in varying amounts. No impairment of goodwill was recognized in any of the periods presented.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include core deposit intangibles, which are a measure of the value of consumer demand and savings deposits acquired in business combinations accounted for as purchases. The core deposit intangibles are being amortized to expense over a 10 year life on a straight-line basis. The recoverability of the carrying value of intangible assets is evaluated on an ongoing basis, and permanent declines in value, if any, are charged to expense.

F-8

Bank-Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”)

The Company owns insurance on the lives of a certain group of key employees. The policies were purchased to help offset the increase in the costs of various fringe benefit plans including healthcare. The cash surrender value of these policies is included as an asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and any increases in the cash surrender value are recorded as noninterest income on the Consolidated Statement of Income. In the event of the death of an insured individual under these policies, the Company would receive a death benefit, which would be recorded as noninterest income.

Other Real Estate Owned

Real estate properties acquired through foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations and the real estate is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations of the properties, gains or losses on sales and additions to the valuation allowance are included in operating results.

Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

Earnings Per Share

The Company provides dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are calculated utilizing net income as reported in the numerator and average shares outstanding in the denominator. The computation of diluted earnings per share differs in that the dilutive effects of any stock options, warrants, and convertible securities are adjusted in the denominator.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock compensation based on the grant date fair value of all share-based payment awards that are expected to vest, including employee share options to be recognized as employee compensation expense over the requisite service period.

For purposes of computing results, the Company estimated the fair values of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The model requires the use of subjective assumptions that can materially affect fair value estimates. The fair value of each option is amortized into compensation expense on a straight-line basis between the grant date for the option and each vesting date. The fair value of each stock option granted was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

Grant Year	Expected Dividend Yield			Risk-Free Interest Rate			Expected Volatility		Expected Life (in years)
2011		5.82	%		3.00	%		21.78		9.96

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company recorded $0, $0, and $16,000, of compensation cost related to vested stock options. As of December 31, 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. The weighted-average fair value of the stock option granted for 2011 was $1.75.

The Company also issued 1,722 and 2,400 shares of restricted stock and recorded stock–based compensation expense of $32,000 and $43,000 in 2012 and 2011, respectively. There were no shares of restricted stock issued in 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, 21,112 options were exercised resulting in net proceeds of $77,000.

F-9

Cash Flow Information

The Company has defined cash and cash equivalents as those amounts included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet captions as “Cash and due from banks” and “Federal funds sold” with original maturities of less than 90 days.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses amounted to $445,000, $423,000, and $439,000, for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Reclassification of Comparative Amounts

Certain comparative amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentations. Such reclassifications did not affect net income or retained earnings.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The standard requires that companies present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The new requirements will take effect for public companies in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2013. The effect of adopting this standard increased our disclosure surrounding reclassification items out of accumulated other comprehensive income.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The ASU requires the measurement of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement with its co-obligors as well as any additional amount that the entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The new standard is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, and early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted.

In January 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-01, Investments – Equity Method and Join Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. The amendments in this Update permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. A reporting entity that uses the effective yield method to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects before the date of adoption may continue to apply the effective yield method for those preexisting investments. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The amendments in this Update clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction.The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments in this Update using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statement.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

There are no convertible securities that would affect the numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net income as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Income will be used as the numerator. The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted-average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation for year-ended December 31.

	2013			2012			2011
Weighted-average common shares outstanding		2,206,392			2,101,490			1,872,582
Average treasury stock shares		(189,530	)		(189,530	)		(189,530	)

Weighted-average common shares and common stock equivalents used to calculate diluted earnings per share		2,024,040			1,916,932			1,683,052

Options to purchase 58,581 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $17.55 to $40.24 were outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2013. Of those options, 39,808were considered dilutive based on the average market price exceeding the strike price for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The remaining options had no dilutive effect on the earnings per share.

Options to purchase 79,693 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $17.55 to $40.24 were outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2012. Of those options, 8,875 were considered dilutive based on the average market price exceeding the strike price for the year ended December 31, 2012.  In accordance with the subscription agreement entered into by an institutional investor, there were also an additional 12,419 shares, at $16 per share, considered dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The remaining options had no dilutive effect on the earnings per share.

Options to purchase 88,774 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $17.55 to $40.24 were outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2011, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive due to the strike price being greater than the average market price as of December 31, 2011.

There were 98 securities that were considered temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013.

On a quarterly basis, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances indicating that a security with an unrealized loss has suffered other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). A debt security is considered impaired if the fair value is less than its amortized cost basis at the reporting date. The accounting literature requires the Company to assess whether the unrealized loss is other-than-temporary. For equity securities where the fair value has been significantly below cost for one year, the Company’s policy is to recognize an impairment loss unless sufficient evidence is available that the decline is not other than temporary and a recovery period can be predicted.

The Company has asserted that at December 31, 2013 and 2012, the declines outlined in the above table represent temporary declines and the Company does not intend to sell and does not believe it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis, which may be at maturity. The Company has concluded that any impairment of its investment securities portfolio outlined in the above table is not other than temporary and is the result of interest rate changes, sector credit rating changes, or company-specific rating changes that are not expected to result in the noncollection of principal and interest during the period.

Debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies, U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, and state and political subdivisions accounted for more than 97.2% of the total available-for-sale portfolio as of December 31, 2013, and no credit losses are expected, given the explicit and implicit guarantees provided by the U.S. federal government and the lack of significant unrealized loss positions within the obligations of state and political subdivisions security portfolio. The Company’s assessment was concentrated mainly on private-label collateralized mortgage obligations of approximately $3.4 million, for which the Company evaluates credit losses on a quarterly basis. Gross unrealized gains related to private-label collateralized mortgage obligations amounted to $327,000, with no associated gross unrealized loss. The Company considered the following factors in determining whether a credit loss exists and the period over which the debt security is expected to recover:

● The length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis.

● Changes in the near term prospects of the underlying collateral of a security such as changes in default rates, loss severity given default and significant changes in prepayment assumptions.

● The level of cash flows generated from the underlying collateral supporting the principal and interest payments of the debt securities.

● Any adverse change to the credit conditions and liquidity of the issuer, taking into consideration the latest information available about the overall financial condition of the issuer, credit ratings, recent legislation, and government actions affecting the issuer’s industry and actions taken by the issuer to deal with the present economic climate.

The Company determined equity securities in financial institutions to be other than temporarily impaired and recognized a loss of $194,000 in 2011. This amount represents a before-tax, non-cash charge, and was recorded as a reduction to noninterest income.

The Company’s investment in one private-label collateralized mortgage obligation with a carrying value of $899,000 was impaired in 2011 as a result of the Company’s determination that declines in their fair value were other than temporary. As a result of this determination, the Company recognized a $35,000 before-tax, non-cash charge, which was recorded as a reduction to noninterest income.

The Company’s loan portfolio is segmented to a level that allows management to monitor risk and performance. The portfolio is segmented into Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”), Real Estate Construction, Real Estate - Mortgage which is further segmented into Residential and Commercial real estate, and Consumer Installment Loans. The C&I loan segment consists of loans made for the purpose of financing the activities of commercial customers. The residential mortgage loan segment consists of loans made for the purpose of financing the activities of residential homeowners. The commercial mortgage loan segment consists of loans made for the purpose of financing the activities of commercial real estate owners and operators. The consumer loan segment consists primarily of installment loans and overdraft lines of credit connected with customer deposit accounts.

Management evaluates individual loans in all of the commercial segments for possible impairment if the loan is greater than $150,000 and if the loan either is in nonaccrual status, or is risk rated Special Mention or Substandard and is greater than 90 days past due. Loans are considered to be 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 evaluating impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. 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. The Company does not separately evaluate individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment, unless such loans are part of a larger relationship that is impaired.

Once the determination has been made that a loan is impaired, the determination of whether a specific allocation of the allowance is necessary is measured by comparing the recorded investment in the loan to the fair value of the loan using one of three methods: (a) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (b) the loan’s observable market price; or (c) the fair value of the collateral less selling costs. The method is selected on a loan-by-loan basis, with management primarily utilizing the fair value of collateral method. The evaluation of the need and amount of a specific allocation of the allowance and whether a loan can be removed from impairment status is made on a quarterly basis. The Company’s policy for recognizing interest income on impaired loans does not differ from its overall policy for interest recognition.

The Company does not forgive principal upon troubled debt restructuring. Therefore, the post-modification outstanding recorded investment equals pre-modification outstanding recorded investment for each timeframe and category.

Management uses a nine-point internal risk-rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first five categories are considered not criticized and are aggregated as Pass-rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification.  Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected.  All loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard.  Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured loan-rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight.  Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, repossession, or death, occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event.  The Company’s Commercial Loan Officers are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis.  The Credit Department performs an annual review of all commercial relationships $200,000 or greater.  Confirmation of the appropriate risk grade is included in the review on an ongoing basis.  The Company has an experienced Loan Review Department that continually reviews and assesses loans within the portfolio.  The Company engages an external consultant to conduct loan reviews on a semiannual basis. Generally, the external consultant reviews commercial relationships greater than $250,000 and/or criticized relationships greater than $125,000.  Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on loans classified as Substandard on a quarterly basis.  Loans in the Special Mention and Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.

An allowance for loan and lease loss (“ALLL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio.  The ALLL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience, and the amount of nonperforming loans.

The Company’s methodology for determining the ALLL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment (discussed above) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance.   The total of the two components represents the Company’s ALLL.

Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed, with general allowances being made as appropriate.  For general allowances, historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio.  These historical loss amounts are modified by other qualitative factors.

The classes described above, which are based on the purpose code assigned to each loan, provide the starting point for the ALLL analysis.  Management tracks the historical net charge-off activity at the purpose code level.  A historical charge-off factor is calculated utilizing the last four consecutive quarters.

Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor, because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience.  The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources are: national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in delinquency rates and nonaccrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, ability, and depth of lending staff; value of underlying collateral; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry, and/or geographic standpoint.

Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALLL.  When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALLL.

The following tables summarize the primary segments of the loan portfolio (in thousands):

	Commercial and industrial			Real estate- construction			Real estate- residential mortgage			Real estate- commercial mortgage		Consumer installment			Total

The C&I ALLL balance declined from $1.7 million at December 31, 2012 to $614,000 at December 31, 2013. Loan grade reclassifications resulted in a shift of $660,000 of specific reserve from this category. Residential mortgage real estate ALLL increased from $2.9 million to $3.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. This was largely the result of increasing the 1-4 family owner-occupied historical loss ratio. The real estate construction ALLL balance declined from $1.1 million at December 31, 2012 to $576,000 at December 31, 2013. The credit provision in this category was related to a fourth quarter shift of one loan from the classified list. At the time of removal, this loan had a balance of $3.1 million and the associated reserve was $700,000. A provision in any loan portfolio is not necessarily related to current charge-offs, but is a result of the evaluation of the loans in that category.

The Company entered into a ten-year “Convertible Select” fixed commitment advance arrangement with the FHLB. Rates may be reset at the FHLB’s discretion on a quarterly basis based on the three-month LIBOR rate. At each rate change, the Company may exercise a put option and satisfy the obligation without penalty.

Fixed-rate amortizing advances from the FHLB require monthly principal and interest payments and an annual 20 percent paydown of outstanding principal. Monthly principal and interest payments are adjusted after each 20 percent paydown. Under the terms of a blanket agreement, FHLB borrowings are secured by certain qualifying assets of the Company which consist principally of first mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities. Under this credit arrangement, the Company has a remaining borrowing capacity of approximately $85.3 million at December 31, 2013.

The Company formed a special purpose entity (“Entity”) to issue $8,000,000 of floating rate, obligated mandatorily redeemable securities, and $248,000 in common securities as part of a pooled offering. The rate adjusts quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 1.67%. The Entity may redeem them, in whole or in part, at face value. The Company borrowed the proceeds of the issuance from the Entity in December 2006 in the form of an $8,248,000 note payable, which is included in the other borrowings on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

No valuation allowance was established at December 31, 2013 and 2012, in view of the Company’s ability to carry-back to taxes paid in previous years and certain tax strategies, coupled with the anticipated future taxable income as evidenced by the Company's earnings potential.

The reconciliation between the federal statutory rate and the Company’s effective consolidated income tax rate is as follows:

(Dollar amounts in thousands)	2013						2012						2011
				% of						% of						% of
				Pretax						Pretax						Pretax
	Amount			Income			Amount			Income			Amount			Income
Provision at statutory rate	$	3,062			34.0	%	$	2,700			34.0	%	$	1,606			34.0	%

Benefits from tax positions should be recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met.

F-25

At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase within the next 12 months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

The Company and the Bank are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as an income tax in the state of Ohio, and the Bank are subject to a capital‐based franchise tax in the state of Ohio. The Company and the Bank are no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before December 31, 2010.

13. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Retirement Plan

The Bank maintains section 401(k) employee savings and investment plans for all full-time employees and officers of the Bank with more than one year of service. The Bank's contributions to the plans are based on 50 percent matching of voluntary contributions up to 6 percent of compensation. An eligible employee can contribute up to 100 percent of salary. Employee contributions are vested at all times, and MBC contributions are fully vested after six years beginning at the second year in 20 percent increments. EB contributions are vested at 25 percent for less than a year of employment, 50 percent after one year, 75 percent after two years, and fully vested after three years. Contributions for 2013, 2012, and 2011 to these plans amounted to $155,000, $125,000, and $104,000, respectively.

Supplemental Retirement Plan

MBC maintains a Directors’ Retirement Plan to provide postretirement payments over a ten-year period to members of the Board of Directors who have completed five or more years of service. The plan requires payment of 25 percent of the final average annual board fees paid to a director in the three years preceding the director’s retirement.

The following table illustrates the components of the projected payments for the Directors’ Retirement Plan for the years ended:

	Projected Payments
2014	$	34,000
2015		34,000
2016		29,000
2017		23,000
2018		18,000
Thereafter		23,000
Total	$	161,000

The retirement plan is available solely for nonemployee directors of The Middlefield Banking Company, but the Bank has not entered into any additional retirement arrangements for nonemployee directors since 2001. All director participants have retired.

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company maintains an Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) to provide post-retirement payments to members of senior management. The Plan agreements are noncontributory, defined contribution arrangements that provide supplemental retirement income benefits to five officers, with contributions made solely by the Banks. During 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company contributed $120,000, $139,000, and $91,000, respectively, to the Plan.

Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan

The Company maintains a stock option and restricted stock plan (“the Plan”) for granting incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and restricted stock to key officers and employees and nonemployee directors of the Company. A total of 160,000 shares of authorized and unissued or issued common stock are reserved for issuance under the Plan, which expires ten years from the date of stockholder ratification. The per share exercise price of an option granted will not be less than the fair value of a share of common stock on the date the option is granted.

For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company granted 0, 1,722, and 2,400 shares, respectively, of common stock under the Omnibus Equity Plan. The Company recognizes compensation expense in the amount of fair value of the common stock at the grant date and as an addition to stockholders’ equity.

14. COMMITMENTS

In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments and certain contingent liabilities which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These commitments and contingent liabilities represent financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement in particular types of financial instruments which were composed of the following:

(Dollar amounts in thousands)	2013		2012
Commitments to extend credit	$	120,861	$	91,854
Standby letters of credit		4,809		281
Total	$	125,670	$	92,135

These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to the financial instruments, is represented by the contractual amounts as disclosed. The Company minimizes its exposure to credit loss under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and review procedures and collateral requirements as deemed necessary. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates within one year of their origination.

F-27

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Performance letters of credit represent conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These instruments are issued primarily to support bid or performance-related contracts. The coverage period for these instruments is typically a one-year period with an annual renewal option subject to prior approval by management. Fees earned from the issuance of these letters are recognized over the coverage period. For secured letters of credit, the collateral is typically bank deposit instruments or customer business assets.

Leasing Arrangements

The Company leases certain of its banking facilities under operating leases which contain certain renewal options. As of December 31, 2013, approximate future minimum rental payments, including the renewal options under these leases, are as follows (in thousands):

2014		221
2015		226
2016		230
2017		238
2018		240
Thereafter		203
	$	1,358

The above amounts represent minimum rentals not adjusted for possible future increases due to escalation provisions and assume that all renewal option periods will be exercised by the Company. Rent expense approximated $301,000, $269,000, and $248,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

15. REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS

The Company is subject to the regulatory requirements of the Federal Reserve System as a multi-bank holding company. The affiliate banks are subject to regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the State of Ohio, Division of Financial Institutions.

In February of 2011 Emerald Bank agreed with the FDIC and the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions that Emerald Bank will take specified actions to correct weaknesses in the bank’s condition and operations. The actions that Emerald Bank agreed to take include reducing the bank’s concentration of credit in non-owner occupied 1 - 4 family residential mortgage loans, reducing delinquent and classified loans, enhancing credit administration for non-owner occupied residential real estate, developing plans for the reduction of borrower indebtedness on classified and delinquent credits, implementing an earnings improvement plan, maintaining leverage capital of at least 9%, revising the bank’s methodology for calculating and determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease loss, and providing to the FDIC and the ODFI notice of proposed dividend payments at least 30 days in advance.

We have conducted an evaluation and reorganization of lending and credit administration personnel, retained collection and workout personnel, and sold $5.8 million of nonperforming assets EMORECO, Inc., Middlefield Banc Corp.’s nonbank-asset resolution subsidiary established in the fourth quarter of 2009. Middlefield Banc Corp. provided capital of $500,000 to Emerald Bank in 2010 and $1.5 million in 2011 so that Emerald Bank would achieve the elevated 9% leverage capital level. At December 31, 2013 Emerald Bank’s leverage ratio was 10.92%.

In addition to Emerald Bank maintaining leverage capital of at least 9%, Middlefield Banc Corp. committed to the Federal Reserve that Middlefield Banc Corp. will maintain tier 1 leverage capital of at least 7.25% and total risk-based capital of at least 12%, both at the level of the holding company and at the level of The Middlefield Banking Company.

Cash Requirements

The Cleveland district Federal Reserve Bank requires the Company to maintain certain average reserve balances. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had required reserves of $7.4 million and $7.1 million comprising vault cash and a depository amount held with the Federal Reserve Bank.

F-28

Loans

Federal law prevents the Company from borrowing from the Banks unless the loans are secured by specific obligations. Further, such secured loans are limited in amount of 10 percent of the Banks’ common stock and capital surplus.

Dividends

MBC and EB are subject to dividend restrictions that generally limit the amount of dividends that can be paid by an Ohio state-chartered bank. Under the Ohio Banking Code, cash dividends may not exceed net profits as defined for that year combined with retained net profits for the two preceding years less any required transfers to surplus. Under this formula the amount available for payment of dividends for 2014 approximates $10.4 millionplus 2014 profits retained up to the date of the dividend declaration.

Potential Restrictions

On or about January 14, 2013 an investor to whom we sold a total of 196,635 shares in April of 2012, constituting 9.9% of our stock, obtained from the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland regulatory clearance to acquire up to 24.99% of our stock. The August 15, 2011 Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, under which we sold shares to the investor provided for sale of up to 24.99% of our stock, subject to the investor obtaining regulatory clearance and subject to other conditions. Although we disclosed in a Form 8-K Current Report filed with the SEC on January 18, 2013 that sale of additional shares to the investor under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement will not occur, if the investor nevertheless acquires shares and increases his ownership to 10% or more of our common stock, whether acquiring the shares on the open market or from us, we will become subject to additional restrictions under the terms of the regulatory clearance issued to the investor by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions. Specifically, for three years after the investor becomes an owner of 10% or more of our stock, we would have to obtain advance approval of the ODFI in order for The Middlefield Banking Company to pay a dividend to Middlefield Banc Corp., and for 12 months we would have to obtain advance written approval of the ODFI for any changes in the composition of Middlefield Banc Corp.’s board or executive management.

16. REGULATORY CAPITAL

Federal regulations require the Company and the Banks to maintain minimum amounts of capital. Specifically, each is required to maintain certain minimum dollar amounts and ratios of Total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to average total assets.

In addition to the capital requirements, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (“FDICIA”) established five capital categories ranging from “well capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized.” Should any institution fail to meet the requirements to be considered “adequately capitalized,” it would become subject to a series of increasingly restrictive regulatory actions.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the FDIC categorized the Banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be classified as a well capitalized financial institution, Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 Leverage capital ratios must be at least 10 percent, 6 percent, and 5 percent, respectively.

F-29

The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ actual capital ratios are presented in the following table that shows that all regulatory capital requirements were met as of December 31, 2013.

17. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE MEASUREMENTS

The following disclosures show the hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observations utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles are as follows:

Level I: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

Level II: Pricing inputs are other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently and items that are fair-valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

Level III: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

F-31

The following table presents the assets reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Equity securities in financial institutions		5		745		-		750
Total	$	5	$	194,467	$	-	$	194,472

Financial instruments are considered Level III when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. In addition to these unobservable inputs, the valuation models for Level III financial instruments typically also rely on a number of inputs that are readily observable either directly or indirectly. Level III financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The following tables present the assets measured on a non-recurring basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are written down to fair value through the establishment of specific reserves. Techniques used to value the collateral that secure the impaired loan include: quoted market prices for identical assets classified as Level I inputs and observable inputs, employed by certified appraisers, for similar assets classified as Level II inputs. In cases where valuation techniques included inputs that are unobservable and are based on estimates and assumptions developed by management based on the best information available under each circumstance, the asset valuation is classified as Level III inputs.

			December 31, 2013
(Dollar amounts in thousands)	Level I		Level II		Level III		Total
Assets measured on a non-recurring basis:
Impaired loans	$	-	$	-	$	17,158	$	17,158

Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of ownership interest in an entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from/to a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.

Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced liquidation sale. If a quoted market price is available for a financial instrument, the estimated fair value would be calculated based upon the market price per trading unit of the instrument.

If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial instruments should be based upon management’s judgment regarding current economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated losses, and other factors as determined through various option pricing formulas or simulation modeling. Since many of these assumptions result from judgments made by management based upon estimates which are inherently uncertain, the resulting estimated fair values may not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale of a particular financial instrument. In addition, changes in assumptions on which the estimated fair values are based may have a significant impact on the resulting estimated fair values.

As certain assets such as deferred tax assets and premises and equipment are not considered financial instruments, the estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full value of the Company.

The Company employed simulation modeling in determining the estimated fair value of financial instruments for which quoted market prices were not available based upon the following assumptions:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, Accrued Interest Receivable, Accrued Interest Payable, and Short-Term Borrowings

The fair value is equal to the current carrying value.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

The fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies.

Investment Securities Available for Sale

The fair value of investment securities is equal to the available quoted market price. If no quoted market price is available, fair value is estimated using the quoted market price for similar securities.

Loans

The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market inputs at which loans with similar terms and qualities would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality. Where quoted market prices were available, primarily for certain residential mortgage loans, such market rates were utilized as estimates for fair value.

F-34

Deposits and Other Borrowed Funds

The fair values of certificates of deposit and other borrowed funds are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rates are estimated using rates currently offered for similar instruments with similar remaining maturities. Demand, savings, and money market deposits are valued at the amount payable on demand as of year-end.

Commitments to Extend Credit

These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale, and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying value, represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment or letter of credit, and the fair value, determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, are not considered material for disclosure. The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments and letters of credit are presented in Note 14.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

The consolidated review and analysis of Middlefield Banc Corp. (“Company”) is intended to assist the reader in evaluating the performance of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements.

The Company is an Ohio corporation organized to become the holding company of The Middlefield Banking Company (“MBC”). MBC is a state-chartered bank located in Ohio. On April 19, 2007, the Company acquired Emerald Bank (“EB”), an Ohio-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Dublin, Ohio. On October 23, 2009, the Company established an asset resolution subsidiary named EMORECO, Inc. EB merged into MBC on January 20. 2014. The Company derives substantially all of its income from banking and bank-related services, which includes interest earnings on residential real estate, commercial mortgage, commercial and consumer financings as well as interest earnings on investment securities and deposit services through ten locations. The Company is supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, while MBC is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions. MBC is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Cincinnati, which is one of the twelve regional banks comprising the FHLB System.

These forward-looking statements may involve significant risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from the results in these forward-looking statements.

Significant Factors Affecting Financial Results

Closer regulatory supervision of Emerald Bank. In February of 2011 Emerald Bank agreed with the FDIC and the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions that Emerald Bank will take specified actions to correct weaknesses in the bank’s condition and operations. The actions that Emerald Bank agreed to take include reducing the bank’s concentration of credit in non-owner occupied 1 - 4 family residential mortgage loans, reducing delinquent and classified loans, enhancing credit administration for non-owner occupied residential real estate, developing plans for the reduction of borrower indebtedness on classified and delinquent credits, implementing an earnings improvement plan, maintaining leverage capital of at least 9%, revising the bank’s methodology for calculating and determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease loss, and providing to the FDIC and the ODFI notice of proposed dividend payments at least 30 days in advance.

We have conducted an evaluation and reorganization of lending and credit administration personnel, retained collection and workout personnel, and sold $5.8 million of nonperforming assets to EMORECO, Inc., Middlefield Banc Corp.’s nonbank-asset resolution subsidiary established in the fourth quarter of 2009. Middlefield Banc Corp. provided capital of $1.5 million to Emerald Bank in 2011 to ensure achievement of the 9% leverage capital level. At December 31, 2013 Emerald Bank’s leverage ratio was 10.92% and on January 20, 2014, Emerald Bank merged into The Middlefield Banking Company.

In addition to Emerald Bank maintaining leverage capital of at least 9%, Middlefield Banc Corp. committed to the Federal Reserve that Middlefield Banc Corp. will maintain tier 1 leverage capital of at least 7.25% and total risk-based capital of at least 12%, both at the level of the holding company and at the level of The Middlefield Banking Company.

Weakness in the local and regional economies. In 2013 the Company continued to monitor the impact of the recession that began in late 2007. We anticipate microeconomic conditions in the markets we conduct business to experience limited growth. The potential exists for deterioration in the residential and commercial real estate markets and in unemployment levels, but we are cautiously optimistic that local and regional factors could strengthen. We anticipate interest rates to begin experiencing upward pressure and will monitor the effects of Federal Reserve actions.

Capital maintenance and enhancement is a priority. In January of 2011, the Company’s board established a goal to achieve Tier 1 leverage capital of 7.25% and total risk-based capital of 12.00%, both at the level of the Company and at MBC. The parent company board also affirmed the goal of restraining growth at the level of the subsidiary banks to promote achievement of these elevated capital level targets. The Company’s Tier 1 leverage capital was 8.97% as of December 31, 2013, with total risk-based capital of 14.06%. MBC’s Tier 1 leverage capital was 8.51% as of December 31, 2013, with total risk-based capital of 13.77%. In 2013 MBC shrunk the balance sheet as a result of reducing the rates paid on deposits, which also had the effect of enhancing net interest margin. We also benefitted from record levels of income. Accumulated other comprehensive income notwithstanding, stockholders’ equity experienced growth. The goal of the elevated capital levels is to account for potential economic stress in the markets in which the Company operates and to account for the levels of substandard and other nonperforming assets.

In a private common stock offering that began in 2010, Middlefield Banc Corp. sold a total of 138,150 shares in 2011, followed by a sale of 93,050 shares on April 17, 2012 and a sale of 103,585 shares on April 30, 2012. The offering concluded on March 8, 2013 with a sale of 13,320 shares to an institutional investor, completing the sale to that investor under the terms of the subscription agreement it entered into in August of 2011. All sales in the offering occurred at $16 per share.

On or about January 14, 2013 an investor to whom we sold a total of 196,635 shares in April of 2012, constituting 9.9% of our stock, obtained from the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland regulatory clearance to acquire up to 24.99% of our stock. The August 15, 2011 Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, under which we sold shares to the investor provided for sale of up to 24.99% of our stock, subject to the investor obtaining regulatory clearance and subject to other conditions. Although we disclosed in a Form 8-K Current Report filed with the SEC on January 18, 2013 that sale of additional shares to the investor under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement will not occur, if the investor nevertheless acquires shares and increases his ownership to 10% or more of our common stock, whether acquiring the shares on the open market or from us, we will become subject to additional restrictions under the terms of the regulatory clearance issued to the investor by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions. Specifically, for three years after the investor becomes an owner of 10% or more of our stock, we would have to obtain advance approval of the ODFI in order for The Middlefield Banking Company to pay a dividend to Middlefield Banc Corp., and for 12 months we would have to obtain advance written approval of the ODFI for any changes in the composition of Middlefield Banc Corp.’s board or executive management.

Longer-term prospects for growth. Capital enhancement and reduction of nonperforming assets continue to be a higher priority than growth. The Company does not anticipate significant deposit growth. An increase in loan demand and the availability of high-quality lending opportunities continues to be the driver of growth potential and depends on a broad range of economic factors in the markets in which the Company operates, including the condition of real estate markets in northeastern Ohio and in central Ohio.

The financial crisis that began at the end of 2007 has had a profound impact on the banking industry. More than 490 banks and savings associations have failed. The FDIC’s list of problem institutions remains at an elevated level, with 515 problem institutions at the end of the third quarter of 2013. Nonperforming and classified assets held by the banking industry have decreased from previous elevated levels. Uncertainty about economic sustainability and the potential for other factors to have an adverse impact on the prospects for the banking industry, such as national and global economic and political factors, the bank regulatory agencies have insisted that banks increase the size of the buffer that protects a bank from unknown potential adverse events and circumstances: regulatory capital.

Under these conditions a bank’s prospects for growth by expansion or other form of acquisition are limited by the more immediate need for additional capital or by the bank’s obligation to ensure that expansion will not expose the bank to the risk of inadequate capital. In addition, the economic events of the last few years have very adversely affected bank valuations throughout the entire industry, with the entire industry burdened by excessive nonperforming and classified assets and the potential for still more growth in those asset classes. We believe that as economic uncertainties are reduced, including uncertainty about whether the nonperforming and other classified assets will continue to grow or will instead finally be reduced to more historically normal levels, the opportunities for growth, including by acquisition of other institutions or by establishment or acquisition of branches, will return, although we currently remain subject to enhanced regulatory scrutiny, which could affect our ability to obtain regulatory approval for expansion. We believe that, for the immediate future, growth is likely to be organic based on a bank’s existing profile.

At approximately 6,900, the total number of banks and savings associations as of the end of 2013 is less than half the number at the end of 1990, when the number exceeded 15,000. Nevertheless, a large percentage of the institutions that remain are small, community-oriented institutions, although the share of total banking assets that they control continues to decline. As an increasing share of the banking universe is occupied by the largest institutions, and taking into account economic, demographic, and technological changes and a greatly expanding regulatory burden, the future of banking favors larger institutions. We believe these factors create a strong incentive for growth through industry consolidation, meaning acquisition of smaller institutions by larger institutions and mergers of smaller institutions as a defense to competitive pressure from larger institutions. We therefore believe that industry consolidation is likely to continue and that the pace of consolidation could actually accelerate.

The trend toward consolidation would be most advantageous for financial institution organizations that have a surplus of capital, a strategy for growth, a strong financial profile, and few if any regulatory supervisory concerns, the ingredients of prompt regulatory approval that could be a significant competitive advantage in the market for financial institution mergers and acquisitions. Our goal is to acquire that advantage; although we give no assurance that our efforts to do so will succeed. Since 2009 we’ve committed significant resources to eliminating operational weakness in The Middlefield Banking Company, we moved nonperforming and substandard assets to an asset resolution subsidiary, we agreed to elevated capital requirements and we took the steps necessary to achieve those elevated capital levels, we continue to invest resources both to resolve existing nonperforming and substandard assets and to prevent growth in those asset classes, and we raised additional holding company capital through a private equity offering.

Although we are not currently exploring acquisition opportunities and it is unrealistic to expect that we will grow by acquisition within the next 12 months, we are seeking to make Middlefield Banc Corp. eligible to grow by acquisition if a suitable opportunity arises. We give no assurance that we will be eligible to acquire or an appropriate opportunity will arise.

Critical Accounting Policies

Allowance for loan and lease loss. Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for loan and lease loss involves a high degree of judgment. The Company’s allowance for loan and lease loss provides for probable losses based upon evaluations of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.

Management uses historical information to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease loss as well as the prevailing business environment, which is affected by changing economic conditions and various external factors and which may impact the portfolio in ways currently unforeseen. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses and by recoveries of loans previously charged-off and reduced by loans charged-off. For a full discussion of the Company’s methodology of assessing the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses, refer to Note 1 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Annual Report.

F-42

Valuation of Securities. Securities are classified as held to maturity or available for sale on the date of purchase. Only those securities classified as held to maturity are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale and trading securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related deferred income taxes, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The majority of all of the Company’s securities are valued based on prices compiled by third party vendors using observable market data. However, certain securities are less actively traded and do not always have quoted market prices. The determination of their fair value, therefore, requires judgment, as this determination may require benchmarking to similar instruments or analyzing default and recovery rates. Examples include certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations and high-yield debt securities. Realized securities gains or losses are reported within noninterest income in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. Investment securities are generally evaluated for OTTI under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.

Debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies, U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, and state and political subdivisions accounted for more than 97.2% of the total available-for-sale portfolio as of December 31, 2013, and no credit losses are expected, given the explicit and implicit guarantees provided by the U.S. federal government and the lack of significant unrealized loss positions within the obligations of state and political subdivisions security portfolio. The Company considered the following factors in determining whether a credit loss exists and the period over which the debt security is expected to recover:

● The length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis.

● Changes in the near term prospects of the underlying collateral of a security such as changes in default rates, loss severity given default and significant changes in prepayment assumptions.

● The level of cash flows generated from the underlying collateral supporting the principal and interest payments of the debt securities.

● Any adverse change to the credit conditions and liquidity of the issuer, taking into consideration the latest information available about the overall financial condition of the issuer, credit ratings, recent legislation and government actions affecting the issuer’s industry and actions taken by the issuer to deal with the present economic climate.

The Company’s investment in one private-label collateralized mortgage obligation with a carrying value of $899,000 was impaired in 2011 as a result of the Company’s determination that declines in their fair value were other than temporary. As a result of this determination, the Company recognized a $35,000 before-tax, non-cash charge, which was recorded as a reduction to noninterest income.

Refer to Note 3 in the consolidated financial statements.

F-43

Income Taxes

The Company estimates income tax expense based on amounts expected to be owed to the various tax jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business. On a quarterly basis, management assesses the reasonableness of the Company’s effective tax rate based upon management’s current estimate of the amount and components of net income, tax credits and the applicable statutory tax rates expected for the full year. The estimated income tax expense is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the balance sheet method and are reported in accrued taxes, interest and expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities and recognizes enacted changes in tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent they exist and are subject to a valuation allowance based on management’s judgment that realization is more likely than not.

Accrued taxes represent the net estimated amount due to taxing jurisdictions and are reported in accrued taxes, interest and expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company evaluates and assesses the relative risks and appropriate tax treatment of transactions and filing positions after considering statutes, regulations, judicial precedent and other information and maintains tax accruals consistent with management’s evaluation of these relative risks and merits. Changes to the estimate of accrued taxes occur periodically due to changes in tax rates, interpretations of tax laws, the status of examinations being conducted by taxing authorities and changes to statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance that impact the relative risks of tax positions. These changes, when they occur, can affect deferred taxes and accrued taxes as well as the current period’s income tax expense and can be significant to the operating results of the Company.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired in connection with business acquisitions accounted for as purchases. Other intangible assets consist of branch acquisition core deposit premiums.

The Company must assess goodwill and other intangible assets each year for impairment. The gross carrying amount of goodwill and intangible assets is tested for impairment in the fourth quarter, after the annual forecasting process.

Management’s assessment of the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets involves estimating cash flows for future periods. If the future cash flows were less than the recorded goodwill and other intangible assets balances, the Company would be required to take a charge against earnings to write down the assets to the lower value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments is based on available market prices or management’s estimates of the fair value of such instruments.

Management consults with a third party for available market prices as well as performs calculations of the present value of contractual cash flows discounted at current comparative market inputs. Prepayment estimates are utilized when appropriate.

Changes in Financial Condition

General The Company’s total assets decreased $23.2 million or 3.5% to $647.1 million at December 31, 2013 from $670.3 million at December 31, 2012. This was due to decreases in cash and due from banks of $19.2 million and investment securities of $37.3 million, which was partially offset by an increase in net loans of $28.0 million.

The decrease in the Company’s total assets reflects a related decrease in total liabilities of $21.2 million or 3.5% to a total balance of $593.6 million at December 31, 2013 from $614.9 million at December 31, 2012. The Company also experienced a decrease in total stockholders’ equity of $2.0 million.

The decrease in total liabilities was primarily due a reduction in deposits for the year. Total deposits decreased $24.5 million or 4.1% to $568.8 million at December 31, 2013 from $593.3 million as of December 31, 2012. The net decrease in total stockholders’ equity can be attributed to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $7.6 million, partially offset by increases in retained earnings of $5.0 million, or 22.1% and common stock of $0.7 million, or 2.0%.

F-44

Cash on hand and Federal funds sold Cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold represent cash and cash equivalents which decreased $19.2 million or 42.2% to $26.2 million at December 31, 2013 from $45.3 million at December 31, 2012. Deposits from customers into savings and checking accounts, loan and security repayments and proceeds from borrowed funds typically increase these accounts. Decreases result from customer withdrawals, new loan originations, security purchases and repayments of borrowed funds.

Securities Management's objective in structuring the portfolio is to maintain a prudent level of liquidity while providing an acceptable rate of return without sacrificing asset quality. Maturing securities have historically provided sufficient liquidity. The balance of total securities decreased $37.3 million, or 19.2%, as compared to 2012, with the ratio of securities to total assets decreasing to 24.3% at December 31, 2013, compared to 29.0% at December 31, 2012.

The Company benefits from owning mortgage-backed securities, which totaled $42.0 million or 26.7% of the Company's total investment portfolio at December 31, 2013. The primary difference of mortgage-backed securities is the amortization of principal as compared to other types of investment securities, which deliver proceeds upon maturity or call date. The weighted-average federal tax equivalent (FTE) yield on all debt securities at year-end 2013 was 3.90%, as compared to 4.21% at year-end 2012. While the Company's focus is to generate interest revenue primarily through loan growth, management will continue to invest excess funds in securities when opportunities arise.

Loans receivable The loans receivable category consists primarily of single family mortgage loans used to purchase or refinance personal residences located within the Company’s market area and commercial real estate loans used to finance properties that are used in the borrowers’ businesses or to finance investor-owned rental properties and commercial loans to finance the business operations and to a lesser extent construction and consumer loans. Net loans receivable increased $28.0 million or 7.0% to $428.7 million at December 31, 2013 from $400.7 million at December 31, 2012. Included in this growth were increases in real estate mortgages of $31.9. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $7.7 million in commercial and industrial loans.

The product mix in the loan portfolio is commercial loans equaling 12.5%, construction loans 5.9%, residential real estate loans 48.3%, commercial real estate loans 32.4% and consumer loans 1.0% at December 31, 2013 compared with 15.2%, 5.5%, 49.9%, 28.3% and 1.0%, respectively, at December 31, 2012.

Loans contributed 79.8% of total interest income in 2013 and 78.0% in 2012. The loan portfolio yield of 5.41% in 2013 was 74 basis points higher than the average yield for total interest-earning assets. Management recognizes that while the loan portfolio holds some of the Company’s highest yielding assets, it is inherently the most risky portfolio. Accordingly, management attempts to balance credit risk versus return with conservative credit standards. Management has developed and maintains comprehensive underwriting guidelines and a loan review function that monitors credits during and after the approval process. Because of the Company’s increased levels of nonperforming assets, management follows additional procedures to obtain current borrower financial information annually throughout the life of the loan obligation.

To minimize risks associated with changes in the borrower’s future repayment capacity, the Company generally requires scheduled periodic principal and interest payments on all types of loans and normally requires collateral.

The Company will continue to monitor the size of its loan portfolio growth. The Company's lending markets have rebounded from the suppressed levels of loan originations in previous years. The Company anticipates total loan growth to be steady, with volume to continue at a moderate pace. The Company remains committed to sound underwriting practices without sacrificing asset quality and avoiding exposure to unnecessary risk that could weaken the credit quality of the portfolio.

FHLB stock. FHLB stock remained unchanged at $1.9 million at December 31, 2013 when compared to the prior year.

Goodwill. Goodwill results from prior business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed annually for impairment and any such impairment is recognized in the period identified by a charge to earnings. In assessing goodwill for impairment, management estimates the fair value of the Company’s banking subsidiary to which the goodwill relates. To arrive at fair value estimates management considers prices received upon sale of other banking institutions of similar size and with similar operating results. Purchase prices as a multiple of earnings, book value, tangible book value and deposits are considered and applied to the Company’s banking subsidiary. The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment requires management to make significant estimates and judgments. The use of different estimates, judgments or approaches to estimate fair value could result in a different conclusion regarding impairment of goodwill. Based on the analysis, management has determined that there is no goodwill impairment.

F-45

The Company annually uses the services of an independent third party that is regarded in the banking industry as an expert in valuing core deposits and monitoring the ongoing value of core deposit intangibles and goodwill on an annual basis. Goodwill balances were unchanged in 2013.

Bank owned life insurance. Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) is universal life insurance, purchased by the Company, on the lives of the Company’s officers. The beneficial aspects of these universal life insurance policies are tax-free earnings and a tax-free death benefit, which are realized by the Company as the owner of the policies. BOLI increased by $280,000 to $8.8 million as of December 31, 2013 from $8.5 million at the end of 2012 as a result of the earnings of the underlying insurance policies.

Deposits. Interest-earning assets are funded generally by both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing core deposits. Deposits are influenced by changes in interest rates, economic conditions and competition from other banks. The Company considers various sources when evaluating funding needs, including but not limited to deposits, which represented 96.2% of the Company’s total funding sources at December 31, 2013. The deposit base consists of demand deposits, savings, money market accounts and time deposits. Total deposits decreased $24.5 million or 4.1% to $593.3 million at December 31, 2013 from $593.3 million at December 31, 2012.

Savings and time deposits are the largest sources of funding for the Company's earning assets, each making up 31.0% of total deposits. During 2013, savings increased $1.9 million, or 1.1% while time deposits decreased $22.3 million, or 11.4%, from year-end 2012. The time deposit decrease is primarily due to the historically low market interest rates on CD’s causing customers to seek greater return or additional liquidity in other instruments.

Demand deposit balances also decreased in 2013, down $0.2 million, or 0.1%, to finish at $139.6 million at year-end 2013 as compared to $139.8 million at year-end 2012. The Company will continue to experience increased competition for deposits in its market areas, which could challenge net growth in its deposit balances. The Company will continue to evaluate its deposit portfolio mix to properly employ both retail and wholesale funds to support earning assets and minimize interest costs.

Borrowed funds. The Company uses short and long-term borrowings as another source of funding to benefit asset growth and liquidity needs. These borrowings primarily include FHLB advances, junior subordinated debt, lines of credit from other banks and repurchase agreement borrowings. Borrowed funds increased $2.9 million or 14.9% to $22.4 million at December 31, 2013 from $19.5 million at December 31, 2012. FHLB advances declined $1.4 million with short-term borrowings decreasing $4.3 million.

Stockholders’ equity. The Company maintains a capital level that exceeds regulatory requirements as a margin of safety for its depositors and shareholders. All of the capital ratios exceeded the regulatory well capitalized guidelines.

Stockholders’ equity totaled $53.5 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $55.4 million at December 31, 2012, which represents a decline of 3.5%. Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased $7.6 million from 2012 as a result of unrealized losses on the available-for-sale securities portfolio. Common stock increased $0.7 million or 2.0 to $35.0 million at December 31, 2013 from $34.3 million at December 31, 2012. The Company maintains a dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan. The plan allows shareholders to purchase additional shares of Company stock. A benefit of the plan is to permit the shareholders to reinvest cash dividends as well as make supplemental purchases without the usual payment of brokerage commissions. During 2013, shareholders invested more than $742,000 through the dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan. These proceeds resulted in the issuance of 25,751 new shares at an average price of $28.58.

Countering the decline in other comprehensive income is growth of $5.0 million increase in retained earnings resulting from net income, less cash dividends paid of $2.0 million, or $1.04 per share, year-to-date.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Loss. The allowance for loan and lease loss (ALLL) represents the amount management estimates are adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the allowance, and all recoveries credited to it. The ALLL is established through a provision for loan losses, which is charged to operations. The provision is based on management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the ALLL, taking into account the overall risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments, the Company's loan loss experience, the impact of economic conditions on borrowers, and other relevant factors. The estimates used to determine the adequacy of the ALLL, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected on impaired loans, are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term. The total ALLL is a combination of a specific allowance for identified problem loans and a general allowance for homogeneous loan pools.

In 2013, the combination of a moderate strengthening in commercial real estate values and a less sluggish economy had an impact on the financial condition of commercial borrowers. Management is aware of signs that the local economic environment has stabilized and that certain industries within our defined market area have experienced improvement. Though economic improvement is evident, management is not certain of its longevity.

The allowance for loan and lease loss balance as of December 31, 2013 totaled $7.0 million representing a $0.7 million decrease from the end of 2012. For the year of 2013, the provision for loan losses was $0.2 million which represented a decrease of $2.0 million from the $2.2 million provided during 2012. The reduced provision for 2013 is reflective of the positive trend in the decrease in nonperforming loans. Asset quality is a high-priority in our overall business plan as it relates to long-term asset growth projections. During 2013, net charge-offs decreased by $0.3 million to $0.9 million compared to $1.2 million in 2012. Two key ratios to monitor asset quality performance are net charge-offs/average loans and the allowance for loan and lease loss/nonperforming loans. At year-end 2013, these ratios were 0.22% and 57.3%, respectively, compared to 0.30% and 54.8% in 2012.

The specific allowance incorporates the results of measuring impaired loans. The formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type, excluding loans for which a specific allowance has been determined. Loss factors are based on management's determination of the amounts necessary for concentrations and changes in mix and volume of the loan portfolio, and consideration of historical loss experience.

The non-specific allowance is determined based upon management's evaluation of existing economic and business conditions affecting the key lending areas of the Company and other conditions, such as new loan products, credit quality trends, collateral values, unique industry conditions within portfolio segments that existed as of the balance sheet date, and the impact of those conditions on the collectability of the loan portfolio. Management reviews these conditions quarterly. The non-specific allowance is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because it considers risk factors that may not be reflected in the historical loss factors.

Although management uses the best information available to make the determination of the adequacy of the ALLL at December 31, 2013, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. A downturn in the local economy and employment could result in increased levels of nonperforming assets and charge-offs, increased loan loss provisions, and reductions in income. Additionally, as an integral part of the examination process, bank regulatory agencies periodically review a Company's ALLL. The banking agencies could require the recognition of additions to the loan loss allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Nonperforming assets. Nonperforming assets includes nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings (TDRs), loans 90 days or more past due, assets purchased by EMORECO from EB, OREO, and repossessed assets. A loan is classified as nonaccrual when, in the opinion of management, there are serious doubts about collectability of interest and principal. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions, the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of principal and interest is doubtful. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied against principal according to management’s shadow accounting system.

TDRs are those loans which the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider. The Company has 38 TDRs with a total balance of $5.5 million as of December 31, 2013 compared to 49 TDRs totaling $4.7 million as of December 31, 2012. Nonperforming loans amounted to $12.3 million or 2.8% of total loans and $14.2 million or 3.5% of total loans at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Nonperforming loans secured by real estate totaled $11.4 million as of December 31, 2013, a decrease of $1.4 million from $12.8 million at December 31, 2012.

A major factor in determining the appropriateness of the ALLL is the type of collateral which secures the loans. Of the total nonperforming loans at December 31, 2013, 93.1% were secured by real estate. Although this does not insure against all losses, the real estate provides substantial recovery, even in a distressed-sale and declining-value environment. In response to the poor economic conditions which have eroded the performance of the Company’s loan portfolio, additional resources have been allocated to the loan workout process. The Company’s objective is to work with the borrower to minimize the burden of the debt service and to minimize the future loss exposure to the Company.

Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions, the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are recorded as income or applied against principal according to management's judgment as to the collectability of principal.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable the borrower will not repay the loan according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including all troubled debt restructurings. Management has determined that first mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans represent large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are to be collectively evaluated. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired. A loan is not impaired during a period of delay in payment if the Company expects to collect all amounts due, including interest accrued at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay. Management evaluates all loans identified as impaired individually. The Company estimates credit losses on impaired loans based on the present value of expected cash flows, or the fair value of the underlying collateral if loan repayment is expected to come from the sale or operation of the collateral. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when it is determined a realized loss has occurred. Until that time, an allowance for loan and lease loss is maintained for estimated losses.

Interest income that would have been recorded had these loans not been placed on nonaccrual status was $439,000 in 2013; $756,000 in 2012; and $859,000 in 2011. Management is not aware of any trends or uncertainties related to any loans classified as doubtful or substandard that might have a material effect on earnings, liquidity, or capital resources.

Changes in Results of Operations

2013 Results Compared to 2012 Results

General The Company posted net income of $7.0 million, compared to $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. On a per share basis, 2013 earnings were $3.47 per diluted share, representing an increase from the $3.28 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2012. The return on average equity for the year ended December 31, 2013, was 13.17% and the Company’s return on average assets was 1.06%. The $0.7 million or 11.9% improvement in net income between 2013 and 2012 can be attributed to a decrease in total interest expense of $1.2 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in total interest income of $568,000.

Net interest income Net interest income, which is the Company’s largest revenue source, is the difference between interest income on earning assets and interest expense paid on liabilities. Net interest income is affected by the changes in interest rates and the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income increased by $0.6 million in 2013 to $22.9 million compared to $22.3 million for 2012. This increase is the net result of a $1.2 million decrease in interest expense which was partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $568,000. Interest-earning assets averaged $637.0 million during 2013, unchanged since year-end 2012. The Company’s average interest-bearing liabilities decreased from $542.9 million in 2012 to $543.6 million in 2013.

The profit margin, or spread, on invested funds is a key performance measure. The Company monitors two key performance indicators — net interest spread and net interest margin. The net interest spread represents the difference between the average rate earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin represents the overall profit margin: net interest income as a percentage of total interest-earning assets. This performance indicator gives effect to interest earned for all investable funds including the substantial volume of interest-free funds. For 2013 the net interest margin, measured on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased to 3.85%, compared to 3.74% in 2012.

Interest income Interest income decreased $0.6 million to $28.2 million for 2013 which is attributable to a $0.7 million decrease in taxable interest on investment securities. The change in interest income on securities was the result of a decrease in the average balance of investment securities and a lower yield on the portfolio. The average balance of investment securities decreased by $0.6 million or 0.3% to $182.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $183.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The investment security yield fell to 3.90% for 2013, from 4.21% in 2012.

Interest and fees on loans increased $78,000 to $22.5 million for 2013, compared to $22.4 million for 2012. The average balance of loans increased $8.5 million to $415.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $407.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 which was offset by a decline in the loan yield to 5.41% for 2013, compared to 5.51% for 2012.

Interest expense Interest expense decreased $1.2 million or 18.6% to $5.3 million for 2013, compared with $6.5 million for 2012. This change in interest expense can be attributed to a 22 basis point decline in the rate paid on these liabilities, as well as a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2013 the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $0.7 million to $543.6 million as compared to $542.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Interest incurred on deposits declined by $1.0 million for the year from $5.7 million in 2012 to $4.7 million for year-end 2013. The change in deposit expense was due to a 20 basis point decline during the year. Interest expense incurred on FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, junior subordinated debt and other borrowings declined $0.2 million or 25.7% to $0.5 million for 2013, compared to $0.7 million for 2012. The decline was compounded by a 63 basis point decrease in the rate paid on these borrowings during the year.

Loan Loss Provision The provision for loan losses is an operating expense recorded to maintain the related balance sheet allowance for loan and lease loss at an amount considered adequate to cover probable losses incurred in the normal course of lending. The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $0.2 million compared to $2.2 million in 2012. The loan loss provision is based upon management's assessment of a variety of factors, including types and amounts of nonperforming loans, historical loss experience, collectability of collateral values and guaranties, pending legal action for collection of loans and related guaranties, and current economic conditions. The loan loss provision reflects management's judgment of the current period cost-of-credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio. Although management believes the loan loss provision has been sufficient to maintain an adequate allowance for loan and lease loss, actual loan losses could exceed the amounts that have been charged to operations. The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease loss to total loans decreased to 1.62% of total loans at December 31, 2013 compared to the 1.90% at December 31, 2012.

During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company created a new entity, EMORECO, Inc., which is designed to aid in troubled asset resolution. Since its inception, EMORECO has purchased $5.8 million of nonperforming assets from EB.

F-52

Non-interest income Non-interest income decreased $0.4 million or 54.3% to $3.1 million for 2013 compared to $3.5 million for 2012. The decrease is largely due to decreases in investment security gains of $0.6 million. This amount was partially offset by increases to service charges on deposit accounts and other income of $0.2 million each.

Non-interest expense Operating expenses increased $1.3 million, or 7.9% to $16.9 million for 2013 compared to $15.6 million for 2012. Salaries and benefits, occupancy expense, professional fees, and equipment expense increased $0.8 million, $0.3 million, $0.2 million, and $.02 million, or 11.0%, 28.4%, 23.8%, and 25.2%, respectively. These were partially offset by a decrease in losses on other real estate owned of $0.2 million, or 93% as a result of lower aggregate writedowns in the portfolio.

Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income taxes increased $0.3 million to $2.0 million for 2013, compared to $1.7 million in 2012. This increase was due to an increase in pretax income of $1.1 million during 2013. The Company’s effective federal income tax rate in 2013 was 22.0% compared to 20.9% in 2012.

Changes in Results of Operations

2012 Results Compared to 2011 Results

General The Company posted net income of $6.3 million, compared to $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. On a per share basis, 2012 earnings were $3.28 per diluted share, representing an increase from the $2.45 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2011. The return on average equity for the year ended December 31, 2012, was 11.98% and the Company’s return on average assets was 0.95%. The $2.2 million or 52.1% improvement in net income between 2012 and 2011 can be attributed to a decrease in total interest expense of $2.2 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in total interest income of $981,000.

Net interest income Net interest income, which is the Company’s largest revenue source, is the difference between interest income on earning assets and interest expense paid on liabilities. Net interest income is affected by the changes in interest rates and the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income increased by $1.2 million in 2012 to $22.3 million compared to $21.1 million for 2011. This increase is the net result of a $2.2 million decrease in interest expense which was partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $981,000. Interest-earning assets averaged $637.0 million during 2012 representing a $18.4 million or 3.0% increase since year-end 2011. The Company’s average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 5.5% from $548.2 million in 2011 to $542.9 million in 2012.

The profit margin, or spread, on invested funds is a key performance measure. The Company monitors two key performance indicators — net interest spread and net interest margin. The net interest spread represents the difference between the average rate earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin represents the overall profit margin: net interest income as a percentage of total interest-earning assets. This performance indicator gives effect to interest earned for all investable funds including the substantial volume of interest-free funds. For 2012 the net interest margin, measured on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased to 3.74%, compared to 3.65% in 2011.

Interest income Interest income decreased $981,000 to $28.7 million for 2012 which is attributable to a $1.7 million decrease in taxable interest on investment securities. The change in interest income on securities was the result of a decrease in the average balance of investment securities and a lower yield on the portfolio. The average balance of investment securities decreased by $12.0 million or 6.2% to $183.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $195.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The investment security yield fell to 4.21% for 2012, from 4.72% in 2011.

Interest and fees on loans increased $564,000 to $22.4 million for 2012, compared to $21.9 million for 2011. This increase is attributable to the growth of the average balance of loans of $23.3 million to $407.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $383.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 which was offset by a decline in the loan yield to 5.51% for 2012, compared to 5.69% for 2011.

Interest expense Interest expense decreased $2.2 million or 25.5% to $6.4 million for 2012, compared with $8.7 million for 2011. This change in interest expense can be attributed to a 39 basis point decline in the rate paid on these liabilities, as well as a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2012 the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $5.3 million to $542.9 million as compared to $548.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Interest incurred on deposits declined by $1.8 million for the year from $7.5 million in 2011 to $5.7 million for year-end 2012. The change in deposit expense was due to a 33 basis point decline during the year and a decrease in the average balance of $2.4 million in 2012. Interest expense incurred on FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, junior subordinated debt and other borrowings declined $466,000 or 39.3% to $719,000 for 2012, compared to $1.2 million for 2011. The decline was compounded by a 146 basis point decrease in the rate paid on these borrowings during the year.

Loan Loss Provision The provision for loan losses is an operating expense recorded to maintain the related balance sheet allowance for loan and lease loss at an amount considered adequate to cover probable losses incurred in the normal course of lending. The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $2.2 million compared to $3.1 million in 2011. The loan loss provision is based upon management's assessment of a variety of factors, including types and amounts of nonperforming loans, historical loss experience, collectability of collateral values and guaranties, pending legal action for collection of loans and related guaranties, and current economic conditions. The loan loss provision reflects management's judgment of the current period cost-of-credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio. Although management believes the loan loss provision has been sufficient to maintain an adequate allowance for loan and lease loss, actual loan losses could exceed the amounts that have been charged to operations.

The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease loss to total loans increased to 1.90% of total loans at December 31, 2012 compared to the 1.70% at December 31, 2011. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company created a new entity, EMORECO, Inc., which is designed to aid in troubled asset resolution. Since its inception, EMORECO has purchased $5.8 million of nonperforming assets from EB, $209,000 coming in 2012.

Non-interest income Non-interest income increased $1.2 million or 54.3% to $3.4 million for 2012 compared to $2.2 million for 2011. The increase is largely due to increases in investment security gains and service charges on deposit accounts of $783,000 and $253,000, respectively.

Non-interest expense Operating expenses increased $138,000, or .9% to $15.6 million for 2012 compared to $15.5 million for 2011. Equipment expense, professional fees, and Ohio franchise tax increased $203,000, $148,000, and $129,000, or 36.5%, 18.5%, and 28.0%, respectively. Other expenses increased to $3.7 million, up $397,000 or 11.9% compared to the 2011 balance of $3.3 million. Included in this amount are miscellaneous expenses related to other real estate owned which totaled $376,000. This increase of $226,000, a 150.6% increase over the prior year, stems largely from EMORECO activities relating to loans and OREO such as purchases from EB, write-downs, and OREO maintenance. FDIC insurance expense decreased $479,000, or 49.6%, as management continues to monitor the related accrual method. Losses on the sale of other real estate owned decreased $239,000 or 48.1% to $258,000 when compared to the prior year. This decrease reflects a normalizing of the Company’s sales of other real estate owned properties and the conservative approach in original valuation of these properties.

Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income taxes increased $1.1 million to $1.7 million for 2012, compared to a tax benefit of $596,000 in 2011. This increase was due to an increase in pretax income of $3.2 million during 2012. The Company’s effective federal income tax rate in 2012 was 20.9% compared to 12.6% in 2011.

Asset and Liability Management

The primary objective of the Company’s asset and liability management function is to maximize the Company’s net interest income while simultaneously maintaining an acceptable level of interest rate risk given the Company’s operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements, performance objectives and overall business focus. The principal determinant of the exposure of the Company’s earnings to interest rate risk is the timing difference between the re-pricing or maturity of interest-earning assets and the re-pricing or maturity of its interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s asset and liability management policies are designed to decrease interest rate sensitivity primarily by shortening the maturities of interest-earning assets while at the same time extending the maturities of interest-bearing liabilities. The Board of Directors of the Company continues to believe in a strong asset/liability management process in order to insulate the Company from material and prolonged increases in interest rates. Mortgage-backed securities generally increase the quality of the Company’s assets by virtue of the insurance or guarantees that back them, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Company.

The Company’s Board of Directors has established an Asset and Liability Management Committee consisting of outside directors and senior management. This committee, which meets quarterly, generally monitors various asset and liability management policies and strategies.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Simulation Analysis

The Company utilizes income simulation modeling in measuring its interest rate risk and managing its interest rate sensitivity. The Asset and Liability Management Committee of the Company believes the various rate scenarios of the simulation modeling enables the Company to more accurately evaluate and manage the exposure of interest rate fluctuations on net interest income, the yield curve, various loan and mortgage-backed security prepayments, and deposit decay assumptions.

Earnings simulation modeling and assumptions about the timing and volatility of cash flows are critical in net portfolio equity valuation analysis. Particularly important are the assumptions driving mortgage prepayments and expected attrition of the core deposit portfolios. These assumptions are based on the Company’s historical experience and industry standards and are applied consistently across all rate risk measures.

The Company has established the following guidelines for assessing interest rate risk:

Net interest income simulation- Given a 200 basis point parallel gradual increase or decrease in market interest rates, net interest income may not change by more than 10% for a one-year period.

Portfolio equity simulation- Portfolio equity is the net present value of the Company’s existing assets and liabilities. Given a 200 basis point immediate and permanent increase or decrease in market interest rates, portfolio equity may not correspondingly decrease or increase by more than 20% of stockholders’ equity.

The following table presents the simulated impact of a 200 basis point upward or downward shift of market interest rates on net interest income, and the change in portfolio equity. This analysis was done assuming the interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability levels at December 31, 2013 remained constant. The impact of the market rate movements was developed by simulating the effects of rates changing gradually over a one-year period from the December 31, 2013 levels for net interest income, and portfolio equity. The impact of market rate movements was developed by simulating the effects of an immediate and permanent change in rates at December 31, 2013 for portfolio equity:

	Increase			Decrease
	200 Basis Points			200 Basis Points
Net interest income - increase (decrease)		0.31	%		(0.50	)%
Portfolio equity - increase (decrease)		(11.80	)%		(1.48	)%

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. Liquidity management involves monitoring the ability to meet the cash flow needs of bank customers, such as borrowings or deposit withdrawals, as well as the Company’s own financial commitments. The principal sources of liquidity are net income, loan payments, maturing and principal reductions on securities and sales of securities available for sale, federal funds sold and cash and deposits with banks. Along with its liquid assets, the Company has additional sources of liquidity available to ensure adequate funds are available as needed. These include, but are not limited to, the purchase of federal funds, the ability to borrow funds under line of credit agreements with correspondent banks, a borrowing agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, Ohio and the adjustment of interest rates to obtain deposits. Management believes the Company has the capital adequacy, profitability and reputation to meet the current and projected needs of its customers.

Liquidity is managed based on factors including core deposits as a percentage of total deposits, the level of funding source diversification, the allocation and amount of deposits among deposit types, the short-term funding sources used to fund assets, the amount of non-deposit funding used to fund assets, the availability of unused funding sources, off-balance sheet obligations, the availability of assets readily converted to cash without undue loss, the amount of cash and liquid securities we hold, and the re-pricing characteristics and maturities of our assets when compared to the re-pricing characteristics of our liabilities and other factors.

The Company's liquid assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, which include investments in very short-term investments (i.e., federal funds sold), and investment securities classified as available for sale. The level of these assets is dependent on the Company's operating, investing, and financing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $26.2 million or 4.0% of total assets while investment securities classified as available for sale totaled $157.1 million or 24.3% of total assets. Management believes that the liquidity needs of the Company are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional funding sources, FHLB advances, junior subordinated debt, and the portion of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year. These sources of funds will enable the Company to meet cash obligations and off-balance sheet commitments as they come due.

Operating activities provided net cash of $10.1 million, $10.3 million, and $9.1 million for 2013, 2012, and 2010, respectively, generated principally from net income of $7.0 million, $6.3 million, and $4.1 million in each of these respective periods.

Investing activities used $6.5 million which consisted primarily of investment activity and loan originations. The cash usages primarily consisted of investment purchases of $25.8 million and loan increases of $30.1 million. Partially offsetting the usage are proceeds from repayments and maturities and proceeds from sale of securities of $25.4 million and $25.1 million, respectively. For the same period ended 2012, investing activities used $8.0 million which consisted primarily of investment activity and loan originations. The cash usages primarily consisted of investment purchases of $83.4 million and loan increases of $8.7 million. Partially offsetting the usage are proceeds from repayments and maturities and proceeds from sale of securities of $50.9 million and $33.0 million, respectively. During the same period ended 2010, investing activities used $19.4 million. These cash usages primarily consisted of loan increases of $33.0 million, as well as investment purchases of $80.1 million. Partially offsetting the usage of investment activities is $69.3 million of proceeds from investment security maturities and repayments.

Financing activities consist of the solicitation and repayment of customer deposits, borrowings and repayments, treasury stock activity, and the payment of dividends. During 2013, net cash used for financing activities totaled $23.0 million, principally derived from a decrease in deposit accounts of $24.5 million and partially offset by $4.3 million increase in short-term borrowings. During 2012, net cash provided by financing activities totaled $8.7 million, principally derived from an increase in deposit accounts of $12.4 million and offset by $3.9 million to repay FHLB borrowings. During the same period ended 2010, net cash provided by financing activities totaled $14.0 million, principally derived from an increase in deposit accounts of $15.7 million and offset by $2.5 million to repay FHLB borrowings.

Liquidity may be adversely affected by many circumstances, including unexpected deposit outflows and increased draws on lines of credit. Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the desirable level based in part on the Company's commitment to make loans and management's assessment of the Company's ability to generate funds. The Company anticipates having sufficient liquidity to satisfy estimated short and long-term funding needs.

Capital Resources. The Company's primary source of capital is retained earnings. Historically, the Company has generated net retained income to support normal growth and expansion. Management has developed a capital planning policy to not only ensure regulatory compliance but capital adequacy for future expansion.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency (as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 5), or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by management or employees in the normal course by management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm because section 989G of the Dodd Frank Act exempts smaller reporting companies from the requirement of an attestation by registered public accountants concerning internal controls over financial reporting.
