Highlight of Business Operations:

Centennial Bank On January 1, 2008, we acquired Centennial Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary, Centennial Bank. Centennial Bank had total assets of $234.1 million, loans of $192.8 million and total deposits of $178.8 million on the date of acquisition. The consideration for the merger was $25.4 million, which was paid approximately 4.6%, or $1.2 million, in cash and 95.4%, or $24.3 million, in shares of our common stock. In connection with the acquisition, $3.0 million of the purchase price, consisting of $139,000 in cash and 154,502 shares (adjusted for the 8% stock dividend in 2008 and the 10% stock dividend in 2010) of our common stock, was placed in escrow related to possible losses from identified loans and an IRS examination. In the first quarter of 2008, the IRS examination was completed which resulted in $1.0 million of the escrow proceeds being released. In the fourth quarter of 2009, approximately $334,000 of losses from the escrowed loans was identified. After we were reimbursed 100% for those losses, the remaining escrow funds were released. In addition to the consideration given at the time of the merger, the merger agreement provided for additional contingent consideration to Centennials stockholders of up to a maximum of $4.0 million, which could be paid in cash or our common stock at the election of the former Centennial accredited stockholders, based upon the 2008 earnings performance. The final contingent consideration was computed and agreed upon in the amount of $3.1 million on March 11, 2009. We paid this amount to the former Centennial stockholders on a pro rata basis on March 12, 2009. All of the former Centennial stockholders elected to receive the contingent consideration in cash. As a result of this transaction, we recorded total goodwill of $15.4 million and a core deposit intangible of $694,000 during 2008 and 2009.

Investment in White River Bancshares In January 2005, we purchased 20% of the common stock during the formation of White River Bancshares, Inc. of Fayetteville, Arkansas for $9.1 million. White River Bancshares owns all of the stock of Signature Bank of Arkansas, with branch locations in northwest Arkansas. In January 2006, White River Bancshares issued an additional $15.0 million of common stock. To maintain our 20% ownership, we made an additional investment of $3.0 million in January 2006. During April 2007, White River Bancshares acquired 100% of the stock of Brinkley Bancshares, Inc. in Brinkley, Arkansas. As a result, we made a $2.6 million additional investment in White River Bancshares on June 29, 2007 to maintain our 20% ownership. On March 3, 2008, White River Bancshares repurchased our 20% investment in their company which resulted in a one-time gain of $6.1 million.
