1. NATURE OF BANKING ACITIVIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the “Company”) is a bank holding company that was originally incorporated in 2005. On January 1, 2014, the Company completed a reincorporation from Delaware, its original state of incorporation, to Virginia. The form of the reincorporation was the merger of the then existing Delaware corporation into a newly created Virginia corporation. The Company retained the same name and conducts business in the same manner as before the reincorporation.

The Company is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia and is the holding company for Essex Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia state bank with 20 full-service offices, 14 of which are in Virginia and six of which are in Maryland. The Bank also operates two loan production offices in Virginia. The Company relocated its corporate headquarters on March 31, 2014. The Bank opened a new branch office in Annapolis, Maryland on March 25, 2014 and a branch office at its new headquarters in Richmond, Virginia on April 7, 2014. The Bank closed its branch office in Landover Hills, Maryland on October 24, 2014.

The Bank engages in a general commercial banking business and provides a wide range of financial services primarily to individuals and small businesses, including individual and commercial demand and time deposit accounts, commercial and industrial loans, consumer and small business loans, real estate and mortgage loans, investment services, on-line and mobile banking products, and safe deposit box facilities.

Financial Statements

The consolidated statements presented include accounts of the Company and the Bank, its wholly-owned subsidiary. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and to the general practices within the banking industry. The interim financial statements have not been audited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal accruals, were made that are necessary to present fairly the balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2014, statements of shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and statements of income and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

The financial information contained within the statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained when either earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. The Company uses historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in its loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that the Company uses. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of the Company’s transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact its transactions could change.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation.

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-04, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) - Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. Although current guidance indicates that a creditor should reclassify a collateralized mortgage loan as other real estate owned when it determines that there has been in substance a repossession or foreclosure by the creditor, that is, the creditor receives physical possession of the debtor’s assets regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings take place, the terms in substance a repossession or foreclosure and physical possession are not defined in the accounting literature. This has resulted in diversity about when a creditor should derecognize the loan receivable and recognize the real estate property. The objective of the amendments in this update is to reduce diversity by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs. The amendments state that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company currently records foreclosures in accordance with this guidance; therefore, no changes are necessary for adoption.

Also in January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-01, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that invest in qualified affordable housing projects through limited liability entities that are flow through entities for tax purposes. Currently, an investor that invests in a qualified affordable housing project may elect to account for that investment using the effective yield method. Those not electing the effective yield method would account for the investment using the equity method or cost method. The Task Force received stakeholder feedback indicating that certain of the required conditions for the effective yield method are overly restrictive and thus prevent many investments in qualified affordable housing projects from qualifying for the use of this method. Those stakeholders stated that presenting the investment performance net of taxes as a component of income tax expense (benefit) as prescribed by the effective yield method more fairly represents the economics and provides users with a better understanding of the returns from such investments than the equity or cost methods.

The amendments in this ASU eliminate the effective yield election and permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). Those not electing the proportional amortization method would account for the investment using the equity method or cost method. The decision to apply the proportional amortization method of accounting is an accounting policy decision that should be applied consistently to all qualifying affordable housing project investments rather than a decision to be applied to individual investments. A reporting entity should disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to understand the nature of its investments in qualified affordable housing projects, and the effect of the measurement of its investments in qualified affordable housing projects and the related tax credits on its financial position and results of operations. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were $17.0 million and $12.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $61.6 million and $66.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method. Gross realized gains and losses on sales of securities available for sale during the periods were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013			September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013

In estimating other than temporary impairment (OTTI) losses, management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and short-term prospects for the issuer, and the intent and ability of management to hold its investment for a period of time to allow a recovery in fair value. There were no investments held that had OTTI losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

The fair value and gross unrealized losses for securities, segregated by the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous gross unrealized loss position, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

The unrealized losses (impairments) in the investment portfolio at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are generally a result of market fluctuations that occur daily. The unrealized losses are from 195 securities at September 30, 2014. Of those, 183 are investment grade, have U.S. government agency guarantees, or are backed by the full faith and credit of local municipalities throughout the United States. Twelve investment grade corporate obligations comprise the remaining securities with unrealized losses at September 30, 2014. The Company considers the reason for impairment, length of impairment and ability to hold until the full value is recovered in determining if the impairment is temporary in nature. Based on this analysis, the Company has determined these impairments to be temporary in nature. The Company does not intend to sell and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities until they recover in value or reach maturity.

Market prices are affected by conditions beyond the control of the Company. Investment decisions are made by the management group of the Company and reflect the overall liquidity and strategic asset/liability objectives of the Company. Management analyzes the securities portfolio frequently and manages the portfolio to provide an overall positive impact to the Company’s income statement and balance sheet.

Securities with amortized costs of $77.0 million and $109.1 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes required or permitted by law. At each of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no securities purchased from a single issuer, other than U.S. Treasury issue and other U.S. Government agencies that comprised more than 10% of the consolidated shareholders’ equity.

3. LOANS NOT COVERED BY FDIC SHARED-LOSS AGREEMENT (NON-COVERED LOANS) AND RELATED ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company’s non-covered loans at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2014						December 31, 2013

The Company held $21.1 million and $38.5 million in balances of loans guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), which are included in various categories in the table above, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. As these loans are 100% guaranteed by the USDA, no loan loss provision is required. These loan balances included an unamortized purchase premium of $1.2 million and $2.5 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Unamortized purchase premium is recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield on a straight line basis, which is substantially equivalent to the results obtained using the effective interest method.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s allowance for credit losses was comprised of the following: (i) specific valuation allowances calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 310, Receivables, (ii) general valuation allowances calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 450, Contingencies, based on economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors, and (iii) historical valuation allowances calculated using historical loan loss experience. Management identified loans subject to impairment in accordance with ASC 310.

The Purchase and Assumption Agreement into which the Company and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) entered in January 2009 that provided for the Company’s assumption of all of the deposits and certain other liabilities and acquisition of substantially all assets of Suburban Federal Savings Bank (SFSB) included two shared-loss agreements with respect to certain covered loans and foreclosed real estate assets. See Notes 4 and 5 for more information on the Purchase and Assumption Agreement and the shared-loss agreements. The shared-loss agreement for loans other than those secured by single family, residential 1-4 family mortgages expired March 31, 2014. These loans, which had an outstanding principal balance of $10.0 million and a carrying value of $5.5 million at March 31, 2014, are being accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, commonly referred to as purchased credit impaired loans, and were classified as non-covered loans effective April 1, 2014 (the “PCI loans”).

The PCI loans are not classified as nonperforming assets as of September 30, 2014, as the loans are accounted for on a pooled basis, and interest income, through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows, is being recognized on all PCI loans.

The majority of impaired loans are also nonaccruing for which no interest income was recognized during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. No significant amounts of interest income were recognized on accruing impaired loans for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Interest income on nonaccrual loans, if recognized, is recorded using the cash basis method of accounting. Cash basis income of $301,000 and $598,000 was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. There were no significant amounts recognized during either of the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, estimated interest income of $204,000 and $259,000, respectively, would have been recorded if all such loans had been accruing interest according to their original contractual terms. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, estimated interest income of $583,000 and $774,000, respectively, would have been recorded if all such loans had been accruing interest according to their original contractual terms.

⁽¹⁾ The category “Individually Evaluated for Impairment” includes loans individually evaluated for impairment and determined not to be impaired. These loans totalled $18.6 million and $10.3 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The allowance for loans losses allocated to these loans was $500,000 and $239,000 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Non-covered loans are monitored for credit quality on a recurring basis. These credit quality indicators are defined as follows:

Pass - A pass loan is not adversely classified, as it does not display any of the characteristics for adverse classification. This category includes purchased loans that are 100% guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies of $21.1 million and $38.5 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Special Mention - A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, such potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or collateral position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not warrant adverse classification.

Substandard - A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard generally have a well defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - A doubtful loan has all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified as substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values.

In accordance with FASB ASU 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, the Company assesses all loan modifications to determine whether they are considered troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) under the guidance.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company modified one commercial loan that was considered to be a TDR. The Company extended the terms and lowered the interest rate for this loan, which had a pre- and post-modification balance of $69,000. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, there were no loans modified that were considered to be TDRs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company modified one residential 1-4 family loan that was considered to be a TDR. The Company extended the terms and lowered the interest rate for this loan, which had a pre- and post-modification balance of $174,000.

A loan is considered to be in default if it is 90 days or more past due. There were no TDRs that had been restructured during the previous 12 months that resulted in default during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. There was one TDR that had been restructured during the previous 12 months that resulted in default during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. This residential 1-4 family loan had a recorded investment of $173,000.

In the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management considers TDRs and subsequent defaults in these restructures by reviewing for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 310-10-35, Receivables, Subsequent Measurement.

At September 30, 2014 the Company had 1-4 family mortgages in the amount of $141.8 million pledged as collateral to the Federal Home Loan Bank for a total borrowing capacity of $108.8 million.

4. LOANS COVERED BY FDIC SHARED-LOSS AGREEMENTS (COVERED LOANS) AND RELATED ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

On January 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the FDIC to assume all of the deposits and certain other liabilities and acquire substantially all assets of SFSB. The Company is applying the provisions of FASB ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, to all loans acquired in the SFSB transaction (the “covered loans”). Of the total $198.3 million in loans acquired, $49.1 million met the criteria of FASB ASC 310-30. These loans, consisting mainly of construction loans, were deemed impaired at the acquisition date. The remaining $149.1 million of loans acquired, comprised mainly of residential 1-4 family, were analogized to meet the criteria of FASB ASC 310-30. Analysis of this portfolio revealed that SFSB utilized weak underwriting and documentation standards, which led the Company to believe that significant losses were probable given the economic environment at the time. The shared-loss agreement related to loans other than those secured by single family, residential 1-4 family mortgages expired March 31, 2014. These loans, which had an outstanding principal balance of $10.0 million and a carrying value of $5.5 million at March 31, 2014, were transferred to non-covered loans effective April 1, 2014 (the PCI loans). See Note 3 for further details.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the outstanding contractual balance of the covered loans was $97.6 million and $117.0 million, respectively. The carrying amount, by loan type, as of these dates is as follows (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2014					December 31, 2013
	Amount		% of Covered Loans			Amount		% of Covered Loans

Residential 1-4 family	$	60,528		94.08	%	$	64,610		88.18	%

Total covered loans	$	64,338		100.00	%	$	73,275		100.00	%

The allowance for loan losses related to the PCI loans of $98,000 was transferred to the non-covered allowance for loan losses effective April 1, 2014, and was related to commercial real estate loans. The remaining allowance for loan losses on covered loans of $386,000 at September 30, 2014, related to residential 1-4 family loans. There was no other activity in the allowance for loan losses on covered loans for either the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014. There was no activity in the allowance for loan losses on covered loans for either the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The change in the accretable yield balance for the periods ended September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Balance, January 1, 2013	$	54,144

Reclassification from nonaccretable yield		8,674
Transfer of PCI loans to non-covered loans		(4,773	)
Balance, September 30, 2014	$	46,756

The covered loans were not classified as nonperforming assets as of September 30, 2014, as the loans are accounted for on a pooled basis, and interest income, through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected cash flows, is being recognized on all covered loans.

5. FDIC Agreements and FDIC Indemnification Asset

On January 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the FDIC to assume all of the deposits and certain other liabilities and acquire substantially all assets of SFSB. Under the shared-loss agreements that are part of that agreement, the FDIC will reimburse the Bank for 80% of losses arising from covered loans and foreclosed real estate assets, on the first $118 million in losses on such covered loans and foreclosed real estate assets, and for 95% of losses on covered loans and foreclosed real estate assets thereafter. Under the shared-loss agreements, a “loss” on a covered loan or foreclosed real estate is defined generally as a realized loss incurred through a permitted disposition, foreclosure, short-sale or restructuring of the covered loan or foreclosed real estate. The reimbursements for losses on single family, 1-4 family residential mortgage assets are to be made quarterly through March 2019 for losses incurred through January 2019, and the reimbursements for losses on other covered assets were made quarterly through March 2014. The shared-loss agreements provide for indemnification from the first dollar of losses without any threshold requirement. The reimbursable losses from the FDIC are based on the book value of the relevant loan as determined by the FDIC at the date of the transaction, January 30, 2009. New loans made after that date are not covered by the shared-loss agreements. The fair value of the shared-loss agreements is detailed below.

The Company is accounting for the shared-loss agreements as an indemnification asset pursuant to the guidance in FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations. The FDIC indemnification asset is required to be measured in the same manner as the asset or liability to which it relates. The FDIC indemnification asset is measured separately from the covered loans and other real estate owned assets (OREO) because it is not contractually embedded in the covered loan and OREO and is not transferable should the Company choose to dispose of them. Fair value was estimated using projected cash flows available for loss sharing based on the credit adjustments estimated for each loan pool and other real estate owned and the loss sharing percentages outlined in the shared-loss agreements with the FDIC. These cash flows were discounted to reflect the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the loss sharing reimbursement from the FDIC.

Because the acquired loans are subject to shared-loss agreements and a corresponding indemnification asset exists to represent the value of expected payments from the FDIC, increases and decreases in loan accretable yield due to changing loss expectations will also have an impact on the valuation of the FDIC indemnification asset. Improvement in loss expectations will typically increase loan accretable yield and decrease the value of the FDIC indemnification asset and, in some instances, result in an amortizable premium on the FDIC indemnification asset. Increases in loss expectations will typically be recognized as impairment in the current period through allowance for loan losses, resulting in additional noninterest income for the amount of the increase in the FDIC indemnification asset.

In addition to the premium amortization, the balance of the FDIC indemnification asset is affected by expected payments from the FDIC. Under the terms of the shared-loss agreements, the FDIC will reimburse the Company for loss events incurred related to the covered loan portfolio. These events include such things as future writedowns due to decreases in the fair market value of OREO, net loan charge-offs and recoveries, and net gains and losses on OREO sales.

As discussed above, the shared-loss agreement for assets other than single family, 1-4 residential mortgage assets expired March 2014. The FDIC indemnification asset related to those assets was zero March 31, 2014.

7. LONG-TERM DEBT

On April 23, 2014, the Company repurchased the then outstanding 10,680 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 10). The Company funded the repurchase through an unsecured third-party term loan. The term loan, which has a maturity date of April 21, 2017, requires that the Company make quarterly payments of 7.5% of the initial outstanding principal, plus accrued interest, during a six-quarter period beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2014, quarterly payments of 10% of the initial outstanding principal, plus accrued interest, during the subsequent four-quarter period and the remaining principal amount and accrued interest at maturity. The interest rate resets quarterly based on three-month LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum. As of September 30, 2014, the interest rate was 3.73%. The Company made an unscheduled principal payment of $1.0 million during the third quarter leaving a balance of $9.680 million as of September 30, 2014.

9. Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

• Level 1—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

• Level 2—Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3—Valuation is determined using model-based techniques with significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of third party pricing services, option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company has not made any material FASB ASC 825 elections as of September 30, 2014.

Investment securities available for sale

Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value each reporting period. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions.

The Company utilizes a third party vendor to provide fair value data for purposes of determining the fair value of its available for sale securities portfolio. The third party vendor uses a reputable pricing company for security market data. The third party vendor has controls and edits in place for month-to-month market checks and zero pricing, and a Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 report is obtained from the third party vendor on an annual basis. The Company makes no adjustments to the pricing service data received for its securities available for sale.

Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company is also required to measure and recognize certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on the consolidated balance sheet. The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the period ended September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2014

Total liabilities at fair value	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—

Impaired loans, non-covered

Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures the impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 310, Receivables. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceeds the recorded investments in such loans. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, a majority of total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. The Company frequently obtains appraisals prepared by external professional appraisers for classified loans greater than $250,000 when the most recent appraisal is greater than 12 months old. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan within Level 2.

The Company may also identify collateral deterioration based on current market sales data, including price and absorption, as well as input from real estate sales professionals and developers, county or city tax assessments, market data and on-site inspections by Company personnel. Internally prepared estimates generally result from current market data and actual sales data related to the Company’s collateral or where the collateral is located. When management determines that the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3. In instances where an appraisal received subsequent to an internally prepared estimate reflects a higher collateral value, management does not revise the carrying amount. Impaired loans can also be evaluated for impairment using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. The measurement of impaired loans using future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate rather than the market rate of interest rate is not a fair value measurement and is therefore excluded from fair value disclosure requirements. Reviews of classified loans are performed by management on a quarterly basis.

Other real estate owned, covered and non-covered

Other real estate owned (OREO) assets are adjusted to fair value less estimated selling costs upon transfer of the related loans to OREO property. Subsequent to the transfer, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated selling costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset within Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines that the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value due to such things as absorption rates and market conditions, the Company records the foreclosed asset within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, 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 or nonrecurring basis. FASB ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The following reflects the fair value of financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the consolidated balance sheet, at fair value measures by level of valuation assumptions used for those assets. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying value approximates fair value (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2014

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheets at amounts other than fair value as of September 30, 2014. The Company applied the provisions of FASB ASC 820 to the fair value measurements of financial instruments not recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The provisions requiring the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and to measure fair value using a notion of exit price were factored into the Company’s selection of inputs into its established valuation techniques.

Financial Assets

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, interest bearing bank deposits, and federal funds sold approximate fair value.

COMMUNITY BANKERS TRUST CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Securities held for investment

For securities held for investment, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

Restricted securities

The carrying value of restricted securities approximates their fair value based on the redemption provisions of the respective issuer.

Loans held for sale

The carrying amounts of loans held for sale approximate fair value.

Loans not covered by FDIC shared-loss agreement (non-covered loans)

The fair value of loans, excluding PCI loans, is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The fair value of impaired loans is consistent with the methodology used for the FASB ASC 820 disclosure for assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis presented above. The fair value of non-covered loans that are PCI loans is estimated using the same methodology described below for covered loans.

Loans covered by FDIC shared-loss agreement (covered loans) and PCI loans

Fair values for covered loans and PCI loans are based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considers various factors including the type of loan and related collateral, classification status, term of loan and whether or not the loans are amortizing. Loans were pooled together according to similar characteristics and were treated in the aggregate when applying various valuation techniques. The discount rates used for loans are based on the rates used at acquisition (which were based on market rates for new originations of comparable loans) adjusted for any material changes in interest rates since acquisition. Increases in cash flow expectations since acquisition resulted in estimated fair value being higher than carrying value. The increase in cash flows is also reflected in a transfer from unaccretable yield to accretable yield as disclosed in Note 4.

FDIC indemnification asset

Loss sharing assets are measured separately from the related covered assets as they are not contractually embedded in the covered assets and are not transferable with the assets should the Company choose to dispose of them. Fair value is estimated using projected cash flows related to the obligations under the shared-loss agreements based on the expected reimbursements for losses and the applicable loss sharing percentages. These expected reimbursements do not include reimbursable amounts related to future covered expenditures. These cash flows were discounted to reflect the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the loss sharing reimbursement from the FDIC. A reduction in loss expectations has resulted in the estimated fair value of the FDIC indemnification asset being lower than its carrying value. This creates a premium that is amortized over the life of the asset and is reflected in Note 5.

Accrued interest receivable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable approximate fair value.

Financial Liabilities

Noninterest bearing deposits

The carrying amount of noninterest bearing deposits approximates fair value.

COMMUNITY BANKERS TRUST CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Interest bearing deposits

The fair value of NOW accounts, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase

The carrying amount of federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximates fair value.

Long-term borrowings

The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings, such as FHLB advances and long-term debt, are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued interest payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest payable approximate fair value.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of stand-by letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. The Company’s off-balance sheet commitments are funded at current market rates at the date they are drawn upon. It is management’s opinion that the fair value of these commitments would approximate their carrying value, if drawn upon.

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change, and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.

10. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding attributable to stock instruments (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data):

	Net Income Available to Common Shareholders (Numerator)		Weighted Average Common Shares (Denominator)		Per Common Share Amount

Basic EPS	$	3,873		21,695	$	0.18
Effect of dilutive stock awards		—		197		—
Diluted EPS	$	3,873		21,892	$	0.18

Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share were 30,000 common shares issuable under awards or options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive common shares issuable under awards, options or warrants of 846,000 and 66,000 were excluded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

In December 2008, the Company issued 17,680 shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A to the United States Department of Treasury in connection with the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program. Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, prior to its redemption, as discussed below, the Company was required to pay cumulative dividends on a quarterly basis at a rate of 5% per year on such amount through the February 2014 payment. After the February 2014 payment, the dividend rate automatically increased to 9% per year. The Company could defer dividend payments, but the dividend was a cumulative dividend that accrued for payment in the future. Deferred dividends also accrued interest at the same rate as the dividend. The failure to pay dividends for six dividend periods triggered the right for the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock to appoint two directors to the Company’s board.

COMMUNITY BANKERS TRUST CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

During 2013, the Company repurchased 7,000 shares of the original 17,680 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company funded the repurchase through the earnings of its banking subsidiary.

On April 23, 2014, the Company repurchased the remaining 10,680 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company funded the repurchase through an unsecured third-party term loan (See Note 7). The form of the repurchase was a redemption under the terms of the TARP preferred stock. The Company paid the Treasury $10.9 million, which represented 100% of the par value of the preferred stock repurchased plus accrued dividends with respect to such shares.

On June 4, 2014, the Company paid the Treasury $780,000 to repurchase the warrant that had been associated with the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company had originally issued the warrant, which permitted Treasury to purchase 780,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $3.40, in December 2008. There are no other investments from the Company's participation in TARP that remain outstanding.

11. DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN

On May 31, 2008, the Company adopted the Bank of Essex noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for all full-time pre-merger Bank employees over 21 years of age. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and the employees’ compensation. The Company funds pension costs in accordance with the funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The Company has frozen the plan benefits for all participants effective December 31, 2010. The following table presents the components of net periodic benefit cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (dollars in thousands):

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013			September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013
Interest cost	$	55		$	56		$	167		$	168
Expected return on plan assets		(99	)		(101	)		(297	)		(303	)

Recognized net actuarial loss		-			17			-			51
Net periodic benefit cost	$	(40	)	$	(28	)	$	(118	)	$	(84	)

As of September 30, 2014, there had been no employer contributions for the plan year. The Company is considering terminating the pension plan in the future. No determination has been made and the Company has not determined the financial impact of the termination of the plan.

12. BRANCH SALES

The Company is currently marketing for sale its office in Crofton, Maryland, which had been the former SFSB headquarters, and its office in Catonsville, Maryland. In accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the net book value of the offices, excluding furniture and equipment, of $2.8 million and $464,000, respectively, were classified as held for sale at September 30, 2014, as it represents the lower of cost or fair market value. In connection with the potential sale, the Company intends to lease approximately 66% of the Crofton office, including the current branch location. Any resulting gain will be deferred over the life of the lease in accordance with FASB ASC 840-40, Leases, Sale-Leaseback Transactions.

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

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition at September 30, 2014 and results of operations of Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the “Company”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included in this report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

OVERVIEW

Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the “Company”) is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia and is the holding company for Essex Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia state bank with 20 full-service offices, 14 of which are in Virginia and six of which are in Maryland. The Bank also operates two loan production offices in Virginia. The Company relocated its corporate headquarters on March 31, 2014. The Bank opened a new branch office in Annapolis, Maryland on March 25, 2014 and a branch office at its new headquarters in Richmond, Virginia on April 7, 2014. The Bank closed its branch office in Landover Hills, Maryland on October 24, 2014.

The Company generates a significant amount of its income from the net interest income earned by the Bank. Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income depends on the amount of interest earning assets outstanding during the period and the interest rates earned thereon. The Company’s cost of funds is a function of the average amount of interest bearing deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid thereon. The quality of the assets further influences the amount of interest income lost on nonaccrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses. Additionally, the Bank earns noninterest income from service charges on deposit accounts and other fee or commission-based services and products. Other sources of noninterest income can include gains or losses on securities transactions, gains from loan sales, transactions involving bank-owned property, and income from Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) policies. The Company’s income is offset by noninterest expense, which consists of salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, professional fees, the amortization of intangible assets and other operational expenses. The provision for loan losses and income taxes may materially affect net income.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The financial information contained within the statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained when either earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. For example, the Company uses historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in its loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that the Company uses. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of the Company’s transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact its transactions could change.

The following is a summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies that are highly dependent on estimates, assumptions and judgments.

Allowance for Loan Losses on Non-covered Loans

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 uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance is an amount that management believes is appropriate to absorb estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable credit losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio, based on an evaluation of the collectability of existing loans and prior loss experience. This quarterly evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. This evaluation does not include the effects of expected losses on specific loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or expected changes in economic conditions. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Bank to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. For loans that are also 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 non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Bank 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, availability of current financial information, 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 the 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.

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.

Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer

FASB ASC 310, Receivables, requires acquired loans to be recorded at fair value and prohibits carrying over valuation allowances in the initial accounting for acquired impaired loans. Loans carried at fair value, mortgage loans held for sale, and loans to borrowers in good standing under revolving credit arrangements are excluded from the scope of FASB ASC 310, which limits the yield that may be accreted to the excess of the undiscounted expected cash flows over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. The excess of the contractual cash flows over expected cash flows may not be recognized as an adjustment of yield. Subsequent increases in cash flows to be collected are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments through allowance for loan losses.

The Company’s acquired loans from the Suburban Federal Savings Bank (SFSB) transaction (the “covered loans”), subject to FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (formerly SFAS 141(R)), are recorded at fair value and no separate valuation allowance was recorded at the date of acquisition. FASB ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, applies to loans acquired in a transfer with evidence of deterioration of credit quality for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. The Company is applying the provisions of FASB ASC 310-30 to all loans acquired in the SFSB transaction. The Company has grouped loans together based on common risk characteristics including product type, delinquency status and loan documentation requirements among others.

The shared-loss agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) related to the acquisition of SFSB for loans other than those secured by single family, residential 1-4 family mortgages expired March 31, 2014. These loans will continue to be accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 310-30 as purchased credit impaired loans and were classified as non-covered loans effective April 1, 2014 (the “PCI loans”).

The covered loans and PCI loans are subject to the credit review standards described above for non-covered loans. If and when credit deterioration occurs subsequent to the date that the covered loans were acquired, a provision for credit loss for covered loans will be charged to earnings for the full amount without regard to the shared-loss agreements.

The Company has made an estimate of the total cash flows it expects to collect from each pool of loans, which includes undiscounted expected principal and interest. The excess of that amount over the fair value of the pool is referred to as accretable yield. Accretable yield is recognized as interest income on a constant yield basis over the life of the pool. The Company also determines each pool’s contractual principal and contractual interest payments. The excess of that amount over the total cash flows that it expects to collect from the pool is referred to as nonaccretable difference, which is not accreted into income. Judgmental prepayment assumptions are applied to both contractually required payments and cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition. Over the life of the loan or pool, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. Subsequent decreases in cash flows expected to be collected over the life of the pool are recognized as an impairment in the current period through the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent increases in expected or actual cash flows are first used to reverse any existing valuation allowance for that loan or pool. Any remaining increase in cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an adjustment to the accretable yield with the amount of periodic accretion adjusted over the remaining life of the pool.

FDIC Indemnification Asset

The Company is accounting for the shared-loss agreements as an indemnification asset pursuant to the guidance in FASB ASC 805. The FDIC indemnification asset is required to be measured in the same manner as the asset or liability to which it relates. The FDIC indemnification asset is measured separately from the covered loans and other real estate owned (OREO) assets because it is not contractually embedded in the covered loan and OREO assets and is not transferable should the Company choose to dispose of them. Fair value was estimated using projected cash flows available for loss sharing based on the credit adjustments estimated for each loan pool and OREO and the loss sharing percentages outlined in the shared-loss agreements. These cash flows were discounted to reflect the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the loss sharing reimbursement from the FDIC.

Because the acquired loans are subject to shared-loss agreements and a corresponding indemnification asset exists to represent the value of expected payments from the FDIC, increases and decreases in loan accretable yield due to changing loss expectations will also have an impact to the valuation of the FDIC indemnification asset. Improvement in loss expectations will typically increase loan accretable yield and decrease the value of the FDIC indemnification asset and, in some instances, result in an amortizable premium on the FDIC indemnification asset. Increases in loss expectations will typically be recognized as impairment in the current period through allowance for loan losses while resulting in additional noninterest income for the amount of the increase in the FDIC indemnification asset.

Other Intangible Assets

The Company is accounting for other intangible assets in accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Others. Under FASB ASC 350, acquired intangible assets (such as core deposit intangibles) are separately recognized if the benefit of the assets can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, and amortized over their useful lives The costs of purchased deposit relationships and other intangible assets, based on independent valuation by a qualified third party, are being amortized over their estimated lives. The core deposit intangible is evaluated for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 350.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of income. Under FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In management’s opinion, based on a three year taxable income projection, tax strategies which would result in potential securities gains and the effects of off-setting deferred tax liabilities, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U. S. federal income tax as well as various state income taxes. All years from 2010 through 2013 are open to examination by the respective tax authorities.

Other Real Estate Owned

Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure is held for sale and is initially recorded at the fair value at the date of foreclosure net of estimated disposal costs, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other operating expenses. Costs to bring a property to salable condition are capitalized up to the fair value of the property while costs to maintain a property in salable condition are expensed as incurred.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Net income was $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared with $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2013. Net income available to common shareholders was $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared with $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2013. Net income for the third quarter of 2014 versus the third quarter of 2013 reflected an increase of $31,000, or 1.7%. Earnings per common share, basic and fully diluted, were $0.08 per share for the third quarter of 2014 compared with $0.07 per share for the third quarter of 2013.

Net income was $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared with $4.7 million for the first nine months of 2013. The $544,000, or 11.5%, improvement year over year was primarily driven by an $828,000 reduction in noninterest expenses, attributed mainly to declines in OREO expense, data processing fees, amortization of intangibles, and FDIC indemnification asset amortization. Net income available to common shareholders was $5.0 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared with $3.9 million in the first nine months of 2013, an increase of 29.4%. Earnings per common share, basic and fully diluted, were $0.23 per share and $0.18 per share for the respective time frames.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s operating results depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, including securities and loans, and interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities, including deposits and other borrowed funds. Net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, referred to as a “volume change.” It is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest earning assets and rates paid on interest bearing deposits and other borrowed funds, referred to as a “rate change.”

Net interest income declined $540,000, or 4.7%, from the third quarter of 2013 to the third quarter of 2014. Interest income declined $506,000, or 3.8%, over this time period. The most significant decline was evidenced in the FDIC covered portfolio. Cash payments on loans related to pools that had previously been written down to a zero carrying value equaled $887,000 in the third quarter of 2013. Cash payments in the third quarter of 2014 were $221,000, representing a $666,000, or 75.1%, swing from the second quarter. Correspondingly, the yield on the covered loan portfolio fell from 18.11% for the third quarter of 2013 to 15.00% in the third quarter of 2014. While this loss in cash income was noteworthy and resulted in a decline in loan yields and the net interest margin, it was partially offset by the increase in non-covered loan income. Non-covered loan interest income increased $612,000, or 8.1%, when comparing the third quarter of 2014 with the third quarter of 2013. This increase was the direct result of robust loan growth noted during the second and third quarters of 2014. Interest income on non-covered loans and securities increased 6.10%, or $587,000, from the third quarter of 2013 to the same period in 2014 and is indicative of the influence of higher average loan balances.

Interest expense increased a modest $34,000, or 2.0%, when comparing the third quarter of 2014 and the third quarter of 2013. Interest expense on deposits declined $64,000, or 4.1%, while interest expense on other borrowings increased $97,000. The average balances on deposits declined $26.7 million year over year, which was primarily the result of the sale of four branches in Georgia. Meanwhile, the Company increased its level of FHLB borrowings to fund the sale. Over the same time frame, average FHLB advances increased $30.2 million, yet the expense associated with the borrowings declined $10,000. Lower advance rates more than offset the increased volume as the cost of these borrowings improved 49 basis points over this time frame. This increase is solely due to the interest related to the loan that the Company closed in the second quarter of 2014 for which the proceeds were used to pay off TARP. The interest on the loan equalled $107,000 for the third quarter of 2014, which approximates 56% of the expense of a TARP dividend, on an after tax basis. In the upcoming quarters the Company will seek to replace brokered deposits with retail deposits as part of the strategic initiative to add to or improve the retail network.

The tax equivalent net interest margin declined 27 basis points from 4.55% in the third quarter of 2013 to 4.28% in the third quarter of 2014. Likewise, the interest spread decreased from 4.49% to 4.22% over the same time period. The decline in the margin was precipitated by the reduction in cash basis covered income which drove overall loan yields down 60 basis points.

Net interest income declined $445,000, or 1.4%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the first nine months of 2014. An $829,000 decline in interest income more than offset a decline of $384,000 in interest expense over this time period. Interest and fees on non-covered loans were $22.5 million compared with $22.6 million for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Despite a $30.6 million increase in average non-covered loan balances, the yield earned on these balances declined 29 basis points to 4.88% at September 30, 2014. Interest and fees on FDIC covered loans declined $272,000 when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the same period in 2013. Cash payments on loans related to pools that were written down to a zero carrying value equaled $1.3 million during the first nine months of 2014 compared to cash payments of $991,000 for the same period in 2013. Interest income on securities was $5.8 million for the first nine months of 2014 compared with $6.2 million for the same period in 2013, a decrease of $388,000. Average balances on securities were $17.6 million lower in the third quarter of 2014 compared with the third quarter of 2013 as loan growth was robust, and the tax equivalent yield on the portfolio remained relatively unchanged at 2.74%. Volume increases in non-covered loans, noted above, should have a positive impact on net interest income in future quarters.

The following tables set forth, for each category of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the average amounts outstanding, the interest earned or paid on such amounts, and the average rate earned or paid for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The tables also set forth the average rate paid on total interest bearing liabilities, and the net interest margin on average total interest earning assets for the same periods. Except as indicated in the footnotes, no tax equivalent adjustments were made and all average balances are daily average balances. Any nonaccruing loans have been included in the table, as loans carrying a zero yield.

Provision for Loan Losses

Management actively monitors the Company’s asset quality and provides specific loss provisions when necessary. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management of the Company based on such factors as historical credit loss experience, industry diversification of the commercial loan portfolio, the amount of nonperforming loans and related collateral, the volume growth and composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay and the value of collateral, the evaluation of the loan portfolio through the internal loan review function and other relevant factors. See Allowance for Loan Losses on Non-covered Loans in the Critical Accounting Policies section above for further discussion.

Loans are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses when appropriate. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the provision for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.

Management also actively monitors its covered and PCI loan portfolios for impairment and necessary loan loss provisions. Provisions for these loans may be necessary due to a change in expected cash flows or an increase in expected losses within a pool of loans.

The Company did not record a provision for loan losses in either the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 or 2013 with respect to either its non-covered loan portfolio or its FDIC covered loan portfolio. For the non-covered loan portfolio, this was the direct result of continued improvement in loan quality. The Company’s level of classified and “impaired” loans continues to remain low.

There were net charge-offs of $392,000 in the third quarter of 2014 compared with net charge-offs of $870,000 in the third quarter of 2013. Total charge-offs for the third quarter of 2014 were $603,000 compared with $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2013. Recoveries of previously charged-off loans were $211,000 for the third quarter of 2014 compared with $148,000 in the third quarter of 2013.

There were net charge-offs of $680,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared with $2.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Total charge-offs for the first nine months of 2014 were $1.2 million compared with $3.2 million for the same period in 2013. Recoveries were $520,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared with $961,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $573,000, or 96.6%, from the third quarter of 2013 to the third quarter of 2014. The primary reason for the increase in noninterest income during the third quarter of 2014 versus the prior year was the loss of $614,000 on the sale of a loan in the third quarter of 2013. Otherwise, service charge income declined $157,000, or 21.2%, over the same time frame to equal $584,000 for the third quarter of 2014. This decline was driven by the elimination of service charge income from the former Georgia branches. Securities gains in the third quarter of 2013 were $38,000 versus $115,000 for the third quarter of 2014, an increase of 202.6%. Other operating income declined slightly by $33,000, or 14.4%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2014. The major reason for this decline was a one-time $60,000 insurance benefit received in the third quarter of 2013.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, noninterest income totaled $3.4 million, an $180,000, or 5.5%, increase from the first nine months of 2013. Gains on the sales of loans were the single largest impetus for the increase. Loan sale gains increased $767,000 from the first nine months of 2013 to the first nine months of 2014. Management has selectively sold USDA loans to mitigate accelerated premium amortization, due to early payoff of loans held above par value. The Company also incurred a $614,000 loss on the sale of a non-USDA loan in the third quarter of 2013. This change year over year, more than offset a $471,000 reduction in service charge income as well as a $195,000 reduction in other operating income. The loss of service fee income was due to the sale of the Georgia branches. The reduction in other income was evidenced in a decline in mortgage income coupled with the one-time insurance benefit in the third quarter of 2013. The retail network strategy to add or improve locations should be of benefit to noninterest income in coming quarters through sources such as increased service charges and mortgage income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expenses increased a modest $105,000, or 1.1%, when comparing the third quarter of 2013 to the same period in 2014. The two largest increases in noninterest expenses noted during this time frame were evidenced in OREO expenses and other operating expenses. OREO expenses equaled $392,000 for the third quarter of 2014, increasing $425,000 from the same quarter in the prior year. The increase was the direct result of a $463,000 write-down on one OREO property during the third quarter. Other operating expenses increased $274,000, or 20.5%, over the same time frame. Advertising expense and bank franchise tax increased $103,000 and $71,000, respectively. These expenses collectively resulted in the majority of the increase in other operating expenses and were partially mitigated by improvement in FDIC indemnification asset amortization, data processing fees, and intangible amortization. The Company benefitted from a $277,000, or 16.1%, decline in the indemnification asset amortization from the third quarter of 2013 to the third quarter of 2014. Data processing fees declined $130,000, or 26.8%, and intangible amortization improved $88,000, or 15.6%, over this time frame. The latter two savings were influenced heavily by the sale of the Georgia branches in the last quarter of 2013.

Noninterest expenses declined $828,000, or 2.9%, when comparing the first nine months of 2013 and 2014. The majority of the decline was evidenced in four categories: OREO expenses, data processing fees, amortization of intangibles, and FDIC indemnification asset amortization. OREO expenses declined $431,000, or 35.7%, during the first nine months of 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 despite the large write-down in the third quarter of this year. Data processing fees were $261,000 lower in the first nine months of 2014 compared with the same period in 2013, and intangible amortization was $265,000, or 15.6%, lower over the same time frame. These expense reductions were due in part to the sale of the Georgia branches. Lastly, the Company benefitted from a decrease of $394,000, or 8.2%, in indemnification asset amortization for the first nine months of 2014 versus the first nine months of 2013. Other operating expenses offset these expense improvements and were $4.4 million for the first nine months of 2014 compared with $3.8 million for the same period in 2013.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $697,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared with income tax expense of $800,000 for the third quarter of 2013. Income tax expense was $2.1 million and $2.0 million for the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

General

During the first nine months of 2014, total assets increased $39.3 million, or 3.6%, to $1.129 billion at September 30, 2014. Total loans were $708.6 million at September 30, 2014, increasing $39.1 million since December 31, 2013. Total non-covered loans were $644.2 million at September 30, 2014 and $596.2 million at December 31, 2013, increasing $48.1 million, or 8.1%.

The September 30, 2014 total of non-covered loans includes $4.9 million of loans formerly categorized under the FDIC loss share arrangement, which are now categorized as non-covered loans (the “PCI loans”). While these loans no longer have FDIC loss guaranties, they are subject to SOP 03-3 accounting rules; thus, they will not receive consideration under the allowance for loan losses under the normal non-covered portfolio. Excluding the $4.9 million mentioned above, non-covered loans would have increased $43.2 million, or 7.2%, since December 31, 2013.

The majority of the loan growth has been in the commercial real estate and residential real estate categories. Commercial real estate loans grew $35.0 million, or 14.2%, while residential real estate loans grew $18.2 million, or 12.6%, since year end.

The Company’s securities portfolio, excluding equity securities, increased $10.3 million, or 3.5%, from $294.3 million at December 31, 2013 to $304.7 million at September 30, 2014. Realized gains of $494,000 occurred during the first nine months of 2014 through sales and call activity. During the third quarter of 2014, management purchased longer term, high quality tax-exempt municipal securities, which resulted in the growth noted above. The purchases, primarily designated as held-to-maturity, offered an opportunity to obtain attractive yields without being booked at fair value on a quarterly basis. Third quarter 2014 tax-exempt municipal purchases were booked at a tax-equivalent yield of 4.40%.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18.5 million and $23.8 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Federal funds purchased at September 30, 2014 aggregated $3.3 million compared with zero at December 31, 2013, and there were no securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repos) at September 30, 2014, versus $6.0 million in repos at December 31, 2013.

The Company is required to account for the effect of market changes in the value of securities available-for-sale (AFS) under FASB ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. The market value of the AFS portfolio was $258.2 million at September 30, 2014 and $265.8 million at December 31, 2013. At September 30, 2014, the Company had a net unrealized gain on the AFS portfolio of $92,000 compared with a net unrealized loss of $6.0 million at December 31, 2013. This increase is attributed to a $6.2 million increase in the municipal category. These securities exhibit more price volatility in a changing interest rate environment, in the Company’s portfolio, because of their longer weighted average life, than other categories contained within the rest of the portfolio. Municipal securities comprise 53% of the total AFS portfolio at September 30, 2014.

Interest bearing deposits at September 30, 2014 were $840.2 million, an increase of $18.0 million from December 31, 2013. NOW, MMDA and Savings account balances increased $2.7 million, $3.5 million, and $2.5 million, respectively, since December 31, 2013. Time deposit account balances increased $9.2 million, or 1.7%, during the first nine months of 2014. Brokered time deposits declined $18.6 million, or 17.7%, since year end as management allowed brokered time deposits to mature as needed. Brokered funding was used, in part, to fund the sale of the Georgia branches, and the corresponding generation of retail deposits was precipitated by several promotions management ran during the first nine months 2014. This was a strategic initiative to retain core retail funding while not increasing interest expense substantively.

FHLB advances were $81.6 million at September 30, 2014, compared with $77.1 million at December 31, 2013. The Company increased the level of FHLB advances due to the low cost nature of this funding source and to assist with funding the sale of the Georgia franchise in the fourth quarter of 2013. Long term debt totaled $9.7 million at September 30, 2014. This borrowing, initially in the amount of $10.7 million, was obtained in April 2014, and the proceeds were used to redeem the Company’s remaining outstanding TARP preferred stock. The Company made a $1.0 million principal payment during the third quarter.

Shareholders’ equity was $104.5 million at September 30, 2014 and $106.7 million at December 31, 2013. While $11.5 million in equity was redeemed in connection with the repurchase of the TARP preferred stock and the associated warrant, shareholders’ equity declined only $2.1 million, or 2.0%. The offset was solid earnings retention as well as a $4.0 million improvement in other comprehensive income related to the unrealized gains and losses in the investment portfolio.

Asset Quality – non-covered assets, excluding PCI loans

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of the amount appropriate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Non-covered loan quality is continually monitored, and the Company’s management has established an allowance for loan losses that it believes is appropriate for the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Among other factors, management considers the Company’s historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, the value and appropriateness of collateral and guarantors, nonperforming loans and current and anticipated economic conditions. There are additional risks of future loan losses, which cannot be precisely quantified nor attributed to particular loans or classes of loans. Because those risks include general economic trends, as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the allowance for loan losses is an estimate. The allowance is also subject to regulatory examinations and determination as to appropriateness, which may take into account such factors as the methodology used to calculate the allowance and size of the allowance in comparison to peer companies identified by regulatory agencies. See Allowance for Loan Losses on Non-covered Loans in the Critical Accounting Policies section above for further discussion.

The Company maintains a list of non-covered loans that have potential weaknesses and thus may need special attention. This loan list is used to monitor such loans and is used in the determination of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. Non-covered nonperforming assets totaled $15.9 million at September 30, 2014 and net charge-offs were $680,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This compares with nonperforming assets of $18.3 million and net charge-offs of $2.5 million at and for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Nonperforming non-covered loans were $9.7 million at September 30, 2014, declining from $12.1 million at December 31, 2013. The $2.4 million reduction in nonperforming loans since December 31, 2013 was the net result of $3.0 million in additions to nonperforming loans and $5.4 million in reductions. With respect to the reductions to nonperforming loans, $1.2 million were returned to accruing status, $1.1 million were charged off, $1.1 million were moved to OREO, and $2.0 million were the result of payments to existing credits.

The allowance for loan losses equaled 102.98% of non-covered nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2014 compared with 86.28% at December 31, 2013. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming assets was 62.03% at September 30, 2014, compared with 56.92% at December 31, 2013. The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and OREO continued to decline. The ratio was 2.46% at September 30, 2014 versus 3.05% at December 31, 2013.

In accordance with GAAP, an individual loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company considers all troubled debt restructured and nonaccrual loans to be impaired loans. In addition, the Company reviews all substandard and doubtful loans that are not on nonaccrual status, as well as loans with other risk characteristics, pursuant to and specifically for compliance with the accounting definition of impairment as described above. These impaired loans have been determined through analysis, appraisals, or other methods used by management.

See Note 3 to the Company’s financial statements for information related to the allowance for loan losses. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, total impaired non-covered loans equaled $9.9 million and $13.8 million, respectively.

The following table sets forth selected asset quality data, excluding FDIC covered assets and PCI loans, and ratios for the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

The Company performs troubled debt restructures (TDR) and other various loan workouts whereby an existing loan may be restructured into multiple new loans. At September 30, 2014, the Company had 16 loans that met the definition of a TDR, which are loans that for reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties have been restructured on terms and conditions that would otherwise not be offered or granted. Three of these loans were restructured using multiple new loans. The aggregated outstanding principal of TDR loans at September 30, 2014 was $6.9 million, of which $738,000 were classified as nonaccrual.

The primary benefit of the restructured multiple loan workout strategy is to maximize the potential return by restructuring the loan into a “good loan” (the A loan) and a “bad loan” (the B loan). The impact on interest is positive because the Bank is collecting interest on the A loan rather than potentially not collecting interest on the entire original loan structure. The A loan is underwritten pursuant to the Bank’s standard requirements and graded accordingly. The B loan is classified as either “doubtful” or “loss”. An impairment analysis is performed on the B loan and, based on its results, all or a portion of the B note is charged-off or a specific loan loss reserve is established.

The Company does not modify its nonaccrual policies in this arrangement, and the A loan and the B loan stand on their own terms. At inception, this structure meets the definition of a TDR. If the loan is on nonaccrual at the time of restructure, the A loan is held on nonaccrual until six consecutive payments have been received, at which time it may be put back on an accrual status. The B loan is placed on nonaccrual. Under the terms of each loan, the borrower’s payment is contractually due.

A further breakout of nonaccrual loans, excluding covered loans, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is below (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013

Total loans	$	9,481	$	12,105

At September 30, 2014, the Company had eight construction and land development credit relationships in nonaccrual status. The borrowers for all of these relationships are residential land developers. All of the relationships are secured by the real estate to be developed and are in the Company’s central Virginia market. The total amount of the credit exposure outstanding at September 30, 2014 was $4.9 million. These loans have either been charged-down or sufficiently reserved against to equal the current expected realizable value.

There were no charge-offs related to these relationships during the first six months of 2014. The total amount of the allowance for loan losses attributed to all eight relationships was $543,000 at September 30, 2014, or 11.0% of the total credit exposure outstanding. The Company establishes its reserves as described above in Allowance for Loan Losses on Non-covered Loans in the Critical Accounting Policies section. In conjunction with the impairment analysis the Company performs as part of its allowance methodology, the Company ordered appraisals for all loans with balances in excess of $250,000 unless there existed an appraisal that was not older than 12 months. The Company orders an automated valuation for balances between $100,000 and $250,000 and uses a ratio analysis for balances less than $100,000. The Company maintains detailed analysis and other information for its allowance methodology, both for internal purposes and for review by its regulators.

Asset Quality – covered assets and PCI loans

Loans accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30 are generally considered accruing and performing loans as the loans accrete interest income over the estimated life of the loan. Accordingly, acquired impaired loans that are contractually past due are still considered to be accruing and performing loans.

The Company makes an estimate of the total cash flows that it expects to collect from a pool of covered loans, which include undiscounted expected principal and interest. Over the life of the loan or pool, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. Subsequent decreases in cash flows expected to be collected over the life of the pool are recognized as impairment in the current period through the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent increases in expected cash flows are first used to reverse any existing valuation allowance for that loan or pool. Any remaining increase in cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an adjustment to the yield over the remaining life of the pool.

Capital Requirements

The determination of capital adequacy depends upon a number of factors, such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings, growth trends and economic conditions. The Company seeks to maintain a strong capital base exceeding regulatory minimums for well capitalized institutions to support its growth and expansion plans, provide stability to current operations and promote public confidence in the Company.

The federal banking regulators have defined three tests for assessing the capital strength and adequacy of banks, based on two definitions of capital. “Tier 1 capital” is defined as common equity, retained earnings and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, less certain intangibles. “Tier 2 capital” is defined as specific subordinated debt, some hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying preferred stock and a limited amount of the loan loss allowance. “Total capital” is defined as tier 1 capital plus tier 2 capital. Three risk-based capital ratios are computed using the above capital definitions, total assets and risk-weighted assets and are measured against regulatory minimums to ascertain adequacy. All assets and off-balance sheet risk items are grouped into categories according to degree of risk and assigned a risk-weighting and the resulting total is risk-weighted assets. “Tier 1 risk-based capital” is tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets. “Total risk-based capital” is total capital divided by risk-weighted assets. The leverage ratio is tier 1 capital divided by total average assets.

The Company’s ratio of total risk-based capital was 14.7% at September 30, 2014 compared with 16.8% at December 31, 2013. The tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.5% at September 30, 2014 and 15.6% at December 31, 2013. The Company’s tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.3% at September 30, 2014 and 9.5% at December 31, 2013. All capital ratios exceed regulatory minimums to be considered well capitalized. The decline in the ratios is primarily from the repayment of the TARP.

The Company issued shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the United States Department of the Treasury in connection with the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program in December 2008. During 2013, the Company repurchased 7,000 shares of the original 17,680 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company funded the repurchases through the earnings of its banking subsidiary.

On June 4, 2014, the Company paid the Treasury $780,000 to repurchase the warrant associated with the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company had originally issued the warrant, which permitted Treasury to purchase 780,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $3.40, in December 2008. There are no other investments from the Company's participation in TARP that remain outstanding.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold and certain investment securities. As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.

The Company’s results of operations are significantly affected by its ability to manage effectively the interest rate sensitivity and maturity of its interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. A summary of the Company’s liquid assets at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Cash and due from banks	$	8,335		$	10,857
Interest bearing bank deposits		10,160			12,978
Available for sale securities, at fair value, unpledged		217,888			185,278

Total liquid assets	$	236,383		$	209,113

Deposits and other liabilities		1,024,250			982,873
Ratio of liquid assets to deposits and other liabilities		23.08	%		21.28	%

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

A summary of the contract amount of the Company’s exposure to off-balance sheet and balance sheet risk as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, is as follows (dollars in thousands):

	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Commitments with off-balance sheet risk:
Commitments to extend credit	$	78,685	$	72,183
Standby letters of credit		7,459		9,978
Total commitments with off-balance sheet risks	$	86,144	$	82,161

Commitments with balance sheet risk:
Loans held for sale	$	239	$	100
Total commitments with balance sheet risks		239		100
Total commitments	$	86,383	$	82,261

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. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. Those lines of credit may be drawn upon only 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 guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to clients. The Company holds certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, and real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of interest rate risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability management process, which is governed by policies established by its Board of Directors that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board of Directors delegates responsibility for carrying out asset/liability management policies to the Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) of the Bank. In this capacity, ALCO develops guidelines and strategies that govern the Company’s asset/liability management related activities, based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends.

Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with the Company’s financial instruments also change, affecting net interest income, the primary component of the Company’s earnings. ALCO uses the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. While ALCO routinely monitors simulated net interest income sensitivity over various periods, it also employs additional tools to monitor potential longer-term interest rate risk.

The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet. The simulation model is prepared and updated monthly. This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point upward shift and a 200 basis point downward shift in interest rates. A parallel shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed. The following table represents the change to net interest income given interest rate shocks up and down 100 and 200 basis points at September 30, 2014:

	Change in net interest income

At September 30, 2014, the Company’s interest rate risk model indicated that, in a rising rate environment of 200 basis points over a 12 month period, net interest income could decrease by 3.2%. For the same time period, the interest rate risk model indicated that in a declining rate environment of 200 basis points, net interest income could increase by 0.8%. While these percentages are subjective based upon assumptions used within the model, management believes the balance sheet is appropriately balanced with acceptable risk to changes in interest rates.

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate levels such as yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances about the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to factors such as prepayment and refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change, caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes, and other internal and external variables. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that ALCO might take in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and its chief financial officer (“the Certifying Officers”), conducted evaluations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Section 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management of the Company on a timely basis in order to comply with the Company’s disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated under it.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Certifying Officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of it that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
