Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The consideration for the acquisitions of shares was paid from the personal funds of the individual reporting owners and from the working capital of entities.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

All of the shares of common stock reported herein as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired for investment purposes.  The Reporting Persons own less than 5% of the Issuer’s outstanding common stock as of the date hereof.

 

The Reporting Persons all reserve the right to acquire, or cause to be acquired, additional securities of the Issuer, or to dispose of, or cause to be disposed, such securities at any time, or to formulate purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer, any of its securities, or its management or Board of Directors, to the extent deemed advisable in light of general investment and trading strategies of the Reporting Person, market conditions or other factors.

 

In their original report filed in March 2008, the Reporting Persons noted that they may in the future meet with and/or send correspondence to the Issuer’s management and/or Board of Directors and/or other holders of the Issuer’s securities to discuss Company purposes, plans or proposals.  Since then, Mr. Williams has met with certain executives and directors of the Company hoping to elicit a plan or proposal to revive its franchise value, mitigate the below average returns on equity and slow the decrease in tangible book value.  Based upon Mr. William’s business acumen and understanding of the Company’s market area, it is the Reporting Persons opinion that if the Company is to remain independent, it must replace certain members of senior management with seasoned bank executives and astute local businessmen who have the experience, investor contacts and customer network necessary to resolve the current lending and balance sheet problems.  Therefore, the Reporting Persons believe that the best way to benefit all shareholders is for the Board of Directors to (i) aggressively reduce operating expenses through a reduction of infrastructure and personnel costs and (ii) replace certain executive officers and members of the Board of Directors.  The Reporting Persons believe that the election or appointment of shareholder nominees to the Board of Directors is probably the only sure way to influence the existing directors and to protect the remaining value in the Company for all shareholders.

 

The Reporting Persons will demand a shareholder list in order to contact other shareholders of the Company to discuss their concerns and views, and may, among other things: (i) form a committee of interested shareholders to identify and interview possible candidates for nominees to the Board of Directors, and (ii) seek election or appointment of the maximum permitted number of shareholder nominees to the Board of Directors at the 2009 Annual Meeting or otherwise.

 

On February 9, 2009, Mr. Williams delivered a letter to the Company, a copy of which is attached at Exhibit A hereto.

 

Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have no purposes, plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5.

RE:  Alliance Bankshares Corporation

 

Dear Tom:

 

Since the date of our last 13D filing, I have made further analysis and conducted various inquiries into the corporate governance history of the company and have concluded that we intend to seek the election of shareholder nominees for the maximum number of board seats (at least 2 Class A seats will be up for election, to my knowledge) at the next occurring annual meeting of Alliance Bankshares Corporation.

 

I will be contacting other shareholders, and perhaps form a shareholders’ committee, with a goal to identifying and interviewing possible candidates for election to the Board of Directors. I will need a copy of the current shareholders list, or “record of shareholders” as it is called under section 13.1-771 of the Virginia Code, in order to contact other shareholders to see if they want to participate. I have a representative available to come to your office to copy the list the week of February 16, 2009 at any time that is convenient for your schedule.  You may call me at any time at 703 641 4612.

 

 

Very truly yours,

 

 

 

 

 

/s/ Frank E. Williams, Jr.
