Letter to Our Shareholders

We kick off Monarch’s 15th anniversary with another great year to celebrate.

The vision of three local Chesapeake businessmen back in 1998 to build a high-performance community bank has blossomed into the company we are today. Their wisdom, along with founding CEO “Tree” Rountree’s impact on establishing our corporate culture, is the foundation we build upon every year.

Every strong house has a solid foundation, and ours is rock solid.

We are pleased to report the best year in our history for total shareholder return, which is stock price appreciation plus dividends. In 2013 we returned a 52% increase, and over the past three years have returned 111% to you - which means we more than doubled the value of your investment.

None of our local community bank competitors comes close to these returns.

Letter to Our Shareholders

The credit for our outstanding performance goes to our talented employees and directors who are committed day in and day out to building Monarch into a high-performance company. Monarch was recently recognized as one of the “Best Places to Work in Virginia” by Virginia Business magazine, an accomplishment that answers the question of “how does Monarch continue to grow and perform regardless of market ups and downs.” The formula is we put our people first, they in turn take care of our clients, which allows us to support the community, which then grows your investment.

While 2013 was our best year for total shareholder return, it was our second best year for financial performance. Before you compare 2012 and 2013 you have to recognize that 2012 will forever be known as the year of the mortgage refinance wave, and what a wave it was. Back in 2012 we grew mortgage production an astonishing 64%, and that allowed our company to more than double net income available to our common shareholders from 2011 levels. The fact our 2013 earnings available to common shareholders is within 3% of our 2012 number, and still approximately double that number from 2011, is a testament to our formula for success. For the year both our net income and net income available to common shareholders was $11.1 million, down from our previous 2012 record of $12.8 and $11.4 million, respectively.

Early in 2013 we converted all our preferred shares into common stock, which reduced our required dividend payout. Your corporate board of directors made a decision to increase the cash dividends on your common stock not once but twice during the year returning more profits back to you. This represents a 26% dividend increase for the year.

Growing quality commercial loans continued to be tough due to competition in our markets defined by slow economic growth. We grew our loan portfolio by 8%, or $52 million in 2013 due to our bankers, their relationships, our ability to react with local and fast decision-making, and our growing reputation. The challenge we faced in 2013 was one we faced in the boom times prior to the financial crisis – how to compete with irrational competition. We are beginning to see poor underwriting, foolish pricing, and risky structures by our competitors and have stayed away from the current mantra of loan growth at any cost. The fact we never stopped lending during the economic crisis has allowed us to build a strong and loyal client base, and we plan to continue our conservative lending style anchored on exceptional service balanced with both credit risk and interest rate risk.

Asset quality remained strong in 2013, which was the first year in over ten years where we had no expense for bad loans. We had built up our reserves to cover loan losses and been aggressive with actual losses over the last several years, and that conservative approach really paid off in 2013. Just 0.25% of our assets were classified as non-performing at year end 2013, a fraction of our national and local peers. We do remind you that loan growth, which drives profitability if done correctly, requires the addition of future reserves as loans are being made. The addition to loss reserves based on loan growth will be a good problem to have going forward.

Maximizing our core deposit franchise and minimizing our non-core funding expense remains a long-term focus. While total deposits were down slightly year over year, our local core deposits grew by $40 million, with lower-cost demand deposits now representing 29% of our total deposits. While growing our local core deposits we dramatically reduced non-core funding by over $200 million or by 95%. We remain the second largest community bank in Hampton Roads based on deposits, and the fourth in market share at OBX Bank. Our balance sheet is as strong as ever and we do have money to lend and invest.

Our mortgage team also had their second best production year in 2013 with $1.97 billion in loans closed, down from the $2.7 billion in refinance-driven 2012, but up from the $1.6 billion closed in both 2010 and 2011. Our Mortgage CEO, Will Morrison and Mortgage President, Jack Lane continue to focus on growth, profitability and risk management. A major accomplishment during 2013 was our new mortgage relationship with Rose and Womble Realtors, the top residential realtor in Hampton Roads. This well respected firm selected Monarch Mortgage from a number of candidates, and we anticipate this relationship will be mutually beneficial for years to come.

Letter to Our Shareholders

Beginning late in 2013 the mortgage market saw rapid declines in closing volume, and we have been working to ensure this component of our company that drove strong profits over the past several years will continue to do so. While the market impacted our results in the later portion of 2013 and will most likely impact our results early in 2014, we are confident we have the right formula to be successful going forward. We expect to start the year slow and then pick up steam as we move into what is expected to be a traditional seasonal year for mortgage lending.

We continued to improve our banking franchise. We consolidated our Oceanfront banking office, mortgage headquarters, and Virginia Beach business banking unit into a new facility at Oceans31 in Virginia Beach early in the year. The synergy is already paying off with strong growth in our Oceanfront office deposit base.

We entered a major new market in late 2012 with the start-up of Monarch Bank Private Wealth and our entry into Williamsburg and Newport News, Virginia. While we had always been on the “Southside” region of our market, we had no offices or operations on the “Peninsula” region of the Hampton Roads MSA – the 37th largest metropolitan area in the country. We are nearing completion of our new Williamsburg office to house Monarch Bank Private Wealth and our Williamsburg banking and mortgage operations. We plan to open that office in the second quarter of 2014 and will finally have a deposit-friendly banking office in that market. We also opened our Newport News loan production office, led by well known banker Bill Carr, during the year.

Monarch Bank Private Wealth had its first full year of operation in 2013. We grew investments under management to $185 million during the year, almost doubling our great start in 2012. The integration of banking and investing with a financial planning focus is being well received in all our markets. Along with positive revenue growth this team, led by Bernie Ngo and Pat Faulkner, plans to contribute to our bottom line in 2014 and beyond.

Our performance did not go unnoticed by others. We won the Sandler O’Neill Sm-All Star award and the KBW Honor Roll award (three years in a row now), both performance-based awards given to the best of the best. Only a handful of banks have won the KBW honor-roll award three years in a row, with less than 50 banks being recognized each year. Bauer Financial, an independent company that rates banks, continued to award us with their top “Superior” 5-Star rating for our financial strength.

Giving back to the community is ingrained in our culture. Monarch Children’s Charities, our non-profit subsidiary, raised a record amount at our signature annual golf tournament in 2013 and has raised over $1.3 million since its formation. These funds are distributed to local children’s focused charities. With this tournament, other community sponsorships, and the time given by our staff to support local charities and churches, we continue to make a difference in all our communities.

We want to thank our eight Boards of Directors comprising our Corporate Board, our City Boards in Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Williamsburg/Peninsula, our OBX Bank Board, and our Hampton Roads Leadership Board for their incredible support. Our inaugural board incentive plan in 2013 recognized 26 of our 170 board members for business referrals during the year – a nice start to a new plan.

We lost one of our founders during 2013 with the passing of Cassell D. Basnight, our founding Chairman. Cassell was one of those three Chesapeake businessmen we mentioned earlier, the one who had the vision to start Monarch Bank. Cassell served faithfully from our formation until his retirement in 2009. His focus on relationship banking, expense management, and his desire to pay a cash dividend to our shareholders is ingrained in our corporate culture.

All of us in the Monarch family are grateful for your support and will continue to prove ourselves worthy of your trust and confidence.

Sincerely,

Brad E. Schwartz

Chief Executive Officer

E. Neal Crawford, Jr.

President
