JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

FOR THE PROPOSED MERGER OF

EASTERN VIRGINIA BANKSHARES, INC. AND

FIRST CAPITAL BANCORP, INC.

The boards of directors of Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. (“Eastern Virginia”) and First Capital Bancorp, Inc. (“First Capital”) have agreed to a merger of First Capital with and into Eastern Virginia. If the proposed merger is completed, First Capital shareholders will receive 0.98 shares of Eastern Virginia common stock for each share of First Capital common stock they own.

Eastern Virginia common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “EVBS.” First Capital common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FCVA.”

This joint proxy statement/prospectus provides detailed information about the merger and the special meetings of Eastern Virginia shareholders and First Capital shareholders. It also provides information about the Eastern Virginia common stock to be issued to First Capital shareholders in the event the merger is completed. As described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, we cannot complete the merger unless we obtain the necessary government approvals and approval of the common shareholders of both Eastern Virginia and First Capital and the Series A Preferred Stock shareholder of First Capital, voting as a separate voting group. The U.S. Treasury currently is the only holder of First Capital Series A Preferred Stock. First Capital intends to obtain the U.S. Treasury’s approval of the merger as soon as practicable, other than through this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Please carefully review and consider this joint proxy statement/prospectus, which explains the merger proposal in detail, including the discussion under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 22.

It is important that your shares are represented at your shareholders’ meeting, whether or not you plan to attend. Accordingly, please complete, date, sign, and return promptly your proxy card in the enclosed envelope. You may attend the meeting and vote your shares in person if you wish, even if you have previously returned your proxy.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved the securities to be issued under this joint proxy statement/prospectus or determined if this joint proxy statement/prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The securities to be issued in the merger are not savings or deposit accounts and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other federal or state governmental agency.

This joint proxy statement/prospectus is dated July 9, 2009. It is first being mailed to Eastern Virginia’s and First Capital’s shareholders on or about July 15, 2009.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER AND THE SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS

 

Q: Why are First Capital and Eastern Virginia proposing the merger transaction?

 

A: We believe the proposed merger is in the best interest of First Capital, Eastern Virginia and our respective shareholders. Our boards of directors believe that merging First Capital with and into Eastern Virginia, will provide significant value to our shareholders. The merger provides First Capital shareholders the opportunity to participate in the opportunities for growth offered by the larger, combined company.

You should review the reasons for the merger described in greater detail under the captions “Proposal I—Approval of the Merger and Related Matters—Background of the Merger,” “—Eastern Virginia’s Reasons for the Merger” and “—First Capital’s Reasons for the Merger” beginning on page 39.

 

Q: When and where are the shareholder meetings?

 

A: The First Capital special meeting is scheduled to take place on August 20, 2009 at 2:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, at Comfort Suites Innsbrook, 4051 Innslake Drive, Glen Allen, Virginia 23060.

The Eastern Virginia special meeting is scheduled to take place on August 20, 2009 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, at the King William Ruritan Park, 15188 King William Road, King William, Virginia 23086.

 

Q: What do the boards of directors recommend?

 

A: The boards of directors of First Capital and Eastern Virginia have approved and adopted the merger agreement and recommend that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

Q: What will First Capital shareholders receive for their stock?

 

A: For each share of First Capital common stock that you own, you will receive 0.98 shares of Eastern Virginia common stock.

 

Q: How do I exchange my First Capital stock certificates?

 

A: To receive merger consideration, you must return your First Capital stock certificates or an appropriate guarantee of delivery. You will receive instructions on where to surrender your First Capital stock certificates from the exchange agent after the merger is completed. In any event, you should not forward your First Capital stock certificates with your proxy card.

 

Q: What should I do if my shares of First Capital are held by my broker or otherwise in “street name”?

 

A: If you hold your shares of First Capital common stock in “street name” (i.e., your bank or broker holds your shares for you), you should receive instructions directly from your bank or broker. If you have any questions, you should contact your bank or broker directly, or you may contact Eastern Virginia or First Capital at the addresses or telephone numbers listed on page 87.

 

Q: Can the value of the transaction change between now and the time that the merger is completed?

 

A: Yes. The value of the merger consideration could increase or decrease between now and the time that the merger is completed. The market value of the Eastern Virginia common stock that First Capital common shareholders will receive in the merger will fluctuate based on the trading price of Eastern Virginia common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Table of Contents
Q: When will you complete the merger?

 

A: We intend to complete the merger as soon as possible after shareholder approval is received, all regulatory approvals have been obtained and other conditions to the closing have been satisfied or waived. We expect to complete the merger in the third quarter of 2009, although there can be no assurance in this regard.

 

Q: What should I do now?

 

A: Complete, sign, date and return your signed proxy card in the enclosed return envelope as soon as possible so that your shares may be represented at the applicable shareholder meeting. It is important that the proxy card be received as soon as possible and in any event before the applicable shareholder meeting.

 

Q: Can I change my vote after I mail my proxy card?

 

A: Yes. You can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the shareholder meeting. You can do this in one of three ways:

 

   

First, you can send a written notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy;

 

   

Second, you can complete and submit a new proxy card; or

 

   

Third, you can attend the shareholder meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the shareholder meeting, however, will not revoke your proxy.

If you choose either of the first or second methods, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy card prior to the shareholder meeting. If you are a First Capital shareholder, your submissions must be mailed to the Secretary of First Capital at the address listed on page 87. If you are a Eastern Virginia shareholder, your submissions must be mailed to the Secretary of Eastern Virginia at the address listed on page 87.

If your shares are held in “street name” (i.e., your bank or broker holds your shares for you), you should contact your bank or broker to obtain instructions about how to change your vote.

 

Q: Who will be soliciting proxies?

 

A: The officers, boards of directors and certain employees of Eastern Virginia and First Capital will be soliciting proxies. In addition, Eastern Virginia has retained The Altman Group to aid in the solicitation of proxies. The Altman Group will receive a fee of approximately $9,000 for its proxy solicitation services.

 

Q: What if I do not vote or I abstain from voting on the merger?

 

A: If you do not vote or you abstain from voting, your failure to vote or abstention will be the equivalent of a “NO” vote on the merger.

 

Q: If my shares are held by my broker in “street name,” will my broker vote my shares for me?

 

A: Your broker will not vote your shares on the merger unless you provide instructions on how to vote. You should follow the directions provided by your broker to vote your shares. If you do not provide your broker with instructions on how to vote your shares, your broker will not be permitted to vote your shares, which will have the effect of a “NO” vote on the merger.

 

Q: If I am a First Capital shareholder, will I be able to sell the shares of Eastern Virginia common stock that I receive in the merger?

 

A: Yes, in most cases. The shares of Eastern Virginia common stock to be issued in the merger will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. However, certain former First Capital shareholders who are deemed to be “affiliates” of Eastern Virginia (after the merger) under the Securities Act (generally, directors, executive officers and shareholders of Eastern Virginia holding 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Eastern Virginia common stock) must abide by certain transfer restrictions under the Securities Act.

Table of Contents
Q: What are the tax consequences of the merger to me?

For greater detail, see “Proposal I—Approval of the Merger and Related Matters—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 69.

SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information from this joint proxy statement/prospectus. It does not contain all of the information that is important to you. We urge you to carefully read the entire joint proxy statement/prospectus, including Annexes A through K, and the other documents to which this joint proxy statement/prospectus refers to fully understand the merger and the other matters to be considered at the respective shareholder meetings. See “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 86. Each item in this summary includes a page reference directing you to a more complete description of that item.

The Merger (page 39)

We have attached the merger agreement to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. Please read the merger agreement. It is the legal document that governs the merger.

In the merger, Eastern Virginia will acquire First Capital through the merger of First Capital with and into Eastern Virginia. After the merger, First Capital Bank, First Capital’s bank subsidiary will merge into EVB, Eastern Virginia’s bank subsidiary and EVB will continue to operate as a Virginia chartered bank.

Each share of First Capital common stock outstanding will be converted in the merger into 0.98 shares of Eastern Virginia common stock as further described below. We expect to complete the merger in the third quarter of 2009, although there can be no assurance in this regard.

Our Reasons for the Merger (page 40)

First Capital’s board of directors is proposing the merger because, among other reasons:

 

   

First Capital’s common shareholders will receive a premium over First Capital’s prevailing stock price;

 

   

the merger will allow First Capital’s common shareholders to retain a voice in management through First Capital’s continued presence on the boards of the combined entity and the combined bank;

 

   

the merger allows First Capital’s shareholders to be part owner of a larger and more diversified financial institution offering a broader array of financial services;

 

   

the merger should allow First Capital to expand its presence in the central Virginia market, increase competitiveness and improve operations;

 

   

First Capital believes that Eastern Virginia has a compatible business culture and shared approach to customer service and increasing shareholder value; and

 

   

the merger will enable First Capital’s common shareholders to exchange their shares for shares of a combined company that will have a larger market capitalization and could provide First Capital’s common shareholders with a greater ability to buy and sell their shares quickly and efficiently.

Eastern Virginia’s board of directors is proposing the merger because, among other reasons:

 

   

the merger will broaden the market presence of Eastern Virginia in the Richmond metropolitan area by adding seven branches, six of which are in areas where Eastern Virginia does not currently have a strong presence;

 

   

First Capital’s operating philosophy and business lines compliment those of Eastern Virginia;

 

   

the merger will create a larger and more diversified organization, with a higher legal lending limit, that is better positioned to compete a grow its business;

 

   

the merger conforms with Eastern Virginia’s long-term goals of enhancing shareholder value, diversifying credit risk, broadening its customer base for loans deposits and broadening its market penetration;

 

   

the cultural philosophy of First Capital’s management team fits well with Eastern Virginia’s strategic initiatives;

 

   

the merger will increase the capacity of the resulting organization to add to its current offering of financial products and services;

Table of Contents
   

the larger shareholder base of the combined entity may allow shareholders to buy and sell shares more quickly and efficiently; and

 

   

the transaction should be accretive to earnings per share in the first year after completion of the merger.

What First Capital Common Shareholders Will Receive in the Merger (page 39)

Each of your shares of First Capital common stock will be converted into 0.98 shares of Eastern Virginia common stock.

Eastern Virginia will not issue any fractional shares in the merger. Instead, you will receive cash for any fractional share of Eastern Virginia common stock to which you would otherwise be entitled. The amount of cash that you will receive for any such fractional share will be calculated by multiplying (i) the fractional share interest to which you would otherwise be entitled by (ii) the Eastern Virginia “average price.” The Eastern Virginia “average price” means the average of the daily closing prices of Eastern Virginia shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the fifth day before the effective time of the merger.

Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights (page 60)

Holders of First Capital common stock will not have any dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the merger or any other matters described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Holders of First Capital Series A Preferred Shares have appraisal rights; however, the U.S. Treasury currently is the only holder of First Capital Series A Preferred Shares and will not have appraisal rights if it votes such shares in favor of, or otherwise approves or consents to, the merger. If the U.S. Treasury does not approve the merger, the merger cannot be completed.

Accounting Treatment (page 15)

The merger will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences (page 69)

You should consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the merger’s tax consequences that are particular to you. The parties are not obligated to close the merger unless each of First Capital and Eastern Virginia has received a legal opinion from outside counsel that the merger will be treated for federal income tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code. These opinions of counsel, however, will not bind the Internal Revenue Service, which could take a different view.

Shareholders also will be required to file certain information with their federal income tax returns and to retain certain records with regard to the merger.

The discussion of material United States federal income tax consequences set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is for general information only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax effects that may apply to a holder of First Capital common stock. Shareholders of First Capital are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the merger, including the application and effect of federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.

Table of Contents

The approval of the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Eastern Virginia’s outstanding shares of common stock.

Approval of the adjournment of the meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares cast at the meeting, whether or not a quorum is present.

Approval of the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby does not require the approval of the holder of the Eastern Virginia Series A Preferred Stock.

First Capital

Shareholders of First Capital can vote at the special meeting if they owned shares of First Capital common stock at the close of business on July 6, 2009. On that date, First Capital had 2,971,171 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. You can cast one vote for each share of First Capital common stock that you owned on that date.

The approval of the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of First Capital’s outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock.

Approval of the adjournment of the meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares cast at the meeting, whether or not a quorum is present.

In addition, the merger must be approved by the holder of the First Capital Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate group. The U.S. Treasury currently holds all of such preferred stock. First Capital intends to obtain the U.S. Treasury’s approval of the merger as soon as practicable, other than through this joint proxy statement/prospectus. While we do not know of any reason why First Capital would not be able to obtain the U.S. Treasury’s approval in a timely manner, we cannot be certain when or if we will receive it.

Support Agreements (page 62)

In connection with the merger agreement, the directors of Eastern Virginia and First Capital entered into support agreements, which generally require such directors to vote “FOR” the merger.

As of July 6, 2009, Eastern Virginia’s directors and executive officers held approximately 4.52% of the outstanding shares of Eastern Virginia common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting.

As of July 6, 2009, First Capital’s directors and executive officers held approximately 18.48% of the outstanding shares of First Capital common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting.

Conditions to Completion of the Merger (page 62)

The obligations of Eastern Virginia and First Capital to complete the merger depend on a number of conditions being met. These include, but are not limited to:

 

   

the holders of common stock of Eastern Virginia and First Capital must approve the merger agreement, the merger and the related transactions;

 

   

the holder of preferred stock of First Capital, which is currently held by the U.S. Treasury, must approve the merger agreement, the merger and the related transactions as a separate voting group;

Table of Contents

A full list of the conditions to completion of the merger can be found in “Proposal I—Approval of the Merger and Related Matters—Conditions of the Merger” beginning on page 62.

Where the law permits, either of us could choose to waive in writing a condition to our obligation to complete the merger although that condition has not been satisfied. We cannot be certain when, or if, the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived, or that the merger will be completed.

Regulatory Approvals (page 66)

We cannot complete the merger unless it is approved by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Virginia State Corporation Commission. Once the Federal Reserve Board approves the merger, we have to wait from 15 to 30 days before we can complete it. During that time, the Department of Justice has the power to challenge the merger.

As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, we have not yet received the required approvals. While we do not know of any reason why we would not be able to obtain the necessary approvals in a timely manner, we cannot be certain when or if we will receive them.

Termination of the Merger Agreement; Expenses (page 64)

Eastern Virginia and First Capital can mutually agree at any time to terminate the merger agreement without completing the merger, even if the First Capital and Eastern Virginia shareholders have approved it. Also, either of us can decide, without the consent of the other, to terminate the merger agreement in a number of other situations, including:

 

   

an unremedied breach of the merger agreement by the other party, so long as the party that is seeking to terminate the merger agreement has not itself materially breached the agreement;

 

   

the failure of a condition to the obligations of a party to close the merger;

 

   

the failure to complete the merger by December 31, 2009;

 

   

the final denial of a required regulatory approval;

 

   

the failure to obtain the required shareholder votes;

 

   

First Capital enters into a definitive agreement with a third party that First Capital’s board of directors determines is more favorable to its shareholders from a financial point of view;

 

   

the failure of the banks on a combined basis to achieve certain pro-forma capital levels shortly before closing; and

 

   

the failure of either of Eastern Virginia or First Capital to be “well capitalized” shortly before closing.

Eastern Virginia also can terminate the merger agreement if First Capital elects not to make accounting adjustments reasonably requested by Eastern Virginia in order to conform First Capital’s accounting policies to those of Eastern Virginia immediately prior to the effective time of the merger.

If the merger agreement is terminated as the result of an intentional breach, then the breaching party may owe the other party a termination fee of $2,500,000. Eastern Virginia may be entitled to receive a termination fee from First Capital of $1,250,000, if the reason for the termination involves another acquisition proposal. A termination fee and transaction expenses may also be payable in certain other instances. See “Proposal I—Approval of the Merger and Related Matters—Effect of Termination; Termination Fee and Transaction Expenses” beginning on page 65.

Waiver and Amendment (page 66)

We may jointly amend the merger agreement, and each of us may waive our right to require the other party to adhere to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. However, our right to do so after either of the shareholders’ meetings is restricted under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act and other applicable law.

Certain Benefits of Directors and Officers of First Capital (page 60)

Some directors and officers of First Capital have interests in the merger that differ from the interests of other First Capital shareholders, including the following:

 

   

Following the merger, Eastern Virginia will indemnify and provide liability insurance to the present directors and officers of First Capital, subject to certain limitations.

 

   

At the effective time of the merger, unvested First Capital stock options shall vest.

 

   

Following the merger, Eastern Virginia will assume all existing change in control and employment agreements of First Capital, except to the extent any such agreements are amended, modified or terminated prior to the effective time of the merger. The terms of these agreements are summarized on page 60.

 

   

Upon completion of the merger, five members of the First Capital board of directors, Grant S. Grayson, John M. Presley, Richard W. Wright, Debra L. Richardson and P.C. Amin, will join the board of directors of Eastern Virginia. In addition, Mr. Presley will become the managing director and chief financial officer of Eastern Virginia and Robert G. Watts, Jr. will become chief executive officer of EVB. Neither of Messrs. Presley or Watts have entered into employment agreements with Eastern Virginia or EVB nor have the terms of their employment been determined.

The members of the First Capital board of directors knew about these additional interests and considered them when they approved the merger agreement and the merger.

Stock Option Conversions (page 60)

Under the merger agreement, each stock option to buy First Capital common stock granted under First Capital’s stock option plan that is outstanding and not yet exercised immediately prior to the merger will vest and will be converted into an option to buy Eastern Virginia’s common stock on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such First Capital stock option. The number and price of the options converted in connection with the merger will be adjusted by the exchange ratio.

Preferred Stock and Warrant Conversions (pages 59 and 60)

On April 3, 2009, First Capital issued 10,958 shares of preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury in return for $10.958 million in cash in connection with the TARP Capital Purchase Program. Each share of such First Capital preferred stock will be converted into one share of a series of Eastern Virginia preferred stock having identical powers, preferences and rights as the First Capital preferred stock. The Eastern Virginia preferred stock will be issued privately and not pursuant to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

In addition, First Capital issued a warrant to the U.S. Treasury giving them the right to purchase 250,947 shares of First Capital’s common stock at $6.55 per share for up to 10 years so long as the preferred stock is outstanding. Under the merger agreement, such First Capital warrant will be converted into a warrant to buy Eastern Virginia’s common stock on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such First Capital warrant. The number and price of the warrants converted in connection with the merger will be adjusted by the exchange ratio.

Material Differences in the Rights of Eastern Virginia Shareholders and First Capital Shareholders (page 80)

The rights of Eastern Virginia shareholders are governed by Virginia law and by Eastern Virginia’s articles of incorporation and bylaws. The rights of First Capital shareholders are governed by Virginia law and by First Capital’s articles of incorporation and bylaws. Upon completion of the merger, the rights of Eastern Virginia’s shareholders, including former shareholders of First Capital, will be governed by Virginia law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Eastern Virginia.

Eastern Virginia has historically paid cash dividends on a quarterly basis. However, it cannot guarantee that it will continue to pay cash dividends on any particular schedule or that it will not reduce the amount of dividends it pays in the future. Eastern Virginia’s future dividend policy is subject to the discretion of the board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors deemed relevant by its board, including but not limited to the future consolidated earnings, financial condition, liquidity, capital requirements for it and EVB, applicable governmental regulations and policies.

As a result of Eastern Virginia’s issuance of Series A Preferred Stock to the U.S. Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program on January 9, 2009, Eastern Virginia faces additional restrictions on its ability to pay cash dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock is in a superior ownership position compared to common stock. Dividends must be paid to the Series A Preferred Stock holder before they can be paid to common stock holders. In addition, prior to January 9, 2012, unless Eastern Virginia has redeemed the Series A Preferred Stock or the U.S. Treasury has transferred the Series A Preferred Stock to a third party, the consent of the U.S. Treasury will be required for Eastern Virginia to increase its common stock dividend above $0.16 per quarter or repurchase its common stock or other equity or capital securities, other than in certain circumstances specified in the TARP Purchase Agreement. If dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six (6) quarterly dividend periods or more, whether or not consecutive, Eastern Virginia’s authorized number of directors will be automatically increased by two and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to elect those directors at Eastern Virginia’s next annual meeting or at a special meeting called for that purpose; these two directors will be elected annually and will serve until all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past dividend periods have been declared and paid in full. First Capital also issued preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury on April 3, 2009. Upon completion of the merger, each share of First Capital’s preferred stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of Eastern Virginia Series B Preferred Stock with identical powers, preferences and rights. As a result of such conversion, Eastern Virginia will be subject to the restrictions on its ability to pay dividends described above until April 3, 2012, unless Eastern Virginia has redeemed the Series B Preferred Stock or the U.S. Treasury has transferred the Series B Preferred Stock to a third party.

Table of Contents

Eastern Virginia is organized under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, which prohibits the payment of a dividend if, after giving it effect, the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or if the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of any preferred shareholders.

Eastern Virginia is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries. Eastern Virginia’s ability to distribute cash dividends will depend primarily on the ability of EVB to pay dividends to Eastern Virginia, and EVB is subject to laws and regulations that limit the amount of dividends that it can pay. As a state member bank, EVB is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the reserve and capital requirements of federal and Virginia banking statutes and regulations. The Federal Reserve and the state of Virginia have the general authority to limit the dividends paid by insured banks if the payment is deemed an unsafe and unsound practice. Both the state of Virginia and the Federal Reserve have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a bank’s capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsound and unsafe banking practice.

Under the Federal Reserve’s regulations, EVB may not declare or pay any dividend if the total amount of all dividends, including the proposed dividend, is in excess of its net income for the current year plus any retained net income from the prior two calendar years, unless the dividend is approved by the Federal Reserve. In addition, EVB may not declare or pay a dividend without the approval of its board and two-thirds of its shareholders if the dividend would exceed its undivided profits, as reported to the Federal Reserve. Under Virginia law, a bank may not declare a dividend in excess of its undivided profits.

In addition, Eastern Virginia is subject to certain regulatory requirements to maintain capital at or above regulatory minimums. These regulatory requirements regarding capital affect Eastern Virginia’s dividend policies. The Federal Reserve has indicated that a bank holding company should generally pay dividends only if its 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 following table sets forth historical per share market values for Eastern Virginia common stock and First Capital common stock (i) on April 2, 2009, the last trading day prior to public announcement of the merger agreement, and (ii) on July 6, 2009 the most recent practicable date before the printing and mailing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The table also shows the equivalent pro forma market value of First Capital common stock on April 2, 2009 and July 6, 2009.

The equivalent pro forma market value of First Capital common stock is obtained by multiplying the historical market price of Eastern Virginia common stock by the exchange ratio of 0.98 shares of Eastern Virginia common stock for each share of First Capital common stock.

The historical market prices represent the last sale prices on or before the dates indicated

COMPARATIVE UNAUDITED PER SHARE DATA

We have summarized below historical per share information for Eastern Virginia and First Capital and additional information as if the companies had been combined for the periods shown, which we refer to as “pro forma” information. The unaudited pro forma information is based upon the assumption that the total number of shares of First Capital common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger will be 2,971,171, the number of shares outstanding as of March 31, 2009, and that no outstanding stock options and warrants have been exercised.

We expect that both Eastern Virginia and First Capital will incur merger and integration charges as a result of the merger. We also anticipate that the merger will provide the combined company with financial benefits that may include reduced operating expenses. The unaudited information set forth below, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, may not reflect all of these anticipated expenses and does not reflect any of these anticipated financial benefits and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had our companies been combined during the periods presented.

The information in the following table is based on, and you should read it together with, the historical financial information and the notes thereto for Eastern Virginia and First Capital incorporated by reference into, or contained in, this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The pro forma equivalent is calculated on the actual shares to be received by First Capital shareholders at the 0.98 exchange ratio.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to the proposed merger of First Capital with and into Eastern Virginia as if the merger occurred on March 31, 2009 with respect to the balance sheet, and on January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 with respect to the income statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The pro forma calculations assume a closing price of $8.39, which represents the closing price of Eastern Virginia’s common stock on March 31, 2009. The unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to the proposed merger under the acquisition method of accounting.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 Revised (SFAS 141R), which replaced SFAS 141, “Business Combinations,” for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008, but retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141, that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination.

SFAS 141R revises the definition of the acquisition date as the date the acquirer obtains control of the acquiree. This is typically the closing date and is used to measure the fair value of the consideration paid. When the acquirer issues equity instruments as full or partial payment for the acquiree, the fair value of the acquirer’s equity instruments will be measured at the acquisition date rather than an earlier measurement date as currently required under SFAS 141. Under SFAS 141R all loans are transferred at fair value, including adjustments for credit, and no allowance is carried over. Transaction costs are excluded from the acquisition accounting. They are instead accounted for under other generally accepted accounting principles, which may mean the costs are expensed as incurred (e.g., due diligence costs), or, to the extent applicable, treated as a cost of issuing equity securities. Statement 141R nullifies EITF No. 95–3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination” and requires costs associated with restructuring or exit activities that do not meet the recognition criteria in SFAS 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” as of the acquisition date to be subsequently recognized as post-combination costs when those criteria are met.

SFAS 141R also retains the guidance in SFAS 141 for identifying and recognizing intangible assets separately from goodwill. However, SFAS 141R’s scope is broader than that of SFAS 141, which only applied to business combinations in which control was obtained by transferring consideration. As the transaction will close after December 15, 2008, the application of SFAS 141R was considered in arriving at the unaudited pro forma results in the tables provided below.

The acquisition method of accounting requires that all of First Capital’s assets and liabilities be adjusted to their fair market values as of the date of acquisition. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial statements, fair market value of March 31, 2009 assets and liabilities has been estimated by management of Eastern Virginia using market information available on March 31, 2009. Accordingly, these adjustments are only approximations. This information may not necessarily be indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have occurred if the merger had been consummated on the date or at the beginning of the period indicated or which may be obtained in the future. Upon consummation of the merger, Eastern Virginia will make adjustments as of the date of consummation based on appraisals and estimates.

Financial statements of Eastern Virginia issued after the consummation of the merger will reflect such values and will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical position or results of operations of First Capital. The operating results of First Capital will be reflected in Eastern Virginia’s consolidated financial statements from and after the date the merger is consummated. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial statements contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus have been prepared using the purchase method of accounting to account for the merger.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on, derived from, and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Eastern Virginia and First Capital, which are included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus or incorporated in this document by reference.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully read and consider the following risk factors concerning Eastern Virginia, First Capital and the merger before you decide whether to vote to approve the merger and/or the other matters to be considered and voted upon at the respective shareholder meetings.

Risks Associated with the Merger

Fluctuations in the trading price of Eastern Virginia common stock will change the value of the shares of Eastern Virginia common stock that First Capital shareholders receive in the merger.

The value of the Eastern Virginia common stock that each First Capital common shareholder receives in the merger will increase or decrease as the market price of Eastern Virginia common stock increases or decreases. Also, after the merger, the market value of Eastern Virginia common stock could decrease.

The integration of the operations of Eastern Virginia and First Capital may be more difficult than anticipated.

The success of the merger will depend on a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the combined entity’s ability to:

 

   

timely and successfully integrate the operations of Eastern Virginia and First Capital;

 

   

maintain existing relationships with depositors in First Capital to minimize withdrawals of deposits subsequent to the merger;

 

   

maintain and enhance existing relationships with borrowers;

 

   

control the incremental non-interest expense from First Capital to maintain overall operating efficiencies;

 

   

retain and attract qualified personnel; and

 

   

compete effectively in the communities served by Eastern Virginia and First Capital and in nearby communities.

The merger with First Capital may distract management of Eastern Virginia and First Capital from its other responsibilities.

The acquisition of First Capital could cause the management of Eastern Virginia and First Capital to focus their time and energies on matters related to the transaction that otherwise would be directed to the business and operations of Eastern Virginia and First Capital. Any such distraction on the part of either company’s management, if significant, could affect its ability to service existing business and develop new business and adversely affect the business and earnings of Eastern Virginia or the combined company.

There can be no assurance that Eastern Virginia will continue to pay dividends.

Although Eastern Virginia has paid a quarterly 16 cent dividend, it reduced that dividend to five cents in April of 2009. The future dividend policy of Eastern Virginia is subject to the discretion of the board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings, financial condition, capital and cash requirements, and general business conditions. In addition, the ability of Eastern Virginia to pay dividends is largely dependent upon the amount of dividends its subsidiary, EVB, is permitted to pay to Eastern Virginia. The ability of a bank to pay dividends is restricted under applicable law and regulations. In addition, Eastern Virginia’s ability to pay dividends is restricted by the terms of its preferred stock held by the U.S. Treasury pursuant to the TARP Capital Purchase Program. For a description of those restrictions, see the section entitled “Description of Eastern Virginia Capital Stock – Common Stock – Dividends.”

Eastern Virginia and First Capital may not receive regulatory approvals or such approvals may take longer than expected or impose conditions Eastern Virginia and First Capital do not presently anticipate.

The merger must be approved by the Federal Reserve and the Virginia State Corporation Commission (“SCC”). These regulatory agencies will consider, among other things, the competitive impact of the merger, each of Eastern Virginia’s and First Capital’s financial and managerial resources and the convenience and needs of the communities to be served. As part of that consideration, Eastern Virginia and First Capital expect that the Federal Reserve will review the capital position, safety, soundness, and legal and regulatory compliance matters and Community Reinvestment Act

Table of Contents

matters. There can be no assurance as to whether the necessary approval from the Federal Reserve and the SCC will be received, the timing of that approval, or whether any conditions will be imposed that might limit the combined company’s ability to do business after the merger as presently anticipated.

Directors and officers of First Capital have interests in the merger that differ from the interests of non-director or non-management shareholders.

Some of the directors and officers of First Capital have interests in the merger that differ from, or are in addition to, their interests as shareholders of First Capital. These interests exist because of, among other things, employment or severance agreements that the officers have with First Capital, rights that First Capital officers and directors have under First Capital’s benefit plans (including the treatment of their stock options following the merger) and rights to indemnification and directors and officers insurance following the merger.

Although the members of each of Eastern Virginia’s and First Capital’s board of directors knew about these additional interests and considered them when they approved the merger agreement and the merger, you should understand that some of the directors and officers of First Capital will receive benefits or other payments in connection with the merger that you will not receive. See “Proposal I—Approval of the Merger and Related Matters—Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger” on page 60.

Risks Associated with Eastern Virginia

Difficult market conditions have adversely affected Eastern Virginia’s industry.

Dramatic declines in the housing market over the past year, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures, unemployment and under-employment, have negatively impacted the credit performance of real estate related loans and resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions. These write-downs, initially of asset-backed securities, but spreading to other securities and loans, have caused many financial institutions to seek additional capital, to reduce or eliminate dividends, to merge with larger and stronger institutions and, in some cases, to fail. Reflecting concern about the stability of the financial markets generally and the strength of counterparties, many lenders and institutional investors have reduced or ceased providing funding to borrowers, including to other financial institutions. This market turmoil and tightening of credit have led to an increased level of commercial and consumer delinquencies, lack of consumer confidence, increased market volatility and widespread reduction of business activity generally. The resulting economic pressure on consumers and lack of confidence in the financial markets has adversely affected Eastern Virginia’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Market developments may affect consumer confidence levels and may cause adverse changes in payment patterns, causing increases in delinquencies and default rates, which may impact Eastern Virginia’s charge-offs and provision for credit losses. A worsening of these conditions would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions on Eastern Virginia and others in the financial institutions industry.

Current levels of market volatility are unprecedented.

The capital and credit markets have been experiencing significant volatility and disruption for more than 12 months. In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit availability for certain issuers without regard to those issuers’ underlying financial strength. If market disruption and volatility continues or worsens, there can be no assurance that Eastern Virginia will not experience an adverse effect, which may be material, on its ability to access capital and on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect Eastern Virginia.

Eastern Virginia’s ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty or other relationships. Eastern Virginia has exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and it routinely executes transactions with counterparties in the financial industry. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services institutions, or the financial services industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by Eastern Virginia or by other institutions. Many of these transactions expose Eastern Virginia to credit risk in the event of default of its counterparty or client. In addition, Eastern Virginia’s credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by it cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at

prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the financial instrument exposure due Eastern Virginia. To prepare it for these possibilities, Eastern Virginia monitors the financial soundness of companies it deals with. However, there is no assurance that any such losses would not materially and adversely affect Eastern Virginia’s results of operations.

There can be no assurance that recently enacted legislation will stabilize the U.S. financial system.

On October 3, 2008, President Bush signed into law the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”). The legislation was the result of a proposal by U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to the U.S. Congress in response to the financial crises affecting the banking system and financial markets and threats to investment banks and other financial institutions. Pursuant to the EESA, the U.S. Treasury will have the authority to, among other things, purchase up to $700 billion of mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets. On October 14, 2008, the U.S. Treasury announced a program under the EESA pursuant to which it would make senior preferred stock investments in participating financial institutions (the “TARP Capital Purchase Program”). On October 14, 2008, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced the development of a guarantee program under the systemic risk exception to the Federal Deposit Act (“FDA”) pursuant to which the FDIC would offer a guarantee of certain financial institution indebtedness in exchange for an insurance premium to be paid to the FDIC by issuing financial institutions (the “FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program”). On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “ARRA”), which contains a wide array of provisions aimed at stimulating the U.S. economy.

There can be no assurance, however, as to the actual impact that the EESA, ARRA and their implementing regulations, the FDIC programs, or any other governmental program will have on the financial markets. The failure of the EESA, ARRA, the FDIC, or the U.S. government to stabilize the financial markets and a continuation or worsening of current financial market conditions could materially and adversely affect Eastern Virginia’s business, financial condition, results of operations, access to credit or the trading price of its common stock.

The impact on us of recently enacted legislation, in particular the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and their implementing regulations, and actions by the FDIC, cannot be predicted at this time.

The programs established or to be established under the EESA, ARRA and the Troubled Asset Relief Program and other recently enacted legislation may have adverse effects upon Eastern Virginia. Compliance with such regulation may increase Eastern Virginia’s costs and limit its ability to pursue business opportunities. Also, participation in specific programs may subject it to additional restrictions. For example, participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program limits (without the consent of the U.S. Treasury) Eastern Virginia’s ability to increase its dividend or to repurchase its common stock for so long as any securities issued under such program remain outstanding. It will also subject Eastern Virginia to additional executive compensation restrictions. Similarly, programs established by the FDIC under the systemic risk exception of the FDA, whether Eastern Virginia participates or not, may have an adverse effect on it. Participation in the FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program likely will require the payment of additional insurance premiums to the FDIC. Eastern Virginia may be required to pay significantly higher Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums even if it does not participate in the FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program because market developments have significantly depleted the insurance fund of the FDIC and reduced the ratio of reserves to insured deposits. The affects of participating or not participating in any such programs and the extent of Eastern Virginia’s participation in such programs cannot reliably be determined at this time.

Eastern Virginia may incur losses if it is unable to successfully manage interest rate risk.

Eastern Virginia’s profitability will depend in substantial part upon the spread between the interest rates earned on investments and loans and the interest rates paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. These rates are normally in line with general market rates and rise and fall based on the asset liability committee’s view of its needs. However, Eastern Virginia may pay above-market rates to attract deposits as it has done in some of its marketing promotions in the past. Changes in interest rates will affect Eastern Virginia’s operating performance and financial condition in diverse ways including the pricing of securities, loans and deposits, and the volume of loan originations in its mortgage banking business. Eastern Virginia attempts to minimize its exposure to interest rate risk, but it is unable to completely eliminate this risk. Eastern Virginia’s net interest spread will depend on many factors that are partly or entirely

outside its control, including competition, federal economic, monetary and fiscal policies, and economic conditions generally. Eastern Virginia’s net interest income will be adversely affected if market interest rates change so that the interest it pays on deposits and borrowings increases faster than the interest it earns on loans and investments.

Eastern Virginia is experiencing strong competition from other banks and financial institutions for deposits. Eastern Virginia may offer more competitive rates to its customers or find alternative funding sources to fund the growth in its loan portfolio. In 2008 and 2007, deposit growth was not sufficient to fund its loan growth. In 2007, Eastern Virginia was able to utilize the $23.5 million from its stock offering in late 2006 to fund loan growth early in the year. In addition, as it did in 2006, Eastern Virginia used Federal Home Loan Bank advances and principal and interest payments on available-for-sale securities to make up the difference. In 2008, Eastern Virginia borrowed from the FHLB early in the year but was able to fund a large part of its loan growth from the deposits it acquired from its purchase of two branches.

Eastern Virginia relies heavily on its management team and the unexpected loss of any of those personnel could adversely affect its operations; Eastern Virginia depends on its ability to attract and retain key personnel.

Eastern Virginia is a customer-focused and relationship-driven organization. Eastern Virginia expects its future growth to be driven in a large part by the relationships maintained with its customers by its president and chief executive officer and other senior officers. Eastern Virginia has entered into employment agreements with six of its executive officers. The existence of such agreements, however, does not necessarily assure that Eastern Virginia will be able to continue to retain their services. The unexpected loss of any of Eastern Virginia’s key employees could have an adverse effect on its business and possibly result in reduced revenues and earnings. Eastern Virginia maintains bank-owned life insurance on key officers that would help cover some of the economic impact of a loss caused by death. The implementation of Eastern Virginia’s business strategy also will require it 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 Eastern Virginia’s 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 Eastern Virginia cannot assure you that it will be successful in attracting, hiring, motivating or retaining them.

Eastern Virginia’s concentration in loans secured by real estate may increase its credit losses, which would negatively affect its financial results.

Eastern Virginia offers a variety of secured loans, including commercial lines of credit, commercial term loans, real estate, construction, home equity, consumer and other loans. Many of Eastern Virginia’s loans are secured by real estate (both residential and commercial) in its market area. Consequently, a decline in local economic conditions may have a greater effect on Eastern Virginia’s earnings and capital than on the earnings and capital of larger financial institutions whose real estate loan portfolios are geographically diverse.

In addition to the financial strength and cash flow characteristics of the borrower in each case, Eastern Virginia often secures loans with real estate collateral. At December 31, 2008, approximately 85.0% of Eastern Virginia’s loans had real estate as a primary or secondary component of collateral. The real estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower and may deteriorate in value during the time the credit is extended. If Eastern Virginia is required to liquidate the collateral securing a loan to satisfy the debt during a period of reduced real estate values, its earnings and capital could be adversely affected.

Risk of loan defaults and foreclosures are unavoidable in the banking industry, and Eastern Virginia tries to limit its exposure to this risk by monitoring its extensions of credit carefully. While the subprime loan problems of the financial industry did not have a direct impact on Eastern Virginia in 2007 and early 2008, the significant economic downturn in the last half of 2008 and continuing into 2009 has increased the risk in its earning asset portfolios. The economy for the near-term is expected to be unsettled with the potential for more downturns. Since Eastern Virginia cannot fully eliminate credit risk and impact of the current economy, credit losses may occur in the future.

Eastern Virginia has a concentration of credit exposure in acquisition and development (“ADC”) real estate loans.

At March 31, 2009, Eastern Virginia had approximately $99.6 million in loans for the acquisition and development of real estate and for construction of improvements to real estate, representing approximately 12.0% of its total loans outstanding as of that date. These loans are to developers, builders and individuals. Project types financed include acquisition and development of residential subdivisions and commercial developments, builder lines for 1-4 family home construction and loans to individuals for primary and secondary residence construction. These types of loans generally are viewed as having more risk of default than residential real estate loans. Completion of development projects and sale of developed properties may be affected significantly by general economic conditions, and further downturn in the local economy or in occupancy rates in the local economy where the property is located could increase the likelihood of default. Because Eastern Virginia’s loan portfolio contains acquisition and development loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in its percentage of non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans could result in a loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for loan losses and an increase in charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on Eastern Virginia’s financial condition and results of operations.

The banking regulators are giving ADC lending greater scrutiny, and may require banks with higher levels of ADC loans to implement improved underwriting, internal controls, risk management policies and portfolio stress testing, as well as possibly higher levels of allowances for losses and capital levels as a result of ADC lending growth and exposures.

At March 31, 2009, Eastern Virginia’s allowance for loan losses was $11.1 million. Of this amount, approximately $2.6 million was allocated to the ADC type loans. Eastern Virginia will continue to monitor this situation and make adjustments as warranted.

Eastern Virginia may be adversely affected by economic conditions in its market area.

Eastern Virginia operates in a mixed market environment with influences from both rural and urban areas. Because its lending operation is concentrated in the Eastern, Richmond and Tidewater areas of Virginia, Eastern Virginia will be affected by the general economic conditions in these markets. Changes in the local economy may influence the growth rate of Eastern Virginia’s loans and deposits, the quality of the loan portfolio, and loan and deposit pricing. A significant decline in general economic conditions caused by inflation, recession, unemployment or other factors beyond Eastern Virginia’s control would impact these local economic conditions and the demand for banking products and services generally, which could negatively affect Eastern Virginia’s financial condition and performance. Although Eastern Virginia might not have significant credit exposure to all the businesses in its areas, the downturn in any of these businesses could have a negative impact on local economic conditions and real estate collateral values generally, which could negatively affect Eastern Virginia’s profitability.

Eastern Virginia’s small to medium-sized business target market may have fewer financial resources to weather a downturn in the economy.

Eastern Virginia targets its commercial development and marketing strategy primarily to serve the banking and financial services needs of small and medium-sized businesses. These businesses generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities. If general economic conditions negatively impact this major economic sector in the markets in which Eastern Virginia operates, its results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Eastern Virginia’s future success is dependent on its ability to compete effectively in the highly competitive banking industry.

Eastern Virginia 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 its market area. A number of these banks and other financial institutions are significantly larger than Eastern Virginia and have substantially 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, Eastern Virginia also competes 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 it can. Many of Eastern Virginia’s non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive regulations that govern it. As a result, these non-bank competitors have advantages over Eastern Virginia in providing certain services. While Eastern Virginia believes it competes effectively with these other financial institutions in its primary markets, it may face a competitive disadvantage as a result of its smaller size, smaller asset base, lack of geographic diversification and inability to spread its marketing costs across a broader market. If Eastern Virginia has to raise interest rates paid on deposits or lower interest rates charged on loans to compete effectively, its net interest margin and income could be negatively affected. Failure to compete effectively to attract new, or to retain existing, clients may reduce or limit Eastern Virginia’s margins and its market share and may adversely affect its results of operations, financial condition and growth.

If Eastern Virginia’s allowance for loan losses becomes inadequate, its results of operations may be adversely affected.

Eastern Virginia maintains an allowance for loan losses that it believes is a reasonable estimate of probable and inherent losses in its loan portfolio. Through a periodic review and consideration of the loan portfolio, management determines the amount of the allowance for loan losses by considering general market conditions, credit quality of the loan portfolio, the collateral supporting the loans and performance of Eastern Virginia’s customers relative to their financial obligations with Eastern Virginia. The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates, which may be beyond Eastern Virginia’s control, and these losses may exceed its current estimates. Rapidly growing loan portfolios are, by their nature, unseasoned. As a result, estimating loan loss allowances is more difficult, and may be more susceptible to changes in estimates, and to losses exceeding estimates, than more seasoned portfolios.

Although Eastern Virginia believes the allowance for loan losses is a reasonable estimate of probable and inherent losses in its loan portfolio, it cannot fully predict such losses or that its loan loss allowance will be adequate in the future. Excessive loan losses could have a material impact on Eastern Virginia’s financial performance. Consistent with its loan loss reserve methodology, Eastern Virginia expects to make additions to its loan loss reserve levels as a result of its loan growth, which may affect its short-term earnings.

Federal and state regulators periodically review Eastern Virginia’s allowance for loan losses and may require it to increase its provision for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of Eastern Virginia’s management. Any increase in the amount of Eastern Virginia’s provision or loans charged-off as required by these regulatory agencies could have a negative effect on its operating results.

Eastern Virginia may not be able to successfully manage its growth, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.

During the last five years, Eastern Virginia has experienced significant growth, and a key aspect of its business strategy is its continued growth and expansion. Eastern Virginia’s ability to continue to grow depends, in part, upon its ability to:

 

   

open new branch offices or acquire existing branches or other financial institutions;

 

   

attract deposits to those locations; and

 

   

identify attractive loan and investment opportunities.

Eastern Virginia may not be able to successfully implement its growth strategy if it is unable to identify attractive markets, locations or opportunities to expand in the future. Eastern Virginia’s ability to manage its growth successfully also will depend on whether it can maintain capital levels adequate to support its growth, maintain cost controls and asset quality and successfully integrate any businesses it acquires into its organization. As Eastern Virginia continues to implement its growth strategy by opening new branches or acquiring branches or other banks, it expects to incur increased personnel, occupancy and other operating expenses. In the case of new branches, Eastern Virginia must absorb those higher expenses while it begins to generate new deposits, and there is a further time lag involved in redeploying new deposits into attractively priced loans and other higher yielding earning assets. Thus, Eastern Virginia’s plans for branch expansion could decrease its earnings in the short run, even if it efficiently executes its branching strategy.

 

27


Table of Contents

Eastern Virginia could sustain losses if its asset quality declines.

Eastern Virginia’s earnings are significantly affected by its ability to properly originate, underwrite and service loans. Eastern Virginia could sustain losses if it incorrectly assesses the creditworthiness of its borrowers or fails to detect or respond to deterioration in asset quality in a timely manner. Problems with asset quality could cause Eastern Virginia’s interest income and net interest margin to decrease and its provisions for loan losses to increase, which could adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.

Eastern Virginia may face risks with respect to de novo banking opportunities and future acquisitions.

As a strategy, Eastern Virginia has sought to increase the size of its franchise by pursuing business development opportunities, and it has grown rapidly since it was formed. As part of that strategy, Eastern Virginia has grown primarily through opening new branches. Eastern Virginia also acquired three branches in 2003, and purchased two branches in the first quarter of 2008. It may acquire other branches or financial institutions in the future, if a desirable opportunity presents itself. Growth through new branches or acquisitions involves a number of risks, including:

 

   

the time and costs associated with identifying and evaluating where Eastern Virginia should open a new branch and who may be a favorable acquisition or merger partner;

 

   

the estimates and judgments used to evaluate credit, operations, management and market risks with respect to any growth opportunity may not be accurate;

 

   

the time and costs of evaluating new markets, hiring experienced local management and opening new offices, and the time lags between these activities and the generation of sufficient assets and deposits to support the costs of the expansion;

 

   

entry into new markets where Eastern Virginia lacks experience;

 

   

Eastern Virginia’s ability to finance an acquisition and possible ownership and economic dilution to its shareholders;

 

   

the diversion of management’s attention to the negotiation of a transaction, and the integration of the operations and personnel of the combining businesses;

 

   

the introduction of new products and services into Eastern Virginia’s business;

 

   

the incurrence and possible impairment of goodwill associated with an acquisition and possible adverse short-term effects on Eastern Virginia’s results of operations; and

 

   

the loss of key employees and clients.

Eastern Virginia may incur substantial costs to expand, and it can give no assurance such expansion will result in the levels of profits it seeks. There can be no assurance that integration efforts for any new branches or future mergers or acquisitions will be successful. Also, Eastern Virginia may issue equity securities, including common stock and securities convertible into shares of its common stock, in connection with future acquisitions, which could cause ownership and economic dilution to its shareholders. There is no assurance that, following any future merger or acquisition, Eastern Virginia’s integration efforts will be successful or it, after giving effect to the acquisition, will achieve profits comparable to or better than its historical experience.

Eastern Virginia’s profitability may suffer because of rapid and unpredictable changes in the highly regulated environment in which it operates.

The banking industry is subject to extensive regulation by state and federal banking authorities. Many of the banking regulations Eastern Virginia is governed by are intended to protect depositors, the public or the insurance fund maintained by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation rather than its shareholders. Banking regulations affect Eastern Virginia’s lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy and many other aspects of its business. These requirements may constrain Eastern Virginia’s rate of growth, and changes in regulations could adversely affect it. The burden imposed by these federal and state regulations may place banks in a competitive disadvantage compared to less regulated competitors. In addition, the cost of compliance with regulatory requirements could adversely affect Eastern Virginia’s ability to operate profitably.

 

28


Table of Contents

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the related rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq that are applicable to Eastern Virginia, have increased the scope, complexity and cost of corporate governance, reporting and disclosure practices, including the cost of completing its audit and maintaining its internal controls. As a result, Eastern Virginia may experience greater compliance costs.

Eastern Virginia may identify a material weakness or a significant deficiency in its internal control over financial reporting that may adversely affect its ability to properly account for non-routine transactions.

As Eastern Virginia has grown and expanded, it has acquired and added, and expects to continue to acquire and add, businesses and other activities that complement its core retail and commercial banking functions. Such acquisitions or additions frequently involve complex operational and financial reporting issues that can influence management’s internal control system. While Eastern Virginia makes every effort to thoroughly understand any new activity or acquired entity’s business processes, its planning for proper integration can give no assurance that it will not encounter operational and financial reporting difficulties impacting its internal control over financial reporting.

If Eastern Virginia needs additional capital in the future to continue its growth, it may not be able to obtain it on terms that are favorable. This could negatively affect Eastern Virginia’s performance and the value of its common stock.

Eastern Virginia’s business strategy calls for continued growth. Eastern Virginia anticipates that it will be able to support this growth through the generation of additional deposits at new branch locations, as well as investment opportunities. However, Eastern Virginia may need to raise additional capital in the future to support its continued growth and to maintain its capital levels. Eastern Virginia’s ability to raise capital through the sale of additional securities will depend primarily upon its financial condition and the condition of financial markets at that time. Eastern Virginia may not be able to obtain additional capital in the amounts or on terms satisfactory to it. Eastern Virginia’s growth may be constrained if it is unable to raise additional capital as needed.

Liquidity needs could adversely affect Eastern Virginia’s results of operations and financial condition.

Eastern Virginia relies on dividends from the bank as its primary source of funds. The primary sources of funds of the bank are client deposits and loan repayments. While scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, they are subject to the ability of borrowers to repay the loans. The ability of borrowers to repay loans can be adversely affected by a number of factors, including changes in economic conditions, adverse trends or events affecting business industry groups, reductions in real estate values or markets, business closings or lay-offs, inclement weather, natural disasters and international instability. Additionally, deposit levels may be affected by a number of factors, including rates paid by competitors, general interest rate levels, regulatory capital requirements, returns available to clients on alternative investments and general economic conditions. Accordingly, Eastern Virginia may be required from time to time to rely on secondary sources of liquidity to meet withdrawal demands or otherwise fund operations. Such sources include Federal Home Loan Bank advances, sales of securities and loans, and federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks, as well as out-of-market time deposits. While Eastern Virginia believes that these sources are currently adequate, there can be no assurance they will be sufficient to meet future liquidity demands, particularly if Eastern Virginia continues to grow and experience increasing loan demand. Eastern Virginia may be required to slow or discontinue loan growth, capital expenditures or other investments or liquidate assets should such sources not be adequate.

Eastern Virginia’s recent results may not be indicative of its future results.

Eastern Virginia may not be able to sustain its historical rate of growth or may not even be able to grow its business at all. In addition, Eastern Virginia’s recent and rapid growth may distort some of its historical financial ratios and statistics. In the future, Eastern Virginia may be subject to various factors that may influence its performance such as the interest rate environment which can have drastic swings that impact its revenue stream and cost of funds, the state of the real estate market and the valuations associated with property that is collateral on loans, or the ability to find suitable expansion opportunities. Other factors, such as economic conditions, regulatory and legislative considerations and competition, may also impede or prohibit Eastern Virginia’s ability to expand its market presence. If it experiences a significant decrease in its historical rate of growth, Eastern Virginia’s results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected due to a high percentage of its operating costs being fixed expenses.

Eastern Virginia depends on the accuracy and completeness of information about clients and counterparties.

In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions with clients and counterparties, Eastern Virginia may rely on information furnished to it by or on behalf of clients and counterparties, including financial statements and other financial information. Eastern Virginia also relies on representations of clients and counterparties as to the accuracy and completeness of that information and, with respect to financial statements, on reports of independent auditors. For example, in deciding whether to extend credit to clients, Eastern Virginia assumes that a customer’s audited financial statements conform with GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the customer. Eastern Virginia’s financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted to the extent it relies on financial statements that do not comply with GAAP or are materially misleading.

A substantial decline in the value of Eastern Virginia’s Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta common stock may result in an other than temporary impairment charge.

Eastern Virginia is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, or FHLB, which enables it to borrow funds under the Federal Home Loan Bank advance program. As a FHLB member, Eastern Virginia is required to own FHLB common stock, the amount of which increases with the level of our FHLB borrowings. The carrying value and fair market value of Eastern Virginia’s FHLB common stock was $7.5 million as of March 31, 2009. On January 30, 2009, the FHLB announced that in light of the FHLB’s other-than-temporary impairment analysis it was still completing for the fourth quarter of 2008, the FHLB deferred the declaration of the fourth quarter dividend. The FHLB has also suspended daily repurchases of FHLB common stock, which adversely affects the liquidity of these shares. Consequently, there is a risk that Eastern Virginia’s investment could be deemed other than temporarily impaired at some time in the future.

Increases in FDIC insurance premiums may cause Eastern Virginia’s earnings to decrease.

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 temporarily increased the limit on FDIC coverage to $250,000 for all accounts through December 31, 2009. As a result, the FDIC almost doubled its assessment rate on well-capitalized institutions by raising the assessment rate 7 basis points at the beginning of 2009. The FDIC has adopted another final rule effective April 1, 2009, to change the way that the FDIC’s assessment system differentiates for risk, make corresponding changes to assessment rates beginning with the second quarter of 2009, as well as other changes to the deposit insurance assessment rules. In May 2009, the Board of Directors of the FDIC voted to levy a special assessment of five basis points on an FDIC-insured depository institution’s assets, minus Tier 1 capital, as of June 30, 2009. The special assessment will be capped at 10 basis points of an institution’s domestic deposits. Eastern Virginia is also participating in the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, or TLG, for noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts. Banks that participate in the TLG’s noninterest bearing transaction account guarantee will pay the FDIC an annual assessment of 10 basis points on the amounts in such accounts above the amounts covered by FDIC deposit insurance. To the extent that these TLG assessments are insufficient to cover any loss or expenses arising from the TLG program, the FDIC is authorized to impose an emergency special assessment on FDIC-insured depository institutions. Legislation has been proposed to give the FDIC authority to impose charges for the TLG program upon depository institution holding companies, as well. These changes, along with the full utilization of our FDIC insurance assessment credit in early 2009, will cause the premiums and TLG assessments charged by the FDIC to increase. These actions could significantly increase Eastern Virginia’s noninterest expense in 2009 and for the foreseeable future.

Declines in value may adversely impact the investment securities portfolio.

Eastern Virginia may be required to record other-than-temporary impairment charges on its investment securities if they suffer a decline in value that is considered other-than-temporary. Numerous factors, including lack of liquidity for re-sales of certain investment securities, absence of reliable pricing information for certain investment securities, adverse changes in business climate, adverse actions by regulators, or unanticipated changes in the competitive environment could have a negative effect on Eastern Virginia’s securities portfolio in future periods. An other-than-temporary impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on Eastern Virginia’s results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Associated with First Capital

Difficult market conditions have adversely affected First Capital’s industry.

Dramatic declines in the housing market over the past year, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures, unemployment and under-employment, have negatively impacted the credit performance of real estate related loans and resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions. These write-downs, initially of asset-backed securities, but spreading to other securities and loans, have caused many financial institutions to seek additional capital, to reduce or eliminate dividends, to merge with larger and stronger institutions and, in some cases, to fail. Reflecting concern about the stability of the financial markets generally and the strength of counterparties, many lenders and institutional investors have reduced or ceased providing funding to borrowers, including to other financial institutions. This market turmoil and tightening of credit have led to an increased level of commercial and consumer delinquencies, lack of consumer confidence, increased market volatility and widespread reduction of business activity generally. The resulting economic pressure on consumers and lack of confidence in the financial markets has adversely affected First Capital’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Market developments may affect consumer confidence levels and may cause adverse changes in payment patterns, causing increases in delinquencies and default rates, which may impact First Capital’s charge-offs and provision for credit losses.

First Capital’s concentration in loans secured by real estate may increase its credit losses, which would negatively affect its financial results.

First Capital offers a variety of secured loans, including commercial lines of credit, commercial term loans, real estate, construction, home equity, consumer and other loans. Many of First Capital’s loans are secured by real estate (both residential and commercial) in its market area. Consequently, a decline in local economic conditions may have a greater effect on First Capital’s financial condition and operating results than on the financial condition and operating results of larger financial institutions whose real estate loan portfolios are geographically diverse.

In addition, First Capital has a large concentration of loans secured with real estate collateral. At December 31, 2008, approximately 84.8% of First Capital’s loans had real estate as a primary or secondary component of collateral. The real estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower and may deteriorate in value during the time the credit is extended. If First Capital is required to liquidate the collateral securing a loan to satisfy the debt during a period of reduced real estate values, its financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Risk of loan defaults and foreclosures are unavoidable in the banking industry, and First Capital tries to limit its exposure to this risk by monitoring its extensions of credit carefully. While the subprime loan problems of the financial industry did not have a direct impact on First Capital in 2007 and early 2008, the significant economic downtown in the last half of 2008 and continuing into 2009 has increased the risk in its earning asset portfolios. The economy for the near-term is expected to be unsettled with the potential for more downturns, which could increase credit losses in the future.

First Capital has a concentration of credit exposure in acquisition and development (“ADC”) real estate loans.

At March 31, 2009, First Capital had approximately $83.1 million in loans for the acquisition and development of real estate and for construction of improvements to real estate, representing approximately 22.0% of its total loans outstanding as of that date. These loans are to developers, builders and individuals. Project types financed include acquisition and development of residential subdivisions and commercial developments, builder lines for 1-4 family home construction and loans to individuals for primary and secondary residence construction. These types of loans generally are viewed as having more risk of default than residential

real estate loans. Completion of development projects and sale of developed properties may be affected significantly by general economic conditions, and further downturn in the local economy or in occupancy rates in the local economy where the property is located could increase the likelihood of default. Because First Capital’s loan portfolio contains acquisition and development loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in its percentage of non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans could result in a loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for loan losses and an increase in charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on First Capital’s financial condition and results of operations.

The banking regulators are giving ADC lending greater scrutiny, and may require banks with higher levels of ADC loans to implement improved underwriting, internal controls, risk management policies and portfolio stress testing, as well as possibly higher levels of allowances for losses and capital levels as a result of ADC lending growth and exposures. Such requirements could adversely effect First Capital’s results of operations.

At March 31, 2009, First Capital’s allowance for loan losses was $5.1 million. Of this amount, approximately $2.2 million was allocated to the ADC type loans.

First Capital’s small to medium-sized business target market may have fewer financial resources to weather a downturn in the economy.

First Capital targets its commercial development and marketing strategy primarily to serve the banking and financial services needs of small and medium-sized businesses. These businesses generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities. If general economic conditions negatively impact this major economic sector in the markets in which First Capital operates, First Capital’s results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

If First Capital’s allowance for loan losses becomes inadequate, its results of operations may be adversely affected.

First Capital maintains an allowance for loan losses that it believes is a reasonable estimate of probable and inherent losses in its loan portfolio. Through a periodic review and consideration of the loan portfolio, management determines the amount of the allowance for loan losses by considering general market conditions, credit quality of the loan portfolio, the collateral supporting the loans and performance of First Capital’s customers relative to their financial obligations with First Capital. The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates, which may be beyond First Capital’s control, and these losses may exceed its current estimates. Rapidly growing loan portfolios are, by their nature, unseasoned. As a result, estimating loan loss allowances is more difficult, and may be more susceptible to changes in estimates, and to losses exceeding estimates, than more seasoned portfolios.

Although First Capital believes the allowance for loan losses is a reasonable estimate of probable and inherent losses in its loan portfolio, it cannot fully predict such losses or that its loan loss allowance will be adequate in the future. Excessive loan losses could have a material impact on First Capital’s financial performance. Consistent with its loan loss reserve methodology, First Capital expects to make additions to its loan loss reserve levels as a result of its loan growth, which may affect its short-term earnings.

Federal and state regulators periodically review First Capital’s allowance for loan losses and may require it to increase its provision for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of First Capital’s management. Any increase in the amount of First Capital’s provision or loans charged-off as required by these regulatory agencies could have a negative effect on its operating results.

If you make no specification on your returned proxy card, your proxy will be voted “FOR” the matters to be considered at the special meeting as described above.

Solicitation of Proxies

First Capital will bear the entire cost of soliciting proxies from you. In addition to solicitation of proxies by mail, we will request banks, brokers and other record holders to send proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of the stock and secure their voting instructions, if necessary.

Record Date and Voting Rights

In accordance with Virginia law, First Capital’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and the Nasdaq Capital Market rules, we have fixed July 6, 2009 as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting. Accordingly, you are only entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting if you were a record holder of First Capital common stock at the close of business on the record date. At that time, 2,971,171 shares of First Capital common stock were outstanding, held by approximately 678 holders of record. To have a

quorum that permits us to conduct business at the special meeting, we require the presence, whether in person or through the prior submission of a proxy, of the holders of First Capital common stock representing a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the record date. You are entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of First Capital common stock you held as of the close of business on the record date.

Holders of shares of First Capital common stock present in person at the special meeting but not voting, and shares of First Capital common stock for which we have received proxies indicating that their holders have abstained, will be counted as present at the special meeting for purposes of determining whether we have a quorum for transacting business.

Approval of the adjournment of the meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of First Capital common stock cast at the meeting, whether or not a quorum is present.

Because approval of the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of First Capital common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against these matters. Accordingly, the First Capital board of directors urges you to complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy and return it promptly in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope.

The holder of preferred stock of First Capital, which is currently held by the U.S. Treasury, must approve the merger agreement, the merger and the related transactions as a separate voting group. First Capital intends to obtain the U.S. Treasury’s approval of the merger as soon as practicable, other than through this joint proxy statement/prospectus. While we do not know of any reason why First Capital would not be able to obtain the U.S. Treasury’s approval in a timely manner, we cannot be certain when or if we will receive it.

Recommendation of the First Capital Board of Directors

The First Capital board of directors has approved the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby.

PROPOSAL I—APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AND RELATED MATTERS

This summary of the material terms and provisions of the merger agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to that agreement. The merger agreement is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. We incorporate this document into this summary by reference.

Merger

Subject to satisfaction or waiver of all conditions in the merger agreement, First Capital will merge with and into Eastern Virginia. Upon completion of the merger, First Capital’s corporate existence will terminate.

Merger Consideration

Each share of First Capital common stock will be converted in the merger into 0.98 shares of Eastern Virginia common stock.

The amount and nature of the merger consideration was established through arm’s-length negotiations between Eastern Virginia and First Capital and their respective advisors, and reflects the balancing of a number of countervailing factors. The total amount of the merger consideration reflects a price both parties concluded was appropriate. The parties structured the merger to have the favorable tax attributes of a “reorganization” for federal income tax purposes.

Background of the Merger

In October 2008, in conjunction with the hiring of John M. Presley as the new Chief Executive Officer, certain members of the board of directors and management of First Capital held internal discussions related to the strategic direction of the company, including but not limited to, potential acquisitions, potential sources of capital, merger partners and strategic partnerships. As a result of these internal discussions, First Capital identified Eastern Virginia as a potential merger or strategic partner for First Capital. Robert G. Watts, President of First Capital, had known Joe A. Shearin, President and CEO of Eastern Virginia, for several years and scheduled a meeting on November 14, 2008 to introduce Mr. Presley to Mr. Shearin. During the meeting, the Messrs. Watts, Presley and Shearin discussed the direction and future of each company and agreed that each company would learn more about the other and explore the possibility of working together in some capacity going forward.

On January 5 and 6, 2009, Mr. Presley and Mr. Watts met with Mr. Shearin and Joe James, Chief Operating Officer of Eastern Virginia, and Ronald Blevins, Chief Financial Officer of Eastern Virginia. The group discussed current banking opportunities in central Virginia, the possible combination of the two companies, and potential organizational issues in connection with a strategic partnership, including management and board participation.

On January 14, 2009, Messrs. Shearin and Blevins had a conference call with representatives of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW”) to discuss the potential combination. Management of Eastern Virginia made a preliminary report at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Eastern Virginia Board of Directors on January 15, 2009, at which point the Eastern Virginia Board of Directors agreed to proceed with investigating the transaction and informally engaged KBW to represent Eastern Virginia. Representatives of KBW then met with Messrs. Presley, Watts, Shearin, James and Blevins on January 16, 2009 and made a presentation regarding the potential transaction for both companies’ consideration. On January 21, 2009, the KBW presentation was provided to the First Capital Board of Directors at its regularly scheduled meeting. The First Capital Board of Directors agreed to proceed with further investigation of the possible transaction and decided to engage Burke Capital Group (“Burke”), a division of Morgan Keegan, to represent First Capital and to engage Davenport & Company LLC (“Davenport”) to render a fairness opinion should the parties reach agreement on a transaction.

The discussions between First Capital and Eastern Virginia continued into February 2009. On February 18, 2009, Burke presented its analysis of the transaction at the regularly scheduled meeting of the First Capital Board of Directors. After discussion, the First Capital Board of Directors voted to authorize the management of First Capital to proceed with a due diligence investigation of Eastern Virginia and a possible transaction.

On February 19, 2009, KBW presented its analysis of the transaction at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Eastern Virginia Board of Directors, who approved management of Eastern Virginia to proceed with due diligence. On Wednesday, February 25, 2009, Mr. Presley and Mr. Watts met with Robert Mizell of Davenport and formally engaged Davenport to render a fairness opinion if the parties could reach an agreement.

During the first week of March 2009, the firm of Thurmond, Clower & Associates (“Thurmond, Clower”) performed a due diligence analysis of the First Capital and Eastern Virginia loan portfolios. Following the Thurmond, Clower review, Messrs. Shearin, Blevins and Thomas met with Tom Thurmond, President of Thurmond, Clower, to review the results of the loan portfolio due diligence. Mr. Thurmond then met with members of First Capital’s senior management team.

During the first week of March, due diligence documents were exchanged between the respective parties, and on March 10, and 11, 2009, each party and their respective advisors and representatives conducted due diligence of the other party at the offices of KBW in Richmond, Virginia. On March 13, 2009, Messrs. Shearin, Presley and Watts met with the primary federal and state regulators for each company to advise them of the potential transaction between the two companies.

On March 18, 2009, the First Capital Board of Directors had a regularly scheduled meeting at which the potential transaction was discussed, along with the results of First Capital’s due diligence investigation of Eastern Virginia. The First Capital Board of Directors authorized management to proceed with the negotiation of a definitive agreement. On March 19, 2009, the Eastern Virginia Board of Directors held a meeting at which KBW presented an updated presentation and the Eastern Virginia Board discussed the transaction and due diligence findings and authorized management to continue with the negotiation of a definitive agreement.

Between March 19 and March 25, 2009, the parties analyzed documentation for the proposed transaction. On March 26, 2009, management of Eastern Virginia, First Capital and their respective advisors and representatives met to discuss, negotiate and finalize the merger agreement. At this meeting, the parties reached agreement on all of the key points related to the transaction. Between March 27 and April 1, 2009, the parties continued to negotiate revisions to the documentation.

On April 2, 2009, the Eastern Virginia Board of Directors met to discuss the final terms of the merger agreement and the transaction and hear presentations by management, KBW and Williams Mullen, including a fairness opinion by KBW. After discussion and consideration of the factors described in “Eastern Virginia’s Reasons for the Merger,” the Eastern Virginia Board of Directors then voted unanimously to approve the transaction and authorized management to execute the merger agreement.

Also on April 2, 2009, the First Capital Board of Directors met to discuss the merger agreement and the transaction. The meeting was attended by all but one of the First Capital directors. Following presentations from management, Burke and Cantor Arkema, Davenport presented the First Capital Board with a fairness opinion on the transaction. Following the various presentations and additional discussion and consideration of the factors described under “First Capital’s Reasons for the Merger,” all of the First Capital directors present voted to approve the transaction and authorized management to execute the merger agreement.

On April 3, 2009, the merger agreement was executed by both parties and the transaction was disclosed to the public before the market opened at 9:30 a.m.

Eastern Virginia’s Reasons for the Merger

In reaching its decision to initially propose and thereafter approve the merger agreement and recommend the merger to its shareholders, Eastern Virginia’s board of directors consulted with Eastern Virginia’s management, as well as with its outside financial and legal advisors, reviewed various financial data, due diligence and evaluation materials, and made an independent determination that the proposed merger with First Capital was in the best interests of Eastern Virginia and its shareholders. Eastern Virginia’s board of directors considered a number of positive factors that it believes support its recommendation that Eastern Virginia’s shareholders approve the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, including:

 

   

the transaction conforms with Eastern Virginia’s long term goals of enhancing shareholder value, diversifying credit risk, broadening its customer base for loans and deposits and broadening its market penetration;

The risks and factors considered included:

 

   

the possibility that the merger and the related integration process could result in the loss of key employees, in the disruption of Eastern Virginia’s on-going business, and in the loss of customers;

 

   

the potential risk of diverting management’s focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters while working to implement the merger;

 

   

interest rate changes and short term asset-liability adjustments; and

 

   

the risks of the type and nature described under “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”

The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by Eastern Virginia’s board is not intended to be exhaustive, but is believed to include all material factors considered by Eastern Virginia’s board. In view of the wide variety of

factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger and the complexity of these matters, Eastern Virginia’s board of directors did not find it useful and did not attempt to quantify or assign any relative or specific weight to the various factors that it considered in reaching its determination to initially propose and thereafter approve the merger and recommend that Eastern Virginia’s shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby. In addition, individual members of Eastern Virginia’s board of directors may have given differing weights to different factors. Eastern Virginia’s board of directors conducted an overall analysis of the factors described above, including thorough discussions with Eastern Virginia management and outside financial and legal advisors and considered the factors overall to be favorable and to support its determination to approve the merger and recommend that Eastern Virginia’s shareholders approve the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby.

It should be noted that this explanation of Eastern Virginia’s board of directors’ reasoning and the other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Based on the foregoing, Eastern Virginia’s board of directors unanimously determined that the merger, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are in the best interests of Eastern Virginia and its shareholders. Eastern Virginia’s board of directors unanimously recommends that Eastern Virginia’s shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby.

First Capital’s Reasons for the Merger

In reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and recommend the merger to its shareholders, the First Capital board of directors consulted with First Capital’s management, as well as with its outside financial and legal advisors, reviewed various financial data, due diligence and evaluation materials, and made an independent determination that the proposed merger with EVB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eastern Virginia, was in the best interests of First Capital and its shareholders. The board of directors considered a number of positive factors that it believes support its recommendation that First Capital’s shareholders approve the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, including:

 

   

the premium over First Capital’s prevailing stock price to be received by First Capital’s shareholders;

 

   

the financial analysis and presentation of Davenport and its opinion that, as of April 2, 2009, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to First Capital (see “—Opinion of First Capital’s Financial Advisor” beginning on page 45);

 

   

its belief that the terms of the merger agreement with Eastern Virginia are reasonable and fair to the shareholders of First Capital;

 

   

the difficulty in remaining independent in the central Virginia market and continuing to enhance shareholder value in the face of unprecedented economic uncertainty;

 

   

the ability of First Capital shareholders to retain a voice in management oversight by having 5 of the company’s directors on the board of the combined entity and eight of the company’s directors on the bank’s board;

 

   

its belief, based upon the analysis of the anticipated financial effects of the merger, that upon consummation of the merger, Eastern Virginia and its banking subsidiary would remain well-capitalized institutions, the financial positions of which would be in excess of all applicable regulatory capital requirements;

 

   

its belief that Eastern Virginia was an attractive choice as a long-term affiliation partner of First Capital, based on contiguous primary market areas, complementary primary business lines, and similar operating philosophies and corporate cultures;

 

   

the financial terms of recent business combinations in the financial services industry and a comparison of the multiples paid in selected business combinations with the terms of the merger;

 

42


Table of Contents
   

its belief that the merger will create a larger and more diversified organization offering a broader array of financial services, and with a higher combined legal lending limit, that is better positioned to compete and grow its business;

 

   

its knowledge and analysis of the current competitive and regulatory environment for financial institutions generally, First Capital’s current competitive position and the other, less favorable strategic growth alternatives available to First Capital including remaining independent, accelerating branch growth, making acquisitions, developing or acquiring non-bank businesses and selling First Capital to certain other financial institutions;

 

   

its review of Eastern Virginia’s financial condition, earnings, business operations and prospects, taking into account the results of First Capital’s due diligence investigation of Eastern Virginia, and its belief that Eastern Virginia is a high quality financial services company with a compatible business culture and shared approach to customer service and increasing shareholder value;

 

   

the assessment of the likelihood that the merger would be completed in a timely manner without unacceptable regulatory conditions or requirements, including that no branch divestitures would likely be required, and the ability of the management team to successfully integrate and operate the business of the combined company after the merger;

 

   

the fact that the merger will enable First Capital’s shareholders to exchange their shares of First Capital, in a tax-free transaction, for registered shares of common stock of a company that will have a significantly larger pro forma market capitalization and that will potentially provide First Capital shareholders with a greater ability to sell their shares quickly and efficiently;

 

   

the merger preserves the ability of First Capital shareholders to receive a control premium for their shares at a future date via their continuing ownership in the combined institution; and

 

   

the merger will enhance First Capital’s geographic diversification by expanding its presence beyond the Richmond market.

The First Capital board of directors also considered the risks and potentially negative factors outlined below, but concluded that the anticipated benefits of combining with Eastern Virginia were likely to outweigh substantially these risks and factors. The risks and factors considered included:

 

   

the possibility that the merger and the related integration process could result in the loss of key employees, in the disruption of First Capital’s on-going business, and in the loss of customers;

 

   

the potential risk of diverting management’s focus and resources from other strategic opportunities and from operational matters while working to implement the merger;

 

   

the matters described in “—Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger” below; and

 

   

the risks of the type and nature described under “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”

The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by First Capital’s board is not intended to be exhaustive, but is believed to include all material factors considered by First Capital’s board. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the merger and the complexity of these matters, the First Capital board of directors did not find it useful and did not attempt to quantify or assign any relative or specific weight to the various factors that it considered in reaching its determination to approve the merger and recommend that First Capital’s shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Opinion of First Capital’s Financial Advisor

First Capital engaged Davenport to render a written opinion to First Capital’s board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be paid to First Capital’s shareholders in accordance with a potential merger. In requesting Davenport’s advice and opinion, no restrictions or limitations were imposed by First Capital upon Davenport with respect to the investigations made or the procedures followed by Davenport in rendering its opinion.

Davenport is a regional investment banking firm. As part of its investment banking business, Davenport is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, underwritings, sales and distributions of listed and unlisted securities and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. Davenport was selected by First Capital to act as its financial advisor because of Davenport’s expertise in valuing and advising financial institutions in merger and acquisition transactions and because Davenport was familiar with First Capital and its business.

On April 2, 2009, Davenport reviewed the financial aspects of the proposed merger with First Capital’s board of directors and delivered its opinion to First Capital’s board of directors to the effect that, as of that date, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in the opinion, the merger consideration to be received by the shareholders of First Capital pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view.

The full text of the Davenport opinion, which describes, among other things, the assumptions made, matters considered, and the limitations on the review undertaken, is attached to this document as Annex B and is incorporated in this document by reference. The description of the Davenport opinion set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Davenport opinion in Annex B. First Capital’s shareholders are urged to read the Davenport opinion carefully and in its entirety.

The Davenport opinion is directed only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be received by First Capital’s shareholders. It does not address the underlying business decision of First Capital to engage in the merger or any other aspect of the merger. Further, the Davenport opinion is not a recommendation to any First Capital shareholder as to how he or she should vote with regard to the merger. Davenport was not retained as an advisor or agent to First Capital’s shareholders or any other person, and it is acting only as an advisor to First Capital’s board. The Davenport opinion does not express any opinion about the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to First Capital’s officers, directors, employees or class of such persons, relative to compensation to the public shareholders of First Capital. In accordance with internal procedures adopted pursuant to FINRA rules and regulations, Davenport’s fairness opinion was approved by a fairness committee of Davenport.

In arriving at its opinion, Davenport, among other things:

 

   

reviewed the merger agreement dated as of April 2, 2009;

 

   

reviewed certain business, financial, and other information regarding First Capital and its prospects that was furnished to it by the management of First Capital and that it discussed with the management of First Capital;

 

   

reviewed certain business, financial, and other information regarding Eastern Virginia and its prospects that was furnished to it by the management of Eastern Virginia and that it discussed with the management of Eastern Virginia;

 

   

reviewed the publicly reported historical price and trading activity for First Capital’s and Eastern Virginia’s common stock;

 

   

compared certain business, financial and other information regarding First Capital and Eastern Virginia with similar information regarding certain other publicly traded companies which it deemed to be relevant;

 

   

compared the proposed financial terms of the merger with the financial terms of various other mergers and acquisitions of financial institutions in recent years;

 

45


Table of Contents
   

reviewed the pro forma financial impact of the merger on First Capital and Eastern Virginia, based on assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase accounting adjustments and cost savings determined by the senior management of First Capital and Eastern Virginia;

 

   

reviewed the relative contribution of assets, liabilities, equity and earnings of First Capital and Eastern Virginia to the resulting institution and the relative pro forma ownership of the shareholders of First Capital and Eastern Virginia in the combined company; and

 

   

considered other information such as financial studies, analyses, and investigations as well as financial and economic and market criteria that it deemed appropriate.

Davenport also reviewed First Capital’s plan to issue, in exchange for gross proceeds of approximately $11 million, First Capital Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to acquire common stock pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program established by the U.S. Treasury. The issuance by First Capital was subsequently consummated on April 3, 2009. Davenport also held discussions with the management of Eastern Virginia concerning its recent issuance of preferred shares pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program and recent write-downs in Eastern Virginia’s investment portfolio, including the possibility that such write-downs could result in other-than-temporary-impairment charges.

In rendering its opinion, Davenport assumed and relied upon the accuracy, completeness and fairness of all of the financial and other information that was available to it from public sources, that was provided to it by First Capital and Eastern Virginia or their representatives, or that was otherwise reviewed by it. Davenport did not attempt or assume any responsibility to independently verify any of the information reviewed by it. Davenport is not an expert in the evaluation of loan portfolios for the purpose of assessing the adequacy of allowances for losses, and it assumed that First Capital’s and Eastern Virginia’s respective allowances are, in the aggregate, adequate. First Capital and Eastern Virginia retained the services of a third-party loan review specialist to assist them with their respective loan portfolio due diligence. Davenport did not review any individual credit files or make any independent evaluation, appraisal or physical inspection of the assets, liabilities or individual properties of First Capital or Eastern Virginia, nor was Davenport furnished with any evaluation or appraisal of their assets, liabilities or properties.

With respect to the financial forecast information furnished to or discussed with Davenport by First Capital or Eastern Virginia, Davenport assumed that such financial forecast information had been reasonably prepared and reflected the best currently available estimates and judgment of First Capital’s or Eastern Virginia’s management as to the expected future financial performance of First Capital or Eastern Virginia, respectively. Davenport assumed no responsibility for and expressed no view as to any such forecasts or estimates or the assumptions upon which they were based. This forward-looking information, as well as the other estimates used by Davenport in its analyses, were based on numerous variables and assumptions which are inherently uncertain and, accordingly, actual results could vary materially from those set forth in such forecasts.

Davenport assumed that there had been no material change in First Capital’s and Eastern Virginia’s assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects or other financial information since the date of the last financial information made available to it, that First Capital and Eastern Virginia will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to its analyses, and that the merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. Davenport also assumed that the merger will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger agreement and that the merger will be accounted for as a purchase under generally accepted accounting principles. The Davenport opinion is necessarily based on economic, market, financial and other conditions as they existed on, and on the information made available to Davenport as of, the date of the Davenport opinion. Davenport does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion or otherwise comment on any events occurring after the date of its opinion.

The Davenport opinion was just one of the many factors taken into consideration by First Capital’s board of directors in determining to approve the merger agreement. (See “—Background of the Merger” and “—First Capital’s Reasons for the Merger.”) The Davenport opinion does not address the relative merits of the merger as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for First Capital, nor does it address the effect of any other business combination in which First Capital might engage. The Davenport opinion was not an expression of an opinion as to the prices at which shares of Eastern Virginia common stock or First Capital common stock would trade following the announcement of the merger or the actual value of the Eastern Virginia common shares when issued pursuant to the merger, or the prices at which the Eastern Virginia common shares will trade following the completion of the merger.

Table of Contents

In connection with rendering its opinion, Davenport performed a variety of financial analyses. The following is a summary of the material analyses presented to First Capital’s board of directors at its April 2, 2009 meeting. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. The summary set forth below does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Davenport, but describes, in summary form, the principal elements of the presentation made by Davenport to First Capital’s board of directors on April 2, 2009. The preparation of a fairness opinion involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, such an opinion is not readily susceptible to a partial analysis or summary description. Each of the analyses conducted by Davenport was carried out in order to provide a different perspective on the transaction and add to the total mix of information available.

Davenport did not form a conclusion as to whether any individual analysis, considered in isolation, supported or failed to support an opinion as to fairness from a financial point of view. Rather, in reaching its conclusion, Davenport considered the results of the analyses in light of each other and ultimately reached its opinion based on the results of all analyses taken as a whole. Davenport did not place particular reliance or weight on any individual analysis, but instead concluded that its analyses, taken as a whole, supported its determination. Accordingly, notwithstanding the separate factors summarized below, Davenport believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and the factors considered by it, without considering all analyses and factors, could create an incomplete or misleading view of the evaluation process underlying its opinion.

In performing its analyses, Davenport made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic and market conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of First Capital and Eastern Virginia. The projections and other information used in the analyses performed by Davenport are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by the projections and other information used in the analyses, and the results of such analyses.

Transaction Summary. Davenport reviewed the terms of the proposed merger including the aggregate transaction value. As is more specifically set forth in the merger agreement, upon consummation of the merger, each holder of First Capital common stock will be entitled to receive consideration of 0.98 shares of Eastern Virginia common stock per share of First Capital common.

Transaction multiples from the merger were based upon the closing price of Eastern Virginia’s common stock on March 31, 2009 of $8.39 per share, a fixed exchange ratio of 0.98, representing $8.22 per share, the exchange of all of First Capital’s shares into shares of Eastern Virginia and based upon per share financial data as of and for the last twelve months (“LTM”) ended December 31, 2008 for First Capital. This per share value resulted in implied total transaction value of approximately $24.6 million. Based on the per share deal price of $8.22, Davenport calculated the premium over First Capital’s closing price of $5.75 as of March 31, 2009 to be 43.0%, the price to book value to be 0.69x, the price to 2008 earnings per share to be 137.0x, the price to 2009 First Call (a nationally recognized earnings estimate consolidator for publicly traded companies) estimated earnings per share to be 58.7x and the tangible book premium to core (non-jumbo) deposits to be -5.0%.

Analysis of Certain Other Publicly Traded Companies. To provide contextual data and comparative market information, Davenport compared selected financial information for Eastern Virginia to the corresponding publicly available information of certain other peer group companies whose securities are publicly traded. The peer group companies were chosen because they possess general business, operating and financial characteristics representative of companies in the region and the industry in which Eastern Virginia operates. The peer group companies were comprised of Virginia banks traded on the NYSE, Nasdaq or AMEX, with total assets ranging from approximately $600 million to $3.0 billion. The peer group companies were: Access National Corporation, American National Bankshares Inc., C&F Financial Corporation, Cardinal Financial Corporation, Commonwealth Bankshares, Inc., First Community Bancshares, Inc., Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc., Middleburg Financial Corporation, Monarch Financial Holdings, Inc., National Bankshares, Inc., Old Point Financial Corporation, StellarOne Corporation, TowneBank, Union Bankshares Corporation, Valley Financial Corporation and Virginia Commerce Bancorp, Inc.

To perform this analysis, Davenport used the most recent financial information available as of December 31, 2008 for each of the peer group companies. Market price information was as of March 31, 2009. The following table summarizes the relevant data items for Eastern Virginia and the peer group.

In addition, Davenport compared selected financial information for First Capital to the corresponding publicly available information of certain other peer group companies whose securities are publicly traded. The peer group companies were chosen because they possess general business, operating and financial characteristics representative of companies in the region and the industry in which First Capital operates. The peer group companies were comprised of Virginia banks traded on the NYSE, Nasdaq or AMEX, with total assets ranging from approximately $300 million to $600 million. The peer group companies were: Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc., Bay Banks of Virginia, Inc., Benchmark Bankshares, Inc., Central Virginia Bankshares, Inc., Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc., Eagle Financial Services, Inc., F & M Bank Corp., Fauquier Bankshares, Inc., First National Corporation, Millennium Bankshares Corporation, Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation, Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc., Village Bank and Trust Financial Corp. and Virginia National Bank.

To perform this analysis, Davenport used the most recent financial information available as of December 31, 2008 for each of the peer group companies. Market price information was as of March 31, 2009. The following table summarizes the relevant data items for First Capital and the peer group.

Relative Contribution Analysis. Davenport analyzed the relative contributions to be made by First Capital and Eastern Virginia to the combined institution based on balance sheet data as of December 31, 2008, projected net income for the year ending December 31, 2009 provided by First Capital and Eastern Virginia management and market capitalization data as of March 31, 2009. Davenport compared such contributions to the ownership stake that First Capital shareholders would have in the combined institution, based on the exchange ratio of 0.98 shares of Eastern Virginia common stock for each share of First Capital common stock. In addition, Davenport calculated the implied exchange ratio under the various contribution percentages and showed the percentage premium that the exchange ratio of 0.98 represents over the implied exchange ratios. This information is presented in the following table.

Stock Trading History of Eastern Virginia. Davenport reviewed the history of the distribution of the reported trading prices of Eastern Virginia’s common stock as a percentage of the total number of shares of Eastern Virginia common stock traded for the one-year period ended March 30, 2009 and the reported trading volume of Eastern Virginia’s common stock over the same period. During the one year period, the average daily trading volume of Eastern Virginia common stock was approximately 2,300 shares and the number of shares traded represented 9.8% of the total number of Eastern Virginia common shares outstanding.

Davenport also reviewed, for each trading day during the fifteen months ended March 31, 2009, the implied transaction price premium to First Capital shareholders, which was calculated by multiplying the closing price of the common stock of Eastern Virginia by the exchange ratio of 0.98 and comparing the result to the closing price of the common stock of First Capital. This analysis presented the implied market price premium over a period of time versus a single point in time. The average implied premium over the period was 37.4% as compared to the premium of 43.0% on March 31, 2009.

Comparable Bank Acquisition Analysis. Davenport compared the merger details to a selected group of acquisition transactions in the banking industry. The transactions selected were a group of 39 bank merger transactions announced since September 30, 2008 involving commercial banks headquartered in the United States where the target had total assets less than $1.0 billion. Although the target’s total assets were slightly above $1.0 billion, Davenport also included the merger of Union Bankshares Corp. and First Market Bank FSB in the group of comparable transactions due to the transaction’s recent announcement and the geographic proximity of the associated banks with Eastern Virginia and First Capital. Davenport compared the multiples from the merger to both the median of the 39 transaction multiples announced since September 30, 2008 and the median of the 19 comparable transaction multiples announced since December 31, 2008, given the recent turmoil in the banking industry and the recent downward trend in transaction pricing multiples. Davenport compared the transaction price per common share to the closing market price of the acquired company one day prior to the announcement of the transaction. Davenport also reviewed the following median transaction value multiples for the transactions listed above: price to the last twelve months earnings per share; price to book value; price to tangible book value; and tangible book premium to core deposits. Median transaction multiples were labeled non-meaningful (NM) if less than five transactions had available financial data with which to calculate a median. The median multiples for these transactions are summarized in the table below along with the implied multiples for First Capital based on the proposed merger and an assumed purchase price of $8.22.

Accretion/Dilution Analyses. Based on the exchange ratio of 0.98 shares of Eastern Virginia common stock for each share of First Capital common stock, Davenport calculated the pro forma core earnings per share, book value per share, tangible book value per share and dividend per share as if the merger had been completed on December 31, 2008 and compared the results to those measures assuming no merger. This analysis was based on estimated earnings per share for 2009 and 2010, book value and tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2008, and the stated quarterly dividend of Eastern Virginia as of March 31, 2009. The analysis assumed pre-tax cost synergies of $2.5 million, with 25% realized in 2009 and 100% realized in 2010. For purposes of this analysis, core EPS excludes the impact of nonrecurring merger related expenses or any fair value purchase accounting adjustments to First Capital carrying values other than the amortization of the core deposit intangibles. This information is presented in the following tables.

Discounted Dividend Analysis. Using a discounted dividend analysis, Davenport estimated the present value of the future stream of earnings First Capital could produce through December 31, 2013. The forecast assumed that First Capital did not pay a dividend to its common shareholders throughout the forecast period. Davenport then estimated the terminal values for First Capital stock at the end of the period by applying a multiple of 12.0x projected earnings in 2013. The dividends and terminal value were then discounted to present values using various discount rates (ranging from 11.0% to 15.0%) chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding the required rates of return to holders of prospective buyers of First Capital common stock. This discounted dividend analysis provided a range of present values from $9.73 to $11.52 per share of First Capital stock.

Davenport also performed a discounted dividend analysis on the per share stock price of First Capital on a pro forma combined basis with Eastern Virginia. The key assumptions included annual cost savings equal to $2.5 million, 25% of which were phased in during 2009, and an annual Eastern Virginia dividend per share of $0.64 paid each year throughout the forecast period. This discounted dividend analysis provided a range of present values from $11.73 to $13.75 per First Capital share.

Davenport noted that it included a discounted dividend analysis because it is a widely used valuation methodology, but also noted that the results of this methodology are highly dependent upon the assumptions that must be made. The projections and other information used in the discounted dividend analysis performed by Davenport are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by the projections and other information used in the analyses, and the results of such analyses.

Other Analyses. Davenport reviewed earnings estimates, balance sheet composition, historical stock performance and stock liquidity for Eastern Virginia. Davenport also analyzed the impact of the transaction on the pro forma combined capital ratios for the combined entity under different scenarios.

Fees. First Capital and Davenport have entered into an agreement relating to the services provided by Davenport in connection with the transaction. First Capital has agreed to pay Davenport a transaction fee in connection with the merger equal to $200,000. Davenport was paid $25,000 upon the issuance of the fairness opinion and the balance of the fee is contingent, and payable, upon closing of the merger. First Capital has also agreed to reimburse Davenport for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its engagement and to indemnify Davenport and certain related persons against certain liabilities in connection with its engagement, including liabilities under the federal securities laws.

The terms of the fee arrangement with Davenport, which Davenport and First Capital believe are customary in transactions of this nature, were negotiated at arm’s length between First Capital and Davenport, and First Capital’s board was aware of such arrangement, including the fact that the majority of the fee payable to Davenport is contingent upon consummation of the merger. Davenport has provided certain investment banking services to First Capital in the past, and has received compensation for such services. In 2007, Davenport acted as financial advisor to First Capital in connection with a common stock offering.

Other. In the ordinary course of its business as a broker-dealer, Davenport may, from time to time, purchase securities from, and sell securities to, First Capital and Eastern Virginia. Davenport may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, equity securities of First Capital and Eastern Virginia for Davenport’s own account or for the accounts of its customers.

Opinion of Eastern Virginia’s Financial Advisor

On March 30, 2009, Eastern Virginia executed an engagement agreement with KBW. KBW’s engagement encompassed assisting Eastern Virginia in analyzing, structuring, negotiating and effecting a transaction with First Capital. Eastern Virginia selected KBW because KBW is a nationally recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in transactions similar to the merger and is familiar with Eastern Virginia and its business. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of financial businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions.

On April 2, 2009, the Eastern Virginia board of directors held a meeting to evaluate the proposed merger of First Capital with and into Eastern Virginia. At this meeting, KBW reviewed the financial aspects of the proposed merger and rendered an oral opinion (subsequently delivering a written opinion on April 3, 2009), to Eastern Virginia that, as of such date, and based upon and subject to factors and assumptions set forth therein, the consideration to be paid in the merger is fair, from a financial point of view to Eastern Virginia. The Eastern Virginia board of directors approved the merger agreement at this meeting

The full text of KBW’s written opinion, dated April 3, 2009, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex C to this document and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion. Eastern Virginia’s shareholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety.

KBW’s opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion is directed to the Eastern Virginia board and addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view to Eastern Virginia, of the consideration paid in the merger. It does not address the underlying business decision to proceed with the merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any Eastern Virginia shareholder as to how the shareholder should vote at the Eastern Virginia special meeting on the merger or any related matter.

In connection with its opinion, KBW reviewed, analyzed and relied upon material bearing upon the merger and the financial and operating condition of Eastern Virginia and First Capital and the merger, including among other things, the following:

 

   

the merger agreement;

 

   

the Annual Report to shareholders and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the three years ended December 31, 2008 of Eastern Virginia and the Annual Report to shareholders and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the three years ended December 31, 2008 of First Capital;

 

   

Certain interim reports to shareholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of Eastern Virginia, certain interim reports to shareholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of First Capital and certain communications from Eastern Virginia and First Capital to their respective shareholders; and

 

   

other financial information concerning the businesses and operations of Eastern Virginia and First Capital furnished to KBW by Eastern Virginia and First Capital, respectively, for purposes of KBW’s analysis.

KBW also held discussions with members of senior management of Eastern Virginia and First Capital regarding, the past and current business operations, regulatory relationships, financial condition, and future prospects of the respective companies and such other matters that KBW deemed relevant to its inquiry. In addition, KBW compared certain financial and stock market information for Eastern Virginia and First Capital with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded, reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the banking industry, evaluated the potential pro forma impact of the merger with Eastern Virginia, including cost savings and revenue enhancements, that management of Eastern Virginia expects to result from a combination of the businesses of Eastern Virginia and First Capital and performed such other studies and analyses as KBW considered appropriate.

In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, KBW relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to it or publicly available, and did not independently verify the accuracy or completeness of any such information or assume any responsibility for such verification or

 

53


Table of Contents

accuracy. KBW relied upon the management of Eastern Virginia and First Capital as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections (and assumptions and bases therefor) provided to KBW and KBW assumed that such forecasts and projections reflect the best currently available estimates and judgments of such managements and that such forecasts and projections will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods currently estimated by such managements. KBW is not an expert in the independent valuation of the adequacy of allowances for loan losses, and without independent verification, assumed that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses for Eastern Virginia and First Capital are adequate to cover those losses. KBW did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of any assets or liabilities of First Capital or Eastern Virginia, nor did they examine or review any individual credit files.

The projections furnished to KBW and used by it in certain of its analyses were prepared by Eastern Virginia’s and First Capital’s senior management team. Eastern Virginia and First Capital do not publicly disclose internal management projections of the type provided to KBW in connection with its review of the merger. As a result, such projections were not prepared with a view towards public disclosure. The projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions, which are inherently uncertain, including factors related to general economic and competitive conditions. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in the projections. Any estimates or projections contained in the analyses performed by KBW are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Additionally, estimates or projections of the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which such businesses or securities might actually be sold. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.

At the direction of Eastern Virginia’s board of directors, KBW was not asked to, and it did not, offer any opinion as to the terms of the merger agreement or the form of the merger, other than the consideration, to the extent expressly specified in KBW’s opinion. KBW expressed no opinion as to what the value of Eastern Virginia common stock would be when issued pursuant to the merger or the prices at which Eastern Virginia common stock or First Capital common stock would trade at any time. Additionally, KBW’s opinion did not address the relative merits of the merger as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for Eastern Virginia, nor does it address the effect of any other business combination in which Eastern Virginia might engage.

For purposes of rendering its opinion, KBW assumed that, in all respects material to its analyses:

 

   

the merger will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger agreement;

 

   

the representations and warranties of each party in the merger agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the merger agreement are true and correct;

 

   

each party to the merger agreement and all related documents will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents;

 

   

all conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied without any waivers; and

 

   

in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the merger, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity or the contemplated benefits of the merger, including the cost savings, revenue enhancements and related expenses expected to result from the merger.

KBW further assumed that the merger will be accounted for as a purchase transaction under generally accepted accounting principles, and that the merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes. KBW’s opinion is not an expression of an opinion as to the prices at which shares of Eastern Virginia common stock or First Capital common stock will trade since the announcement of the proposed merger or the actual value of the Eastern Virginia common shares when issued pursuant to the merger, or the prices at which the Eastern Virginia common shares will trade following the completion of the merger.

In performing its analyses, KBW considered such financial and other factors they deemed appropriate, including among other things, the historical and current financial position and results of operations of Eastern Virginia and First Capital, the assets and liabilities of Eastern Virginia and First Capital, and the nature and terms of certain other merger

Table of Contents

transactions involving banks and bank holding companies. KBW also took into account their assessment of general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, which are beyond the control of KBW, Eastern Virginia and First Capital and none of KBW, Eastern Virginia, First Capital or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those projected.

The consideration was determined through negotiation between Eastern Virginia and First Capital and the decision to enter into the merger was solely that of Eastern Virginia’s board of directors. In addition, the KBW opinion was among several factors taken into consideration by the Eastern Virginia board in making its determination to approve the merger agreement and the merger. Consequently, the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of the Eastern Virginia board with respect to the fairness of the consideration to be paid in the merger.

Summary of Analysis by KBW

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses presented by KBW to the Eastern Virginia board, in connection with rendering the fairness opinion described above. The following summary is not a complete description of the financial analyses performed by KBW in rendering its opinion or the presentation made by KBW to the Eastern Virginia board, nor does the order of analysis described represent relative importance or weight given to any particular analysis by KBW and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the written opinion of KBW attached as Annex C. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytic process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analysis or of the summary set forth herein, without considering the analysis as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying KBW’s opinion. In arriving at its opinion, KBW considered the results of its entire analysis and KBW did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered. Rather KBW made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of its entire analysis. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. Accordingly, KBW believes that its analyses and the summary of its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on the information presented below in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses.

Summary of Proposal. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $4.00 per share, of First Capital will be converted into the right to receive, 0.98 shares of common stock, par value $2.00 per share, of Eastern Virginia, and each First Capital Series A Preferred Share issued and outstanding shall be converted into the right to receive one Eastern Virginia Series B Preferred Share as described in the merger agreement.

Selected Peer Group Analysis. Using publicly available information, KBW compared the financial performance, financial condition and market performance of First Capital to the following depository institutions that KBW considered comparable to First Capital.

Companies included in First Capital’s peer group were:

 

Middleburg Financial Corporation    Alliance Bankshares Corporation
National Bankshares, Inc.    Village Bank and Trust Financial Corp.
C&F Financial Corporation    Fauquier Bankshares, Inc.
Old Point Financial Corporation    Central Virginia Bankshares, Inc.
American National Bankshares Inc.    Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc.
Access National Corporation    Bank of Virginia
Valley Financial Corporation    First Bankshares, Inc.
Monarch Financial Holdings, Inc.    Bank of McKenney

To perform this analysis, KBW used financial information as of or for the three or twelve month period ended December 31, 2008. Market price information was as of April 1, 2009. Certain financial data prepared by KBW, and as referenced in the tables presented below may not correspond to the data presented in First Capital’s historical financial statements, or to the data prepared by Davenport presented under the section “Opinion of First Capital’s Financial Advisor,” as a result of the different periods, assumptions and methods used by KBW to compute the financial data presented.

Selected Transaction Analysis. KBW reviewed publicly available information related to selected comparably sized acquisitions of banks and thrifts announced after September 1, 2007, with headquarters in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina with aggregate transaction values between $10 million and $500 million. The transactions included in the group were:

Acquired Company:

Union Bankshares Corporation    First Market Bank, FSB
1st Financial Services Corporation    AB&T Financial Corp.
M&T Bank Corporation    Provident Bankshares Corporation

Community Bankers Acquisition Corp.    BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc.
Four Oaks Fincorp, Inc.    Longleaf Community Bank
Eagle Bancorp, Inc.    Fidelity & Trust Financial Corporation
Community Bankers Acquisition Corp.    TransCommunity Financial Corporation

Transaction multiples for the merger were derived from an offer price of $9.30 per share based on Eastern Virginia share price of $9.49 on April 1, 2009 for First Capital. For each precedent transaction, KBW derived and compared, among other things, the implied ratio of price per common share paid for the acquired company to:

 

   

the earnings per share of the acquired company for the latest 12 months of results publicly available prior to the time the transaction was announced;

 

   

tangible book value per share of the acquired company based on the latest publicly available financial statements of the company available prior to the announcement of the acquisition;

 

   

tangible equity premium to core deposits based on latest publicly available financial statements of the company prior to announcement of the acquisition. Core deposits were defined as total deposits less jumbo CDs (CDs with balances greater than $100,000); and

 

   

market premium based on the latest closing price 1-day prior to the announcement of the acquisition.

No company or transaction used as a comparison in the above analysis is identical to Eastern Virginia, First Capital or the proposed merger. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies involved.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. KBW performed a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate a range for the implied equity value per share of First Capital common stock. In this analysis, KBW assumed discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 15.0% to derive (i) the present value of the estimated free cash flows that First Capital could generate over a five year period, including certain cost savings forecasted as a result of the merger, and (ii) the present value of First Capital’s terminal value at the end of year five. Terminal values for First Capital were calculated based on a range of 9.0x to 13.0x estimated year six earnings per share. In performing this analysis, KBW used First Capital’s management’s estimates. These estimates were adjusted accordingly for $11 million of cumulative Perpetual Preferred stock issued through the TARP Capital Purchase Program. Certain data was adjusted to account for certain restructuring charges anticipated by management to result from the merger. KBW assumed that First Capital would maintain a tangible common equity / tangible asset ratio of 6.50% and would retain sufficient earnings to maintain that level. Any earnings in excess of what would need to be retained represented dividendable cash flows for First Capital.

Based on these assumptions, KBW derived a range of implied equity values per share of First Capital common stock of $11.65 to $19.02.

The discounted cash flow analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of such methodology are highly dependent on the assumptions that must be made, including asset and earnings growth rates, terminal values, dividend payout rates, and discount rates. The analysis did not purport to be indicative of the actual values or expected values of First Capital common stock.

Forecasted Pro Forma Financial Analysis. KBW analyzed the estimated financial impact of the merger on Eastern Virginia’s 2009 and 2010 estimated earnings per share. For both Eastern Virginia and First Capital, KBW used management estimates of earnings per share for 2009 and 2010. KBW adjusted both Eastern Virginia’s and First Capital’s capital and earnings estimates accordingly for $24 million and $11 million of cumulative Perpetual Preferred stock issued through the TARP Capital Purchase Program. In addition, KBW assumed that the merger will result in cost savings equal to Eastern Virginia’s management’s estimates. Based on its analysis, KBW determined that the merger would be accretive to Eastern Virginia’s estimated GAAP earnings per share in 2009 and 2010.

Furthermore, the analysis indicated that Eastern Virginia’s Leverage Ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio and Total Risk Based Capital Ratio would all remain “well capitalized” by regulatory standards. This analysis was based on internal projections provided by Eastern Virginia’s and First Capital’s senior management teams. For all of the above analysis, the actual results achieved by Eastern Virginia following the merger may vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material.

Other Analyses. KBW compared the relative financial and market performance of First Capital to a variety of relevant industry peer groups and indices. KBW also reviewed earnings estimates, balance sheet composition, historical stock performance and other financial data for First Capital.

The Eastern Virginia board retained KBW as an independent contractor to act as financial adviser to Eastern Virginia regarding the merger. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of banking businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, KBW has experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking enterprises. In the ordinary course of its business as a broker-dealer, KBW may, from time to time, purchase securities from, and sell securities to, Eastern Virginia and First Capital. As a market maker in securities KBW may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of Eastern Virginia and First Capital for KBW’s own account and for the accounts of its customers.

Eastern Virginia and KBW entered into an agreement relating to the services to be provided by KBW in connection with the merger. Eastern Virginia agreed to pay KBW a cash fee of $50,000 upon the earlier of the execution of (i) an agreement in principle, or (ii) a definitive agreement with respect to a transaction. In addition, the Company agreed to pay to KBW at the time of closing a cash fee equal to $200,000. Pursuant to the KBW engagement agreement, Eastern Virginia also agreed to reimburse KBW for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements, including fees and reasonable expenses of counsel, incurred in connection with the engagement and to indemnify KBW and related parties against certain liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities laws, relating to, or arising out of, its engagement.

Surrender of Stock Certificates

Registrar and Transfer Company will act as exchange agent in the merger and in that role will process the exchange of First Capital shares for Eastern Virginia common stock. Do not forward your First Capital stock certificates with your proxy cards.

After the completion of the merger, the exchange agent will mail to First Capital shareholders a letter of transmittal, together with instructions for the exchange of their First Capital common stock certificates for the merger consideration.

After the effective time of the merger, each certificate formerly representing First Capital common stock, until so surrendered and exchanged, will evidence only the right to receive the number of whole shares of Eastern Virginia common stock that the holder is entitled to receive in the merger, any cash payment in lieu of a fractional share of Eastern Virginia common stock and any dividend or other distribution with respect to Eastern Virginia common stock with a record date on or after the effective time of the merger. The holder of such unexchanged certificate will not be entitled to receive any dividends or distributions payable by Eastern Virginia until the certificate has been exchanged. Subject to applicable laws, following surrender of such certificates, such dividends and distributions, together with any cash payment in lieu of a fractional share of Eastern Virginia common stock, will be paid without interest.

After the completion of the merger, there will be no further transfers of First Capital common stock. First Capital stock certificates presented for transfer after the completion of the merger will be canceled and exchanged for the merger consideration.

If your First Capital stock certificates have been either lost, stolen or destroyed, you will have to prove your ownership of these certificates and that they were lost, stolen or destroyed and provide customary indemnities before you receive any consideration for your shares. Upon request, our exchange agent, Registrar and Transfer Company, will send you instructions on how to provide evidence of ownership.

Preferred Stock

On April 3, 2009, First Capital issued 10,958 shares of preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury in return for $10.958 million in cash in connection with the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The terms of this preferred stock offering require First Capital to pay a cumulative dividend at a rate of 5% per annum until April 3, 2014 and thereafter at a rate of 9% per annum. Each share of such First Capital Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger will be converted into the right to receive one share of a series of Eastern Virginia preferred stock to be designated prior to

Table of Contents

the completion of the merger as Series B Preferred Shares. Series B Preferred Shares of Eastern Virginia will have identical powers, preferences and rights as the First Capital Series A Preferred Stock and will be issued privately to the U.S. Treasury and not pursuant to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Stock Options

Under the merger agreement, at the effective time, each stock option to buy First Capital common stock granted under First Capital’s stock option plan that is outstanding and not yet exercised immediately prior to the merger will vest and will be converted into an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such First Capital stock option in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, the number of shares of Eastern Virginia common stock equal to (a) the number of shares of First Capital common stock subject to the First Capital stock option, multiplied by (b) the exchange ratio. Such product shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The exercise price per share (rounded to the nearest whole cent) of each replacement option shall equal (y) the exercise price per share for the shares of First Capital common stock pursuant to such First Capital stock option divided by the (z) exchange ratio. For a discussion of the conversion of stock options owned of First Capital directors, officers and employees, see “Proposal I—Approval of the Merger and Related Matters—Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger—Conversion of Stock Options” beginning on page 61.

Warrants

On April 3, 2009, First Capital issued a warrant to the U.S. Treasury giving it the right to purchase 250,947 shares of First Capital common stock at $6.55 per share for up to 10 years so long as the preferred stock is outstanding. Under the merger agreement, at the effective time, each warrant to buy First Capital common stock that is outstanding and not yet exercised immediately prior to the merger will be converted into a warrant to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such First Capital warrant, the number of shares of Eastern Virginia common stock equal to (a) the number of shares of First Capital common stock subject to the First Capital warrant, multiplied by (b) the exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number, or 245,928 shares. The exercise price per share (rounded to the nearest whole cent) of each replacement warrant shall equal (y) the exercise price per share for the shares of First Capital common stock pursuant to such First Capital warrant divided by the (z) exchange ratio, or $6.68 per share.

Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights

Holders of common stock will not have any dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the merger and the other matters described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Holders of First Capital Series A Preferred Shares have appraisal rights; however, the U.S. Treasury currently is the only holder of First Capital Series A Preferred Shares and will not have appraisal rights if it votes such shares in favor of, or otherwise approves or consents to, the merger. If the U.S. Treasury does not approve or consent to the merger, the merger cannot be completed.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger

Certain members of First Capital’s management have interests in the merger in addition to their interests as shareholders of First Capital. These interests are described below. In each case, the First Capital board of directors was aware of these potential interests, and considered them, among other matters in approving the merger agreement, the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Change of Control and Employment Agreements.

First Capital Bank has entered into an Employment Agreement dated December 31, 2008 with Mr. John M. Presley. In the event First Capital Bank terminates Mr. Presley’s employment without “cause”, First Capital Bank must pay to Mr. Presley his base salary for a period of six to 12 months, with such period to be determined by the Board of Directors in its reasonable discretion. In addition, in the event Mr. Presley’s employment is terminated within nine months following a “change of control” (as defined in the agreement), Mr. Presley is entitled to receive his base salary for a period of 18 months following such termination.

First Capital Bank has entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated December 31, 2008 with Mr. Watts. In the event First Capital Bank terminates Mr. Watts’ employment without “cause”, First Capital Bank must pay to Mr. Watts his base salary for a period of six to 12 months, with such period to be determined by the Board of Directors in its reasonable discretion. In addition, in the event Mr. Watts’ employment is terminated within nine months following a “change of control” (as defined in the agreement), Mr. Watts is entitled to receive his base salary for a period of 18 months following such termination.

Table of Contents

First Capital Bank has entered into an Amended and Restated Change of Control Agreement dated September 15, 2006 with Mr. Ranson. The Change of Control Agreement provides that Mr. Ranson shall be entitled to receive a payment equal to 2.99 times his then base salary in the event his employment terminates or is terminated during the six (6) months immediately preceding a “change in control” (as defined in the agreement) or the six (6) months immediately following a change in control, unless such termination is or was (a) because of Mr. Ranson’s death, (b) by First Capital Bank for Cause or Disability (as such terms are defined in the agreement), or (c) by Mr. Ranson other than for Good Reason (as defined in the agreement). Any such payment that becomes due to Mr. Ranson can be paid a lump sum or, at First Capital Bank’s option, in equal monthly installments for thirty-six (36) months.

In addition to the foregoing, First Capital Bank has entered into change of control agreements with the following officers: K. Bradley Hildebrandt, Barry P. Almond, William D. Bien, Jr., Richard C. McNeil, James E. Sedlar, Katherine K. Wagner and Ralph C. Ward, Jr. These agreements provide that, in the event the officer’s employment with the company terminates or is terminated during the six (6) months immediately preceding or immediately following a change in control (as defined in the agreement), unless such termination in either case is or was (A) because of the death of the officer, (B) by the company for Cause or disability or (C) by the officer other than for Good Reason (all such capitalized terms are defined in the agreement), the officer shall be entitled to receive payment from the company in an amount equal to one (1) times officer’s annual base salary in equal installments over the next twelve (12) months.

As required under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (the “EESA”), and in connection with the U.S. Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Purchase Agreement entered into by First Capital on April 3, 2009, Ms. Wagner and Messrs. Almond, Bien, Hildebrandt, McNeil, Presley, Ranson, Sedlar, Watts and Ward entered into letter agreements under which First Capital is prohibited from paying to them any “golden parachute payment,” which is defined as any payment upon departure from employment for any reason, except for payments for services performed or benefits accrued. Accordingly, assuming that the merger is consummated, and the executive experiences a termination from employment that triggers a change of control payment immediately thereafter, no severance payments or benefits, except for payments for services performed or benefits accrued, may be paid to Ms. Wagner and Messrs. Almond, Bien, Hildebrandt, McNeil, Presley, Ranson, Sedlar, Watts and Ward.

Indemnification. Eastern Virginia has generally agreed to indemnify each present and former director and officer of First Capital to the same extent and on the same conditions as they were entitled to indemnification from First Capital before the merger. Eastern Virginia has also agreed to provide directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for those officers and directors comparable to the coverage currently provided by First Capital for five years after the effective date of the merger for an annual premium not to exceed $47,000 to maintain or procure such directors and officers insurance coverage.

Management Following the Merger. See “—Management and Operations after the Merger” beginning on page 69.

Conversion of Stock Options. The merger agreement provides that each stock option granted to officers, employees and directors of First Capital under First Capital’s stock option plan and outstanding prior to the effective date of the merger will vest and will be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Eastern Virginia common stock equal to (a) the number of shares of First Capital common stock subject to the First Capital stock option, multiplied by (b) the exchange ratio. Such product shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The exercise price per share (rounded to the nearest whole cent) of each replacement option shall equal (y) the exercise price per share for the shares of First Capital common stock pursuant to such First Capital stock option divided by the (z) exchange ratio. The terms and conditions of the converted option will otherwise remain the same as the terms and conditions applicable to the stock options granted by First Capital.

Employee Benefit Plans. As soon as practical after the effective time, First Capital continuing employees shall be entitled to participate in Eastern Virginia’s retirement, welfare and benefit plans on the same terms and conditions as employees of Eastern Virginia, without waiting periods, exceptions for pre-existing conditions, requirement of insurability or actively at work requirement or exclusion and giving effect to years of service with First Capital. Those employees shall also receive credit under Eastern Virginia’s group health plans for all deductibles and co-payments and amounts paid toward out of pocket limits made by them under the group health plans maintained by First Capital prior to the effective time.

Termination of the Merger Agreement

The merger agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the effective date of the merger, whether before or after obtaining shareholder approval, by mutual consent of Eastern Virginia’s and First Capital’s board of directors.

The merger agreement also contains termination rights that are tied to the capital levels of Eastern Virginia and First Capital (individually and on a pro-forma combined basis) prior to the merger. Specifically, the merger may be terminated if at the end of the month preceding the effective time of the merger by at least fifteen days, Eastern Virginia and First Capital do not determine that it is more likely than not that (i) pro forma combined tangible common equity of Eastern Virginia and First Capital is at least four percent and the pro forma combined total capital ratio is at least eleven percent, and (ii) their banking subsidiaries (EVB and First Capital Bank) would be “well capitalized” on a pro-forma basis. The determination of the foregoing capital levels shall include estimates of the purchase accounting adjustments to the assets, liabilities and capital of the parties and of EVB and First Capital Bank and shall be made in consultation with an independent accountant who is an expert in bank auditing and accounting and an advisor who is an expert in valuation of bank assets, with each of the independent accountant and the advisor to be mutually agreed to and engaged by the parties at least sixty days prior to the anticipated effective time.

 

64


Table of Contents

Additionally, either party may terminate the merger agreement if the other is not “well capitalized” at the end of the month preceding the effective time of the merger by at least fifteen days. Each party shall provide the other party with a good faith calculation of its regulatory capital ratios in order for the other party to make the foregoing determination.

Eastern Virginia’s or First Capital’s board of directors may unilaterally terminate the merger agreement:

 

   

in the event of a breach that results in a “material adverse effect” (not waived or cured within 30 days after written notice) of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in the merger agreement (provided that the party seeking to terminate is not in material breach of the merger agreement at that time);

 

   

in the event that any of the conditions to the obligations of a party to consummate the merger cannot be satisfied by December 31, 2009 (See “—Conditions of the Merger” on page 62), provided that the party seeking to terminate is not in material breach of the merger agreement at that time;

 

   

if any governmental authority whose approval is required for consummation of the merger issues a final non-appealable denial of such approval;

 

   

if the shareholders of First Capital or Eastern Virginia fail to approve the merger as required under Virginia law; or

 

   

in the event First Capital enters into a definitive agreement with a third party (resulting from an unsolicited offer) that First Capital’s board of directors determines is more favorable to its shareholders from a financial point of view than the proposed merger with Eastern Virginia.

Eastern Virginia may also terminate the merger agreement if First Capital elects not to make accounting adjustments reasonably requested by Eastern Virginia in order to conform First Capital’s accounting policies to those of Eastern Virginia immediately prior to the effective time of the merger.

Effect of Termination; Termination Fee and Transaction Expenses

Except where the termination fees and transaction expenses described below are payable, each party is responsible for its own expenses under the merger agreement. Each party has agreed to limit their remedies for breach of the merger agreement to the termination fees described below.

Termination Fees. The following is a list of the types of events that may trigger a termination fee under the merger agreement:

 

  (1) If a party intentionally and willfully breaches any of its representations, warranties covenants or agreements set forth in the merger agreement (and such breach is not cured within 30 days after notice thereof) and such breach or failure would provide the other party the ability to refuse to consummate the merger, then the breaching or failing party will owe the non-breaching party a termination fee of $2,500,000.

 

  (2) If the merger agreement is terminated for any reason (other than (i) mutual agreement, (ii) First Capital’s termination as a result of a breach by Eastern Virginia or (iii) First Capital’s termination based upon a determination by Eastern Virginia that Eastern Virginia is not “well capitalized” prior to the effective time) and, within twelve months after such termination, First Capital executes a definitive agreement or consummates a takeover proposal transaction, then First Capital shall owe Eastern Virginia a termination fee of $1,250,000 on the date of such execution or consummation.

 

  (3) If First Capital enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a takeover proposal (see discussion in “—Acquisition Proposals”), then First Capital will owe a $1,250,000 termination fee.

 

  (4) If shareholders of Eastern Virginia or First Capital fail to approve the merger or merger agreement and a director support agreement is materially breached, the party whose director breached his or her support agreement will owe the other party a termination fee of $1,250,000.

 

65


Table of Contents

Transaction Expenses. If the merger agreement is terminated by either Eastern Virginia or First Capital as the result of (i) a material breach (that is not willful) by the other party (not waived or cured within 30 days after written notice) of any covenant or agreement contained in the merger agreement or (ii) a breach by the other party (not waived or cured within 30 days after written notice) of any representation or warrant, which breach would allow the non-breaching party to refuse to consummate the merger then the breaching party shall pay the non-breaching party’s transaction expenses (not to exceed $200,000).

Waiver and Amendment

Prior to the effective time of the merger, any provision of the merger agreement may be waived by the party benefiting from the provision or may be amended or modified by an agreement in writing between the parties, except that, after either of the shareholders’ meetings, the merger agreement may not be amended if it would violate Section 716.E of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act or other applicable law.

Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance

Eastern Virginia has agreed to indemnify the directors and officers of First Capital after the merger and to obtain directors’ or officers’ liability insurance for the directors and officers of First Capital as described under “—Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger—Indemnification” beginning on page 61.

Acquisition Proposals

First Capital has agreed that it will not, and that it will cause its officers, directors, agents, advisors, and affiliates not to, solicit, encourage, initiate or facilitate the submission of a third party’s (other than that by Eastern Virginia) proposal to acquire the stock or assets of First Capital or other business combination transactions with First Capital. However, First Capital may provide information to, negotiate with and enter into an acquisition agreement with a third party who makes an unsolicited takeover proposal if the First Capital board of directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with and consideration of the advice of outside counsel, that the failure to enter into such discussions or negotiations or resolving to accept such acquisition proposal, would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to shareholders under applicable law. Additionally, after consultation with and consideration of the advice of its financial advisors, First Capital must conclude that such unsolicited proposal is more favorable to First Capital from a financial point of view than the merger. First Capital is required to share all relevant information with Eastern Virginia regarding any unsolicited proposal, including the identity of the third party and the terms and status of negotiations. If the board of directors of First Capital determines in the manner described in the two preceding sentences that an acquisition is a superior proposal to Eastern Virginia’s offer set forth in the merger agreement and First Capital terminates the merger, First Capital is obligated to pay to Eastern Virginia the termination fee of up to $1,250,000.

Closing Date; Effective Time

The merger will be consummated and become effective upon the issuance of a certificate of merger by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (or on such other date as may be specified in the articles of merger to be filed with the Virginia State Corporation Commission). Unless otherwise agreed to by Eastern Virginia and First Capital, the closing of the merger will take place on the tenth business day after the later to occur of (i) the effective date of the receipt of last required regulatory consent, (ii) the date on which the shareholders of Eastern Virginia approve the merger or (iii) the date on which the shareholders of First Capital approve the merger.

Regulatory Approvals

The merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement require the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Virginia State Corporation Commission. As a bank holding company, Eastern Virginia is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. Eastern Virginia will file all required applications seeking approval of the merger with the Federal Reserve and the Virginia State Corporation Commission.

Under the Bank Holding Company Act, the Federal Reserve is required to examine the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the combined organization and analyze the capital structure and soundness of the resulting entity. The Federal Reserve has the authority to deny an application if it concludes that the combined organization would have inadequate capital. In addition, the Federal Reserve can withhold approval of the merger if,

 

66


Table of Contents

among other things, it determines that the effect of the merger would be to substantially lessen competition in the relevant market. Further, the Federal Reserve must consider whether the combined organization meets the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 by assessing the involved entities’ records of meeting the credit needs of the local communities in which they operate, consistent with the safe and sound operation of such institutions. The Virginia State Corporation Commission will review the merger under similar standards.

The merger cannot be consummated prior to receipt of all required approvals. There can be no assurance that required regulatory approvals for the merger will be obtained, and, if the merger is approved, as to the date of such approvals or whether the approvals will contain any unacceptable conditions. There can likewise be no assurance that the United States Department of Justice will not challenge the merger on antitrust grounds during the waiting period set aside for such challenges after receipt of approval from the Federal Reserve.

Eastern Virginia and First Capital are not aware of any governmental approvals or actions that may be required for consummation of the merger other than as described above. Should any other approval or action be required, it is presently contemplated that such approval or action would be sought. There can be no assurance that any necessary regulatory approvals or actions will be timely received or taken, that no action will be brought challenging such approval or action or, if such a challenge is brought, as to the result thereof, or that any such approval or action will not be conditioned in a manner that would cause the parties to abandon the merger.

Conduct of Business Pending the Merger

Eastern Virginia may not enter into any merger or acquisition agreement with a third party without the prior written consent of First Capital.

Each party agreed in the merger agreement not to take the following actions until the merger becomes effective, without the prior written consent of the other:

 

   

conduct its business other than in the ordinary and usual course or fail to use reasonable efforts to preserve intact its business organizations and assets and maintain its rights, franchises and existing relations with customers, suppliers, employees and business associates, or take any action reasonably likely to have an adverse affect upon its ability to perform any of its material obligations under the merger agreement;

except for the issuance of shares pursuant to the terms of stock option plans, change the number of shares of the authorized, issued or outstanding capital stock, whether preferred or common, including any issuance, purchase, redemption, split, combination or reclassification thereof, or issue or grant any option, warrant, call, commitment, subscription, right or agreement to purchase relating to authorized or issued capital stock;

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

General

The following summary sets forth the anticipated material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to the holders of First Capital stock. The tax consequences under state, local and foreign laws are not addressed in this summary. The following summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial authorities in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Such a change could affect the continuing validity of this summary. No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences set forth below.

 

69


Table of Contents

The following summary addresses U.S. holders who are citizens or residents of the United States who hold their First Capital stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code. It does not address all the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular shareholders in light of their individual circumstances or to shareholders that are subject to special rules, including, without limitation: foreign persons; financial institutions; tax-exempt organizations; S corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities (or an investor in an S corporation, partnership or other pass-through entity); insurance companies; mutual funds; dealers in stocks or securities, or foreign currencies; foreign holders; a trader in securities who elects the mark-to-market method of accounting for the securities; persons that hold shares as a hedge against currency risk, a straddle or a constructive sale or conversion transaction; holders who acquired their shares pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan; holders of First Capital stock options, stock warrants or debt instruments; and holders subject to the alternative minimum tax.

For purposes of this section, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of First Capital that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is: a citizen or resident of the United States; a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any State or the District of Columbia; an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income regardless of its source; or a trust, the substantial decisions of which are controlled by one or more U.S. persons and which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court, or a trust that validly has elected under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Merger

None of the tax opinions given in connection with the merger will be binding on the IRS. In addition, if any of the representations or assumptions upon which those opinions are based is inconsistent with the actual facts, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger could be adversely affected. No ruling has been, or will be, sought from the Internal Revenue Service as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. Consummation of the merger is conditioned upon First Capital receiving an opinion from its special tax counsel, LeClairRyan, and Eastern Virginia receiving an opinion from its counsel, Williams Mullen, to the effect that, based upon facts, representations and assumptions set forth in such opinions, the merger constitutes a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The issuance of the opinion is conditioned on, among other things, such tax counsel’s receipt of representation letters from each of First Capital and Eastern Virginia, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such counsel.

Based upon the above assumptions and qualifications, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. First Capital and Eastern Virginia will each be a party to the merger within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and neither First Capital nor Eastern Virginia will recognize any gain or loss as a result of the merger.

Consequences to Shareholders

Exchange of First Capital Stock for Eastern Virginia Stock. A holder of First Capital stock who exchanges his or her First Capital stock for Eastern Virginia stock will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except as discussed below with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Eastern Virginia common stock.

Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. Holders of First Capital common stock who receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of Eastern Virginia common stock in the merger generally will be treated as if the fractional shares of Eastern Virginia common stock had been distributed to them as part of the merger, and then redeemed by Eastern Virginia in exchange for the cash actually distributed in lieu of the fractional shares, with the redemption generally qualifying as an “exchange” under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code, as described below. Consequently, those holders generally will recognize capital gain or loss with respect to the cash payments they receive in lieu of fractional shares measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis allocated to the fractional shares.

Taxation of Capital Gain. Any capital gain recognized by any holder of First Capital stock under the above discussion will be long-term capital gain if the holder has held the First Capital stock for more than twelve months on the

 

70


Table of Contents

effective date of the exchange. In the case of a non-corporate holder, that long-term capital gain may be subject to a maximum federal income tax rate of 15%, and the short-term capital gain may be subject to a maximum federal income tax rate of 35%. The deductibility of capital losses by shareholders may be limited.

Basis and Holding Period in Eastern Virginia Stock. Each holder’s aggregate tax basis in Eastern Virginia stock received in the merger will be the same as the holder’s aggregate tax basis in the First Capital stock exchanged, decreased by the amount of any cash received in the merger and by the amount of any tax basis allocable to any fractional share interest for which cash is received and increased by any gain recognized in the exchange. The holding period of Eastern Virginia stock received by a holder in the merger will include the holding period of the First Capital stock exchanged in the merger to the extent the First Capital stock exchanged is held as a capital asset at the time of the merger.

Constructive Ownership. In applying the constructive ownership provisions of Section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code, a holder of First Capital stock may be deemed to own stock that is owned directly or indirectly by other persons, such as certain family members and entities, such as trusts, corporations, partnerships or other entities in which the holder has an interest. Since the constructive ownership provisions are complex, holders should consult their tax advisors as to the applicability of these provisions.

Backup Withholding and Reporting Requirements. Holders of First Capital stock, other than certain exempt recipients, may be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 28% with respect to any cash payment received in the merger. Backup withholding, however, will not apply to any holder of First Capital stock who can provide proof to Eastern Virginia and its exchange agent that the holder is exempt from backup withholding.

Shareholders will also be required to file certain information with their federal income tax returns and to retain certain records with regard to the merger.

The discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences set forth above is for general information only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax effects that may apply to a holder of First Capital stock. We strongly encourage shareholders of First Capital to consult their tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the merger, including the application and effect of federal, state, local, foreign, alternative minimum tax and other tax laws and changes in those laws.

DESCRIPTION OF EASTERN VIRGINIA

CAPITAL STOCK

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $2.00 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value per share. As of July 6, 2009, there were 5,953,655 shares of common stock issued and outstanding held by approximately 1,631 shareholders of record. The issued shares of common stock represent non-withdrawable capital, are not accounts of an insurable type, and are not federally insured. We do not have any shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

Voting Rights

Each holder of shares of common stock is entitled to one vote per share held on any matter submitted to a vote of shareholders. There are no cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

Dividends

Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. We are a corporation separate and distinct from EVB and its subsidiaries. Since most of our revenues will be received by us in the form of dividends or interest paid by our subsidiary bank, our ability to pay dividends will be subject to regulatory restrictions as described in “Price Range for Common Stock and Dividends” above.

No Preemptive or Conversion Rights

Holders of shares of our common stock do not have preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of our common stock, and have no conversion or redemption rights.

Calls and Assessments

All of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock are non-assessable and non-callable.

Liquidation Rights

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of our common stock shall be entitled to receive, in cash or in kind, our assets available for distribution remaining after payment or provision for payment of our debts and liabilities and our preferred stock.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors is empowered to authorize the issuance, in one or more series, of shares of preferred stock at such times, for such purposes and for such consideration as it may deem advisable without shareholder approval. Our board is also authorized to fix the designations, voting, conversion, preference and other relative rights, qualifications and limitations of any such series of preferred stock.

Our board of directors, without shareholder approval, may authorize the issuance of one or more series of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock and, under certain circumstances, discourage an attempt by others to gain control of us.

The creation and issuance of any series of preferred stock, and the relative rights, designations and preferences of such series, if and when established, will depend upon, among other things, our future capital needs, then existing market conditions and other factors that, in the judgment of the our board, might warrant the issuance of preferred stock.

On January 9, 2009 we issued 24,000 shares of preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury in return for $24 million in cash in connection with the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The terms of this preferred stock offering requires Eastern

 

77


Table of Contents

Virginia to pay a 5% dividend on the preferred stock for the first five years, then increases to 9% for all periods after the first five years if we have not redeemed the preferred stock. In addition we issued a warrant to the U.S. Treasury giving them the right to purchase 373,832 shares of our common stock at $9.63 per share for up to 10 years so long as the preferred stock is outstanding.

Warrant

In addition to the preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury, we issued a warrant to the U.S. Treasury giving them the right to purchase 373,832 shares of our common stock at $9.63 per share for up to 10 years so long as the preferred stock is outstanding. The warrant is immediately exercisable. The warrant provides for the adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions, such as upon stock splits or distributions of securities or other assets to holders of common stock, and upon certain issuances of common stock at or below a specified price relative to the then-current market price of common stock. If, on or prior to December 31, 2009, Eastern Virginia receives aggregate gross cash proceeds of not less than $24 million from one or more “Qualified Equity Offerings” announced after October 13, 2008, the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Treasury’s exercise of the warrant will be reduced by one-half of the original number of shares, taking into account all adjustments, underlying the warrant. The U.S. Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of common stock issued upon exercise of the warrant.

Certain Provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and Virginia Law

General

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could make more difficult an acquisition of us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions are expected to discourage specific types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids as well as to encourage persons seeking to acquire control to first negotiate with us. Although these provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, we believe that the benefits of increased protection through the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure the company outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because, among other things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Increasing the Number of Directors

Pursuant to our bylaws, we have a variable range for the size of our board of directors from ten (10) to fourteen (14) persons. The board of directors or the shareholders may fix or change the number of directors from time to time, within the minimum and maximum. Any newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of authorized directors shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. As a result, if faced with an attempt to take control of our board, our directors may increase the size of the board without amending our bylaws or obtaining shareholder approval and install directors opposed to the hostile takeover attempt.

Inability of Shareholders to Call Special Meetings

Pursuant to our bylaws, special meetings of shareholders may be called only by our President, Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or by the board of directors. As a result, shareholders are not able to act on matters other than at annual shareholders’ meetings unless they are able to persuade the President, Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or a majority of the board of directors to call a special meeting.

Advance Notification Requirements

Our bylaws also require a shareholder who desires to nominate a candidate for election to the board of directors or bring other business at an annual shareholder meeting to provide us advance notice of at least 60 days before the date of the scheduled annual meeting.

Affiliated Transactions

The Virginia Stock Corporation Act contains provisions governing “Affiliated Transactions.” Affiliated Transactions include certain mergers and share exchanges, material dispositions of corporate assets not in the ordinary

 

78


Table of Contents

course of business, any dissolution of the corporation proposed by or on behalf of an Interested Shareholder (as defined below), or reclassifications, including reverse stock splits, recapitalizations or mergers of the corporation with its subsidiaries which have the effect of increasing the percentage of voting shares beneficially owned by an Interested Shareholder by more than 5%. For purposes of the provisions governing Affiliated Transactions, an “Interested Shareholder” is defined as any beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of the voting securities of a Virginia corporation.

Subject to certain exceptions discussed below, the provisions governing Affiliated Transactions require that, for three years following the date upon which any shareholder becomes an Interested Shareholder, a Virginia corporation cannot engage in an Affiliated Transaction with such Interested Shareholder unless approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares of the corporation, other than the shares beneficially owned by the Interested Shareholder, and by a majority (but not less than two) of the “Disinterested Directors.” A Disinterested Director means, with respect to a particular Interested Shareholder, a member of a corporation’s board of directors who (i) was a member before the later of January 1, 1988 and the date on which an Interested Shareholder became an Interested Shareholder and (ii) was recommended for election by, or was elected to fill a vacancy and received the affirmative vote of, a majority of the Disinterested Directors then on the board. At the expiration of the three-year period, these provisions require approval of Affiliated Transactions by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares of the corporation, other than those beneficially owned by the Interested Shareholder.

The principal exceptions to the special voting requirement apply to Affiliated Transactions occurring after the three-year period has expired and require either that the transaction be approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors or that the transaction satisfy certain fair price requirements of the statute. In general, the fair price requirements provide that the shareholders must receive the highest per share price for their shares as was paid by the Interested Shareholder for his shares or the fair market value of their shares, whichever is higher. They also require that, during the three years preceding the announcement of the proposed Affiliated Transaction, all required dividends have been paid and no special financial accommodations have been accorded the Interested Shareholder unless approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors.

None of the foregoing limitations and special voting requirements applies to an Affiliated Transaction with an Interested Shareholder whose acquisition of shares making such person an Interested Shareholder was approved by a majority of the corporation’s Disinterested Directors.

These provisions were designed to deter certain takeovers of Virginia corporations. In addition, the statute provides that, by affirmative vote of a majority of the voting shares other than shares owned by any Interested Shareholder, a corporation may adopt, by meeting certain voting requirements, an amendment to its articles of incorporation or bylaws providing that the Affiliated Transactions provisions shall not apply to the corporation. Eastern Virginia has not adopted such an amendment.

Control Share Acquisitions

The Virginia Stock Corporation Act also contains provisions regulating certain “Control Share Acquisitions,” which are transactions causing the voting strength of any person acquiring beneficial ownership of shares of a public corporation in Virginia to meet or exceed certain threshold percentages (20%, 33  1/3% or 50%) of the total votes entitled to be cast for the election of directors. Shares acquired in a Control Share Acquisition have no voting rights unless: (i) the voting rights are granted by a majority vote of all outstanding shares other than those held by the acquiring person or any officer or employee director of the corporation, or (ii) the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that these Virginia law provisions do not apply to acquisitions of its shares. The acquiring person may require that a special meeting of the shareholders be held to consider the grant of voting rights to the shares acquired in the Control Share Acquisition. These provisions were designed to deter certain takeovers of Virginia public corporations. The bylaws of Eastern Virginia contain a provision that makes these provisions inapplicable to acquisitions of our common stock.

Board of Directors

Directors’ Duties

The standards of conduct for directors of Virginia corporations are listed in the Virginia Stock Corporation Act. Directors must discharge their duties in accordance with their good faith business judgment of the best interests of the corporation. Directors may rely on the advice or acts of others, including officers, employees, attorneys, accountants and

board committees if they have a good faith belief in their competence. Directors’ actions are not subject to a reasonableness or prudent person standard. Virginia’s federal and state courts have focused on the process involved with directors’ decision-making and are generally supportive of directors if they have based their decision on an informed process. As a result, plaintiffs are faced with a tough standard to hold directors liable for their decisions. This protection afforded directors under Virginia law could make it more difficult to take over a Virginia corporation than corporations in other states.

Indemnification and Limitations on Liability of Officers and Directors

As permitted by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, the articles of incorporation of Eastern Virginia contain provisions that indemnify its directors and officers to the full extent permitted by Virginia law and eliminate the personal liability of our directors and officers for monetary damages to Eastern Virginia or its shareholders for breach of their fiduciary duties, except to the extent that the Virginia Stock Corporation Act prohibits indemnification or elimination of liability. These provisions do not limit or eliminate the rights of Eastern Virginia or any shareholder to seek an injunction or any other non-monetary relief in the event of a breach of a director’s or officer’s fiduciary duty. In addition, these provisions apply only to claims against a director or officer arising out of his role as a director or officer and do not relieve a director or officer from liability if he engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or any federal or state securities law.

In addition, the articles of incorporation of Eastern Virginia provide for the indemnification of both directors and officers for expenses that they incur in connection with the defense or settlement of claims asserted against them in their capacities as directors and officers. This right of indemnification extends to judgments or penalties assessed against them. Eastern Virginia has limited its exposure to liability for indemnification of directors and officers by purchasing directors and officers liability insurance coverage.

The rights of indemnification provided in the articles of incorporation of Eastern Virginia are not exclusive of any other rights that may be available under any insurance or other agreement, by vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Eastern Virginia pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Eastern Virginia has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC this type of indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Shares Eligible for Future Sale

All of the shares of Eastern Virginia common stock that will be exchanged for shares of First Capital common stock upon completion of the merger will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act, except for shares owned by any First Capital shareholder who may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of Eastern Virginia after completion of the merger as described under “Proposal I—Approval of the Merger and Related Matters—Restrictions on Resale of Eastern Virginia Common Stock Received in the Merger” on page 69.

Eastern Virginia cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of its common stock, or the availability of shares for future sales, will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the shares.

COMPARATIVE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

The rights of both Eastern Virginia’s shareholders and First Capital’s shareholders are governed by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act and by their respective articles of incorporation and bylaws. Following the merger, the rights of First Capital’s shareholders that receive Eastern Virginia common stock will be governed by the articles and bylaws of Eastern Virginia. This summary does not purport to be a complete discussion of, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, First Capital’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, Eastern Virginia’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and Virginia law.

Cumulative Voting for Directors

Cumulative voting entitles each shareholder to cast an aggregate number of votes equal to the number of voting shares held, multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. Each shareholder may cast all of his or her votes for one nominee or distribute them among two or more nominees, thus permitting holders of less than a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock to achieve board representation. Where cumulative voting is not permitted, holders of all outstanding shares of voting stock of a corporation elect the entire board of directors of the corporation, thereby precluding the election of any directors by the holders of less than a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock. Virginia law provides that shareholders do not have the right to cumulate votes for directors unless the articles of incorporation so provide.

 

Eastern Virginia    First Capital
Eastern Virginia’s shareholders do not have a right to cumulative voting in the election of directors because the articles of incorporation do not provide for such a right.    First Capital’s shareholders do not have a right to cumulative voting in the election of directors because the articles of incorporation do not provide for such a right.

Classes of Directors

 

Eastern Virginia    First Capital
Eastern Virginia’s articles of incorporation do not provide that Eastern Virginia’s board of directors is divided into classes of directors.    First Capital’s articles of incorporation provide that First Capital’s board of directors is divided into three classes of directors as nearly equal in number as possible, with each class being elected to a staggered three-year term.

Qualifications of Directors

 

Eastern Virginia    First Capital
Eastern Virginia’s bylaws state that except for individuals who were directors on March 15, 2007 no person who is 75 years old or older may be eligible for election as a director. Eastern Virginia’s bylaws do not require that a person be a resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Virginia law requires that directors own shares of stock of Eastern Virginia to be qualified as a director.    First Capital’s bylaws do not require that a person be a resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia to be qualified as a director.

A shareholder’s nomination notice must contain specific information as further delineated in Eastern Virginia’s bylaws.    First Capital’s bylaws provide that any shareholder entitled to vote may propose matters to bring before the annual meeting or nominate directors, but only if written notice of the nomination is given not less than 90 days prior to the date of the annual meeting of shareholders. The proposal must contain specific information as further delineated in First Capital’s bylaws.

Anti-Takeover Provisions—Business Combinations

 

Eastern Virginia    First Capital

Affiliated Transactions Statute

The articles of incorporation and bylaws of Eastern Virginia and First Capital are silent on this issue; therefore, the laws of Virginia apply.

Shareholder Action Without a Meeting

Virginia law provides that action required or permitted by law to be taken at a shareholders’ meeting may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, (i) if the action is taken by all the shareholders entitled to vote on the action, in which case no action by the board of directors would be required, or (ii) if the articles of incorporation so provide, by consents in writing setting forth the action so taken are signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be required to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on the action were present and voted.

Section 2.2 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Upon the Effective Time, each holder of an outstanding certificate representing shares of FCB Shares prior to the Effective Date (a “FCB Certificate”) who has surrendered such FCB Certificate to the Exchange Agent will, upon acceptance thereof by the Exchange Agent, be entitled to a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole EVBS Shares which the aggregate number of shares of FCB Shares previously represented by such FCB Certificate(s) surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement and, if such holder’s shares of FCB Shares have been converted into EVBS Shares, any other distribution on EVBS Shares issuable in the Merger with a record date after the Effective Date, in each case without interest. The Exchange Agent shall accept such FCB Certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. Upon the Effective Time, each FCB Certificate that is not surrendered to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the procedures provided for herein shall, except as otherwise herein provided, until duly surrendered to the Exchange Agent be deemed to evidence ownership of the number of EVBS Shares into which such FCB Shares shall have been converted. No dividends that have been declared by EVBS will be remitted to any person entitled to receive EVBS Shares hereunder until such person surrenders the FCB Certificate(s) representing FCB Shares, at which time such dividends shall be remitted to such person, without interest.

(b) Upon the Effective Time, each holder of an outstanding certificate representing shares of FCB Series A Preferred Shares prior to the Effective Date (a “FCB Preferred Certificate”) who has surrendered such FCB Preferred Certificate to the Exchange Agent will, upon acceptance thereof by the Exchange Agent, be entitled to a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole EVBS Series B Preferred Shares which the aggregate number of shares of FCB Series A Preferred Shares previously represented by such FCB Preferred Certificate(s) surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement and, if such holder’s shares of FCB Series A Preferred Shares have been converted into EVBS Series B Preferred Shares, any other distribution on EVBS Series B Preferred Shares issuable in the Merger with a record date after the Effective Date, in each case without interest. The Exchange Agent shall accept such FCB Preferred Certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. Upon the Effective Time, each FCB Preferred Certificate that is not surrendered to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the procedures provided for herein shall, except as otherwise herein provided, until duly surrendered to the Exchange Agent be deemed to evidence ownership of the number of EVBS Series B Preferred Shares into which such FCB Series A Preferred Shares shall have been converted. No dividends that have been declared by EVBS will be remitted to any person entitled to receive

Table of Contents

EVBS Series B Preferred Shares hereunder until such person surrenders the FCB Preferred Certificate(s) representing FCB Series A Preferred Shares, at which time such dividends shall be remitted to such person, without interest.

(c) The Exchange Agent and EVBS shall not (i) be obligated to deliver a certificate or certificates representing EVBS Shares to which a holder of FCB Shares would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger, or (ii) be obligated to deliver a certificate or certificates representing EVBS Series B Preferred Shares to which a holder of FCB Series A Preferred Shares would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger, until such holder surrenders the FCB Certificate(s) representing the FCB Shares or the FCB Preferred Certificate(s) representing FCB Series A Preferred Shares, as applicable, for exchange as provided in this Section 2.2, or, in default thereof, an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in an amount as may be reasonably required in each case by EVBS.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, FCB Certificates or FCB Preferred Certificates surrendered for exchange by an FCB affiliate shall not be exchanged for certificates representing EVBS Shares or EVBS Series B Preferred Shares, as applicable, to which such FCB affiliate may be entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until EVBS has received a written agreement from such person as specified in Section 5.7.

Section 2.3 No Fractional Securities. No certificates or scrip representing fractional EVBS Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of FCB Certificates and such fractional shares shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of EVBS Shares. A holder of shares of FCB Shares converted in the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to a fractional EVBS Share shall be entitled to receive a cash payment (without interest) in lieu of such fractional share in an amount determined by multiplying (i) the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by (ii) the product obtained by multiplying the EVBS Average Price by the Exchange Ratio.

Section 2.4 Certain Adjustments. If, after the date hereof and on or prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of EVBS Shares shall be changed into a different number of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or any dividend payable in stock or other securities is declared thereon with a record date within such period, or any similar event shall occur, the Merger Consideration or the Preferred Exchange Ratio will be adjusted accordingly to provide to the holders of FCB Shares or FCB Series A Preferred Shares, respectively, the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange or dividend or similar event. In the event that the sum of (i) the number of FCB Shares presented for exchange pursuant to Section 2.2 or otherwise issued and outstanding at the Effective Time, and (ii) the number of FCB Shares issuable upon the exercise of options (whether pursuant to FCB Stock Options or otherwise) as of the Effective Time, shall be greater than the sum of (x) the number of shares of FCB Shares represented in Section 3.2 as being outstanding as of the date hereof, and (y) the number of shares of FCB Shares issuable upon the exercise of FCB Stock Options or FCB Warrants represented in Section 3.2 as being outstanding as of the date hereof, then the Exchange Ratio shall be appropriately and proportionately decreased to take into account such additional issued and outstanding, and issuable FCB Shares.

Section 2.5 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding Section 2.1 hereof, any holder of FCB Series A Preferred Shares (if any) who perfects such holder’s appraisal rights in accordance with and as contemplated by Sections 13.1-729 through 13.1-741 of the Virginia Code, as amended, shall be entitled to receive from the Surviving Corporation, in lieu of the EVBS Series B Preferred Shares, the value of such shares as to which appraisal rights have been perfected in cash as determined pursuant to Sections 13.1-729 through 13.1-741 of the Virginia Code, as amended; provided, that no such payment shall be made to any holder of FCB Series A Preferred Shares asserting appraisal rights unless and until such holder of FCB Series A Preferred Shares has complied with all applicable provisions of Sections 13.1-729 through 13.1-741 of the Virginia Code, as amended, and surrendered to the Exchange Agent the certificate or certificates representing the shares for which payment is being made. In the event that after the Effective Time a holder of FCB Series A Preferred Shares who asserts appraisal rights fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws or loses, such holder’s right to appraisal of and payment for such holder’s shares, the Surviving Corporation shall issue and deliver the consideration to which such holder of shares of FCB Series A Preferred Shares is entitled under this Article 2 (without interest) upon surrender by such holder of the certificate or certificates representing such shares of FCB Series A Preferred Shares held by such holder.

Section 2.6 FCB Stock Options and FCB Warrants.

(a) FCB Stock Options. From and after the Effective Time, all options granted under the FCB Stock Option Plan to purchase FCB Shares (each, a “FCB Stock Option”), that are then outstanding and unexercised, shall vest, to the extent not already vested (unless such vesting is otherwise prohibited under applicable law, including but not limited to EESA), and be converted into and become options to purchase EVBS Shares, and EVBS shall assume each such FCB Stock Option in accordance with the terms of the plan and agreement by which it is evidenced; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time (i) each such FCB Stock Option assumed by EVBS may be exercised solely to purchase EVBS Shares; (ii) the number of EVBS Shares purchasable upon exercise of such FCB Stock Option shall be equal to the number of shares of FCB Shares that were purchasable under such FCB Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (iii) the per share exercise price under each such FCB Stock Option shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price of each such FCB Stock Option by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent. The terms of each FCB Stock Option shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to EVBS Shares on or subsequent to the Effective Time. The adjustment provided in this Section 2.6(a) with respect to any FCB Stock Options (whether or not “incentive stock options” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code)) shall be and is intended to be effected in a manner which is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code and, to the extent it is not so consistent, the provisions of such Section 424(a) of the Code shall override anything to the contrary contained herein.

(b) FCB Warrants. From and after the Effective Time, all FCB Warrants to purchase FCB Shares, that are then outstanding and unexercised, shall be converted into and become warrants to purchase EVBS Shares, and EVBS shall assume each such FCB Warrant in

Table of Contents

accordance with the terms of the warrant by which it is evidenced; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time (i) each such FCB Warrant assumed by EVBS may be exercised solely to purchase EVBS Shares; (ii) the number of EVBS Shares purchasable upon exercise of such FCB Warrant shall be equal to the number of shares of FCB Shares that were purchasable under such FCB Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (iii) the per share exercise price under each such FCB Warrant shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price of each such FCB Warrant by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent. The terms of each FCB Warrant shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to EVBS Shares on or subsequent to the Effective Time.

Section 2.7 Laws of Escheat. If any of the consideration due or other payments to be paid or delivered to the holders of FCB Shares or FCB Series A Preferred Shares is not paid or delivered within the time period specified by any applicable laws concerning abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, and if such failure to pay or deliver such consideration occurs or arises out of the fact that such property is not claimed by the proper owner thereof, EVBS or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to dispose of any such consideration or other payments in accordance with applicable laws concerning abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, none of FCB, EVBS, the Exchange Agent, nor any other Person acting on their behalf shall be liable to a holder of FCB Shares or FCB Series A Preferred Shares for any amount paid or property delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

Table of Contents

respect to any pension plan qualified under Section 401 of the Code, except liabilities to the PBGC pursuant to Section 4007 of ERISA, all which have been fully paid.

(d) All Benefit Plans comply, in all material respects, in operation, administration and form, with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code that are applicable, or intended to be applicable, including, but not limited to, COBRA, HIPAA and any applicable, similar state law, to such “employee benefit plans.” The Benefit Plans that provide for payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code comply in form or have been timely amended to comply in form with Section 409A of the Code and have been operated in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

(i) Each Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code so qualifies and its related trust is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code.

EVBS shall not be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of any customer, would contravene any law, rule, regulation, order or judgment, would violate any fiduciary obligations or duties of the officers or directors of EVBS or would violate any confidentiality agreement; provided that EVBS shall cooperate with FCB in seeking to obtain Consents from appropriate parties under whose rights or authority access is otherwise restricted. The foregoing rights granted to FCB shall not, whether or not and regardless of the extent to which the same are exercised, affect the representations and warranties made in this Agreement by EVBS.

(c) All information furnished by the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as the sole property of the party providing such information until the consummation of the Merger contemplated hereby and, if such transaction shall not occur, the party receiving the information shall return to the party which furnished such information, all documents or other materials containing, reflecting or referring to such information, shall use its best efforts to keep confidential all such information, and shall not directly or indirectly use such information for any competitive or other commercial purposes. The obligation to keep such information confidential shall continue for five (5) years from the date the proposed transactions are abandoned but shall not apply to (i) any information which (A) the party receiving the information was already in possession of prior to disclosure thereof by the party furnishing the information, (B) was then available to the public, or (C) became available to the public through no fault of the party receiving the information; or (ii) disclosures pursuant to a legal requirement or in accordance with an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or regulatory agency; provided, however, the party which is the subject of any such legal requirement or order shall use its best efforts to give the other party at least ten (10) business days prior notice thereof so that such other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, and provided further, in the event such other party is unable to obtain a protective order or such other remedy, the party that is subject to such legal requirement shall furnish only that portion of such information which it is advised by counsel is legally required and shall use best efforts to ensure that confidential treatment will be accorded such information. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of their respective obligations under this Section 5.3 would cause the other irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law, and that, accordingly, each is entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief for the enforcement thereof in addition to damages or any other relief available at law.

The Board of Directors

First Capital Bancorp, Inc.

4222 Cox Road, Suite 200

Glen Allen, VA 23060

Members of the Board:

You have requested our opinion as investment bankers as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of First Capital Bancorp, Inc. (“First Capital”) of the Merger Consideration (as defined below) to be received by the First Capital shareholders in the proposed merger (the “Merger”) of First Capital with and into Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. (“Eastern Virginia”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 2, 2009 (the “Agreement”). As is more specifically set forth in the Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, the shareholders of First Capital will receive 0.98 common shares of Eastern Virginia common stock for each First Capital share owned (the “Merger Consideration”).

Davenport & Company LLC, as part of its investment banking business is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, underwritings, sales and distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. Davenport was selected by First Capital’s Board of Directors to act as its financial advisor because of Davenport’s expertise in valuing and advising financial institutions in merger and acquisition transactions and because Davenport was familiar with First Capital and its business. Davenport will receive a fee for serving as First Capital’s financial advisor, a portion of which is payable in connection with rendering this opinion and a portion of which is contingent upon the successful completion of the Merger. First Capital has also agreed to indemnify Davenport for certain liabilities arising out of its engagement.

Davenport has provided certain investment banking services to First Capital in the past, and has received compensation for such services. In the ordinary course of its business as a broker-dealer, Davenport may, from time to time, purchase securities from, and sell securities to, First Capital and Eastern Virginia. Davenport may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, equity securities of First Capital and Eastern Virginia for Davenport’s own account or for the accounts of its customers.

In arriving at our opinion, we have, among other things:

 

  1. Reviewed the Agreement;

 

  2. Reviewed certain business, financial, and other information regarding First Capital and its prospects that was furnished to us by the management of First Capital and that we have discussed with the management of First Capital.

  3. Reviewed certain business, financial, and other information regarding Eastern Virginia and its prospects that was furnished to us by the management of Eastern Virginia and that we have discussed with the management of Eastern Virginia.

 

  4. Reviewed the publicly reported prices and trading activity for First Capital’s and Eastern Virginia’s common stock;

 

  5. Compared certain business, financial, and other information regarding First Capital and Eastern Virginia with similar information regarding certain other publicly traded companies that we deemed to be relevant;

 

  6. Compared the proposed financial terms of the Merger with the financial terms of various other mergers and acquisitions of financial institutions in recent years;

 

  7. Reviewed the pro forma financial impact of the Merger on First Capital and Eastern Virginia, based on assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase accounting adjustments and cost savings determined by the senior management of First Capital and Eastern Virginia;

 

  8. Reviewed the relative contributions of assets, liabilities, equity and earnings of First Capital and Eastern Virginia to the resulting institution and the relative pro forma ownership of the shareholders of First Capital and Eastern Virginia in the combined company; and

 

  9. Considered other information such as financial studies, analyses, and investigations as well as financial and economic and market criteria that we deemed appropriate.

In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, we have relied upon and assumed the accuracy, completeness and fairness of all of the financial and other information that was available to us from public sources, that was provided to us by First Capital and Eastern Virginia or their representatives, or that was otherwise reviewed by us, and we have not assumed any responsibility for independently verifying the accuracy or completeness of any such information. We are not experts in the evaluation of loan portfolios for the purpose of assessing the adequacy of the allowance for losses, and assumed that such allowances, for each of First Capital and Eastern Virginia, are in the aggregate, adequate to cover such losses. We did not review any individual credit files nor make any independent evaluation, appraisal or physical inspection of the assets, liabilities or properties of First Capital and Eastern Virginia, nor were we furnished with such evaluation or appraisal.

With respect to the financial forecast information furnished to or discussed with us by First Capital and Eastern Virginia, we assumed that such financial forecast information had been reasonably prepared and reflected the best currently available estimates and judgment of First Capital’s and Eastern Virginia’s management as to the expected future financial performance of First Capital and Eastern Virginia. We assumed no responsibility for and expressed no view as to any such forecasts or estimates or the assumptions upon which they were based. This forward-looking information, as well as the other estimates used by us in our analyses, were based on numerous variables and assumptions which are inherently uncertain and, accordingly, actual results could vary materially from those set forth in such forecasts.

We assumed that there had been no material change in First Capital’s and Eastern Virginia’s assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects or other financial information since the date of the last financial information made available to us, that First Capital and Eastern Virginia will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to its analyses, and that the merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. We have also assumed that the Merger will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement and that the Merger will be accounted for as a purchase under generally accepted accounting principles. Our opinion is necessarily based upon economic, market, financial and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on the date hereof and the information made available to us through the date hereof. We do not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion or otherwise comment on any events occurring after the date of this opinion.

Our opinion expressed herein was prepared solely for the Board of Directors of First Capital in connection with and for the purposes of its evaluation of the Merger. This opinion does not address the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for First Capital, does not address the effect of any other business combination in which First Capital might engage and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of First Capital as to how such shareholder should vote with respect to the Merger. We are not expressing any opinion herein as to the prices at which Eastern Virginia’s and First Capital’s common stock will trade following the announcement or consummation of the Merger. This opinion does not express any opinion about the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to First Capital’s officers, directors, employees or class of such persons, relative to compensation to the public shareholders of First Capital. In accordance with internal procedures adopted pursuant to FINRA rules and regulations, Davenport & Company LLC's fairness opinion was approved by a fairness committee of Davenport & Company LLC.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration offered to First Capital shareholders in the Merger as provided for and described in the Agreement is fair to the holders of First Capital common stock from a financial point of view.

 

Sincerely,
DAVENPORT & COMPANY LLC

The Board of Directors

Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc.

330 Hospital Road

Tappahannock, VA 22560

Members of the Board:

You have requested our opinion as investment bankers as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. (“EVBS”) of the Merger Consideration (as defined herein) in the proposed merger (the “Merger”) of First Capital Bancorp, Inc. (“FCVA”) with and into EVBS, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 3, 2009, between FCVA and EVBS (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, each outstanding share of Common Stock, par value $4.00 per share, of FCVA will be converted into the right to receive, 0.98 shares of common stock, par value $2.00 per share, of EVBS, and each FCVA Series A Preferred Share issued and outstanding shall be converted into the right to receive one EVBS Series B Preferred Share as described in the Agreement (the “Merger Consideration”). The terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., has acted as financial advisor to EVBS. As part of our investment banking business, we are continually engaged in the valuation of bank and bank holding company securities in connection with acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for various other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, we have experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking enterprises. In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may, from time to time, purchase securities from, and sell securities to, FCVA and EVBS, and as a market maker in securities, we may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of FCVA and EVBS for our own account and for the accounts of our customers. To the extent we have any such positions as of the date of this opinion it has been disclosed to EVBS. We have acted exclusively for the Board of Directors of EVBS in rendering this fairness opinion and will receive a fee from EVBS for our services. A portion of our fee is contingent upon the successful completion of the Merger.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, analyzed and relied upon material bearing upon the financial and operating condition of FCVA and EVBS and the Merger, including among other things, the following: (i) the Agreement; (ii) the Annual reports to Stockholders and


Table of Contents

Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the three years ended December 31, 2008 of FCVA and EVBS; (iii) certain interim reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of FCVA and EVBS and certain other communications from FCVA and EVBS to their respective stockholders; and (iv) other financial information concerning the businesses and operations of FCVA and EVBS furnished to us by FCVA and EVBS for purposes of our analysis. We have also held discussions with senior management of FCVA and EVBS regarding the past and current business operations, regulatory relations, financial condition and future prospects of their respective companies and such other matters as we have deemed relevant to our inquiry. In addition, we have compared certain financial and stock market information for FCVA and EVBS with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded, reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the banking industry and performed such other studies and analyses as we considered appropriate.

In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, we have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to us or publicly available and we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such information or assumed any responsibility for such verification or accuracy. We have relied upon the management of FCVA and EVBS as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections (and the assumptions and bases therefore) provided to us, and we have assumed that such forecasts and projections reflect the best currently available estimates and judgments of such managements and that such forecasts and projections will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods currently estimated by such managements. We are not experts in the independent verification of the adequacy of allowances for loan and lease losses and we have assumed, with your consent, that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses for FCVA and EVBS are adequate to cover such losses. In rendering our opinion, we have not made or obtained any evaluations or appraisals of the property or assets of FCVA or EVBS, nor have we examined any individual credit files.

We have assumed that, in all respects material to our analyses, the following: (i) the Merger will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement; (ii) the representations and warranties of each party in the Agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the Agreement are true and correct; (iii) each party to the Agreement and all related documents will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents; (iv) all conditions to the completion of the Merger will be satisfied without any waivers; and (v) in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the Merger, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity or the contemplated benefits of the Merger, including the cost savings, revenue enhancements and related expenses expected to result from the Merger.

We have considered such financial and other factors as we have deemed appropriate under the circumstances, including, among others, the following: (i) the historical and current financial position and results of operations of FCVA and EVBS; (ii) the assets and liabilities of FCVA and EVBS; and (iii) the nature and terms of certain other merger transactions involving banks and

bank holding companies. We have also taken into account our assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and our experience in other transactions, as well as our experience in securities valuation and knowledge of the banking industry generally. Our opinion is necessarily based upon conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on the date hereof and the information made available to us through the date hereof. Our opinion does not address the underlying business decision of EVBS to engage in the Merger, or the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to EVBS.

We are not expressing any opinion about the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to any of the EVBS or FCVA officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the compensation to the public shareholders of FCVA.

This opinion has been reviewed and approved by our Fairness Opinion Committee in conformity with our policies and procedures established under the requirements of Rule 2290 of the NASD Rules of the Financial Institutions Regulatory Authority.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to EVBS.

 

Very truly yours,
/s/ Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.

PART I

 

Item 1. Business

General

Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. (“the Company”, “our Company”, “we”, “our” or us”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Tappahannock, Virginia (45 miles northeast of Richmond, Virginia). Through our wholly-owned bank subsidiary, EVB, we operate 25 full service branches in eastern Virginia. EVB is a community bank targeting small to medium-sized businesses and consumers in our traditional coastal plain markets and the emerging suburbs outside of the Richmond and Greater Tidewater areas.

Our mission is to maximize shareholder value while providing superior financial products and services in each of the communities we serve and empowering employees to always do the right thing with a level of integrity that lives up to the trust our customers place in us.

We provide a broad range of personal and commercial banking services including commercial, consumer and real estate loans. We complement our lending operations with an array of retail and commercial deposit products and fee-based services. Our services are delivered locally by well-trained and experienced bankers, whom we empower to make decisions at the local level, so they can provide timely lending decisions and respond promptly to customer inquiries. We believe that, by offering our customers personalized service and a breadth of products, we can compete effectively as we expand within our existing markets and into new markets.

Until April 2006, we operated as an affiliation of three separate community banks. Two of the banks, Bank of Northumberland, Inc. and Southside Bank, were established in 1910. Seeking to accelerate our growth in a higher growth adjacent market, we started a de novo bank, Hanover Bank, in 2000. From the beginning of 2003 through April 2006 we put into practice our Standards of Excellence program which standardized operations in all departments through out the bank. Some of the support functions were consolidated to benefit from the efficiency of one process rather than three and in April 2006, we completed the final phase of the Standards of Excellence program when our three subsidiary banks merged and the surviving bank was rebranded as EVB. Over the last two years we have seen many benefits from the consolidation. Our goal has been to expand our footprint in eastern and central Virginia and to accomplish that we have expanded and improved our branch network. Late in 2007, we opened a new branch in New Kent County, Virginia at a temporary location which established the bank in a new growth market. The permanent location opened in late 2008. In January 2008, we relocated our Village branch to a prominent Hanover County location, called the Windmill, which gives us a highly visible location on Route 360. In March 2008, we purchased two branches from Millennium Bank placing us in two new Virginia markets: Henrico County and Colonial Heights. This transaction grew our bank by adding $93 million in deposits and $49 million in loans. We plan to continue these strategies of building new branches in growing markets and purchasing other locations as the opportunities arise.

EVB Financial Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of EVB, has 100% ownership of EVB Investments, Inc. and a 50% ownership interest in EVB Mortgage, LLC. The mortgage company operates with a partner in generating various real estate loans for sale in the mortgage loan markets, earning interest and fees from these loans prior to sale while retaining no servicing rights after the sale. For a fee, EVB Investments Inc. provides securities, brokerage and investment advisory services through its sales force and its minority ownership in Infinex Financial Group which purchased Bankers Investment Group, LLC. Infinex provides our investment company with a brokerage firm through which it sells investment services. The bank also has a 75% ownership interest in EVB Title, LLC and a 2.33% interest in Virginia Bankers Insurance Center, LLC. EVB Title, LLC sells title insurance, while Virginia Bankers Insurance Center, LLC acts as a broker for selling insurance products for its member banks. Through these investments, we are able to augment our fee income by providing financial products and services that are complementary to traditional banking products. These investments give us and our customer’s access to experienced professionals while we avoid making large investments to develop these capabilities internally.

Recent Developments

On January 9, 2009, as part of the Capital Purchase Program established by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), (the Company) entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement—Standard Terms (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Treasury, pursuant to which the Company sold (i) 24,000 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $2.00 per share, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant to purchase 373,832 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $2.00 per share, at an initial exercise price of $9.63 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments, for an aggregate purchase price of $24,000,000 in cash. While we are a well capitalized bank, these funds are part of our Tier I capital and increase our capital ratios. We expect that the funds will be used to fund loan growth and other asset expansion.

Available Information

We maintain Internet websites at www.bankevb.com for our bank and at www.evb.org for our corporation. Among other items, the bank site offers our customers information about our products and locations and is the site to access online banking. Our corporate site offers information, free of charge, on the corporation including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to these documents as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. If not on the website, please make written requests to our Corporate Secretary to receive copies of our Audit Committee Charter, Nominating Committee Charter and Code of Conduct or other information that may be available.

Employees

As of December 31, 2008, we employed 317 full-time equivalent employees. Our success is highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified employees in a financial services environment where competition for employees is intense. We emphasize training for our employees, so they can provide excellent service to our customers. We believe we have been successful in our efforts to recruit qualified employees, but there is no assurance that we will continue to be successful in the future. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. We believe relations with our employees are excellent.

The Board of Directors has approved a Code of Ethics for all directors, officers and staff of our Company and its subsidiaries. The Code of Ethics is designed to promote honest and ethical conduct, proper disclosure of financial information in our periodic reports, and compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations by our senior officers who have financial responsibilities. The Code of Ethics is available on our web page at www.bankevb.com.

Market Areas and Growth Strategy

We currently conduct business through 25 branches. Our markets are located east of U.S. Route 250 and extend from northeast of Richmond to the Chesapeake Bay in central Virginia and across the James River from Colonial Heights to southeastern Virginia. We divide our market area into four regions: Northern Neck, Middle Peninsula, Capital (suburbs of Richmond) and Southern.

Our Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula regions are in the eastern coastal plain of Virginia, often referred to as River Country. According to the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, the region’s industries have traditionally been associated with abundant natural resources that include five rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. The diversified economy includes seafood harvesting, light manufacturing, agriculture, leisure marine services and service sectors dedicated to many upscale retirement communities.

Our Capital region is currently comprised of Hanover, Henrico, King William and Caroline counties and Colonial Heights which are emerging suburbs of Richmond. Hanover County is approximately 10 miles from downtown Richmond and 86 miles south of Washington, DC. Hanover County is the largest county by area in the Richmond metropolitan area. The county provides residents and businesses the geographic advantages of a growing metropolitan area coupled with substantial acreage for expansion in a suburban setting. The addition of a branch in the adjacent county of Henrico which is closer to Richmond and has similar economic potential is in keeping with our strategic plan.

Our Southern region is comprised of New Kent, Surry, Sussex, and Southampton counties. New Kent is a fast growing county south of Richmond and north of Williamsburg which places us in the growth zone of U.S. highway 64 that runs from Richmond to the Virginia Beach area of the Virginia Tidewater region. The other three counties are approximately 50 miles southeast of Richmond along or just off the state route 460 corridor and are adjacent to the Greater Tidewater area. The port of Hampton Roads is approximately 50 miles to the east of our Southern region. The region’s close proximity to major military, naval and research centers and transportation infrastructure make this an attractive location for contractors, service and manufacturing companies. Our addition of a branch in Colonial Heights gives us a link between the U.S. 64 and the 460 access routes and positions us to take advantage of new growth occurring at Fort Lee which is nearby.

Business Strategy

As a result of our nearly 100 years of experience serving the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula regions, we have a stable, loyal customer base and a high deposit market share in these regions. Due to the lower projected population growth of these markets, we expanded in Hanover, Henrico, Gloucester, New Kent and King William Counties and the city of Colonial Heights to target the even higher growth in these existing and emerging suburban markets. The deposit market share we have accumulated in our Northern Neck, Middle Peninsula and Southern regions has helped fund our loan growth in the emerging suburban areas in the Central region. While 2008 and 2007 were challenging years for deposit growth, our purchase of two branches in early 2008 brought in deposits which aided our loan growth. We anticipate that we will gain market share in each of our regions, as our branches mature and we take advantage of opportunities for branch acquisitions and de novo growth.

We believe that economic growth and bank consolidation have created a growing number of businesses and consumers in need of the broad range of products and services and high level of service that we provide. While we work through the economic challenges of 2008, our long-term business plan is to capitalize on the growth opportunity in our markets by further developing our branch network in our existing markets and augmenting our market area by expanding to the counties near the urban markets of Richmond and Greater Tidewater. We intend not only to build upon existing relationships, but also to create new relationships and expand into new markets by de novo branch expansion, branch acquisitions or potential whole bank acquisitions that meet our strategic and financial criteria.

Competition

We face significant competition for loans and deposits. The sources of competition vary based on the particular market of operation, which can range from a small rural town to part of an urban market. Competition for loans, our primary source of income, comes primarily from commercial banks and mortgage banking subsidiaries of both regional and community banks. Based on June 30, 2008 data published by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the most recent date for which such data is available, EVB held the largest deposit share among its competitors in Middlesex, Essex, Northumberland and Surry Counties. EVB also had a strong deposit share in King William, Southampton and Sussex Counties, and a rapidly growing deposit base in Gloucester and Hanover Counties. Our primary competition is other community banks in Essex, King William, Lancaster and Northumberland Counties, while we compete with both community banks and large regional banks in Caroline, Gloucester, Hanover, Henrico, Middlesex, Southampton, Surry and Sussex Counties and the city of Colonial Heights.

Credit Policies

The principal risk associated with each of the categories of loans in our portfolio is the creditworthiness of our borrowers. Within each category, such risk is increased or decreased, depending on various factors. The risks associated with real estate mortgage loans, commercial loans and consumer loans vary based on employment levels, consumer confidence, fluctuations in the value of real estate and other conditions that affect the ability of borrowers to repay indebtedness. The risk associated with real estate construction loans varies based on the supply and demand for the type of real estate under construction. In an effort to manage these risks, we have loan amount approval limits for individual loan officers based on their position and level of experience.

We have written policies and procedures to help manage credit risk. We use a loan review process that includes a portfolio management strategy, guidelines for underwriting standards and risk assessment, procedures for ongoing identification and management of credit deterioration, and regular independent third party portfolio reviews to establish loss exposure and to monitor compliance with policies. The third party reviews are done by a consulting firm that is comprised of experienced commercial lenders who understand the laws, regulations and critical areas of portfolio management. They provide management with an unbiased opinion of our credits and actions needed to strengthen them or protect the company.

Our loan approval process includes our management loan committee, directors loan committee and, for larger loans, the board of directors. Our Chief Credit Officer is responsible for reporting to the Directors Loan Committee monthly on the activities of the Management Loan Committee and on the status of various delinquent and non-performing loans. The Directors Loan Committee also reviews lending policies proposed by management. Our board of directors establishes our total lending limit policy which is less than the legal lending limit.

Loan Originations

Residential real estate loan originations come primarily from walk-in customers, real estate brokers and builders, and through referrals from EVB Mortgage, LLC. Adjustable rate loans and other loans that cannot be sold in the secondary mortgage market, but that meet our underwriting guidelines, are referred to us by EVB Mortgage, LLC. Commercial real estate loan originations are obtained through broker referrals, direct solicitation of prospects and continued business from current customers. We may also purchase or sell loan participations with other community banks in Virginia.

Our loan officers, as part of the application process, review and underwrite all loan applications. Information is obtained concerning the repayment ability and stability, credit history and collateral of the applicant. Loan quality is analyzed based on our experience and credit underwriting guidelines as well as the guidelines used by an independent third party loan review firm based on the type of loan. Real estate collateral is appraised by independent appraisers who have been pre-approved by meeting the requirement of providing a current and valid license certification and based on the bank’s experience with these appraisers.

In the normal course of business, we make various commitments and incur certain contingent liabilities that are disclosed but not reflected in our annual financial statements including commitments to extend credit. At December 31, 2008, commitments to extend credit totaled $117.2 million for loans, $8.1 million for credit cards and $6.3 million related to letters of credit.

Construction Lending

We make local construction and land acquisition and development loans. Residential houses and commercial real estate under construction and the underlying land secure construction loans. At December 31, 2008, construction, land acquisition and land development loans outstanding were $102.8 million, or 12.6% of total loans. These loans are concentrated in our local markets. The average life of a construction loan is generally less than one year. Because the interest rate charged on these loans usually floats with the market, the rates charged assist us in managing our interest rate risk. 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. In addition, the value of the building under construction is only estimable when the loan funds are disbursed. Thus, it is more difficult to evaluate accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project and related loan-to-value ratios. To mitigate the risks associated with construction lending, we generally limit loan amounts to 80% of appraised value in addition to analyzing the creditworthiness of our borrowers. We also obtain a first lien on the property as security for its construction loans and typically require personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners.

Commercial Business Loans

Commercial business loans generally have a higher degree of risk than loans secured by real property but have higher yields. To manage these risks, we generally obtain appropriate collateral and personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners and monitor the financial condition of our business borrowers. Residential mortgage loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from employment and other income and are secured by real estate whose value tends to be readily 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 is substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Furthermore, the collateral for commercial business loans is heavily impacted by the economic environment and may depreciate over time and generally cannot be appraised with as much precision as residential real estate. We have a loan review and monitoring process to regularly assess the repayment ability of commercial borrowers. At December 31, 2008, commercial loans totaled $69.0 million, or 8.4% of the total loan portfolio.

Commercial Real Estate Lending

Various types of commercial real estate in our market area include commercial buildings and offices, recreational facilities, small shopping centers and churches, and other secured commercial real estate loans. At December 31, 2008, commercial real estate loans totaled $221.8 million, or 27.1% of our total loans. We may lend up to 80% of the secured property’s appraised value. Commercial real estate lending entails significant additional risk, compared with residential mortgage lending. Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Additionally, the payment experience on loans secured by income producing properties is typically dependent on the successful operation of a business or a real estate project and thus may be subject, to a greater extent, to adverse conditions in the real estate market or in the economic environment. Our commercial real estate loan underwriting criteria requires an examination of debt service coverage ratios, the borrower’s creditworthiness and prior credit history and reputation, and we typically require personal guarantees or endorsements of the borrowers’ principal owners. In addition, we carefully evaluate the location of the security property.

One-to-Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending

Residential one-to-four family mortgage loans comprise our total largest loan category. At December 31, 2008, this category of mortgage loans accounted for $372.1 million, or 45.4% of our total loan portfolio. Security for the majority of our residential lending is in the form of owner occupied one-to-four-family dwellings. Adjustable rate loans are $175.7 million of the residential real estate portfolio and are primarily 3-year adjustable rate mortgages.

All residential mortgage loans originated by us contain a “due-on-sale” clause providing that we may declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon sale or transfer of the mortgaged premises. In connection with residential real estate loans, we require title insurance, hazard insurance and if required, flood insurance. We do not require escrows for real estate taxes and insurance.

Consumer Lending

We offer various secured and unsecured consumer loans, including unsecured personal loans and lines of credit, automobile loans, boat loans, deposit account loans, installment and demand loans, credit cards, and home equity lines of credit and loans. At December 31, 2008, we had consumer loans, net of unearned interest, of $47.2 million or 5.8% of total loans. Such loans are generally made to customers with whom we have a pre-existing relationship. We currently originate all of our consumer loans in our geographic market area. Most of the consumer loans are made at fixed rates.

Consumer loans may entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans, 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 as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. Due to the relatively small amounts involved, 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 that can be recovered on such loans. Such loans may also give rise to claims and defenses by a consumer borrower against an assignee of collateral securing the loan, and a borrower may be able to assert against such assignee claims and defenses that it has against the seller of the underlying collateral. Consumer loan delinquencies often increase over time as the loans age.

The underwriting standards we employ to mitigate the risk for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and an assessment of ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. The stability of the applicant’s monthly income may be determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary employment and from any verifiable secondary income. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes an analysis of the value of the security in relation to the proposed loan amount.

Supervision and Regulation

We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which include, but are not limited to, the filing of annual, quarterly and other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As an Exchange Act reporting company, we are directly affected by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which seeks to improve corporate governance and reporting procedures by requiring expanded disclosure of our corporate operations and internal controls. We are already complying with SEC and other rules and regulations implemented pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and intend to comply with any applicable rules and regulations implemented in the future. Although we have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, additional expense in complying with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the resulting regulations, our management does not expect such compliance to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations in the future.

We are a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, and are registered as such with, and subject to the supervision of, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. A bank holding company is prohibited from engaging in or acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in non-banking activities. Subject to notice to the Federal Reserve or the Federal Reserve’s prior approval, a bank holding company may, however, engage in or acquire an interest in a company that engages in activities that the Federal Reserve has determined by regulation or order are so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to banking. In making these determinations, the Federal Reserve considers whether the performance of such activities by a bank holding company would offer advantages to the public that outweigh possible adverse effects. A bank holding company must seek the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before it acquires all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, and before it acquires ownership or control of the voting shares of any bank if, after giving effect to the acquisition, the bank holding company would own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. Federal Reserve approval is also required for the merger or consolidation of bank holding companies.

We file periodic reports with the Federal Reserve and must provide any additional information that the Federal Reserve may require. The Federal Reserve also has the authority to examine us and our nonbanking affiliates, as well as any arrangements between us and EVB, with the cost of any such examinations to be borne by us.

Banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies are subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal law in dealings with their holding companies and other affiliates. Subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Federal Reserve Act and Federal Reserve regulations promulgated thereunder, a bank can loan or extend credit to an affiliate, purchase or invest in the securities of an affiliate, purchase assets from an affiliate or issue a guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit on behalf of an affiliate, as long as the aggregate amount of such transactions of the bank and its subsidiaries with its affiliates does not exceed 10% of the capital stock and surplus of the bank on a per affiliate basis or 20% of the capital stock and surplus of the bank on an aggregate affiliate basis. In addition, such transactions must be on terms and conditions that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices. In particular, a bank and its subsidiaries generally may not purchase from an affiliate a low-quality asset, as defined in the Federal Reserve Act and Federal Reserve regulations promulgated thereunder. These restrictions also prevent the bank holding company and its other affiliates from borrowing from the bank unless the loans are secured by marketable collateral of designated amounts. Additionally, the bank holding company and the bank are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, sale or lease of property or furnishing of services, other than in connection with a traditional banking product such as a loan, discount, deposit or trust service.

As a Virginia-chartered, federally-insured bank, and Federal Reserve member, EVB is subject to regulation, supervision and regular examination by the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the Virginia State Corporation Commission and the Federal Reserve as its appropriate federal bank regulator. Moreover, EVB’s deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund, as administered by the FDIC, to the maximum amount permitted by law. Congress has enacted legislation authorizing the increase in deposit insurance coverage limits to $250,000 effective October 3, 2008 through December 31, 2009. On January 1, 2010, the standard coverage limit will return to $100,000 for all deposit categories except IRAs and certain retirement accounts, which will continue to be insured up to $250,000 per owner. In addition, EVB is participating in the FDIC’s “Transaction Account Guarantee Program.” Under this program, through December 31, 2009, all EVB non-interest bearing checking accounts, IOLTAs, and NOW accounts (paying interest of 0.50% or less) are fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account. This coverage is in addition to and separate from the coverage available under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules.

EVB pays insurance premiums on deposits in accordance with a deposit premium assessment system recently revised by the FDIC in accordance with the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (“FDIRA”), which required that the FDIC revise its current risk-based deposit premium system by November 2006. The revised rules impose deposit insurance premium assessments based upon perceived risks to the Deposit Insurance Fund, by evaluating an institution’s CAMELS (Capital, Assets, Management, Earnings, Liquidity and Sensitivity to market risk) ratios and other financial ratios and then determining insurance premiums based upon the likelihood an institution could be downgraded to a CAMELS 3 or worse in the succeeding year. As a result, institutions deemed to pose less risk would pay lower premiums than those institutions deemed to pose more risk, which would pay more. Although EVB is not considered a high risk institution by these standards, the changes in coverage and premium assessments described above have resulted in a substantial increase in our deposit premium assessments; we have estimated that our 2009 assessment will be approximately $1.2 million, compared to an assessment of $545 thousand (before an $80 thousand credit carryover from prior years) in 2008.

The regulations of the Bureau of Financial Institutions, FDIC and Federal Reserve govern most aspects of our business, including deposit reserve requirements, investments, loans, certain check clearing activities, issuance of securities, branching, payment of dividends and numerous other matters. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities in the United States, our business is particularly susceptible to changes in legislation and regulations, which may have the effect of increasing the cost of doing business, limiting permissible activities or increasing competition. The likelihood and timing of any legislation or regulatory modifications and the impact they might have on us or EVB cannot be determined at this time.

Change of Control.

Federal Reserve approval would be required prior to any acquisition of control of us. “Control” is conclusively presumed to exist if a person or company acquires, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of any class of voting stock of a company, controls in any manner the election of a majority of directors or the power to exercise directly or indirectly a controlling influence over management or policies of a company. Under Federal Reserve regulations, control is also presumed to exist, subject to rebuttal, if a person acquires more than 10% of any class of voting stock and no other person will own, control or hold the power to vote a greater percentage of that class of voting shares immediately after the transaction. Under the Bank Holding Company Act, a corporate acquirer of control of a company must register with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and be subject to the activities limitations of the Bank Holding Company Act. Non-controlling acquirers of more than 10% but less than 25% of a company’s voting securities also may be required to enter into certain passivity commitments, to ensure they lack an ability to control the company.

Governmental Policies and Legislation

Banking is a business that depends primarily on interest rate differentials. In general, the difference between the interest rates paid by the bank on its deposits and its other borrowings and the interest rates received by the bank on loans extended to its customers and securities held in its portfolio comprise the major portion of our earnings. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. Accordingly, our growth and earnings are subject to the influence of domestic and foreign economic conditions, including inflation, recession and unemployment.

Table of Contents

The commercial banking business is affected not only by general economic conditions, but is also influenced by the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and the policies of its regulatory agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve implements national monetary policies (with objectives such as curbing inflation and combating recession) by its open-market operations in U.S. Government securities, by adjusting the required level of reserves for financial institutions subject to its reserve requirements and by varying the discount rates applicable to borrowings by depository institutions. The actions of the Federal Reserve in these areas influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits, and also affect interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The nature and impact of any future changes in monetary policies cannot be predicted.

From time to time, legislation is enacted that has the effect of increasing the cost of doing business, limiting or expanding permissible activities or affecting the competitive balance between banks and other financial institutions. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the operations and taxation of bank holding companies, banks and other financial institutions are frequently made in Congress and in the Virginia Legislature and are brought before various bank regulatory agencies. The likelihood of any major changes and the impact such changes might have are impossible to predict.

Dividends

We are organized under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, which prohibits the payment of a dividend if, after giving it effect, the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or if the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of any preferred shareholders.

We are a legal entity separate and distinct from our subsidiaries. Our ability to distribute cash dividends will depend primarily on the ability of EVB to pay dividends to us, and EVB is subject to laws and regulations that limit the amount of dividends that it can pay. As a state member bank, EVB is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the reserve and capital requirements of federal and Virginia banking statutes and regulations. Under Virginia law, a bank may not declare a dividend in excess of its undivided profits. Additionally, EVB may not declare a dividend if the total amount of all dividends, including the proposed dividend, declared by it in any calendar year exceeds the total of its retained net income of that year to date, combined with its retained net income of the two preceding years, unless the dividend is approved by the Federal Reserve.

The Federal Reserve and the state have the general authority to limit the dividends paid by insured banks if the payment is deemed an unsafe and unsound practice. Both the state and the Federal Reserve have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a bank’s capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsound and unsafe banking practice. Under the Federal Reserve’s regulations, EVB may not declare or pay any dividend in excess of its net income for the current year plus any retained net income from the prior two calendar years. EVB may also not declare or pay a dividend without the approval of its board and two-thirds of its shareholders if the dividend would exceed its undivided profits, as reported to the Federal Reserve.

In addition, we are subject to certain regulatory requirements to maintain capital to satisfy certain required regulatory minimums. These regulatory requirements regarding capital affect our dividend policies. Banking regulators have indicated that a bank holding company should generally pay dividends only if its 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.

Capital Requirements

The Federal Reserve and the FDIC have adopted risk-based capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies and banks. These capital adequacy regulations are based upon a risk-based capital determination, and a bank holding company’s capital adequacy is determined in light of the risk, both on- and off-balance sheet, contained in the company’s assets. Different categories of assets are assigned risk weightings and are counted at a percentage of their book value.

The regulations divide capital between Tier 1 capital (“core capital”) and Tier 2 capital. For a bank holding company, Tier 1 capital consists primarily of common stock, related surplus, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries. Restricted core capital elements, including qualifying trust preferred securities, qualifying cumulative perpetual preferred stock and certain minority interests, may be treated as Tier 1 capital in an amount up to 25% of total Tier 1 capital. The excess, if any, of such securities may be included in Tier 2 capital. Goodwill and certain other intangibles are excluded from Tier 1 capital. Tier 2 capital consists of an amount equal to the allowance for loan and lease losses up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk weighted assets, limited other types of preferred stock not included in Tier 1 capital, hybrid capital instruments and term subordinated debt. Investments in and loans to unconsolidated banking and finance subsidiaries that constitute capital of those subsidiaries are excluded from capital. The sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital constitutes qualifying total capital. The guidelines generally require banks to maintain a total qualifying capital to weighted risk assets level of 8% (the “total capital ratio”). Of the total 8%, at least 4% of the total qualifying capital to weighted risk assets (the “Tier 1 capital ratio”) must be Tier 1 capital.

The Federal Reserve and the FDIC have adopted leverage requirements that apply in addition to the risk-based capital requirements. Banks and bank holding companies are required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets (the “leverage capital ratio”) of at least 3.0% for the most highly-rated, financially sound banks and bank holding companies and a minimum leverage capital ratio of at least 4.0% for all other banks. The FDIC and the Federal Reserve define Tier 1 capital for banks in the same manner for both the leverage capital ratio and the total capital ratio. However, the Federal Reserve defines Tier 1 capital for bank holding companies in a slightly different manner. An institution may be required to maintain Tier 1 capital of at least 4% or 5%, or possibly higher, depending upon the activities, risks, rate of growth, and other factors deemed material by regulatory authorities. As of December 31, 2008, we and our subsidiary bank EVB both met all applicable capital requirements imposed by regulation.

Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Prompt Corrective Action Requirements

As an insured depository institution, EVB is required to comply with the capital requirements promulgated under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the Federal Reserve’s prompt corrective action regulations thereunder, which set forth five capital categories, each with specific regulatory consequences. Under these regulations, the categories are:

 

   

Well Capitalized — The institution exceeds the required minimum level for each relevant capital measure. A well capitalized institution is one (i) having a total capital ratio of 10% or greater, (ii) having a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6% or greater, (iii) having a leverage capital ratio of 5% or greater and (iv) that is not subject to any order or written directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.

 

   

Adequately Capitalized — The institution meets the required minimum level for each relevant capital measure. No capital distribution may be made that would result in the institution becoming undercapitalized. An adequately capitalized institution is one (i) having a total capital ratio of 8% or greater, (ii) having a Tier 1 capital ratio of 4% or greater and (iii) having a leverage capital ratio of 4% or greater or a leverage capital ratio of 3% or greater if the institution is rated composite 1 under the CAMELS rating system.

 

12


Table of Contents
   

Undercapitalized — The institution fails to meet the required minimum level for any relevant capital measure. An undercapitalized institution is one (i) having a total capital ratio of less than 8% or (ii) having a Tier 1 capital ratio of less than 4% or (iii) having a leverage capital ratio of less than 4%, or if the institution is rated a composite 1 under the CAMEL rating system, a leverage capital ratio of less than 3%.

 

   

Significantly Undercapitalized — The institution is significantly below the required minimum level for any relevant capital measure. A significantly undercapitalized institution is one (i) having a total capital ratio of less than 6% or (ii) having a Tier 1 capital ratio of less than 3% or (iii) having a leverage capital ratio of less than 3%.

 

   

Critically Undercapitalized — The institution fails to meet a critical capital level set by the appropriate federal banking agency. A critically undercapitalized institution is one having a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%.

If the appropriate federal banking regulator determines, after notice and an opportunity for hearing, that a bank is in an unsafe or unsound condition, the regulator is authorized to reclassify the bank to the next lower capital category (other than critically undercapitalized) and require the submission of a plan to correct the unsafe or unsound condition.

If a bank is not well capitalized, it cannot accept brokered deposits without prior FDIC approval and, if approval is granted, cannot offer an effective yield in excess of 75 basis points on interest paid on deposits of comparable size and maturity in such institution’s normal market area for deposits accepted from within its normal market area, or national rate paid on deposits of comparable size and maturity for deposits accepted outside the bank’s normal market area. Moreover, if a bank becomes less than adequately capitalized, it must adopt a capital restoration plan acceptable to the appropriate federal regulator that is subject to a limited performance guarantee by the bank. A bank also would become subject to increased regulatory oversight and is increasingly restricted in the scope of its permissible activities. Each company having control over an undercapitalized institution also must provide a limited guarantee that the institution will comply with its capital restoration plan.

Except under limited circumstances consistent with an accepted capital restoration plan, an undercapitalized institution may not grow. An undercapitalized institution may not acquire another institution, establish additional branch offices or engage in any new line of business unless determined by the appropriate Federal banking agency to be consistent with an accepted capital restoration plan, or unless the FDIC determines that the proposed action will further the purpose of prompt corrective action. The appropriate federal banking agency may take any action authorized for a significantly undercapitalized institution if an undercapitalized institution fails to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan or fails in any material respect to implement a plan accepted by the agency. A critically undercapitalized institution is subject to having a receiver or conservator appointed to manage its affairs and for loss of its charter to conduct banking activities.

An insured depository institution may not pay a management fee to a bank holding company controlling that institution or any other person having control of the institution if, after making the payment, the institution, would be undercapitalized. In addition, an institution cannot make a capital distribution, such as a dividend or other distribution that is in substance a distribution of capital to the owners of the institution if following such a distribution the institution would be undercapitalized. Thus, if payment of such a management fee or the making of such would cause the bank to become undercapitalized, it could not pay a management fee or dividend to us.

As of December 31, 2008, both we and EVB were considered “well capitalized.”

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 implemented major changes to the statutory framework for providing banking and other financial services in the United States. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, among other things, eliminated many of the restrictions on affiliations among banks and securities firms, insurance firms and other financial service providers. A bank holding company that qualifies as a financial holding company will be permitted to engage in activities that are financial in nature or incidental or complimentary to financial activities. The activities that the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act expressly lists as financial in nature include insurance underwriting, sales and brokerage activities, providing financial and investment advisory services, underwriting services and limited merchant banking activities.

To become eligible for these expanded activities, a bank holding company must qualify as a financial holding company. To qualify as a financial holding company, each insured depository institution controlled by the bank holding company must be well-capitalized, well-managed and have at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act (discussed below). In addition, a bank holding company must file with the Federal Reserve a declaration of its intention to become a financial holding company. While we satisfy these requirements, we do not contemplate seeking to become a financial holding company unless we identify significant specific benefits from doing so.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act has not had a material adverse impact on our operations. To the extent that it allows banks, securities firms and insurance firms to affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further consolidation.

Privacy and Fair Credit Reporting

Financial institutions, such as our subsidiary bank EVB, are required to disclose their privacy policies to customers and consumers and require that such customers or consumers be given a choice (through an opt-out notice) to forbid the sharing of nonpublic personal information about them with nonaffiliated third persons. EVB has a written privacy policy that is delivered to each of its customers when customer relationships begin and annually thereafter. In accordance with the privacy policy, EVB will protect the security of information about its customers, educate its employees about the importance of protecting customer privacy, and allow its customers to remove their names from the solicitation lists they use and share with others. EVB requires business partners with whom it shares such information to have adequate security safeguards and to abide by the re-disclosure and reuse provisions of applicable law. EVB has programs to fulfill the expressed requests of customers and consumers to opt out of information sharing subject to applicable law. In addition to adopting federal requirements regarding privacy, individual states are authorized to enact more stringent laws relating to the use of customer information. To date, Virginia has not done so, but is authorized to consider proposals that would impose additional requirements or restrictions on EVB. If the federal or state regulators establish further guidelines for addressing customer privacy issues, EVB may need to amend its privacy policies and adapt its internal procedures.

Community Reinvestment Act

EVB is subject to the requirements of the CRA. The CRA imposes on financial institutions an affirmative and ongoing obligation to meet the credit needs of their local communities, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions. A financial institution’s efforts in meeting community credit needs are currently evaluated as part of the examination process pursuant to three performance tests. These factors also are considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or facility.

USA PATRIOT Act

The USA PATRIOT Act became effective on October 26, 2001 and provides, in part, for the facilitation of information sharing among governmental entities and financial institutions for the purpose of combating terrorism and money laundering by enhancing anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws, as well as enhanced

information collection tools and enforcement mechanics for the U.S. government, including: (i) requiring standards for verifying customer identification at account opening; (ii) rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators, and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering; (iii) reports by nonfinancial trades and businesses filed with the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network for currency transactions exceeding $10,000; (iv) filing suspicious activities reports if a bank believes a customer may be violating U.S. laws and regulations; and (v) requiring enhanced due diligence requirements for financial institutions that administer, maintain, or manage private bank accounts or correspondent accounts for non-U.S. persons.

Under the USA PATRIOT Act, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) has sent, and will send, our banking regulatory agencies lists of the names of persons suspected of involvement in terrorist activities. The bank has been requested, and will be requested, to search its records for any relationships or transactions with persons on those lists. If the bank finds any relationships or transactions, it must file a suspicious activity report and contact the FBI.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), which is a division of the Department of the Treasury, is responsible for helping to insure that United States entities do not engage in transactions with “enemies” of the United States, as defined by various Executive Orders and Acts of Congress. OFAC has sent, and will send, our banking regulatory agencies lists of names of persons and organizations suspected of aiding, harboring or engaging in terrorist acts. If the bank finds a name on any transaction, account or wire transfer that is on an OFAC list, it must freeze the account and block any transactions from the account, file a suspicious activity report and notify the FBI. The bank has appointed an OFAC compliance officer to oversee the inspection of its accounts and the filing of any notifications. The bank actively checks high-risk OFAC areas such as new accounts, wire transfers and customer files. The bank performs these checks utilizing software, which is updated each time a modification is made to the lists provided by OFAC and other agencies of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons.

The federal financial institution regulators also have promulgated rules and regulations implementing the USA PATRIOT Act, which (i) prohibit U.S. correspondent accounts with foreign banks that have no physical presence in any jurisdiction, (ii) require financial institutions to maintain certain records for correspondent accounts of foreign banks, (iii) require financial institutions to produce certain records relating to anti-money laundering compliance upon the request of the appropriate federal banking agency, (iv) require due diligence with respect to private banking and correspondent banking accounts, (v) facilitate information sharing between government and financial institutions, (vi) require verification of customer identification, and (vii) require financial institutions to have in place an anti-money laundering program.

Consumer Laws and Regulations

The bank is also subject to certain consumer laws and regulations that are designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks. While the list set forth herein is not exhaustive, these laws and regulations include the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Service Members’ Civil Relief Act, and implementing regulations promulgated thereunder. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions transact business with customers. The bank must comply with the applicable provisions of these consumer protection laws and regulations as part of its ongoing customer relations.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in our common stock involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below in conjunction with the other information in this Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks or other risks that have not been identified

Table of Contents

or that we may believe are immaterial or unlikely to actually occur, were to occur, then our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. This could cause the price of our stock to decline, and you may lose part or all of your investment. This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements about our future plans, objectives, intentions and expectations. Past results are not a reliable indicator of future results, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Many factors, including those described below, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements.

Difficult market conditions have adversely affected our industry.

Dramatic declines in the housing market over the past year, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures, unemployment and under-employment, have negatively impacted the credit performance of real estate related loans and resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions. These write-downs, initially of asset-backed securities but spreading to other securities and loans, have caused many financial institutions to seek additional capital, to reduce or eliminate dividends, to merge with larger and stronger institutions and, in some cases, to fail. Reflecting concern about the stability of the financial markets generally and the strength of counterparties, many lenders and institutional investors have reduced or ceased providing funding to borrowers, including to other financial institutions. This market turmoil and tightening of credit have led to an increased level of commercial and consumer delinquencies, lack of consumer confidence, increased market volatility and widespread reduction of business activity generally. The resulting economic pressure on consumers and lack of confidence in the financial markets has adversely affected our business, financial condition and results of operations. Market developments may affect consumer confidence levels and may cause adverse changes in payment patterns, causing increases in delinquencies and default rates, which may impact our charge-offs and provision for credit losses. A worsening of these conditions would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions on us and others in the financial institutions industry.

Current levels of market volatility are unprecedented.

The capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption for more than 12 months. Recently, the volatility and disruption has reached unprecedented levels. In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit availability for certain issuers without regard to those issuers’ underlying financial strength. If current levels of market disruption and volatility continue or worsen, there can be no assurance that we will not experience an adverse effect, which may be material, on our ability to access capital and on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect us.

Our ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty or other relationships. We have exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and we routinely execute transactions with counterparties in the financial industry. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services institutions, or the financial services industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions. Many of these transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of default of our counterparty or client. In addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by us cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the financial instrument exposure due us. To prepare us for these possibilities, we monitor the financial soundness of companies we deal with. However, there is no assurance that any such losses would not materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

There can be no assurance that recently enacted legislation will stabilize the U.S. financial system.

On October 3, 2008, President Bush signed into law the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”). The legislation was the result of a proposal by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to the U.S. Congress in response to the financial crises affecting the banking system and financial markets and threats to investment banks

and other financial institutions. Pursuant to the EESA, the U.S. Treasury will have the authority to, among other things, purchase up to $700 billion of mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets. On October 14, 2008, the U.S. Department of Treasury announced a program under the EESA pursuant to which it would make senior preferred stock investments in participating financial institutions (the “TARP Capital Purchase Program”). On October 14, 2008, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced the development of a guarantee program under the systemic risk exception to the Federal Deposit Act (“FDA”) pursuant to which the FDIC would offer a guarantee of certain financial institution indebtedness in exchange for an insurance premium to be paid to the FDIC by issuing financial institutions (the “FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program”). Most recently, on February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “ARRA”), which contains a wide array of provisions aimed at stimulating the U.S. economy.

There can be no assurance, however, as to the actual impact that the EESA, ARRA and their implementing regulations, the FDIC programs, or any other governmental program will have on the financial markets. The failure of the EESA, ARRA, the FDIC, or the U.S. government to stabilize the financial markets and a continuation or worsening of current financial market conditions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, access to credit or the trading price of our common stock.

The impact on us of recently enacted legislation, in particular the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and their implementing regulations, and actions by the FDIC, cannot be predicted at this time.

The programs established or to be established under the EESA, ARRA and Troubled Asset Relief Program may have adverse effects upon us. We may face increased regulation of our industry. Compliance with such regulation may increase our costs and limit our ability to pursue business opportunities. Also, participation in specific programs may subject us to additional restrictions. For example, participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program will limit (without the consent of the Department of Treasury) our ability to increase our dividend or to repurchase our common stock for so long as any securities issued under such program remain outstanding. It will also subject us to additional executive compensation restrictions. Similarly, programs established by the FDIC under the systemic risk exception of the FDA, whether we participate or not, may have an adverse effect on us. Participation in the FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program likely will require the payment of additional insurance premiums to the FDIC. We may be required to pay significantly higher Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums even if we do not participate in the FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program because market developments have significantly depleted the insurance fund of the FDIC and reduced the ratio of reserves to insured deposits. The affects of participating or not participating in any such programs and the extent of our participation in such programs cannot reliably be determined at this time.

We may incur losses if we are unable to successfully manage interest rate risk.

Our profitability will depend in substantial part upon the spread between the interest rates earned on investments and loans and the interest rates paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. These rates are normally in line with general market rates and rise and fall based on the asset liability committee’s view of our needs. However, we may pay above-market rates to attract deposits as we have done in some of our marketing promotions in the past. Changes in interest rates will affect our operating performance and financial condition in diverse ways including the pricing of securities, loans and deposits, and the volume of loan originations in our mortgage banking business. We attempt to minimize our exposure to interest rate risk, but we are unable to completely eliminate this risk. Our net interest spread will depend on many factors that are partly or entirely outside our control, including competition, federal economic, monetary and fiscal policies, and economic conditions generally. Our net interest income will be adversely affected if market interest rates change so that the interest we pay on deposits and borrowings increases faster than the interest we earn on loans and investments.

We are experiencing strong competition from other banks and financial institutions for deposits. We may offer more competitive rates to our customers or find alternative funding sources to fund the growth in our loan portfolio. In 2008 and 2007, deposit growth was not sufficient to fund our loan growth. In 2007, we were able to utilize the $23.5 million from our stock offering in late 2006 to fund loan growth early in the year. In addition, as we did in 2006, we used Federal Home Loan Bank advances and principal and interest payments on available-for-sale securities to make up the difference. In 2008, we borrowed from the FHLB early in the year but were able to fund a large part of our loan growth from the deposits we acquired from our purchase of 2 branches.

We rely heavily on our management team and the unexpected loss of any of those personnel could adversely affect our operations; we depend on our ability to attract and retain key personnel.

We are a customer-focused and relationship-driven organization. We expect our future growth to be driven in a large part by the relationships maintained with our customers by our president and chief executive officer and other senior officers. We have entered into employment agreements with six of our executive officers. The existence of such agreements, however, does not necessarily assure that we will be able to continue to retain their services. The unexpected loss of any of our key employees could have an adverse effect on our business and possibly result in reduced revenues and earnings. We do maintain bank-owned life insurance on key officers that would help cover some of the economic impact of a loss caused by death. The implementation of our business strategy will also 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 concentration in loans secured by real estate may increase our credit losses, which would negatively affect our financial results.

We offer a variety of secured loans, including commercial lines of credit, commercial term loans, real estate, construction, home equity, consumer and other loans. Many of our loans are secured by real estate (both residential and commercial) in our market area. Consequently, a decline in local economic conditions may have a greater effect on our earnings and capital than on the earnings and capital of larger financial institutions whose real estate loan portfolios are geographically diverse.

In addition to the financial strength and cash flow characteristics of the borrower in each case, we often secure loans with real estate collateral. At December 31, 2008, approximately 85.0% of our loans have real estate as a primary or secondary component of collateral. The real estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower and may deteriorate in value during the time the credit is extended. If we are required to liquidate the collateral securing a loan to satisfy the debt during a period of reduced real estate values, our earnings and capital could be adversely affected.

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. While the subprime loan problems of the financial industry did not have a direct impact on us in 2007 and early 2008, the economic implosion caused by the economic melt down in the last half of 2008 has increased the risk in our earning asset portfolios. The economy for the near-term is expected to be unsettled with the potential for more downturns. Since we cannot fully eliminate credit risk and impact of the current economy, credit losses may occur in the future.

We have a concentration of credit exposure in acquisition and development (“ADC”) real estate loans.

At December 31, 2008, we had approximately $102.8 million in loans for the acquisition and development of real estate and for construction of improvements to real estate, representing approximately 12.6% of our total loans outstanding as of that date. These loans are to developers, builders and individuals. Project types financed include acquisition and development of residential subdivisions and commercial developments, builder lines for 1-4 family

 

18


Table of Contents

home construction and loans to individuals for primary and secondary residence construction. These types of loans are generally viewed as having more risk of default than residential real estate loans. Completion of development projects and sale of developed properties may be affected significantly by general economic conditions, and further downturn in the local economy or in occupancy rates in the local economy where the property is located could increase the likelihood of default. Because our loan portfolio contains acquisition and development loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in our percentage of non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans could result in a loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for loan losses and an increase in charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our ADC loans have grown 4.0% since December 31, 2007. The banking regulators are giving ADC lending greater scrutiny, and may require banks with higher levels of ADC loans to implement improved underwriting, internal controls, risk management policies and portfolio stress testing, as well as possibly higher levels of allowances for losses and capital levels as a result of ADC lending growth and exposures.

In 2008, the company increased its allowance for loan losses by $2.7 million or 33.6% to match potential losses in our loan portfolio. Of this amount, a little over $1.0 million was allocated to the ADC type loans. We will continue to monitor our situation and make adjustments as warranted.

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

We operate in a mixed market environment with influences from both rural and urban areas. Because our lending operation is concentrated in the Eastern, Richmond and Tidewater areas of Virginia, we will be affected by the general economic conditions in these markets. Changes in the local economy may influence the growth rate of our loans and deposits, the quality of the loan portfolio, and loan and deposit pricing. A 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. Although we might not have significant credit exposure to all the businesses in our areas, the downturn in any of these businesses could have a negative impact on local economic conditions and real estate collateral values generally, which could negatively affect our profitability.

Our small to medium-sized business target market may have fewer financial resources to weather a downturn in the economy.

We target our commercial development and marketing strategy primarily to serve the banking and financial services needs of small and medium-sized businesses. These businesses generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities. If general economic conditions negatively impact this major economic sector in the markets in which we operate, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

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

We face 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. A number of these banks and other financial institutions are significantly larger than we are and have substantially 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 are not subject to the same extensive regulations that govern us. As a result, these non-bank competitors have advantages over us in providing certain services. While we believe we compete effectively with these other financial institutions in our primary markets, we may face a competitive disadvantage as a result of our smaller size,

 

19


Table of Contents

smaller asset base, lack of geographic diversification and inability to spread our marketing costs across a broader market. If we have to raise interest rates paid on deposits or lower interest rates charged on loans to compete effectively, our net interest margin and income could be negatively affected. Failure to compete effectively to attract new, or to retain existing, clients may reduce or limit our margins and our market share and may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and growth.

If our allowance for loan losses becomes inadequate, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

We maintain an allowance for loan losses that we believe is a reasonable estimate of probable and inherent losses in our loan portfolio. Through a periodic review and consideration of the loan portfolio, management determines the amount of the allowance for loan losses by considering general market conditions, credit quality of the loan portfolio, the collateral supporting the loans and performance of our customers relative to their financial obligations with us. The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates, which may be beyond our control, and these losses may exceed our current estimates. Rapidly growing loan portfolios are, by their nature, unseasoned. As a result, estimating loan loss allowances is more difficult, and may be more susceptible to changes in estimates, and to losses exceeding estimates, than more seasoned portfolios.

Although we believe the allowance for loan losses is a reasonable estimate of probable and inherent losses in our loan portfolio, we cannot fully predict such losses or that our loan loss allowance will be adequate in the future. Excessive loan losses could have a material impact on our financial performance. Consistent with our loan loss reserve methodology, we expect to make additions to our loan loss reserve levels as a result of our loan growth, which may affect our short-term earnings.

Federal and state regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of our management. Any increase in the amount of our provision or loans charged-off as required by these regulatory agencies could have a negative effect on our operating results.

We may not be able to successfully manage our growth, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

During the last five years, we have experienced significant growth, and a key aspect of our business strategy is our continued growth and expansion. Our ability to continue to grow depends, in part, upon our ability to:

 

   

open new branch offices or acquire existing branches or other financial institutions;

 

   

attract deposits to those locations; and

 

   

identify attractive loan and investment opportunities.

We may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy if we are unable to identify attractive markets, locations or opportunities to expand in the future. Our ability to manage our growth successfully also will depend on whether we can maintain capital levels adequate to support our growth, maintain cost controls and asset quality and successfully integrate any businesses we acquire into our organization. As we continue to implement our growth strategy by opening new branches or acquiring branches or other banks, we expect to incur increased personnel, occupancy and other operating expenses. In the case of new branches, we must absorb those higher expenses while we begin to generate new deposits, and there is a further time lag involved in redeploying new deposits into attractively priced loans and other higher yielding earning assets. Thus, our plans for branch expansion could decrease our earnings in the short run, even if we efficiently execute our branching strategy.

 

20


Table of Contents

We could sustain losses if our asset quality declines.

Our earnings are significantly affected by our ability to properly originate, underwrite and service loans. We could sustain losses if we incorrectly assess the creditworthiness of our borrowers or fail to detect or respond to deterioration in asset quality in a timely manner. Problems with asset quality could cause our interest income and net interest margin to decrease and our provisions for loan losses to increase, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We may face risks with respect to de novo banking opportunities and future acquisitions.

As a strategy, we have sought to increase the size of our franchise by pursuing business development opportunities, and we have grown rapidly since we were formed. As part of that strategy, we have grown primarily through opening new branches. We also acquired three branches in 2003, and purchased two branches in the first quarter of 2008. We may acquire other branches or financial institutions in the future, if a desirable opportunity presents itself. Growth through new branches or acquisitions involves a number of risks, including:

 

   

the time and costs associated with identifying and evaluating where we should open a new branch and who may be a favorable acquisition or merger partner;

 

   

the estimates and judgments used to evaluate credit, operations, management and market risks with respect to any growth opportunity may not be accurate;

 

   

the time and costs of evaluating new markets, hiring experienced local management and opening new offices, and the time lags between these activities and the generation of sufficient assets and deposits to support the costs of the expansion;

 

   

entry into new markets where we lack experience;

 

   

our ability to finance an acquisition and possible ownership and economic dilution to our shareholders;

 

   

the diversion of our management’s attention to the negotiation of a transaction, and the integration of the operations and personnel of the combining businesses;

 

   

the introduction of new products and services into our business;

 

   

the incurrence and possible impairment of goodwill associated with an acquisition and possible adverse short-term effects on our results of operations; and

 

   

the loss of key employees and clients.

We may incur substantial costs to expand, and we can give no assurance such expansion will result in the levels of profits we seek. There can be no assurance that integration efforts for any new branches or future mergers or acquisitions will be successful. Also, we may issue equity securities, including common stock and securities convertible into shares of our common stock, in connection with future acquisitions, which could cause ownership and economic dilution to our shareholders. There is no assurance that, following any future merger or acquisition, our integration efforts will be successful or we, after giving effect to the acquisition, will achieve profits comparable to or better than our historical experience.

Our profitability may suffer because of rapid and unpredictable changes in the highly regulated environment in which we operate.

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 fund maintained by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation rather than our shareholders. 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 changes in regulations could adversely affect us. The burden imposed by these federal and state regulations may place banks in a competitive disadvantage compared to less regulated competitors. In addition, the cost of compliance with regulatory requirements could adversely affect our ability to operate profitably. See “Supervision and Regulation” for more information about applicable banking laws and regulations.

 

21


Table of Contents

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the related rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ that are applicable to us, have increased the scope, complexity and cost of corporate governance, reporting and disclosure practices, including the cost of completing our audit and maintaining our internal controls. As a result, we may experience greater compliance costs.

We may identify a material weakness or a significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting that may adversely affect our ability to properly account for non-routine transactions.

As we have grown and expanded, we have acquired and added, and expect to continue to acquire and add, businesses and other activities that complement our core retail and commercial banking functions. Such acquisitions or additions frequently involve complex operational and financial reporting issues that can influence management’s internal control system. While we make every effort to thoroughly understand any new activity or acquired entity’s business processes, our planning for proper integration into our company can give no assurance that we will not encounter operational and financial reporting difficulties impacting our internal control over financial reporting.

If we need additional capital in the future to continue our growth, we may not be able to obtain it on terms that are favorable. This could negatively affect our performance and the value of our common stock.

Our business strategy calls for continued growth. We anticipate that we will be able to support this growth through the generation of additional deposits at new branch locations, as well as investment opportunities. However, we may need to raise additional capital in the future to support our continued growth and to maintain our capital levels. Our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional securities will depend primarily upon our financial condition and the condition of financial markets at that time. We may not be able to obtain additional capital in the amounts or on terms satisfactory to us. Our growth may be constrained if we are unable to raise additional capital as needed.

Liquidity needs could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We rely on dividends from our bank as our primary source of funds. The primary sources of funds of our bank are client deposits and loan repayments. While scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, they are subject to the ability of borrowers to repay the loans. The ability of borrowers to repay loans can be adversely affected by a number of factors, including changes in economic conditions, adverse trends or events affecting business industry groups, reductions in real estate values or markets, business closings or lay-offs, inclement weather, natural disasters and international instability. Additionally, deposit levels may be affected by a number of factors, including rates paid by competitors, general interest rate levels, regulatory capital requirements, returns available to clients on alternative investments and general economic conditions. Accordingly, we may be required from time to time to rely on secondary sources of liquidity to meet withdrawal demands or otherwise fund operations. Such sources include Federal Home Loan Bank advances, sales of securities and loans, and federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks, as well as out-of-market time deposits. While we believe that these sources are currently adequate, there can be no assurance they will be sufficient to meet future liquidity demands, particularly if we continue to grow and experience increasing loan demand. We may be required to slow or discontinue loan growth, capital expenditures or other investments or liquidate assets should such sources not be adequate.

Our recent results may not be indicative of our future results.

We may not be able to sustain our historical rate of growth or may not even be able to grow our business at all. In addition, our recent and rapid growth may distort some of our historical financial ratios and statistics. In the future, we may be subject to various factors that may influence our performance such as the interest rate environment which can have drastic swings that impact our revenue stream and cost of funds, the state of the real estate market and the valuations associated with property that is collateral on loans, or the ability to find suitable expansion opportunities. Other factors, such as economic conditions, regulatory and legislative considerations and competition, may also impede or prohibit our ability to expand our market presence. If we experience a significant decrease in our historical rate of growth, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected due to a high percentage of our operating costs being fixed expenses.

We depend on the accuracy and completeness of information about clients and counterparties.

In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions with clients and counterparties, we may rely on information furnished to us by or on behalf of clients and counterparties, including financial statements and other financial information. We also rely on representations of clients and counterparties as to the accuracy and completeness of that information and, with respect to financial statements, on reports of independent auditors. For example, in deciding whether to extend credit to clients, we assume that a customer’s audited financial statements conform with GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the customer. Our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted to the extent we rely on financial statements that do not comply with GAAP or are materially misleading.

Item 2. Properties

Our principal executive offices are located at 330 Hospital Road, Tappahannock, Virginia 22560 where a 15,632 square foot corporate headquarters and operations center was opened in July 2003. We merged our three subsidiary banks into one bank in April 2006. At the end of 2008, EVB owned 25 full service branch buildings including the land on which 19 of those buildings are located and two remote drive-in facilities. Six branch office buildings are leased at current market rates. The counties of Gloucester, Northumberland and Middlesex are each the home to three of our branches. Essex and King William County are home to two branch offices. In addition, Essex County houses the EVB loan administration center and the corporate/operations center. Hanover County houses four branch offices (two of which are leased) while Caroline, Henrico, Lancaster, New Kent, Southampton, Surry, Sussex Counties and Colonial Heights each have one full service branch office. Southampton County and Sussex County also have stand-alone drive-in/automated teller machine locations. All properties are in good condition. The land on which the Hartfield office is located is under long-term lease.

In March 2008 we purchased two branches with leased facilities. One is in Henrico County and the other is in Colonial Heights. In New Kent County, our temporary office moved into a permanent, owned location in September of 2008. Also in 2008, we purchased a 5.5 acre parcel of unimproved land on Walnut Grove Road in Hanover County in anticipation of future growth needs.

While the existing locations are meeting our needs, and many may meet our needs into the future, we are a growing entity and are frequently reevaluating our locations and space needs. Our strategy of continued growth through purchases, relocations or de novo branching may require expansions or relocations in the future.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We and our subsidiaries are not aware of any material pending or threatened litigation, unasserted claims and/or assessments. The only litigation in which we and our subsidiaries are involved consists of collection suits involving delinquent loan accounts in the normal course of business and deposit disputes which management estimates will not have a material impact on our financial condition.

 

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Dividend Policy

We have historically paid cash dividends on a quarterly basis. However, we cannot assure you that we will continue to pay cash dividends on any particular schedule or that we will not reduce the amount of dividends we pay in the future. Our future dividend policy is subject to the discretion of the board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors deemed relevant by our board, including but not limited to the future consolidated earnings, financial condition, liquidity, capital requirements for us and EVB, applicable governmental regulations and policies.

As a result of our issuance of preferred stock to the Treasury on January 9, 2009, some new requirements will be in effect. The Preferred Stock is in a superior ownership position compared to common stock. Dividends must be paid to the preferred stock holder before they can be paid to the common stock holder. In addition, prior to January 9, 2012, unless the Company has redeemed the Preferred Stock or the Treasury has transferred the Preferred Stock to a third party, the consent of the Treasury will be required for the Company to increase its common stock dividend or repurchase its common stock or other equity or capital securities, other than in certain circumstances specified in the Purchase Agreement. If the dividends on the Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six (6) quarterly dividend periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the Company’s authorized number of directors will be automatically increased by two (2) and the holders of the Preferred Stock will have the right to elect those directors at the Company’s next annual meeting or at a special meeting called for that purpose; these two directors will be elected annually and will serve until all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past dividend periods have been declared and paid in full.

We are organized under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, which prohibits the payment of a dividend if, after giving it effect, the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or if the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of any preferred shareholders.

We are a legal entity separate and distinct from our subsidiaries. Our ability to distribute cash dividends will depend primarily on the ability of EVB to pay dividends to us, and EVB is subject to laws and regulations that limit the amount of dividends that it can pay. As a state member bank, EVB is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the reserve and capital requirements of federal and Virginia banking statutes and regulations. The Federal Reserve and the state of Virginia have the general authority to limit the dividends paid by insured banks if the payment is deemed an unsafe and unsound practice. Both the state of Virginia and the Federal Reserve have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a bank’s capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsound and unsafe banking practice. Under Virginia law, a bank may not declare a dividend in excess of its undivided profits.

Under the Federal Reserve’s regulations, EVB may not declare or pay any dividend if the total amount of all dividends, including the proposed dividend, is in excess of its net income for the current year plus any retained net income from the prior two calendar years, unless the dividend is approved by the Federal Reserve. In addition, EVB may not declare or pay a dividend without the approval of its board and two-thirds of its shareholders if the dividend would exceed its undivided profits, as reported to the Federal Reserve.

In addition, we are subject to certain regulatory requirements to maintain capital at or above regulatory minimums. These regulatory requirements regarding capital affect our dividend policies. The Federal Reserve has indicated that a bank holding company should generally pay dividends only if its 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

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

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when their occurrence is probable and estimable and (ii) SFAS No.114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of the collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.

We evaluate non-performing loans individually for impairment, such as nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more, restructured loans and other loans selected by management as required by SFAS No. 114. 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 the impairment. If a loan evaluated individually is not impaired, then the loan is assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 5.

For loans without individual measures of impairment, we make 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 general collateral type. A loss rate reflecting the expected loss inherent in a group of loans is derived based upon

 

26


Table of Contents

historical loss rates for each loan type, the predominant collateral type for the group and the terms of the loan. The resulting estimates of losses for groups of loans are adjusted for relevant environmental factors and other conditions of the portfolio of loans including: borrower or industry concentrations; levels and trends in delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries; changes in risk selection; level of experience, ability and depth of lending staff; and national and local economic conditions.

The amounts of estimated losses for loans individually evaluated for impairment and groups of loans are added together for a total estimate of loan losses. The estimate of losses is compared to our allowance for loan losses as of the evaluation date and, if the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be considered. If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the estimate is evaluated to determine whether a reduction to the allowance would be necessary. While management uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the valuations. Such adjustments would be made in the relevant period and may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Goodwill

Goodwill is evaluated annually to see if there is any impairment associated with its value. Refer to Footnote 1, item goodwill on page 65.

Executive Overview

The year 2008 was not a normal year in the banking industry. It showed the falling domino impact of loan instruments that are used to collateralize investment instruments and then sold to various institutions. Although we did not deal in subprime loans as a matter of direct business, we still were impacted. The year began with the financial industry, not just banks, continuing to deal with the subprime loan fallout. The Federal Reserve continued to lower rates through out the year which put a squeeze on interest margins, the largest contributor to our net income, as variable rate loans and investments re-priced quickly while fixed rate deposits and borrowings re-priced over a longer period of time. Finally in late summer the impact of the decreased value of asset backed securities, the high rate of defaulted mortgages and a liquidity crunch blended to cause massive write downs of securities, the takeover by the U. S. Government of its mortgage agencies FNMA and FHLMC and the buy out or failure of many institutions. This brought in the U. S. Treasury to assist the Federal Reserve and other government supervisory agencies in stabilizing the economy. As we enter 2009, we are operating under a quasi government controlled financial industry that is working hard to right itself.

Eastern Virginia Bankshares was not immune to these impacts. We had to take an impairment charge to write down some securities, primarily preferred stock of FNMA and FHLMC. When the Treasury Secretary acted to place the FNMA and FHLMC Government Sponsored Entities (“GSE’s”) into conservatorship, banks holding the securities were negatively impacted. Only a few months prior to the Treasury action, banking regulators had encouraged banks to incorporate these securities in the mix of their portfolio holdings to assist in meeting capital needs of these GSE’s. The result was that all financial institutions that held investments in the GSE’s were forced to take impairment charges that negatively impacted earnings. In addition, we have an increased volume of loans in nonaccrual status and subject to foreclosure risks. However, we have maintained a conservative strategy; risks within our markets are diversified; we are still earning net income and most important we are well capitalized with enough liquidity to meet most turns in the economic markets.

Our balance sheet, the primary driver of income, grew in 2008. Total assets are up $124.7 million from $926.7 at the end of 2007 to $1.05 billion at the end of 2008. Gross loans, our primary earning asset, are up $110.4 million and deposits are up $141.6 million while fed funds purchased are down at year end by $13.5 million. FHLB borrowing increased $7.6 million from a transaction early in the first quarter of 2008. As a result of this growth, if we were in a normal economic market, we start 2009 with the potential to produce a good earnings flow. With the

Table of Contents

economic turmoil, the potential might not come to fruition. Our 2008 growth was not just from branch purchases. While our branch purchases provided $49 and $93 million in loans and deposits, respectively, we still had significant growth from our existing markets. Loans increased an additional $61.4 million. The additional $48.6 million in deposits includes the addition of some low rate of brokered deposits. However, the deposit mix started changing with increases in interest checking and money market accounts. In addition, there was little run off from the acquired branches. The limitations on the earnings potential will be similar to those we faced in 2008. We begin the year with an economy still sliding and a hope that it will bottom out sooner than later. We anticipate weakened loan payment flows due to continued unemployment increases, creating a nervous public that is still looking for stability in the markets.

Net income for the year ended December 2008 was $3.1 million or a 64.9% decrease from $8.8 million for the year ended December 2007. This was the result of a number of factors. Our income on earning assets increased as loans and securities income were up while fed funds and dividend income were down. Dividends were impacted by lower payments from the FHLB of Atlanta, including the fourth quarter dividend being deferred to 2009. The infusion of deposits from our purchase of two Millennium bank branches helped fuel our funding needs for much of the second and third quarters, but our loan growth put us in a borrowing position by the end of the year. Rate changes through out the year were the primary cause of the declining interest income. The yield on earning assets dropped 63 basis points for the year while the yield on interest bearing liabilities was down only 32 basis points. This 31 point gap represents the rate change delay banks have in a declining rate environment.

While the rate gap is the major factor in 2008’s interest income weakening it is not the only factor in earnings decline. The provision for loan losses increased from $1.2 million in 2007 to $4.0 in 2008, taking an additional $2.8 million out of earnings for 2008. In addition, the competition for deposits has become extremely aggressive. This is pointed out in the trend of our net interest margin. In 2003, our net interest margin was 4.45% while in 2008 it was 3.57%. The rate has declined every year except 2006 when it was up 10 basis points. Management, in an effort to minimize this trend, looks at funding alternatives outside the traditional deposit sources and makes purchases of borrowed funds or brokered deposits when the spreads are significantly better than the normal deposit market.

Noninterest income was $3.0 million for 2008, a decrease of $3.1 million compared to $6.1 million in 2007. The decline was influenced by a number of unusual items that skew the year to year comparison. Our core noninterest income for 2008 was $6.5 million, an increase of 7.1%, compared to 2007. The unusual items that impacted 2008 noninterest income creating a net loss of $3.6 million were a $4.9 million other than temporary impairment, partially offset by a $1.3 million pension curtailment gain. The securities loss resulted primarily from the impairment charge taken on the FNMA and FHLMC preferred stock when the Federal Government took control of the agencies and eliminated the dividend. The economy is still in turmoil, but with the infusion of government money into the economy, we anticipate that it will eventually reverse these negative trends. This should occur as the funds move out to businesses that can then hire employees and start producing goods again and as the consumers move back into the work force and begin to feel more comfortable with spending. Our current view of the economy does not permit us to provide an estimate of when the turn-around is likely to occur.

Noninterest expense rose for the year due to infrastructure changes in the telecommunications system, higher FDIC insurance premiums due to a revised pricing structure but primarily from the acquisition of two new branches in the middle of March 2008. The purchase, as mentioned, helped fund our loan growth during the year, but did add noninterest expense. Our analysis of the performance of the acquired branches indicated that the acquisition was accretive to 2008. With strong expense controls and a freeze on merit increases in 2009, we expect noninterest expense increases in 2009 to only be related to non-controllable items such as FDIC insurance, postage, telecommunications and legal expenses related to loan defaults.

Management’s announced strategy of growing net income annually by 10% is primarily dependent on growth of our existing markets and positioning the Company to grow in new markets. This strategy is emphasized by the progression over the last six years but in an economy that we are facing now, an economy never seen by most bankers in their careers, that goal takes a secondary position to our focus to help and work with our customers and our communities. Until the economy reverses direction, growth will probably be limited. However, while we do not plan any new branch openings in 2009, we are open to opportunities that may present themselves. If these opportunities arise, we will evaluate them and will act to enhance shareholder value. In light of the current economic conditions, our primary goal in 2009 is to maintain the stability of our company and assist our customers and communities.

Net Interest Income

The primary source of income for our company is net interest income which represents our gross profit margin and is defined as the difference between interest income and interest expense. For comparative purposes, income from tax-exempt securities is adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 35%. Tax-exempt securities income is further adjusted by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (“TEFRA”) adjustment for the disallowance as a deduction of a portion of total interest expense related to the ratio of average tax-exempt securities to average total assets. By making these adjustments, tax-exempt income and their yields are presented on a comparable basis with income and yields from fully taxable earning assets. Net interest margin is a ratio based on the formula of net interest income divided by average earning assets that represents the profits left over after paying for deposits and borrowed funds. Changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as their respective yields and rates, have a significant impact on the level of net interest income. Below, the “Average Balances, Income and Expense, Yields and Rates” table presents average balances, interest income on earning assets and related average yields, as well as interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and related average rates paid, for each of the past three years.

Tax-equivalent net interest income decreased 1.6% to $33.3 million in 2008 from $33.9 million in 2007. Average earning assets grew 12.1%, or $101.0 million, while interest-bearing liabilities grew 17.6%, or $120.6 million. Despite growth on both sides of the balance sheet, the 2008 yield on earning assets was 6.44% a decline of 63 basis points compared to a cost of 3.33% on interest bearing liabilities which was down 32 basis points. In spite of the growth, the earnings on the loan portfolio were unable to hold pace with the rapid interest decreases throughout 2008 and the spread declined 31 basis points. This displays the re-pricing gap that existed most of the year as the Federal Reserve’s rapid price cuts to fight economic problems created a disparity by re-pricing variable rate loans right away while not impacting fixed rate liabilities until their maturity. All categories of earning assets grew except Federal Funds sold. Average securities were up $16.5 million with a $10.4 million increase in taxable securities and a $6.2 million increase in tax exempt securities. Taxable securities income went up contributing $750 thousand more to interest income, while tax exempt income was up $350 thousand. This increase of $1.1 million more than offset the decline of $554 thousand in federal funds sold earnings. The yield on the largest earning asset category, loans, was down 79 basis points at 6.64% compared to 7.43% in 2007.

Total average deposits grew $93.6 million, or 14.2%, with increases in all categories except demand deposits and savings which continued their decline as consumers continued to move to interest-bearing checking and money market savings. For 2008, interest-bearing checking was again our fastest grower with a $39.1 million increase and a 25 basis point increase in interest cost at 2.02% for 2008. This category is comprised mostly of our Reward checking product with its above market interest rate and demonstrates customers’ interest in better returns on their deposit funds. Interest-bearing checking is 22% of our total average interest-bearing deposits. Consumer certificates comprising 36.9% of our average interest-bearing deposit base grew $29.2 million. Balance changes were influenced by a higher level of brokered deposits. The cost of both certificate categories decreased: from 4.80% to 4.46% for large CD’s and from 4.47% to 3.76% for consumer certificates. Despite the lower rates, the dollar amount of interest on large CD’s went up $577 thousand while consumer CD’s went down $416 thousand. While rates went down, large CD’s grew $22.4 million dollars from $120.7 million in 2007 to $143.1 million in 2008. This rate decline is the result of market rate decreases. Average noninterest bearing demand deposits decreased $1.4 million compared to 2007.

In 2007, average earning asset growth of 11.0% resulted from an increase in average loans outstanding of 10.9%; average federal funds sold increased 106.6% and average securities increased 7.0%. Growth in average earning assets of $82.5 million was primarily funded by average deposit growth of $28.2 million and an increase in average borrowings of $28.3 million. In 2007, net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased 5.2% to $33.9 million from $32.2 million in 2006. Average earning asset growth of 11.0% produced $7.2 million of increased interest income, while interest-bearing liabilities grew 9.0% producing a $5.5 million increase in interest expense. While the interest income increased, the total funding cost grew faster, resulting in a net interest margin of 4.07%, down from 4.29% in 2006.

The “Volume and Rate Analysis” table that follows reflects changes in interest income and interest expense resulting from changes in average volume and average rates.

Interest Sensitivity

Our primary goals in interest rate risk management are to minimize negative fluctuations in net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets and to increase the dollar amount of net interest income at a growth rate consistent with the growth rate of total assets. These goals are accomplished by managing the interest sensitivity gap, which is the difference between interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities in a specific time interval. Interest sensitivity gap is managed by balancing the volume of floating rate liabilities with a similar volume of floating rate assets, by keeping the fixed rate average maturity of asset and liability contracts reasonably consistent and short, and by routinely adjusting pricing to market conditions on a regular basis.

We generally strive to maintain a position flexible enough to move to equality between rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities, which may be desirable when there are wide and frequent fluctuations in interest rates. Matching the amount of assets and liabilities maturing in the same time interval helps to hedge interest rate risk and to minimize the impact on net interest income in periods of rising or falling interest rates. Interest rate gaps are managed through investments, loan pricing and deposit pricing. When an unacceptable positive gap within a one-year time frame occurs maturities can be extended by selling shorter-term investments and purchasing longer maturities. When an unacceptable negative gap occurs, variable rate loans can be increased and more investment in shorter-term investments can be made.

Managing the interest rate gap in an environment where rates have fallen so quickly presents management with different challenges. Depositors are uncertain about where to put their money, especially with the probability of a continuation of the current economic recession. We anticipate more funds coming to us as customers look for safer

investments but that will take time. Currently, we have almost a third of our loan portfolio repricing almost instantly with each rate cut. However, our deposits, especially certificates, do not reprice until they mature which results in a short term narrowing of earnings. We saw clear evidence of this in late 2008 when our daily interest income decreased over $1,000 per day with each 25 basis point change. In a 90 day horizon the balance sheet is asset sensitive, but we are slightly liability sensitive in a one year time frame. This means we have a large number of deposits repricing later in the next year and will have to look for lower cost funding in the short term to support asset growth.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for 2008 was $3.0 million, a decrease of $3.1 million or 51.4% compared to 2007. This decline was primarily the result of a number of non-core financial events during the year. Without these items, recurring noninterest income for 2008 was $6.5 million compared to $6.1 million in 2007. Service charges on deposit accounts, the largest source of noninterest income, increased by $320 thousand or 8.7% from $3.7 million in 2007 to $4.0 million in 2008. Debit card and ATM fee income increased $291 thousand or 34.5% from $844 thousand in 2007 to $1.1 million in 2008. Service charge fees were strong until the fourth quarter when the economy appears to have forced consumers to look more closely at expenses, especially fees for overdrawing their accounts. Debit and ATM activity fees were driven by higher volume as consumers moved to electronic transactions rather than checks. Other operating income was impacted by decreases of $154 thousand in investment services income and $81 thousand in EVB Mortgage, Inc. income and increases of $18 thousand in bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income and $15 thousand in wire transfer fees. LLC investments and fixed asset sales increased $274 thousand primarily from a one time benefit from the exchange of our ownership in Bankers Investment for a similar interest in Infinex. Realized gains on sale of securities increased $30 thousand from $14 thousand to $44 thousand in 2008. Our non-core items included an $4.9 million impairment on securities (see securities discussion, page 40) partially offset by a $1.3 million actuarial gain from our pension plan restructuring and a $229 thousand other than temporary impairment of an OREO asset.

In 2007, noninterest income increased $945 thousand or 18.3% from 2006 to 2007, attributable to a $437 thousand increase in service charges on deposits, a $335 thousand increase in debit card and ATM fee income and an $83 thousand increase in investment services income. Other operating income increased from $1.4 million in 2006 to $1.6 million in 2007, the result of increases in mortgage business income and increases in other income categories. There were no gains or losses on sale of other real estate in 2007 or 2006 while realized gain on sale of securities decreased $22 thousand from 2006.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense for 2008 increased $2.1 million or 8.0% compared to an increase of $55 thousand or 0.2% for 2007. Noninterest expense was $27.9 million in 2008 compared to $25.9 million in 2007. Total personnel expenses increased $229 thousand, or 1.6%, from $14.5 million in 2007 to $14.8 million in 2008, highlighted by decreases in pension expense of $974 thousand and bonus expense of $563 thousand as the company paid no management bonuses for 2008. Fulltime equivalent staff count was up at year end 2008 to 317 compared to 305 at December 31, 2007, as the Company absorbed the staffing from the new branches.

Net occupancy and equipment expense increased $456 thousand or 10.6% to $4.7 million for 2008, from $4.3 million in 2007. Over half of the increase, $226 thousand was from taking on the expenses of our purchased branches. With no major projects planned in 2009, many of the expense categories should stabilize.

With the purchase of the branches in 2008 and the decline in the economy, other noninterest expenses increased, $1.4 million or 19.7% to $8.4 million compared to $7.0 million in 2007. Telephone expense was up $383 thousand due to infrastructure enhancements and the addition of new locations. FDIC expense rose $365 thousand as the impact of the increased FDIC rate structure was implemented. FDIC expense will have a greater increase in 2009. Marketing and advertising expense increased $118 thousand with much of that related to the opening of the new branches. Loan expenses were up $190 thousand, primarily from increases of $67 thousand in collection expense, $63 thousand in OREO expense on foreclosed properties and $31 thousand in home equity line (“HELOC”) closing expenses. Legal expenses were up $108 thousand; audit fees were up $29 thousand and director fees were down $50 thousand. Legal fees were from two sources an increase in assistance with loan situations and the fees associated with TARP filings. We changed our approach to marketing from the traditional mass media to more local involvement. These changes reflect the tightened economy and the increased effort to collect our outstanding payments on loans. HELOC costs increased as we focused on growth in that loan category. In addition, employee mileage reimbursement increased $72 thousand, or 48%, as a result of the higher cost of gasoline. With the economy in recession and the need to assist our communities, management plans to hold tight reins on these expenses in 2009.

For 2007, total noninterest expense increased $55 thousand or 0.2% compared to an increase of $926 thousand, or 3.7% in 2006. Noninterest expense was $25.8 million in 2007 compared to $25.9 million in 2006. Total personnel expense decreased $120 thousand, or 0.8%, from $14.7 million in 2006 to $14.5 million in 2007.

Net occupancy and equipment expense increased $376 thousand or 9.6% to $4.3 million for 2007, compared to $3.9 million in 2006. This increase was associated with the full year depreciation on our Kings Charter branch and the relocation of two branches that increased the rent.

Other noninterest expenses decreased $201 thousand or 2.8% to $7.0 million in 2007 from $7.2 million in 2006. This decrease resulted from decreases in consulting fees of $139 thousand, data processing of $180 thousand and marketing and advertising expense of $115 thousand.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense in 2008 decreased $3.0 million to $506 thousand, compared to $ 3.5 million in 2007 and $3.0 million in 2006. In 2008, increased tax exempt income and the decrease in net income were the primary reasons for the tax expense reduction. Income tax expense corresponds to an effective rate of 14.2%, 28.5% and 29.0% for the three years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note 9 in the Consolidated Financial Statements provides a reconciliation between the amount of income tax expense computed using the federal statutory income tax rate and our actual income tax expense. Also included in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements is information regarding deferred taxes for 2008 and 2007. That Note is incorporated by reference into this section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Loan Portfolio

Loans, net of unearned income, increased to $819.3 million at December 31, 2008, an increase of $110.4 million, or 15.6%, from $708.8 million at year-end 2007. The real estate loan portfolio continued to drive growth in 2008, increasing $102.0 million, or 17.2%, with the commercial, industrial and agricultural loan portfolio increasing by $8.2 million, or 13.6%, and consumer loans declining by $4.9 million, or 9.4%. Consumer loan balances continue a declining trend with 2007 being an anomaly with a slight gain. The gains in loan balances are attributable to two factors: one the purchase of two branches and the other continued steady growth in our markets, especially in our Gloucester and Richmond areas. The acquisition of branches included $48.9 million in loans, primarily real estate secured while our existing markets brought in another $65 million. Real estate construction loans grew $4.0 million, or 4.0%, while commercial real estate loans grew $43.8 million, or 24.6%. This growth continued through the fourth quarter but at a slower pace as the economic downturn accelerated. At year-end 2007, loans, net of unearned income, were $708.8 million, up $58.3 million or 9.0% from $650.5 million at year-end 2006. Loan growth for all periods reported was primarily driven by increases in the real estate portfolio. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company performed a loan scrub of all loan categories which resulted in some movement from category to category. The changes put us in position to more effectively report our loan categories based on Federal Reserve definitions.

Loans secured by real estate comprised approximately 85.0% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2008. Within this category, residential real estate mortgages made up 45.4% of the loan portfolio at year end 2008, 44.8% at December 31, 2007 and 44.3% at year-end 2006. While the percentage to total loan portfolio are similar each year, in 2008 residential real estate mortgages grew $54.3 million, or 17.1%. This was the largest growth in any single loan category for the year and was supplemented by purchases from our mortgage company and our branch acquisition. As a percentage of the portfolio, commercial real estate loans increased from 25.1% of the total loan portfolio at year-end 2007 to 27.1% at year-end 2008. Real estate construction loans grew 4.0% over 2007 balances and accounted for 12.6% of total loans outstanding at year-end 2008 compared to 13.9% at year-end 2007 and 13.2% at year-end 2006. Our losses on loans secured by real estate have historically been low, averaging $141 thousand in net charge offs per year over the last ten years. In the shaky real estate market where valuations are dropping, management takes these changed risks into consideration in assessing our loan to value exposure.

Consumer loans are again the fifth largest component of our loan portfolio in 2008 comprising 5.8% of the portfolio at year-end 2008 compared to 7.4% at year-end 2007 and 7.9% at year-end 2006. This portfolio’s primary component consists of installment loans. Net consumer loans for household, family and other personal expenditures totaled $47.2 million at 2008 year-end, a decrease of $4.9 million from $52.1 million at 2007 year-end. Much of the decrease was the result of our reclassification during the loan review. Consumer lifestyle changes have resulted in increasing emphasis on fast and easy one-step loans which has created intense competition for consumer borrowing dollars. This change, combined with the automotive industry’s various rebate programs with low rates at the dealer location, continues a trend that started in 2002 of decreasing consumer loans both in absolute amount and percentage of the total loan portfolio.

Commercial and agricultural loans are designed specifically to meet the needs of small and medium size business customers. This category of loans increased $8.2 million, or 13.6% to $69.0 million at December 31, 2008 compared to $60.8 million at December 31, 2007. However, due to the continued growth of real estate loans, it comprises only 8.4% of the total portfolio at year-end 2008 compared to 8.6% at year-end 2007 and 9.2% at year-end 2006. The growth in real estate construction and commercial, industrial and agricultural loans emphasize our clear commitment to support small to medium sized businesses.

Consistent with our focus on providing community-based financial services, we generally do not make loans outside of our principal market region. We do not engage in foreign lending activities; consequently the loan portfolio is not exposed to the sometimes volatile risk from foreign credits. We further maintain a policy not to originate or purchase loans classified by regulators as highly leveraged transactions or loans to foreign entities or individuals. Our unfunded loan commitments, excluding credit card lines and letters of credit, at year-end 2008 totaled $117.2 million, compared to $105.6 million at year-end 2007. Unfunded loan commitments (excluding $47.2 million in home equity lines) are used in large part to meet seasonal funding needs which are generally higher from spring through fall than at year-end. Historically, our loan collateral has been primarily real estate because of the nature of our market region. However, as we expand into newer markets, to us, we are encountering other collateral options which in lieu of real estate, are booked based on strong credit guidelines and controls to monitor the status of the collateral.

Our allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the amount needed to provide for inherent losses in the loan portfolio. In determining adequacy of the allowance, we consider our historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, specific impaired loans, the overall level of nonaccrual loans, the value and adequacy of collateral and guarantors, experience and depth of lending staff, effects of credit concentrations and economic conditions. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense and reduced by charge offs, net of recoveries. Because the risk of loan loss includes general economic trends as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the allowance for loan losses can only be an estimate. Our ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate owned at year-end 2008 increased to 2.04% compared to 0.40% at December 31, 2007 and up

from 0.45% at December 31, 2006. The rapid increase in this measure points out the sudden decline in the lending environment as the economy deteriorates and unemployment measures worsen. As a result, nonperforming assets rose $13.8 million, or 476% to $16.7 million at year-end 2008, compared to $2.9 million at year end 2007. Net charge offs for 2008 increased $1.5 million or 363.8% to $1.9 million, compared to $401 thousand for the year 2007.

We have a loan review committee consisting of bank officers and board members. Additionally an independent credit review firm performs a review of loans, including a SFAS No.114 review for determining specific reserves. We utilize a risk-based evaluation system based on loan type, collateral and payment history to determine the amount of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes the allowance for loan losses to be adequate based on this loan review process and analysis. In the current lending environment with the economic markets stressed and our borrowers struggling, management took aggressive action raising the provision for loan loss to just over $4.0 million and expects to continue building the reserve in 2009 as the risk assessments dictate. In 2008, at year-end, EVB had a ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding of 1.29% compared to 1.11% at year-end 2007 and to 1.08% at December 31, 2006, respectively. For the same dates, the loan loss allowance to nonaccrual loans ratio was 78%, 544% and 504%, indicating that the allowance was adequate with respect to nonaccrual loans. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is subject to regulatory examinations which may review such factors as the method used to calculate the allowance and the size of the allowance in comparison to peer companies identified by regulatory agencies.

We will continue to increase our loan loss reserve in 2009 if the portfolio risks dictate. We will work with each customer through these tough economic times wherever it is feasible. In addition, we will review all the new initiatives that the U.S. government implements that may offer relief to our borrowers.

Nonperforming Assets

Total nonperforming assets, consisting of nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more, and other real estate owned, increased $13.9 million or 484% to $16.7 million at year-end 2008, while total loans outstanding, net of unearned discount, increased $110.4 million or 15.6% to $819.3 million for the same period. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate at year-end 2008 was 2.04% compared to 0.40% at year-end 2007.

Table of Contents

Nonperforming loans at year-end 2008 were $16.2 million which included $13.6 million in nonaccrual loans with $13.0 million of the nonaccrual loans secured by real estate in our market area, $248 thousand of commercial and agricultural loans and $337 thousand of consumer loans. Based on estimated fair values of the related collateral, we consider the nonperforming real estate loans recoverable, with any individual deficiency covered by the allowance for loan losses. The total amount of non real estate secured nonaccrual loans was $585 thousand. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status at the time when the collection of principal and interest are considered to be doubtful. The accrual of interest on loans, except credit cards, consumer loans and residential mortgage loans, is automatically discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent. Credit card loans and other personal loans are typically charged off before reaching 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. No interest is accrued on loans placed in a nonaccrual status, and any unpaid interest previously accrued on such loans is reversed when a loan is placed in nonaccrual status. If interest on nonaccrual loans had been accrued, such income would have approximated $571 thousand and $72 thousand for the years 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The balance of the nonperforming assets at year-end 2008 is the other real estate (“OREO”) owned in the amount of $560 thousand compared to $1.1 million in 2007. OREO consists of two properties, one for $460 thousand and the other for $100 thousand. The $460 thousand OREO property was sold at a small gain subsequent to year end 2008.

Net charge offs in 2008 increased to $1.9 million from $401 thousand in 2007. The 2008 net charge offs included $526 thousand of consumer loans, $271 thousand of commercial loans and $1.1 million of real estate loans. These are major increases which have been brought on by the economic down turn. The year 2009 will probably be similar as the economic forecasts do not show a turn around until the end of the year or possibly in 2010. As stated earlier, reserves will continue to be increased as needed. While loans are charged off, there is some potential to recover portions in the future.

At December 31, 2008, we reported $15.0 million in impaired loans, an increase of $10.6 million from $4.4 million at December 31, 2007. Of this $15.0 million in impaired loans, $8.3 million was included in nonperforming loans. The average balance of impaired loans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 was $8.6 million. Loans are viewed as impaired based upon individual evaluations of discounted expected cash flows or collateral valuations. These loans are subject to constant management attention, and their status is reviewed on a regular basis.

Securities

Securities available for sale include those securities that may be sold in response to changes in market interest rates, changes in the security’s prepayment risk, increases in loan demand, general liquidity needs, and other similar factors, and are carried at estimated fair market value. An independent third party review of this portfolio is made annually and presented to the Board of Directors as an unbiased presentation of our risks and the condition of the portfolio.

At December 31, 2008 the securities portfolio, at fair market value, was $161.9 million, a 0.6% increase from $160.9 million at 2007 year-end which was a 26.5% increase from $127.2 million at 2006 year-end. The effect of valuing the available for sale portfolio at market, net of income taxes, is reflected as a line in the Shareholders’ Equity section of the Balance Sheet as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a loss of $11.8 million at December 31, 2007 and a loss of $2.9 million at 2007 year-end.

Deposits

We have historically focused on increasing core deposits to reduce the need for other borrowings to fund growth in earning assets. Core deposits provide a low cost and stable source of funding for our asset growth. Interest rates paid on deposits are carefully managed to provide an attractive market rate while at the same time not adversely affecting the net interest margin. Borrowing through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) is utilized for funding when the cost of borrowed funds falls below the cost of new interest-bearing deposits. We also utilize purchased deposits from a couple of sources when the rates are below our market rates. At year end 2008, our total deposit balance was $813.5 million an increase of $141.6 million from $671.9 million at year end 2007. This growth included $93 million acquired in our branch purchase, while the remainder is from market growth and an increase in brokered deposits. Our loan growth in 2008 continued at a rapid rate that drove a demand for funding which our normal markets could not handle that quickly since rates were dropping throughout the year. Management decided to increase the level of brokered deposits on a short-term basis. At year end 2008, there were $55.0 million in brokered deposits. This included about $20 million that mature in early January 2009 but were prefunded in December. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by $5.7 million or 6.0% to $90.1 million at 2008 year-end compared to $95.8 million at December 31, 2007.

A more representative review of the year long funding picture is the average deposits for the year, which reflect how much we are really funding over the year. For 2008, average total deposits of $753.7 million represented a 14.2% increase over the 2007 average of $660.1 million. Average deposits for 2008 grew in all categories except demand and savings deposits. Noninterest bearing average deposits declined $1.4 million to $96.9 million for 2008, a decline that has been going on since a high in 2005. Savings decreased $7.2 million, or 7.8%, compared to 2007 when this same category declined 17.7%. In looking at these two categories, it is important to note that the trend in our lowest cost deposit categories is down which forces the bank to pay more for deposits. Money market accounts grew 28.2% to $52.3 million while the rate was down 1 basis point. In 2008, large dollar and regular certificates of deposit increased $22.4 million, or 18.5%, and $29.2 million, or 13.7%, respectively, continuing a trend seen since 2006. Interest bearing checking accounts (NOW) increased $39.1 million, or 37.0%, in 2008 compared to an increase of $24.5 million in 2007. This increase is attributed to our Reward Checking product, whose balances have continually grown since its introduction in late 2006. This product pays an above market interest rate if customers achieve some basic requirements that encourage the customer to utilize electronic transactions which are less costly to the bank.

NOW accounts, at an average balance of $144.6 million are our second largest deposit category after consumer certificates of deposit and total $242.2 million. The actual annual yield on NOW account has risen from 1.77% in 2007 to 2.02% in 2008. While this is a high rate for what used to be considered “cheap” money, it is well below 4.46% and 3.76% for large and consumer certificates, respectively. Attracting deposits to our bank has been a

challenge over the last three years. The high interest rate environment in the market three years ago, then the rapid decline in rates in 2008, coupled with the plummeting economy have made customers and potential customers fearful of what will happen to their money. Management’s challenge in 2009 is to manage the net interest margin in a recessionary economy by anticipating, reacting to and adjusting to each new change in the markets.

Total deposits at 2007 year-end of $671.9 million were an increase of $17.9 million, or 2.7%, compared to $654.0 million at 2006 year-end. The deposit growth in 2007 was the result of increases in certificates of deposit and NOW deposits. All other deposit categories declined in 2007. Average deposits for 2007 were $660.1 million, an increase of 4.3%, or $27.2 million, compared to 2006 average deposits of $632.9 million.

Capital Resources

Capital resources are managed to maintain a capital structure that provides us the ability to support asset growth, absorb potential losses and expand our franchise when appropriate. Capital represents original investment by shareholders plus retained earnings and provides financial resources over which we can exercise greater control as compared to deposits and borrowed funds.

Regulatory authorities have adopted guidelines to establish minimum capital standards. Specifically, the guidelines classify assets and balance sheet items into four risk-weighted categories. The minimum regulatory total capital to risk-weighted assets is 8.0%, of which at least 4.0% must be Tier 1 capital, defined as common equity and retained earnings, plus trust preferred debt up to 25% of Tier 1 capital, less goodwill and intangibles. At December 31, 2008, we had a total risk based capital ratio of 11.56% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.62%, both in excess of regulatory guidelines and the amount needed to support our banking business.

Capital is carefully managed as the financial opportunities of a high capital base are weighed against the impact of the return on equity ratio. In January 2001, we announced a stock repurchase program intended to reduce high capital levels and to increase return on equity to shareholders. This plan was amended in 2003 and the number of shares that can be repurchased is 5% of the outstanding shares on January 1 of each year. We repurchased 70,545 shares in 2008, 179,350 shares in 2007 and no shares in 2006. Details of the number of shares available and purchases by month can be seen in our 10-Q filings with the SEC. Theere were no shares repurchased in the third and fourth quarters of 2008.

In December 2006, we completed an offering of our common stock. We sold 1.15 million shares and received over $23.5 million (net proceeds) in new capital. These funds gave us flexibility in 2007 which allowed us to fund assets purchases early in 2007 with out borrowing and gave us flexibility in a tight deposit milieu.

Subsequent to year end, the January 9, 2009 issuance of preferred stock to the U. S. Treasury added $24 million to capital. The preferred stock will pay cumulative dividends at a fixed rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and thereafter, at a rate of 9% per annum. There are no material commitments at this time but management estimates that all our capital ratios will increase by about 3.0%.

The following table provides an analysis of our capital as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. Note 19 in the Consolidated Financial Statements presents an analysis of the capital position of both our Company and EVB as of year-end 2008, 2007 and 2006:

Off -Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2008, we had $131.7 million of off-balance sheet credit exposure in the form of $125.4 million of commitments to grant loans and unfunded commitments under lines of credit and $6.3 million of standby letters of credit. 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 us, is based on our 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 usually uncollateralized and do not always contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which we are committed.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending a loan to our customers. We generally hold collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, deposits with other banks, federal funds sold, investments and loans maturing or repricing within one year. Our management of liquid assets provides a liquidity level that we believe is sufficient to satisfy our depositors’ requirements and to meet our customers’ credit needs. At December 31, 2008, $366.4 million or 37.6% of total earning assets were due to mature or reprice within the next year.

We also maintain additional sources of liquidity through a variety of borrowing arrangements. Federal funds borrowing arrangements with major regional banks combined with immediately available lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $26.6 million at December 31, 2008. At year-end 2008, we had $134.6 million of FHLB borrowings outstanding. During 2008, we executed new borrowings of $9.0 million and had paydowns of $1.5 million in FHLB borrowings.

Inflation

In financial institutions, unlike most manufacturing companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a bank’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rate movement is not necessarily tied to movements in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates and equity prices. Our market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk. We are responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position of EVB and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk. The Board of Directors reviews guidelines established by Management. It is our policy not to engage in activities considered to be derivative in nature such as futures, option contracts, swaps, caps, floors, collars or forward commitments. We consider derivatives as speculative which is contrary to our historical or prospective philosophy. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. We do hold in our loan and securities portfolios investments that adjust or float according to changes in index rates which is not considered speculative, but necessary for good asset/liability management.

Asset/Liability Risk Management: The primary goals of asset/liability risk management are to maximize net interest income and the net value of our future cash flows within the interest rate limits set by our Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO).

Interest Rate Risk Measurement: Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of three complementary measures: static gap analysis, earnings simulation modeling and net present value estimation. While each of the interest rate risk measurements has limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably comprehensive view of the magnitude of our interest rate risk, the distribution of risk along the yield curve, the level of risk through time, and the amount of exposure to changes in certain interest rate relationships.

Static Gap: Gap analysis measures the amount of repricing risk embedded in the balance sheet at a point in time. It does so by comparing the differences in the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. A gap is defined as the difference between the principal amount of assets and liabilities, adjusted for off-balance sheet instruments, which reprice within a specific time period. The cumulative one-year gap at year-end was a negative 10.91% which is within the policy limit for the one-year gap of plus 15% to minus 15% of total earning assets at a combined Company level.

Core deposits and loans with noncontractual maturities are included in the gap repricing distributions based upon historical patterns determined by statistical analysis, based upon industry accepted assumptions including the most recent core deposit defaults set forth by the FFIEC (Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council). The gap repricing distributions include principal cash flows from residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities in the time frames in which they are expected to be received. Mortgage prepayments are estimated by applying industry median projections of prepayment speeds to portfolio segments based on coupon range and loan age.

Earnings Simulation: The earnings simulation model forecasts one-year net income under a variety of scenarios that incorporate changes in the absolute level of interest rates, changes in the shape of the yield curve and changes in interest rate relationships. Management evaluates the effects on income of alternative interest rate scenarios against earnings in a stable interest rate environment. This type of analysis is also most useful in determining the short-run earnings exposures to changes in customer behavior involving loan payments and deposit additions and withdrawals.

Table of Contents

The most recent earnings simulation model projects net income would decrease approximately 12.06% of stable rate or base net income if rates were to fall immediately by 200 basis points. It projects a decrease of approximately 1.57% if rates rise by 200 basis points. Management believes this reflects an asset sensitive interest risk for the one-year horizon although an alternative calculation indicates an asset sensitive position in a 90 day horizon and a slightly liability sensitive position in a one year horizon.

This dynamic simulation model includes assumptions about how the balance sheet is likely to evolve through time, in different interest rate environments. Loan and deposit growth rate assumptions are derived from historical analysis and management’s outlook, as are the assumptions used to project yields and rates for new loans and deposits. All maturities, calls and prepayments in the securities portfolio are assumed to be reinvested in like instruments. Mortgage loan prepayment assumptions are developed from industry median estimates of prepayment speeds for portfolios with similar coupon ranges and seasoning. Noncontractual deposit growth rates and pricing are assumed to follow historical patterns. The sensitivities of key assumptions are analyzed at least annually and reviewed by management.

Net Present Value: The Net Present Value (“NPV”) of the balance sheet, at a point in time, is defined as the discounted present value of asset cash flows minus the discounted value of liability cash flows. Interest rate risk analysis using NPV involves changing the interest rates used in determining the cash flows and in discounting the cash flows. The resulting percentage change in NPV is an indication of the longer term repricing risk and options embedded in the balance sheet.

At year-end, a 200 basis point immediate increase in rates is estimated to decrease NPV by 15.68%. Additionally, NPV is estimated to decrease by 11.49% if rates fall immediately by 200 basis points. Analysis of the average quarterly change in the Treasury yield curve over the past ten years indicates that a parallel curve shift of 200 basis points or more is an event that has less than a 0.1% chance of occurrence.

As with gap analysis and earnings simulation modeling, assumptions about the timing and variability of balance sheet cash flows are critical in NPV analysis. Particularly important are the assumptions driving mortgage prepayments and the assumptions about expected attrition of the core deposit portfolios. These assumptions are applied consistently across the different rate risk measures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As of December 31, 2008, management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on the assessment, management determined that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on those criteria.

Yount, Hyde and Barbour, P.C., the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our consolidated financial statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. The report, which states an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, is incorporated by reference in Item 8 above, under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc.

Tappahannock, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc.

Tappahannock, Virginia

We have audited Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A corporation’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A corporation’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the corporation; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the corporation are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the corporation; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the corporation’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries and our report dated March 3, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”, “our Company”, “we” “us” or “our”) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry. The following is a description of the more significant of those policies:

Business

Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Tappahannock, Virginia that was organized and chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on September 5, 1997 and commenced operations on December 29, 1997. We conduct our primary operations through our wholly-owned bank subsidiary, EVB. Two of our predecessor banks, Bank of Northumberland, Inc. and Southside Bank, were established in 1910. Seeking to accelerate our growth in a higher growth adjacent market, we started a de novo bank, Hanover Bank, in 2000. The three predecessor banks were merged and the surviving bank re-branded as EVB in April 2006.

Our primary activity is retail banking. Through our bank subsidiary, we provide full service banking including commercial and consumer demand and time deposit accounts, real estate, commercial and consumer loans, Visa revolving credit accounts, drive-in banking services, automated teller machine transactions, internet banking and wire transfer services. With 25 branches at 2008 year end, our bank serves diverse markets that primarily are in the counties of Caroline, Essex, Gloucester, Hanover, Henrico, King and Queen, King William, Lancaster, Middlesex, New Kent, Richmond, Northumberland, Southampton, Surry, Sussex and the City of Colonial Heights. Ancillary services provided by our bank include travelers’ checks, safe deposit box rentals, collections and other customary bank services to its customers. The majority of our revenue comes from retail banking in the form of interest earned on loans and investment securities and fees related to deposit services. The Company also owns EVB Statutory Trust I, a limited purpose entity that was created in 2003 for the purpose of issuing our trust preferred debt.

Our bank owns EVB Financial Services, Inc., which in turn has 100% ownership of EVB Investments, Inc. and a 50% ownership interest in EVB Mortgage, Inc. EVB Investments, Inc. has a 770 share interest in Infinex, which it uses as a brokerage firm for the investment services it provides. The bank also has a 75% ownership interest in EVB Title, LLC and a 2.33% interest in Virginia Bankers Insurance Center, LLC. EVB Title, LLC sells title insurance, while Virginia Bankers Insurance Center, LLC acts as a broker for insurance sales for its member banks. EVB Mortgage, Inc. was chartered in the first quarter of 2004 and began conducting business in the third quarter of 2004. The financial position and operating results of all of these subsidiaries are not significant to us as a whole and are not considered principal activities of our Company at this time.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. and all subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. FASB interpretation No. 46 (R) requires that we no longer eliminate through consolidation the $310 thousand that represents the equity investment in EVB Statutory Trust I. The subordinated debt of the trust is reflected as a liability of our Company.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and deferred taxes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Securities

Securities, 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. We do not have any securities classified as “held to maturity” or “trading.”

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 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, we consider (1) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) our intent and ability to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Loans

We grant mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans in our market area. The ability of our debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in our market area. Loans that we have 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 for loans with a maturity greater than one year at origination.

The accrual of interest on loans, except credit cards, consumer loans and residential mortgage loans, is automatically discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent. Credit card loans and other personal loans are typically charged off before reaching 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 on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. 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 provision for loan losses charged to operations is an amount sufficient to bring the allowance for loan losses to an estimated balance considered adequate to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the allowance. Our determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the portfolio, current economic conditions, historical loss experience, the value and adequacy of collateral, and other risk factors. Recovery of the carrying value of loans is dependent to some extent on future economic, operating and other conditions that may be beyond our control. Unanticipated future adverse changes in such conditions could result in material adjustments to the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component generally relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful or substandard. 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 considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. We determine the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, we do not separately identify the individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

Other Real Estate

Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure is held for sale and is initially recorded at the lower of the loan balance or fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations less cost to sell are periodically performed by our management, and the assets are carried at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation are included in other operating expenses.

Bank Premises and Equipment

Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Land is carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line or declining-balance method for financial reporting purposes and are charged to expense over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to thirty years. Depreciation for tax purposes is computed based upon accelerated methods. The costs of major renewals or improvements are capitalized while the costs of ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

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 basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statements of income.

Stock Compensation Plan

At December 31, 2008, we had two stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 12. We account for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of FASB Statement No. 123R “Share–Based Payment.” Stock-based compensation costs included in salaries and benefits expense totaled $277 thousand for the year 2008, $250 thousand for the year 2007 and $210 thousand for the year 2006.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards, and are determined using the treasury method. Earnings per share calculations are presented in Note 11.

Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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, and pension liability adjustments are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

Pension Plan

We have a defined benefit pension plan covering employees meeting certain age and service requirements. We compute the net periodic pension cost of the plan in accordance with FASB No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pensions and Other Post Retirement Plans.” See Note 10.

Advertising

We practice the policy of charging advertising costs to expense as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $559 thousand, $459 thousand, and $621 thousand for the three years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Intangible Assets

Core deposit intangibles are included in other assets and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit, which is 28.5 months to seven years. Core deposit intangibles, net of amortization amounted to $503 thousand and $770 thousand at December 31, 2008 and 2007 respectively. Core deposit intangibles are included in other assets on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Goodwill

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations prior to January 1, 2009. Additionally, it further clarifies the criteria for the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets separate from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 also prescribes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 discontinue the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Instead these assets are subject to at least an annual impairment review, and more frequently if certain impairment indicators are in evidence.

Goodwill amounted to $16.0 million and $5.7 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. Based on the testing, there were no impairment charges in 2008, 2007 or 2006.

Reclassifications

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) reached a consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” (“EITF Issue 06-4”). In March 2007, the FASB reached a consensus on EITF Issue 06-10, “Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” (“EITF Issue 06-10”). Both of these standards require a company to recognize an obligation over an employee’s service period based upon the substantive agreement with the employee such as the promise to maintain a life insurance policy or provide a death benefit postretirement. The Company adopted the provisions of these standards effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of these standards was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather, provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. The FASB has approved a one-year deferral for the implementation of the Statement for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The Company adopted SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159). This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument and is irrevocable. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, with early adoption available in certain circumstances. The Company adopted SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2008. The Company decided not to report any existing financial assets or liabilities at fair value that are not already reported, thus the adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). The Statement will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles for how an acquirer recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for acquisition dates on or after the beginning of an entity’s first year that begins after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 141(R) to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, at this time.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160). The Statement will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of noncontrolling (or minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 160 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, at this time.

In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, “Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings” (SAB 109). SAB 109 expresses the current view of the staff that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SEC registrants are expected to apply the views in Question 1 of SAB 109 on a prospective basis to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. Implementation of SAB 109 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, “Use of a Simplified Method in Developing Expected Term of Share Options” (SAB 110). SAB 110 expresses the current view of the staff that it will accept a company’s election to use the simplified method discussed in SAB 107 for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates. The staff noted that it understands that detailed information about employee exercise patterns may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. Implementation of SAB 110 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of SFAS No. 133,” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires that an entity provide enhanced disclosures related to derivative and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP No. 142-3”). FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”). The intent of FSP No. 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the assets under SFAS No. 141(R). FSP No. 142-3 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009, and applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. The adoption of FSP No. 142-3 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” Management does not expect the adoption of the provision of SFAS No. 162 to have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161,” (“FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4”). FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 require a seller of credit derivatives to disclose information about its credit derivatives and hybrid instruments that have embedded credit derivatives to enable users of financial statements to assess their potential effect on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The disclosures required by FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 were effective for the Company on December 31, 2008 did not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active,” (“FSP 157-3”). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in determining the fair value of a financial asset during periods of inactive markets. FSP 157-3 was effective as of September 30, 2008 and did not have material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities.” FSP No. FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 requires enhanced disclosures about transfers of financial assets and interests in variable interest entities. The FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2008. Since the FSP requires only additional disclosures concerning transfers of financial assets and interest in variable interest entities, adoption of the FSP will not affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2009, the FASB reached a consensus on EITF Issue 99-20-1. This FSP amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and other related guidance. The FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008 and shall be applied prospectively. The FSP was effective as of December 31, 2008 and did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Cash and Due From Banks

To comply with Federal Reserve Regulations, our subsidiary bank is required to maintain certain average reserve balances. For the final weekly reporting period in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the daily average required balances were approximately $75 thousand for both periods.

We recognized other than temporary impairment charges as reflected on our income statement during 2008 of $4.6 million on our investments in the preferred stock of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Co (“FHLMC”) and Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”). These mortgage agencies were taken over by the government resulting in severe stress in the financial industry, creating decreased capital adequacy in many financial institutions and were a significant cause of the need for a government bailout. Revocation of dividends resulted in the value of these securities falling more than 95% and requiring the other than temporary impairment.

Bonds with unrealized loss positions of less than 12 months duration at 2008 year-end included 8 federal agency mortgage backed issues, 2 corporate bonds, 33 municipal bonds, 1 corporate trust-preferred issue and 3 collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”). Securities with losses of one year or greater duration included 1 federal agency, 4 federal agency mortgage-backed securities, 9 corporate bonds, 6 corporate trust preferred securities, and 1 CMO. The unrealized loss positions

at December 31, 2008 were primarily related to widened market spreads or lack of an orderly market for corporate securities. Holdings of GMAC contained unrealized loss positions totaling $1.4 million. These securities have been downgraded by Moodys and Standard & Poors rating agencies to levels below investment grade. As of year-end, the Company held $3.0 million in GMAC bonds. Early in the year, we recognized an other than temporary impairment charge of $300 thousand on one of our GMAC holdings. These holdings are monitored regularly by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and reported to the EVB Board on a monthly basis. Given the attractive yield and the belief that the risk of default is remote, we have not recommended sale of the holdings. GMAC has recently received approval to switch to a bank charter and has been approved to participate in the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program.

The 7 trust-preferred issues with losses include 6 pooled trust securities secured by debt of banks and insurance companies, primarily banks, and 1 similar issue consisting solely of bank borrowings. One of these pooled trust preferred issues is the senior A tranche rated AAA while the other 6 issues are the D “mezzanine” tranche rated BBB by Fitch at time of issue. None of the pooled trust securities have been downgraded by the rating agency. Additional information concerning the trust preferred holdings is presented in the Securities section of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Note 10. Employee Benefit Plans

Pension Plan

We have historically had a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of our employees. Benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation during the last five years of employment. Our funding policy has been to contribute annually the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributable to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. The Plan was amended January 28, 2008 to freeze the Plan with no additional contributions for a majority of Participants. Employees age 55 or greater or with 10 years of credited service were grandfathered in the defined benefit plan which continues without revision for those participants.

Long Term Rate of Return

In consultation with their investment advisors and actuary, our plan sponsor selects the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption. This rate is intended to reflect the average rate of earnings expected to be earned on the funds 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 significance placed on current forecasts of future long-term economic conditions. The discount rate used to calculate funding requirements and benefit expense was increased from 6.00% in 2007 to 6.25% in 2008.

Because assets are held in a qualified trust, anticipated returns are not reduced for taxes. Solely for this purpose, the plan is assumed to continue in force and not terminate during the period during which the 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 with periodic cost). Our estimate of contributions to the plan for 2009 is $941 thousand.

The pension plan’s weighted average asset allocations at December 31, 2008 and 2007, by asset category are as follows:

The trust fund is sufficiently diversified to maintain a reasonable level of risk without imprudently sacrificing return, with a targeted asset allocation of 25% fixed income and 75% equities. The Investment Manager selects 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 our 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. There is no Company common stock included in the Plan assets.

We have a 401(k) defined contribution plan applicable to all eligible employees. Contributions to the Plan are made in accordance with proposals set forth and approved by the Board of Directors. Employees may elect to contribute to the Plan an amount not to exceed 20% of their salary. In 2008, the Company had elected to contribute amounts not to exceed 50% of the first 6% of the employee’s contribution for employees grandfathered in the defined benefit pension plan. For those employees whose pension benefits were frozen as of January 1, 2008, our contribution is 75% of the first 6% of the employee’s contribution plus an additional contribution at year-end equal to 3% of the employee’s salary. Contributions to this Plan by the Company of $642 thousand, $253 thousand and $222 thousand were included in expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. We estimate that our contribution to the Plan in 2009 will increase to approximately $650 thousand. There is no Company common stock included in the 401 (k) Plan assets.

Note 11. Earnings Per Share

The following shows the weighted average number of shares used in computing the earnings per share and the effect on weighted average number of shares of diluted potential common stock. Potential diluted common stock had no effect on income available to common shareholders. There were 304,112 shares excluded from the 2008 calculations, 237,137 shares from the 2007 calculations and 188,987 shares from the 2006 calculations because their effects were anti-dilutive.

Note 12. Stock Compensation Plan

On September 21, 2000, we adopted the Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan to provide a means for selected key employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries to increase their personal financial interest in our Company, thereby stimulating their efforts and strengthening their desire to remain with us. Under the Plan, options to purchase up to 400,000 shares of Company common stock may be granted. No options may be granted under the Plan after September 21, 2010. On April 17, 2003, the shareholders approved the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, amending and restating the 2000 Plan while still authorizing the issuance of up to 400,000 shares of common stock. There are 35,443 shares still available under that Plan. On April 19, 2007, the shareholders approved the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan under which options or restricted stock for up to 400,000 shares of common stock may be granted. There are 400,000 shares still available under that Plan.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant. We had already adopted SFAS No. 123 in 2002 and began recognizing compensation expense for stock option grants in that year.

SFAS 123R also requires that new awards to employees eligible for retirement prior to the award becoming fully vested be recognized as compensation cost over the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service to earn the award. Our stock options granted to eligible participants prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R that had an accelerated vesting feature associated with employee retirement are being recognized, as required, as compensation cost over the vesting period except in the instance of the participant’s actual retirement.

For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, stock option compensation expense of $248 thousand, $250 thousand and $210 thousand were included in salary and benefit expense and are identified as part of stock compensation expense in both the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity. No tax benefits were recognized in 2008, 2007 and 2006 on the qualified stock options.

Stock option compensation expense is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each stock grant award. The weighted average estimated fair value of stock options granted in the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $3.62, $5.95 and $5.40, respectively. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions indicated below:

 

     2008     2007     2006  

Dividend rate:

   2.82   2.82   2.97

Price Volatility:

   33.25   32.89   22.94

Risk-free interest rate:

   3.56   4.56   4.65

Expected life:

   7 Years      7 Years      10 Years   

The dividend rate is calculated as the average quarterly dividend yield on our stock for the past seven years by dividing the quarterly dividend by the average daily closing price of the stock for the period. Volatility is a measure of the standard deviation of the daily closing stock price plus dividend yield for the same period. The risk-free interest rate is the 7 year Treasury strip rate on the date of the grant. The expected life of options granted in 2008 was calculated using the simplified method whereby the vesting period and contractual period are averaged.

As of December 31, 2008, there was $65 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under our restricted stock plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of four years. The total fair value of shares vested during 2008 was $14 thousand.

As of December 31, 2008, there was $65 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to the time-vested awards. Half of the 2007 restricted share award is performance based and will vest on June 30, 2010 if, and only if, 2009 financial achievements of the Company meet very aggressive targets. Given the aggressive targets for the performance based award, compensation expense will be recognized only if the awards vest. Compensation is accounted for using the fair market value of our common stock on the date the restricted shares were awarded, which was $17.25 per share.

Note 13 Branch Acquisitions

On March 14, 2008, we purchased two branches from Millennium Bank, N. A. The purchase price of $8.5 million represented a 9.25% premium on the deposits assumed at the date of consummation.

The acquisition included the assumption of certain deposit accounts and purchase of selected loans and fixed assets as follows:

 

Assets purchased (at fair value):

  

Cash

   $ 275

Loans

     48,896

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

     102

Other assets

     173

Goodwill

     10,245

Core deposit intangibles

     20
      

Total assets acquired

   $ 59,711
      

Liabilities acquired (at fair value):

  

Deposit accounts

   $ 93,499

Other liabilities

     207
      

Total liabilities assumed

   $ 93,706
      

Net liabilities assumed

   $ 33,995
      

Of the acquired intangible assets, $20 thousand was assigned to core deposit intangibles to be amortized over a period of 28.5 months. The unamortized balance of accumulated core deposit intangibles, including previous branch acquisitions, was $503 thousand and $770 thousand at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for core deposit intangibles for the next 21 months is $24 thousand per month.

In addition, $1.6 million was assigned as a discount on the certificates of deposit assumed, while $438 thousand was assigned as a premium on the loans purchased. Weighted average lives for the certificates of deposit and loans receivable were 1.05 years and 7.0 years, respectively. The unamortized balance of the CD discount was $389 thousand and $0 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The unamortized balance of the loan premium was $391 thousand and $0 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The estimated aggregate CD discount on a monthly basis through March 2009 is $130 thousand per month. The estimated aggregate loan premium amortization on a monthly basis for the remaining 76 month amortization period is $5 thousand.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the normal course of business there are outstanding various commitments and contingent liabilities, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. We do not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions.

See Note 18 with respect to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk.

Note 15. Restrictions on Transfers to Parent

Transfers of funds from banking subsidiaries to the Parent Company in the form of loans, advances and cash dividends, are restricted by federal and state regulatory authorities. As of December 31, 2008, retained net income, which was free of restriction, amounted to $9.1 million.

Note 16. Borrowings

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Available Lines of Credit

At December 31, 2008, our Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) debt consisted of advances of $134.6 million, $122.5 million of which is callable - $85 million in 2009, $28.5 million in 2010 and $9 million in 2011. There are two advances totaling $2.1 million at December 31, 2008 which are payable semi-annually over a seven-year period beginning in 2003. Advances mature through 2015. There is a $10 million advance maturing in January 2009 with a rate which floats at 3 month LIBOR that is used to match fund certain investments also floating at 3 month LIBOR with a 170 basis point spread. At December 31, 2008, the interest rates ranged from 2.44% to 5.92% with a weighted average interest rate of 4.35%. Advances on the line are secured by a blanket lien on qualified 1 to 4 family residential real estate loans. Immediate available credit amounted to $1.6 million with existing collateral pledged and to $123 million subject to the pledge of additional collateral.

Aggregate annual maturities of FHLB advances (based on final maturity dates) are as follows:

 

2009

   $ 11,429

2010

     5,714

2011

We have unused lines of credit totaling $37.5 million with nonaffiliated banks as of December 31, 2008.

Trust Preferred Securities

On September 5, 2003, EVB Statutory Trust I (the Trust), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the

Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable capital securities. On September 17, 2003, $10 million of trust preferred securities were issued through a pooled underwriting totaling approximately $650 million. The Trust issued $310 thousand in common equity to the Company. The securities have a LIBOR indexed floating rate of interest. The interest rate at December 31, 2008 was 4.82%. The securities have a mandatory redemption date of September 17, 2033, and are subject to varying call provisions beginning September 17, 2008. The principal asset of the Trust is $10.31 million of our junior subordinated debt securities with the same maturity and interest rate structures as the capital securities.

The trust preferred securities may be included in Tier I capital for regulatory capital adequacy purposes as long as their amount does not exceed 25% of Tier I capital, including total trust preferred securities. The portion of the trust preferred securities not considered as Tier I capital, if any, may be included in Tier 2 capital. The total amount ($10 million) of trust preferred securities issued by the Trust can be included in our Tier I capital.

Our obligations with respect to the issuance of the capital securities constituted a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trust’s obligations with respect to the capital securities. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, we may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related capital securities.

Note 17. Dividend Reinvestment Plan

We have in effect a Dividend Reinvestment Plan, which provides an automatic conversion of dividends into common stock for enrolled shareholders. It is based on the stock’s fair market value on the three trading days prior to each dividend record date, and allows for voluntary contributions to purchase stock up to $5 thousand per shareholder per calendar quarter.

Note 18. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

We are party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. To varying degrees those instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.

Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance-sheet instruments.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

 

     Contract Amounts
     2008    2007
     (in thousands)

Commitments to grant loans and unfunded commitments under lines of credit

   $ 125,366    $ 112,209

Standby letters of credit

     6,338      6,291

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 us, 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 usually uncollateralized and do not always contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which we are committed.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by our bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. We generally hold collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.

We maintain cash accounts in other commercial banks. The amount on deposit with correspondent institutions at December 31, 2008 exceeded the insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation by $5.9 million.

Note 19. SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements

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 fair 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 our Company.

We adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), on January 1, 2008 to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

In February of 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2 (FSP 157-2) which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for such nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Thus, we has only partially applied SFAS 157. Those items affected by FSP 157-2 include other real estate owned (OREO), goodwill and core deposit intangibles.

In October of 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-3 (FSP 157-3) to clarify the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and to provide key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financials statements were not issued.

SFAS 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 based on these two types of inputs are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

   

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

   

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

84


Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that considers observable market data (Level 2).

The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008. Securities identified in Note 3 as restricted securities including stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) are excluded from the table below since there is no ability to sell these securities except when the FHLB or FRB require redemption based on either our borrowings at the FHLB, or in the case of the FRB changes in certain portions of our capital.

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

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

Impaired Loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed external appraiser using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

Cash and Short-Term Investments

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

Securities

For securities and marketable equity securities held for investment purposes, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. For other securities held as investments, fair value equals quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted prices for similar securities. All securities prices are provided by independent third party vendors.

Loans

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for other loans were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using market rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Short-Term Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values. Fair values of other short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Long-Term Debt

The fair values of our long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

 

86


Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit worthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.

The fair value of standby letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the fair value of loan commitments and standby letters of credit are immaterial to fair value.

We assume interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of our normal operations. As a result, the fair values of our financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to us. We attempt 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. 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. We monitor rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempt to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate our overall interest rate risk.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 20. Regulatory Matters

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and EVB 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 our and EVB’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we and EVB must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification 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.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us and EVB to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table that follows) 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). We believe, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, that we and EVB meet all capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject.

As of December 31, 2008, based on regulatory guidelines, we believe that EVB is well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, EVB must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the bank’s category.

Our Company’s and the bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table.

Note 21. Subsequent Event

On January 13, 2009, we filed an 8-K with the SEC reporting that we had signed a definitive agreement with the U. S. Department of the Treasury under the Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. The Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement under which it sold 24,000 shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A to the Treasury for an aggregate purchase price of $24 million. The filing also reported that the Company had issued a warrant to the Treasury to purchase 373,832 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $9.63 per share

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. for the period ended March 31, 2009 that was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 6, 2009 is being filed solely to correct an inadvertent miscalculation of certain risk based capital figures in the original filing. Specifically, the following figures were adjusted to correct the “Capital Resources” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I, Item 1: the risk-based capital ratio for Tier 1 capital was adjusted from 12.96% to 12.85%, the total risk based capital was adjusted from $115.9 million to $116.0 million and the risk-based capital ratio for total capital was adjusted from 14.00% to 13.89%. No other information in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 is being amended by this Amendment No. 1 and this amendment continues to speak as of the period ending date in the original filing of the Form 10-Q.

For convenience, the entire Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2009 has been re-filed in this Form 10-Q/A. Pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-15, in connection with this filing, we have filed updated Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.

EASTERN VIRGINIA BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position of Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “Company”) at March 31, 2009. The statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “2008 Form 10-K”). Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Subsequent to the filing of an 8-K with our first quarter earnings press release dated April 17, 2009, an accounting rule change was implemented that decreased our net income available to common shareholders. This rule change requires dividends on the cumulative preferred stock issued to the U. S. Treasury in January 2009 to be treated for accounting purposes as a preferred dividend for the full period outstanding in the quarter as opposed to the interim period for which the dividend was declared and payable. This action increased our effective preferred stock dividend from $120 thousand to $343 thousand, decreasing net income available to common shareholders from $603 thousand to $381 thousand and decreasing earnings per common share from $0.10 to $0.06

 

2. We were organized and chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on September 5, 1997 and commenced operations effective December 29, 1997 when Southside Bank and Bank of Northumberland, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiaries. The transaction was accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. We opened our third subsidiary in May 2000 when Hanover Bank began operations in Hanover County, Virginia. On April 24, 2006, we completed the conversion to a one-bank holding company by merging the three banking subsidiaries. The new bank began operating under the name “EVB” on April 24, 2006. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the March 2008, we purchased two branches in the Richmond market from Millennium Bank which placed us in new markets for our company and added $92 million in deposits and $49 million in loans to our balance sheet. This transaction was accretive to earnings starting in the second quarter of 2008. In the third quarter of 2008, our Quinton branch in New Kent County, Virginia relocated to a permanent branch building to better serve a growing customer base. We are constantly looking for accretive ways to expand our franchise.

After quarter end, Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. announced plans to purchase First Capital Bank located in the Richmond market. This will be a strategic alliance which will match up their strong commercial business with our strong retail experience. The merger is expected to take place in the third or fourth quarter of 2009 and is projected to be accretive to 2010 earnings. (See 8-K with the press release issued April 17, 2009.)

The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

unrealized loss positions at March 31, 2009 were primarily related to the widened market spreads for mortgage backed and corporate securities and lack of an orderly market for trust preferred securities. Holdings of GMAC contained unrealized loss positions because these securities have been downgraded by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s rating agencies to levels below investment grade. As of March 31, 2009, we held $3.0 million in GMAC bonds. These holdings are monitored regularly by our Chief Financial Officer and reported to the EVB Board on a monthly basis. Based on this analysis, we recorded a $300 thousand impairment charge on the GMAC holdings in March 2008. Given the attractive yield, our ability and intent to hold until maturity or principal recovery and the belief that the risk of default is remote, we have not recommended sale of the holdings and believe the remaining unrealized loss is temporary. GMAC has been approved to participate in the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”).

The 7 trust preferred issues with losses include 6 pooled trust preferred securities secured by debt of banks and insurance companies, primarily banks, and 1 similar issue consisting solely of bank borrowings. One of these trust preferred issues is the senior A tranche rated AAA while the other 6 issues are the D “mezzanine” tranche rated BBB by Fitch at time of issue. None of the pooled trust preferred securities had been downgraded by the rating agency as of March 31, 2009.

8. On September 21, 2000, we adopted the Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) to provide a means for selected key employees and directors to increase their personal financial interest in our Company, thereby stimulating their efforts and strengthening their desire to remain with us. Under the 2000 Plan, up to 400,000 shares of Company common stock may be granted. No options may be granted under the 2000 Plan after September 21, 2010. On April 17, 2003, the shareholders approved the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, amending and restating the 2000 Plan (the “2003 Plan”) while still authorizing the issuance of up to 400,000 shares of common stock. There are 35,443 shares still available under the 2003 Plan.

On April 19, 2007, our shareholders approved the Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. 2007 Equity

Table of Contents

Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”) to enhance our ability to recruit and retain officers, directors and employees with ability and initiative and to encourage such persons to have a greater financial interest in the company. The 2007 Plan authorizes the Company to issue up to 400,000 additional shares of common stock. No awards have been issued under the 2007 Plan.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant. We had already adopted SFAS No. 123 in 2002 and began recognizing compensation expense for stock option grants in that year, as all such grants had an exercise price not less than the fair market value on the date of the grant.

SFAS 123R also requires that new awards to employees eligible for retirement prior to the awards becoming fully vested be recognized as compensation cost over the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service to earn the award. Our stock options granted to eligible participants prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R that had an accelerated vesting feature associated with employee retirement are being recognized, as required, as compensation cost over the vesting period except in the instance where a participant reaches normal retirement age of 65 prior to the normal vesting date.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, stock option and restricted stock compensation expense of $68 thousand and $74 thousand, respectively was included in salary and benefit expense.

Stock option compensation expense is the estimated fair value of options granted, amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each stock grant award. Through March 31, there have been no awards issued in 2009. The weighted average estimated fair value of stock options granted in the year 2008 was $3.62. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions indicated in the table below:

 

     2008     2007     2006  

Dividend rate:

   2.82   2.82   2.97

Price Volatility:

   33.25   32.89   22.94

Risk-free interest rate:

   3.56   4.56   4.65

Expected life:

   7 Years      7 Years      10 Years   

The dividend rate is calculated as the average quarterly dividend yield on our stock for the past seven years by dividing the quarterly dividend by the average daily closing price of the stock for the period. Volatility is a measure of the standard deviation of the daily closing stock price plus dividend yield for the same period. The risk-free interest rate is the seven-year Treasury strip rate on the date of the grant. The expected life of options granted in 2008 was calculated using the simplified method whereby the vesting period and the contractual period are averaged.

As of March 31, 2009, there was $427 thousand of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options that will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period of approximately 1.9 years. There were no options granted in the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 or 2008. There were no shares exercised in the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 or 2008.

We awarded 15,000 shares of restricted stock to employees on December 20, 2007. One half of these shares are subject to time vesting at 20% per year over a five–year period. At March 31, 2009 there was $61 thousand of total unrecognized compensation related to the time-vested awards. The other half of the restricted share award is performance based and will vest on June 30, 2010 if, and only if, 2009 financial achievements of the Company meet very aggressive targets. Given the aggressive targets for the performance-based award, the Company does not anticipate these awards to vest and therefore no compensation expense has been recorded to date on these awards. Compensation is accounted for using the fair market value of our common stock on the date the restricted shares were awarded, which was $17.25 per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, restricted stock compensation expense of $6 thousand and $7 thousand, respectively, was included in salary and benefit expense.

We made our required 2008 fiscal year contribution to the pension plan in December 2008 in the amount of $642 thousand. We project that we will make a contribution of $941 thousand in 2009.

10. SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements

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 fair 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 our Company.

We adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), on January 1, 2008 to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

In October of 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-3 (FSP 157-3) to clarify the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and to provide key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financials statements were not issued.

SFAS 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 based on these two types of inputs are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

   

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

   

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that considers observable market data (Level 2).

The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2009. Securities identified in Note 3 as restricted securities including stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) are excluded from the table below since there is no ability to sell these securities except when the FHLB or FRB require redemption based on either our borrowings at the FHLB, or in the case of the FRB changes in certain portions of our capital.

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

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

Impaired Loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed external appraiser using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other Real Estate Owned: Certain assets such as other real estate owned (“OREO”) are measured at fair value less cost to sell. We believe that the fair value component in our valuation or OREO follows the provisions of SFAS No. 157.

The following table summarizes our financial assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2009.

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather, provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. The FASB approved a one-year deferral for the implementation of the Statement for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2009 without a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). The Standard significantly changed the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles for how an acquirer recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for acquisition dates on or after the beginning of an entity’s first year that begins after December 15, 2008. Due to the announced acquisition of First Capital Bancorp, Inc, the Company expects the implementation of SFAS 141(R) to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies.” FSP FAS 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies SFAS 141(R) to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The FSP is effective for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Due to the announced acquisition of First Capital Bancorp, Inc, the Company expects the implementation of SFAS 141(R) to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. The FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Earlier adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. In addition, the FSP amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The FSP is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-2 amends other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-

 

15


Table of Contents

than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities. The FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-2 having a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 111 (SAB 111). SAB 111 amends and replaces SAB Topic 5.M. in the SAB Series entitled “Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” SAB 111 maintains the SEC Staff’s previous views related to equity securities and amends Topic 5.M. to exclude debt securities from its scope. Implementation of SAB 111 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We present management’s discussion and analysis of financial information to aid the reader in understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. This discussion provides information about our major components of the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented elsewhere in this report and in the 2008 Form 10-K. Operating results include those of all our operating entities combined for all periods presented.

We provide a broad range of personal and commercial banking services including commercial, consumer and real estate loans. We complement our lending operations with an array of retail and commercial deposit products and fee-based services. Our services are delivered locally by well-trained and experienced bankers whom we empower to make decisions at the local level so that they can provide timely lending decisions and respond promptly to customer inquiries. We believe that, by offering our customers personalized service and a breadth of products, we can compete effectively as we expand within our existing markets and into new markets.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. For example, we use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ substantially from the historical factors

Table of Contents

that we use. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when their occurrence is probable and estimable and (ii) SFAS No.114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of the collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.

We evaluate non-performing loans individually for impairment, such as nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more, restructured loans and other loans selected by management as required by SFAS No. 114. 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 the impairment. If a loan evaluated individually is not impaired, then the loan is assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 5.

For loans without individual measures of impairment, we make 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 general collateral type. A loss rate reflecting the expected loss inherent in a group of loans is derived based upon historical loss rates for each loan type, the predominant collateral type for the group and the terms of the loan. The resulting estimates of losses for groups of loans are adjusted for relevant environmental factors and other conditions of the portfolio of loans including: borrower or industry concentrations; levels and trends in delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries; changes in risk selection; level of experience, ability and depth of lending staff; and national and local economic conditions.

The amounts of estimated losses for loans individually evaluated for impairment and groups of loans are added together for a total estimate of loan losses. The estimate of losses is compared to our allowance for loan losses as of the evaluation date and, if the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be considered. If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the estimate is evaluated to determine whether a reduction to the allowance would be necessary. While management uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the valuations. Such adjustments would be made in the relevant period and may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, requires the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. For purchase acquisitions, we are required to record assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities at their fair value, which in many instances involves estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation techniques. Effective January 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”) which prescribes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 discontinue the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, but require at least an annual impairment review and more frequently if certain impairment indicators are in evidence. Additionally, we adopted SFAS No. 147 Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, on January 1, 2002, and determined that core deposit intangibles will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Goodwill totaled $16.0 million at both March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Based on the testing of goodwill for impairment, no impairment charges have been recorded. Core deposit intangible assets are being amortized over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from 2.39 to 7.0 years. Core deposit intangibles, net of amortization, amounted to $431 thousand and $503 thousand, at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and are included in other assets.

As discussed above in Note 1, subsequent to the filing of an 8-K with our first quarter earnings press release dated April 17, 2009, an accounting rule change was implemented that reduced our net income available to common shareholders. This rule change requires dividends on the cumulative preferred stock issued to the U. S. Treasury in January 2009 to be treated for accounting purposes as a preferred dividend for the full period outstanding in the quarter as opposed to the interim period for which the dividend was declared and payable. This action increased our effective preferred stock dividend from $120 thousand to $343 thousand, decreasing net income available to common shareholders from $603 thousand to $381 thousand and decreasing earnings per common share from $0.10 to $0.06

OVERVIEW

First quarter results for 2009 reflect the impact of continued volatility and uncertainty in the world economic environment. Our financial statements reflect the local impact of this recession with large increases in federal funds sold, a decline in loan growth, a large increase in loan loss provision, increased collection expense, an increase in OREO, increases in deposits as investors look for safe havens to store their cash, lower interest income as a result of the rapid rate declines in 2008, decreasing noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expense primarily as a result of our branch expansion last year. These changes are not limited to just our bank. Community banks including our Company rely primarily on earnings from lending in the local markets that they serve. Community banks are living with the hardship of their customers and neighbors and being impacted by the slowing of loan payments resulting in deterioration in asset quality.

On January 9, 2009 Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. issued 24,000 shares of preferred stock to the U. S. Treasury. The Company had applied for funds under the TARP Capital Purchase Plan (“CPP”). This funding increases the capital level at both the holding company and the bank. The agreement also requires us to pay a 5% dividend on the preferred stock for the first five years, then increases to 9% for all periods after the first five years if we have not redeemed the preferred stock. In addition we issued a warrant to the U. S. Treasury giving them the right to purchase 373,832 shares of our common stock at $9.63 per share for up to 10 years. These funds put an already well capitalized company in a stronger position. Management continues to evaluate the impact to the Company if we repay these funds early.

Subsequent to quarter end, management announced on April 3, 2009, a definitive merger agreement with First Capital Bancorp, Inc. (“FCVA”) in the Richmond marketplace This strategic alliance of a strong retail business with a strong commercial business, expected to close in late 2009, should offer the new Company a stronger earnings base as we look forward to 2010. Both Companies are well capitalized.

Net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2009 was $381 thousand compared to $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2008. This decline was the result of a number of factors, some of which were planned for and others that resulted from the rapid descent of the financial markets in the second half of 2008. Interest income and expense decreased, resulting in a net interest income decline of $641 thousand. While average earning assets grew $128.3 million over their 2008 balances, $104.4 million of the growth was in loans that were priced lower than the previous portfolio rate and $35.7 million was in Federal funds sold which earned 0.24% compared to 2.76% at this time in 2008. Average interest bearing liabilities balances increased $138.2 million which was $9.9 million more than loan growth. The rate impact on these balances caused much of the earnings decline in the quarter. In addition loan income was hurt by an average of $15.6 million in nonaccrual loans that lowered our yield on the loan portfolio. Investment income declined partially from lower rates on new investments but more from the Treasury conservatorship of the FNMA and FHLMC which eliminated our agency preferred stock dividends and the cessation of dividends from the Atlanta FHLB. During the first quarter of 2009, management increased the loan loss provision 100% compared to the first quarter of 2008. Management considered this action prudent considering deterioration in asset quality. Noninterest income decreased $1.1 million primarily from a $1.0 million of nonrecurring net gains in the first quarter of 2008. Finally, our branch expansion and some infrastructure changes in 2008 resulted in an increased noninterest expense.

Looking to the rest of the year, we anticipate the federal government’s economic stimulus plan will help revive loan demand and we have developed some new loan products to assist customers in bridging the credit crunch. On a linked quarter basis, interest expense on deposits in the first quarter of 2009 was $130 thousand less than in the fourth quarter of 2008. Over the remainder of the year we anticipate net interest margin improvement as repricing of deposits should exceed repricing of loans. The Federal Reserve is focused on reviving the economy and there are some signs of deflation in recent reports, so we do not anticipate any major rate changes unless inflation is rekindled by an economic expansion. The TARP money has enhanced our capital position as the parent infused the bank with $20 million more of

regulatory capital. We anticipate increased loan losses in the short run and have prepared for that expectation. We have quality individuals managing our past due loans and foreclosed properties to minimize our potential losses. As the economy recovers, we are positioned to take advantage of all opportunities that present themselves.

Financial Condition

Return on average assets (ROA) for the first quarter of 2009 declined to 0.14%, compared to 1.15% in the same quarter of 2008, and return on average equity (ROE) declined to 1.56% compared to 11.63% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. While operating net income was $723 thousand, the subtraction of $342 thousand in effective preferred dividends, further lowered the numerator in this ratio.

Total assets at March 31, 2009 were $1.10 billion, up $46.7 million, or 4.4%, from $1.05 billion at year-end 2008 and up $80.5 million, or 7.9% from March 31, 2008, when total assets were $1.02 billion. This increase is the result of strong deposit growth, particularly in the first quarter of 2009 and the addition of $24 million from the issuance of preferred stock. Loan growth for the first quarter of 2009 was $9.8 million, or 1.2% compared to the 2008 year-end balance. For the quarter, total average assets were $1.08 billion, an increase of 15.6% compared to $931.4 million in the first quarter of 2008. For the quarter ending March 31, 2009, average total loans, net of unearned income were $824.3 million, an increase of $104.4 million, or 14.5%, from $719.9 million in the same quarter of 2008. At March 31, 2009, net loans as a percent of total assets were 74.5%, as compared to 76.9% at December 31, 2008. While this portfolio should be able to generate a strong earnings stream, the current economic uncertainty overshadows our near term earnings.

At March 31, 2009, the investment portfolio totaled $164.3 million, a decrease of $16.6 million from $180.9 million at March 31, 2008 and an increase of $2.4 million from $161.9 million at year-end 2008. Interest rates during the first quarter of 2009 were fairly steady and low compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Our unrealized losses especially in pooled trust preferred and corporate securities increased compared to year-end 2008 balances. We continue to monitor the payment streams of these instruments focusing on the deferred payments and defaulted payments. For more detail, see the securities note earlier in the document. Most of the funds that are invested in the investment portfolio are part of management’s effort to balance interest rate risk and to provide liquidity. Management, recognizing the potential liquidity impact that the increase in unrealized losses could have, opted to participate in the TARP Capital Purchase Program to assist in our loan growth and provide an extra cushion in the event that we have additional impairment on our securities.

Total deposits of $852.6 million at March 31, 2009 represented an increase of $39.1 million, or 4.8%, from $813.5 million at year-end 2008 and an increase of $89.2 million, or 11.7%, from $763.4 million at March 31, 2008. The cost of deposits continues to decrease, and we anticipate that it will drop more as large blocks of certificates of deposit reprice, bringing the loan to deposit spread back to a more normal level. All deposit prices are evaluated frequently by our asset liability committee and adjusted as needed to reflect the competitive rate environment.

FHLB borrowings at March 31, 2009 totaled $124.6 million, a $10.0 million, or 7.4%, decrease compared to $134.6 million at December 31, 2008 and an $11.4 million decrease from $136.1 million at March 31, 2008. With the large balance in Federal funds sold, we do not anticipate additional borrowing this year. Over the remainder of the year, we expect to cover our funding needs by attracting lower cost deposits and anticipate maturing certificates of deposit will re-price at lower rates.

SFAS No. 115 requires the Company to show the effect of market changes in the value of securities available for sale. The effect of the change in market value of securities, net of income taxes, is reflected in a line titled “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss), net” in the Shareholders’ Equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The securities portion was a $14.1 million loss at March 31, 2009 an increase of $2.3 million from an $11.8 million loss at December 31, 2008 and an increase of $9.6 million from a $4.5 million loss at March 31, 2008. The unrealized loss on securities is presented as a value at one specific point in time but fluctuates significantly over time depending on interest rate changes. Also included in this line item is a $3.2 million loss related to the market decrease in the value of the pension plan (SFAS No. 158).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

With the addition of the preferred stock on our balance sheet, we need to analyze income on two levels: income from operations and income available to common shareholders. Preferred dividends and accretion of discount on the preferred stock are recorded before any dividends can be paid to the common stock holders.

As noted earlier, net income available to common shareholders was $381 thousand compared to $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2008. Diluted earnings per common share decreased 86.7% to $0.06, compared to $0.45 for the same quarter in 2008. Approximately $1.03 million (pretax), or $0.11 per share after tax, of the 2008 first quarter net income was the result of nonrecurring items. Net interest income decreased $641 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in net interest income for the first quarter 2009 was the result of loan interest income declining $550 thousand, securities income down $185 thousand and dividend income decreasing $111 thousand. These declines were the result of loans repricing in a lower rate environment, the loss of FNMA and FHLMC securities income and the loss of the FHLB dividend. Interest on interest bearing liabilities declined $189 thousand to offset some of the interest income decline. The impact of the material decline in interest income with less decline in deposit expense compressed the loan deposit interest spread. The final major earning asset, Federal funds sold, had average balances of $36.6 million with a yield of only 0.24%, earned $22 thousand in the first quarter. As we invest this large pool of funds in higher earning assets and as deposit expense continues to fall with deposit funds repricing at lower rates, the squeeze on our margin in the first quarter should relax as we go through the remainder of the year. In addition to the margin contraction, management added $450 thousand more provision for loan loss expense to end the first quarter 2009 at $900 thousand compared to $450 thousand in 2008 first quarter.

Noninterest income for the first quarter 2009 was $1.6 million, compared to $2.7 million in 2008’s first quarter, a decline of $1.1 million, or 41.4%. Excluding the impact of the 2008 nonrecurring gain mentioned above, noninterest income was down $72 thousand at $1.6 million for the first quarter 2009 compared to an adjusted $1.6 million for the same period in 2008. Deposit fees declined $31 thousand and investment fees were down $31 thousand. Securities impairment declined $284 thousand, as we had a $16 thousand impairment charge in the first quarter of 2009.

Noninterest expense rose $784 thousand, or 11.9%, to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $6.6 million in the comparable period of 2008, as all categories, except marketing and advertising, increased. Part of this increase is caused by the impact of a full quarter of operating expense from the Millennium branches purchased in the first quarter of 2008. Salary expenses increased $307 thousand to $4.0 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $3.7 million in 2008. FDIC expense increased $225 thousand, or 300%, compared to the same period in 2008.

Net Interest Income

Our primary source of income is net interest income which on a fully tax equivalent basis totaled $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2009, a $637 thousand decrease from $8.4 million in the first quarter of 2008. Average earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $1.0 billion an increase of $128.3 million compared to $877.7 million for the same period in 2008. Average loans increased $104.4 million, or 14.5%. Average securities decreased $11.8 million, or 7.5%. Average federal funds sold increased $35.7 million, or over 4,000%, for the first quarter of 2009, reflecting the increase in deposits, the slowing of loan growth and the influx of the TARP money. The fully tax equivalent net interest margin for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 was 3.12% compared to 3.84% for the same quarter in 2008. For the quarter ended March 31 2009, the yield on earning assets declined 116 basis points to 5.69%, compared to 6.85% for the first quarter of 2008, and the cost of interest bearing liabilities was down 63 basis points to 2.95% from 3.58% in the same period in 2008. This 72 basis point decrease in earnings in our net interest margin equates to approximately $7.2 million on an annualized basis, or over $1.8 million in the first quarter. In addition, we had an increased balance in nonaccruing loans which further lowered interest income. Our decrease in funding costs is across the board with decreases in all interest bearing deposit categories. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the average balances for all interest bearing liabilities, except savings and fed funds purchased, increased. The notes in the following schedule show the derivation of the tax equivalent amount which is added to GAAP net interest income.

Table of Contents

Noninterest Income

This category includes all income not related to interest on investments and interest and fees on loans. Noninterest income excluding net realized gains or losses on securities sales was $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $2.6 million income for the same quarter in 2008. Prior year noninterest income was aided by a nonrecurring $1.3 million actuarial gain from our pension plan conversion partially offset by a $300 thousand securities impairment. Core noninterest earning categories showed a decline mostly related to the economic environment. Service charges on deposit accounts for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $934 thousand, a decline of $31 thousand compared to $965 thousand for the comparable period in 2008. Overdraft and NSF fees decreased $37 thousand from the first quarter 2008 reflecting a change of customer attitude in this depressed economy. Debit and credit card fees increased $13 thousand, or 5.1%, to $269 thousand compared to $256 thousand in the first quarter of 2008. The rate of increase has slowed compared to the double-digit increases of the last couple of years, again reflecting our customers conservative stance in our current economic environment. Other operating income was declined $35 thousand to $327 thousand for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $362 thousand in the same period in 2008 with mostly offsetting increases and decreases in the various categories. Management believes the decline in these income flows reflect the caution utilized by our customer base in this depressed economy.

Noninterest Expense

This category includes all expenses other than interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Total noninterest expense was $7.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $784 thousand, or 11.9%, compared to $6.6 million in the same quarter of 2008. There were increases in all the identified categories, except marketing and advertising which declined $47 thousand, primarily from having no new branch opening expenses in the 2009 quarter. Salaries and benefits increased $307 thousand to $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $3.6 million in the same quarter in 2008. Occupancy expense increased $100 thousand to $1.2 million compared to $1.1 million in the same quarter in 2008. Telephone expense increased $77 thousand and other operating expenses rose $122 thousand to $290 thousand and $1.4 million respectively. These increases in the first quarter 2009, compared to first quarter 2008, included $106 thousand that was the result of the full impact of the two new branches purchased late in March 2008 and the relocation of two branches to larger, more modern facilities. In addition, $103 thousand of the salary and benefit increase comes from higher group insurance expense. After salaries and benefits, the single highest increase was in FDIC expense at $300 thousand, up 300%, or $225 thousand, compared to $75 thousand for the first quarter 2008. This expense will increase significantly more in the second quarter of 2009 when in addition to the raised rate, a special assessment will be levied on all banks insured by the FDIC at a rate not yet finalized.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $119 thousand compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2008 reflecting the effect of lower net interest income and the increased reserve for loan loss. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 14.5% and 28.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

ASSET QUALITY

The Company’s allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the amount needed to provide for possible losses in the loan portfolio. In determining adequacy of the allowance, management considers the Company’s historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, specific impaired loans, the overall level of nonperforming loans, the value and adequacy of collateral and guarantors, experience and depth of lending staff, effects of credit concentrations and economic conditions. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense and reduced by charge offs, net of recoveries. Because the risk of loan loss includes general economic trends as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the allowance for loan losses can only be an estimate. (See the Allowance for Loan Losses discussion under Critical Accounting Policies earlier in this section.)

Total nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest and foreclosed properties, were $20.9 million at March 31, 2009, $16.7 million at December 31, 2008 and $5.3 million at March 31, 2008. This increase is the result of a depressed economy that has put record numbers of people out of work, making their ability to pay on formerly good paying loans a challenge. The weak real estate market, which has slowed sales of homes, has caused our Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) properties to stay in a nonperforming status for a longer period of time. Nonperforming assets are composed largely (92.3%) of loans secured by real estate in the Company’s market area and repossessed properties in our OREO balances. Nonaccrual loans at

Table of Contents

March 31, 2009 were $17.2 million. In the first quarter of 2009, OREO increased $383 thousand from $560 thousand at year-end 2008 to $943 thousand at the end of March 2009. Currently, we have 2 homes and a developer’s property with 8 lots in our OREO inventory. We expect to recover most of the current balance in this account. As more foreclosures occur in our markets, we expect our OREO balance to increase over most of 2009. The depressed economy has affected our real estate markets causing deflation in property values.

Nonaccrual loans have increased $3.6 million from $13.6 million at year-end 2008 and $13.6 million from $3.9 million at March 31, 2008. This increase reflects the impact of the various economic issues in the second half of 2008. Of the current balance of $17.2 million in nonaccrual loans, $16.9 million is secured. Within these secured loans, $15.6 million are secured by real estate, $1.1 million are secured by various commercial equipment and inventories and the remainder is covered by individual homes. Of the real estate secured loans, $10.7 million are real estate construction, $3.4 million are residential real estate and $1.5 million are commercial properties. At this point in time, despite the bargain hunter lethargic real estate market, management anticipates recovering over 90% of the value and has made increased provision allotments to cover the potential losses.

At March 31, 2009 the last component of our nonperforming loans, loans past due 90 days and accruing interest, was $2.8, million an increase of $234 thousand from year end 2008 and an increase of $2.1 million from a $734 thousand balance at March 31, 2008. Of the $2.8 million current balance, $2.7 million is secured by real estate with no losses anticipated.

While our real estate markets have been stable in the past with a very low historical loss experience, the present environment is uncharted ground, presenting a greater challenge to management. The increase in nonaccrual loans is heavily concentrated in the construction loan category and is a management focus. Nonaccrual loans include $1.1 million of loans that are current as to both principal and interest, but have been placed on nonaccrual status as an abundance of caution.

Loan charge-offs, less recoveries, amounted to $300 thousand for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $84 thousand for the same quarter in 2008, while the annualized ratio of net charge-offs to total average loans, net of unearned income, was 0.15% for the first quarter of 2009, compared to 0.24% for the full year 2008 and 0.05% for the first quarter 2008. Credit quality management continues to be our top priority. The lenders and our collection area are maintaining close contact with our troubled customers, but charge-offs are inevitable in this environment. With the high level of real estate secured debt and the large increase in loan loss reserves taken, management is confident that we can successfully manage through the economic downturn. We anticipate larger provision expense as the asset quality dictates the need.

At March 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was $11.1 million, an increase of $600 thousand when compared to $10.5 million at December 31, 2008, and up $2.4 million, compared to $8.7 million at March 31, 2008. The increase in allowance has been dictated by the declining asset quality in our depressed economy. The allowance is a reflection of loss inherent in the portfolio and not a forecast of actual current nonperforming loans. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.34% at March 31, 2009, 1.29% at 2008 year-end and 1.14% at March 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2009 included $3.4 million of specific impaired loan reserves.

At March 31, 2009, the Company reported a balance of $34.0 million in impaired loans, an increase of $9.8 million from $24.2 million at December 31, 2008 and an increase of $14.4 million from $6.4 million at March 31, 2008. The average balance of impaired loans for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $16.3 million.

At March 31, 2009 we also had $17.6 million in loans classified as potential problem loans that were excluded from impaired and nonaccrual status. These loans are currently performing and no loss is anticipated at this time based on management’s on-going analysis. Management considers all loans that are adversely risk rated as potential problem loans. These loans are risk rated based on the borrowers’ perceived ability to comply with current repayment terms. These loans are subject to constant management and Board attention, and their status is reviewed on a regular basis. Factors that cause a loan to be adversely risk rated include:

 

   

Failure to provide the bank with current financial statement and tax return

 

   

Declining or negative earnings trends

 

   

Declining or inadequate liquidity

 

   

Concerns about the business that is intended to provide the source of repayment

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity represents our ability to meet present and future deposit withdrawals, to fund loans, to maintain reserve requirements and to operate the organization. To meet our liquidity needs, we maintain cash reserves and have an adequate flow of funds from maturing loans, securities and short-term investments. In addition, our subsidiary bank maintains borrowing arrangements with major regional banks and with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). We consider our sources of liquidity to be sufficient to meet our estimated liquidity needs.

With a balance of $34.3 million in Federal funds sold and the expectation of strong deposit growth in 2009, we are in a strong liquidity position as of the end of March 2009. Our FHLB borrowings declined $10 million in the first quarter of 2009. These were the only changes to our contractual obligations that would impact liquidity since the 2008 Form 10-K disclosure. At March 31, 2009, we had immediate available credit with the FHLB of $15.1 million and with nonaffiliated banks of $40.0 million. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2008 Form 10-K for further FHLB information.

There have been no material changes in off-balance sheet arrangements since the 2008 Form 10-K disclosure.

Management believes that we maintain overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy our depositors’ requirements and meet our customers’ credit needs.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

For Tier 1 capital, our risk-based capital position at March 31, 2009 was $107.3 million, or 12.85% of risk-weighted assets, and $116.0 million, or 13.89%, for total risk based capital. Our Tier 1 leverage ratio at March 31, 2009 was 10.14%. Our year-end 2008 ratios were 10.51%, 11.56% and 8.62%, respectively. Enhancing our capital ratios to support future growth is a major goal of management. While a stock offering in December 2006 allowed us to grow and maintain reasonable capital ratios over the last two years, the infusion of the TARP funds puts us in a position to handle the challenges in the near future. At March 31, 2008, these ratios were 11.47%, 12.43% and 9.67%, respectively.

Tier 1 capital consists primarily of common shareholders’ equity, while total risk based capital includes our trust preferred borrowing and a portion of the allowance for loan losses to Tier 1. Risk weighted assets are determined by assigning various levels of risk to different categories of assets and off-balance sheet activities. Under current risk based capital standards, all banks and bank holding companies are required to have a Tier 1 capital of at least 4% and a total capital ratio of at least 8%.

INFLATION

In financial institutions, unlike most other industries, virtually all of the assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a bank’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. While interest rates are significantly impacted by inflation, neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes are directly related to price level movements. The impact of inflation on interest rates, loan demand, and deposits is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information contained in this discussion may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We caution you to be aware of the speculative nature of “forward-looking statements.” These statements are not guarantees of performance or results. Statements that are not historical in nature, including statements that include the words “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “continue,” “assume” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although these statements reflect our good faith belief based on current expectations, estimates and projections about (among other things) the industry and the markets in which we operate, they are not guarantees of future performance. Whether actual results will conform to our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties discussed in this Form 10-Q, including the following:

 

   

the strength of the economy in our target market area, as well as general economic, market, or business conditions;

 

   

changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios, including adverse developments in borrower industries, decline in real estate values in our markets, or in the repayment ability of individual borrowers or issuers;

 

   

changes in the interest rates affecting our deposits and our loans;

 

   

the loss of any of our key employees;

 

   

changes in our competitive position, competitive actions by other financial institutions and the competitive nature of the financial services industry and our ability to compete effectively against other financial institutions in our banking markets;

 

   

an insufficient allowance for loan losses as a result of inaccurate assumptions;

 

   

our ability to manage growth;

 

   

our potential growth, including our entrance or expansion into new markets, the opportunities that may be presented to and pursued by us and the need for sufficient capital to support that growth;

 

   

our ability to assess and manage our asset quality;

 

   

changes in government monetary policy, interest rates, deposit flow, the cost of funds, and demand for loan products and financial services;

 

   

our ability to maintain internal control over financial reporting;

 

   

our ability to raise capital as needed by our business;

 

   

our reliance on secondary sources, such as Federal Home Loan Bank advances, sales of securities and loans, federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks and out-of-market time deposits, to meet our liquidity needs;

 

   

changes in laws, regulations and the policies of federal or state regulators and agencies; and

 

   

other circumstances, many of which are beyond our control.

All of the forward-looking statements made in this filing are qualified by these factors, and there can be no assurance that the actual results anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us or our business or operations. You should also refer to risks detailed under the “Risk Factors” section included in the 2008 Form 10-K and otherwise included in our periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for specific factors that could cause our actual results to be significantly different from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in market risk since 2008 year end as disclosed in the 2008 Form 10-K.

Table of Contents
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on such evaluation, such officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period. In addition, while we have reorganized and centralized many functions over the last year, we have maintained the control points that had been previously established.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We believe that the merger of our subsidiary banks continues to have a positive impact on internal controls by decreasing the number of banks, accounts and internal processes and procedures.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the registrant or any of its subsidiaries is a party. The only litigation in which we and our subsidiaries are involved pertains to collection suits involving delinquent loan accounts in the normal course of business.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in the 2008 Form 10-K.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In January 2001, the Board of Directors gave the authority to management to repurchase up to 5% of the outstanding shares of the company’s stock per calendar year based on the number of shares outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year. This authority has been reaffirmed each year and was most recently reaffirmed in June of 2007. There have been no repurchases of common stock since early 2008. There is no stated expiration date for the Plan. No shares were repurchased in the first quarter of 2009. A stipulation of the TARP agreement restricts the company from repurchasing common stock without first obtaining Treasury approval.

[EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION]

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Introduction—Below is a discussion of the philosophy, the strategy and the major details of the approach to compensating senior management. The approach has been developed under the direction and oversight of the Compensation Committee of EVB (the “Committee”), which functions as the compensation committee of the Company, with assistance from independent compensation consultants and with input from management.

Our Executive Management is expected to design and execute our business plan that leads to superior returns for shareholders. Following this discussion, you will find tables containing detailed information concerning compensation earned or paid for 2008 and prior years to our “named executive officers”.

 

   

Joe A. Shearin – President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and EVB

 

   

Ronald L. Blevins – Chief Financial Officer of the Company and Executive Vice President/CFO of EVB

 

   

Joseph H. James, Jr. – Chief Operations Officer of the Company and Senior Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer of EVB

 

   

James S. Thomas – Chief Credit Officer of the Company and Executive Vice President/Chief Credit Officer of EVB

The discussion below is intended to help you understand the information provided in tables that follow and provide context for our overall executive compensation program.

Objective—The primary objective of our executive compensation program is to assure that we have competent and motivated Executive Management to lead the Company. To accomplish this objective, we must provide competitive levels of compensation to attract, retain and reward outstanding executives. The banking industry is very competitive, and excellent leadership is vital to achieving superior returns for our shareholders. To that end, we believe that:

 

   

Our Executive Management should have compensation opportunities at levels that are competitive with peer institutions.

 

   

Total compensation should include significant “at risk” components that are linked to annual results, as well as to longer term performance.

 

   

Stock-based compensation should form a key component of total compensation as a means of aligning the interests of key executives with those of our shareholders.

Table of Contents

Discussion of Our Approach—Our general approach is to provide executive compensation consistent with promoting shareholder value. To this end, the Committee designs compensation plans and incentives to link the financial interests of the Company’s executive officers to the interests of shareholders, to support the Company’s long-term goals, to tie compensation to the Company’s performance and to attract, retain and motivate talented leadership. The Committee has retained CT (formerly CapTrust) Executive Compensation Group (“CTEBG”), an independent compensation consultant, to assist it in developing and administering its executive compensation program.

The Compensation Committee operates under a charter adopted by the EVB Board, which outlines its duties and authority, and is guided by an Executive Compensation Philosophy and Strategy statement which provides an overall blueprint for developing and administering executive compensation programs. In addition, for 2009 and subsequent years, as a result of the Company’s sale of preferred shares to the Department of Treasury as discussed later in this section, the Committee and the Company will comply with legal and contractual terms affecting the executive compensation process.

We rely upon the following principles in structuring compensation arrangements for our management team:

 

  1. Benchmarking—Our stated goal is to provide base salaries, incentive compensation both long-term and short-term and benefits for our executives that are competitive with that offered by comparable Virginia banking institutions. In order to determine competitiveness in the marketplace, we relied in 2008 and plan to rely in 2009 upon an analysis of peer institutions, similar in asset size and corporate structure, prepared by CTEBG. The members of this peer group include:

 

Access National Corporation
Alliance Bankshares Corporation
    American National Bankshares, Inc.
C & F Financial Corporation
Cardinal Financial Corporation
Central Virginia Bankshares, Inc.
Eagle Financial Services, Inc.
Fauquier Bankshares, Inc.
First Community Banchares, Inc.
Middleburg Financial Corporation
National Bankshares, Inc.
Old Point Financial Corporation
Union Bankshares Corporation
Virginia Commerce Bancorp, Inc.

Four institutions included in the peer group previously were removed as a result of their reorganization or merger.

We believe that total compensation for our CEO should approach the 75th percentile because of his continued outstanding leadership in integrating and consolidating our organization, as well as in driving above average performance compared to that of the average of our peer group discussed above. For our management team total compensation should near the 50th percentile of our peer group.

 

  2. Allocation of Elements of Compensation—We believe that the weighting of elements of total compensation (specifically salary, annual bonus and long term incentives) should vary somewhat within the management group in order to reflect more closely the role of each senior manager and his or her ability to influence performance. (See Matrix in Annual Bonus discussion below.) The weighting of these elements of compensation for our management team currently approximates the weighting of others in our peer group, with salary comprising slightly more than 70%. Over time, we expect to shift the weighting of total compensation more toward variable compensation (annual bonus and long term incentives).

 

  3. Pay for Performance—To promote shareholder value, we are continuing to focus on performance-based incentives. In 2007, we reviewed and revised our annual bonus program and introduced a long-term incentive program for our management team consistent with this principle.

Table of Contents

Elements of Compensation—The Company uses the following elements of compensation and benefits to recruit, retain and reward its key executives:

 

  1. Salary—A competitive salary for key executives is essential. Furthermore, flexibility to adapt to the particular skills of an individual or the specific needs of the Company is required. Salary adjustments for the year for executive management, other than himself, based on performance of the Company and of the specific individuals, are presented to the Committee by Mr. Shearin, typically in February or March. The Committee reviews the recommendations, makes any further adjustments and approves the changes. Mr. Shearin’s salary is reviewed by the Compensation Committee in executive session and approved. Discussed later in this section are employment agreements between the Company and certain members of Executive Management. Salary levels for 2008 and 2009 were determined by comparison with peer group salaries for comparable executive positions. Performance compared to peer group and the factors discussed in the matrix under Annual Bonus below are considered in decisions to adjust salaries by Mr. Shearin and the Compensation Committee.

Under normal circumstances the Company has a practice of awarding annual merit increases based upon an individual’s personal performance. As a result of unprecedented economic turbulence that affected the industry and Company, Mr. Shearin recommended and the Committee approved suspending the practice of merit increases for 2009.

 

  2. Annual Bonus (“ADIBP”)—We offer key executives an opportunity to receive an annual bonus of up to 25 percent of salary. At the beginning of the year the maximum amount of bonus for each executive is set by the Committee for the CEO, and by the CEO for other members of Executive Management. The purpose of this plan is to target specific year-over-year results. During 2008, we revised the plan to incorporate the following performance measurements: regulatory compliance, financial reporting, budget compliance, credit quality, asset growth, net income growth and critical factors. The specific weighting of these factors for each executive varies, depending upon his or her responsibilities. For example, Mr. Shearin’s bonus under the ADIBP for 2008 was based 15% on regulatory compliance, 15% on budget compliance, 20% on net income growth, 20% on asset growth, 10% on credit quality and 20% on critical factors (individual goals set by the Committee). For others in executive management, the mix and the weight components varies. At a meeting of the Committee, usually in February, Mr. Shearin proposes the actual bonus amounts for the year ending the preceding December for key executives, other than himself. The Committee reviews the performance metrics based on worksheets prepared by the CEO.

Annual bonus metrics for each of the named executives is provided in the table below:

 

     Percent Weighting by Position

Metric

   CEO    COO    CFO    CCO

Regulatory compliance

   15    15    15    15

Financial reporting

         20   

Budget compliance

   15    15    15    10

Credit quality

   15    15       25

Asset growth

   20    20    20    15

Net income

   15    15    15    15

Critical factors

   20    20    15    20

Target performance for 2008 for each of the metrics listed above was:

 

   

Regulatory compliance – Adherence to regulatory and audit requirements with unqualified opinion from registered public accounting firm and satisfactory rating from regulatory authorities. This performance target was met in 2008.

 

   

Financial Reporting – Timely and accurate reporting to the SEC, FRB and board without adverse comment. This performance target was met in 2008.

 

   

Budget compliance – Compliance with division and department-specific budgets. This performance target was not met in 2008.

 

4


Table of Contents
   

Credit quality – Maintain credit quality above the average of named peer group. This performance target was believed to have been met in 2008, but some peer group data is not yet available.

 

   

Asset growth – Average assets of $1.008 billion. In 2008, our average assets were $996.4 million, or 99.6% of the target.

 

   

Net income – Net income of $8.82 million. In 2008, our net income was $3.07 million. This performance target was not met in 2008.

 

   

Critical factors are at the individual level and in many cases include confidential information; however, all individual critical factors were achieved in 2008.

Although calculation of a bonus is based on a formula including specific metrics, payment of a bonus is discretionary. Under normal circumstances, members of Executive Management who had met some or all of their objectives would have received some portion of a bonus in 2008. However, because of unprecedented economic turbulence that affected the financial industry and the Company, Mr. Shearin proposed, and the Committee agreed, that no bonus be paid for 2008.

 

  3. Stock-Based CompensationNo options were granted to any of the named executives in 2008. The Company adopted FAS 123 in 2002 and has expensed all stock options from the implementation of our initial stock option plan. Because of changes in accounting rules effective in 2005 that require expensing of stock options, we believe that restricted stock awards, both time-vested and performance-vested, will be the preferred form of stock incentive for the future.

In 2007 Shareholders approved the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan which authorized the granting of up to 400,000 shares of Company stock in the form of options, stock grants, stock appreciation rights and other awards. The Committee approved restricted stock grants in 2007, but in light of general economic conditions and at the request of Mr. Shearin, none were awarded in 2008. Pursuant to this authorization, the Compensation Committee has developed metrics (same as annual bonus metrics above) and plans to make grants of restricted stock to the named executives in 2009. As discussed above the allocation between short-term and long-term and cash and non-cash compensation is determined by comparison to our named peer group. Consistent with the principle of pay for performance, one-half of the grants will vest if, and only if, either earnings per share or return on equity equals or exceeds the median of institutions in our peer group for the year ending December 31, 2011. The other half of the awards vest ratably (20% per year) over time of employment.

 

  4. Employment Agreements—Assuring the continued service of key executives is essential to the successful future of the organization. Employment agreements and management continuity agreements (which help retain key executives during a possible change of control situation) assist the Company by providing security to key executives. Base salary figures presented in the individual contracts below were determined by the executive’s base salary at the time that the contract was executed.

The Company and each of Joe A. Shearin, Joseph H. James, Ronald L. Blevins and James S. Thomas are parties to an employment agreement entered into as of January 1, 2008, March 4, 2008, March 4, 2008 and January 10, 2008, respectively. Mr. Shearin’s employment agreement provides for him to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer and President of EVB and provides for an initial base salary of $285,000. His employment agreement is for a rolling three-year term. Mr. James’s employment agreement provides for him to serve in an executive officer capacity and provides for an initial base salary of $139,100. Mr. Blevins’s employment agreement provides for him to serve in an executive officer capacity and provides for an initial base salary of $122,000. Mr. Thomas’s employment agreement provides for him to serve in an executive officer capacity at an initial base salary of $126,500. The board of directors, in its discretion, may increase the base salary of each of Messrs. Shearin, James, Blevins and Thomas. The employment agreements with Messrs. James, Blevins and Thomas currently terminate on December 31, 2009; however, each December 31, the term of their employment agreements will be renewed and extended by one year, unless notice of termination has been provided prior to such time.

Table of Contents

Each employment agreement may be terminated by the Company with or without cause. If the officer resigns for “good reason” or is terminated without “cause” (as those terms are defined in the employment agreement), however, he is entitled to receive a monthly payment equal to one-twelfth his rate of annual base salary in effect immediately preceding such termination for the remainder of the term of the agreement. If the officer’s employment terminates for good reason or without cause within one year of a change in control of us, he will be entitled to severance payments approximately equal to 299% of his annualized cash compensation for a period that precedes the change in control as determined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”).

Each agreement also contains a confidentiality provision without a time limit and a covenant not to compete that is in effect while the individual is an officer and employee and for a 12-month period after the termination of his employment.

Each executive who currently has an agreement with the Company has entered into a “consent” letter agreement by which he or she accepts the terms and conditions imposed as part of the Company’s participation in the Capital Purchase Program under TARP and further agrees to make any additional conforming amendments to his or her employment or change of control agreement. Conditions of this “consent” letter are discussed later in this section.

 

  5. Perquisites—We provide perquisites in the form of personal commuting use of a company car to the CEO and COO, having an aggregate value not exceeding $10,000. We do not provide perquisites to other listed executives that are not generally available to all employees on a nondiscriminatory basis.

 

  5. Supplemental Retirement Benefits—We think that a supplemental retirement plan plays an important role in providing “pension equity” and in retaining key executives. We intend for employees generally, including key executives, to receive a combined retirement benefit from Social Security, qualified retirement plans of the Company and, if necessary, supplemental nonqualified arrangements approximating 70% of their pre-retirement income. For that reason, effective January 1, 2008 we adopted a supplemental Executive Retirement Plan which currently covers Mr. Shearin as its only participant, as his retirement benefit from other sources is projected to fall short of the replacement target. The Plan provides for a benefit at age 67 of $155,000. Full vesting occurs only at age 67, with partial vesting of approximately 5% for each year of service after age 52. Benefits are payable monthly for 15 years. There is no pre-retirement death benefit, but a beneficiary can be named to receive the remaining payments for the 15-year period after benefits have commenced.

The Company elected to participate in the United States Department of the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, commonly known as “TARP”. The Company issued shares of its preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 373,832 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.63 per share to the Treasury in return for $24 million.

As a condition to participating in the program, we agreed to several limits on executive compensation. First, our senior executive officers, including Messrs. Shearin, Blevins, James and Thomas agreed to a limit on severance pay in the event of an involuntary termination of employment. Generally, the limit is three times the executive’s average W-2 compensation in the five calendar years that precede an involuntary termination. Second, our senior executive officers agreed to a “clawback”, which will require repayment of any bonus or incentive compensation if it is later proven that the payment was based on statements of earnings, gains or other criteria that were materially inaccurate.

We also agreed to exclude incentives for the senior executive officers to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the Company. Finally, we agreed not to claim any federal income tax deduction for compensation in any year in excess of $500,000 to any senior executive officer.

Before electing to participate in the program, we carefully considered the foregoing limits and concluded that they are not inconsistent with, and would not unduly interfere with, our compensation philosophy or our compensation plans and programs.

On February 17, 2009 President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, (“ARRA”) which imposes additional compensation restrictions on institutions that participate in the Capital Purchase Program. This law requires the Secretary of the Treasury to establish compensation standards, including the following:

 

   

Limits on compensation that exclude incentives for senior executive officers to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the institution;

 

   

Provisions for the recovery of any bonus, retention award or incentive compensation paid to a senior executive officer and any of the next 20 most highly compensated employees based on statements of earnings, revenues, gains or other criteria later found to be materially inaccurate; and

 

   

A prohibition on payments to a senior executive officer or any of the next five most highly compensated employees for departure from the institution for any reason, except payment for services performed or benefits accrued.

The first two of these required standards are substantially the same as those to which we and our senior executive officers agreed before we decided to participate in the Capital Purchase Program. The third standard goes well beyond the Capital Purchase Program requirements in that it completely prohibits most severance payments. This standard is inconsistent with our obligations to Messrs. Shearin, Blevins, James and Thomas under employment agreements.

Additionally, the ARRA requires the Secretary of the Treasury to prohibit certain bonuses, retention awards and incentive compensation. In our case the prohibition would apply to Mr. Shearin. It would limit such compensation to one-third of total annual compensation and it could be paid only in the form of restricted stock that does not vest until we have returned all Capital Purchase Program funds to the Treasury.

The Secretary of the Treasury has not issued regulations that implement these provisions of the ARRA. Consequently, it is premature for us to predict how this new law may force us to change our compensation plans and policies.

Conclusion—During 2009, we anticipate that the Committee, with assistance from independent consultants, will continue its ongoing administration and evaluation of our executive compensation approach consistent with our philosophy which aligns with our business plan.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the Compensation Committee is a current or former officer or employee of the Company or any of our subsidiaries. In addition, there are no compensation committee interlocks with other entities with respect to any such member. The CEO attends Committee meetings that discuss matters not directly related to the CEO, but is not a voting member of the Committee.

Compensation

The following table shows, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the total compensation paid by the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as certain other compensation paid or accrued for those years, to the “named executive officers” in all capacities in which they served:

Material terms of Plans that govern awards included in the summary compensation table, the relationship of salary and bonus to total compensation and material terms of certain employment agreements including post-termination payments are discussed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”.

Pension Benefits Table

The Company has a defined-benefit pension plan provided through the Virginia Bankers Association Insurance Trust. Benefits are based on an employee’s final five year average salary at the time of retirement, normally at age 65. All active, full-time employees of the Company and its subsidiaries were eligible to participate in the plan through December 31, 2007 at age 21 with one year of service. Employees do not contribute to the plan, and a participant becomes 100% vested upon completion of five years of service. Employees of predecessor Hanover Bank as well as EVB Investments, Inc. became eligible to participate in the Plan as of October 1, 2003. Directors who are full-time employees are eligible for participation. The Company filed an 8-K with the SEC on February 4, 2008 reporting that it had amended its Defined Benefit Pension Plan on January 28, 2008. Under the terms of the amended Plan, balances under the Plan were frozen on December 31, 2007 for all Plan participants except that participants who were then age 55 or greater or had at least 10 years of service with the Company on October 1, 2007 will remain in the existing Plan and will receive future contributions. Named executive Blevins will remain in the Plan while the balances for James, Thomas and Shearin were frozen as of December 31, 2007. The present value of the accumulated benefit as listed below was calculated by our pension actuary HRH Consulting (Hilb Rogal & Hobbs) based on the assumptions listed below:

 

  1. discount rate 6.25% per year

 

  2. R P 2000 mortality table

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Shown below are the estimated amounts which would have been payable under the four employment agreements in effect at December 31, 2008 if the executives had terminated (i) other than for cause and (ii) following a change of control as of December 31, 2008. Our employee contracts do not provide non-discriminatory benefits upon voluntary termination, death, disability or change in control other than that disclosed below. We do provide non-discriminatory life insurance benefits and provide disability coverage that employees can purchase at a group rate. Payment for termination without cause would be paid at the rate of one-twelfth ( 1/12) of base salary in each month for the remainder of the term of the agreement. If employment is terminated without cause or the employee resigns for good reason within one year after a change in control, the amount payable will be paid in a lump sum on or prior to the last day of employment or, at the employee’s option, in equal monthly installments for the remainder of the term of the agreement. Appropriate levels of employee agreement potential payments were based on an evaluation of what is appropriate in the community banking industry with particular focus on competitor banking companies in Virginia. Potential payments upon termination or change in control do not influence decisions regarding any element of compensation. There are material conditions and obligations applicable to payments upon termination or change in control as outlined under “Executive Compensation”. For additional information regarding employment agreements, see “Executive Compensation” above.

The severance and change in control payments discussed above will be limited by the statutes and regulations that apply to the Company as a consequence of the Company’s participation in TARP. These limitations will only apply so long as the Treasury’s investment in our preferred stock remains outstanding.

[TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS, PROMOTERS AND CERTAIN CONTROL PERSONS]

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Some of the directors and officers of the Company are at present, as in the past, customers of the Company, and the Company has had, and expects to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of its business with directors, officers, principal shareholders and their associates, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, on deposits and interest rates and collateral on loans, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with others. These transactions do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. The balance of loans to directors and executive officers of the Company and EVB totaled $11.3 million at December 31, 2008, or 14.5% of the Company’s equity capital at that date.

There were no other transactions during 2008 between the Company’s directors or officers and the Company, nor are there any proposed transactions in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000. Additionally, there are no legal proceedings to which any director, officer or principal shareholder, or any affiliate thereof are a party that is adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or involve a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Loans to related parties are approved by the EVB Board with the related party not present.

[CORPORATE GOVERNANCE]

Independence of the Directors

The Board of Directors has determined that the following 9 individuals of its 10 members are independent as defined by the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market: W. Rand Cook, F. L. Garrett, III, Ira C. Harris, Ph.D./CPA, F. Warren Haynie, Jr., William L. Lewis, Charles R. Revere, Howard R. Straughan, Jr., Leslie E. Taylor, CPA, and Jay T. Thompson, III. In reaching this conclusion, the Board considered that we and our subsidiary bank provide services to, and otherwise conduct business with, companies of which certain members of the Board or members of their immediate families are or were directors or officers.

Consistent with the Nasdaq listing standards, our Corporate Governance Guidelines establish categorical standards under which the Board views the following as impairing a director’s independence:

 

  1. a director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, our employee, or whose immediate family member is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer;

PART I

Company

First Capital Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Glen Allen, Virginia. We conduct our primary operations through our wholly-owned subsidiary, First Capital Bank, which opened for business in 1998.

We emphasize personalized service, access to decision makers and a quick turn around time on lending decisions. Our slogan is “Where People Matter.” We have a management team, officers and other employees with extensive experience in our primary market which is the Richmond, Virginia metropolitan area. We strive to develop personal, knowledgeable relationships with our customers, while at the same time offering products comparable to those offered by larger banks in our market area.

First Capital Bank operates seven full service branch offices (alternatively referred to herein as “branches” and “offices”), throughout the greater Richmond metropolitan area. Our bank engages in a general commercial banking business, with a particular focus on the needs of small and medium-sized businesses and their owners and key employees and the professional community.

We continued to experience growth in assets during 2008. As of December 31, 2008, we had assets of $431.6 million, a $79.7 million, or 22.7%, increase from December 31, 2007. The severe economic conditions in the real estate market in 2008 significantly affected our profitability as we made significant additions to our allowance for loan losses during the year. For 2008, our net income was $170 thousand compared to net income for 2007 of $1.7 million. Our earnings per diluted share for 2008 were $0.06 compared to $0.71 and $0.83 for 2007 and 2006, respectively. The continued deterioration of the real estate market, unemployment and the difficulties of the financial sector will continue to adversely affect our profitability.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

First Capital Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company that was incorporated under Virginia law in 2006. Pursuant to a statutory share exchange that was effective on September 8, 2006, we became a bank holding company. We conduct our primary operations through our wholly owned subsidiary, First Capital Bank, which is chartered under Virginia law. We have one other wholly owned subsidiary, FCRV Statutory Trust 1, which is a Delaware Business Trust that we formed in connection with the issuance of trust preferred debt in September, 2006.

Our principal executive offices are located at 4222 Cox Road, Suite 200, Glen Allen, Virginia 23060, and our telephone number is (804) 273-1160. We maintain a website at www.1capitalbank.com.

First Capital Bank, a Virginia banking corporation headquartered in Glen Allen, Virginia, was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as a state-chartered bank in 1997. The bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and began banking operations in late 1998. The bank is a community oriented financial institution that offers a full range of banking and related financial services to small and medium-sized businesses, professionals and individuals located in its market area. This market area consists of the Richmond, Virginia metropolitan area, with a current emphasis on western Henrico County, Chesterfield County, the City of Richmond, the Town of Ashland, and the surrounding vicinity. The bank’s goal is to provide its customers with high quality, responsive and technologically advanced banking services. In addition, the bank strives to develop personal, knowledgeable relationships with its customers, while at the same time it offers products comparable to those offered by larger banks in its market area. We believe that the marketing of customized banking services has enabled the bank to establish a niche in the financial services marketplace in the Richmond metropolitan area.

The bank currently conducts business from its executive offices and seven branch locations. See “Item 2 – Description of Property”.

Products and Services

We offer a full range of deposit services that are typically available in most banks including checking accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts and other time deposits of various types, ranging from daily money market accounts to longer-term certificates of deposit. The transaction accounts and time certificates are tailored to our market area at rates competitive to those offered in the area. In addition, we offer certain retirement account services, such as Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs).

We also offer 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 include secured (and unsecured loans) for financing automobiles, home improvements, education and personal investments. Additionally, we originate fixed and floating-rate mortgage and real estate construction and acquisition loans.

Other services we offer include safe deposit boxes, certain cash management services, traveler’s checks, direct deposit of payroll and social security checks and automatic drafts for various accounts, selected on-line banking services and a small and medium-sized businesses courier service. We also have become associated with a shared network of automated teller machines (ATMs) that may be used by our customers throughout Virginia and other states located in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Our Market Area

Our primary market is the Richmond, Virginia metropolitan area, which includes Chesterfield County, Henrico County, Hanover County, the Town of Ashland and the City of Richmond. Richmond is the capital of Virginia. All of our branches are located in the Richmond metropolitan area. The Richmond metropolitan area is the third-largest metropolitan area in Virginia and is one of the state’s top growth markets based on population and median household income.

Our market area has been subject to large scale consolidation of local banks, primarily by larger, out-of-state financial institutions. We believe that there is a large customer base in our market area that prefers doing business with a local institution. We seek to fill this banking need by offering timely personalized service, while making it more convenient by continuing to build our branch network throughout the Richmond metropolitan area where our customers live and work. To that end, in 2002, we initiated a branching strategy to better ensure that our branch network covers more of the markets in which our customers live and conduct business. We have made significant investments in our infrastructure and believe our current operating platform is sufficient to support a substantially larger banking institution without incurring meaningful additional expenses.

Employees

As of March 25, 2009, we had a total of 77 full time equivalent employees. We consider relations with our employees to be excellent. Our employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit.

Economy

The current economic recession, which economists suggest began in late 2007, became a major recognizable force in the late summer or early fall of 2008 in the United States and locally. Since then,

Table of Contents

the stock markets have dropped sharply, foreclosures have increased dramatically, unemployment has risen significantly, the capital and liquidity of financial institutions have been severely challenged and credit markets have been greatly reduced. In the U.S., the government has provided support for financial institutions in order to strengthen capital, increase liquidity and ease the credit markets.

Competition

We compete as a financial intermediary with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market mutual funds and other financial institutions operating in the Richmond metropolitan area and elsewhere. Many of our non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive federal regulations that govern federally-insured banks and state regulations governing state chartered banks. As a result, such non-bank competitors may have certain advantages over us in providing certain services.

Our primary market area is a highly competitive, highly branched banking market. Competition in the market area for loans to small and medium-sized businesses and professionals is intense, and pricing is important. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits than us and offer certain services, such as extensive and established branch networks, that we are not currently providing. Moreover, larger institutions operating in the Richmond metropolitan area have access to borrowed funds at lower cost than the funds that are presently available to us. Deposit competition among institutions in the market area also is strong. Competition for depositors’ funds comes from U.S. Government securities, private issuers of debt obligations and suppliers of other investment alternatives for depositors, among other sources.

Governmental Monetary Policies

Our earnings and growth are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the monetary policies of various governmental regulatory authorities, particularly the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”). The FRB implements national monetary policy by its open market operations in United States Government securities, control of the discount rate and establishment of reserve requirements against both member and nonmember financial institutions’ deposits. These actions have a significant effect on the overall growth and distribution of loans, investments and deposits, as well as the rates earned on loans, or paid on deposits.

Our management is unable to predict the effect of possible changes in monetary policies upon our future operating results.

Lending Activities

Credit Policies

The principal risk associated with each of the categories of loans in our portfolio is the creditworthiness of our borrowers. Within each category, such risk is increased or decreased, depending on various factors. The risks associated with real estate mortgage loans, commercial loans and consumer loans vary based on employment levels, consumer confidence, fluctuations in the value of real estate and other conditions that affect the ability of borrowers to repay indebtedness. The risk associated with real estate construction loans varies based on the supply and demand for the type of real estate under construction. In an effort to manage these risks, we have loan amount approval limits for individual loan officers based on their position and level of experience.

 

6


Table of Contents

We have written policies and procedures to help manage credit risk. We use a loan review process that includes a portfolio management strategy, guidelines for underwriting standards and risk assessment, procedures for ongoing identification and management of credit deterioration, and annual independent third party portfolio reviews to establish loss exposure and to monitor compliance with policies. Our loan approval process includes our Management Loan Committee, the Loan Committee of the Board of Directors and, for larger loans, the Board of Directors. Our Senior Credit Officer is responsible for reporting to the Directors monthly on the activities of the Management Loan Committee and on the status of various delinquent and non-performing loans. The Loan Committee of the Board of Directors also reviews lending policies proposed by management. Our Board of Directors establishes our total lending limit and approves proposed lending policies approved by the Loan Committee of the Board.

Loan Originations

Real estate loan originations come primarily through direct solicitations by our loan officers, continued business from current customers, and through referrals. Construction loans are obtained by solicitations of our construction loan officers and continued business from current customers. Commercial real estate loan originations are obtained through broker referrals, direct solicitation by our loan officers and continued business from current customers. We may also purchase loan participations from other community banks in Virginia.

Our loan officers, as part of the application process, review all loan applications. 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 available for debt service. Loan quality is analyzed based on our experience and credit underwriting guidelines. Real estate collateral for loans in excess of $250 thousand are appraised by independent appraisers who have been pre-approved by meeting the requirement of providing a current and valid license certification and based on the lender’s experience with these appraisers. Evaluations for real estate collateral for loans less than $250 thousand are made by the loan officer.

In the normal course of business, we make various commitments and incur certain contingent liabilities that are disclosed but not reflected in our annual financial statements including commitments to extend credit. At December 31, 2008, commitments to extend credit totaled $112.6 million.

Construction Lending

We make local construction and land acquisition and development loans. Residential houses and commercial real estate under construction and the underlying land secure construction loans. At December 31, 2008, construction, land acquisition and land development loans outstanding were $86.5 million, or 23.2% of total loans. These loans are concentrated in our local markets. The average life of a construction loan is less than one year. Because the interest rate charged on these loans usually floats with the market, these loans assist us in managing our interest rate risk. 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. In addition, the value of the building under construction is only estimable when the loan funds are disbursed. Thus, it is more difficult to evaluate accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project and related loan-to-value ratios. To mitigate the risks associated with construction lending, we generally limit loan amounts to 80% of appraised value in addition to analyzing the creditworthiness of the borrowers. We also obtain a first lien on the property as security for construction loans and typically require personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners.

Table of Contents

Commercial Business Loans

Commercial business loans generally have a higher degree of risk than loans secured by real property but have higher yields. To manage these risks, we generally obtain appropriate collateral and personal guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners and monitor the financial condition of its business borrowers. Residential mortgage loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from employment and other income and are secured by real estate whose value tends to be readily 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 is substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Furthermore, the collateral for commercial business loans may depreciate over time and generally cannot be appraised with as much precision as residential real estate. We have a loan review and monitoring process to regularly assess the repayment ability of commercial borrowers. At December 31, 2008, commercial loans totaled $51.1 million, or 13.7% of the total loan portfolio.

Commercial Real Estate Lending

Commercial real estate loans are secured by various types of commercial real estate in our market area including commercial buildings and offices, recreational facilities, small shopping centers, churches and hotels. At December 31, 2008, commercial real estate loans totaled $106.8 million, or 28.7% of our total loans. We may lend up to 80% of the secured property’s appraised value. Commercial real estate lending entails significant additional risk, compared with residential mortgage lending. Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Additionally, the payment experience on loans secured by income producing properties is typically dependent on the successful operation of a business or a real estate project and thus may be subject, to a greater extent, to adverse conditions in the real estate market or in the economic environment. Our commercial real estate loan underwriting criteria requires an examination of debt service coverage ratios, the borrower’s creditworthiness and prior credit history and reputation, and we typically require personal guarantees or endorsements of the borrowers’ principal owners. In addition, we carefully evaluate the location of the security property.

Residential Real Estate Lending

Residential real estate loans at December 31, 2008, accounts for $122.6 million, or 32.9% of our total loan portfolio. Residential first mortgage loans represent $68.9 million or 56.2% of total residential real estate loans. Land loans represent $25.2 million or 20.6% of total residential real estate loans. Multifamily and home equity loans represent $6.2 million and $15.4 million, respectively, and junior liens account for $6.8 million of total residential real estate loans.

All residential mortgage loans originated by us contain a “due-on-sale” clause providing that we may declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon sale or transfer of the mortgaged premises. In connection with residential real estate loans, we require title insurance, hazard insurance and if required, flood insurance. We do not require escrows for real estate taxes and insurance.

Consumer Lending

We offer various secured and unsecured consumer loans, including unsecured personal loans and lines of credit, automobile loans, boat loans, deposit account loans, installment and demand loans and

 

8


Table of Contents

credit cards. At December 31, 2008, we had consumer loans of $5.6 million or 1.5% of total loans. Such loans are generally made to customers with whom we have a pre-existing relationship. We currently originate all of our consumer loans in our market area.

Consumer loans may entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured, such as loans secured by rapidly depreciable assets such as automobiles. Any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. Due to the relatively small amounts involved, any 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.

The underwriting standards we employ to mitigate the risk for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and an assessment of their ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. The stability of the applicant’s monthly income may be determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary employment and from any verifiable secondary income. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes an analysis of the value of the security in relation to the proposed loan amount.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

General

As a bank holding company, we are 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 FRB. As a state-chartered commercial bank, First Capital Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Virginia State Corporation Commission’s Bureau of Financial Institutions (the “BFI”). It is also subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the FRB. 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 us and our subsidiary. 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.

First Capital Bancorp, Inc.

Bank Holding Company Act. As a bank holding company, we are subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHC Act”), and we are registered as such with, and are subject to examination by, the FRB. Pursuant to the BHC Act, we are subject to limitations on the kinds of business in which we can engage directly or through subsidiaries. We are permitted to manage or control banks. Generally, however, we are prohibited, with certain exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than five percent of any class of voting shares of an entity engaged in non-banking activities, unless the FRB finds such activities to be “so closely related to banking” as to be deemed “a proper incident thereto” within the meaning of the BHC Act. 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

 

9


Table of Contents
   

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

Bank acquisitions by bank holding companies are also regulated. A bank holding company may not acquire more than five percent of the voting shares of another bank without prior approval of the FRB. The BHC Act subjects bank holding companies to minimum capital requirements. Regulations and policies of the FRB also require a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. The FRB’s policy is that a bank holding company should stand ready to use available resources for assisting a subsidiary bank. Under certain conditions, the FRB may conclude that certain actions of a bank holding company, such as a payment of a cash dividend, would constitute an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Some of the activities that the FRB has determined by regulation to be proper incidents 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. The only activity in which we are engaged is the operation of First Capital Bank. We have no present intention to engage in any other permitted activities. However, we may determine to engage in additional activities if it is deemed to be in our best interests.

With some limited exceptions, the BHC Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the FRB 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 BHC Act and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with their regulations, require FRB 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 rebuttably presumed to exist if a person acquires 10% or more, but less than 25%, of any class of voting securities and either 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.

Financial Holding Companies and Financial Activities. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act established a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies, securities firms, and other financial service providers by revising and expanding the BHC Act framework to permit a holding company system to engage in a full range of financial activities through qualification as a new entity known as a financial holding company. We have not determined whether to become a financial holding company, but we may consider such a conversion in the future if it appears to be in our best interest.

Dividends. No Virginia corporation may make any distribution to stockholders if, after giving it effect, (i) the corporation would not be able to pay its existing and reasonably foreseeable debts, liabilities and obligations, whether or not liquidated, matured, asserted or contingent, as they become due in the usual course of business; or (ii) the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus, the amount that would be needed if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.

Table of Contents

In a policy statement, the FRB has advised bank holding companies that it believes that payment of cash dividends in excess of current earnings from operations is inappropriate and may be cause for supervisory action. As a result of this policy, banks and their holding companies may find it difficult to pay dividends out of retained earnings from historical periods prior to the most recent fiscal year or to take advantage of earnings generated by extraordinary items such as sales of buildings or other large assets in order to generate profits to enable payment of future dividends.

The primary source of funds for payment of dividends by us to our stockholders will be the receipt of dividends and interest from First Capital Bank. Our ability to receive dividends from First Capital Bank will be limited by applicable law. The power of the board of directors of an insured depository institution to declare a cash dividend or other distribution with respect to capital is subject to statutory and regulatory restrictions which limit the amount available for such distribution, depending upon the earnings, financial condition and cash needs of the institution, as well as general business conditions. Federal law prohibits insured depository institutions from making capital distributions, including dividends, if after such transaction, the institution would be undercapitalized. A bank is undercapitalized for this purpose if its leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio are not at least 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively. See “Regulatory Capital Requirements” below.

The FRB has authority to prohibit a bank holding company from engaging in practices which are considered to be unsafe and unsound. Depending upon the financial condition of First Capital Bank and upon other factors, the FRB could determine that the payment of dividends or other payments by us or First Capital Bank might constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Finally, any dividend that would cause a bank to fall below required capital levels could also be prohibited.

Regulatory Capital Requirements. State banks and bank holding companies are required to maintain a minimum risk capital ratio of 10% (at least 5% in the form of Tier 1 capital) of risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheets items. Tier 1 capital consists of common equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interest in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries and excludes goodwill. Tier 2 capital consists of cumulative perpetual preferred stock, limited-life preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and (subject to a limit of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets) general loan loss reserves. In calculating the relevant ratio, a bank’s assets and off-balance sheet commitments are risk-weighted: thus, for example, most commercial loans are included at 100% of their book value while assets considered less risky are included at a percentage of their book value (e.g., 20% for interbank obligations and 0% for vault cash and U.S. treasury securities).

We are subject to leverage ratio guidelines as well. The leverage ratio guidelines require maintenance of a minimum ratio of 3% Tier 1 capital to total assets for the most highly rated organizations. Institutions that are less highly rated, anticipating significant growth or subject to other significant risks will be required to maintain capital levels ranging from 1% to 2% above the 3% minimum.

Recent federal regulation established five tiers of capital measurement ranging from “well capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized.” Federal bank regulatory authorities are required to take prompt corrective action with respect to inadequately capitalized banks. If a bank does not meet the minimum capital requirement set by its regulators, the regulators are compelled to take certain actions, which may include prohibition on payment of dividends to its holding company or requiring the adoption of a capital restoration plan which must be guaranteed by the bank’s holding company.

Cross-Institution Assessments. Any insured depository institution owned by us can be assessed for losses incurred by the FDIC in connection with assistance provided to, or the failure of, any other depository institution owned by us.

First Capital Bank

First Capital Bank is subject to various state and federal banking laws and regulations that impose specific requirements or restrictions on and provide for general regulatory oversight with respect to virtually all aspects of its operations. The following is a brief summary of the material provisions of certain statutes, rules and regulations that affect First Capital Bank. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions referred to below.

General. First Capital Bank is under the supervision of, and subject to regulation and examination by, the BFI and FRB. As such, First Capital Bank is subject to various statutes and regulations administered by these agencies that govern, among other things, required reserves, investments, loans, lending limits, acquisitions of fixed assets, interest rates payable on deposits, transactions among affiliates and First Capital Bank, the payment of dividends, mergers and consolidations, and establishment of branch offices. As noted previously, First Capital Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System. As such, the FRB, as the primary federal regulator of First Capital Bank, has the authority to impose penalties, initiate civil and administrative actions, and take other steps to prevent First Capital Bank from engaging in unsafe and unsound practices.

Mergers and Acquisitions. Under federal law, previously existing restrictions on interstate bank acquisitions were abolished effective September 29, 1995, and since such date bank holding companies from any state have been able to acquire banks and bank holding companies located in any other state. Effective June 1, 1997, the law allows banks to merge across state lines, subject to earlier “opt-in” or “opt-out” action by individual states. The law also allows interstate branch acquisitions and de novo branching if permitted by the “host state.” Effective July 1, 1995, Virginia adopted early “opt-in” legislation which permits interstate bank mergers. Virginia law also permits interstate branch acquisitions and de novo branching if reciprocal treatment is accorded Virginia banks in the state of the acquirer.

Although the above laws had the potential to have a significant impact on the banking industry, it is not possible for our management to determine, with any degree of certainty, the impact such laws have had on First Capital Bank.

Financial Services Legislation. On November 1, 1999, then President Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “GLB Act”). The GLB Act implemented fundamental changes in the regulation of the financial services industry in the United States, further transforming the already converging banking, insurance and securities industries by permitting further mergers and affiliations which will combine commercial banks, insurers and securities firms under one holding company. Many of these changes are discussed above.

The provisions of the GLB Act have had a significant impact on the banking industry in general. However, it is not possible for us to determine, with any degree of certainty at this time, the impact that such provisions have had on First Capital Bank and its operations.

Dividends. The amount of dividends payable by First Capital Bank depends upon its earnings and capital position, and is limited by federal and state law, regulations and policy. In addition, Virginia law imposes restrictions on the ability of all banks chartered under Virginia law to pay dividends. Under such law, no dividend may be declared or paid that would impair a bank’s paid-in capital. Each of the BFI and the FDIC have the general authority to limit dividends paid by First Capital Bank if such

 

12


Table of Contents

payments are deemed to constitute an unsafe and unsound practice. In particular, Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) would prohibit First Capital Bank from making a dividend if it were “undercapitalized” or if such dividend would result in the institution becoming “undercapitalized.”

Under current supervisory practice, prior approval of the FRB is required if cash dividends declared in any given year exceed the total of First Capital Bank’s net profits for such year, plus its retained profits for the preceding two years. In addition, First Capital Bank may not pay a dividend in an amount greater than its undivided profits then on hand after deducting current losses and bad debts. Federal law further provides that no insured depository institution may make any capital distribution (which would include a cash dividend) if, after making the distribution, the institution would not satisfy one or more of its minimum capital requirements.

Insurance of Accounts, Assessments and Regulation by the FDIC

The deposits of the bank are insured by the FDIC up to the limits set forth under applicable law. The deposits of First Capital Bank are subject to the deposit insurance assessments of the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC.

The FDIC recently amended its risk-based deposit assessment system for 2007 to implement authority granted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005. Under the revised system, insured institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other factors. An institution’s assessment rate depends upon the category to which it is assigned. Risk Category I, which contains the least risky depository institutions, is expected to include more than 90% of all institutions. Unlike the other categories, Risk Category I contains further risk differentiation based on the FDIC’s analysis of financial ratios, examination component ratings and other information. Assessment rates are determined by the FDIC and currently range from five to seven basis points for the healthiest institutions (Risk Category I) to 43 basis points of assessable deposits for the riskiest (Risk Category IV). The FDIC may adjust rates uniformly from one quarter to the next, except that no single adjustment can exceed three basis points.

The FDIC is authorized to prohibit any insured institution from engaging in any activity that the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious threat to the Deposit Insurance Fund. Also, the FDIC may initiate enforcement actions against a bank, 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. We are not aware of any existing circumstances that could result in termination of any of First Capital Bank’s deposit insurance.

Capital Requirements. The various federal bank regulatory agencies, including the FRB, have adopted risk-based capital requirements for assessing the capital adequacy of banks and bank holding companies. Virginia chartered banks must also satisfy the capital requirements adopted by the BFI. The federal capital standards define capital and establish minimum capital requirements in relation to assets and off-balance sheet exposure, as adjusted for credit risk. The risk-based capital standards currently in effect are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile among bank holding companies and banks, to account for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate risk weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items.

 

13


Table of Contents

The minimum requirement for the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet obligations, such as stand-by letters of credit) is 8%. At least half of the risk-based capital must consist of common equity, retained earnings and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, less deductions for goodwill and various other tangibles (“Tier 1 capital”). Tier 2 capital includes the hybrid capital instruments and other debt securities, preferred stock and a limited amount of the general valuation allowance for loan losses. The sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital is “total risk-based capital.”

The FRB also has adopted regulations which supplement the risk-based guidelines to include a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to quarterly average assets (“Leverage Ratio”) of 3%. The FRB has emphasized that the foregoing standards are supervisory minimums and that a banking organization will be permitted to maintain such minimum levels of capital only if it receives the highest rating under the regulatory rating system and the banking organization is not experiencing or anticipating significant growth. All other banking organizations are required to maintain a Leverage Ratio of at least 4% to 5% of Tier 1 capital. These rules further provide that banking organizations experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels and comparable to peer group averages, without significant reliance on intangible assets. The FRB continues to consider tangible Tier 1 Leverage Ratio as the ratio of a banking organization’s Tier 1 capital, less deductions for intangibles otherwise includable in Tier 1 capital, to total tangible assets.

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council establishes the guidelines which banks follow in preparing their quarterly Reports of Condition and Income (“Call Report”) which are filed with their supervisory agency. The guidelines in most respects follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) in presenting the financial condition of each institution. An exception exists in the manner that recognition of deferred tax asset balances are treated for the purpose of calculating capital adequacy. In preparing the Call Report schedules dealing with regulatory capital, an institution can recognize only that portion of its deferred tax asset balance which equates to projected earnings for the ensuing 12 month period. Any amount in excess of that is disallowed when calculating the institution’s capital ratios. All capital ratios reported by First Capital Bank following recognition of its deferred tax asset balance at June 30, 2003, will be in accordance with the Regulatory Accounting Principles (“RAP”) noted above. All other financial statements presented by the Bank, including all other Call Report presentations, will be in accordance with GAAP.

Section 38 of the FDIA, as amended by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”), requires that the federal banking agencies establish five capital levels for insured depository institutions – “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized” – and requires or permits such agencies to take certain supervisory actions as an insured institution’s capital level falls.

As of December 31, 2008, we and First Capital Bank both exceeded all capital requirements under all applicable regulations.

Safety and Soundness. The federal banking agencies have broad powers under current federal law to take prompt corrective action to resolve problems of insured depository institutions. The extent of these powers depends upon whether the institutions in question are “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized,” or “critically undercapitalized,” all such terms are defined under uniform regulations defining such capital levels issued by each of the federal banking agencies.

Table of Contents

On December 19, 1991, FDICIA was enacted into law. FDICIA requires each federal banking regulatory agency to prescribe, by regulation or guideline, standards for all insured depository institutions and depository institution holding companies relating to: (i) internal controls, information systems and audit systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii) credit underwriting; (iv) interest rate risk exposure; (v) asset growth; (vi) compensation, fees and benefits; and (vii) such other operational and managerial standards as the agency determines to be appropriate. On July 10, 1995, the federal banking agencies, including the FRB, adopted final rules and proposed guidelines concerning standards for safety and soundness required to be prescribed by regulation pursuant to Section 39 of the FDIA. In general, the standards relate to (1) operational and managerial matters; (2) asset quality and earnings; and (3) compensation. The operational and managerial standards cover (a) internal controls and information systems; (b) internal audit systems; (c) loan documentation; (d) credit underwriting; (e) interest rate exposure; (f) asset growth; and (g) compensation, fees and benefits.

Activities and Investments of Insured State-Chartered Banks. The activities and equity investments of FDIC-insured, state-chartered banks are generally limited to those that are permissible for national banks. Under regulations dealing with equity investments, an insured state bank generally may not directly or indirectly acquire or retain any equity investment of a type, or in an amount, that is not permissible for a national bank. An insured state bank is not prohibited from, among other things, (i) acquiring or retaining a majority interest in a subsidiary; (ii) investing as a limited partner in a partnership the sole purpose of which is direct or indirect investment in the acquisition, rehabilitation or new construction of a qualified housing project, provided that such limited partnership investments may not exceed 2% of the bank’s total assets; (iii) acquiring up to 10% of the voting stock of a company that solely provides or reinsures directors’, trustees’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage or bankers’ blanket bond group insurance coverage for insured depository institutions; and (iv) acquiring or retaining the voting shares of a depository institution if certain requirements are met. In addition, an insured state-chartered bank may not, directly, or indirectly through a subsidiary, engage as “principal” in any activity that is not permissible for a national bank unless the FDIC has determined that such activities would pose no risk to the insurance fund of which it is a member and the bank is in compliance with applicable regulatory capital requirements. Any insured state-chartered bank directly or indirectly engaged in any activity that is not permitted for a national bank must cease the impermissible activity. The scope of permissible activities available to FDIC-insured, state chartered banks may be expanded by the recently enacted financial services legislation. See “Supervision and Regulation – First Capital Bank – Financial Services Legislation.”

Regulatory Enforcement Authority. Applicable banking laws include substantial enforcement powers available to federal banking regulators. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil monetary penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions against banking organizations and institution-affiliated parties, as defined. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with regulatory authorities.

Monetary Policy

The commercial banking business is affected not only by general economic conditions but also by the monetary policies of the FRB. The instruments of monetary policy employed by the FRB 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 FRB’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

 

15


Table of Contents

national and international economy and in the money markets, as well as the effect of actions by monetary fiscal authorities, including the FRB, 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 non-personal 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 non-personal time deposits at an institution. For net transaction accounts in 2007, the first $7.8 million, the same amount as in 2006, will be exempt from reserve requirements. A 3% reserve ratio will be assessed on net transaction accounts over $7.8 million up to and including $40.5 million, also the same amount as in 2006. A 10% reserve ratio will be applied above $40.5 million. These percentages are subject to adjustment by the FRB. 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:

 

   

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

 

   

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 other similar 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 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 GLB 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 regulatory. A bank holding company will not be permitted to become a financial holding company and no new activities authorized under the GLB Act 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. First Capital Bank received a “satisfactory” rating during its latest 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.

USA Patriot Act of 2001

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

Legislation

On October 3, 2008, the FDIC’s deposit insurance temporarily increased from $100 thousand to $250 thousand per depositor. Checking, savings, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and other interest-bearing deposit accounts, when combined, are now FDIC insured up to $250 thousand per depositor through December 31, 2009. Joint accounts may be insured up to $250 thousand per owner in addition to the $250 thousand of insurance available on those same owner’s individual accounts. On January 1, 2010, the standard coverage limit is scheduled to return to $100 thousand for all deposit categories except IRAs and certain retirement accounts mentioned above, which will continue to be insured up to $250 thousand per owner.

On October 14, 2008, the FDIC announced the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program to strengthen confidence and increase liquidity in the banking system. The new program guarantees newly issued senior unsecured debt of eligible institutions and provides full deposit insurance coverage for non-interest bearing transaction accounts in FDIC-insured institutions, regardless of the dollar amount, for participating entities. The Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program has two primary components: the Debt Guarantee Program (FDIC will guarantee the payment of certain newly issued senior unsecured debt), and the Transaction Account Guarantee Program (the FDIC will guarantee certain noninterest-bearing transaction accounts).

Effective January 1, 2009, the FDIC increased assessment rates uniformly by 7 basis points (annual rate) for the first quarter 2009 assessment period only. The FDIC will issue another final rule early in 2009, effective April 1, 2009, to change the way the FDIC’s assessment system differentiates for risk, make corresponding changes to assessment rates beginning with the second quarter of 2009, and make certain technical and other changes to the assessment rules. These increases in insurance premiums are estimated to increase the Company’s pretax noninterest expense by an additional $1.1 million for 2009.

First Capital Bank is participating in the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program and the Debt Guarantee Program. Under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program, through December 31, 2009, all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account. Coverage under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program is in addition to and separate from the coverage available under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules. The Company is assessed a 10 basis points fee (annualized) on the balance of each covered account in excess of $250 thousand. The Company does not expect this cost to be material.

New regulations and statutes are regularly proposed that contain wide-ranging proposals that may or will alter the structures, regulations, and competitive relationships of the nation’s financial institutions. The Company cannot predict whether or in what form any proposed regulation or statute will be adopted or the extent to which the Company’s business may be affected by any new regulation or statute.

Recent Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives to Address Financial and Economic Crises

Congress, Treasury, and the federal banking regulators, including the FDIC, have taken broad measures since early September 2008 to address the turmoil in the U. S. banking system.

On October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) was enacted. EESA authorizes the Treasury to purchase from financial institutions and their holding companies up to $700 billion in mortgage loans, mortgage-related securities and certain other financial instruments, including debt and equity securities issued by financial institutions and their holding companies in the TARP.

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”), establishing more limits on executive compensation for all current and future TARP recipients. The ARRA limits do not repeal or replace the rules discussed above but supplement the guidance issued by the Treasury. Under the ARRA, any TARP participant may not pay any bonus, retention award or incentive compensation to its five most highly paid executives, except for payments of long term restricted stock, the awards of which do not vest while the Preferred Stock is outstanding and do not have a value greater than one-third of the officer’s total annual compensation, unless the payments are required pursuant to a written agreement executed prior to February 11, 2009. In addition, the ARRA requires the Treasury to review bonuses, retention awards and other compensation paid to a TARP participant’s five most highly-compensated officers and the next 20 most highly compensated employees to determine if the payments were excessive or inconsistent with the purpose of the ARRA or TARP or were otherwise contrary to the public interest. If so, the Treasury is directed to negotiate the return of any such amounts to the government.

The purpose of TARP is to restore confidence and stability to the U. S. banking system and to encourage financial institutions to increase their lending to customers and to each other. The Treasury has allocated $250 billion to the TARP Capital Purchase Program (“CCP”). TARP also includes direct purchases or guarantees of troubled assets of financial institutions. Participants in the CPP are subject to certain executive compensation limits and are encouraged to expand their lending and mortgage loan modifications. Under CPP, the Treasury will purchase debt or equity securities from participating institutions. EESA also increased FDIC deposit insurance on most accounts from $100 thousand to $250 thousand. This increase is in place until the end of 2009 and is not covered by deposit insurance premiums paid by the banking industry.

Future Regulatory Uncertainty

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 may change in the future and impact 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.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion provides information about the results of operations and financial condition, liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements.

Overview

We are headquartered in Glen Allen, Virginia and conduct our primary operations through our wholly owned subsidiary, First Capital Bank (the “Bank”). Through its seven full service branch offices and courier service, the bank serves the greater Richmond metropolitan area which includes the counties of Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover, the Town of Ashland and the City of Richmond, Virginia. We target small to medium-sized businesses and consumers in our market area and emerging suburbs outside of the greater Richmond metropolitan area. In addition, we strive to develop personal, knowledgeable relationships with our customers, while at the same time offering products comparable to statewide regional banks located in its market area. We believe that the marketing of customized banking services has enabled us to establish a niche in the financial services marketplace in the Richmond Metropolitan Area.

Nationwide in 2008, concerns over asset quality, precipitated by issues related to slowing real estate activity, declining real estate values, turbulence in the financial sector, decline in interest rates, the current regulatory environment and general economic conditions resulted in significant declines in financial results. The impact of these concerns is reflected in the economic markets in which the Company operates, principally through slowing real estate activity, declining real estate values and asset quality concerns. Residential acquisition and development lending and builder/construction lending have been significantly scaled back as housing activity across our markets has declined. As a result, the Company significantly increased its provision for loan losses to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $676 thousand for the same period in 2007. The allowance for loan losses increased to $5.1 million as of December 31, 2008 or 1.36 % of total loans compared to .84% at the end of the same period last year. Net charge-offs increased significantly from $20 thousand for the year 2007 to $353 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2008. Nonperforming assets also increased drastically from $50 thousand as of December 31, 2007 or .02% of assets to $6.6 million as of December 31, 2008 or 1.52% of assets.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, assets grew $79.7 million to $431.6 million or 22.6% from $351.9 million at December 31, 2007. 85% of the asset growth occurred in the first nine months of 2008. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, our total assets increased $94.6 million or 36.8% to $351.9 million at December 31, 2007 from $257.2 million at December 31, 2006.

Total net loans at December 31, 2008 were $367.4 million, an increase of $73.2 million, or 24.9%, from the December 31, 2007 amount of $294.2 million. Total net loans at December 31, 2007 were $294.2 million, an increase of $94.5 million, or 47.3%, from the December 31, 2006 amount of $199.8 million.

Deposits increased $79.2 million to $334.3 million at December 31, 2008 from $255.1 million at December 31, 2007. Certificates of deposit increased $93.2 million or 58.6% to $252.1 million and represented 75.4% of deposits, up from 62.3% at December 31, 2007. Money market accounts and NOW accounts decreased $12.0 million or 20.1% during 2008 and represented 14.3% of deposits down from 23.4% at December 31, 2007. Deposits increased $60.8 million to $255.1 million at December 31, 2007

from the balance at December 31, 2006. Certificates of deposit increased $37.4 million or 30.8% and represent 62.3% of deposits with maturities ranging from six months to five years. Money market accounts and NOW accounts increased $19.7 million or 49.4% with the continued success of the Capital Reserve Account which has a variable rate tied to the stated Fed funds rate. Low cost demand deposits increased 11.1% or $3.7 million to $36.5 million at December 31, 2007.

Net interest margin decreased in 2008 from 3.54% for the year ended December 31, 2007 to 2.89% at December 31, 2008. The net interest margin was 3.41% for the same period in 2006. The decrease in the net interest margin is attributed to steady reduction in interest rates over the last two years. Over the twenty-four months ended December 31, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) cut the federal funds targeted rate and the associated prime rate on interest ten times or 500 basis points from 8.25% on January 1, 2007 to 3.25% on December 31, 2008. For the period January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008, the FOMC cut the targeted federal funds rate and the associated prime rate seven times or 400 basis points from 7.25% on January 1, 2008 to 3.25% on December 31, 2008.

Total non-interest expense increased 17.9% or $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Additions to staff to support business development and retail branching contributed to the increase in salaries and employee benefits. Occupancy and depreciation expense increased as the result of the opening of the new Bon Air branch in the second quarter of 2008. The FDIC assessment increase as the result of a revised premium structure but primarily from the increase in deposits during the period. The Virginia capital stock tax increased as the result of increased investment in First Capital Bank by First Capital Bancorp, Inc. during 2008.

We remain well capitalized with capital ratios above the regulatory minimums. As we enter 2009 however, the financial sector remains in turmoil. Pressure continues on the net interest margin and asset quality continues to deteriorate.

Critical Accounting Policies

The financial condition and results of operations presented in the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements and this section are, to a large degree, dependent upon our accounting policies. The selection and applications of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.

First Capital Bank’s critical accounting policy relates to the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses which is based on management’s opinion of an amount that is adequate to absorb loss in the Bank’s existing portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan loss based on available information including the composition of the loan portfolio, historical loan losses (to the extent available due to limited history), specific impaired loans, availability and quality of the collateral, age of the various portfolios, changes in local economic conditions, and loan performance and quality of the portfolio. Different assumptions used in evaluating the adequacy of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses could result in material changes in its financial condition and results of operations. The Bank’s policies with respect to the methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses involve a high degree of complexity and require management to make subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about certain matters. This critical policy and its assumptions are periodically reviewed with the Bank’s Board of Directors.

The Bank evaluates various loans individually for impairment as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and SFAS

 

25


Table of Contents

No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan – Income Recognition and Disclosures. Loans evaluated individually for impairment include non-performing loans, loans past due by 30 days or more, 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 Bank 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 and general collateral type. A loss rate range reflecting the expected loss inherent in a group of loans is derived based upon estimates of default rates for a given collateral type, terms of the loan, borrower and industry concentrations, levels and trends in delinquencies and charge-off and recovery experience.

The amount of estimated impairment of individually evaluated loans and the range of estimated losses for groups of loans are added together for a total range of estimated loan losses. This range of estimated losses is compared to the allowance for loan losses of the Bank as of the evaluation date and, if the range of estimated losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be made. If the range of estimated losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the range of estimated losses is evaluated to determine whether a reduction to the allowance would be necessary. 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 consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

Net Income

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased to $170 thousand from $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Returns on equity and assets for the year ended December 31, 2008 were 0.49% and 0.04%, respectively, compared to 6.8% and 0.61% for the year ended December 31, 2007. Loan growth resulted in an increase in interest income as interest on loans increased $3.8 million to $22.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, down from a $5.1 million increase in 2007. Total interest expense was $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

For 2008, earnings per diluted share were $0.06 compared to $0.71 and $0.83 for 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Net Interest Income

We generate a significant amount of our income from the net interest income earned by the Bank. Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income depends on the amount of interest-earning assets outstanding during the period and the interest rates earned thereon. Interest expense is a function of the average amount of deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid thereon. The quality of the assets further influences the amount of interest income lost on non-accrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses.

Net interest income represents our principal source of earnings. Net interest income is the amount by which interest generated from earning assets exceeds the expense of funding those assets. Changes in volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as their respective yields and rates, have a significant impact on the level of net interest income.

Year ended December 31, 2008 compared to year ended December 31, 2007

Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased 12.8% to $11.0 million from $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Net interest income increased despite a 65 basis point decrease in the net interest margin from 3.54% for the year ended December 31, 2007 to 2.89% for the comparable period of 2008.

Average earning assets increased 38.5% to $382.6 million for 2008 from $276.3 million for 2007. Average loans, net of unearned income increased $103.4 million, or 44.2% for 2008 to $337.2 million. The average rate earned on net loans, decreased 128 basis points to 6.57% from 7.85% for the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in the average rate earned on net loans was the result of a 400 basis point decrease in the prime rate and other rates that track prime in 2008, to which approximately 40% of our loans are tied. The average balance in our securities portfolio decreased by $3.7 million primarily due to maturities and calls of securities of $24.0 million and repayments on mortgage backed securities of $2.1 million, offset by purchases of $24.9 million. The yield on the investment portfolio increased 31 basis points from 4.52% for the year ended December 31, 2007 to 4.83% for the year ended December 31, 2008. Other investments, which include FHLB Stock and Federal Reserve Stock increased on average $1.3 million while the yield decreased from 6.08% to 4.28% for the year ended December 31, 2008. As the result of these changes, total interest income increased $3.7 million, or 18.1% to $24.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $20.4 million for the comparable period of 2007.

Total interest expense on deposits increased $2.4 million to $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $10.6 million for the same period of 2007. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $81.5 million as the cost of deposits decreased 68 basis points. Average balance of certificates of deposit increased $87.6 million as the cost of certificates decreased 63 basis points to 4.52% for the year ended December 31, 2008. The FOMC cut the federal funds targeted rate and the associated prime rate on interest 400 basis points in 2008. A total of 175 basis points occurred in the fourth quarter of 2008 with a 75 basis point decreased occurring December 16, 2008. Although the vast majority of our time deposits are set to reprice in the next six to twelve months and will lower funding costs, this rapid reduction in rates put pressure on our net interest margin.

Asset Quality

Total non-performing assets, consisting of nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned, increased $6.5 million to $6.6 million at December 31, 2008. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans was 1.18% compared to 0.02% at year end 2007. Non-performing assets to total assets increased from 0.02% for 2007 to 1.52% for 2008. Non-performing assets consists of nonaccrual loans totaling $4.4 million which are represented by nine building lots, two houses under construction, twenty-eight developed town-house lots and one commercial and industrial loan. Other real estate owned totaling $2.2 million are represented by twelve building lots and two houses under construction. Non-accrual loans were $50 thousand at December 31, 2007 compared to $120 thousand at December 31, 2006. The non-accrual loan of $50 at December 31, 2007 has an SBA guarantee of $25 thousand as additional collateral.

Non-performing Assets

We place loans on a non-accrual when the collection of principal and interest is doubtful, generally when a loan becomes 90 days past due. There are three negative implications for earnings when we place a loan on non-accrual status. First, all interest accrued but unpaid at the date that the loan is placed on non-accrual status is either deducted from interest income or written off as a loss. Second, accruals on interest are discontinued until it becomes certain that both principal and interest can be repaid. Finally, there may be actual losses that require additional provisions for loan losses to be charged against earnings.

The provision for loan losses was $2.9 million for 2008 compared to $676 thousand for 2007. Net charge-offs were $353 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $21 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2007. The portfolio continues to show considerable stress as the economic environment and the real estate market continue to deteriorate and additional provision for loan losses may be required if the downward trend in conditions persists. We have no exposure to sub-prime loans in the portfolio.

The following table shows the balance and percentage of our allowance for loan losses allocated to each major category of loan:

Securities

We account for securities under FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. We have designated most securities in the investment portfolio as “available for sale” as further defined in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements. In 2008, we designated certain securities as “held-to-maturity” as defined in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements. Available for sale securities are required to be carried on the financial statements at fair value. The unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred income taxes, are reflected in stockholders’ equity. Held-to-maturity are carried on our books at amortized cost.

The market value of the available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $30.5 million and $32.8 million, respectively. The net unrealized gain after tax on the available for sale securities was $196 thousand at December 31, 2008 as compared to $36 thousand net unrealized loss after tax at December 31, 2007. The net market value loss at December 31, 2008 is reflective of market interest rates.

Federal funds purchased have been a source of funds for the bank. We have various lines of credit available from certain of our correspondent banks in the aggregate amount of $27.7 million. These lines of credit, which bear interest at prevailing market rates, permit us to borrow funds in the overnight market, and are renewable annually. Advances from the FHLB constitute convertible advances with contractual maturities of five to ten years. All convertible advances have a call option remaining of various terms.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The most important element of asset/liability management is the monitoring of the Company’s sensitivity to interest rate movements. The income stream of the Company is subject to risk resulting from interest rate fluctuations to the extent there is a difference between the amount of the Company’s interest earning assets and the amount of interest bearing liabilities that are prepaid, mature or repriced in specific periods. Our goal is to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk to changes in interest rates. We seek to meet this goal by influencing the maturity and re-pricing characteristics of the various lending and deposit taking lines of business and by managing discretionary balance sheet asset and liability portfolios.

 

38


Table of Contents

We monitor interest rate levels on a daily basis at meetings of the Asset/Liability Sub-Committee. The following reports and/or tools are used to assess the current interest rate environment and its impact on our earnings and liquidity: monthly and year to date net interest margin and spread calculations, monthly and year to date balance sheet and income statements versus budget, quarterly net portfolio value analysis, a weekly survey of rates offered by other local competitive institutions and GAP analysis (matching maturities or repricing dates of interest sensitive assets to those of interest sensitive liabilities by periods) and a Risk Manager model used to measure earnings at risk and economic value of equity at risk.

The data in the following table reflects repricing or expected maturities of various assets and liabilities. The gap analysis represents the difference between interest-sensitive assets and liabilities in a specific time interval. Interest sensitivity gap analysis presents a position that existed at one particular point in time, and assumes that assets and liabilities with similar repricing characteristics will reprice at the same time and to the same degree.

Capital Resources and Dividends

We have an ongoing strategic objective of maintaining a capital base that supports the pursuit of profitable business opportunities, provides resources to absorb risk inherent in our activities and meets or exceeds all regulatory requirements.

 

39


Table of Contents

The Federal Reserve Board has established minimum regulatory capital standards for bank holding companies and state member banks. The regulatory capital standards categorize assets and off-balance sheet items into four categories that weight balance sheet assets according to risk, requiring more capital for holding higher risk assets. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, our Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to average total assets) was 9.62% and 12.50% respectively with the minimum regulatory ratio to be well capitalized at 5.00%. Tier 1 risk based capital ratios at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were 10.62% and 12.98% respectively with the minimum regulatory ratio to be well capitalized at 6.00%. Total risk based capital to risk weighted assets at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were 12.41% and 14.44% respectively with the minimum regulatory ratio to be well capitalized at 10.00%. Our capital structure exceeds regulatory guidelines established for well capitalized institutions, which affords us the opportunity to take advantage of business opportunities while ensuring that we have the resources to protect against risk inherent in our business.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, short-term investments, securities classified as available for sale as well as loans and securities maturing within one year. As a result of our management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes we maintain overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy our depositors’ requirements and meet our clients’ credit needs.

 

40


Table of Contents

We also maintain additional sources of liquidity through a variety of borrowing arrangements. The bank maintains federal funds lines with a large regional money-center banking institution and a local community bankers bank. These available lines currently total approximately $27.7 million, of which there were no outstanding draws at December 31, 2008.

We have a credit line at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta in the amount of approximately $76.3 million which may be utilized for short and/or long-term borrowing. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $50.0 million at December 31, 2008.

At December 31, 2008, cash, federal funds sold, short-term investments, securities available for pledge or sale and available lines were 24.3% of total deposits.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

There were no changes in or disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure during the last fiscal year.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of published financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on management’s assessment, management believes that as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on criteria set forth by COSO in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors

    And Stockholders

First Capital Bancorp, Inc.

Richmond, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of First Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 condition of First Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

First Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies

First Capital Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is the holding company of and successor to First Capital Bank (the “Bank”). Effective September 8 , 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Bank in a statutory share exchange transaction (the “Share Exchange”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated September 5, 2006, between the Company and the Bank (the “Agreement”). The Agreement was approved by the shareholders of the Bank at the annual meeting of shareholders held on May 16, 2006. Under the terms of the Agreement, the shares of the Bank’s common stock were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $4.00 per share, on a one-for-one basis. As a result, the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company became the holding company of the Bank and the shareholders of the Bank became shareholders of the Company. All references to the Company in this annual report for dates or periods prior to September 8, 2006 are references to the Bank.

The Company conducts all of its business activities through the branch offices of its wholly owned subsidiary bank, First Capital Bank. First Capital Bank created RE1, LLC, a wholly owned Virginia limited liability company in December 2008 for the sole purpose of taking title to property acquired in lieu of foreclosure. RE1, LLC has been consolidated with First Capital Bank. The Company exists primarily for the purpose of holding the stock of its subsidiary, the Bank, and such other subsidiaries as it may acquire or establish.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the financial services industry. The following is a summary of the more significant of these policies.

Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Capital Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. The estimation process may include management obtaining independent appraisals for significant collateral properties, but the ultimate collectibility and recovery of carrying amounts are susceptible to changes in the local real estate market and other local economic conditions.

Management uses available information to recognize losses on loans; future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowance for losses on loans may change in the near term.

Cash equivalents – Cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase, including Federal funds sold.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

 

Securities – Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, requires certain securities to be classified as “held to maturity”, “trading” or “available-for-sale”, according to management’s intent and ability, at the time of purchase.

Debt securities that are purchased with the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity or call date are classified as held-to-maturity. They are carried and reported at amortized cost. The amortization of premium and accretion of discount are recognized as adjustments to interest income using the interest method.

Debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are those needed to meet liquidity needs, provide portfolio restructuring, or to minimize interest rate market risk. They are carried at their market value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from income and reported net of tax effect as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities.

The Company as a matter of policy does not trade securities and therefore does not classify any of its securities as such. Realized gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method and recognized on a trade-date basis. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or to call dates.

Due to the nature of, and restrictions placed upon the Company’s common stock investment in the Federal Reserve Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and Community Bankers Bank, these securities have been classified as restricted equity securities and carried at cost. These restricted securities are not subject to the investment security classifications of SFAS 115.

Loans and allowances for loan losses – Loans are concentrated to borrowers in the Richmond metropolitan area and are stated at the amount of unpaid principal reduced by an allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances on the principal amount outstanding. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is an indication that the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. The Company defers loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs, and the net deferred fees are amortized into interest income over the lives of the related loans as yield adjustments.

Loans that are 90 days or more past due are individually reviewed for ultimate collectibility. Interest determined to be uncollectible on loans that are contractually past due is charged off, or an allowance is established based on management’s periodic evaluation. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued, and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received until, in management’s judgment, the borrower’s ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is returned to normal, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to absorb known and expected loan losses currently inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon type and volume of the loan portfolio, existing and anticipated economic conditions, and other factors which deserve current recognition in estimating loan losses. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance is subject to evaluation and adjustment by the Bank’s regulators.

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for

Impairment of a Loan.” A loan is defined as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts of principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured either by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate, based on the net realizable value of the collateral or based upon an observable market price where applicable.

Other real estate owned – Other real estate owned is comprised of real estate properties acquired in partial or total satisfaction of problem loans. The properties are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date acquired. Losses arising at the time of acquisition of such properties are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent write-downs that may be required to the carrying value of these properties are charged to current operations. Gains and losses realized from the sale of other real estate owned are included in current operations.

Bank premises and equipment – Company premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of Company premises and equipment is computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 10 to 50 years for premises and 5 to 20 years for equipment, furniture and fixtures. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and major improvements are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of depreciable properties, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are netted against the proceeds and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of income.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets – The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used, such as bank premises and equipment, is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceed the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of, such as foreclosed properties, are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Income taxes – Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

Advertising costs – Advertising costs are expensed in the period they are incurred and amounted to $249,953 and $195,247 for December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation – In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which encouraged companies to recognize expense for stock-based awards based on their estimated value on the date of grant. SFAS 123 permitted companies to account for stock-based compensation based on provisions prescribed in SFAS 123, or based on the authoritative guidance in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Bank elected to account for its stock-based compensation in accordance with APB 25, which used the intrinsic value method; however, as required by SFAS 123, the Bank disclosed the pro forma impact on the financial statements assuming the measurement provisions of SFAS 123 had been adopted.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123R, Shared-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS

123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation using APB Opinion No. 25 and requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation in the financial statements using a fair value-based method. SFAS 123R is effective for nonpublic companies as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. SFAS 123R was adopted by the Bank beginning with the year ended December 31, 2006.

SFAS 123R requires public companies to adopt the recognition requirements using either a “modified prospective” method or a “modified retrospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all shared-based payments granted after that date, and based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R. Under the “modified retrospective” method, the requirements are the same as under the “modified prospective” method, but also permits entities to restate financial statements of previous periods based on pro forma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS 123.

The Bank adopted SFAS 123R under the “modified prospective” method effective January 1, 2006. The Bank has begun to recognize compensation expense for options that have been issued but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006. In addition, options issued after January 1, 2006 will increase compensation expense for 2006 and afterward. In December 2005, the Board of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting of all unvested stock options outstanding prior to December 31, 2005. The Board agreed to accelerate the vesting of options in order to eliminate the recognition of compensation expense associated with the affected unvested options under SFAS No. 123R. Management determined that the acceleration of vesting did not represent a renewal or extension which increased the life of the stock options as contemplated by FIN 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation and consequently did not result in a new measurement date for purposes of determining compensation expense. Options that were granted during 2007 and 2006 resulted in additional compensation expense of $81,931. Future levels of compensation cost recognized related to share-based compensation awards may be impacted by new awards and/or modification, repurchases and cancellations of existing awards after the adoption of this standard.

Comprehensive income – SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires the Company to classify items of “Other Comprehensive Income” (such as net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities) by their nature in a financial statement and present the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. The Company’s other comprehensive income consists of net income and net unrealized gains (losses) on securities available-for-sale, net on income taxes.

Note 2 – Restrictions of cash

To comply with Federal Reserve regulations, the Company is required to maintain certain average cash reserve balances. The daily average cash reserve requirements were approximately $930,000 for the week including December 31, 2008 and $1,053,000 for the week including December 31, 2007.

Note 7 – FHLB advances, securities sold under repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased

The Company uses both short-term and long-term borrowings to supplement deposits when they are available at a lower overall cost to the Company or they can be invested at a positive rate of return.

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, the Company is required to own capital stock in the FHLB and is authorized to apply for advances from the FHLB. Each FHLB credit program has its own interest rate, which may be fixed or variable, and range of maturities. The FHLB advances are secured by the pledge of FHLB stock and a blanket lien on qualified 1 to 4 family residential real estate loans and a blanket lien on qualified commercial mortgages.

Advances from the FHLB at December 31, 2008 consist of the following:

The subordinated debt may be included in Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital adequacy determination purposes up to 50% of Tier 1 capital.

Note 9 – Trust Preferred Securities

On September 9, 2006, FCRV Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable capital securities. On September 21, 2006, $5,155,000 of Trust Preferred Capital Notes were issued through a pooled underwriting. The Trust issued $155,000 in common equity to the Company. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of interest (three-month LIBOR plus 1.70%) which adjusts, and is payable quarterly. The interest rate at December 31, 2008 was 3.70%. The securities may be redeemed at par beginning on September 15, 2011 and each quarter after such date until the securities mature on September 15, 2036. The principal asset of the Trust is $5,155,000 of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with like maturities and like interest rates to the Trust Preferred Capital Notes.

The trust preferred securities issued by the Company may be included in Tier 1 capital for regulatory adequacy determination purposes up to 25% of Tier 1 capital after its inclusion. The portion of the trust preferred securities, not considered as Tier 1 capital, may be included in Tier 2 capital.

The obligations of the Company with respect to the issuance of the Trust Preferred Capital Notes constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trust’s obligations with respect to the Trust Preferred Capital Notes. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related Trust Preferred Capital Notes and require a deferral of common dividends.

Pursuant of FASB Interpretation No. 46R, the Company does not consolidate the Trust.

Note 10 – Fair Value Disclosures

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FAS 157, Fair Value Measurement. FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value and describes methods available to appropriately measure fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This statement applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements.

The fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (Levels 1, 2 and 3). Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and reflect the reporting entity’s own evaluation about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

Note 11 – Income taxes

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007 with no impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties related to income tax during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, and did no accrue any interest or penalties as of December 31, 2008 or 2007. The Company did not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as deductions taken and benefits accrued are based on widely understood administrative practices and procedures, and are based on clear and unambiguous tax law. Tax returns for all years 2005 and thereafter are subject to possible future examinations by tax authorities.

During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company utilized the services of a law firm for advice on various legal matters. The Chairman of the Board of Directors is also a principal in this law firm. The law firm was approved to provide various legal services to the Company at a cost of $185,243 and $128,450 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company also utilized services of other businesses to acquire furniture and office supplies. Several Board members are involved with the daily activity of these businesses. Total purchases for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $178,875 and $46,118, respectively.

Note 13 – Regulatory requirements and restrictions

The Company is subject to various federal and state regulatory requirements, including regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies to ensure capital adequacy. 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 financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

The most recent notification from the regulatory agencies categorized the Company’s and the Bank’s capital position as well-capitalized, under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed this category.

The Company’s actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table.

The amount of dividends payable by the Company depends upon its earnings and capital position, and is limited by federal and state law, regulations and policy. In addition, Virginia law imposes restrictions on the ability of all banks chartered under Virginia law to pay dividends. Under such law, no dividend may be declared or paid that would impair a bank’s paid-in capital. Each of the Commission and the FDIC has the general authority to limit dividends paid by the Bank if such payments are deemed to constitute an unsafe and unsound practice.

Note 14 – Commitments and contingent liabilities

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers in the Richmond metropolitan area. These financial instruments include unused lines of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the statement of financial condition. Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk are summarized as follows:

 

     2008    2007

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

     

Unused commercial lines of credit

   $ 79,300,000    $ 104,545,729

Unused consumer lines of credit

     11,430,000      11,711,242

Standby and Performance Letters of Credit

     8,393,000      8,799,300

Loan commitments

     13,465,009      22,317,500
             
   $ 112,588,009    $ 147,373,771
             

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for unused lines of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments.

The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Unused lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include personal property, commercial property, residential property, land, and accounts receivable.

Note 15 – 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 primarily of the Richmond metropolitan area. 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.

At times, cash balances at financial institutions are in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Bank believes no significant risk of loss exists with respect to those balances.

Note 16 – Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:

Cash and due from banks – The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks approximate their fair value.

Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities – Fair values measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that considers observable market data (Level 2). If the inputs used to provide the evaluation for certain securities are unobservable and/or there is little, if any, market activity (Level 3). The carrying value of restricted Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of each entity and is therefore excluded from the following table.

Loans receivable – Fair values are based on carrying values for variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk. Fair values for certain mortgage loans (for example, 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 commercial real estate and commercial loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The interest rates on loans at December 31, 2008 and 2007 are current market rates for their respective terms and associated credit risk.

Deposit liabilities – The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate CDs 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.

Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

 

Accrued interest – The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank The carrying value of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank due within ninety days from the balance sheet date approximate fair value. Fair values for convertible advances are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on convertible advances with similar remaining maturities.

Federal Funds purchased and repurchase agreements – The carrying value of federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements due within ninety days from the balance sheet date approximate fair value.

Off-balance-sheet instruments – Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and counterparties’ credit standings. These are not deemed to be material at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Note 18 – Stock Offering

On June 19, 2007, the Company closed on a public stock offering of 1,020,000 shares of common stock at $15.75 per share. The offering was underwritten by two local brokerage houses. Gross proceeds totaled $16.1 million.

On July 11, 2007, an additional 152,900 shares of common stock were issued as a result of the exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters of the Company’s public offering of 1,020,000 shares of common stock at $15.75 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from this exercise of the over-allotment option were $2.4 million.

Total costs of the offerings were $1.4 million. The Company is using the net proceeds from the offering to increase equity and for general corporate purposes, including using the net proceeds to provide additional equity to the Bank to support the growth of its operations.

Note 19 – Other employee benefit plans

During April 1999, the Company instituted a contributory thrift plan through the Virginia Bankers Association, covering all eligible employees. Participants may make contributions to the plan during the year, with certain limitations. During 2008 and 2007, the Company contributed to the plan an amount equal to seventy-five percent of the first six percent contributed. The participants are 100% vested upon three years of service to the Company. Expenses amounted to $146,319 and $127,073 in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Note 20 – Earnings per share

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

The basic and diluted earnings per share calculations are as follows:

Note 21 – Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, was issued in September 2006. In defining fair value, SFAS No. 157 retains the exchange price notion in earlier definitions of fair value. However, the definition of fair value under SFAS No. 157 focuses on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price), not the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability (an entry price). SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop assumptions used to determine the exit price. Under this standard, fair value measurements would be disclosed separately by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157

effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. For additional information on the fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities, see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 creates a fair value option allowing an entity irrevocably to elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and financial liabilities, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as they occur. SFAS No. 159 requires an entity to report those financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in a manner that separates those reported fair values from the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities measured using another measurement attribute on the face of the statement of financial position. SFAS No. 159 also requires an entity to provide information that would allow users to understand the effect on earnings of changes in the fair value on those instruments selected for the fair value election. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 effective January 1, 2008. There was no initial effect of adoption since the Company did not elect the fair value option for any existing asset or liability. In addition, the Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets originated or purchased, or for liabilities issued, through December 31, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised 2007), Business Combinations, (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities and any noncontrolling interest acquired due to a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) expands the definitions of a business and a business combination, resulting in an increased number of transactions or other events that will qualify as business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141(R) the entity that acquires the business (the “acquirer”) will record 100 percent of all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, including goodwill, generally at their fair values. As such, an acquirer will not be permitted to recognize the allowance for loan losses of the acquiree. SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquirer to recognize goodwill as of the acquisition date, measured as a residual. In most business combinations, goodwill will be recognized to the extent that the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at the acquisition date exceeds the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Under SFAS No. 141(R), acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed as incurred rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, for acquisitions completed after December 31, 2008, the Company will apply the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R).

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51, which defines noncontrolling interest as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the parent. SFAS No. 160 requires the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent (previously referred to as minority interest) to be clearly presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to any noncontrolling interest must be clearly presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. Changes in the parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest (greater than 50 percent ownership) are to be accounted for as equity transactions. Upon a loss of control, any gain or loss on the interest sold will be recognized in earnings. Additionally, any ownership interest retained will be remeasured at fair value on the date control is lost, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 160 in the first quarter 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 160 to have a material effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, issued in March 2008, requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and

 

F-28


Table of Contents

hedging activities. These enhanced disclosures will discuss (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 with earlier adoption allowed. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

FSP No. FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active (“FSP FAS 157-3”), issued in October 2008, clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Revisions resulting from a change in the valuation technique or its application should be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate following the guidance in SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. However, the disclosure provisions in SFAS No. 154 for a change in accounting estimate are not required for revisions resulting from a change in valuation technique or its application. As FSP FAS 157-3 clarified but did not change the application of SFAS No. 157, the adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 had no effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

From time to time the FASB issues exposure drafts for proposed statements of financial accounting standards. Such exposure drafts are subject to comment from the public, to revisions by the FASB and to final issuance by the FASB as statements of financial accounting standards. Management considers the effect of the proposed statements on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and monitors the status of changes to and proposed effective dates of exposure drafts.

First Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

First Capital Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is the holding company of and successor to First Capital Bank (the “Bank”). Effective September 8, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Bank in a statutory share exchange transaction (the “Share Exchange”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated September 5, 2006, between the Company and the Bank (the “Agreement”). The Agreement was approved by the shareholders of the Bank at the annual meeting of shareholders held on May 16, 2006. Under the terms of the Agreement, the shares of the Bank’s common stock were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $4.00 per share, on a one-for-one basis. As a result, the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company became the holding company of the Bank and the shareholders of the Bank became shareholders of the Company.

In management’s opinion the accompanying consolidated financial statements, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Results for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009.

The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed, and other related information are contained in the notes to the financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed as part of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements.

First Capital Bancorp, Inc.’s critical accounting policy relates to the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses which is based on management’s opinion of an amount that is adequate to absorb losses in the Company’s existing portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan loss based on available information including the composition of the loan portfolio, historical loan losses (to the extent available due to limited history), specific impaired loans, availability and quality of the collateral, age of the various portfolios, changes in local economic conditions, and loan performance and quality of the portfolio. Different assumptions used in evaluating the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses could result in material changes in its financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s policies with respect to the methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses involve a high degree of complexity and require management to make subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about certain matters. This critical policy and its assumptions are periodically reviewed with the Company’s Board of Directors.

After quarter end, First Capital Bancorp, Inc. announced plans to merge with Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. located in Tappahannock, Virginia. This will be a strategic alliance which will match up their strong retail experience with our strong commercial business. The merger is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2009.

After quarter end, First Capital Bancorp, Inc, issued 10,958 shares of preferred stock to the U. S. Treasury. The Company had applied for funds under the TARP Capital Purchase Plan (“CPP”). The agreement requires us to pay a 5% dividend on the preferred stock for the first five years. The dividend increases to 9% for all periods after the first five years if we have not redeemed the preferred stock. In addition, we issued a warrant to the U. S. Treasury giving them the right to purchase 250,947 shares of our common stock at $6.55 per share for up to 10 years.

Note 2 – Use of Estimates

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Note 3 – Earnings per share

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

The basic and diluted earnings per share calculations are as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended

     2009    2008

Net income (numerator, basic and diluted)

   $ 102,178    $ 415,137

Earnings per common share - assuming dilution

   $ 0.03    $ 0.14
             

Note 4 – Stock Options

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified prospective method and, accordingly, did not restate the consolidated statements of operations for periods prior to January 1, 2006. This pronouncement amended SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and superseded Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under SFAS No. 123(R), the Company measures compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense in the consolidated statements of income over the service period that the awards are expected to vest.

Options totaling 5,000, 3,500 and 20,000 shares were granted in January, August and October of 2008, respectively. All options were granted at an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. These options vest over three years. No options were granted in the first quarter of 2009. The stock based compensation expensed during the quarter was $42,604 and is included in salaries and employee benefits.

Note 7 – Fair Value Disclosures

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FAS 157, Fair Value Measurement. FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value and describes methods available to appropriately measure fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This statement applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements.

The fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (Levels 1, 2 and 3). Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and reflect the reporting entity’s own evaluation about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

Note 8 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations (revised 2007).” SFAS No. 141R improves reporting by creating greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations, resulting in more complete, comparable, and relevant information for investors and other users of financial statements. To achieve this goal, the new standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first fiscal year that commences after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) on January 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 160 improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way—as equity in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, SFAS No.160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests by requiring that they be treated as equity transactions. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” FSP No. 157-4 provides guidelines for a broad interpretation of when to apply market-based fair value measurements. The FSP reaffirms management’s need to use judgment to determine when a market that once was active has become inactive and in determining fair values in markets that are no longer active. FSP No. 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Early adoption is permitted for the fiscal years and interim periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact FSP No. 157-4 will have on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption on April 1, 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” to amend the other-than-temporary impairment criteria associated with marketable debt securities and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. This FSP requires that an entity evaluate for and record an other-than-temporary impairment when it concludes that it does not intend to sell an impaired security and does not believe it likely that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis. Once an entity has determined that an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, it is required to record the credit loss component of the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the estimated fair value in earnings, whereas the remaining difference is to be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income and amortized over the remaining life of the security. The FSP also requires some additional disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. FSP No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Early adoption is permitted for the fiscal years and interim periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that FSP No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2 will have on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption on April 1, 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” The FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 increases the frequency of fair value disclosures to a quarterly instead of annual basis. The guidance relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet at fair value. This FSP is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years and interim periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact FSP No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 will have on the disclosures about its fair value instruments.

FIRST CAPITAL BANCORP, INC

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The purpose of this discussion is to focus on important factors affecting the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.

This report contains forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company. There forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of management of the Company and on information available at the time these statements and disclosures were prepared. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expected included the following:

 

   

General economic conditions may deteriorate and negatively impact the ability of borrowers to repay loans and depositors to maintain balances.

 

   

Changes in interest rates could reduce income.

 

   

Competitive pressures among financial institutions may increase.

 

   

The businesses that the Company is engaged in may be adversely affected by legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards.

 

   

New products developed or new methods of delivering products could result in a reduction in business and income for the Company.

 

   

Adverse changes may occur in the securities market.

OVERVIEW

Continued volatility and uncertainty in the economic environment impacted first quarter 2009 results. Our results reflect the impact of this environment with large increases in federal funds sold, a decline in loan growth, continued large additions to the loan loss provision, an increase in OREO, lower interest income as a result of the rapid rate declines in 2008 and increases in deposits as we restructure our balance sheet and investors look for safe havens to invest their cash.

Subsequent to quarter end, management announced on April 3, 2009, a definitive merger agreement with Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. (“EVBS”) in Tappahannock, Virginia. This will be a strategic alliance which will match up their strong retail experience with our strong commercial business. The merger is expected to close in late 2009.

On April 3, 2009 First Capital Bancorp, Inc, issued 10,958 shares of preferred stock to the U. S. Treasury. The Company had applied for funds under the TARP Capital Purchase Plan (“CPP”). The agreement requires us to pay a 5% dividend on the preferred stock for the first five years. The dividend increases to 9% for all periods after the first five years if we have not redeemed the preferred stock. In addition, we issued a warrant to the U. S. Treasury giving them the right to purchase 250,947 shares of our common stock at $6.55 per share for up to 10 years. These funds increased the capital ratios of an already well capitalized company.

Net income for the first quarter of 2009 was $102 thousand compared to $415 thousand in the first quarter of 2008. This decline was the result of several factors. Net interest income decreased $263 thousand. While average earning assets grew $80.4 million over their 2008 balances, rapid rate declines in late 2008 caused the average yield on loans to decrease 137 basis points. In addition, the average Federal funds sold earned 0.20% during the first quarter of 2009 as compared to 2.75% for the first quarter of 2008. Average

Table of Contents

interest-bearing liabilities increased $76.4 million which was $5.3 million more than loan growth. Average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 71 basis points as compared to the first quarter of 2008. Noninterest expenses increased due to the addition of our Bon Air Branch, increased FDIC assessments and increased Virginia franchise tax.

Financial Condition

Total assets at March 31, 2009 were $473.0 million, up $41.4 million, or 9.6%, from $431.6 million at year-end and up $80.3 million or 20.5% from March 31, 2008, when total assets were $392.6 million. This increase is the result of strong deposit growth, particularly in the first quarter of 2009. Loan growth for the first quarter of 2009 was $5.8 million, or 1.6% compared to the 2008 year-end balance. For the quarter, total average assets were $451.3 million, an increase of 21.8% compared to $370.7 million in the first quarter of 2008. For the quarter ending March 31, 2009, average total loans, net of unearned income, were $377.8 million, an increase $71.0 million, or 23.2% compared to $306.7 million in the first quarter of 2008.

At March 31, 2009, the Company’s investment portfolio totaled $48.7 million, an increase of $15.7 million from $33.0 million at March 31, 2008 and an increase of $16.7 million from $32.0 million at year-end 2008. Interest rates during the first quarter of 2009 were low compared to the same quarter in the prior year. In addition, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta did not pay a dividend in the first quarter of 2009 on a required investment of $3.0 million in restricted investments. Most of the funds that are invested in the Company’s investment portfolio are part of management’s effort to balance interest rate risk and to provide liquidity.

Total deposits of $377.1 million at March 31, 2009 represent an increase of $42.8 million, or 12.8% from $334.0 million at year-end 2008 and an increase of $82.2 million, or 27.9%, from $294.9 million at March 31, 2008. The cost of deposits continues to decrease, and we anticipate that it will drop more as large blocks of certificates of deposit reprice and money market deposits reprice lower.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents a principal source of earnings for the Company. Changes in net interest income during 2009 to date are attributable primarily to the overall growth of the Company, offset by drastic actions of the Federal Reserve Bank’s Open Market Committee (FOMC). The FOMC cut the federal funds targeted rate and the associated prime rate of interest by 400 basis points since January 1, 2008, resulting in a significant decline in the key rate that is tied to over 40% of the Company’s loan portfolio having a daily rate change. Although the vast majority of our time deposits are set to reprice in the next twelve months and will lower funding costs, this rapid reduction in rates put pressure on our net interest margin.

Net interest margin decreased 22 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to 2.38% as compared to 2.60% for the fourth quarter of 2008, reflecting slow loan growth, fed funds growth at 0.20% earnings for the first quarter of 2009 and deposit growth as average rates on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 26 basis points from 3.84% for the fourth quarter of 2008 to 3.58% for the first quarter of 2009. Net interest margin is down 78 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the first quarter of 2008. The yield on earning assets decreased from 6.80% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 to 5.46% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 71 basis points to 3.58% for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to 4.29% for the same period in 2008.

Total interest and fees on loans, the largest component of net interest income, decreased 1.1%, or $59 thousand to $5.4 million during the first quarter of 2009 compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2008 due to the rapid decrease in interest rates during 2008.

Interest on investment securities increased 14.9% to $440 thousand for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $383 thousand for the same period of 2008 as average balances in investment securities increased to $37.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $30.1 million for the comparable period in 2008. Interest on federal funds sold decreased $104 thousand for the first quarter of 2009 to $9 thousand from $113 thousand for the same period in 2008 as the FOMC decreased fed funds rates significantly since January 1, 2008.

Table of Contents

Dividends on restricted equity securities decreased $43 thousand to $5 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $47 thousand in the first quarter of 2008, as a result of a significant decrease in the dividend rate during the quarter on Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta stock.

Interest expense on deposits increased $178 thousand to $2.8 million, or 6.8% for the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008. The increase in deposit expense is due to the increase in average outstanding deposits, arising from the overall growth of the Company and offset by a decrease in the overall rates paid on deposits. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $543 thousand for the first quarter of 2009 an decrease of $64 thousand, or 10.6%, over the same period of 2008. Decreases in the average cost of Trust Preferred securities, which are tied to the three month LIBOR, from an average of 6.36% for the first quarter of 2008 to an average of 3.63% for the first quarter of 2009.

Average Balances, Income and Expenses, Yields and Rates

Net interest income represents our principal source of earnings. Net interest income is the amount by which interest generated from earning assets exceeds the expense of funding those assets. Changes in volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as their respective yields and rates, have a significant impact on the level of net interest income

Earning assets consist primarily of loans, investment securities and other investments. Interest-bearing liabilities consist principally of deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings.

The following table illustrates average balances of total interest-earning assets and total interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated, showing the average distribution of assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity and related income, expense and corresponding weighted-average yields and rates. The average balances used in these tables were calculated using daily average balances.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income was $181 thousand for the first quarter of 2009, compared to $172 thousand for the same period of 2008. Fees on deposits decreased 4.1% to $61 thousand for the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Other noninterest income increased $11 thousand, or 10.6% to $120 thousand for the first quarter of 2009 from $108 thousand for the first quarter of 2008. This change in other noninterest income is the result in increases in fees related to investment sales through Infinex and Bankers Title, LLC.

Total noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 2009 totaled $2.4 million, an increase of $345 thousand, or 17.2%, compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2007. These increases are attributable to the following factors: 1) an increase in salaries and benefits of $145 thousand for the quarter, primarily arising from additional salaries due to a new banking office in Bon Air, higher employee benefit costs, and additional 401-K match; 2) an increase of $18 thousand for the quarter in depreciation expense related to the additional banking office and the relocation of two offices to free standing owned facilities; 3) an $24 thousand increase in the Virginia Franchise tax for the quarter as the result of the additional equity infusion in First Capital Bank in the third quarter of 2008; 4) an increase in data processing expenses related to additional branches and services provided and 5) an increase in FDIC assessments of $62 thousand due to deposit increases and premium increases.

Income Taxes

The income tax expense was $51 thousand for the first quarter of 2009 on pretax income of $154 thousand compared to $228 thousand for the first quarter of 2008 on pretax income of $643 thousand. Income tax expense decreased as a percentage of pretax income from 35% for the first quarter of 2008 to 33% for the first quarter of 2009 as the result of additional nontaxable income on municipal securities acquired in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009.

ASSET QUALITY

The Company’s allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the amount needed to provide for possible losses in the loan portfolio. In determining adequacy of the allowance, management considers a number of factors, including, the Company’s historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, specific impaired loans, the overall level of nonperforming loans, the value and adequacy of collateral and guarantors, experience and depth of lending staff, effects of credit concentrations and economic conditions. Because the risk of loan loss includes general economic trends as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the allowance for loan losses can only be an estimate.

While the Company believes it has sufficient allowance for its existing portfolio, there can be no assurances that an additional allowance for losses on existing loans may not be necessary in the future. The allowance for loan losses totaled $5.1 million and $2.8 million at March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding at March 31, 2009 and 2008 was 1.34% and 0.89%, respectively. Loans totaled $2.8 million that were more than 30 days but less than 89 days past due at March 31, 2009. No loans were past due 90 days or more and still accruing. Non-accrual loans, represented by four relationships, totaled $3.9 million.

Total nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans and foreclosed properties, were $8.2 million at March 31, 2009, $6.6 million at December 31, 2008 and $116 thousand at March 31, 2008. This increase is the result of a depressed economy and a weak real estate market, which has slowed sales of homes.

LIQUIDITY

Management monitors and plans the Company’s liquidity position for future periods. Liquidity is provided from cash, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, repayments of loans, increases in deposits, federal funds facility from three correspondent banks, term loans from a federal agency bank and maturing investments. Management is committed to maintaining liquidity at a level sufficient to protect depositors, provide for reasonable growth, and fully comply with all regulatory requirements.

At March 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents totaled $30.7 million. Investment securities available-for-sale and not pledged totaled $34.1 million, for a total of 13.7% of total assets, which management believe is adequate to meet short-term liquidity needs. Management also has alternative sources of funding available, including unused unsecured federal funds facility with three banks totaling $27.7 million, unused secured federal funds facility totaling $1.2 million and unused available term loans through the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $26.3 million.

Total liquidity and other alternative sources of liquidity total $92.5 million at March 31, 2009 if fully utilized, which represents 19.6% of assets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business there are outstanding commitments for the extension of credit which are not reflected in the financial statements. At March 31, 2009, pre-approved but unused lines of credit for loans totaled approximately $80.3 million. In addition, we had approximately $8.8 million in financial and performance standby letters of credit at March 31, 2009. These commitments represent no more than the normal lending risk that we commit to borrowers. If these commitments are drawn, we will obtain collateral if it is deemed necessary based on our credit evaluation of the counterparty.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company is 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 financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company 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 classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Table of Contents

Management reviews the adequacy of the Company’s capital on an ongoing basis with reference to the size, composition, and quality of the Company’s resources and compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and absorb potential losses.

Federal regulatory risk-based capital ratio guidelines require percentages to be applied to various assets including off-balance sheet assets in relation to their perceived risk. Tier 1 capital consists of stockholders’ equity and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, less net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities. Tier 2 capital, a component of total capital, consists of a portion of the allowance for loan losses, certain components of nonpermanent preferred stock and subordinated debt. The $5 million in trust preferred securities issued by the Company in September 2006 qualified as Tier 1 capital. First Capital Bank’s ratios exceed regulatory requirements. As of March 31, 2009, First Capital Bancorp, Inc. had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 10.35% and a Total risk-based capital ratio of 12.12%. At December 31, 2008 these ratios were 10.62% and 12.40%, respectively.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain a system of internal controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our published financial statements and other disclosures included in this report. Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carries out its evaluation.

Agreements with Executive Officers

The Bank has entered into an Employment Agreement dated December 31, 2008 with Mr. John M. Presley. The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Presley’s employment is terminable at any time by either party, except that the Bank must give Mr. Presley 30 days’ notice if it intends to terminate the agreement without “cause” (as defined therein). The agreement provides for an initial base salary of $200,000 per year, with the Board of Directors having the discretion to pay Mr. Presley additional compensation as a bonus based on the profitability of the Bank, and Mr. Presley’s performance. In the event the Bank terminates Mr. Presley’s employment without “cause”, the Bank must pay to Mr. Presley his base salary for a period of six to 12 months, with such period to be determined by the Board of Directors in its reasonable discretion. In addition, in the event Mr. Presley’s employment is terminated within nine months following a “change of control” (as defined in the agreement), Mr. Presley is entitled to receive his base salary for a period of 18 months following such termination. The agreement also prohibits Mr. Presley from competing with the Bank under certain circumstances and for various periods of time following the termination of his employment, depending on when such termination occurs and the basis for such termination. Mr. Presley’s current annual salary under the agreement is $200,000.

The Bank has entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated December 31, 2008 with Mr. Watts. The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Watts’ employment is terminable at any time by either party, except that the Bank must give Mr. Watts 30 days’ notice if it intends to terminate the agreement without “cause” (as defined therein). The agreement provides for an initial base salary of $200,000 per year, with the Board of Directors having the discretion to pay Mr. Watts additional compensation as a bonus based on the profitability of the Bank, and Mr. Watts’ performance. In the event the Bank terminates Mr. Watts’ employment without “cause”, the Bank must pay to Mr. Watts his base salary for a period of six to 12 months, with such period to be determined by the Board of Directors in its reasonable discretion. In addition, in the event Mr. Watts’ employment is terminated within nine months following a “change of control” (as defined in the agreement), Mr. Watts is entitled to receive his base salary for a period of 18 months following such termination.

The Bank has entered into an Amended and Restated Change of Control Agreement dated September 15, 2006 with Mr. Ranson. The Change of Control Agreement provides that Mr. Ranson shall be entitled to receive a payment equal to 2.99 times his then base salary in the event his employment with FCB terminates or is terminated during the six (6) months immediately preceding a “Change in Control” (as defined in the agreement) or the six (6) months immediately following a Change in Control, unless such termination is or was (a) because of Mr. Ranson’s death, (b) by the Bank for Cause or Disability (as such terms are defined in the agreement), or (c) by Mr. Ranson other than for Good Reason (as defined in the agreement). Any such payment that becomes due to Mr. Ranson can be paid a lump sum or, at the Bank’s option, in equal monthly installments for thirty-six (36) months.

Stock Option Plan

On March 15, 2000 the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted the First Capital Bank 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), which was approved by the stockholders of the Bank at the annual meeting of stockholders held on May 24, 2000. The Plan originally made available up to 77,000 shares of Common Stock for the granting of stock options to employees, directors, consultants and other persons who have provided services to the Bank in the form of incentive stock options (employees only) and non-qualified stock options (collectively, “Options”). With each subsequent capital raise to support the Company’s growth, the Plan has been amended. On March 19, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Bank approved an amendment to the Plan increasing the number of shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of options to be granted under the Plan by 52,170 shares. The amendment was approved by the stockholders of the Bank at the annual meeting held on May 22, 2003, as a result of which the Plan now made up to 129,170 shares available for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the Plan. On February 16, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Bank approved an additional amendment to the Plan increasing the number of shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of options to be granted under the Plan by 26,486 shares. The amendment was approved by the stockholders of the Bank at the annual meeting held on May 18, 2005, as a result of which the Plan made up to 233,489 shares available for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the Plan (after adjustment for the 3 for 2 stock that was effective December 28, 2005). On February 21, 2007, the Board of Directors of FCB approved an additional amendment to the Plan increasing the number of shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of options to be granted under the Plan by 105,000 shares. The amendment was approved by the stockholders of FCB at the annual meeting held on August 15, 2007, as a result of which the Plan now makes up to 338,489 shares available for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the Plan.

The Plan was adopted and approved as the FCB 2000 Stock Option Plan in connection with the consummation of the Share Exchange on September 8, 2006. In connection therewith, any and all options thereunder were automatically converted into options to acquire shares of stock in FCB. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall continue in effect for a period of ten years from the adoption of the Plan by the Board.

The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, or a Committee thereof, which has the power to determine the persons to whom Options are to be granted. In administering the Plan, the Board of Directors or the Committee, as applicable, has the authority to determine the terms and conditions upon which Options may be made and exercised, to construe and interpret the Plan and to make all determinations and actions with respect to the Plan. Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the exercise price of incentive stock options awarded in the future shall not be less than the fair market value of the Bank’s Common Stock on the date the Option is granted. The exercise price of all other options awarded in the future will not be less than 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the date the option is granted. Furthermore, all Options may be subject to various vesting requirements that must first be satisfied in order for the Options to be exercisable. All Options to be granted to the executive officers and directors of FCB will be granted in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

[TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS, PROMOTERS AND CERTAIN CONTROL PERSONS]

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

There are no legal proceedings to which any director, executive officer or shareholder, or any affiliate thereof, is a party that would be material and adverse to the Company.

During fiscal 2008, FCB or the Bank extended credit to certain of its Directors. All such loans were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to the Company, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. The Company is prohibited from making loans, with the exception of residential mortgages and educational loans, to executive officers in excess of certain dollar limits fixed by federal banking laws. The balance of loans to Company directors and executive officers totaled $13.8 million at December 31, 2008, or 38.95% of the Company’s equity as of such date.

There are no existing or proposed transactions between FCB and its Directors outside of those contemplated in the ordinary course of its banking business. In accordance with the foregoing, FCB currently employs the law firm of Cantor Arkema, P.C. with which Grant S. Grayson, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of FCB, is affiliated, as counsel to FCB. In addition, the Company purchases office supplies, furniture and equipment from the Supply Room Companies/Mega Office Furniture, with which Yancey Jones, a Director, is affiliated.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES

Independence

Except for Mr. Watts and Mr. Presley, all of the Company’s directors are “independent” as defined by the listing standards of NASDAQ. However, based on his affiliation with Cantor Arkema, P. C. , Mr. Grayson is not “independent” for the purpose of serving on the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Table of Contents

FCB does not have a standing nominating committee. Instead, the full Board of Directors functions in this capacity. The Company believes that such an approach is preferable to having a nominating committee because it assures the widest possible scope in the identification and selection of potential new Board members. Because Mr. Watts and Mr. Presley are not independent directors, they do not participate in any discussions or votes regarding director nominees.
