Item 1. Business

General Description of Business

Botetourt Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Virginia corporation on January 17, 1997 and is the one-bank holding company for and sole shareholder of Bank of Botetourt (the “Bank”). The Bank was acquired by the Company on September 30, 1997. The Company has no significant operations other than owning the stock of the Bank.

History

Bank of Botetourt was founded in 1899 and currently operates ten offices in four counties of Virginia. The main office is in Buchanan, with other Botetourt County office locations in Daleville, Eagle Rock and Troutville. The Bank’s operations center is located in Buchanan and the Bank’s loan administration center is located in Troutville. The Roanoke County offices are located on Challenger Avenue in east Roanoke County and on Peters Creek Road in north Roanoke County. The Rockbridge County offices are located in Lexington, Fairfield, and Natural Bridge Station. The Franklin County office is located at First Watch Drive in Moneta.

Location and Service Area

A substantial portion of the Company’s market is located in the larger Roanoke Valley Metropolitan Statistical Area (“MSA”). This MSA varies widely with a medium-sized city, large rural base, mostly small businesses in many different manufacturing and service industries, and significant governmental employment. The Roanoke MSA is the commercial center for southwest Virginia, and is located approximately 165 miles west of Richmond, Virginia, 178 miles northeast of Charlotte, North Carolina, 178 miles southeast of Charleston, West Virginia and 222 miles southwest of Washington, D.C. Virginia Western Community College, Roanoke College, Hollins University, Jefferson College of Health Sciences, National College, Skyline College, Dabney S. Lancaster Community College, Virginia Military Institute, Washington and Lee University, and Southern Virginia University are located in Bank of Botetourt’s market areas. Virginia Tech and Radford University are each a 45-minute drive. Virginia Tech and Carilion Health Systems jointly operate a private medical school, located in downtown Roanoke, adjacent to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. The Roanoke Higher Education Center along with Greenfield Education & Training Center, located in Botetourt County, makes higher education and workforce training accessible in the region.

The United States Census Bureau estimated that the Roanoke MSA population was 308,700 at the end of 2010. The population is projected to grow to 310,000 by 2020 and to reach 325,000 by 2030. Unemployment in the Roanoke MSA has fared better than the national unemployment rate. As of December 2011, the Roanoke MSA had an unemployment rate of 6.4% compared to 8.5% for the United States and 6.1% for the Commonwealth of Virginia. However, like the United States, the Roanoke MSA has experienced a decline in economic activity due to the economic downturn. Unemployment, though improving, remains historically high. Prior to the recession, unemployment consistently ranged from 3% to 4% compared to 6% and 7% for the past few years. It appears that the local unemployment peaked at 8.4% percent in January 2010, but it has yet to return to the levels seen prior to the recession. Building permit activity in the Roanoke MSA has also shown a sharp decline during the recession. Permits declined significantly in 2008 and 2009. Both 2010 and 2011 have shown a minimal increase over 2009’s low. Building permits remain at half the level experienced in 2008, but it appears that the bottom was reached in 2009. The Roanoke Valley has suffered from the economic recession, but indicators suggest that troughs have been reached for the local economy.

Over 8,600 businesses operate in the Roanoke MSA. The business community in the Roanoke MSA is diverse and thus the region is not heavily reliant on one industry. The principal components of the economy are government employment, health care, retail trade, and manufacturing. The Roanoke MSA’s position as a regional

center creates a strong medical, legal, and business professional community. Carilion Health Systems, Lewis-Gale Hospital, and the Veterans Administration Hospital are among the area’s largest employers. They do not directly affect the Company’s performance since these employers are not close to the Bank’s current branch locations. Other large employers include Roanoke County and City government and schools, Wells Fargo, The Kroger Company, Warsaw Health Center, Allstate Insurance Company, Botetourt County School Board, Yokohama Tire Corporation, M.W. Manufacturers, Advance Auto Parts, and the U. S. Postal Service. Major employers located directly in the Bank’s branch market of Rockbridge County, Botetourt County and northeast Roanoke County include the local school districts, HSN Fulfillment, Dynax America Corporation, and Wal-Mart.

Banking Services

The Bank operates for the primary purpose of providing an adequate return to our shareholders while safely meeting the banking needs of individuals and small to medium sized businesses in the Bank’s service area by developing personal, hometown associations with these customers.

The Bank offers a wide range of banking services including checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, and individual retirement accounts. All deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to the maximum amount allowed by law.

We offer a full range of lending services including commercial loans, commercial real estate, consumer, residential, and agricultural and raw land. We offer non-deposit investment products and insurance products for sale to the public through Infinex Investments, Inc.

Buchanan Service Corporation provides insurance services for customers of the Bank and the public through a minority ownership interest in Bankers Insurance, LLC. Our affiliation with the Virginia Bankers Association allows us to participate with a consortium of banks in the Commonwealth of Virginia to offer competitive insurance products.

Buchanan Service Corporation has an ownership interest in Rockbridge Title Services, LLC and Mountain Valley Title Insurance Agency, LLC. Both companies offer title insurance to our customers and the public.

Other Bank services include safe deposit boxes, notary public, Medallion signature guarantees, consumer online banking, bill payment and e-statements, cash management services through business online banking, wire transfers, direct deposit of payroll and social security checks and automatic drafts for various accounts. We operate proprietary automated teller machines and offer surcharge free ATMs at Sheetz locations and by participating in the No SUR program, a network of surcharge-free ATMs. We also offer VISA credit and debit card services, and ID Reclaim, an identity theft protection service.

The Bank’s primary sources of revenue are interest income from its lending activities, and, to a lesser extent, from its investment portfolio. The Bank also earns fees from lending and deposit activities. The major expenses of the Bank are interest on deposit accounts, bad debt expense, general and administrative expenses, such as salaries, occupancy and related expenses. The Bank does not provide trust services.

Lending Activities

The Bank’s lending products include commercial, real estate, consumer, residential, agricultural and land loans. The loan portfolio constituted 87.31% of the earning assets of the Bank at December 31, 2011 and has historically produced the highest interest rate spread above the cost of funds. The Bank’s lenders have the authority to extend credit under guidelines established and approved by the Board of Directors. Any aggregate credit that exceeds the authority of the loan officer is forwarded to the Management Loan Committee for approval. The Management Loan Committee is composed of the Bank President and CEO, Chief Risk Officer, Vice President—Credit Administration, senior commercial lending officers, any other officers deemed necessary,

Table of Contents

and a committee secretary. Any aggregate credit that exceeds the authority of the Management Loan Committee is forwarded to the Loan Committee for a decision. Voting members of the Loan Committee include the Company Chairman and CEO, Bank President and CEO, Senior Vice President – Mortgage and Financial Services, Senior Vice President – Business Banking and Commercial Lending, and three outside directors. Non-voting members include the Senior Vice President and Chief Risk Officer, the Vice President of Credit Administration, and other commercial lenders. All aggregate credits that exceed the Loan Committee’s lending authority are presented to the full Board of Directors for ultimate approval or denial. The Loan Committee not only acts as an approval body to ensure consistent application of the Bank’s loan policy, but also provides valuable insight through communication and pooling of knowledge, judgment and experience of its members.

In 2011, the Bank segmented its gross loans among five broad categories to monitor our lending activities. The largest category of loans, comprising of 46.6% of the loan portfolio, was prime residential loans. Commercial real estate lending added another 35.5% of the loan balance. Smaller loan categories making up the balance of the loan portfolio were agricultural and raw land, commercial, and consumer at 7.1%, 6.5% and 4.3%, respectively.

All loans in the Bank’s portfolio are subject to risk from the condition of the economy in the Bank’s area and also that of the nation. In general, the Bank has used and continues to use appropriate loan-to-value ratios and thorough credit evaluation to lessen the risk on all types of loans. In particular, this policy helped reduce exposure on real estate loans. The Bank does not engage in sub-prime lending activities. Thorough credit checks and evaluation of past internal credit history has helped to reduce the amount of risk related to consumer loans. While we have not avoided all risks and loan losses, especially those geographically related to the Smith Mountain Lake market, these processes have helped protect us during the recessionary period and subsequent economic recovery. Government guarantees of loans are used when appropriate but apply to a very small percentage of the portfolio. Commercial loans are evaluated by collateral value and cash flow, including the ability to service debt. Ideally, businesses seeking loans must have a good product line and sales, responsible management, manageable debt load and a product that is not critically affected by downturns in the economy. Bank management recognizes that the most recent recession was severe in both magnitude and duration and had greater consequences for business customers than more typical economic cycles. However, due to the diversity of business, commercial, and employment opportunities, the Roanoke region experienced a milder recession than the nation.

Investments

The Bank invests a portion of its assets in Government-sponsored enterprises debt instruments, state, county and municipal obligations, and equity securities. The Bank’s investments are managed in relation to loan demand and deposit growth and are generally used to provide for the investment of excess funds at reduced yields and risks relative to increases in loans or to offset fluctuations in deposits. The Bank does not engage in any hedging activities. Additionally, the Bank does not own any Government-sponsored enterprises equity securities.

Deposit Activities

Deposits are the major source of funds for lending and other investment activities. The Bank considers the majority of its regular savings, demand, NOW and money market deposits and small denomination certificates of deposit, to be core deposits. These accounts comprised 74.77% of the Bank’s total deposits at December 31, 2011. Certificates of deposit in denominations of $100,000 or more represented the remaining 25.23% of deposits at year end. Large denomination certificates of deposit have historically remained a stable source of funds at our Bank. At December 31, 2011 the Bank had one brokered deposit in the amount of $250,000.

The Bank is 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 has limitations but can be used to attract new deposits, diversify our funding sources, and manage liquidity.

Company Website and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Filings

The Company maintains an internet website at www.bankofbotetourt.com. This website contains information relating to the Company and its business. Stockholders of the Company and the public may access the Company’s periodic and current reports, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports, filed with or furnished to the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, through the “Shareholder Relations” section of the Company’s website. The reports are made available on this website as soon as practicable following the filing of the reports with the SEC. Relevant committee charters, financial reports, and other important information about the Company also are available from this site. This information is free of charge and may be reviewed, downloaded and printed from the website at any time.

Employees

At December 31, 2011, the Company had 84 full time and 13 part time employees, none of whom are represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Management considers employee relations to be good.

Competition

The Company encounters strong competition both in making loans and in attracting deposits. The deregulation of the banking industry and the widespread enactment of state laws that permit multi-bank holding companies as well as an increasing level of interstate banking have created a highly competitive environment for commercial banking. In one or more aspects of its business, the Company competes with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking companies, and other financial intermediaries. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits and may offer certain services that we do not currently provide. In addition, many of the Company’s competitors are not subject to the same extensive federal regulations that govern bank holding companies and federally insured banks. Recent federal and state legislations have heightened the competitive environment in which financial institutions must conduct their business. Accordingly, the potential for competition among financial institutions of all types has increased significantly.

We compete by relying upon specialized services, responsive handling of customer needs, and personal contacts by our officers, directors, and staff. Large multi-branch banking competitors tend to compete primarily by rate and the number and location of branches while smaller, independent financial institutions, like the Bank, tend to compete primarily by a combination of rate and personal service.

Currently, in Botetourt County, the Company competes with six other commercial banks that operate 13 branches in the County. In the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) Summary of Deposits for June 30, 2011, the Company held 37.32% of the deposits in Botetourt County, which represents the largest market share of all financial institutions. In Rockbridge County, the Company competes with seven other financial institutions that operate 9 offices and held 16.78% of the market share of deposits. In Roanoke County, the Company competes with 12 other commercial banks that operate 33 offices and held 4.36% of the market share of deposits. In Franklin County, the Company competes with eight commercial banks operating 18 offices and held 0.86% of the market share of deposits.

Government Supervision and Regulation

The following discussion is a summary of the principal laws and regulations that comprise the regulatory framework that applies to the Company and the Bank. Other laws and regulations that govern various aspects of

Table of Contents

the operations of banks and bank holding companies are not described, although violations of such laws and regulations could result in supervisory enforcement action against the Company or the Bank. The following descriptions summarize the material terms of the principal laws and regulations and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations:

General

The events of the past few years have led to numerous new laws in the United States and internationally for financial institutions. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“The Act” or “Dodd-Frank”), which was enacted in July 2010, significantly restructures the financial regulatory regime in the United States. From our perspective, the Dodd-Frank Act primarily did the following:

 

   

Created the Financial Stability Oversight Council charged with identifying systemically important institutions, whose distress or failure could imperil our financial stability, and recommending enhanced prudential standards for such institutions.

 

   

Established an orderly liquidation regime for such systemically important institutions in an effort to end “too-big-to-fail”.

 

   

Required originators and securitizers of mortgage loans to retain part of the loan assets that are bundled into securities in order to incent them to exercise more caution.

 

   

Established a regulatory framework for derivatives and places limitations on bank proprietary trading.

 

   

Provided more stringent capital requirements for banks.

 

   

Established regulatory oversight of the credit rating agencies through the SEC.

 

   

Created a new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection with broad authority to write rules to protect consumers. At the federal level, the FDIC will continue to examine us for compliance with such rules.

 

   

Added significant new requirements relating to residential mortgage loans, including a requirement that originators determine a consumer’s ability to repay a loan.

Many aspects of the The Act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact on our Company, our customers and the financial industry in general. The following provisions are expected to directly impact our Company:

 

   

The federal banking agencies are directed to make capital requirements countercyclical, such that the amount of capital required increases in times of economic expansion and decreases in times of economic contraction, in effect building a buffer in an expanding economy.

 

   

The Act authorizes the Federal Reserve to establish capital requirements for bank holding companies.

 

   

The Act increases the authority of the Federal Reserve to examine us and any of our non-bank subsidiaries.

 

   

The Act requires a holding company of an insured depository institution to serve as a “source of strength” for such depository institution. This means the holding company must provide financial assistance to the depository institution in the event of its distress.

 

   

The Act required the FDIC to base deposit insurance assessments on an insured depository institution’s total consolidated assets minus its tangible equity, rather than on its deposit base (subject to adjustment for custodial banks and bankers’ banks). Basing assessments on assets rather than deposits should benefit smaller banks and adversely impact larger banks, as small banks rely more on deposits to fund lending than larger banks do.

 

   

The Act made permanent the $250,000 limit for federal deposit insurance and increases the cash limit of Securities Investor Protection Corporation protection from $100,000 to $250,000 and provides unlimited federal deposit insurance until December 31, 2012 for non-interest bearing demand transaction accounts at all insured depository institutions.

Table of Contents
   

The Act repealed the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and other accounts.

 

   

Mortgage originators are placed under a new duty of care to be qualified and registered and licensed in accordance with state or federal law, including the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act (“S.A.F.E. Act”). A mortgage originator will also have a duty to include on all loan documents his or her unique identifier as provided by the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry.

 

   

The Act established minimum standards for mortgages, defined high cost mortgages, and specified licensed appraiser requirements.

 

   

The Company will have to comply with provisions related to executive compensation and corporate governance such as say on pay and clawback provisions on incentive compensation, although the effective date has been extended for smaller reporting companies such as our Company.

 

   

The Act revised the accredited investor standard for raising capital in a private offering.

 

   

The Act exempted small issuers that are neither a large accelerated filer nor an accelerated filer from complying with the Section 404(b) internal control rules of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Act also directs the SEC to conduct a study to determine how to reduce compliance costs under Section 404(b) for companies with market capitalization between $75 million and $250 million.

The implications of the The Act for our Company will depend to a large extent on the manner in which rules adopted pursuant to The Act are implemented by the primary U.S. financial regulatory agencies as well as potential changes in market practices and structures in response to the requirements of The Act. Our Company continues to analyze the impact of rules adopted under The Act. However, the full impact will not be known until the rules, and other regulatory initiatives that overlap with the rules, are finalized and their combined impacts can be understood.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was signed into law on July 30, 2002. It comprehensively revised the laws affecting corporate governance, accounting obligations and corporate reporting for companies with equity or debt securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Compliance with this complex legislation and with subsequent Securities and Exchange Commission rules has since been a major focus of all public corporations in the United States, including the Company. Among the many significant provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Section 404 and related Securities and Exchange Commission rules created increased scrutiny by management, the internal audit department, and external auditors of our systems of internal controls over financial reporting. Dodd-Frank eliminated the auditor attestation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for smaller reporting companies like Botetourt Bankshares, Inc. However, the Company’s certifying officers must still attest to the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls.

As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”), and the examination and reporting requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). Under the BHCA, a bank holding company may not directly or indirectly acquire ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any additional bank or merge or consolidate with another bank holding company without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve. The BHCA also generally limits the activities of a bank holding company to that of banking, managing or controlling banks, or any other activity that is determined to be so closely related to banking or to managing or controlling banks.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLBA”) was enacted in November 1999 and broadly rewrote financial services legislation. The GLBA repealed affiliation and management interlock prohibitions of the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act, in essence a separation of traditional banking from securities brokerage, and added new substantive provisions to the non-banking activities permitted under the BHCA with the creation of the financial

Table of Contents

holding company. Subject to restrictions, the GLBA permits financial holding companies to engage directly in a broader range of activities than are permissible for a bank holding company. These include underwriting insurance, providing investment advice and underwriting securities, among others.

In order for a bank holding company to qualify as a financial holding company, all of its depository subsidiaries (i.e., banks and thrifts) must be well capitalized and well managed, and must have a satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) rating. The bank holding company also must declare its intention to become a financial holding company to the Federal Reserve. The Company meets all of the requirements to become a financial holding company, but currently has not made an election with the Federal Reserve to become a financial holding company.

The Federal Reserve Act restricts the amount and prescribes conditions with respect to loans, investments, asset purchases and other transactions between the Company and the Bank. These restrictions, known as Transactions with Affiliates, limit the freedom of the Company and the Bank to engage in transactions between them. The Bank is subject to restrictions on the aggregate amount, terms and risks associated with extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, and their related interests. Dodd-Frank significantly expands the coverage and scope of the limitations on affiliate transactions within a banking organization.

As a state-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Virginia State Corporation Commission’s Bureau of Financial Institutions (“Bureau”). The Bank, not a member bank of the Federal Reserve System, is also subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the FDIC. Federal and Virginia laws govern the activities in which the Bank may engage, the investments that it may make and limit the aggregate amount of loans that may be granted to one borrower to 15% of the bank’s capital and surplus. Various consumer and compliance laws and regulations also affect the Bank’s operations.

The Bureau and FDIC conduct regular examinations of the Bank and review such matters as the adequacy of loan loss reserves, quality of loans and investments, management practices, compliance with laws, and other aspects of its operations. In addition to these regular examinations, the Bank must furnish the FDIC with periodic reports containing a full and accurate statement of its affairs. Supervision, regulation and examination of banks by these agencies are intended primarily for the protection of depositors rather than shareholders.

Insurance of Accounts, Assessments and Regulation by the FDIC

The deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC up to the limits set forth under applicable law. The deposits of the Bank are also subject to the deposit insurance assessments of the FDIC.

The FDIC is authorized to prohibit an insured institution from engaging in any activity that the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious threat to the respective insurance fund. Also, the FDIC may initiate enforcement actions against such banks. The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any depository institution if it determines, after a hearing, that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed in writing by the FDIC. It also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital. If deposit insurance is terminated, the deposits at the institution at the time of termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a period from six months to two years, as determined by the FDIC. Management is aware of no existing circumstances that could result in termination of the Bank’s deposit insurance.

The FDIC has authority to impose special assessments from time to time. In February 2009, the FDIC amended the restoration plan for the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”). The plan imposed an emergency special assessment on all banks during 2009 in an effort to restore the Deposit Insurance Fund to an acceptable level. The special assessment increased the Bank’s insurance premiums expense by $140,000, or approximately 20% of the total expense incurred by the Bank to provide FDIC insurance coverage for our customers in 2009. There was no special assessment in 2011 or 2010.

In November 2009, the FDIC adopted the final rule amending the assessment regulations to require insured depository institutions to prepay their quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012, on December 30, 2009, along with the risk-based assessment for the third quarter of 2009. This amounted to approximately $1.6 million for the Bank, which will be expensed over the three year period. The Bank had adequate funds to remit this payment that was substantially higher than a typical quarterly deposit insurance assessment. At December 31, 2011, $736,000 in prepaid deposit insurance assessments is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

In October 2010, the FDIC adopted a new DIF restoration plan to ensure that the fund reserve ratio reaches 1.35% by September 30, 2020, as required by Dodd-Frank. Under the new restoration plan, the FDIC ceased the uniform three-basis point increase in initial assessment rates. It maintains the current schedule of assessment rates for all depository institutions. At least semi-annually, the FDIC will update its loss and income projections for the fund and, if needed, will increase or decrease assessment rates, following notice-and-comment rulemaking, if required.

In November 2010, the FDIC issued a final rule to implement provisions of Dodd-Frank that provide for temporary unlimited coverage for non-interest-bearing transaction accounts. The separate coverage for non-interest-bearing transaction accounts became effective on December 31, 2010 and terminates on December 31, 2012.

On April 1, 2011, the deposit insurance assessment base changed from total domestic deposits to average total assets minus average tangible equity, pursuant to a rule issued by the FDIC as required by Dodd-Frank.

Capital

The FDIC and the Federal Reserve have issued risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to banking organizations that they supervise. Under the risk-based capital requirements, the Company and the Bank are each generally required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) of 8%. At least half of the total capital is to be composed of common equity, retained earnings and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, less certain intangibles (“Tier 1 capital”). The remainder may consist of certain subordinated debt, certain hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying preferred stock and a limited amount of the loan loss allowance (“Tier 2 capital” and, together with Tier 1 capital, “total capital”).

In addition, each of the Federal banking regulatory agencies has established minimum leverage capital ratio requirements for banking organizations. These requirements provide for a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average quarterly assets equal to 3% for bank holding companies that are rated a composite “1” and 4% for all other bank holding companies. Bank holding companies are expected to maintain higher than minimum capital ratios if they have supervisory, financial, operational or managerial weaknesses, or if they are anticipating or experiencing significant growth.

The FDIC may take various corrective actions against any undercapitalized bank and any bank that fails to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan or fails to implement a plan accepted by the FDIC. These powers include, but are not limited to, requiring the institution to be recapitalized, prohibiting asset growth, restricting interest rates paid, requiring prior approval of capital distributions by any bank holding company that controls the institution, requiring divestiture by the institution of its subsidiaries or by the holding company of the institution itself, requiring new election of directors, and requiring the dismissal of directors and officers. The Bank presently maintains sufficient capital to remain in compliance with these capital requirements.

The risk-based capital standards of the FDIC and the Federal Reserve explicitly identify concentrations of credit risk and the risk arising from non-traditional activities, including an institution’s ability to manage these risks, as important factors to be taken into account by the agency in assessing an institution’s overall capital

adequacy. The capital guidelines also provide that an institution’s exposure to a decline in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates be considered by the agency as a factor in evaluating a bank’s capital adequacy. The FDIC and the Federal Reserve also have issued additional capital guidelines for bank holding companies that engage in certain trading activities. At present, these guidelines do not apply to the Company.

The Company did not participate in the U.S. Treasury’s Department’s Capital Purchase Program (“TARP”). We are committed to remain well-capitalized. The Company offers a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan to our stockholders. The plan is beneficial to both our stockholders and Company. First, it allows our stockholders the opportunity to increase their investment in the Company in an efficient manner without the normal costs associated with equity purchases. Secondly, it provides the Company an additional opportunity to maintain the appropriate level of capital necessary without substantial costs associated with a new equity offering.

The Basel Committee provides a framework for strengthening international capital and liquidity regulation, now officially identified by the Basel Committee as “Basel III”. Basel III, when implemented by the U.S. banking agencies and fully phased-in in 2019, will require bank holding companies and their bank subsidiaries to maintain substantially more capital, with a greater emphasis on common equity. Our Company’s size and current status of no on-balance sheet foreign exposure excludes us from the requirements of Basel III.

Other Safety and Soundness Regulations

There are a number of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries by Federal law and regulatory policy that are designed to reduce potential loss exposure to the depositors of such depository institutions and to the FDIC insurance fund in the event that the depository institution becomes in danger of default or is in default. For example, under a policy of the Federal Reserve with respect to bank holding company operations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary banks and to commit resources to support those banks in circumstances where it might not do so otherwise. The FDIC’s claim for reimbursement is superior to claims of shareholders of the insured bank or its holding company but is subordinate to claims of depositors, secured creditors and holders of subordinated debt (other than affiliates) of the commonly controlled insured bank.

The Federal banking agencies also have broad powers under current Federal law to take prompt corrective action to resolve problems of banks and other insured institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act requires that the federal banking agencies establish five capital levels for insured depository institutions. The category levels are “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized,” and “critically undercapitalized.” It also requires or permits such agencies to take certain supervisory actions should an insured institution’s capital level fall. For example, an “adequately capitalized” institution is restricted from accepting brokered deposits. An “undercapitalized” or “significantly undercapitalized” institution must develop a capital restoration plan and is subject to a number of mandatory and discretionary supervisory actions. These powers and authorities are in addition to the traditional powers of the Federal banking agencies to deal with undercapitalized institutions. Both the Company and the Bank are “well capitalized” under FDIC guidelines.

Laws restrict the interest and charges which the Bank may impose for certain loans. The Bank’s loan operations also are subject to certain federal laws, such as the Truth in Lending Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The deposit operations of the Bank also are subject to the Truth in Savings Act, the Right to Financial Privacy Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E, the Expedited Funds Availability Act and Regulation CC, and the Bank Secrecy Act. These and other similar laws result in significant costs to financial institutions and create the potential for liability to customers and regulatory authorities.

Federal regulatory authorities also have broad enforcement powers over the Company and the Bank, including the power to impose fines and other civil and criminal penalties, and to appoint a receiver in order to conserve the assets of any such institution for the benefit of depositors and other creditors.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) has sent, and will send, banking regulatory agencies lists of the names of persons suspected of involvement in terrorist attacks and other terrorist activities as they may occur and are investigated. The FBI has requested, and will request in the future, that the Bank search its records for any relationships or transactions with persons on those lists. In addition, on an ongoing basis, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), a division of the Department of the Treasury, is responsible for helping to insure that United States entities do not engage in transactions with “enemies” of the United States, as defined by various Executive Orders and Acts of Congress. If the Bank finds a name on any transaction, account or wire transfer that is on an OFAC list, it must freeze that account, file a suspicious activity report and notify the FBI. The Bank actively checks all OFAC areas including, but not limited to, new accounts, wire transfers and customer files.

In October 2001, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (“Patriot Act”) was enacted in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Northern Virginia. The Patriot Act is intended to strengthen U.S. law enforcement’s and the intelligence communities’ abilities to work cohesively to combat terrorism. The continuing impact on financial institutions of the Patriot Act and related regulations and policies is significant and wide ranging. The Patriot Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws, and imposes various regulations, including standards for verifying customer identification at account opening, and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators, and law enforcement entities to identify persons who may be involved in terrorism or money laundering.

The federal banking regulators adopted rules that limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. These limitations require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to a nonaffiliated third party. These regulations affect how consumer information is transmitted through diversified financial companies and conveyed to outside vendors.

In June 2010, the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), and FDIC issued a comprehensive final guidance on incentive compensation policies intended to ensure that the incentive compensation policies of banking organizations do not undermine the safety and soundness of such organizations by encouraging excessive risk-taking. The guidance, which covers all employees who have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of an organization, either individually or as part of a group, is based upon the key principles that a banking organization’s incentive compensation arrangements should (i) provide incentives that do not encourage risk-taking beyond the organization’s ability to effectively identify and manage risks, (ii) be compatible with effective internal controls and risk management, and (iii) be supported by strong corporate governance, including active and effective oversight by the organization’s board of directors.

The FDIC will review, as part of the regular, risk-focused examination process, the incentive compensation arrangements of banking organizations, such as our Company, that are not “large, complex banking organizations”. These reviews will be tailored to each organization based on the scope and complexity of the organization’s activities and the prevalence of incentive compensation arrangements. The findings of the supervisory initiatives will be included in reports of examination. Deficiencies will be incorporated into the organization’s supervisory ratings, which can affect the organization’s ability to make acquisitions and take other actions. Enforcement actions may be taken against a banking organization if its incentive compensation arrangements, or related risk-management control or governance processes, pose a risk to the organization’s safety and soundness and the organization is not taking prompt and effective measures to correct the deficiencies. Our Company’s Chief Risk Officer reviews all incentive compensation agreements to ensure that risk tolerance is appropriate and aligned with incentive compensation rules and guidance.

In October 2011, the SEC Division of Corporate Finance issued new guidance describing disclosures of cybersecurity incidents and attacks and the prevention and remediation measures and expenses that public companies have or may suffer. The Bank has in place an online banking channel, electronic mail services and select various systems which correspond with external public and private networks not owned or operated by us. The Bank’s online banking services are outsourced to a national firm specializing in internet banking and

protecting its clients from cyber attacks. Methods of defense include but are not limited to Secured Socket Layer (“SSL”) security, multifactor authentication and Internet Protocol (“IP”) white listing. The Bank also utilizes the services of an intrusion prevention firm to secure our inbound internet channels with real time monitoring and blocking of malicious activity. Event log monitoring activities are in place by the bank’s Information Technology staff and notifications are setup if abnormalities are detected. At December 31, 2011, the Bank has not experienced any significant security incidents. Adequate insurance coverage is in place should an incident pose financial and/or reputational risk.

Payment of Dividends

The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. Virtually all of the cash revenues of the Company results from dividends paid to the Company by the Bank. Under Virginia law, a Virginia chartered bank may not declare a dividend in excess of its retained earnings. As a Virginia corporation, the Bank may not declare a dividend if, after the dividend, it cannot pay its debts as they become due. A bank may not declare or pay any dividend if, after making the dividend, the bank would be “undercapitalized”, as defined in regulations of the FDIC. In addition, the Company is subject to various general regulatory policies relating to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain adequate capital above regulatory minimums. In April 2011, the Board of Directors voted to suspend common shareholders’ dividends.

Community Reinvestment

The requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) are applicable to the Bank. The CRA imposes on financial institutions an affirmative and ongoing obligation to meet the credit needs of their local communities, including low-to-moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions. A financial institution’s efforts in meeting community credit needs currently are evaluated as part of the examination process pursuant to a number of assessment factors. These factors also are considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or other facility. The Company strives to meet the credit needs of all aspects of its market, consistent with safe and sound banking practices. Bank of Botetourt received an “Outstanding” rating, as publicly disclosed in its most recent CRA examination report issued by the FDIC in December 2008. The Bank is being examined under the Intermediate Small Bank examination procedures during the first quarter of 2012, due to growth in assets.

Interstate Banking and Branching

Current Federal law authorizes interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies without geographic limitation. A bank headquartered in one state is able to merge with a bank headquartered in another state, as long as neither of the states has opted out of such interstate merger authority prior to such date. Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia and Maryland all permit such mergers. Once a bank has established branches in a state through an interstate merger transaction, the bank may establish and acquire additional branches at any location in the state where a bank headquartered in that state could have established or acquired branches under applicable Federal or state law.

Economic and Monetary Polices

The Company’s operations are affected not only by general local economic conditions, but also by the economic and monetary policies of various regulatory authorities. In particular, the Federal Reserve regulates money, credit and interest rates in order to influence general economic conditions. These policies have a significant influence on overall growth and distribution of loans, investments and deposits and affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits. Federal Reserve monetary policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future.

It seems that the worst of the economic downturn is in the past, but the economy still has many resources that are being underutilized. The national unemployment rate for January 2012 was 8.3%. This is a higher rate

than most economists would consider to be the natural rate of unemployment, but it is down considerably from the 10% peak in October 2009. Economic growth’s story is similar to unemployment: gross domestic product has improved from the worst of the recession when the economy was contracting, but its recent levels are still considered subpar. For 2012, the consensus economists’ prediction for gross domestic product is 2.3%. While positive, this is not the level that will quickly bring down the unemployment rate. Inflation, one of the main determinants of interest rates, continues to be close to or within the Federal Open Market Committee’s comfort zone of less than 2 percent on an annual basis. As long as inflation and inflation expectations remain in check, it is likely that interest rates will remain low. Inflation is forecasted to remain close to 2% through 2014, coinciding with the Federal Reserve’s statement of holding interest rates low through the same time period. The economy is showing improvement compared to the negative results from earlier in the downturn. However, it looks like a return to strong economic growth and low unemployment will take several years.

Overview

Management’s Discussion and Analysis is provided to assist in understanding and evaluating Botetourt Bankshares, Inc.’s financial condition and its results of operations. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Botetourt Bankshares, Inc., the parent company of Bank of Botetourt, has ten full-service offices operating in the four Virginia counties of Botetourt, Roanoke, Rockbridge and Franklin. Buchanan Service Corporation, a subsidiary of Bank of Botetourt, provides non-traditional banking services for customers of the Company, including insurance services and title insurance services. The individual market conditions of each county vary from rural to urban. The southern portion of Botetourt County has enjoyed both residential and industrial growth due to the development of subdivisions and industrial parks. Bank personnel work with local government and business leaders in an effort to continue to attract industry to our entire market area.

The past year continued to be a challenging one for the banking industry, domestically and globally. Additional financial institutions failed, although at a slower pace than in the prior year, and enforcement actions by regulatory agencies continued to be published, both of which further eroded the public’s confidence in our economic and banking systems. The industry continues to await new regulations and implementation timelines related to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The overall national economy was in the recovery phase of an economic cycle during 2011, although the recovery speed has been lackluster and has not been fully self-sustained due to the lack of recovery of the housing sector in various regions of the country and continued prolonged levels of high unemployment. In 2011, the residential mortgage industry experienced unprecedented low long-term mortgage rates, but tighter lending standards and reduced market values continued to make it difficult for consumers nationwide to refinance their homes. Housing prices remained stagnant and continued to impact local residential real estate developers, home sales, and mortgage defaults and foreclosures. Overall, the housing sector provided mixed economic results in 2011. The events described had an adverse impact on the Company in 2011. As a result of ongoing economic struggles of our customers, our bank needed to significantly increase the provision for loan losses to mitigate the risk profile of our Company. Additionally, the Company had increased collection and legal expenses related to asset quality issues. The financial result was a net loss for the Company in 2011. However, in spite of the negative environment, we remain optimistic long term. The stock market’s performance in 2011 had a positive impact on certain components of our equity capital. The year was marked by soft loan demand and the management team strategically restricted deposit growth to preserve capital ratios. Despite these ongoing challenges of our industry, management believes that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject, although our regulators encourage higher levels given the risk associated with our nonperforming assets. As a result, management developed and implemented strategies to help strengthen the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio. We remain committed to extending credit appropriately in our market area to promote local economic activity, without participating in a government sponsored plan to inject reserves or capital into our Company.

Critical Accounting Policy

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for the year ended December 31, 2011 contain a summary of its significant accounting policies. Management believes the Company’s policy with respect to the methodology for the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Accordingly, the Company considers the policy related to the allowance for loan losses critical.

Results of Operations

The Company experienced a $2.9 million net loss compared to a $0.1 million net loss for 2010. The increased net loss was a direct impact of the anemic economic recovery related to our regional housing market’s decreasing collateral values, slow sales, foreclosures, and bankruptcies. The lower earnings were primarily due to expensing $7.5 million into the loan loss reserve during the year, which management deemed a necessary measure due to the current economic environment, relatively high levels of impaired and past due loans, and risk profile of the Company. Return on average assets was (0.90)% in 2011 and (0.04)% in 2010 compared to the peer group banks for which return on assets was 0.71% in 2011 and 0.49% in 2010. In 2011 and 2010, our peer group included 1,169 insured domestic commercial banks in the United States having assets between $300 million and $1 billion at December 31, 2011. During 2011 and 2010 revenues from Bank of Botetourt represented greater than 99% of Botetourt Bankshares, Inc.’s total revenues.

The total assets of Botetourt Bankshares, Inc. were $306.6 million at year-end 2011 compared to $309.5 million at year-end 2010, a 0.94% decrease. The Company’s average equity to average assets ratio of is 7.89% at December 31, 2011, compared to the peer group average of 9.42% at the same date.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the principal source of bank earnings, is the amount of income generated by earning assets (primarily loans and investment securities) less the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities (primarily deposits used to fund earning assets). Table 1 summarizes the major components of net interest income for the past three years and also provides yields and average balances.

Net interest income was $10.9 million in 2011, $11.0 million in 2010 and $9.9 million in 2009. Net interest income decreased in 2011 as interest income decreased slightly more rapidly than did interest expense. The Federal Open Market Committee kept its posture of low short term interest rates for an extended period of time as the Bank maintained our overall asset sensitive balance sheet, although we continued to be liability sensitive in the less than one year categories. In 2011, our rate sensitive liabilities (primarily deposits) repriced at lower market rates more quickly than our rate sensitive assets (primarily loans). These repricing opportunities and a shift in the deposit mix to noninterest bearing accounts afforded marginal improvement in the Bank’s net interest margin. The net interest margin for 2011 increased by 2 basis points to 3.81% compared to 3.79% for 2010. The stable net interest margin resulted in similar levels of net interest income in 2011 and 2010, as quantified above. The effects of changes in volumes and rates on net interest income in 2011 compared to 2010, and 2010 compared to 2009, are shown in Table 2.

Interest income for 2011 decreased by $1.2 million, or 7.4%, to $15.0 million from $16.2 million in 2010. Interest income in 2009 totaled $16.6 million. The decrease in interest income in 2011 from 2010 and in 2010 from 2009 were the result of the historically low and prolonged interest rate environment, which resulted in our interest earning assets repricing at lower interest rates, and generating a lower volume of loans at lower interest rates. Additionally, placing loans in nonaccrual status in 2011 and 2010 resulted in the reversal of interest income of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Interest expense decreased in 2011 by $1.1 million, or 21.2%, to $4.1 million from $5.2 million in 2010. The decrease in interest expense in both 2011 and 2010 was due to a lower interest rate environment in both years, deposit shrinkage in 2011, and a shift from interest-bearing to non-interest bearing deposits in 2011. From 2010 to 2011, interest paid on time deposits, which make up the largest portion of interest-bearing liabilities, decreased $1.0 million, or 20.6%. The average rate paid on time deposits decreased 43 basis points to 2.10% in 2011 from 2.53% in 2010.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

One of the principal goals of the Bank’s asset and liability management strategy is to manage interest rate risk. Interest rate risk management balances the effects of interest rate changes on interest earning assets or interest bearing liabilities, to protect the Bank from wide fluctuations in its net interest income which could result from interest rates changes.

Interest rate risk is measured by the changes in interest rates and the impact on interest income and interest expense as interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities either reprice or mature. Management attempts to maintain the portfolios of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with maturities or repricing opportunities at levels that will afford protection from erosion of net interest margin resulting from changes in interest rates, to the extent practical. Table 3 shows the sensitivity of the Bank’s balance sheet on December 31, 2011. Included in the interest-bearing liabilities subject to interest rate changes within three months are NOW accounts, money market accounts, and savings accounts which historically have not been as interest-sensitive as other types of interest-bearing deposits, but whose rates can change immediately at the Bank’s discretion. Based on the model below, the Bank is liability-sensitive in the one to three months and four to twelve months time horizons and asset-sensitive in the thirteen to sixty months and greater than sixty months time horizons.

Matching sensitivity positions alone does not ensure that the Bank has no interest rate risk. All banks have interest rate risk. The repricing characteristics of assets are different from the repricing characteristics of funding sources such as deposits. Thus, net interest income can be impacted by changes in interest rates even if the repricing opportunities of assets and liabilities are perfectly matched. The preceding table shows the sensitivity of the Company’s balance sheet at the date indicated, but is not necessarily indicative of the position on other dates.

The Bank has established risk measures, limits, and policy guidelines for managing our overall asset/liability management (“ALM”) position. The responsibility for interest rate risk control resides with senior

management’s Asset/Liability Committee, with oversight by the Board of Directors. Management seeks to balance the earnings potential and interest rate risk position, both of which are within stated Bank policy tolerance parameters at December 31, 2011.

On a quarterly basis, the ALM position is measured using earnings simulation modeling to estimate what assets and liabilities would reprice, and to what extent, within a one-year period in response to an immediate positive and negative 100, 200 and 300 basis point change in market interest rates. On an annual basis, the ALM position is measured using the same earnings simulation modeling at an immediate 400 basis point change in market interest rates. The model also incorporates management’s forecasts for balance sheet growth, noninterest income, noninterest expense, and dividend payments. The interest rate scenarios are used for analytical purposes and do not necessarily represent management’s view of future market movements. The model simulation is intended to provide a measure of the degree of volatility that interest rate movements may impact our earnings. Modeling the sensitivity of earnings to interest rate risk is highly dependent on numerous assumptions embedded in the simulation model. While the earnings sensitivity analysis incorporates management’s best estimate of interest rate and balance sheet dynamics under various market rate movements, the actual behavior and resulting earnings impact likely will differ from that projected. Back testing results comparing the model’s past predictions to actual results in 2011 were favorable and deemed the model credible for management’s reliance.

Other Income

Noninterest income consists of revenues generated from a broad range of financial services and activities. The majority of noninterest income is a result of service charges on deposits, including charges for insufficient funds items and fees charged for nondeposit services such as safe deposit box rental fees. Mortgage loan origination fees and financial services commissions also are a significant source of the Company’s noninterest income. In 2011 and 2010, residential real estate loan activity and the resulting mortgage origination fees and related title insurance commissions declined amid a weak housing sector during the recovery phase of this economic cycle. Noninterest income totaled $2.0 million in 2011, an increase of $0.1 million from the $1.9 million in 2010. Primary sources of noninterest income for the past two years are summarized in Table 4.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for 2011 increased by $0.7 million or 7.5% to $10.0 million from $9.3 million recorded in 2010, as shown in Table 5. The overhead ratio of noninterest expense to adjusted total revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income) was 77.3% in 2011 and 71.4% in 2010. A higher overhead ratio in 2011 is attributed to the decrease in net interest income described above as well as an increase in noninterest expense described below.

Personnel expense, including salaries, wages, and employee benefits is the primary noninterest expense of the Company. There was a decrease in total personnel expense in 2011, attributable to fewer full-time equivalent

employees and lower expenses related to employee benefits. In 2011, expenses related to asset quality problems are reflected in increases in the expenses associated with foreclosed assets such as writedowns resulting from annual collateral valuations, collection, and outside services for legal fees related to problem loans.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense is based on amounts reported in the statements of operations (after adjustments for non-taxable income and non-deductible expenses) and consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes on temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future Federal income tax return consequences of those differences, which will be taxable or deductible, depending when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

Income tax benefit was $1.6 million in 2011 and $0.2 million in 2010 representing 35.9% and 64.8% of loss before income taxes, respectively. Tax benefit increased $1.4 million from 2010 to 2011 primarily as a result of the net loss.

Earning Assets

Average earning assets decreased $5.4 million in 2011 from the 2010 average of $291.4 million. Total average earning assets represented 91.5% and 92.2% of total average assets in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The percentage mix of average earning assets changed in 2011 with decreases in average loans, investment securities,

and federal funds sold. The Company strategically decided to increase its cash balance at the Federal Reserve Bank because of higher interest rates being paid on excess reserves and therefore deposits in other banks increased. Average nonearning assets increased in 2011 as a result of an increase in other assets. The increase in other assets was primarily due to an increase in current income tax receivable, foreclosed assets, and deferred income taxes. A summary of average assets for the past three years is shown in Table 6.

Investment Securities

The Bank uses its investment portfolio to provide liquidity for unexpected deposit decreases or increased loan funding, to meet the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity goals, and to generate income. Management of the investment portfolio has always been conservative with virtually all investments in U.S. Treasury, Government-sponsored enterprises, and state and local bond issues. All securities are investment grade. Management views the investment portfolio as a secondary source of income. Adjustments are sometimes necessary in the portfolio to provide an adequate source of liquidity that can be used to meet funding requirements for loan demand and deposit fluctuations and to control interest rate risk. Therefore, from time to time, management may sell certain securities prior to their maturity. Table 7 presents the investment portfolio at the end of 2011 by major types of investments and maturity ranges. The Other category represents one corporate equity security with a cost basis of $1 and fair market value of $46,383.

At December 31, 2011, the market value of the investment portfolio was $15.6 million, representing $472,000 unrealized appreciation above amortized cost. This compared to a market value of $15.1 million and $72,000 unrealized appreciation above amortized cost a year earlier.

Investment securities are classified according to management’s intent. At December 31, 2011, all investment securities were classified as available for sale.

Loans

Average net loans totaled $253.1 million during 2011, a decrease of $6.2 million or 2.4% from 2010. This decrease reflects the soft loan demand in our markets during the economic recovery along with management’s strategic intent to reduce total assets and the exiting of loans to other real estate owned or charge-offs. The largest portion of the loan portfolio, $116.4 million or 46.6%, is made up of loans secured by residential properties such as 1-4 family, home equity, and residential construction loans. Commercial real estate represented $88.7 million or 35.5% of total loans at the end of 2011.

The Bank makes both consumer and commercial loans in all neighborhoods within its market area, including low-to-moderate income areas. Our market area is generally defined to be all or portions of the Botetourt, Roanoke, Rockbridge, and Franklin counties of Virginia and the cities of Lexington, Buena Vista and Roanoke, Virginia. The Bank places emphasis on consumer based installment loans and commercial loans to small and medium sized businesses. Prior to the recession, aggressive pricing and competition from unregulated organizations had been a challenge when generating new loans. Due to the prolonged stagnant economic recovery, loan demand remained soft in 2011, resulting in decreases in volume in the commercial, commercial real estate, consumer and residential loan categories at December 31, 2011, while demand for agricultural and raw land loans increased.

Interest rates charged on loans vary with the degree of risk, maturity and amount of the loan. Competitive pressures, money market rates, availability of funds, and government regulation also influence interest rates. On average, loans yielded 5.8% in 2011 compared to an average yield of 6.0% in 2010 and 6.1% in 2009.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established to absorb losses in our loan portfolio. 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 designed to be sufficient to absorb estimated credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management believes to be adequate to absorb losses. 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. 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 within the loan portfolio. Regulators also routinely review the Bank’s loans and other assets to assess their quality.

In addition to our quarterly management review, the Bank engages an independent third party review of our loan portfolio on an annual basis to validate our internal risk ratings and to provide an additional assessment of asset quality. This review further strengthens our loan grading and risk rating process and ultimately provides management additional information to quantify our allowance for loan losses. Credits deemed uncollectible are charged to the allowance. Provisions for loan losses and recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the allowance. Management determines the amount of the provision for loan losses that we believe will maintain the allowance at an appropriate and adequate level.

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 loans that are classified as impaired, for which an allowance, including an estimate for selling costs, is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value, or observable market price of the loan is lower than its carrying value. Management is proactive in obtaining current third party appraisals in the valuation process. Each quarter, the aging of appraisals on nonperforming loans is reviewed. Loan administration employees and lending officers determine the type and scope of the appraisal needed to ensure proper valuation. In 2011, market value appraisals were deemed necessary in nearly all cases. Appraisals are ordered, received, and reviewed in a timely manner. The appraisals are tested for reasonableness in the review process and while uncommon, if there is not full concurrence from loan administration analysts and lending officers, another independent appraisal may be ordered. From time to time, the Bank’s lending officers, in conjunction with our credit analyst, may discount an appraisal should economic conditions, sales trends, or other relevant information warrant such action. During 2011, discounts ranging from 10% to 40% were applied to certain values based on an internal analysis of local market conditions and the age of the last valuation. At the time of discounting, management estimates and discloses the fair value of these loans to be further impaired and therefore below the appraised value. To a lesser extent, management performs discounted cash flow analysis on certain non-collateral dependent impaired loans in the valuation process. The Bank’s chief lender and credit analyst consider the future cash flows related to the borrower and apply the contractual interest rate to discount the cash flows to its net present value. Reasonable assumptions are used in the process in determining any loss exposure for the loans valued under this method. Also to a lesser extent, management uses residential broker price opinion reports in unique situations where an appraisal is deemed unnecessary and the residential property is homogenous to other similar loans in the portfolio category. The Bank’s chief lender and credit analyst review the report for appropriateness. All of these tools assisted management in quantifying the specific component of the reserve.

The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. In 2011 and 2010, historical losses were categorized into risk-similar loan pools and a loss ratio factor, based on average loss history for the current year and two prior years, was applied to each group’s loan balances to determine the allocation. In 2009, historical losses were categorized into risk-similar loan pools, and a loss ratio factor, based on average loss history for the current year and three prior years, were applied to each group’s loan balances to determine the allocation. Prior to 2009, a five-year historical period was used in the model. Given the magnitude and duration of the most recent recession and the subsequent stagnant recovery along with the current economic climate in which we operate, we shortened the historic loss period over the past fiscal years in order to ensure the most relevant data is being used in the model.

An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used to estimate specific and general losses in the portfolio. The qualitative and environmental 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 and the Bank’s risk profile, 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, banking industry conditions, the effect of changes in credit concentrations, and national and local economic trends and conditions. For the unallocated component, we perform a thorough economic analysis using economic statistical data obtained from a professional third party vendor, from the Federal Reserve Bank, and from other appropriate public domain sources. The economic data is reviewed, interpreted, and applied to our loan portfolio to quantify the possible financial impact of the current and forecasted economic environment on our loan portfolio.

The complete evaluation process is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Therefore, management continually evaluates the adequacy of the loan loss reserve to maintain it at a level sufficient to absorb estimated credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

In 2011, loan growth continued to be weak in the Bank’s market areas. Bank management elected to make additional provisions to our allowance for loan losses in 2011 as a necessary measure to respond to the risk profile in our loan portfolio, the uncertainty of the future economic climate and speed of the recovery, the ongoing sluggish local real estate and housing market impacting our borrowers in this industry, and continued high levels of impaired loans and loan delinquencies. The loan loss provision expense in 2011 was $7.5 million compared to $4.0 in 2010 and $1.8 in 2009. The historically large provision was primarily related to exposure in residential spec construction and lot loans, which continues to experience a decline in housing values and slowed sales, especially in the Smith Mountain Lake portion of our service area.

The loan loss provision allocated for 2011 reflects the amount determined by management to maintain the reserve at a level we believe to be adequate based on the overall risk in the portfolio. The Bank’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans at the end of 2011 was 2.40% as compared to 1.96% in 2010 and 1.50% in 2009. The consistent increase in the percentage of allowance for loan losses is directionally consistent with the estimated credit losses in our loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses, net charge-offs and the activity in the allowance for loan losses is detailed in Table 10. The 2011 and 2010 data is segmented by the disclosure requirements related to Receivables used by the Company, as we feel this presentation makes for a better presentation to the users of the information as they read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the related financial statements. Loan data is segmented differently for years-ended 2007 through 2009.

result in some of these loans being uncollectible, particularly if economic conditions worsen or economic growth stalls in 2012. Referred to as management’s watch list, total loan volume on this observation list at December 31, 2011 was $42.2 million compared to $43.6 million at December 31, 2010. Of these amounts, $27.5 and $27.6 million were considered classified loans at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Classified loans are defined as substandard, doubtful, or loss. See Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements for full definitions of our credit quality indicators. Due to the economy in which we are operating and the trend in problem loans, we have increased significantly the volume of loans that management monitors closely, primarily in the real estate construction and housing industries. The downturn in those markets can affect both the borrower’s ability to repay the loan on time and the value of the collateral. Sales in the local real estate housing market continue to struggle. Management remains diligent in identifying and monitoring such loans. Our actions resulted in more loans added to the watch list. Some of the watch list loans, or others identified in the future, should they become nonaccrual status, could increase the volume of nonperforming loans in Table 12. Management will continue to monitor these loans and will take appropriate action when deemed necessary, such as in 2011. The Bank has allocated reserves to the extent deemed appropriate in the allowance for loan losses.

The ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans increased substantially in 2011 compared to 2010. The residential loan segment was the most dramatically impacted as $4.3 million or 64.5% of total net charge-offs were in this loan category. This was primarily the result of six large credit relationships with real estate developers, builders, or individuals whose performance continued to deteriorate during 2011. The predominance of charge-offs in this loan category over the past two years are geographically centered at the Smith Mountain Lake area of our market, which has encountered the most substantial decline in real estate values due to excess inventory. Any exposure that resulted from deficient collateral values was charged-off to the allowance. In addition, commercial real estate loans incurred a high volume of charge-offs as our local real estate market continued to experience weakness. While each loan may have circumstances that warrant other considerations, the Bank’s charge-off policy provides guidance in the timing of the charge-off process. The general guidance states that unsecured installment loans, including credit cards, which are six payments past due and have not received payments within the last 60 days will normally be recommended for charge-off. Unsecured time loans which are 90 days past due will normally be recommended for charge-off. Repossession of collateral is recommended for secured installment and time loans which are three payments past due and have not received payment within the past 60 days. Any remaining balance after the sale of collateral is typically charged off when the loan is 90 days past due and no payments have been received in the last 90 days. The charge-off review and recommendation process occurs monthly. Partial charge-offs are permitted when appropriate, such as charging off portions of collateral dependent impaired loans, but are less common than a typical full charge-off. In all cases, charge-offs are reported to the Board of Directors. During this economic cycle, our loan officers worked extensively with past due loan customers and exhausted all reasonable work-out attempts prior to charging off the loan. These efforts were supported by our management’s philosophy and at the government’s encouragement. The decision to charge-off loans likely will continue in 2012, although not anticipated by management to exceed the historical net charge-off levels of 2011. These charge-off trends are considered in the quarterly review of the allowance for loan losses. High levels of charge-offs have a negative impact on the allowance for loan losses as they reduce the level of reserves. Additionally, the recorded charge-offs are reflected in the historical loss factors component of the model in future years, likely necessitating the ongoing need to maintain the reserve at higher levels until more normal economic times prevail.

The allowance for loan losses was 2.40% of gross loans outstanding at December 31, 2011. This represents an increase of $0.8 million compared to the reserve at December 31, 2010. From December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011, impaired loans and their related loss exposure decreased by $5.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. However, the reserve for the historical loss factor nearly doubled maintaining directional consistency as management increased the provision for loan losses in 2011.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include loan balance, risk rating, payment status, recent payment history, principal curtailment on lines of credit, extensions granted,

maturity date advancement, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. A loan may be considered impaired by management and still be expected to generate full repayment of both principal and interest, but not according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines 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 in relation to the principal and interest owed. When testing for impairment, management also considers other loan details such as principal curtailment on lines of credit, extensions granted, the loan’s internal risk rating, and advancing the loan’s maturity date as indicators of possible loan impairment.

Borrowers continued to struggle to repay loans on time. Impaired loans amounted to $21.2 million at December 31, 2011 compared to $26.4 million at December 31, 2010. The volume of impaired loans and their related loss exposure decreased in 2011 and remain manageable. Maintaining current and updated appraisals on impaired loans in the portfolio is part of the Company’s best practices and provides objective evidence of our calculated loss exposure. 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.

The Bank recognizes that reducing impaired loans or other real estate owned may be a slow process. Real estate collateral may be difficult to liquidate at desired values in the current economic climate. Sales of our collateral could be hampered by the sales efforts of similar properties of other lenders in the same market. General economic trends greatly affect loan losses, and no assurances can be made about future losses. Management does, however, believe the allowance provided adequate coverage for possible loan losses at December 31, 2011.

The allocation of the allowance for loan losses is detailed in Table 11 below:

Nonperforming and Problem Assets

Certain credit risks are inherent in making loans, particularly residential, commercial, and consumer loans. Management prudently assesses these risks and attempts to manage them effectively. The Bank attempts to use shorter-term loans to minimize interest rate risk and, although a portion of the loans have been made based upon the value of collateral, we rely primarily on the cash flow of the borrower as the source of repayment rather than the value of the collateral.

The Bank also attempts to reduce repayment risks by adhering to internal credit policies and procedures. These policies and procedures include officer and customer limits, proper loan documentation, and follow up on exceptions to credit policies. The practice of lending funds to less creditworthy borrowers has negatively impacted the banking and mortgage industries. Our Bank does not engage in such sub-prime lending activities. As a practice, the Bank does not establish interest reserves for loans retained in our portfolio. The Bank does participate loans for requests in excess of our legal lending limit. To further mitigate risks, the Bank regularly monitors for loan concentrations. For information related to concentrations see Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies.

The housing industry was at the nucleus of the recent economic recession and is yielding mixed signals during the recovery phase of the economic cycle. As a result, the banking industry has experienced delinquencies with junior liens, including home equity loans, thereby labeling these loan categories as higher-risk loans. These categories represent 9.31% of the Bank’s loan portfolio. Of the loan balances in this category, 3.70% (0.34% of total loans) of those junior liens are past due and 0.56% (0.05% of total loans) are in nonaccrual status. 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.

Nonperforming assets, shown in Table 12 below, were $24.0 million at December 31, 2011 and $21.5 million at December 31, 2010. The increase from 2010 to 2011 in the total composition of nonperforming assets is primarily due to increases in nonaccrual loans and foreclosed properties, partially offset by the decreases in loans past due 90 days or more and restructured loans. Management anticipated this shift as it shows that problem loan are properly and sequentially migrating from past due, to nonaccural status, to foreclosure until ultimately exiting our balance sheet.

From 2010 to 2011, nonaccrual loans increased by $4.2 million to $13.2 million as a result of distressed borrowers’ inability to repay their debts. During 2011, there was an increase in foreclosed properties, as there were ongoing acquisitions, holdings, and disposals during the year. Appraisals are obtained generally at the time of foreclosure to ensure a proper valuation when the foreclosed properties are recorded. During the holding phase, current appraisals are obtained and any necessary writedowns are expensed as incurred. Total writedown expenses related to the holding phase of foreclosed properties in 2011 was $0.9 million. At disposition, a gain or loss on sale is recorded. Sales of foreclosed properties resulted in an aggregrate net loss on sale of $86,000 in 2011 and is recorded in the noninterest expense foreclosed assets, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. At December 31, 2011, foreclosed assets consisted of properties related to 19 loans totaling $5.3 million. The categories of the foreclosed properties were 42.7% in construction and land development, 41.2% in 1-4 family residential, and 16.1% in nonfarm nonresidential. All foreclosed properties are generally marketed for sale within a reasonable time of acquisition. In certain instances, foreclosed properties are rented. As anticipated at December 31, 2010, the total of foreclosed properties grew in 2011. The trend is likely to continue in 2012 as management migrates problem assets off the balance sheet. The longer the duration of the holding phase of foreclosed properties, the greater the adverse impact on earnings.

During this unprecedented econmic cycle, the Bank made a conscious effort to attempt work-out loan situations with past due customers. In some cases, loan extensions are granted if the loan officer deems that the borrower’s capacity to pay is temporarily impeded. The Bank monitors for multiple extensions as criteria for possible loan impairment. A loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Bank granted a concession whereby the original terms of the loan were modified to

favor the borrower. Bank management has procedures and processes in place to identify, monitor, and report troubled debt restructurings. In several cases during 2011, loan restructuring was deemed appropriate. The volume of restructured loans grew $0.8 million to $9.2 million at December 31, 2011 from $8.4 million at December 31, 2010. The troubled debt restructurings were spread among various loan categories. In some cases, additional collateral was obtained. The concessions granted in 2011 included entering into forbearance agreements, modifying repayment terms to interest only, extending the maturity date, and lowering interest rates. At December 31, 2011, $4.7 million of troubled debt restructurings was on nonaccrual status. As a community bank, management has supported a philosophy of working with its customers during this economic cycle. The Bank has had some initial success in this area but trend analysis indicates that a greater percentage of loans previously restructured moved to nonperforming status in 2011. In some of the unsuccessful restructuring cases, charge-off of principal occurred but in no case was principal forgiven. The ratio of nonperforming restructured loans to total restructured loans was 55.3% in 2011 compared to 37.9% in 2010. Despite the increase in this metric, Bank management maintains its philosophy of working with its customers to exhaust plausible options during the economic recovery. The downside risk to our philosophy has resulted in an adverse impact to earnings occurring later in the economic cycle than many of our peer banks. We acknowledge that the success of our efforts has been limited. Details about the troubled debt restructurings are provided in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

Loans, including troubled debt restructurings, 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 continue to allocate a significant number of employees in managing our lending portfolio as warranted by the asset quality issues discussed above.

Nonaccrual loans increased to $13.2 million at December 31, 2011 from $9.0 million at December 31, 2010. During 2011, we continued our careful monitoring and review of all credit relationships, particularly troubled credit relationships. There were additions to nonaccrual assets during each quarter of 2011 which resulted in a reversal of approximately $0.4 million of interest income for the year-ended December 31, 2011. This action did not materially change our allowance for loan losses, as the exposure in these relationships had been identified in prior periods. Concurrently, loans exited 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, normally for six months, according to contractual terms. The combined effect of all nonaccrual activity resulted in a net increase in nonaccrual loans in the amount of $4.2 million. This increase was anticipated as we migrate problem loans from past due to nonaccrual status to repossessed property, if applicable, and ultimately exiting our balance sheet. The ongoing nonaccrual loan balances have significantly increased our nonearning assets, which will continue to have a financial impact on the Bank in the form of foregone interest income until the loans are removed from nonaccrual status.

We consider the overall negative trend in our nonperforming assets a result of the recessionary impact of the economy and the aftermath of awaiting a sustained recovery, primarily located in one specific area of our market, as well as problem loan scenarios encountered during the normal course of business. To mitigate the risks associated with our loan portfolio, additional emphasis has been placed on the collections and troubled assets function of the Bank as a necessary action during this phase of the economic cycle. Additionally, commercial loan officers’ job duties have been reprioritized to assist in the collection, legal, and work out efforts of troubled credit relationships. Our Bank has performed loan stress tests to help quantify potential maximum exposure in our loan portfolio, especially on loans with real estate collateral located in the most distressed and saturated market in our delineated area. Additionally, the Bank monitors and stress tests concentrations in our loan portfolio to isolate risk to industry specific credit as well as large individual borrowers. In 2011, the Bank hired a financial consulting company to assist Bank management with regulatory consulting, a migration schedule for

problem assets, asset/liability management, and strategic planning. Bank management acknowledges risks inherent in our portfolio but believes our allowance for loan losses is adequate and our capital levels are sufficient to absorb potential losses studied in the loan stress test.

Nonperforming assets are analyzed in Table 12 for the last five years.

Deposits

The Bank relies on deposits generated in its market area to provide the majority of funds needed to support lending activities and for investments in liquid assets. More specifically, core deposits (total deposits less certificates of deposits in denominations of $100,000 or more) are the primary funding source. The Bank’s balance sheet growth is largely determined by the availability of deposits in its markets, the cost of attracting the deposits, and the prospects of profitably utilizing the available deposits by increasing the loan or investment portfolios. Market conditions have resulted in depositors shopping for deposit rates and increased customer awareness of interest rates adds to the importance of interest rate management. The Bank’s management must continuously monitor market pricing, competitor’s rates, and internal interest rate spreads, in addition to predicting future loan volume, to align the Bank’s balance sheet goals and achieve profitability. In 2011, the Bank attempted to structure rates to retain core deposits but to shrink overall deposit and asset growth simultaneously, manage risk, and increase overall profitability.

Average total deposits for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $284.3 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 0.80% from 2010. The Bank made a conscious and strategic decision to control the pace of deposit growth during 2011. The percentage of the Bank’s average deposits that are interest-bearing decreased to 87.3% in 2011 from 88.3% in 2010. Average demand deposits which earn no interest increased to $36.1 million in 2011 from $33.6 million in 2010, compared with $33.1 million in 2009. Average deposits and average rates paid for the past three years are summarized in Table 13.

The average balance of small denomination certificates of deposit decreased by $7.2 million or 5.7% in 2011 and the average balance of certificates of deposit issued in denominations of $100,000 or more decreased by $1.4 million or 1.9% in 2011. The decline in certificates of deposit is attributed to customer preference as customers are depositing matured funds into other deposit products as they await a higher interest rate environment. Time deposits held by municipalities and other public funds sources increased to $4.7 million in 2011 from $3.3 million in 2010. The bank had one brokered deposit in the amount of $250,000 at December 31, 2011. In general, management’s strategy has been to support loan and investment growth with core deposits in our primary market area with minimal reliance on more volatile, large denomination brokered certificates of deposit. In 2011, management’s strategy was to reduce deposits in response to weak loan demand and to improve capital ratios. In Table 14 provides maturity information relating to Certificate of Deposits of $100,000 or more at December 31, 2011.

Capital Adequacy

Stockholders’ equity was $23.6 million at December 31, 2011, an 8.9% decrease from the 2010 year-end total of $25.9 million. The decrease was primarily a result of the Company’s net loss, a decrease in the market value of equity securities, and a payment of dividends. Dividends were not paid after the first quarter of 2011. The decrease was partially offset by an adjustment in other comprehensive income for defined benefit and post retirement health benefits, an appreciation in the market value of available for sale securities, and stock issued under the dividend reinvestment plan. Average stockholders’ equity as a percentage of average total assets was 7.9% in 2011, 8.4% in 2010, and 8.5% in 2009.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate mandatory or discretionary actions by regulators that could have a direct material effect on the Company the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the

 

32


Table of Contents

regulatory framework for prompt corrective action under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (“FDICIA”), the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Regulatory requirements relating to capital adequacy provide minimum risk-based ratios that assess capital adequacy while encompassing all credit risks, including those related to off-balance sheet activities. Capital ratios under these guidelines are computed by weighing the relative risk of each asset category to derive risk-adjusted assets. The risk-based capital guidelines require minimum ratios of core (Tier 1) capital (common stockholders’ equity) to risk-weighted assets of 4.0% and total regulatory capital (core capital plus allowance for loan losses up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets) to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%. As of December 31, 2011 the Company and Bank had ratios of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 9.5% and 9.4%, respectively, and ratios of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.9% and 10.8%, respectively. These ratios are below our peer group average but are in excess of all regulatory minimum requirements.

In addition, a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total assets for the previous quarter is required by federal bank regulators, ranging from 3.0% to 5.0%, subject to the regulator’s evaluation of the Bank’s overall safety and soundness. As of December 31, 2011, both the Company and the Bank had ratios of year-end Tier 1 capital to average total assets for the fourth quarter of 2011 of 7.2%. Table 15 sets forth summary information with respect to the Company and the Bank’s capital ratios at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. All capital ratio levels indicate that the Company and the Bank are well capitalized, as quantitatively established and measured by regulation, and as presented in Note 14 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

At December 31, 2011 the Company had 1,253,542 shares of common stock outstanding, which were held by approximately 893 stockholders of record. Given the volume of our nonperforming assets and the Company’s risk profile, our regulators have encouraged higher levels of capital. In response, the Company maintains a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan allowing existing stockholders to increase their ownership. The number of participants grew 40.2% during 2011 and transaction activity is detailed in Note 17 of the consolidated financial statements. This strategic capital planning decision provides the Company with an additional opportunity to maintain the appropriate level of capital necessary while concurrently giving existing stockholders an investment opportunity. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company initiated a Common Stock Rights Offering. Under the terms of the rights offering, the Company distributed, at no charge to holders of its common stock on the record date, rights to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a subscription

price of $7.65 per full share. As a result of the rights offering, on January 19, 2012, the Company generated approximately $1.2 million of net proceeds through the issuance of 155,722 new shares of the Company’s common stock which will postively impact capital ratios subsequent to December 31, 2011.

Larger financial institutions are subject to new global regulatory standards on capital adequacy as agreed by the members of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. While our Bank is not subject to these new regulatory standards, we anticipate that we may face higher capital level expectations by regulatory demands in the coming years. Additionally, capital market outlets have been limited and could present challenges in the future for the industry. The Company maintains a capital contingency plan outlining strategies available in the event of circumstances that would require additional capital raising efforts, such as the issuance of preferred stock. At December 31, 2011, management believes our capital levels are suffient to absorb potential losses identified in our loan portfolio.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

For more information regarding financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, see Note 14 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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. Management must ensure that adequate funds are available at all times to meet the needs of our customers. On the asset side of the balance sheet, cash, maturing investments, loan payments, maturing loans, federal funds sold, and unpledged investment securities are principal sources of liquidity. On the liability side of the balance sheet, liquidity sources include core deposits, the ability to increase large denomination certificates, federal funds lines and repurchase agreement lines from correspondent banks, borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank, as well as the ability to generate funds through the issuance of long-term debt and equity. The liquidity ratio (the level of liquid assets divided by total deposits plus short-term liabilities) is considered to be adequate by management. Given the stressors and potential volatility in the financial markets economic uncertanity, and unexpected cash outflows, the Bank maintains a contingency liquidity plan to identify funding sources in the event of a liquidity crisis.

The Bank uses cash, excess reserves at the Federal Reserve Bank, and federal funds sold to meet its short-term daily funding needs. During 2011, the interest rate environment was not conducive to purchasing longer-term investments. Management determines, based on items such as loan demand and deposit activity, an appropriate level of cash, excess reserves, and federal funds sold and seeks to maintain that level.

There were no material changes in the Company’s overall liquidity position at December 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010. Federal funds lines and repurchase agreement lines available from correspondent banks totaled $18.0 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, there was no outstanding balance on these lines.

The secondary liquidity source for both short-term and long-term borrowings consists of an approximate $14.7 million secured line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. No balance was outstanding on this line at December 31, 2011 or 2010. 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 December 31, 2010, a $6.0 million letter of credit in favor of the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Treasury Board, to secure public deposits, reduced the available credit from this line to $8.7 million. With a 110% collateral pledging requirement, this leaves the Company approximately $7.9 million for secondary liquidity needs.

The Bank has an approved $1.0 million Discount Window facility with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond as part of its Contingency Liquidity Plan. There was no balance outstanding on this line at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

The Bank is 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 has limitations but can be used to attract new deposits, diversify our funding sources, and manage liquidity.

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 if necessary, 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. All of the Bank’s investments in its portfolio are unpledged with an average maturity of 5.2 years. These investments are a source of liquid funds as they can be sold in any interest rate environment without causing significant harm to the current period’s results of operations.

Management believes that the Company has no counterparty risk and maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Botetourt Bankshares, Inc.

Buchanan, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Botetourt Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Botetourt Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Botetourt Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Virginia bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Botetourt (the “Bank”). The Bank is a Virginia state-chartered bank subject to regulation by the Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank provides full banking services through ten branch offices in Botetourt, Roanoke, Rockbridge, and Franklin counties in Virginia. The Bank has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Buchanan Service Corporation, which conducts its operations through an interest in an insurance company and two title insurance companies, and as an agent for sale of life and disability insurance. The Company is subject to supervision by the Federal Reserve.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company, the Bank and Buchanan Service Corporation follow generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and general practices of the financial services industry, within the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) structure of authoritative literature. Following is a summary of the more significant policies.

Critical Accounting Policy

Management believes the policy with respect to the methodology for the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of complexity. Management must make difficult and subjective judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could cause reported results to differ materially. This critical policy and its application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and Board of Directors.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, and Buchanan Service Corporation. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Business Segments

The Company reports its activities as a single business segment. In determining proper segment definition, the Company considers the materiality of a potential segment and components of the business about which financial information is available and regularly evaluated, relative to resource allocation and performance assessment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans, the valuation of foreclosed assets such as real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, fair value of financial instruments, deferred taxes, and employee benefit plans.

Interest-bearing Deposits with Banks

Interest-bearing deposits with banks are carried at cost.

Trading Securities

The Company does not hold securities for short-term resale and therefore does not maintain a trading securities portfolio.

Investment Securities

Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and recorded at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity or trading, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as “available for sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or pay-off, are reported at their outstanding principal amount adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans.

Loan origination fees and costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment to the yield on the related loan. Discounts and premiums on any purchased residential real estate loans are amortized to approximate the interest method over the remaining period contractual maturity, adjusted for anticipated prepayments. Discounts and premiums on any purchased consumer loans are recognized over the expected lives of the loans using methods that approximate the interest method.

Interest is accrued and credited to income based on the principal amount outstanding. The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. Management also considers the adequacy of collateral and the state of the collection process. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. We apply payments received on nonaccrual loans first to outstanding principal, and the residual amount, if any, is applied to interest. When facts, circumstances, and consistent performance indicate the borrower has regained the ability to meet required payments, the loan is returned to accrual status. Past due status of loans is determined based on contractual terms.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on three basic principles of accounting: (i) guidance for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable, (ii) guidance for Receivables, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the present value of future cash flows, value of collateral, or values that are observable in the market, and the loan balance, and (iii) guidance allowing a creditor to use existing methods for recognizing interest income on an impaired loan.

Allowance for Loan Losses, continued

 

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 management believes the loan balance is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired, for which an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value, or observable market price of the loan is lower than its carrying value. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. Historical losses are categorized into risk-similar loan pools and a loss ratio factor is applied to each group’s loan balances to determine the allocation. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s 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.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Further information regarding the Company’s policies and methodology used to estimate the allowance for loan losses is presented in Note 5.

Property and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Buildings and furniture and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed principally by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives or lease terms:

 

     Years  

Buildings and improvements

     7-40   

Furniture and equipment

     3-10   

Foreclosed Assets

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses during the holding period, gains and losses on sale, and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.

Employee Benefit Plans

A noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) was provided for all employees who met the eligibility requirements of 21 years of age and one year of service. The Plan’s benefits were frozen on November 30, 2011. No new participants were added to the plan after November 30, 2011. All benefit accruals under the Plan ceased as of midnight November 30, 2011. Thereafter, the accrued benefit of each participant is

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

 

Employee Benefit Plans, continued

 

determined based on years of benefit service, average compensation, excess compensation, and any other factor used to calculate the accrued benefit, each determined as of close of business November 30, 2011. Participants shall not continue to accrue years of benefits service beyond November 30, 2011 for any purpose under the Plan. To maintain the plan’s funding adequacy, the Company contributes an appropriate amount which is deductible for federal income tax purposes. Benefits under the plan are accrued by periodic charges to income as determined by the plan’s actuaries. To the extent accumulated plan assets, including current period cash contributions, are less than projected benefit obligations, the Company accrues such obligations through either a charge to income or other comprehensive income.

The Company also provides a qualified profit sharing/thrift plan. All full-time employees, age 18 and older, are eligible to participate and are automatically enrolled, unless they choose to opt-out of the plan, after completing their first six months of service. The Company expenses its matching portion to the employees’ contributions each payroll period.

The Company sponsors a post-retirement health care plan for certain retired employees. Expenses related to benefits under the plan are shared by the Company and the retirees monthly. The Company’s monthly portion is expensed to income. To the extent accumulated plan assets, including periodic cash contributions from the Company and the retirees, are less than the benefit obligations, the company accounts for such obligations through either a charge to income or other comprehensive income.

Advertising and Public Relations Expense

The Company expenses advertising and public relations costs as they are incurred.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes is based on amounts reported in the statements of operations (after exclusion of non-taxable income such as interest on state and municipal securities and loans) and consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes on temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

Deferred income tax liabilities relating to unrealized appreciation (or the deferred tax asset in the case of unrealized depreciation) on investment securities available for sale and the defined benefit plan and post-retirement benefits are recorded in other liabilities (assets). These items are recorded as an adjustment to equity in the financial statements and not included in income determination until realized. Accordingly, the resulting deferred income tax liabilities or assets are also recorded as an adjustment to equity.

Income Taxes, continued

 

A deferred tax valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Management evaluates the need for a deferred tax valuation allowance according to ASC 740 Income Taxes. All available evidence is considered when determining this estimate.

The Company defers loan fees and costs for financial statement purposes. Current tax regulations suggest that loan fees also be deferred using the effective yield method for income tax purposes. These regulations also suggest that the associated costs, which are primarily employee salaries, be currently deducted. Due to limitations in the Company’s accounting software, the Company has chosen to accelerate revenue recognition by including these loan fees in current year income for income tax purposes. As a result of the implementation of disclosure guidance regarding Income Taxes, the Company has not incurred a tax benefit because the payment of tax on these fees has been accelerated.

In the event that the Company has an unrecognized tax benefit in future accounting periods, the Company will recognize interest accrued related to the benefit in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. There were no interest or penalties related to an unrecognized tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the reversal of the above treatment by taxing authorities would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would defer the payment of cash to the taxing authority to later periods. The Company’s tax filings for years ended 2008 through 2010 are currently open to audit under statutes of limitations of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the Virginia Department of Taxation.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) reflects the change in the Company’s equity during the year arising from transactions and events other than investments by, and distributions to, stockholders. It consists of net income plus certain other changes in assets and liabilities that are reported as separate components of stockholders’ equity rather than as income or expense.

Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and commercial and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded. Related fees are recorded when they are incurred or received.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic provides guidance and requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet. 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 instruments.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to place them on a comparable basis with the current year. Net income (loss) and stockholders’ equity previously reported were not affected by these reclassifications.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in our financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following is a summary of recent authoritative announcements.

In July 2010, the Receivables topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) was amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-20 to require expanded disclosures related to a company’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. The amendments require the allowance disclosures to be provided on a disaggregated basis. The Company is required to include these disclosures in its interim and annual financial statements. See Note 4 and Note 5.

Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) required by ASU 2010-20 were deferred by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in ASU 2011-01 issued in January 2011. In April 2011 FASB issued ASU 2011-02 to assist creditors with their determination of when a restructuring is a TDR. The determination is based on whether the restructuring constitutes a concession and whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties as both events must be present. Disclosures related to TDRs under ASU 2010-20 have been presented in Note 5.

In April 2011, the criteria used to determine effective control of transferred assets in the Transfers and Servicing topic of the ASC was amended by ASU 2011-03. The requirement for the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms and the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion were removed from the assessment of effective control. The other criteria to assess effective control were not changed. The amendments are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012 but are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

ASU 2011-04 was issued in May 2011 to amend the Fair Value Measurement topic of the ASC by clarifying the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and by changing particular principles or requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012 but are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, continued

 

The Comprehensive Income topic of the ASC was amended in June 2011. The amendment eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income. The amendments will be applicable to the Company on January 1, 2012 and will be applied retrospectively. In December 2011, the topic was further amended to defer the effective date of presenting reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements. Companies should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect prior to the amendments while FASB redeliberates future requirements.

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.

Note 2. Restrictions on Cash

To comply with banking regulations, the Bank is required to maintain certain average cash reserve balances. The daily average cash reserve requirement was approximately $3,550,000 for the periods including December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Note 3. Investment Securities, continued

 

Management considers the nature of the investment, the underlying causes of the decline in market value, the severity 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 December 31, 2011, which is comprised of 9 investment securities, represent an other-than-temporary impairment. The gross unrealized losses reported relate to investment securities issued by Government-sponsored enterprises and various state and municipal securities. Total gross unrealized losses, which represent 0.10% of the amortized cost basis of the Company’s total investment securities, were attributable to 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 CBB Financial Corp., 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 CBB Financial Corp. and the FHLB are restricted in the fact that the stock may only be repurchased by the issuer. Management also considers these investments when testing for impairment. On a quarterly basis, management reviews both institutions’ capital adequacy to ensure they meet regulatory minimum requirements. Bank management does not believe any unrealized losses associated with investments in these institutions to be anything other than temporary.

Note 4. Loans Receivable

The Company segments its loan portfolio to capture the nature of credit risk inherent in its loans receivable. These segments allow management to monitor risk and performance. In reviewing risk, management has determined there to be several different risk categories within the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses consists of amounts applicable to: (i) the commercial loan portfolio; (ii) the commercial real estate loan portfolio; (iii) the consumer loan portfolio; (iv) the residential—prime loan portfolio; and (v) the agricultural and raw land portfolio. The Company does not have any disaggregated class subsets to these category segments.

The Commercial segment consists of loans made for the purpose of financing the activities of commercial customers. The Commercial Real Estate portfolio includes owner occupied, non-owner occupied, and multi-family dwellings. Construction lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term permanent financing. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, the Company may be compelled to advance additional funds to complete the construction with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project rather than the ability of a borrower or guarantor to repay the loan. If the Company is forced to foreclose on a project prior to completion, there is no assurance that it will be able to recover all of the unpaid portion of the loan. In addition, the Company may be required to fund additional amounts to complete a project and may have to hold the property for an indeterminate period of time. The Residential—prime loan segment consists of fixed rate and adjustable rate single-family amortizing term loans, which are primarily first liens and home equity loans which are generally second liens. The Agricultural and Raw Land category is for farm loans and for undeveloped land. Consumer loans consist of motor vehicle loans, savings account loans, personal lines of credit, overdraft loans, other types of secured consumer loans, and unsecured personal loans.

The Company had no subprime residential loans at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

Note 5. Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on three basic principles of accounting: (i) guidance for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable, (ii) guidance for Receivables, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the present value of future cash flows, value of collateral, or values that are observable in the market, and the loan balance, and (iii) guidance allowing a creditor to use existing methods for recognizing interest income on an impaired loan.

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loans identified as losses and deemed uncollectible by management are charged to the allowance. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions and environmental factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as additional information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired, for which an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value, or observable market price of the loan is lower than its carrying value. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. Historical losses are categorized into risk-similar loan pools and a loss ratio factor is applied to each group’s loan balances to determine the allocation. The loss ratio factor is based on average loss history for the current year and two prior years to ensure the most relevant data is being used in the model following the economic recession, anemic recovery, current economic conditions.

Note 5. Allowance for Loan Losses, continued

 

An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s 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. Qualitative environmental factors include external risk factors that management believes affect the overall lending environment of the Company. Environmental factors that management of the Company routinely analyze include levels and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans, levels and trends in charge-offs and recoveries, trends in volume and terms of loans, effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting practices, experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff, national and local economic trends and conditions such as unemployment rates, and housing statistics, banking industry conditions, local economic forecasts, and the effect of changes in credit concentrations.

The following table presents activity in the allowance for credit losses for the years-ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 on a portfolio segment basis. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

Note 5. Allowance for Loan Losses, continued

 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management assesses for possible loan impairment on a quarterly basis. Our impairment review includes examining factors such as the loan balance, payment status, recent payment history, principal curtailment on lines of credit, extensions granted, risk rating, maturity date advancement, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. A loan may be considered impaired by management, and still be expected to have full repayment of both principal and interest, but not according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines 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 in 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 homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for potential loss exposure. Accordingly, the Company does not generally separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

Cash payments received for individually evaluated impaired loans are recorded according to the accrual status of the loan. If the impaired loan is on nonaccrual status, payments are applied to the principal balance. Otherwise the payment is applied according to its contractual terms.

The recorded investment is defined as the original amount of the loan, net of any deferred costs and fees, less any principal reductions and direct charge-offs. Impaired loans with a balance at the end of the period are reflected in the recorded investment and unpaid principal balance columns. The average recorded investment represents the Company’s average investment in those same loans during the period. The following tables present impaired loans in the segmented portfolio categories as of December 31:

Note 5. Allowance for Loan Losses, continued

 

Loans are generally placed in nonaccrual status when, in management’s opinion, 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. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Payments on nonaccrual loans are applied to the principal balance. No interest income was recognized on impaired loans subsequent to the nonaccrual status designation. A loan is returned to accrual status when the borrower makes consistent payments accordingly to contractual terms and future payments are reasonably assured. The following is a schedule of loans receivable, by portfolio segment, on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2011.

The Company uses several metrics as credit quality indicators of current or potential risks in our loan portfolio. These indicators include, but are not limited to, credit bureau reports, loan-to-value ratios, internal risk ratings, current financial information, historical payment experience, economic conditions, and trends in net charge-offs and nonperforming loans. As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, every loan is assigned a risk rating grade at the time of loan origination. The risk ratings are formally reviewed for appropriateness over the life of the loan on an annual basis. The formal review occurs during the fourth quarter to correspond to the Company’s fiscal year-end. In addition, quarterly reviews occur for specific loans identified by loan administration to ensure loans with potential material impact are captured on an interim basis. These processes historically provide a predictive element to assist management in our efforts to quantify losses. The quarterly review is an important process to accurately identify impaired loans, a critical component in the allowance for loan losses calculation. The credit quality indicators are periodically reviewed and updated on a case-by-case basis.

Management uses an eight point internal risk rating system, listed from the least risk to the highest risk, to monitor the credit quality of the non-consumer segments of the loan portfolio.

Excellent: The borrower is typically a long established, well seasoned company with a significant market position. It possesses unquestioned asset quality, liquidity, and excellent sales and earnings trends. Leverage, if present, is well below industry norms. Borrower appears to have capacity to meet all of its obligations under almost any circumstances. If a business, the borrowing entity’s management has extensive experience and depth.

Good: The borrower demonstrates a strong and liquid financial condition based upon current financial information and qualifies to borrow on an unsecured basis under most circumstances. If borrowing is secured, collateral is readily marketable and amply margined. Repayment sources are well defined and more than adequate. Credit checks and prior lending experiences with the company, if any, are fully satisfactory. The borrower’s cash flow comfortably exceeds total current obligations.

Satisfactory: The borrower provides current financial information reflecting a satisfactory financial condition and reasonable debt service capacity. If borrowing is secured, collateral is marketable, adequately margined at the present time, and expected to afford coverage to maturity. Repayment understandings are documented, sources are considered adequate, and repayment terms are appropriate. Credit checks and prior

experience, if any, are satisfactory. The borrower is usually established and is attractive to other financial institutions. If a business, the borrower’s balance sheet is stable and sales and earnings are steady and predictable.

Acceptable: While an acceptable credit risk to the Company, the borrower will generally demonstrate a higher leveraged, less liquid balance sheet and capacity to service debt, while steady, may be less well-defined. Repayment terms may not be appropriate for individual transactions. Borrower is generally acceptable to other financial institutions; however, secured borrowing is the norm. Collateral marketability and margin are acceptable at the present time but may not continue to be so. Credit checks or prior experience, if any, reveals some, but not serious, slowness in paying. If a business, its management experience may be limited or have less depth than a Satisfactory borrower. Sensitivity to economic or credit cycles exists, and staying power could be a problem.

Special Mention: While loans to a borrower in this rating category are currently protected (no loss of principal or interest envisioned), they may pose undue or unwarranted credit risks if weaknesses are not checked or corrected. Weaknesses may be limited to one or several trends or developments. Weaknesses may include one or more of the following: a potentially over-extended financial condition, a questionable repayment program, an uncertain level of continuing employment or income, inadequate or deteriorating collateral, inadequate or untimely financial information, management competence or succession issues, a high degree of vulnerability to outside forces.

Substandard: Assets in this category are inadequately protected by the current creditworthiness and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified have a well-defined weakness or weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Nonaccrual loans, reduced-earnings loans, and loans to borrowers engaged in bankruptcy proceedings are automatically rated Substandard or lower.

Doubtful: A loan rated Doubtful has all of the weaknesses inherent in one rated Substandard with the added characteristic that the weakness may make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly improbable. A Doubtful rating generally is used when the amount of loss can be projected and that projection exceeds one-third of the balance of outstanding debt but does not exceed two-thirds of that balance. A Doubtful rating is generally applied when the likelihood of significant loss is high.

Loss: A Loss rating should be applied when the borrower’s outstanding debt is considered uncollectible or of such little value that its continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This rating does not suggest that there is absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the debt even though a partial recovery may be affected in the future.

For the consumer segment of the loan portfolio, the Company uses the following definitions:

Nonperforming: Loans on nonaccrual status plus loans greater than ninety days past due and still accruing interest.

Performing: All current loans plus loans less than ninety days past due.

The Bank evaluated all loan restructurings that occurred during 2011 to determine whether they are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) under the amended guidance of ASU 2011-02. The Bank identified as TDRs certain loans for which the allowance for loan losses had previously been measured under a general allowance methodology. Upon identifying these loans as TDRs, the Bank identified and prospectively measured them as impaired under the guidance in ASC 310-10-35. In certain cases, existing impaired loans were restructured and continued to be measured as intended by the guidance. At December 31, 2011, the recorded investment in loans for which the allowance was previously measured under a general allowance methodology and are now impaired under ASC 310-10-35 was $4.8 million, and the allowance for loan losses associated with these loans, on the basis of a current evaluation of loss exposure was approximately $259,000.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, four loans that had previously been restructured, were in default, one of which went into default in the quarter. The Bank considers a loan in default when it is 90 days or more past due or on nonaccrual status.

In the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management considers troubled debt restructurings and subsequent defaults in these restructurings. All troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired loans. Loss exposure related to these loans are determined by management on a quarterly basis.

Lessee Activities

In 2011 and 2010, the Bank leased out a portion of its loan administration facility to a third party. The annually renewable lease calls for monthly lease payments of $750. Rental income received related to this lease was $9,000 in both 2011 and 2010.

The Bank leased out a portion of a branch facility to a third party. The five year lease, which commenced in November 2010, calls for monthly lease payments of $2,000 plus cleaning services for the first two years of the lease. The lease payments incrementally increase in years three through five. Rental income received related to this facility in 2011 and 2010 was $24,000 and $4,000, respectively.

The Bank leases office space to Mountain Valley Title Insurance Agency, LLC in the amount of $6,000 annually and paid quarterly and to Rockbridge Title Services, LLC in the amount of $6,000 annually and paid quarterly. Both of these companies are related party interests as subsidiaries of the Bank.

The Bank recognized rental income from leasing various other real estate owned properties to tenants. In general, the lease contracts are short-term in the event the property sells and call for monthly payments. Rental income received related to this activity in 2011 was $36,294 and $19,628 in 2010 and is shown net of foreclosed asset expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

Aggregate rental income for 2011 and 2010 was $81,294 and $44,628, respectively.

Note 8. Short-Term Debt

The Company has established various credit facilities to provide additional liquidity if and as needed. At December 31, 2011, these facilities from correspondent banks included unsecured lines of credit and repurchase agreement lines of credit totaling $18,000,000. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no outstanding balance against these lines.

In addition, the Company has a secured line of credit of approximately $14,700,000 with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. 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 December 31, 2011, a $6,000,000 letter of credit in favor of the Commonwealth of Virginia-Treasury Board, to secure public deposits, was utilized from this line of credit, reducing the available credit for secondary liquidity needs to $8,700,000. With a 110% collateral pledging requirement, this would leave the Company approximately $7,900,000 for secondary liquidity needs. No balance was outstanding on this line at December 31, 2011 or 2010. Advancing the maximum available credit could require the pledging of additional collateral.

The Company has an established $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 December 31, 2011 or 2010.

Note 9. Subordinated Debt

In 2011, the Bank began issuing Subordinated Debt. Interest rates are fixed on the debt for the full term but vary by maturity and range from 6.75% on the debt with a 7 year maturity to 7.75% on the debt with a 10 year maturity. As the terms are greater than five years and the debt is subordinate to deposits and other borrowings, this debt is included in capital for purposes of calculating total risk based capital.

The maturities of the subordinated debt, as of December 31, 2011, are as follows:

 

2018

     210,000   

2021

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, federal funds sold, and time deposits with banks: The carrying amounts of interest–bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, and time deposits with banks 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.

Note 10. Fair Values of Financial Instruments, continued

 

Subordinated debt: The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt were calculated using a discounted cash flow approach and applying discount rates currently offered for new notes with similar remaining maturities and considering the Company’s non-performance risk.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is defined 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. The guidance 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 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 real estate acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure and impaired loans.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active or over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis, however, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan are considered impaired.

Note 10. Fair Values of Financial Instruments, continued

 

Loans, continued

 

Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with the guidance on Receivables. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represent loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, substantially all impaired loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Foreclosed Assets

Foreclosed assets are recorded at the lower of investment in the loan or fair value at acquisition. During the holding phase, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of the carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based on independent observable market prices or appraised values of the collateral, which the Company considers to be level 2 inputs. When the appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

Transfers into Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 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. During 2011 and 2010, loans transferred out of Level 3 occurred when impairment status was eliminated. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 , the changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

Note 12. Benefit Plans

Stock Based Compensation

The Company maintains 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. The maximum number of shares with respect to which awards may be granted in any calendar year is 15,000 shares. The plan expires May 13, 2019 unless all shares are granted prior to the expiration date. No restricted stock grants or options have been granted or are outstanding under the 2009 Incentive Plan.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The Bank has a qualified, noncontributory, Defined Benefit Pension Plan, sponsored by the Virginia Bankers Association, covering all eligible employees with one year of service who have attained the age of twenty-one. Effective November 30, 2011, the Defined Benefit Plan was frozen, with no future benefit accruals. Contributions to the plan are based on computations by independent actuarial consultants. The plan’s assets include common stock, fixed income securities, short-term investments and cash. The benefits to the participants are primarily based on years of service and earnings.

Long-term rate of return

The plan sponsor selects the expected long-term rate-of-return-on-assets assumption in consultation with their investment advisors and actuary, and with the concurrence from their auditors. This rate is intended to reflect the average rate of earnings expected to be earned on the funds invested or to be invested to provide plan benefits. Historical performance is reviewed—especially with respect to real rates of return (net of inflation)— for the major asset classes held or anticipated to be held by the trust, and for the trust itself. Undue weight is not given to recent experience—that may not continue over the measurement period—with higher significance placed on current forecasts of future long-term economic conditions.

Because assets are held in a qualified trust, anticipated returns are not reduced for taxes. Further—solely for this purpose—the plan is assumed to continue in force and not terminate during the period during which assets are invested. However, consideration is given to the potential impact of current and future investment policy, cash flow into and out of the trust, and expenses (both investment and non-investment) typically paid from plan assets (to the extent such expenses are not explicitly estimated within periodic cost).

The plan’s annualized performance, compared to the benchmark, is presented as follows:

 

     1-Year     3-Year     5-Year     10-Year  

Plan return

     (1.82 )%      14.03     1.17     5.59

Benchmark

     2.65     13.17     2.08     4.58

Discount Rate

The process used to select the discount rate assumption takes into account the benefit cash flow and the segmented yields on high quality corporate bonds that would be available to provide for the payment of the benefit cash flow. A single effective discount rate, rounded to the nearest 0.25%, is then established that produces an equivalent discounted present value.

Asset allocation and investment strategies

The pension plan’s weighted-average asset allocations, by asset category, are as follows for the year-ended December 31:

Note 12. Benefit Plans, continued

 

Defined Benefit Pension Plan, continued

 

Bank management elects an asset allocation for the plan annually. The election is based on management’s assessment of the fixed income and equities markets and the economic outlook when matching potential risk and return for employee participants. The trust fund is diversified to maintain a reasonable level of risk without imprudently sacrificing return, with a targeted asset allocation of 25% fixed income and 75% equities. The Investment Manager selects fund managers with demonstrated experience and expertise and funds with demonstrated historical performance for the implementation of the Plan’s investment strategy. The Investment Manager considers both actively and passively managed investment strategies and allocates funds across the asset classes to develop an efficient investment structure.

It is the responsibility of the Trustee to administer the investments of the Trust within reasonable costs, being careful to avoid sacrificing quality. These costs include, but are not limited to, management and custodial fees, consulting fees, transaction costs and other administration costs chargeable to the Trust.

Concentration of risk

No concentration of risk was identified in the plan.

Post Retirement Health Insurance

The Company sponsors a post retirement health care plan for certain retired employees. The health plan has an annual limitation (a “cap”) on the dollar amount of the employer’s share of the cost of covered benefits incurred by a plan participant. The retiree is responsible, therefore, for the amount by which the cost of the benefit coverage under the plan incurred during a year exceeds that cap. No health care cost increases have been factored into the health plan’s actuarial calculations due to this cap. The plan remains frozen with coverage continuing for seven existing retiree participants. The following tables summarize the Bank’s post retirement plan obligations, assets, funded status, and the assumptions and components of net periodic benefit costs using a measurement date of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

The discount rate assumption in determining the benefit relating to the untrended post retirement health care plan at December 31, 2011, was 4.0%. Since the post retirement health insurance benefit plan is untrended, increases and decreases in health care cost trend rates, expected rate of return on plan assets, and the rate of compensation increase is not applicable.

Deferred Compensation Plan

Funded deferred compensation plans have been adopted for certain members of the Board of Directors and executive employees. The corresponding assets and liabilities of the plans are held by a third party through the Virginia Bankers Association and totaled $238,907 for the Director Plan and $288,701 for the Executive Plan at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2010, the Director Plan totaled $231,264 and the Executive Plan totaled $296,378.

Profit Sharing/Thrift Plan

The Company provides a profit sharing/thrift plan for its employees to which contributions are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. All full-time employees, age 18 and older, are eligible to participate and are automatically enrolled, unless they choose to opt-out of the plan, after completing their first six months of service. The plan allows for pretax employee contributions of up to the maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. In 2011 and 2010, the first 1% of employee contributions was matched 100% by the Company. The next 5% of employee contributions was matched 50% by the Company. Employer contributions to the plan amounted to $88,657 and $94,614 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company has analyzed the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns and concluded it has no liability related to uncertain tax positions in accordance with accounting guidance on Income Taxes.

The Company has evaluated the need for a deferred tax valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2011 in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Based on a three year taxable income projection and tax strategies which would result in potential securities gains and the effects of off-setting deferred tax liabilities, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable. Therefore, no allowance is required. As of December 31, 2011 the Company had $828,786 of net operating losses which expire in 2031.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In the normal course of business the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. After consultation with legal counsel, management believes that any liability resulting from such proceedings will not be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

The Company 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 amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of commitments at December 31 is as follows:

 

     2011      2010  

Commitments to extend credit

   $ 33,187,000       $ 33,502,000   

Standby letters of credit

     1,610,000         2,689,000   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
   $ 34,797,000       $ 36,191,000   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

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. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the party. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies as specified above and is required in instances which the Company deems necessary.

In the normal course of business, the Company extends commitment letters to fund loans at a future date. The Company had issued approximately $1,500,000 in such commitments at December 31, 2011. However, there is no assurance that the loans will be originated and funded due to uncertainty of customer acceptance of the terms and conditions of the agreement.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Substantially all of the Company’s loans, commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Company’s market area and such customers are generally depositors of the Bank. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 4. The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Standby letters of credit are granted primarily to commercial borrowers. Although the Company has a reasonably diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion

of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon economic conditions in and around Botetourt, Roanoke, Rockbridge and Franklin counties, Virginia. At December 31, 2011 the Company had an approximate $32,000,000 in secured loan concentration balances in 1-4 family residential construction, other construction, land and development, and lots. This amount represents 124.09% of total risk based capital, above the FDIC’s suggested guideline of less than 100%.

The Bank also monitors loan concentrations for non-owner occupied commercial real estate, construction, and lot loans. Combined with the categories above, the Bank had approximately $69,000,000 in concentration balances or 269.31% of total risk based capital, below the FDIC’s suggested guideline of less than 300%. Large individual credit relationships are also monitored to mitigate risk and ensure compliance with applicable laws.

Note 15. Regulatory Restrictions

Investments in state and municipal securities involve governmental entities within and outside the Company’s market area.

The Company from time to time has cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions which exceed federally-insured limits.

Dividends

The Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank to the Company will depend on the Bank’s earnings and capital position and is limited by state law, regulations and policies. The Company’s dividend payments are made from dividends received from the Bank. The Bank, as a Virginia banking corporation, may pay dividends only out of its retained earnings. However, regulatory authorities may limit or prevent payment of dividends by any bank when it is determined that such a limitation is in the public interest and is necessary to ensure financial soundness of the bank.

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 (set forth in the table below) 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. Management believes, as of December 31, 2011, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject, as defined by the regulatory framework, although our regulators have encouraged higher levels given the risk profile of our nonperforming assets. As a result, management is developing and implementing strategies, such as the Common Stock Rights Offering in Note 19, to strengthen the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company and the Bank were categorized as “well capitalized” as defined by applicable regulations. To be categorized as “well capitalized”, the Company and Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that date that management believes have changed the Company’s or the Bank’s category. The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table below (in thousands except for percentages).

Intercompany Transactions

The Bank’s legal lending limit on loans to the Company are governed by Federal Reserve Act 23A, and differ from legal lending limits on loans to external customers. Generally, a bank may lend up to 10% of its capital and surplus to its Parent, if the loan is secured. If collateral is in the form of stocks, bonds, debentures or similar obligations, it must have a market value when the loan is made of at least 20% more than the amount of the loan, and if obligations of a state or political subdivision or agency thereof, it must have a market value of at

least 10% more than the amount of the loan. If such loans are secured by obligations of the United States or agencies thereof, or by notes, drafts, bills of exchange or bankers’ acceptances eligible for rediscount or purchase by a Federal Reserve Bank, requirements for collateral in excess of the loan amount do not apply. Under this definition, the legal lending limit for the Bank on loans to the Company was approximately $2.4 million at December 31, 2011. No 23A transactions existed between the Company and the Bank at December 31, 2011.

Note 16. Transactions with Related Parties

The Company has entered into transactions with its directors, significant shareholders and their affiliates (related parties). Such transactions were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other customers, and did not, in the opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features.

Aggregate loan transactions with related parties were as follows:

 

     2011     2010  

Balance, beginning

   $ 2,009,134      $ 1,124,484   

New loans or credit line advances

Balance, ending

   $ 1,987,517      $ 2,009,134   
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

Deposit transactions with related parties at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were insignificant.

As discussed in Note 6 Property & Equipment and Foreclosed Assets, the Bank had lessee activities with companies of related party interests in both 2011 and 2010.

Note 17. Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan

The Company maintains a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (“DRIP”) which provides for the issuance of up to 200,000 shares of common stock. The purchase price of shares acquired through the DRIP is recommended by the Dividend Reinvestment Plan Committee (“Committee”) of the Company and approved by the Board of Directors. In determining the purchase price per share, the Committee considers book value of the common stock of the Company, relationship between traded price and book value, known recent trades, and any additional information the Committee deems appropriate.

The following is a summary of the shares of common stock issued from dividends reinvested and optional cash purchases in 2011 and 2010.

Item 9A. 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 Disclosure Committee, 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 Disclosure Committee ensures that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Internal audits conducted by the Company’s internal audit department are reviewed by certifying officers to assist in assessing the adequacy of the Company internal controls. Based on these evaluations, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were 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.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). A system of internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, the Company’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 based on the criteria established in a report entitled “Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission” and the interpretive guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Release No. 34-55929. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management has evaluated and concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.

There has been no change in its internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The Dodd-Frank Act exempted the Company from complying with Section 404(b) and our registered public accounting firm was not required to issue an attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
