Mid-Wisconsin Financial Services, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly Mid-Wisconsin Financial Services, Inc.’s (“Mid-Wisconsin”) and Mid-Wisconsin Bank’s, its wholly owned banking subsidiary, consolidated balance sheets, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The consolidated balance sheets include the accounts of all subsidiaries.  All material intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, fair value of financial instruments, the allowance for loan losses, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, deferred tax assets, uncertain income tax positions and contingencies. Management does not anticipate any material changes to estimates in the near term. Factors that may cause sensitivity to the aforementioned estimates include but are not limited to:  external market factors such as market interest rates and employment rates, changes to operating policies and procedures, and changes in applicable banking regulations. Actual results may ultimately differ from estimates, although management does not generally believe such differences would materially affect the consolidated financial statements in any individual reporting period.

Note 2 – Loss per Common Share

Loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common equity by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common equity by the weighted average number of shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock awards, if any.  Presented below are the calculations for basic and diluted loss per common share.

The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) represents Mid-Wisconsin’s estimate of probable and inherent credit losses in Mid-Wisconsin Bank’s loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. In general, estimating the amount of the ALLL is a function of a number of factors, including but not limited to changes in the loan portfolio, net charge-offs, trends in past due and impaired loans, and the level of potential problem loans, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.  To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provisions for loan losses could be required that could adversely affect our earnings or financial position in future periods. Allocations of the ALLL may be made for specific loans but the entire ALLL is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off or for which an actual loss is realized.

A year-to-date summary of the changes in the ALLL by portfolio segment for the periods indicated is as follows:

The allocation methodology used by Mid-Wisconsin includes specific allocations for impaired loans evaluated individually for impairment based on collateral values and for the remaining loan portfolio collectively evaluated for impairment primarily based on historical loss rates and other qualitative factors.  Loan charge-offs and recoveries are based on actual amounts charged-off or recovered by loan category.  Mid-Wisconsin allocates the ALLL by pools of risk within each loan portfolio.

The following table presents nonaccrual loans by portfolio segment as of the dates indicated as follows:

   
March 31,
2013
   
December 31, 2012
 
Commercial business
  $ 1,132     $ 1,125  
Commercial real estate

Installment
    0       0  
Total nonaccrual loans
  $ 12,407     $ 11,852  
 
Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments.  Additionally, whenever Mid-Wisconsin’ management became aware of facts or circumstances that may adversely impact the collectability of principal or interest on loans, it was Mid-Wisconsin’s practice to place such loans on nonaccrual status immediately.  Previously accrued and uncollected interest on such loans was reversed, amortization of related loan fees was suspended, and income was recorded only to the extent that interest payments were subsequently received in cash after a determination was made that the principal balance of the loan was collectible.  If collectability of the principal was in doubt, payments received were applied to loan principal.  Loans were returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due were brought current and future payments were reasonably assured.

Loans risk rated acceptable or better are credits performing in accordance with the original terms, have adequate sources of repayment and little identifiable collectability risk.  Special mention credits have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s attention.  If left unremediated, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment of the credit.  Substandard loans typically have weaknesses in the paying capability of the obligor and/or guarantor or in collateral coverage.  These loans have a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt and are characterized by the possibility that Mid-Wisconsin Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses of substandard loans with the added characteristic that the collection of all amounts due according to the original contractual terms is highly unlikely and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable.  Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible.

Effective June 30, 2012, all substandard and doubtful loans are classified as impaired in the ALL calculation and are evaluated individually for impairment based on collateral values.  This change in methodology was a large reason for the increase in impaired loans, as previously only substandard and doubtful loans with collateral shortfalls were classified as impaired.

Note 5 – Subsequent Event

Mid-Wisconsin entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Nicolet Bankshares, Inc. (“Nicolet”), on November 28, 2012, as amended January 17, 2013 (“the Merger Agreement”), whereby Mid-Wisconsin would be merged with and into Nicolet, and the Bank would be merged with and into Nicolet National Bank.   The merger was consummated on April 26, 2013, in a predominantly stock-for-stock transaction, with each outstanding share of Mid-Wisconsin common stock converted into the right to receive 0.3727 shares of Nicolet common stock or cash in certain limited instances pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The system integration was completed, and the eleven branches of Mid-Wisconsin opened on April 29, 2013, as Nicolet National Bank branches.

As a condition to and prior to the consummation of the merger, Mid-Wisconsin redeemed its TARP Preferred Stock at par plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to the U.S. Treasury and brought all the accrued and unpaid interest on its junior subordinated debentures current.
