Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors

First Market Bank, F.S.B.

Richmond, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Market Bank, F.S.B. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 Market Bank, F.S.B. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have examined, in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the internal control over financial reporting of First Market Bank, F.S.B. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and our report dated March 25, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors

First Market Bank, F.S.B.

Richmond, Virginia

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Report of Management – Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that First Market Bank, F.S.B. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). First Market Bank, F.S.B.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assertion of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management – Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion based on our examination.

We conducted our examination in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards required that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our examination included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our examination also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

An entity’s internal control over financial reporting is a process effected by those charged with governance, management, and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation of reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. An entity’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and those charged with governance; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

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

In our opinion, management’s assertion that First Market Bank, F.S.B. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based upon the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows of First Market Bank, F.S.B. and our report dated March 25, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion.

We were not engaged to, and we have not performed any procedures with respect to management’s assertion regarding compliance with laws and regulations included in the accompanying Report of Management. Accordingly, we do not express any opinion, or any other form of assurance, on management’s assertion regarding compliance with laws and regulations.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the board of directors and management of First Market Bank, F.S.B. and the Office of Thrift Supervision and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

First Market Bank, F.S.B. and Subsidiaries

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

Note 1. Nature of Banking Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of operations: First Market Bank, F.S.B. (the Bank), a federally chartered stock savings bank, began operating November 4, 1997, and provides banking services to the Virginia market. For the period January 1, 2007 through September 29, 2008, the Bank was 49% owned by Ukrop’s Thrift Holdings, Inc., 40.1% owned by Markel Corporation, 4.45% owned each by James E. Ukrop and Robert S. Ukrop, and 2% owned by Ukrop’s Services, LC. On September 30, 2008, the Bank issued 68.262 shares of Class A common stock for $6.0 million. Markel Corporation was issued 34.131 shares and certain members of the Ukrop family were issued shares totaling 34.131 shares. For the period September 30, 2008 through December 31, 2008, the Bank was 45.87% owned by Ukrop’s Thrift Holdings, Inc., 40.72% owned by Markel Corporation, 4.17% owned each by James E. Ukrop and Robert S. Ukrop, 3.20% owned by certain members of the Ukrop family, and 1.87% owned by Ukrop’s Services, L.C.

The Bank provides a wide array of financial services for consumers and businesses through its branches located in the Richmond metropolitan area, Fredericksburg, Roanoke and Williamsburg markets. In addition to these activities, the Bank generates noninterest income by sales of personal trust and asset management products and services, and other nondeposit investment services.

The Bank is subject to the regulations of certain federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.

Basis of presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of the Bank and its subsidiaries, FM Mortgage Holdings, LLC, First Market Advisors, Inc., First Market Title, Inc., and First Market Insurance Agency, Inc. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices within the banking industry. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

A summary of the Bank’s significant accounting policies follows:

Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly sensitive to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, fair value of investments and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Cash, cash equivalents and cash flows: For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks as well as time deposits in other banks and include cash items in process of clearing, all of which mature within ninety days. Cash flows from loans, federal funds purchased and sold, short-term borrowed funds and deposits are reported net.

The Bank maintains amounts due from banks that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Bank has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Investment securities: Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and recorded at amortized cost. 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 (loss), net of the deferred tax effect.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale 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 Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses reflect the difference between fair market value and amortized cost of the individual securities as of the reporting date.

Loans: 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 adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time a loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual 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 non-accrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for loan losses: The Bank’s allowance for loan losses is the amount considered adequate to absorb probable losses within the loan portfolio based on management’s evaluation of the size and current risk characteristics of the portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as additional information becomes available or as economic conditions change.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that 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, 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 if the loan is collateral dependent.

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, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

Off-balance-sheet credit related financial instruments: In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Interest rate swap agreements: For asset/liability management purposes, the Bank uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge various exposures or to modify interest rate characteristics of various balance sheet accounts. Such derivatives are used as part of the asset/liability management process and are linked to specific assets or liabilities, and have high correlation between the contract and the underlying item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedge period.

The Bank utilizes interest rate swap agreements to convert a portion of its variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate (cash flow hedge), and to convert a portion of its fixed-rate loans to a variable-rate (fair value hedge). Interest rate swaps are contracts in which a series of interest rate flows are exchanged over a prescribed period. The notional amount on which the interest payments are based is not exchanged.

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, the gain or loss on a derivative designated and qualifying as a fair value hedging instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged, is recognized currently in earnings in the same accounting period. The effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative designated and qualifying as a cash flow hedging instrument is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, if any, is recognized currently in earnings.

Interest rate derivative financial instruments receive hedge accounting treatment only if they are designated as a hedge and are expected to be, and are, effective in substantially reducing interest rate risk arising from the assets and liabilities identified as exposing the Bank to risk. Those derivative financial instruments that do not meet the hedging criteria discussed below would be classified as trading activities and would be recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in income. Derivative hedge contracts must meet specific effectiveness tests (i.e., over time the change in their fair values due to the designated hedge risk must be within 80 to 125 percent of the

Note 1. Nature of Banking Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

opposite change in the fair values of the hedged assets or liabilities). Changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments must be effective at offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items due to the designated hedge risk during the term of the hedge. Further, if the underlying financial instrument differs from the hedged asset or liability, there must be a clear economic relationship between the prices of the two financial instruments. If periodic assessment indicates derivatives no longer provide an effective hedge, the derivatives contracts would be closed out and settled or classified as a trading activity.

In accordance with SFAS No. 133, hedges of variable-rate debt are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with changes in fair value recorded in derivative assets or liabilities and other comprehensive income (loss). The net settlement (upon close out or termination) that offsets changes in the value of the hedged debt is deferred and amortized into net interest income over the life of the hedged debt. Hedges of fixed-rate loans are accounted for as fair value hedges, with changes in fair value recorded in derivative assets or liabilities and loan interest income. The net settlement (upon close out or termination) that offsets changes in the value of the loans adjusts the basis of the loans and is deferred and amortized to loan interest income over the life of the loans. The portion, if any, of the net settlement amount that did not offset changes in the value of the hedged asset or liability is recognized immediately as non-interest income.

Cash flows resulting from the derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as hedges of assets and liabilities are classified in the cash flows statement in the same category as the cash flows of the items being hedged.

Bank premises and equipment: Land is carried at cost. Bank premises and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Valuation of long-lived assets: The Bank accounts for the valuation of long-lived assets under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the long-lived asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reportable at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.

Transfers of financial assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Bank, (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 Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

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

Trust assets and fees: Assets of the trust department, other than trust cash on deposit at the Bank, are not included in these consolidated financial statements because they are not assets of the Bank. Trust fees are recognized in income using the accrual method.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

In December 2008, the FASB provided for a deferral of the effective date of FIN 48 for certain nonpublic enterprises to annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Bank has elected this deferral and accordingly will be required to adopt FIN 48 in its 2009 annual financial statements. Prior to adoption of FIN 48, the Bank will continue to evaluate its uncertain tax positions and related income tax contingencies under Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. SFAS No. 5 requires the Bank to accrue for losses it believes are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management is currently assessing the impact of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations and has not yet determined if the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which permits a one-year deferral for the implementation of SFAS No. 157 with regard to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Bank adopted SFAS No. 157 for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008, except for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis for which delayed application is permitted until fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Bank is currently assessing the potential effect of the adoption of the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 157 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

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

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). The Standard will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles for how an acquirer recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for acquisition dates on or after the beginning of an entity’s first year that begins after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement will impact the Company’s accounting for and reporting of any acquisitions completed after January 1, 2009.

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

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 requires additional disclosures about the objectives of using derivative instruments, the method by which the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement No. 133 and its related interpretations, and the effect of derivative instruments and related hedged items on financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 also requires disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, or the Bank’s quarter ended March 31, 2009. As this pronouncement is only disclosure-related, it will not have an impact on the financial position and results of operations.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to the following primary relevant factors (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, (3) the continued ability of the issuer to maintain payment of the coupon or dividend, (4) adverse market, or other significant factors, and (5) the intent and ability of the Bank 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, 2008, there were $14,310,069 of individual securities that had been in a continuous loss position for more than 12 months. Additionally, these securities had an unrealized loss of $802,044 and primarily consisted of mortgage-backed securities. Since the declines in fair value were attributable to changes in market interest rates, not in estimated cash flows or credit quality, no other-than-temporary impairment was recorded at December 31, 2008.

In September 2008, the United States Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced that the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) would be placed under conservatorship, eliminating dividend payments on its common and preferred stock and giving management control to its regulator, the FHFA. Subsequent to this announcement, the market price of the Freddie Mac preferred stock owned by the Bank declined significantly and based on the closing price of the securities on September 30, 2008, the Bank had an unrealized loss in these securities of $4,429,260. This amount was charged to earnings as an other-than temporary impairment loss.

Preferred stocks are considered to be capital assets for federal income tax purposes and losses on capital assets ordinarily can only be offset against capital gains on corporate tax returns. However, the Emergency Economic Stability Act passed and signed into law on October 3, 2008, included a provision which allowed qualified financial institutions to deduct the Freddie Mac loss as ordinary rather than capital loss. A reduction in the income tax provision and a similar deferred tax asset in the amount of $1,722,982 was recorded.

 

Note 4. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system, the Bank is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLB in an amount equal to .20% of its total assets as of December 31st of the prior year (up to a maximum of $25 million), plus 4.5% of its outstanding FHLB advances (of which up to 2% of the Bank’s required investment can be utilized from the excess capital stock ownership of other FHLB members). The Bank’s investment is carried at cost.

Note 10. Series A Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007,100 shares of Series A 9% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $100,000 per share, were outstanding (Series A Preferred).

Series A Preferred Stockholder’s Rights:

Dividends: The holders of Series A Preferred are entitled to receive, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, a non-cumulative quarterly cash dividend at the annual rate of $9,000 per share, or 9% of the stated value of $100,000 per share.

Liquidation: Upon any liquidation of the Bank, the holders of the Series A Preferred are entitled to receive, before any distribution of assets is made to the common stockholders, an amount equal to the sum of $100,000 per share plus the then-current quarterly dividend, whether or not declared, but without accumulation of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods.

Voting: The holders of Series A Preferred are entitled, voting as a separate class, to elect one director to the Board of Directors. The Bank may not, without an affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred stockholders, voting as a separate class, (i) create or increase the authorized number of shares of any class or series of stock having a preference senior to the shares of Series A Preferred, or (ii) change the preferences, qualifications, privileges, limitations, restrictions or special or relative rights granted to or imposed upon the shares of Series A Preferred.

Optional redemption: The Series A Preferred is not redeemable prior to March 31, 2011.

Conversion: In the event the Bank was to effect an initial public offering of any class of common stock, holders of Series A Preferred have the right to elect to convert all, or any portion, of their shares into shares of the class of common stock to be offered and sold based on the liquidation price of the shares to be converted and a conversion price equal to 94% of the actual sale price per share offered to the public in the initial public offering. Upon consummation of an initial public offering, any shares of Series A Preferred that remain outstanding will cease to be convertible.

 

Note 11. Related Party Transactions

The Bank has, in the ordinary course of business, entered into lending transactions with directors and executive officers of the Bank and their affiliates. Management believes these transactions were made on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present any other unfavorable features. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Bank had loans to directors and executive officers of approximately $5,515,000 and $5,275,000, respectively.

The outstanding balance relative to these loan participation agreements totaled $25,098,808 and $18,741,959 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Note 12. Employee Benefit Plans

The Bank has a 401(k) plan whereby substantially all employees participate in the plan. The plan is a deferred compensation plan, commonly referred to as a 401(k) plan whereby an employee may contribute a portion of their compensation, subject to regulatory limitations. For the years ending December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Bank made matching contributions equal to 100% of each participating employee’s contribution made up to 3% of compensation (as defined in the plan), plus a matching contribution of 50% for each participating employee’s contribution made between 3% and 5% of compensation (as defined in the plan), resulting in a total matching contribution of up to 4% of an employee’s annual compensation. The Bank made additional discretionary contributions to eligible employees equal to 1% of compensation for the years ending December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Bank’s matching and discretionary contributions for 2008 and 2007 were approximately $794,000 and $651,000, respectively.

The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) was adopted effective January 1, 2007, for the purpose of supplementing the retirement benefits payable under the Bank’s tax-qualified plans for certain of its key executives. The Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations thereunder. Participation in the SERP is determined by the Board of Directors. The Bank’s contributions to the SERP for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $30,000 and $25,000, respectively.

Note 13. Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of December 31, 2008, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2008, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) 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 Bank’s category.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 are presented in the following table:

 

     2008     2007  

Tier I capital

   $ 90,034,000      $ 82,751,000   

Total capital

Note 13. Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements (Continued)

 

Dividend restriction:

The approval of the Bank’s regulatory agencies is required to pay dividends that exceed the Bank’s net profits for the current year plus its retained net profits for the preceding two years. The Bank did not pay dividends in excess of these amounts during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

 

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Credit extension commitments:

The Bank is a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk 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 balance sheets.

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

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

 

     2008    2007

Commitments to grant loans

   $ 320,468,894    $ 332,170,700

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written

     19,540,335      17,892,153
             
   $ 340,009,229    $ 350,062,853
             

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 future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

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 uncollateralized 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.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional lending commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Essentially all letters of credit 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.

Litigation:

Various legal claims arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 15. Concentrations of Credit

Substantially all of the Bank’s loans, commitments, and commercial and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Bank’s market area. Such customers are generally depositors of the Bank. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, all of the Bank’s municipal securities were issued by municipalities or localities outside of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 5. The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Commercial and standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers.

 

Note 16. Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Bank adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, creates a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the markets in which the assets are traded, and the transparency and reliability of the assumptions or other inputs used to determine the fair value of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1:    Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2:    Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques and appraisals for which significant assumptions can be derived from or corroborated by observable data in the market.
Level 3:    Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.

Under SFAS No. 157, we group assets at fair value based upon prices obtained from the markets in which the assets are typically traded and the reliability of assumptions used to determine fair value. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

Securities

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities generally include exchange traded equities and preferred stocks, and highly liquid U.S. Treasury securities. Level 2 securities generally include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset backed and other securities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow analysis. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities may be classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. At December 31, 2008, all of the Bank’s securities are considered to be within Level 1 or Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments

The fair value of derivative instruments was provided by valuation experts. At December 31, 2008, the total of the Bank’s interest rate collar was recorded at its fair value and accordingly the derivative was classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include the following:

Impaired Loans: Certain impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. During 2008, the Bank did not record any specific valuation allowances related to impaired loans.

The table below sets forth the balances of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2008:

 

     Total    Level 1    Level 2    Level 3

Note 16. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

 

SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are discussed above. The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest and the cash surrender value of life insurance policies. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair value.

Securities: Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, are based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of FHLB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB.

Loans receivable: 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 mortgage 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.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The fair values of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short-term borrowed funds: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and borrowings under repurchase agreements approximate their fair values.

Subordinated debt: The fair value of the subordinated debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Bank’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Off-balance-sheet credit-related instruments: Fair values for the Bank’s off-balance-sheet credit-related instruments statement (loan commitments) are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standings. The fair value for such commitments is nominal.

Note 17. Subsequent Event

On February 6, 2009, the Bank entered into a Letter Agreement with the United States Department of Treasury (Treasury), pursuant to which it issued 33,900 shares of the Bank’s Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (the Preferred Stock) and 1,695 shares of its Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C (the Warrant Preferred Stock) for a total price of $33,900,000. Both issuances have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. The issuance was made pursuant to the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program under the Troubled Asset Relief Program. The Preferred Stock pays a non-cumulative dividend at a rate of 5% per year during the first five years and thereafter at 9%. The Warrant Preferred Stock pays a non-cumulative dividend at a rate of 9% per year during its 10-year term. The transaction closed on February 6, 2009.

Note 1. Nature of Banking Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of operations: First Market Bank, F.S.B. (the Bank), a federally chartered stock savings bank, began operating November 4, 1997 and provides banking services to the Virginia market. Until March 31, 2006, the Bank was 49% owned by Ukrop’s Thrift Holdings, Inc., 49% owned by SunTrust Banks, Inc. (STI), and 2% owned by Ukrop’s Services, LC in a joint venture. On March 31, 2006, after obtaining approval from the Office of Thrift Supervision, a corporate reorganization of ownership of the Bank occurred. Under the terms of the reorganization, the Bank repurchased for approximately $82.7 million all of the common stock owned by STI. The repurchase was funded by raising $65.0 million in capital through the issuance and sale of shares of Class A Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, and $17.5 million in subordinated debt. For the period March 31, 2006 through December 31, 2007, the Bank was 49% owned by Ukrop’s Thrift Holdings, Inc., 40.1% owned by Markel Corporation, 4.45% owned each by James E. Ukrop and Robert S. Ukrop, and 2% owned by Ukrop’s Services, LC.

The Bank provides a wide array of financial services for consumers and businesses through its branches located in the Richmond metropolitan area, Fredericksburg, Roanoke and Williamsburg markets. In addition to these activities, the Bank generates noninterest income by sales of personal trust and asset management products and services, and other nondeposit investment services.

The Bank is subject to the regulations of certain federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.

Basis of presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of the Bank and its subsidiaries, FM Mortgage Holdings, LLC, First Market Advisors, Inc., First Market Title, Inc., and First Market Insurance Agency, Inc. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices within the banking industry. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

A summary of the Bank’s significant accounting policies follows:

Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly sensitive to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Cash, cash equivalents and cash flows: For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks as well as time deposits in other banks and include cash items in process of clearing, all of which mature within ninety days. Cash flows from loans, federal funds purchased and sold, short-term borrowed funds and deposits are reported net.

The Bank maintains amounts due from banks that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Bank has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Investment securities: Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and recorded at amortized cost. 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 (loss), net of the deferred tax effect.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale 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 Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses reflect the difference between fair market value and amortized cost of the individual securities as of the reporting date.

Loans: 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 adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time a loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual 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 non-accrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for loan losses: The Bank’s allowance for loan losses is the amount considered adequate to absorb probable losses within the loan portfolio based on management’s evaluation of the size and current risk characteristics of the portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as additional information becomes available or as economic conditions change.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that 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, collateral

Note 1. Nature of Banking Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

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 if the loan is collateral dependent.

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, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

Off-balance-sheet credit related financial instruments: In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Interest rate swap agreements: For asset/liability management purposes, the Bank uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge various exposures or to modify interest rate characteristics of various balance sheet accounts. Such derivatives are used as part of the asset/liability management process and are linked to specific assets or liabilities, and have high correlation between the contract and the underlying item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedge period.

The Bank utilizes interest rate swap agreements to convert a portion of its variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate (cash flow hedge), and to convert a portion of its fixed-rate loans to a variable-rate (fair value hedge). Interest rate swaps are contracts in which a series of interest rate flows are exchanged over a prescribed period. The notional amount on which the interest payments are based is not exchanged.

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, the gain or loss on a derivative designated and qualifying as a fair value hedging instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged, is recognized currently in earnings in the same accounting period. The effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative designated and qualifying as a cash flow hedging instrument is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, if any, is recognized currently in earnings.

Interest rate derivative financial instruments receive hedge accounting treatment only if they are designated as a hedge and are expected to be, and are, effective in substantially reducing interest rate risk arising from the assets and liabilities identified as exposing the Bank to risk. Those derivative financial instruments that do not meet the hedging criteria discussed below would be classified as trading activities and would be recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in income. Derivative hedge contracts must meet specific effectiveness tests (i.e., over time the change in their fair values due to the designated hedge risk must be within 80 to 125 percent of the

Note 1. Nature of Banking Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

opposite change in the fair values of the hedged assets or liabilities). Changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments must be effective at offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items due to the designated hedge risk during the term of the hedge. Further, if the underlying financial instrument differs from the hedged asset or liability, there must be a clear economic relationship between the prices of the two financial instruments. If periodic assessment indicates derivatives no longer provide an effective hedge, the derivatives contracts would be closed out and settled or classified as a trading activity.

Beginning January 1, 2001, in accordance with SFAS No. 133, hedges of variable-rate debt are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with changes in fair value recorded in derivative assets or liabilities and other comprehensive income (loss). The net settlement (upon close out or termination) that offsets changes in the value of the hedged debt is deferred and amortized into net interest income over the life of the hedged debt. Hedges of fixed-rate loans are accounted for as fair value hedges, with changes in fair value recorded in derivative assets or liabilities and loan interest income. The net settlement (upon close out or termination) that offsets changes in the value of the loans adjusts the basis of the loans and is deferred and amortized to loan interest income over the life of the loans. The portion, if any, of the net settlement amount that did not offset changes in the value of the hedged asset or liability is recognized immediately as non-interest income.

Cash flows resulting from the derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as hedges of assets and liabilities are classified in the cash flows statement in the same category as the cash flows of the items being hedged.

Bank premises and equipment: Land is carried at cost. Bank premises and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Valuation of long-lived assets: The Bank accounts for the valuation of long-lived assets under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the long-lived asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reportable at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.

Transfers of financial assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Bank, (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 Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

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

Trust assets and fees: Assets of the trust department, other than trust cash on deposit at the Bank, are not included in these consolidated financial statements because they are not assets of the Bank. Trust fees are recognized in income using the accrual method.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. If there are changes in net assets as a result of application of FIN 48, these will be accounted for as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Additional disclosures about the amounts of such liabilities will be required also. In February 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date of FIN 48 for certain nonpublic enterprises to annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Bank will be required to adopt FIN 48 in its 2008 annual financial statements. Management has not assessed the impact of FIN 48 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations and has not determined if the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

At its September 2006 meeting, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a final consensus on Issue 06-04, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. The consensus stipulates that an agreement by an employer to share a portion of the proceeds of a life insurance policy with an employee during the postretirement period is a postretirement benefit arrangement required to be accounted for under SFAS No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 12, Omnibus Opinion – 1967. The consensus concludes that the purchase of a split-dollar life insurance policy does not constitute a settlement under SFAS No. 106 and, therefore, a liability for the postretirement obligation must be recognized under SFAS No. 106 if the benefit is offered under an arrangement that constitutes a plan or under APB No. 12 if it is not part of a plan. Issue 06-04 is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2007. The adoption of EITF 06-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Bank’s financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

In June 2006, the EITF released Issue 06-05, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance-Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance. On September 7, 2006, the EITF concluded that a policyholder should consider any additional amounts included in the contractual terms of the policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. Amounts that are recoverable by the policyholder at the discretion of the insurance company should be excluded from the amount that could be realized. Amounts that are recoverable by the policyholder in periods beyond one year from the surrender of the policy should be discounted utilizing an appropriate rate of interest. The effective date of EITF 06-05 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of EITF 06-05 did not have a material impact on the Bank’s financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

In March 2007, the FASB issued Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-10, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (EITF 06-10). EITF 06-10 provides guidance on the recognition and measurement of assets related to collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangements. EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 06-10 effective January 1, 2008 to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2(FSP FAS 157-2) that delays, by one year, the effective date of SFAS 157 for the majority of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. The Company is still required to adopt SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008 for

Note 1. Nature of Banking Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

certain assets and liabilities of its Financial Services operations. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of SFAS 157 and FSP FAS 157-2 on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (including an amendment of SFAS No. 115). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured 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 at their respective fair values without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. An 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 choice by an entity to adopt early must be made within 120 days of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, provided the entity has not yet issued interim financial statements. The Bank elected not to early adopt SFAS No. 159.

 

Note 2. Restrictions on Cash and Due From Banks

The Bank may be required to maintain average cash balances on hand or with the Federal Reserve Bank. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, these reserve balances amounted to $0 and $2,695,000, respectively.

Note 3. Investment Securities (Continued)

 

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (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 Bank 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, 2007 and 2006, 22 and 41 individual securities, respectively, have unrealized losses with an aggregate depreciation of less than 2% and 4%, respectively, of the Bank’s amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses are all related to the change in market interest rates and not to the credit quality of the issuers. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available-for-sale, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

 

Note 4. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system, the Bank is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLB in an amount equal to .20% of its total assets as of December 31st of the prior year (up to a maximum of $25 million), plus 4.5% of its outstanding FHLB advances (of which up to 2% of the Bank’s required investment can be utilized from the excess capital stock ownership of other FHLB members). No ready market exists for the FHLB stock and it has no quoted market value; therefore, cost approximates market at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, 100 shares of Series A 9% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $100,000 per share, were outstanding (Series A Preferred).

Series A Preferred Stockholder’s Rights:

Dividends: The holders of Series A Preferred are entitled to receive, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, a non-cumulative quarterly cash dividend at the annual rate of $9,000 per share, or 9% of the stated value of $100,000 per share.

Liquidation: Upon any liquidation of the Bank, the holders of the Series A Preferred are entitled to receive, before any distribution of assets is made to the common stockholders, an amount equal to the sum of $100,000 per share plus the then-current quarterly dividend, whether or not declared, but without accumulation of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods.

Voting: The holders of Series A Preferred are entitled, voting as a separate class, to elect one director to the Board of Directors. The Bank may not, without an affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred stockholders, voting as a separate class, (i) create or increase the authorized number of shares of any class or series of stock having a preference senior to the shares of Series A Preferred, or (ii) change the preferences, qualifications, privileges, limitations, restrictions or special or relative rights granted to or imposed upon the shares of Series A Preferred.

Optional redemption: The Series A Preferred is not redeemable prior to March 31, 2011.

Conversion: In the event the Bank was to effect an initial public offering of any class of common stock, holders of Series A Preferred have the right to elect to convert all, or any portion, of their shares into shares of the class of common stock to be offered and sold based on the liquidation price of the shares to be converted and a conversion price equal to 94% of the actual sale price per share offered to the public in the initial public offering. Upon consummation of an initial public offering, any shares of Series A Preferred that remain outstanding will cease to be convertible.

 

Note 11. Related Party Transactions

The Bank has, in the ordinary course of business, entered into lending transactions with directors and executive officers of the Bank and their affiliates. Management believes these transactions were made on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present any other unfavorable features. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Bank had loans to directors and executive officers of approximately $5,275,000 and $4,963,000, respectively.

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of December 31, 2007, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2007, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) 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 Bank’s category.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 are presented in the following table:

 

     2007     2006  

Tier I capital

   $ 84,324,000      $ 76,305,000

Note 13. Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements (Continued)

 

Dividend restriction:

The approval of the Bank’s regulatory agencies is required to pay dividends that exceed the Bank’s net profits for the current year plus its retained net profits for the preceding two years. The Bank did not pay dividends in excess of these amounts during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

 

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Credit extension commitments:

The Bank is a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk 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 balance sheets.

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

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

 

     2007    2006

Commitments to grant loans

   $ 332,170,700    $ 354,663,927

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written

     17,892,153      21,213,879
             
   $ 350,062,853    $ 375,877,806
             

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 future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter-party.

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 uncollateralized 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.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional lending commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Essentially all letters of credit 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.

Litigation:

Various legal claims arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 15. Concentrations of Credit

Substantially all of the Bank’s loans, commitments, and commercial and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Bank’s market area. Such customers are generally depositors of the Bank. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, all of the Bank’s municipal securities were issued by municipalities or localities outside of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 5. The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Commercial and standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers.

 

Note 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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 Bank’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 No. 107, Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, 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 Bank.

The estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments at December 31, were as follows:

 

     2007    2006
     Carrying

Note 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

 

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

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair value.

Securities: Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, are based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of FHLB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB.

Loans receivable: 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 mortgage 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.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The fair values of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short-term borrowed funds: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and borrowings under repurchase agreements approximate their fair values.

Subordinated debt: The fair value of the subordinated debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Bank’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Off-balance-sheet credit-related instruments: Fair values for the Bank’s off-balance-sheet credit-related instruments statement (loan commitments) are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standings. The fair value for such commitments is nominal.
