The tables above provide information about securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve consecutive months and securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for twelve consecutive months or more. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. An impairment is considered to be other-than temporary if the Company (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost, or (3) does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis. Presently, the Company does not intend to sell any of these securities, will not be required to sell these securities, and expects to recover the entire amortized cost of all the securities.

During the first six months of 2009, one obligation of state and political subdivisions experienced a rating downgrade and three obligations of state and political subdivisions were no longer receiving ratings by Moody’s or S&P. This was the direct result of downgrades of the insurers of these bonds. The bond that was downgraded was still considered investment grade. For the three obligations of state and political subdivisions that are no longer rated, the Company evaluates the financial condition of the state and political subdivision on a quarterly basis. At June 30, 2009, there were five U.S. agency and mortgage-backed securities and twenty-three obligations of state and political subdivisions in an unrealized loss position. One hundred percent of the Company’s investment portfolio that is rated is considered investment grade. The weighted-average re-pricing term of the portfolio was 3.7 years at June 30, 2009.

Note 7. Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Securities

On June 8, 2004, First National (VA) Statutory Trust II (Trust II), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable capital securities, commonly known as trust preferred securities. On June 17, 2004, $5.0 million of trust preferred securities were issued through a pooled underwriting. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of interest. The interest rate at June 30, 2009 was 3.21%. The securities have a mandatory redemption date of June 17, 2034, and were subject to varying call provisions beginning June 17, 2009. The principal asset of Trust II is $5.2 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with maturities and interest rates comparable to the trust preferred securities. The Trust’s obligations under the trust preferred securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.

On July 24, 2006, First National (VA) Statutory Trust III (Trust III), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable capital securities. On July 31, 2006, $4.0 million of trust preferred securities were issued through a pooled underwriting. The securities have a fixed rate of interest of 7.26% until July 31, 2011. The securities then have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of interest. The securities have a mandatory redemption date of October 1, 2036, and are subject to varying call provisions beginning October 1, 2011. The principal asset of Trust III is $4.1 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with maturities and interest rates comparable to the trust preferred securities. The Trust’s obligations under the trust preferred securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.

While these securities are debt obligations of the Company, they are included in capital for regulatory capital ratio calculations. Under present regulations, the trust preferred securities may be included in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy purposes as long as their amount does not exceed 25% of Tier 1 capital, including total trust preferred securities. The portion of the trust preferred securities not considered as Tier 1 capital, if any, may be included in Tier 2 capital. At June 30, 2009, the total amount of trust preferred securities issued by the Trusts was included in the Company’s Tier 1 capital.

Note 8. Benefit Plans

The Bank has a noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan for all full-time employees over 21 years of age with at least one year of credited service. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and average compensation for the five highest-paid consecutive years of service. The Bank’s funding practice has been to make at least the minimum required annual contribution permitted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Components of the net periodic benefit cost of the plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

The Company previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, that it expected to contribute $426 thousand to its pension plan for the 2009 plan year. The Company did not make a contribution to the pension plan for the 2009 plan year during the first six months of 2009. The Company is planning to make the contribution for the 2009 plan year during the fourth quarter of 2009.

In addition to the defined benefit pension plan, the Company maintains a 401(k) plan and an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) for eligible employees. The Bank also maintains a Split Dollar Life Insurance Plan that provides life insurance coverage to insurable directors. See Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for additional information about the Company’s benefit plans.

Note 9. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. There are no potential common shares that would have a dilutive effect. Shares not committed to be released under the Company’s leveraged ESOP are not considered to be outstanding. See Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for additional information about the Company’s leveraged ESOP. The average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share were 2,918,843 and 2,912,172 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively and 2,918,012 and 2,911,323 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Note 10. Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), on January 1, 2008 to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-3 (FSP 157-3) to clarify the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and to provide key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financials statements were not issued.

SFAS 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 based on these two types of inputs are as follows:

 

Level 1 –    Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 –    Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.
Level 3 –    Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:

Securities available for sale

Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that considers observable market data (Level 2).

The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009. Securities identified in Note 2 as restricted securities including stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB), Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and the Community Bankers Bank (CBB) are excluded from the table below since there is no ability to sell these securities except when the FHLB, FRB or CBB require redemption based on either the Company’s borrowings at the FHLB or in the case of the FRB changes in certain portions of the Company’s capital.

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:

Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, the Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale during the year ended June 30, 2009.

Impaired Loans

Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other real estate owned

Loans are transferred to other real estate owned when the collateral securing them is foreclosed on. The measurement of loss associated with other real estate owned is based on the fair value of the collateral compared to the unpaid loan balance and anticipated costs to sell the property. If there is a contract for the sale of a property, and management reasonably believes the contract will be executed, fair value is based on the sale price in that contract (Level 1). Lacking such a contract, the value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. Any fair value adjustments to other real estate owned are recorded in the period incurred and expensed against current earnings.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS 107 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.

SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of 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 basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Loans

For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for all other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits, 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.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values. Fair values of all other borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Commitments and Unfunded Credits

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. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, fair value of loan commitments and standby letters of credit was immaterial.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were as follows:

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 to the Company. 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.

Note 11. Capital Purchase Program

On March 13, 2009, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement—Standard Terms (collectively, the Purchase Agreement) with the Treasury Department, pursuant to which the Company sold (i) 13,900 shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $1.25 per share and liquidation preference $1,000 per share (the Preferred Stock) and (ii) a warrant (the Warrant) to purchase 695 shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the Warrant Preferred Stock), at an exercise price of $1.25 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $13.9 million in cash. The Treasury immediately exercised the Warrant and, after net settlement, received

695 shares of the Company’s Warrant Preferred Stock, which has a liquidation preference amount of $1,000 per share. Closing of the sale occurred on March 13, 2009 and increased Tier 1 and total capital by $13.9 million. The Preferred Stock will pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and thereafter at a rate of 9% per annum. The Warrant Preferred Stock will pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 9% per annum from the date of issuance. The discount on the Preferred Stock is amortized over a five year period using the constant effective yield method.

Note 12. Subsequent Event

On July 10, 2009, the Bank entered into a definitive Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the Agreement) to acquire a branch office from another bank. The Agreement provides that the Bank will assume approximately $15 million in deposits, real estate and select business property. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Bank will pay a premium on the outstanding deposits on the effective date of the transaction, plus the net book value of the loans, and certain other amounts for real and personal property of the branch. The acquisition, subject to regulatory approval and satisfaction of certain other standard conditions, is anticipated to be consummated during the fourth quarter of 2009.

Revenue Sources and Expense Factors

The primary source of revenue is from net interest income earned by the Bank. Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense and typically represents approximately 75% of the Company’s total revenue. Interest income is determined by the amount of interest-earning assets outstanding during the period and the interest rates earned on those assets. The Bank’s interest expense is a function of the amount of interest-bearing liabilities outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid. In addition to net interest income, noninterest income is the other source of revenue for the Company. Noninterest income is derived primarily from service charges on loans and deposits and fees earned from other services. The Bank generates fee income from other services that include trust and investment advisory services and through the origination and sale of residential mortgages.

The provision for loan losses and noninterest expense are the two major expense categories. The provision is determined by factors that include loan growth, asset quality, net charge-offs and economic conditions. Changing economic conditions caused by inflation, recession, unemployment or other factors beyond the Company’s control have a direct correlation with asset quality, net charge-offs and ultimately the required provision for loan losses. The largest component of noninterest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 is salaries and employee benefits, comprising 43% of noninterest expenses, followed by occupancy and equipment expense, comprising 13% of expenses.

Quarterly Performance

Comparative highlights for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

 

   

Provision for other real estate owned was $575 thousand higher

 

   

Provision for loan losses was $405 thousand higher

 

   

FDIC assessment expense was $261 thousand higher

 

   

Noninterest income was $126 thousand lower

 

   

Net interest income was $109 thousand lower

Net income totaled $237 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. After the effective dividend and accretion on preferred stock, net income available to common shareholders was $17 thousand, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.48 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2008. The decrease in second quarter 2009 earnings compared to second quarter 2008 was primarily attributable to $575 thousand in estimated losses that were recognized from declines in the value of other real estate owned, a $405 thousand increase in the provision for loan losses and a $261 thousand increase in FDIC assessment expense primarily from a one-time special assessment totaling $246 thousand. Net interest income decreased 2%, noninterest income decreased 8% and noninterest expense increased 28% when comparing the same periods. Return on assets and return on equity were 0.17% and 1.80%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2009 compared to 1.05% and 14.23% for the same quarter in 2008.

Comparing the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to the quarter ended June 30, 2008, net interest income decreased slightly by 2% to $4.5 million. The net interest margin was 18 basis points lower which was mostly offset by average interest-earning assets that were $13.2 million higher when comparing the two periods. The net interest margin was 3.53% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to 3.71% for the same period in 2008. The decreased margin resulted from reversals of accrued interest on loans placed on non-accrual status during the second quarter combined with the impact of Federal Reserve rate cuts that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2008. These rate cuts compressed the margin as funding costs did not fall at the same pace as yields on earning assets.

Economic conditions, declines in collateral values and specific reserves on impaired loans resulted in a loan loss provision of $489 thousand in second quarter of 2009 compared to $84 thousand for the same period in 2008. Net charge-offs were $23 thousand for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $77 thousand for the same period in 2008. Non-performing assets totaled $20.3 million compared to $15.9 million at December 31, 2008 and $6.9 million at June 30, 2008. The higher levels of non-performing assets were primarily attributable to weaker economic conditions in the market area that have negatively impacted the ability of certain borrowers to service debt. Borrowers that have not been able to meet debt requirements are primarily business customers involved in residential real estate development and retail operations. At June 30, 2009, non-performing assets consisted of $8.6 million related to residential development loans, $7.5 million related to commercial real estate loans, $3.6 million related to residential real estate loans and $470 thousand related to commercial loans not secured by real estate. Management regularly evaluates the loan portfolio, economic conditions and other factors to determine an appropriate allowance for loan losses. As a result of those evaluations, management believes the allowance for loan losses was adequate at June 30, 2009.

 

20


Table of Contents

Noninterest income decreased 8% to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $1.5 million for the same quarter of 2008. The decrease in noninterest income resulted primarily from less overdraft and trust and investment advisory fee income.

Noninterest expense increased 28% to $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $4.0 million for the same quarter of 2008. This increase was primarily attributable to losses totaling $575 thousand resulting from declines in the values of certain foreclosed real estate and a one-time special FDIC assessment totaling $246 thousand.

Year-to-Date Performance

Comparative highlights for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

 

   

Provision for loan losses was $1.3 million higher

 

   

Provision for other real estate owned was $635 thousand higher

 

   

Net interest income was $568 thousand lower

 

   

Noninterest income was $399 thousand lower

 

   

FDIC assessment expense was $338 thousand higher

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net income was $274 thousand. After the effective dividend and accretion on preferred stock, net income available to common shareholders was $10 thousand, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, compared to $2.8 million, or $0.97 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2008. The decrease in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 was primarily attributable to a $1.3 million increase in the provision for loan losses and $635 thousand in estimated losses that were recognized from declines in the value of other real estate owned. Net interest income decreased 6%, noninterest income decreased 13% and noninterest expense increased 20% when comparing the same periods. Return on assets was 0.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 1.05% for the same period in 2008, and return on equity was 1.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 14.45% for the same period in 2008.

Net interest income decreased 6% to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $9.2 million for the same period in 2008. The net interest margin was 28 basis points lower which was partially offset by average interest-earning assets that were $8.7 million higher when comparing the two periods. The net interest margin was 3.45% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 3.73% for the same period in 2008. The decreased margin resulted from reversals of accrued interest on loans placed on non-accrual status during the first half of 2009 combined with the impact of Federal Reserve rate cuts that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2008. These rate cuts compressed the margin as funding costs did not fall at the same pace as yields on earning assets.

Noninterest income decreased 13% to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $3.0 million for the same period in 2008. This decrease was attributable to less overdraft fee income and trust and investment advisory fees.

Noninterest expense increased 20% to $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily the result of estimated losses recognized on foreclosed real estate, higher FDIC assessments and an increase in occupancy expense. Occupancy expense increased from new lease payments on future branch sites and increased depreciation expense from the operations center opened during the second half of 2008.

Economic conditions, declines in collateral values and specific reserves on impaired loans resulted in a loan loss provision of $1.7 million for the first six months of 2009 compared to $354 thousand for the same period in 2008.

Management Outlook

 

   

Significant changes in the size of the balance sheet are not expected

 

   

Net interest margin is expected to remain stable

 

   

Allowance for loan losses is not expected to increase significantly

 

   

Noninterest income is expected to remain stable

 

   

Noninterest expenses could increase from actual or estimated losses on other real estate owned

The Company does not expect significant growth of its balance sheet during the remainder of 2009 based on anticipated economic conditions. It is believed that the contraction of the housing market, rising unemployment rates and other factors have negatively impacted customer deposit balances and loan demand. Based on Company forecasts, the net interest margin is expected to remain stable for the remainder of 2009.

The Company believes has assessed risk within the loan portfolio and has increased the allowance for loan losses accordingly. However, factors including economic conditions and regional collateral values may have a direct correlation with the required provision for loan losses. Unfavorable changes in the factors considered when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, further deterioration of asset quality, and the potential of higher loan charge-offs, could require additional allocations to the provision for loan losses in future periods.

 

21


Table of Contents

For the remainder of 2009, noninterest income and noninterest expenses are generally expected to remain stable. However, the Company could be required to record additional estimated losses on foreclosed real estate in future periods from potential declines in real estate values. The Company will continue to focus efforts on improving profitability, working through problem loans and carefully managing capital.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company measures the net interest margin as an indicator of profitability. The net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax-equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets. Because a portion of interest income earned by the Company is nontaxable, the tax-equivalent net interest income is considered in the calculation of this ratio. Tax-equivalent net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit realized from interest income that is nontaxable to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. The tax rate utilized in calculating the tax benefit for 2009 and 2008 is 34%. The reconciliation of tax-equivalent net interest income, which is not a measurement under GAAP, to net interest income, is reflected in the table below.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

The Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes are prepared in accordance with 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 either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. The Bank uses historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in the loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors used. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another. Although the economics of transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact transactions could change. For further information about the Bank’s loans and the allowance for loan losses, see Notes 3 and 4 to consolidated financial statements, included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Presented below is a discussion of those accounting policies that management believes are the most important (“Critical Accounting Policies”) to the portrayal and understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Critical Accounting Policies require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

 

22


Table of Contents

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such 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. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value (net of selling costs), and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, net of selling costs, if the loan repayment is collateral dependent. The Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

Lending Policies

General

The principal risk associated with each of the categories of loans in the Bank’s portfolio is the creditworthiness of its borrowers. Within each category, such risk is increased or decreased, depending on prevailing economic conditions. The risk associated with real estate mortgage loans and commercial and consumer loans varies, based on economic conditions, fluctuations in the value of real estate and other conditions that affect the ability of borrowers to repay indebtedness. The risk associated with real estate construction loans varies, based on the supply and demand for the type of real estate under construction.

In an effort to manage the risk, the Bank’s loan policy authorizes loan amount approval limits for individual loan officers based on their position within the Bank and level of experience. The Bank’s Board of Directors and its Loan Committee approve all loan relationships greater than $1.5 million. The President and CEO and the Executive Vice President - Loan Administration can combine their lending limits to approve loan relationships up to $1.5 million. All loan relationships greater than $750 thousand are reported to the Board or its Loan Committee. The Loan Committee consists of five non-management directors and the President and CEO. The Committee approves the Bank’s Loan Policy and reviews loans that have been charged-off. It also reviews the allowance for loan loss adequacy calculation as well as the loan watch list and other management reports. The Committee meets on a monthly basis and the Chairman of the Committee then reports to the Board of Directors.

Residential loan originations are primarily generated by Bank loan officer solicitations, referrals by real estate professionals, and customers. Commercial real estate loan originations are obtained through broker referrals, direct solicitation of developers and continued business from customers. All completed loan applications are reviewed by the Bank’s loan officers. As part of the application process, information is obtained concerning the income, financial condition, employment and credit history of the applicant. If commercial real estate is involved, information is also obtained concerning cash flow available for debt service. Loan quality is analyzed based on the Bank’s experience and credit underwriting guidelines as well as the guidelines issued by the purchasers of loans, depending on the type of loan involved. Real estate collateral is appraised by independent fee appraisers who have been pre-approved by the Executive Vice President - Loan Administration.

In the normal course of business, the Bank makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities that are disclosed but not reflected in its financial statements, including commitments to extend credit. At June 30, 2009, commitments to extend credit, stand-by letters of credit and rate lock commitments totaled $51.7 million.

Commercial Business Lending

Commercial business loans generally have a higher degree of risk than loans secured by real estate, but typically have higher yields. Commercial business loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from cash flow from its business and are secured by business assets, such as accounts receivable, equipment and inventory. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans is substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Furthermore, the collateral for commercial business loans may depreciate over time and generally cannot be appraised with as much precision as real estate. To manage these risks, the Bank generally obtains appropriate collateral

and personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners and monitors the financial condition of its business borrowers. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, commercial loans not secured by real estate totaled $52.7 million or 12% of total loans and $53.2 million, or 12% of total loans, respectively.

Commercial Real Estate Lending

Commercial real estate loans are secured by various types of commercial real estate typically in the Bank’s market area, including multi-family residential buildings, commercial buildings and offices, hotels, small shopping centers, farms and churches. At June 30, 2009, commercial real estate loans totaled $198.8 million or 45% of the Bank’s total loans, as compared to $197.9 million, or 44%, at December 31, 2008. In its underwriting of commercial real estate, the Bank may lend, under federal regulation, up to 85% of the secured property’s appraised value, although the Bank’s loan to original appraised value ratio on such properties is typically 80% or less. The valuation of commercial real estate collateral is provided by independent fee appraisers who have been approved by the Bank’s Executive Vice President-Loan Administration. Commercial real estate lending entails significant additional risk, compared with residential mortgage lending. Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Additionally, the payment experience on loans secured by income producing properties is typically dependent on the successful operation of a business or a real estate project and thus may be subject, to a greater extent, to adverse conditions in the real estate market or in the economy, in general. The Bank’s commercial real estate loan underwriting criteria require an examination of debt service coverage ratios and the borrower’s creditworthiness, prior credit history and reputation. The Bank typically requires personal guarantees of the borrowers’ principal owners and carefully evaluates the location and environmental condition of the real estate collateral. To further mitigate risk, the Company monitors loan concentrations within the commercial real estate portfolio.

Construction Lending

The Bank makes local construction loans, including residential and land acquisition and development loans. These loans are secured by the property under construction and the underlying land for which the loan was obtained. Construction and land development loans outstanding at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, were $57.1 million, or 13% of total loans, and $63.7 million, or 14% of total loans, respectively. The majority of these loans has an average life of approximately one year and re-price monthly as key rates change. Construction lending entails significant additional risks, compared with residential mortgage lending. Construction loans often involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Another risk involved in construction lending is attributable to the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the security of the land or property under construction, which value is estimated prior to the completion of construction. Thus, it is more difficult to evaluate accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project and related loan-to-value ratios. To mitigate the risks associated with construction lending, the Bank generally limits loan amounts to 80% of appraised value, in addition to analyzing the creditworthiness of its borrowers. The Bank typically obtains a first lien on the property as security for its construction loans, requires personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners, and monitors the progress of the construction project during the draw period.

Residential Real Estate Lending

Residential lending activity may be generated by Bank loan officer solicitations, referrals by real estate professionals, and existing or new bank customers. Loan applications are taken by a Bank loan officer. As part of the application process, information is gathered concerning income, employment and credit history of the applicant. Residential mortgage loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from employment and other income and are secured by real estate whose value tends to be readily ascertainable. In addition to the Bank’s underwriting standards, loan quality may be analyzed based on guidelines issued by a secondary market investor. The valuation of residential collateral is provided by independent fee appraisers who have been approved by the Bank’s Executive Vice President-Loan Administration. Typically, the Bank originates all fixed rate mortgage loans with the intent to sell to correspondent lenders. Depending on the financial goals of the Company, the Bank occasionally originates and retains these loans. At June 30, 2009, $118.9 million, or 27%, of total loans consisted of residential real estate loans as compared to $116.8 million, or 26%, at December 31, 2008.

In connection with residential real estate loans, the Bank requires title insurance, hazard insurance and, if required, flood insurance. Flood determination letters with life of loan tracking are obtained on all federally related transactions with improvements serving as security for the transaction. The Bank does require escrows for real estate taxes and insurance for secondary market loans.

The Company does not participate in sub-prime lending practices so issues recently arising in the residential mortgage market from sub-prime lending are not expected to have a direct impact on earnings. Nevertheless, the Company is subject to risks associated with general economic and business conditions in its market area, as well as the condition of the regional residential mortgage market, each of which has been impacted by sub-prime lending and related issues.

Consumer Lending

The Bank offers various secured and unsecured consumer loans, including unsecured personal loans and lines of credit, automobile loans, deposit account loans and installment and demand loans. At June 30, 2009, consumer loans, including deposit overdraft balances, were $14.2 million, or 3% of gross loans, as compared to $16.2 million, or 4% of gross loans, at December 31, 2008.

Consumer loans may entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured, such as lines of credit, or secured by rapidly depreciable assets such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

The underwriting standards employed by the Bank for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and an assessment of ability to meet existing obligations and payments on a proposed loan. The stability of the applicant’s monthly income may be determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary employment, and additionally from any verifiable secondary income. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes an analysis of the value of the collateral in relation to the proposed loan amount.

Results of Operations

General

Net interest income represents the primary source of earnings for the Company. Net interest income equals the amount by which interest income on interest-earning assets, predominantly loans and securities, exceeds interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, including deposits, other borrowings and trust preferred securities. Changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as their respective yields and rates, are the components that impact the level of net interest income. The net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax-equivalent net interest income by average earning assets. The provision for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense are the other components that determine net income. Noninterest income and expense primarily consists of income from service charges on deposit accounts; fees charged for other customer services, including trust and investment advisory services; gains and losses from the sale of assets, including loans held for sale, securities and premises and equipment; general and administrative expenses; and income tax expense.

Net income totaled $237 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. After the effective dividend on preferred stock, net income available to common shareholders was $17 thousand, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.48 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2008. The decrease in second quarter 2009 earnings compared to second quarter 2008 was primarily attributable to $575 thousand in losses from declines in the value of certain foreclosed real estate, a $405 thousand increase in the provision for loan losses and a one-time special assessment by the FDIC totaling $246 thousand. Net interest income decreased 2%, noninterest income decreased 8% and noninterest expense increased 28% when comparing the same periods. Return on assets and return on equity were 0.17% and 1.80%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2009 compared to 1.05% and 14.23% for the same quarter in 2008.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net income totaled $274 thousand. After the effective dividend and accretion on preferred stock, net income available to common shareholders was $10 thousand, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share compared to $2.8 million, or $0.97 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2008. The decline in earnings was the result of a $1.3 million increase in the provision for loan losses, a 6% decrease in net interest income, a 13% decrease in noninterest income and a 20% increase in noninterest expense. Return on assets was 0.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 1.05% for the same period in 2008, and return on equity was 1.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 14.45% for the same period in 2008.

Net Interest Income

Comparing the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to the same quarter in 2008, net interest income decreased slightly by 2% as a result of an 18 basis point decrease in the net interest margin which was mostly offset by a $13.2 million increase in average interest-earning assets. The net interest margin was 3.53% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to 3.71% for the same period in 2008. The decline in the net interest margin resulted from reversals of accrued interest on loans placed on non-accrual status during the second quarter of 2009 combined with the impact of Federal Reserve rate cuts that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2008. These rate cuts compressed the margin as funding costs did not fall at the same pace as earning asset yields.

Net interest income decreased 6% to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $9.2 million for the same period in 2008. The net interest margin was 28 basis points lower which was partially offset by average interest-earning assets that were $8.7 million higher when comparing the two periods. The decreased margin resulted from reversals of accrued interest on loans placed on non-accrual status during the first six months of 2009 combined with the impact of Federal Reserve rate cuts that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2008. These rate cuts compressed the margin as funding costs did not fall at the same pace as yields on earning assets. The net interest margin was 3.45% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 3.73% for the same period in 2008.

Based on Company forecasts, the net interest margin is expected to remain stable for the remainder of 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses

Economic conditions, declines in collateral values and specific reserves on impaired loans resulted in a loan loss provision of $489 thousand in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $84 thousand for the same period in 2008. The provision for loan losses totaled $1.7 million for the first half of 2009, compared to $354 thousand for the first half of 2008. Net charge-offs were $23 thousand for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $77 thousand for the same period in 2008. For the first six months of 2009, net charge-offs were $283 thousand compared to $81 thousand for the same period in 2008. Non-performing assets totaled $20.3 million compared to $15.9 million at December 31, 2008 and $6.9 million at June 30, 2008. The higher levels of non-performing assets were primarily attributable to weaker economic conditions in the market area that have negatively impacted the ability of certain borrowers to service debt. Borrowers that have not been able to meet debt requirements are primarily business customers involved in residential real estate development and retail business. At June 30, 2009, non-performing assets consisted of $8.6 million related to residential development loans, $7.5 million related to commercial real estate loans, $3.6 million related to residential real estate loans and $470 thousand related to commercial loans not secured by real estate. Management evaluates specific loans, economic conditions and other factors to determine an appropriate allowance for loan losses. As a result of that evaluation, management believes the allowance for loan losses was adequate at June 30, 2009.

The Company believes that it has identified the loans with the highest risk and has increased the allowance for loan losses accordingly during the first six months of 2009. However, factors including economic conditions and regional collateral values may have a direct correlation with the required provision for loan losses. Unfavorable changes in the factors considered when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, further deterioration of asset quality, and the potential of higher charge-offs, could require additional allocations to the provision for loan losses in future periods.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased $126 thousand, or 8%, in the second quarter of 2009 to $1.4 million compared to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2008. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased 11% to $629 thousand for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $708 thousand for the same quarter of 2008. The decrease in service charges resulted primarily from less overdraft fee income. Fee income from trust and investment advisory services decreased 21% to $281 thousand for the second quarter of 2009, compared to $356 thousand for the same period in 2008. This decrease was a result of less fee income from lower average assets under management during the second quarter of 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008.

Noninterest income decreased 13% to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $3.0 million for the same period in 2008. This decrease was attributable to a 16% decrease in service charges on deposit accounts, primarily from less overdraft fee income, and a 14% decrease in trust and investment advisory fee income.

For the remainder of 2009, noninterest income is expected to remain consistent with current quarterly levels, based on forecasts of trust and investment advisory fee income, overdraft fee income and gains on sale of mortgage loans in future periods.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $1.1 million, or 28%, to $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2008. This increase was primarily attributable to estimated losses recognized totaling $575 thousand from declines in estimated values of foreclosed real estate. In addition, noninterest expense was negatively impacted by a one-time special FDIC assessment totaling $246 thousand during the second quarter.

Noninterest expense increased 20% to $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in noninterest expense was the result of estimated losses recognized on foreclosed real estate totaling $635 thousand, a $338 thousand increase in FDIC assessments and a $127 thousand increase in occupancy expense. Occupancy expense increased from new lease payments on future branch sites and increased depreciation expense from the operations center opened during the second half of 2008.

For the remainder of 2009, noninterest expenses are generally expected to remain stable. However, additional estimated losses could be recognized on foreclosed real estate in future periods from potential declines in real estate values. The Company will continue to focus efforts on improving profitability, working through problem loans and carefully managing capital.

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision differed from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The difference was a result of net permanent tax deductions, primarily comprised of tax-exempt interest income. A more detailed discussion of the Company’s tax calculation is contained in Note 9 of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Financial Condition

General

Total assets were $548.0 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $548.2 million at December 31, 2008. The Company’s trust and investment advisory group had assets under management of $174.0 million at June 30, 2009 which was unchanged from December 31, 2008. Assets managed by the trust and investment advisory group are not held on the Company’s balance sheet.

The Company does not expect significant balance sheet growth during the remainder of 2009 based on current and anticipated economic conditions. It is believed that the contraction of the housing market, rising unemployment rates and other factors have negatively impacted customer deposit balances and loan demand.

Loans

The Bank is an active lender with a loan portfolio that includes commercial and residential real estate loans, commercial loans, consumer loans, construction loans and home equity loans. The Bank’s lending activity is concentrated on individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, local governmental and non-profit entities in its market area. As a provider of community-oriented financial services, the Bank does not attempt to diversify its loan portfolio by undertaking significant lending activity outside its market area. Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, were $439.1 million and $446.3 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

The Company has a credit concentration in mortgage loans on real estate. These loans totaled $374.8 million, or 84% of total loans and $378.4 million, or 84% of total loans at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Although the Company believes that its underwriting standards are generally conservative, the ability of its borrowers to meet their mortgage obligations is influenced by local economic conditions. Construction loans totaled $57.1 million and $63.7 million, or 13% and 14% of total loans at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

The Company has a concentration of credit risk within the loan portfolio involving loans secured by hotels. This concentration totaled $44.0 million at June 30, 2009, representing 84% of total shareholders’ equity and 10% of total loans. At December 31, 2008, this concentration totaled $44.8 million representing 114% of total shareholders’ equity and 10% of total loans. These loans are included in other real estate loans in the table found in Note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q. The Company experienced no loan losses related to this concentration of credit risk during the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company analyzes this concentration by performing interest rate and vacancy rate stress tests on a quarterly basis.

Asset Quality

Management classifies as non-performing assets non-accrual loans, restructured loans, repossessed assets and other real estate owned (OREO). OREO represents real property taken by the Bank either through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu thereof from the borrower. OREO is recorded at the lower of cost or market, less estimated selling costs, and is actively marketed by the Bank through brokerage channels. The Bank had $5.2 million in OREO at June 30, 2009 and $4.3 million at December 31, 2008.

Non-performing assets were $20.3 million at June 30, 2009, $15.9 million at December 31, 2008 and $6.9 million at June 30, 2008, representing 3.63%, 3.23% and 1.47% of total assets, respectively. The higher levels of non-performing assets were primarily attributable to weaker economic conditions in the market area that have negatively impacted the ability of certain borrowers to service debt. Borrowers that have not been able to meet debt requirements are primarily business customers involved in residential real estate development and retail operations. At June 30, 2009, non-performing assets consisted of $8.6 million related to residential development loans, $7.5 million related to commercial real estate loans, $3.6 million related to residential real estate loans and $470 thousand related to commercial loans not secured by real estate. The increase in non-performing assets was one of the factors that determined the provision for loan losses during the first six months of 2009. Non-performing assets could increase due to other potential problem loans identified by management totaling $28.8 million at June 30, 2009. Certain risks, including the borrower’s ability to pay and the collateral value securing the loan, have been identified that may result in the potential problem loans not being repaid in accordance with their terms. However, the loans are currently performing and $27.4 million of the potential problem loans are generally considered well-secured.

The provision for loan losses represents management’s analysis of the existing loan portfolio and related credit risks. The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s estimate of the amount required to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses reflective of the risks in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses totaled $7.0 million at June 30, 2009 and $5.7 million at December 31, 2008, representing 1.58% and 1.25% of total loans, respectively.

Impaired loans totaled $13.3 million and $12.0 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. These loans have been recognized in conformity with SFAS No. 114. The related allowance for loan losses provided for these loans totaled $1.5 million and $571 thousand at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008 was $12.3 million and $5.9 million, respectively.

Management believes, based upon its review and analysis, that the Bank has sufficient reserves to cover losses inherent within the loan portfolio. For each period presented, the provision for loan losses charged to expense was based on management’s judgment after taking into consideration all factors connected with the collectability of the existing portfolio. Management considers economic conditions, historical loss factors, past due percentages, internally generated loan quality reports and other relevant factors when evaluating the loan portfolio. There can be no assurance, however, that an additional provision for loan losses will not be required in the future, including as a result of changes in the economic assumptions underlying management’s estimates and judgments, adverse developments in the economy, on a national basis or in the Company’s market area, or changes in the circumstances of particular borrowers. For further discussion regarding the allowance for loan losses, see “Critical Accounting Policies” above.

Securities

Securities at June 30, 2009 were $64.1 million, an increase of $5.9 million, or 10%, from $58.2 million at December 31, 2008. On March 13, 2009, the Company received proceeds from a $13.9 million investment in its preferred stock and during the second quarter of 2009 invested most of the proceeds in securities. Investment securities are comprised of U.S. agency and mortgage-backed securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions, corporate equity securities and certain restricted securities. As of June 30, 2009, neither the Company nor the Bank held any derivative financial instruments in its respective investment security portfolios.

Deposits

Deposits were $461.5 million at June 30, 2009, a $14.0 million, or 3%, increase from $447.5 million at December 31, 2008. Time deposits, which include retail and brokered deposits, increased $11.8 million or 5% during the first six months of 2009 to $245.2 million compared to $233.4 million at December 31, 2008. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $2.0 million or 3% during the first six months of 2009. Savings and interest-bearing demand deposits increased slightly to $140.8 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $140.7 million at December 31, 2008.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents the ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or with borrowings from correspondent banks or other deposit markets. The Company classifies cash, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, investment securities and loans maturing within one year as liquid assets. As a result of the Bank’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Bank maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and to meet its customers’ borrowing needs.

At June 30, 2009, cash, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, loans maturing within one year, and expected maturities, calls and principal repayments from the securities portfolio within one year totaled $172.7 million. At June 30, 2009, 36% or $162.6 million of the loan portfolio would mature within one year. Non-deposit sources of available funds totaled $89.2 million at June 30, 2009, which included $49.2 million available from FHLB. During the first six months of 2009, other borrowing activity included repayment of a fixed rate advance from FHLB in the amount of $10.0 million. The Bank also borrowed and repaid Daily Rate Credit advances as an alternative to purchasing federal funds.

Capital Resources

The adequacy of the Company’s capital is reviewed by management on an ongoing basis with reference to the size, composition, and quality of the Company’s asset and liability levels and consistent with regulatory requirements and industry standards. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and absorb potential losses.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has adopted capital guidelines to supplement the existing definitions of capital for regulatory purposes and to establish minimum capital standards. Specifically, the guidelines categorize assets and off-balance sheet items into four risk-weighted categories. The minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets is 8.00%, of which at least 4.00% must be Tier 1 capital, composed of common equity, retained earnings and a limited amount of perpetual preferred stock, less certain goodwill items. The Company had a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 14.81% at June 30, 2009 and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 13.56%. Both of these exceed the capital requirements adopted by the federal regulatory agencies.

On March 13, 2009, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement—Standard Terms (collectively, the Purchase Agreement) with the Treasury Department, pursuant to which the Company sold (i) 13,900 shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $1.25 per share and liquidation preference $1,000 per share (the Preferred Stock) and (ii) a warrant (the Warrant) to purchase 695 shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the Warrant Preferred Stock), at an exercise price of $1.25 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $13.9 million in cash. The Treasury immediately exercised the Warrant and, after net settlement, received 695 shares of the Company’s Warrant Preferred Stock, which has a liquidation preference amount of $1,000 per share. Closing of the sale occurred on March 13, 2009 and increased Tier 1 and total capital by $13.9 million. The Preferred Stock will pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and thereafter at a rate of 9% per annum. The Warrant Preferred Stock will pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 9% per annum from the date of issuance.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company, through the Bank, is a party to credit related financial instruments with risk not reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Bank follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit, which amounted to $42.4 million at June 30, 2009, and $48.6 million at December 31, 2008, are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are collateralized as deemed necessary and might not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Bank is committed.

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Bank had $5.9 million and $7.1 million in outstanding standby letters of credit, respectively.

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had entered into locked-rate commitments to originate mortgage loans amounting to $3.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The Company had loans held for sale of $805 thousand at June 30, 2009 and none at December 31, 2008. The Company has entered into commitments, on a best-effort basis to sell loans of approximately $4.2 million. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Bank does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies.” FSP FAS 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies SFAS 141(R) to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The FSP is effective for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. The FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 157-4 during the second quarter of 2009 and the results have been applied in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures included herein.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. In addition, the FSP amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The FSP is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 during the second quarter of 2009 and the results have been applied to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures included herein.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amend other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities. The FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 during the second quarter of 2009 and the results have been applied to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures included herein.

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

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company reported a subsequent event in its consolidated financial statements and disclosures included herein. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 165 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS 166 provides guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 must be applied as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 166 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” SFAS 167 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. SFAS 167 will be effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 167 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 168 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 112 (SAB 112). SAB 112 revises or rescinds portions of the interpretative guidance included in the codification of SABs in order to make the interpretive guidance consistent with current U.S. GAAP. The Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 112 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
