(WFBI), Bankshares and the Bank entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (Merger Agreement), pursuant to which Bankshares will merge with and into WFBI, with WFBI being the surviving corporation (Merger). Each share of Bankshares’ outstanding common stock will be converted into and become the right to receive, subject to proration in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and at the election of each shareholder of Bankshares, either 0.4435 shares of common stock of WFBI or cash in the amount of $5.30, subject in either case to adjustment in the event that Bankshares’ shareholders’ equity (as defined in the Agreement), at the month-end prior to completion of the Merger has declined by more than 10% from the amount of Bankshares’ shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2011, and provided that no more than 20% of the common shares of Bankshares may elect to receive cash. Completion of the Merger is subject to (i) approval of the Merger by the shareholders of each of Bankshares and WFBI, (ii) applicable regulatory approvals, including those of the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Virginia State Corporation Commission, and (iii) other customary closing conditions.

Under the Merger Agreement, Bankshares agreed to conduct its business in the ordinary course while the Merger is pending, and, except as permitted under the Merger Agreement, to generally refrain from, among other things, redeeming, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any shares of its capital stock, amending its articles of incorporation or bylaws, soliciting any third party acquisition proposals and entering into any new line of business, without the consent of WFBI.

Additionally, Bankshares and the Bank are parties to a Memorandum of Understanding (the MOU) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions, which is a regulatory means of seeking correction through informal administrative action from institutions considered to be of supervisory concern, but which have not deteriorated to the point where they warrant formal administrative action. Among the specific concerns cited in the MOU were asset quality, earnings, liquidity, and capital. The MOU imposes restrictions and/or requirements on Bankshares and the Bank, including (i) the requirement to be examined twice yearly by its regulators, (ii) the requirement to provide regular quarterly progress reports to the relevant regulators and (iii) the requirement that Bankshares and the Bank receive regulatory approval to pay dividends, repurchase common stock, and make interest or principal payments on subordinated debt and trust preferred securities. Bankshares has implemented significant improvements in credit policies, loan administration, and liquidity management in its efforts to comply with the terms of the MOU. The MOU also requires Bankshares to maintain a written plan for compliance with the capital adequacy rules applicable to all state member banks under Federal Reserve Board Regulation H (12 CFR Part 208). These rules require all state member banks, including the Bank, to maintain adequate capital consistent with their risk profiles, which takes into account the volume of adversely classified loans, the adequacy of the loan loss reserve, any planned asset growth and the nature and level of asset concentrations, among other things. Given this, it is the policy of federal banking regulators not to specify or confirm that a given capital level will be “adequate” at a future point in time. As a result, federal banking regulators have not, and Bankshares cannot, identify a specific dollar amount of capital required under the MOU. However, Bankshares estimates that it would need $7.5 million to $10 million in new capital to be compliant with applicable capital adequacy rules.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect the financial condition and results of operations of Bankshares on a consolidated basis and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial reporting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary to present fairly Bankshares’ financial position as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, consolidated statements of

2. Stock Option Plan

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718-10, “Stock Compensation”, requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and nonvested shares, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant. Compensation cost has been measured using the fair value of an award on the grant date and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.

As of September 30, 2012, there was $55 thousand of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period which is estimated to be three years or less.

Stock option compensation expense is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. The fair value of each grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no grants of stock options for the first nine months of 2012.

Intrinsic value is the difference between the underlying stock’s price and the strike price. If the difference is negative, the intrinsic value is given as zero.

 

3. Fair Value Measurements

Bankshares uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), ASC 820-10, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for Bankshares’ various financial instruments. 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. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

Table of Contents

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with this guidance, Bankshares groups its financial assets and liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

 

   

Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

   

Level 2 — Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.

 

   

Level 3 — Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect Bankshares’ own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by Bankshares to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:

Trading and Available-for-Sale Securities — Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2). Financial assets and liabilities that are traded infrequently have values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own view about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (Level 3).

FHLB Advances — Under the fair value accounting standards, certain liabilities can be carried at fair value. The designated instruments are recorded on a fair value basis at the time of issuance. As of September 30, 2012, Bankshares had one wholesale liability as a fair value instrument: a long-term Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advance.

Wholesale instruments are designated as either Level 2 or Level 3 under the ASC 820-10 fair value hierarchy. Level 2 liabilities are based on quoted market prices using independent valuation techniques for similar instruments with like characteristics. This

information is deemed to be observable market data. Level 3 liabilities are financial instruments that are difficult to value due to dysfunctional, distressed markets or lack of actual trading volume. Management gathers certain data to value the instrument including swap curves, conversion swaptions and discounted cash flows. These data points are modeled to reflect the estimate of the fair value of the liability.

The following tables present the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

For the assets and liabilities selected for fair value accounting where available, management obtained pricing on each instrument from independent third parties who relied upon pricing models using widely available and industry standard yield curves. At December 31, 2011, the securities previously carried at level three were moved to level two due to the fact that the pricing was identical to the normal market price. Management will continue to monitor these instruments. Changes in fair values associated with fluctuations in market values reported above are reported as fair value adjustments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Certain financial and nonfinancial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by Bankshares to measure certain financial and nonfinancial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:

Impaired Loans. Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the underlying collateral, if any. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered to be Level 3. Impaired loans allocated to the allowance for loan losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). OREO is measured at fair value using an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data (Level 2). However, if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered to be Level 3. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period recognized as OREO expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by Bankshares to measure certain financial assets and liabilities not previously described in this note that are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:

Cash, Due from Banks, and Federal Funds Sold

For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans Receivable

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential), credit card loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. Fair values for other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

 

17


Table of Contents

Restricted Stock

Restricted investments in correspondent banks are carried at cost based on the underlying redemption provisions of the instruments and therefore are not included in the fair value disclosures.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (i.e., interest and noninterest checking, statement savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short-Term Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values. Fair values of other short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on Bankshares’ current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Trust Preferred Capital Notes

The fair value of Bankshares’ Trust Preferred Capital Notes, which is discussed in Note 10, is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on Bankshares’ current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of standby letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

Table of Contents

The following tables present the aggregate amount of unrealized loss in investment securities as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The aggregate amount is determined by summation of all the related securities that have a continuous loss at period end, and the length of time that the loss has been unrealized is shown by terms of “less than 12 months” and “12 months or more.” The fair value is the approximate market value as of the period end.

Bankshares’ investment security portfolio is primarily comprised of U.S. government and fixed rate bonds, whose prices move inversely with interest rates. At the end of any accounting period, the portfolio may have both unrealized gains and losses. Unrealized losses within Bankshares’ portfolio typically occur as market interest rates rise. Such unrealized losses are considered temporary in nature. Under ASC 320-10-35, Debt and Equity Securities Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, an impairment is considered “other than temporary” if any of the following conditions are met: Bankshares intends to sell the security, it is more likely than not that Bankshares will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or Bankshares does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if Bankshares does not intend to sell). In the event that a security would suffer impairment for a reason that was “other than temporary,” Bankshares would be expected to write down the security’s value to its new fair value, and the amount of the write-down would be included in earnings as a realized loss. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, management does not consider any of the unrealized losses to be other-than-temporarily impaired and no impairment charges have been recorded.

There are a total of 15 investment securities with a total fair value of $24.5 million that have an aggregate unrealized loss of $280 thousand and are considered temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2012. Management believes the unrealized losses noted in the table above are a result of current market conditions and interest rates, and do not reflect on the ability of the issuers to repay the obligations. Approximately $23.8 million or 97.1% of the investment securities with an unrealized loss are backed by U.S. government agencies and other forms of underlying collateral.

Bankshares’ investment in FHLB stock totaled $2.6 million at September 30, 2012. FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long term investment and as a restricted investment security which is carried at cost, because there is no market for the stock other than the FHLBs or member institutions. Therefore, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Bankshares does not consider this investment to be other than temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2012 and no impairment has been recognized. FHLB stock is included in restricted stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

10. Trust Preferred Capital Notes of Subsidiary Trust

On June 30, 2003, Bankshares’ wholly-owned Delaware statutory business trust privately issued $10.0 million face amount of the Trust’s floating rate trust preferred capital securities (Trust Preferred Capital Notes) in a pooled trust preferred capital securities offering. The trust issued $310 thousand in common equity to Bankshares. Simultaneously, the trust used the proceeds of the sale to purchase $10.3 million principal amount of Bankshares’ floating rate junior subordinated debentures due 2033 (Subordinated Debentures). Both the Trust Preferred Capital Notes and the Subordinated Debentures are callable at any time. The Subordinated Debentures are an unsecured obligation of Bankshares and are junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness of Bankshares. The Trust Preferred Capital Notes are guaranteed by Bankshares on a subordinated basis. The Trust Preferred Capital Notes are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of Bankshares under the caption “Trust Preferred Capital Notes.” Bankshares records distributions payable on the Trust Preferred Capital Notes as an interest expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The interest rate associated with the Trust Preferred Capital Notes is three month LIBOR plus 3.15% subject to quarterly interest rate adjustments. Under the indenture governing the Trust Preferred Capital Notes, Bankshares has the right to defer payments of interest for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods. Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and through September 30, 2012, Bankshares elected to defer the interest payments as permitted under the indenture. The interest deferred under the indenture compounds quarterly at the interest rate then in effect. As of September 30, 2012, the total amount of deferred and compounded interest owed under the indenture is $1.3 million. The base interest rate as of September 30, 2012 was 3.54% and as of December 31, 2011 was 3.70%. All or a portion of the Trust Preferred Capital Notes may be included in the regulatory computation of capital adequacy as Tier 1 capital. Under the current guidelines, Tier 1 capital may include up to 25% of shareholders’ equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the form of Trust Preferred Capital Notes. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $8.9 million and $9.4 million were considered Tier 1 capital.

Deferred Taxes. In accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes (formerly SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes), deferred tax assets are to be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The future realization of the tax benefit generated by net operating losses depends upon the existence of sufficient taxable income within the applicable carryback and carry forward periods. Bankshares periodically assesses the need to establish, increase, or decrease a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

Bankshares performed an analysis to determine if a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was necessary. Bankshares’ analyzed and reviewed various forms of positive and negative evidence in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary and if so to what degree a valuation allowance is warranted. The three year cumulative loss position of Bankshares is considered negative evidence when determining if a valuation allowance is necessary. Bankshares considered positive evidence such as previous earnings patterns, multiyear business projections and the potential realization of net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards within the prescribed time periods. In addition, Bankshares considered tax planning strategies that would impact the timing and extent of taxable income. Based on the analysis and the guidance in the relevant accounting literature, it is not considered more likely than not that Bankshares will be able to realize all its deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance of $5.3 million related to the deferred tax assets was recorded at December 31, 2011. The valuation allowance at September 30, 2012 related to the deferred tax assets was $5.5 million.

Bankshares evaluated the DTA related to the fair value adjustment of an FHLB advance separately from other DTAs. As the future taxable income implicit in the recovery of the book basis of the fair value adjustment offsets any potential future deductions underlying the DTA, Bankshares determined that no valuation allowance was necessary for this DTA. Bankshares has the ability and intent to retain the FHLB advance until such time as it recovers in value, which could be maturity.

14. Mergers and Acquisitions

On May 3, 2012, WFBI, Bankshares and the Bank entered into the Merger Agreement with respect to the Merger and a related bank merger agreement by and between the Bank and WashingtonFirst Bank (WF Bank), WFBI’s wholly owned subsidiary bank (Bank Merger). The consummation of the Merger and the Bank Merger are conditioned upon, among other things, approvals of applicable regulatory agencies and the shareholders of each of Bankshares and WFBI.

The consideration to be received by the shareholders of Bankshares in the Merger is a combination of stock and cash. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Bankshares’ outstanding common stock will be converted into and become the right to receive, subject to proration in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and at the election of each shareholder of Bankshares, either 0.4435 shares of common stock of WFBI or cash in the amount of $5.30, subject in either case to adjustment in the event that Bankshares’ shareholders’ equity (as defined in the Agreement), at the month-end prior to completion of the Merger has declined by more than 10% from amount of Bankshares’ shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2011, and provided that no more than 20% of the common shares of Bankshares may elect to receive cash.

 

37


Table of Contents

The Merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2012, pending approval of the shareholders of each of Bankshares and WFBI and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, as well as other customary conditions as described in the Current Report on Form 8-K previously filed on May 8, 2012.

 

15. Subsequent Events

Bankshares evaluated subsequent events that occurred after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued. There are two types of subsequent events: (1) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) nonrecognized, or those that provided evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date. As of the report date there were no subsequent events that would cause adjustments to or disclosures in the financial statements.

In addition, Bankshares’ business and financial performance could be impacted as the financial industry restructures in the current environment, both by changes in the creditworthiness and performance of Bankshares’ counterparties and by changes in the regulatory and competitive landscape. Additionally, other risks that could cause actual results to differ from predicted results are set forth in Item 1A of Bankshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Because of these and other uncertainties, Bankshares’ actual results and performance may be materially different from results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, Bankshares’ past results of operations are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Bankshares cautions you that the above list of important factors is not exclusive. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report, and Bankshares may not undertake steps to update these forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of any circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

Critical Accounting Policies

Bankshares’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The financial information contained within Bankshares’ statements is, to a significant extent, based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. Bankshares uses historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in its loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that Bankshares uses in estimating risk. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of Bankshares’ transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact its financial statements could change.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in Bankshares’ loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (1) ASC 450-10-05, Contingencies which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable, and (2) ASC 310-10-35, Receivables which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. The allowance for loan losses has two basic components: the general allowance and the specific allowance.

The general allowance is developed following the accounting principles contained in ASC 450-10-05, Contingencies and represents the largest component of the total allowance. It is determined by aggregating unclassified loans and unimpaired loans by loan type based on common purpose, collateral, repayment source or other credit characteristics and then applying factors which in the judgment of management represent the expected losses inherent in the portfolio. In determining these factors, Bankshares considers the following: (1) delinquencies and overall risk ratings, (2) loss history, (3) trends in volume and terms of loans, (4) effects of changes in lending policy, (5) the experience and depth of the borrowers’ management, (6)

 

41


Table of Contents

national and local economic trends, (7) concentrations of credit by individual credit size and by class of loans, (8) quality of loan review system and (9) the effect of external factors (e.g., competition and regulatory requirements).

ASC 310-10-35, Receivables is the basis upon which Bankshares determines specific reserves on individual loans which comprise the specific allowance. Specific loans to be evaluated for impairment are identified based on the borrower’s loan size and the loan’s risk rating, collateral position and payment history. If it is determined that it is likely that the Bank will not receive full payment in a timely manner, the loan is determined to be impaired. Each such identified loan is then evaluated to determine the amount of reserve that is appropriate based on ASC 310-10-35. This standard also requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of expected future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.

Share-Based Compensation. ASC 718-10, Stock Compensation, requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and nonvested shares, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant. Compensation cost has been measured using the Black-Scholes model to estimate fair value of an award on the grant date and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.

Deferred Tax Asset. Bankshares routinely evaluates the likelihood of the recognition of deferred tax assets. The analysis is used to determine if a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is necessary. Bankshares reviews and analyzes various forms of positive and negative evidence in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary and if so to what degree a valuation allowance is warranted.

At December 31, 2011, Bankshares performed an analysis to determine if a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was necessary. Its analysis reviewed various forms of positive and negative evidence in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary and if so to what degree a valuation allowance is warranted. The three year cumulative loss position of Bankshares is considered negative evidence when determining if a valuation allowance is necessary. Bankshares considered positive evidence such as previous earnings patterns, multiyear business projections and the potential realization of net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards within the prescribed time periods. In addition, Bankshares considered tax planning strategies that would impact the timing and extent of taxable income. Based on the analysis and the guidance in the relevant accounting literature, it was considered more likely than not, that Bankshares will not be able to realize all its deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2012, the net deferred tax asset was $1.6 million, compared to $1.5 million as of December 31, 2011.

Overview

On May 3, 2012, WashingtonFirst Bankshares, Inc. (WFBI), Bankshares and the Bank entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (Merger Agreement), pursuant to which Bankshares will merge with and into WFBI, with WFBI being the surviving corporation. Under the Merger Agreement, Bankshares agreed to conduct its business in the ordinary course while the Merger is pending, and, except as permitted under the Merger Agreement, to generally

 

42


Table of Contents

refrain from specific actions without the consent of WFBI. Completion of the Merger is subject to approval by the shareholders of each of Bankshares and WFBI, applicable regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.

On May 31, 2012, in contemplation of the pending Merger and after consulting with Washington First Bank, Bankshares exercised its’ early termination clause in the lease agreement with Carr Properties on the Corporate Headquarters location in Chantilly, Virginia. This event triggered a payment of $675 thousand which is recorded in the financial statements as other assets according to the guidance outlined in ASC 805 and 420.

Notwithstanding the Merger Agreement, Bankshares’ primary long-term goals continue to be maximizing earnings and deploying capital in profit driven initiatives that will enhance shareholder value in a sustainable fashion. In pursuit of these goals, Bankshares’ current emphasis is on optimizing profitability in the near term and strengthening its financial performance, while also transitioning its operations to focus more closely on traditional banking activities and to reposition Bankshares for the future. Bankshares’ transitional strategies include, among others, continuing the following initiatives:

 

   

Diversifying the loan portfolio by increasing Bankshares’ focus on commercial loans and loans secured by owner occupied commercial real estate, while continuing to be an active lender in attractive aspects of the residential and commercial real estate markets.

 

   

Reducing the investment securities portfolio and eliminating the trading assets portfolio.

 

   

Continuing to attentively manage the level of non-performing assets by addressing problem loans on a timely basis.

 

   

Increasing low cost deposits by local commercial and retail customers, while working to reduce Bankshares’ brokered deposit and repurchase agreement portfolios.

 

   

Reducing Bankshares’ operating and funding costs.

Additionally, Bankshares and the Bank are parties to a Memorandum of Understanding (the MOU) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions, which is a regulatory means of seeking correction through informal administrative action from institutions considered to be of supervisory concern, but which have not deteriorated to the point where they warrant formal administrative action. Among the specific concerns cited in the MOU were asset quality, earnings, liquidity, and capital. The MOU imposes restrictions and/or requirements on Bankshares and the Bank, including (i) the requirement to be examined twice yearly by its regulators, (ii) the requirement to provide regular quarterly progress reports to the relevant regulators and (iii) the requirement that Bankshares and the Bank receive regulatory approval to pay dividends, repurchase common stock, and make interest or principal payments on subordinated debt and trust preferred securities. Bankshares has implemented significant improvements in credit policies, loan administration, and liquidity management in its efforts to comply with the terms of the MOU. The MOU also requires Bankshares to maintain a written plan for compliance with the capital adequacy rules applicable to all state member banks under Federal Reserve Board Regulation H (12 CFR Part 208). These rules require all state member banks, including the Bank, to maintain adequate capital consistent with their risk profiles, which takes into account the volume of adversely classified loans, the adequacy of the loan loss reserve, any planned asset growth and the nature and level of asset concentrations, among other things. Given this, it is the policy of federal banking regulators not to specify or confirm that a given capital level will be “adequate” at a future point in time. As a result, federal banking regulators have not, and Bankshares cannot, identify a specific dollar amount of capital required under the MOU. However, Bankshares estimates that it would need $7.5 million to $10 million in new capital to be compliant with applicable capital adequacy rules.

Performance Highlights

 

   

The net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $170 thousand compared to a net loss of $503 thousand for the same period in 2011, an improvement of $333 thousand. The net loss was $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to net income of $256 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $1.8 million. Loss per common share, basic and diluted, amounted to $0.30 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to earnings per share of $0.05 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, were negatively affected by merger related expenses of $666 thousand, the negative fair value adjustment on the FHLB advance of $668 thousand and a reduction in interest income of $3.9 million, from $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Due to the improvement in the overall risk profile of the loan portfolio and the lower level of total loans, Alliance released $223 thousand of reserves into income and also did not recognized a provision expense during the quarter, this has positively affected net income for the period. The reduction in interest income is comprised of a $1.4 million decrease in the loan interest income and a $2.5 million decrease in the interest income from investment securities.

Table of Contents
   

Total assets were $521.9 million at September 30, 2012, an increase of $15.4 million from total assets of $506.5 million at December 31, 2011. The increase in total assets is directly related to a $69.7 million increase in cash and due from banks, with such increase being offset by $18.9 million decrease in the loan portfolio related to the payoff of a number of loan relationships as well as a $44.1 million reduction in Bankshares’ investment portfolio. The increase in cash relates to the cyclical nature of the business of Bankshares’ title and escrow clients.

 

   

Total loans were $288.0 million at September 30, 2012, a decrease of $18.9 million, or 6.2% from the December 31, 2011 balance of $306.9 million. The decrease in total loans results from a combination of strategic repositioning of lending activities, normal amortization and payoffs, the total of which offset new loan production during the period. Each loan segment as a percentage of total loans at September 30, 2012 is nearly unchanged from the percentages at December 31, 2011.

 

   

Demand deposits were $145.3 million at September 30, 2012, or 35.1% of total deposits. This compares to the December 31, 2011 level of $112.5 million, or 29.6% of total deposits.

 

   

The composition of non-performing assets as of September 30, 2012 was primarily comprised of $10.9 million of non-accrual loans, $3.6 million of OREO, $897 thousand of troubled debt restructured loans, compared to the composition of non-performing assets as of December 31, 2011, which was $13.3 million of non-accrual loans, $3.7 million of OREO and $956 thousand of troubled debt restructured loans for a total of $18.0 million. The non-performing assets balance decreased by $2.0 million at September 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011. The change resulted from the following: the charge off of six loans secured by residential real estate, totaling $838 thousand; the foreclosure and purchase into OREO of a residential property valued at $963 thousand; the full repayment of a commercial loan secured by land with a prior balance of $899 thousand; the movement back to accrual status of two loans secured by land totaling $325 thousand; and , the receipt of ongoing payments from a borrower with three outstanding loans secured by land and construction equipment totaling $4.4 million that are carried in non-accrual status; such payments reduced Bankshares’ carrying balance by $85 thousand during 2012. Since December 31, 2011, six loans totaling $1.1 million have been added to the non-accrual and impaired loan list. Of these six loans, 95% are secured by residential real estate.

 

   

The investment securities portfolio totaled $79.4 million at September 30, 2012. This compares to $123.5 million of investments as of December 31, 2011, a decrease of $44.1 million. This decrease is attributable to management’s strategy to reduce the investment portfolio by taking some opportunistic gains to mitigate some of the losses realized in the CMO portfolio and to improve the overall yield. In addition, the investment securities portfolio contains mortgage oriented products (CMO, PCMO, and MBS) and SBA securities. When prepayments on these instruments occur at a faster rate than anticipated, principal is paid down earlier than expected. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Bank experienced greater than expected prepayments on a variety of investment securities.

 

   

The net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was 3.02% compared to 3.61% for the same 2011 period, a decrease of 59 basis points. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the net interest margin of 3.10% was 64 basis points lower than the net interest margin of 3.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Table of Contents
 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Bankshares experienced early prepayments on a number of CMO’s and PCMO’s securities. When prepayments on these instruments occur at a faster rate than anticipated, premium amortization increases which adversely impacts the portfolio yield, the Bank experiences greater than expected prepayments on a variety of investment securities.

 

   

Deposits were $414.2 million at September 30, 2012, an increase of $33.8 million from the December 31, 2011 balance of $380.4 million. Strong growth in the title agency-related deposit coupled with a strategic shift of funding from repurchase agreements into deposits, contributed to the increase in overall deposit balance. Savings and NOW accounts increased by $32.6 million from $51.5 million at December 31, 2011 to $84.1 million at September 30, 2012 and non-interest bearing deposits increased by $32.8 million, from $112.5 million at December 31, 2011 to $145.3 million at September 30, 2012. These increases were offset by decreases in money market deposits of $5.3 million, from $23.4 million at December 31, 2011 to $18.1 million at September 30, 2012, and time deposits of $26.4 million, from $193.1 million at December 31, 2011 to $166.7 million at September 30, 2012.

 

   

Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $3.5 million compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2011 a reduction of $601 thousand. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, non-interest expense amounted to $10.8 million compared to $11.6 million in 2011, a reduction of $800 thousand.

Financial Performance Measures. Bankshares’ net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was $170 thousand, an improvement of $333 thousand over the third quarter of 2011 net loss of $503 thousand. The net loss of $170 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 includes net interest income of $3.1 million compared to $4.0 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $900 thousand. Results during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were primarily impacted by reduced interest income, merger-related expenses, OREO expenses and valuation write-downs, and a negative adjustment to the $25 million FHLB advance recorded at fair value, the total of which offset gains on the sale of investment securities and favorable reductions in non-interest expenses and interest expenses. Due to the improvement in the overall risk profile of the loan portfolio and a lower level of total loans, In addition, Alliance released reserves into income and also did not recognize a provision expense during the quarter. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, total interest expense was $1.1 million compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. These factors led to $0.03 basic and diluted loss per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to $0.10 basic and diluted loss per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Weighted average basic shares outstanding were 5,109,969 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 5,108,969 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 5,109,969 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 5,108,969 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, Bankshares had a net loss of $1.5 million compared to net income of $256 thousand for the same period in the prior year, a decline of $1.8 million. The net loss of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes net interest income of $9.6 million compared to $12.7 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $3.1 million. The decrease is due primarily to a decrease in interest income in the amount of $3.9 million, from $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, to $13.2 million for the same period in 2012, and the lower average yield on the investment portfolio and the lower average balances on the loan portfolio. The decrease was partially offset by a reduction of $787 thousand in the cost of funds. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, total interest expense was $3.5 million compared to $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These factors led to a $0.30 basic and diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.05. Weighted average basic shares outstanding were 5,109,969 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 5,108,616 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 5,109,969 and 5,129,311 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.

The net interest margin decreased to 3.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 3.61% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 59 basis points. The net interest margin was 3.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012

compared to 3.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 64 basis points. For the first nine months of 2012 the net interest margin continues to be negatively affected by the decrease in the yield on interest earning assets. Targeted efforts to strategically restructure Bankshares’ balance sheet in anticipation of the merger with Eagle during 2011 led to shifts in Bankshares’ investment portfolio mix and the overall reduced balance and yield on the portfolio, and the unexpected prepayments on the CMO instruments in the portfolio. Yield on the investment portfolio for the nine months ended September 31, 2012 was 1.09% compared to 3.57% for the same period in 2011. Total interest income reversal relating to non-accrual loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $355 thousand compared to $461 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income. Net interest income (on a fully tax equivalent basis) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $3.1 million compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2011. Interest income on earning assets was $1.2 million lower for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the third quarter of 2011, while interest expense decreased $257 thousand during the same time period.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $9.6 million compared to $12.8 million for the same period in 2011. Interest income on earning assets was $3.9 million lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the first nine months of 2011. Of the $3.9 million decrease in interest income, $1.1 million is attributable to the $27.5 million lower average balance in loans. The reduction in the average balance in the investment securities portfolio was $17.3 million and contributed $2.5 million to the reduction in interest income. This was offset by the decrease in interest expense of $787 thousand. The average balance of interest bearing deposits decreased by $18.0 million and contributed $818 thousand to the reduction in interest expense.

Average loan balances were $288.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $320.0 million for the same period in 2011. The $31.6 million decline is average loan balances is concentrated in a $10 million decline in C&I loan balances centered in the loss of two large lines of credit; $9.5 million reduction in Owner-occupied Commercial Mortgages where borrowers refinanced with other lenders and a $9 million decline in Residential Investment Mortgage Loans, primarily due to reduced activity with our larger Residential Flippers who buy and sell properties within a 12 month time frame.”

Bankshares longer-term strategy is to grow small business commercial loans and owner occupied commercial real estate, and focus on Bankshares’ geographical area. The related interest income from loans was $4.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $4.6 million in the same period in 2011. The average yield on loans of 5.48% during the three months ended September 30, 2012 was 19 basis points lower than the yield of 5.67% in the third quarter of 2011. Interest rates are established for classes of loans that include variable rates based on Wall Street Journal Prime or other identifiable bases while others carry fixed rates with terms out to 15 years. Most new variable rate originations include minimum start rates and/or floors.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, Bankshares held one security in its trading portfolio with an average balance of $276 thousand, compared to $639 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The trading security interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $9 thousand compared to $12 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2012, the carrying value of the security was $293 thousand.

Investment securities averaged $99.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to $117.8 million for the same quarter in 2011. Investment securities income (on a fully tax equivalent basis) was $182 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $823 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The tax equivalent average yield on investment securities for the three months ended September 30, 2012, was 0.73% compared to 2.77% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The reduction in the average balance of the investment securities portfolio reflects management’s targeted efforts to strategically restructure Bankshares’ balance sheet in anticipation of the merger during 2011 that led to shifts in Bankshares’ investment portfolio mix, the reduction in the portfolio and the reduction in the overall yield. During the second quarter and continuing into the third quarter of 2012, the Bank experienced greater than expected prepayments on a variety of investment securities which impacted the yield on the portfolio. When repayments occur at a faster rate than anticipated, premium amortization increases and adversely impact the portfolio yield.

Short-term investments in federal funds sold contributed $33 thousand to interest income in the three month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to $10 thousand for the same period in 2011. The average balance for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $19.9 million, a $12.2 million increase from the prior year average balance of $7.7 million. The increase in federal funds sold is due to the increase in the Title and Escrow businesses accounts during the quarter.

The average balance of cash and due from banks was $61.1 million and $24.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Total average interest earning assets yielded 4.10% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the yield of 4.82% for the same period in 2011. Total interest income was $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. As discussed above, interest income decreased in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011 due to the smaller average loans and securities balances, which are a product of Bankshares’ strategies to reposition its balance sheet, and lower yields generated by Bankshares’ interest-earning assets in the low interest rate environment, coupled with the unexpected prepayments on the CMO instruments in the investment portfolio.

Total average interest-bearing liabilities were $333.1 million in the third quarter of 2012, or $24.3 million lower than the third quarter of 2011 level of $357.4 million. A key driver of the decline was the decrease in average time deposits. The average balance of time deposits for the third quarter of 2012 was $168.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2011 average balance of $197.0 million, a decrease of $28.3 million. Interest expense for all interest-bearing liabilities amounted to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, or a decrease of $257 thousand. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the third quarter of 2012 was 1.31% or 20 basis points lower than the third quarter of 2011 level of 1.51%. The lower interest rate environment allowed for competitive repricing of interest bearing demand accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts and title client based time deposits. The benefits of the repricing are seen in the lower time deposit cost of 1.48% during the third quarter of 2012 compared to 1.77% during the same period of 2011.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the brokered certificate of deposit portfolio carried an average coupon rate of 1.24% compared to an average coupon rate of 1.71% at September 30, 2011. When maturing wholesale deposits mature and are replaced, Bankshares is able to secure new brokered deposits at lower rates.

Non-interest bearing demand deposits averaged $113.8 million for the third quarter of 2012, $24.7 million more than the third quarter of 2011 level of $89.1 million. This increase is due to the cyclical fluctuation in the title and escrow customer business and the growth in the title agency-related deposits, coupled with a strategic shift of funding from repurchase agreements into deposits.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, average loan balances were $294.5 million compared to $322.0 million for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $27.5 million. Interest income from loans was $12.2 million in the first nine months of 2012 compared to $13.7 million in the same period of 2011, with the average yield decreasing to 5.55% from 5.68%. The lower average balance contributed $1.1 thousand and lower rates contributed $302 thousand to the $1.4 million decrease in interest income on loans.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Bankshares held one security in its trading portfolio with an average balance of $424 thousand, compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The trading security interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $27 thousand compared to $57 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The reduction in average trading securities reflects management’s business strategy to eliminate the trading securities portfolio as Bankshares repositions the balance sheet and led to the reduction in associated interest income. At September 30, 2012, the carrying value of the security was $293 thousand.

Investment securities averaged $108.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $125.9 million for the same period in 2011. Investment securities income was $888 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The average tax equivalent yields on investment securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were 1.09% and 3.57% respectively. The reduction in average investment securities reflects management’s targeted efforts to strategically restructure our balance sheet in anticipation of the merger during 2011 which led to shifts in the portfolio mix and reduction the investment portfolio’s balance. During the second quarter and continuing into the third quarter of 2012, the Bank experienced greater than expected prepayments on a variety of investment securities which impacted the yield on the portfolio. When repayments occur at a faster rate than anticipated, premium amortization increases which adversely impacts the portfolio yield.

Short-term investments in federal funds sold contributed $72 thousand to interest income in the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to $32 thousand in the nine month period ended September 30, 2011.

The average balance of cash and due from banks was $43.4 million and $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 respectively.

Total average earning assets yielded 4.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 or 76 basis points lower than the yield of 5.00% for the same period in 2011. Total interest income (on a fully tax equivalent basis) was $13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Total average interest-bearing liabilities were $340.3 million in the first nine months of 2012 or $28.8 million less than the first nine months of 2011 level of $369.1 million. The average balance of time deposits was $17.7 million lower than the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, interest expense was $3.5 million compared to $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The average cost of interest-bearing

For the nine months ended, September 30, 2012, due to improvement in the overall risk profile of the loan portfolio and a lower level of total loans, the Company released reserves into income of $223 thousand, and did not recognize a provision expense for the period.

Non-interest Income (Other Income). Non-interest income amounted to a loss of $153 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $498 thousand from a loss of $651 thousand of non-interest income for the same period of 2011.

Fair value adjustments on the FHLB advance and the trading security recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2012 resulted in a net loss of $401 thousand, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $2.4 million. The net loss of $170 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2012 is primarily driven by a negative fair value adjustment of $459 thousand on the FHLB advance, and gains of $171 thousand on the sale of investment securities

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012, amounted to $3.5 million compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $600 thousand. The key components of non-interest expenses are salary and employee benefits, merger related expenses, occupancy expenses and professional fees. Salary and employee benefits expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were $956 million, compared to the third quarter of 2011 level of $1.2 million, a decrease of $241 thousand. Professional fees for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were $465 thousand, compared to the third quarter of 2011 level of $398 thousand, an increase of $67 thousand, which is due to the use of contract employees in the Human Resources, Information Technology and Accounting departments. Merger expenses were $248 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $619 thousand for the same period in 2011. Occupancy expenses and equipment expenses collectively totaled $702 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to the 2011 level of $741 thousand, a decrease of $39 thousand.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, non-interest expense was $10.8 million compared to $11.6 million for the 2011 period, a decrease of $800 thousand. Salaries and employee benefits expenses decreased by $716 thousand, occupancy and equipment expenses decreased by $94 thousand, merger related expenses increased by $47 thousand, and professional fees increased by $319 thousand. This increase in professional fees is due to the use of contract employees to fill open positions in the Human Resources, Information Technology, and Accounting departments. OREO expenses for the nine months ended excluding valuation allowance was $109 thousand and $77 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 respectively. FDIC assessments decreased by $227 thousand, and there was a decrease of $382 thousand in other operating expenses. There were also merger related expenses of $666 thousand.

Income Taxes. Bankshares recorded an income tax benefit of $156 thousand and $227 thousand related to the FHLB fair value adjustment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 respectively. This income tax benefit was an increase of $297 thousand over the nine months ended, September 30, 2011 and a decrease of $333 thousand for three months ended September 30, 2011.

At December 31, 2011, Bankshares performed an analysis to determine if a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was necessary. Its analysis reviewed various forms of positive and negative evidence in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary and if so to what degree a valuation allowance is warranted. The three year cumulative loss position of Bankshares is considered negative evidence when determining if a valuation allowance is necessary. Bankshares considered positive evidence such as previous earnings patterns, multiyear business projections and the potential realization of net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards within the prescribed time periods. In addition, Bankshares considered tax planning strategies that would impact the timing and extent of taxable income. Based on the analysis and the guidance in the relevant accounting literature, it was considered more likely than not, that Bankshares will not be able to realize all of its deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2012, the net deferred tax asset was $1.6 million, compared to $1.5 million as of December 31, 2011. The change in the net asset is due to fair value changes relating to the FHLB advance.

Investment Securities - Available-for-Sale.

Bankshares actively manages its portfolio duration and composition with changing market conditions and changes in balance sheet risk management needs. Additionally, the securities are pledged as collateral for certain borrowing transactions and repurchase agreements. The total amount of the investment securities accounted for under available-for-sale accounting was $79.4 million September 30, 2012 compared to $123.5 million at December 31, 2011. Targeted efforts to strategically restructure the balance sheet in 2011 led to shifts in the investment portfolio mix and reduced the investment securities portfolio balance at September 30, 2012.

On September 30, 2012, the investment portfolio contained callable and non-callable U.S. government corporations and agencies securities, U.S. government collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), U.S. government mortgage backed securities (MBS), PCMOs, and municipal securities.

Table of Contents

On September 30, 2012, U.S. corporations and agencies were $18.6 million or 23.4% of the portfolio, PCMOs, CMOs and MBS were $51.9 million, or 65.4% of the portfolio, and municipal securities were $8.9 million, or 11.2% of the portfolio.

The yield on the investment securities portfolio as of September 30, 2012 was 2.53%. During the third quarter of 2012, the Bank earned $182 thousand on the investment securities portfolio or an effective tax equivalent yield of 0.73%. The investment securities portfolio contains mortgage oriented products (CMO, PCMO, and MBS) and SBA securities. Bankshares is experiencing lower yields on the portfolio in 2012 on a number of instruments. When prepayments on these instruments occur at a faster rate than anticipated, premium amortization increases which adversely impacts the portfolio yield. During the second quarter and continuing into the third quarter of 2012, the Bank experienced greater than expected prepayments on a variety of investment securities. The U. S. treasuries matured during the first nine months of 2012 and were re-invested in higher yielding securities.

Loan Portfolio.

In its lending activities, Bankshares seeks to develop substantial relationships with clients whose business and individual banking needs will grow with the Bank. Bankshares has made significant efforts to be responsive to the lending needs in the markets served, while maintaining sound asset quality and credit practices. Bankshares grants credit to commercial business, commercial real estate, real estate construction, residential real estate and consumer borrowers in the normal course of business. The loan portfolio net of discounts and fees was $288.0 million as of September 30, 2012, or $18.9 million lower than the December 31, 2011 level of $306.9 million.

The following table summarizes the composition of the loan portfolio by dollar amount and each segment as a percentage of the total loan portfolio as of the dates indicated:

Substantially all loans are initially underwritten based on identifiable cash flows and supported by appropriate advance rates on collateral, which is independently valued. Commercial loans are generally secured by accounts receivable, equipment and business assets. Commercial real estate is secured by owner-occupied or non-owner occupied commercial properties of all types. Real estate construction loans are supported by projects which generally require an appropriate level of pre-sales or pre-leasing. Generally, all commercial and real estate loans have full recourse to the owners and/or sponsors. Residential real estate is secured by first or second trusts on both owner-occupied and investor-owned residential properties.

As noted in the table above, loans secured by various types of real estate constitute a significant portion of total loans. Commercial real estate loans represent the largest dollar exposure. Substantially all of these loans are secured by properties in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area with the heaviest concentration in Northern Virginia and Fairfax County in particular. Risk is managed through diversification by sub-market, property type, and loan size. Risk is further managed by seeking investment property loans with multiple tenants and by emphasizing owner-occupied loans. The average loan size in this portfolio is $582 thousand as of September 30, 2012.

The table also shows a modest increase in the construction/land portion of the portfolio, which represented 14.4% of the portfolio at September 30, 2012 and 12.8% of the portfolio at December 31, 2011. The current levels of construction/land loans are a product of management’s efforts to moderate this type of lending in recent years. New originations in this

segment are being underwritten in the context of current market conditions and are particularly focused in sub-markets which appear to be the strongest in the region. Legacy loans, particularly in the land portion of this portfolio, have been largely converted to amortizing loans with regular principal and interest payments. Bankshares expects to see further reductions in its land exposure offset by potential increases in certain residential construction activities as market conditions improve.

Loans secured by residential real estate have declined 8.7% since December 31, 2011, with reductions across most relevant loan classes to include both owner-occupied and investment residential categories. All loans in these categories represent loans underwritten by Bankshares, (Bankshares does not purchase loans in this portfolio) to customers with whom it has had direct contact in the local communities it serves. Bankshares believes that its underwriting criteria reflect current market conditions. The portfolio of first mortgage loans had an average size per housing unit of $331 thousand as of September 30, 2012. Bankshares’ subordinate trust loans averaged $99 thousand per property as of September 30, 2012. While Bankshares recognizes that the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. residential real estate market continues to be a nascent recovery, Bankshares believes that its current underwriting standards, its emphasis on serving the sub-markets it knows, the granularity of its portfolio, and the continued reduction of its subordinate trust portfolio represent the appropriate risk management strategies for this portfolio.

Asset Quality

Bankshares segregates loans meeting the criteria for special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss from non-classified, or pass rated loans. Bankshares reviews the characteristics of each rating at least annually, generally during the first quarter of each year. The characteristics of these ratings are as follows:

Pass and watch rated loans (risk ratings 1 to 6) are to persons or business entities with an acceptable financial condition, appropriate collateral margins, appropriate cash flow to service

Table of Contents

the existing loans, and an appropriate leverage ratio. The borrower has paid all obligations as agreed and it is expected that the borrower will maintain this type of payment history. Routinely, acceptable personal guarantors support these loans.

Special mention loans (risk rating 7) have a specific defined weakness in the borrower’s operations and/or the borrower’s ability to generate positive cash flow on a sustained basis. The borrower’s recent payment history is characterized by late payments. Bankshares’ risk exposure to special mention loans is mitigated by collateral supporting the loan. The collateral is considered to be well-managed, well maintained, accessible and readily marketable.

Substandard loans (risk rating 8) are considered to have specific and well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the viability of Bankshares’ credit extension. The payment history for the loan has been inconsistent and the expected or projected primary repayment source may be inadequate to service the loan. The estimated net liquidation value of the collateral pledged and/or ability of the personal guarantors to pay the loan may not adequately protect Bankshares. There is a distinct possibility that Bankshares will sustain some loss if the deficiencies associated with the loan are not corrected in the near term. A substandard loan would not automatically meet Bankshares’ definition of an impaired loan unless the loan is significantly past due and the borrower’s performance and financial condition provide evidence that it is probable Bankshares will be unable to collect all amounts due.

Substandard non-accrual loans have the same characteristics as substandard loans. However these loans have a non-accrual classification generally because the borrower’s principal or interest payments are 90 days or more past due.

Doubtful rated loans (risk rating 9) have all the weakness inherent in a loan that is classified as substandard but with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable based upon current existing facts, conditions, and values. The possibility of loss related to doubtful rated loans is extremely high.

Loss (risk rating 10) rated loans are not considered collectible under normal circumstances and there is no realistic expectation for any future payment on the loan. Loss rated loans are fully charged off.

Internal risk ratings of pass (rating numbers 1 to 5) and watch (rating number 6) are deemed to be unclassified assets. Internal risk ratings of special mention (rating number 7), substandard (rating number 8), doubtful (rating number 9) and loss (rating number 10) are deemed to be classified assets.

As part of Bankshares’ normal credit risk management practices, it regularly monitors the payment performance of its borrowers. Substantially all loans require some form of payment on a monthly basis, with a high percentage requiring regular amortization of principal. However, certain HELOCs, commercial and industrial lines of credit, and construction loans generally require only monthly interest payments.

When payments are 90 days or more in arrears or when Bankshares determines that it is no longer prudent to recognize current interest income on a loan, Bankshares classifies the loan as non-accrual. The decrease in non-accrual loans from $13.3 million at December 2011 to $10.9 million at September 30, 2012 is attributed to the following factors: Six non-accrual/impaired loans totaling $838 thousand secured by residential real estate were charged off during the period, one loan for $963 thousand was secured by a residential property in Fairfax County, Virginia which was foreclosed into Bankshares’ OREO; and a commercial loan totaling $899 thousand secured by land in Fairfax County, Virginia was paid in full. Four other non-accrual loans continue to receive ongoing payments which are applied to reduce Bankshares’ carrying value for these loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of losses that may be sustained in Bankshares’ loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (1) ASC 450-10-05, Contingencies which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable, and (2) ASC 310-10-35, Receivables which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows, or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.

The allowance for loan losses was $4.9 million at September 30, 2012, or 1.69 % of loans outstanding, compared to $5.4 million or 1.76% of loans outstanding, at December 31, 2011. Bankshares has allocated $1.7 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2011 for specific non-performing loans. For the first nine months of 2012, Bankshares had net charge-offs of $755 thousand compared to net charge-offs of $1.3 million in the same period of 2011.

As part of its routine credit administration process, Bankshares engages an outside consulting firm to review its loan portfolio periodically. The information from these reviews is used to monitor individual loans as well as to evaluate the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

 

62


Table of Contents

In reviewing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at each period, management takes into consideration the historical loan losses experienced by Bankshares, current economic conditions affecting the borrowers’ ability to repay, the volume of loans, trends in delinquent, non-accruing, and potential problem loans, and the quality of collateral securing loans. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when Bankshares believes that the collection of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries of losses previously charged against the allowance are credited to the allowance. After charging off all known losses incurred in the loan portfolio, management considers on a quarterly basis whether the allowance for loan losses remains adequate to cover its estimate of probable future losses, and establishes a provision for loan losses as appropriate. Because the allowance for loan losses is an estimate, as the loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses review process continues to evolve, there may be changes to this estimate and elements used in the methodology that may have an effect on the overall level of allowance maintained.

Over the past several quarters, we have experienced a reduction in our loan portfolio and in the losses we have previously experienced. Net loans outstanding decreased $5.5 million from June 30, 2012 to September 30, 2012, due to the payoffs from several large commercial borrowers, coupled with a reduction in activities from our residential real estate investors. Due to these events coupled with the improvement in our risk profile of the loan portfolio reflected in the ASC450-10-05 portion of the Allowance for Loan Losses model, and lower level of loans, Alliance released $222 thousand of previous recorded reserves into income and did not recognized a provision expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Table of Contents

The following table provides a breakdown of the allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan type. However, management does not believe that the allowance for loan losses can be fragmented by category with any precision that would be useful to investors. As such, the entire allowance is available for losses in any particular category, notwithstanding this allocation. The breakdown of the allowance for loan losses is based primarily upon those factors discussed above in computing the allowance for loan losses as a whole. Because all of these factors are subject to change, the allocation and actual results are not necessarily indicative of the exact category of potential loan losses.

Non-performing Assets

Non-accrual Loans. A loan may be placed on non-accrual status when the loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent 90 days or more. Bankshares closely monitors individual loans, and relationship officers are charged with working with customers to resolve potential credit issues in a timely manner with minimum exposure to Bankshares. Bankshares maintains a policy of adding an appropriate amount to the allowance for loan losses to ensure an adequate reserve based on the portfolio composition, specific credit extended by the Bank, general economic conditions and other factors and external circumstances identified during the process of estimating probable losses in the Company’s loan portfolio.

On September 30, 2012, there was $10.9 million in loans on non-accrual status compared to $13.3 million at December 31, 2011. The $10.9 million non-accrual loan balance consists mostly of loans secured by residential and commercial real estate in the Northern Virginia area. The specific allowance for impaired loans as of September 30, 2012 is $1.7 million.

 

65


Table of Contents

Non-accruals for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $10.9 million, compared to $10.7 for the same period in 2011. Non-accrual loans continue to represent transactions originated in 2006 and prior.

Total Non-performing Assets. As of September 30, 2012, Bankshares had $15.9 million of non-performing assets on the balance sheet compared to $18.0 million as of December 31, 2011, a decrease of $2.1 million. This decrease is primarily comprised of the charge off of six loans, secured by residential real estate, totaling $838 thousand; the foreclosure and purchase into OREO of a residential property valued at $963 thousand; the full repayment of a commercial loan secured by land with a prior balance of $899 thousand; the movement back to accrual status of two loans secured by land totaling $325 thousand. Since December 31, 2011, six loans totaling $1.1 million have been added to the non-accrual and impaired loan list. Of these six loans, 95% are secured by residential real estate. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets decreased to 3.04% as of September 30, 2012 from 3.55% as of December 31, 2011, a 51 basis points decrease.

The OREO balance includes $951 thousand which relates to residential acreage in the Stephens City, Virginia, $790 thousand which relates to acreage in Woodstock, Virginia, and $720 thousand which relates to a farm property in Charles Town, West Virginia, and $851 thousand which relates to residential property in Northern Virginia. The remainder is made up of five additional properties totaling $263 thousand at September 30, 2012.

Deposits. Bankshares seeks deposits within its market area by offering high-quality customer service, using technology to deliver deposit services effectively and paying competitive interest rates. A significant portion of its client base and deposits are directly related to home sales and refinancing activity, including those from title and escrow agency customers.

At September 30, 2012, the deposit portfolio was $414.2 million, an increase of $33.8 million compared to the December 31, 2011 level of $380.4 million. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 1.20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, or 33 basis points less than the nine months ended September 30, 2011 average cost of 1.53%. As key interest rates declined over the past year, Bankshares repriced deposits at lower levels.

At September 30, 2012, Bankshares’ savings and NOW deposits were $84.1 million compared to $51.5 million at December 31, 2011, a $32.6 million increase. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits were $98.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to average non-interest bearing demand deposits of $89.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $8.6 million. The disparity between the September 30, 2012 balance of non-interest bearing deposits of $145.3 million and the average balance for the first nine months of 2012 of non-interest bearing deposits of $98.0 million is directly related to seasonal and cyclical changes in the business activities of Bankshares’ title and escrow agency client base. Frequently, Bankshares’ title and escrow agency clients experience strong deposit growth around the end of a month or quarter.

Bankshares currently uses wholesale brokered deposits. Bankshares believes these types of funds offer a reliable, stable source of funds for the Bank. Frequently the interest rates associated with wholesale brokered deposits are significantly lower than general customer rates in its markets. As market conditions warrant and balance sheet needs dictate, Bankshares may continue to participate in the wholesale brokered certificate of deposit market. As with any deposit product, Bankshares has potential risk for non-renewal by the customer and/or broker.

As of September 30, 2012, Bankshares had $100.5 million of wholesale brokered certificates of deposit which is $21.9 million lower than the December 31, 2011 level of $122.4 million. This decrease is due to management’s decision not to renew a certificate of deposit that matured during the first nine months of 2012.

Purchased Funds and Other Borrowings. Purchased funds and other borrowings include repurchase agreements (repos), which Bankshares offers to commercial customers and affluent individuals, federal funds purchased and treasury, tax and loan balances. The bulk of purchased funds are made up of the following four categories: customer repos, outstanding federal funds purchased, the Trust Preferred Capital Notes and FHLB advances. Customer repos amounted to $22.6 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $40.4 million at December 31, 2011, a decrease of 17.8 million. The decrease in the Customer repurchase portfolio resulted from management’s decision to reduce the balance in repositioning the balance sheet and the investment portfolio. The Trust Preferred Capital Notes were $10.3 million for all periods presented.

Customer repurchase agreements are standard commercial banking transactions that involve a Bank customer instead of a wholesale bank or broker. Bankshares offers this product as an accommodation to larger retail and commercial customers and affluent individuals that request safety for their funds beyond the FDIC deposit insurance limits. Bankshares believes this product offers it a stable source of financing at a reasonable market rate of interest. Bankshares does not use or have any open repurchase agreements with any broker-dealers.

The FHLB is a key source of funding for the Bank. During the periods presented, Bankshares has used overnight advances (daily rate credit) to support its short-term liquidity needs. On a longer term basis, Bankshares augments its funding portfolio with its two FHLB advances, one of which is accounted for on a fair value basis, and one of which is accounted for on a cost basis.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the FHLB long-term advance accounted for on a fair value basis had a value of $30.0 million and $29.4 million respectively, and matures in 2021. The weighted average interest rate on the long-term FHLB advance accounted for on a fair value basis was 3.99% for all periods presented. The par value of the FHLB advance was $25.0 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31 2011.

At September 30, 2012, there was one FHLB advance accounted for on a cost basis. Bankshares entered into this floating rate advance in the first quarter of 2012 for $15.0 million. The advance matures in 2013 and the interest rate at September 30, 2012 was 0.32%. The weighted average interest rate for both FHLB advances at September 30, 2012 is 2.61%.

Fair Value of Liability Classified as Level 3. Beginning in the third quarter of 2008 and continuing through the present time, portions of the investment and debt markets have experienced a period of significant distress and dysfunction, and market values for certain financial instruments may not be readily available. Although certain portions of the investment and debt markets have improved, the fair value of an instrument is not the same as a liquidation value. In evaluating the fair value of funding instruments, Bankshares determined that the typical valuation techniques did not take into account the distressed investment and debt markets. As such, Bankshares considered other factors such as typical spreads for the instruments, conversion swaptions, swap curves, discounted cash flow models, previously observable non-distressed valuations and bond issuance rates and spreads for investment and non-investment grade instruments. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of the long-term FHLB advance accounted for on a fair value basis was $30.0 million and $29.4 million respectively.

Liquidity. Bankshares specifically focuses on liquidity management to meet the demand for funds from its depositors and lending clients as well as expenses that it incurs in the operation of its business. Bankshares has a formal liquidity management policy and a contingency funding policy used to assist management in executing the liquidity strategies necessary for the Bank. Similar to other banking organizations, the Bank monitors the need for funds to support depositor activities and funding of loans. Bankshares’ client base includes a significant number of title and escrow businesses which have more deposit inflows and outflows than a traditional commercial business relationship. The Bank maintains additional liquidity sources to support the needs of this client base. As noted in the risk factors section of Bankshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the forward-looking statement section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, loss of relationship officers or clients could have a material impact on Bankshares’ liquidity position through a reduction in average deposits.

Bankshares’ Chief Financial Officer monitors its overall liquidity position daily. Bankshares can and will draw upon federal funds lines with correspondent banks, draw upon reverse repurchase agreement lines with correspondent banks and use FHLB advances as needed. Bankshares’ deposit customers frequently have lower deposit balances in the middle of the month, and balances generally rise toward the end of each month. As such, Bankshares uses wholesale funding techniques to support its balance sheet and asset portfolios, although its longer term plan is to increase deposits from its local retail and commercial deposits and maintain available wholesale funding sources as additional liquidity.

As of September 30, 2012, Bankshares had $115.5 million in cash and due from banks to support the business activities and deposit flows of its clients. The Bank maintains credit lines at the FHLB and other correspondent banks. At September 30, 2012, the Bank had a total credit line of $101.4 million with the FHLB with an unused portion of $61.4 million. Borrowings with the FHLB have certain collateral requirements and are subject to disbursement approval by the FHLB. At September 30, 2012, the Bank had $30.0 million in secured borrowing capacity and $4.0 million in unsecured borrowing capacity (both reverse repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased) from other correspondent banks. As of September 30, 2012, the Bank did not have any outstanding borrowings from its other correspondent banks. All borrowings from correspondent banks are subject to disbursement approval. The Bank is also eligible to borrow from the Federal Reserve Discount Window subject to the collateral requirements and other terms and conditions that may exist. In addition to the borrowing capacity described above, Bankshares and the Bank may sell investment securities, loans and other assets to generate additional liquidity. Bankshares anticipates maintaining sufficient liquidity to protect depositors, provide for business growth and comply with regulatory requirements.

Capital

Both Bankshares and the Bank are considered “well capitalized” under the risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the federal banking regulatory agencies. Capital adequacy is an important measure of financial stability. Maintaining a “well capitalized” regulatory position is paramount for each organization. Both Bankshares and the Bank monitor the capital positions to ensure appropriate capital for the respective risk profile of each organization, as well as sufficient levels to promote depositor and investor confidence in the respective organizations.

Total shareholders’ equity was $27.1 million as of September 30, 2012 compared to the December 31, 2011 level of $28.1 million. The change in equity is primarily attributable to Bankshares’ net loss for the first nine months of 2012 of $1.5 million and unrealized gains on securities of $442 thousand. Book value per common share was $5.30 as of September 30, 2012, compared to $5.50 as of December 31, 2011. The net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities amounted to $478 thousand, net of tax, as of September 30, 2012, compared to a net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities of $36 thousand, net of tax, as of December 31, 2011.

Other comprehensive income represents the unrealized gains or losses associated with available-for-sale securities and related reclassification adjustments.

Payment of dividends is at the discretion of Bankshares’ Board of Directors and is subject to various federal and state regulatory limitations. It is Bankshares’ current policy to retain earnings to support its banking operations and its business risk profile. In addition, the terms of the Merger Agreement restrict Bankshares from declaring, setting aside or paying any dividends or other distributions on any class of its capital stock without the consent of WFBI while the Merger is pending.

On September 30, 2003, Bankshares’ wholly-owned Delaware statutory business trust (the Trust), privately issued $10.0 million face amount of the trust’s floating rate trust preferred capital securities (Trust Preferred Capital Notes) in a pooled trust preferred capital securities offering. The Trust issued $310 thousand in common equity to Bankshares. Simultaneously, the Trust used the proceeds of the sale to purchase $10.3 million principal amount of Bankshares’ floating rate junior subordinated debentures due 2033 (Subordinated Debentures). Both the Trust Preferred Capital Notes and the Subordinated Debentures are callable at any time. The Subordinated Debentures are an unsecured obligation of Bankshares and are junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness of Bankshares. The Trust Preferred Capital Notes are guaranteed by Bankshares on a subordinated basis. The Trust Preferred Capital Notes are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of Bankshares under the caption “Trust Preferred Capital Notes.” Bankshares records distributions payable on the Trust Preferred Capital Notes as an interest expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The interest rate associated with the Trust Preferred Capital Notes is three month LIBOR plus 3.15% subject to quarterly interest rate adjustments. Under the indenture governing the Trust Preferred Capital Notes, Bankshares has the right to defer payments of interest for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods. Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and through September 30, 2012, Bankshares elected to defer the interest payments as permitted under the indenture. The interest deferred under the indenture compounds quarterly at the interest rate then in effect. As of September 30, 2012, the total amount of deferred and compounded interest owed under the indenture is $1.3 million. The base interest rate as of September 30, 2012 was 3.54% and as of December 31, 2011 was 3.70%.

All or a portion of Trust Preferred Capital Notes may be included in the regulatory computation of capital adequacy as Tier 1 capital. Under the current guidelines, Tier 1 capital may include up to 25% of shareholders’ equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the form of Trust Preferred Capital Notes. At September 30, 2012 and

Table of Contents

December 31, 2011, $8.9 and $9.4 was considered Tier 1 capital. Management does not expect the restrictions on Tier 1 capital treatment of trust preferred securities that were enacted by the Dodd-Frank Act to impact the Tier 1 capital status of the Trust Preferred Capital Notes, as the Dodd-Frank Act’s restrictions generally do not apply to trust preferred securities issued prior to enactment by institutions with fewer than $15 billion in assets.

The regulatory risk based capital guidelines establish minimum capital levels for the Bank to be deemed “well capitalized.” The guidelines for “well capitalized” call for a leverage ratio of 5.0%, tier 1 risk based capital ratio of 6.0% and total risk based capital ratio of 10.0%. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had capital ratios of 7.4%, 12.1% and 13.7%, respectively, all in excess of the regulatory minimums to be “well capitalized.” The Bank and Bankshares continuously monitor the capital levels and the risk profile of the entities to determine if capital levels are sufficient for the risk profiles of the organization. The MOU also requires Bankshares to maintain a written plan for compliance with the capital adequacy rules applicable to all state member banks under Federal Reserve Board Regulation H (12 CFR Part 208). These rules require all state member banks, including the Bank, to maintain adequate capital consistent with their risk profiles, which takes into account the volume of adversely classified loans, the adequacy of the loan loss reserve, any planned asset growth and the nature and level of asset concentrations, among other things. Given this, it is the policy of federal banking regulators not to specify or confirm that a given capital level will be “adequate” at a future point in time. As a result, federal banking regulators have not, and Bankshares cannot, identify a specific dollar amount of capital required under the MOU. However, Bankshares estimates that it would need $7.5 million to $10 million in new capital to be compliant with applicable capital adequacy rules.

Concentrations. Substantially all of Bankshares’ loans, commitments and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers located in the greater Washington, D.C. Metropolitan region, primarily in the Northern Virginia area. Bankshares’ overall business includes a significant focus on real estate activities, including real estate lending, title companies and real estate settlement businesses. As of September 30, 2012, commercial real estate loans were 43.6% and residential real estate loans were 32.1% of the total gross loan portfolio. In addition, a substantial portion of our non-interest bearing deposits is generated by our title and escrow company clients. As of September 30, 2012, the non-interest bearing deposits were 35.1% of total deposits. The impact of the title and escrow company concentration can create more volatility in our funding mix, especially during periods of declines in the real estate market, which can have an impact on organizational profitability.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

Bankshares and the Bank enter into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of customers. These off-balance sheet arrangements include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees which would impact the overall liquidity and capital resources to the extent customers accept and/or use these commitments. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. With the exception of these off-balance sheet arrangements, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

As of September 30, 2012, there are no material changes to the off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in Bankshares’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities that have indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, reported in their financial statements. The amendments in this ASU provide an entity with the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired to determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. The amendments also enhance the consistency of impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories by permitting an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to calculate the asset’s fair value when testing an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on Bankshares’ consolidated financial statements.

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-06, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution.” The amendments in this ASU clarify the applicable guidance for subsequently measuring an indemnification asset recognized as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution. In addition, the amendments should resolve current diversity in practice on the subsequent measurement of these types of indemnification assets. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to any new indemnification assets acquired after the date of adoption and to indemnification assets existing as of the date of adoption arising from a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution. The adoption of the new guidance will not have a material impact on Bankshares’ consolidated financial statements

In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2011-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, require new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2011-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on Bankshares’ consolidated financial statements.

In July 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-20, “Receivables (Topic 310) – Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” The new disclosure guidance significantly expands the existing requirements and will lead to greater transparency into an entity’s exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements. The extensive new disclosures of information as of the end of a reporting period became effective for both interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2011. Specific disclosures regarding activity that occurred before the issuance of the ASU, such as the allowance roll forward and modification disclosures were required for periods beginning on or after December 15,

2011. Bankshares has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements and the disclosures did not have a material impact on Bankshares’ consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-28, “Intangible – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The amendments in this ASU became effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption was not permitted. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on Bankshares’ consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” The guidance requires pro forma disclosure for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma information should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2011-29 became effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on Bankshares’ consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Asset Liability Management (ALM) Risk Management. Bankshares engages a consulting firm to model its short-term and long-term interest rate risk profile. The model includes basic business assumptions, interest rates, repricing information and other relevant market data necessary to project Bankshares’ interest rate risk. The Board of Directors has established interest rate risk limits for both short-term and long-term interest rate exposure. On a periodic basis, management reports to the Board of Directors on Bankshares’ base interest rate risk profile and expectations of changes in the profiles based on certain interest rate shocks.

Net Interest Income Sensitivity (Short-term Interest Rate Risk). Bankshares’ ALM process evaluates the effect of upward and downward changes in market interest rates on future net interest income. This analysis involves shocking the interest rates used in determining net interest income over the next twelve months. The resulting percentage change in net interest income in various rate scenarios is an indication of Bankshares’ shorter-term interest rate risk. This analysis is accomplished by assuming a static balance sheet over a period of time with maturing and repayment dollars being rolled back into like instruments for new terms at current market rates. Additional assumptions are applied to modify volumes and pricing under various rate scenarios. These assumptions include prepayments, the sensitivity of non-maturity deposit rates, and other factors deemed significant by Bankshares.

The ALM model results for September 30, 2012 are shown in the table below. Assuming an immediate upward shift in market interest rates of 100 basis points, the results indicate Bankshares would expect net interest income to increase over the next twelve months by 3.00%. Assuming a shift downward of 100 basis points, Bankshares would expect net interest income to decrease over the next twelve months by 4.4%.

Economic Value of Equity (Long-term Interest Rate Risk). The economic value of equity process models the cashflows of financial instruments to maturity. The model incorporates growth and pricing assumptions to develop a baseline Economic Value of Equity (EVE). The interest rates used in the model are then shocked for an immediate increase or decrease in interest rates. The results of the shocked model are compared to the baseline results to determine the percentage change in EVE under the various scenarios. The resulting percentage change in EVE is an indication of the longer term repricing risk and options embedded in the balance sheet.

Table of Contents

The table below shows as of September 30, 2012, ALM model results under various interest rate shocks:

 

     September 30, 2012  

Interest Rate Shocks

     –9.3     –4.1

     –4.4     –1.3

+100 bp

     3.0     0.7

+200 bp

     6.3     –0.1

All results above are within Bankshares’ current interest rate risk policy guidelines.

Interest Rate Gap. In addition to the NII and EVE models, management reviews Bankshares’ “static” gap position. The cumulative gap position within one year was $12.0 million, or 2.3% of total assets, at September 30, 2012. While this measurement technique is common in the financial services industry, it has limitations and is not Bankshares’ sole tool for measuring interest rate sensitivity. Bankshares does not believe this model accurately reflects its true short-term and long-term interest rate exposure. As an example, $78.3 million of the investment and trading securities at September 30, 2012 are classified as greater than five years due to the contractual maturity of the instruments. Investment and trading securities are easily marketed and can be liquidated in a short period of time. As a result, it is reasonable to consider a portion of, or perhaps all of, the $78.3 million of investment and trading securities as the “within three month” category, which further suggests a more balanced short-term interest rate position for Bankshares.

Interest Rate Risk Management Summary. As part of its interest rate risk management, Bankshares typically uses the trading and investment portfolio and its wholesale funding instruments to balance its interest rate exposure. There is no guarantee that the risk management techniques and balance sheet management strategies Bankshares employs will be effective in periods of rapid rate movements or extremely volatile periods. Bankshares believes its strategies are prudent and within its policy guidelines in the base case of its modeling efforts as of September 30, 2012.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Bankshares has disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that Bankshares files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including Bankshares’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Bankshares’ management evaluated, with the participation of Bankshares’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of Bankshares’ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, Bankshares’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Bankshares’ disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2012.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that Bankshares’ disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within Bankshares to disclose material information required to be set forth in Bankshares’ periodic reports.

No changes in Bankshares’ internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Bankshares’ internal controls over financial reporting.
