Note 23.     Acquisition of Noncontrolling Interest in m2 Lease Funds

On August 27, 2012, the Company’s largest subsidiary bank, QCBT, entered into an amendment to the operating agreement of m2 and purchased the remaining 20% noncontrolling interest in m2 for $4,501,442. The purchase price and related acquisition costs exceeded the book value by $2,133,417. This excess was reflected as a reduction in additional paid in capital on the Company’s consolidated financial statements until the final payout in 2015. The acquisition was structured in two payments with the initial payment of $1,653,755 made on September 11, 2012 and the final payment of $3,307,509 due in September 2015. QCBT calculated the present value of this future payment using a discount rate of 5% and recorded a resulting liability of $2,847,687. QCBT accreted the discount of $459,822 using the effective yield method over the three year period to the final payment date. Accretion totaled $80,820, $155,716 and $148,137 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The liability related to the final payment due totaled $3,199,298 and $3,043,582 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The final payment made in 2015 eliminated any further liability.

In conjunction with the purchase agreement, the Company also entered into an agreement with the Chief Executive Officer and former 20% owner of m2, whereby he was provided additional consideration equal to 20% of the earnings of m2 for the period from September 2012 through the earlier of August 2015 or his separation from service. The payment under this arrangement was also due in September 2015. Because the payment was contingent upon future service, QCBT was accruing the liability and related compensation expense over the service period. Expense totaled $593,611, $701,634, $725,483 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The liability related to this future payment totaled $1,622,832 and $921,198 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The final payment made in 2015 eliminated any further liability.
