[EXCERPT FROM

2004 ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS]

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and Directors

First National Corporation

Strasburg, Virginia

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First National Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First National Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FIRST NATIONAL CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BANKING ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

First National Corporation (the Company) is the financial holding company of First Bank (the Bank), First National (VA) Statutory Trust I (Trust I) and First National (VA) Statutory Trust II (Trust II). Trust I and Trust II were formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable capital securities, commonly known as trust preferred securities. First Bank owns First Bank Financial Services, Inc., which invests in partnerships that provide title insurance and investment services. The Bank provides commercial, residential and consumer loans, a variety of deposit products, and investment services to its customers in the Shenandoah Valley Region of Virginia.

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to accepted practices within the banking industry.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements of First National Corporation include the accounts of all five companies. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, except for balances and transactions related to Trust I and Trust II. FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) requires that the Company no longer consolidate First National (VA) Statutory Trust I and First National (VA) Statutory Trust II. The subordinated debt of these trusts is reflected as a liability of the Company.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and 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.

 

Securities

 

Securities not classified as held to maturity, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as “available for sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, all of the Company’s securities were classified as available for sale.

 

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. At December 31, 2004, there were no other than temporary declines in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the settlement date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Loans Held for Sale

 

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value. The Company, through its banking subsidiary, requires a firm purchase commitment from a permanent investor before a loan can be closed, thus limiting interest rate risk. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

 

The Bank enters into commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments). Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 30 to 60 days. The Bank protects itself from changes in interest rates through the use of best efforts forward delivery commitments, whereby the Bank commits to sell a loan at the time the borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the buyer has assumed interest rate risk on the loan. As a result, the Bank is not exposed to losses nor will it realize significant gains related to its rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates. The correlation between the rate lock commitments and the best efforts contracts is very high due to their similarity.

 

The market value of rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts is not readily ascertainable with precision because rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not actively traded in stand-alone markets. The Bank determines the fair value of rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts by measuring the change in the value of the underlying asset while taking into consideration the probability that the rate lock commitments will close. Because of the high correlation between rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts, no gain or loss occurs on the rate lock commitments.

 

Loans

 

The Company, through its banking subsidiary, grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by residential and commercial loans secured by real estate throughout the Shenandoah Valley Region of Virginia. The ability of the Bank’s debtors to honor their contracts is subject to the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.

 

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

 

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

 

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

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies,” which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and (ii) SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. For further information about the Company’s loans and the allowance for loan losses, see Note 3 and 4.

 

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

 

The allowance for loan losses has two basic components: the specific allowance and the formula allowance. Both of these components are determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur.

 

The specific allowance is used to individually allocate an allowance for larger balance, non-homogeneous loans. The specific allowance uses various techniques to arrive at an estimate of loss. First, analysis of the borrower’s overall financial condition, resources and payment record; the prospects for support from financial guarantors; and the fair market value of collateral net of selling costs, are used to estimate the probability and severity of inherent losses. Additionally, historical default rates and loss severities, internal risk ratings, industry trends and market conditions, and other environmental factors are considered. The use of these values is inherently subjective and our actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates.

 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, net collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, net of selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent.

 

The formula allowance is used for estimating the loss on pools of smaller-balance, homogeneous loans; including residential mortgage loans, installment loans, other consumer loans, as well as outstanding loan commitments. Also, the formula allowance is used for the remaining pool of larger balance, non-homogeneous loans which were not allocated a specific allowance upon their review. The formula allowance begins with estimates of probable losses inherent in the homogeneous portfolio based upon various statistical analyses. These include analysis of historical delinquency and loss experience, together with analyses that reflect current economic trends and conditions. As a result, even though historical loss data is regularly updated with the most recent information, it could differ from the loss incurred in the future.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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

 

Premises and Equipment

 

Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Premises and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from three years to forty years; leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvement, whichever is less. Software is amortized over its estimated useful life ranging from three to seven years. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on the straight-line method.

 

Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Costs of replacing structural parts of major units are considered individually and are expensed or capitalized as the facts dictate. Gains and losses on routine dispositions are reflected in current operations.

 

Other Real Estate

 

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets. The Company had $270,000 in foreclosed real estate at December 31, 2004 and no foreclosed real estate at December 31, 2003.

 

Transfers of Financial Assets

 

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets have been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before maturity.

 

Income Taxes

 

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

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. There are no potential common shares that would have a dilutive effect. Earnings per share for prior periods has been restated to give retroactive effect of the Company’s two-for-one stock split declared April 16, 2003. The stock split was payable on May 30, 2003 to shareholders of record April 30, 2003. The average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share were 1,462,062, 1,480,209 and 1,580,062 at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”). This Interpretation provides guidance with respect to the identification of variable interest entities when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and results of operations of a variable interest entity need to be included in a Company’s consolidated financial statements. An entity is deemed a variable interest entity, subject to the interpretation, if the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or in cases in which the equity investors lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, which include the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights, the obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur, or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. Due to significant implementation issues, the FASB modified the wording of FIN 46 and issued FIN 46R in December of 2003. FIN46R deferred the effective date for the provisions of FIN 46 to entities other than Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”) until financial statements issued for periods ending after March 15, 2004. SPEs were subject to the provisions of either FIN 46 or FIN 46R as of December 15, 2003. Management has evaluated the Company’s investments in variable interest entities and potential variable interest entities or transactions, particularly in limited liability partnerships involved in trust preferred securities structures because these entities or transactions constitute the Company’s FIN 46 and FIN 46R exposure. The adoption of FIN 46 and FIN 46R did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

 

In December 2003, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee (“AcSEC”) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (“SOP”) 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer.” The SOP is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The scope of the SOP applies to unhealthy “problem” loans that have been acquired, either individually in a portfolio, or in a business acquisition. The SOP addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor’s initial investment in loans or debt securities (loans) acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. The SOP does not apply to loans originated by the Company. The Company adopted the provisions of SOP 03-3 effective January 1, 2005. There was no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

On March 9, 2004, the SEC Staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments” (“SAB 105”). SAB 105 clarifies existing accounting practices relating to the valuation of issued loan commitments, including interest rate lock commitments (“IRLC”), subject to SFAS No. 149 and Derivative Implementation Group Issue C13, “Scope Exceptions: When a Loan Commitment is included in the Scope of Statement 133.” Furthermore, SAB 105 disallows the inclusion of the values of a servicing component and other internally developed intangible assets in the initial and subsequent IRLC valuation. The provisions of SAB 105 were effective for loan commitments entered into after March 31, 2004. The Company has adopted the provisions of SAB 105. There was no impact on either the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

 

Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. (EITF) 03-1 “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” was issued and is effective March 31, 2004. The EITF 03-1 provides guidance for determining the meaning of “other–than-temporarily impaired” and its application to certain debt and equity securities within the scope of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS No. 115”) and investments accounted for under the cost method. The guidance requires that investments which have declined in value due to credit concerns or solely due to changes in interest rates must be recorded as other-than-temporarily impaired unless the Company can assert and demonstrate its intention to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery of fair value up to or beyond the cost of the investment which might mean maturity. This issue also requires disclosures assessing the ability and intent to hold investments in instances in which an investor determines that an investment with a fair value less than cost is not other-than-temporarily impaired. On September 30, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board decided to delay the effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance contained in Issue 03-1. This delay does not suspend the requirement to recognize other-than-temporary impairments as required by existing authoritative literature. The disclosure guidance in Issue 03-1 was not delayed. The Company has included the required disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

 

EITF No. 03-16, “Accounting for Investments in Limited Liability Companies was ratified by the Board and is effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004.” APB Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting Investments in Common Stock,” prescribes the accounting for investments in common stock of corporations that are not consolidated. AICPA Accounting Interpretation 2, “Investments in Partnerships Ventures,” of Opinion 18, indicates that “many of the provisions of the Opinion would be appropriate in accounting” for partnerships. In EITF Abstracts, Topic No. D-46, “Accounting for Limited Partnership Investments,” the SEC staff clarified its view that investments of more than 3 to 5 percent are considered to be more than minor and, therefore, should be accounted for using the equity method. Limited liability companies (LLCs) have characteristics of both corporations and partnerships, but are dissimilar from both in certain respects. Due to those similarities and differences, diversity in practice exists with respect to accounting for non-controlling investments in LLCs. The consensus reached was that an LLC should be viewed as similar to a corporation or similar to a partnership for purposes of determining whether a non-controlling investment should be accounted for using the cost method or the equity method of accounting.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.” This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. The Statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee

 

12


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

is required to provide service in exchange for the award – the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The entity will initially measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of liability instruments based on its current fair value; the fair value of that award will be remeasured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available). If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. This Statement is effective for public entities that do not file as small business issuers–as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. For public companies that file as small business issuers the effective date is as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. Under the transition method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the required effective date for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under Statement 123 for either recognition or pro forma disclosures. For periods before the required effective date, entities may elect to apply a modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods by Statement 123. This Statement did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The tables above provide information about securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve consecutive months, and also those securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve consecutive months. The Company invests in U.S Agency and mortgage-backed securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions, corporate equity securities and restricted securities. Restricted securities include required equity investments in certain correspondent banks. All of the securities with unrealized losses are considered temporarily impaired due to interest rate factors. These securities have not suffered credit deterioration and the Company has the ability to hold these issues until maturity. At December 31, 2004, there were thirteen U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities and eight obligations of state and political subdivisions in an unrealized loss position. Ninety-eight percent of the Company’s investment securities have credit ratings of AAA and the weighted-average repricing term of the investment portfolio was 3.2 years as of December 31, 2004.

 

The amortized cost and fair value of securities available for sale as of December 31, 2004, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities of mortgage-backed securities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Corporate equity securities and restricted securities are not included in the maturity categories in the following maturity summary because they do not have a stated maturity date.

NOTE 8. COMPANY OBLIGATED MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE CAPITAL SECURITIES

 

On March 11, 2003, First National (VA) Statutory Trust I (Trust I), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable capital securities, commonly known as trust preferred securities. On March 26, 2003, $3,000,000 of trust preferred securities were issued through a pooled underwriting. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of interest. The interest rate at December 31, 2004 was 5.70%. The securities have a mandatory redemption date of March 26, 2033, and are subject to varying call provisions beginning March 26, 2008. The principal asset of Trust I is $3,093,000 of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with maturities and interest rates like the capital securities.

 

On June 8, 2004, First National (VA) Statutory Trust II (Trust II), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable capital securities. On June 17, 2004, $5,000,000 of trust preferred securities were issued through a pooled underwriting. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of interest. The interest rate at December 31, 2004 was 5.10%. The securities have a mandatory redemption date of June 17, 2034, and are subject to varying call provisions beginning June 17, 2009. The principal asset of Trust II is $5,155,000 of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with maturities and interest rates comparable to the trust preferred securities.

 

While these securities are debt obligations of the Company, they are included in capital for regulatory capital ratio calculations. Under present regulations, the trust preferred securities may be included in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy purposes as long as their amount does not exceed 25% of

Low income housing credits totaled $9,588 for the year ended December 31, 2002. There were no low income housing credits for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

NOTE 10. FUND RESTRICTIONS AND RESERVE BALANCE

 

Transfers of funds from the banking subsidiary to the parent Company in the form of loans, advances and cash dividends are restricted by federal and state regulatory authorities. As of December 31, 2004, the aggregate amount of unrestricted funds which could be transferred from the banking subsidiary to the parent Company, without prior regulatory approval, totaled $4,431,707.

 

The Bank must maintain a reserve against its deposits in accordance with Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Act. For the final weekly reporting period in the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the aggregate amounts of daily average required balances were approximately $561,000 and $263,000, respectively.

 

NOTE 11. BENEFIT PLANS

 

The Bank has a noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan for all full-time employees over 21 years of age with at least one year of credited service. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and average compensation for the five highest-paid consecutive years of service. The Bank’s funding policy is to make at least the minimum required annual contribution permitted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the Internal Revenue Code. The following table provides a reconciliation of the changes in the plan benefit obligation and the fair value of assets for the periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, computed as of October 1 of each respective year.

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

 

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

 

The pension plan’s weighted-average asset allocations at the end of the plan year for 2004 and 2003, by asset category are as follows:

 

     2004

    2003

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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

 

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

 

The Company made cash contributions for the 2004 plan year totaling $269,964, and expects to contribute $267,835 for the 2005 plan year. Cash contributions for the 2003 plan year, subsequent to December 31, 2003 totaled $739,781. The accumulated benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plan was $1,757,123 and $1,332,275 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are as follows:

The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for all eligible employees. Participating employees may elect to contribute up to 21% of their compensation subject to certain limits based on federal tax laws. The Company makes matching contributions equal to one-half of the first six percent of an employee’s compensation contributed to the Plan. Full-time employees who have completed six months of credited service are eligible. Both employee and employer contributions vest immediately. The Company has the discretion to make a profit sharing contribution to the Plan each year based on overall performance, profitability, and other economic factors. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, expense attributable to the Plan amounted to $82,211, $68,698 and $61,439, respectively.

 

Effective January 1, 2000, the Company established an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). The ESOP provides an opportunity for the Company to award shares of First National Corporation stock to employees at its discretion. Full-time employees who have completed six months of credited service are eligible. Participants become 100% vested after five years of credited service. The ESOP contains a put option which allows a withdrawing participant to require the Company or the ESOP to purchase his or her allocated shares if the shares are not readily tradable on an established market at the time of its distribution. Contributions each year are at the discretion of the Board of Directors, within certain limitations prescribed by Federal tax regulations. The Company made cash contributions to the Plan of $79,823 and $79,000 during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These contributions are included in salaries and benefits in the accompanying statements of income. No cash contributions were made to the Plan during the year ended December 31, 2004. The ESOP held 12,904 shares as of December 31, 2004.

 

On January 6, 1999, the Bank adopted a Director Split Dollar Life Insurance Plan. This Plan provides life insurance coverage to insurable directors of the Bank. The Bank owns the policies and is entitled to all values and proceeds. The Plan provides retirement benefits and the payment of benefits at the death of the insured director. The amount of benefits will be determined by the performance of the policies over the director’s life.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND UNFUNDED CREDITS

 

The Company, through its banking subsidiary is a party to credit related financial instruments with risk not reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

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

 

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

 

     2004

   2003

Commitments to extend credit

   $ 49,186,000    $ 39,760,000

Stand-by letters of credit

     5,254,000      4,099,000

Rate lock commitments

     1,061,600      1,613,700

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

At December 31, 2004, the Bank had locked-rate commitments to originate mortgage loans amounting to $1,061,600 and loans held for sale of $190,000. The Bank has entered into commitments, on a best-effort basis to sell loans of approximately $1,251,600. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Bank does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.

 

The Bank has cash accounts in other commercial banks. The amount on deposit at these banks at December 31, 2004, exceeded the insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation by $288,537.

NOTE 13. CONTINGENCIES

 

Occasionally, during the course of its operations, the Company and its subsidiaries have been parties to legal proceedings. The Company currently is a defendant in an action filed in October 2002 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia by John M. Floyd & Associates, Inc., a vendor of overdraft privilege programs. Floyd claims breach of an alleged contract arising from the Company’s decision not to install Floyd’s overdraft privilege program, and seeks the fee it would have received under that alleged contract. The Company is vigorously defending this action. In November 2004, the Court granted partial summary judgment for these motions on behalf of both parties. The Company expects the trial to occur during the second quarter of 2005. Although the outcome cannot be predicted with certainty, based on information available, and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes that the ultimate outcome of this litigation should be favorable to the Company. However, in the event that the ultimate outcome is not favorable, potential recovery by the vendor is approximately $300,000.

 

NOTE 14. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

During the year, executive officers and directors (and companies controlled by them) were customers of and had transactions with the Company in the normal course of business. These transactions were made on substantially the same terms as those prevailing for other customers.

 

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, these loans, which in the aggregate exceeded $60,000 to the borrower, totaled $4,825,760 and $3,570,620, respectively. During 2004, total principal additions were $5,761,288 and total principal payments were $4,506,148.

 

NOTE 15. LEASE COMMITMENTS

 

The Company was obligated under noncancelable leases for banking premises. Total rental expense for operating leases for 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $95,347, $71,914 and $101,350, respectively. Minimum rental commitments under noncancelable leases with terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2004 were as follows:

NOTE 16. DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

 

The Company has in effect a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) which provides an automatic conversion of dividends into common stock for enrolled shareholders. Stock is purchased on the open market on each dividend payable date.

 

Shares of common stock can be issued by the Company or purchased in the open market for the additional shares required for the DRIP. The Company purchased common stock on the open market for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

NOTE 17. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND INTEREST RATE RISK

 

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

 

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

Securities

 

For securities available for sale and held for investment purposes, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.

 

Loans

 

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

 

Deposit Liabilities

 

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

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

 

Commitments and Unfunded Credits

 

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.

 

The fair value of stand-by letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, fair value of loan commitments and standby letters of credit was immaterial.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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

 

NOTE 18. REGULATORY MATTERS

 

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of 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, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total (as defined in the regulations) and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

 

As of December 31, 2004, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.
