NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) – continued

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries which include the accounts of five commercial banks: QCBT, CRBT, CSB, SFC Bank and RB&T. All are state-chartered commercial banks and all are members of the Federal Reserve system. The Company engages in direct financing lease contracts through m2, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QCBT. The Company also engages in wealth management services through its banking subsidiaries and its subsidiaries, the Bates Companies. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The acquisition of the Bates Companies, headquartered in Rockford, Illinois, occurred on October 1, 2018. The merger with Springfield Bancshares, the holding company of SFC Bank, headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, occurred on July 1, 2018. The financial results for the periods since acquisition/merger are included in this report. See Note 2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for additional information about the acquisition and merger.

On August 13, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell certain assets and liabilities of RB&T, a wholly-owned subsidiary headquartered in Rockford, Illinois, to IB&T, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heartland Financial USA, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, IB&T will acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities for a cash payment. The transaction is subject to approval by federal and state bank regulators and to customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019. The assets and liabilities that will be sold are classified as held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and corresponding footnotes. See Note 2 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the sale.

Recent accounting developments: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02, Leases. Under ASU 2016‑02, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases). Lessor accounting is largely unchanged under ASU 2016‑02. However, the definition of initial direct costs was updated to include only initial direct costs that are considered incremental. This change in definition will change the manner in which the Company recognizes the costs associated with originating leases. ASU 2016‑02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The standard was adopted on January 1, 2019 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. Under the standard, assets measured at amortized costs (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 interim periods within those fiscal years. Companies may choose to early adopt for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of adoption on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU 2017-04 is intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing by eliminating the second step of the analysis. ASU 2017-04 requires entities to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for any amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, to the extent that the loss recognized does not exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the prior year's consolidated financial statements have been reclassified, with no effect on net income or stockholders' equity, to conform with the current period presentation.

NOTE 2 – ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE

On August 13, 2019, the Company and RB&T entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the Agreement) to sell certain assets and liabilities of RB&T, a wholly-owned subsidiary headquartered in Rockford, Illinois, to IB&T, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heartland Financial USA, Inc. Under the terms of the Agreement, IB&T will acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of RB&T for a cash payment. The actual cash payment amount will be determined substantially by the following formula: (i) the “Purchase Price Premium”, plus (ii) the aggregate net book value of the acquired assets, minus (iii) the aggregate book value of the assumed liabilities. The Purchase Price Premium is equal to: (a) 8% of RB&T’s tangible assets, multiplied by (b) 0.345. Based on RB&T’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2019, the Purchase Price Premium would be $14.2 million and the total payment by IB&T to the Company would be $59.7 million. The transaction is subject to approval by federal and state bank regulators and to customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Assets and liabilities of RB&T classified as held for sale are summarized as follows as of September 30, 2019:

At September 30, 2019, the investment portfolio included 510 securities. Of this number, 31 securities were in an unrealized loss position. The aggregate losses of these securities totaled approximately 0.1% of the total amortized cost of the portfolio. Of these 31 securities, 21 securities had an unrealized loss for twelve months or more. 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 or nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the Company held revenue bonds of one single issuer, located in Ohio, of which the aggregate book or market value 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 held for investment charters, whose investment policies set forth limits for various subcategories within the municipal securities portfolio. Each charter is monitored individually, and as of September 30, 2019, 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 September 30, 2019, 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 $131.0 million and $103.4 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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. There were no losses related to residual values for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

*** Includes residential real estate loans held for sale totaling $8.9 million and $1.3 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVES

The Company uses interest rate swap instruments to manage interest rate risk related to the variability of interest payments due to changes in interest rates. On June 21, 2018, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to hedge against the risk of rising rates on its variable rate trust preferred securities. The floating rate trust preferred securities are tied to three-month LIBOR, and the interest rate swaps utilize three-month LIBOR, so the hedge is effective. The interest rate swaps are designated as a cash flow hedge in accordance with ASC 815. The details of the interest rate swaps are as follows:


			Balance Sheet							Fair Value as of

Changes in fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in OCI to the extent the hedge is effective, and reclassified to earnings as the hedged transaction (interest payments on debt) impact earnings.

The swaps are valued by the transaction counterparty on a monthly basis and corroborated by a third party annually.

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. 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.

NOTE 6 –BORROWINGS

On February 12, 2019, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of $65.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating subordinated notes that mature on February 15, 2029. Net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated expenses, were $63.4 million. The subordinated notes, which qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Company, are at a fixed rate of 5.375% per year until but excluding February 15, 2024. On this date, the interest rate will change to an annual floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 282 basis points until the maturity date. The interest on the subordinated notes are payable semi-annually, commencing on August 15, 2019 during the five year fixed term and thereafter quarterly, commencing on February 15, 2024. The subordinated notes have an optional redemption in whole or in part on any interest payment date on or after February 15, 2024. The subordinated notes are subordinate in

the right of payment to the Company’s senior indebtedness and the indebtedness and other liabilities of the subsidiary banks. Unamortized debt issuance costs related to the subordinated notes totaled $1.5 million at September 30, 2019.

Immediately following the issuance, the Company repaid term notes totaling $21.3 million and the outstanding balance of $9.0 million on its revolving line of credit. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the pursuit of opportunistic acquisitions of similar or complementary financial service organizations, repaying indebtedness, financing investments and capital expenditures, repurchasing shares of the Company’s common stock, investing in the subsidiary banks or other strategic opportunities that may arise in the future.

In the second quarter of 2019, the Company renewed its revolving line of credit. At renewal, the line amount was increased from $10.0 million to $20.0 million. The interest on the revolving line of credit is calculated at the effective LIBOR rate plus 2.25% per annum (4.34% at September 30, 2019). Prior to the renewal, the interest on the revolving line of credit was calculated at the effective LIBOR rate plus 2.50% per annum. The collateral on the revolving line of credit is 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company’s bank subsidiaries. The outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit was $0 and $9.0 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company prepaid $30.2 million of FHLB term advances in the third quarter of 2019 using excess funds generated by strong deposit growth. The term advances had original maturities from February 2020 to October 2021 with rates ranging from 1.50% to 2.97%.

The Company prepaid two wholesale structured repurchase agreements in the second quarter of 2019 using excess funds generated by strong deposit growth. The first wholesale structured repurchase agreement totaled $5.0 million and had original maturity date of March 13, 2020 with a rate of 2.58%. The second wholesale structured repurchase agreement totaled $20.0 million and had an original maturity of June 13, 2020 with a rate of 2.46%. In addition, wholesale structured repurchase agreements totaling $10.0 million matured in the second quarter of 2019. The wholesale structured repurchase agreements were utilized as an alternative funding source to FHLB advances and customer deposits. Wholesale structured repurchase agreements were collateralized by certain U.S. government agency securities and residential mortgage backed and related securities.

NOTE 8 – 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:


			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
			Quoted Prices		Significant

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

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 swaps are executed for select commercial customers. The interest rate swaps are further described in Note 5 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 junior subordinated debt. The interest rate swaps are further described in Note 5 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

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 9 – 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 four 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 operations of all other consolidated subsidiaries and/or defined operating segments that fall below the segment reporting thresholds as well as the corporate operations of the parent company. This segment also includes the results of segments classified as held for sale.

Selected financial information on the Company's business segments is presented as follows as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

NOTE 10 – 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, that the Company and the subsidiary banks met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, to be categorized as “well capitalized,” an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage and common equity Tier 1 ratios as set forth in the following tables. The Company and the subsidiary banks' actual capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are presented in the following table (dollars in thousands). As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, each of the subsidiary banks met the requirements to be “well capitalized”.

Net income	$	15,095	$	13,504	$	8,809	$	41,517	$	29,804

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

Net interest income in the third quarter of 2019 was up 7% compared to the second quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $93.2 million increase in average interest earning assets combined with a 12 basis point increase in reported net interest margin. Net interest income increased 6% compared to the third quarter of 2018 and 12% when comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period in the prior year. These increases were primarily due to strong loan growth and the addition of SFC Bank.

Provision expense in the third quarter of 2019 increased 4% compared to the second quarter of 2019. Provision expense decreased 68% compared to the third quarter of 2018 and 45% when comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period in the prior year. The increase in the third quarter was primarily due to $493 thousand of provision related to a nonperforming loan included in assets held for sale. The decreases in provision when comparing to the prior periods of 2018 were primarily due to continued asset quality improvements. See the Provision for Loan Lease Losses section of this report for additional details.

Noninterest income in the third quarter of 2019 increased 17% compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to higher swap fee income. Noninterest income increased 126% compared to the third quarter of 2018 and 86% when comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period in the prior year. These increases were primarily attributable to higher swap fee income as well as solid growth in wealth management fee income and the addition of SFC Bank and the Bates Companies.

Noninterest expense increased 9% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2019. Net cost and gains/losses on operations of other real estate was $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to a write down of one OREO property of $2 million in the third quarter. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $1.5 million in additional bonus and commission expense during the third quarter due to strong year-to-date results and higher than expected fee income. Professional and data processing fees increased $999 thousand comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the second quarter of 2019. This increased expense was primarily due to recent mergers/acquisitions. Noninterest expense increased 31% compared to the third quarter of 2018 and 32% when comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the addition of SFC Bank.

Federal and state income tax expense in the third quarter of 2019 increased 16% compared to the second quarter of 2019. Federal and state income tax expense increased 122% compared to the third quarter of 2018 and 47% when comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period in the prior year. See the “Income Taxes” section of this report for additional details on these increases.

LONG-TERM FINANCIAL GOALS

As previously stated, the Company has established certain financial goals 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 goals, there is no assurance that they will be met. Moreover, the Company's ability to achieve these goals 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, 2018. The Company's long-term financial goals are as follows:

Generate strong organic loan and lease growth in order to maintain a gross loans and leases to total assets ratio in the range of 73 – 78%;

Improve profitability (measured by NIM and ROAA);

Support strong asset quality by maintaining NPAs to total assets to below 0.75% and maintaining charge-offs as a percentage of average loans/leases of under 0.25% annually;

Grow core deposits to maintain reliance on wholesale funding at less than 15% of total assets;

Continue to focus on generating gains on sales of government guaranteed portions of loans and swap fee income between $8 million and $12 million annually; and

Grow wealth management net income by 10% annually.

The following table shows the evaluation of the Company's long-term financial goals:


				For the Quarter Ending
Goal	Key Metric	Target **	September 30, 2019				June 30, 2019			September 30, 2018

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

The Company has taken the following actions during the third quarter of 2019 to support its corporate strategy and the long-term financial goals shown above:

Excluding the impact of loans classified as held for sale, the Company grew loans and leases in the third quarter of 2019 by 9.1% on an annualized basis and 10.3% year-to-date. Strong loan and lease growth for the remainder of the year is anticipated to keep the Company's loans and leases to assets ratio within the targeted range of 73‑78%.

Excluding RB&T’s loans/leases, which are classified as held for sale, the Company has continued to focus on lowering the NPAs to total assets ratio. This ratio decreased by 18 basis points to 0.27% compared to the second quarter 2019. The Company remains committed to maintaining strong asset quality ratios in 2019 and beyond.

Management has continued to focus on reducing the Company's reliance on wholesale funding. Wholesale funding as a percentage of total assets remained stable in the third quarter of 2019 at 11%. Management continues to prioritize core deposit growth through a variety of strategies including growth in correspondent banking.

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 $170.5 million and average total interest bearing deposits of $330.5 million during the first nine months of 2019. By comparison, the Company acted as the correspondent bank for 191 downstream banks with average total noninterest bearing deposits of $197.5 million and average total interest bearing deposits of $221.1 million during the first nine months of 2018. 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 $20.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Wealth management is another core line of business for the Company and includes a full range of products, including trust services, brokerage and investment advisory services, asset management, estate planning and financial planning. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $2.97 billion of total financial assets in trust (and related) accounts and $1.51 billion of total financial assets in brokerage (and related) accounts. Continued growth in assets under management are expected to drive trust and investment advisory fees. The Company offers trust and investment advisory services to the correspondent banks that it serves. As management continues to focus on growing wealth management fee income, expanding market share will continue to be a primary strategy, both through organic growth as well as through the acquisition of managed assets.

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”, “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;

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.

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 comparions 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 7% to $42.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same quarter of the prior year, and increased 13% to $120.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year. Excluding the tax equivalent adjustments, net interest income increased 6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same quarter of the prior year, and increased 12% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year. Net interest income improved due to two main factors:

The addition of SFC Bank in the third quarter of 2018; and

Strong organic loan and deposit growth over the past 12 months.

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 table above 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:


		For the Quarter Ended						For the Nine Months Ended

		2019		2019		2018		2019		2018
		(dollars in thousands)

Acquisition Accounting Net Accretion in NIM	$	1,268	$	1,076	$	1,677	$	3,413	$	2,921

NIM on a tax equivalent basis was up 12 basis points on a linked quarter basis. Excluding acquisition accounting net accretion, NIM was up 10 basis points on a linked quarter basis. The increase in net interest margin during the quarter was due to a seven basis point increase in the yield on interest earning assets and a five 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.

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. 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, 2018.

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, 2018.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income increased 14%, comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the same period of 2018, and increased 25% comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of 2018. This increase was primarily the result of the addition of SFC Bank, strong organic loan and deposit growth.

Overall, the Company's average earning assets increased 9%, comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2018. During the same time period, average gross loans and leases increased 10%, while average investment securities decreased 6%. Average earning assets increased 18%, comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of 2018. Average gross loans and leases increased 19% and average investment securities decreased 2%, comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of 2018. The increases in average earning assets and average gross loans and leases were the result of the addition of SFC Bank and strong organic loan growth.

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 third quarter of 2019 increased 40% from the third quarter of 2018 and increased 73%, comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of 2018. The addition of SFC Bank primarily contributed to this increase as the Company added over $439 million in deposits. The Company has grown organically at a significant pace over the past several years and the loan growth has been funded in large part by larger depositor relationships with higher rate sensitivity, many of which have pricing tied to a certain index. As a result, the cost of these funds is higher than the rest of the Company’s core deposit portfolio, and the cost rises at a higher rate (beta) as market interest rates rise. The beta on the balance of the Company’s core deposit portfolio has performed well and is much lower than the beta on relationships with pricing tied to a certain index. Additionally, the cost of funds on the Company’s short-term wholesale funds has increased with the rising rate environment. During the third quarter, market interest rates fell as the Federal Reserve cut the Federal Funds rate 50 basis points. 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.

PROVISION FOR LOAN/LEASE LOSSES

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 in the portfolio as described in more detail in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section.

Item 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

The Company's provision totaled $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2019, which was a decrease of 68% from the same quarter of the prior year. Provision for the first nine months of 2019 totaled $6.1 million, which was down 45% compared to the first nine months of 2018. These decreases were primarily attributable to improved asset quality.

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 $3.3 million for the first nine months of 2019, increased the Company's allowance to $36.1 million at September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the Company's allowance to total loans/leases was 1.00%, which was down from 1.07% at December 31, 2018 and 1.18% at September 30, 2018. Management continues to evaluate the allowance needed on acquired loans factoring in the net remaining discount ($7.7 million and $14.4 million at September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively).

A more detailed discussion of the Company's allowance can be found in the “Financial Condition” section of this Report.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

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. Assets under management increased $286.2 million in the first nine months of 2019 with 238 new client relationships. With strong growth in assets under management, trust department fees increased 7%, comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the same period of the prior year. Trust department fees increased 11%, when comparing the first nine months of 2019 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.

Investment advisory and management fees increased 68%, comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the same period of the prior year, and they increased 76% when comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the first nine months of 2018. In October 2018, the Company acquired the Bates Companies which increased assets under management by approximately $704 million. Management has placed a stronger emphasis on growing its investment advisory and management services. Part of this initiative has been to restructure the Company's Wealth Management Division to allow for more efficient delivery of products and services through selective additions of talent as well as the leverage of and collaboration among existing resources (including the aforementioned trust department). Similar to trust department fees, investment advisory and management fees are largely determined based on the value of the investments managed.

Deposit service fees expanded 10% comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the same period of the prior year, and expanded 5% when comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of the prior year. The Company continues its emphasis on 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 164% when comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the same period of the prior year and increased 224% when comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of the prior year. The increase was due to the addition of SFC Bank which recognized gains on sales of residential real estate of $597 thousand in the third quarter of 2019 and $1.2 million in the first nine months of 2019.

The Company's gains on the sale of government-guaranteed portions of loans for the third quarter of 2019 increased 1028% compared to the third quarter of 2018 and increased 45% when comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of the prior year. 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 relatively 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 $9.8 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2018. Swap fee income totaled $20.9 million for the first nine months of 2019, compared to $3.7 million in the first nine months of 2018. The increase in swap fee income for the first three and nine months of 2019, 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.

Securities losses totaled $3 thousand and $56 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. By comparison, there were no securities losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Earnings on BOLI increased 3% comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2018, and increased 12% comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the first nine months of 2018. 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 increased 5% comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of the prior year, and increased 6% comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the first nine months of 2018. This increase was primarily related to recent acquisitions. 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 3% comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of the prior year and decreased 14% for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to the first nine months of 2018. 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 ccorrespondent 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 increased 35% comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of the prior year, and increased 26% comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the first nine months of 2018. This increase was primarily due to fee income, equity investment income and gain on disposal of leased assets.

Management places a strong emphasis on overall cost containment and is committed to improving the Company's general efficiency. One-time charges for post-acquisition transition and integration costs related to the core system conversion of SFC Bank are expected to impact expense throughout 2019.

Salaries and employee benefits, which is the largest component of noninterest expense, increased from the third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2018 by 39%. This line item also increased 38% when comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the first nine months of 2018. This increase was primarily related to:

Bonuses and commissions on elevated swap fee income;

Improved financial results and the related incentives;

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

The addition of SFC Bank employees, new hires and merit increases;

The addition of several producers to bolster growth prospects; and

The addition to operational infrastructure and investing in additional staffing both at the corporate level and at some of the bank charters. Some of these hires are opportunistic, as the Company takes advantage of talent availability in the marketplace as a result of ongoing industry consolidation.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased 16% comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 17% comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of the prior year. The increased expense was due to higher information technology service contract costs, increases in repairs and maintenance costs and the additions of SFC Bank and the Bates Companies.

Professional and data processing fees increased 68% comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the same period in 2018, and increased 22% comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of the prior year. This increased expense was mostly due to recent mergers/acquisitions. Additionally, legal expense was also elevated in the third quarter 2019 due to the continued legal matter at RB&T where two employees have been charged with wrongdoing in connection with an SBA loan application. Neither RB&T nor the Company have been charged in the case. Generally, professional and data processing fees can fluctuate depending on certain one-time project costs.

There were no acquisition costs in the first nine months of 2019. Acquisition costs totaled $1.2 million and $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2018 and first nine months of 2018, respectively. These costs were comprised primarily of legal, accounting and investment banking costs related to mergers/acquisitions.

Post-acquisition costs totaled $884 thousand for the third quarter of 2019 as compared to $494 thousand for the same period of the prior year. Post-acquisition costs totaled $1.7 thousand for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to $659 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.

FDIC insurance, other insurance and regulatory fee expense decreased 42%, comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2018, and decreased 4% comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in expense was due to the award of assessment credits by the FDIC in September 2019.

Loan/lease expense decreased 40% when comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the same quarter of 2018, and decreased 19% comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of prior year. 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 $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $50 thousand of net income for the third quarter of 2018. Net cost of (income from) and gains/losses on operations of other real estate totaled $3.6 million for the first nine months of 2019 compared to $11 thousand for the same period of the prior year. In the third quarter of 2019, the Company wrote down an OREO property by $2.0 million. Writedowns on OREO totaled $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Advertising and marketing expense increased 7% comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2018, and increased18% comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of the prior year. The increase in expense was primarily due to the addition of SFC Bank.

Bank service charges, a large portion of which includes indirect costs incurred to provide services to QCBT's correspondent banking customer portfolio, increased 9% from the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2019, as well as comparing

the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of the prior year. As transaction volumes continue to increase and the number of correspondent banking clients increases, the associated expenses will also increase.

Losses on debt extinguishment, net were $148 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. These losses relate to the prepayment of certain FHLB advances. There were no losses on debt extinguishment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Correspondent banking expense increased 2% when comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2018 and increased 1% when comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of the prior year. 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 third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2018, and increased 48% when comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of the prior year. The increase was due to the addition of SFC Bank and the Bates Companies.

Other noninterest expense was down 23% when comparing the third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2018, and increased 9% when comparing the first nine months of 2019 to the same period of the prior year. Included in other noninterest expense are items such as subscriptions, sales and use tax and expenses related to wealth management. A portion of this increase is related to the addition of SFC Bank.

INCOME TAXES

In the third quarter of 2019, the Company incurred income tax expense of $3.6 million. During the first nine months of the year, the Company incurred income tax expense of $8.1 million. Following is a reconciliation of the expected income tax expense to the income tax expense included in the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was 19.1%, which was an increase from the effective tax rate of 15.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. The Company’s effective tax rate increased year over year as the Company’s growth in taxable income significantly outpaced the modest growth in tax exempt income. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 16.3%, which was an increase over the effective tax rate of 15.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. During the first quarter of 2019 and in conjunction with the Company’s year-end tax preparation process, the Company identified a one-time true-up adjustment of $715 thousand. Excluding this, the Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 14.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Following is a table that represents the major categories of the Company’s balance sheet. On August 13, 2019 the Company and RB&T entered into a definitive agreement with IB&T, a wholly owned subsidiary of Heartland Financial USA, Inc., pursuant to which IB&T will acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of RB&T for a cash payment. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019. As a result, certain assets and liabilities of RB&T are classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2019, which impacts balance sheet comparisons to prior periods.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company's total assets increased $97.5 million, or 2%, to a total of $5.3 billion. The Company’s net loan/lease portfolio decreased $295.3 million, which was entirely the result of classifying RB&T’s assets as held for sale. Deposits decreased $520.3 million in the third quarter of 2019, mainly as a result of classifying RB&T’s liabilities as held for sale, which included deposits of $451.5 million as of September 30, 2019. The remaining net decline in deposits of $69.0 million was driven primarily by a decline in higher cost public funds and brokered CDs, as the Company intentionally did not renew certain deposits as they matured. Borrowings increased $89.5 million in the third quarter of 2019 which consisted primarily of short-term FHLB advances to offset the decline 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.

Following is a breakdown of the Company's securities portfolio by type, the percentage of unrealized gains (losses) to carrying value on the total portfolio, and the portfolio duration:

Management monitors the level of unrealized gains/losses including performing quarterly reviews of individual securities for evidence of OTTI. Management identified no OTTI in any of the periods presented.

The duration of the securities portfolio lengthened modestly with the TEY on the portfolio increasing 27 basis points in the first nine months of 2019.

The Company has not invested in non-agency commercial or residential mortgage-backed securities or pooled trust preferred securities.

LOANS/LEASES

Excluding RB&T loans classified as held for sale, total loans/leases grew 9.1% on an annualized basis during the third quarter of 2019 and 9.4% year-to-date. The mix of the loan/lease types within the Company's loan/lease portfolio is presented in the following table.

Net loans/leases	$	3,574,154			$	3,869,415			$	3,692,907			$	3,610,309

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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, approximately 26% and 28% of the CRE loan portfolio was owner-occupied.

Over the past several quarters, the Company has been successful in shifting the mix of its commercial loan portfolio by adding more C&I loans. C&I loans decreased $78.7 million during the current quarter, however, excluding the impact of RB&T loans reclassified to held for sale, C&I loans grew $47.4 million during the current quarter.

Following is a listing of significant industries within the Company's CRE loan portfolio:

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 and 20‑year fixed rate residential real estate loans that meet certain credit guidelines.

Balance, ending	$	36,116	$	43,077	$	36,116	$	43,077

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, 2018, 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.

Classified Loans as a % of Total Loans/Leases		0.87	%		1.05	%		0.77	%		1.25	%

* 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.

The Company’s classified and criticized loans are at some of the lowest levels for the Company’s history.


	As of
	September 30, 2019		June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018		September 30, 2018
Allowance / Gross Loans/Leases	1.00	%	1.05	%	1.07	%	1.18	%
Allowance / NPLs	401.56	%	283.10	%	214.80	%	147.39	%

Although management believes that the allowance at September 30, 2019 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. 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.

See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company's allowance.

Includes government guaranteed portion of loans, as applicable.

(2)

Includes TDRs of $933 thousand at September 30, 2019, $902 thousand at June 30, 2019, $1.9 million at December 31, 2018, and $1.6 million at September 30, 2018.

(3)

Includes TDRs of $0 at September 30, 2019, $0 at June 30, 2019, $496 thousand at December 31, 2018, and $0 at September 30, 2018.

NPAs at September 30, 2019 were $13.2 million, down $9.9 million from June 30, 2019 and down $28.3 million from September 30, 2018. Excluding RB&T’s NPAs, the Company’s NPAs were down $2.5 million on a linked-quarter basis. The improvement was primarily attributed to the $2.0 million writedown of an OREO property.

The ratio of NPAs to total assets was 0.27% at September 30, 2019, down from 0.45% at June 30, 2019 and down from 0.87% at September 30, 2018.

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.

DEPOSITS

Excluding the impact of RB&T deposits reclassified to held for sale, deposits decreased $68.7 million during the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to the maturity and intentional nonreplacement of higher cost public funds and brokered CDs. The table below presents the composition of the Company's deposit portfolio.

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 industy 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
	September 30, 2019		June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018		September 30, 2018

The Company's federal funds purchased fluctuates based on the short-term funding needs of the Company's subsidiary banks.

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.

FHLB advances increased $90.1 million in the current quarter, as compared to the prior quarter due to the intentional runoff of non-core deposits.

The Company had subordinated notes totaling $68.3 million as of September 30, 2019. See Note 6 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our subordinated notes.

The Company renewed its revolving credit note in the second quarter of 2019. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details regarding this renewal.

It is management's intention to reduce its reliance on wholesale funding, including FHLB advances, wholesale structured repurchase agreements, 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, brokered deposits and wholesale structured repurchase agreements).

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 $264.9 million during the third quarter of 2019 and $263.2 million during the full year of 2019. The Company's on balance sheet liquidity position can fluctuate based on short-term activity in deposits and loans.

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 September 30, 2019, the subsidiary banks had 34 lines of credit totaling $419.1 million, of which $47.8 million was secured and $371.3 million was unsecured. At September 30, 2019, the full $419.1 million was available.

At December 31, 2018, the subsidiary banks had 33 lines of credit totaling $327.7 million, of which $1.7 million was secured and $326.0 million was unsecured. At December 31, 2018, $307.7 million of the $327.7 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 September 30, 2019, the full $20.0 million was available.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $501.0 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.

Changes in the interest rate environment.

The economic impact of past and any future terrorist attacks, acts of war or threats thereof and the response of the United States to any such threats and attacks.

The impact of cybersecurity risks.

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

Changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies, the FASB, the SEC or the PCAOB.

Unexpected results of acquisitions which may include failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.

The economic impact of exceptional weather occurrences such as tornadoes, floods and blizzards.

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

The imposition of tariffs or other governmental policies impacting the value of the agricultural or other products of our borrowers.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Table of Contents

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.

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 September 30,		As of December 31,		As of December 31,
INTEREST RATE SCENARIO	POLICY LIMIT		2019		2018		2017

100 basis point downward shift	(10.0)	%	0.4	%	0.7	%	0.3	%
200 basis point upward shift	(10.0)	%	(1.7)	%	(2.7)	%	(3.7)	%
300 basis point upward shock	(25.0)	%	(4.0)	%	(9.0)	%	(8.4)	%

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 September 30, 2019 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.
