Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Access National Corporation (the “Corporation”) is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Corporation has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Access National Bank (the “Bank”), which is an independent commercial bank chartered under federal laws as a national banking association, and Access National Capital Trust II, which was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable capital securities. The Bank has two active subsidiaries, Access Real Estate LLC (“Access Real Estate”) and Access Capital Management Holding LLC (“ACM”).
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments have been made which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments are all of a normal and recurring nature. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2014. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto as of December 31, 2013, included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
The Corporation has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.
NOTE 2 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
During the first six months of 2014, the Corporation granted 121,500 stock options to officers, directors, and employees under the 2009 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). Options granted under the Plan have an exercise price equal to the fair market value as of the grant date. Options granted vest over various periods ranging from two and one-half years to four years and expire one year after the full vesting date. Stock–based compensation expense recognized in other operating expense during the first six months of 2014 and 2013 was $118 thousand and $104 thousand, respectively. The fair value of options is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions noted below.
The total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan as of June 30, 2014 was $571,271. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.41 years.

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES
The following table provides the amortized cost and fair value for the categories of available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost, which reflects historical cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Available-for-sale securities are carried at estimated fair value with net unrealized gains or losses reported on an after tax basis as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. The estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities is impacted by interest rates, credit spreads, market volatility, and liquidity.

The Corporation evaluates securities for other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to various factors in determining whether the Corporation anticipates a recovery in fair value such as: the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, and the financial condition and underlying credit quality of the issuer. When analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Corporation may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, the sector or industry trends affecting the issuer, and whether any recent downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred.

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES (continued)
U.S. Government agencies
The Corporation’s unrealized losses on U.S. Government Agency obligations were caused by interest rate fluctuations. At June 30, 2014, one held-to-maturity security had an unrealized loss of $137 thousand while seven available-for-sale securities had unrealized losses of $770 thousand. The severity and duration of these unrealized losses will fluctuate with interest rates in the economy. As the securities are obligations of government agencies, it is the Corporation’s intent to hold these securities until a market price recovery or maturity, and it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider these investments other than temporarily impaired.
Corporate bonds
The Corporation’s unrealized losses on corporate obligations were caused by interest rate fluctuations. At June 30, 2014, one security had an unrealized loss of $18 thousand. Based on the credit quality of the issuers, the Corporation’s intent to hold this security until a market price recovery or maturity, and the determination that it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider this investment other than temporarily impaired.
Mortgage-backed
The Corporation’s unrealized losses on mortgage backed securities were caused by interest rate fluctuations. At June 30, 2014, twelve securities had unrealized losses of $653 thousand. As these securities are Ginnie Mae and government sponsored entity securities backed by the United States Government, the Corporation’s intent to hold these securities until a market price recovery or maturity, and the determination that it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recoveries, the Corporation does not consider these investments other than temporarily impaired.
Mutual fund
The Corporation’s unrealized loss on its mutual fund investment was caused by interest rate fluctuations. At June 30, 2014, this one security had an unrealized loss of $64 thousand. Based on the credit quality of the issuers, the Corporation’s intent to hold this security until a market price recovery, and the determination that it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell this security before its anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider this investment other than temporarily impaired.
Asset backed securities
The Corporation’s unrealized loss on its asset backed securities was caused by interest rate fluctuations. At June 30, 2014, two securities had unrealized losses of $9 thousand. Based on the credit quality of the issuers, the Corporation’s intent to hold these securities until a market price recovery, and the determination that it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider this investment other than temporarily impaired.
Municipal
The Corporation’s unrealized loss on its held-to-maturity municipal investment was caused by interest rate fluctuations. At June 30, 2014, two securities had unrealized losses of $9 thousand while two held-to-maturity municipal’s had unrealized losses of $15 thousand. Based on the credit quality of the issuers, the Corporation’s intent to hold these securities until a market price recovery, and the determination that it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell these securities before its anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider this investment other than temporarily impaired.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (Repurchase Agreements)
The Corporation enters into agreements under which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. Under these arrangements, the Corporation may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Corporation to repurchase the assets. As a result, these repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing agreements (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability in the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements remain in the respective investment securities asset accounts. In other words, there is no offsetting or netting of the investment securities assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities. In addition, as the Corporation does not enter into reverse repurchase agreements, there is no such offsetting to be done with the repurchase agreements.
The right of setoff for a repurchase agreement resembles a secured borrowing, whereby the collateral would be used to settle the fair value of the repurchase agreement should the Corporation be in default (e.g., fails to make an interest payment to the counterparty). The collateral is held by a third-party financial institution in the Corporation’s custodial account. The Corporation has the right to sell or repledge the investment securities. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the obligations outstanding under these repurchase agreements totaled $20.5 million and $27.9 million, respectively, while the fair value of the securities pledged in connection with these repurchase agreements was $22.0 million and $32.7 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Unearned income and net deferred loan fees and costs totaled $1.5 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Loans pledged to secure borrowings at the FHLB totaled $210.1 million and $226.4 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses totaled $13.2 million at June 30, 2014 compared to $13.1 million at year end December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses was equivalent to 1.78% and 1.91% of total loans held for investment at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013,respectively. Adequacy of the allowance is assessed and the allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to expense no less than quarterly. Charge-offs are taken when a loan is identified as uncollectible.
The methodology by which we systematically determine the amount of our allowance is set forth by the Board of Directors in our Loan Policy and implemented by management. The results of the analysis are documented, reviewed, and approved by the Board of Directors no less than quarterly.
The level of the allowance for loan losses is determined by management through an ongoing, detailed analysis of historical loss rates and risk characteristics. During each quarter, management evaluates the collectability of all loans in the portfolio and ensures an accurate risk rating is assigned to each loan. The risk rating scale and definitions commonly adopted by the Federal Banking Agencies is contained within the framework prescribed by the Bank’s Loan Policy. Any loan that is deemed to have potential or well defined weaknesses that may jeopardize collection in full is then analyzed to ascertain its level of weakness. If appropriate, the loan may be charged-off or a specific reserve may be assigned if the loan is deemed to be impaired.
During the risk rating verification process, each loan identified as inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged is considered impaired and is placed on non-accrual status. On these loans, management analyzes the potential impairment of the individual loan and may set aside a specific reserve. Any amounts deemed uncollectible during that analysis are charged-off.
14 |
NOTE 4 – LOANS AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (continued)
For the remaining loans in each segment, the Bank calculates the probability of loss as a group using the risk rating for each of the following loan types: Commercial Real Estate - Owner Occupied, Commercial Real Estate - Non-Owner Occupied, Residential Real Estate, Commercial, Real Estate Construction, and Consumer. Management calculates the historical loss rate in each group by risk rating using a period of at least five years. This historical loss rate may then be adjusted based on management’s assessment of internal and external environmental factors. While management may consider other factors, the analysis generally includes factors such as unemployment, office vacancy rates, and any concentrations that exist within the portfolio. This adjustment is meant to account for changes between the historical economic environment and current conditions and for changes in the ongoing management of the portfolio which affects the loans’ potential losses.
Once complete, management compares the condition of the portfolio using several different characteristics, as well as its experience, to the experience of other banks in its peer group in order to determine if it is directionally consistent with others’ experience in our area and line of business. Based on that analysis, management aggregates the probabilities of loss of the remaining portfolio based on the specific and general allowances and may provide additional amounts to the allowance for loan losses as needed. Since this process involves estimates, the allowance for loan losses may also contain an amount that is non-material which is not allocated to a specific loan or to a group of loans but is deemed necessary to absorb additional losses in the portfolio.
Management and the Board of Directors subject the reserve adequacy and methodology to a review on a regular basis by internal auditors, external auditors and bank regulators, and such reviews have not resulted in any material adjustment to the allowance.

NOTE 4 – LOANS AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (continued)
Identifying and Classifying Portfolio Risks by Risk Rating
At origination, loans are categorized into risk categories based upon original underwriting. Subsequent to origination, management evaluates the collectability of all loans in the portfolio and assigns a proprietary risk rating. Ratings range from the highest to lowest quality based on factors including measurements of ability to pay, collateral type and value, borrower stability, management experience, and credit enhancements. These ratings are consistent with the bank regulatory rating system.
A loan may have portions of its balance in one rating and other portions in a different rating. The Bank may use these “split ratings” when factors cause loan loss risk to exist for part but not all of the principal balance. Split ratings may also be used where cash collateral or a government agency has provided a guaranty that partially covers a loan.
For clarity of presentation, the Corporation’s loan portfolio is profiled below in accordance with the risk rating framework that has been commonly adopted by the federal banking agencies. The definitions of the various risk rating categories are as follows:
Pass - The condition of the borrower and the performance of the loan is satisfactory or better.
Special mention - A special mention asset has one or more potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard - A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful - An asset classified doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss - Assets classified loss are considered uncollectible and their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, and a partial recovery may be effected in the future.
The Bank did not have any loans classified as loss at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. It is the Bank’s policy to charge-off any loan once the risk rating is classified as loss.

Loans listed as non-performing are also placed on non-accrual status. The accrual of interest is discontinued at the time a loan is 90 days delinquent or when the credit deteriorates and there is doubt that the credit will be paid as agreed, unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Once the loan is on non-accrual status, all accrued but unpaid interest is also charged-off, and all payments are used to reduce the principal balance. Once the principal balance is repaid in full, additional payments are taken into income. A loan may be returned to accrual status if the borrower shows renewed willingness and ability to repay under the term of the loan agreement. The risk profile based upon payment activity is shown below.

Loans are considered past due if a contractual payment is not made by the calendar day after the payment is due. However, for reporting purposes loans past due 1 to 29 days are excluded from loans past due and are included in the total for current loans in the table below. The delinquency status of the loans in the portfolio is shown below as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Loans that were on non-accrual status are not included in any past due amounts.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
A troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") is a formal restructure of a loan when the Bank, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to a borrower. The Bank classifies these transactions as a TDR if the transaction meets the following conditions: an existing credit agreement must be formally renewed, extended and/or modified; the borrower must be experiencing financial difficulty; and the Bank has granted a concession that it would not otherwise consider.
Once identified as a TDR, a loan is considered to be impaired, and an impairment analysis is performed for the loan individually, rather than under a general loss allowance based on the loan type and risk rating. Any resulting shortfall is charged-off. This method is used consistently for all segments of the portfolio.
Normally, loans identified as TDRs would be placed on non-accrual status and considered non-performing until sufficient history of timely collection or payment has occurred that allows them to return to performing status, generally six months.
No loans were modified in connection with a troubled debt restructuring during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
One residential real estate loan totaling $216 thousand was modified in connection with a troubled debt restructuring during the six month period ended June 30, 2013. The modification granted the borrower reduced payments for a period of one year. There were no material financial effects as a direct result of this modification. No loans were modified in connection with a troubled debt restructuring during the three month period ended June 30, 2013.

NOTE 4 – LOANS AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (continued)
Impaired Loans
A loan is classified as impaired when it is deemed probable by management’s analysis that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, or the recorded investment in the impaired loan is greater than the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. In the case of an impaired loan, management conducts an analysis which identifies if a quantifiable potential loss exists, and takes the necessary steps to record that loss when it has been identified as uncollectible.
As the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status with all payment applied to principal under the cost-recovery method. As such, the Bank did not recognize any interest income on its impaired loans for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
The table below shows the results of management’s analysis of impaired loans as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

NOTE 5 – SEGMENT REPORTING
The Corporation has three reportable segments: traditional commercial banking, mortgage banking, and wealth management. Revenues from commercial banking operations consist primarily of interest earned on loans and securities and fees from deposit services. Mortgage banking operating revenues consist principally of interest earned on mortgage loans held for sale, gains on sales of loans in the secondary mortgage market, and loan origination fee income. Wealth management operating revenues consist principally of advisory fees related to its wealth management services.
The commercial banking segment provides the mortgage banking segment with the short-term funds needed to originate mortgage loans through a warehouse line of credit and charges the mortgage banking segment interest based on the prime rate. These transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process.
The “Other” column in the following table includes the operations of the Corporation and Access Real Estate. The primary source of income for the Corporation is derived from dividends from the Bank and its primary expense relates to costs incurred by the Corporation in connection with its annual audits and directors fees. The primary source of income for Access Real Estate is derived from rents received from rents received from the Bank.

NOTE 6 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table shows the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The numerator of both the basic and diluted EPS is equivalent to net income. The weighted average number of shares outstanding used as the denominator for diluted EPS is increased over the denominator used for basic EPS by the effect of potentially dilutive common stock options utilizing the treasury stock method.

NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVES
As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Bank enters into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate loans where the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. The Bank then locks in the loan and interest rate with an investor and commits to deliver the loan if settlement occurs (“best efforts”) or commits to deliver the locked loan in a binding (“mandatory”) delivery program with an investor. Certain loans under interest rate lock commitments are covered under forward sales contracts of mortgage backed securities (“MBS”). Forward sales contracts of MBS are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in noninterest income. Interest rate lock commitments and commitments to deliver loans to investors are considered derivatives. The market value of interest rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not readily ascertainable with precision because they are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. The Bank determines the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and delivery contracts by measuring the fair value of the underlying asset, which is impacted by current interest rates, taking into consideration the probability that the interest rate lock commitments will close or will be funded.
Certain additional risks arise from these forward delivery contracts in that the counterparties to the contracts may not be able to meet the terms of the contracts. The Bank does not expect any counterparty to any MBS to fail to meet its obligation. Additional risks inherent in mandatory delivery programs include the risk that, if the Bank does not close the loans subject to interest rate risk lock commitments, it will still be obligated to deliver MBS to the counterparty under the forward sales agreement. Should this be required, the Bank could incur significant costs in acquiring replacement loans or MBS and such costs could have an adverse effect on mortgage banking operations.
Since the Bank’s derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments, the fair value of the derivatives are recorded as a freestanding asset or liability with the change in value being recognized in current earnings during the period of change. The Bank has not elected to apply hedge accounting to its derivative instruments as provided in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging.
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Bank had derivative financial instruments with a notional value of $16.3 million and $16.0 million, respectively, related to its forward contracts. Derivative financial instruments related to over the counter written options totaled $38.9 million and $22.4 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The net fair value of these derivative instruments at June 30, 2014and December 31, 2013 was $7 thousand and $95 thousand, respectively, and was included in other assets and other liabilities.
Included in other noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was a net gain of $350 thousand and a net loss of $1.0 million, respectively, relating to derivative instruments. The amount included in other noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 pertaining to its hedging activities was a net realized loss of $1.1 million and a net realized gain of $2.9 million, respectively.
NOTE 8 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects”. This ASU applies to all reporting entities that invest in qualified affordable housing projects through limited liability entities that are flow through entities for tax purposes. The amendments in the 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. Those not electing the proportional amortization method would account for the investment using the equity method or cost method. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance should not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 8 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, “Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors”. ASU 2014-04 clarifies when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property during a foreclosure. ASU 2014-04 establishes a loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized upon the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of foreclosure or the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy the loan. The provisions of ASU 2014-04 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance should not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606”. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” as well as most industry-specific guidance. The amendments also create a new Subtopic 340-40 “Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers”. In summary, entities are to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The provisions of ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within 2017. The adoption of this guidance should not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860)” which changes the accounting for repurchase financing arrangements. It also requires additional disclosures about repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. Under this ASU, transactions would all be accounted for as secured borrowings as the guidance eliminates sale accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions. The amendments in the ASU require new disclosures for transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets throughout the transaction term as well as expanded disclosures on the nature of pledged collateral in repurchase agreements. The provisions of ASU 2014-11 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance should not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”. The amendments in this ASU require a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award, and compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments in the ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance should not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE
Fair value pursuant to FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, is the exchange price, in an orderly
transaction that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale, between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability, that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability is a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or liability. FASB ASC 820-
10 provides a consistent definition of fair value which focuses on exit price and prioritizes, within a measurement of fair value, the use of market-based inputs over entity specific inputs. In addition, FASB ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
25 |
NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE (continued)
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Corporation used the following methods to determine the fair value of each type of financial instrument:
Securities: Fair values for securities available-for-sale are obtained from an independent pricing service. The prices are not adjusted. The independent pricing service uses industry-standard models to price U.S. Government agency obligations and mortgage backed securities that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, volatility factors, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Securities of obligations of state and political subdivisions are valued using a type of matrix, or grid, pricing in which securities are benchmarked against the treasury rate based on credit rating.
Substantially all assumptions used by the independent pricing service are observable in the marketplace, can be derived from
observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace (Level 2).
Residential loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan (Level 2).
Derivative financial instruments: Derivative instruments are used to hedge residential mortgage loans held for sale and the related interest-rate lock commitments and include forward commitments to sell mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities as further described in Note 7. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on derivative market data inputs as of the valuation date and the underlying value of mortgage loans for interest rate lock commitments (Level 3).
Impaired loans: The fair values of impaired loans are measured on a nonrecurring basis as the fair value of the loan’s collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The use of discounted cash flow models and management’s best judgment are significant inputs in arriving at the fair value measure of the underlying collateral (Level 3).
Other real estate owned: The fair value of other real estate owned, which consists of real estate that has been foreclosed, is recorded at the lower of fair value less selling expenses or the book balance prior to foreclosure. Write downs are provided for subsequent declines in value and are recorded in other operating expenses (Level 2).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value under FASB ASC 820-10 on a recurring and non-recurring basis, including financial assets and liabilities for which the Corporation has elected the fair value option as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, are summarized below:

Financial instruments recorded using FASB ASC 825-10
Under FASB ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, the Corporation may elect to report most financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in net income. After the initial adoption the election is made at the acquisition of an eligible financial asset, financial liability or firm commitment or when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election, with respect to an item, may not be revoked once an election is made.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE (Continued)
The following table reflects the differences between the fair value carrying amount of residential mortgage loans held for sale at June 30, 2014, measured at fair value under FASB ASC 825-10, and the aggregate unpaid principal amount the Corporation is contractually entitled to receive at maturity.
(In Thousands) | Aggregate Fair Value | Difference | Contractual Principal | |||||||||
Residential mortgage loans held for sale | $ | 51,001 | $ | 2,053 | $ | 48,948 |
The Corporation has elected to account for residential loans held for sale at fair value to eliminate the mismatch that would occur by recording changes in market value on derivative instruments used to hedge loans held for sale while carrying the loans at the lower of cost or market.
The following methods and assumptions not previously presented were used in estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis:
Cash and Short-Term Investments
For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. As such they are classified as Level 1 for noninterest-bearing deposits and Level 2 for interest-bearing deposits due from banks or federal funds sold.
Restricted Stock
It is not practical to determine the fair value of restricted stock due to the restrictions placed on its transferability.
Loans, Net of Allowance
For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some residential mortgages, and other consumer loans, fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices for securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics resulting in a Level 3 classification. The fair value of other types of 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 resulting in a Level 3 classification.
Accrued Interest
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 or Level 3 classification depending upon the level of the asset or liability, with which, the accrual is associated.
Deposits and Borrowings
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date resulting in a Level 1 classification. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities also resulting in a Level 1 classification. The fair value of all other deposits and borrowings is determined using the discounted cash flow method thereby resulting in a Level 2 classification. The discount rate was equal to the rate currently offered on similar products.
30 |
NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE (Continued)
Subordinated debentures
Due to the pooled nature of these instruments, which are not actively traded, estimated fair value is based on broker prices from recent similar sales resulting in a Level 2 classification.
Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments
The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter 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 interest 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the majority of off-balance-sheet items are variable rate instruments or convert to variable rate instruments if drawn upon. Therefore, the fair value of these items is largely based on fees, which are nominal and immaterial.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:

NOTE 10 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in particular classes of financial instruments.
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 by the customer. 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 Corporation evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, if any, deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral normally consists of real property, liquid assets or business assets. The Corporation had $13.4 million and $5.1 million in outstanding commitments at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. The Corporation had $228.7 million and $227.3 million in unfunded lines of credit whose contract amounts represent credit risk at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation 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 Corporation generally holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary. The Corporation had standby letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $4.0 million and $4.1 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
The Bank maintains a reserve for potential off-balance sheet credit losses that is included in other liabilities on the balance sheet. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the balance in this reserve totaled $636 thousand.
The mortgage division of the Bank makes representations and warranties that loans sold to investors meet its program’s guidelines and that the information provided by the borrowers is accurate and complete. In the event of a default on a loan sold, the investor may make a claim for losses due to document deficiencies, program compliance, early payment default, and fraud or borrower misrepresentations. The mortgage division maintains a reserve in other liabilities for potential losses on mortgage loans sold. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance in this reserve totaled $4.6 million.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In preparing the Corporation’s financial statements management makes estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Management believes that the most significant subjective judgments that it makes include the following:
34 |
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) FASB ASC 450-10, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and can be estimated, and (ii) FASB ASC 310-10, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. An allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based upon industry standards, known risk characteristics, management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio, and changes in the nature and volume of loan activity. Such evaluation considers, among other factors, the estimated market value of the underlying collateral and current economic conditions.

Securities in the Corporation’s securities portfolio are classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. At June 30, 2014, there were no non-agency mortgage backed securities or trust preferred securities in the portfolio. The estimated fair value of the portfolio fluctuates due to changes in market interest rates and other factors. Changes in estimated fair value are recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income. Securities are monitored to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. Management evaluates the securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine the collectability of amounts due per the contractual terms of each security. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to net income is recognized. At June 30, 2014, there were no securities with other than temporary impairment.
Income Taxes
The Corporation uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method results in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities that are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. The deferred provision for income taxes is the result of the net change in the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year. This amount combined with the current taxes payable or refundable results in the income tax expense for the current year. The Corporation’s evaluation of the deductibility or taxability of items included in the Corporation’s tax returns has not resulted in the identification of any material, uncertain tax positions.
Fair Value
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. The fair value estimates of existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments do not include the value of anticipated future business or the values of assets and liabilities not considered financial instruments. For additional information about our financial assets carried at fair value, please see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Executive Summary
At June 30, 2014, the Corporation’s assets totaled $999.2 million, compared to $847.2 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $152.0 million. The increase in assets was primarily due to a growth in loans held for investment of $53.1 million, an increase in interest-bearing balances of $20.8 million, an increase in investment securities of $33.8 million, an increase in loans held for sale of $26.6 million, and the purchase of bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) in the amount of $15 million. The increase in loans held for investment at June 30, 2014 in comparison with December 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to a $29.5 million or 16.2% growth in commercial loans and a $20.3 million or 22.4% increase in commercial real estate – non-owner occupied loans. At June 30, 2014, loans secured by real estate collateral comprised 70.4% of our total loan portfolio, with loans secured by commercial real estate contributing 40.8% of our total loan portfolio, loans secured by residential real estate contributing 24.2% and real estate construction loans contributing 5.4%. Loans held for sale totaled $51.0 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $24.4 million at December 31, 2013. Loans held for sale fluctuates with the volume of loans originated during any given month and the length of time the loans are held prior to selling them in the secondary market. Deposits totaled $791.8 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $573.0 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $218.8 million. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $81.3 million from $189.9 million at December 31, 2013 to $271.2 million at June 30, 2014. Savings and interest-bearing deposits increased from $200.2 million at December 31, 2013 to $235.7 million at June 30, 2014, an increase of $35.5 million. The largest increase in our deposits came in time deposits, growing from $182.9 million at December 31, 2013 to $284.8 million at June 30, 2014. This increase of $101.9 million increase was due in part to management’s decision to utilize the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) to partially offset the increase in securities as well as the increase in loans held for sale from December 31, 2013 and reduce short-term borrowings.
Net income for the second quarter of 2014 totaled $3.1 million compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2013. Earnings per diluted share were $0.29 for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $0.34 per diluted share in the same period of 2013. The banking segment continued to show positive growth in pretax income of $477 thousand when comparing the periods ended June 30, 2014 to June 30, 2013,due to an increase in net interest income of $576 thousand, while the mortgage segment reflected declines in the mortgage loan origination volume for the same comparison period of $62.2 million. This decreased volume as well as a reduction in the secondary market pricing led to the $3.3 million decrease in the mortgage segment’s gain on sale of loans when comparing the three month period ending June 2014 to the same period ending June 2013.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $5.5 million compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2013. Earnings per diluted share were $0.52 for the first six months of 2014, compared to $0.69 per diluted share in the same period of 2013. For the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the banking segment saw an increase in pretax income of $860 thousand when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to an increase in net interest income of $656 thousand as well as a $225 thousand reduction in the provision for loan losses. The mortgage segment saw a reduction of $209.3 million in loan origination volume for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 in comparison with the same period in 2013. This decreased volume as well as a reduction in the secondary market pricing led to the $9.5 million decrease in gain on sale of loans when comparing the six month period ending June 2014 to the same period ending June 2013.
Non-performing assets (“NPA”) totaled $1.9 million, or 0.19%, of total assets at June 30, 2014, down from $2.5 million, or 0.30%, of total assets at December 31, 2013. NPA are comprised solely of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2014.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an increase in labor productivity of 2.5% annually in the nonfarm business sector for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 1.2% when compared to the second quarter of 2013. The unemployment rate for Fairfax County, Virginia rose slightly from 4.1% in March 2014 to 4.4% in June 2014, still remaining below the 5.3% for the state of Virginia at the end of June 2014 and 6.2% for the nation at the end of June 2014. Information reviewed at the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) July 2014 meeting showed growth in economic activity rebounded during the second quarter of 2014 while labor market indicators suggested significant underutilization of labor resources remain. Fiscal policy continues to restrain economic growth; however, the extent of the restraint is deemed to be diminishing as the FOMC “sees the risks to the outlook for economic activity and the labor market as nearly balanced…”. The historically low interest rate environment continues to negatively impact yields of variable loans and the securities portfolio. The Corporation’s net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased to 3.79% from the June 30, 2013 percentage of 3.81% due mainly to the declining yield on the loans held for investment portfolio. While there is no certainty to the magnitude of any impact, the continued extended period of low short-term interest rates, as presently forecasted by the Federal Reserve, will continue to have an adverse effect on the net interest margin.
While we continue to see price appreciation in the local residential real estate market, there is no guarantee that these positive trends will continue, and contrasting the real estate market price appreciation are mixed results in the labor markets. As such, we remain cautious as to the macro-economic risks, many openly identified by the Federal Open Market Committee, including persistently high rates of unemployment and underemployment. As a consequence, we have generally retained more cautious loan underwriting criteria established during the financial crisis period of 2007 – 2009. In spite of these challenges, we are proactive in seeking new client relationships driven by our target market profile: business-to-business and business-to-government companies with annual revenue of $1 million to $100 million and the various banking services needed by the business and the professionals associated with the businesses.
Although we believe that the credit quality of our primary business and professional customers has stabilized and has begun to improve, we will continue to focus on improving the credit quality of our loan portfolio and reducing non-performing assets. The Corporation is optimistic with a strong capital base and being positioned for continued growth.
Securities
The Corporation’s securities portfolio is comprised of U.S. government agency securities, mortgage backed securities, corporate bonds, a CRA mutual fund, and other asset backed securities as well as municipal bonds. The portfolio does not have any non-agency mortgage backed securities or trust preferred securities.
At June 30, 2014 the fair value of the securities portfolio totaled $126.5 million, compared to $92.2 million at December 31, 2013. Included in the fair value totals are held-to-maturity securities with an amortized cost of $12.4 million (fair value of $12.3 million) and $16.3 million (fair value of $15.7 million) at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Securities classified as available-for-sale are accounted for at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses recorded directly to a separate component of shareholders' equity, net of associated tax effect while held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. Investment securities are used to provide liquidity, to generate income, and to temporarily supplement loan growth as needed.
Restricted Stock
Restricted stock consists of FHLB stock and FRB stock. These stocks are classified as restricted stocks because their ownership is restricted to certain types of entities and they lack a market. Restricted stock is carried at cost on the Corporation’s financial statements. Dividends are paid semiannually on FRB stock and quarterly on FHLB stock.

Loans
The loan portfolio constitutes the largest component of earning assets and is comprised of commercial real estate – owner occupied, commercial real estate – non-owner occupied, residential real estate, commercial, real estate construction, and consumer loans. All lending activities of the Bank and its subsidiaries are subject to the regulations and supervision of the Comptroller. The loan portfolio does not have any pay option adjustable rate mortgages, loans with teaser rates or subprime loans or any other loans considered “high risk loans”. Loans totaled $740.1 million at June 30, 2014 compared to $687.1 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $53.0 million or 7.7%. Comprising the majority of the growth, commercial loans increased $29.5 million and commercial real estate – non-owner occupied increased $20.3 million. The overall increase in loans reflects results from our marketing outreach as well as continued improvement in loan demand by local businesses. Please see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for a table that summarizes the composition of the Corporation’s loan portfolio. The following is a summary of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2014.
Commercial Real Estate Loans – Owner Occupied: This category of loans represented the second largest segment of the loan portfolio and was comprised of owner occupied loans secured by the commercial property, totaling $190.9 million, representing 25.79% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2014. Commercial real estate loans are secured by the subject property and underwritten to policy standards. Policy standards approved by the Board of Directors from time to time set forth, among other considerations, loan-to-value limits, cash flow coverage ratios, and the general creditworthiness of the obligors.
Commercial Real Estate Loans – Non-Owner Occupied: This category of loans represented the fourth largest segment of the loan portfolio and was comprised of loans secured by income producing commercial property, totaling $111.0 million and representing 14.99% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2014. Commercial real estate loans are secured by the subject property and underwritten to policy standards as listed above.
Residential Real Estate Loans: This category represented the third largest segment of the loan portfolio and included loans secured by first or second mortgages on one to four family residential properties. This segment totaled $179.0 million and comprised 24.19% of the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2014. Of this amount, the following sub-categories existed as a percentage of the whole residential real estate loan portfolio as of June 30, 2014: home equity lines of credit, 17.3%; first trust mortgage loans, 75.3%; and junior trust loans, 7.4%.
Home equity lines of credit are extended to borrowers in our target market. Real estate equity is often the largest component of consumer wealth in our marketplace. Once approved, this consumer finance tool allows the borrowers to access the equity in their homes or investment properties and use the proceeds for virtually any purpose. Home equity lines of credit are most frequently secured by a second lien on residential property. The proceeds of first trust mortgage loans are used to acquire or refinance the primary financing on owner occupied and residential investment properties. Junior trust loans are loans to consumers wherein the proceeds have been used for a stated consumer purpose. Examples of consumer purposes are education, refinancing debt, or purchasing consumer goods. The loans are generally extended in a single disbursement and repaid over a specified period of time. Loans in the residential real estate portfolio are underwritten to standards within a traditional consumer framework that is periodically reviewed and updated by management and the Board of Directors and takes into consideration repayment source and capacity, value of the underlying property, credit history, savings pattern, and stability.
Commercial Loans: Commercial Loans represented the largest segment of the loan portfolio, totaling $211.7 million and representing 28.61% of the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2014. These loans are made to businesses or individuals within our target market for business purposes. Typically the loan proceeds are used to support working capital and the acquisition of fixed assets of an operating business. We underwrite these loans based upon our assessment of the obligor(s)’ ability to generate operating cash flows in the future necessary to repay the loan. To address the risks associated with the uncertainties of future cash flows, these loans are generally well secured by assets owned by the business or its principal shareholders/owners and the principal shareholders/owners are typically required to guarantee the loan.
38 |
Real Estate Construction Loans: Real estate construction loans, also known as construction and land development loans represented the fifth largest segment of the loan portfolio and totaled $40.5 million and represented 5.47% of the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2014. These loans generally fall into one of three categories: first, loans to individuals that are ultimately used to acquire property and construct an owner occupied residence; second, loans to builders for the purpose of acquiring property and constructing homes for sale to consumers; and third, loans to developers for the purpose of acquiring land that is developed into finished lots for the ultimate construction of residential or commercial buildings. Loans of these types are generally secured by the subject property within limits established by the Board of Directors based upon an assessment of market conditions and updated from time to time. The loans typically carry recourse to principal owners. In addition to the repayment risk associated with loans to individuals and businesses, loans in this category carry construction completion risk. To address this additional risk, loans of this type are subject to additional administration procedures designed to verify and ensure progress of the project in accordance with allocated funding, project specifications and time frames.
Consumer Loans: Consumer loans, which were the smallest segment of the loan portfolio, totaled $7.0 million and represented 0.95% of the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2014. Most loans in this category are well secured with assets other than real estate, such as marketable securities or automobiles. Very few consumer loans are unsecured. As a matter of operation, management discourages unsecured lending. Loans in this category are underwritten to standards within a traditional consumer framework that is periodically reviewed and updated by management and the Board of Directors and takes into consideration repayment capacity, collateral value, savings pattern, credit history, and stability.
Loans Held for Sale (“LHFS”)
LHFS are residential mortgage loans originated by the mortgage division of the Bank to consumers and underwritten in accordance with standards set forth by an institutional investor to whom we expect to sell the loans for a profit. Loan proceeds are used for the purchase or refinance of the property securing the loan. Loans are sold with the servicing released to the investor. At June 30, 2014, LHFS at fair value totaled $51.0 million compared to $24.4 million at December 31, 2013.
The LHFS loans are closed by the Bank and held on average fifteen to thirty days pending their sale to government sponsored entities as well as mortgage banking subsidiaries of large financial institutions. During the second quarter of 2014 we originated $109.3 million of loans processed in this manner, compared to $70.6 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $171.4 million for the second quarter of 2013. Loans are sold without recourse and subject to industry standard representations and warranties that may require the repurchase by the Bank of loans previously sold. The repurchase risks associated with this activity center around early payment defaults and borrower fraud.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses totaled $13.2 million at June 30, 2014 compared to $13.1 million at December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses was equivalent to 1.78% and 1.91% of total loans held for investment at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Adequacy of the allowance is assessed and increased by provisions for loan losses charged to expense no less than quarterly. Charge-offs are taken when a loan is identified as uncollectible. For additional information about the allowance for loan losses, please see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.
Non-performing Assets
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Bank had non-performing assets totaling $1.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual and restructured loans. All non-performing loans are carried at the expected liquidation value of the underlying collateral.

Deposits
Deposits are the primary sources of funding loan growth. At June 30, 2014, deposits totaled $791.8 million compared to $573.0 million on December 31, 2013, an increase of $218.8 million or 38.18%. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $81.3 million from $189.9 million at December 31, 2013 to $271.2 million at June 30, 2014. Savings and interest-bearing deposits increased to $235.7 million at June 30, 2014 from $200.2 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $35.5 million, or 17.73%. The largest increase in our deposits came in the time deposits, growing from $182.9 million at December 31, 2013 to $284.8 million, an increase of $101.9 million, or 55.71%. This increase was due in part to management’s decision to utilize the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) to partially offset the increase in securities as well as the increase in loans held for sale from December 31, 2013 and reduce short-term borrowings. The growth in noninterest-bearing accounts is attributable to new accounts opened during the first six months of 2014 as a result of our outreach to operating businesses and positive balance fluctuations of existing commercial accounts.
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity totaled $96.1 million at June 30, 2014 compared to $91.1 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in shareholders’ equity is due mainly to retained earnings net of dividends paid. Banking regulators have defined minimum regulatory capital ratios that the Corporation and the Bank are required to maintain. These risk based capital guidelines take into consideration risk factors, as defined by the banking regulators, associated with various categories of assets, both on and off the balance sheet. Both the Corporation and Bank are classified as well capitalized, which is the highest rating.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary
Net income for the second quarter of 2014 totaled $3.1 million or $0.29 diluted earnings per share. This compares with $3.5 million or $0.34 diluted earnings per share for the same quarter in 2013. The decrease in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 is attributable to the decreased earnings from the mortgage banking segment and was mitigated by favorable increases in net interest income and a decrease in provision for loan loss.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $5.5 million or $0.52 diluted earnings per share compared to $7.2 million or $0.69 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2013. The decrease in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is attributable to the decreased earnings from the mortgage banking segment. The decrease in mortgage activity was mitigated by favorable increases in net interest income as well as a decrease in provision for loan loss.
41 |
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, the principal source of earnings, is the amount of income generated by earning assets (primarily loans and investment securities) less the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities (primarily deposits) used to fund earning assets. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses totaled $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $8.1 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in net interest income is primarily due to lower funding costs and changes in the composition of earning assets. The annualized yield on earning assets was 4.16% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 when compared to 4.39% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The increase in the second quarter income on earning assets of $416 thousand is attributable to increased yields in securities and loans held for sale as well as increased volume in loans held for investment and securities. The cost of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings decreased from 0.74% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 to 0.56% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Net interest margin was 3.80% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to 3.89% for the same period in 2013.
Net interest income before the provision for loan losses totaled $16.8 million for the first six months of 2014 compared to $16.1 million for the same period in 2013. The annualized yield on earning assets for the first six months of 2014 was 4.16% compared to 4.31% for the same period in 2013. The cost of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings for the first six months of 2014 was 0.56% compared to 0.72% for the same period in 2013. Net interest margin was 3.79% for the first six months of 2014 compared to 3.81% for the same period in 2013.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income consists of revenue generated from financial services and activities other than lending and investing. The mortgage segment provides the most significant contributions to noninterest income. Total noninterest income was $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $8.0 million for the same period in 2013. Gains on the sale of loans originated by the Banks’s mortgage segment are the largest component of noninterest income. Gains on the sale of loans totaled $3.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to $7.1 million for the same period of 2013. Gains on the sale of loans fluctuate with the volume of mortgage loans originated. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Bank’s mortgage segment originated $109.3 million in mortgage and brokered loans, down from $171.4 million for the same period in 2013. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, other income reflected a gain of $1.3 million, up from $736 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2013, due in part to the increased revenue generated by the Wealth Management segment of $302 thousand.
Noninterest income was $8.6 million for the first six months of 2014 compared to $18.9 million for the same period in 2013. Gains on the sale of loans totaled $5.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to $15.0 million for the same period of 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Bank’s mortgage segment originated $179.8 million in mortgage and brokered loans, down from $389.1 million for the same period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, other income reflected a gain of $2.7 million, as compared to a $3.5 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decline was due to a $4 million reduction in the realized gain on hedging activity in the Mortgage segment which was mitigated by a $2.7 million increase in the fair value adjustments on the mortgage loans held for sale as well as an increase in revenue generated by the Wealth Management segment of $592 thousand.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $10.5 million for the same period in 2013, a decrease of $1.3 million. Salaries and employee benefits totaled $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $6.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease in salary and employee benefits is attributable in part to the reduction in the mortgage loan production. Other operating expenses totaled $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2013.
Noninterest expense totaled $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $23.2 million for the same period in 2013, a decrease of $6.3 million. Salaries and employee benefits totaled $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $14.9 million for the same period last year. The decrease in salary and employee benefits is attributable to the decrease in volume related compensation in the mortgage banking segment. Other operating expenses totaled $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $7.0 million for the same period in 2013. This decrease is also primarily due to volume related expenses associated with a decrease in mortgage loan production.

Liquidity Management
Liquidity is the ability of the Corporation to meet current and future cash flow requirements. The liquidity of a financial institution reflects its ability to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management involves maintaining the Corporation’s ability to meet the daily cash flow requirements of both depositors and borrowers. Management monitors liquidity through a regular review of asset and liability maturities, funding sources, and loan and deposit forecasts.
47 |
Asset and liability management functions not only serve to assure adequate liquidity in order to meet the needs of the Corporation’s customers, but also to maintain an appropriate balance between interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities so that the Corporation can earn an appropriate return for its shareholders.
The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily through loan principal repayments and maturities of investment securities. Other short-term investments such as federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits with other banks provide an additional source of liquidity funding. At June 30, 2014, overnight interest-bearing balances totaled $36.1 million and unpledged available-for-sale investment securities totaled approximately $41.8 million.
The Bank proactively manages a portfolio of short-term time deposits issued to local municipalities and wholesale depositors in order to fund loans held for sale and short-term investments. As of June 30, 2014, the portfolio of CDARS and wholesale time deposits totaled $184.0 million compared to $76.6 million at December 31, 2013, respectively.
The liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity through various interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit accounts, federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreement to repurchase and other short-term borrowings. At June 30, 2014, the Bank had a line of credit with the FHLB totaling $277.9 million and had outstanding $80 million in short term loans at fixed rates between 0.19% and 0.23% leaving $197.9 million available on the line. In addition to the line of credit at the FHLB, the Bank issues repurchase agreements. As of June 30, 2014, outstanding repurchase agreements totaled $20.5 million. The interest rates on these instruments are variable and subject to change daily. The Bank also maintains federal funds lines of credit with its correspondent banks and, at June 30, 2014, these lines totaled $60.5 million and were available as an additional funding source.
The following table presents the composition of borrowings at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the periods indicated.

Management believes the Corporation is well positioned with liquid assets, the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding and the availability of borrowed funds, to meet the liquidity needs of depositors and customers’ borrowing needs. The Corporation’s ability to maintain sufficient liquidity may be affected by numerous factors, including economic conditions nationally and in our markets. Depending on the Corporation’s liquidity levels, its capital position, conditions in the capital markets and other factors, the Corporation may from time to time consider the issuance of debt, equity or other securities, or other possible capital markets transactions, the proceeds of which could provide additional liquidity for its operations.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Corporation’s market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk. The Funds Management Committee is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position and establishes policies to monitor and coordinate the Corporation’s sources, uses and pricing of funds.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Management
The Corporation uses a simulation model to analyze, manage and formulate operating strategies that address net interest income sensitivity to movements in interest rates. The simulation model projects net interest income based on various interest rate scenarios over a twelve month period. The model is based on the actual maturity and re-pricing characteristics of rate sensitive assets and liabilities. The model incorporates certain assumptions which management believes to be reasonable regarding the impact of changing interest rates and the prepayment assumption of certain assets and liabilities. The table below reflects the outcome of these analyses at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, assuming budgeted growth in the balance sheet. According to the model run for the six month period ended June 30, 2014, and projecting forward over a twelve month period, an immediate 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an increase in net interest income of 1.42%. Modeling for an immediate 100 basis point decrease in interest rates has been suspended due to the current rate environment. While management carefully monitors the exposure to changes in interest rates and takes actions as warranted to mitigate any adverse impact, there can be no assurance about the actual effect of interest rate changes on net interest income.
The following table reflects the Corporation’s earnings sensitivity profile.
Increase in Federal Funds Target Rate | Hypothetical Percentage Change in Earnings June 30, 2014 | Hypothetical Percentage Change in Earnings December 31, 2013 | ||||||||
3.00 | % | 3.77 | % | 8.20 | % | |||||
2.00 | % | 2.66 | % | 5.50 | % | |||||
1.00 | % | 1.42 | % | 2.41 | % |
The Corporation’s net interest income and the fair value of its financial instruments are influenced by changes in the level of interest rates. The Corporation manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through policies established by its Funds Management Committee. The Funds Management Committee meets periodically and has responsibility for formulating and implementing strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and earnings and reviewing interest rate sensitivity.

The Mortgage Division is party to mortgage rate lock commitments to fund mortgage loans at interest rates previously agreed (locked) by both the Mortgage Division and the borrower for specified periods of time. When the borrower locks his or her interest rate, the Mortgage Division effectively extends a put option to the borrower, whereby the borrower is not obligated to enter into the loan agreement, but the Mortgage Division must honor the interest rate for the specified time period. The Mortgage Division is exposed to interest rate risk during the accumulation of interest rate lock commitments and loans prior to sale. The Mortgage Division utilizes either a best efforts sell forward or a mandatory sell forward commitment to economically hedge the changes in fair value of the loan due to changes in market interest rates. Failure to effectively monitor, manage, and hedge the interest rate risk associated with the mandatory commitments subjects the Mortgage Division to potentially significant market risk.
Throughout the lock period the changes in the market value of interest rate lock commitments, best efforts and mandatory sell forward commitments are recorded as unrealized gains and losses and are included in the consolidated statement of income under other noninterest income. The Mortgage Division utilizes a third party and its proprietary simulation model to assist in identifying and managing the risk associated with this activity.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Corporation’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Corporation 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Corporation to disclose material information required to be set forth in the Corporation’s periodic and current reports.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Corporation’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). No changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Corporation, and the Bank are from time to time parties to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is of the opinion that these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations. From time to time the Bank and the Corporation may initiate legal actions against borrowers in connection with collecting defaulted loans. Such actions are not considered material by management unless otherwise disclosed.

The Corporation was informed in July 2014 that the United States Attorney's Office (the "U.S. Attorney's Office") for the Southern District of New York is not taking further steps to investigate the Bank for the activities of the Mortgage Corporation in connection with the subpoena issued by its Civil Frauds Unit in May 2011 and, based on information currently known, has no present intention of taking any further action with respect to the matters covered by the subpoena.
As previously disclosed, the U.S. Attorney's Office had been investigating potential violations by the Mortgage Corporation, prior to the discontinuation of its operations, of the statutes, regulations, and rules governing the Federal Housing Administration's direct endorsement lender program and potential violations of sections 215, 656, 657, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1014, or 1344 of Title 18 or section 287, 1001, 1032, 1341, or 1343 of Title 18 affecting a federally insured financial institution. The subpoena required the Mortgage Corporation, through the Bank since the activities of the Mortgage Corporation have been transitioned into an operating division of the Bank, to produce certain documents and designate a knowledgeable witness to testify with respect to the matters set forth above. The Corporation and its subsidiaries cooperated fully with this investigation.
Except as noted below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors faced by the Corporation from those disclosed in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The following table details the Corporation’s purchases of its common stock during the second quarter of 2014 pursuant to a Share Repurchase Program announced on March 20, 2007. On June 22, 2010 the number of shares authorized for repurchase under the share repurchase program was increased from 2,500,000 to 3,500,000. The Share Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date.

On January 31, 2014, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which it acquired client accounts and certain other assets from a local wealth management practice for an aggregate purchase price of $1.54 million, subject to adjustment, payable in four installments: $770 thousand in connection with closing, $256.5 thousand on March 31, 2015, $256.5 thousand on March 31, 2016 and $257 thousand on March 31, 2017. Each installment of the purchase price is payable 50% in cash and 50% in common stock of the Corporation. For the initial installment in connection with closing, the Corporation issued 24,017 restricted shares of its common stock and the subsidiary agreed to pay up to $385 thousand in cash on three payment dates over 120 days, with the total amount of cash payable in connection with closing subject to adjustment pursuant to the asset purchase agreement to reflect the post-closing delivery of certain consents. For the payment installments in 2015, 2016 and 2017, the number of shares of common stock of the Corporation to be issued will be determined by dividing (i) one-half of the consideration to be paid on the relevant payment date by (ii) the average of the daily closing price per share of the common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, for the ten consecutive trading days prior to and including the December 31 immediately preceding the applicable payment date (with any fraction of a share being rounded to the nearest whole number).
