Photo submitted by Marie Maier of Lemmon, SD Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report | Page 2 To Our Shareholders Dacotah Banks, Inc. reached a significant milestone in its growth during 2012—late in the year assets passed $2 billion for the first time in the Company’s history, growing 8.4% from $1.906 billion to $2.065 billion during the year. This growth rate exceeded the 4.2% growth in 2010 and the 5.6% growth in 2011 and was driven by increases in both deposits and loans. Growth in deposits was expected, although not at the 8.7% level attained; and the 7.9% increase in loans significantly exceeded expectations. Nearly one-half of the increased loan volume came from three relatively new markets. Dickinson and Minot, located in the energy region of North Dakota; and Brookings, located in the heart of the I-29 corridor all made significant contributions to loan growth. Net income of $17.85 million was consistent with the growth and was a record for the Company. Nationally, virtually all banks experienced improved earnings, supported by increases in non-interest income and lower provisions for loan losses. The FDIC reports that the full year earnings for the industry in 2012 are second only to earnings attained in 2006, just prior to the financial crisis. The FDIC also notes that the record earnings in 2006 were accomplished with $2.7 trillion less in assets. While 2012 was a good year for the industry, a return to the high performance levels of several years ago is proving to be difficult. We are proud of the stability that Dacotah Banks, Inc. has demonstrated through the crisis and the recovery. Additional comments on the Company’s performance during that time will be made in the Shareholder Value section of this letter. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE As mentioned earlier, the Company’s 2012 net income was $17.85 million compared to $16.55 million for 2011, a 7.9% increase. Net income was slightly above the 2012 budget of $17.22 million and would have been higher but for the fact that provisions for loan and lease losses were $750,000 over budget. Deposits grew by $146 million, an 8.7% change and loans grew by $109 million, a 7.9% change. The excess deposits moved into fed funds sold or into the investment portfolio where yields continued to fall during the year. Most banks are experiencing increased liquidity which has created very strong competition for loans. The Company’s net yield on earning assets dropped from 3.92% during 2011 to 3.84% during 2012. This compares favorably with the average net interest margin of all United States banks of 3.32%. The Company’s loan to deposit ratio dropped slightly from 80.7% to 80.2%. With interest margins under pressure, it is all the more important to improve non-interest income. Income from trust activities improved from $717,000 during 2011 to $936,000 during 2012. Income from insurance operations improved from $773,000 during 2011 to $1,017,000 during 2012. Fees earned from the sale of home mortgages into the secondary market totaled $2,634,000 in 2012. The Company’s return of average assets (“ROA”) for 2012 was 0.93% compared to 0.91% for 2011. Page 3 | Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report The Company’s provision for loan losses during the year was higher than was budgeted, totaling $6.75 million in 2012 compared to $5.3 million in 2011. Most of the loan losses experienced during 2012 were associated with commercial loans in our larger markets that were weakened during the recession. Net loan losses were $6.04 million. We expect lower provisions for loan losses during 2013. GROWTH Total assets at the end of 2012 were $2.065 billion compared to $1.906 billion at the end of 2011. Continuing a several year trend, the asset growth was once again driven by deposit growth as deposits moved from $1.68 billion to $1.83 billion, an 8.7% growth. Despite low interest rates, depositors continue to use bank deposits as a safe place to invest their money. Greater than budgeted growth in deposits was not a surprise; however, the very solid growth in loans was somewhat of a surprise. Loans grew from $1.37 billion to $1.47 billion, a 7.9% increase. Increased lending in the North Dakota energy region and in the 1-29 corridor has helped offset the decreased lending to crop producers. Several years of good yields and high prices have decreased the amount of farm operating lines in most of the Company’s markets. STRENGTH In order to remain strong the Company must maintain an appropriate balance of growth, earnings, asset quality, allowance for loan losses, capital and dividends. The Company’s growth during 2012 coupled with good earnings allowed the Company to maintain its capital levels. On a consolidated basis as of December 31, 2012, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.61% compared to 9.17% a year earlier, Tier 1 risk-based capital was 11.71% compared to 11.91% a year earlier and total risk based capital was 12.89% compared to 13.16% a year earlier. The quality of the Company’s Loan portfolio remains strong with non-performing loans representing only 1.61% of total loans compared to 1.74% at the end of 2011; and the Company’s allowance for loan losses at the end of 2012 was $18.9 million compared to $18.2 million at the end of 2011. SHAREHOLDER VALUE We believe that our shareholders expect and deserve steady year-after-year improvement in growth, capital and profitability along with consistent dividend income. As a part of the shareholder value discussion a brief review of bank performance during the financial crisis, as reported by FDIC seems appropriate. From 2007 through 2012 the percentage of unprofitable FDIC insured institutions ranged from a low of 10.48% during 2012 to a high of 30.84 % during 2009. During that same period of time, Dacotah Banks, Inc. was consistently profitable and enjoyed increased year-to-year profitability in every year but one. Net income per share in 2007 was $11.28 compared to $16.03 in 2012. During 2007 the Company paid $2.20 per share in dividends and dividends were paid each year ending with $3.00 in dividends paid during 2012. At the end of 2007 the Company’s book value per share was $122.06; five years later at the end of 2012, the Company’s book value was $178.82 per share, an increase of 46.5%. We believe the Company’s focus on steady and sustainable growth and earnings served the shareholders well during the period from 2007 through 2012, when 468 insured institutions failed and many more were absorbed by other institutions. to its technology and talent during the year. The Company continues preparation for a new kind of banking that for some folks will be less tied to brick and mortar and more tied to technology, including hand-held devices. During 2012 the Company devoted significant time and resources to building a risk management system that is appropriate to the changing banking environment, and the size of the Company. The book value per share of the Company’s stock increased 8.1% from $165.39 on December 31, 2011 to $178.82 on December 31, 2012. In addition, the Company paid dividends totaling $3.00 in 2012, the highest in the Company’s history and consistent with the philosophy of retaining most of the earnings to support growth and capital levels. The Company continually updates its Strategic Plan and Vision. By December 31, 2014 the Company’s Boards and management envision a privately-owned bank holding company with $2.25 billion in assets with the organization and structure in place to assure proper risk management, effective management succession and oversight of a banking and financial services company with $2.75 billion in assets. With over $2 billion in assets we believe that Dacotah Banks, Inc. is well positioned to survive and prosper in an everconsolidating industry that is increasingly dominated by very large banking organizations. COMMENTS ON 2012 During 2012 the Federal Open Market Committee continued activities directed at keeping interest rates low and the Company and other banks followed suit by lowering deposit rates and offering more competitive rates on loans. As the economy slowly improved and the energy activity continued in North Dakota, our bankers found more opportunities for lending but at the same time faced very competitive loan pricing. The FDIC reports that 67.9% of all banks reported year-over-year net interest margin declines during 2012. Investments with appropriate maturities and decent yields were particularly hard to find and the yield on the Bank’s investment portfolio dropped continuously during the year. As yield dropped, those in charge of the Company’s investment portfolio resisted the temptation to purchase longer maturities in order to accomplish higher yields in the short term. We kept the maturities in the portfolio short and believe we will be well positioned when interest rates rise. Recognizing the changes taking place in the methods by which banking services are and will be delivered and aware of the additional risk involved, the Company added significantly LOOKING AHEAD As a $2 billion Company we are probably among the top 7% of the 7,083 financial institutions in the country in terms of assets, but at the same time quite small in many respects. According to the FDIC, as of December 31, 2012 there were 107 insured institutions with over $10 billion in assets, and those institutions control over 80% of all banking assets. In order to effectively compete with these large banks, we will continue our investment in technology and we will find ways to provide the delivery systems demanded by our customers. We expect continued pressure on margins and strong competition for loans. We also expect continued improvement in the quality of our loan portfolio and anticipate relatively lower loan loss provisions going forward. It appears we have worked through most of the credit quality concerns carried over from the recession. The Company tracks profitability in all of its markets and all are profitable as we enter 2013. The Company has not recently added new markets; however, we are open to expansion opportunities and we are prepared to either acquire or establish new banks in communities that fit into our operation. In closing, we thank the Company’s shareholders for their confidence, the Boards of directors for the advice and guidance and the outstanding team of bankers who operate the Company day-to-day, serving our customers, communities and shareholders in such a great way.

Page 7 | Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report Photo courtesy of Medora Corporation community investments: Dickinson, ND Medora, Inc. According to Joel Bleth, co-founder, president and CEO, it’s a new era for Medora, Inc. of Dickinson. “The internet has changed everything for our business. 90% of our business is in the U.S. and 10% is international including 15 countries.” While most treatment processes focus on drinking water already at the local plant, Medora, Inc.’s focus is upstream. “Our technology is the first of its kind in the word to focus on cleaning water in reservoirs. Raw water starts in lakes and rivers and goes to treatment plants. Two thirds of Americans drink lake water. We are helping cities like Houston and San Diego save over a million dollars a year by treating water in their reservoirs.” Other cities doing business with Medora, Inc. include Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and San Francisco. Bleth said, “We invented new science to help the city of San Francisco. There are 400,000 water tanks to mix and we have only provided equipment to 1,000 so the potential market is huge.” The North Dakota company is growing rapidly and now employs 60 full-time and 2 part-time staffers. Being located in North Dakota’s oil patch makes it challenging to keep and recruit employees. “After three years of employment we give shares to employees. About 45 employees currently have stock in the company.” A major event for the business was a name change. “Changing our name from Solarbee to Medora Corporation and Medora Transportation was necessary and huge. With the name Solarbee, engineers we did business with thought our technology was all solar powered. We now have solutions for the entire power grid market.” The company also developed new and improved products the past couple years including TTHM Floating Spray Nozzles. “Chlorine in drinking water can cause a 30% increase in colon cancer,” according to Bleth. “There is a worldwide push to treat potable water to remove contaminants in storage facilities.” Dacotah Bank has been impressive during this period of transition for Medora, Inc. “I’ve worked with good bankers over the years. When all the new banking regulations came down on community banks I thought the days of a great banker were over. I can’t say enough about how I’m impressed with Jeff Moore and his team. We had 14 loans elsewhere and needed commercial real estate financing on top of everything. After the appraisal came through Jeff helped us consolidate everything into one (mortgage) loan. In just three months we got the new financing, a million dollars in annual employee credit card volume, and all business insurance converted to Dacotah Bank and Dacotah Insurance.” Business relationships often begin with financing but Dacotah Insurance has also been important to the relationship with Bleth’s firm. “I’ve known Tom Heisler (with Dacotah Insurance) a long time and it’s good to be working with him again. Jeff and his team have a tremendous understanding of what we needed to do. He reaffirmed that you can still do business with a great banker!” Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report | Page 8 Photo courtesy of Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing community investments: Killdeer, ND killdeer mountain manufacturing Don and Patricia Hedger, founders of Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing, recount how their company started from scratch in 1987 as a local economic development concept. Don had graduated from the University of North Dakota (UND) as an electrical engineer and had worked in the industry for 20 years. He and Patricia wanted to return to their hometown of Killdeer, North Dakota. employees of which 10 are part-time. In 1994 Don was named North Dakota’s Small Businessman of the Year. There, Don spent time in banking and was in charge of a small local bank. When the local economy deteriorated in Killdeer, businesses began boarding up shop and 40% of homes were vacant. The town’s population fell to near 700. “We are completing a three-story, 24-two bedroom apartment complex to open this summer. The affordable housing project has come together under a program with the state of North Dakota and Dacotah Bank. This housing is badly needed not only for our own employees but others in the region.” The Hedgers say in response to the conditions, “we launched a local, non-profit, public nursing home and earlier a non-profit clinic which is now owned by St. Joseph’s Hospital. Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing started as a supplier to the aerospace industry with no customers and a lot of traveling. We went through some lean years but got things going.” Clients include Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Raytheon and others. “We are now thriving in the aerospace industry providing electronics and wiring for the Boeing 737, 777, and the Lockheed C5-A re-engining program.” The company provides circuit boards for commercial and military vehicles. “Third World countries have created a high demand for aircraft and it is expected to last for the next 30 years,” according to Hedger. When they outgrew the local labor supply the firm expanded to Hettinger, Dickinson, and Regent, ND. Today Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing has 330 Page 9 | Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report “We helped develop a pre-engineering degree program at Dickinson State University to provide technical students with a two year course of study. When they complete the course they can transfer to North Dakota State University to earn their bachelor of sciences degree or doctorate.” Dacotah Bank has played an important role in the evolution of the Hedgers’ company. “Jeff Moore understands what we do and what we need. The Bakken Oil Field has challenged our ability to maintain labor so Dacotah Bank helped us install robotics for processes that don’t require touch labor. We subscribe to the LEAN techniques of manufacturing to ensure profitable efficiencies.” Lean is a production practice that considers the expenditure of resources for any goal other than the creation of value for the end customer to be wasteful, and thus a target for elimination. Don and Patricia’s entrepreneurial work is not complete, however. “Dacotah Bank has provided a lot of help over the years because a growing company always needs cash, operating capital. We are now working on a Killdeer Community Center. The walls and roof are up so it’s always good to see something come to fruition.” Photo courtesy of Tom Heinz community investments: heinz, inc. Coffee Cup Fuel Stops opened along major highways in the region 32 years ago according to Tom Heinz, president of Heinz, Inc. Today their locations can be found at travel centers on I-29 in South Dakota, I-94 in North Dakota, and I-90 in South Dakota and Wyoming. “We position our Coffee Cup stores to serve the traveling public, truckers, and recreational vehicle (RV) owners looking for gas, diesel, quality foods, convenience items, clean restrooms and showers provided in a friendly, fun atmosphere by quality employees.” North Dakota. They helped us project cash flows and project reinvestments into each unit.” Tom talks enthusiastically about the past couple years. “We reorganized the entire Coffee Cup ownership model in 2010. Thanks to Dacotah Bank, Heinz, Inc. now owns four Coffee Cup Stops. Our business employs 53 full-time and 65 part-time people.” Tom went on to say the bank has supported his family business with advice and financing. “They have been there with us since day one to help with the partnership buyout and with a line of credit. They encouraged us to grow organically and have been very receptive to our growth plan. We hope to replicate our business model in the future becoming destinations for our customers.” New Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards mandating fuel efficiency of the nation’s fleet to 54.7 miles per gallon equivalent for passenger vehicles by model year 2025 is driving a number of changes for the travel center business. “We had to ask ourselves, how will we continue to do business? Dacotah Bank allowed us to become owners in South Dakota and Heinz pointed out new brand relationships that will be popular with guests and profitable for the business. “Dacotah Bank helped us partner with Caribou Coffee, Subway, and Pizza Hut Express to drive recognition and food quality. Our store in Vermillion, SD was branded in 2012. Branding of the store in Summit, SD will be completed this year along with Steele, ND. Our Hot Springs, SD Coffee Cup will be branded in 2014.” Currently, four family members make up the leadership team of Heinz, Inc. and Tom is looking to the future. “With Dacotah Bank’s support we have been able to grow and employ more people. Their assistance will help us refine our model for the next generation.” Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report | Page 10 Photo submitted by Stu Melby Photography community investments: Brookings , sd medary acres greenhouse When Brian Darnall joined Medary Acres Greenhouse in 1971 it had already been around more than twenty years. He and his wife Lynn bought the business in 1976 and Brian says they have enjoyed their career. “I tell people it’s like I’ve never had a real job! Our business is like farming. We grow crops.” The primary service area of the local greenhouse is a 60 mile radius of Brookings, South Dakota. The trade area reaches communities across the Minnesota state line; Marshall, Ivanhoe, and Canby. Other regular springtime buyers come from Sioux Falls, Flandreau, Watertown, and DeSmet in South Dakota and points in between. Medary Acres Greenhouse is open from early April to mid-June according to Brian, “We work hard on pricing and to keep quality competitive. We have a great crew that will not tolerate bad looking product.” Page 11 | Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report During the selling season of April to June Medary Acres employs 18 full-time and 12 part-time people. Darnall says they are all gardeners and “they all love it.” Most have been with the business 30 years or more. After the selling season they focus their time on building maintenance and remodeling to improve the physical place. A new sales area was completed and introduced to customers recently. The family-owned business also upgraded to technically advanced cash registers. According to Brian, his banker, Wayne Avery, “understands what we are doing. Our financing is structured much like a farm operating line. He knows our business and we know him. It’s always nice to know Wayne is there for us. I worry about weather, inventory pricing, and how to attract customers, not my banking. I’m not in the bank often but when I visit everyone is friendly and helpful.” Photo courtesy of iStockPhoto community investments: Lemmon, sd lemmon livestock When Paul Huffman bought the Lemmon Livestock sale barn in 1997 with the help of Dacotah Bank it was about to close. He is proud of the turnaround, “We have more than doubled the head count to 85,000 cattle per year.” Livestock sales occur throughout the year but the busy season is August through March. Lemmon Livestock attracts independent livestock producers of Black and Red Angus, Hereford, Charlois and other breeds from southwest North Dakota, southeast Montana, and northwest South Dakota. Additionally, a number of seed-stock producers rely on Lemmon Livestock to market their herds. According to Paul, “Our niche is feeder cattle and production sales. We sell a lot of calves and feeder cattle weighing 400-900 pounds and replacement cows and heifers.” The locally-owned business has six full-time employees and up to 45 part-time employees during busy periods. Huffman says a strong cattle market has made a positive impact on the success of the business. “Good livestock prices have helped our clients and our business the past few years. Revenue has grown 30-40%.” As one of America’s largest lenders to agricultural producers, it is evident Dacotah Bank knows agriculture. “Dacotah Bank has been awful good to me. I had been in tough times and they came to me and said we have to get this (auction market) going again. We had to make changes in the day-to-day management practices in order for the business to move forward. They never backed off a bit and stayed with me. I don’t know if I could have done it without Dacotah Bank.” He has high praise for Travis Ellison, current market president, and Dan Baumgarten, who retired as market president for Lemmon in 2012. “I had done some business with them before I bought the sale barn. Dacotah Bank is very active in the community. They support the community and me. When they say ‘here for you’ it is a very accurate statement!” Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report | Page 12 Photo courtesy of George Dutton of Valley City community investments: Valley City, ND bridges city car wash Valley City, ND needed a self-service car wash. Joe Faure and Jim Retterath, partners in RFM Investments, recognized the opportunity. In December 2011 they bought a piece of commercial property and went to work. The car wash opened in November 2012. They purchased and installed combination touch-free and soft-touch equipment from a supplier in Billings, MT. Bridges Car Wash caters to people who drive cars and pickups in the Valley City and surrounding area. Today the operation employs Joe, his wife, and one part-time person. “The people of Valley City have Page 13 | Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report embraced us very well despite the cold winter.” Financing the business with Dacotah Bank was a natural decision. “Dick Gulmon (market president in Valley City) is my personal banker for RFM and Bridges Car Wash. He has been very good to work with when we financed the land and construction. He also has given us insight regarding insurance.” Like any good senior banker, Gulmon is supported by a great team in Valley City. “All the people at Dacotah Bank have helped us reach our goals. Plus, they all use the car wash!” said Faure.

Over the years his organization has grown to include the building and management of industrial and commercial facilities. Local residents will recognize Paul’s latest project, the recently built Golf View Apartments in Brookings. Paul says the business has evolved to what it is today, “Today we are a small company that primarily manages the maintenance and upkeep on its own properties.” The majority of owned and managed properties are in the Brookings market. Moriarty Enterprises was awarded the 2009 Family Business of the Year by the Brookings Area Chamber of Commerce. Paul has been active in many organizations including the South Dakota State University Foundation for 46 years and has served as president of the foundation board for two years. Paul currently employs five people in his office and six maintenance managers. He has only good things to say about his home market, “Brookings is a good, clean, and growing town. Brookings is a great place to do business.” Even though Paul has been in business for decades, he appreciates his banking relationship with Dacotah Bank and his business banker, Wayne Avery. “I enjoy working with Wayne because he is cognizant of the fact small businesses need good finances. He is a good advisor.” Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report | Page 14 Photo courtesy of George Dutton of Valley City community investments: Valley City, ND straus Mall A local real estate sales business opened in Valley City, North Dakota in 1964. These many years later, George Gaulker’s firm manages 3,000 rental units and has developed housing units in several communities. One of his growth markets is Williston in North Dakota’s oil rich region. “During the past five years we have developed multi-family housing and commercial real estate in Valley City, Fargo, and Williston in North Dakota. In previous years we also did building projects in Minnesota and South Dakota.” There was a time when George’s company employed a construction crew but much of the construction work today is sub-contracted out to others. “We have 15 full-time people in development and sales and up to 50 part-time property managers in the markets we serve.” George says a number of things have contributed to the business’ success. “The economic growth in Fargo and the oil patch has helped our business.” A recent major construction was a 235 unit senior housing project in Fargo. Page 15 | Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report At home, the remodeling of the Straus Mall in downtown Valley City, a $500,000 project, is underway. George has a primary goal for the unique building, “We will bring the 10,000 square foot office and retail space up to code. This will be a very nice addition to our community.” George’s relationship with the bank actually pre-dates Dacotah Bank’s acquisition of the former Farmers and Merchants Bank in Valley City. “Dacotah Bank has really been my bank for 20-25 years; through good times and bad times like we all have. Joe Senger, Dacotah Bank’s executive vice president has just been wonderful to work with. He has been in touch and helpful all along the way with our recent projects. Everyone at the Valley City branch has been good to work with.” He concludes that it isn’t always about real estate loans, “In addition to our financing, Dacotah Bank has helped with our management account. Over the years I have enjoyed working with Dave Johnsen (retired market president) Dick Gulmon (new market president for Valley City) and everyone at Dacotah Bank.” Photo courtesy of Kim Lietz of Brookings, SD community investments: volga , sd edman Development, LLC Volga, South Dakota is a community about seven miles west of Brookings. Joel Edman is focused on developing the rural community of about 1,800 people to grow and prosper by providing homes. “Our local housing project started in early 2012 with proposed platting,” he says. “The affordable housing development is possible in part with Tax Increment Financing (TIF) and Dacotah Bank.” as far as the economy in this region is concerned. I see very positive signs and sales volumes are up at local businesses.” Brookings is home to several nationally known industrial companies like Larson Storm Doors and Daktronics and the 12,500 students at South Dakota State University. In addition to potential buyers from Brookings, new home owners will include local employees from the Volga school, a trucking firm, and the new Pioneer Seed research facility. “We will have 25 single family homes available at $149,000 each.” The economic development progress lead by Edman has been supported by his banker at Dacotah Bank in Brookings. “My experience with Wayne Avery and Dacotah Bank has been great – very positive. He works with me and is quick in responding to my questions and any issues that come up. You have to have your financing information together but they are good to work with.” The owner of a local convenience store and truck stop in Volga, Joel is not done yet. “We still will have 3.5 acres yet to be developed. Things are getting better Joel walks the walk and talks the talk providing jobs to eight people at the C-store. “The labor side of the service sector is being challenged and is getting tougher but we are all in this together and long-term will do well.” Joel Edman’s story is an example of the work ethic and commitment to local communities throughout Dacotah Territory. Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report | Page 16 Photo submitted by Ward Schumacher of Aberdeen, SD community investments: children’s home society Rick Weber, development director, at Children’s Home Society (CHS) has a lot of good work to be proud of. “The organization was founded in 1893 as an orphanage. Over our 120 year history we have evolved to provide a continuum of services with a primary focus on serving children who have been victims of abuse or neglect. In 2012 over 2,000 children were served through emergency shelter, residential treatment, education, foster care and adoption programs, forensic interview and examination centers, and prevention services. The statewide non-profit organization respects their financial supporters, “We work very hard to be good stewards of philanthropic gifts and funding from federal, state, and local sources. Our administrative overhead is only about 7.5%.” CHS provides care and services at several locations including Black Hills Children’s Home near Rockerville, Messengers Children’s Center in Rapid City, and Sioux Falls Children’s Home and Children’s Inn in Sioux Falls. The South Dakota Department of Social Services is their biggest client. Like most non-profits, Weber says it isn’t getting any easier, “Funding from all sources continues to be a challenge as governments work to balance budgets, and we recognize the many demands for the charitable Page 17 | Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report dollar from corporate and individual donors.” CHS has 260 full-time and 100 part-time employees serving youngsters and their families across the state. “We are keeping up with demand for services and haven’t had to cut or lay off staff,” says Weber. “We are very busy and our programs are well utilized. Our beds are full or nearly full and there is a waiting list as the needs of abused children and their families continues to be very high.” Dacotah Bank has a long relationship with Children’s Home. “The partnership with Dacotah Bank has helped us not just raise funds but has also helped us share our story to an entirely new audience. In addition to funding, the bank’s employees volunteer their time and help with special events.” For the past several years during the Christmas holidays, Dacotah Bank and employees have hosted special appearances by Tom Roberts, CHS professional and author of a series of faith-based family books. Revenue from the book sales is earmarked for CHS and other deserving charities in the bank’s markets. “The bank’s friendship and partnership with CHS is a good example of how we have been able to keep our programs going strong. The various book projects and other ways of support is why there can be a good ending to a child’s story.” community investments: flandreau, sd mad mary’s steakhouse and saloon For 20 years people have come from all over to enjoy one of the best steakhouse meals around. Owner Randy Tiedeman says the restaurant got a big boost in exposure after appearing on a regional television program. “A fella was in and told us we really needed to be featured on the ‘Place and Plate’ TV show originating from Sioux Falls. Because of that show we have had guests in from all over.” The two full-time and 18 part-time staff serves clientele from about 100 miles in every direction; from Fairmont and Pipestone in Minnesota to Aberdeen, Brookings, and Sioux Falls in South Dakota. Randy and his wife, Diane, both started working at the business years ago, she as a waitress in 1999 in addition to her day care business. Randy served customers as a bartender when he was not driving truck. They purchased Mad Mary’s five years ago. “We bought the business and improved it. Our sales are up over the previous owners’ best year despite the fact we purchased the steakhouse on the eve of the country’s biggest recession ever.” Since becoming owners they have installed a new kitchen, new air conditioning, paved the parking lot, and the city recently paved the street to the steakhouse. When asked about their relationship with Dacotah Bank Randy beams, “It’s been everything! We shopped around in Flandreau and Sioux Falls and the bankers we talked to didn’t have an understanding of what we were trying to do. Our accountant introduced us to Wayne (Avery) and there was no comparison – it’s been easy!” Like most Dacotah Bank clients, the Tiedeman’s benefit from a number of services at their bank. “It’s a strong relationship. We’ve been able to grow the business because of Dacotah Bank. We refinanced when rates were low and converted to Dacotah Bank’s merchant credit card program. It’s great! We get calls every week inviting us to change our credit card acceptance program and no way – we are very happy with Dacotah Bank’s program.” Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report | Page 18 Photo submitted by Josh Phillips of Aberdeen, SD community investments: aberdeen, sd taylor music John Taylor, a big band musician living in Aberdeen, South Dakota opened a small, traditional retail music store close to Main Street in the early 1950s. He ran it for only a few years and then added Clark W. Newman as his business partner who later purchased the business. The name, Taylor Music, has remained. The business was owned by the Newman family and employees until 2005. It is currently employee- owned and has operated out of the Main Street location for over 55 years. Stan Kolb, president, tells of changes that started some 45 years ago. “In 1970, we entered the mail order business with the ‘Taylor Music Newsletter.’ Our first mail order territory was South Dakota then North Dakota. At one time we were sending 22,000 catalogs eight times a year. With technology changes we now send about 5,000 catalogs six times a year.” In those days, most people bought band instruments locally and a mail order business was not always appreciated by out-of-state music store owners. “About 20 years ago we began to market Taylor Music across the country as 1-800-USA-BAND to promote our toll free telephone number and our online e-commerce business (www.1800usaband.com)”. Taylor Music is nationally known with a primary sales territory of the Midwest from Michigan to Texas. Stan says the digital age has made a difference. “Marketing, distribution, and available options have changed with the Page 19 | Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report internet.” The business has seen an increase in individual orders online as most music stores now have websites. Taylor Music provides new and refurbished band instruments to schools, band directors, and students and their parents. The Aberdeen-based family business employs 25 full-time and 4 part-time people. Kolb says the recent years were not as bad as some might expect for a national merchant. “Despite thinner margins, smaller school bands, and online competition, we did remarkably well during the recession years.” A 25 year working relationship with Dacotah Bank is rich with respect and familiarity. “They are fantastic! We began working with Dacotah Bank in 1988. The first year was not good. We went down to the bank, showed them the numbers and said we’re going to fix it. They didn’t quiver then and have stood by us since. Today we use Dacotah Bank’s online business banking. It’s a great service for us; easy, fast, accurate. We really like using it.” Stan is quick to give a testimony about his bank. “When people talk to me about banking I tell them, ‘Get over to Dacotah Bank!’ They get an A plus! Paul Fauth is our business banker. He’s great!” The story of Taylor Music and its president, Stan Kolb, is very similar to other success stories often told about business people in Dacotah Territory. “I’ve done about every job around here there is to do.” But then, he is not one to toot his horn… Photo submitted by Ward Schumacher of Aberdeen, SD community investments: aberdeen, sd wooden mallet The next time you stay at a hotel or visit the doctor’s office check out the coat rack or magazine rack. If it’s made of wood there is a good chance it may have been manufactured in Aberdeen, South Dakota. David Kreber, owner of Wooden Mallet, says the business had a humble beginning. “My father, Jim, started the business in 1974 doing custom cabinets in his basement. In the ‘80s he switched to manufacturing.” Today, Wooden Mallet mass produces a wide range of wood office furnishings including: magazine racks, brochure display racks, chart holders, luggage racks, coat racks, reception chairs, sofas, and end tables built from solid Northern Red Oak. The history of Wooden Mallet is related to another local success story; Super 8 Motels. Super 8 Motels was founded in Aberdeen and helped launch Jim’s business with wood coat racks for their properties. “There was no competition for wood products as other companies only produced metal and plastic items,” David says. Then a road trip to the Twin Cities paid off. “Jim met a buyer in a parking lot in Minneapolis and talked him in to featuring the company’s new product line in a catalog.” While 97% of their orders are U.S.-based, a small volume is shipped to Canada. “The internet has changed everything; our marketing and our distribution channels. It has opened up the home market for us too.” The company employs 25 full-time people. In addition to succeeding in a product niche, the company’s facilities are cutting edge. “Our facility is unique in that we use the latest technology. We were among the first wood product manufacturing company in the U.S. to utilize an ultra-violet (UV) finishing line. We recently added technology that allows us to make our own cardboard boxes so we no longer have to inventory different sizes. We can make specific boxes for shipping on the fly.” Wooden Mallet also demonstrates that what’s good for the environment can sometimes also be good for the checkbook. “In the winter we use our wood shavings to heat our building so we don’t use any gas. In the warmer months the shavings are used as horse bedding around the area.” The future also inspires this second generation owner, “The internet has made things exciting. Our products can now be found at Amazon.com and Walmart.com. This has really helped us open up the home owner market for product sales.” “Dacotah Bank saw potential in me and in our business. When (Jim) wanted to retire they listened well and helped make things happen. I purchased the business from Jim in 2010 with Dacotah Bank’s help. Brad Moore and Paul Fauth were great to work with. They prepared several options for us to consider and helped us make good decisions.” Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report | Page 20 Photo courtesy of Valley City-Barnes County Economic Development Corporation community investments: valley city, nd Barnes County Economic Development Corporation The Valley City - Barnes County Development Corporation (VC-BCDC) is a private, non-profit 501(c) 6 corporation organized in 1985 for job creation and retention and is operated by a volunteer board of directors. The corporation’s director of development, Jennifer Feist, has held her position for 25 years. Alicia Hoffarth, resource development specialist, provides grant services (research, identification, grant application review, and compliance writing). VC-BCDC coordinates tax incentives, financing assistance, job training through the Regional Council and State of North Dakota, and helps secure land, buildings, and infrastructure for businesses and community development projects. VC-BCDC targets information technology and manufacturing companies that need a higher level of technical services, skills, and processes. In addition, a revolving loan fund is available to service and retail businesses to access the Bank of North Dakota’s Flex PACE Program. Tax incentives are also available under the Image Enhancement Grant program and Renaissance Zone. A recent highlight includes the I-94 Regional Development Corridor. VC-BCDC purchased over 76 acres of land along Interstate 94. The $10 million project includes: •Extended concrete frontage road to serve new development and connect manufacturers directly to the I-94 interchange and completed Winter Show Road from 8th Avenue SW to Business Loop I-94. • Water main extension and installation of fire hydrants. • Sanitary sewer extension and lift station. • Extended storm sewer. In 2011 construction of Tech II, a $3 million two-story 20,000 square foot technology building home to Eagle Creek Software Services was completed. The company currently employs 65 people and expects to employ Page 21 | Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report over 135 people within two years. The VC-BCDC operates the Regional Technology Center (RTC), an incubator for new and expanding technology companies. VC-BCDC partners with Valley City State University (VCSU) to provide classroom work and internships so students succeed in technology careers at companies like Eagle Creek. Jennifer says the board has a lot to be proud of, “The success of Eagle Creek, John Deere Seeding Group, and other manufacturers demonstrate Valley City is among the best locations for growing companies.” John Deere has expanded production and begun construction of its $20 million Phase 1 100,000 square foot facility; adding on to its 225,000 square foot facility. John Deere currently employs 320 people and expects to add between 50 to 100 new jobs. A logistics service provider is planning to locate in a new 12,000 square foot facility east of John Deere. The sum of these projects equates to a new payroll of $4 million and an annual economic impact of over $21 million. The North Dakota National Guard will locate its new $32 million Regional Training Center on 20 acres near John Deere. When completed, the National Guard expects over 24,000 vehicles per year accessing the facility. Construction of the first building, a field maintenance center, is slated for 2015. According to Jennifer, “Dacotah Bank is the lead lender providing financial resources to establish the I-94 Regional Development Corridor. Without Dacotah Bank’s faith in VC-BCDC, our goals and mission, and ability to be successful, the Corridor would not be possible.” Dacotah Bank supports growth through the Flex PACE projects and other efforts. Volunteers have helped VCSU, the Development Corporation, Chamber of Commerce, Parks and Recreation, and others. “We know we can count on Dacotah Bank to provide community and banking leadership.” community investments: sioux falls , sd a&b business A&B Business is locally owned and operated and has grown from one office with three employees in 1981 to 18 locations in six states with more than 120 full-time employees.

Together we are building a legacy of excellence, one student at a time. The first school in Valley City, North Dakota was established in 1878 when there were about 500 people in Barnes County. The district has experienced many changes. Over the past two years the Junior and Senior High School in Valley City, North Dakota has implemented math and reading interventions to address academic concerns for students. Additionally, a concerted effort has been made to improve the accessibility of technology for the 1,131 students enrolled in K-12. According to Dan Larson, 7th and 8th grade principal and activities director for the school, great strides have been made with technology, “New iPad learning labs were created to allow the needed flexibility for our staff members and students to utilize technology. Our classrooms are equipped with SmartBoards and document cameras which help transform our classrooms by the providing our teachers with adequate technology to enhance their lessons. Our computer labs have been updated for use in our traditional classes in addition to supporting our math and reading curriculum.” The Valley City School District employs 137 full-time certified and non-certified employees and 40 part-time employees. The campus includes two elementary buildings and a Junior/Senior high facility. Jefferson Elementary has an enrollment of 332 students in grades K-3. Kindergarten is a full-day everyday program. Washington Elementary has an enrollment of 234 in grades 4-6. The Junior High enrollment is 157 students and the Senior High enrollment is 345 students. The Valley City School District has one private school, St. Catherine Elementary, which has an enrollment of 57 students.

The district is a member of the Sheyenne Valley Career Tech Center, a local area vocational/technical center offering training in various fields to high school juniors and seniors.” Interactive television (ITV) classes are also available to high school students through a consortium. The Valley City School District provides ITV classes that are not available in consortium member communities. Valley City students may select from about 73 courses which also include six courses considered dual credit options through Valley City State University. Dan said Dacotah Bank was an important partner in getting the Valley City schools’ scoreboard project off the ground. “Their enthusiastic support provided the momentum to take this project to the next step and to seek out additional sponsorship to turn this project into a reality. The project was well supported by our area businesses and sports boosters. Most exciting of all was the fact that we had it in place and fully operational by our second home football game of the season. Dacotah Bank was instrumental in being one of our leading sponsors and in helping Valley City Public Schools garner the necessary community support.” The addition at the sports field was just one of many upgrades according to Dan. “The scoreboard project at Hanna Field really was an integral piece to improving our football facility. Over the past few years the school has been steadily making improvements such as new bleachers and press boxes. The scoreboard and the technology it incorporates added an exciting new element to our games especially as we utilize the LED display to highlight our community, school, and students during games.” Photo courtesy of Steven Dahlmeier community investments: grants help with affordable housing U.S. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, announced $1.9 million in grants for South Dakota organizations from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Des Moines. Senator Johnson congratulated the recipients and highlighted the economic and humanitarian impact the funds will have. The grants will be used to rehabilitate and repair hundreds of properties across the state, helping South Dakota families raise their children in safe and healthy environments. “These funds will help South Dakota families rehabilitate their homes, to build a strong foundation for their children’s future, and to strengthen and stabilize the neighborhoods where they live. Rehabilitating houses helps increase property value for homeowners, improves neighborhoods, and boosts local economies. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines and all of these dedicated housing organizations deserve a lot of credit for the work they do for families and communities across this state,” said Senator Johnson. The funds were provided by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, as part of their Affordable Housing Program (AHP) to create safe and affordable homes for families and individuals across South Dakota. Projects in South Dakota have received over $20 million since the creation of the Affordable Housing Program. The grants are privately-funded by FHLB’s earnings, and no taxpayer funds are involved.

Page 31 | Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report $ 111,350 $ 117,328 $ 76,295 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.Trust services are provided to individuals and businesses in the South Dakota locations. General insurance operations are conducted in fourteen of the thirty-two 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% and 39% of total loans as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 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. Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report | Page 32 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 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. Fair Value Measurements The Company determined the fair value of certain assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 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. Page 33 | Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 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. 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. Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report | Page 34 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. Page 35 | Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) Earnings per Common Share Basic earnings per share represent income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following: 201220112010 Average number of common shares outstanding (in thousands) 1,113 1,114 1,113 NOTE 2 – RESTRICTION ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS Based on the type and amount of deposits received, the Company must maintain an appropriate amount of noninterest bearing cash balances in accordance with Federal Reserve Bank reserve requirements.The total of those reserve requirements was satisfied with vault cash. NOTE 3 - SECURITIES Debt and equity securities have been classified in the consolidated balance sheet according to management’s intent.

At December 31, 2011, five 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-than-temporarily impaired.

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, 2012 and 2011, 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 $3,259 and $6,594 at December 31, 2012 and 2011. 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 $2,700 and $2,634 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Changes in the allowance for loan losses are as follows: 2012 2011 2010 Balance, beginning of year $ 18,180 $ 16,039 $ 11,197 Provision for loan losses 6,750 5,300 6,100 Recoveries 724 360 492 Loans charged off (6,762) (3,519) (1,750) Balance, end of year $ 18,892 $ 18,180 $ 16,039 Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report | Page 38 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) The following table presents the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the recorded investment in loans and impairment methods as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 by portfolio segment.

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. Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report | Page 40 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, 2012 and 2011 was as follows: Credit risk profile by internally assigned grade – Commercial, Commercial Real Estate and Agricultural Pass Watch SubstandardDoubtful Total DECEMBER 31, 2012 Commercial $ 198,021$33,860$ 8,117$ 517$ 240,515 Commercial Real Estate 229,385 50,9858,358 - 288,728 Agricultural 532,726 89,235 12,788 233 634,982 $ 960,132$ 174,080$29,263$ 750$ 1,164,225 Pass Watch SubstandardDoubtful Total DECEMBER 31, 2011 Commercial $ 199,689$33,033$ 9,524$ -$ 242,246 Commercial Real Estate 233,444 33,3666,785 - 273,595 Agricultural 432,767 90,472 15,768 - 539,007 $ 865,900$ 156,871$32,077$ -$ 1,054,848 Credit risk profile by class based on payment activity – Residential and Consumer Residential real estate and consumer loans are managed on a pool basis due to their homogeneous nature.

NOTE 11 - 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, 2012 and 2011, management believes the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of December 31, 2012, 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.

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, 2012. NOTE 14 - 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, 2012 and 2011, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk: Contract Amount 2012 2011 Commitments to grant loans $ 328,995 $ 304,884 Standby letters of credit 9,652 17,245 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 15 - 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, 2012 and 2011 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. Dacotah Banks, Inc. 2012 Annual Report | Page 50 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) NOTE 16 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows: DECEMBER 31, 2012 Available-for-sale securities Loans held-for-sale Total assets Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Unobservable Input (Level 3) Total $ $ - $ 347,206 $ - 3,819 - $ 351,025 $ - $ - - $ 347,206 3,819 351,025 DECEMBER 31, 2011 Available-for-sale securities $ Loans held-for-sale Total assets $ - $ 316,602 $ - 2,887 - $ 319,489 $ - - - 316,602 2,887 319,489 $ $ The fair value of available-for-sale securities is estimated based on third-party pricing services information. This information is derived from comparison to similar securities traded in active markets. The fair value of loans held-for-sale is based on a comparison of market rates to portfolio rates. Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows: DECEMBER 31, 2012 Impaired loans Foreclosed assets Total assets Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) $ $ DECEMBER 31, 2011 Impaired loans $ Foreclosed assets Total assets Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total - $ - - $ - $ 41,281 - 2,452 - $ 43,733 $ - $ - - $ - $ - - $ 26,787 1,982 28,769 $ $ 41,281 2,452 43,733 26,787 1,982 28,769 The fair value of impaired loans is estimated based on 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 if the loan is collateral dependent. The fair value of foreclosed assets is estimated based on reference to market prices and information for similar assets, less estimated costs to sell.
