BUSINESS


General


Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. (Company) is a one-bank holding company formed on December 18, 2003   The Company is the sole shareholder of its only subsidiary, Citizens Bank and Trust Company (Bank). The Bank conducts and transacts the general business of a commercial bank as authorized by the banking laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank was incorporated in 1873 under the laws of Virginia. Deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In September 1995, the Bank became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.


The Company’s primary activity is retail and commercial banking through its sole subsidiary - the Bank. Financial services include commercial and consumer demand and time deposit accounts, real estate, commercial and consumer loans, online internet banking, 24-hour ATM network, brokerage services, safe deposit boxes, wire transfer services and other miscellaneous services incidental to the operation of a commercial bank. The Bank also acts as agent for Visa and Master Card. The Bank is authorized to have a trust department, but does not offer trust services. The Bank’s primary trade areas are served by its 10 branches located in the counties of Nottoway, Amelia, Prince Edward, Chesterfield and the City of Colonial Heights, Virginia.


The Company’s primary revenue comes from retail banking in the form of interest income received on loans and investments. This income is partially offset by the Company’s interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds, resulting in net interest income. The Company’s earnings also come from noninterest income in the form of deposit fees, gain on the sale of investments, ATM fees, etc. The Company’s combined noninterest income and net interest income are offset by the Company’s noninterest expense which includes employee compensation and benefits, occupancy, equipment and other operating expenses.


The Bank holds a 1.03% ownership in Bankers Investment Group, LLC which is used to deliver investment services to customers. The Bank also holds a 15.15% ownership interest in Bankers Title, LLC which it uses to sell title insurance. The Company has an 8.06% ownership in the Davenport Community Financial Fund, LLC which seeks capital appreciation by investing substantially all of its assets in community banks located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The Company has an ownership interest of 9.57% in the Community Bankers’ Bank Community Development Fund II, LLC which represents an ownership interest in Community Bankers’ Bank. The financial position and operating results of these investments are not significant to the Company as a whole and are not considered principal activities of the Company.


The Company maintains an internet website at www.greatbanksva.com which contains information relating to the business. The Company makes available free of charge through its website its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K as soon as possible after such forms have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of the Company’s Audit Committee Charter, Nominating Committee Charter and Code of Conduct are available upon written request to the Company’s Corporate Secretary.


Employees


As of December 31, 2005, the Company employed 109 full-time equivalent employees. The Company’s success is highly dependent on its ability to attract and retain qualified employees. Competition in the industry is intense for employees, however the Company believes it has been successful in recruiting qualified employees and believes relations with its employees are excellent.

Competition


The Bank competes for business with numerous other financial institutions in its various trade areas which include the counties of Nottoway, Amelia, Prince Edward, Chesterfield and the City of Colonial Heights, Virginia. The Bank also serves a significant number of residents in Lunenburg County, Virginia as well as the western part of Dinwiddie County, Virginia. The following data reflects the Bank’s market share in its primary market places at June 30, 2005, according to information obtained from the FDIC website. In Amelia County, the Bank held 29.45% of the market share, in Nottoway County, 64.87%, in Prince Edward County, 14.81%, in Chesterfield County, 0.10% and in the City of Colonial Heights, 0.79%.


Credit Policies/Loan Activities


The Bank offers a full range of short to medium term commercial and consumer loans. Commercial loans include both secured and unsecured loans for working capital (including inventory and receivables), business expansion (including acquisition of real estate and improvements) and purchase of equipment and machinery. Consumer loans may include secured and unsecured loans for financing automobiles, home improvements, education and personal investments.


Lending activities are subject to a variety of lending limits imposed by state law. While differing limits apply in certain circumstances based on the type of loan or the nature of the borrower (including the borrower’s relationship to the Bank), in general the Bank is subject to a loan-to-one borrower limit of an amount equal to 15% of its capital and surplus. The Bank voluntarily may choose to impose a policy limit on loans to a single borrower that is less than the legal lending limit.


The Bank obtains short to medium term commercial and personal loans through direct solicitation of business owners and  loan officers. As part of the application process, information is obtained concerning the income, financial condition, employment and credit history of the applicant. If commercial real estate is involved, information is also obtained concerning cash flow after debt service. Loan quality is analyzed based on the bank’s experience and its credit underwriting guidelines which considers appraised value, market conditions, borrower strength and collateral value.


Commercial Loans. The Bank makes commercial loans to qualified businesses in its market area. Commercial lending consists primarily of commercial and industrial loans to finance accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment. Commercial business loans generally have a higher degree of risk than residential mortgage loans, but have commensurately higher yields. Residential mortgage loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his employment and other income and are secured by real estate whose value tends to be easily ascertainable. In contrast, commercial business loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from cash flow from its business and are secured by business assets, such as commercial real estate, accounts receivable, equipment and inventory. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself.


Further, the collateral for commercial business loans may depreciate over time and cannot be appraised with as much precision as residential real estate. To manage these risks, underwriting guidelines are required to secure commercial loans with both the assets of the borrowing business and other additional collateral and guarantees that may be available. In addition, certain measures of the borrower are actively monitored, including advance rate, cash flow, collateral value and other appropriate credit factors.


Residential Mortgage Loans. The Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio consists of residential first and second mortgage loans, residential construction loans and home equity lines of credit and term loans secured by first and second mortgages on the residences of borrowers for home improvements, education and other personal expenditures. Loans are made with a variety of terms, including fixed and floating or variable rates and a variety of maturities.


5



Under current underwriting guidelines, residential mortgage loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his/her employment and other income and are secured by real estate whose value tends to be readily ascertainable. These loans are made consistent with the Bank’s appraisal policies and real estate lending policies, which detail maximum loan-to-value ratios and maturities. Loans for owner-occupied property are generally made with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 85% for first liens. Higher loan-to-value ratios are allowed based on the borrower’s unusually strong general liquidity, net worth and cash flow. Loan-to-value ratios for home equity lines of credit generally do not exceed 90%.


Construction Loans. Construction lending entails significant additional risks, compared to residential mortgage lending. Construction loans often involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Construction loans also involve additional risks attributable to the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the security of property under construction, which is of uncertain value prior to the completion of construction. Maturities for construction loans generally range from 4 to 12 months for residential property and from 6 to 18 months for non-residential and multi-family properties. Thus, it is more difficult to evaluate accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project and related loan-to-value ratios. To minimize the risks associated with construction lending, underwriting guidelines limit loan-to-value ratios for residential property to 85% and for non-residential property and multi-family properties to 80%, in addition to its usual credit analysis of its borrowers. Loan-to-value ratios described above are sufficient to compensate for fluctuations in the real estate market in order to minimize the risk of loss.


Consumer Loans. The Bank’s consumer loans consist primarily of installment loans to individuals for personal, family and household purposes. The specific types of consumer loans that the Bank makes include home improvement loans, debt consolidation loans and general consumer lending. Consumer loans entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans do, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured, such as lines of credit, or secured by rapidly depreciable assets such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. The remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans. Such loans may also give rise to claims and defenses by a consumer loan borrower against an assignee of such loan such as the bank, and a borrower may be able to assert against such assignee claims and defenses that it has against the seller of the underlying collateral.


The Bank’s underwriting policy for consumer loans is to accept moderate risk while minimizing losses, primarily through a careful analysis of the borrower. In evaluating consumer loans, lending officers are required to review the borrower’s level and stability of income, past credit history and the impact of these factors on the ability of the borrower to repay the loan in a timely manner. In addition, an appropriate margin between the loan amount and collateral value is maintained.


Supervision and Regulation


General


As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the examination and reporting requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As a state-chartered commercial bank, the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Virginia State Corporation Commission’s Bureau of Financial Institutions. It is also subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Board. Other federal and state laws, including various consumer and compliance laws, govern the activities of the Bank, the investments that it makes and the aggregate amount of loans that it may grant to one borrower.


The following description summarizes the significant federal and state laws applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries. To the extent that statutory or regulatory provisions are described, the description is qualified in its entirety by reference to that particular statutory or regulatory provision


The Bank Holding Company Act


Under the Bank Holding Company Act, the Company is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve and required to file periodic reports regarding its operations and any additional information that the Federal Reserve may require. Activities at the bank holding company level are limited to:


·

banking, managing or controlling banks;

·

furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries; and

·

engaging in other activities that the Federal Reserve has determined by regulation or order to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to these activities.


6



 

Some of the activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined by regulation to be closely related to the business of a bank holding company include making or servicing loans and specific types of leases, performing specific data processing services and acting in some circumstances as a fiduciary or investment or financial adviser.


With some limited exceptions, the Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before:


·

acquiring substantially all the assets of any bank;

·

acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if after such acquisition it would own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares); or

·

merging or consolidating with another bank holding company.


In addition, and subject to some exceptions, the Bank Holding Company Act and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with their regulations, require Federal Reserve approval prior to any person or company acquiring “control” of a bank holding company. Control is conclusively presumed to exist if an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting securities of the bank holding company. Control is reputably presumed to exist if a person acquires 10% or more, but less than 25%, of any class of voting securities and either the institution has registered securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or no other person owns a greater percentage of that class of voting securities immediately after the transaction. The regulations provide a procedure for challenging this rebuttable control presumption.


In November 1999, Congress enacted the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which made substantial revisions to the statutory restrictions separating banking activities from other financial activities. Under the GLBA, bank holding companies that are well-capitalized and well-managed and meet other conditions can elect to become “financial holding companies.”  As financial holding companies, they and their subsidiaries are permitted to acquire or engage in previously impermissible activities such as insurance underwriting, securities underwriting and distribution, travel agency activities, insurance agency activities, merchant banking and other activities that the Federal Reserve determines to be financial in nature or complementary to these activities. Financial holding companies continue to be subject to the overall oversight and supervision of the Federal Reserve, but the GLBA applies the concept of functional regulation to the activities conducted by subsidiaries. For example, insurance activities would be subject to supervision and regulation by state insurance authorities. Although the Company has not elected to become a financial holding company in order to exercise the broader activity powers provided by the GLBA, the Company may elect to do so in the future.


Payment of Dividends


The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its banking subsidiary. The majority of the Company’s revenues are from dividends paid to the Company by its subsidiary. The Bank is subject to laws and regulations that limit the amount of dividends it can pay. In addition, both the Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory restrictions relating to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain capital at or above regulatory minimums. Banking regulators have indicated that banking organizations should generally pay dividends only if the organization’s net income available to common shareholders over the past year has been sufficient to fully fund the dividends and the prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. The Company does not expect that any of these laws, regulations or policies will materially affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends. During the year ended December 31, 2005 the Company declared $1,489,000 in dividends payable to shareholders.


The FDIC has the general authority to limit the dividends paid by insured banks if the payment is deemed an unsafe and unsound practice. The FDIC has indicated that paying dividends that deplete a bank’s capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsound and unsafe banking practice.


Insurance of Deposit Accounts, Assessments and Regulation by the FDIC


The deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC up to the limits set forth under applicable law. The deposits of the Bank subsidiary are subject to the deposit insurance assessments of the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”) of the FDIC.


The FDIC has implemented a risk-based deposit insurance assessment system under which the assessment rate for an insured institution may vary according to regulatory capital levels of the institution and other factors, including supervisory evaluations. In addition, the FDIC has authority to impose special assessments from time to time.


7



 

The FDIC is authorized to prohibit any BIF-insured institution from engaging in any activity that the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious threat to the respective insurance fund. Also, the FDIC may initiate enforcement actions against banks, after first giving the institution’s primary regulatory authority an opportunity to take such action. The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any depository institution if it determines, after a hearing, that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed in writing by the FDIC. It also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital. If deposit insurance is terminated, the deposits at the institution at the time of termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a period from six months to two years, as determined by the FDIC. The Company is not aware of any existing circumstances that could result in termination of any of the Bank’s deposit insurance.


Capital Requirements


The Federal Reserve Board has issued risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to banking organizations that it supervises. Under the risk-based capital requirements, the Company and the Bank are each generally required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) of 8%. At least half of the total capital must be composed of “Tier 1 Capital”, which is defined as common equity, retained earnings, qualifying perpetual preferred stock, and minority interest in common equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries less certain intangibles. The remainder may consist of “Tier 2 Capital”, which is defined as specific subordinated debt, some hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying preferred stock, a limited amount of the loan loss allowance and pretax unrealized holding gains on certain equity securities. In addition, each of the federal banking regulatory agencies has established minimum leverage capital requirements for banking organizations. Under these requirements, banking organizations must maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average quarterly assets equal to 3% to 5%, subject to federal bank regulatory evaluation of an organization’s overall safety and soundness. In sum, the capital measures used by the federal banking regulators are:


·

the Total Capital ratio, which is the total of Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital;


·

the Tier 1 Capital ratio; and


·

the leverage ratio.


Under these regulations, a bank will be:


·

“well capitalized” if it has a Total Capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of 6% or greater, a leverage ratio of 5% or greater, and is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive by a federal bank regulatory agency to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure;


·

“adequately capitalized” if it has a Total Capital ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of 4% or greater, and a leverage ratio of 4% or greater – or 3% in certain circumstances – and is not well capitalized;


·

“undercapitalized” if it has a Total Capital ratio of less than 8% or greater, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of less than 4% - or 3% in certain circumstances, or a leverage ratio of less than 4%;


·

“significantly undercapitalized” if it has a Total Capital ratio of less than 6%, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of less than 3%, or a leverage ratio of less than 3%; or


·

“critically undercapitalized” if its tangible equity is equal to or less than 2% of average quarterly tangible assets.


The risk-based capital standards of the Federal Reserve Board explicitly identify concentrations of credit risk and the risk arising from non-traditional activities, as well as an institution’s ability to manage these risks, as important factors to be taken into account by the agency in assessing an institution’s overall capital adequacy. The capital guidelines also provide that an institution’s exposure to a decline in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates be considered by the agency as a factor in evaluating a banking organization’s capital adequacy.


8



 

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


Other Safety and Soundness Regulations


There are a number of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries by federal law and regulatory policy that are designed to reduce potential loss exposure to the depositors of such depository institutions and to the FDIC insurance funds in the event that the depository institution is insolvent or is in danger of becoming insolvent. For example, under the requirements of the Federal Reserve Board with respect to bank holding company operations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might not do so otherwise. In addition, the “cross-guarantee” provisions of federal law require insured depository institutions under common control to reimburse the FDIC for any loss suffered or reasonably anticipated by the FDIC as a result of the insolvency of commonly controlled insured depository institutions or for any assistance provided by the FDIC to commonly controlled insured depository institutions in danger of failure. The FDIC may decline to enforce the cross-guarantee provision if it determines that a waiver is in the best interests of the deposit insurance funds. The FDIC’s claim for reimbursement under the cross guarantee provisions is superior to claims of shareholders of the insured depository institution or its holding company but is subordinate to claims of depositors, secured creditors and nonaffiliated holders of subordinated debt of the commonly controlled insured depository institutions.


Interstate Banking and Branching


Current federal law authorizes interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies without geographic limitation. Effective June 1, 1997, a bank headquartered in one state is authorized to merge with a bank headquartered in another state, as long as neither of the states had opted out of such interstate merger authority prior to such date. After a bank has established branches in a state through an interstate merger transaction, the bank may establish and acquire additional branches at any location in the state where a bank headquartered in that state could have established or acquired branches under applicable federal or state law.


Monetary Policy


The commercial banking business is affected not only by general economic conditions but also by the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board. The instruments of monetary policy employed by the Federal Reserve Board include open market operations in United States government securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowing and changes in reserve requirements against deposits held by all federally insured banks. The Federal Reserve Board’s monetary policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. In view of changing conditions in the national and international economy and in the money markets, as well as the effect of actions by monetary fiscal authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board, no prediction can be made as to possible future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand or the business and earnings of the Bank.


Federal Reserve System


In 1980, Congress enacted legislation that imposed reserve requirements on all depository institutions that maintain transaction accounts or nonpersonal time deposits. NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts and other types of accounts that permit payments or transfers to third parties fall within the definition of transaction accounts and are subject to these reserve requirements, as are any nonpersonal time deposits at an institution.


These percentages are subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve Board. Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or in a non-interest-bearing account at, or on behalf of, a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of the reserve requirement is to reduce the amount of the institution’s interest-earning assets.

Transactions with Affiliates


Transactions between banks and their affiliates are governed by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. An affiliate of a bank is any bank or entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such bank. Generally, Sections 23A and 23B (i) limit the extent to which the Bank or its subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such institution’s capital stock and surplus, and maintain an aggregate limit on all such transactions with affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such capital stock and surplus, and (ii) require that all such transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the association or subsidiary as those provided to a nonaffiliate. The term “covered transaction” includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of a guarantee and similar other types of transactions.


Loans to Insiders


The Federal Reserve Act and related regulations impose specific restrictions on loans to directors, executive officers and principal shareholders of banks. Under Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act, loans to a director, an executive officer and to a principal shareholder of a bank, and some affiliated entities of any of the foregoing, may not exceed, together with all other outstanding loans to such person and affiliated entities, the bank’s loan-to-one borrower limit. Loans in the aggregate to insiders and their related interests as a class may not exceed two times the bank’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus until the bank’s total assets equal or exceed $100,000,000, at which time the aggregate is limited to the bank’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. Section 22(h) also prohibits loans, above amounts prescribed by the appropriate federal banking agency, to directors, executive officers and principal shareholders of a bank or bank holding company, and their respective affiliates, unless such loan is approved in advance by a majority of the board of directors of the bank with any “interested” director not participating in the voting. The FDIC has prescribed the loan amount, which includes all other outstanding loans to such person, as to which such prior board of director approval is required, as being the greater of $25,000 or 5% of capital and surplus (up to $500,000). Section 22(h) requires that loans to directors, executive officers and principal shareholders be made on terms and underwriting standards substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions to other persons.


Community Reinvestment Act


Under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations, depository institutions have an affirmative obligation to assist in meeting the credit needs of their market areas, including low and moderate-income areas, consistent with safe and sound banking practice. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the adoption by each institution of a Community Reinvestment Act statement for each of its market areas describing the depository institution’s efforts to assist in its community’s credit needs. Depository institutions are periodically examined for compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act and are periodically assigned ratings in this regard. Banking regulators consider a depository institution’s Community Reinvestment Act rating when reviewing applications to establish new branches, undertake new lines of business, and/or acquire part or all of another depository institution. An unsatisfactory rating can significantly delay or even prohibit regulatory approval of a proposed transaction by a bank holding company or its depository institution subsidiaries.


The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and federal bank regulators have made various changes to the Community Reinvestment Act. Among other changes, Community Reinvestment Act agreements with private parties must be disclosed and annual reports must be made to a bank’s primary federal regulator. A bank holding company will not be permitted to become a financial holding company and no new activities authorized under the GLBA may be commenced by a holding company or by a bank financial subsidiary if any of its bank subsidiaries received less than a “satisfactory” rating in its latest Community Reinvestment Act examination.

Fair Lending; Consumer Laws


In addition to the Community Reinvestment Act, other federal and state laws regulate various lending and consumer aspects of the banking business. Governmental agencies, including the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, have become concerned that prospective borrowers experience discrimination in their efforts to obtain loans from depository and other lending institutions. These agencies have brought litigation against depository institutions alleging discrimination against borrowers. Many of these suits have been settled, in some cases for material sums, short of a full trial.


Recently, these governmental agencies have clarified what they consider to be lending discrimination and have specified various factors that they will use to determine the existence of lending discrimination under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act, including evidence that a lender discriminated on a prohibited basis, evidence that a lender treated applicants differently based on prohibited factors in the absence of evidence that the treatment was the result of prejudice or a conscious intention to discriminate, and evidence that a lender applied an otherwise neutral non-discriminatory policy uniformly to all applicants, but the practice had a discriminatory effect, unless the practice could be justified as a business necessity .


Banks and other depository institutions also are subject to numerous consumer-oriented laws and regulations. These laws, which include the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and the Fair Housing Act, require compliance by depository institutions with various disclosure requirements and requirements regulating the availability of funds after deposit or the making of some loans to customers.


Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999


 The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 was signed into law on November 12, 1999. The GLBA covers a broad range of issues, including a repeal of most of the restrictions on affiliations among depository institutions, securities firms and insurance companies. The following description summarizes some of its significant provisions.


The GLBA repeals sections 20 and 32 of the Glass-Steagall Act, thus permitting unrestricted affiliations between banks and securities firms. It also permits bank holding companies to elect to become financial holding companies. A financial holding company may engage in or acquire companies that engage in a broad range of financial services, including securities activities such as underwriting, dealing, investment, merchant banking, insurance underwriting, sales and brokerage activities. In order to become a financial holding company, the bank holding company and all of its affiliated depository institutions must be well-capitalized, well-managed and have at least a satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act rating.


The GLBA provides that the states continue to have the authority to regulate insurance activities, but prohibits the states in most instances from preventing or significantly interfering with the ability of a bank, directly or through an affiliate, to engage in insurance sales, solicitations or cross-marketing activities. Although the states generally must regulate bank insurance activities in a nondiscriminatory manner, the states may continue to adopt and enforce rules that specifically regulate bank insurance activities in specific areas identified under the law. Under the new law, the federal bank regulatory agencies adopted insurance consumer protection regulations that apply to sales practices, solicitations, advertising and disclosures.


11



 

The GLBA adopts a system of functional regulation under which the Federal Reserve Board is designated as the umbrella regulator for financial holding companies, but financial holding company affiliates are principally regulated by functional regulators such as the FDIC for state nonmember bank affiliates, the Securities and Exchange Commission for securities affiliates, and state insurance regulators for insurance affiliates. It repeals the broad exemption of banks from the definitions of “broker” and “dealer” for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. It also identifies a set of specific activities, including traditional bank trust and fiduciary activities, in which a bank may engage without being deemed a “broker,” and a set of activities in which a bank may engage without being deemed a “dealer.”  Additionally, the GLBA makes conforming changes in the definitions of “broker” and “dealer” for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.


The GLBA contains extensive customer privacy protection provisions. Under these provisions, a financial institution must provide to its customers, both at the inception of the customer relationship and on an annual basis, the institution’s policies and procedures regarding the handling of customers’ nonpublic personal financial information. The law provides that, except for specific limited exceptions, an institution may not provide such personal information to unaffiliated third parties unless the institution discloses to the customer that such information may be so provided and the customer is given the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure. An institution may not disclose to a non-affiliated third party, other than to a consumer reporting agency, customer account numbers or other similar account identifiers for marketing purposes. The GLBA also provides that the states may adopt customer privacy protections that are more strict than those contained in the act.


Bank Secrecy Act


The GLBA and the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) contain comprehensive customer privacy protection provisions. Under these provisions, a financial institution is required to provide to its customers, at the inception of the customer relationship and annually thereafter, the Company’s policies and procedures concerning the handling of customers’ nonpublic personal financial information. The BSA provides that, except for limited exceptions, the Company may not provide such personal information to unaffiliated third parties unless that Company discloses to its customer that such information may be so provided and the customer is given the opportunity to “opt out” of such disclosure. The Company may not disclose to a non-affiliated third party, other than to a consumer reporting agency, customer account numbers or other similar account identifiers for marketing purposes. The BSA also makes it a criminal offense to obtain or attempt to obtain customer information of a financial nature by fraudulent or deceptive means, except in limited circumstances.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002


In response to the significant decline in investor confidence in the capital market after corporate scandals and business failures, Congress enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which has developed the acronym known as SOX. The Act is intended to restore or maintain investor confidence by significantly expanding the rules for corporate governance, improving the oversight of auditors of public companies, and focusing the attention of companies and auditors on the effectiveness of internal controls. The stated objective of this Act is “to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures made pursuant to the securities law.”


Among the major areas that the Act addresses are Audit Committees needing to pre-approve services provided by external auditors, the rotation of audit partners of public accounting firms who are assigned to a particular engagement, the independence requirements of Audit Committee members, an oversight board which will perform quality control reviews of the audit work performed by public accounting firms, “whistleblower” provisions to encourage company employees to address concerns directly to the Audit Committee without fear of potential termination by management, and quarterly certifications of a company’s filings with the SEC must be made by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.


Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires management of public companies to design and implement a system of internal controls over financial reporting, and annually to assess and report on the effectiveness of these controls. In addition, the Act requires the company’s independent auditors to perform an audit of internal controls over financial reporting and to issue an opinion on not only management’s assessment but also on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. These attestation requirements become a part of the company’s annual financial reporting that is known as Form 10-K filing. The Act required companies with a market capitalization of at least $75 million or more to begin filing, under the Section 404 requirements, for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2004. These companies became known as the “Accelerated Filers”. The Company is a non-accelerated filer and, according to the latest Security and Exchange Commission’s regulatory compliance schedule, will be required to comply with the Section 404 reporting requirements for the fiscal year ending on or after July 15, 2007, or December 31, 2007.


Future Regulatory Uncertainty


Because federal regulation of financial institutions changes regularly and is the subject of constant legislative debate, the Company cannot forecast how federal regulation of financial institutions may change in the future and the potential impact to its operations. Although Congress in recent years has sought to reduce the regulatory burden on financial institutions with respect to the approval of specific transactions, the Company fully expects that the financial institution industry will remain heavily regulated in the near future and that additional laws or regulations may be adopted further regulating specific banking practices.

ITEM 1A.

 RISK FACTORS


An investment in our common stock involves risks and you should not invest in our common stock unless you can afford to lose some or all of your investment. These risk factors may adversely affect our financial conditions and future earnings. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or a part of your investment. You should read this section together with the other information, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements.


Our future success is dependent on our ability to compete effectively in the highly competitive banking industry.


The Company and the Bank faces vigorous competition from other banks and other financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, savings banks, finance companies and credit unions for deposits, loans, and other financial services in our market area. Many of these banks and other financial institutions are significantly larger than we are and have greater access to capital and other resources, as well as larger lending limits and branch systems, and offer a wider array of banking services. To a limited extent, we also compete with other providers of financial services, such as money market mutual funds, brokerage firms, consumer finance companies, insurance companies and governmental organizations which may offer more favorable financing than we can. Many of our non-bank competitors have advantages over us in providing certain services. This competition may reduce or limit our margins and our market share and may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.


We may be adversely affected by economic conditions in our market area.


The Company and the Bank are headquartered in the Town of Blackstone, which is part of Nottoway County, in Virginia. Our market includes the counties of Amelia, Nottoway, Prince Edward, Chesterfield and the City of Colonial Heights, all located in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Because our lending is concentrated in this market, we will be affected by the general economic conditions in this market. Changes in the suburban and rural markets we serve may influence the growth rate of our loans and deposits, the quality of the loan portfolio and the loan and deposit pricing that we may obtain. Significant decline in general economic conditions caused by inflation, recession, unemployment or other factors beyond our control would impact these local economic conditions and the demand for banking products and services generally, which could negatively affect our financial condition and performance.


We rely heavily on our management team and the services of key personnel.


The Company and the Bank is a customer-focused, relationship-driven, and community-oriented financial services organization. The Company expects our future growth to be driven in a large part by the relationships maintained with our customers by Joseph D. Borgerding, President and Chief Executive Officer, and our other executive management team, and our lending officers. Neither the Company nor the Bank has employment agreements with Mr. Borgerding, executive management or our lending officers. The unexpected loss of Mr. Borgerding or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business and possibly result in reduced revenues and earnings. The Bank has invested in bank-owned life insurance that covers Mr. Borgerding and certain other members of executive management and the lending officers, but not all.


The business strategy will require us to continue to attract, hire, motivate and retain skilled personnel to develop new customer relationships as well as new financial products and services. Many experienced banking professionals employed by our competitors are covered by agreements not to compete or solicit their existing customers if they were to leave their current employment. These agreements make the recruitment of these professionals more difficult. The market for these people is competitive, and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting, hiring, motivating or retaining them.   


Our need to comply with extensive and complex government regulation could have an adverse effect on our business.


The banking industry is subject to extensive regulation by state and federal banking authorities. Many of the banking regulations we are governed by are intended to protect depositors, the public or the insurance funds maintained by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, not shareholders. Recently enacted, proposed and future banking legislation and regulations have had, and will continue to have, or may have a significant impact on the financial services industry. Banking regulations affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy and many other aspects of our business. These requirements may constrain our rate of growth and our earnings. The burden imposed by these federal and state regulations may place banks in general, and specifically Citizens Bancorp of Virginia and Citizens Bank & Trust Company, at a competitive disadvantage compared to less regulated competitors. In addition, the cost of compliance with regulatory requirements could adversely affect our earnings.


14




In addition, because federal regulation of financial institutions changes regularly and is the subject of constant legislative debate, we cannot forecast how federal regulation of financial institutions my change in the future nor the impact those changes may have on our operations. Although Congress in recent years has sought to reduce the regulatory burden on financial institutions with respect to the approval of specific transactions, we fully expect that the financial institution industry will remain heavily regulated in the near future and that additional laws or regulations may be adopted further regulating specific banking practices.


The cost of being a public company is proportionately higher for small companies like us due to the requirement of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.


The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission have increased the scope, complexity, and cost of corporate governance, reporting and disclosure practices. These regulations are applicable to our company. We expect to experience increasing compliance costs, including costs related to internal controls and the requirement that our auditors attest to and report on management’s assessment of our internal controls, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The regulations are expected to be applicable to us for the year-ending December 31, 2007. These necessary costs are proportionately higher for a company of our size and will affect our profitability more than that of some of our larger competitors.


Our operations depend upon third party vendors that perform services for us.


The Bank outsources many of its operating and banking functions, including key computer systems software, network transmission services, the interchange and transmission services for the ATM network. As such, the Company’s and the Bank’s success and the ability to expand our operations depend on the services provided by these third parties. Disputes with these third parties can adversely affect the operations. The Bank may not be able to engage appropriate vendors, in a timely manner, to replace any vendors that are unable to perform with new vendors capable of servicing our needs.


Our profitability depends on our ability to manage our balance sheet to minimize the effects of interest rate fluctuation on our net interest margin.


Our results of operations depend on the stability of our net interest margin, which is the difference in the yield we earn on our earning assets and our cost of funds, both of which are influenced by interest rate fluctuations. Interest rates, because they are influenced by among other things, expectations about future events, including the level of economic activity, federal monetary and fiscal policy and geo-political stability, are not predictable or controllable. In addition, the interest rates we can earn on our loan and investment portfolios and the interest rates we pay on our deposits are heavily influenced by competitive factors. Community banks are often at a competitive disadvantage in managing their cost of funds compared to the large regional, super-regional or national banks that have access to the national and international capital markets. These factors influence our ability to maintain a stable net interest margin. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2005, our net interest margin was 4.10% and 4.11%, respectively, which is in line with peer banks.


We seek to maintain a neutral position in terms of the volume of assets and liabilities that mature or re-price during any period so that we may reasonably predict our net interest margin; however, interest rate fluctuations, loan prepayments, loan production and deposit flows are constantly changing and influence our ability to maintain this neutral position. The greater the amount of maturities or re-pricing that occurs in any given period to either the earning assets or the deposit liabilities will result in a greater sensitivity to fluctuating interest rates. Customer preferences for certain loan types, fixed-rate versus adjustable-rate, and preferences towards deposit products that may or may not be interest bearing, and savings versus time deposits all contribute to potentially impacting the interest margin; either favorably or unfavorably. Although management is unable to control these preferences, there are pro cesses that assist in monitoring and planning for such changes in customer preferences. At December 31, 2005, the Company’s balance sheet was positioned to be asset-sensitive for the next 12 months, which means increases in interest rates should have a net favorable effect on the interest margin. In the longer term, the balance sheet becomes more liability sensitive and declines in interest rates, in the longer term, will have a favorable impact on the interest rate margin. However, changes in interest rates that are contrary to these expectations, could negatively impact the interest margin and ultimately earnings.


15




Any additional credit losses or deterioration in credit quality could negatively impact our financial results.


Management seeks to maintain a loan portfolio that is well diversified in terms of risk and credit quality. As of December 31, 2005, the portfolio consisted of the following loan categories: residential (1-to-4 family) loans 41.0%, commercial real estate and construction loans 32.0%, commercial loans 11.9%, consumer loans 8.9%, and home equity loans 6.2%. Our lending focus has generally favored real estate-secured loans over unsecured loans, as a means of mitigating possible losses due to credit losses. A major change in the real estate market, such as a deterioration in the value of collateral, or in the local or national economy, could adversely affect our customers’ ability to pay these loans, which in turn could impact us. Risk of loan defaults and foreclosures are unavoidable in the banking industry, and we try to limit our exposure to this risk by monitoring our extensions of credit carefully. We cannot fully eliminate credit risk, and as a result credit losses may occur in the future.

The Company’s future dividend policy is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on a number of factors including future earnings, liquidity, capital requirements and regulatory requirements. The Company believes its liquidity and capital resources are more than adequate to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable future. (See Item I – Supervision and Regulation for further discussion on dividends.)


Purchases of Equity Securities


On April 21, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan of up to 122,400 shares of the Company’s common stock. At a meeting on August 17, 2005, the Board of Directors voted to terminate the stock repurchase plan.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION


Management’s discussion and analysis is intended to assist the reader in evaluating and understanding the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The following discussion provides information about the major components of the results of operations and financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of the Company.


The Company conducts the general business of a commercial bank, offering traditional lending and deposit products to business and individuals. Revenue is generated primarily from interest income received on loans, investments combined with fee income and other miscellaneous sources. This income is primarily offset by interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds, provision for loan losses and other noninterest expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense and other miscellaneous expenses.


Forward Looking Statements


The Company makes forward looking statements in this annual report that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward looking statements include statements regarding profitability, liquidity, allowance for loan losses, interest rate sensitivity, market risk, growth strategy, and financial and other goals. The words “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or other similar words or terms are intended to identify forward looking statements.


These forward looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties because they are based upon or are affected by factors including:


·

the ability to successfully manage growth or to implement growth strategies if unable to identify attractive markets, locations or opportunities to expand in the future;

·

maintaining capital levels adequate to support growth;

·

maintaining cost controls and asset qualities as new branches are opened or acquired;

·

reliance on management team, including ability to attract and retain key personnel;

·

the successful management of interest rate risk;

·

changes in general economic and business conditions in market area;

·

changes in interest rates and interest rate policies;

·

risks inherent in making loans such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values;

·

competition with other banks and financial institutions, and companies outside of the banking industry, including those companies that have substantially greater access to capital and other resources;

·

demand, development and acceptance of new products and services;

·

problems with technology utilized by the Company;

·

changing trends in customer profiles and behavior; and

·

changes in banking and other laws and regulations.


Because of these uncertainties, actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward looking statements. In addition, past results of operations do not necessarily indicate future results.


Critical Accounting Policies


The  financial  condition  and results of  operations  presented in the Consolidated Financial  Statements,  accompanying  Notes  to  the  Consolidated Financial  Statements and  management's  discussion and analysis are, to a large degree,   dependent  upon  the  accounting  policies  of the Company. The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.


Presented below is a discussion of those accounting policies that management believes are the most important (Critical Accounting Policies) to the portrayal and understanding of the Company's financial condition and results of operations.  These Critical Accounting Policies require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail,  and depending  upon the severity of such changes,  the  possibility of materially   different  financial  condition  or  results  of  operations  is  a reasonable  likelihood. See also Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements for a summary of significant accounting policies.


20



 

Allowance for Loan Losses


 

The Company monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. The Company maintains policies and procedures that address the systems of controls  over  the  following  areas  of  maintenance  of  the  allowance:  the systematic  methodology used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance to  provide  assurance they are  maintained  in  accordance  with  accounting principles  generally  accepted in the United States of America;  the accounting policies for loan charge-offs and recoveries;  the assessment and measurement of impairment in the loan and lease portfolio; and the loan grading system.


The Company evaluates various loans individually for impairment as required by Statement of Financial   Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures. Loans evaluated individually for impairment include non-performing loans, such as loans on non-accrual, loans past due by 90 days or more, restructured loans and other loans selected by management. The evaluations are based upon discounted expected cash flows or collateral valuations. If the evaluation shows that a loan is individually impaired, then a specific reserve is established for the amount of impairment. If a loan evaluated individually is not impaired, then the loan is assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, with a group of loans that have similar characteristics.


For loans without individual measures of impairment, the Company makes estimates of losses for groups of loans as required by SFAS No. 5. Loans are grouped by similar characteristics, including the type of loan, the assigned loan grade and the general collateral type. A loss rate  reflecting  the  expected  loss inherent in a group of loans is derived  based upon  estimates of default  rates for a given loan grade,  the  predominant  collateral type for the group and the terms of the loan. The  resulting  estimate  of losses  for groups of loans are adjusted  for  relevant  environmental  factors  and  other  conditions  of  the portfolio of loans and leases, including:  borrower and industry concentrations; levels and  trends in delinquencies,  charge-offs  and  recoveries;  changes in underwriting  standards and risk  selection;  level of  experience,  ability and depth of lending management; and national and local economic conditions.


The amount of estimated impairment for individually evaluated loans and groups of loans is added together for a total estimate of loans and lease losses. This estimate of losses is compared to the allowance for loan and lease losses of the Bank as of the evaluation date and, if the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be made. If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the estimate is evaluated to determine whether the allowance falls outside a range of estimates. If the estimate of losses is below the range of reasonable estimates, the allowance would be reduced by way of a credit to the provision for loan losses. The Bank recognizes the inherent imprecision in estimates of losses due to various  uncertainties and variability related to the  factors  used,  and  therefore  a  reasonable  range  around the estimate of losses is derived and used to ascertain whether the allowance is too high. If  different  assumptions  or  conditions  were  to  prevail  and  it is determined  that the  allowance  is not  adequate to absorb the new  estimate of probable  losses,  an additional  provision for loan losses would be made, which amount may be material to the Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2005, Management believes that the Allowance for Loan Losses is appropriate for the expected loss in the loan portfolio as of that date.

Executive Overview


Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. reported net income of $3,103,000 in 2005, an increase of 25.42% or $629,000 from 2004 net income of $2,474,000. Net income on a per share basis was reported as $1.27 and $1.01 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Company core earnings during 2005 were favorably impacted by higher short term interest rates, despite average total assets remaining relatively unchanged, from 2004 and an emphasis on expense management. In April 2005, the Company opened its tenth banking office, its first in the City of Colonial Heights. At year-end this office had grown to $4.3 million in loans and deposits. In September the Board of Directors completed the new management team by appointing Joseph D. Borgerding as Director, President and Chief Executive Officer of both the Company and of the Bank, previous to the appointment, Mr. Borgerding served as the Acting Chief Executive Officer and Senior Lending Officer for the Bank.

Summary


Total assets decreased $7.9 million during 2005 from $281.0 million in 2004 to $273.1 million. Loans increased $2.1 million from $198.2 million at December 31, 2004 to $200.3 million at December 31, 2005. Average loan balances for 2005 were $12.2 million greater than the average loan balances for 2004. Funding for loan growth during 2005 came primarily from reallocating available liquidity from overnight Federal Funds and investment securities to the loan portfolio. Total deposits were $233.3 million at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $12.4 million or 5.1% compared to $245.7 million at the end of 2004. The majority of the decline in deposit account balances was the deliberate act of not renewing certain maturing certificates of deposits that were from public funds. Current management changed the previous management’s funding scheme away from high costing, volatile public funds towards a funding strategy that is focused on low-cost, relationship-based deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.


Stockholders' equity increased by $1,006,000 during 2005, predominantly due to earnings, net of paying $1,489,000 in cash dividends and adjustments for unrealized losses of available for sale securities. Book value per share increased to $13.71 at December 31, 2005, from $13.30 at December 31, 2004.


22



 

The Company’s return on average assets (ROAA) for 2005 was 1.13% compared to .90% in for 2004 while the return on average equity (ROAE) was 9.33% for 2005 compared to 7.59% in 2004. The Company experienced growth in its core earnings in 2005 as  net interest income increased 5.38% and noninterest income increased 3.08% offset by an increase in noninterest expense of .90%.  This means that the Company realized an increase in pre-tax income of 13.47%; exclusive of the loan loss provision. The Company’s improved core earnings are primarily the result of its strategies to improve the net interest margin by improving earning asset yields, and focus on increasing low-cost deposits as a percentage of total deposit balances. The Bank continued slow growth in noninterest income and controlled operating expenses.

Net Interest Income


Net interest income, the amount by which interest income on interest earning assets exceeds interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, is the most significant component of the Company’s earnings. Net interest income is the function of several factors consisting of changes in the volume and composition (mix) of interest earning assets, funding sources, and market interest rates. While management’s policies influence these factors, external forces such as customer needs and demands, competition and economic and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board are also contributing forces.    


The following two tables provide information needed to understand the impact on net interest income as it relates not only to changes in mix but also as it is impacted by the combination of changes in rate and volume. As illustrated in the tables below, net interest income increased $529,000 in 2005 which resulted in an increase in the net interest margin from 3.92% in 2004 to 4.11% in 2005. The Company realized this increase in interest income due primarily from loan yields rising faster than interest costing deposit rates. The net increase in interest income was offset by an increase of $593,000 in interest expense due to increased rates on interest bearing liabilities as well as a increase of $32,000 in interest expense due to a increase in volume, resulting in an overall increase in net interest income of $529,000 in 2005. The following extraction from the rate and volume analysis demonstrates the net effects of the changes in net interest income from the rate and volume table:

Net increase in interest expense on interest bearing liabilities

$  625,000

The increase in volume on interest earning assets is primarily the result of the Company’s efforts in its strategic plan to build and realign its loan portfolio. The increase due to rate changes in interest bearing liabilities is primarily the result of higher short-term interest rates, while the Company’s efforts are to realign its deposit base by increasing transactional and low cost deposits while not retaining high-cost, public funds time deposits.

Noninterest Income


The Company’s noninterest income increased 3.1% to $2.1 million in 2005 compared to $2.0 million in 2004 which is an increase of $62 thousand. When noninterest income is viewed exclusive of net gains on sales of securities, loan sales, and sale of OREO assets, the result indicates an increase of $154 thousand in 2005 as compared to 2004, or an increase of 8.3%. Expanding customer demand deposit relationships and an increased number of automated teller machines are the primary reasons for the increase in noninterest income during 2005. The banking industry’s ability to charge service fees continues to erode. In response to this trend, the Bank is participating in areas that will produce ancillary revenues such as investment products, title insurance partnerships, and selling residential loans to the secondary market.

Noninterest Expense


The Company’s noninterest expense increased .90% to $8.1 million in 2005 from $8.0 million in 2004. A number of factors contributed to the Company’s ability to maintain noninterest expenses nearly the same levels as 2004. Among the factors was the restructuring of senior management personnel that began in the later part of 2004 which produced savings during 2005, reductions in legal and consulting fees in 2005 as compared to 2004 as a result of concluded litigation, and the conclusion of certain asset write-offs at the end of 2004. The opening of the Colonial Heights, Virginia branch in April 2005 and the full year operation of the Chesterfield, Virginia branch were contributors to higher costs along with incentive compensation and pension costs, a full year of internet banking services, higher liability insurance premiums, and costs associated with the implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Provision for Income Taxes


Income before income taxes includes both taxable income and tax-exempt income, including interest on municipal securities and bank-owned life insurance.  The effective income tax rate, based on income before taxes is, therefore, lower than the statutory income tax rate of 34%.  The effective income tax rate increased to 25.5% in 2005 from 21.4% in 2004 and from 22.9% in 2003.  Income taxes for 2005 increased to $1,060,000 from $675,000 in 2004 and $751,000 in 2003 as a result of higher pre-tax net earnings and a decline in tax-exempt investments and loans as a percentage of the total.


Loans


The Company uses the funds generated from deposits combined with investment sales to support its lending activities and competes aggressively for loans in its market areas. As a result, the volume of loans increased 1.07% or $2.1 million in 2005. (The Bank has no foreign loans.)


Loans are made predominantly to residents of the Company’s trade area. Approximately 79% of the loan portfolio on December 31, 2005 was composed of real estate secured loans.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at levels that management feels is adequate after considering portfolio and economic conditions, delinquency trends, past loan loss experience, the volume of loans, as well as other factors deserving recognition. After considering these factors, the allowance for loan losses was set at $1.9 million at year end 2005. This compares to an allowance of $2.7 million at year end 2004. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Bank provided addition provision to the Allowance for Loan Losses due to the deterioration of two commercial credits that were charged-off in April 2005. On December 31, 2005, the allowance was .98% of total loans down from 1.38% one year earlier. The provision for loan losses charged against income in 2005 was $208,000 compared to $703,000 in 2004, an decrease of $495,000.


The following table shows the allocation of the allowance for loan losses at the dates indicated. The allocation of portions of the allowance to specific categories of loans is not intended to be indicative of future losses, and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any category of loans.

Loan portfolio risks are monitored by management. A credit review of outstanding loans and loan collateral is performed by management in order to identify potential losses.  Non-accrual and impaired loans were $1,695,000 and $2,189,000 at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. It is the Company’s policy to put loans on a non-accrual basis once they are past due 90 days or more unless they are well secured and in the process of collection.


At year end 2005, management was monitoring loans considered to be impaired (under Statement 114) totaling $1,366,000, of which $329,000 are on a non-accrual status. They are followed closely, and management at present believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover anticipated losses that may be attributable to these loans. Various forms of collateral are held as security on the loans.

Criticized Loans are defined by management as loans which may or may not be currently accruing interest, and while they are not classified as impaired loans, management has computed probable loss amounts should the loans not perform as originally agreed. Criticized loan balances at December 31, 2005 and 2004 totaled $2,297,000 and $2,161,000, respectively. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, $195,000 and $242,000, respectively was included in the Allowance for Loan Loss to cover for the possible losses on these loans.


Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) balances represent the lower of cost or appraised value less cost to sell of real estate acquired through foreclosure by the Company. The Company regularly evaluates the carrying value of such assets and adjusts the balances as required. The Company actively markets such properties to reduce potential losses and expenses related to carrying these assets.


In 2005, charge-offs of loans, net of recoveries, were $992,000 compared to $334,000 in 2004, as illustrated in the table below. The following table further summarizes the Company’s loan loss experience for the preceding five years:

Mortgage backed securities in the amount of $9,362,000 are included in the above table based on expected weighted average maturities.


At December 31, 2005 and 2004, investment securities with a book value of $16,130,000 and $11,431,000, respectively, were pledged to collateralize public deposits and for other purposes.


All investment in debt securities are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. By carrying the investment portfolio as available for sale, management has the opportunity to react to changing liquidity needs and market conditions.

Deposits


Total deposits decreased $12.4 million or 5.1% in 2005. During 2005, higher rate time deposits (TDs), mainly from municipal and state deposits, were allowed to mature since management determined that this was in the best interest of the Bank in order to control cost of funds, to improve net interest income and reduce the overall volatility inherent in these deposits. A portion of the decline in deposit balances was attributed to commercial customers who opted to invest in the Bank’s Investment Sweeps product. At December 31, 2005, the balance in this product was $4.5 million or an increase of $3.3 million from December 31, 2004. The balance of this product is classified as short-term borrowings on the Company’s balance sheet. The Bank continues to focus efforts at attracting lower cost deposits and periodically offers promotions that are reliant on the customer having multiple account relationships with the Bank. The average balances and rates paid on deposits for the preceding three years are shown in the table below:

Financial Instruments with Off Balance Sheet Risk


The Company is a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.


The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

Commitments to extend credit

 $       22,804 

 

 $       28,768 

Standby letters of credit

              559 

 

              420 


Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.


Unfunded commitments under commercial lines-of-credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines-of-credit may be secured or unsecured with varied maturities based upon product type, collateral, and credit worthiness of the borrower.


Standby letters-of-credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters-of-credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters-of-credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.


Liquidity


Liquidity assesses the Company’s ability to meet financial obligations consisting of lending commitments, deposit outflows, operational expenses and contingencies that arise during the normal course of business. Liquidity is also defined as the Company’s ability to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of the customers of the Company in addition to meeting current and planned expenditures. The Company’s liquidity is derived primarily from its deposit base and equity capital and is provided through the Company’s cash, balances in correspondent banks, federal funds sold, investments maturing or repaying within one year and securities available for sale. The Company’s growth has continued to be funded primarily through these sources.


As of December 31, 2005, approximately $51.1 million or 26% of the loan portfolio will mature or re-price within one year.  Maturities of investments in the securities portfolio are scheduled to provide a steady flow of funds to meet deposit withdrawals or loan demand. Substantial monthly repayments on loans also provide funds for liquidity demands.  Additionally, a cash reserve is maintained, usually in the form of overnight investments in federal funds.  During 2005, the Company was a seller of Federal funds in daily average amounts of $5.4 million.


Other sources of liquidity available to the Company include its capacity to borrow additional funds when necessary. Federal funds lines of credit are maintained with three correspondent banks however the Company did not have any amount outstanding as of December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has the following lines of credit available:


Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta

$65,500,000

Community Bankers Bank

  11,400,000

SunTrust

    8,000,000

Capital Resources


The Company’s principal source of capital is generated through retained earnings. In 2005, $1,614,000, or 52%, of earnings were retained and added to the capital of the Company.  This percentage of retained earnings is higher than in previous years.


  Capital growth has historically benefited from a conservative dividend policy. In 2005 the dividend payout represented 48.0% of net income. The Company’s current Dividend Policy limits annual dividend payouts to no more than 60% of the net earnings for the trailing four calendar quarters. The ratio of average equity to average assets was 12.07% in 2005, compared to 11.86% in 2004.  Stockholders’ equity was $33,459,107 on December 31, 2005.


The Company’s Tier I Leverage ratio was 12.3%. The Tier I risk-based capital ratio for the Company stood at 18.8% on December 31, 2005 while the Tier II or total risk-based capital ratio was 19.8%.  Both Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios at December 31, 2005 exceeded regulatory risk-based capital requirements by substantial margins and the Company continues to be well capitalized.  


Cash dividends totaling $1,489,000 were declared in 2005 which represents a payout ratio of 48.0% compared to a payout ratio of 70.2% in 2004. During 2004, the Company converted from paying cash dividends on a semi-annual basis to quarterly payments, and the conversion resulted in a higher dividend payout ratio for 2004. It is anticipated that internally generated funds will cover any capital improvements in 2006. The Company believes its liquidity and capital resources are more than adequate to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

Capital Expenditures


Capital expenditures were approximately $400 thousand in 2005 compared to $2.8 million in 2004. The capital expenditures in 2005 were primarily due to the expenditures associated with the opening of the Company’s new branch in 2005 and the Company’s continued initiative to complete the renovations of banking offices. Expenditures in 2004 were primarily due to the Company’s acquisition of a new banking office in Colonial Heights, in addition to the Company’s initiative to remodel all banking offices.


Capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $1.5 million in 2006 which include the conclusion of major banking office renovations, information technology enhancements and routine replacement of furniture and equipment.


Inflation


In financial institutions virtually all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on a bank’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation since interest rate movement is not necessarily affected by inflation.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Market risk is the potential risk to earnings and/or equity value due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions as they relate to the financial industry. The Company’s market risk exposure is primarily its exposure to interest rate risk (IRR). The measuring, monitoring and management of IRR is the responsibility of the Asset Liability Management Committee (the ALCO). The Board of Directors of the Company has delegated responsibility for asset liability management to the ALCO whose main objectives are to manage IRR while optimizing earnings through net interest income and management of the balance sheet. The Company uses a simulation model on a quarterly basis to measure IRR. This model utilizes the Company’s financial data and various management assumptions and projections as they relate to growth, interest rates, noninterest income and noninterest earnings in order to forecast the interest sensitivity of the Company and its potential impact on net interest income, earnings and equity. The model projects a “most likely” forecast which is then “shocked” with various interest rate increases and decreases in order to project the short term effects on net interest income and net income. The model also projects the effects on the net economic value (NEV) of the Company using the same interest rate increases and decreases. The NEV sensitivity measure is a measure of the long-term risk of the bank.


As of December 31, 2005, the Company’s earnings sensitivity analysis indicates that the Company remains slightly asset sensitive in the near term and is exposed to declining earnings if rates fall. This condition is common as asset/liability management dictates the need to be asset sensitive in a rising rate environment that existed in 2005 and is expected to continue into 2006. The Company’s NEV sensitivity analysis indicates that the Company becomes modestly liability sensitive in the long term. Since the earnings model uses numerous assumptions regarding the effect of changes in interest rates on the timing and extent of re-pricing characteristics, future cash flows and customer behavior, the model cannot precisely estimate net income and the effect on net income from sudden changes in interest rates. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

Based on and as of the date of such evaluation, these officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.


The Company also maintains a system of internal accounting controls that is designed to provide assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and properly recorded. This system is continually reviewed and is augmented by written policies and procedures, the careful selection and training of qualified personnel and an internal audit program to monitor its effectiveness. There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM








To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. and Subsidiary

Blackstone, Virginia



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.



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



In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

CITIZENS BANCORP OF VIRGINIA, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARY


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



Note 1.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


On December 10, 2003, the stockholders of Citizens Bank and Trust Company voted in favor of a merger to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc., which became a newly formed one-bank holding company.


Upon consummation of the reorganization effective December 18, 2003, each outstanding common share of Citizens Bank and Trust Company was exchanged for one share of Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. common stock, par value $0.50 per share. The exchange of shares was a tax-free transaction for federal income tax purposes. Financial statements for prior periods are identical to the financial statements of the Bank.


Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Business


The Company conducts the general business of a commercial bank. The Company is chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Company’s primary trade areas are in the Virginia counties of Nottoway, Amelia, Prince Edward, Chesterfield, and Colonial Heights. The Company offers traditional lending and deposit products to businesses and individuals.


Use of Estimates


In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.


The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks and federal funds sold, all of which mature within ninety days.





F-7




Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements




Securities


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


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


Restricted Securities


The Company is required to maintain an investment in the capital stock of certain correspondent banks. No ready market exists for this stock, and it has no quoted market value. The Company’s investment in these stocks is recorded at cost.


Loans Held for Sale


Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Mortgage loans held for sale are sold with the mortgage servicing rights released by the Company.


The Company enters into commitments to originate certain mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loans is determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments). Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and the sale of the loan generally ranges from thirty to ninety days. The Company protects itself from changes in interest rates through the use of best efforts forward delivery commitments, whereby the Company commits to sell a loan at the time the borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the buyer has assumed interest rate risk on the loan. As a result, the Company is not exposed to losses nor will it realize significant gains related to its rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates. The correlation between the rate lock commitments and the best efforts contrac ts is very high due to their similarity. Because of this high correlation, no gain or loss occurs on the rate lock commitments.


Loans


The Company grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans in the Virginia counties of Nottoway, Amelia, Prince Edward, Chesterfield and the City of Colonial Heights. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.


Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.



F-8




Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements





The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Other personal loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.


All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed in a nonaccrual or charged off status are reversed against interest income in the period when the loan’s status changes to nonaccrual or the loan is charged off. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.


Allowance for Loan Losses


The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.


The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable credit losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio, based on an evaluation of the collectibility of existing loans and prior loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. This evaluation does not include the effects of expected losses on specific loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or expected changes in economic conditions. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In ad dition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses, and may require the Company to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.


The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.


A loan is impaired when it is probable, based on current information and events, that the Company will be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured on an individual basis for commercial and construction loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The amount of impairment, if any, and any subsequent changes are included in the allowance for loan losses.


Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements





Premises and Equipment


Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense are computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of the assets range from 3 to 39 years. Major improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.


Foreclosed Assets


Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value at the date of foreclosure, thereby establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.  The Company had $200,000 in foreclosed assets at December 31, 2005 and no foreclosed assets at December 31, 2004.


Income Taxes


Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the balance sheet method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.


Defined Benefit Pension Plan


The Company provides a noncontributory pension plan covering substantially all of the Company’s employees who are eligible as to age and length of service. The Company funds pension costs in accordance with the funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.


Comprehensive Income


Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component in the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.


Earnings Per Share


Earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding. The Company has no dilutive or potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. For the years ending December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the weighted-average common shares outstanding were 2,440,750, 2,445,494 and 2,448,000 respectively.


Advertising


The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.


Reclassifications


Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In November 2005, FASB Staff Position (FSP) 115-1 “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” was issued.  The FSP addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. This FSP also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The guidance in this FSP amends FASB Statement No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and APB Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”. The FSP applies to investments in debt and equity securities and cost-method investments. The application guida nce within the FSP includes items to consider in determining whether an investment is impaired, in evaluating if an impairment is other than temporary and recognizing impairment losses equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value when an impairment is determined. The FSP is required for all reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted. The Compnay does not anticipate the amendment will have a material effect on its financial statements.


                    In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 154, (“SFAS No. 154”) “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.”  The new standard changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Among other changes, SFAS No. 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) tha t was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement. “ The new standard is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate this revision will have a material effect on its financial statements.


In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R) “Share-Based Payment”, which requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  Share-based compensation arrangements include share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees to be valued using a fair value method on the date of grant and expensed based on that fair value over the applicable vesting period. SFAS No. 123R also amends SFAS No. 95 “Statement of Cash Flows” requiring the benefits of tax d eductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as financing instead of operating cash flows. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”), which expresses the SEC’s views regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations. Additionally, SAB No. 107 provides guidance related to share-based payment transactions for public companies. The Company will be required to apply SFAS No. 123R as of the annual reporting period that begins after September 15, 2005.


In December 2003, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer” (“SOP 03-3”). SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor’s initial investment in loans or debt securities (loans) acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. It includes loans purchased by the Company or acquired in business combinations. SOP 03-3 does not apply to loans originated by the Company. The Company adopted the provisions of SOP 03-3 effective January 1, 2005. The initial implementation had no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

The unrealized losses in the investment portfolio as of December 31, 2005 are considered temporary and are a result of general market fluctuations that occur daily. The unrealized losses are from 69 securities that are all of investment grade, backed by insurance, U.S. government agency guarantees, or the full faith and credit of local municipalities throughout the United States. Market prices change daily and are affected by conditions beyond the control of the Company. Investment decisions are made by the management group of the Company and reflect the overall liquidity and strategic asset/liability objectives of the Company. Management analyzes the securities portfolio frequently and manages the portfolio to provide an overall positive impact to the Company’s income statement and balance sheet. As management has the ability and intent to hold debt securities for the foreseeable future, no declines are deemed to be ot her than temporary.


Securities having carrying values of $16,130,126 and $11,430,595 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes required by law.

Long-Term Rate of Return


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


F-19


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements





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


Asset Allocation


The pension plan’s weighted-average asset allocations at September 30, 2005 and 2004, by asset category are as follows:


 

Plan Assets at

September 30,

The trust fund is sufficiently diversified to maintain a reasonable level of risk without imprudently sacrificing return, with a targeted asset allocation of 50% fixed income and 50% equities. The investment manager selects investment fund managers with demonstrated experience and expertise, and funds with demonstrated historical performance, for the implementation of the plan’s investment strategy. The investment manager will consider both actively and passively managed investment strategies and will allocate funds across the asset classes to develop an efficient investment structure.


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


The Company expects to contribute $250,000 to its pension plan in 2006.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements





Plan Amendment


On March 1, 2003, the Company amended its defined benefit pension plan. The plan’s revised formula for retirement benefits decreased payments from 1.65% to 1.00% of the employee’s final five-years’ average earnings. Other provisions including length of service and covered compensation were also changed.


The effect of the amendment is a decrease in the benefit obligation as seen in the table above. This unrecognized prior service cost is being amortized over 20 years.


Deferred Compensation Agreements


Effective October 1, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the termination of the deferred compensation plan. The accrued liability balance at the termination date was $64,873. Upon termination of the plan, each participant received a distribution of the accrued benefit that totaled $38,770, with the remaining liability totaling $26,103 being credited to non-interest expense.  Deferred compensation expense was $136,427 and $78,169 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  During 2004, the Company reversed $162,535 in accrued benefits on participants no longer employed by the Company.


401(k) Plan


During 2003, the Company instituted a 401(k) plan whereby substantially all employees participate in the plan after completing three months of service. Employees may contribute a percentage of their compensation subject to certain limits based on federal tax laws. The Company makes matching contributions equal to 50 percent of the first 6 percent of an employee’s compensation contributed to the plan. Matching contributions vest to the employee equally over a three-year period. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 expense attributable to the plan amounted to $60,810, $65,471 and $29,730, respectively.



Note 10.

Related Party Transactions


In the ordinary course of business, the Company has granted loans to principal officers and directors and their affiliates amounting to $493,000 and $752,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2005, total principal additions were $407,000 and total principal payments and charges were $666,000.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities


The Company is a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.


The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.


At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

F-22


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements




Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.


Unfunded commitments under commercial lines-of-credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines-of-credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.


Standby letters-of-credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters-of-credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters-of-credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.



Note 13.

Restrictions on Cash and Due From Banks


 

The Federal Reserve Bank requires banks to maintain cash reserves against certain categories of deposit liabilities. At December 31, 2005, the aggregate amount of daily average required reserves was approximately $319,000.  The Bank is also required to maintain certain required reserve balances with a correspondent bank.  Those required balances were $1,000,000 at December 31, 2005.



Note 14.

Concentration of Credit Risk


The Company has a diversified loan portfolio consisting of commercial, real estate and consumer (installment) loans. Substantially all of the Company’s customers are residents or operate business ventures in its market area consisting of Nottoway, Amelia, Prince Edward, Chesterfield and adjacent counties. Therefore, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts and the Company’s ability to realize the value of any underlying collateral, if needed, is influenced by the economic conditions in this market area.


The Company maintains a portion of its cash balances with several financial institutions located in its market area. Accounts at each institution are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. Uninsured balances were approximately $1,446,000 at December 31, 2005.



Note 15.

Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements


The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.



F-24


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements





Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, that as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.


As of December 31, 2005, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.


The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 are presented in the table below:

Note 16.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Interest Rate Risk


The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s 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. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.


The Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments used the following methods and assumptions:


Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values.


Securities:  Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.


Restricted Securities:  The carrying value of restricted stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the respective entity.


Loans:  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) 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.


Deposits:  The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amounts 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 and other short term borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values.


Accrued Interest:  The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.


Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments:  Fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the fair value of loan commitments and standby letters of credit was deemed to be immaterial.

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.



Note 17.

Condensed Parent Company Financial Statements


The following parent company accounting policies should be read in conjunction with the related condensed balance sheets, statements of income, and statements of cash flows.


The investment in subsidiary is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The parent company and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return. The subsidiary’s individual tax provision and liability are stated as if it filed a separate return and any benefits or detriments of filing the consolidated tax return are absorbed by the parent company.


The parent company’s principal assets are its investment in its wholly-owned subsidiary. Dividends from the Bank are the primary source of funds for the parent company. The payment of dividends by the Bank is restricted by various statutory limitations. Banking regulations also prohibit extensions of credit by the Bank to the parent company unless appropriately secured by assets.

Exhibit 10.2

MANAGEMENT CONTINUITY AGREEMENT



This Agreement (“Agreement”), dated as of March 28, 2003, is between Citizens Bank and Trust Company, a Virginia corporation (the “Company”) and Joseph D. Borgerding (“Executive”) and provides as follows:


1.

Purpose


The Company recognizes that the possibility of a Change in Control exists, and the uncertainty and questions that it may raise among management may result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders.  Accordingly, the purpose of this Agreement is to encourage the Executive to continue employment after a Change in Control by providing reasonable employment security to the Executive and to recognize the prior service of the Executive in the event of a termination of employment under certain circumstances after a Change in Control.



2.

Term of the Agreement


This Agreement is effective March 28, 2003, and will expire on December 31, 2004; provided that on December 31, 2003 and each December 31st thereafter (each such December 31st is referred to as the “Renewal Date”), this Agreement will be automatically extended for an additional calendar year so as to terminate two years from such Renewal Date.  This Agreement will not, however, be extended if the Company gives written notice of such non-renewal to the Executive no later than September 30 before the Renewal Date (the original and any extended term of this Agreement is referred to as the “Change in Control Period”).



3.

Employment after a Change in Control


If a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in Section 12) occurs during the Change in Control Period and the Executive is employed by the Company on the date the Change in Control occurs (the “Change in Control Date”), the Company will continue to employ the Executive in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the period beginning on the Change in Control Date and ending on the third anniversary of such date (the “Employment Period”).  If a Change in Control occurs on account of a series of transactions, the Change in Control Date is the date of the last of such transactions.






4.

Terms of Employment


(a)

Position and Duties.  During the Employment Period, (i) the Executive’s position, authority, duties and responsibilities will be at least commensurate in all material respects with his training and experience (ii) the Executive’s services will be performed at the location where the Executive was employed immediately preceding the Change in Control Date or any office that is less than 60 miles from such location.


(b)

Compensation.


(i)

Base Salary.  During the Employment Period, the Executive will receive an annual base salary (the “Annual Base Salary”) at least equal to the highest base salary paid or payable to the Executive by the Company and its affiliated companies for the twelve-month period immediately preceding the Change of Control Date.  During the Employment Period, the Annual Base Salary will be reviewed at least annually and will be increased at any time and from time to time as will be substantially consistent with increases in base salary generally awarded in the ordinary course of business to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.  Any increase in the Annual Base Salary will not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the Executive under this Agreement.  The Annual Base Salary will not be reduced after any such increase, and the term Annual Base Salary as used in this Agreement will refer to the Annual Base Salary as so increased.  The term “affiliated companies” includes any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company.


(ii)

Annual Bonus.  In addition to the Annual Base Salary, the Executive will be awarded for each year ending during the Employment Period an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) in cash at least equal to the highest annual bonus paid or payable, including by reason of any deferral, for the two years immediately preceding the year in which the Change in Control Date occurs.  Each such Annual Bonus will be paid no later than the end of the third month of the year next following the year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded.


(iii)

Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans.  During the Employment Period, the Executive will be entitled to participate in all incentive (including stock incentive), savings and retirement, insurance plans, policies and programs applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event will such plans, policies and programs provide the Executive with incentive opportunities, savings opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, in each case, less favorable, in the aggregate, than those provided by the Company and its affiliated companies for the Executive under such plans, policies and programs as in effect at any time during the six months immediately preceding the Change in Control Date.


(iv)

Welfare Benefit Plans,  During the Employment Period, the Executive and/or the Executive’s family, as the case may be, will be eligible for participation in and will receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans, policies and programs provided by the Company and its affiliated companies to the extent applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event will such plans, policies and programs provide the Executive with benefits that are less favorable, in the aggregate, than the



2





most favorable of such plans, policies and programs in effect at any time during the six months immediately preceding the Change in Control Date.


(v)

Fringe Benefits.  During the Employment Period, the Executive will be entitled to fringe benefits in accordance with the most favorable plans, policies and programs of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect for the Executive at any time during the six months immediately preceding the Change in Control Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally from time to time after the Change in Control Date with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.


(vi)

Vacation.  During the Employment Period, the Executive will be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the most favorable plans, policies and programs of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect for the Executive at any time during the six months immediately preceding the Change in Control Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally from time to time after the Change in Control Date with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.



5.

Termination of Employment Following Change in Control


(a)

Death or Disability.  The Executive’s employment will terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during the Employment Period.  If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period, it may terminate the Executive’s employment.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means the Executive’s inability to perform his duties with the Company on a full time basis for 180 consecutive days or a total of at least 240 days in any twelve month period as a result of the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness (as determined by an independent physician selected by the Board).


(b)

Cause.  The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period for Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means (i) gross incompetence, gross negligence, willful misconduct in office or breach of a material fiduciary duty owed to the Company or any affiliated company; (ii) conviction of a felony or a crime of moral turpitude (or a plea of nolo contendere thereto) or commission of an act of embezzlement or fraud against the Company or any affiliated company; (iii) any material breach by the Executive of a material term of this Agreement, including, without limitation, material failure to perform a substantial portion of his duties and responsibilities hereunder; or (iv) deliberate dishonesty of the Executive with respect to the Company or any affiliated company.


(c)

Good Reason; Window Period.  The Executive’s employment may be terminated (i) during the Employment Period by the Executive for Good Reason or (ii) during the Window Period by the Executive without any reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, the “Window Period” means the 90-day period beginning on the later of the one-year anniversary of the Change in Control Date or the date of closing of the corporate transaction that is the subject of shareholder approval in Section 12.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means:




3





(i)

a material adverse change in the Executive’s overall working environment


(ii)

a failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of Section 4(b);


(iii)

the Company’s requiring the Executive to be based at any office or location other than that described in Section 4(a)(ii);


(iv)

the failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 7(b);


(v)

the Executive is directed by the Board of Directors or an officer of the Company or any affiliated company to engage in conduct that is unethical, illegal or contrary to the Company’s good business practices; or


(vi)

the Company fails to honor any term or provision of this Agreement;


Any good faith determination of Good Reason made by the Executive shall be conclusive.


(d)

Notice of Termination.  Any termination during the Employment Period by the Company or by the Executive for Good Reason or during the Window Period shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon.


(e)

Date of Termination.  “Date of Termination” means (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive during the Window Period or for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or Disability, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which shall not be less than 30 nor more than 60 days from the date such Notice of Termination is given), and (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for Disability, 30 days after Notice of Termination is given, provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of his duties during such 30-day period.



6.

Compensation Upon Termination


(a)

Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason or During Window Period.  The Executive will be entitled to the following benefits if, during the Employment Period, the Company terminates his employment without Cause or the Executive terminates his employment with the Company or any affiliated company for Good Reason or during the Window Period.




4





(i)

Accrued Obligations.  The Accrued Obligations are the sum of; (1) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect just prior to the time a Notice of Termination is given; (2) the amount, if any, of any incentive or bonus compensation theretofore earned which has not yet been paid; (3) the product of the Annual Bonus paid or payable, including by reason of deferral or the most recently completed year and a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current year through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365; and (4) any benefits or awards (including both the cash and stock components) which pursuant to the terms of any plans, policies or programs have been earned or become payable, but which have not yet been paid to the Executive (but not including amounts that previously had been deferred at the Executive’s request, which amounts will be paid in accordance with the Executive’s existing directions).   The Accrued Obligations will be paid to the Executive in a lump sum cash payment within ten days after the Date of Termination;


(ii)

Salary Continuance Benefit.  The Salary Continuance Benefit is an amount equal to one-half times the Executive’s Final Compensation.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Final Compensation” means the Annual Base Salary in effect at the Date of Termination, and any amount contributed by the Executive during the most recently completed year pursuant to a salary reduction agreement or any other program that provides for pre-tax salary reductions or compensation deferrals.  The Salary Continuance Benefit will be paid to the Executive in a lump sum cash payment not later than the 45th day following the Date of Termination;


(iii)

Welfare Continuance Benefit.  For 24 months following the Date of Termination, the Executive and his dependents will continue to be covered under all health and dental plans, disability plans, life insurance plans and all other welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(l) of ERISA) (“Welfare Plans”) in which the Executive or his dependents were participating immediately prior to the Date of Termination (the “Welfare Continuance Benefit”).  The Company will pay all or a portion of the cost of the Welfare Continuance Benefit for the Executive and his dependents under the Welfare Plans on the same basis as applicable, from time to time, to active employees covered under the Welfare Plans and the Executive will pay any additional costs.  If participation in any one or more of the Welfare Plans included in the Welfare Continuance Benefit is not possible under the terms of the Welfare Plan or any provision of law would create an adverse tax effect for the Executive or the Company due to such participation, the Company will provide substantially identical benefits directly or through an insurance arrangement.  The Welfare Continuance Benefit as to any Welfare Plan will cease if and when the Executive has obtained coverage under one or more welfare benefit plans of a subsequent employer that provides for equal or greater benefits to the Executive and his dependents with respect to the specific type of benefit.  The Executive or his dependents will become eligible for COBRA continuation coverage as of the date the Welfare Continuance Benefit ceases for all health and dental benefits.


(b)

Death.  If the Executive dies during the Employment Period, this Agreement will terminate without any further obligation on the part of the Company under this Agreement, other than for (i) payment of the Accrued Obligations and three months of the Executive’s Base Salary (which shall be paid to the Executive’s beneficiary designated in writing or his estate, as applicable, in a lump sum cash payment within 30 days of the date of death); (ii)



5





the timely payment or provision of the Welfare Continuance Benefit to the Executive’s spouse and other dependents for 24 months following the date of death; and (iii) the timely payment of all death and retirement benefits pursuant to the terms of any plan, policy or arrangement of the Company and its affiliated companies.


(c)

Disability.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated because of the Executive’s Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement will terminate without any further obligation on the part of the Company under this Agreement, other than for (i) payment of the Accrued Obligations and three months of the Executive’s Base Salary (which shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum cash payment within 30 days of the Date of Termination); (ii) the timely payment or provision of the Welfare Continuance Benefit for 24 months following the Date of Termination; and (iii) the timely payment of all disability and retirement benefits pursuant to the terms of any plan, policy or arrangement of the Company and its affiliated companies.


(d)

Cause; Other than for Good Reason.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this Agreement will terminate without further obligation to the Executive other than the payment to the Executive of the Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination, plus the amount of any compensation previously deferred by the Executive.  If the Executive terminates employment during the Employment Period, excluding a termination either for Good Reason or during the Window Period, this Agreement will terminate without further obligation to the Executive other than for the Accrued Obligations (which will be paid in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination) and any other benefits to which the Executive may be entitled pursuant to the terms of any plan, program or arrangement of the Company and its affiliated companies.


(e)

Limitation of Benefits.  It is the intention of the parties that no payment be made or benefit provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement that would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) and any regulations thereunder, thereby resulting in a loss of an income tax deduction by the Company or the imposition of an Excise Tax on the Executive under Section 4999 of the Code.  If the independent accountants serving as auditors for the Company on the date of a Change in Control determine that some or all of the payments or benefits scheduled under this Agreement, as well as any other payments or benefits on a Change in Control, would be non-deductible by the Company under Section 280G of the Code, then the payments scheduled under this Agreement will be reduced to $1.00 less than the maximum amount which may be paid without causing such payment or benefit to be non-deductible.  The determination made as to the reduction of benefits or payments required hereunder by the independent accountants shall be binding on the parties.  The Executive shall have the right to designate within a reasonable period, which payments or benefits will be reduced; provided, however, that if no direction is received from the Executive, the Company shall implement the reductions in its discretion.


(i)

If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall so indicate to the Executive in writing.




6





(ii)

In the event there is an under-payment of the Gross-Up Payment due to the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm will determine the amount of any such under-payment that has occurred and such amount will be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive.



7.

Binding Agreement; Successors


(a)

This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Executive (and his personal representative), the Company and any successor organization or organizations which shall succeed to substantially all of the business and property of the Company, whether by means of merger, consolidation, acquisition of all or substantially of all of the assets of the Company or otherwise, including by operation of law.


(b)

The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.


(c)

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company” includes any subsidiaries of the Company and any corporation or other entity which is the surviving or continuing entity in respect of any merger, consolidation or form of business combination in which the Company ceases to exist; provided, however, that for purposes of determining whether a Change in Control has occurred herein, the term “Company” refers to Citizens Bank and Trust Company and its successors.



8.

Fees and Expenses; Mitigation


(a)

The Company will pay or reimburse the Executive, on a current basis, for all costs and expenses, including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Executive (i) in contesting or disputing any termination of the Executive’s employment or (ii) in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement, in each case regardless of whether or not the Executive’s claim is upheld by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, the Executive will be required to repay any such amounts to the Company to the extent that a court issues a final and non-appealable order setting forth the determination that the position taken by the Executive was frivolous or advanced by him in bad faith.


(b)

The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment the Company becomes obligated to make to the Executive in connection with this Agreement, by seeking other employment or otherwise.  Except as specifically provided above with respect to the Welfare Continuance Benefit, the amount of any payment provided for in Section 6 shall not



7





be reduced, offset or subject to recovery by the Company by reason of any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise.


9.

No Employment Contract


Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as creating an employment contract between the Executive and the Company prior to Change in Control.



10.

Continuance of Welfare Benefits Upon Death


If the Executive dies while receiving a Welfare Continuation Benefit, the Executive’s spouse and other dependents will continue to be covered under all applicable Welfare Plans during the remainder of the 24-month Coverage Period.  The Executive’s spouse and other dependents will become eligible for COBRA continuation coverage for health and dental benefits at the end of such 24-month period.



11.

Notice


Any notices and other Communications provided for by this Agreement will be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid (in which case notice will be deemed to have been given on the third day after mailing), or by overnight deliver), by it reliable overnight courier service (in which case notice will be deemed to have been given on the day after delivery to such courier service).  Notices to the Company shall be directed to the Secretary of the Company, with a copy directed to the Chairman of the Board of the Company.  Notices to the Executive shall be directed to his last known address.



12.

Definition of a Change in Control


For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control means:


(a)

The acquisition by any Person of beneficial ownership of >20% or more of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company;


(b)

Individuals who constitute the Board on >the date of this Agreement (the “Incumbent Board “) cease to constitute a majority of the Board, provided that any director whose nomination was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board will be considered a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding any such individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of the directors of the Company (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) (the “Exchange Act”));




8





(c)

Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger, share exchange or consolidation (a “Reorganization”), provided that shareholder approval of a Reorganization will not constitute a Change in Control if, upon consummation of the Reorganization, each of the following conditions is satisfied:


(i)

more than 60% of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from the Reorganization is beneficially owned by all or substantially all of the former shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership existed in the Company immediately prior to the Reorganization;


(ii)

no Person beneficially owns 20% or more of either (1) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from the transaction or (2) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; and


(iii)

at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from the Reorganization were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement providing for the Reorganization.


(d)

Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.


(e)

For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, other than any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any affiliated company, and “beneficial ownership” has the meaning given the term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.



13.

Confidentiality


The Executive will hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies and their respective businesses, which was obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and which will not be or become public knowledge.  After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will not, without the prior written consent of the Company or except as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it.  In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 13 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.





9





14.

Miscellaneous


No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or discharged unless such amendment, modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in a writing signed by the Executive and the Chairman of the Board or President of the Company.  No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.  No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement.
