Our annual report is being sent to you later than normal this year due to the recently completed merger of ISB Financial Corp. and MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. We normally reserve this space in our annual report to review in detail the prior years financial results. Because we just recently mailed our first quarter report to you, we will use this space to talk about recent efforts to bring two fine companies together and to peer into the future of this newly formed banking company.
Iowa State Bank & Trust Company was formed in 1934 in Iowa City in the depths of the Great Depression by a group of investors that included Ben Summerwill. The Mahaska County State Bank was formed in Oskaloosa in 1883 by a group of investors that included Harry Howard. From these modest beginnings emerged a banking company that in 2008 is among the largest five banks based in Iowa.
ISB Financial Corp. and MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. announced their intent to join companies in a merger of equals on September 12, 2007. Regulatory approval was received and the companies officially merged on March 14, 2008. Although ISB Financial Corp. is the surviving corporation, the companys name has been changed to MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. The company owns three banks, Iowa State Bank & Trust Company in Iowa City, MidWestOne Bank in Oskaloosa, and First State Bank in Conrad. Pending regulatory approval, we plan to merge the three banks into one bank in August of 2008. The resulting bank will have $1.5 billion in assets and span 21 communities and 29 locations in Southern and Eastern Iowa, with its headquarters in Iowa City.
Weve spent a lot of time talking to our primary four constituenciesour customers, employees, shareholders, and the people in our communitiessince the merger announcement. As weve often said, for any business to succeed, each of these four groups must be well served and we believe they will if we can execute our plans for the new company:
| Our customers will continue to see outstanding EDGE (Extraordinary Deeds through Genuine Efforts) service at each MidWestOne location. To assure excellence, we will continue to measure our service quality and we will not waver in our commitment to deepen relationships with our customers. In addition, the new company should be able to better leverage technology and new products that will benefit our customers and differentiate us, over time, from our competitors in most of our markets. |
| Our communities will continue to see the strong corporate citizen that theyve seen for many years. We are leaders in our communities. Our employees are leaders and our communities are better places because we are in them. This will not change. |
| Our employees have more opportunities to shine and to perform on a bigger stage than ever before. We have a solid leadership team consisting of the top officers from the two companies. Our culture will be to pay for performance and to reward and recognize good work at every level of the company. We realize that we must provide an excellent workplace environment to attract and retain top-notch employees. |
2
| Our shareholders are expected to have more liquidity than ever before with a NASDAQ traded stock. We believe that the efficiencies provided by the merger will provide our shareholders with a better earnings stream than could have been provided by either of the merged companies individually. |
As we look out on the current banking landscape, we see opportunity as well as risk. Newspapers and magazines are full of stories that chronicle a weaker U.S. economy. We see signs of weakness in Iowa, but as we stated in our first quarter shareholder letter, Iowa seems to be faring somewhat better than the nation as a whole at this time. We saw some deterioration in our loan portfolios in the first quarter of 2008 as measured by past-due loans and charge-offs. At the end of the first quarter, the combined loan loss reserve of our three banks stood at 1.10% of total period-end loans and non-performing assets stood at 1.03% of loans. There are always surprises both pleasant and unpleasant when managing a loan portfolio. That said, we are confident in our ability to navigate the choppy seas in which we find ourselves at this time.
Capital and liquidity are two words that are on everyones mind these days as the commercial banking system manages its way through the slowing economy. As of March 31, 2008, MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. had tangible equity to total assets of 8.50%. With an eye toward the unsettled markets experienced early in 2008, we have been building liquidity with the belief that a more liquid balance sheet would serve us well as 2008 unfolds. At March 31, our combined loan to deposit ratio stood at 93.07%. Our goal is to move this ratio into the mid to high 80s over time.
We see great opportunity in delivering trust and investment services, as well as real estate mortgage services, in the MidWestOne footprint. During 2008 and 2009, we will be seeking to add professionals in selected markets to provide these services to MidWestOne customers. ISB Financial Corp. had been able to cross the 30% threshold in terms of fee income as a percentage of total revenues. While this number has fallen to the 25% range with the merger, we believe adding trust and investment representatives, as well as delivering a better product line of single family real estate mortgage loans, can propel our fee income toward the 30% level over the next few years.
To summarize, the goal for the next 12-18 months is to move our loan-to-deposit ratio into the 80s, raise our non-interest income to total revenues toward 30%, and also to implement a disciplined approach to expense management. We believe that this path will produce a good and growing income stream for the company.
That brief financial blueprint, however, is only a part of the formula that will make MidWestOne successful. Will we continue to give our customers competitive products and exceptional service? Will we continue to be leaders in the communities in which we have banks? Will we be able to be successful in our efforts to deepen customer relationships and our salespeople be able to attract customers to MidWestOne? Will we be able to put together an energized staff, dedicated to assuring an affirmative answer to these questions?
This we know: your Board of Directors is committed to the notion that MidWestOne Financial Group has the potential to be one of Iowas banking leaders. We know that we see a growing core of key employees in our company who are dedicated to making the goals listed above a reality. We thank our directors and employees for all of their hard work over the past year. We look forward to sharing progress reports with you in our quarterly reports and in next years annual report. As always, thank you for your investment in MidWestOne and for your continued support.
Sincerely,

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of ISB Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

ISB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. | Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies |
Nature of business: ISB Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries (the Company) is a bank holding company that owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Iowa State Bank & Trust Company, Iowa City and 100% of the common stock of First State Bank, Conrad, Iowa. Iowa State Bank & Trust Company and First State Bank (collectively the Banks) provide services to individuals, businesses, governmental units and institutional customers in Johnson County, Iowa, West Liberty, Iowa, and within a territory approximately 20 miles from Conrad, Melbourne and Parkersburg, Iowa. The Banks are actively engaged in many areas of commercial banking, including: acceptance of demand, savings and time deposits; making commercial, real estate, agricultural and consumer loans, and other banking services tailored for its individual customers. The Investment and Trust Department of Iowa State Bank & Trust Company administers estates, personal trusts, conservatorships, pension and profit-sharing accounts along with providing other management services to customers.
Accounting estimates: 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 amount 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain significant estimates: The allowance for loan losses, unrealized gains and losses on debt securities available for sale, annual impairment testing of goodwill, estimated discount rate and expected long-term rate of return used in actuarial determination of pension plan asset or liability, and the fair values of investment securities and other financial instruments involve certain significant estimates made by management. These estimates are reviewed by management routinely and it is reasonably possible that circumstances that exist may change in the near-term future and that the effect could be material to the financial statements.
Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary banks. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Presentation of cash flows: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes cash on hand and amounts due from banks (including cash items in process of clearing). Cash flows from loans originated by the Banks, deposits and federal funds purchased and sold and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reported net.
Reclassification: Certain amounts in the 2006 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.
Investment securities: Certain debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and recorded at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as available for sale and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income.
Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost, that are deemed to be other than temporary, are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In determining whether other than temporary impairment exists, management considers: (1) the length of time and the extent of which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.
Loans: Loans that the Banks have the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs and the allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.

Note 1. | Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90-days past due, unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. Credit card loans and other personal loans are typically charged off no later than 180-days past due. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date, if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Loans held for sale: Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value, as determined by aggregate outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.
Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with the mortgage servicing rights released. Gains or losses on sales of mortgage loans with servicing released are recognized based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related mortgage loans sold.
Allowance for loan losses: The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management and is based upon managements periodic review of the collectiblity of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers nonclassified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect managements estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects that margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Banks will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include: payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrowers prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial, construction and commercial real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the loans obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.

Note 1. | Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
Large groups of smaller-balance, homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Banks do not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.
Transfers of financial assets: Revenue from the origination and sale of loans in the secondary market is recognized upon the transfer of financial assets and accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when: (1) the assets have been isolated from the Banks, (2) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the assets it received and no condition both constrains the transferee from taking advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a trivial benefit to the transferor and (3) the Banks do not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.
Revenue recognition: Trust fees, deposit account service charges and other fees are recognized when the services are provided or when customers use the services.
Credit-related financial instruments: In the ordinary course of business, the Banks have entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The estimated useful lives and primary method of depreciation for the principal items are as follows:
Type of Assets |
Years | Depreciation Method | ||
Buildings and leasehold improvements |
10 30 | Straight-line | ||
Furniture and equipment |
3 10 | Straight-line |
Other real estate owned: Real estate parcels acquired in satisfaction of loans are included in other assets at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs of disposal. When a property is acquired, the excess of the recorded investment in the property over its estimated fair value, less estimated costs of disposal, if any, is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent declines in the estimated fair value are recorded in a valuation allowance account. Additions to or reductions from valuation allowances, along with net operating results of the property, are included in other operating expenses. There was no balance as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Bank-owned life insurance: Bank-owned life insurance is carried at cash surrender value with increases/decreases reflected as income/expense in the statement of income.
Employee benefit plans: Annual expense of a defined benefit pension plan includes service cost (measured by projected unit credit method), interest on the projected benefit obligation, actual return on plan assets and other amortization and deferred amounts specified by Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements No. 87 and No. 158.
Deferred benefits under a salary continuation plan are charged to expense during the period the participating employees attain full eligibility.

Stock-based compensation: The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized over the service period for all awards granted subsequent to the Companys adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company accounted for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value method, as outlined under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and its related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized for grants issued prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) since the options were granted with an exercise price equal to market value at the date of grant.
Income taxes: The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. Income tax expense is generally allocated as if the Holding Company and its subsidiaries file separate income tax returns. Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. The evaluation of a tax position taken is considered by itself and not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.
Interest and penalties related to income taxes are recorded as miscellaneous expense in the statements of income.
Earnings per share: Basic per-share amounts are computed by dividing net income (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator). Diluted per share amounts assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock, unless the effect is to reduce the loss or increase the income per common share from continuing operations.
Following is a reconciliation of the denominator:
Year Ended December 31, | ||||||
2007 | 2006 | 2005 | ||||

Goodwill: Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill has an indefinite life, but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company established September 30 as the date for its annual impairment test. The annual impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount were to exceed the fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized. The Company has completed the annual impairment test and concluded there was no impairment as of September 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
Trust assets: Trust assets, other than cash deposits held by the Banks in fiduciary or agency capacities for its customers, are not included in the accompanying financial statements because such accounts are not assets of the Banks.
Comprehensive income: Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted in active markets. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy. The requirements of FAS 157 are first effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, the FASB decided that an entity need not apply this standard to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until the subsequent year. Accordingly, our adoption of this standard on January 1, 2008 is limited to financial assets and liabilities, and any nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company is currently assessing the potential effect of SFAS No. 157 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which provides all entities, including not-for-profit organizations, with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of the Statement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply the complex provisions of hedge accounting. Certain specified items are eligible for the irrevocable fair value measurement option as established by Statement No. 159. Statement No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this Statement will have on its financial position, results of operation and cash flows.
In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a final consensus on Issue 06-04, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. The consensus stipulates that an agreement by an employer to share a portion of the proceeds of a life insurance policy with an employee during the postretirement period is a postretirement benefit arrangement required to be accounted for under SFAS No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 12, Omnibus Opinion1967. The consensus concludes that the purchase of a split-dollar life insurance policy does not constitute a settlement under SFAS No. 106 and, therefore, a liability for the postretirement obligation must be recognized under SFAS No. 106 if the benefit is offered under an arrangement that constitutes a plan or under APB No. 12 if it is not part of a plan. Issue 06-04 is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company has endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies and is currently assessing the financial statement impact of implementing EITF 06-04.
In March 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a final conclusion on Issue 06-10, Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. The consensus concludes that a liability must be recognized for the postretirement obligation related to a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement in accordance with SFAS No. 106 or APB No. 12. Any asset should be recognized and measured based on the nature and substance of the collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The effective date of EITF 06-10 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the financial statement impact of implementing EITF 06-10.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised), Business Combinations. The Statement establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, goodwill and any noncontrolling interests and identifies related disclosure requirements for business combinations. Measurement requirements will result in all assets, liabilities, contingencies and contingent consideration being recorded at fair value on the acquisition date, with limited exceptions. Acquisition costs and restructuring costs will generally be expensed as incurred. This Statement is effective for the Company for business combinations in which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009.

In reaching the conclusion that the impairments disclosed above are temporary and not other-than-temporary, the Company evaluates the nature of the U.S. Treasury Securities, U.S. Government agency securities, mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligations, and other securities, and the credit ratings of the state and municipal bonds. None of the impairment was due to the deterioration in credit quality of the issuers that might result in the non-collection of principal and interest. The cause of the impairments is due to changes in interest rates and the Company has not recognized any unrealized loss in income because the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investment securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery.

Note 8. | Income Taxes |
The company files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal and Iowa state jurisdictions. Income tax returns for the years 2004 through 2007, with few exceptions, remain open to examination by Federal and state taxing authorities.
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), as of January 1, 2007. The Interpretation provides clarification on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As a result of the Companys evaluation of the implementation of FIN 48, no significant income tax uncertainties were identified. Therefore, the Company recognized no adjustment for unrecognized income tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2007.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in miscellaneous expense. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized no material interest or penalties.

Pension plan assets are allocated by an automated system that determines a target allocation based on expected returns consistent with the Banks risk tolerance. The allocations may vary within a range. The asset allocation at December 31, 2005 was not an accurate picture of the long term desired allocation. Funds were shifted to cash before December 31, 2005 prior to reallocating to equity and bond index funds. Upon reallocation in January 2006, the allocation was 63% equities, 34% debt and 3% cash equivalents.

Note 10. | Stock Compensation Plans |
The Company has a Stock Option Plan for designated officers and directors of the Company and subsidiaries whereby the Company may grant options to purchase common stock, with a maximum term of five years, at the fair value of the stock on the date of the grant. As of December 31, 2007, options for up to 121,385 shares may be granted. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements with measurement based upon the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized $2,000 and $1,000, respectively, in compensation expense for stock options.
The following table illustrates the effect on the Companys reported net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123(R) to stock-based employee compensation prior to the adoption date. This table only relates to options granted prior to the adoption of 123(R) which are not subject to the recording of expense under 123(R):

Note 11. | Regulatory Capital Requirements and Restrictions on Subsidiary Cash |
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the 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 Companys and Banks financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the 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 classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, that the Company and the Banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of December 31, 2007, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Banks as well capitalized 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 and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Banks category. The Companys and the Banks actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 are also presented in the table.

Note 11. | Regulatory Capital Requirements and Restrictions on Subsidiary Cash (Continued) |
The ability of the Company to pay dividends to its shareholders is dependent upon dividends paid by the Banks. The Banks are subject to certain statutory and regulatory restrictions on the amount they may pay in dividends. To maintain acceptable capital ratios in the Banks, a portion of their retained earnings are not available for the payment of dividends. To maintain a ratio of capital-to-assets of 8%, retained earnings, totaling approximately $2,669,000 as of December 31, 2007 are available for the payment of dividends.
The Banks are required to maintain reserve balances in cash on hand or on deposit with Federal Reserve Banks. Reserve balances totaled $3,532,000 and $4,892,000 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Note 12. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk: The Banks are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.
The Banks use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. A summary of the Banks commitments at December 31, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:
2007 | 2006 | |||||
(In Thousands) | ||||||
Commitments to extend credit |

Note 12. | Commitments and Contingencies (Continued) |
The Banks exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Banks evaluate each customers creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Banks upon extension of credit, is based on managements credit evaluation of the party. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, crops, livestock, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and, generally, have terms of one year or less. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Banks hold collateral, which may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, equipment and income-producing properties, supporting those commitments, if deemed necessary. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Banks would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Banks could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount shown in the summary above. If the commitment is funded, the Banks would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. At December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, no amounts have been recorded as liabilities for the Banks potential obligations under these guarantees.
Contingencies: In the normal course of business, the Banks are involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Concentrations of credit risk: Substantially all of the Banks loans, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Banks market areas. Although the loan portfolio of the Banks are diversified, approximately 72% of the loans are real estate loans and approximately 8% are agriculturally related. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 3. Commitments to extend credit are primarily related to commercial loans and home equity loans. Standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers. Investments in securities issued by state and political subdivisions involve certain governmental entities within Iowa. Investment securities of Iowa political subdivisions totaled $68,545,000 as of December 31, 2007. No individual municipality exceeded $2,701,000.

Note 13. | Related Party Transactions |
Certain directors of the Company and the Banks and companies with which they are affiliated and certain principal officers are customers of, and have banking transactions with, the Banks in the ordinary course of business. Such indebtedness has been incurred on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons.
The following is an analysis of the changes in the loans to related parties:
Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||
2007 | 2006 | |||||||
(In Thousands) | ||||||||
Balance, beginning |
$ | 5,555 | $ | 6,320 | ||||

1,357 | 36 | ||||||
Collections |
(60 | ) | (801 | ) | ||||
Balance, ending |
$ | 6,852 | $ | 5,555 | ||||
None of these loans are past due, nonaccrual or restructured to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of deterioration in the financial position of the borrower.
Deposits from related parties are accepted subject to the same interest rates and terms as those from nonrelated parties.
Note 14. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires all entities to disclose the estimated fair value of its financial instrument assets and liabilities. For the Company, substantially all its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments as defined. Many of the Banks financial instruments, however, lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and a willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. It is also the Banks general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments and not to engage in trading or sales activities. Therefore, significant estimations and present value calculations were used for the purpose of this disclosure.
The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. When quoted market values are not available, fair values are based upon estimates using present value or other techniques. These assumptions are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. In this regard, fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in an immediate settlement. Since the term financial instruments does not include all assets and liabilities of the Company or the Banks, the aggregate fair value amounts of the financial instruments presented do not represent the underlying value of the net assets (financial and nonfinancial). Some financial instruments, all nonfinancial instruments and other factors relevant to the underlying value of the Company and the Banks are excluded from the disclosure.

Note 14. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued) |
The Banks determine estimated fair values using the best available data and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. For those loans and deposits with variable interest rates, it is presumed that estimated fair values generally approximate the recorded book balances. The estimation methodologies used at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:
| Cash and due from banks, noninterest-bearing demand deposits, federal funds sold and purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and accrued interest are instruments with carrying values that approximate market value. |
| Loans held for sale have an estimated fair value based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold on the secondary market. |
| Financial instruments actively traded in a secondary market have been valued using quoted available market prices. |
| Fixed rate financial instruments with stated final maturities have been valued using present value discounted cash flows with a discount rate approximating current market for similar assets and liabilities. |
| Variable rate financial instruments with no stated maturities have an estimated fair value equal to both the amount payable on demand and the recorded book balance. |
Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on these estimated fair values.
The carrying or face amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments were as follows:

Note 15. | Common Stock Split |
On July 11, 2006, the Companys Board of Directors declared a three-for-one stock split to be effected in the form of a stock dividend. Accordingly, an additional 3,454,066 shares of common stock were issued and distributed on August 18, 2006 to shareholders of record on August 8, 2006. The net income per share of common stock and cash dividends per share of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, have been retroactively adjusted for this split. In addition, all stock options have been retroactively restated for the stock split in accordance with the terms of the plan.
Note 16. | Merger |
On September 12, 2007, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to merge with MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. of Oskaloosa, Iowa. The transaction will be a merger of equals with the resulting company to be called MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. Headquarters of the merged entity will be located in Iowa City. Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. would exchange one share of their stock for 0.95 share of the Companys stock. The resulting stock will be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the new stock symbol MOFG. The transaction is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval and it is anticipated that it will be consummated in the first quarter of 2008. The two bank subsidiaries of ISB Financial Corp. and the bank subsidiary of MidWestOne Financial Group, Inc. will be merged into one bank charter later in 2008, with the resulting bank to be called MidWestOne Bank. Through December 31, 2007 the Company has incurred and capitalized $788,000 of merger-related costs carried in Other Assets.

Note 18. | Segment Reporting |
The Company manages its core bank operations and prepares management reports with a primary focus on each banking subsidiary. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 1. The Company derives a majority of its revenues from interest income and the chief operating decision maker relies primarily on net interest income to assess the performance of the segments and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. The Company does not have operating segments other than those reported. Parent company information is included in the other category, and is deemed to represent an overhead function rather than an operating segment.
There are no significant transactions between operating segments other than transfers of loan participations at par value with no gain or loss.
The following is a summary of selected operating segment information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005:

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded net income of $6,648,000, or $1.29 per share basic and diluted. This compares with $5,798,000, or $1.11 per share basic and diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2006. Net income was $850,000, or 14.7%, greater in 2007 due to increases in both net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.
Total assets of the Company increased $33,312,000 or 5.0% to $701,983,000 as of December 31, 2007 from $668,671,000 as of December 31, 2006. The Companys total loans outstanding increased $22,942,000 or 6.1% to $401,554,000 at December 31, 2007 from $378,612,000 at December 31, 2006; while deposits increased $33,714,000 or 6.8% to $526,615,000 as of December 31, 2007 from $492,901,000 at December 31, 2006.
Return on average assets is a measure of profitability that indicates how effectively a financial institution utilizes its assets. It is calculated by dividing net income by average total assets. The Companys return on average assets was 0.98% for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 0.87% for the same period in 2006. The increased return for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006 results from net income increasing at a much greater rate than the increase in average assets. Return on average equity indicates what the Company earned on its shareholders investment and is calculated by dividing net income by average total shareholders equity. The return on average equity for the Company was 8.83% at December 31, 2007 compared to 8.16% at December 31, 2006. The increase in the return on average shareholders equity results from net income growing at a faster rate than average shareholders equity grew.
Various operating and equity ratios for the Company are presented in the table below for the years indicated. The dividend payout ratio represents the percentage of the Companys prior years net income that is paid to
4
shareholders in the form of cash dividends. Average equity to average assets is a measure of capital adequacy that presents the percentage of average total shareholders equity compared to the average assets of the Company. The equity to assets ratio expresses this ratio using the period-end amounts instead of on an average basis.

Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to December 31, 2006
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the total of interest income earned on earning assets less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by changes in the volume and yields on earning assets and the volume and rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is a ratio measurement of the net return on interest earning assets computed by dividing net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis by the annual average balance of all interest earning assets.
Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled $19,267,000, an increase of $718,000 or 3.9% compared with the $18,549,000 in net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was due primarily to higher market interest rates followed by greater loan volumes. The net interest margin (on a tax-equivalent basis) also increased during 2007 to 3.27% compared with 3.12% for 2006 as the increase in net interest income was proportionately greater than the increase in average earning assets.
Total interest income increased $2,997,000, or 8.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase in interest income was experienced in all earning asset categories (loans, investment securities and federal funds sold and interestbearing balances). Interest income on loans totaled $27,564,000 for 2007, an increase of $1,714,000 or 6.6% compared with 2006. The higher interest income on loans was due primarily to higher market interest rates and secondarily to growth in loan volumes. The increase in the national prime rate has benefited the Company as the overall average rate on the total loan portfolio increased to 7.11% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with 6.83% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The average volume of loans outstanding for 2007 was $9,593,000 greater than the average volume of loans for 2006. Most of this increase was in the commercial, financial and agricultural category followed by the residential 1-4 family real estate loan category. Interest income on investment securities increased $1,018,000, or 11.1%, in 2007 to $10,193,000. This compares with $9,175,000 in 2006. The average balance of investment securities declined $10,585,000 as the proceeds from maturing securities were utilized to fund loan growth and to reduce dependency on Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The average tax-equivalent yield on the investment portfolio increased to 4.91% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with 4.17% for the year ended December 31, 2006 as lower-yielding securities matured and were replaced with securities having a higher market rate, which helped to offset the decrease in volume. The overall yield on earning assets increased to 6.25% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from 5.76% for the year ended December 31, 2006, while total earning assets averaged $637,521,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, or $3,022,000 higher than for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Growth in deposits, growth in federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements and higher market interest rates contributed to an increase in total interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. Total interest expense increased $2,279,000, or 13.6%, for 2007 to $19,038,000, up from $16,759,000 for 2006. Total deposits averaged $8,038,000 higher for 2007 compared with 2006, while the average rate paid on these deposits during 2007 increased to 3.35% from 2.85% for 2006. Interest expense on deposits was $14,798,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $2,450,000
5
or 19.8% from the $12,348,000 in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006. The primary factor contributing to this increase in interest expense on deposits is higher market interest rates. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company averaged $49,629,000 in federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements compared with $48,378,000 for 2006. Interest expense on federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements increased $236,000 to $2,114,000 for 2007 compared with $1,878,000 for 2006. This was also primarily due to higher market interest rates. The interest rates on federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements correlate directly with the actions taken by the Federal Reserve Bank in raising the discount rate during 2006 and 2007. The average rate paid by the Company on federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements increased to 4.26% for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with 3.88% for the year ended December 31, 2006, which increased interest expense. The average balance of Other Borrowings (primarily Federal Home Loan Bank advances) was $9,430,000 lower for the year ended December 31, 2007, while the average rate paid increased slightly to 4.65% for 2007 from 4.59% for 2006. The decrease in Other Borrowings was a strategic decision to reduce the Companys dependence on high cost funding alternatives during a rising interest rate environment and was accomplished through use of the Companys investment securities portfolio. As liquidity provided, maturing securities were used to pay off maturing advances. As a consequence, interest expense on Other Borrowings was $407,000 lower for 2007 compared with 2006. The average rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities increased to 3.55% for 2007, compared with 3.12% for 2006.
The following table presents a comparison of the average balance of earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, interest income and expense, and average yields and costs for the years indicated. Interest income on tax-exempt securities is reported on a fully tax-equivalent basis assuming a 34% tax rate. Dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities results in such yields and costs. Nonaccrual loans are included in the loan category.

The following table sets forth an analysis of volume and rate changes in interest income and interest expense of the Companys average earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities reported on a fully tax-equivalent basis assuming a 34% tax rate. The table distinguishes between the changes related to average outstanding balances (changes in volume holding the initial interest rate constant) and the changes related to average interest rates (changes in average rate holding the initial outstanding balance constant). The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses recorded by the Company for 2007 was $500,000, a decrease of $50,000 or 9.1%, compared with the provision of $550,000 for 2006. Management determined an appropriate provision based on its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in relationship to a continuing review of current collection risks within its loan portfolio, identified problem loans, the current local and national economic conditions, actual loss experience, regulatory policies, and industry trends. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for 2007 compared with 2006 primarily reflected the improved credit quality of the Companys loan portfolio and local economic conditions as management evaluated the allowance for loan losses and the provision for losses required to maintain an adequate level in the allowance.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income including investment securities gains (losses), net increased $1,234,000, or 16.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $8,806,000.

The Company recognized losses of $256,000 from the sale of investment securities available for sale during the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with realized losses of $108,000 for the same period during 2006.

investment securities portfolio in view of the interest rate yield curve. Excluding these security losses recognized, noninterest income was $9,062,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with $7,680,000 for 2006, an increase of $1,382,000 or 18.0%. Trust and investment fees increased $799,000, or 27.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $3,688,000 from $2,889,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was due primarily to an increase in the amount of assets under management for both the Trust Department and the Investor Center. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $147,000 or 7.6% for the year ended December 31, 2007 with much of the additional income due to increased service charge fees following a revision of our fee schedule in the first quarter of the year. Income on sale of mortgage loans and servicing fees increased $245,000 or 25.4% reflecting the recognition of mortgage servicing rights. Mortgage origination fees are dependent on new mortgage loan originations and customers refinancing real estate loans to take advantage of lower market interest rates. Depending on future interest rates, the level of refinancing activity may change. Other service fees and commissions totaled $2,084,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $191,000 or 10.1% compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due increases in a number of smaller fee areas of the Companycredit life sales, debit/credit card fees, and commissions from realty sales.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense totaled $18,620,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with $17,680,000 for 2006, an increase of $940,000 or 5.3%. Salaries and employee benefits increased $845,000, or 8.4 %, due primarily to normal annual compensation adjustments, greater health insurance costs and increased incentives. Net occupancy expense increased $62,000, or 4.8%, to $1,353,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $1,291,000 for the same period in 2006. This i
