The Plan Administrator

Ames National Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

Ames, Iowa

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Ames National Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Ames National Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is presented fairly, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

401(k) PROFIT SHARING PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

 

The Ames National Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) is sponsored by Ames National Corporation and its subsidiaries: First National Bank, Ames, Iowa (the Plan trustee); Boone Bank & Trust Co., Boone, Iowa; Reliance State Bank, Story City, Iowa; State Bank & Trust Co., Nevada, Iowa; and United Bank & Trust NA, Marshalltown, Iowa (collectively, the Companies). The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General and eligibility

 

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering employees of the Companies who have completed six months of employment with a minimum of 500 hours of service and are age 21 or older. Employees are eligible to begin making salary deferral contributions to the Plan on January 1, or July 1, following their eligibility date and will also be eligible for the employer matching contribution at that time. To be entitled to employer nondiscretionary contributions, a participant must generally complete 1,000 hours of service during the Plan year and must be employed by the Companies on the last day of the Plan year. In addition, the Plan was amended in 2012 to give predecessor employer service credit to the employees of two bank offices purchased by Reliance State Bank in 2012. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

 

Contributions

 

Participants may contribute up to 100% of their annual compensation as defined by the Plan subject to the Internal Revenue Service limitations for 2013 and 2012. The Plan provides a matching contribution up to 3% of the participants’ compensation and a nondiscretionary contribution of 3% of the participants’ compensation. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or contribution plans. Additionally, each participant age 50 or older may elect to make catch up contributions subject to certain limitation as of the Internal Revenue Service. All Plan investments were participant-directed into investment options offered by the Plan.

 

Participant accounts

 

Each participant’s account is credited with (a) the participant’s contribution, (b) the Companies’ matching contribution, (c) an allocation of the Companies’ nondiscretionary contribution and (d) Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)

 

Vesting

 

Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions and the Companies’ matching contributions and earnings thereon. Vesting in the Companies’ nondiscretionary contributions and earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service established after reaching 1,000 hours of credited service in a year. A participant is 100% vested in the Companies’ nondiscretionary contributions after three years of credited service with no vesting prior to that time.

 

Payment of benefits

 

On termination of service due to death, disability, retirement or any other reason, a participant or their beneficiaries may elect to receive an amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account in a lump sum amount. Benefits related to the nondiscretionary contribution are immediately vested on termination of service due to death, disability and normal retirement. Benefits related to the nondiscretionary contribution for other reasons are generally paid only if the participant is employed on the last day of the Plan year and has 1,000 hours of service.

 

Notes receivable from participants

 

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Notes receivable from participants at December 31, 2013, mature through 2023 and the interest rates (as determined by the Plan Administrator) range from 2.75% to 7.38%. Principal and interest are paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions, generally, over five years. However, repayment of notes receivable from participants for the purchase of a primary residence may exceed five years, but no longer than ten years. The notes receivable from participants are secured by the balance in the participants’ account.

 

Forfeited accounts

 

The forfeitures are used to reduce future contributions from the Companies. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, forfeitures from nonvested account balances reduced Companies’ contributions each year by approximately $5,000 and $21,000, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, forfeited nonvested account balances totaled approximately $1,000 and $5,000, respectively. These accounts will be used to reduce future contributions from the Companies.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net assets available for benefits or changes in net assets available for benefits.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Plan year ends on December 31. Significant accounting policies followed by the Plan are presented below

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Use of estimates in preparing financial statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash

 

Cash is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value, and is pending allocation to participant accounts.

 

Investments

 

Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 7 for discussion of fair value measurements.

 

Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments includes realized gains and losses on investments sold as well as unrealized gains and losses on investments held during the year.

 

Notes receivable from participants

 

Notes receivable from participants are stated at the amount of unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Payments of notes receivable from participants are applied to the specific accounts comprising the balance. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Delinquent and unpaid notes receivable are reclassified as a distribution against the participant’s vested balance.

 

Payment of benefits

 

Benefits are recorded when paid.

NOTE 3 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISK

 

The Plan maintains all its cash in a deposit account at the Plan trustee, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes the Plan is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash.

 

NOTE 4 - ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

 

Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the Companies. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. Certain other administrative expenses are paid directly by the Companies. Fees related to the administration of notes receivable from participants are charged directly to the participant’s account and are included in administrative expenses. Investment related expenses are included in net appreciation of fair value of investments.

 

NOTE 5 - INVESTMENTS

NOTE 6 - TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

 

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Plan held 86,374 and 97,917 shares of Ames National Corporation, a party-in-interest, common stock with a fair value of $1,933,914 and $2,144,382, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Plan also held cash totaling $320,911 and $298,759 at the Plan trustee.

 

The Plan sold or distributed 13,784 shares for $289,086 during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Plan purchased 2,241 shares for $46,960 during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Plan sold or distributed 25,021 shares for $556,925 during the year ended December 31, 2012. The Plan purchased 2,314 shares for $47,880 during the year ended December 31, 2012. All assets are held through trust agreement by the Plan trustee, who is also a party-in-interest.

 

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

 

 

  

Level 1:

Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available. 

  

  

Level 2:

Inputs to the valuation methodology include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatility, prepayment speeds, credit risk); or, inputs derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

If the asset or liability has a specified term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. 

     

 

  

Level 3:

Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Mutual funds: Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end mutual funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value (NAV) and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.

 

Separately managed trust account (ANC Balanced Fund): Valued at NAV based on the fair value of the underlying investments of the Fund. The underlying investments are Level 1 and Level 2 assets consisting of common and preferred stocks, equity and bond funds, corporate bonds and a money market account. Since the Fund is not actively traded, Plan management has classified the Fund as a Level 2 asset. No amount greater than $50,000 can be withdrawn from the Fund, without a 90 day notice. The Fund investment strategy is to seek total return through long-term growth of capital and current income. This Fund’s asset allocation strategy seeks to provide moderate market appreciation along with a consistent income potential provided by fixed maturity investments and dividend income. The Fund had no unfunded commitments. The ANC Balanced Fund was no longer offered as an investment option in September, 2013. The participants’ directed any investment in this Fund to other available options, or, if no direction was provided, to a suitable option approved by Plan management.

 

Common stocks: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

 

Money market account: Valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

 

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while Plan management believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

NOTE 9 - TAX STATUS

 

The determination letter received for the Plan prototype document was dated March 31, 2008. In this letter, the Internal Revenue Service stated that the prototype plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and, therefore, not subject to tax. The Plan has not applied for its own determination letter. The prototype plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

 

GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2013, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Plan management believes the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for the years prior to 2010.

 

The Department of Labor initiated a review of the Plan in 2013 and no updates have been received by the Plan administrator.

 

NOTE 10 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
