Botetourt Bankshares, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2008 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Botetourt Bankshares, Inc., (the Company) was incorporated as a Virginia corporation on January 17, 1997 and is the holding company for Bank of Botetourt (the Bank). The Bank was acquired by the Company on September 30, 1997. Bank of Botetourt was founded in 1899 and currently serves Botetourt, Roanoke, Rockbridge, and Franklin Counties, Virginia and surrounding areas through ten banking offices. As an FDIC-insured, state-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company is subject to supervision by the Federal Reserve.
The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2008 and for the periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 included herein, have been prepared by Botetourt Bankshares, Inc., without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the information furnished in the interim consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for such interim periods. Management believes that all interim period adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto as of December 31, 2007, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 was extracted from the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Interim financial performance is not necessarily indicative of performance for the full year.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries follow generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the financial services industry.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet caption “cash and due from banks.” As a condition of our correspondent bank agreement to cover its services provided, the Bank is also required to maintain a target balance. The target balance as of September 30, 2008 was $2,525,000.
Note 3. Allowance for Loan Losses
The following is an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30:
| | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | |

Note 4. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | |
| | Shares | | Per Share | | Shares | | Per Share | |
Basic earnings per share | | 1,244,534 | | $ | 1.36 | | 1,242,592 | | $ | 2.06 | |
Effect of dilutive options | | 1,371 | | | — | | 3,251 | | | (0.01 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Diluted earnings per share | | 1,245,905 | | $ | 1.36 | | 1,245,843 | | $ | 2.05 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 |
| | Shares | | Per Share | | Shares | | Per Share |
Basic earnings per share | | 1,244,925 | | $ | 0.37 | | 1,242,850 | | $ | 0.67 |
Effect of dilutive options | | 1,218 | | | — | | 3,207 | | | — |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Diluted earnings per share | | 1,246,143 | | $ | 0.37 | | 1,246,057 | | $ | 0.67 |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
The Bank is 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 include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the Bank’s commitments at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 is as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 |
Commitments to extend credit | | $ | 35,079,000 | | $ | 36,875,000 |
Standby letters of credit | | | 6,417,000 | | | 6,268,000 |
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Note 6. Benefit Plans
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company adopted the 1999 Incentive Stock Option Plan (Incentive Plan) for certain employees which reserves up to 10,000 shares. Under the terms of the plan, option exercise price shall be set by the Board of Directors at the date of grant, but shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant. Options granted under the plan expire no more than 10 years from date of grant and may not be exercised for six months after the date of the grant.
6
The weighted average fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No options were granted during the first nine months of 2008 or 2007. A summary of option activity under the Incentive Plan as of September 30, 2008 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Options Outstanding | | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | Average Remaining Contractual Term | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
Outstanding, January 1, 2008 | | 6,700 | | | $ | 22.75 | | | | | |
Granted | | — | | | | n/a | | | | | |
Forfeited | | — | | | | n/a | | | | | |
Exercised | | (1,625 | ) | | | 21.34 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Outstanding, September 30, 2008 | | 5,075 | | | $ | 23.20 | | 15 months | | $ | 24,360 |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Exercisable, September 30, 2008 | | 5,075 | | | $ | 23.20 | | 15 months | | $ | 24,360 |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
All outstanding options vested prior to January 1, 2006. Therefore, consistent with the prospective application methodology, no compensation expense was recognized in the first nine months of 2008 or 2007.
The intrinsic value of options exercised during the first nine months of 2008 was $15,781. For the first nine months of 2007, the intrinsic value of options exercised was $19,000. Cash received during the first nine months of 2008 for options exercised was $34,675. For the first nine months of 2007, cash received for options exercised was $22,800.
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
The Company has a qualified noncontributory, Defined Benefit Pension Plan, which covers substantially all of its employees. For additional information related to the plan, refer to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Employer Contributions
The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, that no contributions were expected to be paid prior to September 30, 2008. No contributions were made in the first nine months of 2008.
Note 7. Fair Value
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 157 requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available for sale investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans).
7
Fair Value Hierarchy
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasury, other U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain derivative contracts and impaired loans.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. For example, this category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained residual interests in securitizations, residential mortgage servicing rights, and highly-structured or long-term derivative contracts.
Investment Securities Available for Sale
Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active or over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-back securities in less liquid markets.
Loans
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis, however, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with SFAS 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” (SFAS 114). The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represents loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At September 30, 2008, substantially all of the totally impaired loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with SFAS 157, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observerable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
8
Foreclosed Assets
Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of the carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent observable market prices or appraised values of the collateral, which the Company considers to be level 2 inputs. When the appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

The table below presents the recorded amount of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded as Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company may be required from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below.

General
The Company has no liabilities carried at fair value or measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
The Company has no assets or liabilities whose fair values are measured using level 3 inputs.
FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 delays the implementation of SFAS 157 until the first quarter of 2009 with respect to goodwill, other intangible assets, real estate and other assets acquired through foreclosure and other non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
FASB Staff Position No. 157-3 clarified the application of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, for determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. The Company has no assets in non-active markets.
Note 8: Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Future Accounting Considerations
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” (“SFAS 141(R)”) which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures 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. FAS 141(R) is effective for acquisitions by the Company taking place on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, a calendar year-end company is required to record and disclose business combinations following existing accounting guidance until January 1, 2009. The Company will assess the impact of SFAS 141(R) if and when a future acquisition occurs, although no impact is expected.
9
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 140-3, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions” (“FSP 140-3”). This FSP provides guidance on accounting for a transfer of a financial asset and the transferor’s repurchase financing of the asset. This FSP presumes that an initial transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing are considered part of the same arrangement (linked transaction) under SFAS No. 140. However, if certain criteria are met, the initial transfer and repurchase financing are not evaluated as a linked transaction and are evaluated separately under Statement 140. FSP 140-3 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years and earlier application is not permitted. Accordingly, this FSP is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FSP 140-3 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). The Board believes that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. This Statement is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The FASB does not expect that this Statement will result in a change in current practice and the Company does not anticipate any impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flow.
In September 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161,” (“FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4”), effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after November 15, 2008. FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 amends SFAS 133 to require the seller of credit derivatives to disclose the nature of the credit derivative, the maximum potential amount of future payments, fair value of the derivative, and the nature of any recourse provisions. Disclosures must be made for entire hybrid instruments that have embedded credit derivatives.
The staff position also amends FIN 45 to require disclosure of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative guarantee. If an entity utilizes internal groupings as a basis for the risk, how the groupings are determined must be disclosed as well as how the risk is managed.
The staff position encourages that the amendments be applied in periods earlier than the effective date to facilitate comparisons at initial adoption. After initial adoption, comparative disclosures are required only for subsequent periods.
FSP SFAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 clarifies the effective date of SFAS 161 such that required disclosures should be provided for any reporting period (annual or quarterly interim) beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this Staff Position will have no material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The SEC’s Office of the Chief Accountant and the staff of the FASB issued press release 2008-234 on September 30, 2008 (“Press Release”) to provide clarifications on fair value accounting. The press release includes guidance on the use of management’s internal assumptions and the use of “market” quotes. It also reiterates the factors in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5M which should be considered when determining other-than-temporary impairment: the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than cost; financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and the intent and ability of the holder to retain its investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
10
On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP SFAS 157-3”). This FSP clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (see Note 7) in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that asset is not active. The FSP is effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. For the Company, this FSP is effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
The Company considered the guidance in the Press Release and in FSP SFAS 157-3 when conducting its review for other-than-temporary impairment as of September 30, 2008 and determined that it did not result in a change to its impairment estimation techniques.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Note 9. Subsequent Events
Declaration of Cash Dividend
On October 22, 2008, the Company declared a third quarter $0.21 cash dividend per common share payable on November 10, 2008 to shareholders of record on October 22, 2008.
Modification of Defined Benefit Pension Plan
The Company’s Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee conducted a strategic review of long term employee benefits in 2008, looking specifically at salary and benefits provided by peer institutions and benefits that reasonably may help us continue to attract and retain key employees. As a part of that review, the Board of Directors determined that the Company’s Master Defined Benefit Plan needed to be adjusted. For years of service from October 1, 2008, the accrued benefit under that plan will be 1.00% (rather than the previous 1.30%) of average compensation multiplied by a formula of years of service (up to 35 years) plus 0.75% of excess compensation, as defined in the Plan, multiplied also by years of service (again, up to 35 years), paid on a monthly basis. Management expects that some or all savings to the Company, if any, will be invested in other key employee benefits not yet determined.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
General
The following discussion provides information about the major components of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
Critical Accounting Policy
For a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Results of Operations
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $1,696,602 compared to $2,560,076 for the same period last year, representing a decrease of $863,474 or 33.73%. Basic earnings per share decreased $0.70 from $2.06 at September 30, 2007 to $1.36 at September 30, 2008. Diluted earnings per share decreased $0.69 from $2.05 at September 30, 2007 to $1.36 at September 30, 2008. The decrease in net interest income significantly contributed to the decrease in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The Company’s earnings have been impacted by the compression of its net interest margin, resulting from the effects of easing monetary policy actions by the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) during 2008. As the FOMC lowers its target rates, the Bank’s assets, such as variable rate loans, reprice more quickly than its liabilities, such as deposits, reducing our net interest margin, reflective of an asset-sensitive balance sheet position. The Company also experienced higher noninterest expense during the first nine months of 2008, attributable primarily to increased occupancy expense related to the recent branch footprint expansion of two new retail offices, other operating expenses such as computer software depreciation, FDIC insurance premiums, and other professional services. Additionally, during the first nine months of 2008, the Company incurred foreclosed assets expenses associated with the holding phase of other real estate owned.
Interest-earning assets increased $7,155,322 from $263,461,015 at September 30, 2007 to $270,616,337 at September 30, 2008. Total interest income decreased in the first nine months of 2008 as compared to the first nine months of 2007 due primarily to a decrease in interest rates on variable rate loans, a decrease in investment income resulting from lower interest rates earned on a smaller investment portfolio, and lower interest earned on federal funds sold. Interest-bearing liabilities increased $9,110,367 to $225,458,583 at September 30, 2008 from $216,348,216 at September 30, 2007. Total interest expense decreased during the period due to a lower interest rate environment resulting in lower interest paid on interest-bearing deposits. Net interest income decreased by $632,738, or 7.79%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same time period in 2007.
The expense provision for credit losses was $455,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and $250,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in the expense provision was due to potential exposure from identified impaired loans. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of an amount adequate to provide for potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. We regularly review and re-evaluate the allowance for loan losses and the adequacy of the allowance is determined by analysis of the different components. The specific component addresses nonperforming and problem loans. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses including external risk factors that management believes affect the overall lending environment including levels and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans, levels and trends in charge-offs and recoveries, trends in volume and terms of loans, effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting practices, experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff, national and local economic trends and conditions, banking industry conditions, and the effect of changes in credit concentrations. A foreseeable impact from deteriorating economic conditions was quantified in the unallocated environmental factors pool component of the allocation. Net charge-offs decreased during the first nine months of 2008 compared to the same time period in 2007. Management believes the expense provision and the resulting allowance for loan losses are adequate and appropriate. While management uses all available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. Our current market environment, with an expected national and global recession coupled with anticipated increases in unemployment, makes default risk even higher and more difficult to quantify.
12
Noninterest income decreased by 0.34% to $1,271,523 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $1,275,843 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in mortgage origination fees and a decrease in income generated by service charges on deposit accounts such as overdraft fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, noninterest expense increased by $441,026, or 8.12%, which is primarily a result of an increase in other operating expenses, such as FDIC insurance premiums following the expiration of the one-time assessment credits, professional services and computer software maintenance services associated with the normal course of business, and an increase in occupancy expense associated with the continuing retail office growth of the Company.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $458,908 compared to $835,775 for the same period last year, representing a decrease of $376,867 or 45.09%. Both basic and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.30 from $0.67 at September 30, 2007 to $0.37 at September 30, 2008. The decrease in net income is attributable to the adverse impact of a narrowing net interest margin caused by a reduction in short-term interest rates. During the third quarter, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was passed and the FOMC, in collaboration with other global central banks, lowered interest rates at an emergency interim meeting. The Company’s earnings were adversely impacted by the declining interest rate environment due to the Company’s asset sensitive balance sheet position. Additionally, noninterest expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2008.Total interest income decreased during the three month period compared to the same three month period in 2007 due primarily to a decrease in interest income. Interest expense decreased during the three month period compared to the same three month period of 2007 due to interest-bearing deposit liabilities repricing at lower interest rates. The combined effect resulted in net interest income decreasing by $95,563, or 3.62%, in the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007.
Following management’s third quarter evaluation of the reasonableness of the allowance for loan losses, we recorded an expense provision for credit losses of $310,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared with $100,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to a specific reserve allocation related to the impaired loans discussed in the non-performing assets section and an increased allocation in the environmental factors pool associated with a contracting economy. Management believes the expense provision and the resulting allowance for loan losses are adequate and appropriate.
Noninterest income increased by $42,167 or 10.23% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same quarter in the previous year. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in service charges on deposit accounts, income from credit and debit card activity, offset by a decrease in mortgage origination fees. Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased by $306,719 or 17.81% over the same quarter in the previous year. The increase is the result of an increase in other operating expenses associated with the normal course of business, including personnel and occupancy expense resulting from the continuing growth of the Company combined with expenses associated with the maintenance of foreclosed assets and the recognition of reduced fair value of one other real estate owned property.
Financial Condition
As a result of continued overall loan demand in our operating markets, total loans increased $13,204,804 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. We funded these new loans primarily through increased deposits. Deposits increased by $11,193,103 due to competitive pricing and successful deposit campaigns. The Company used federal funds to meet any short-term daily funding needs. At September 30, 2008, the Company had purchased federal funds in the amount of $1,562,000 compared to $2,134,000 at December 31, 2007. Investment securities, including restricted equity securities decreased $2,982,894 as a result of maturing, called, and sold investment securities. Total assets increased by $10,356,289 to $289,987,856 from December 31, 2007 to September 30, 2008.
Stockholders’ equity totaled $27,085,994 at September 30, 2008 compared to $26,451,390 at December 31, 2007. The $634,604 increase during the period was the result of earnings for the nine months combined with capital stock issued from the exercise of employee stock options, offset by a decrease in the market value of securities that are classified as available for sale and by dividends paid for the period.
13
Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans and foreclosed properties, were $3,172,666 at September 30, 2008 and $1,643,806 at December 31, 2007. Foreclosed assets consisted of three properties totaling $1,894,766 at September 30, 2008, following a revaluation of all properties and reducing the carrying amount by $40,000 to reflect current market prices. The Bank, at December 31, 2007, had foreclosed properties in the amount of $1,475,000. All foreclosed properties are currently being marketed for sale. Nonaccrual loans were $1,277,900 at September 30, 2008 and $168,806 at December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily a result of one credit relationship placed in nonaccrual status during the third quarter. Loans are generally placed in nonaccrual status when the collection of principal and interest is 90 days or more past due, unless the obligation is both well-secured and in the process of collection. A loan is considered impaired if it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans amounted to $1,360,834 at December 31, 2007. Two additional impaired credit relationships, both secured by real estate collateral, were identified in the third quarter of 2008. As a result, impaired loan balances increased to $2,990,039 at September 30, 2008. Specific reserve amounts were deemed necessary on three credits at September 30, 2008. Approximately $124,000 of the reserve has been allocated for these identified impaired loans, including one of the newly identified credit relationships.
Capital Requirements
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory (and possibly additional discretionary) actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets, as all those terms are defined in the regulations. By definition, Tier 1 capital is comprised of common equity, retained earnings and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, less certain intangibles.
At September 30, 2008, the Bank’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted average assets) was 10.54% compared to 10.83% at December 31, 2007. The Company’s risk-based capital ratio (Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted average assets) was 11.11% at September 30, 2008 and 11.42% at December 31, 2007. Each of these ratios exceeded the required minimum ratio of 4.0%. At September 30, 2008, the Bank’s leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average assets) was 9.15% compared to 9.40% at December 31, 2007. At September 30, 2008, the Company’s leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average assets) was 9.59% compared to 9.87% at December 31, 2007. Each of these ratios exceeded the required minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. Management believes, as of September 30, 2008, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject.
With the passage of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and as part of the U.S. Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program, a Capital Purchase Program was introduced to the banking industry. All financial institutions are eligible to apply for a capital injection from the U.S. Department of Treasury in an effort to strengthen their capital positions and have the ability to make credit prudently available in their lending markets. Irrespective of the overall capital strength of the Bank and the Company, we are evaluating the Capital Purchase Program to see if the plan would be beneficial to the Company in the long-term.
14
Liquidity
Liquidity is the ability to convert assets to cash to fund depositors’ withdrawals or borrowers’ loans without significant loss. There were no material changes in the Company’s liquidity position at September 30, 2008. Federal fund lines available from correspondent banks totaled $23,000,000 at September 30, 2008 and $17,000,000 at December 31, 2007. The outstanding balance on these lines was $1,562,000 at September 30, 2008, as compared to $2,134,000 at December 31, 2007.
The secondary liquidity source for both short-term and long-term borrowings consists of a $13,086,000 secured line of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). During the third quarter, the Company pledged specific loans as collateral to increase our secured borrowing capacity from the FHLB. Any borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank are secured by a blanket collateral agreement on a pledged portion of the Bank’s 1-to-4 family residential real estate loans, multifamily mortgage loans, and commercial mortgage collateral. No balance was outstanding on this line at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
The Bank uses cash and federal funds sold to meet its daily funding needs. If funding needs are met through holdings of excess cash and federal funds, then profits might be sacrificed as higher-yielding investments are foregone in the interest of liquidity. Therefore management determines, based on such items as loan demand and deposit activity, an appropriate level of cash and federal funds sold and seeks to maintain that level.
The Bank’s investment portfolio also serves as a source of liquidity. The primary objectives of the investment portfolio are to satisfy liquidity requirements, maximize income on portfolio assets, and supply collateral required to secure public funds deposits. As investment securities mature, the proceeds are either reinvested in federal funds sold to fund loan demand or deposit withdrawal fluctuations or the proceeds are reinvested in similar investment securities. The majority of investment security transactions consist of replacing securities that have been called or matured. The Bank keeps a portion of its investment portfolio in unpledged assets that are less than 24 months to maturity. These investments are a source of liquid funds as they can be sold in any interest rate environment without causing significant harm to the current period’s results of operations.
As a result of the management of liquidity in the steps described above, we believe that our Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy depositors’ requirements and meet customers’ credit needs.

Item 4T. | Controls and Procedures |
As of the end of the period to which this report relates, the Company has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goal under every potential condition, regardless of how remote. While we have evaluated the operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and found them effective, there can be no assurance that they will succeed in every instance to achieve their objective.
Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in enabling us to record, process, summarize and report effectively and in a timely manner the information required to be disclosed in reports we file under the Exchange Act. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
