CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying consolidated statements of income and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and the consolidated statements of condition as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 include the accounts and transactions of MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and its six wholly-owned subsidiaries, MidWestOne Bank & Trust, Central Valley Bank, Pella State Bank, MidWestOne Bank, MidWestOne Investment Services, Inc. and MIC Financial, Inc. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2004, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

The results for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2004 may not be indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2004, or for any other period.

In the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks, and federal funds sold.

Federal income tax expense for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 was computed using the consolidated effective federal tax rate. The Company also recognized income tax expense pertaining to state franchise taxes payable individually by the subsidiary banks.

Basic earnings per common share computations are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock actually outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 was 3,759,673 and 3,828,419, respectively. The weighted average number of shares for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 was 3,788,203 and 3,871,562, respectively. Diluted earnings per share amounts are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares and all dilutive potential shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share used a weighted average number of shares outstanding of 3,847,760 and 3,941,184 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The weighted average number of shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 was 3,892,459 and 3,974,208, respectively.

In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) issued a Statement of Position (“SOP”) 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loan or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer”, that addresses the accounting for differences between contractual and expected future cash flows from an investor’s initial investment in certain loans and debt securities. It includes such loans acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. The SOP limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investor’s estimate of undiscounted expected future principal and interest cash flows (expected future cash flows) over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. The implementation of this SOP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004, and may have an effect on the Company’s accounting treatment of its Loan Pool Participations. Management is evaluating the effects that the implementation of this SOP will have on the Company’s financial results but does not believe the effects will be material.

In March 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments”. This SAB summarizes the views of the staff regarding the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America to loan commitments accounted for as derivative instruments. The provisions of this SAB were effective after March 31, 2004. The adoption of this SAB did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A significant estimate that is particularly sensitive to change is the allowance for loan losses.

On July 30, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of Koogler Company of Iowa (“KCI”), a sole proprietorship, which was a broker and a registered investment advisor. The acquisition was a purchase transaction with the Company acquiring KCI’s book of business in exchange for $450,000 in cash and 6,601 shares of the Company’s stock with a fair market value of $115,000. Contemporaneously with this acquisition, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary called MidWestOne Investment Services, Inc. to provide investment advisory and brokerage services throughout the banking offices of the Company utilizing the expertise of Mr. Koogler and his staff.

On February 1, 2003, the Company effectively completed its acquisition of the Belle Plaine Service Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Citizens Bank & Trust Company of Hudson, Iowa. The acquisition was treated as a purchase transaction in accordance with FASB Statements No. 141 and No. 142, with the results of operations from February 1, 2003 included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The following table summarizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of February 1, 2003:

Citizens Bank & Trust was merged into Mahaska State Bank as of the close of business on June 13, 2003. At the time of the merger, Mahaska State Bank adopted the new name of MidWestOne Bank & Trust.

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company’s two thrift subsidiaries, Central Valley Bank and MidWestOne Bank, began operations as commercial banks. The charters of these two institutions were converted to state banks in order to improve operational efficiencies and provide regulatory consistency.

The Company has a stock incentive plan under which up to 750,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to options or other awards which may be granted to officers, key employees and certain independent directors of the Company. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The option’s maximum term is ten years, with vesting occurring at the rate of thirty-three percent on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, sixty-six percent vesting on the two-year anniversary, and one hundred percent vesting on the three-year anniversary of the date of the grant. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for this plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in the financial statements for the stock options.

Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock incentive plan been determined in accordance with FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year consolidated financial statements in order to conform to current year presentation.

PART I — Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004

The Company recorded net income of $1,589,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, compared with net income of $1,402,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $187,000 or 13 percent. The increase in net income was primarily due to improved net interest margin, which was partially offset by a reduction in noninterest income. Basic earnings per share for the third quarter of 2004 were $.42 versus $.37 for the third quarter of 2003. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2004 were $.41 and $.36 for the third quarter of 2003. Actual weighted average shares outstanding were 3,759,673 and 3,828,419 for the third quarter of 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company’s return on average assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 was 1.00 percent compared with a return of ..92 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The Company’s return on average equity was 11.34 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2004 versus 9.83 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2003.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is computed by subtracting total interest expense from total interest income. Fluctuations in net interest income can result from the changes in the volumes of assets and liabilities as well as changes in interest rates. The Company’s net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 increased $334,000 or 6 percent to $5,857,000 from $5,523,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Total interest income was $132,000 or 1 percent greater in the third quarter of 2004 compared with the same period in 2003 primarily due to an increase in the volume and yields on loan pool participations. The increase in interest income was partially offset by lower interest income generated through decreased yields in loans and lower volumes and yields on investment securities. Total interest expense for the third quarter of 2004 decreased $202,000 or 6 percent compared with the same period in 2003 due to a lower cost of funds, reflecting the interest rate environment. The Company’s net interest margin on a federal tax-equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2004 increased to 4.02 percent from 3.92 percent in the third quarter of 2003. Net interest margin is a measure of the net return on interest-earning assets and is computed by dividing annualized net interest income by the average of total interest-earning assets for the period. The Company’s overall yield on earning assets declined to 6.31 percent for the third quarter of 2004 compared with 6.43 percent for the third quarter of 2003. The rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased in the third quarter of 2004 to 2.53 percent compared to 2.79 percent for the third quarter of 2003.

Interest income and fees on loans decreased $24,000 in the third quarter of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Average loans were $18,690,000 or 5 percent higher in the third quarter of 2004 compared with 2003. The increase in loan volume reflects new loan originations. Lower interest rates in the third quarter of 2004 compared with 2003 offset the interest income generated by the additional loan volume. The average yield on loans decreased to 6.08 percent for the third quarter of 2004, compared to 6.39 percent in the third quarter of 2003. The yield on the Company’s loan portfolio is affected by the amount of nonaccrual loans (which do not earn interest income), the mix of the portfolio (real estate loans generally have a lower overall yield than commercial and agricultural loans), the effects of competition and the interest rate environment on the amounts and volumes of new loan originations, and the mix of variable rate versus fixed rate loans in the Company’s portfolio. Additionally, many of the borrowers have refinanced their real estate mortgages outside the Company to take advantage of long-term fixed-rate loans. The Company has typically not retained this type of loan in its portfolio in order to reduce interest rate risk. Competition in the local markets served by the Company has caused the pricing of new and many existing loans to be at or

near the national prime rate. Historically, the Company had been able to price many of these loans higher than prime. Recent increases in the prime rate have not offset the competitive factors to increase the overall loan portfolio yield.

Interest and discount income on loan pool participations increased $297,000 or 15 percent in the third quarter of 2004 compared with 2003. Interest income and discount collected on the loan pool participations for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was $2,226,000 compared with $1,929,000 collected in the third quarter of 2003. The yield on loan pool participations was 9.58 percent for the third quarter of 2004 compared with 8.91 percent for the same period in 2003. The average loan pool participation investment balance was $6,534,000 or 8 percent higher in the third quarter of 2004 than in 2003 as pools were purchased during the period. These loan pool participations are pools of performing and distressed and nonperforming loans that the Company has purchased at a discount from the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the underlying loans. Income is derived from this investment in the form of interest collected and the repayment of the principal in excess of the purchase cost which is herein referred to as “discount recovery.” The Company recognizes interest income and discount recovery on its loan pool participations on a cash basis. The loan pool participations have traditionally been a high-yield activity for the Company, but this yield has fluctuated from period to period based on the amount of cash collection, discount recovery, and net collection expenses of the servicer in any given period. The income and yield on loan pool participations may vary in future periods due to the volume and discount rate on loan pools purchased.

Interest income on investment securities decreased $142,000 or 13 percent in the quarter ended September 30, 2004, compared with the quarter ended September 30, 2003 due to decreased volume and yield in the portfolio. Interest income on investment securities totaled $960,000 for the third quarter of 2004 compared with $1,102,000 in 2003. The average balance of investments in 2004 was $96,574,000 versus $100,941,000 in the third quarter of 2003. The yield on the Company’s investment portfolio in the third quarter of 2004 decreased to 4.19 percent from 4.55 percent in the comparable period of 2003 reflecting new purchases and reinvestment of maturing securities at lower market interest rates.

Interest expense on deposits was $304,000 or 13 percent less in the third quarter of 2004 compared with 2003 mainly due to the low national and local market interest rate environment. Average interest-bearing deposits for the third quarter of 2004 were $1,996 greater compared with the same period in 2003. The weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 1.98 percent in the third quarter of 2004 compared with 2.28 percent in the third quarter of 2003. The full benefit of lower market deposit rates may not be realized if the competitive environment forces the Company to pay above-market rates to attract or retain deposits in future periods. Recently, the Company has noted higher market rates and has increased the rates it pays on deposits accounts in response to the competition.

Interest expense on borrowed funds was $102,000 or 9 percent greater in the third quarter of 2004 compared with 2003, reflecting the Company’s higher average borrowed funds in 2004 compared with 2003. Average borrowed funds for the third quarter of 2004 were $20,246,000 greater compared to the same period in 2003. The weighted average rate paid on borrowed funds declined to 4.55 percent in the third quarter of 2004 compared with 5.09 percent in the third quarter of 2003.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $158,000 in the third quarter of 2004 compared with $146,000 in the third quarter of 2003. Management determines an appropriate provision based on its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in relationship to a continuing review of problem loans, the current economic conditions, actual loss experience and industry trends. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate based on the inherent risk in the portfolio as of September 30, 2004; however, growth in the loan portfolio and the uncertainty of the general economy require that management continue to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and make additional provisions in future periods as deemed necessary.

Other Income

Other income results from the charges and fees collected by the Company from its customers for various services performed, data processing income received from nonaffiliated banks, miscellaneous other income and gains (or losses) from the sale of investment securities held in the available for sale category. Total other income was $149,000 lower in the third quarter of 2004 compared with 2003 as a result of reduced secondary market loan origination fees and lower gains realized on the sale of available for sale investment securities sold. Available for sale investment security gains totaled $26,000 in the third quarter of 2004 compared with $53,000 in the 2003 period. Secondary market loan origination fees declined to $101,000 in the third quarter of 2004 compared to $225,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003.

Other Expense

Total other noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 was $91,000 or 2 percent lower compared to noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2003. Other expense includes all the costs incurred to operate the Company except for interest expense, the loan loss provision and income taxes. Salaries and benefits expense for the third quarter of 2004 was $10,000 lower compared with 2003. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $72,000 in the third quarter of 2004 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2003 due to the higher depreciation expense on data processing equipment and increased maintenance agreement expense on check handling equipment. Professional fees were $37,000 greater in 2004 due primarily to attorney fees related to loan litigation. Other operating expenses declined $166,000, or 16 percent in the third quarter of 2004.

Income Tax Expense

The Company incurred income tax expense of $846,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared with $769,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The effective income tax rate as a percent of income before taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 was 34.7 percent and 35.4 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate varies from the statutory rate due to state taxes and the amount of tax-exempt income earned during the period.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004

The Company recorded net income of $4,596,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared with net income of $4,128,000 for the first nine months of 2003, an increase of $468,000 or 11 percent. The increase in net income was primarily due to improved net interest margin, which was partially offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses. Basic earnings per share for the first nine months of 2004 were $1.21 versus $1.07 for the first nine months of 2003. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $1.18 and $1.04 for the first nine months of 2003. Actual weighted average shares outstanding were 3,788,203 and 3,871,562 for the first

nine months of 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company’s return on average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was .98 percent compared with a return of .92 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The Company’s return on average equity was 10.77 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 versus 9.79 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

The Company consummated its acquisition of the Belle Plaine Service Corp. (“BPSC”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“CB&T”) effective February 1, 2003. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 141, with the results of operations from February 1, 2003 forward included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. On June 13, 2003, Citizens Bank & Trust was merged into Mahaska State Bank (“MSB”) with the resulting entity adopting the new name of MidWestOne Bank & Trust (“MBT”).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

The Company’s net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased $1,726,000 or 10 percent to $18,201,000 from $16,475,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Total interest income was $300,000 or 1 percent greater in the first nine months of 2004 compared with the same period in 2003 primarily due to increased volume of loans and higher volume and yields on loan pool participations, which was offset by lower yields on loans and investment securities. Total interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased $1,426,000 or 13 percent compared with the same period in 2003 due to a lower cost of funds, reflecting the interest rate environment. The Company’s net interest margin on a federal tax-equivalent basis for the first nine months of 2004 increased to 4.20 percent from 3.99 percent in the first nine months of 2003. The Company’s overall yield on earning assets declined to 6.48 percent for the first nine months of 2004 compared with 6.71 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to 2.53 percent compared to 3.02 percent for the first nine months of 2003.

Interest income and fees on loans decreased $246,000 or 1 percent in the first nine months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Average loans were $25,922,000 or 7 percent higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared with same period in 2003. The increase in loan volume reflects new loan originations. Lower interest rates in the first nine months of 2004 compared with 2003 offset the additional loan volume. The average yield on loans decreased to 6.09 percent for the first nine months of 2004, compared to 6.63 percent in the first nine months of 2003.

Interest and discount income on loan pool participations was $874,000 or 14 percent greater for the first nine months of 2004 compared with 2003. Interest income and discount collected on the loan pool participations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $7,186,000 compared with $6,312,000 collected in the first nine months of 2003. The yield on loan pool participations was 10.87 percent for the first nine months of 2004 compared with 9.92 percent for the same period in 2003. The average loan pool participation investment balance was $3,239,000 or 4 percent higher in 2004 than in 2003 as pools were purchased during the period. During the first quarter of 2004, settlements and collection of loans in litigation was significantly higher than historical average.

Interest income on investment securities decreased $306,000 or 9 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2003 due to decreased yield in the portfolio. Interest income on investment securities totaled $3,195,000 for the first nine months of 2004 compared with $3,501,000 in 2003. The average balance of investments in 2004 was $104,646,000 versus $105,344,000 in the first nine months of 2003. The yield on the Company’s investment portfolio in the first

nine months of 2004 decreased to 4.31 percent from 4.68 percent in the comparable period of 2003 reflecting new purchases and reinvestment of maturing securities at lower market interest rates.

Interest expense on deposits was $1,627,000 or 21 percent less in the first nine months of 2004 compared with 2003 mainly due to the low national and local market interest rate environment. Average interest-bearing deposits for the first nine months of 2004 were $4,559,000 greater compared with the same period in 2003. The weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 1.99 percent in the first nine months of 2004 compared with 2.54 percent in the first nine months of 2003.

Interest expense on borrowed funds was $201,000 or 6 percent greater in the first nine months of 2004 compared with 2003, reflecting the Company’s higher average borrowed funds in 2004 compared with 2003. Average borrowed funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $18,130,000 or 20 percent greater compared to the same period in 2003. The weighted average rate paid on borrowed funds declined to 4.60 percent in the first nine months of 2004 compared with 5.22 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $688,000 in the first nine months of 2004 compared with $447,000 in the first nine months of 2003. Much of the additional provision for loan losses in the first nine months of 2004 was necessitated by loan charge-offs during the period.

Other Income

Total other income was $51,000 or 2 percent higher in the first nine months of 2004 compared with 2003 as a result of gains realized on the sale of available for sale investment securities sold to fund loan pool participation purchases. Available for sale investment security gains totaled $136,000 in the first nine months of 2004 compared with $54,000 in the 2003 period. Reduced secondary market loan origination fees of $283,000 were somewhat offset by increased deposit service charges.

Other Expense

Total other noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $1,072,000 or 9 percent greater compared to noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2003. Salaries and benefits expense for the first nine months of 2004 was $843,000 or 12 percent greater compared with 2003. Approximately $411,000 of this increase was attributable to the retirement of one of the bank subsidiary presidents, with the remainder of the increase due to additional employees, increased salary levels and increased health insurance costs. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $286,000 or 14 percent in 2004 compared with the first nine months of 2003 due to the higher depreciation expense on data processing equipment and increased maintenance agreement expense on check handling equipment. Professional fees were $158,000 greater in 2004 due primarily to attorney fees related to loan litigation and fees paid to outside consultants. Other operating expenses were $170,000 lower in 2004 compared with the first nine months of 2003.

Income Tax Expense

The Company incurred income tax expense of $2,428,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared with $2,432,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The effective income tax rate as a percent of income before taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 was 34.6 percent and 37.1 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate varies from the statutory rate due to state taxes and the amount of tax-exempt income earned during the period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets as of September 30, 2004 were $633,463,000 compared with $623,306,000 as of December 31, 2003, an increase of $10,157,000 or 2 percent. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had $11,340,000 federal funds purchased compared with $10,450,000 purchased as of December 31, 2003. Federal funds are purchased on a short-term basis to meet liquidity needs.

Investment securities classified as held to maturity declined to $7,866,000 as of September 30, 2004, compared with $10,596,000 on December 31, 2003. Available for sale securities were sold and maturing securities were not reinvested to meet loan demand and to purchase loan pool participations.

Loans

Total loans were $398,852,000 as of September 30, 2004, compared with $377,017,000 as of December 31, 2003, an increase of $21,835,000 or 6 percent. Much of the Company’s growth in loan volume was in the commercial real estate category with increases also occurring in residential real estate loans as well as in the commercial loan category. New loan originations in the Oskaloosa, Pella and Waterloo markets contributed to the loan growth. As of September 30, 2004, the Company’s loan to deposit ratio was 87.3 percent compared with a year-end 2003 loan to deposit ratio of 83.2 percent. As of September 30, 2004, loans secured by real estate (including 1 to 4 family, multi-family, commercial and agricultural) comprised the largest category in the portfolio at approximately 66 percent of total loans. Commercial loans were the next largest category at 17 percent. Agricultural loans were approximately 14 percent of the total loan portfolio and loans to individuals constituted approximately 3 percent.

Loan Pool Participations

As of September 30, 2004, the Company had loan pool participations of $93,387,000, an increase of $4,328,000 or 5 percent from the December 31, 2003 balance of $89,059,000. The increase in the loan pool participations is the result of purchases of $39,351,000 during the first nine months of 2004, which was offset by collections of loan pool participations. The loan pool investment balance shown as an asset on the Company’s Statement of Condition represents the discounted purchase cost of the loan pool participations. The average loan pool participation balance of $88,331,000 for the first nine months of 2004 was $3,239,000 or 4 percent higher than the average balance of $85,092,000 for the first nine months of 2003.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill increased to $13,538,000 as of September 30, 2004 from $12,976,000 as of December 31, 2003, reflecting the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired of Koogler Company of Iowa. Total goodwill from the transaction was $562,000. Goodwill is subject to testing for impairment in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 142. No impairment write-down of goodwill has been recorded.

Other intangible assets decreased to $1,033,000 as of September 30, 2004 from the December 31, 2003 total of $1,244,000. The gross carrying amount of other intangible assets and the associated accumulated amortization at September 30, 2004 is presented in

the table below. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $64,000 and $88,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, amortization expense for intangible assets was $211,000 and $256,000, respectively.

Amortization of intangible assets is recorded using an accelerated method based on the estimated life of the core deposit intangible. Projections of amortization expense are based on existing asset balances and the remaining useful lives. The following table shows the estimated future amortization expense.

Deposits

Total deposits as of September 30, 2004 were $456,891,000 compared with $453,125,000 as of December 31, 2003, an increase of $3,766,000 or 1 percent. Certificates of deposit remain the largest category of deposits at September 30, 2004 representing approximately 50 percent of total deposits.

Borrowed Funds/Notes Payable

The Company had $11,340,000 in Federal Funds purchased on September 30, 2004. There was $10,450,000 in Federal Funds purchased on December 31, 2003. During the first nine months of 2004, the Company had an average balance of Federal Funds purchased of $7,123,000. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $83,639,000 as of September 30, 2004 compared with $78,944,000 as of December 31, 2003. The Company utilizes Federal funds purchased and Federal Home Loan Bank Advances as a supplement to customer deposits to fund earning assets. Notes payable increased to $10,700,000 on September 30, 2004 compared to $9,000,000 as of December 31, 2003. The increase in notes payable was primarily used to repurchase Company stock. Long-term debt in the form of a trust-preferred security was $10,310,000 as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

Nonperforming Assets

The Company’s nonperforming assets totaled $3,800,000 (.95 percent of total loans) as of September 30, 2004, compared to $3,292,000 (.87 percent of total loans) as of December 31, 2003. All nonperforming asset totals and related ratios exclude the loan pool participations. The following table presents the categories of nonperforming assets as of September 30, 2004 compared with December 31, 2003:

From December 31, 2003 to September 30, 2004, the Company’s nonaccrual loans increased $296,000. Loans ninety days past due increased $367,000. Troubled debt restructurings decreased $81,000 and other real estate owned decreased by $74,000. The Company’s allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2004 was $4,860,000, which was 1.22 percent of total loans as of that date. This compares with an allowance for loan losses of $4,857,000 as of December 31, 2003, which was 1.29 percent of total loans. The allowance for loan losses increased $3,000 during the first nine months of 2004 as a result of net charge-offs taken during the period being only slightly lower than the provision for loan loss taken. As of September 30, 2004, the allowance for loan losses was 127.92 percent of nonperforming assets compared with 147.57 percent as of December 31, 2003. Based on the inherent risk in the loan portfolio, management believes that as of September 30, 2004, the allowance for loan losses is adequate. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, the Company’s net loan charge-offs were

$55,000 compared with net charge-offs of $6,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Year-to-date net charge-offs through September 30, 2004 were $685,000 compared with $161,000 for the first nine months of 2003. Much of the additional charge-offs that occurred in 2004 were attributable to bankruptcy filings of two commercial credits and two agricultural lines of credit. Prospects for recovery of these charge-offs are deemed minimal. Management does not believe that these charge-offs are reflective of an overall deterioration in the Company’s credit quality.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

Capital Resources

Total shareholders’ equity was 8.9 percent of total assets as of September 30, 2004 and 9.0 percent as of December 31, 2003. The Company’s Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 11.0 percent of risk-weighted assets as of September 30, 2004 and was 11.2 percent as of December 31, 2003, compared to a 4.0 percent regulatory requirement. Risk-based capital guidelines require the classification of assets and some off-balance-sheet items in terms of credit-risk exposure and the measuring of capital as a percentage of the risk-adjusted asset totals. Tier 1 Capital is the Company’s total common shareholders’ equity plus the trust preferred security reduced by goodwill. Management believes that, as of September 30, 2004, the Company and its subsidiary banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of that date, all the bank subsidiaries were “well capitalized” under regulatory prompt corrective action provisions. On May 24, 2004, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase of up to $2,000,000 until December 31, 2004. Subsequent to this announcement and prior to September 30, 2004, the Company repurchased 117,500 shares on the open market at a cost of $1,997,575. For additional information pertaining to the share repurchase program during the third quarter, see the response in Part II – Item 2 of this Form 10-Q. An additional 7,879 shares were reacquired by the Company as payment for the exercise of options. A total of 1,334 shares were issued during the third quarter for options exercised under previously awarded grants. Year-to-date 2004, a total of 71,938 shares have been issued for options exercised. Cash dividends of $.17 per share were paid to shareholders on September 15, 2004.

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves meeting the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers. The Company conducts liquidity management on both a daily and long-term basis; and it adjusts its investments in liquid assets based on expected loan demand, projected loan maturities and payments, estimated cash flows from the loan pool participations, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and the objectives of its asset/liability management program. The Company had liquid assets (cash and cash equivalents) of $12,085,000 as of September 30, 2004, compared with $14,540,000 as of December 31, 2003. Investment securities classified as available for sale could be sold to meet liquidity needs if necessary. Additionally, the bank subsidiaries maintain lines of credit with correspondent banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank that would allow them to borrow federal funds on a short-term basis if necessary. The Company also maintains a line of credit with a major commercial bank that provides liquidity for the purchase of loan pool participations and other corporate needs. Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity as of September 30, 2004 to meet the needs of borrowers and depositors.

Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is engaged in various issues involving litigation. Management believes that none of this litigation is material to the Company’s results of operations.

Acquisition of Securities Brokerage Company

On June 10, 2004, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of the Koogler Company of Iowa, a sole proprietorship, which was a registered investment advisor. It is planned to offer improved investment advisory and brokerage services utilizing the expertise of Mr. Koogler and his staff throughout the banking offices of the Company. The Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary called MidWestOne Investment Services, Inc. to provide these services. Closing for the transaction occurred on July 30, 2004.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has identified two critical accounting policies and practices relative to the financial condition and results of operation. These two accounting policies relate to the allowance for loan losses and to loan pool accounting.

The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s estimate. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb losses in the existing portfolio. In evaluating the portfolio, management takes into consideration numerous factors, including current economic conditions, prior loan loss experience, the composition of the loan portfolio, and management’s estimate of probable credit losses. The allowance for loan loss is established through a provision for loss based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio, the composition of the portfolio, specific impaired loans, and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loss experience, and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate allowance for loan loss.

The loan pool accounting practice relates to management’s estimate that the investment amount reflected on the Company’s financial statements does not exceed the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral securing the purchased loans. In evaluating the purchased loan portfolio, management takes into consideration many factors, including the borrowers’ current financial situation, the underlying collateral, current economic conditions, historical collection experience, and other factors relative to the collection process.

In the event that management’s evaluation of the level of the allowance for loan losses is inadequate, the Company would need to increase its provision for loan losses. If the estimated realizable value of the loan pool participations is overstated, the Company’s yield on the loan pools would be reduced.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Part I – Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Market risk is the risk of earnings volatility that results from adverse changes in interest rates and market prices. The Company’s market risk is primarily comprised of interest rate risk arising from its core banking activities of lending and deposit taking. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates may adversely affect the Company’s net interest income. Management continually develops and

applies strategies to mitigate this risk. The Company has not experienced any material changes to its market risk position since December 31, 2003, from that disclosed in the Company’s 2003 Form 10-K Annual Report. Management does not believe that the Company’s primary market risk exposures and how those exposures were managed in the first nine months of 2004 changed when compared to 2003.

The Company uses a third-party computer software simulation modeling program to measure its exposure to potential interest rate changes. For various assumed hypothetical changes in market interest rates, numerous other assumptions are made such as prepayment speeds on loans and securities backed by mortgages, the slope of the Treasury yield curve, the rates and volumes of the Company’s deposits and the rates and volumes of the Company’s loans. This analysis measures the estimated change in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis of the Company’s interest rate risk was presented in the Form 10-K filed by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2003.
