EASTERN VIRGINIA BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. (the “Parent”) and its subsidiaries, EVB Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), and EVB (the “Bank”) and its subsidiaries, are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”).

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent, the Bank and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the “Company.” All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the Parent owns the Trust which is an unconsolidated subsidiary. The subordinated debt owed to this trust is reported as a liability of the Parent.

Nature of Operations

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. The Company conducts its primary operations through its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, EVB. Two of EVB’s three predecessor banks, Bank of Northumberland, Inc. and Southside Bank, were established in 1910. The third bank, Hanover Bank, was established as a de novo bank in 2000. In April 2006, these three banks were merged and the surviving bank was re-branded as EVB. The Bank provides a full range of banking and related financial services to individuals and businesses through its network of retail branches. With twenty-two branches, the Bank serves diverse markets that primarily are in the counties of Essex, Gloucester, Hanover, Henrico, King and Queen, King William, Lancaster, Middlesex, New Kent, Richmond, Northumberland, Southampton, Surry, Sussex and the City of Colonial Heights. The Bank operates under a state bank charter and as such is subject to regulation by the Virginia State Corporation Commission-Bureau of Financial Institutions (the “Bureau”) and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”).

The Bank owns EVB Financial Services, Inc., which in turn has a 100% ownership interest in EVB Investments, Inc. and through March 31, 2011 a 50% ownership interest in EVB Mortgage, LLC. EVB Investments, Inc. is a full-service brokerage firm offering a comprehensive range of investment services. EVB Mortgage, LLC was formed to originate and sell residential mortgages. Due to the uncertainties surrounding potential regulatory pressures regarding the origination and funding of mortgage loans on one to four family residences, the Company decided in March 2011 to cease the operations of EVB Mortgage, LLC as a joint venture with Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC. On April 1, 2011, the Company entered into an independent contractor agreement with Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company will advise and consult with Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC and facilitate the marketing and brand recognition of their mortgage business. In addition, the Company will provide Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC with offices at five retail branches in the Company’s market area and access to office equipment at those locations during normal work hours. For its services, the Company shall receive fixed monthly compensation from Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC in the amount of $1 thousand, which is adjustable on a quarterly basis going forward. The Bank has a 75% ownership interest in EVB Title, LLC, which primarily sells title insurance to the mortgage loan customers of the Bank and EVB Mortgage, LLC. The Bank has a 2.33% ownership in Bankers Insurance, LLC, which primarily sells insurance products to customers of the Bank, and other financial institutions that have an equity interest in the agency. The Bank also has a 100% ownership interest in Dunston Hall LLC, POS LLC, Tartan Holdings LLC and ECU-RE LLC which were formed to hold the title to real estate acquired by the Bank upon foreclosure on property of real estate secured loans. The financial position and operating results of all of these subsidiaries are not significant to the Company as a whole and are not considered principal activities of the Company at this time. The Company’s stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “EVBS.”

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, impairment of loans, impairment of securities, the valuation of other real estate owned, the projected benefit obligation under the defined benefit pension plan, the valuation of deferred taxes, goodwill impairment and fair value of financial instruments. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations in these interim financial statements, have been made. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income.

Recent Significant Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) – Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” This ASU requires entities to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The amendments in this ASU clarify the scope for derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to netting arrangements. An entity is required to apply the amendments for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The amendments in this ASU require an entity to present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, the amendments require a cross-reference to other disclosures currently required for other reclassification items to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. Companies should apply these amendments for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2012. The Company has included the required disclosures from ASU 2013-02 in the consolidated financial statements.

There are no securities classified as “Held to Maturity” or “Trading” at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. The Company’s mortgage-backed securities consist entirely of residential mortgage-backed securities. The Company does not hold any commercial mortgage-backed securities. The Company’s mortgage-backed securities are all agency backed and rated Aaa and AA+ by Moody and S&P, respectively, with no subprime issues.

The Company’s pooled trust preferred securities include one senior issue of Preferred Term Securities XXVII which is current on all payments and on which the Company took an impairment charge in the third quarter of 2009 to reduce the Company’s book value to the market value at September 30, 2009. As of March 31, 2013, that security has an estimated fair value that is $156 thousand greater than its amortized cost after impairment. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company recognized an impairment charge in the amount of $77 thousand on the Company’s investment in Preferred Term Securities XXIII mezzanine tranche, thus reducing the book value of this investment to $0. The decision to recognize the other-than-temporary impairment was based upon an analysis of the market value of the discounted cash flow for the security as provided by Moody’s at June 30, 2010, which indicated that the Company was unlikely to recover any of its remaining investment in these securities.

* The combined unrealized loss on these securities was less than $1 thousand.

The Company reviews the investment securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to monitor its exposure to other-than-temporary impairment that may result due to adverse economic conditions and associated credit deterioration. A determination as to whether a security’s decline in market value is other-than-temporary takes into consideration numerous factors and the relative significance of any single factor can vary by security. Some factors the Company may consider in the other-than-temporary impairment analysis include the length of time the security has been in an unrealized loss position, changes in security ratings, financial condition of the issuer, as well as security and industry specific economic conditions. In addition, the Company may also evaluate payment structure, whether there are defaulted payments or expected defaults, prepayment speeds, and the value of any underlying collateral. For certain securities in unrealized loss positions, the Company will enlist independent third-party firms to prepare cash flow analyses to compare the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security.

Table of Contents

Based on the Company’s evaluation, management does not believe any unrealized loss at March 31, 2013 represents an other-than-temporary impairment as these unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and current financial market conditions, and are not attributable to credit deterioration. At March 31, 2013, there are 85 debt securities with fair values totaling $113.7 million considered temporarily impaired. Of these debt securities, all were in an unrealized loss position of less than 12 months. Because the Company intends to hold these investments in debt securities until recovery of the amortized cost basis and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of unrealized losses, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2013 and no impairment has been recognized. At March 31, 2013, there are no equity securities in an unrealized loss position.

Securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2012, by duration of the period of the unrealized loss, are shown below:

The Company’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) stock totaled $6.6 million and $6.9 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment and as a restricted investment security, which is carried at cost, because there is no market for the stock other than the FHLBs or member institutions. Therefore, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Because the FHLB generated positive net income for each quarterly period beginning January 1, 2010, and ending March 31, 2013, the Company does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2013 and no impairment has been recognized. FHLB stock is included in a separate line item on the consolidated balance sheets (Restricted securities, at cost) and is not part of the Company’s securities available for sale portfolio.

Note 4. Deferred Income Taxes

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had recorded net deferred income tax assets of approximately $10.7 million, respectively. The realization of deferred income tax assets is assessed and a valuation allowance is recorded if it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. “More likely than not” is defined as greater than a 50% chance. Management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. Management’s assessment is primarily dependent on historical taxable income and projections of future taxable income, which are directly related to the Company’s core earnings capacity and its prospects to generate core earnings in the future. Projections of core earnings and taxable income are inherently subject to uncertainty and estimates that may change given the uncertain economic outlook, banking industry conditions and other factors. Further, management has considered future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and limited, prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies, such as, changes in investment security income (tax-exempt to taxable), additional sales of loans and sales of branches/buildings with an appreciated asset value over the tax basis. Based upon an analysis of available evidence, management has determined that it is “more likely than not” that the Company’s deferred income tax assets as of March 31, 2013 will be fully realized and therefore no valuation allowance to the Company’s deferred income tax assets was recorded. However, the Company can give no assurance that in the future its deferred income tax assets will not be impaired because such determination is based on projections of future earnings and the possible effect of certain transactions, which are subject to uncertainty and based on estimates that may change due to changing economic conditions and other factors. Due to the uncertainty of estimates and projections, it is possible that the Company will be required to record adjustments to the valuation allowance in future reporting periods.

Due primarily to the net operating loss incurred for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has recorded income taxes receivable, which have been carried back to prior years, of approximately $2.6 million at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Depreciation and amortization of bank premises and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $511 thousand and $547 thousand, respectively.

Note 6. Borrowings

Federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements. The Company has unsecured lines of credit with SunTrust Bank, Community Bankers Bank and Pacific Coast Bankers Bank for the purchase of federal funds in the amount of $20.0 million, $15.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively. These lines of credit have a variable rate based on the lending bank’s daily federal funds sold rate and are due on demand. Repurchase agreements are secured transactions and generally mature the day following the day sold. Customer repurchases are standard transactions that involve a Bank customer instead of a wholesale bank or broker. The Company offers this product as an accommodation to larger retail and commercial customers that request safety for their funds beyond the FDIC deposit insurance limits. The Company does not use or have any open repurchase agreements with broker-dealers.

The tables below present selected information on federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012:

The Company’s line of credit with the FHLB can equal up to 25% of the Company’s assets or approximately $268.8 million at March 31, 2013. This line of credit totaled $182.5 million with approximately $58.5 million available at March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, loans with a carrying value of $303.5 million and $297.7 million, respectively, are pledged to the FHLB as collateral for borrowings. Additional loans are available that can be pledged as collateral for future borrowings from the FHLB above the current lendable collateral value. Combined long-term borrowings outstanding under the FHLB line of credit were $117.5 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Note 7. Earnings Per Common Share

The following table shows the weighted average number of common shares used in computing earnings per common share and the effect on the weighted average number of shares of potential dilutive common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. Potential dilutive common stock had no effect on earnings per common share otherwise available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

At March 31, 2013 and 2012, options to acquire 179,912 and 216,442 shares of common stock, respectively were not included in computing diluted earnings per common share because their effects were anti-dilutive.

Note 8. Stock Based Compensation Plans

On September 21, 2000, the Company 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 the Company, thereby stimulating their efforts and strengthening their desire to remain with the Company. Under the 2000 Plan, up to 400,000 shares of Company common stock could be granted in the form of stock options. On April 17, 2003, the shareholders approved the Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, amending and restating the 2000 Plan (the “2003 Plan”) still authorizing the issuance of up to 400,000 shares of common stock under the plan, but expanding the award types available under the plan to include stock options, stock appreciation rights, common stock, restricted stock and phantom stock. There were 135,843 shares still available to be granted as awards under the 2003 Plan as of March 31, 2013.

On April 19, 2007, the Company’s shareholders approved the Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. 2007 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”) to enhance the Company’s ability to recruit and retain officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors

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 pursuant to grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, common stock, restricted stock, performance shares, incentive awards and stock units. There were 366,000 shares still available to be granted as awards under the 2007 Plan as of March 31, 2013.

Accounting standards require 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.

Accounting standards also require 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. The Company’s stock options granted to eligible participants 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 months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, stock option compensation expense was $0 and $11 thousand, respectively, and was included in salaries and employee benefits expense in the consolidated statements of income.

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 option award. There were no stock options granted or exercised in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

The Company issued no restricted stock for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. On June 29, 2012, the Company granted 34,000 shares of restricted stock under the 2007 Plan to its executive officers in connection with TARP compliant

restricted stock awards. All of these shares are subject to time vesting over a five year period, and generally vest 40% on the second anniversary of the grant date and 20% on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. On July 1, 2009, the Company awarded 18,000 shares of restricted stock to employees who were not subject to the TARP executive compensation restrictions. One half of these shares are subject to time vesting at 20% per year over a five year period. The other half of the 18,000 restricted shares granted on July 1, 2009 were performance based. On December 16, 2010, the Company cancelled 8,000 shares of restricted stock previously awarded to its Chief Executive Officer on July 1, 2009 as the award did not contain the terms necessary to comply with the TARP executive compensation restrictions and therefore prevented the employee from accruing or vesting in any portion of the award. In conjunction with this cancellation, the Company granted a TARP compliant restricted stock award to its Chief Executive Officer in an equal amount of shares and in substantially the same form as previously awarded. On June 30, 2012, any of these performance based shares that had not previously been forfeited for other reasons were forfeited because the Company’s financial achievements for the year ended December 31, 2011 did not meet pre-specified targets for earnings per share or return on equity compared to a defined peer group.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, restricted stock compensation expense was $7 thousand and $3 thousand, respectively, and was included in salaries and employee benefits expense in the consolidated statements of income. Restricted stock compensation expense is accounted for using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the restricted shares were awarded, which was $3.72 per share for the 2012 award, $3.75 per share for the 2010 award and $8.31 per share for the 2009 awards.

A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested shares in relation to the Company’s restricted stock awards as of March 31, 2013, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2013, is presented below; the weighted average price is the weighted average fair value at the date of grant:

Note 9. Employee Benefit Plan – Pension

The Company has historically maintained a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of the Company’s employees. 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 plan. No additional participants have been added to the plan. The plan was again amended February 28, 2011 to freeze the plan with no additional contributions for grandfathered participants. Benefits for all participants have remained frozen in the plan since such action was taken. Effective January 1, 2012, the plan was amended and restated as a cash balance plan. Under a cash balance plan, participant benefits are stated as an account balance. An opening account balance was established for each participant based on the lump sum value of his or her accrued benefit as of December 31, 2011 in the original defined benefit pension plan. Each participants account will be credited with an “interest” credit each year. The interest rate for each year is determined as the average annual interest rate on the 2 year U.S. Treasury securities for the month of December preceding the plan year. Components of net periodic pension cost (benefit) related to the Company’s pension plan were as follows for the periods indicated:

The Company made no contributions to the pension plan during 2012. The Company has not determined at this time how much, if any, contributions to the plan will be made for the year ending December 31, 2013.

Note 10. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. U.S. GAAP requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. U.S. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in one of the three levels. These levels are:

 

   

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

   

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 3 – Valuation is determined using model-based techniques with significant assumptions not observable in the market.

U.S. GAAP allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value (the fair value option) for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company has not made any fair value option elections as of March 31, 2013.

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.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

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 consider observable market data (Level 2). In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Currently, all of the Company’s available for sale securities are considered to be Level 2 securities.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-fair value accounting or impairment write-downs of individual assets.

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. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral value is significantly adjusted due to differences in the comparable properties, or is discounted by the Company because of marketability, 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’s financial statements if not considered significant. 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 non-recurring 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. Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is measured at fair value less cost to sell, based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company. If the collateral value is significantly adjusted due to differences in the comparable properties, or is discounted by the Company because of marketability, then the fair value is considered Level 3. OREO is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Any initial fair value adjustment is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and included in other noninterest expense on the consolidated statements of income.

The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies and assumptions for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies and assumptions for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:

Cash and Short-Term Investments. For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment 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.

Restricted Securities. The carrying amount approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the correspondent banks.

Loans. The fair value of performing loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar remaining maturities. This calculation ignores loan fees and certain factors affecting the interest rates charged on various loans such as the borrower’s creditworthiness and compensating balances and dissimilar types of real estate held as collateral. The fair value of impaired loans is measured as described within the Impaired Loans section of this note.

Deposits. 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 Borrowings. The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable. 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. The fair value of guarantees of credit card accounts previously sold is based on the estimated cost to settle the obligations with the counterparty at the reporting date. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of loan commitments, standby letters of credit and credit card guarantees are not significant and are not included in the table below.

The estimated fair value and the carrying value of the Company’s recorded financial instruments are as follows:

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

Note 11. Preferred Stock and Warrant

On January 9, 2009, the Company signed a definitive agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 to participate in the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company sold 24,000 shares of its Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock to the Treasury for an aggregate purchase price of $24 million. This preferred stock pays a cumulative dividend at a rate of 5% for the first five years, and if not redeemed, pays a rate of 9% starting at the beginning of the sixth year. As part of its purchase of the preferred stock, the Treasury was also issued a warrant to purchase up to 373,832 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $9.63 per share. If not exercised, the warrant expires after ten years. Under the agreement with the Treasury, the Company was subject to restrictions on its ability to increase the dividend rate on its common stock and to repurchase its common stock without Treasury consent prior to January 9, 2012.

Accounting for the issuance of preferred stock included entries to the equity portion of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet to recognize preferred stock at the full amount of the issuance, the warrant and discount on preferred stock at values calculated by discounting the future cash flows by a prevailing interest rate that a similar security would receive in the current market

environment. At the time of issuance, that discount rate was determined to be 12%. The fair value of the warrant of $950 thousand was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with inputs of 7 year volatility, average rate of quarterly dividends, 7 year Treasury strip rate and the exercise price of $9.63 per share exercisable for up to 10 years. The present value of the preferred stock using a 12% discount rate was $14.4 million. The preferred stock discount determined by the allocation of discount to the warrant is being accreted quarterly over a 5 year period on a constant effective yield method at a rate of approximately 6.4%. Allocation of the preferred stock discount and the warrant as of January 9, 2009 is provided in the tables below:

On February 17, 2011, the Company entered into a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“Reserve Bank”) and Bureau. Under the terms of this written agreement, the Parent and the Bank are subject to additional limitations and regulatory restrictions and may not declare or pay dividends to its shareholders (including payments by the Parent related to trust preferred securities) without prior regulatory approval. See Note 14 – Formal Written Agreement.

On May 15, 2013, the Company deferred its tenth consecutive dividend on the preferred stock issued to the Treasury. Deferral of dividends on the preferred stock does not constitute an event of default. Dividends on the preferred stock are, however, cumulative, and the Company has accumulated the dividends in accordance with the terms of the preferred stock and U.S. GAAP and reflected the accumulated dividends as a portion of the effective dividend on preferred stock on the consolidated statements of income. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had accumulated $2.7 million for dividends on the preferred stock. In addition, if dividends on the preferred stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly dividend periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of directors on the Company’s board automatically increases by two. In such a case, the Treasury (or the then current holders of the preferred stock) has the right, voting as a class, to elect two directors to the Company’s board at the next annual meeting (or at a special meeting called for that purpose) and at every subsequent annual meeting until all owed and unpaid dividends on the preferred stock have been paid. In April 2012, the Treasury assigned an observer to attend the Company’s board meetings, in part to determine whether and how to exercise this right, but to date the Treasury has not yet exercised this right.

Note 12. Trust Preferred Debt

On September 17, 2003, $10 million of trust preferred securities were placed through EVB Statutory Trust I in a pooled underwriting totaling approximately $650 million. The trust issuer has invested the total proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities in Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the “Junior Subordinated Debentures”) issued by the Parent. The trust preferred securities pay cumulative cash distributions quarterly at a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 2.95%. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the interest rate was 3.23% and 3.26%, respectively. The dividends paid to holders of the trust preferred securities, which are recorded as interest expense, are deductible for income tax purposes. The trust preferred securities have a mandatory redemption date of September 17, 2033,

and became subject to varying call provisions beginning September 17, 2008. The Parent has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the trust preferred securities through the combined operation of the debentures and other related documents. The Parent’s obligation under the guarantee is unsecured and subordinate to senior and subordinated indebtedness of the Parent.

The trust preferred securities may be included in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy determination purposes up to 25% of Tier 1 capital after its inclusion. The portion of the securities not considered as Tier 1 capital will be included in Tier 2 capital. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, all of the trust preferred securities qualified as Tier 1 capital. For additional information on proposed rules that, if implemented, will impact the regulatory capital treatment of trust preferred securities, see Note 13 – Capital Requirements and Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “Capital Resources.”

Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company is permitted to elect from time to time to defer regularly scheduled interest payments on its outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures relating to its trust preferred securities. If the Company defers interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for more than 20 consecutive quarters, the Company would be in default under the governing agreements for such notes and the amount due under such agreements would be immediately due and payable.

On February 17, 2011, the Company entered into a written agreement with the Reserve Bank and the Bureau. Under the terms of this written agreement, the Company may not make payments on its outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures relating to the trust preferred securities without prior regulatory approval. See Note 14 – Formal Written Agreement.

The Company received regulatory permission to pay the interest payment on its outstanding Junior Subordinated Notes regularly scheduled for March 2011. In June 2011, the Company began deferring its regularly scheduled interest payments on its outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures relating to its trust preferred securities. As of March 31, 2013, the Company has deferred eight quarterly interest payments on its outstanding Junior Subordinated Notes.

Note 13. Capital Requirements

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

On February 17, 2011, the Company entered into a written agreement with the Reserve Bank and Bureau. Under the terms of this written agreement, the Parent and the Bank are subject to additional limitations and regulatory restrictions and may not declare or pay dividends to its shareholders (including payments by the Parent on its trust preferred securities) and may not purchase or redeem shares of its stock without prior regulatory approval. See Note 14 – Formal Written Agreement.

The Federal Reserve, acting in concert with the other federal banking regulatory agencies, has published proposed rules that, if adopted, would generally implement the Basel III capital standards and impose upon bank holding companies with under $15 billion in total consolidated assets a 10 year phase-out period for trust preferred securities from Tier 1 capital. The federal banking agencies have delayed implementation of the Basel III capital standards and related changes to risk-weighted assets calculations. The timing for the agencies’ publication of revised proposed rules regarding, or final rules to implement, the Basel III capital standards and related changes to risk-weighted assets calculations is unclear.

As of March 31, 2013, the most recent notification from the Reserve Bank categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. A comparison of the March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 capital ratios of the Company and the Bank with minimum regulatory guidelines is as follows:

Note 14. Formal Written Agreement

Effective February 17, 2011, the Company and the Bank entered into a Written Agreement (the “Written Agreement”) with the Reserve Bank and the Bureau.

Under the terms of the Written Agreement, the Bank has agreed to develop and submit for approval within the time periods specified therein written plans to: (a) strengthen board oversight of management and the Bank’s operation; (b) strengthen credit risk management practices; (c) enhance lending and credit administration; (d) enhance the grading of the Bank’s loan portfolio; (e) improve the Bank’s position with respect to loans, relationships, or other assets in excess of $900 thousand which are now or in the future become past due more than 90 days, which are on the Bank’s problem loan list, or which are adversely classified in any report of examination of the Bank; (f) review and revise the Bank’s methodology for determining the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) and maintain an adequate ALLL; (g) enhance the Bank’s written internal audit program; (h) enhance management of the Bank’s liquidity position and funds management practices; (i) establish a revised contingency funding plan; (j) establish a revised investment policy; and (k) strengthen information technology.

 

34


Table of Contents

In addition, the Bank has agreed that it will: (a) not extend, renew, or restructure any credit that has been criticized by the Reserve Bank or the Bureau absent prior board of directors approval in accordance with the restrictions in the Written Agreement; and (b) eliminate all assets or portions of assets classified as “loss” and thereafter charge off all assets classified as “loss” in a federal or state report of examination, unless otherwise approved by the Reserve Bank.

Under the terms of the Written Agreement, both the Company and the Bank have agreed to submit capital plans to maintain sufficient capital at the Company, on a consolidated basis, and the Bank, on a stand-alone basis, and to refrain from declaring or paying dividends without prior regulatory approval. The Company has agreed that it will not take any other form of payment representing a reduction in the Bank’s capital or make any distributions of interest, principal, or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without prior regulatory approval. The Company may not incur, increase or guarantee any debt without prior regulatory approval and has agreed not to purchase or redeem any shares of its stock without prior regulatory approval.

To date, the Company and the Bank have met all of the deadlines for taking actions required by the Reserve Bank and Bureau under the terms of the Written Agreement. The Company has established a Regulatory Compliance Oversight Committee (the “RCOC”) to oversee the implementation of certain corrective actions necessary to improve the operations and financial results of the Company in light of findings from a prior regulatory examination and to comply with the Written Agreement. On behalf of the Company’s Board of Directors, the RCOC acts to ensure that the Bank cures the noted deficiencies. The RCOC continues to meet at least once a quarter as the remediation process progresses. Management believes, as of March 31, 2013, that the Company and Bank are in full or substantial compliance with the terms of the Written Agreement.

See Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Capital Management and Written Agreement” for more information on the Company’s efforts to comply with the terms of the Written Agreement.

Reclassifications of gains on securities available for sale are reported in the consolidated statements of income as “Gain on sale of available for sale securities, net” with the corresponding income tax effect being reflected as a component of income tax expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company reported a gain on the sale of available for sale securities of $467 thousand and $2.5 million, respectively; the tax effect of these transactions was $159 thousand and $861 thousand, respectively, which was included as a component of income tax expense.

Note 16. Subsequent Events

As previously disclosed, on March 26, 2013, the Company announced that it entered into securities purchase agreements with certain institutional investors pursuant to which it expects to raise aggregate gross proceeds of $45.0 million through private placements of 4,649,919 shares of common stock and 5,240,192 shares of a new series of non-voting mandatorily convertible non-cumulative preferred stock, each at $4.55 per share (such transactions, the “Private Placements”). The closing of the Private Placements is subject to shareholder approval and other conditions, and, if such conditions are satisfied or waived, the Company expects the Private Placements to close during the second quarter of 2013.

The Company also announced plans to conduct a $5.0 million rights offering to allow existing holders of Company common stock to purchase common stock at the same purchase price per share as the investors in the Private Placements (such offering, the “Rights Offering”, and together with the Private Placements, the “2013 Capital Initiative”). The closing of the Rights Offering will be conditioned on the closing of the Private Placements. On April 18, 2013, the Company announced that it had set 5:00 p.m. eastern time on May 3, 2013 as the record date for the Rights Offering. On April 24, 2013, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with respect to the Rights Offering.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions. Those accounting policies with the greatest uncertainty and that require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments affecting the application of these policies, and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions, or using different assumptions, are described below.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company establishes the allowance for loan losses through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe that the collection of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries of losses previously charged against the allowance are credited to the allowance. The allowance represents an amount that, in our judgment, will be adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Our judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectability of loans while taking into consideration such factors as trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay and the value of collateral, overall portfolio quality and review of specific potential losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective because it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. For more information see the section titled “Asset Quality” within this Item 2.

Impairment of Loans

The Company considers a loan impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company does not consider a loan impaired during a period of insignificant payment shortfalls if we expect the ultimate collection of all amounts due. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for real estate (including multifamily residential, construction, farmland and non-farm, non-residential) and commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, representing consumer, one to four family residential first and seconds and home equity lines, are collectively evaluated for impairment. The Company maintains a valuation allowance to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment. Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are also considered impaired loans. A TDR occurs when the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial condition, grants a concession (including, without limitation, rate reductions to below-market rates, payment deferrals, forbearance and, in some cases, forgiveness of principal or interest) to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. For more information see the section titled “Asset Quality” within this Item 2.

Impairment of Securities

Impairment of securities occurs when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost. For debt securities, impairment is considered other-than-temporary and recognized in its entirety in net income if either (i) the Company intends to sell the security or (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If, however, the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, the Company must determine what portion of the impairment is attributable to a credit loss, which occurs when the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security. If there is no credit loss, there is no other-than-temporary impairment. If there is a credit loss, other-than-temporary impairment exists, and the credit loss must be recognized in net income and the remaining portion of impairment must be recognized in other comprehensive income. For equity securities, impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary based on the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment until a recovery of fair value. Other-than-temporary impairment of an equity security results in a write-down that must be included in net income. The Company regularly reviews each investment security for other-than-temporary impairment based on criteria that include the extent to which cost exceeds market price, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer, the Company’s best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from debt securities, the Company’s intention with regard to holding the security to maturity and the likelihood that the Company would be required to sell the security before recovery.

Other Real Estate Owned

Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure is held for sale and is stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair market value of the property, less estimated disposal costs, if any. Any excess of cost over the estimated fair market value less costs to sell at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. The estimated fair market value is reviewed periodically by management and any write-downs are charged against current earnings.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment tests on at least an annual basis or earlier whenever an event occurs indicating that goodwill may be impaired. In assessing the recoverability of the Company’s goodwill, all of which was recognized in connection with the acquisition of branches in 2003 and 2008, we must make assumptions in order to determine the fair value of the respective assets. Major assumptions used in the impairment analysis were discounted cash flows, merger and acquisition transaction values (including as compared to tangible book value), and stock market capitalization. The Company completed the annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2012 and determined there was no impairment to be recognized in 2012. If the underlying estimates and related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges.

Retirement Plan

The Company has historically maintained a defined benefit pension plan. Effective January 28, 2008, the Company took action 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 plan. No additional participants have been added to the plan. The plan was again amended on February 28, 2011 to freeze the plan with no additional contributions for grandfathered participants. Benefits for all participants have remained frozen in the plan since such action was taken. Effective January 1, 2012, the plan was amended and restated as a cash balance plan. Under a cash balance plan, participant benefits are stated as an account balance. An opening account balance was established for each participant based on the lump sum value of his or her accrued benefit as of December 31, 2011 in the original defined benefit pension plan. Each participant’s account will be credited with an “interest” credit each year. The interest rate for each year is determined as the average annual interest rate on the 2 year U.S. Treasury securities for the month of December preceding the plan year. Plan assets, which consist primarily of mutual funds invested in marketable equity securities and corporate and government fixed income securities, are valued using market quotations. The Company’s actuary determines plan obligations and annual pension expense using a number of key assumptions. Key assumptions may include the discount rate, the estimated return on plan assets and the anticipated rate of compensation increases. Changes in these assumptions in the future, if any, or in the method under which benefits are calculated may impact pension assets, liabilities or expense.

Accounting for Income Taxes

Determining the Company’s effective tax rate requires judgment. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax outcomes are uncertain. In addition, the Company’s tax returns are subject to audit by various tax authorities. Although we believe that the estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome will not be materially different than that which is reflected in the income tax provision and accrual.

For further information concerning accounting policies, refer to Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” under the heading “Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Executive Overview

Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. is committed to delivering strong long-term earnings using a prudent allocation of capital, in business lines where we have demonstrated the ability to compete successfully. During the first three months of 2013, the national and local economies continued to show limited signs of recovery with the main challenges continuing to be persistent unemployment above historical levels and uneven economic growth. Macro-economic and political issues continue to temper the global economic outlook and as such the Company remains cautiously optimistic regarding the limited signs of improvement seen in our local markets. Despite this, the Company believes that our local markets are poised for stronger growth in the coming months and years than the economic recovery in our markets in recent periods. Much of the Company’s success during the first

quarter of 2013 is the direct result of our asset quality improvements, as the current interest rate environment continues to negatively impact our margin. The Company continues to execute on a plan which it believes is critical to its success in the near term including closely monitoring and aggressively addressing asset quality issues, containing noninterest expenses and lowering our cost of funding. The Company was able to achieve its goals related to this plan during the first quarter of 2013 as we reduced nonperforming assets by 14.1% from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013, noninterest expenses by 2.2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 and lowered our cost of deposits to 0.71%, compared to 0.76% in the fourth quarter of 2012. With the close of the first quarter of 2013, the Company is not only reporting its ninth straight quarter of net income, but its seventh straight quarter of improved net income.

2013 Capital Initiative and Strategic Initiatives

As previously disclosed, on March 26, 2013, the Company announced that it entered into securities purchase agreements with certain institutional investors pursuant to which it expects to raise aggregate gross proceeds of $45.0 million through private placements of approximately 4.6 million shares of common stock and approximately 5.2 million shares of a new series of non- voting mandatorily convertible non-cumulative preferred stock, each at $4.55 per share (such transactions, the “Private Placements”). The closing of the Private Placements is subject to shareholder approval and other conditions, and, if such conditions are satisfied or waived, the Company expects the Private Placements to close during the second quarter of 2013.

The Company also announced plans to conduct a $5.0 million rights offering to allow existing holders of Company common stock to purchase common stock at the same purchase price per share as the investors in the Private Placements (such offering, the “Rights Offering”, and together with the Private Placements, the “2013 Capital Initiative”). The closing of the Rights Offering will be conditioned on the closing of the Private Placements. On April 24, 2013, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with respect to the Rights Offering.

The Company intends to use the gross proceeds from the 2013 Capital Initiative for general corporate purposes, including strengthening its balance sheet, the accelerated resolution and disposition of assets adversely classified by the Company (consisting of other real estate owned and classified loans), the optimization of the Company’s balance sheet through the restructuring of FHLB advances and the eventual repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock that was issued to Treasury through TARP. The Company also expects that the 2013 Capital Initiative will better position the Bank and the Company to expeditiously exit the Written Agreement, subject to necessary regulatory approvals. As the Company executes these business strategies, senior management and the board of directors will continue to evaluate other initiatives that they believe will best position the Company for long-term success.

Summary of First Quarter 2013 Operating Results and Financial Condition

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company’s net income increased by 32.7% when compared to the same period one year earlier. Even with this improvement, the Company’s earnings remain constrained due to the protracted low-interest rate environment, lingering credit quality issues and a lack of loan demand resulting from the challenging economic climate, all of which contribute to compressing the Company’s net interest margin. The Company had another strong quarter liquidating our troubled assets, reducing our classified assets and improving our overall asset quality. The Company continues to be aggressive in the liquidation of troubled assets and that approach is evident with the overall reduction as of March 31, 2013 of nonperforming assets by 14.1% compared to December 31, 2012 and 49.7% compared to March 31, 2012 through a combination of successful workouts and write-downs of previously identified impaired loans. The Company’s Special Assets Division, which was formed in the second quarter of 2011 and works closely with our Executive Management Asset Quality Committee, has worked tirelessly in formulating workout strategies and conducting asset dispositions. Despite our aggressive approach in liquidating troubled assets, the Company’s allowance for loan losses remains healthy, producing a ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans of 172.80% at March 31, 2013 compared to 171.29% at December 31, 2012. Additionally, the Company was able to reduce its ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans at March 31, 2013 to 1.68%, compared to 1.73% at December 31, 2012 while also reducing its ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets at March 31, 2013 to 1.31%. With an economic outlook consisting of modest growth, elevated unemployment and low interest rates in the near term, the Company continues to believe the primary drivers behind our continued improvement include focusing on asset quality issues, containing noninterest expenses and lowering our cost of funding while maintaining adequate levels of liquidity, reserves for credit losses and capital.

The primary drivers for the Company’s results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 continue to be the overall compression of its margins, the elevated levels of the provision for loan losses and FDIC insurance premiums, professional and collection/repossession expenses related to past due loans and nonperforming assets, and losses on the sale of other real estate owned. Sales of available for sale securities to adjust the composition of the Company’s investment portfolio during the first quarter of 2013 generated gains of $467 thousand, a significant decrease from gains of $2.5 million generated during the first quarter of 2012. The Company experienced a 63.2% decrease in the amount of net charge-offs during the first three months of 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012, while the provision for loan losses during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was down approximately 79.3% from the same period in 2012. This was due to improvements in some of the Company’s credit quality metrics, including continued decreases in the level of past due loans and nonperforming assets, and other factors, which are reflective of slowly improving economic conditions. Although the amount of provision declined, the Company’s provision for loan losses remains elevated compared to historical levels as we continue to experience historically high levels of nonperforming assets and charge-offs and aim to maintain an appropriate allowance for potential future loan losses. The Company believes the investments it has made since 2010 to reduce nonperforming assets and enhance our internal monitoring systems will significantly enhance the long-term credit quality of our loan portfolio and properly position us to deliver stronger earnings as we move forward once the economic climate improves.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the following key points were significant factors in our reported results:

 

   

Provision expense for the allowance for loan losses of $600 thousand compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2012.

 

   

Net charge-offs of $1.4 million to write off uncollectible balances on nonperforming assets.

 

   

Decrease in nonperforming assets by $2.3 million during the first quarter of 2013.

 

   

Gain on the sale of available for sale securities of $467 thousand resulting from adjustments in the composition of the investment portfolio as part of the Company’s overall asset/liability management strategy.

 

   

Decrease in net interest income by $413 thousand from the same period in 2012.

 

   

Impairment losses of $10 thousand related to valuation adjustments on other real estate owned, compared to $615 thousand for the same period in 2012.

 

   

Losses of $37 thousand on the sale of other real estate owned, compared to $73 thousand for the same period in 2012.

 

   

Expenses related to salaries and employee benefits of $4.1 million, compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2012.

 

   

Expenses related to FDIC insurance premiums of $587 thousand, compared to $588 thousand for the same period in 2012.

 

   

Expenses related to collection, repossession and other real estate owned of $126 thousand, compared to $305 thousand for the same period in 2012.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the reported net income of $1.1 million and $814 thousand, respectively equate to the following performance metrics:

 

   

On net income available to common shareholders, Annualized Return on Average Assets (ROA) of 0.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 which compares to ROA of 0.17% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

   

On net income available to common shareholders, Annualized Return on Average Common Shareholders’ Equity (ROE) of 3.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 which compares to ROE of 2.44% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

   

On a per share basis, the diluted and basic income per common share (EPS) is $0.12 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 which compares to an EPS of $0.07 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Although the Company’s operating results improved for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period of 2012, the Company’s performance still lags behind its strong earnings history. The Company remains unsatisfied with these financial results and continues to focus on credit quality initiatives. The Company believes that these initiatives, in combination with our 2013 Capital Initiative and related business strategies, will ultimately result in an improvement in our asset quality and allow the Company to focus greater resources on growing its franchise and delivering financial results more consistent with its long-term history. As detailed later in this Item 2 under the caption “Asset Quality”, the Company continues to work on the timely resolution of its nonperforming assets but expects that additional charge-offs are likely. However, the Company believes that the loan loss reserves set aside during the first three months of 2013 should be sufficient to cover its known credit issues under current economic conditions. Any further deterioration of economic conditions or credit quality could possibly require the adjustment of its provision for loan losses to reserve against additional charge-offs.

Capital Management and Written Agreement

As we first reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for March 31, 2011, the Company has taken actions to preserve capital by deferring its regular quarterly cash dividend with respect to its Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) which the Company issued to the United States Department of Treasury in connection with the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program in January 2009. On May 15, 2013, the Company deferred its tenth consecutive dividend on the preferred stock issued to the Treasury. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had accumulated $2.7 million for dividends on the preferred stock. Because dividends on the preferred stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly dividend periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the Treasury (or the then current holders of the preferred stock) has the right, voting as a class, to elect two directors to the Company’s board at the next annual meeting (or at a special meeting called for that purpose) and at every subsequent annual meeting until all owed and unpaid dividends on the preferred stock have been paid. In April 2012, the Treasury assigned an observer to attend the Company’s board meetings, in part to determine whether and how to exercise this right, but to date the Treasury has not yet exercised this right to elect directors.

Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company is permitted to elect from time to time to defer regularly scheduled interest payments on its outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures relating to its trust preferred securities. If the Company defers interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures for more than 20 consecutive quarters, the Company would be in default under the governing agreements for such notes and the amount due under such agreements would be immediately due and payable. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company began deferring its regularly scheduled interest payments on its outstanding Junior Subordinated Debentures relating to its trust preferred securities. While the interest expense associated with this source of regulatory capital continues to be reflected in the Company’s earnings, the deferred payments represent a subordinated liability to other creditors of the Company. As of March 31, 2013, the Company has deferred eight quarterly payments totaling $711 thousand for interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

The actions to suspend and defer dividend and interest payments to preserve capital, while difficult, are necessary to ensure the financial strength of the Company. Despite the Company’s significant challenges over the last several years, the Company has maintained its regulatory well capitalized status and it believes that maintaining this status is critically important for the long-term value of the Company. As economic conditions improve, and as the Company is able to generate earnings to support its current and future capital needs, the Company plans to restore its common and Preferred Stock dividends, as well as interest payments on its Junior Subordinated Debentures.

As previously disclosed, on February 17, 2011, the Company and the Bank entered into a Written Agreement with the Reserve Bank and the Bureau. The purpose of this agreement is to formally document the common goal of the Company, the Bank and the regulatory agencies to maintain the financial soundness of the Company and the Bank. This agreement contains many of the steps that the Company had already initiated during 2010 and 2011 to address its deteriorating asset quality and associated challenges brought on during the economic recession. Among other things, the agreement addresses improving board oversight of the management and administration of the Company’s operations, including improving credit risk management processes, lending and credit administration processes, the quality of the loan and asset portfolios and processes to manage the quality of these portfolios, and the balance of and processes related to loan loss reserves. To date, the Company and the Bank have met all of the deadlines for taking actions required by the Reserve Bank and the Bureau under the terms of the Written Agreement. The Company has established the RCOC to oversee the implementation of certain corrective actions necessary to improve the operations and financial results of the Company in light of findings from a prior regulatory examination and to comply with the Written Agreement. On behalf of the Company’s Board of Directors, the RCOC acts to ensure that the Bank cures the noted deficiencies. The RCOC continues to meet at least once a quarter as the remediation process progresses. Management believes, as of March 31, 2013, that the Company and Bank are in full or substantial compliance with the terms of the Written Agreement. For further information concerning the Written Agreement, refer to Item 1. “Financial Statements,” under the heading “Note 14. Formal Written Agreement.”

Results of Operations

As discussed under the caption “Executive Overview” above, the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were primarily driven by the overall compression of its margins, as yields on most segments of earning assets decreased, the elevated level of the provision for loan losses and FDIC insurance premiums over historical amounts, gains generated by sales of available for sale securities, professional and collection/repossession expenses related to past due loans and nonperforming assets, and losses on the sale of other real estate owned. Credit quality continues to receive significant

management attention to ensure that we continue to identify credit problems and improve the quality of our asset portfolio, with reduced levels of nonperforming assets from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2013 demonstrating our positive asset quality progress. The Company remains diligent and focused on the management of our credit quality and is fully committed to quickly and aggressively addressing our problem credits. Additional analysis and breakout of our nonperforming assets are presented later in this Item 2 under the caption “Asset Quality”. The remainder of this analysis discusses the results of operations under the component sections of net interest income and net interest margin, noninterest income, noninterest expense and income taxes.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, the fundamental source of the Company’s earnings, is defined as the difference between income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Significant categories of earning assets are loans and investment securities, while deposits and long-term borrowings represent the major portion of interest bearing liabilities. The level of net interest income is impacted primarily by variations in the volume and mix of these assets and liabilities, as well as changes in interest rates when compared to previous periods of operations and the yield of our interest earning assets compared to our cost of funding these assets.

Table 1 presents the average interest earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities, the average yields earned on such assets (on a tax equivalent basis) and rates paid on such liabilities, and the net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

For comparative purposes, income from tax-exempt securities is adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 34% and adjusted by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (“TEFRA”) adjustment. This latter adjustment is 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. The net interest margin is calculated by expressing tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets, and represents the Company’s net yield on its earning assets. Net interest margin is an indicator of the Company’s effectiveness in generating income from its earning assets. The net interest margin is affected by the structure of the balance sheet as well as by competitive pressures, Federal Reserve Board policies and the economy. The spread that can be earned between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities is also dependent to a large extent on the slope of the yield curve, which in recent periods has been significantly impacted by initiatives of the Federal Reserve Board intended to depress long-term interest rates.

Net interest income, on a fully tax equivalent basis, decreased $526 thousand or 6.1% to $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, down from $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Total average earning assets increased $11.3 million or 1.1% from $1.00 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $1.01 billion for the same period of 2013. Total average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $2.8 million or 0.3% from $858.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $856.1 million for the same period of 2013. The decrease in net interest income was driven by the change in the mix and pricing of the balance sheet components including the impacts of declining loan balances, increased short term investments and decreasing yields on the Company’s loan and investment portfolios, and partially offset by the Company’s expansion of its investment portfolio through purchases of principally lower-yielding securities during the first quarter of 2013 funded by excess liquidity. The impact of these changes was partially offset by decreases to the cost of all categories of interest-bearing liabilities. These shifts resulted in a decrease of 23 basis points in our net interest margin from 3.46% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 3.23% for the same period of 2013. The percentage of average earning assets to total average assets increased slightly to 93.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to 93.6% for the same period of 2012.

Total interest income, on a fully tax equivalent basis, decreased $1.1 million from $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $10.6 million for the same period of 2013. This was driven by a decline in the yield on interest earning assets from 4.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 4.25% for the same period of 2013, and partially offset by a slight increase in average earning assets over the same periods. The decreased yield on earning assets was primarily the result of reduced yields on the investment securities and loan portfolios, and a significant decrease in the average loan balances.

Average total loan balances decreased $56.1 million from $730.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $674.1 million for the same period of 2013. The yield on loans decreased to 5.39% for the first quarter of 2013 compared to 5.61% for the same period of 2012. This resulted in a $1.2 million drop in interest income generated by our largest earning asset category to $9.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to $10.2 million for the same period of 2012. Interest income generated by the loan portfolio decreased due to weak loan demand in our markets as a result of the continuing challenging

economic conditions, adjustments to our variable rate loans in the low interest rate environment, charge-offs, payment curtailments on outstanding loans and the sale of our credit card portfolio in September 2012. In addition, due to the historically low interest rate environment and intensified loan competition in our markets, loans are being originated at much lower yields which has contributed significantly to lower yields on the loan portfolio.

Average investment security balances increased $40.8 million from $247.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $288.0 million for the same period of 2013. While the average investment securities balance increased, the yield on securities declined 15 basis points from 2.45% for the first quarter of 2012 to 2.30% for the first quarter of 2013. The lower yield resulted from investment portfolio restructurings, accelerated prepayments on our Agency mortgage-backed and Agency CMO securities, principally due to the low rate environment and incentives for homeowners to refinance higher-rate mortgages, and our decision to invest in the first quarter of 2013 in lower risk, shorter duration securities which had corresponding lower yields. Average taxable investment securities increased $72.6 million from the first quarter of 2012 to the first quarter of 2013 and the yield on taxable securities increased from 1.94% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 2.17% for the same period of 2013, an increase of 23 basis points. Average tax exempt investment securities decreased $31.3 million from the first quarter of 2012 to the first quarter of 2013 and the yield on tax exempt securities decreased from 4.52% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 3.99% for the same period of 2013, a drop of 53 basis points.

In addition to deploying excess liquidity into the securities portfolio, we also deploy a portion of our excess funds into short term investments. Average interest bearing deposits in other banks increased $26.4 million from $23.7 million for the first quarter of 2012 to $50.1 million for the same period of 2013, and average federal funds sold also increased $173 thousand to $354 thousand during the first quarter of 2013 compared to $181 thousand for the same period of 2012. This increase in excess funds was due to the overall increase in our average deposits and difficulty strategically deploying excess liquidity in the low interest rate environment including difficulty funding new loans to creditworthy borrowers and identifying investment securities with suitable rates of return. In total, our average excess funds increased $26.6 million from the first quarter of 2012 to the first quarter of 2013.

Average interest bearing deposits decreased $3.3 million from $728.3 million for the first quarter of 2012 to $725.0 million for the first quarter of 2013. Changes within the mix of these balances and the corresponding decrease in the rates on deposits were significant drivers for the reduction in interest expense in the first quarter of 2013 related to interest-bearing deposits and helped to partially offset the contemporaneous decrease in our interest income. Our overall cost of funds decreased $564 thousand from the first quarter of 2012 to the first quarter of 2013, as the total rate for average interest-bearing deposits fell from 1.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 0.71% for the same period of 2013, a drop of 29 basis points. Retail deposits continued to shift from higher priced certificates of deposit to lower priced checking (or “NOW” accounts) and savings accounts. The largest increase from the first quarter of 2012 to the first quarter of 2013 was in our NOW accounts with an increase of $22.6 million in average balance and a corresponding average rate decrease of 18 basis points from 0.57% to 0.39% from the first quarter of 2012 to the first quarter of 2013. Our savings accounts had an increase of $4.9 million in average balance and a corresponding average rate decrease of 12 basis points from 0.30% to 0.18% for the same periods. Average large dollar certificates of deposit decreased $8.5 million from $135.3 million during the first quarter of 2012 to $126.8 million during the first quarter of 2013, and the average rate dropped 42 basis points from 1.80% in the first quarter of 2012 to 1.38% for the same period of 2013. The average balance of other certificates of deposit declined approximately $19.4 million from $152.4 million during the first quarter of 2012 to $133.0 million for the same period of 2013, with a simultaneous 41 basis point drop in average rate from 1.69% in the first quarter of 2012 to 1.28% for the same period of 2013.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income is comprised of all sources of income other than interest income on our earning assets. Significant revenue items include fees collected on certain deposit account transactions, debit and credit card fees, other general services, earnings from other investments we own in part or in full, gains or losses from investments, and gains or losses on sales of investments, loans, and fixed assets.

The following table depicts noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $1.9 million, a decrease of $2.0 million or 50.1% over the noninterest income of $3.9 million for the same period of 2012. The decrease in this component was caused by the following events:

 

   

Sales of available for sale securities generated net gains of $467 thousand in the first quarter of 2013, a decrease of $2.1 million or 81.5% from net gains of $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2012. During the first quarter of 2012 the Company began to strategically adjust the composition of its investment portfolio by reducing its holdings of tax-exempt securities in an effort to increase the Company’s source of taxable income. To implement this strategy the Company sold tax-exempt securities issued by state and political subdivisions during the first quarter of 2012, many of which were in an unrealized gain position at the time of sale, and deployed the proceeds into taxable investment securities issued by state and political subdivisions as well as Agency mortgage-backed and Agency CMO securities. Many of these securities were in an unrealized gain position at the time of sale due to the low interest rate environment, which is principally due to current economic conditions and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve to further reduce interest rates. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company continued to adjust the composition of its investment portfolio and will continue to strategically evaluate opportunities to further adjust the composition of its investment portfolio through the balance of 2013; and

 

   

Other operating income was $381 thousand in the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $93 thousand or 32.3% over the $288 thousand in the first quarter of 2012, and was driven by a 83.4% increase in investment services income, a 124.6% increase in income from sales of insurance products through the Company’s insurance subsidiary, and partially offset by a 16.2% increase in write downs of our investments in community and housing development funds.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $8.0 million, a decrease of $595 thousand or 7.0% over the noninterest expense of $8.6 million for the same period of 2012. The decrease in this component was caused by the following events:

 

   

Salaries and employee benefits were $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $249 thousand or 6.4% from $3.9 million for the same period of 2012. This increase was due to annual merit increases and lower deferred compensation on loan originations;

 

   

Collection, repossession and other real estate owned expenses were $126 thousand in the first quarter of 2013, a decrease of $179 thousand or 58.7% from $305 thousand for the same period of 2012. The decrease in these expenses was due to the overall decrease in the carrying balance of OREO as well as the amount of nonperforming loans and classified assets;

 

   

Losses on the sale of other real estate owned were $37 thousand in the first quarter of 2013, a decrease of $36 thousand or 49.3% from losses of $73 thousand for the same period of 2012; and

 

   

Impairment losses related to valuation adjustments on other real estate owned were $10 thousand in the first quarter of 2013, a decrease of $605 thousand or 98.4% from losses of $615 thousand for the same period of 2012, as the Company aggressively addressed other real estate owned as part of its overall credit quality initiative during the first three months of 2012, resulting in significant impairments on certain assets within the Company’s other real estate owned portfolio during the first quarter of 2012.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $349 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to an income tax expense of $92 thousand for the same period in 2012, reflecting a $257 thousand increase in income tax expense. The increase in income tax expense from the first quarter of 2012 to the same period in 2013 was the result of the Company’s pretax income increasing by approximately $523 thousand and a reduction in the amount of tax-exempt income on investment securities as the Company has rebalanced its securities portfolio.

Asset Quality

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a reserve for estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans determined to be impaired as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and is based on periodic evaluations of the collectability and historical loss experience of loans. A provision for loan losses, which is a charge against earnings, is recorded to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level that, in management’s judgment, is appropriate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. Actual credit losses are deducted from the allowance for loan losses for the difference between the carrying value of the loan and the estimated net realizable value or fair value of the collateral, if collateral dependent. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses.

 

47


Table of Contents

The allowance for loan losses is comprised of a specific allowance for identified problem loans and a general allowance representing estimations done pursuant to either FASB ASC Topic 450 “Accounting for Contingencies”, or FASB ASC Topic 310 “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.” The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired, and is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. For collateral dependent loans, an updated appraisal will be ordered if a current one is not on file. Appraisals are performed by independent third-party appraisers with relevant industry experience. Adjustments to the appraised value may be made based on recent sales of like properties or general market conditions when deemed appropriate. The general component covers non-classified or performing loans and those loans classified as substandard, doubtful or loss that are not impaired. The general component is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors, such as economic conditions, interest rates and unemployment rates. The Company uses a risk grading system for real estate (including multifamily residential, construction, farmland and non-farm, non-residential) and commercial loans. Loans are graded on a scale from 1 to 9. Non-impaired real estate and commercial loans are assigned an allowance factor which increases with the severity of risk grading. A general description of the characteristics of the risk grades is as follows:

Pass Grades

 

   

Risk Grade 1 loans have little or no risk and are generally secured by cash or cash equivalents;

 

   

Risk Grade 2 loans have minimal risk to well qualified borrowers and no significant questions as to safety;

 

   

Risk Grade 3 loans are satisfactory loans with strong borrowers and secondary sources of repayment;

 

   

Risk Grade 4 loans are satisfactory loans with borrowers not as strong as risk grade 3 loans but may exhibit a higher degree of financial risk based on the type of business supporting the loan; and

 

   

Risk Grade 5 loans are loans that warrant more than the normal level of supervision and have the possibility of an event occurring that may weaken the borrower’s ability to repay.

Special Mention

 

   

Risk Grade 6 loans have increasing potential weaknesses beyond those at which the loan originally was granted and if not addressed could lead to inadequately protecting the Company’s credit position.

Classified Grades

 

   

Risk Grade 7 loans are substandard loans and are inadequately protected by the current sound worth or paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged. These have well defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt with the distinct possibility the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected;

 

   

Risk Grade 8 loans are doubtful of collection and the possibility of loss is high but pending specific borrower plans for recovery, its classification as a loss is deferred until its more exact status is determined; and

 

   

Risk Grade 9 loans are loss loans which are considered uncollectable and of such little value that their continuance as a bank asset is not warranted.

The Company uses a past due grading system for consumer loans, including one to four family residential first and seconds and home equity lines. The past due status of a loan is based on the contractual due date of the most delinquent payment due. The past due grading of consumer loans is based on the following categories: current, 1-29 days past due, 30-59 days past due, 60-89 days past due and over 90 days past due. The consumer loans are segregated between performing and nonperforming loans. Performing loans are those that have made timely payments in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement and are not past due 90 days or more. Nonperforming loans are those that do not accrue interest or are greater than 90 days past due and accruing interest. Non-impaired consumer loans are assigned an allowance factor which increases with the severity of past due status. This 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 loan portfolio.

The Company’s ALL Committee is responsible for assessing the overall appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses and monitoring the Company’s allowance for loan losses methodology, particularly in the context of current economic conditions and a rapidly changing regulatory environment. The ALL Committee at least annually reviews the Company’s allowance for loan losses methodology.

Table of Contents

The allocation methodology applied by the Company includes management’s ongoing review and grading of the loan portfolio into criticized loan categories (defined as specific loans warranting either specific allocation, or a classified status of substandard, doubtful or loss). The allocation methodology focuses on evaluation of several factors, including but not limited to: evaluation of facts and issues related to specific loans, management’s ongoing review and grading of the loan portfolio, consideration of historical loan loss experience using a rolling three year average and delinquency experience on each portfolio category, trends in past due and nonaccrual loans, the level of classified loans, the risk characteristics of the various classifications of loans, changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio, concentrations of loans to specific borrowers or industries, existing economic conditions, the fair value of underlying collateral, and other qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect potential credit losses. Because each of the criteria used is subject to change, the allocation of the allowance for loan losses is made for analytical purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the trend of future loan losses in any particular loan category. The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any segment of the portfolio. In determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company considers its portfolio segments and loan classes to be the same.

Management believes that the level of the allowance for loan losses is appropriate in light of the credit quality and anticipated risk of loss in the loan portfolio. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses through increased provisions for loan losses or may require that certain loan balances be charged-off or downgraded into classified loan categories when their credit evaluations differ from those of management based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

As a result of the challenges continuing to face the economy and the real estate and financial markets today, the Company made provisions for loan losses of $600 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2012. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $1.4 million, compared to $3.9 million for the same three month period in 2012. This represents, on an annualized basis, 0.86% of average loans outstanding for the three

months ended March 31, 2013 and 2.13% of average loans outstanding for the same period of 2012. The contribution to the provision in the first three months of 2013 and 2012 was made in response to sustained credit quality issues in our loan portfolio as well as current market conditions and the current economic climate, both nationally and in our markets, all of which indicate that credit quality issues may continue to adversely impact our loan portfolio and our earnings in future periods. Net charge-offs decreased $2.4 million, or 63.2%, from the three months ended March 31, 2012 to the same period of 2013 due to improvements in some of the Company’s credit quality metrics, including continued decreases in the level of past due loans and nonperforming assets, and other factors, which are reflective of slowly improving economic conditions. However, net charge-offs remain elevated when compared to historical levels as the Company has aggressively focused on credit quality initiatives to improve its asset quality and resolve nonperforming assets.

The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2013 was $19.5 million, compared with $20.3 million at December 31, 2012. This represented 2.91% of period end loans at March 31, 2013, compared with 2.97% of year end loans at December 31, 2012.

The following table shows the allocation of the allowance for loan losses at the dates indicated. Notwithstanding these allocations, the entire allowance for loan losses is available to absorb charge-offs in any category of loan.

Loan Portfolio.”

Nonperforming Assets

The past due status of a loan is based on the contractual due date of the most delinquent payment due. Loans, including impaired loans, are generally classified as nonaccrual if they are past due as to maturity or payment of principal or interest for a period of more than 90 days, unless such loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. Loans greater than 90 days past due may remain on an accrual status if management determines it has adequate collateral to cover the principal and interest. If a loan or a portion of a loan is adversely classified, or is partially charged off, the loan is generally classified as nonaccrual. Additionally, whenever management becomes aware of facts or circumstances that may adversely impact the collectability of principal or interest on loans, it is management’s practice to place such loans on a nonaccrual status immediately, rather than delaying such action until the loans become 90 days past due. As of March 31, 2013, management is not aware of any potential problem loans to place immediately on nonaccrual status.

 

51


Table of Contents

When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed, and the amortization of related deferred loan fees or costs is suspended. While a loan is classified as nonaccrual and the future collectability of the recorded loan balance is doubtful, collections of interest and principal are generally applied as a reduction to principal outstanding. When the future collectability of the recorded loan balance is expected, interest income may be recognized on a cash basis. In the case where a nonaccrual loan has been partially charged off, recognition of interest on a cash basis is limited to that which would have been recognized on the recorded loan balance at the contractual interest rate. Cash interest receipts in excess of that amount are recorded as recoveries to the allowance for loan losses until prior charge-offs have been fully recovered. These policies are applied consistently across the Company’s loan portfolio.

Loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due (including arrearages) are reasonably assured of repayment within an acceptable period of time, and there is a sustained period of repayment performance by the borrower, in accordance with the contractual terms of interest and principal.

Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure is held for sale and is stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair market value of the property, less estimated disposal costs, if any. Cost includes loan principal and accrued interest. Any excess of cost over the estimated fair market value less costs to sell at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. The estimated fair market value is reviewed periodically by management and any write-downs are charged against current earnings. Development and improvement costs relating to property are capitalized. Net operating income or expenses of such properties are included in collection, repossession and other real estate owned expenses.

Nonperforming assets were $14.3 million or 2.12% of total loans and other real estate owned at March 31, 2013 compared to $16.6 million or 2.41% at December 31, 2012. Although nonperforming assets began to trend downward during 2011, continued this trend throughout 2012 and decreased by $2.3 million during the first three months of 2013, this number increased from 2007 through 2010 as a result of the continued challenging economic conditions which have significantly increased unemployment, reduced profitability of local businesses, and reduced the ability of many of our customers to keep their loans current. The sluggish economic recovery and continuing asset quality issues in the Company’s loan portfolio have prompted the Company to maintain the heightened level of the allowance for loan losses as compared to historical levels, which is 172.80% of nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2013, compared to 171.29% at December 31, 2012. Nonperforming loans have decreased $580 thousand or 4.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $11.3 million.

Nonaccrual loans were $11.3 million at March 31, 2013, a decrease of $580 thousand or 4.9% from $11.9 million at December 31, 2012. Of the current $11.3 million in nonaccrual loans, $10.6 million or 93.5% is secured by real estate in our market area. Of these real estate secured loans, $5.9 million are residential real estate, $1.5 million are real estate construction, and $3.2 million are commercial properties.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest.

Other real estate owned, net of valuation allowance at March 31, 2013 was $3.0 million, a decrease of approximately $1.8 million or 37.1% from $4.7 million at December 31, 2012. The balance at March 31, 2013 was comprised of twelve properties of which $442 thousand are residential real estate, $2.4 million are real estate construction and $100 thousand are commercial properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, new foreclosures included five properties totaling $552 thousand transferred

from loans. Sales of eight other real estate owned properties for the three months ended March 31, 2013 resulted in a net loss of $37 thousand. At March 31, 2013, there were three properties totaling $401 thousand under contract for sale. Subsequent to March 31, 2013, one of the properties under contract for sale at March 31, 2013 sold resulting in a net loss of approximately $18 thousand that will be recognized in the second quarter of 2013. The remaining properties are being actively marketed and the Company does not anticipate any material losses associated with these properties. The Company recorded losses of $10 thousand in its consolidated statement of income during the first three months of 2013, due to valuation adjustments on other real estate owned properties compared to $615 thousand for the same period in 2012. Asset quality continues to be a top priority for the Company. The Company continues to allocate significant resources to the expedient disposition and collection of nonperforming and other lower quality assets, as demonstrated by the $3.0 million, or 49.8%, decrease in other real estate owned from March 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013. For more information on asset disposition strategies related to our 2013 Capital Initiative, see “2013 Capital Initiative and Strategic Initiatives” in this Item 2.

As discussed earlier in this Item 2, the Company measures impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the loan or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The Company maintains a valuation allowance to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment. TDRs are considered impaired loans. TDRs occur when we agree to modify the original terms of a loan by granting a concession due to the deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. These concessions can be temporary and are made in an attempt to avoid foreclosure and with the intent to restore the loan to a performing status once sufficient payment history can be demonstrated. These concessions could include, without limitation, rate reductions to below market rates, payment deferrals, forbearance, and, in some cases, forgiveness of principal or interest.

A tabular presentation of loans individually evaluated for impairment by class of loans at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 can be found under Item 1. “Financial Statements,” under the heading “Note 3. Loan Portfolio.”

At March 31, 2013, the balance of impaired loans was $45.7 million, for which there were specific valuation allowances of $5.3 million. At December 31, 2012, the balance of impaired loans was $41.7 million, for which there were specific valuation allowances of $5.2 million. The average balance of impaired loans was $44.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $48.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company’s balance of impaired loans has generally increased since 2008 as a result of the continued challenging economic conditions which have significantly increased unemployment, reduced profitability of local businesses, and reduced the ability of many of our customers to keep their loans current.

Financial Condition

Summary

At March 31, 2013, the Company had total assets of $1.1 billion, an increase of $18.1 million or 1.7% from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2012. The slight increase in total assets was principally the result of increases in interest bearing deposits with banks, deposits and borrowings, and partially offset by decreases in cash and short-term investments, securities available for sale, loans and other real estate owned as detailed in the following schedule.

Investment Securities

The investment portfolio plays a primary role in the management of the Company’s interest rate sensitivity. In addition, the portfolio serves as a source of liquidity and is used as needed to meet collateral requirements, such as those related to secure public deposits, balances with the Federal Reserve Bank and repurchase agreements. The investment portfolio entirely consists of securities available for sale, which may be sold in response to changes in market interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, increases in loan demand, general liquidity needs and other similar factors. These securities are carried at estimated fair value. Total investment securities were $273.2 million at March 31, 2013, reflecting a decrease of $3.7 million or 1.3% from $276.9 million at December 31, 2012. The valuation allowance for the available for sale portfolio had an unrealized gain, net of tax expense, of $1.5 million at March 31, 2013 compared with an unrealized gain, net of tax expense, of $1.9 million at December 31, 2012. These unrealized gains as of March 31, 2013 are principally due to interest rate declines in the current low rate environment.

The slight decrease in the investment portfolio during the first three months of 2013 was the result of our continued effort to restructure the composition of our securities portfolio, to strategically deploy excess cash into investment securities as investment opportunities are available and due to a lack of suitable investment opportunities which has caused our excess funding to remain in lower yielding interest bearing deposits with banks. In the first three months of 2013, management continued to allocate a greater portion of the investment portfolio to SBA Pool securities, while reducing its holdings of investment securities issued by state and political subdivisions. The decrease in investment securities issued by state and political subdivisions was done in an effort to reduce the overall duration and price volatility contained in the investment portfolio. The SBA Pool securities are modified mortgage pass-through securities that are assembled using the guaranteed portion of SBA loans and as such are unconditionally guaranteed as to principal and accrued interest by the U.S. government. Management continues to invest in these SBA Pool securities because they qualify under current risk-weighting regulations as 0% risk weighted assets, which more efficiently uses capital to produce a reasonable rate of return. Approximately 22.7% of the SBA Pool securities are adjustable rate products which will assist the Company with mitigating interest rate risk. In addition, for liquidity planning purposes, these securities provide an investment that may be pledged as collateral to secure public deposits, balances with the Federal Reserve Bank and repurchase agreements. As part of our overall asset/liability management strategy, we are targeting our investment portfolio to be approximately 20% of our total assets. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our investment portfolio was 25.0% and 25.8%, respectively, of total assets.

Loans

The Company offers an array of lending and credit services to customers including mortgage, commercial and consumer loans. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by commercial and residential 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. The loan portfolio is the largest component of earning assets and accounts for the greatest portion of total interest income. Total loans were $670.8 million at March 31, 2013, a decrease of $13.9 million or 2.0% from $684.7 million at December 31, 2012. As previously discussed, our loan portfolio continues to decrease as a result of weak loan demand, additional charge-offs and payment curtailments on outstanding credits.

Deposits

The Company’s predominant source of funds is depository accounts. The Company’s deposit base, which is provided by individuals and businesses located within the communities served, is comprised of demand deposits, savings and money market accounts, and time deposits. The Company augments its deposit base through conservative use of brokered deposits, including through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service program (“CDARS”). The Company’s balance sheet growth is largely determined by the availability of deposits in its markets, the cost of attracting the deposits and the prospects of profitably utilizing the available deposits by increasing the loan or investment portfolios.

Total deposits were $855.2 million as of March 31, 2013, an increase of approximately $16.8 million or 2.0% from $838.4 million as of December 31, 2012. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company’s deposits at the dates indicated.

During the first three months of 2013, the Company continued to see a shift from interest-bearing retail time deposits to lower cost non-maturity interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing retail deposits as our consumers are willing to forego the higher yield on longer-term products in order to have more readily available access to their funds. The Company believes the overall increase in total deposits, which occurred in all of our non-maturity interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits, with the largest increases coming in our noninterest-bearing demand and interest-bearing savings, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, is primarily the result of customers seeking the liquidity and safety of deposit accounts in light of the weak economic recovery in our markets and continuing economic uncertainty in general. The increase in interest-bearing time deposits was the result of the Company taking out an additional $5.0 million in broker certificates of deposits in order to take advantage of the low interest rate environment, save cost and efficiently extend liabilities. The interest rates paid on these deposits are consistent, if not lower, than the market rates offered in our local area. Amounts included in these brokered certificates of deposits also include deposits under the CDARS program. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $33.6 million and $28.6 million in broker certificates of deposits.

The Company has observed its customers, including counties and municipalities, maintaining significant liquid cash reserves in order to deleverage and prevent operating shortfalls. While the Company believes that it offers competitive interest rates on all deposit products, the continued weak loan demand, coupled with our ongoing deposit re-pricing strategy, have allowed for some deposit attrition particularly from depositors seeking higher yields at our competitors or from other investment vehicles.

Borrowings

The Company’s ability to borrow funds through non-deposit sources provides additional flexibility in meeting the liquidity needs of customers while enhancing its cost of funds structure. Total borrowings were $131.0 million at March 31, 2013, an increase of $227 thousand or 0.2% from $130.8 million at December 31, 2012. The slight increase in borrowings was due to an increase in customer repurchase agreements during the first three months of 2013.

As of March 31, 2013, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations, including through the sale of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through short-term borrowings. Our liquidity is provided from cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with other banks, federal funds sold, repayments from loans, sales of loans, increases in deposits, lines of credit from the FHLB and three correspondent banks, sales of investments, interest and dividend payments received from investments and maturing investments. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity may be affected by numerous factors, including economic conditions nationally and in our markets. Depending on our liquidity levels, our capital position, conditions in the capital markets and other factors, we may from time to time consider the issuance of debt, equity or other securities, or other possible capital market transactions, the proceeds of which could provide additional liquidity for operations.

Once completed, and assuming full subscription to the Rights Offering, we expect the 2013 Capital Initiative to contribute gross cash proceeds of approximately $50.0 million to our liquidity, a significant portion of which we expect to deploy to execute the related business initiatives. For more information on our 2013 Capital Initiative, see “2013 Capital Initiative and Strategic Initiatives” in this Item 2.

As a result of our management of liquid assets and our ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, we believe that we maintain overall liquidity to satisfy our depositors’ requirements and to meet customers’ credit needs. We also take into account any liquidity needs generated by off-balance sheet transactions such as commitments to extend credit, commitments to purchase securities and standby letters of credit.

We monitor and plan our liquidity position for future periods. Liquidity strategies are implemented and monitored by our Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”).

Cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold totaled $83.7 million as of March 31, 2013 compared to $46.6 million as of December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, cash, cash equivalents, federal funds sold and unpledged securities available for sale were $258.2 million or 23.6% of total assets, compared to $217.7 million or 20.2% of total assets at December 31, 2012.

As disclosed in the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows, net cash provided by operating activities was $3.5 million, net cash provided by investing activities was $16.5 million and net cash provided by financing activities was $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Combined, this contributed to a $37.1 million increase in liquidity for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The Company maintains access to short-term funding sources as well, including federal funds lines of credit with three correspondent banks up to $40.0 million and the ability to borrow from the FHLB up to $182.5 million. The Company has no reason to believe these arrangements will not be renewed at maturity. Additional loans and securities are available that can be pledged as collateral for future borrowings from the FHLB above the current lendable collateral value.

Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more, maturing in one year or less, totaled $69.8 million at March 31, 2013. Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more, maturing in more than one year, totaled $66.7 million at March 31, 2013.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company was not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our liquidity. As of March 31, 2013, the Company has no material commitments or long-term debt for capital expenditures.

Capital Resources

The assessment of capital adequacy depends on such factors as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, and changing competitive conditions and economic forces. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of the Company’s capital. The Company maintains a capital structure that it believes will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components (such as interest rate risk), risk weighting, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require that the Bank maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of March 31, 2013, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of March 31, 2013, the Bank was categorized as “well capitalized,” the highest level of capital adequacy. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios. The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are presented under Item 1. “Financial Statements,” under the heading “Note 13. Capital Requirements.”

On February 17, 2011, the Company entered into a Written Agreement with the Reserve Bank and the Bureau. Under the terms of this Written Agreement, the Parent and the Bank are subject to additional limitations and regulatory restrictions and may not declare or pay dividends to its shareholders (including payments by the Parent on its trust preferred securities) and may not purchase or redeem shares of its stock without prior regulatory approval. Additional information about the Written Agreement can be found under Item 1. “Financial Statements,” under the heading “Note 14. Formal Written Agreement” and under “Executive Overview” of this Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

In June 2012, the federal bank regulatory agencies proposed (i) rules to implement the Basel III capital framework as outlined by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, and (ii) rules for calculating risk-weighted assets. The federal bank regulatory agencies have delayed the implementation of Basel III and the new risk-weighted assets calculations to consider comments received on the proposed rules. The timing for the agencies’ publication of revised proposed rules regarding, or final rules to implement, Basel III and the new risk-weighted assets calculations is uncertain. For further information about these proposed rules, refer to Item 1. “Business” under the heading “Regulation and Supervision – Capital Requirements” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

In addition to Basel III and Standardized Approach Proposals, Dodd-Frank requires or permits the U.S. banking agencies to adopt regulations affecting banking institutions’ capital requirements in a number of respects. Accordingly, the regulations ultimately applicable to the Company may be substantially different from the Basel III Proposal and Standardized Approach Proposal as published in June 2012. Requirements to maintain higher levels of capital or to maintain higher levels of liquid assets could adversely impact the Company’s net income and return on equity.

Cash Dividends

The Bank, as a Virginia banking corporation, may pay dividends only out of retained earnings. In addition, regulatory authorities may limit payment of dividends by any bank, when it is determined that such limitation is in the public interest and necessary to ensure financial soundness of the bank. Regulatory agencies place certain restrictions on dividends paid and loans or advances made by the Bank to the Company. The amount of dividends the Bank may pay to the Company, without prior approval, is limited to current year earnings plus retained net profits for the two preceding years. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, no cash dividends have been paid from the Bank to the Company.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid out no cash dividends to shareholders.

The Company’s Board of Directors determines whether to declare dividends and the amount of any dividends declared. Such determinations by the Board take into account the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and other relevant factors, including any relevant regulatory restrictions. In connection with the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, there were limitations on the Company’s ability to pay quarterly common stock cash dividends in excess of $0.16 per share prior to January 9, 2012.

On May 15, 2013, the Company deferred its tenth consecutive dividend on the preferred stock issued to the Treasury. Deferral of dividends on the preferred stock does not constitute an event of default. Dividends on the preferred stock are, however, cumulative, and the Company has accumulated the dividends in accordance with the terms of the preferred stock and U.S. GAAP and reflected the accumulated dividends as a portion of the effective dividend on preferred stock on the consolidated statements of income. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had accumulated $2.7 million for dividends on the preferred stock. In addition, if dividends on the preferred stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly dividend periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of directors on the Company’s board automatically increases by two. In such a case, the Treasury (or the then current holders of the preferred stock) has the right, voting as a class, to elect two directors to the Company’s board at the next annual meeting (or at a special meeting called for that purpose) and at every subsequent annual meeting until all owed and unpaid dividends on the preferred stock have been paid. In April 2012, the Treasury assigned an observer to attend the Company’s board meetings, in part to determine whether and how to exercise this right, but to date the Treasury has not yet exercised this right.

On February 17, 2011, the Company entered into a Written Agreement with the Reserve Bank and Bureau. Under the terms of this Written Agreement, the Parent and the Bank are subject to additional limitations and regulatory restrictions and may not declare or pay dividends to its shareholders (including payments by the Parent on its trust preferred securities) and may not purchase or redeem shares of its stock without prior regulatory approval. Additional information about the Written Agreement can be found under Item 1. “Financial Statements,” under the heading “Note 14. Formal Written Agreement” and under “Executive Overview” of this Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Effects of Inflation

The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically different from other industries as the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. The primary effect of inflation on the Company’s operations is reflected in increased operating costs. In management’s opinion, changes in interest rates affect the financial condition of a financial institution to a far greater degree than changes in the inflation rate. While interest rates are significantly impacted by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same time or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no significant changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Company or its subsidiary to disclose material information required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

Management of the Company is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s first quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II —OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of operations, the Company and its subsidiaries may become a party to legal proceedings, or property of the Company or its subsidiaries may become subject to legal proceedings. As of March 31, 2013 and based on information currently available, there are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, is a party or to which the property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject that, in the opinion of management, may materially impact the financial condition of the Company.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the risk factors faced by the Company from those disclosed under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In January 2001, the Company announced a stock repurchase program by which management was authorized to repurchase up to 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This plan was amended in 2003 and the number of shares by which management is authorized to repurchase is up to 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on January 1 of each year. There is no stated expiration date for the program. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company did not repurchase any of its common stock.

In connection with the Company’s sale to the Treasury of its Series A Preferred Stock under the Capital Purchase Program, as previously described, prior to January 9, 2012, the Company generally could not purchase any of its common stock without the consent of the Treasury.

In connection with the Written Agreement with the Reserve Bank and the Bureau, as previously described, the Company is subject to additional limitations and regulatory restrictions and may not purchase or redeem shares of its stock without prior regulatory approval.
