EXPLANATORY NOTE
This amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. for the period ended March 31, 2009 that was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 6, 2009 is being filed solely to correct an inadvertent miscalculation of certain risk based capital figures in the original filing. Specifically, the following figures were adjusted to correct the “Capital Resources” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I, Item 1: the risk-based capital ratio for Tier 1 capital was adjusted from 12.96% to 12.85%, the total risk based capital was adjusted from $115.9 million to $116.0 million and the risk-based capital ratio for total capital was adjusted from 14.00% to 13.89%. No other information in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 is being amended by this Amendment No. 1 and this amendment continues to speak as of the period ending date in the original filing of the Form 10-Q.
For convenience, the entire Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2009 has been re-filed in this Form 10-Q/A. Pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-15, in connection with this filing, we have filed updated Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.

EASTERN VIRGINIA BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. | The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “Company”) at March 31, 2009. The statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “2008 Form 10-K”). Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. |
Subsequent to the filing of an 8-K with our first quarter earnings press release dated April 17, 2009, an accounting rule change was implemented that decreased our net income available to common shareholders. This rule change requires dividends on the cumulative preferred stock issued to the U. S. Treasury in January 2009 to be treated for accounting purposes as a preferred dividend for the full period outstanding in the quarter as opposed to the interim period for which the dividend was declared and payable. This action increased our effective preferred stock dividend from $120 thousand to $343 thousand, decreasing net income available to common shareholders from $603 thousand to $381 thousand and decreasing earnings per common share from $0.10 to $0.06
2. | We were organized and chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on September 5, 1997 and commenced operations effective December 29, 1997 when Southside Bank and Bank of Northumberland, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiaries. The transaction was accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. We opened our third subsidiary in May 2000 when Hanover Bank began operations in Hanover County, Virginia. On April 24, 2006, we completed the conversion to a one-bank holding company by merging the three banking subsidiaries. The new bank began operating under the name “EVB” on April 24, 2006. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. |
In the March 2008, we purchased two branches in the Richmond market from Millennium Bank which placed us in new markets for our company and added $92 million in deposits and $49 million in loans to our balance sheet. This transaction was accretive to earnings starting in the second quarter of 2008. In the third quarter of 2008, our Quinton branch in New Kent County, Virginia relocated to a permanent branch building to better serve a growing customer base. We are constantly looking for accretive ways to expand our franchise.
After quarter end, Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. announced plans to purchase First Capital Bank located in the Richmond market. This will be a strategic alliance which will match up their strong commercial business with our strong retail experience. The merger is expected to take place in the third or fourth quarter of 2009 and is projected to be accretive to 2010 earnings. (See 8-K with the press release issued April 17, 2009.)
The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Bonds with unrealized loss positions of less than 12 months duration at March 31, 2009 included 1 federal agency, 2 corporate bonds, 3 mortgage-backed securities, and 37 municipal bonds. Securities with unrealized losses of 12 months or greater duration included 3 mortgage-backed securities, 8 corporate bonds, 7 pooled trust preferred securities and 4 collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”). The
7
unrealized loss positions at March 31, 2009 were primarily related to the widened market spreads for mortgage backed and corporate securities and lack of an orderly market for trust preferred securities. Holdings of GMAC contained unrealized loss positions because these securities have been downgraded by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s rating agencies to levels below investment grade. As of March 31, 2009, we held $3.0 million in GMAC bonds. These holdings are monitored regularly by our Chief Financial Officer and reported to the EVB Board on a monthly basis. Based on this analysis, we recorded a $300 thousand impairment charge on the GMAC holdings in March 2008. Given the attractive yield, our ability and intent to hold until maturity or principal recovery and the belief that the risk of default is remote, we have not recommended sale of the holdings and believe the remaining unrealized loss is temporary. GMAC has been approved to participate in the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”).
The 7 trust preferred issues with losses include 6 pooled trust preferred securities secured by debt of banks and insurance companies, primarily banks, and 1 similar issue consisting solely of bank borrowings. One of these trust preferred issues is the senior A tranche rated AAA while the other 6 issues are the D “mezzanine” tranche rated BBB by Fitch at time of issue. None of the pooled trust preferred securities had been downgraded by the rating agency as of March 31, 2009. Additional information concerning the trust preferred holdings as of March 31, 2009 is presented in the table below:

At March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, options to acquire 304,312 shares and 235,637 shares of common stock were not included in computing diluted earnings per common share because their effects were anti-dilutive.
8. | On September 21, 2000, we adopted the Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) to provide a means for selected key employees and directors to increase their personal financial interest in our Company, thereby stimulating their efforts and strengthening their desire to remain with us. Under the 2000 Plan, up to 400,000 shares of Company common stock may be granted. No options may be granted under the 2000 Plan after September 21, 2010. On April 17, 2003, the shareholders approved the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, amending and restating the 2000 Plan (the “2003 Plan”) while still authorizing the issuance of up to 400,000 shares of common stock. There are 35,443 shares still available under the 2003 Plan. |
On April 19, 2007, our shareholders approved the Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. 2007 Equity
10
Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”) to enhance our ability to recruit and retain officers, directors and employees with ability and initiative and to encourage such persons to have a greater financial interest in the company. The 2007 Plan authorizes the Company to issue up to 400,000 additional shares of common stock. No awards have been issued under the 2007 Plan.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant. We had already adopted SFAS No. 123 in 2002 and began recognizing compensation expense for stock option grants in that year, as all such grants had an exercise price not less than the fair market value on the date of the grant.
SFAS 123R also requires that new awards to employees eligible for retirement prior to the awards becoming fully vested be recognized as compensation cost over the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service to earn the award. Our stock options granted to eligible participants prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R that had an accelerated vesting feature associated with employee retirement are being recognized, as required, as compensation cost over the vesting period except in the instance where a participant reaches normal retirement age of 65 prior to the normal vesting date.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, stock option and restricted stock compensation expense of $68 thousand and $74 thousand, respectively was included in salary and benefit expense.
Stock option compensation expense is the estimated fair value of options granted, amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each stock grant award. Through March 31, there have been no awards issued in 2009. The weighted average estimated fair value of stock options granted in the year 2008 was $3.62. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions indicated in the table below:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | | | 2006 | |
Dividend rate: | | 2.82 | % | | 2.82 | % | | 2.97 | % |
Price Volatility: | | 33.25 | % | | 32.89 | % | | 22.94 | % |
Risk-free interest rate: | | 3.56 | % | | 4.56 | % | | 4.65 | % |
Expected life: | | 7 Years | | | 7 Years | | | 10 Years | |
The dividend rate is calculated as the average quarterly dividend yield on our stock for the past seven years by dividing the quarterly dividend by the average daily closing price of the stock for the period. Volatility is a measure of the standard deviation of the daily closing stock price plus dividend yield for the same period. The risk-free interest rate is the seven-year Treasury strip rate on the date of the grant. The expected life of options granted in 2008 was calculated using the simplified method whereby the vesting period and the contractual period are averaged.

| | | | | | | | | |
As of March 31, 2009, there was $427 thousand of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options that will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period of approximately 1.9 years. There were no options granted in the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 or 2008. There were no shares exercised in the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 or 2008.
We awarded 15,000 shares of restricted stock to employees on December 20, 2007. One half of these shares are subject to time vesting at 20% per year over a five–year period. At March 31, 2009 there was $61 thousand of total unrecognized compensation related to the time-vested awards. The other half of the restricted share award is performance based and will vest on June 30, 2010 if, and only if, 2009 financial achievements of the Company meet very aggressive targets. Given the aggressive targets for the performance-based award, the Company does not anticipate these awards to vest and therefore no compensation expense has been recorded to date on these awards. Compensation is accounted for using the fair market value of our common stock on the date the restricted shares were awarded, which was $17.25 per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, restricted stock compensation expense of $6 thousand and $7 thousand, respectively, was included in salary and benefit expense.

We made our required 2008 fiscal year contribution to the pension plan in December 2008 in the amount of $642 thousand. We project that we will make a contribution of $941 thousand in 2009.

10. | SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements |
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 fair 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 No.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 our Company.
We 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 of 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 our 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 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| • | | Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| • | | Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:
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 March 31, 2009. Securities identified in Note 3 as restricted securities including stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) are excluded from the table below since there is no ability to sell these securities except when the FHLB or FRB require redemption based on either our borrowings at the FHLB, or in the case of the FRB changes in certain portions of our 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 to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:
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 external appraiser 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: Certain assets such as other real estate owned (“OREO”) are measured at fair value less cost to sell. We believe that the fair value component in our valuation or OREO follows the provisions of SFAS No. 157.
The following table summarizes our financial assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2009.

11. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather, provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. The FASB approved a one-year deferral for the implementation of the Statement for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2009 without a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). The Standard significantly changed the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles for how an acquirer recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for acquisition dates on or after the beginning of an entity’s first year that begins after December 15, 2008. Due to the announced acquisition of First Capital Bancorp, Inc, the Company expects the implementation of SFAS 141(R) to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the 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. Due to the announced acquisition of First Capital Bancorp, Inc, the Company expects the implementation of SFAS 141(R) 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. Earlier adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
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, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-2 amends other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-
15
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 115-1 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-2 having a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
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. Implementation of SAB 111 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
We present management’s discussion and analysis of financial information to aid the reader in understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. This discussion provides information about our major components of the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented elsewhere in this report and in the 2008 Form 10-K. Operating results include those of all our operating entities combined for all periods presented.
We provide a broad range of personal and commercial banking services including commercial, consumer and real estate loans. We complement our lending operations with an array of retail and commercial deposit products and fee-based services. Our services are delivered locally by well-trained and experienced bankers whom we empower to make decisions at the local level so that they can provide timely lending decisions and respond promptly to customer inquiries. We believe that, by offering our customers personalized service and a breadth of products, we can compete effectively as we expand within our existing markets and into new markets.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial information contained within our 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. For example, we use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ substantially from the historical factors
16
that we use. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.
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) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.5,Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when their occurrence is probable and estimable and (ii) SFAS No.114,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of the collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.
We evaluate non-performing loans individually for impairment, such as nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more, restructured loans and other loans selected by management as required by SFAS No. 114. The evaluations are based upon discounted expected cash flows or collateral valuations. If the evaluation shows that a loan is individually impaired, then a specific reserve is established for the amount of the impairment. If a loan evaluated individually is not impaired, then the loan is assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 5.
For loans without individual measures of impairment, we make estimates of losses for groups of loans as required by SFAS No. 5. Loans are grouped by similar characteristics, including the type of loan, the assigned loan grade and general collateral type. A loss rate reflecting the expected loss inherent in a group of loans is derived based upon historical loss rates for each loan type, the predominant collateral type for the group and the terms of the loan. The resulting estimates of losses for groups of loans are adjusted for relevant environmental factors and other conditions of the portfolio of loans including: borrower or industry concentrations; levels and trends in delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries; changes in risk selection; level of experience, ability and depth of lending staff; and national and local economic conditions.
The amounts of estimated losses for loans individually evaluated for impairment and groups of loans are added together for a total estimate of loan losses. The estimate of losses is compared to our allowance for loan losses as of the evaluation date and, if the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be considered. If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the estimate is evaluated to determine whether a reduction to the allowance would be necessary. While management uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the valuations. Such adjustments would be made in the relevant period and may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations, requires the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. For purchase acquisitions, we are required to record assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities at their fair value, which in many instances involves estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation techniques. Effective January 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”) which prescribes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 discontinue the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, but require at least an annual impairment review and more frequently if certain impairment indicators are in evidence. Additionally, we adopted SFAS No. 147Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, on January 1, 2002, and determined that core deposit intangibles will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Goodwill totaled $16.0 million at both March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Based on the testing of goodwill for impairment, no impairment charges have been recorded. Core deposit intangible assets are being amortized over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from 2.39 to 7.0 years. Core deposit intangibles, net of amortization, amounted to $431 thousand and $503 thousand, at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and are included in other assets.
17
As discussed above in Note 1, subsequent to the filing of an 8-K with our first quarter earnings press release dated April 17, 2009, an accounting rule change was implemented that reduced our net income available to common shareholders. This rule change requires dividends on the cumulative preferred stock issued to the U. S. Treasury in January 2009 to be treated for accounting purposes as a preferred dividend for the full period outstanding in the quarter as opposed to the interim period for which the dividend was declared and payable. This action increased our effective preferred stock dividend from $120 thousand to $343 thousand, decreasing net income available to common shareholders from $603 thousand to $381 thousand and decreasing earnings per common share from $0.10 to $0.06
OVERVIEW
First quarter results for 2009 reflect the impact of continued volatility and uncertainty in the world economic environment. Our financial statements reflect the local impact of this recession with large increases in federal funds sold, a decline in loan growth, a large increase in loan loss provision, increased collection expense, an increase in OREO, increases in deposits as investors look for safe havens to store their cash, lower interest income as a result of the rapid rate declines in 2008, decreasing noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expense primarily as a result of our branch expansion last year. These changes are not limited to just our bank. Community banks including our Company rely primarily on earnings from lending in the local markets that they serve. Community banks are living with the hardship of their customers and neighbors and being impacted by the slowing of loan payments resulting in deterioration in asset quality.
On January 9, 2009 Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. issued 24,000 shares of preferred stock to the U. S. Treasury. The Company had applied for funds under the TARP Capital Purchase Plan (“CPP”). This funding increases the capital level at both the holding company and the bank. The agreement also requires us to pay a 5% dividend on the preferred stock for the first five years, then increases to 9% for all periods after the first five years if we have not redeemed the preferred stock. In addition we issued a warrant to the U. S. Treasury giving them the right to purchase 373,832 shares of our common stock at $9.63 per share for up to 10 years. These funds put an already well capitalized company in a stronger position. Management continues to evaluate the impact to the Company if we repay these funds early.
Subsequent to quarter end, management announced on April 3, 2009, a definitive merger agreement with First Capital Bancorp, Inc. (“FCVA”) in the Richmond marketplace This strategic alliance of a strong retail business with a strong commercial business, expected to close in late 2009, should offer the new Company a stronger earnings base as we look forward to 2010. Both Companies are well capitalized.
Net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2009 was $381 thousand compared to $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2008. This decline was the result of a number of factors, some of which were planned for and others that resulted from the rapid descent of the financial markets in the second half of 2008. Interest income and expense decreased, resulting in a net interest income decline of $641 thousand. While average earning assets grew $128.3 million over their 2008 balances, $104.4 million of the growth was in loans that were priced lower than the previous portfolio rate and $35.7 million was in Federal funds sold which earned 0.24% compared to 2.76% at this time in 2008. Average interest bearing liabilities balances increased $138.2 million which was $9.9 million more than loan growth. The rate impact on these balances caused much of the earnings decline in the quarter. In addition loan income was hurt by an average of $15.6 million in nonaccrual loans that lowered our yield on the loan portfolio. Investment income declined partially from lower rates on new investments but more from the Treasury conservatorship of the FNMA and FHLMC which eliminated our agency preferred stock dividends and the cessation of dividends from the Atlanta FHLB. During the first quarter of 2009, management increased the loan loss provision 100% compared to the first quarter of 2008. Management considered this action prudent considering deterioration in asset quality. Noninterest income decreased $1.1 million primarily from a $1.0 million of nonrecurring net gains in the first quarter of 2008. Finally, our branch expansion and some infrastructure changes in 2008 resulted in an increased noninterest expense.
Looking to the rest of the year, we anticipate the federal government’s economic stimulus plan will help revive loan demand and we have developed some new loan products to assist customers in bridging the credit crunch. On a linked quarter basis, interest expense on deposits in the first quarter of 2009 was $130 thousand less than in the fourth quarter of 2008. Over the remainder of the year we anticipate net interest margin improvement as repricing of deposits should exceed repricing of loans. The Federal Reserve is focused on reviving the economy and there are some signs of deflation in recent reports, so we do not anticipate any major rate changes unless inflation is rekindled by an economic expansion. The TARP money has enhanced our capital position as the parent infused the bank with $20 million more of
18
regulatory capital. We anticipate increased loan losses in the short run and have prepared for that expectation. We have quality individuals managing our past due loans and foreclosed properties to minimize our potential losses. As the economy recovers, we are positioned to take advantage of all opportunities that present themselves.
Financial Condition
Return on average assets (ROA) for the first quarter of 2009 declined to 0.14%, compared to 1.15% in the same quarter of 2008, and return on average equity (ROE) declined to 1.56% compared to 11.63% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. While operating net income was $723 thousand, the subtraction of $342 thousand in effective preferred dividends, further lowered the numerator in this ratio.
Total assets at March 31, 2009 were $1.10 billion, up $46.7 million, or 4.4%, from $1.05 billion at year-end 2008 and up $80.5 million, or 7.9% from March 31, 2008, when total assets were $1.02 billion. This increase is the result of strong deposit growth, particularly in the first quarter of 2009 and the addition of $24 million from the issuance of preferred stock. Loan growth for the first quarter of 2009 was $9.8 million, or 1.2% compared to the 2008 year-end balance. For the quarter, total average assets were $1.08 billion, an increase of 15.6% compared to $931.4 million in the first quarter of 2008. For the quarter ending March 31, 2009, average total loans, net of unearned income were $824.3 million, an increase of $104.4 million, or 14.5%, from $719.9 million in the same quarter of 2008. At March 31, 2009, net loans as a percent of total assets were 74.5%, as compared to 76.9% at December 31, 2008. While this portfolio should be able to generate a strong earnings stream, the current economic uncertainty overshadows our near term earnings.
At March 31, 2009, the investment portfolio totaled $164.3 million, a decrease of $16.6 million from $180.9 million at March 31, 2008 and an increase of $2.4 million from $161.9 million at year-end 2008. Interest rates during the first quarter of 2009 were fairly steady and low compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Our unrealized losses especially in pooled trust preferred and corporate securities increased compared to year-end 2008 balances. We continue to monitor the payment streams of these instruments focusing on the deferred payments and defaulted payments. For more detail, see the securities note earlier in the document. Most of the funds that are invested in the investment portfolio are part of management’s effort to balance interest rate risk and to provide liquidity. Management, recognizing the potential liquidity impact that the increase in unrealized losses could have, opted to participate in the TARP Capital Purchase Program to assist in our loan growth and provide an extra cushion in the event that we have additional impairment on our securities.
Total deposits of $852.6 million at March 31, 2009 represented an increase of $39.1 million, or 4.8%, from $813.5 million at year-end 2008 and an increase of $89.2 million, or 11.7%, from $763.4 million at March 31, 2008. The cost of deposits continues to decrease, and we anticipate that it will drop more as large blocks of certificates of deposit reprice, bringing the loan to deposit spread back to a more normal level. All deposit prices are evaluated frequently by our asset liability committee and adjusted as needed to reflect the competitive rate environment.
FHLB borrowings at March 31, 2009 totaled $124.6 million, a $10.0 million, or 7.4%, decrease compared to $134.6 million at December 31, 2008 and an $11.4 million decrease from $136.1 million at March 31, 2008. With the large balance in Federal funds sold, we do not anticipate additional borrowing this year. Over the remainder of the year, we expect to cover our funding needs by attracting lower cost deposits and anticipate maturing certificates of deposit will re-price at lower rates.
SFAS No. 115 requires the Company to show the effect of market changes in the value of securities available for sale. The effect of the change in market value of securities, net of income taxes, is reflected in a line titled “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss), net” in the Shareholders’ Equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The securities portion was a $14.1 million loss at March 31, 2009 an increase of $2.3 million from an $11.8 million loss at December 31, 2008 and an increase of $9.6 million from a $4.5 million loss at March 31, 2008. The unrealized loss on securities is presented as a value at one specific point in time but fluctuates significantly over time depending on interest rate changes. Also included in this line item is a $3.2 million loss related to the market decrease in the value of the pension plan (SFAS No. 158).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Income
With the addition of the preferred stock on our balance sheet, we need to analyze income on two levels: income from operations and income available to common shareholders. Preferred dividends and accretion of discount on the preferred stock are recorded before any dividends can be paid to the common stock holders.
As noted earlier, net income available to common shareholders was $381 thousand compared to $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2008. Diluted earnings per common share decreased 86.7% to $0.06, compared to $0.45 for the same quarter in 2008. Approximately $1.03 million (pretax), or $0.11 per share after tax, of the 2008 first quarter net income was the result of nonrecurring items. Net interest income decreased $641 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in net interest income for the first quarter 2009 was the result of loan interest income declining $550 thousand, securities income down $185 thousand and dividend income decreasing $111 thousand. These declines were the result of loans repricing in a lower rate environment, the loss of FNMA and FHLMC securities income and the loss of the FHLB dividend. Interest on interest bearing liabilities declined $189 thousand to offset some of the interest income decline. The impact of the material decline in interest income with less decline in deposit expense compressed the loan deposit interest spread. The final major earning asset, Federal funds sold, had average balances of $36.6 million with a yield of only 0.24%, earned $22 thousand in the first quarter. As we invest this large pool of funds in higher earning assets and as deposit expense continues to fall with deposit funds repricing at lower rates, the squeeze on our margin in the first quarter should relax as we go through the remainder of the year. In addition to the margin contraction, management added $450 thousand more provision for loan loss expense to end the first quarter 2009 at $900 thousand compared to $450 thousand in 2008 first quarter.
Noninterest income for the first quarter 2009 was $1.6 million, compared to $2.7 million in 2008’s first quarter, a decline of $1.1 million, or 41.4%. Excluding the impact of the 2008 nonrecurring gain mentioned above, noninterest income was down $72 thousand at $1.6 million for the first quarter 2009 compared to an adjusted $1.6 million for the same period in 2008. Deposit fees declined $31 thousand and investment fees were down $31 thousand. Securities impairment declined $284 thousand, as we had a $16 thousand impairment charge in the first quarter of 2009.
Noninterest expense rose $784 thousand, or 11.9%, to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $6.6 million in the comparable period of 2008, as all categories, except marketing and advertising, increased. Part of this increase is caused by the impact of a full quarter of operating expense from the Millennium branches purchased in the first quarter of 2008. Salary expenses increased $307 thousand to $4.0 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $3.7 million in 2008. FDIC expense increased $225 thousand, or 300%, compared to the same period in 2008.
Net Interest Income
Our primary source of income is net interest income which on a fully tax equivalent basis totaled $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2009, a $637 thousand decrease from $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2008. Average earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $1.0 billion an increase of $128.3 million compared to $877.7 million for the same period in 2008. Average loans increased $104.4 million, or 14.5%. Average securities decreased $11.8 million, or 7.5%. Average federal funds sold increased $35.7 million, or over 4,000%, for the first quarter of 2009, reflecting the increase in deposits, the slowing of loan growth and the influx of the TARP money. The fully tax equivalent net interest margin for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 was 3.12% compared to 3.84% for the same quarter in 2008. For the quarter ended March 31 2009, the yield on earning assets declined 116 basis points to 5.69%, compared to 6.85% for the first quarter of 2008, and the cost of interest bearing liabilities was down 63 basis points to 2.95% from 3.58% in the same period in 2008. This 72 basis point decrease in earnings in our net interest margin equates to approximately $7.2 million on an annualized basis, or over $1.8 million in the first quarter. In addition, we had an increased balance in nonaccruing loans which further lowered interest income. Our decrease in funding costs is across the board with decreases in all interest bearing deposit categories. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the average balances for all interest bearing liabilities, except savings and fed funds purchased, increased. The notes in the following schedule show the derivation of the tax equivalent amount which is added to GAAP net interest income.

Noninterest Income
This category includes all income not related to interest on investments and interest and fees on loans. Noninterest income excluding net realized gains or losses on securities sales was $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $2.6 million income for the same quarter in 2008. Prior year noninterest income was aided by a nonrecurring $1.3 million actuarial gain from our pension plan conversion partially offset by a $300 thousand securities impairment. Core noninterest earning categories showed a decline mostly related to the economic environment. Service charges on deposit accounts for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $934 thousand, a decline of $31 thousand compared to $965 thousand for the comparable period in 2008. Overdraft and NSF fees decreased $37 thousand from the first quarter 2008 reflecting a change of customer attitude in this depressed economy. Debit and credit card fees increased $13 thousand, or 5.1%, to $269 thousand compared to $256 thousand in the first quarter of 2008. The rate of increase has slowed compared to the double-digit increases of the last couple of years, again reflecting our customers conservative stance in our current economic environment. Other operating income was declined $35 thousand to $327 thousand for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $362 thousand in the same period in 2008 with mostly offsetting increases and decreases in the various categories. Management believes the decline in these income flows reflect the caution utilized by our customer base in this depressed economy.
Noninterest Expense
This category includes all expenses other than interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Total noninterest expense was $7.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $784 thousand, or 11.9%, compared to $6.6 million in the same quarter of 2008. There were increases in all the identified categories, except marketing and advertising which declined $47 thousand, primarily from having no new branch opening expenses in the 2009 quarter. Salaries and benefits increased $307 thousand to $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $3.6 million in the same quarter in 2008. Occupancy expense increased $100 thousand to $1.2 million compared to $1.1 million in the same quarter in 2008. Telephone expense increased $77 thousand and other operating expenses rose $122 thousand to $290 thousand and $1.4 million respectively. These increases in the first quarter 2009, compared to first quarter 2008, included $106 thousand that was the result of the full impact of the two new branches purchased late in March 2008 and the relocation of two branches to larger, more modern facilities. In addition, $103 thousand of the salary and benefit increase comes from higher group insurance expense. After salaries and benefits, the single highest increase was in FDIC expense at $300 thousand, up 300%, or $225 thousand, compared to $75 thousand for the first quarter 2008. This expense will increase significantly more in the second quarter of 2009 when in addition to the raised rate, a special assessment will be levied on all banks insured by the FDIC at a rate not yet finalized.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $119 thousand compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2008 reflecting the effect of lower net interest income and the increased reserve for loan loss. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 14.5% and 28.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
ASSET QUALITY
The Company’s allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the amount needed to provide for possible losses in the loan portfolio. In determining adequacy of the allowance, management considers the Company’s historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, specific impaired loans, the overall level of nonperforming loans, the value and adequacy of collateral and guarantors, experience and depth of lending staff, effects of credit concentrations and economic conditions. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense and reduced by charge offs, net of recoveries. Because the risk of loan loss includes general economic trends as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the allowance for loan losses can only be an estimate. (See the Allowance for Loan Losses discussion under Critical Accounting Policies earlier in this section.)
Total nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest and foreclosed properties, were $20.9 million at March 31, 2009, $16.7 million at December 31, 2008 and $5.3 million at March 31, 2008. This increase is the result of a depressed economy that has put record numbers of people out of work, making their ability to pay on formerly good paying loans a challenge. The weak real estate market, which has slowed sales of homes, has caused our Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) properties to stay in a nonperforming status for a longer period of time. Nonperforming assets are composed largely (92.3%) of loans secured by real estate in the Company’s market area and repossessed properties in our OREO balances. Nonaccrual loans at
22
March 31, 2009 were $17.2 million. In the first quarter of 2009, OREO increased $383 thousand from $560 thousand at year-end 2008 to $943 thousand at the end of March 2009. Currently, we have 2 homes and a developer’s property with 8 lots in our OREO inventory. We expect to recover most of the current balance in this account. As more foreclosures occur in our markets, we expect our OREO balance to increase over most of 2009. The depressed economy has affected our real estate markets causing deflation in property values.
Nonaccrual loans have increased $3.6 million from $13.6 million at year-end 2008 and $13.6 million from $3.9 million at March 31, 2008. This increase reflects the impact of the various economic issues in the second half of 2008. Of the current balance of $17.2 million in nonaccrual loans, $16.9 million is secured. Within these secured loans, $15.6 million are secured by real estate, $1.1 million are secured by various commercial equipment and inventories and the remainder is covered by individual homes. Of the real estate secured loans, $10.7 million are real estate construction, $3.4 million are residential real estate and $1.5 million are commercial properties. At this point in time, despite the bargain hunter lethargic real estate market, management anticipates recovering over 90% of the value and has made increased provision allotments to cover the potential losses.
At March 31, 2009 the last component of our nonperforming loans, loans past due 90 days and accruing interest, was $2.8, million an increase of $234 thousand from year end 2008 and an increase of $2.1 million from a $734 thousand balance at March 31, 2008. Of the $2.8 million current balance, $2.7 million is secured by real estate with no losses anticipated.
While our real estate markets have been stable in the past with a very low historical loss experience, the present environment is uncharted ground, presenting a greater challenge to management. The increase in nonaccrual loans is heavily concentrated in the construction loan category and is a management focus. Nonaccrual loans include $1.1 million of loans that are current as to both principal and interest, but have been placed on nonaccrual status as an abundance of caution.
Loan charge-offs, less recoveries, amounted to $300 thousand for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $84 thousand for the same quarter in 2008, while the annualized ratio of net charge-offs to total average loans, net of unearned income, was 0.15% for the first quarter of 2009, compared to 0.24% for the full year 2008 and 0.05% for the first quarter 2008. Credit quality management continues to be our top priority. The lenders and our collection area are maintaining close contact with our troubled customers, but charge-offs are inevitable in this environment. With the high level of real estate secured debt and the large increase in loan loss reserves taken, management is confident that we can successfully manage through the economic downturn. We anticipate larger provision expense as the asset quality dictates the need.
At March 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was $11.1 million, an increase of $600 thousand when compared to $10.5 million at December 31, 2008, and up $2.4 million, compared to $8.7 million at March 31, 2008. The increase in allowance has been dictated by the declining asset quality in our depressed economy. The allowance is a reflection of loss inherent in the portfolio and not a forecast of actual current nonperforming loans. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.34% at March 31, 2009, 1.29% at 2008 year-end and 1.14% at March 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2009 included $3.4 million of specific impaired loan reserves.
At March 31, 2009, the Company reported a balance of $34.0 million in impaired loans, an increase of $9.8 million from $24.2 million at December 31, 2008 and an increase of $14.4 million from $6.4 million at March 31, 2008. The average balance of impaired loans for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $16.3 million.
At March 31, 2009 we also had $17.6 million in loans classified as potential problem loans that were excluded from impaired and nonaccrual status. These loans are currently performing and no loss is anticipated at this time based on management’s on-going analysis. Management considers all loans that are adversely risk rated as potential problem loans. These loans are risk rated based on the borrowers’ perceived ability to comply with current repayment terms. These loans are subject to constant management and Board attention, and their status is reviewed on a regular basis. Factors that cause a loan to be adversely risk rated include:
| • | | Failure to provide the bank with current financial statement and tax return |
| • | | Declining or negative earnings trends |
| • | | Declining or inadequate liquidity |
| • | | Concerns about the business that is intended to provide the source of repayment |
23
| • | | Unfavorable competitive comparisons |
| • | | High debt to worth ratio |
| • | | Lack of well-defined secondary repayment source |
The following table summarizes the Company’s nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.

LIQUIDITY
Liquidity represents our ability to meet present and future deposit withdrawals, to fund loans, to maintain reserve requirements and to operate the organization. To meet our liquidity needs, we maintain cash reserves and have an adequate flow of funds from maturing loans, securities and short-term investments. In addition, our subsidiary bank maintains borrowing arrangements with major regional banks and with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). We consider our sources of liquidity to be sufficient to meet our estimated liquidity needs.
With a balance of $34.3 million in Federal funds sold and the expectation of strong deposit growth in 2009, we are in a strong liquidity position as of the end of March 2009. Our FHLB borrowings declined $10 million in the first quarter of 2009. These were the only changes to our contractual obligations that would impact liquidity since the 2008 Form 10-K disclosure. At March 31, 2009, we had immediate available credit with the FHLB of $15.1 million and with nonaffiliated banks of $40.0 million. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2008 Form 10-K for further FHLB information.
There have been no material changes in off-balance sheet arrangements since the 2008 Form 10-K disclosure.
Management believes that we maintain overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy our depositors’ requirements and meet our customers’ credit needs.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
For Tier 1 capital, our risk-based capital position at March 31, 2009 was $107.3 million, or 12.85% of risk-weighted assets, and $116.0 million, or 13.89%, for total risk based capital. Our Tier 1 leverage ratio at March 31, 2009 was 10.14%. Our year-end 2008 ratios were 10.51%, 11.56% and 8.62%, respectively. Enhancing our capital ratios to support future growth is a major goal of management. While a stock offering in December 2006 allowed us to grow and maintain reasonable capital ratios over the last two years, the infusion of the TARP funds puts us in a position to handle the challenges in the near future. At March 31, 2008, these ratios were 11.47%, 12.43% and 9.67%, respectively.
Tier 1 capital consists primarily of common shareholders’ equity, while total risk based capital includes our trust preferred borrowing and a portion of the allowance for loan losses to Tier 1. Risk weighted assets are determined by assigning various levels of risk to different categories of assets and off-balance sheet activities. Under current risk based capital standards, all banks and bank holding companies are required to have a Tier 1 capital of at least 4% and a total capital ratio of at least 8%.

INFLATION
In financial institutions, unlike most other industries, virtually all of the assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a bank’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. While interest rates are significantly impacted by inflation, neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes are directly related to price level movements. The impact of inflation on interest rates, loan demand, and deposits is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information contained in this discussion may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We caution you to be aware of the speculative nature of “forward-looking statements.” These statements are not guarantees of performance or results. Statements that are not historical in nature, including statements that include the words “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “continue,” “assume” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although these statements reflect our good faith belief based on current expectations, estimates and projections about (among other things) the industry and the markets in which we operate, they are not guarantees of future performance. Whether actual results will conform to our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties discussed in this Form 10-Q, including the following:
| • | | the strength of the economy in our target market area, as well as general economic, market, or business conditions; |
| • | | changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios, including adverse developments in borrower industries, decline in real estate values in our markets, or in the repayment ability of individual borrowers or issuers; |
| • | | changes in the interest rates affecting our deposits and our loans; |
| • | | the loss of any of our key employees; |
| • | | changes in our competitive position, competitive actions by other financial institutions and the competitive nature of the financial services industry and our ability to compete effectively against other financial institutions in our banking markets; |
| • | | an insufficient allowance for loan losses as a result of inaccurate assumptions; |
| • | | our ability to manage growth; |
| • | | our potential growth, including our entrance or expansion into new markets, the opportunities that may be presented to and pursued by us and the need for sufficient capital to support that growth; |
| • | | our ability to assess and manage our asset quality; |
| • | | changes in government monetary policy, interest rates, deposit flow, the cost of funds, and demand for loan products and financial services; |
| • | | our ability to maintain internal control over financial reporting; |
| • | | our ability to raise capital as needed by our business; |
| • | | our reliance on secondary sources, such as Federal Home Loan Bank advances, sales of securities and loans, federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks and out-of-market time deposits, to meet our liquidity needs; |
| • | | changes in laws, regulations and the policies of federal or state regulators and agencies; and |
| • | | other circumstances, many of which are beyond our control. |
All of the forward-looking statements made in this filing are qualified by these factors, and there can be no assurance that the actual results anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us or our business or operations. You should also refer to risks detailed under the “Risk Factors” section included in the 2008 Form 10-K and otherwise included in our periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for specific factors that could cause our actual results to be significantly different from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
There have been no material changes in market risk since 2008 year end as disclosed in the 2008 Form 10-K.
25
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on such evaluation, such officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period. In addition, while we have reorganized and centralized many functions over the last year, we have maintained the control points that had been previously established.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We believe that the merger of our subsidiary banks continues to have a positive impact on internal controls by decreasing the number of banks, accounts and internal processes and procedures.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the registrant or any of its subsidiaries is a party. The only litigation in which we and our subsidiaries are involved pertains to collection suits involving delinquent loan accounts in the normal course of business.
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in the 2008 Form 10-K.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
In January 2001, the Board of Directors gave the authority to management to repurchase up to 5% of the outstanding shares of the company’s stock per calendar year based on the number of shares outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year. This authority has been reaffirmed each year and was most recently reaffirmed in June of 2007. There have been no repurchases of common stock since early 2008. There is no stated expiration date for the Plan. No shares were repurchased in the first quarter of 2009. A stipulation of the TARP agreement restricts the company from repurchasing common stock without first obtaining Treasury approval.
