Changes in market interest rates and changes in credit spreads may result in temporary impairment or unrealized losses, as the fair value of securities will fluctuate in response to these market factors. Of the securities in a net unrealized loss position longer than 12 months as of September 30, 2010, $5.2 million of the total $5.7 million unrealized loss is in the corporate and other debt category where we have a number of corporate debt securities issued by companies within the financial sector, with investment grade credit ratings, and other pooled trust preferred securities where the underlying instruments are commercial bank or insurance company trust preferred issues. Due to the multitude of economic issues, and the resulting general market unrest, most all of the financial sector debt instruments have expe rienced historical lows in their market value. While this is not considered a permanent condition, we cannot predict with any degree of accuracy when prices will return to historical levels.
The primary relevant factors considered by us in our evaluation to determine if the impairment is other than temporary are, the relationship of current market interest rates as compared to the fixed coupon rate of the securities, credit risk (all the issuers of the securities had investment grade credit ratings or better at the time the securities were purchased), the continued ability to maintain payment of the dividend or coupon, continuation as a going concern, adverse market factors, and any other significant adverse factors. The compilation of these factors leads to a determination that if the overall evidence suggests that we can recover substantially all of our entire investment in the securities within a reasonable period of time, the impairment is considered temporary. After such an analysis, we decided to record an Other Than Te mporary Impairment (OTTI) related to a Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO) security investment of $87 thousand during the first nine months of 2010.

Carrying amounts and approximate market value of our securities classified as held to maturity at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows:

As of September 30, 2010, we had four pooled trust preferred securities that were deemed to be temporarily impaired based on a present value analysis of expected future cash flows.

(1) Excess subordination is the difference between the remaining performing collateral and the amount of bonds outstanding that are otherwise the same and senior to the class we own. Negative excess subordination indicates there is not enough performing collateral in the pool to cover the outstanding balance of all classes senior to those we own.
(2) A break in yield for a given class means that defaults/deferrals have reached such a level that the class would not receive all of its contractual cash flows (principal and interest) by maturity (so that it is not just a temporary interest shortfall, but an actual loss in yield on the investment). This represents additional defaults beyond those assumed in our cash flow modeling.
(3) Pre-tax.
The Company’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock totaled $3.3 million at September 30, 2010. FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment and as a restricted investment security, which is carried at cost, because there is no market for the stock, other than the FHLBs or member institutions. Therefore, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Despite the FHLB’s temporary suspension of repurchases of excess capital stock in 2010, the Company does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2010 and no impairment has been recognized. FHLB stock is included with other assets on the balance sheet and is not a part of the available for sale securities portfolio.

Interest income recognized on impaired loans | | $ | 125 | | | $ | 160 | |
No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with our impaired loans. Impaired loans include loans that are on non-accrual but may also include loans that are performing and paying per the
terms of the loan agreement. We have identified these loans as impaired because the fair value of the collateral supporting the loan may be less than the loan amount even though the loan is current. At the time that the loan becomes ninety days past due, we will put the loan on non-accrual.
As of September 30, 2010 loans classified as troubled debt restructurings and included in impaired loans in the disclosure above totaled $3.6 million. There were no troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2009.

Note 5. Stock-Based Compensation
We have a Stock Plan that provides for the grant of Incentive Stock Options up to a maximum of 341,196 shares of common stock of which 157,948 shares have not been issued. This Plan was adopted to foster and promote our long-term growth and financial success by assisting in recruiting and retaining directors and key employees by enabling individuals who contribute significantly to participate in our future success and to align their interests with ours. The options were granted at the market value on the date of each grant. The maximum term of the options is ten years. We have not issued new options, and no expense has been recognized, since 2007.
The following table presents a summary of our options under the Plan at September 30, 2010:
| | Number of Shares | | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1) | |

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements
As required by FASB ASC Topic 820, we must record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value and to determine fair value disclosures. Topic 820 clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
ASC 820-10-35 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on these two types of inputs are as follows:
| Level 1: | Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
| Level 2: | Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market. |
| Level 3: | Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market. |
The following describes the valuation techniques used by us to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:
Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or substantially similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2). The Company uses an independent valuation firm that specializes in valuing debt securities (Level 3). The indepen dent firm evaluates all relevant credit and structural aspects of each debt security, determining appropriate performance assumptions and performing discounted cash flow analysis. The following topics are covered in their evaluation:
· | Detailed credit and structural evaluation for each piece of collateral in the debt security; |
· | Collateral performance projections for each piece of collateral in the debt security; |
· | Terms of the debt security structure; and |
· | Discounted cash flow modeling. |
The following table presents the balances of our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
The following describes the valuation techniques used by us to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:
Other real estate owned: Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held-for-sale and are initially recorded at the lesser of book value or fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by us and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.
Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. These loans
currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market and SBS certificates held pending being pooled into an SBA security. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans and SBA certificates using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, we record any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within other operating income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Impaired Loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by a n independent, licensed appraiser outside of us using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table summarizes our assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period.

ASC 820-10-50 “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company and subsidiary in estimating the fair value of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate their fair values.
Investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities): Fair values for investment 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 or substantially similar instruments.
Mortgage and SBA loans held for sale: The carrying amount of loans held for sale approximate their 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 values. The fair values for other loans are determined using estimated future cash flows, discounted at the interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality.
Accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximate their fair values.
Deposit liabilities: The fair values of demand deposits equal their carrying amounts which represents the amount payable on demand. The carrying amounts for variable-rate fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate 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 expected maturities on time deposits.
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements: The carrying amounts for federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements approximate their fair values.
FHLB borrowings: The fair value of FHLB borrowings is estimated by discounting its future cash flows using net rates offered for similar borrowings.
Capital trust preferred securities: The carrying amount of the capital trust preferred securities approximates their fair values.
The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial assets and liabilities at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had outstanding standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit. These off-balance sheet financial instruments are generally exercisable at the market rate prevailing at the date the underlying transaction will be completed, and, therefore, they were deemed to have an immaterial affect on the current fair market value.
Note 7. Income Taxes
The Company incurred a net loss of $12.1 million and $13.2 million for the three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2010. This loss resulted, in part, from dramatic increases in non-performing assets. Additionally, due to these recent significant losses, the Company was unable to ascertain it would generate sufficient net income in the near term to realize its deferred tax assets, and
therefore, established a deferred tax valuation allowance during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Note 8. Other Operating Expenses
The following table summarizes the details of other operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

Note 9. Deferral of Dividends on Preferred Stock and Deferral of Interest on Capital Trust Preferred Securities
On February 12, 2010, the Company notified the U.S. Department of the Treasury that the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the payment of the quarterly cash dividend of $142 thousand due during the first quarter of 2010, and subsequent quarterly payments on the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, should be deferred. The total arrearage on such preferred stock as of September 30, 2010 is $426 thousand.
On March 4, 2010 the Company notified U.S. Bank, National Association that pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Indenture dated December 17, 2003 among Central Virginia Bankshares, Inc. as Issuer and U.S. Bank, National Association, as Trustee for the $5,155,000 Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due 2033, (CUSIP 155793AA0), the Board of Directors of Central Virginia Bankshares, Inc. had determined to defer the regular quarterly Interest Payments on such Debentures, effective March 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2010 the total arrearage on such interest payments is $126 thousand.
Note 10. Regulatory Matters
Over the past twenty-four months, the Company’s capital position has been negatively impacted by deteriorating economic conditions that in turn has caused losses in its investment and loan portfolios. As a result of a recently concluded examination by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, the Company has entered into a written agreement with the Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve. The written agreement requires the Company to significantly exceed the capital level required to be classified as “well capitalized.” It also provides that the Company shall:
● | submit written plans to the Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve to strengthen corporate governance and board and management structure; |
● | strengthen board oversight of the management and operations of the Company; |
● | strengthen credit risk management and administration; |
● | establish ongoing independent review and grading of the Company’s loan portfolio; enhance |
● | internal audit processes; |
● | review and revise our methodology for determining the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) and maintain an adequate ALLL; |
● | maintain sufficient capital; |
● | establish a revised contingency funding plan; |
● | establish a revised investment policy; and |
● | improve the Company’s earnings and overall condition. |
The written agreement also restricts the payment of dividends and any payments on trust preferred securities or subordinated debt, and any reduction in capital or the purchase or redemption of stock without the prior approval of the Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve.
ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, including the Financial Review and the Financial Statements and related Notes, has forward-looking statements, which may include forecasts of our financial results and condition, expectations for our operations and business, and our assumptions for those forecasts and expectations. Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements. Actual results might differ materially from our forecasts and expectations due to several factors. Some of these factors are described in the Financial Review and in the Financial Statements and related Notes. For a discussion of other factors, refer to the “Risk Factors” section in this Report, and to the “Risk Factors” and “Regulation and Supervision” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009 (2009 Form 10-K/A), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Company and the Bank. Central Virginia Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Virginia corporation on March 7, 1986, solely to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Central Virginia Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank was incorporated on June 1, 1972 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and, since opening for business on September 17, 1973, its main and administrative office had been located on U.S. Route 60 at Flat Rock, in Powhatan County, Virginia. When we refer to “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” in this Report, we mean Central Virginia Bankshares, Inc. (consolidated). When we refer to “Central Virginia Bank” or “the Bank”, w e mean Central Virginia Bank (subsidiary).
Our website is www.centralvabank.com and contains information relating to it and its business. We make available free of charge through our website our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to these documents as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of the Company’s Audit Committee Charter, Nominating Committee Charter, Compensation Committee Charter and Code of Conduct are included on our website and are available to the public.
Principal Market Area. Our primary service areas are Powhatan and Cumberland Counties, eastern Goochland County and western Chesterfield and western Henrico Counties. Our present intention is to continue our activities in our current market area which we consider to be an attractive and desirable area in which to operate.
Banking Services. Our principal business is to attract deposits and to loan or invest those deposits on profitable terms. We engage in a general community and commercial banking business, targeting the banking needs of individuals and small to medium sized businesses in our primary service area. We offer all traditional loan and deposit banking services as well as newer services such as Internet banking, telephone banking, and debit cards. In addition, we offer other ancillary services such as the sales of non-deposit investment products through a partnership with Infinex, Inc. a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC. We make term loans, both alone and in conjunction with other banks or governmental agencies. We also offer other related services , such as ATMs, travelers’ checks, safe deposit boxes, deposit transfer, notary public, escrow, drive-in facilities and other customary banking services. Our lending policies, deposit products and related services are intended to meet the needs of individuals and businesses in our market area.
Our plan of operation for future periods is to continue to operate as a community bank and to focus our lending and deposit activities in our primary service area. As our primary service area continues to shift
from rural to suburban in nature, we will compete aggressively for customers through our traditional personal service and hours of operation. We will also emphasize the origination of residential mortgages and construction loans as the area becomes more developed. Consistent with our focus on providing community based financial services, we do not plan to diversify our loan portfolio geographically by making significant loans outside of our primary service area. While we and our borrowers are directly affected by the economic conditions and the prevailing real estate market in the area, we are better able to monitor the financial condition of our borrowers by concentrating our lending activities in our primary service area. We will continue to evaluate the feasibility of entering into other markets as opportunities become available.
Written Agreement with the Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve
Over the past twenty-four months, our capital position has been negatively impacted by deteriorating economic conditions that in turn has caused losses in our investment and loan portfolios. As a result of a recently concluded examination by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, we have entered into a written agreement with the Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve. The written agreement requires us to significantly exceed the capital level required to be classified as “well capitalized.” It also provides that we shall:
● | submit written plans to the Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve to strengthen corporate governance and board and management structure; |
● | strengthen board oversight of the management and operations of Central Virginia Bank; |
● | strengthen credit risk management and administration; |
● | establish ongoing independent review and grading of our loan portfolio; enhance internal audit processes; |
● | review and revise our methodology for determining the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) and maintain an adequate ALLL; |
● | maintain sufficient capital; |
● | establish a revised contingency funding plan; |
● | establish a revised investment policy; and |
● | improve our earnings and overall condition. |
The written agreement also restricts the payment of dividends and any payments on trust preferred securities or subordinated debt, and any reduction in capital or the purchase or redemption of stock without the prior approval of the Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve.
Current Environment
Beginning in the summer of 2007, significant adverse changes in financial market conditions resulted in a deleveraging of the entire global financial system. As part of this process, residential and commercial mortgage markets in the United States have experienced a variety of difficulties including loan defaults, credit losses and reduced liquidity. In response to these unprecedented events, the U.S. Government has taken a number of actions to improve stability in the financial markets and encourage lending. One such program is the Troubled Assets Relief Program, or TARP.
On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (or the Dodd-Frank Act). The Dodd-Frank Act provides for new regulations on financial institutions and creates new supervisory and advisory bodies, including the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Dodd-Frank Act tasks many agencies with issuing a variety of new regulations, including rules related to mortgage origination and servicing, securitization and derivatives. As the Dodd
Frank Act has only recently been enacted and because a significant number of regulations have yet to be proposed, it is not possible for us to predict how the Dodd-Frank Act will impact our business.
On February 12, 2010, we notified the U.S. Department of the Treasury that our Board of Directors determined that the payment of the quarterly cash dividend of $142 thousand due during the first quarter of 2010, and subsequent quarterly payments on the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, should be deferred. The total arrearage on such preferred stock as of September 30, 2010 is $426 thousand.
Impact of Income Tax Valuation
The Company determined that a $12.1 million valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets should be recognized as of September 30, 2010. The Company decided to establish a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset because it is uncertain when it will realize this asset.
Factors Impacting Our Operating Results
In addition to the prevailing market conditions, we expect that the results of our operations will be affected by a number of factors and will primarily depend on, among other things, the level of our net interest income, the market value of our assets and the supply of, and demand for, commercial and residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate debt, mortgage-backed securities and other financial assets in the marketplace. Our net interest income includes the actual payments we receive and is also impacted by the level of loans that are not accruing interest due to their delinquency level. Our net interest income varies over time, primarily as a result of changes in interest rates, volume and levels of interest earning assets and interest paying deposits and liabilities. Interest rates vary accordin g to the type of asset, conditions in the financial markets, credit worthiness of our borrowers, competition and other factors, none of which can be predicted with any certainty. Our operating results may also be impacted by credit losses in excess of the amounts that we have provided for at September 30, 2010.
Credit Risk. We may be exposed to various levels of credit risk, depending on the nature of our underlying assets. Our Loan Committee will approve and monitor credit risk and other risks associated with our loan portfolio and our Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) will approve and monitor credit risk associated with our investment portfolio. Our Board of Directors monitors credit risk through their monthly Board of Directors meetings.
Amount of Earning Assets. The amount of our earning assets, as measured by the aggregate unpaid principal balance of our loan and our investment portfolios, is a key revenue driver. During 2010, we have strategically decreased the balances of our investment portfolio and borrowings and certificates of deposits in order to improve our capital position. Generally, as the size of our earning assets decrease, the amount of interest income we receive decreases. The reduction in earning assets also helps to lower interest expense as we incur less interest expense to finance the earning assets. However, the decline in our interest income has been greater than the decrease in our interest expense which, in total, reduces our net interest income.
Changes in Market Interest Rates. With respect to our business operations, increases in interest rates, in general, may over time cause:
● | the interest expense associated with our borrowings to increase; |
● | the value of our fixed rate investment securities to decline; |
● | the interest expense associated with our variable rate deposits to increase; |
● | coupons on our variable rate loans to reset, although on a delayed basis, to higher interest rates to the extent allowed by individual loan floors and caps; and |
● | to the extent applicable under the terms of our assets, prepayments on our mortgage loan portfolio |
● | and mortgage-backed securities to slow thus increasing the duration of these assets. |
Conversely, decreases in interest rates, in general, may over time cause:
● | to the extent applicable under the terms of our assets, prepayments on our mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities to increase thus shortening the duration of these assets; |
● | the interest expense associated with our variable rate deposits and borrowings to decrease; |
● | the value of our fixed rate investment securities to increase; and |
● | coupons on our adjustable-rate loans to reset, although on a delayed basis, to lower interest rates subject to interest rate floors on the individual loan. |
Since changes in interest rates may significantly affect our activities, our operating results depend, in large part, upon our ability to effectively manage interest rate risks.
Summary Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we reported a loss of $12.1 million. This compares to a loss of $1.1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The decline in net income is $11.0 million when compared to earnings in the third quarter of 2009. The decrease is primarily due to increased levels of provision for loan losses recorded in the third quarter of 2010 and the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the third quarter of 2010. Reported net income, net of $161 thousand in accrued dividends and accretion of discount on preferred stock, resulted in a net loss available to common shareholders of $12.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $1.2 mi llion for the same quarter of the previous year. Basic and diluted loss per share decreased $4.23 to ($4.69) for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $(0.46) for the comparable period 2009. The loss on average assets for the third quarter 2010 was (11.01)% versus (0.78)% for the third quarter of 2009. The loss on shareholders’ equity was (174.10)% compared to (14.25)% in the third quarter of 2009.
For the year to date 2010, we reported a loss of $13.2 million. This compares to a loss of $885 thousand for the same period in 2009. The decline in net income is $12.3 million when compared to year to date earnings in 2009. The decrease is primarily due to higher levels of provision for loan losses recorded in 2010 compared to 2009 and the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the third quarter of 2010. Reported net income, net of $481 thousand in accrued dividends and accretion of discount on preferred stock, resulted in a net loss available to common shareholders of $13.6 million for the year to date 2010 compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $885 thousand for the first nine months of 2009. Basic and diluted loss per share decreased $4 .70 to ($5.20) for the year to date 2010 from $(0.50) for the comparable period 2009. The loss on average assets for the year to date 2010 was (3.84)% versus (0.22)% for the same period 2009. The loss on shareholders’ equity was (62.84)% for the year to date 2010 compared to (4.03)% in the same period 2009.
Revenue, the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, of $4.1 million in third quarter 2010 was $300 thousand lower than the $4.4 million earned in the third quarter 2009. The largest contributor to this decrease was lower net interest income of $0.5 million offset by a decline in realized losses on available for sale securities of $0.3 million. Our net interest margin remained flat at 3.30% in the third quarter 2010 and the third quarter 2009.
Revenue of $12.5 million for the year to date 2010 was $600 thousand lower compared with the same period in 2009. The largest contributor to this decrease was lower net interest income of $0.7 million. Our net interest margin improved to 3.08% for the year to date 2010 compared to 2.95% for the same period in 2009.
Our allowance for loan losses was $10.5 million at September 30, 2010, compared with $10.8 million at
December 31, 2009, and we believe was adequate for losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2010, including both performing and non-performing loans. At September 30, 2010, total assets declined $49.5 million or 10.5% to $423.7 million from $473.2 million at December 31, 2009. We continue to reduce our liabilities as total liabilities at September 30, 2010 declined $39.3 million or 8.8% to $407.7 million from $447.0 million at December 31, 2009. Total stockholders’ equity decreased $10.2 million to $16.0 million at September 30, 2010 from $26.2 million at December 31, 2009.
Our financial results for the third quarter 2010 compared to the third quarter 2009 included the following:
Our net interest income in the third quarter 2010 was $3.2 million. Our net interest margin in the third quarter 2010 remained flat at 3.30% compared to the third quarter 2009. Total interest income for the quarter was $5.3 million while total interest expense was $2.1 million. Interest income was lower by 21.3% from a year earlier due to a reduction in interest on our investment securities of $672 thousand compared to the third quarter of 2009 and $756 thousand in lower earnings from our loan portfolio due to having $24.8 million in non-accrual loans. Our interest expense declined by 30.9% from the prior year’s third quarter due primarily to lower interest rates on deposits and a $25.2 million reduction in the average balance of certificate of deposits partially offset by an increase in the average balance of demand and savings deposits, from the third quarter 2009.
Non-interest income of $0.9 million increased 31.1%, or $0.2 million from the prior year’s third quarter total of $0.7 million. This increase was due primarily to a decline in our realized losses on the sale of securities available for sale.
Total non-interest expense for the third quarter 2010 was $3.6 million, a decrease of 32.1% or $1.7 million as compared to $5.3 million last year. The decrease was due primarily to lower Other Than Temporary Impairment (OTTI) charges on our investment portfolio of $2.2 million offset partially by higher OREO valuation expenses of $233 thousand, and professional fees of $210 thousand incurred primarily in connection with our written agreement.
We are continuing our efforts to reduce all controllable expenses while increasing categories of non-interest income with a goal of improving our efficiency ratio in future quarters.
For the third quarter 2010, $1.9 million was added to the allowance for loan losses, compared to the same period in 2009, when $1.0 million was added to the allowance. Our charge-offs for the third quarter 2010 were $1.8 million compared to $0.1 million for the comparable period in 2009. We believe that a reserve of 3.86% of total loans, at September 30, 2010 was sufficient to absorb any potential future losses. However, we will adjust our reserves in response to changes in the market and our reserve percentage may change. The allowance for loan losses now represents 32.6% of quarter-end non-performing assets, compared to 24.3% in the third quarter of the prior year. During the third quarter we also increased our valuation reserve for other real estate totaling $203 thousand. The total of other real estate decreased by $0.9 mil lion from the preceding quarter, net of the valuation allowance.
Our financial results for the nine months ending September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ending September 30, 2009 included the following:
Our year-to-date 2010 net interest income was $9.5 million compared to $10.1 million for year-to-date 2009. The lower interest rate environment helped our net interest margin for the first half of 2010, resulting in a net interest margin of 3.08% an increase of 13 basis points from 2.95% for the comparable period of 2009. Total interest income for year-to-date 2010 was $16.3 million while total interest expense was $6.9 million. Interest income was lower by 17.2% from a year earlier due to a reduction in interest income on our investment securities of $2.0 million compared to the same period of 2009 and $1.4
million in lower interest income on our loan portfolio due primarily from having higher balances of non-accrual loans. Our interest expense declined by 28.5% from the prior year’s first nine months due primarily to $2.3 million in lower interest expense on deposits in addition to $447 thousand in lower interest expense from borrowings.
Non-interest income of $3.0 million remained unchanged from the prior year’s year-to-date total of $3.0 million.
Total non-interest expense for year-to-date 2010 was $10.9 million, a decrease of 15.50% or $2.0 million as compared to $12.9 million last year. The decrease was due primarily to lower OTTI charges on our investment portfolio offset partially by higher OREO valuation expenses, and professional fees incurred primarily in connection with our written agreement with the Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve.
For year-to-date 2010, we added $5.1 million to the allowance for loan losses, compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2009. This increase of $3.2 million is due to a higher balance of non-performing loans at September 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009. Our charge-offs were $5.7 million for the first nine months of 2010 compared to $0.9 million for the comparable period in 2009. During the first nine months of 2010 we also increased our valuation reserve for other real estate totaling $789 thousand as compared to zero during the comparable period in 2009.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. For example, we may use historical loss factors as one of the many factors and estimates utilized in determining the inherent losses that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ substantially from the historical factors that we use. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previousl y acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would affect our transactions could change.
Allowance for loan losses
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe we will not be able to fully collect on the loan. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by us and is based upon our periodic review of the performance of our loans. We look at the historical experience and the nature and volume of our loan portfolio. Additionally, we look at macro and micro economic events and adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay. Using various valuation techniques such as appraisals and discounted cash flow analysis we estimate the value of any underlying collateral. We have a loan loss allowance model that assists us in properly determining the adequate reserve on our loan portfolio. The results of this model are approved monthly by our Chief Executive and Chief Financial officers. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are suscepti ble to significant revision as more information becomes available.
Our allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that we classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. The general component covers
non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for various qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect our estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events; it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. We consider certain factors in determining impairment including payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls are not classified as impaired. We determine the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall i n relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, we do not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.
EARNINGS PERFORMANCE
NET INTEREST INCOME
Our net interest income was $3.2 million and $9.5 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2010 and first nine months of 2010. Our net interest income was $3.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively for the same periods of 2009; representing a decrease of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. These decreases were due primarily to a decline in interest income earned on both our loan and investment portfolios as a result of having an increase in non-accrual loans, offset by declines in our interest expense paid on interest paying deposits.
Our net interest margin is a measure of our net interest income performance. It represents the difference between interest income, including net loan fees earned, and interest expense, reflected as a percentage of average interest earning assets. Our net interest margin for the third quarter of 2010 was 3.30% unchanged from 2009. The net interest margin for the first nine months of 2010 was 3.08% compared to 2.95% for the comparable period in 2009. Our increase in net interest margin was due primarily to a reduction in our higher interest cost borrowings and a reduction in our time deposits.
Our total interest income was $5.3 million and $16.3 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively, down from $6.7 million and $19.7 million, respectively from a year ago due to the following:
Loan portfolio
● | Interest and fees on loans was $4.2 million and $12.4 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively, down from $4.9 million and $13.8 million a year ago. The decrease was due to a decline in loans of $20.2 million, or 6.91%, from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010, as well as an increase in non-accrual loans. |
● | During the third quarter of 2010, our average loans totaled $278.5 million, a decrease of $22.0 million or 7.3% from $300.5 million in the third quarter of 2009. |
● | During the first nine months of 2010, our average loans totaled $285.6 million, a decrease of $13.2 million or 4.4% from $298.8 million in the first nine months of 2009. |
● | Our fully taxable equivalent annualized yield on loans decreased to 5.99% for the third quarter 2010 from 6.56% in the comparable quarter of 2009 due primarily to an increase in non-performing loans and the declining rate environment. |
● | Our fully taxable equivalent annualized yield on loans decreased to 5.80% for the first nine months of 2010 from 6.16% in the comparable period of 2009. |
Securities portfolio
● | Interest on securities was $1.2 million and $4.1 million on a tax equivalent basis for the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively, down from $1.9 million and $6.2 million a year ago. |
● | Our average investment securities totaled $104.9 million in the third quarter of 2010, a decrease of $49.1 million or 31.9% from $154.0 million in the third quarter of 2009. |
● | Our average investment securities totaled $119.7 million in the first nine months of 2010, a decrease of $43.0 million or 26.4% from $162.7 million in the first nine months of 2009. |
● | Our investment securities in the third quarter of 2010 yielded 4.42%, compared to 4.86% in the third quarter of 2009 as security yields have been affected by the declining rate environment as reinvestment of $10.7 million in the sales, calls or maturities of securities during the third quarter 2010 have been at lower yields, and the reduction in higher yielding assets from the OTTI write-down of various security investments in 2009. |
● | Our fully taxable equivalent annualized yield on securities decreased to 4.53% for the first nine months of 2010 from 5.08% in the comparable period of 2009. |
Our average interest earning assets totaled $395.8 million in the third quarter of 2010, a decrease of $66.0 million or 14.3% from $461.8 million in the third quarter of 2009. Our tax-equivalent yield on total interest earning assets dropped to 5.39% in the third quarter 2010 from 5.89% in the same quarter 2009 resulting in a decrease of $1.4 million in total interest income for the third quarter 2010.
Our total interest expense was $2.1 million and $6.9 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively, down from $3.0 million and $9.6 million, respectively from a year ago due to the following:
Deposits
● | Our interest expense on deposits was $1.6 million and $5.5 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively down from $2.5 million and $7.8 million a year ago due to a combination of lower balances on our higher paying certificate of deposit accounts and a decrease in interest rates paid on interest bearing deposit, savings accounts, and time deposits. |
● | Our total average deposits were $322.9 million for the third quarter 2010, a decrease of $17.1 million or 5.0% from $340.0 million for the third quarter 2009. The decline was primarily in our certificate of deposits offset by growth in interest paying demand accounts and savings accounts. |
● | Our total average deposits were $335.0 million for the first nine months of 2010, an increase of $0.6 million or less than 1% from $334.4 million for the first nine months of 2009. The increase was primarily due to the growth in our interest paying demand accounts and savings accounts offset by a decline in our certificate of deposits. |
● | Our rate paid on deposits for the third quarter 2010 was 2.01% down from 2.93% for the third quarter 2009 as the impact of the shift in our deposit mix discussed above took effect and also due to the downward repricing of many of our deposits and an overall decline in rates that we offer. |
● | Our rate paid on deposits for the first nine months of 2010 was 2.18% down from 3.09% for the first nine months of 2009. |
Borrowings
● | Interest on borrowings was $0.4 million and $1.4 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively down from $0.5 million and $1.8 million a year ago due to lower short-term borrowings necessary to fund our assets due to declining asset balances. |
● | Our average balance on borrowings for the third quarter 2010 was $48.3 million down from $78.0 million for the third quarter 2009, representing a $29.7 million or 38.1% decline in average borrowings. |
● | Our average balance on borrowings for the first nine months of 2010 was $54.0 million down from $94.5 million for the first nine months of 2009, representing a $40.5 million or 42.9% decline in average borrowings. |
● | Our average interest rate on borrowings for the third quarter of 2010 was 3.74% up from 2.62% for the third quarter 2009 because we had lower balances outstanding on our overnight FHLB advances and federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, which carry the lowest cost of funds rate. |
● | Our average rate on borrowings for the first nine months of 2010 was 3.42% up from 2.59% for the first nine months of 2009 because we had lower balances outstanding on our overnight FHLB advances and federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, which carry the lowest cost of funds rate. |
The yield on our interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.23% in the third quarter 2010 compared to 2.87% in the third quarter 2009. Our average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $46.8 million or 11.2% to $371.2 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $418.0 million in the third quarter of 2009.
The following table sets forth our average interest earning assets (on a taxable equivalent basis) and our average interest bearing liabilities, the average yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities, and our net interest margin, for the periods indicated.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income of $0.9 million increased 28.6%, or $0.2 million from the prior year’s third quarter total of $0.7 million. This increase was due primarily to a decline in our realized losses on the sale of securities available for sale. Third quarter 2010 non-interest income included:
● | Deposit fees and charges, down $63 thousand from a year ago. |
● | Bank card fees, which are a component of other service charges, commissions and fees, of $151 thousand, up 6% year over year, due to higher transaction volumes and to a lesser extent growth in outstanding accounts. |
● | Increase in cash surrender value by $8 thousand to $116 thousand compared to last year due to slightly higher actuarial gains on our bank owned life insurance policies. |
● | Secondary mortgage market loan fees, down $30 thousand from a year ago reflecting lower origination and sale of our conforming residential mortgage loans. |
● | Decline of $271 thousand in realized losses on the sale of securities available for sale from last year due to fewer sales of securities in a loss position. |
Year to date 2010 non-interest income of $3.0 million decreased less than 1%, or $26 thousand from the first nine months of 2009. Year to date 2010 non-interest income included:
● | Deposit fees and charges, flat from a year ago. |
● | Bank card fees, of $448 thousand, up 13.99% year over year, due to higher transaction volumes and to a lesser extent growth in outstanding accounts. |
● | Cash surrender value was flat from a year ago. |
● | Secondary mortgage market loan fees, down $63 thousand from a year ago reflecting lower origination and sale of our conforming residential mortgage loans. |
● | Increase of $61 thousand in realized gains on the sale of securities available for sale from last year due to fewer sales of securities in a loss position. |
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
Total non-interest expense for the third quarter 2010 was $3.6 million, a decrease of 32.08% or $1.7 million as compared to $5.3 million last year. Third quarter non-interest expense included:
● | Salaries and benefits totaled $1.2 million in the third quarter, a decrease of $0.4 million or 25% from $1.6 million last year to reflect our focus on efficiencies in our operations. |
● | FDIC insurance expense increased $201 thousand dollars from last year due primarily to increases in premium charged by the FDIC on our deposits. We expect that FDIC insurance expense may continue at a higher level for the foreseeable future. |
● | Loss on devaluation of other real estate owned increased $233 thousand compared to last year due to the adjustment to fair value of certain of the bank’s foreclosed properties. |
● | Legal, professional and consulting fees totaled $465 thousand in the third quarter, an increase of $347 thousand from last year reflecting incremental costs associated with addressing regulatory issues related to our written agreement with the Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve. |
● | OTTI charges on our investment securities portfolio was zero, a decrease of $2.2 million from last year. We do not expect significant OTTI charges during 2010. |
Total non-interest expense for year to date 2010 was $10.9 million, a decrease of 15.50% or $2.0 million as compared to $12.9 million last year. Year to date 2010 non-interest expense included:
● | Salaries and benefits totaled $4.3 million, a decrease of $0.6 million or 12.24% from $4.9 million last year to reflect our focus on efficiencies in our operations. |
● | FDIC insurance expense was up $287 thousand from last year as a result of substantially higher premium rates coupled with the growth in average deposits. We expect that FDIC insurance expense may continue at a higher level for the foreseeable future. |
● | Loss on devaluation of other real estate owned increased $789 thousand compared to last year due to the adjustment to fair value of certain of the bank’s foreclosed properties. |
● | Legal, professional and consulting fees totaled $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2010, an increase of $0.6 million from last year reflecting incremental costs associated with addressing regulatory issues related to our written agreement with the Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve. |
● | OTTI charges on our investment securities portfolio was $87 thousand, a decrease of $3.3 million from last year. We do not expect significant OTTI charges during 2010. |
We are continuing our efforts towards reducing all controllable expenses while increasing categories of non-interest income.
INCOME TAXES
We reported income tax expense of $10.7 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to a benefit of $821 thousand in the third quarter of 2009. On a year to date basis, we reported income tax expense of $9.7 million in 2010 compared to an income tax benefit of $740 thousand in 2009. Management assesses the realizability of the deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis, considering both positive and negative evidence in determining whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the gross deferred tax asset would not be realized. At September 30, 2010, management conducted such an analysis and determined that an establishment of a valuation allowance of $12.1 million was prudent given our historical losses. There is no impact on our calculation of Tier One Capital for regulatory purposes given the net deferred tax assets were already excluded from the calculation.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LOAN PORTFOLIO
We are an active residential mortgage and residential construction lender and generally extend commercial loans to small and medium sized businesses within our primary service area. Our commercial lending activity extends across our primary service area of Powhatan, Cumberland, eastern Goochland County, western Chesterfield, and western Henrico Counties. Consistent with our focus on providing community-based financial services, we generally do not attempt to diversify our loan portfolio geographically by making significant amounts of loans to borrowers outside of our primary service area.
The principal economic risk associated with each of the categories of loans in our loan portfolio is the creditworthiness of our borrowers. Within each category, such risk is increased or decreased depending on prevailing economic conditions. The risk associated with real estate mortgage loans and installment loans to individuals varies based upon employment levels, consumer confidence, fluctuations in value of residential real estate and other conditions that affect the ability of consumers to repay indebtedness. The risk associated with commercial, financial and agricultural loans varies based upon the strength and activity of the local economies of our market areas. The risk associated with real estate construction loans varies based upon the supply of and demand for the type of real estate under construction. Many of our real estat e construction loans are for pre-sold or contract homes. Builders are limited as to the number and dollar amount of loans for speculative home construction based on the financial strength of the borrower and the prevailing market conditions. The economy has had an impact on each of our loan categories to varying degrees. Because our real estate loans and commercial loans are primarily based on residential homes, we have seen the decline in residential home sales and values negatively impact our various loan portfolios. We do expect to see resumption of some economic growth in our markets in the future and would expect to see some improvements in the quality of our loan portfolio.
At September 30, 2010, total loans net of unearned income were $272.1 million and had decreased by $20.2 million or 6.9% from December 31, 2009, and had decreased $27.0 million or 9.0% from September 30, 2009. The loan to deposit ratio was 76.7% at September 30, 2010, compared to 75.8% at December 31, 2009 and 79.0% at September 30, 2009. The size of our loan portfolio has been reduced primarily as a result of declining demand of qualified applicants in our marketplace and an increase in charge-offs of $5.9 million.
The table below shows the percentage of our various loan categories as a percentage of our total loans for the respective periods:
| September 30, 2010 | December 31, 2009 | September 30, 2009 |
Real estate related loans | 76.3% | 74.0% | 74.1% |
Consumer loans | 2.7% | 2.9% | 2.9% |
Commercial and industrial loans | 21.0% | 23.1% | 23.0% |
Total | 100% | 100% | 100% |
ASSET QUALITY
Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due, restructured loans, other real estate owned, and other non-performing assets. Non-accrual loans are loans on which interest accruals have been discontinued. Loans which reach non-accrual status may not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent principal and interest has been paid. Restructured loans are loans with respect to which a borrower has been granted a concession on the interest rate or the original repayment terms because of financial difficulties. OREO is real estate acquired through foreclosure. We have no mortgages
within our mortgage loan portfolios that are defined as “sub-prime”.
Our non-performing assets at the end of the third quarter 2010 increased to $32.2 million compared to $19.9 million at the end of the third quarter of the prior year and decreased slightly from $32.5 million for the immediately preceding quarter. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in loans that are on a non-accrual basis. The trajectory of growth in non-performing assets declined in the third quarter as the increase from December 31, 2009 was 8.8% and the decrease from June 30, 2010 was 1.1%. A majority of non-performing and past due loans are secured. Therefore losses, if any, will be lessened by the fair value of the liquidation of the collateral securing the loans.
The following table summarizes our non-performing assets:
| | Sept. 30, 2010 | | | June 30, 2010 | | | Mar. 31, 2010 | | | Dec. 31, 2009 | | | Sept. 30, 2009 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis | | $ | 24,839 | | | $ | 26,164 | | | $ | 24,799 | | | $ | 21,655 | | | $ | 9,058 | |
Loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments and still accruing (not included in non-accrual loans above) | | | 2,167 | | | | 355 | | | | 881 | | | | 2,177 | | | | 4,353 | |
Total non-performing loans | | $ | 27,006 | | | $ | 26,519 | | | $ | 25,680 | | | $ | 23,832 | | | $ | 13,411 | |
Other real estate owned | | | 3,000 | | | | 3,850 | | | | 3,339 | | | | 3,575 | | | | 3,510 | |
Other non-performing assets | | | 2,165 | | | | 2,165 | | | | 2,165 | | | | 2,165 | | | | 2,981 | |
Total non-performing assets | | $ | 32,171 | | | $ | 32,534 | | | $ | 31,184 | | | $ | 29,572 | | | $ | 19,902 | |
As of September 30, 2010 loans classified as troubled debt restructurings and included in impaired loans in the disclosure above totaled $3.6 million. There were no troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2009.
We foreclose on delinquent real estate loans when all other repayment possibilities have been exhausted. Our practice is to value real estate acquired through foreclosure at fair value, which is the lower of (i) an independent current appraisal or market analysis less anticipated costs of disposal, or (ii) the existing loan balance. The current extended decline in the national economy and unemployment rates from 2007 to the end of the third quarter 2010 has also negatively affected the local real estate market. The majority of the non-performing loans are real estate related. As such, over the next several quarters, we anticipate that our total non-performing assets will likely stay at historically elevated levels and then begin to decline. We further believe that the majority of nonperformin g loans are adequately secured by collateral.
We have analyzed the potential risk of loss in our loan portfolio, given the loan balances and the value of the underlying collateral, and have recognized losses where appropriate. Non-performing loans are monitored on an ongoing basis as part of our periodic internal and external loan review process. We do not believe that the current level of non-performing loans at September 30, 2010 is reflective of any significant systemic problem within our loan portfolio but rather is a reflection of the current economic environment. We review the adequacy of our allowance for loan loss at the end of each month. We use a loan risk classification system, which classifies all loans, including impaired or problem credits as substandard, doubtful, or loss, according to a scale of 1-8 with 8 being a loss. We also evaluate adversely class ified loans relative to their collateral value and make appropriate reductions to the carrying value of those loans to approximate fair value based on that review. Should any of the individual classified loans deteriorate further in the future, additional write downs may be required. Our ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 3.86% at September 30, 2010; 3.70% at December 31, 2009; and 1.61% at September 30, 2009. At September 30, 2010, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total non-performing assets was 32.6% compared to 36.5% at December 31, 2009 and 24.3% at September 30, 2009. These ratios declined at
September 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 primarily due to charge-offs that were specifically reserved at year-end being in excess of the required provision for loan losses we recorded in the current quarter. We believe that the allowance for loan losses, which may or may not increase at the same rate as the loan portfolio grows, is adequate as of September 30, 2010 to provide for potential losses. However, considering the current state of the local real estate markets, and the risk as identified by periodic qualitative and quantitative analysis, we expect that additions to our reserve for possible loan losses, may be necessary in the future.
For each period presented, the provision for loan losses charged to operations is based on our judgment after taking into consideration all factors connected with the collectibility of the existing portfolio. We evaluate the loan portfolio in light of economic conditions, changes in the nature and value of the portfolio, industry standards and other relevant factors. Specific factors considered by us in determining the amounts charged to operations include internally generated loan review reports as well as reports from an outside loan reviewer, previous loan loss experience with the borrower, the status of past due interest and principal payments on the loan, the quality of financial information supplied by the borrower, the general financial condition of the borrower, and the value of any collateral securing the loan.
Given the activity in our net charged off loan levels, the ratio of the reserve for loan losses to outstanding loans, the generally depressed real estate markets, and the increase in the total nonperforming assets, we concluded that it would be appropriate to continue to make additions to the allowance for loan losses. We made a provision for loan losses of $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2010, following a provision of $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 and a provision of $7.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. We will continue to evaluate, on a monthly basis, the adequacy of the total reserve for loan losses. We anticipate that we will continue to make provisions as losses are taken in subsequent periods. The decision to continue, increase or decrease additions to the reserve will be based on the monthly qualitative analysis of the loan portfolio, considering, among other factors, increases in the risk profile of certain types of lending, loan growth, overall economic conditions, and the volume of non-performing and adversely classified loans. Despite our best efforts, the reserve may be adjusted in future periods if there are significant changes in the assumptions or factors utilized when making valuations, or conditions differ materially from the assumptions originally utilized. Any such adjustments are made in the reporting period when the relevant factors become known and when applied as part of the analysis indicate a change in the level of potential loss is warranted.
SECURITIES
Our investment securities portfolio serves primarily as a source of liquidity and yield. Certain of the securities are pledged to secure public or government deposits and others are specifically identified as collateral for borrowings from the FHLB or repurchase agreements with correspondent banks and customers. The remaining portion of the portfolio is held for investment income, available for sale in the event liquidity is needed to fund loan growth or cover deposit outflows, and for general asset/liability management purposes. At the end of the third quarter 2010, total securities were $95.5 million, a decrease of $31.9 million or 25.0% compared to December 31, 2009 balances of $127.4 million, and have decreased by $27.0 million or 22.0% since the September 30, 2009 balance of $122.5 million. These decreases were due pr imarily to calls, maturities, and paydowns of various securities. The proceeds from the reduction in securities were used to fund the decline in our time deposit balances. Additionally, we recorded $6.7 million of OTTI in 2009 on our portfolio of Collateralized Debt Obligation (“CDO”) securities that are available for sale.
Our securities portfolio consists of two components, securities available for sale and securities held to maturity. Securities are classified as held to maturity when we have the intent and the ability at the time of purchase to hold the securities to maturity. These securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time
are classified as available for sale and accounted for at fair value. Securities available for sale include securities that may be sold in response to changes in market interest rates, changes in the security’s prepayment risk, increases in loan demand, general liquidity needs and other similar factors. Our investment policy requires that all rated securities that are purchased must be investment grade or better. Our recent purchases of securities have been securities of investment grade credit quality with short to intermediate and occasionally, longer term maturities.
We review and evaluate all securities quarterly or more frequently as necessary for possible impairment. If, in our judgment, there is serious doubt as to the probability of collecting substantially all our basis in a security within a reasonable period of time, an impairment write down will be recognized. We conducted impairment reviews as of September 2010 for all securities where cash flow information was obtainable. Our analysis indicated that we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. We also determined that we would not be required to sell the securities before the recovery of the entire amortized cost basis of the security. We presently hold the following securities with credit ratings that, subsequent to purchase, have declined below minimum investment grade:
● | $175 thousand Ally Bank (formerly GMAC) Perpetual Preferred Stock, |
● | $1 million MBIA Global Funding 5.07% maturing 6/15/2015, |
● | $2 million Citigroup 6.95% maturing 9/15/2031, |
● | $2 million Bank Boston Capital 1.007% maturing 1/15/2027, |
● | $2 million Bank of America Capital .8213% maturing 1/15/2027, |
● | $2 million Sallie Mae senior debt 5.3% maturing 6/15/2013 and |
● | $2 million in Sallie Mae preferred stock. |
We hold eleven CDO securities where the underlying pooled collateral is various bank and insurance company trust preferred securities. As noted in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, seven of the eleven securities now have ratings that are below minimum investment grade. We use an independent valuation firm that specializes in valuing debt securities. The independent firm evaluates all relevant credit and structural aspects of each debt security, determining appropriate performance assumptions and performing discounted cash flow analysis. The following topics are covered in their evaluation:
● | Detailed credit and structural evaluation for each piece of collateral in the debt security; |
● | Collateral performance projections for each piece of collateral in the debt security; |
● | Terms of the debt security structure; and |
● | Discounted cash flow modeling. |
Following the quarterly evaluation of these securities, management has concluded that, with the exception of the previously noted non-cash charge, the impairment within the CDO securities is considered temporary as of September 30, 2010. We do not own any securities collateralized by “sub-prime” or “alt A” mortgage loans.
During the third quarter of 2010, we recorded no other-than-temporary impairment charges. We determined this based on our estimate of credit losses on the related securities. This estimate was based on an independent analysis from an outside firm that specializes in valuing complex financial instruments. We reviewed the assumptions used in the analysis and believe that these assumptions are reasonable.
Our fully taxable equivalent annualized average yield on the entire portfolio was 4.42% for the third quarter of 2010, compared to 4.86% for the same period in 2009. Due to the lower rate environment, over the next several quarters, it is anticipated that there will continue to be a significant number of agency securities called by the issuer. Reinvesting the called bond proceeds in securities with lower coupons, or utilizing the funds to reduce borrowings or fund loan growth, will likely result in a lower overall portfolio yield in the future.
DEPOSITS AND BORROWINGS
Our main source of funds is deposit accounts. Our deposit base is comprised of demand deposits, savings and money market accounts and other time deposits. Our deposits are provided by individuals and businesses located within the communities served. We generally do not accept out of market deposits, nor do we solicit or accept any brokered deposits. Due to our “adequately capitalized” status, we are not permitted to accept brokered deposits without prior regulatory approval or offer interest rates that are significantly higher than the average rates in our market area.
Total deposits were $355.0 million as of September 30, 2010, a decrease of $30.5 million or 7.9% from $385.5 million at December 31, 2009. Total deposits have decreased by $23.7 million or 6.3% from the September 30, 2009 level of $378.7 million. The decrease in deposits is primarily due to the decline in the interest rate paid on time deposits. The average aggregate interest rate paid on interest bearing deposits was 0.94% in the first nine months of 2010, compared to 1.37% for the corresponding period in 2009. The majority of our deposits are higher yielding certificates of deposit because many of our customers are individuals who seek higher yields than those offered on regular savings, money market savings and interest checking accounts. At September 30, 2010 certificates of deposit repr esented 56.5% of total deposits as compared to 66.8% at December 31, 2009 and 61.1% at September 30, 2009.
The following table is a summary of our time deposits of $100,000 or more by remaining maturities at September 30, 2010, June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009:
| | Time Deposits $100,000 or More (Dollars in thousands) | |
| | September 30, 2010 | | | June 30, 2010 | | | March 31, 2010 | | | December31, 2009 | |
Three months or less | | $ | 11,780 | | | $ | 10,512 | | | $ | 16,297 | | | $ | 14,619 | |
Three to twelve months | | | 32,615 | | | | 33,216 | | | | 31,532 | | | | 33,375 | |

Total | | $ | 65,261 | | | $ | 68,621 | | | $ | 72,838 | | | $ | 74,230 | |
Our total borrowings at September 30, 2010 were $48.3 million, and consisted of overnight borrowings of $3.1 million, term borrowings of $40.0 million, and capital trust preferred long term debt of $5.2 million. The weighted average cost of these borrowings in the first nine months of 2010 was 3.42% compared to 2.59% in the comparable period of 2009. The increase in the weighted average interest rate during the first nine months of 2010 as compared to the first nine months of 2009 was due to less reliance on federal funds purchased, which have an interest rate of less than 1 percent.
The $3.1 million in overnight borrowings at September 30, 2010, consisted of federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements, and we had no overnight advances from the FHLB. At December 31, 2009 we had $12.7 million in overnight borrowing with $2.7 million in federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements and $10.0 million in overnight advances from the FHLB. Of the $17.8 million in overnight borrowings at September 30, 2009, $7.8 million was in federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements and $10.0 million was with overnight advances from the FHLB. Our $40.0 million in term borrowings at September 30, 2010 were structured borrowings from the FHLB and the balance was unchanged compared to December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009. The structured borrowings from the FHLB at September 30, 2010 consisted o f various, convertible term advances, and have not materially changed in composition or structure since December 31, 2009. The weighted average cost of these borrowings in the first nine months of 2010 was 4.10% compared to 4.18% in the comparable period of 2009.
As of September 30, 2010, we had $5.2 million in capital trust preferred debt outstanding which
originated on December 17, 2003 at a variable interest rate of 3 month LIBOR plus 285 basis points and which resets quarterly. The debt matures on December 17, 2033. The current weighted average cost of these borrowings in the first nine months of 2010 was 3.26% compared to 3.85% in the comparable period of 2009. The aggregate rate on all interest bearing liabilities for the first nine months of 2010 was 2.35%, compared to 2.98% in the comparable period of 2009.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance and changing competitive conditions and economic forces. We seek to maintain a strong capital base to support our growth and expansion activities, to provide stability to current operations and to promote public confidence. The Bank is considered to be “adequately-capitalized” for regulatory purposes at September 30, 2010. The primary indicators relied on by the Federal Reserve Board and other bank regulators in measuring strength of capital position are the Tier 1 capital, Total Capital and Leverage ratios. Tier 1 Capital consists of common and qualifying preferred stockholders’ equity less goodwill. Total Capital consists of Tier 1 Capital, qualifying subordinated debt and a portion of the allowance for loan losses. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated with reference to risk-weighted assets, which consist of both on and off-balance sheet risks. The Leverage Ratio consists of Tier 1 Capital divided by quarterly average assets.
Our total risk based capital position remains “adequate,” while our tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and leverage ratio continue to be above the “well capitalized” minimum levels at quarter end. As a result of a recently concluded examination by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, we have entered into a written agreement with the Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve as of June 30, 2010. The written agreement requires us to increase capital until the Bank significantly exceeds the capital level required to be classified as “well capitalized,” establish and submit definitive plans to strengthen board oversight; better monitor, control, and improve asset quality; and improve overall risk identification, forecasting and manage ment, at Central Virginia Bank. We had planned to pursue a Rights and Stock Offering in September; however, given the economy and the resulting effects on the equity markets in general and bank stocks in particular, we did not feel that it was the right time to attempt to access the capital markets. We will continue to reassess the situation as appropriate.
At September 30, 2010, management determined that an establishment of a valuation allowance of $12.1 million on its deferred tax assets was prudent given our historical losses. There is no impact on our calculation of Tier One Capital for regulatory purposes given the net deferred tax assets were already excluded from the calculation.
Banking regulations also require us to maintain certain minimum capital levels in relation to Bank assets. A comparison of our actual regulatory capital as of September 30, 2010, with minimum requirements, as defined by regulation, is shown below:
| Actual |
| Regulatory Minimum | September 30, 2010 | June 30, 2010 | March 31, 2010 | December 31, 2009 |
| | | | |
Consolidated | For Capital Adequacy Purposes | | | | |
| Total risk-based capital | 8.0% 4.0% 4.0% | 8.5% | 8.7% | 9.0% | 9.2% |
| Tier 1 risk-based capital | 7.3% | 7.4% | 7.8% | 8.0% |
| Leverage ratio | 5.4% | 5.6% | 5.9% | 5.8% |
| | | | | | | |
Central Virginia Bank | Adequately Capitalized | Well Capitalized | | | | |
| Total risk-based capital | 8.0% | 10.0% | 8.3% | 8.3% | 8.7% | 8.8% |
| Tier 1 risk-based capital | 4.0% | 6.0% | 7.0% | 7.1% | 7.4% | 7.6% |
| Leverage ratio | 4.0% | 5.0% | 5.1% | 5.3% | 5.7% | 5.5% |
LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Liquidity
Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, investments and loans maturing within one year. Our ability to obtain deposits and purchase funds at favorable rates determines our liability liquidity. As a result of our management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, we believe that we maintain overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy our depositors’ requirements and meet our customers’ credit needs.
Additional sources of liquidity available to us include, but are not limited to, loan repayments, and the ability to obtain deposits through the adjustment of interest rates, borrowing from the FHLB, purchasing of federal funds, and selling securities under repurchase agreements. To further meet our liquidity needs, we also have access to the Federal Reserve System discount window. In the past, growth in deposits and proceeds from the maturity of investment securities has been more than sufficient to fund the net increase in loans. We expect current conditions to be continued in future quarters. We have previously used portions of our borrowing availability when interest rates were favorable, to purchase marketable securities in an effort to increase net interest income and at the same time lock in lower r ate cost of funds for up to five years.
We have entered into various borrowing arrangements with other financial institutions for federal funds, and other borrowings. The total amount of borrowing facilities available as of September 30, 2010 are $128.8 million, of which $88.8 million remains available to borrow.
The following table presents our contractual obligations at September 30, 2010 and the scheduled payment amounts due at various intervals over the next five years and beyond.

(1) | Federal Home Loan Bank advances generally are callable prior to the maturity date indicated above. If the advance is called, the advance can be, at the option of the Bank, converted to another advance with a different interest structure, while maintaining the same maturity date. See Note 4 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We enter into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These off-balance sheet arrangements include unfunded commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit which would impact our liquidity and capital resources to the extent customers accept and or use these commitments. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources, that is material to investors.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
In conjunction with maintaining a satisfactory level of liquidity, we must also control the degree of interest rate risk assumed on the balance sheet. Managing this risk involves periodic monitoring of the interest sensitive assets relative to interest sensitive liabilities over specific time intervals, and under various interest rate or yield curve shifts upward and downward.
At September 30, 2010, our interest sensitivity gap was positive at the 1-month point and negative at the 2-month through the 12-month points. The cumulative gap is positive at the 1-month, and remains positive through the 12-month point. Since the largest amount of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities mature or re-price within 12 months, we monitor this area closely. We do not emphasize interest sensitivity analysis beyond this time frame because we believe various unpredictable factors could result in erroneous interpretations. Early withdrawal of deposits, prepayments of loans and loan delinquencies are some of the factors that could have such an effect. In addition, changes in rates on interest sensitive assets and liabilities may not be equal, which could result in a change in net interest margin. While we do not match each of our interest sensitive assets against specific interest sensitive liabilities, we do seek to enhance the net interest margin while minimizing exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
Inflation significantly affects industries having high proportions of fixed assets or high levels of inventories. Although we are not significantly affected in these areas, inflation may have an impact on the growth of assets. As assets grow rapidly, it may become necessary to increase equity capital at proportionate levels to maintain the appropriate equity to asset ratios.
Our reported earnings results may have been affected by inflation, but isolating the effect is difficult. The different types of income and expense are affected in various ways. Interest rates are affected by
inflation, but the timing and magnitude of the changes may not coincide with changes in the consumer price index. We actively monitor interest rate sensitivity in order to minimize the effects of inflationary trends on interest rates. Other areas of non-interest expenses may be more directly affected by inflation.
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 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 ut ilized by the Company, changing trends in customer profiles and changes in laws and regulations applicable to us. Although we believe that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reliable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that our actual results, performance or achievements will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For a description of factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009, and other reports from time to time filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements as these statements speak only as of the date when made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this report.
