On November 30, 2019, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and transferred substantially all of the deposits and certain other liabilities of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, RB&T. The financial results of RB&T prior to its sale are included in this report.  See Note 2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for additional information about the sale.

Recent accounting developments:  In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.  Under the standard, assets measured at amortized cost (including loans, leases and AFS securities) will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected.  Rather than the “incurred” model that is currently being utilized, the standard will require the use of a forward-looking approach to recognizing all expected credit losses at the beginning of an asset’s life.  For public companies, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including items periods within those fiscal years. On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act, a stimulus package designed in response to the economic disruption created by COVID-19, was signed into law.  The CARES Act includes provisions that, if elected,  temporarily delay the required implementation date of ASU 2016-13.  Section 4014 of the CARES Act stipulates that no insured depository institution, bank holding company, or affiliate will be required to comply with ASU 2016-13, beginning on the date of the enactment, March 27, 2020 until the earlier of the two following dates: (1) the date on which the national emergency related to the COVID-19 outbreak is terminated or (2) December 31, 2020.The Company has elected to defer its implementation of ASU 2016-13 as allowed by the CARES Act. The Company has developed a CECL allowance model which calculates allowances over the life of the loan and is largely driven by portfolio characteristics, risk-grading, economic outlook, and other key methodology assumptions.  Those assumptions are based upon the existing probability of default and loss given default framework.  The Company will utilize economic and other forecasts over a four quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period and then fully revert back to average historical losses.  The Company’s credit administration team will periodically refine the model as needed and is running parallel calculations. The Company anticipates increases in the allowance for credit losses on longer dated portfolios and decreases in the shorter dated portfolios.  The Company estimates a $7 million and  $10 million increase in the allowance for estimated losses on loans/leases upon adoption of CECL at January 1, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The Company is in the process of finalizing the review of the most recent model run and finalizing assumptions including qualitative adjustments and economic forecasts. 

Risks and Uncertainties:On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 11, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic.  Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. COVID-19 and actions taken to mitigate the spread of it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted to, among other things, provide emergency assistance for individuals, families and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.The Company currently expects that the COVID-19 pandemic and the specific developments referred to above will have a significant impact on its business.  In particular, the Company anticipates that a significant portion of the subsidiary banks’ borrowers in the hotel, restaurant, entertainment and retail industries will continue to endure significant economic distress, and could adversely affect their ability and willingness to repay existing indebtedness, and could adversely impact the value of collateral pledged to the banks.  These developments, together with economic conditions generally, are also expected to impact the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio, particularly with respect to real estate with exposure to these industries, the Company’s equipment leasing business and loan portfolio, the Company’s consumer loan business and loan portfolio, and the value of certain collateral securing the Company’s loans.  As a result,

the Company anticipates that its financial condition, capital levels, asset quality and results of operations will be adversely affected, as described in further detail on this report.

Due to the economic impact that COVID-19 has had on the Company, management concluded that factors such as the decline in macroeconomic conditions have led to the occurrence of a triggering event and therefore an interim impairment test over goodwill was performed as of March 31, 2020.  When such an assessment is performed, should the Company conclude that all or a portion of goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings.  Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital.  Based upon the results of the interim goodwill assessment, the Company concluded that an impairment did not exist as of the time of the assessment.

At March 31, 2020, the investment portfolio included 581 securities. Of this number, 53 securities were in an unrealized loss position. The aggregate losses of these securities totaled approximately 0.8% of the total amortized cost of the portfolio. Of these 53 securities, five securities had an unrealized loss for twelve months or more. Asset-backed securities are comprised of collateralized loan obligations, which are debt securities backed by pools of senior secured commercial loans to a diverse group of companies across a broad spectrum of industries. At March 31, 2020, the Company only owned collateralized loan obligations that were AAA rated. All of the debt securities in unrealized loss positions are considered acceptable credit risks. Based upon an evaluation of the available evidence, including the recent changes in market rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these debt securities are temporary. In addition, the Company lacks the intent to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell these debt securities before their anticipated recovery.

The Company did not recognize OTTI on any investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

The Company held investments in general obligation bonds in 21 states, including six states in which the aggregate fair value exceeded $5.0 million. The Company held investments in revenue bonds in 18 states, including seven states in which the aggregate fair value exceeded $5.0 million.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company's municipal securities portfolios were comprised of general obligation bonds issued by 93 issuers with fair values totaling $77.2 million and revenue bonds issued by 154 issuers, primarily consisting of states, counties, towns, villages and school districts with fair values totaling $396.6 million.

exceeded 5% of the Company’s stockholders’ equity. The issuer’s financial condition is strong and the source of repayment is diversified. The Company monitors the investment and concentration closely. Of the general obligation and revenue bonds in the Company's portfolio, the majority are unrated bonds that represent small, private issuances. All unrated bonds were underwritten according to loan underwriting standards and have an average loan risk rating of 2, indicating very high quality. Additionally, many of these bonds are funding essential municipal services such as water, sewer, education, and medical facilities.

The Company's municipal securities are owned by each of the four charters, whose investment policies set forth limits for various subcategories within the municipal securities portfolio. Each charter is monitored individually, and as of March 31, 2020, all were well within policy limitations approved by the board of directors. Policy limits are calculated as a percentage of each charter's total risk-based capital.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company's standard monitoring of its municipal securities portfolio had not uncovered any facts or circumstances resulting in significantly different credit ratings than those assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or in the case of unrated bonds, the rating assigned using the credit underwriting standards.

*     Includes equipment financing agreements outstanding at m2, totaling $145.3 million and $142.0 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

**   Management performs an evaluation of the estimated unguaranteed residual values of leased assets on an annual basis, at a minimum. The evaluation consists of discussions with reputable and current vendors, which is combined with management's expertise and understanding of the current states of particular industries to determine informal valuations of the equipment. As necessary and where available, management will utilize valuations by independent appraisers. The large majority of leases with residual values contain a lease options rider, which requires the lessee to pay the residual value directly, finance the payment of the residual value, or extend the lease term to pay the residual value. In these cases, the residual value is protected and the risk of loss is minimal.

*** Includes residential real estate loans held for sale totaling $4.0 million and $3.7 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Impaired loans/leases for which no allowance has been provided have adequate collateral, based on management’s current estimates.

For C&I and CRE loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator consists of internally assigned risk ratings.  Each commercial loan is assigned a risk rating upon origination. The risk rating is reviewed every 15 months, at a minimum, and on an as-needed basis depending on the specific circumstances of the loan.

For certain C&I loans (equipment financing agreements), direct financing leases, residential real estate loans, and installment and other consumer loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator is performance determined by delinquency status.  Delinquency status is updated daily by the Company’s loan system.

Of the loans restructured during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, none were on nonaccrual.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, one of the Company's TDRs redefaulted within 12 months subsequent to restructure, where default is defined as delinquency of 90 days or more and/or placement on nonaccrual status. This TDR was related to one customer whose lease was restructured in the fourth quarter of 2019 with pre-modification balances totaling $55 thousand. 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019,noneof the Company's TDRs redefaulted within 12 months subsequent to restructure, where default is defined as delinquency of 90 days or more and/or placement on nonaccrual status.

Not included in the table above, the Company had four TDRs that were restructured and charged off for the three months ended March 31, 2020, totaling $296 thousand. The Company had two TDRs that were restructured and charged off for the three months ended March 31, 2019, totaling $56 thousand.

On March 22, 2020, federal banking regulators issued an interagency statement that included guidance on their approach for the accounting of loan modifications in light of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The guidance interprets current accounting standards and indicates that a lender can conclude that a borrower is not experiencing financial difficulty if short-term modifications are made in response to COVID-19, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms or other delays in payment that are insignificant related to the loans in which the borrower is less than 30 days past due on its contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. The agencies confirmed in working with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs.

NOTE 4 – DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company uses interest rate swap and cap instruments to manage interest rate risk related to the variability of interest payments due to changes in interest rates.

The Company entered into interest rate caps in December 2019 to hedge against the risk of rising interest rates on liabilities.  The liabilities consist of $375.0 million of deposits and the benchmark rates hedged vary at 1-month LIBOR, 3-month LIBOR and Prime. The interest rate caps are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815.  An initial premium of $4.3 million was paid upfront for the caps executed in 2019.  The details of the interest rate caps are as follows:

Changes in fair values of derivative financial instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent that they are included in the assessment of effectiveness, are recorded as a component of AOCI.

The Company has also entered into interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative contracts relate to transactions in which the Company enters into an interest rate swap with a customer while at the same time entering into an equal and offsetting interest rate swap with a third party financial institution. Additionally, the Company receives an upfront fee from the counterparty, dependent upon the pricing that is recognized upon receipt from the counterparty.  Because the Company acts as an intermediary for the customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts, for the most part, offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations.

The Company may be exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its interest rate derivative agreements.  The Company assesses the credit risk of its financial institution counterparties by monitoring

publicly available credit rating and financial information.  Additionally, the Company enters into interest rate derivatives only with primary and highly rated counterparties, and uses ISDA master agreements,  central clearing mechanisms and counterparty limits.  The ISDA master agreements contain bilateral collateral agreements with the amount of collateral to be posted generally governed by the settlement value of outstanding swaps.  The Company manages the risk of default by its borrower counterparties through its normal loan underwriting and credit monitoring policies and procedures.  The Company does not currently anticipate any losses from failure of interest rate derivative counterparties to honor their obligations.

Interest rate swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments are summarized as follows:

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE

Accounting guidance on fair value measurement uses a hierarchy intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy includes three levels and is based upon the valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities. The three levels are as follows:

· Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in markets;

· Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

· Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis comprise the following at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

			FairValue Measurements at Reporting Date Using
			Quoted Prices		Significant
			in Active		Other		Significant
			Markets for		Observable		Unobservable

The securities AFS portfolio consists of securities whereby the Company obtains fair values from an independent pricing service. The fair values are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, LIBOR yield curve, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2 inputs).

Interest rate caps are used for the purpose of hedging interest rate risk.  The interest rate caps are further described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  The fair values are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data for derivative instruments with similar structures (Level 2 inputs).

Interest rate swaps are executed for select commercial customers. The interest rate swaps are further described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair values are determined by comparing the contract rate on the swap with the then-current market rate for the remaining term of the transaction (Level 2 inputs).

Interest rate swaps are also used for the purpose of hedging interest rate risk on FHLB advances, brokered deposits and junior subordinated debt. The interest rate swaps are further described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair values are determined by comparing the contract rate on the swap with the then-current market rate for the remaining term of the transaction (Level 2 inputs).

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis comprise the following at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
			Quoted Prices		Significant

Impaired loans/leases are evaluated and valued at the time the loan/lease is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or fair value, and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans/leases. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets, including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable, and is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. Appraised and reported values are discounted based on management's historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management's expertise and knowledge of the client and client's business.

OREO in the table above consists of property acquired through foreclosures and settlements of loans. Property acquired is carried at the estimated fair value of the property, less disposal costs, and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  The estimated fair value of the property is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. Appraised and reported values are discounted based on management's historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management's expertise and knowledge of the property.

NOTE 7 – BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Selected financial and descriptive information is required to be disclosed for reportable operating segments, applying a “management perspective” as the basis for identifying reportable segments. The management perspective is determined by the view that management takes of the segments within the Company when making operating decisions, allocating resources, and measuring performance. The segments of the Company have been defined by the structure of the Company's internal organization, focusing on the financial information that the Company's operating decision-makers routinely use to make decisions about operating matters.

The Company's primary segment, Commercial Banking, is geographically divided by markets into the secondary segments comprised of the four held for investment subsidiary banks wholly owned by the Company:  QCBT, CRBT, CSB, and SFC Bank. Each of these secondary segments offers similar products and services, but is managed separately due to different pricing, product demand, and consumer markets. Each offers commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans and deposit services.

The Company's Wealth Management segment represents the trust, asset management, investment management and advisory services offered at the Company's subsidiary banks and the Bates Companies in aggregate. This segment generates income primarily from fees charged based on assets under administration for corporate and personal trusts, custodial services, and investments managed. No assets of the subsidiary banks have been allocated to the Wealth Management segment.

The Company's All Other segment includes the corporate operations of the parent and operations of all other consolidated subsidiaries and/or defined operating segments that fall below the segment reporting thresholds.  The financial results for RB&T prior to the sale of the majority of its assets and liabilities at November 30, 2019 are also included in the Company’s All Other Segment as are the assets held for sale at March 31, 2020.

Selected financial information on the Company's business segments is presented as follows as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

NOTE 8 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and subsidiary banks' financial statements.

Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the subsidiary banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the subsidiary banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total common equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets, each as defined by regulation.  Management believes, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, that the Company and the subsidiary banks met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

IMPACT OF COVID-19

The progression of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States has had an adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and is expected to have a complex and significant adverse impact on the economy, the banking industry and the Company in future fiscal periods, all subject to a high degree of uncertainty.

Effects on the Company’s Market Areas

The Company offers commercial and consumer banking products and services primarily in Illinois, Missouri and Iowa.  In Illinois, Governor J.B Pritzker has ordered individuals to stay at home and non-essential businesses to cease all activities, in each case subject to limited exceptions.  This order went into effect on March 21, 2020 and is currently effective through

May 30, 2020.  In Missouri, Governor Mike Parson has ordered individuals to stay at home, and imposed limitations on gathering sizes applicable to businesses.  This order went into effect on April 3, 2020 and expired May 3, 2020, with the gradual reopening of certain businesses.  In Iowa, Governor Kim Reynolds recently issued a series of orders, including orders for many retail establishments to close and imposing limitations on gathering sizes in certain parts of the state.  Such orders are generally currently effective through May 15, 2020.  All of the subsidiary banks’ branches have been permitted to remain open under the orders, although the banks have maintained limited lobby access at all branches since March 13, 2020. 

Each state has experienced rapidly increasing unemployment levels as a result of the curtailment of business activities, rising from an average of 4.0% in Illinois in January 2020 to an average of 4.6% in March 2020, according to the Illinois Department of Employment Security. Unemployment rose from an average of 3.5% in Missouri in January 2020 to 4.5% in March 2020, according to the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. In Iowa, unemployment rose from an average of 2.8% in January 2020 to 3.7% in March 2020, according to the Iowa Workforce Development.  These levels are expected to rise further.  To date, many of the public health and economic effects of COVID-19 have been concentrated in large cities, but we anticipate that these effects will occur on a more delayed basis in smaller communities, where the Company’s banking operations are focused.

Policy and Regulatory Developments

Federal, state and local governments and regulatory authorities have enacted and issued a range of policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the following:

· The Federal Reserve decreased the range for the Federal Funds Target Rate by 0.50% on March 3, 2020, and by another 1.0% on March 16, 2020, reaching a current range of 0.0 – 0.25%.

· On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the CARES Act, which established a $2.0 trillion economic stimulus package, which provides for cash payments to individuals, supplemental unemployment insurance benefits and a $349 billion loan program administered through the SBA, referred to as the PPP.  On April 24, 2020, President Trump signed the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act, which authorized an additional $310 billion of PPP loans. Under the PPP, small businesses, sole proprietorships, independent contractors and self-employed individuals may apply for loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders that enroll in the program, subject to limitations and eligibility criteria.  The subsidiary banks are participating as lenders in the PPP.

· In addition, the CARES Act provides financial institutions the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under GAAP related to TDRs for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19.  See Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on TDRs.

· On April 7, 2020, federal banking regulators issued a revised Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions, which, among other things, encouraged financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19, and stated that institutions generally do not need to categorize COVID-19-related modifications as TDRs, and the agencies will not direct supervised institutions to automatically categorize all COVID-19 related loan modifications as TDRs.  See Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on TDRs.

· On April 9, 2020, the Federal Reserve announced additional measures aimed at supporting small and midsized business, as well as state and local governments impacted by COVID-19. The Federal Reserve announced the Main Street Business Lending Program, which establishes two new loan facilities intended to facilitate lending to small and midsized businesses: the MSNLF and the MSELF. MSNLF loans are unsecured term loans originated on or after April 8, 2020, while MSELF loans are provided as upsized

34

Part I

Item 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

tranches of existing loans originated before April 8, 2020. The combined size of the program will be up to $600 billion. The program is designed for businesses with up to 10,000 employees or $2.5 billion in 2019 revenues. To obtain a loan, borrowers must confirm that they are seeking financial support because of COVID-19 and that they will not use proceeds from the loan to pay off debt. The Federal Reserve has provided additional funding to banks offering PPP loans to struggling small businesses. Lenders participating in the PPP will be able to exclude loans financed by the facility from their leverage ratio. In addition, the Federal Reserve created a Municipal Liquidity Facility to support state and local governments with up to $500 billion in lending, with the Treasury Department backing $35 billion for the facility using funds appropriated by the CARES Act. The facility will make short-term financing available to cities with a population of more than one million or counties with a population of greater than two million. The Federal Reserve expanded both the size and scope its Primary and Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facilities to support up to $750 billion in credit to corporate debt issuers. This will allow companies that were investment grade before the onset of COVID-19 but then subsequently downgraded after March 22, 2020 to gain access to such a facility. Finally, the Federal Reserve announced that its Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility will be scaled up in scope to include the triple A-rated tranche of commercial mortgage-backed securities and newly issued collateralized loan obligations. The size of the facility is $100 billion.

Effects on the Company’s Business

The Company currently expects that the COVID-19 pandemic and the specific developments referred to above will have a significant impact on its business.  In particular, the Company anticipates that a significant portion of the subsidiary banks’ borrowers in the hotel, restaurant, entertainment and retail industries will continue to endure significant economic distress, and could adversely affect their ability and willingness to repay existing indebtedness, and could adversely impact the value of collateral pledged to the banks.  These developments, together with economic conditions generally, are also expected to impact the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio, particularly with respect to real estate with exposure to these industries, the Company’s equipment leasing business and loan portfolio, the Company’s consumer loan business and loan portfolio, and the value of certain collateral securing the Company’s loans.  In addition, the Company’s loan and lease growth could slow exclusive of the PPP loans, while deposit growth could accelerate as businesses and consumers navigate the impact.  As a result, the Company anticipates that its financial condition, capital levels, asset quality and results of operations will be adversely affected, as described in further detail below.

The Company’s Response

The Company has taken numerous steps in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the following:

· The Company implemented a loan relief program offering to extend qualifying customers’ payments for 90 days.  The program has provided 2,158 modifications of loans totaling $497.0 million to commercial and consumer clients as of May 1, 2020.

· As the Company moved to limited lobby access to protect the health and safety of its employees and clients, digital collaboration and digital banking applications have become business critical.  The Company is using virtual meetings to stay connected with its clients and customers are leveraging the Company’s mobile banking capabilities.  The Company’s digital communications tool is a modern enterprise video application, with an easy, reliable and secure cloud platform for video and audio conferencing, chat and web conferencing across mobile, desktop and room systems.   It has enabled the Company to continue to collaborate in real-time across the enterprise and to meet face-to-face with our clients while working remotely to adhere to the Center for Disease Control’s physical distancing guidelines.  Clients are using the Company’s existing mobile banking and mobile payment capabilities including: on-line banking, remote deposit, on-line retail loan applications and person-to-person payment applications that are available across multiple form factors.  These applications have enabled customers to engage with the Company virtually to meet their community banking needs.  The Company proactively reached out to customers to make sure that they knew how to use these tools and increased their mobile deposit limits to enable expanded use of remote deposit

features.  The Company also worked with primary digital banking solution providers to make adjustments to their hosting capabilities to accommodate the unprecedented levels of volume through this digital channel.

· The Company began to execute on its Public Emergency Preparedness Plan (“PEP”) mid-February.  The PEP was created to coordinate resources in an organized manner to respond to any public emergency that may significantly affect staffing. One of the situations specifically called out in the plan is a health-related event such as a specific threat of influenza, or other disease, creating pandemic conditions.  This program is an important part of the Company’s Business Continuity Program, which specifically addresses rapid recovery from an occurrence that would disable any entity for a period exceeding 48 hours.  The goal of the plan is to protect employees, customers, facilities, systems, property and operations during any public emergency and maintain normal operations, to the extent possible, consistent with those goals. In the event that normal operations cannot be maintained, the goals will be to maximize the continuity of the essential services to our customers, protect the health and safety of employees and customers, and minimize adverse financial impact to our institutions. Finally, the plan will provide for a return to full operations and services as quickly as possible.  The plan was fully implemented during the first two weeks of March and the following strategies were executed:

o Emergency Preparedness Response Team critical members were identified to direct the Company’s planning, preparedness, training and response to lead the recovery effort with the COVID-19 pandemic;

o increased cash reserves at all charters were established and the charters began monitoring cash outflows;

o IT testing began to ensure the Company’s systems were capable of handling traffic generated by employees working from home;

o reviewed cross training lists for each department in case of staff shortages;

o split specific departments into shifts so not all employees were working together at the same time; and

o communication sites were activated in case emergency information needed to be communicated to employees.

· The PPP was approved as part of the CARES Act and authorized up to $349 billion in forgivable loans to small businesses to pay their employees and for other operating expenses, during the COVID-19 crisis, and an additional $310 billion of loans were authorized to be made under the PPP in a second phase of funding. The Company has processed 1,627 loans for a total of $355.6 million as of May 1, 2020.  The Company is continuing to take PPP applications and is currently processing new loans under newly approved additional funding.

· The Company has implemented a number of actions to support a healthy workforce, including:

o adopting alternative work practices such as working in shifts, social distancing in our facilities and adding remote work options for approximately half of our workforce;

o discontinued business travel, large events and meetings; and

o utilizing online meeting platforms.

· On February 28, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, permitting the repurchase of up to 800,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock, or approximately 5% of the outstanding shares as of December 31, 2019.  As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company will not be permitted to make capital distributions (including for dividends and repurchases of stock) or pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers without restriction if the Company does not maintain 2.5% in Common Equity Tier 1 Capital attributable to a capital conservation buffer. The Company suspended the repurchase of shares on March 16, 2020 due to the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

Following are some noteworthy changes in the Company's financial results:

· Net interest income in the first quarter of 2020 was down 6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.  Comparisons of net interest income were impacted by the sale of RB&T on November 30, 2019 and varying levels of acquisition-related net accretion.  While the sale of RB&T reduced average earning assets by 5.3% on a linked-quarter basis, net interest income was nearly static due to a significant increase in net interest margin in the first quarter of 2020. Net interest income increased 2% compared to the first quarter of 2019.  The increase was primarily due to strong loan growth during the full year 2019.

· Provision expense in the first quarter of 2020 increased $7.4 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.  Provision expense increased $6.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to increased qualitative allocations in response to deteriorating economic conditions as related to the effects of COVID-19. See the Provision for Loan Lease Losses section of this report for additional details.

· Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2020 decreased 49% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 primarily due to a gain on sale of assets and liabilities of RB&T totaling $12.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Excluding this, noninterest income increased 27% compared to the first quarter of 2019.  This increase was primarily attributable to higher swap fee income.

· Noninterest expense decreased 32% in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Salaries and employee benefits were $18.5 million in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to $24.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 primarily due to reduced bonus and incentive compensation as a result of the impact of COVID-19.  Post-acquisition, compensation, transition and integration costs were $151 thousand in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 primarily due to data processing conversion costs at SFC Bank in the fourth quarter of 2019.  Disposition costs were $517 thousand in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 primarily due to the sale of RB&T occurring in the fourth quarter of 2019.  The Company had $3.0 million of goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter related to the Bates Companies due to the exit of the Rockford market with the sale of RB&T.  Noninterest expense decreased 3% compared to the first quarter of 2019.

· Federal and state income tax expense in the first quarter of 2020 decreased 71% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Federal and state income tax expense increased 33% compared to the first quarter of 2019. See the “Income Taxes” section of this report for additional details on these increases.

STRATEGIC FINANCIAL METRICS

The Company has established certain strategic financial metrics by which it manages its business and measures its performance. The goals are periodically updated to reflect changes in business developments. While the Company is determined to work prudently to achieve these metrics, there is no assurance that they will be met. Moreover, the Company's ability to achieve these metrics will be affected by the factors discussed under “Forward Looking Statements” as well as the factors detailed in the “Risk Factors” section included under Item 1A. of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company's long-term strategic financial metrics are as follows:

· Organic loan and lease growth of 9% per year, funded by core deposits;

· Grow fee-based income by at least 6% per year; and

· Limit our annual operating expense growth to 5% per year.

The following table shows the evaluation of the Company’s strategic financial metrics:

			For the Quarter Ending
Strategic Financial Metric	Key Metric	Target	March 31, 2020*
Loans and leases growth organically	Loans and leases growth	> 9% annually		1.6	%
Fee income growth	Fee income growth	> 6% annually		(8.3)	%
Improve operational efficiencies and hold noninterest expense growth	Noninterest expense growth	< 5% annually		(13.7)	%

* Ratios and amounts provided for these measurements represent year-to-date actual amounts for the respective period that are then annualized for   comparison.  The calculations provided exclude non-core noninterest income and noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

It should be noted that these initiatives are long-term targets.  Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company may not be able to achieve these goals for the full year 2020.

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

The Company has taken the following actions during the first quarter of 2020 to support its corporate strategy:

· The Company grew loans and leases in the first quarter of 2020 by 1.6% on an annualized basis. Loan and lease growth was adversely impacted by scheduled payoffs early in the quarter and reduced economic activity across all markets as a result of the voluntary or mandatory closures of public venues, businesses, schools and government offices due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

· Correspondent banking has continued to be a core line of business for the Company. The Company is competitively positioned with experienced staff, software systems and processes to continue growing in the four states currently served – Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Missouri. The Company acts as the correspondent bank for 195 downstream banks with average total noninterest bearing deposits of $185.6 million and average total interest bearing deposits of $355.4 million during the first three months of 2020. By comparison, the Company acted as the correspondent bank for 196 downstream banks with average total noninterest bearing deposits of $170.4 million and average total interest bearing deposits of $286.1 million during the first three months of 2019. This line of business provides a strong source of noninterest bearing and interest bearing deposits, fee income, high-quality loan participations and bank stock loans.

· As a result of the relatively low interest rate environment including a flat to inverted yield curve, the Company has focused on executing interest rate swaps on select commercial loans. The interest rate swaps allow commercial borrowers to pay a fixed interest rate while the Company receives a variable interest rate as well as an upfront fee dependent on the pricing. The Company will continue to review opportunities to execute these swaps at all of its subsidiary banks as appropriate for the borrowers and the Company. Swap fee income totaled $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

· Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2020 totaled $31.4 million as compared to $32.4 million in the first quarter of 2019.  The decrease was primarily due to a decline in salaries and employee benefits as a result of reduced bonus and incentive compensation due to the impact of COVID-19 and the sale of RB&T.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

The following table presents certain non-GAAP financial measures related to the “TCE/TA ratio”, “adjusted net income”, “adjusted EPS”, “adjusted ROAA”, “pre-provision/pre-tax adjusted income”, “NIM (TEY)”, “adjusted NIM”, and “efficiency ratio”. In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, all non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as follows:

· TCE/TA ratio (non-GAAP) is reconciled to stockholders' equity and total assets;

· Adjusted net income, adjusted EPS and adjusted ROAA (all non-GAAP measures) are reconciled to net income;

· Pre-provision/Pre-tax adjusted income is reconciled to net income;

· NIM (TEY) (non-GAAP) and adjusted NIM (non-GAAP) are reconciled to NIM; and

· Efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) is reconciled to noninterest expense, net interest income and noninterest income.

The TCE/TA non-GAAP ratio has been a focus for investors and management believes that this ratio may assist investors in analyzing the Company's capital position without regard to the effects of intangible assets.

The following tables also include several “adjusted” non-GAAP measurements of financial performance. The Company's management believes that these measures are important to investors as they exclude non-recurring income and expense items; therefore, they provide a better comparison for analysis and may provide a better indicator of future performance.

The pre-provision/pre-tax adjusted income is a measurement of the Company’s financial performance excluding provision and income taxes as well as non-recurring income and expense items.  The Company’s management believes this financial measure is important to investors as provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was materially higher due to the impact of COVID-19 as well as its impact on income taxes.  By excluding the provision and income taxes as well as non-recurring income and expense items, the investor is provided a better comparison to prior periods for analysis.

NIM (TEY) is a financial measure that the Company's management utilizes to take into account the tax benefit associated with certain tax-exempt loans and securities. It is standard industry practice to measure net interest margin using tax-equivalent measures. In addition, the Company calculates NIM without the impact of acquisition accounting net accretion (adjusted NIM), as accretion amounts can fluctuate widely, making comparisons difficult.

The efficiency ratio is a ratio that management utilizes to compare the Company to its peers. It is a standard ratio used to calculate overhead as a percentage of revenue in the banking industry and is widely utilized by investors.

NET INTEREST INCOME - (TAX EQUIVALENT BASIS)   

Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased 2% to $39.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Excluding the tax equivalent adjustments, net interest income increased 2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Net interest income improved due to the following factors:

· Strong organic loan and deposit growth over the past 12 months;

· Decreased cost of funds; and

· Reduced borrowings.

A comparison of yields, spread and margin on a tax equivalent and GAAP basis is as follows:

	Tax Equivalent Basis						GAAP
	For the Quarter Ended						For the Quarter Ended
	March 31,		December 31,		March 31,		March 31,		December 31,		March 31,

NIM Excluding Acquisition Accounting Net Accretion	3.50	%	3.43	%	3.31	%	3.37	%	3.28	%	3.15	%

Acquisition accounting net accretion can fluctuate mostly depending on the payoff activity of the acquired loans.  In evaluating net interest income and NIM, it’s important to understand the impact of acquisition accounting net accretion when comparing periods. The above table reports NIM with and without the acquisition accounting net accretion to allow for more appropriate comparisons.  A comparison of acquisition accounting net accretion included in NIM is as follows:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

NIM on a tax equivalent basis was up 5 basis pointson a linked quarter basis.  Excluding acquisition accounting net accretion, NIM was up 7 basis points on a linked quarter basis.  The increase in net interest margin during the quarter was due to an 11 basis point decrease in the total cost of funds (due to both mix and rate).

The Company's management closely monitors and manages NIM. From a profitability standpoint, an important challenge for the Company's subsidiary banks and leasing company is focusing on quality growth in conjunction with the improvement of their NIMs. Management continually addresses this issue with pricing and other balance sheet

management strategies which include better loan pricing, reducing reliance on very rate-sensitive funding, closely managing deposit rate changes and finding additional ways to manage NIM through derivatives.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve decreased interest rates by a total of 150 basis points in March 2020.  These decreases impact the comparability of net interest income between 2019 and 2020.

The Company's average balances, interest income/expense, and rates earned/paid on major balance sheet categories, as well as the components of change in net interest income, are presented in the following tables:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred.

Based on its consideration of accounting policies that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, management has identified the following as critical accounting policies:

GOODWILL

The Company records all assets and liabilities purchased in an acquisition, including intangibles, at fair value.  Goodwill is not amortized but is subject, at a minimum, to annual tests for impairment.  In certain situations, interim impairment tests may be required if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. A more detailed discussion of this critical accounting policy can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Due to the economic impact that COVID-19 has had on the Company, management concluded that factors such as the decline in macroeconomic conditions have led to the occurrence of a triggering event and therefore an interim impairment test over goodwill was performed as of March 31, 2020.  When such an assessment is performed, should the Company conclude that all or a portion of goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be

44

Item 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

recorded to earnings.  Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital.  Based upon the results of the interim goodwill assessment, the Company concluded that an impairment did not exist as of the time of the assessment.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company incurred goodwill impairment expense of $500 thousand related to the Bates Companies.  This was the result of the announcement of a sale of the Bates Companies as discussed in Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

The Company's allowance methodology incorporates a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative, in establishing an allowance that management believes is appropriate at each reporting date. A more detailed discussion of this critical accounting policy can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Company believes the COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on the credit quality of its loan portfolio during the remainder of 2020. Disruption to the Company’s customers could result in increased loan delinquencies and defaults resulting in an increase in quantitative allocations. Management believes impaired loans may increase in the future as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, having a direct impact on the specific component of the allowance for loan and lease losses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income decreased 6%, comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the same period of 2019. This increase was primarily the result of a reduction in average yields on loans and leases and a decrease in average earning assets due to the sale of RB&T. 

Overall, the Company's average earning assets decreased 3%, comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2019. During the same time period, average gross loans and leases decreased 2%, while average investment securities decreased 6%. The decreases in average earning assets and average gross loans and leases were the result of the sale of RB&T.

The Company intends to continue to grow quality loans and leases as well as its private placement tax-exempt securities portfolio to maximize yield while minimizing credit and interest rate risk.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2020 decreased 26% from the first quarter of 2019.  The cost of funds on the Company’s average interest-bearing liabilities has decreased with the current rate environment.  During the last month of the first quarter, market interest rates fell as the Federal Reserve cut the Federal Funds rate by 150 bps to a range of 0%-0.25%. As a direct result, the Company’s interest expense declined modestly on a linked-quarter basis. 

The Company's management intends to continue to shift the mix of funding from wholesale funds to well-priced core deposits, including noninterest-bearing deposits. Continuing this trend is expected to strengthen the Company's franchise value, reduce funding costs and increase fee income opportunities through deposit service charges. The Company also increased short-term wholesale funding at the end of the quarter to quickly generate on-balance liquidity in an abundance of caution as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

PROVISION FOR LOAN/LEASE LOSSES

The Company’s provision for loan and lease losses totaled $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2020, up from $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in the provision for loan and lease losses was primarily due to increased qualitative allocations in response to deteriorating economic conditions related to the effects of COVID-19.

With the uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the economic impacts caused by the effects of COVID-19, the Company is not providing specific forward guidance on future provisions.  The Company does anticipate the provision to be elevated in future periods due to the broad reach of COVID-19 across many individuals and industries impacted.  The dramatic slowdown in economic activity will likely negatively impact the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio with increased levels of loan defaults.  The CARES Act provides significant resources for individuals and industries that could lessen the impact of COVID-19, in addition to the Company’s own loan relief programs.

The Company has elected to defer its implementation of CECL as allowed by the CARES Act. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

The provision is established based on a number of factors, including the Company's historical loss experience, delinquencies and charge-off trends, the local, state and national economies and risk associated with the loans/leases and securities in the portfolio as described in more detail in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section.

In accordance with GAAP for business combination accounting, acquired loans are recorded at fair value; therefore, no allowance is associated with such loans at acquisition. As acquired loans renew, the discount associated with those loans is eliminated and the Company must establish an allowance through provision. This provision, when coupled with net charge-offs of $2.1 million for the first three months of 2020, increased the Company's allowance to $42.2 million at March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, the Company's allowance to total loans/leases was 1.14%, which was up from 0.98% at December 31, 2019 and 1.08% at March 31, 2019. Management continues to evaluate the allowance needed on acquired loans factoring in the net remaining discount ($6.3 million and $10.4 million at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively).

The following table represents the current balance of loans to customers with concentrations in industries that management has deemed to have a higher risk of being impacted by COVID-19:

Total noninterest income	$	15,196	$	11,993	$	3,203	26.7	%

In recent years, the Company has been successful in expanding its wealth management client base. Trust department fees continue to be a significant contributor to noninterest income. However, assets under management decreased $474.7 million in the first three months of 2020 with the deteriorating economic conditions. With the decrease in assets under management, trust department fees decreased 7%, comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the same period of the prior year.  Income is generated primarily from fees charged based on assets under administration for corporate and personal trusts and for custodial services. The majority of the trust department fees are determined based on the value of the investments within the fully-managed trusts. The Company expects trust department fees to be negatively impacted during periods of significantly lower market valuations.

Investment advisory and management fees decreased 1%, comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the same period of the prior year.  Brokerage assets decreased $279.4 million in the first three months of 2020 with the deteriorating economic conditions. Similar to trust department fees, investment advisory and management fees are largely determined based on the value of the investments managed. As a result, fee income from this line of business fluctuates with market valuations. The levels of trust and brokerage assets under management were negatively impacted by the decline in the market as a result of COVID-19.

Item 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

Deposit service fees decreased 5% comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the same period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to the sale of RB&T, as well as lower transactional volume due to current economic conditions. The Company continues to emphasize shifting the mix of deposits from brokered and retail time deposits to non-maturity demand deposits across all its markets. With this continuing shift in mix, the Company has increased the number of demand deposit accounts, which tend to be lower in interest cost and higher in service fees. The Company plans to continue this shift in mix and to further focus on growing deposit service fees.

Gains on sales of residential real estate loans, net, increased 77% when comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the refinancing of residential real estate loans with lower interest rates in the first quarter of 2020.

The Company did not have any gains on the sale of government-guaranteed portions of loans for the first quarter of 2020 as compared to $31 thousand in the first quarter of 2019. As reflected by these gains, large fluctuations can occur from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. The Company continues to leverage its expertise by taking advantage of programs offered by the SBA and the USDA. In some cases, it is more beneficial for the Company to sell the government-guaranteed portion on the secondary market for a premium rather than retain the loans in the Company's portfolio. Sales activity for government-guaranteed portions of loans tends to fluctuate depending on the demand for loans that fit the criteria for the government guarantee. Further, the size of the transactions can vary and, as the gain is determined as a percentage of the guaranteed amount, the resulting gain on sale can vary.  Recently, competitors have been offering SBA loan candidates traditional financing without a guarantee and the Company is not willing to relax its structure for those lending opportunities.

As a result of the low interest rate environment and its continued focus across all subsidiary banks, the Company was able to execute numerous interest rate swaps on select commercial loans, including tax credit project loans. The interest rate swaps allow commercial borrowers to pay a fixed interest rate while the Company receives a variable interest rate as well as an upfront fee dependent upon the pricing. Management will continue to review opportunities to execute these swaps at all of its subsidiary banks, as the circumstances are appropriate for the borrowers and the Company. An optimal interest rate swap candidate must be of a certain size and sophistication which can lead to volatility in activity from quarter to quarter. Swap fee income totaled $6.8 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2019.  The increase in swap fee income for the first three months of 2020, as compared to all prior periods, was due to both the volume and the size of the transactions executed.  Future levels of swap fee income are somewhat dependent upon prevailing interest rates.

Earnings on BOLI decreased 39% comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2019.  There were no purchases of BOLI within the last 12 months. Notably, a portion of the Company's BOLI is variable rate whereby returns are determined by the performance of the equity market and can lead to volatility in earnings. Management intends to continue to review its BOLI investments to be consistent with policy and regulatory limits in conjunction with the rest of its earning assets in an effort to maximize returns while minimizing risk.

Debit card fees are the interchange fees paid on certain debit card customer transactions. Debit card fees decreased 4% comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of the prior year. These fees can vary based on customer debit card usage, so fluctuations from period to period may occur. As an opportunity to maximize fees, the Company offers a retail deposit product with a higher interest rate that incentivizes debit card activity.

Correspondent banking fees decreased 1% comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of the prior year. The fees are generally included in the earnings credit rates which incent the correspondent bank to maintain higher levels of noninterest bearing deposits to offset the correspondent banking fees. Management will continue to evaluate earnings credit rates and the resulting impact on deposit balances and fees while balancing the ability to grow market share. Correspondent banking continues to be a core strategy for the Company, as this line of business provides a high level of deposits that can be used to fund loan growth as well as a steady source of fee income. The Company now serves approximately 195 banks in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin.

Other noninterest income decreased 13% comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of the prior year.  This decrease was primarily due to the sale of RB&T.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

The following tables set forth the various categories of noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Total noninterest expense	$	31,415	$	32,435	$	(1,020)	(3.1)	%

Management places a strong emphasis on overall cost containment and is committed to improving the Company's general efficiency.

Salaries and employee benefits, which is the largest component of noninterest expense, decreased from the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2019 by 11%.  This decrease was primarily related to the sale of RB&T and reduced bonus and incentive compensation due to the impact of COVID-19. 

Occupancy and equipment expense increased 9% comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the same period of the prior year. The increased expense was due to higher information technology service contract costs and increases in repairs and maintenance costs to existing buildings.

Professional and data processing fees increased 23% comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the same period in 2019. This increased expense was mostly due to higher data processing costs. Generally, professional and data processing fees can fluctuate depending on certain one-time project costs.

Post-acquisition costs totaled $151 thousand for the first quarter of 2020 as compared to $134 thousand for the same period of the prior year.  These costs were comprised primarily of personnel costs, IT integration and data conversion costs related to mergers/acquisitions.

Disposition costs totaled $517 thousand for the first quarter of 2020. The costs were primarily legal, accounting, personnel costs and IT deconversion costs related to the sale of RB&T in the fourth quarter of 2019.  There were no disposition costs for the first quarter of 2019.

FDIC insurance, other insurance and regulatory fee expense decreased 29%, comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in expense was due to the award of assessment credits by the FDIC in September 2019 that carried forward into the first quarter of 2020.

Loan/lease expense increased 7% when comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the same quarter of 2019. Generally, loan/lease expense has a direct relationship with the level of NPLs; however, it may deviate depending upon the individual NPLs.

Net cost of (income from) and gains/losses on operations of other real estate includes gains/losses on the sale of OREO, write-downs of OREO and all income/expenses associated with OREO. Net cost of (income from) and gains/losses on operations of other real estate totaled $13 thousand for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $298 thousand for the first quarter of 2019. 

Advertising and marketing expense decreased 13% comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in expense was primarily due to the sale of RB&T.

Bank service charges, a large portion of which includes indirect costs incurred to provide services to QCBT's correspondent banking customer portfolio, increased 4% when comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the same quarter of 2019.  As transaction volumes continue to increase and the number of correspondent banking clients increases, the associated expenses will also increase.

Losses on debt extinguishment were $147 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020.  These losses relate to the prepayment of certain high-cost brokered certificates of deposit.  There were no losses on debt extinguishment for the three ended March 31, 2019.

Correspondent banking expense increased 6% when comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2019.  These are direct costs incurred to provide services to QCBT's correspondent banking customer portfolio, including safekeeping and cash management services.

Intangibles amortization expense increased 3% when comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the same quarter of 2019.

Goodwill impairment expense totaled $500 thousand in the first quarter of 2020 related to the sale of the Bates Companies.  There was no goodwill impairment expense in the first quarter of 2019.

Other noninterest expense was down 13% when comparing the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2019. This was primarily due to the sale of RB&T.  Included in other noninterest expense are items such as subscriptions, sales and use tax and expenses related to wealth management.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Following is a table that represents the major categories of the Company’s balance sheet.  On November 30, 2019, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and transferred substantially all of the deposits and certain other liabilities of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, RB&T.  As a result, those assets and liabilities of RB&T are not included in the Company’s results of its financial condition as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the removal of which impacts balance sheet comparisons to March 31, 2019.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company's total assets increased $323.0 million, or 7% from December 31, 2019, to a total of $5.2 billion. The Company’s cash, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing deposits increased $142.6 million and total deposits increased $259.4 million in the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to an increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and short-term brokered CDs, the latter of which were accessed to build liquidity in an abundance of caution in light of current economic factors.  Borrowings decreased $34.6 million in the first quarter of 2020 which consisted primarily of allowing short-term FHLB advances to mature given the increase in deposits.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The composition of the Company's securities portfolio is managed to meet liquidity needs while prioritizing the impact on interest rate risk, maximizing return and minimizing credit risk. Over the years, the Company has further diversified the portfolio by decreasing U.S government sponsored agency securities and increasing residential mortgage-backed and related securities and tax-exempt municipal securities. Of the latter, the large majority are privately placed tax-exempt debt issuances by municipalities located in the Midwest (with some in or near the Company's existing markets) and require a thorough underwriting process before investment.

The Company has not invested in non-agency commercial or residential mortgage-backed securities or pooled trust preferred securities. The asset-backed securities, which are comprised of collateral loan obligations, are backed by pools of senior secured commercial loans and were AAA rated as of March 31, 2020.

See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company's investment securities.

LOANS/LEASES

Total loans/leases grew 1.6% on an annualized basis during the first quarter of 2020. The Company experienced several large payoffs during the quarter, which impacted loan growth, as well as slower growth in March due to the pandemic.  The mix of the loan/lease types within the Company's loan/lease portfolio is presented in the following table.

As CRE loans have historically been the Company's largest portfolio segment, management places a strong emphasis on monitoring the composition of the Company's CRE loan portfolio. For example, management tracks the level of owner-occupied CRE loans relative to non-owner-occupied loans. Owner-occupied loans are generally considered to have less risk. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximately 26% of the CRE loan portfolio was owner-occupied.

The Company's residential real estate loan portfolio includes the following:

· Certain loans that do not meet the criteria for sale into the secondary market. These are often structured as adjustable rate mortgages with maturities ranging from three to seven years to avoid long-term interest rate risk.

· A limited amount of 15‑year, 20-year and 30‑year fixed rate residential real estate loans that meet certain credit guidelines.

The remaining residential real estate loans originated by the Company were sold on the secondary market to avoid the interest rate risk associated with longer term fixed rate loans. Loans originated for this purpose were classified as held for sale and are included in the residential real estate loans above. The Company has not originated any subprime, Alt-A, no documentation, or stated income residential real estate loans throughout its history.

ALLOWANCE FOR ESTIMATED LOSSES ON LOANS/LEASES

Changes in the allowance for the three months ended March  31, 2020 and 2019 are presented as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2020		March 31, 2019
	(dollars in thousands)
Balance, beginning	$	36,001	$	39,847
Provisions charged to expense		8,367		2,134
Loans/leases charged off		(2,335)		(1,060)
Recoveries on loans/leases previously charged off		200		243
Balance, ending	$	42,233	$	41,164

The adequacy of the allowance was determined by management based on factors that included the overall composition of the loan/lease portfolio, types of loans/leases, historical loss experience, loan/lease delinquencies, potential substandard and doubtful credits, economic conditions, collateral positions, government guarantees and other factors that, in management's judgment, deserved evaluation. To ensure that an adequate allowance was maintained, provisions were made based on a number of factors, including the increase in loans/leases and a detailed analysis of the loan/lease portfolio. The loan/lease portfolio is reviewed and analyzed quarterly with specific detailed reviews completed on all credits risk-rated less than “fair quality”, as described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report  on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and carrying aggregate exposure in excess of $250 thousand. The adequacy of the allowance is monitored by the credit administration staff and reported to management and the board of directors.

The Company's levels of criticized and classified loans are reported in the following table.

	As of
Internally Assigned Risk Rating *	March 31, 2020			December 31, 2019			March 31, 2019

Classified Loans as a % of Total Loans/Leases		0.99	%		0.92	%		1.16	%

*      Amounts above include the government guaranteed portion, if any. For the calculation of allowance, the Company assigns internal risk ratings of Pass (Rating 2) for the government guaranteed portion.

**    Criticized loans are defined as commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans with internally assigned risk ratings of 6, 7, or 8, regardless of performance.

***  Classified loans are defined as commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans with internally assigned risk ratings of 7 or 8, regardless of performance.

Criticized loans increased 33% and classified loans increased 9% from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020.  The increase was due to a few isolated relationships.    The Company continues its strong focus on improving credit quality in an effort to limit NPLs.

	As of
	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019		March 31, 2019
Allowance / Gross Loans/Leases	1.14	%	0.98	%	1.08	%
Allowance / NPLs	310.72	%	403.87	%	238.48	%

Although management believes that the allowance at March 31, 2020 was at a level adequate to absorb losses on existing loans/leases, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts or that the Company will not be required to make additional provisions in the future. Unpredictable future events could adversely affect cash flows

for both commercial and individual borrowers, which could cause the Company to experience increases in problem assets, delinquencies and losses on loans/leases, and require further increases in the provision. Based on current economic indicators, the Company increased the economic allocations within the allowance for loan losses calculation.  The Company anticipates that the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans may increase in future periods based on the belief that the credit quality of the loan portfolio could decline and loan defaults may increase as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Asset quality is a priority for the Company and its subsidiaries. The ability to grow profitably is in part dependent upon the ability to maintain that quality. The Company continually focuses efforts at its subsidiary banks and leasing company with the intention to improve the overall quality of the Company's loan/lease portfolio.

(2) Includes TDRs of $298 thousand at March 31, 2020, $747 thousand million at December 31, 2019, and $1.5 million at March 31, 2019.

NPAs at March 31, 2020 were $16.9 million, up $3.8 million from December 31, 2019 and down $9.5 million from March 31, 2019.  The increase in NPAs in the first quarter of 2020 was primarily due to one borrower relationship. The improvement from prior year was primarily attributed to the sale of RB&T.

The ratio of NPAs to total assets was 0.32% at March 31, 2020, up from 0.27% at December 31, 2019 and down from 0.52% at March 31, 2019. 

The large majority of the NPAs consist of nonaccrual loans/leases, accruing TDRs, and OREO. For nonaccrual loans/leases and accruing TDRs, management has thoroughly reviewed these loans/leases and has provided specific allowances as appropriate.

OREO is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

The Company's lending/leasing practices remain unchanged and asset quality remains a priority for management.

Due to the economic impacts of COVID-19, the Company established a Loan Relief Program (“LRP”) for its clients.  The LRP allows borrowers to request the deferral of principal and interest payments for an agreed upon term.  Those deferred payments will be added to the end of the original term of the loan.  The CARES Act includes provisions that allow financial institutions to elect to not apply GAAP requirements to loan modifications related to COVID-19 that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR, including arrangements that defer or delay payments of principal or interest.  The relief from TDR

guidance applies to modifications of loans that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019, and that occur beginning on March 1, 2020 until the earlier of sixty days after the date on which the national emergency related to COVID-19 is terminated or December 31, 2020.  The Company expects that the majority of LRP participants will not be categorized as a TDR by meeting the CARES Act provisions.

DEPOSITS

Deposits increased $259.4 million during the first quarter of 2020, primarily due an increase in correspondent deposits, public deposits and short-term brokered CDs. The table below presents the composition of the Company's deposit portfolio.

	As of
	March 31, 2020				December 31, 2019				March 31, 2019

	$	4,170,478	100	%	$	3,911,051	100	%	$	4,194,220	100	%

Quarter-end balances can greatly fluctuate due to large customer and correspondent bank activity.

Management will continue to focus on growing its core deposit portfolio, including its correspondent banking business at QCBT, as well as shifting the mix from brokered and other higher cost deposits to lower cost core deposits. With the significant success achieved by QCBT in growing its correspondent banking business, QCBT has developed procedures to proactively monitor this industry concentration of deposits and loans. Other deposit-related industry concentrations and large accounts are monitored by the internal asset liability management committees.

BORROWINGS

The subsidiary banks purchase federal funds for short-term funding needs from the FRB or from their correspondent banks. The table below presents the composition of the Company's short-term borrowings.

	As of
	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019		March 31, 2019

Overnight federal reserve borrowings		30,000		—		—
	$	43,067	$	13,423	$	15,886

The Company's federal funds purchased and Federal Reserve borrowings fluctuate based on the short-term funding needs of the Company's subsidiary banks.  The Company borrowed $30.0 million at the end of March to build on balance sheet liquidity in an abundance of caution as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result of their memberships in the FHLB of Des Moines, the subsidiary banks have the ability to borrow funds for short or long-term purposes under a variety of programs. The subsidiary banks can utilize FHLB advances for loan matching as a hedge against the possibility of changing interest rates and when these advances provide a less costly or more readily available source of funds than customer deposits.

Overnight FHLB advances		40,000		109,300		59,800
	$	95,000	$	159,300	$	126,180

FHLB advances decreased $64.3 million in the current quarter, as compared to the prior quarter due to the increased levels of deposits.

The Company had subordinated notes totaling $68.5 million as of March 31, 2020.  

It is management's intention to reduce its reliance on wholesale funding, including FHLB advances and brokered deposits. Replacement of this funding with core deposits helps to reduce interest expense as wholesale funding tends to be higher cost. However, the Company may choose to utilize advances and/or brokered deposits to supplement funding needs, as this is a way for the Company to effectively and efficiently manage interest rate risk.

The table below presents the maturity schedule including weighted average interest cost for the Company's combined wholesale funding portfolio (defined as FHLB advances and brokered deposits).

*     TCE is defined as total common stockholders' equity excluding goodwill and other intangibles. This ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. See GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations.

Capital was impacted by several atypical factors this quarter. First, the Company repurchased approximately 101,000 shares of its common stock during the quarter at a total cost of $3.8 million.  Second, AOCI declined $3.7 million during the quarter for mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate caps and an interest rate swap on trust preferred securities partially offset by an increase in net unrealized gains on AFS securities portfolio.  Furthermore as it relates to the Company’s TCE/TA, the Company experienced net dilution as TCE/TA fell from 9.25% to 8.76% which was primarily driven by an inflated balance sheet at quarter-end.  Specifically, the balance sheet was inflated by mark-to-market gross ups on the commercial loan swap portfolio and the previously mentioned excess liquidity.  As the impact of COVID-19 on the economy escalated in mid-March, the Company suspended the stock repurchase program and has focused on preserving capital and growing tangible book value.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity measures the ability of the Company to meet maturing obligations and its existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to fund its operations, and to provide for customers' credit needs. The Company monitors liquidity risk through contingency planning stress testing on a regular basis. The Company seeks to avoid over-concentration of funding sources and to establish and maintain contingent funding facilities that can be drawn upon if normal funding sources become unavailable. One source of liquidity is cash and short-term assets, such as interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, which averaged $133.4 million during the first quarter of 2020. The Company's on balance sheet liquidity position can fluctuate based on short-term activity in deposits and loans.

The Company believes there could be potential stresses on liquidity management as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company's participation in the PPP. As customers manage their own liquidity stress, the Company could experience an increase in the utilization of existing lines of credit. The Federal Reserve Bank has provided a lending facility that will allow the Company, if desired, to obtain funding specifically for loans that the Company makes under the PPP, which will allow the Company to retain existing sources of liquidity for traditional operations. PPP loans will be pledged as collateral on the Company's borrowings under the Federal Reserve Bank's lending facility.

The subsidiary banks have a variety of sources of short-term liquidity available to them, including federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, FHLB advances, wholesale structured repurchase agreements, brokered deposits, lines of credit, borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window, sales of securities AFS, and loan/lease participations or sales. The Company also generates liquidity from the regular principal payments and prepayments made on its loan/lease portfolio, and on the regular monthly payments on its securities portfolio.

At March 31, 2020, the subsidiary banks had 26 lines of credit totaling $370.2 million, of which $36.7 million was secured and $333.5 million was unsecured. At March 31, 2020, the $340.2 of the $370.2 million was available.

At December 31, 2019, the subsidiary banks had 27 lines of credit totaling $380.6 million, of which $45.3 million was secured and $335.3 million was unsecured. At December 31, 2019, the full $380.6 million was available.

The Company has emphasized growing the number and amount of lines of credit in an effort to strengthen this contingent source of liquidity. Additionally, the Company maintains a $20.0 million secured revolving credit note with a variable interest rate and a maturity of June 30, 2020. At March 31, 2020, the full $20.0 million was available.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $541.0 million in average correspondent banking deposits spread over 195 relationships. While the Company believes that these funds are relatively stable, there is the potential for large fluctuations that can impact liquidity. Seasonality and the liquidity needs of these correspondent banks can impact balances. Management closely monitors these fluctuations and runs stress scenarios to measure the impact on liquidity and interest rate risk with various levels of correspondent deposit run-off.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

The Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.  Factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, the following:

· The strength of the local, state, and national economy (including the impact of the 2020 presidential election and the impact of tariffs, a U.S. withdrawal from or significant renegotiation of trade agreements, trade wars and other changes in trade regulation).

· The economic impact of any future terrorist threats and attacks, widespread disease or pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States), or other adverse external events that could cause economic deterioration or instability in credit markets, and the response of the local, state and national governments to any such adverse events.

· Changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies, the FASB, the SEC or the PCAOB (including the new CECL impairment standards, that will change how the Company estimates credit losses when implemented).

· Changes in state and federal laws, regulations and governmental policies concerning the Company’s general business.

· Changes in the interest rates and prepayment rates of the Company’s assets (including the impact of LIBOR phase-out.

· Increased competition in the financial services sector and the inability to attract new customers.

· Changes in  technology and the ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems.

· Unexpected results of acquisitions, which may include failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions and the possibility that transaction costs may be greater than anticipated.

· The loss of key executives or employees.

· Changes in consumer spending.

· The costs, effects and outcomes of existing or future litigation.

· The ability of the Company to manage the risks associated with the foregoing as well as anticipated.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. For a discussion of the factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, see the “Risk Factors” section included under Item 1A of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

61

Part I

Item 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to direct and indirect market risk. Direct market risk exists from changes in interest rates. The Company's net income is dependent on its net interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net interest income.

In an attempt to manage the Company's exposure to changes in interest rates, management monitors the Company's interest rate risk. Each subsidiary bank has an asset/liability management committee of the board of directors that meets quarterly to review the bank's interest rate risk position and profitability, and to make or recommend adjustments for consideration by the full board of each bank.

Internal asset/liability management teams consisting of members of the subsidiary banks' management meet weekly to manage the mix of assets and liabilities to maximize earnings and liquidity and minimize interest rate and other risks. Management also reviews the subsidiary banks' securities portfolios, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the board's objectives in an effective manner. Notwithstanding the Company's interest rate risk management activities, the potential for changing interest rates is an uncertainty that can have an adverse effect on net income.

In adjusting the Company's asset/liability position, the board of directors and management attempt to manage the Company's interest rate risk while maintaining or enhancing net interest margins. At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the board of directors and management may decide to increase the Company's interest rate risk position somewhat in order to increase its net interest margin. The Company's results of operations and net portfolio values remain vulnerable to increases in interest rates and to fluctuations in the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates.

One method used to quantify interest rate risk is a short-term earnings at risk summary, which is a detailed and dynamic simulation model used to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. This simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest sensitive assets and liabilities reflected on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates net interest income exposure annually over a five-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, no balance sheet mix change, and various interest rate scenarios including no change in rates; 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis point upward shifts; and a 100 and 200 basis point downward shifts in interest rates, where interest-bearing assets and liabilities reprice at their earliest possible repricing date.

The model assumes parallel and pro rata shifts in interest rates over a twelve-month period for the 200 basis point upward shift and 100 and 200 basis point downward shifts. For the 400 basis point upward shift, the model assumes a parallel and pro rata shift in interest rates over a twenty-four month period.

Further, in recent years, the Company added additional interest rate scenarios where interest rates experience a parallel and instantaneous shift  (“shock”) upward of 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points and a parallel and instantaneous shock downward of 100 and 200 basis points. The Company will run additional interest rate scenarios on an as-needed basis.

The asset/liability management committees of the subsidiary bank boards of directors have established policy limits of a 10% decline in net interest income for the 200 basis point upward parallel shift and the 100 basis point downward parallel shift. For the 300 basis point upward shock, the established policy limit is a 25% decline in net interest income. The increased policy limit is appropriate as the shock scenario is extreme and unlikely and warrants a higher limit than the more realistic and traditional parallel/pro-rata shift scenarios.

62

Part I

Item 3

Application of the simulation model analysis for select interest rate scenarios at the most recent quarter-end available is presented in the following table:

	NET INTEREST INCOME EXPOSURE in YEAR 1
			As of March 31,		As of December 31,		As of December 31,
INTEREST RATE SCENARIO	POLICY LIMIT		2020		2019		2018
100 basis point downward shift	(10.0)	%	0.7	%	0.5	%	0.7	%
200 basis point upward shift	(10.0)	%	(2.3)	%	1.2	%	(2.7)	%
300 basis point upward shock	(25.0)	%	(0.3)	%	4.9	%	(9.0)	%

The simulation is well within the board-established policy limits for all three scenarios. Additionally, for all of the various interest rate scenarios modeled and measured by management (as described above), the results at March 31, 2020 were within established risk tolerances as established by policy or by best practice (if the interest rate scenario didn't have a specific policy limit).

Interest rate risk is considered to be one of the most significant market risks affecting the Company. For that reason, the Company engages the assistance of a national consulting firm and its risk management system to monitor and control the Company's interest rate risk exposure.  Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company's business activities.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed and submitted under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have been no significant changes to the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to their respective businesses.

Item 1A        Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, the following risk factors apply to the Company:

The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted, or an outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases could adversely impact, certain industries in which the Company’s customers operate and could impair their ability to fulfill their obligations to the Company. Further, the spread of the outbreak is expected to lead to an economic recession and other severe disruptions in the U.S. economy and may disrupt banking and other financial activity in the areas in which the Company operates and could potentially create widespread business continuity issues for the Company.

The spread of highly infectious or contagious diseases could cause, and the spread of COVID-19 has caused, severe disruptions in the U.S. economy at large, and for small businesses in particular, which could disrupt the Company’s operations. The Company is starting to see the impact from COVID-19 on its business, and its believes that it may be significant, adverse and potentially material. Currently, COVID-19 is spreading through the United States and the world. The resulting concerns on the part of the U.S. and global populations have created the threat of a recession, reduced economic activity and caused a significant correction in the global stock markets. The Company expects that it may experience significant disruptions across the Company’s business due to these effects, leading to decreased earnings and significant slowdowns in loan collections or loan defaults.

COVID-19 may impact businesses’ and consumers’ financial ability to borrow money, which would negatively impact loan volumes. In addition, certain of the Company’s borrowers are in or have exposure to the hotel, restaurant, entertainment, long-term healthcare and retail  industries and/or are located in areas that are quarantined or under stay-at-home orders, and COVID-19 may also have an adverse effect on the Company’s direct lease financing, commercial real estate and consumer loan portfolios. A prolonged quarantine or stay-at-home order would have a negative adverse impact on these borrowers and their revenue streams, which consequently impacts their ability to meet their financial obligations and could result in loan defaults.

The outbreak of COVID-19 or an outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases may result in a decrease in our customers’ businesses, a decrease in consumer confidence and business generally, an increase in unemployment or a disruption in the services provided by the Company’s vendors. Disruptions to the Company’s customers could result in increased risk of delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and losses on our loans, negatively impact regional economic conditions, result in declines in local loan demand, liquidity of loan guarantors, loan collateral (particularly in real estate), loan originations and deposit availability and negatively impact the implementation of our growth strategy.

The Company relies upon its third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record, and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide the Company with these services, it could negatively impact the Company’s ability to serve its customers. Furthermore, the outbreak could negatively impact the ability of the Company’s employees and customers to engage in banking and other

65

financial transactions in the geographic areas in which the Company operates and could create widespread business continuity issues for the Company. The Company also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to the effects and restrictions of a COVID-19 outbreak in its market areas. Although the Company has business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will be effective.

The Company believes that the economic impact from COVID-19 will be severe and could have a material and adverse impact on our business and that it could result in significant losses in its loan portfolio, all of which would adversely and materially impact the Company’s earnings and capital.

As a participating lender in the PPP, the Company and the subsidiary banks are subject to additional risks of litigation from their customers or other parties regarding the processing of loans for the PPP and risks that the SBA may not fund some or all PPP loan guaranties.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the CARES Act, which included a $349 billion loan program administered through the SBA referred to as the PPP. Under the PPP, small businesses and other entities and individuals can apply for loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders that enroll in the program, subject to numerous limitations and eligibility criteria. The subsidiary banks are participating as lenders in the PPP.  The PPP opened on April 3, 2020; however, because of the short timeframe between the passing of the CARES Act and the opening of the PPP, there is some ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP, which exposes the Company to risks relating to noncompliance with the PPP. On or about April 16, 2020, the SBA notified lenders that the $349 billion earmarked for the PPP was exhausted. Congress has authorized an additional $310 billion funding for PPP loans; however, it is unknown if and when this the additional authorized amount will be exhausted and whether Congress will again authorize additional PPP loan funding.

Since the opening of the PPP, several other larger banks have been subject to litigation regarding the process and procedures that such banks used in processing applications for the PPP.  The Company and the subsidiary banks may be exposed to the risk of similar litigation, from both customers and non‑customers that approached the banks regarding PPP loans, regarding their process and procedures used in processing applications for the PPP. If any such litigation is filed against the Company or the subsidiary banks and is not resolved in a manner favorable to the Company or the banks, it may result in significant financial liability or adversely affect the Company’s reputation. In addition, litigation can be costly, regardless of outcome. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The subsidiary banks also have credit risk on PPP loans if a determination is made by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or serviced by the banks, such as an issue with the eligibility of a borrower to receive a PPP loan, which may or may not be related to the ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP. In the event of a loss resulting from a default on a PPP loan and a determination by the SBA that there was a deficiency in the manner in which the PPP loan was originated, funded, or serviced by the Company, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency from the Company.
