Botetourt Bankshares, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2009 (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, 2009 and for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 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, 2008, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 was extracted from the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
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, 2009 was $3,550,000.
Note 3. Allowance for Loan Losses

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 option 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. At September 30, 2009 all option strike prices were above the average market price for both the nine-month period and the quarter. Therefore, there was no dilutive effect on earnings per share. The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2009 | | 2008 |
| | Shares | | Per Share | | Shares | | Per Share |
| | | | |
Basic earnings per share | | 1,245,300 | | $ | 0.69 | | 1,244,534 | | $ | 1.36 |

Diluted earnings per share | | 1,245,300 | | $ | 0.69 | | 1,245,905 | | $ | 1.36 |

The following tables detail unrealized losses and related fair values in the Bank’s investment securities portfolio. This information is aggregated by the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. All unrealized losses on investment securities are considered by management to be temporarily impaired given the credit ratings on these investment securities and the short duration of the unrealized loss.

Management considers the nature of the investment, the underlying causes of the decline in market value, the magnitude and duration of the decline in market value and other evidence, on a security by security basis, in determining if the decline in market value is other than temporary. The Company does not believe that gross unrealized losses as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, which are comprised of 24 and 30 investment securities respectively, represent an other-than-temporary impairment. As a result, in accordance with the provision set forth in FASB ASC Topic 320, Investments – Debit and Equity Securities, there was no adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income related to other-than-temporary impairments.
The gross unrealized losses reported relate to investment securities issued by the United States Treasury, Government-sponsored enterprises, and various state and municipal securities. Total gross unrealized losses, which represent 0.62% of the amortized cost basis of the Company’s total investment securities, resulted from changes in interest rates due to market conditions and not due to the credit quality of the investment securities.
Restricted equity securities, which are carried at cost, consist of investments in stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), and The Community Bankers Bank which are upstream correspondents of the Bank. The FHLB requires financial institutions to make equity investments in the FHLB in order to borrow from it. The Bank is required to hold that stock so long as it borrows from the FHLB. Both the Bank’s stock in The Community Bankers Bank and the FHLB are restricted in the fact that the stock may only be repurchased by the issuer.

Note 7. 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008 is as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | 2009 | | 2008 |
| | |
Commitments to extend credit | | $ | 35,154,000 | | $ | 34,898,000 |
Standby letters of credit | | | 3,681,000 | | | 6,743,000 |
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 8. Benefit Plans
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company adopted the 1999 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“1999 Incentive Plan”) for certain employees, which reserves up to 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for purchase by employees through exercise of granted options. Under the terms of the plan, the 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. All options reserved under the Plan have been granted.
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 2009 or 2008. A summary of option activity under the Incentive Plan as of September 30, 2009 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Options Outstanding | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | Average Remaining Contractual Term | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
| | | | |
Outstanding, January 1, 2009 | | 4,700 | | $ | 23.21 | | | | | |
Granted | | — | | | n/a | | | | | |
Forfeited | | — | | | n/a | | | | | |
Exercised | | — | | | n/a | | | | | |

| | | | |
Exercisable, September 30, 2009 | | 4,700 | | $ | 23.21 | | 3 months | | $ | — |
| | | | | | | | | | |
All outstanding options vested prior to January 1, 2008. Therefore, consistent with the prospective application methodology, no compensation expense was recognized in the first nine months of 2009 or 2008.
No options were exercised and no cash was received during the first nine months of 2009. For the first nine months of 2008, the intrinsic value of options exercised was $15,781 and cash received for options exercised was $34,675.
In 2009, the Company adopted and the stockholders approved, a 2009 Incentive Stock Plan (“2009 Incentive Plan”) that provides for restricted stock grants and options up to 50,000 shares for key employees of the Company, to be issued at no less than the current market price at the time of the grant or option. No restricted stock grants or options have been granted under that plan.

Employer Contributions
The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, that a $360,000 contribution was expected to be paid prior to December 31, 2009. A $360,000 contribution was made in the first quarter of 2009. No additional contributions were made during the third quarter reporting period, although an additional contribution may be considered by the Company prior to year-end.
Note 9. Fair Value
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, FASB ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”) provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. ASC 820 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).
Fair Value Hierarchy
ASC 820 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. ASC 820 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.
10
Note 9. Fair Value, continued
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.
Assets and Liabilities Recorded as Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

Transfers into Level 3 during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 were related to management adjustments to third party appraisals. Management estimated the fair value of these loans to be further impaired and thereby below the appraised value, resulting in no observable market price. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 | |

| | | | |
After management received and used updated third party appraisals in the determination of fair value, sixteen impaired loans in a net amount of $7,199,000 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2.
The Company has no liabilities carried at fair value or measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Federal funds purchased | | | — | | | — | | | 1,113 | | | 1,113 |
Unused commitments | | | — | | | — | | | — | | | — |
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and due from banks: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and due from banks approximate their fair values.
Interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold: The carrying amounts of interest–bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold approximate their fair values.
Securities: Fair values for securities, excluding restricted equity securities, are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying values of restricted equity securities approximate fair values.
Loans receivable: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying amounts. The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Loan fair value estimates include judgments regarding future expected loss experience and risk characteristics. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values, where applicable. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.
Deposit liabilities: The fair values disclosed for demand and savings deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated contractual maturities on such time deposits. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair value.
Federal funds purchased: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased approximate fair value.

Note 10: Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Future Accounting Considerations
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162,” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM(“Codification”) as the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for nongovernmental entities. The Codification does not change GAAP. Instead, it takes the thousands of individual pronouncements that currently comprise GAAP and reorganizes them into approximately 90 accounting Topics, and displays all Topics using a consistent structure. Contents in each Topic are further organized first by Subtopic, then Section and finally Paragraph. The Paragraph level is the only level that contains substantive content. Citing particular content in the Codification involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure. FASB suggests that all citations begin with “FASB ASC,” where ASC stands for Accounting Standards Codification. Changes to the ASC subsequent to June 30, 2009 are referred to as Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”).
In conjunction with the issuance of SFAS 168, the FASB also issued its first Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-1, “Topic 105 –Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASU 2009-1”) which includes SFAS 168 in its entirety as a transition to the ASC. ASU 2009-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations but will change the referencing system for accounting standards. Certain of the following pronouncements were issued prior to the issuance of the ASC and adoption of the ASUs. For such pronouncements, citations to the applicable Codification by Topic, Subtopic and Section are provided where applicable in addition to the original standard type and number.
In December 2008 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS 132(R)-1 (FASB ASC 715-20-65), “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets,” (“FSP SFAS 132(R)-1”). This FSP provides guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The objective of the FSP is to provide the users of financial statements with an understanding of: (a) how investment allocation decisions are made, including the factors that are pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and strategies; (b) the major categories of plan assets; (c) the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; (d) the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on changes in plan assets for the period; and (e) significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. The FSP also requires a nonpublic entity, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 132, to disclose net periodic benefit cost for each period for which a statement of income is presented. FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Staff Position will require the Company to provide additional disclosures related to its benefit plans.
The FASB issued SFAS 166 (not yet reflected in FASB ASC), “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” (“SFAS 166”) in June 2009. SFAS 166 limits the circumstances in which a financial asset should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire financial asset by taking into consideration the transferor’s continuing involvement. The standard requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. The concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is removed from SFAS 140 along with the exception from applying FIN 46(R). The standard is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not expect the standard to have any impact on the Company’s financial position.
SFAS 167 (not yet reflected in FASB ASC), “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (“SFAS 167”) was also issued in June 2009. The standard amends FIN 46(R) to require a company to analyze whether its interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) gives it a controlling financial interest. A company must assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that the VIE operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that significantly impact its economic performance. Ongoing reassessments of whether a company is the primary beneficiary is also required by the standard. SFAS 167 amends the criteria to qualify as a primary beneficiary as well as how to determine the existence of a VIE. The standard also eliminates certain exceptions that were available under FIN 46(R). SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. Comparative disclosures will be required for periods after the effective date. The Company does not expect the standard to have any impact on the Company’s financial position.

Note 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Future Accounting Considerations, continued
The FASB issued ASU 2009–05, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” in August, 2009 to provide guidance when estimating the fair value of a liability. When a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, fair value should be measured using (a) the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset; (b) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets; or (c) another valuation technique consistent with the principles of Topic 820 such as an income approach or a market approach. If a restriction exists that prevents the transfer of the liability, a separate adjustment related to the restriction is not required when estimating fair value. The ASU was effective October 1, 2009 for the Company and will have no impact on financial position or operations.
ASU 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent),” issued in September, 2009, allows a company to measure the fair value of an investment that has no readily determinable fair market value on the basis of the investee’s net asset value per share as provided by the investee. This allowance assumes that the investee has calculated net asset value in accordance with the GAAP measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the reporting entity’s measurement date. Examples of such investments include investments in hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate funds and venture capital funds. The update also provides guidance on how the investment should be classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the value for which the investment can be redeemed. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not have investments in such entities and, therefore, there will be no impact to our financial statements.
ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” was issued in October, 2009 and provides guidance on accounting for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit utilizing a selling price hierarchy to determine the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price is based on vendor-specific evidence, third-party evidence or estimated selling price. The amendments in the Update are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the update to have an impact on its financial statements.
Issued October, 2009, ASU 2009-15, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing” amends ASC Topic 470 and provides guidance for accounting and reporting for own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of a convertible debt issuance. At the date of issuance, a share-lending arrangement entered into on an entity’s own shares should be measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820 and recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs. The amendments also require several disclosures including a description and the terms of the arrangement and the reason for entering into the arrangement. The effective dates of the amendments are dependent upon the date the share-lending arrangement was entered into and include retrospective application for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. The Company has no plans to issue convertible debt and, therefore, does not expect the update to have an impact on its financial statements.
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 or cash flows.

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 policies, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Results of Operations
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $862,050 compared to $1,696,602 for the same period last year, representing a decrease of $834,552 or 49.19%. Both basic and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.67 from $1.36 at September 30, 2008 to $0.69 at September 30, 2009. The decrease in net income is due to a higher provision for loan losses, an increase in noninterest expense from salaries and employee benefits, and increased FDIC insurance premiums, including the special assessment as part of the FDIC’s restoration plan of the Deposit Insurance Fund. During the first nine months of 2009, the Company experienced lower net interest income as we remain in a prolonged low interest rate environment wherein the Bank’s assets, such as variable rate loans, reprice more quickly than its liabilities, such as deposits, compressing our net interest margin, due to our asset-sensitive balance sheet position. Additionally, but to a lesser extent, the Company incurred expenses related to foreclosed assets associated with the holding phase of other real estate owned and an increase in automated teller machine and VISA check card expenses.
Interest-earning assets increased $11,030,579 from $270,616,337 at September 30, 2008 to $281,646,916 at September 30, 2009. Total interest income decreased in the first nine months of 2009 as compared to the first nine months of 2008 due primarily to a decrease in fees on loans, including the reversal of approximately $397,000 in interest income from loans placed on nonaccrual status. Additionally, there was a decrease in investment income resulting from lower interest rates earned on the investment portfolio, lower interest earned on federal funds sold, lower dividend income, and lower interest earned on deposits at correspondent banks. Interest-bearing liabilities increased $13,001,849 to $238,460,432 at September 30, 2009 from $225,458,583 at September 30, 2008. Interest expense decreased during the period due to interest-bearing deposits repricing at lower interest rate levels. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $172,901 compared to the same time period in 2008.
The expense provision for loan losses was $1,045,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and $455,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 amounted to $1,332,000 compared to $154,000 for the same time period in 2008. The increase in net charge-offs was primarily the result of business failures in the residential real estate development industry. The loans associated with these relationships were previously identified as impaired with specific reserves. Bank management made an appropriate provision to its allowance for loan losses in the third quarter of 2009 in response to higher loan delinquencies, and a slight increase in impaired loans resulting from a bankruptcy filing of a residential real estate developer. Maintaining current and updated appraisals on impaired loans is part of the Company’s best practices. In the third quarter, in response to the local economy, bank management obtained updated appraisals on approximately 40% of all impaired loans, providing current data for use in calculating our loss exposure. Over the past twelve months, the real estate development industry has been plagued by declines in underlying collateral values as well as slow sales. Loss exposure related to all impaired loans amounts to 6.35%.

Results of Operations, continued
Our country has been in a prolonged recession since December of 2007 and our Bank has seen an adverse impact from deteriorated economic trends. In particular, we have felt the most significant impact from the residential real estate development market. Slowed sales have inhibited our borrowers’ ability to repay while declining values of the underlying collateral have increased our potential loan loss exposure. As a result, Bank management prudently discounted property appraisals by 10% to 25% based on internal analysis of local market conditions. Given the proliferation of suppressed collateral values facing the banking industry, the Bank has been proactive in re-evaluating collateral values, including ordering new appraisals on impaired loans, even when existing appraisals were deemed current during normal economic times. These measures assisted management in quantifying the specific component. The Bank has consistently applied five years of environmentally adjusted historical loss data when analyzing the general component of the allowance for all loan pools. For the unallocated component, a thorough economic analysis is performed internally. Economic statistical data is obtained from a trusted third party vendor, the Federal Reserve Bank, and other appropriate public domain sources. The economic data is reviewed, interpreted, and applied to our loan portfolio to quantify the financial impact of the current and forecasted economic environment.
The banking industry has experienced delinquencies with junior liens, including home equity loans, thereby labeling these loan categories as higher-risk loans. These categories present 9.23% of the Bank’s loan portfolio. Of the loan balances in this category, 1.88% of those junior liens is past due and 0.73% is in nonaccrual status. The Bank’s management believes the allowance allocated to these loans is adequate and appropriate. The Bank does not engage in negative amortization loans. Interest-only loans are selectively used and are not part of the Bank’s traditional product offerings for home equity and residential mortgages. To mitigate the risks associated with our loan portfolio, additional personnel have been allocated to the collections and troubled assets function of the Bank. Management believes the provision and the resulting allowance for loan losses are adequate and appropriate.
Noninterest income increased by 21.76% to $1,548,194 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $1,271,523 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase is primarily attributed to income from financial services commissions and service charges on deposit accounts such as overdraft fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, noninterest expense increased by $768,106, or 13.09%, to $6,637,797 compared to $5,869,691 at September 30, 2008. The increase is a result of an increase in salaries and employee benefits, which includes increased pension and health care coverage costs, increased FDIC insurance premiums, including the special assessment, an increase in automated teller machine and VISA check card expenses, and expenses associated with foreclosed assets.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $384,260 compared to $458,908 for the same period last year, representing a decrease of $74,648 or 16.27%. Both basic and diluted earnings per share decreased
$0.06 from $0.37 at September 30, 2008 to $0.31 at September 30, 2009. The decrease in net income is attributable to a decrease in interest income and an increase in noninterest expense. Total interest income decreased during the three month period compared to the same three month period in 2008 due primarily to a decrease in income generated from earning assets, such as loans and investment securities earning lower interest rates. Interest expense decreased during the three month period compared to the same three month period of 2008 due to interest-bearing deposit liabilities repricing at lower interest rates. The combined effect resulted in net interest income decreasing by $126,800 in the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008.
Following management’s third quarter evaluation of the reasonableness of the allowance for loan losses, we recorded an expense provision for credit losses of $260,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared with $310,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The decrease primarily resulted from a leveling off of new impaired loans as well as the first encouraging news that the economy is likely exiting the recession. Management believes the expense provision and the resulting allowance for loan losses are adequate and appropriate.
Noninterest income increased by $88,411 or 19.45% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same quarter in the previous year. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in income from financial services commissions, including the sales of mutual funds and annuities, service charges on deposit accounts, and mortgage origination fees. Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased by $132,226 or 6.52% over the same quarter in the previous year. A significant portion of the increase is due to increased salary and employee benefits and FDIC insurance premium expense.

Financial Condition
Despite overall loan demand being soft in our operating markets, there has been increased activity in both new loan requests and usage of existing credit lines. As result, total loans increased $6,851,297 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. We funded these new loans primarily through increased deposits and investment maturities. Deposits increased by $5,860,505 due to competitive pricing and successful deposit campaigns. As a result of this deposit growth during 2009, the Company transitioned from a federal funds purchaser of $1,113,000 at December 31, 2008 to a federal funds seller during the first nine months of 2009. Federal funds sold at September 30, 2009 amounted to $690,000. Investment securities, including restricted equity securities decreased $1,432,156 as a result of maturing and called investment securities. Given the current interest rate environment, management elected to invest primarily in overnight and short-to-medium term investments. Total assets increased by $5,191,977 to $299,583,988 from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009.
Stockholders’ equity totaled $25,978,136 at September 30, 2009 compared to $25,591,764 at December 31, 2008. The $386,372 increase during the period was the result of earnings for the nine months and a slight appreciation in the market value of securities that are classified as available for sale offset by dividends paid for the period.
Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans and foreclosed properties, were $12,364,597 at September 30, 2009 and $3,602,000 at December 31, 2008, primarily due to increases in nonaccrual loans as described below. Foreclosed assets consisted of six properties totaling $1,370,314 at September 30, 2009, including two additions of foreclosed assets during the third quarter. While there were no foreclosed asset disposals during the third quarter, all foreclosed properties are currently being marketed for sale.
Nonaccrual loans were $10,994,283 at September 30, 2009 and $2,239,000 at December 31, 2008. During the third quarter of 2009, we continued our careful monitoring and review of all credit relationships, particularly troubled credit relationships. One real estate development customer, with a majority of loans already in nonaccrual status, filed bankruptcy during the third quarter. The remaining credit relationships affected by this borrower’s bankruptcy filing were placed on nonaccrual status. Another real estate developer, previously identified as impaired, continued to struggle, resulting in a decision to place certain loans in nonaccrual status. To a lesser financial extent, some consumer related loans were also placed on nonaccrual status in the third quarter. The combined effect of all nonaccrual activity resulted in a net addition to nonaccrual loans in the amount of $4,570,000 and a reversal of approximately $189,000 of interest income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. This action did not materially change our allowance for loan losses, as the exposure in these relationships had been identified in prior periods. However, the additional nonaccrual loans have significantly increased our nonearning assets, which will continue to have a financial impact to the Bank in the form of foregone interest income until the loans are removed from nonaccrual status. A loan is removed from nonaccrual status when it is deemed a loss and appropriately charged to the allowance or when it begins performing consistently according to contractual terms.
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. This does not mean that we will not recover much of or all the principal balance due. In most cases, we have a secured interest in collateral, such as real property or equipment. Sales of the collateral will not always cover the full loan amount, but it should offset much of this risk. We will continue to manage our lending portfolio proactively.
Impaired loans amounted to $18,486,752 at September 30, 2009 compared to $6,656,016 at December 31, 2008. The review of our loan portfolio in the third quarter of 2009 identified additional credits as impaired, mildly increasing the overall balance of impaired loans from $17,907,116 at June 30, 2009. The worst economic recession in decades has affected borrowers’ abilities to repay loans on time. The specific reserve component of the allowance for loan losses was $87,000 below the December 31, 2008 balance. At September 30, 2009 $1,174,000 of the $3,494,000 total allowance for loan losses was allocated for the loss exposure related to impaired loans. The decrease in loss exposure at September 30, 2009 occurred following the loss recognition of certain loans with specific reserves and an updated calculation of loss exposure after obtaining current appraisals on collateral securing a significant number of impaired loans in the portfolio. Management will continue to monitor the performance of loan repayments by borrowers who may be unable to pay according to contractual terms and take appropriate action, including identifying loss exposure and allocating specific reserves, when deemed necessary.
17
Non-Performing Assets, continued
The Bank has developed, maintains, and documents a comprehensive, systematic, and consistently applied process to determine the amount of the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb estimated credit losses within the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management believes to be adequate to absorb losses. Some of the factors that management considers in determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses are: an evaluation of the current loan portfolio, an analysis of impaired loans, identification of troubled debt restructurings, identified loan problems, individually reviewed loans, past loss experience applied to categories of risk-similar loan pools, the loan volume outstanding, the present and expected economic conditions in general, and in particular, how such conditions relate to the market areas that the Bank serves, industry analysis, concentration analysis, and other qualitative or environmental factors such as the effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting practices, experience, ability, depth of lending management and staff, and trends with the loan portoflio. Bank regulators also routinely review the Bank’s loans and other assets to assess their quality. On an annual basis, the Bank engages an independent third party review of our loan portfolio to validate our internal risk ratings and to provide an additional assessment of asset quality. This review further strenghtens our loan grading process and ultimately provides additional quantification to our allowance for loan losses model. Credits deemed uncollectible are charged to the allowance. Provisions for loan losses and recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by a management committee and is based upon our periodic review of factors such as identified and calculated loss exposure on impaired loans, the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, specific adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions and environmental factors. The adequacy of the allowance is determined by analysis of the three different factors known as the specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component addresses impaired 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. The qualitative factors include external risk factors that management believes affect the overall lending environment including levels and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans, our regulators’ assessment of asset quality, levels and trends in charge-offs and recoveries, trends in volume and terms to or from higher-risk loans, effects of changes in risk selection, underwriting practices and loan exceptions, 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.
The evaluation process is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to revisions as more information becomes available. Therefore, management continually reevaluates the results and reconfirms the process on a quarterly basis to ensure the adequacy of the loan loss reserve and to maintain it at a level sufficient to absorb estimated credit losses within in the loan portfolio.
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, 2009, the Bank’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted average assets) was 10.61% compared to 10.47% at December 31, 2008. The Company’s risk-based ratio (Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted average assets) was 10.64% at September 30, 2009 and 10.51% at December 31, 2008. Each of these ratios exceeded the required regulatory minimum ratio of 4.0%.
18
Capital Requirements, continued
At September 30, 2009, the Bank’s total risk based capital ratio (total risk based capital divided by total risk-weighted assets) was 11.86% compared to 11.72% at December 31, 2008. The Company’s total risk based capital ratio (total risk based capital divided by total risk-weighted assets) was 11.89% at September 30, 2009 compared to 11.76% at December 31, 2008. Each of these ratios exceeded the required regulatory minimum leverage ratio of 8.0%.
At September 30, 2009, the Bank’s leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average assets) was 8.96% compared to 9.36% at December 31, 2008. At September 30, 2009, the Company’s leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average assets) was 8.96% compared to 9.34% at December 31, 2008. Each of these ratios exceeded the required regulatory minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%.
Management believes, as of September 30, 2009, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject.
Liquidity
One of the principal goals of the Bank’s asset and liability management strategy is to maintain adequate 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, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008. Federal fund lines available from correspondent banks totaled $23,000,000 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. There was no balance outstanding on these lines at September 30, 2009, and $1,113,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2008.
The secondary liquidity source for both short-term and long-term borrowings consists of a secured line of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank. During the third quarter, the secured line was decreased by $1,200,000 to $11,300,000 following a routine Federal Home Loan Bank audit of eligible collateral. 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. At September 30, 2009, a $5,000,000 letter of credit in favor of the Commonwealth of Virginia – Treasury Board, to secure public deposits, was reserved from this line of credit, leaving approximately $6,300,000 of available credit. With a 110% collateral pledging requirement, this would leave the Company $5,700,000 for secondary liquidity needs. No balance was outstanding on this line at September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008.
In the first quarter of 2009, the Bank established a $1,000,000 Discount Window facility at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as part of its Contingency Liquidity Plan. No balance was outstanding on this line at September 30, 2009.
During the third quarter of 2009, the Bank completed the process of becoming a participating institution in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”). CDARS is a technology based service that the Bank can incorporate into its traditional product offering. The service uses a web based application that allows participating institutions across the country to swap, sell, or buy deposits from other members. The CDARS program can be used to attract new deposits, diversify our funding sources, and manage liquidity.
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 short-term to maturity which provides 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 steps described above, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.

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. These forward-looking statements contain the Company’s expectations, plans, future financial performance, and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by phrases such as “the Company expects,” “the Company believes” or words of similar import. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks including, but not limited to, changes in general economic and business conditions, interest rate fluctuations, competition within and from outside the banking industry, new products and services in the banking industry, risk inherent in making loans such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values, problems with technology utilized by the Company, changing trends in customer profiles and changes in laws and regulations applicable to the Company. Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
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.
