First Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim period reporting, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial positions at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the statements of cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009.

The results presented here are for First Bankshares, Inc. (“First Bankshares”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SuffolkFirst Bank (the “Bank”), on a consolidated basis. On February 23, 2008, we announced that the Bank’s Board of Directors had approved the formation of a bank holding company, First Bankshares, of which the Bank would become a wholly-owned subsidiary. The reorganization was effected through a share exchange in which each of the Bank’s shareholders received one share of First Bankshares common stock in exchange for each of their shares of the Bank’s common stock. First Bankshares became the Bank’s parent holding company on August 15, 2008. Because First Bankshares has no separate operations and conducts no business on its own other than owning the Bank, this discussion concerns primarily the business of the Bank. However, because the financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, First Bankshares and the Bank are collectively referred to as “the Company” unless otherwise noted.

The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed, and other related information are contained in the notes to the financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed as part of the Company’s 2008 annual report on Form 10-K. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2008 annual report on Form 10-K.

The Company’s critical accounting policy relates to the evaluation of the Allowance for Loan Losses, which is based on management’s opinion of an amount that is adequate to absorb potential loan loss in the Company’s existing portfolio. The Allowance for Loan Losses is established through a provision for loan loss based on available information, including the composition of the loan portfolio, historical loan loss (to the extent available), specific impaired loans, availability and quality of collateral, age of the various portfolios, changes in local economic conditions, and loan performance and quality of the portfolio. Different assumptions used in evaluating the adequacy of the Company’s Allowance for Loan Losses could result in material changes in the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s policies with respect to the methodology for determining the Allowance for Loan Losses involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about uncertain matters. These critical policies and their assumptions are periodically reviewed with the Board of Directors.

Note 2. Use of Estimates

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3. Income per share

Income per share data has been determined under the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “ Earnings per Share .” For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share have been computed based on the weighted average common shares outstanding of 2,276,298 and 2,276,298, respectively.

The only potential additional stock of the Company, as defined in SFAS 128, is stock options granted to various officers and employees of the Company. The following is a summary of the basic and diluted income per share calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Note 4. Income Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company reported a net loss of $444,157 and net income of $338,719, respectively. We recorded a federal income tax benefit of $228,300 and federal income tax expense of $170,950 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Note 5. Employee Stock Option Plan

The Company maintains an employee stock option plan that provides for grants of incentive and non-incentive stock options. This plan has been presented to and approved by the Company’s shareholders. Through December 31, 2006, the Company accounted for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “ Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ,” and related interpretations. Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost has been recognized, as all options granted under this plan had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2008, all outstanding stock options were fully vested. No stock options were granted or vested during the six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008 and, accordingly, net income (loss) and earnings per share would not have been affected if compensation cost for the stock-based compensation plan had been determined based on the grant date fair values of awards (the method described in SFAS No. 123(R), “ Share-Based Payment ”) and any stock-based employee compensation for future grants will be determined using the Black-Scholes or another appropriate option-pricing model with the following assumptions: option price, dividend yield, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected life.

Note 6. Supplemental Cash Flows Information

The Company paid interest expense of $2,323,951 and $2,908,133 on deposits, federal funds purchased, and other borrowed funds for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Federal income taxes of $211,147 were paid for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to federal income taxes of $163,500 paid for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Note 7. Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “ Fair Value Measurements ,” for financial assets and financial liabilities. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position (“FSP”) No. SFAS 157-2, “ Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 ,” the Company delayed application of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company in the first six months of 2009. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The application of SFAS 157 in situations where the market for a financial asset is not active was clarified by issuance of FSP No. SFAS 157-3, “ Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset when the Market for that Asset is not Active ,” in October 2008. FSP No. SFAS 157-3 became effective immediately and did not significantly impact the methods by which the Company determines the fair values of its financial assets.

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

 

Level 1    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2    Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3    Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products, and exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, and certain corporate, asset-backed, and other securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. Currently, all of the Company’s securities are considered to be Level 2 securities.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans

Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral- dependent. A portion of the Allowance for Loan Losses is allocated to impaired loans if the value of such loans is deemed to be

 

11


Table of Contents

less than the unpaid balance. If these allocations cause the Allowance for Loan Losses to increase, such increases are reported as a component of the provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the Allowance for Loan Losses when management believes the uncollectability of a loan is confirmed. At June 30, 2009, the Company had $3,636,220 of impaired loans, or 3.19% of total loans, compared to $965,908 in impaired loans, or 0.85% of total loans, at June 30, 2008. It is the opinion of management that the Allowance for Loan Losses is adequate to absorb any loss related to these loans. The valuation of these impaired loans would be considered Level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned is measured at the asset’s fair value less costs for disposal. The Company estimates fair value at the asset’s liquidation value less disposal costs using management’s assumptions, which are based on current market analysis or recent appraisals. At June 30, 2009, the Company had $649,515 in other real estate owned, or 0.38% of total assets, compared to no other real estate owned at June 30, 2008.

SFAS No. 107, “ Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, ” as amended, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Federal Funds Sold

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Stock

The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of each institution.

Loans

Loans are classified by type, such as commercial, real estate (residential real estate and other), loans to individuals, and all other loans. Each loan category is further classified by fixed- and adjustable-rate interest terms. The Bank has not obtained or developed a fair value of loans model necessary to make the estimate. Management believes the purchase of an independent evaluation software model is not cost effective at this time.

Federal Funds Purchased and Borrowed Funds

Federal funds purchased are bought and sold daily, while borrowed funds mature at various future dates. The carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Deposits

The balance of demand deposits, NOW accounts, and money market and savings deposits reflects the fair value payable on demand to the accountholder. Management believes the purchase of an independent evaluation software model to determine the fair value estimates of fixed-maturity time deposits and certificates of deposit is not cost effective at this time.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

The only amounts recorded for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are the deferred fees arising from these unrecognized financial instruments. These deferred fees are not deemed significant at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and as such, the related fair values have not been estimated.

The carrying amounts and approximate fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information, as well as information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets that are not considered financial assets include deferred tax assets, premises and equipment, and other real estate owned. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

Note 9. Proposed Merger

On May 12, 2009, First Bankshares announced its intention to merge with Xenith Corporation (“Xenith”) of Richmond, Virginia. Subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, the merger is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2009. Following the merger, the combined organizations will operate as a one-bank holding company under the name Xenith Bankshares, Inc. Under the terms of the merger agreement, shareholders of First Bankshares may elect to retain their shares of First Bankshares common stock or to receive $9.23 in cash per share, subject to proration in the event the aggregate cash elections exceed 25% of the shares of First Bankshares common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. Shareholders of Xenith will receive approximately 0.9127 shares of First Bankshares common stock for each share of Xenith common stock owned at the time of the merger, with the exact exchange ratio determined immediately prior to the effective time of the merger based on the book value per share of Xenith common stock at such time divided by $9.23.

Note 10. Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141(R)-1, “ Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies ,” to amend SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “ Business Combinations .” SFAS 141(R)-1 addresses the initial recognition, measurement, and subsequent accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination and requires that such assets acquired or liabilities assumed be initially recognized at fair value at the acquisition date if fair value can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value cannot be determined, the asset acquired or liability assumed arising from a contingency is recognized only if certain criteria are met. SFAS 141(R)-1 also requires that a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for the assets and liabilities be developed depending on their nature. SFAS 141(R)-1 shall be effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is during or after 2010. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, absent any material business combinations.

        In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, “ Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly .” FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. The FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

        In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “ Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments .” FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amend SFAS No. 107, “ Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. In addition, the FSP amends APB Opinion No. 28, “ Interim Financial Reporting ,” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The FSP is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 is discussed further in Note 7, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities.”

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “ Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments .” FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amend other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities. The FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements . Impairment of unrealized losses on securities is discussed further in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under “Securities” on page 19.

In April 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 111 (“SAB 111”). SAB 111 amends and replaces SAB Topic 5.M. in the SAB Series entitled “ Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities .” SAB 111 maintains the SEC staff’s previous views related to equity securities and amends Topic 5.M. to exclude debt securities from its scope. The Company does not expect the implementation of SAB 111 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “ Subsequent Events .” SFAS 165 is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, it establishes that the Company must evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued, the circumstances under which a subsequent event should be recognized, and the circumstances for which a subsequent event should be disclosed. SFAS 165 requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. SFAS 165 became effective for the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “ Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 .” SFAS 166 amends SFAS No. 140, “ Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities ,” to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. SFAS 166 also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. SFAS 166 will be effective January 1, 2010. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “ Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) .” SFAS 167 amends FIN 46 (Revised December 2003), “ Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ,” to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its effect on the entity’s financial statements. SFAS 167 will be effective January 1, 2010. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “ The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 .” SFAS 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, “ The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ,” and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative guidance for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. All non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is superseded and deemed non-authoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for the Company’s financial statements for periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion is intended to assist readers in understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. This review should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this document. This discussion is intended to assist in understanding our financial condition and results of operations. The data presented for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are derived from our unaudited interim financial statements and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal reoccurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the data for such periods.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the information and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. In addition to the historical information contained herein, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, and expectations of management, are generally identifiable by use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “may,” “will” or similar expressions. Although we believe our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions, or expectations will be achieved.

Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain, and actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated.

We have experienced increases in nonperforming assets during the current economic climate. A continuation of the recent turbulence in significant portions of the global financial markets, particularly if it worsens, could further impact our performance, both directly by affecting our revenues and the value of our assets and liabilities, and indirectly by affecting our counterparties

and the economy generally. The dramatic decline in the U.S. housing market and increasing weakness in commercial real estate has resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions in the United States. Concerns about the stability of the U.S. financial markets generally have reduced the availability of funding to certain financial institutions, leading to a tightening of credit, reduction of business activity, and increased market volatility. There can be no assurance that the EESA, the ARRA or the actions taken by the U.S. Treasury thereunder will stabilize the U.S. financial system or alleviate the industry or economic factors that may adversely affect our business. In addition, our business and financial performance could be impacted as the financial industry restructures in the current environment, both by changes in the creditworthiness and performance of our counterparties and by changes in the competitive and regulatory landscape.

Results of Operations

Overview

The primary source of our revenue is net interest income, which represents the difference between interest income on earning assets and interest expense on liabilities used to fund those assets. Interest-earning assets include loans, available-for-sale securities, and federal funds sold. Interest-bearing liabilities include deposits and borrowings. Sources of noninterest income include service charges on deposit accounts, fees from mortgage loan origination, and other miscellaneous income.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, our net loss was $718,415, compared to net income of $78,745 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Our operating results declined for the three months ended June 30, 2009, due in part to an increase in legal and consulting fees from $30,270 to $627,947 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively, related to the proposed merger between First Bankshares and Xenith, as well as a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assessment of $78,000 that was expensed for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009. In addition, provision expense to the Allowance for Loan Losses increased from $60,000 to $600,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, our net loss was $444,157, compared to net income of $338,719 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Our operating results declined for the six months ended June 30, 2009, due in part to an increase in legal and consulting fees from $54,213 to $720,390 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively, related to the proposed merger between First Bankshares and Xenith, as well as an FDIC assessment of $78,000 that was expensed in the second quarter of 2009. In addition, provision expense to the Allowance for Loan Losses increased from $119,700 to $640,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, volume of interest-bearing assets and liabilities, and the composition of those assets and liabilities. A decline in the average yield on loans from 6.70% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 5.75% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 has been the primary contributor to our decrease in interest income. Our decrease in interest expense for the same period is due primarily to a decrease in the cost of funds, from 4.68% to 3.71% on time deposits and from 3.43% to 2.14% on federal funds purchased and other borrowed funds. The changes in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a decrease of our interest expense that was greater than the decrease of our interest income, which accounts for the increase in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Table of Contents

Net interest income increased from $935,107 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $1,113,319 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This increase can be attributed primarily to a decrease in the cost of funds, from 4.51% to 3.69% on time deposits and from 4.05% to 3.24% on federal funds purchased and other borrowed funds. The changes in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a decrease of our interest expense that was greater than the decrease of our interest income, which accounts for the increase in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Our management strives to maximize net interest income through prudent balance sheet administration, while maintaining appropriate risk levels as determined by our board of directors. The “net interest margin” is a common statistic related to changes in interest income. The net interest margin is defined as the percentage of net interest income to average earning assets. Net interest income after the provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,653,704, compared to $1,842,880 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease is due to lower average yields on both our securities and loan portfolios as well as an increase in provision for loan losses expense as noted on page 23.

The net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 2.84% and 2.74%, respectively. The decline in net interest margin can be primarily attributed to the Company’s asset-sensitive position in a declining interest rate environment where rates on a portion of our loan portfolio adjusted faster than rates on time deposits and specific borrowed funds.

The following table, “Average Balances, Interest Income/Expense and Average Yield/Rates,” provides a detailed analysis of the effective yields and rates on the categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. The average balances used in this table and other statistical data were calculated using daily average balances.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased from $166,422 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $126,162 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in noninterest income was due primarily to reduced dividends of $62,876 on Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock and was partially offset by a gain on the sale of investments of $14,750 during the second quarter of 2009.

Noninterest income decreased from $586,526 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $440,796 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in noninterest income was due primarily to a reduced gain on the sale of investments, from $264,625 to $232,161 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively; a decrease of $6,804 related to service charges on deposit accounts; and reduced dividends of $90,636 on Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased from $925,084 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $1,728,496 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to an increase in merger-related expenses of $603,202 and an increase in FDIC assessments of $95,395.

Salaries and employee benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $37,395 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 due to the outsourcing of the Company’s IT function; however, overall noninterest expense increased from $1,919,737 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $2,766,957 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to an increase in merger-related expenses.

The unrealized loss positions at June 30, 2009 were directly related to interest rate movements as there is minimal credit risk exposure in these investments. At June 30, 2009, the Bank held one preferred security with a book value of $2,267,302 that was rated below investment grade; all other securities are investment grade. Investments with unrealized loss positions of less than 12 months duration at June 30, 2009 totaled $21,410,883 and included one federal agency mortgage-backed security. Securities with losses of one year or greater duration totaled $4,109,072 and included four federal agency mortgage-backed securities. Because we do not intend to sell these investments and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of unrealized losses, we do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2009 and no impairment has been recognized.

Loan Portfolio

Our primary source of income is our lending activities. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, loans net of the Allowance for Loan Losses totaled $111.8 million and $115.6 million, respectively, and represented a loan-to-deposit ratio of 86.23% and 89.99%, respectively.

We offer three major types of loans: residential real estate, commercial, and installment and other loans to customers throughout our market area. We also originate and purchase loans outside of our primary market area. The Company has purchased loans from other banks (participation loans) that include hotel and commercial and residential real estate development loans. Hotel loans are identified as a concentration of credit as it relates to the percentage of total outstanding loans. Hotel loans on June 30, 2009 represented $11.8 million, or 10.32% of total loans, while commercial and residential real estate development loans represented $5.0 million, or 4.39% of total loans, on June 30, 2009. An additional concentration includes unimproved land loans that represented $4.0 million, or 3.50% of total loans, comprised primarily of commercial land loans in the amount of $2.2 million, or 1.89% of total loans, and residential 1-4 family mortgages in the amount of $1.2 million, or 1.05% of total loans, on June 30, 2009. Management and the board of directors monitor these concentrations periodically.

In the normal course of its business, the Bank purchased various participation loans made by Silverton Bank National Association, referred to herein as Silverton, and its subsidiary, Specialty Finance Group, LLC, referred to herein as SFG. Collectively, these participation loans totaled approximately $20.9 million, or 18.3% of the total loan portfolio, as of June 30, 2009. On May 1, 2009, Silverton was closed by the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC was appointed as its receiver, charged with the duty of winding up the affairs of Silverton. On May 5, 2009, the Bank was informally advised that SFG remains open for business and intends to continue to administer participation agreements in accordance with past practices. The Bank’s three participation loans with Silverton totaled approximately $5.5 million, or 4.8% of the total loan portfolio, as of June 30, 2009. The Bank’s ten participation loans with SFG totaled approximately $15.4 million, or 13.5% of the total loan portfolio, as of June 30, 2009. Management continues to monitor these participation loans closely and is in communication with the FDIC and the other institutions participating in the loans with respect to the status of Silverton and SFG. There can be no assurance that the failure of Silverton will not have an adverse effect on these participation loans, which, in turn, could potentially lead to increased provisions for loan losses and otherwise adversely affect the operating results and financial condition of the Company and the Bank.

[1] As of June 30, 2009, 46% of commercial real estate loans were secured by business locations, 29% were secured by rental property, 10% were secured by churches, 1% were secured by farms, and 14% were secured by other real estate.

 

[2] As of December 31, 2008, 71% of commercial real estate loans were secured by business locations, 14% were secured by rental property, 9% were secured by churches, 1% were secured by farms, and 5% were secured by other real estate.

A certain degree of risk taking is inherent in the extension of credit. Management has established loan and credit policies designed to control both the types and amounts of risks we take and to minimize losses. Such policies include limits on loan-to-collateral ratios for each type of loan, requirements for appraisals of real estate collateral, problem loan management practices and collection procedures, and nonaccrual and charge-off guidelines.

Commercial loans primarily represent loans made to businesses and may be made on either a secured or an unsecured basis. When taken, collateral consists of liens on receivables, equipment, inventories, furniture, and fixtures. Unsecured business loans are generally short-term with an emphasis on repayment strengths and low debt-to-worth ratios. Commercial lending involves significant risk because repayment usually depends on the cash flows generated by a borrower’s business, and the debt service capacity of a business can deteriorate as a result of downturns in national and local economic conditions. To control risk, initial and continuing analysis of a borrower’s financial information is required.

Real estate residential construction loans generally consist of financing the construction of 1-4 family dwellings. As of June 30, 2009, real estate residential construction loans totaled $2.1 million.

Table of Contents

Loans secured by real estate comprised 83.57% of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2009 and 83.67% at December 31, 2008. Residential real estate loans consist primarily of first and second mortgage loans on single family homes. Loan-to-value ratios for these loans are generally limited to 90%. Nonfarm, nonresidential loans are secured by business and commercial properties with loan-to-value ratios generally limited to 80%. The repayment of both residential and commercial real estate loans depends primarily on the income and cash flows of the borrowers, with the real estate serving as a secondary or liquidation source of repayment.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Allowance for Loan Losses is increased by direct charges to the provision for loan loss expense. Losses on loans are charged against the allowance in the period in which management has determined loans have become uncollectible. It is our policy to record recoveries of previously charged-off loans as a credit to the allowance. We experienced $138,232 in charge-offs and $1,122 in recoveries for the six months ended June 30, 2009. We experienced $89,692 in charge-offs and $6,499 in recoveries for the year ended December 31, 2008. The following table, “Analysis of the Allowance for Loan Losses,” summarizes the Company’s loan loss experience by loan category for the periods presented. At June 30, 2009, management recognized loans that were impaired in principal and interest and is of the opinion that the Allowance for Loan Losses is adequate to absorb any loss related to these loans. At June 30, 2009, the Company had $2.7 million of nonperforming loans which relate to a limited number of small credit relationships. Management’s policy is to evaluate loan loss history compared to the actual loan loss reserve quarterly to ensure the Allowance for Loan Losses is adequate. Based on this quarterly evaluation, the Company charged $600,000 to the provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to a charge of $60,000 for the same period of 2008.

As discussed above under the caption “Loan Portfolio,” in the normal course of business the Bank purchased various participation loans from Silverton and its subsidiary, SFG. Based on management’s analysis of the possible loan loss related to these specific loans, in the second quarter of 2009, the Company made a charge of $548,000 to the provision for loan losses with respect to these participation loans, which charge represents 91.3% of the total provision for loan losses expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Reserves related to these participation loans represented 25.9% of the total Allowance for Loan Losses of approximately $2.2 million as of June 30, 2009.

During the period ending June 30, 2009, nonperforming loans increased from $676,566 as of December 31, 2008, to $2.7 million. During the same time period, the single loan representing the total as of December 31, 2008, was moved out of criticized assets. This re-classification, supported by a recent appraisal, allowed the re-allocation of $101,485 in the allowance for loan losses against current loans considered by management to be impaired. In addition, several loans which were previously viewed as impaired had material curtailments which enabled an additional $410,609 of the December 31, 2008 reserve to also be re-allocated to the current allowance. The re-classification of these resources had the effect of providing an additional $512,074 in the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2009. After reviewing the specific allocations relating to both nonperforming assets and criticized assets, management considers the current allowance total of $2,190,173, or 1.92% of total loans, to be adequate. These reviews included all available cash flow information as well as recent valuations on the assets supporting the credit exposures.

In reviewing the adequacy of the Allowance for Loan Losses at June 30, 2009, management considers multiple criteria. Criteria used to evaluate the adequacy of the Allowance for Loan Losses include the evaluation of current economic conditions affecting the borrowers’ ability to repay; the volume of loans; the trends in delinquent, nonaccruing, and potential problem loans; and the quality of collateral securing nonperforming and problem loans. Therefore, management considers the loan loss reserve adequate to cover its estimate of possible future losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management presently uses a loan risk grading system to determine the overall risk and quality of the loan portfolio as well as other off-balance sheet credit risk evaluations, such as loan commitments and standby letters of credit. The calculation provides for management’s assessment of trends in national and local economic conditions that might affect the general quality of the loan portfolio. Regulators review the adequacy of the Allowance for Loan Losses as part of their examination of the Company and may require adjustments to the allowance based on information available to them at the time of the examination.

Nonperforming Loans

It is the Company’s policy to discontinue accrual of interest income when a loan is 90 days past due as to interest and principal or when there is serious doubt as to collectability, unless the estimated net realized value of collateral is sufficient to assure collection of principal balance and accrued interest.

As of June 30, 2009, management recognized $2.7 million in nonperforming loans, which represents 2.34% of total outstanding loans. As of December 31, 2008, management recognized $676,566 in total nonperforming loans, which represented 0.58% of total outstanding loans. The increase in nonperforming loans from December 31, 2008 can be attributed primarily to three secured transactions which may possibly result in foreclosure. Management is currently negotiating with a potential buyer for the largest of the assets and considers these loans to be reasonably protected by assets and allocation in the Allowance for Loan Losses so as not to present a material event to the loan portfolio. Nonperforming loans included $24 thousand in nonaccrual interest as of June 30, 2009 and $49 thousand in nonaccrual interest as of December 31, 2008.

Management believes the Allowance for Loan Losses is adequate to cover any loss in these loans if liquidation of the collateral is necessary.

Potential Problem Loans

Our loan policy requires management to identify and maintain a list of potential problem loans, including problem loans that are in nonaccrual status and loans that are past due 90 days or more. A loan is added to the potential problem list when management becomes aware of information related to possible credit problems of borrowers that cause serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the current loan repayment terms.

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the potential problem list included $10,475,563 and $5,949,085 in loans, respectively. This represents a $4,526,478, or 76%, increase in the Company’s potential problem loans since December 31, 2008. Problem loans increased due to the fact that two loans with Silverton were added as a result of Silverton entering receivership. Due to the uncertainty of Silverton’s future, these loans were added as a precaution. The balances of these loans represent approximately two-thirds of the increase in problem loans. It is not currently expected that any other loans with Silverton will become problematic.

Other Real Estate Owned

The Company had other real estate owned (“OREO”) of $649,515, or 0.38% of total assets, at June 30, 2009, compared to no other real estate owned at December 31, 2008. Based on management’s assessment, we do not anticipate a material change in the value of these real estate assets. The estimated fair value of the OREO was determined by an appraiser prior to acquisition, and future carrying values will be determined by an annual appraisal of the market value of the OREO.

Deposits

Deposits represent our primary source of funds and are comprised of demand deposits, savings deposits, and time deposits. Deposits at June 30, 2009 totaled $129.7 million, compared to $130.3 million at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $574,481, or 0.44%

Capital Adequacy

The management of capital in a regulated financial services industry must properly balance return on equity to stockholders, while maintaining sufficient capital levels and related risk-based capital ratios to satisfy regulatory requirements. The Company’s capital management strategies have been developed to maintain its “well-capitalized” position. Total stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2009 of $15.9 million includes unrealized losses, net of tax, of $579,940 on securities held as available for sale. The Company is considered by our board of directors, management, and regulators to be well-capitalized.

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger certain mandatory and possible disciplinary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities and certain off-balance items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and reclassifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to average assets. As of June 30, 2009, the Company met all minimum capital adequacy requirements and is categorized as “well-capitalized.” There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed our category.

The Company is considered to be well-capitalized under the regulatory definition of a well-capitalized bank. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Company must maintain minimum total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. The Company exceeded each of the required minimum ratios to be considered well-capitalized at June 30, 2009.

Liquidity

Liquidity is defined as the ability to generate or acquire sufficient amounts of cash when needed and at a reasonable cost to accommodate withdrawals, payments of debt, and increased loan demand. These events may occur daily or in other short-term intervals in the normal operation of business. Historical trends help management predict time cycles and the amount of cash required. In assessing liquidity, management gives consideration to relevant factors including stability of deposits, quality of assets, economy of market served, concentrations of business and industry, competition, and the Company’s overall financial condition. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash, due from banks, federal funds sold, and securities maintained in our available-for-sale portfolio. In addition, we have substantial lines of credit from our correspondent banks ($5 million), along with an arrangement to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank up to thirty percent (30%) of total assets and from the Federal Reserve under certain conditions. These credit lines are available through our correspondent banks for short-term liquidity needs and are subject to prevailing interest rates. In the judgment of management, we maintain the ability to generate sufficient amounts of cash to cover normal requirements and any additional needs, which may arise, within realistic limitations.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Financial institutions can be exposed to several market risks that may impact the value or future earnings capacity of an organization. Our primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is inherent in banking because, as a financial institution, the Company derives a significant amount of its operating revenue from “purchasing” funds (customer deposits and possible borrowings) at various terms and rates. These funds are then invested into earning assets (loans, investments, etc.) at various terms and rates.

Interest rate risk is the exposure to fluctuations in future earnings (earnings at risk) and value (value at risk) resulting from changes in interest rates. This exposure results from differences between the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that re-price within a specific time period as a result of scheduled maturities and repayment and contractual interest rate changes.

The primary objective of our asset-liability management process is to maximize current and future net interest income within acceptable levels of interest rate risk while satisfying liquidity and capital requirements. Management recognizes that a certain amount of interest rate risk is inherent and appropriate. The goal is to maintain a balance between risk and reward such that net interest income is maximized, while risk is maintained at an acceptable level.

Management strives to control the exposure to interest rate volatility and operates under policies and guidelines established by our board of directors which sets the level of acceptable risk by understanding, reviewing, and making decisions based on risk position. In addition, pricing, promotion, and product development activities are assessed in an effort to emphasize the loan and deposit term or re-pricing characteristics that best meet current interest risk objectives. We use a variety of analytical systems and balance sheet tools to manage interest rate risk.

Gap Analysis

Gap analysis tools monitor the “gap” between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities. We use a simulation model to forecast future balance sheet and income statement behavior. By studying the effects on net interest income of rising, stable, and falling interest rate scenarios, we can position the Company to take advantage of anticipated interest rate movements, by understanding the dynamic nature of its balance sheet components. We evaluate the securities, loans, and deposit portfolios to manage our interest rate risk position.

The following table on page 29, “Gap Report,” indicates that, on a cumulative basis through twelve months, the Company reflects rate-sensitive assets exceeding rate-sensitive liabilities, resulting in an asset-sensitive position at June 30, 2009 of $145 thousand. This net asset-sensitive position was a result of $86.4 million in rate-sensitive assets being available for re-pricing during the next 12 months and $86.3 million in rate-sensitive liabilities available for re-pricing during the next 12 months, which reflects a cumulative positive gap of $145 thousand. Our current gap position is considered by management to be favorable in a flat to increasing interest rate environment. A negative interest sensitivity gap results when interest-sensitive liabilities exceed interest-sensitive assets for a specific re-pricing “horizon.” The gap is positive when interest-sensitive assets exceed interest-sensitive liabilities. For a bank with a positive gap, rising interest rates would be expected to have a positive effect on net interest income and falling rates would be expected to have the opposite effect. The following table reflects the balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at the earlier of their re-pricing or maturity dates. Amounts of fixed-rate loans are reflected at the earlier of their contractual maturity date or their contractual re-pricing date. Time deposits are reflected at the deposits’ maturity dates. Borrowed funds are reflected in the earliest contractual re-pricing interval due to the immediately available nature of these funds. Interest-bearing liabilities with no contractual maturity, such as interest-bearing transaction accounts and savings deposits, are reflected in the earliest re-pricing interval due to contractual arrangements which give management the opportunity to vary the rates paid on these deposits within a thirty (30) day or shorter period.

However, we are under no obligation to vary the rates paid on those deposits within any given period. Fixed-rate time deposits are reflected at their contractual maturity dates. Fixed-rate advances are reflected at their contractual maturity dates, and variable-rate advances are reflected in the earliest re-pricing interval, since they were borrowed under the daily-rate credit option and re-price daily.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In our normal course of business, we may have outstanding commitments for the extension of credit that are not reflected in the financial statements. These commitments represent no more than the normal lending risk that we commit to our borrowers. If these commitments are drawn, we may obtain collateral if it is deemed necessary based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. As of June 30, 2009, we had outstanding commitments to extend credit of $16.1 million and letters of credit of $41 thousand. Management believes these commitments can be funded, if required, through normal operations and has received commitment fees related to these lending activities.
