The Company applies internal risk ratings to all loans. The risk ratings range from 10, which is the highest quality rating, to 70, which indicates an impending charge-off. The following definitions apply to the internal risk ratings:

Risk rating 10 – Excellent:

Commercial – Credits in this category are virtually risk-free and are well-collateralized by cash-equivalent instruments. The repayment program is well-defined and achievable. Repayment sources are numerous. No material documentation deficiencies or exceptions exist.

Consumer – This grade is reserved for loans secured by cash collateral on deposit at the Bank with no risk of principal deterioration.

Risk rating 20 – Strong:

Commercial and Consumer – This grade is reserved for loans secured by readily marketable collateral, or loans within guidelines to borrowers with liquid financial statements. A liquid financial statement is a financial statement with substantial liquid assets relative to debts. These loans have excellent sources of repayment, with no significant identifiable risk of collection, and conform in all respects to Bank policy, guidelines, underwriting standards, and Federal and State regulations (no exceptions of any kind).

Note 4: (Continued)

Risk rating 30 – Good:

Commercial – This grade is reserved for the Bank’s top quality loans. These loans have excellent sources of repayment, with no significant identifiable risk of collection. Generally, loans assigned this risk grade will demonstrate the following characteristics: (1) conformity in all respects with Bank policy, guidelines, underwriting standards, and Federal and State regulations (no exceptions of any kind), (2) documented historical cash flow that meets or exceeds required minimum Bank guidelines, or that can be supplemented with verifiable cash flow from other sources, and (3) adequate secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidity, liquidation of collateral, or liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor.

Consumer – This grade is reserved for the Bank’s top quality loans. These loans have excellent sources of repayment, with no significant identifiable risk of collection, and they: (1) conform to Bank policy, (2) conform to underwriting standards and (3) conform to product guidelines.

Risk rating 31 – Moderate:

Commercial – This grade is given to acceptable loans. These loans have adequate sources of repayment, with little identifiable risk of collection. Loans assigned this risk grade will demonstrate the following characteristics: (1) general conformity to the Bank’s policy requirements, product guidelines and underwriting standards, with limited exceptions – any exceptions that are identified during the underwriting and approval process have been adequately mitigated by other factors, (2) documented historical cash flow that meets or exceeds required minimum Bank guidelines, or that can be supplemented with verifiable cash flow from other sources and (3) adequate secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidity, liquidation of collateral, or liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor.

Consumer – This grade is given to acceptable loans. These loans have adequate sources of repayment, with little identifiable risk of collection. Consumer loans exhibiting this grade may have up to two mitigated guideline tolerances or exceptions.

Risk rating 32 – Fair:

Commercial – This grade is given to acceptable loans that show signs of weakness in either adequate sources of repayment or collateral, but have demonstrated mitigating factors that minimize the risk of delinquency or loss. Loans assigned this grade may demonstrate some or all of the following characteristics: (1) additional exceptions to the Bank’s policy requirements, product guidelines or underwriting standards that present a higher degree of risk to the Bank – although the combination and/or severity of identified exceptions is greater, all exceptions have been properly mitigated by other factors, (2) unproved, insufficient or marginal primary sources of repayment that appear sufficient to service the debt at this time – repayment weaknesses may be due to minor operational issues, financial trends, or reliance on projected (not historic) performance and (3) marginal or unproven secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidation of collateral and liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor.

Consumer – This grade is given to acceptable loans that show signs of weakness in either adequate sources of repayment or collateral, but have demonstrated mitigating factors that minimize the risk of delinquency or loss. Consumer loans exhibiting this grade generally have three or more mitigated guideline tolerances or exceptions.

Risk rating 40 – Special Mention:

Commercial – Special Mention loans include the following characteristics: (1) loans with underwriting guideline tolerances and/or exceptions and with no mitigating factors, (2) extending loans that are currently performing satisfactorily but with potential weaknesses that may, if not corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Bank’s position at some future date – potential weaknesses are the result of deviations from prudent lending practices, and (3) loans where adverse economic conditions that develop subsequent to the loan origination that don’t jeopardize liquidation of the debt but do substantially increase the level of risk may also warrant this rating.

Consumer - Special Mention loans include the following characteristics: (1) loans with guideline tolerances or exceptions of any kind that have not been mitigated by other economic or credit factors, (2) extending loans that are currently performing satisfactorily but with potential weaknesses that may, if not corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Bank’s position at some future date – potential weaknesses are the result of deviations from prudent lending practices, and (3) loans where adverse economic conditions that develop subsequent to the loan origination that do not jeopardize liquidation of the debt but do substantially increase the level of risk may also warrant this rating.

Note 4: (Continued)

Risk rating 50 – Substandard:

Commercial and Consumer – A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt; they are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans consistently not meeting the repayment schedule should be downgraded to substandard. Loans in this category are characterized by deterioration in quality exhibited by any number of well-defined weaknesses requiring corrective action. The weaknesses may include, but are not limited to: (1) high debt to worth ratios, (2) declining or negative earnings trends, (3) declining or inadequate liquidity, (4) improper loan structure, (5) questionable repayment sources, (6) lack of well-defined secondary repayment source and (7) unfavorable competitive comparisons. Such loans are no longer considered to be adequately protected due to the borrower’s declining net worth, lack of earnings capacity, declining collateral margins and/or unperfected collateral positions. A possibility of loss of a portion of the loan balance cannot be ruled out. The repayment ability of the borrower is marginal or weak and the loan may have exhibited excessive overdue status or extensions and/or renewals.

Risk rating 60 – Doubtful:

Commercial and Consumer – Loans classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified Substandard, plus the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values highly questionable and improbable. However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur which would salvage the debt. Among these events are: (1) injection of capital, (2) alternative financing and (3) liquidation of assets or the pledging of additional collateral. The ability of the borrower to service the debt is extremely weak, overdue status is constant, the debt has been considered for non-accrual status, and the repayment schedule is questionable. Doubtful is a temporary grade where a loss is expected but is presently not quantified with any degree of accuracy. Once the loss position is determined, the amount is charged off.

Risk rating 70 – Loss:

Commercial and Consumer – Loans classified Loss are considered uncollectable and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this worthless loan even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Probable Loss portions of Doubtful assets should be charged against the Reserve for Loan Losses. Loans may reside in this classification for administrative purposes for a period not to exceed the earlier of thirty (30) days or calendar quarter-end.

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of the collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

During 2011 the Company changed the way that it calculated the historical loss rates that were applied to the various risk pools of loans in determining the allowance for loan losses for loans not individually tested for impairment. Loss rates are calculated by loan type including the major categories of construction and land development, 1-4 family residential, commercial real estate secured, commercial and industrial and consumer loans. The Company has historically used a conservatively adjusted thirteen year historical period for loss rates, believing that this time frame incorporated a broader range of economic and business cycles than a shorter time frame and gave a better estimate of expected losses. In September 2011, management began using a shorter historical period of five years, calculating a five year average loss rate by class of loan. This change was prompted by management and regulatory concerns about the current economic environment, observed industry changes and trends as well as management's view of the current business cycle and environment. Because of a conservative treatment of the former longer historic loss rate period - primarily by adjusting the thirteen year average loss rate by two standard deviations in an attempt to include low probability events in the loss rate - there was no material difference between it and the new five year convention. The five year convention is a straight historical average which naturally includes recent high-loss years. Given the immaterial difference in the two calculations, no adjustment was required to the provision for loan losses. Management does believe that going forward the five year historical loss calculation will better reflect the risks inherent in the recent and current credit environment and that it is more appropriate than an even shorter historical period (e.g., three years) because a shorter period would too heavily weight improved periods and too quickly remove recent periods that included larger losses caused by factors that could still reasonably exist latent in the makeup of the loan class.

The Company uses environmental factors to adjust loss rates to reflect economic conditions and other circumstances that imply risk of loss in the current environment that is not necessarily reflected in the historical loss rates. At December 31, 2011 the Company adjusted the five year loss rates by an economic environmental factor based on recessionary conditions and an illiquid market for undeveloped real estate collateral. The loss rate applied to commercial real estate loans was adjusted upward by 10 basis points. The loss rate applied to commercial, agricultural and municipal loans was adjusted upward by 50 basis points given their dependency on cash flows which are at risk absent a growing economy.

Note 4: (Continued)

During the third quarter of 2012 the Company added environmental factors of approximately 10 basis points to commercial real estate loans and 25 basis points to commercial loans for economic uncertainty in the small business environment, reflective of slow sales growth in the Company's small business markets.

Restructured loans are considered to be impaired loans. A troubled debt restructuring occurs when a creditor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. That concession either stems from an agreement between the creditor and the debtor or is imposed by law or a court. The following table presents information about the Company’s restructured loan portfolio as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:
