TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Dacotah Banks, Inc. experienced a slower than normal rate of asset growth during 2013, but once again produced
record earnings. Anticipating yet another year of low interest rates and strong competition for quality loans in the
banking industry, management chose to control growth, improve capital ratios and concentrate on maintaining net
interest margins. There was little incentive during the year to compete for deposits as the loan portfolio grew at a
rate of only 4.5 percent, and portfolio securities matured and re-priced at lower yields.
Interest rates remain very low; the prime rate
dropped to 3.25 percent on December 16,
2008, and it has stayed there since. Yields
on loans are low; however, yields available in
the securities portfolio are even lower. In the
current environment profitable asset growth
is dependent on growing the loan portfolio;
however, loan growth nationally was
negatively impacted by significant decreases
in mortgage lending activity, causing most
banks to compete aggressively for quality
loans, and the pricing reflects the competitive
environment.
The Company’s total assets increased 2.2
percent during 2013 and most of that
growth can be attributed to the purchase in
September of Donnelly Bancshares, Inc. of
Morris, Minnesota, and its affiliates, United
Farmers and Merchants State Bank, with
$40 million of assets, and United American
Agency, a casualty insurance agency.
We believe United Farmers and Merchants
State Bank, with locations in Morris and
Chokio, Minnesota, and United American
Agency will prove to be great additions
to the Company. United Farmers and
Merchants State Bank had been owned
and operated by three generations of the
Erstad family for 101 years and we are
pleased and honored to have
the opportunity to continue
the valuable service the
Erstads and their banking
professionals provided
the Donnelly, Morris and
Chokio communities.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The Company’s 2013 net income was
$18.38 million, an improvement of 3
percent compared to the $17.85 million
earned in 2012. Non-interest income was
a significant contributor to the higher
earnings, increasing 4 percent over 2012
despite a significant decrease in fees
earned from the sale of 1- to 4-family
residential loans, an important element
of non-interest income, from $2.6 million
during 2012 to $1.7 million during 2013.
Earnings contributions from insurance and
trust activities more than made up for the
drop in fees from the sale of mortgages.
Consistent with national trends, the
Company’s net income was positively
influenced by a lower level of provisions
for loan and lease losses. Provisions during
2013 were $5.25 million compared to
$6.75 million during 2012.
Net interest yield on earning assets
improved slightly form 3.84 percent to
3.86 percent and compares favorably with
the national average of 3.26 percent. The
Company’s loan ratios kept pace with its
growth: the loan-to-deposit and loan-toasset ratios at year end were 82.82 percent
and 72.99 percent respectively compared
to 80.76 percent and 71.39 percent at the
end of year 2012.
GROWTH
The Company’s total assets at the end
of 2013 were $2.111 billion compared to
$2.065 billion at the end of 2012. As
mentioned earlier, the Company chose
to control deposit growth during
the year. Quality loans were actively
pursued as were relationship-based
deposits; however, the Company
carefully monitored interest paid on
certificates of deposits, resulting in
total deposit growth of only
1.9 percent from $1.826
billion to $1.860 billion.
The loan portfolio
grew 4.5 percent
from $1.474 billion
to $1.540 billion in
a very competitive
environment, with
much of the growth
once again generated in our western North
Dakota markets.
The Dacotah Banks, Inc. Vision Statement
says that “[w]e will continue to pursue
opportunities to expand our presence in
South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota
and surrounding states when and where
appropriate.” As mentioned earlier, a
significant portion of the growth in assets
during 2013 came as a result of the purchase
of United Farmers and Merchants State Bank
and United American Agency. We believe
the bank and agency purchase provided the
Company with a good opportunity to enter
the state of Minnesota. The entities are in
excellent condition with modern buildings
and are located in a very good agricultural
area. Morris is a thriving county seat with
modern healthcare facilities, a branch of
the University of Minnesota and a strong
business sector. The purchase was of a size
and nature that had almost no impact on the
Company’s capital, and the market and staff
provide an excellent opportunity for growth.
STRENGTH
Dacotah Banks, Inc. capital levels remain
strong. The Company‘s measured growth
and good earnings during 2013 contributed
to improved capital levels. As of December
31, 2013, on a consolidated basis the
Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.88
percent compared to 9.61 percent a year
earlier; Tier 1 risk-based capital was 12.04
percent compared to 11.71 percent a year
earlier; and total risk-based capital was
13.29 percent compared to 12.89 percent
a year earlier. The Company is wellpositioned to meet and exceed all capital
definitions and levels that are scheduled to
phase in over the next few years.
The Company continues to diversify and
add markets. Mention was made above of
the loan volume added through markets in
North Dakota. Increased lending to other
sectors reduces dependence on agricultural
loans. At December 31, 2013, loans to
agriculture still represent 43.3 percent of
total loans. The Company’s agriculture loan
portfolio is performing well as is the total
loan portfolio. On December 31, 2013,
non-performing loans represented only 1.06
percent of total loans compared to 1.61
percent one year earlier. The Company’s
allowance for loan and lease losses at the
end of 2013 was $21.3 million compared to
$18.9 million at the end of 2012.
SHAREHOLDER VALUE
The Company will be fifty years old on
November 10, 2014. Organized as Dacotah
Bank Holding Company, the Company
began operations by bringing banks held
by some of its original shareholders into
the newly formed bank holding company.
Those early banks in Mobridge, Webster
and Aberdeen were committed to serving
farms, ranches and small communities.
That commitment persists today and
is illustrated by activities described
throughout this letter.
Shareholder value cannot be discussed
without reflection on our growth since
the Company began and particularly our
growth and success since the farm and
ranch crisis of the 1980s. Looking back at
what contributed to those years of crisis
prompts us to make some comparisons.
Thirty years ago at the end of 1983, the
Company had $218 million in assets, $14.9
million in equity, $990 thousand in annual
earnings and a primary capital ratio, which
compares closely to today’s Tier I leverage
ratio, of 7.78 percent and the Company
paid a stock dividend during the year. At
the end of 2013, the Company had $2.111
billion in assets, $211.7 million in equity,
$18.4 million in annual earnings, a Tier I
Leverage Capital Ratio of 9.88 percent,
and the Company paid $3.6 million in cash
dividends during the year.
The dividends paid during 2013 totaled
$3.20 per share and marks the 25th
consecutive year of cash dividend
payments. Additionally, the relatively
restrained level of dividends provided for
significant retained earnings that will allow
the Company to grow organically while
taking advantage of strategic opportunities
to expand by acquisition or by developing
new branches. The book value per share of
the Company’s stock increased 5.5 percent
from $178.82 on December 31, 2012 to
$188.71 on December 31, 2013.
COMMENTS ON 2013
Flat asset growth, higher earnings, higher
capital levels, increased reserves and everincreasing resources applied to changing
banking law and regulation describe
activity at the Company during 2013.
By the end of 2013 total assets had
increased only $46 million, a 2.2 percent
increase over 2012. The growth was
roughly the size of the Morris, Minnesota
acquisition. The Company also enjoyed
significant liquidity, experienced modest
loan growth and had no need to
aggressively pursue deposit growth;
deposits had increased by only $35 million,
a 1.9 percent increase over 2012. The
controlled deposit growth coupled with a
4.5 percent increase in loans allowed the
Company to slightly increase its net interest
margin, maintain and improve earnings,
improve its capital levels and increase its
allowance for loan and lease losses.
Since the loan portfolio grew at a rate
faster than deposits, the Company was
able to utilize low-yielding liquidity in the
investment portfolio to fund loan growth.
The Company’s loan-to-deposit ratio
increased from 80.76 percent at year-end
2012 to 82.82 percent at year-end 2013.
We believe these levels are appropriate
and manageable.
The slower rate of growth coupled with
good earnings allowed the Company
to improve its capital ratios and the
Company’s allowance for loan and lease
losses improved from 1.27 percent at yearend 2012 to 1.36 percent at year-end 2013.
The Company’s Boards of Directors and
management are committed to growth,
but during 2013 it seemed prudent to
restrain growth and to concentrate instead
on earnings, capital and loan and lease
loss reserves. Difficulty in finding quality
loans has been a challenge for the entire
industry, and it has been particularly
challenging for smaller and rural banks.
During 2013, the Boards and management
devoted significant resources and effort
to two of the Company’s strategic plan
priorities: “management and delivery of
products and services that meet the needs
of current and prospective customers”
and “effective management of the variety
of risks inherent in operating a banking
and financial services company with $2.75
billion in assets.” The two priorities are
closely tied. To remain relevant and to
grow we must meet the needs of both our
traditional customers and generations of
customers who demand and will continue
to demand newer and more innovative
products and product delivery. New
products and delivery systems, however,
are costly and carry with them an increased
exposure to fraud and other risks, but it is
clear that if we are to remain competitive,
we need to make the investment in such
products and services and effectively
manage the risks.
and management envision a company
with 2.25 billion in assets by the end of
2014, and we continue to develop the
infrastructure for a $2.75 billion company.
The Company is nearing completion of a
comprehensive document imaging system
and is just beginning to reap the benefits
of a maturing data warehouse function,
both of which will greatly assist the Boards
and management as they execute growth
plans. The Company has the systems and
personnel to be competitive as the world
of banking changes.
Also during 2013 the Company began
planning for a de novo branch in
Jamestown, North Dakota. Regulatory
approval has been received, land has
been purchased, a market president is at
work, building plans have been developed
and construction on a new bank building
in Jamestown will begin during the
second quarter of 2014. Jamestown is
a growing community of over 15,000
people and is well located just 100 miles
north of Aberdeen at the intersection of
US Interstate 94 and US Highway 281.
Jamestown is the county seat of Stutsman
County and is a destination for healthcare,
education and business services for a
large portion of south central North
Dakota. According to the 2007 Census of
Agriculture, Stutsman County is the fourth
leading producer of agricultural products
in North Dakota.
During 2013, the Company’s Boards of
Directors engaged in succession planning
for both Boards and senior management.
The planning provides assurance that as
leadership changes occur on the Boards and
in management, those changes will be as
seamless and well thought out as possible.
In closing, we thank the Company’s
shareholders for their confidence; the
Boards of Directors for their advice and
guidance; and the outstanding team of
bankers who operate the Company day-today, serving our customers, communities
and shareholders in such a great way.
Rodney W. Fouberg
Chairman of the Board
LOOKING AHEAD
We believe that several factors that
contributed to very little asset growth
during 2013 will persist during 2014.
Increasing loan volume remains essential
to organic growth. The Company remains
committed to growth and the Boards

ABERDEEN
“Aberdeen being known as

drivers.

RAPID CITY
Rapid City, South Dakota, and
the Black Hills depend heavily on
the tourism industry, said Rick

“Tourism really impacts our
economy. Recently,
there has been a
steady increase in
tourism numbers,”
he said.
Rapid City is
known as the
Gateway to the
Black Hills. The

RICK RYLANCE
mountains are
home to Mount Rushmore, Crazy
Horse Memorial, and Bear Country
USA. The region draws millions of
visitors each year, with the majority
during the summer months. The
Sturgis Motorcycle Rally can bring
anywhere from 350,000 to 750,000
visitors for the annual August event.
Rapid City has changed since
Dacotah Bank first opened here
in 2000, Rylance said. “It was
when the city was first starting
to blossom. Land for housing
and commercial enterprises
was becoming available for
development,” he said. The bank
now has two locations in Rapid City
along with a branch in Custer, South
Dakota. The metropolitan Rapid
City area has more than 125,000
residents. There are also more
than 4,000 people connected with
Ellsworth Air Force base just north
of the city.
There is a healthy retail sector
along the interstate with much
competition. As a counterpoint,
there has been an effective update to
downtown. Main Street Square with
ice skating in the winter is popular,
as is the Summer Concert Series
on Thursday nights, which attracts
3,000 to 4,000 people weekly. 0ver
70 shops and 33 restaurants can be
found downtown.
Banking trends run hot and cold,
according to Rylance. “For a time,
there was a push to have a branch in
every locale, such as supermarkets.
I don’t see the need to have brick
and mortar on every corner like we
did 10 years ago,” he said. “Younger
people don’t go into banks; they
may as they get older as their needs
change, but for now they access
everything electronically.”
Another continuing trend is drive-up
service. “Seventy percent of our
customers drive up versus those that
walk in,” he said. “That has doubled
in the last four to five years. People
still want to come to a bank, but
they don’t need to come in.”
Rylance said there have been
drastic changes to the banking
industry since he started 36 years
ago, when all transactions where
done manually. “Today we are so

The Federal Reserve has signaled
that interest rates may go up at
some point. “When interest rates
do eventually go up, there will be a
change in our deposit mix,” Rylance
said. “People will be getting out of
money market accounts and will go
back to certificates of deposit (CDs).
People may even get out of the
stock market and come back to CDs.
There may be some movement back
to traditional savings products when
interest rates start to stabilize.”

region’s leader in health care. West
River Health Services is one of the
centerpieces of the community. It
is rated one of the top 100 rural
critical care medical units in the
country. The hospital and clinic
complex employs around 300
people with
14 doctors.

serve the large medical complex
and others.
Scherbenske sees growth on the
horizon for the town. Hettinger is in
the middle of the Tyler oil-producing
formation. “Oil companies expect
to open here in the next two to four
years,” he said. The North Dakota
Geologic Survey indicates the Tyler
formation lies above the Bakken oil
formation and encompasses nearly
all of southwestern North Dakota
and extends into South Dakota.
Scherbenske, who has been in
banking for 41 years, and other
employees at the bank serve on
various community boards, including
the hospital board, the economic
development commission and
volunteer for high school athletics.
There have been drastic changes
in how banking is conducted in
the last 50 years. “When I started

WESTERN REGION
DICKINSON
It is no secret that business is
booming in Dickinson, North
Dakota. Jeff Moore, market
president, said the economy around
the Bakken oil formation has
changed everyone’s life. Moore,
who has been in banking since
1974, said it is a
metamorphosis.
“We will like what
we see in the end,
but at this point
there are certain
struggles.”
The city is one of the fastest
growing in the country. Dickinson
grew by only 1,000 people in the
ten years before the boom, from
2000 and 2010. In the following
two years to 2012, the
population surged with
10,000 new people

Dickinson hosts Rough Rider Days
at the beginning of July. This annual
festival has a fair, parades, and
expo. Dacotah Bank is a sponsor of
the PRCA rodeo during Rough
Rider Days. Locals and visitors
can also enjoy stock car races
at Southwest Speedway.
Moore said Dacotah Bank
in Dickinson will see
the most growth in
the commercial loan
area. “In 2013, there
was a huge demand for
commercial real estate.
The mortgage sector will also
see growth in Dickinson.”
When interest rates do return to
normal levels, Moore says the
Dickinson area won’t be affected.
“Interest rate increases won’t affect
our growth there,” he said. “The
demand will be here regardless of
the prices. Though, interest rate
increases will bring customers back
to CDs.”

few years.” The South Dakota
Game, Fish and Parks
department has built a
new divisional center in
Mobridge to work with
the thousands of people
who hunt and fish that
visit the area. A new
National Guard
Armory, hospital
expansion, new high school, and city
library addition have all added to the
area resurgence.
The town recently completed
a major link in its river-front
development. Main Street was
renovated and extended across the
railroad tracks for access down to
the water. The road helps connect
miles of walking and biking trails
along the river.
Looking back at all the changes in
banking as Dacotah Bank’s holding
company marks its first 50 years,
Schlepp described a few. “Besides
regulation, technology has been the
biggest factor,” he said. “We still
offer our traditional products,
but the delivery has changed.
It’s a faster-paced society and
Dacotah Bank wants to be
there for customers in any
form they choose. We
are here to support new
technology and help
customers navigate the
changes.”
INSURANCE
INSURANCE
When Dacotah Insurance opened
for business 50 years ago, Lyndon
Johnson had just taken over as
President. The Beatles first came to
America and premiered on The Ed
Sullivan Show.
Dacotah Insurance is an
independent agency and represents
a number of insurance carriers in
order to deliver the proper coverage
to a varied mix of business and
individual needs.
In 1964, the
average annual
income was
$5,800 and gas
was 25 cents per
gallon. The year
also brought the
debut of color
television and the
Ford Mustang,
which cost a little
over $2,300.
Customers have a competitive
advantage at Dacotah Insurance,
as they get the newest technology
while still having personal service.
“Insurance is a legally-binding
contract, it is not just about price,”
Heisler said. “It’s a complicated
policy. Those individuals who
are concerned about what they
are getting for the money they
are paying want advice on that
product. We can fill that market
need,” he said.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principal Business Activity
Dacotah Banks, Inc. (Company) is a one-bank holding company and provides a full range of banking services to individuals and businesses
through its market banks in Aberdeen, Brookings, Clark, Custer, Faulkton, Lemmon, Mobridge, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, Sisseton,Watertown,
and Webster, South Dakota, and Dickinson, Hettinger, Minot, Rolla, and Valley City, North Dakota, and Morris, Minnesota. Trust services
are provided to individuals and businesses in the South Dakota locations. General insurance operations are conducted in fifteen of the
thirty-three banking offices. The Company’s primary deposit products are demand deposits and certificates of deposit, and its primary
lending products are commercial, agricultural, real estate mortgage and consumer loans.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary bank and companies. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The subsidiary bank and companies employ, in all material
respects, similar accounting policies.
Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management
is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A material
estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.
Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk
Most of the Company’s loans are with customers primarily in South Dakota and North Dakota. Concentrations of credit are present in the
agricultural industry. Due to the pervasive nature of agriculture in the economy of the Dakotas, all loans, regardless of type, are impacted
by agriculture. Loans for agricultural purposes comprised approximately 43% of total loans as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks, federal funds sold and
interest-bearing deposits in banks, all of which have original maturities of three months or less.
Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks
Interest-bearing deposits in banks that are not classified as cash and cash equivalents mature within five years and are carried at cost.
Securities
The Company’s securities are all classified and accounted for as securities available for sale. Securities classified as available for sale are those
debt securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Securities available for sale
are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Premiums
and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains or losses on the sale and
calls of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.
The Company is required to hold Federal Reserve Bank stock in order to be a member of the Federal Reserve Bank System and, because
of its borrowing arrangement with the Federal Home Loan Bank; the Company is required to own Federal Home Loan Bank stock. Since
their ownership is restricted, these securities are carried at cost and evaluated periodically for impairment.
The Company adheres to required recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairment. The guidance specifies that (a) if a
company does not have the intent to sell a debt security prior to recovery and (b) it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the
debt security prior to recovery, the security would not be considered other-than-temporarily impaired unless there is a credit loss. When
an entity does not intend to sell the security, and it is more likely than not, the entity will not have to sell the security before recovery of its
cost basis, it will recognize the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining
portion in other comprehensive income.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Fair Value Measurements
The Company determined the fair value of certain assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles.
FASB ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset in the principal or most advantageous
market for the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC Topic 820 requires that
valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. FASB ASC Topic 820 also
establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels.
Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the
measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the related asset. Level
3 inputs are unobservable inputs related to the asset.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net
unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.
Loans
Loans are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses and
unearned discount.
Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days
delinquent unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. Loans are
placed on non-accrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All current year interest
accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. All prior year interest
accrued but not collected is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses. 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.
The Company has determined that the accounting for nonrefundable fees and costs associated with originating or acquiring loans does not
have a material effect on their financial statements. As such, these fees and costs have been recognized during the period they are collected
and incurred, respectively.
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 regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the
collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the
borrower’s 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 allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For
those loans that are 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 chargeoff experience and expected loss given default derived from the Company’s internal risk rating process. Other
adjustments can be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are
not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.
31
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company 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
borrower’s 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 and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s
effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral in the loan if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not
separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject of a restructuring
agreement due to financial difficulties of the borrower.
The general component relates to loans that are not classified as impaired. For those loans are not classified as impaired, an allowance
is established for each portfolio segment, based on historical losses adjusted for the effects of qualitative or environmental factors that
are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the institution’s existing portfolio to differ from historical loss experience.
Qualitative and environmental factors include the following: changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting
standards and collection, charge-off and recovery practices; changes in national, regional and local economic and business conditions and
developments that affect the collectibility of the portfolio; changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;
changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; changes in the volume and severity of past
due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans; changes in the quality of the
institution’s loan review system; changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans; the existence and effect of any
concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and the effect of other external factors such as competition and
legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the institution’s existing portfolio.
Portfolio segments identified by the Company include commercial, commercial real estate, agricultural, residential real estate, and consumer
loans. Relevant risk characteristics for these portfolio segments generally include debt service coverage, loan-to-value ratios and financial
performance on commercial, commercial real estate and agricultural loans and credit scores, debt-to income, collateral type and loan-tovalue ratios for residential real estate and consumer loans.
Credit Related Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such
financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial assets are 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 Company – put presumptively beyond the reach of the
transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it
from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does 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.
Investment in Life Insurance Contracts
Investment in life insurance contracts is stated at cash surrender value of various insurance policies. The income of the investment is
included in non-interest income.The life insurance policies are intended to provide funding for salary continuation contracts for executive
officers of the Company and its subsidiaries.
32
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation for buildings and improvements is provided generally
by the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of 10 to 50 years. Depreciation for furniture, fixtures and equipment is provided
generally by the double-declining balance method based on estimated useful lives of five to seven years.
Foreclosed Assets
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of the unrecovered loan balance
or fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically
performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses
from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of goodwill and core deposits associated with the acquisition of banks and insurance agencies. Goodwill is not subject to
amortization. Core deposits are amortized on an accelerated basis over 10 to 15 years.The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually,
and more frequently in certain circumstances. Goodwill is assessed for impairment on a reporting unit level by applying a fair-value-based test
using discounted estimated future net cash flows. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.
Income Taxes
The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company files separate state income tax returns. It is
the policy of the Company to allocate federal income taxes or credits to each subsidiary on the basis of the subsidiary’s taxable income or
loss included in the consolidated return.
The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense
reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or
excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under
this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and
liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized
if it is more likely than not, based on technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more
likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50%; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related
appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently
measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority
that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s
judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not
that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Comprehensive Income
The Company recognizes and includes revenue, expenses, gains and losses 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.

At December 31, 2013, seven state and municipal securities and four mortgage backed securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 5% or more from the Company’s amortized cost basis caused by interest rate changes. At December 31, 2012, three securities
had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 5% or more from the Company’s amortized cost basis caused by interest rate changes.
In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by federal, state, and municipal governments or their agencies; whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred; and industry analysts’ reports. Because the Company
does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before
recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-thantemporarily impaired.

Extension of agricultural credit is the primary lending activity of the Company.The Company generally requires collateral on all agricultural
loans. Collateral typically consists of livestock, feed, grain, machinery and farmland.
The Company has maintained a diversified loan portfolio. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no customer loan concentrations
that exceeded 1.5% of total loans. However, a substantial portion of the Company’s customers’ ability to honor their loan agreements is
influenced by the agricultural economy.
Total loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders of the Company’s common stock including their affiliates were
$3,197 and $3,259 at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Management believes that such loans were made in the ordinary course of business
on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral as those prevailing at the same time for comparable
transactions with other customers and do not represent more than a normal risk of collection.
Included in loans are overdrafts of $3,686 and $2,700 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Bank categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt
including current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, public information,
current economic trends, and other factors. The Bank analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis
typically includes larger, non-homogeneous loans such as commercial real estate, agricultural real estate, commercial and agricultural loans.
This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. The Bank uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass – Loans classified as pass represent loans that are evaluated and are performing under the stated terms. Pass rated assets are analyzed by
the paying capacity, the current net worth, and the value of the loan collateral of the obligor.
Watch – Loans classified as watch possess potential weaknesses that require management attention, but do not yet warrant adverse
classification. While the status of a loan placed in this classification may not technically trigger a classification as substandard or doubtful,
it is considered a proactive way to identify potential issues and address them before the situation deteriorates further and does result in a
loss for the Bank.
Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth, paying capacity of the obligor, or by the
collateral pledged. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the credit as originally
contracted. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
40
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have the weaknesses of those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the
weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and
improbable. Loans in this category are allocated a specific reserve based on the estimated discounted cash flows from the loan (or collateral
value less cost to sell for collateral dependent loans) or are charged off if deemed uncollectible.
Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by portfolio segment as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

The Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”) authorized the issuance of up to 100,000 common shares for the
grant of stock options and several other types of stock-based awards. The Company awarded 2,093 and 2,088 treasury shares in the form
of fully vested incentive stock grants to executive officers of the Company in 2013 and 2012. The fair market value of the stock award
was $153 per share or a total of $320 and $319 at December 31, 2013 and 2012. There were 87,775 and 89,868 unissued common shares
remaining under the Stock Plan at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Income taxes payable of $1,213 and $1,423 are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The Company complies with the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 Accounting for Uncerainty in Income Taxes. The Company had no
unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company recognized no interest and penalties on the underpayment
of income taxes during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and had no accrued interest and penalties on the balance
sheet as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company has no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of
unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase with the next twelve months. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination
for the past three years by the Federal and State tax authorities.
NOTE 12 - MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Company and the subsidiary Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state 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 Company’s and Banks’ financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines
that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and classification 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 of Total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to average assets. As of December 31, 2013 and
2012, management believes the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of December 31, 2013, the most recent regulatory financial reports filed with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized
the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.To be categorized as well capitalized, a bank must
maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions
or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Company’s category.

NOTE 14 - LITIGATION
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in various matters of litigation incidental to their business. In the opinion of
management, based upon the opinion of legal counsel, disposition of these matters will not materially affect the consolidated financial
position of the Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2013.
NOTE 15 - OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ACTIVITIES
The Company is a party to credit related 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. Such
commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit
policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
Contract Amount
2013 2012
Commitments to grant loans $ 357,407 $ 328,995
Standby letters of credit 11,360 9,652
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. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The
commitments for lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements.The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s
credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment.
Unfunded commitments under revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions
of credit to existing customers. These lines-of-credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not
be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have
expiration dates within one year.The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan
facilities to customers. The Company holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.
NOTE 16 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced
liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices
for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates
using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the
discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the
instrument. FASB ASC Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.
Management estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at December 31, 2013 and 2012 does not differ materially from the
aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheet. The estimated fair value amounts have
been determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment
is necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

of foreclosed assets is estimated based on reference to market prices and information for similar assets, less estimated costs to sell.
