MIDDLEBURG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDAIRIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1.

General

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at March 31, 2007 and the results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the “2006 Form 10-K”) of Middleburg Financial Corporation (the “Company”). The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Note 2.

Stock –Based Employee Compensation Plan

 

As of March 31, 2007, the Company sponsored one stock-based compensation plan (the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan), which provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, performance share awards, incentive awards and stock units. The 2006 Equity Compensation Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting held on April 26, 2006 and has succeeded the Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. Under the plan, the Company may grant stock-based compensation to its directors, officers, employees and other persons the Company determines have contributed to the profits or growth of the Company. The Company may grant awards with respect to up to 255,000 shares of common stock under the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan.

 

The Company granted 7,948 stock awards (non-vested shares) during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The shares are split equally between service condition awards and performance condition awards. The requisite service period for the awards is three years. All awards expire ten years from the grant date. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, there was $16,000 in compensation expense related to these grants.

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of the grant and eliminates the choice to account for stock options under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method and, as such, results for prior periods have not been restated.

The unrealized losses in the portfolio as of March 31, 2007 are considered temporary and are a result of the current interest rate environment and not increased credit risk. Of the temporarily impaired securities, 66 are investment grade and one is non-rated. The federal agency mortgage-backed securities have the largest temporary impairment but are issued by government sponsored enterprises (Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation). The non-rated security is a corporate trust preferred security that has a par value at maturity of $77,000. Market prices change daily and are affected by conditions beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until the temporary loss is recovered, decisions by management may necessitate the sale before the loss is fully recovered. Investment decisions reflect the strategic asset/liability objectives of the Company. The investment portfolio is analyzed frequently and managed to provide an overall positive impact to the Company’s income statement and balance sheet.

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates in a decentralized fashion in two principal business activities: banking services and trust and investment advisory services. Revenue from banking activities consists primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities, service charges on deposit accounts, and income recognized from the 41.8% investment of Middleburg Bank (the “Bank”) in Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC.

 

Revenues from the trust and investment advisory revenue is comprised of fees based upon the market value of the accounts under administration. The trust and investment advisory services are

 

11

 


conducted by the two subsidiaries of Middleburg Investment Group, Inc - Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors, Inc.

 

The banking segment has assets in custody with Middleburg Trust Company and accordingly pays Middleburg Trust Company a monthly fee. The banking segment also pays interest to both Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors on deposit accounts that each company has at the Bank. Middleburg Investment Advisors pays the Company a management fee each month for accounting and other services provided. Transactions related to these relationships are eliminated to reach consolidated totals.

 

The following table presents segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but may change current practice for some entities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument and is irrevocable. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS No. 159 may have on its consolidated financial statements but does not intend to adopt the Statement early.

Item 2.

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

 

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company at and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report and in the 2006 Form 10K. It should also be read in conjunction with the “Caution About Forward Looking Statements” section at the end of this discussion.

 

Overview

 

The Company is headquartered in Middleburg, Virginia and conducts its primary operations through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Middleburg Bank and Middleburg Investment Group, Inc. The Bank is a community bank serving the Virginia counties of Loudoun, Fairfax and Fauquier with seven financial service centers and two limited service facilities. Middleburg Investment Group is a non-bank holding company with two wholly owned subsidiaries, Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors, Inc. Middleburg Trust Company is a trust company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, and maintains offices in several of the Company’s financial service centers. Middleburg Investment Advisors is a registered investment advisor headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia serving clients in 24 states.

 

The Company operates under a business model that makes all of its financial and wealth management services available to its clients at all of its financial service centers. Financial service centers are larger than most traditional retail banking branches in order to allow commercial, mortgage, retail and wealth management personnel and services to be readily available to serve clients. By working together in the financial service center and the market, the team at each financial service center becomes more effective in expanding relationships with current clients and new clients. The Company’s goal is to assist in the creation, preservation and ultimate transfer of the wealth of its clients.

 

The Company generates a significant amount of its income from the net interest income earned by the Bank. Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income depends on the amount of interest-earning assets outstanding during the period and the interest rates earned thereon. The Company’s cost of money is a function of the average amount of deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid thereon. The quality of the assets further influences the amount of interest income lost on non-accrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses.

 

Middleburg Investment Group’s subsidiaries, Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors, generate fee income by providing investment management and trust services to their clients. Investment management and trust fees are generally based upon the value of assets under management and, therefore, can be significantly affected by fluctuation in the values of securities caused by changes in the capital markets.

 

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased to $2.1 million from $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Annualized returns on average assets and average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were 1.1% and 10.7%, respectively, compared to 1.1% and 15.2% for the same period in 2006. The Company’s continued focus on loan growth resulted in an increase in interest income. Interest and fees on loans increased 12.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $10.0 million, compared to $8.9 million for the same period in 2006. Core operations have been impacted by increased funding costs. Total interest expense was $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Trust and

 

14

 


investment advisory fees increased 3.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. Total other expense was $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2006.

 

The Company is not aware of any current recommendations by any regulatory authorities that, if they were implemented, would have a material effect on the registrant’s liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

General

 

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

 

Presented below is discussion of those accounting policies that management believes are the most important (“Critical Accounting Policies”) to the portrayal and understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Critical Accounting Policies require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

15

 


and recoveries; changes in underwriting standards and risk selection; level of experience, ability and depth of lending management; and national and local economic conditions.

 

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

 

Intangibles and Goodwill

 

The Company had approximately $5.5 million in intangible assets and goodwill at March 31, 2007, a decrease of $84,000 since December 31, 2006. On April 1, 2002, the Company acquired Middleburg Investment Advisors, a registered investment advisor, for $6.0 million. Approximately $5.9 million of the purchase price was allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. In connection with this investment, a purchase price valuation (using SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, as a guideline) was completed to determine the appropriate allocation to identified intangibles. The valuation concluded that approximately 42% of the purchase price was related to the acquisition of customer relationships with an amortizable life of 15 years. Another 19% of the purchase price was allocated to a non-compete agreement with an amortizable life of seven years. The remainder of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill. Approximately $1.0 million of the $5.5 million in intangible assets and goodwill at March 31, 2007 was attributable to the Company’s investment in Middleburg Trust Company.

 

The purchase price allocation process requires management estimates and judgment as to expectations for the life span of various customer relationships as well as the value that key members of management add to the success of the Company. For example, customer attrition rates were determined based upon assumptions that the past five years may predict the future. If the actual attrition rates, among other assumptions, differed from the estimates and judgments used in the purchase price allocation, the amounts recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill or require an acceleration in the amortization expense.

 

In addition, SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested annually using a two-step process. The first step is to identify a potential impairment. The second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Processes and procedures have been identified for the two-step process.

 

When the Company completes its ongoing review of the recoverability of intangible assets and goodwill, factors that are considered important to determining whether an impairment might exist include loss of customers acquired or significant withdrawals of the assets currently under management and/or early retirement or termination of key members of management. Any changes in the key management estimates or judgments could result in an impairment charge, and such a charge could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Financial Condition

 

Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity

 

Total assets for the Company increased to $787.8 million at March 31, 2007, compared to $772.3 million at December 31, 2006, representing an increase of $15.5 million or 2.0%. Total average assets increased 4.1% from $745.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $776.0 million for the same period in 2007. Total liabilities were $708.4 million at March 31, 2007, compared to $694.4 million at December 31, 2006. Total average liabilities increased $6.8 million or 1.0% to $697.0 million at March 31, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. Average shareholders’ equity increased 43.5% or $23.9 million over the same periods. The increase in average shareholders’ equity was the result of the underwritten common stock offering in July 2006, which resulted in net proceeds of $19.5 million.

 

Loans

 

Total loans at March 31, 2007 were $584.5 million, an increase of $15.0 million from the December 31, 2006 amount of $569.5 million. The Company continues to see increases in real estate construction loans, which were $82.8 million at March 31, 2007 or 14.2% of total loans. Real estate mortgage loans of $448.1 million at March 31, 2007 were relatively unchanged from the December 31, 2006 amount of $447.7 million. A solid local economy and referrals arising from the success of the business model have contributed to the loan growth experienced. Net charge-offs were $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $152,000 compared to $250,000 for the same period in 2006. The allowance for loan losses was $5.7 million or 0.98% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2007.

 

Securities

 

Securities decreased to $134.0 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $135.4 million at December 31, 2006. The Company plans to maintain the securities portfolio at an amount comparable to the December 31, 2006 amount in a effort to provide returns while maintaining a source of liquidity. At March 31, 2007, the tax equivalent yield on the securities portfolio was 5.91%.

 

Premises and Equipment

 

Premises and equipment increased $455,000 from $18.4 million at December 31, 2006 to $18.9 million at March 31, 2007.

 

Other Assets

 

The other assets section of the balance sheet includes Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI), in the amount of $12.1 million, and the Bank’s investment in Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC, in the amount of $9.5 million, at March 31, 2007. Goodwill and identified intangibles of $5.5 million related to the acquisitions of Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors are also included in other assets as of March 31, 2007.

 

Deposits

 

Although deposits decreased $13.8 million to $556.8 million at March 31, 2007 from $570.6 million at December 31, 2006, average deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 increased 2.6% or $14.6 million compared to average deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in deposits is primarily due to the maturity and withdrawal of $15 million in certificates of deposit of public funds during the

 

17

 


month of March 2007. The total $15 million was held by one public depositor who needed the funds for each cash flow purposes. Average interest bearing deposits were $448.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $422.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

 

The Company has an interest bearing product, known as Tredegar Institutional Select, that integrates the use of the cash within client accounts at Middleburg Trust Company for overnight funding at the Bank. The overall balance of this product was $38.3 million at March 31, 2007 and is reflected in both the “savings and interest bearing demand deposits” and the “securities sold under agreements to repurchase” amounts on the balance sheet. Excluding the Tredegar Institutional Select product, savings and interest bearing demand deposits grew by $6.8 million from December 31, 2006 to March 31, 2007.

 

Time deposits decreased $12.3 million from December 31, 2006 to $179.3 million at March 31, 2007. Time deposits include brokered certificates of deposit of $25.1 million with maturities ranging from one month to three years. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“Repo Accounts”) increased $1.4 million from $38.5 million at December 31, 2006 to $39.9 million at March 31, 2007. The Repo Accounts include certain long-term commercial checking accounts with average balances that typically exceed $100,000 and all Tredegar Institutional Select accounts maintained by business clients.

Interest income from loans increased $1.1 million to $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $8.9 million for the same period in 2006. The increase in loan interest income resulted from the amount of loan growth experienced since March 31, 2006. The weighted average yield of loans increased 29 basis points from 6.77% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to 7.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The net increase in real estate construction loans, which are typically indexed to the prime lending rate, of $13.8 million during the first three months of 2007 helped mitigate the impact of record low interest rates on fixed rate loan products to the Company. Loans tied to the Wall Street Journal prime interest rate were $92.8 million, or 15.9%, of total loans at March 31, 2007.

 

Interest income from the securities portfolio and interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions was unchanged at $1.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2006 despite the decrease in the average securities of $15.0 million. In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company restructured $13.9 million of the securities portfolio, which resulted in an increase of 2.0% in yield and $311,000 in interest income. The tax equivalent yield on securities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased 57 basis points to 5.91% compared to the March 31, 2006 yield of 5.34%. For 2007, management plans to continue to maintain the balance in the investment portfolio at or near current levels through reinvestment in securities.

 

Average deposits increased $14.6 million from $551.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $565.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Total interest expense on deposits increased $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. Competition for deposits continued to exert upward pressures on the cost of deposits as consumer preference shifted more to certificates of deposit, thus resulting in increased levels of interest expense. The average balance of interest bearing demand accounts (interest bearing checking, savings and money market accounts) decreased 8.8% to $257.2 million at March 31, 2007. The costs of such funding increased 29 basis points during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The average balance in time deposits increased 36.6% from March 31, 2006 to March 31, 2007, while the cost of such funding increased 95 basis points or $922,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.

 

Interest expense for securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which includes Tredegar Institutional Select, increased $183,000 from the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $506,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Tredegar Institutional Select earns interest at a rate equal to approximately 90% of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta’s overnight rate. Interest expense related to borrowed funds decreased $274,000 from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $920,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

 

The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 4.05% for the same period in 2006. The Company’s net interest margin is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, but it is a common measure used by the financial service industry to determine how profitably earning assets are funded. The net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets. Because a portion of interest income earned by the Company is non taxable, the tax equivalent net interest income is considered in the calculation of this ratio. Tax equivalent net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit realized from interest income that is nontaxable to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. The tax rate utilized in calculating the tax benefit for 2007 and 2006 is 34%. The reconciliation of tax equivalent net interest income, which is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, to net interest income is reflected in the table below.

The decline in tax equivalent net interest margin was attributed the flat yield curve and intense competition for loans and deposits in the Company’s markets. The Company’s total average earning assets increased $31.0 million from the three months ended March 31, 2006 to the three months ended March 31, 2007, while the yield on average earnings assets increased by 38 basis points when comparing the same periods. The lack of growth in overall deposits and a shift in the composition of the Company’s deposits resulted in an overall negative impact to the net interest margin. Average balances in interest checking, regular savings and money market accounts decreased by $24.9 million when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2006 to the same period in 2007. The weighted average cost of these accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was 2.07% and 1.78%, respectively. Conversely, the average balance of certificates of deposits increased $51.1 million when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2006 to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The weighted average cost of the Company’s certificates of deposits increased 95 basis points to 4.68% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

 

Non-interest Income

 

Non-interest income includes, among other items, fees generated by the retail banking and investment services departments of the Bank as well as by Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC, Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors. Non-interest income decreased 1.6% to $2.1 million for the first three months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.

 

Commissions and fees from trust and investment advisory activities increased 3.2% or $34,000 to $1.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Consolidated investment advisory fees provided by Middleburg Investment Advisors totaled $548,000 and $558,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At March 31, 2007, assets under management at Middleburg Investment Advisors had decreased $10.4 million from $590.6 million at March 31, 2006 to $580.2 million. Consolidated fiduciary fees for services, provided by Middleburg Trust Company, increased 8.4% to $556,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007

 

21

 


from $513,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Fiduciary fees are based upon the market value of the accounts under administration. At March 31, 2007, Middleburg Trust Company managed $601.9 million in assets, including intercompany assets of $98.4 million, a decrease of 3.4% or $18.9 million from assets under administration of $620.8 million, including intercompany assets of $122.8 million, at March 31, 2006. Intercompany assets include portions of the investment portfolios of the Bank, Middleburg Trust Company and the holding company, Middleburg Financial Corporation. Fiduciary fees on intercompany assets have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Service charges on deposits increased 6.9% to $466,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $436,000 for the same period in 2006. In particular, ATM and Visa check card fees increased approximately $8,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 when compared to the same period in 2006. Overdraft service charges increased $22,000 or 12.7% to $174,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 when compared to the same period in 2006.

 

Commissions on investment sales decreased 34.2% to $127,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $193,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The Company currently has two financial consultants who are available to each of the Company’s financial service centers, compared to three financial consultants in 2006.

 

Equity in earnings from affiliate, which reflects the 41.8% ownership interest in Southern Trust Mortgage, comprised 2.5% of total non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 4.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Southern Trust Mortgage closed $215.3 million in loans the first three months of 2007 with 52.7% of its production attributable to purchase money financings. For the same period in 2006, Southern Trust Mortgage closed $213.8 million in loans with 61.0% of its production attributable to purchase money financings.

 

In addition to equity earnings from Southern Trust Mortgage, the Bank also receives rental and data processing fees and interest on the outstanding balance of loan participations with Southern Trust Mortgage. These amounts are included in other operating income. For the three month periods ending March 31, 2007 and 2006, the rental and data processing income earned from Southern Trust Mortgage was $30,000 and $17,000, respectively.

 

Income earned from the Bank’s initial $10.8 million investment in Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) contributed $109,000 to total other income for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The Company purchased $6.0 million of BOLI in the third quarter of 2004 and $4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 to help subsidize increasing employee benefit costs and expenses related to the restructure of its supplemental retirement plans.

 

Non-interest Expense

 

Total non-interest expense includes employee-related costs, occupancy and equipment expense and other overhead. Total non-interest expense increased 3.1% or $173,000 from $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. When taken as a percentage of total average assets, the quarter’s non-interest expense was 0.74% of total average assets for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

 

Salaries and employee benefits decreased 3.9% when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2007 to the three months ended March 31, 2006. The decrease is the result of cost savings recognized in employee life and health insurance expense due to a change in insurance plans offered to employees and the decrease in commissions due to the decrease in investment sales fees.

 

22

 


Net occupancy expense increased by $76,000 or 10.3% from $741,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $817,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase is the result of the Company’s growth as well as maintenance and improvements of the Company’s facilities. As growth efforts continue to progress, the Company anticipates higher levels of occupancy expense to be incurred.

 

Computer operations expense increased from $233,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $258,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase is the result of price increases in maintenance contracts for computer hardware and additional software.

 

Audit and examinations expense increased from $57,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $214,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase is the result of $60,000 in additional accruals for independent audits and regulatory examinations as well as $97,000 in expenses incurred for audit testing.

 

Other tax expense increased 24.8% to $156,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $125,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase was the result of the Bank’s franchise tax, which is paid to the state in lieu of an income tax and is based on the Bank’s equity capital. The Bank’s equity capital increase is primarily the result of the common stock offering in July 2006.

 

Other expense increased 2.3% or $21,000 to $934,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $913,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase resulted from small increases in various expense categories, including advertising, office supplies, courier services and entertainment, due to the Company’s growth.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2007 was $5.7 million compared to $5.4 million at March 31, 2006. The allowance for loan losses was 0.98% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006. The provision for loan losses was $152,000 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2007. The provision was $250,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, net loan charge-offs totaled $6,000, compared to $23,000 for the same period in 2006. Total loans past due 90 days or more at March 31, 2007 were approximately $22,000. There were no non-performing loans at March 31, 2007 compared to $11,000 at March 31, 2006. At March 31, 2007, total loans greater than 30 days past due totaled $1.7 million. It is anticipated that approximately $500,000 of those loan balances could be placed on non-accrual status during the second quarter of 2007. However, at this time, no loss is expected from the past due loans. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2007. Loans classified as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention are adequately reserved for and are not expected to have a material impact beyond what has been reserved.

 

Capital Resources

 

Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $79.3 million and $77.9 million, respectively. Total common shares outstanding at March 31, 2007 were 4,505,605.

 

At March 31, 2007, the Company’s tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 12.7% and 13.6%, respectively, compared to 12.8% and 13.7% at December 31, 2006. The Company’s leverage ratio was 10.4% at March 31, 2007 compared to 10.3% at December 31, 2006. The leverage ratio is a measure of the relationship between the Company’s tier 1 capital and total average assets. The Company’s capital structure places it above the well capitalized regulatory guidelines, which affords the

 

23

 


Company the opportunity to take advantage of business opportunities while ensuring that it has the resources to protect against risk inherent in its business.

 

Liquidity

 

Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, short-term investments, securities classified as available for sale and loans and securities maturing within one year. As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.

 

The Company has relied on wholesale funding and issued trust preferred securities to support its growth in the past. The Company will continue to evaluate funding alternatives as necessary to support future growth.

 

The Company also maintains additional sources of liquidity through a variety of borrowing arrangements. The Company maintains federal funds lines with large regional and money-center banking institutions. These available lines totaled $8.0 million, none of which were outstanding at March 31, 2007. Federal funds purchased during the first three months of 2007 averaged $519,000 compared to an average of $942,000 during the same period in 2006. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had $39.9 million and $38.5 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings pursuant to repurchase agreements, with maturities of one day.

 

The Company has a credit line in the amount of $229.5 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. This line may be utilized for short and/or long-term borrowing. The Company utilized the credit line for both overnight and long-term funding throughout the first three months of 2007. Short-term and long-term advances averaged $36.4 million and $41.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

 

At March 31, 2007, cash, interest bearing deposits with financial institutions, federal funds sold, short-term investments, loans held for sale and securities available for sale were 27.5% of total deposits.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

 

Commitments to extend credit decreased $1.2 million to $102.1 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $103.3 million at December 31, 2006. 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. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent expected future cash flows. Standby letters of credit were $4.0 million at March 31, 2007. This amount is a decrease from $4.1 million at December 31, 2006.

 

Contractual obligations decreased $5.2 million to $48.7 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $53.9 million at December 31, 2006. This change results from maturities on certain long-term debt obligations and decreases in operating lease obligations. Additional information on commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and contractual obligations is included in the 2006 Form 10-K.

Caution About Forward Looking Statements

 

Certain information contained in this discussion may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by phrases such as “the Company expects,” “the Company believes” or words of similar import.

 

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks including, but not limited to, the following factors:

 

 

the ability to continue to attract low cost core deposits to fund asset growth;

 

the successful management of interest rate risk;

 

changes in general economic and business conditions in the Company’s market area;

 

the ability to successfully manage the Company’s growth or implement its growth strategies if it is unable to identify attractive markets, locations or opportunities to expand in the future;

 

maintaining cost controls and asset qualities as the Company opens or acquires new branches;

 

changes in interest rates and interest rate policies;

 

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

 

demand, development and acceptance of new products and services;

 

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

 

reliance on the Company’s management team, including its ability to attract and retain key personnel;

 

changing trends in customer profiles and behavior;

 

maintaining capital levels adequate to support the Company’s growth;

 

changes in banking and other laws and regulations applicable to the Company; and

 

problems with technology utilized by the Company.

 

Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reliable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

 

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk, though it should be noted that the assets under management by Middleburg Trust Company are affected by equity price risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of interest rate risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability management process, which is governed by policies established by its Board of Directors that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board of Directors delegates responsibility for carrying out asset/liability management policies to the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) of the Bank. In this capacity, ALCO develops guidelines and strategies that govern the Company’s asset/liability management related activities, based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends.

Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with the Company’s financial instruments also change, affecting net interest income, the primary component of the Company’s earnings. ALCO uses the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. While ALCO routinely monitors simulated net interest income sensitivity over a rolling two-year horizon, it also employs additional tools to monitor potential longer-term interest rate risk. In January 2007, the Company changed its ALCO simulation service provider. The simulation model was run with the Company’s January 31, 2007 data. As a result of the change in ALCO simulation service providers, there were some changes to the assumptions used in creating the model, which included the use of prepayment assumptions related to commercial real estate loans, more aggressive prepayment assumptions related to residential real estate loans and more timely and aggressive pricing assumptions related to time deposits. The change in assumptions produced results that varied from the results of the simulation for the period ended December 31, 2006. The Company is currently assessing the changes in assumptions as compared to actual results and will continue to do so as it builds historical data with new ALCO simulation service provider.

 

The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet. The simulation model is prepared and updated four times during each year. This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point (bp) upward shift and a 200 basis point downward shift in interest rates. A parallel shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed. The following reflects the range of the Company’s net interest income sensitivity analysis during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006.

At March 31, 2007, the Company’s interest rate risk model indicated that, in a rising rate environment of 200 basis points over a 12 month period, net interest income could decrease by 1.55% on average. For the same time period the interest rate risk model indicated that in a declining rate environment of 200 basis points over a 12 month period net interest income could decrease by 1.38% on average. While these numbers are subjective based upon the parameters used within the model, management believes the balance sheet is very balanced with little risk to rising rates in the future.

 

Since December 31, 2006, the Company’s balance sheet has grown by $15.5 million. Increased borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank have provided the funding for the growth in the loan portfolio. The Company’s interest rate profile is liability sensitive bias for the next 12 months. Based upon a March 31, 2007 simulation, the Company could expect an average negative impact to net interest income of $424,000 over the next 12 months if rates rise 200 basis points. If rates were to decline 200 basis points, the Company could expect an average negative impact to net interest income of $377,000 over the next 12 months.

 

26

 


The Company maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that has used derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility. The Company’s specific goal is to lower (where possible) the cost of its borrowed funds.

 

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate levels such as yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cashflows. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances about the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

 

Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to factors such as prepayment and refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change, caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes, and other internal and external variables. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that ALCO might take in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in interest rates.

 

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Company’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of it that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
