UNION FIRST MARKET BANKSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2010

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Union First Market Bankshares Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and follow general practice within the banking industry. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. If needed, certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On February 1, 2010, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of First Market Bank, FSB (“First Market Bank”) in an all stock transaction. First Market Bank’s common shareholders received 6,273.259 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each share of First Market Bank’s common stock, resulting in the Company issuing 6,701,478 common shares. The Series A preferred shareholder of First Market Bank received 775,795 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all shares of the Series A preferred stock. In connection with the transaction the Company issued a total of 7,477,273 common shares with an acquisition date fair value of $96.1 million. The Series B and Series C preferred shareholder of First Market Bank received 35,595 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock in exchange for all shares of the Series B and Series C preferred stock.

The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Assets acquired totaled $1.4 billion, including $981.5 million in net loans and $218.7 million in investment securities. Liabilities assumed were $1.3 billion, including $1.2 billion of deposits. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $1.1 million of goodwill and $26.4 million of core deposit intangible. The core deposit intangible is being amortized over an average of 4.3 years using an accelerated method. In addition, the Company recorded $1.2 million related to a trademark intangible. This is being amortized over a three year time period. The recorded goodwill was allocated to the community banking segment of the Company and is non-deductible for tax purposes.

In many cases, determining the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities required the Company to estimate cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest. The most significant of these determinations related to the fair valuation of acquired loans. For such loans, the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at

acquisition reflects the impact of estimated credit losses and other factors, such as prepayments. In accordance with GAAP, there was no carryover of First Market Bank’s previously established allowance for loan losses. Subsequent decreases in the expected cash flows will require the Company to evaluate the need for additions to the Company’s allowance for credit losses. Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows will result in the recognition of additional interest income over the then remaining lives of the loans.

The following table presents the purchased performing loans receivable at the acquisition date. The remaining fair value adjustment for credit, interest rate and liquidity as of March 31, 2010 was $18.5 million. The amounts include principal only and do not reflect accrued interest as of the date of the acquisition or beyond (dollars in thousands):

Fair value of purchased performing loans receivable

   $ 960,772   
        

Interest income on acquired loans for the first quarter of 2010 was approximately $9.5 million. The outstanding principal balance and the carrying amount of these loans that is included in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2010 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

 

Outstanding principal balance

   $ 951,637

Carrying amount

   $ 933,171

Loans obtained in the acquisition of First Market Bank for which there is specific evidence of credit deterioration and for which it was probable that the Company would be unable to collect all contractually required principal and interest payments represent less than 0.54% of the Company’s consolidated assets and, accordingly, are not considered material.

The table below presents certain pro forma information as if First Market Bank had been acquired on January 1, 2009 for 2009 and January 1, 2010 for 2010. These results combine the historical results of First Market Bank into the Company’s consolidated statement of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair valuation adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on the indicated dates. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of First Market Bank’s provision for credit losses of $1.2 million in 2009 (note, no provision for loan losses was made during the month of January 2010 for First Market Bank) that would not have been necessary had the acquired loans been recorded at fair value as of the beginning of each year. The disclosure of First Market Bank’s post-acquisition revenue and net income were not practicable due to combining its operations with the Company’s largest affiliate shortly after the acquisition. Additionally, the Company expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts that follow (dollars in thousands):

Acquisition-related expenses associated with the acquisition of First Market Bank were $6.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 and are recorded in ‘Other operating expenses’ in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. Such costs also include legal and accounting fees, lease and contract termination expenses, system conversion, integrating operations, and employee severances, which have been expensed as incurred.

Total inception to date costs incurred through March 31, 2010 were $8.4 million. Total acquisition costs for the transaction were initially estimated to be $10.8 million and are not expected to exceed that level.

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted ASC 718, Stock Compensation. This statement requires the costs resulting from all share-based payments to employees be recognized in the financial statements.

The Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, and nonvested stock awards to key employees of the Company. The stock incentive plan makes available 525,000 shares which may be awarded to employees of the Company in the form of incentive stock options intended to comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“incentive stock options”), non-statutory stock options, and nonvested stock. Under the plan, the option price cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. The stock option’s maximum term is 10 years from the date of grant and generally vests in equal annual installments of 20 percent over a five-year vesting schedule. The Company issues new shares to satisfy share-based awards. As of March 31, 2010, approximately 260,365 shares were available for issuance under the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $78 thousand, net of tax, and less than $0.01 per common share for the three month period ended March 31, 2010.

The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (Note: no options were granted during the first quarter of 2010):

 

     Three Months Ended March 31,  
     2010    2009  

Dividend yield (1)

   —        2.45

Expected life in years (2)

   —        7.2   

Expected volatility (3)

   —        34.84

Risk-free interest rate (4)

   —        2.80

Weighted average fair value per option granted

   —      $ 3.89   

 

(1) Calculated as the ratio of historical dividends paid per share of common stock to the stock price on the date of grant.
(2) Based on the average of the contractual life and vesting schedule for the respective option.
(3) Based on the monthly historical volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected life of the options.
(4) Based upon the U.S. Treasury bill yield curve, for periods within the contractual life of the option, in effect at the time of grant.

The following table summarizes information concerning stock options issued to the Company’s employees that are vested or are expected to vest and stock options exercisable as of March 31, 2010 (dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

 

     Stock Options

Weighted average exercise price on shares above water

   $ 10.46    $ 10.24

Aggregate intrinsic value

   $ 170    $ 164

The total intrinsic value for stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $18 thousand. The fair value of stock options vested during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $103 thousand. Cash received from the exercise of stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $39 thousand.

Nonvested Stock

The 2003 plan permits the granting of nonvested stock, but such grants are limited to one-third of the aggregate number of total awards granted. This equity component of compensation is divided between restricted (time-based) stock grants and performance-based stock grants. The restricted stock vests on either of the following vesting schedules: 1) In four installments, 25% at the ends of each of the four years following the grant date, or 2) In two installments, 50% at the end of the third year following the grant date and 50% at the end of the fourth year following the grant date. The performance-based stock is subject to vesting on the fourth anniversary of the date of the grant based on the performance of the Company’s stock price. The value of the nonvested stock awards was calculated by multiplying the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date by the number of shares awarded. Employees have the right to vote the shares and to receive cash or stock dividends (restricted stock), if any, except for the nonvested stock under the performance-based component (performance stock).

In accordance with current GAAP, the allowance for loan losses of First Market Bank was not carried over to the Company at acquisition date.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS uses as the denominator the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of potentially dilutive common shares outstanding attributable to stock awards. Dividends on preferred stock and amortization of discount on preferred stock are treated as a reduction of the numerator in calculating basic and diluted EPS. There were approximately 178,354 and 177,382 shares underlying anti-dilutive stock awards as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Dividends paid on nonvested stock awards were approximately $3 thousand and $4 thousand as of March 31, 2010 and 2009.

6. TRUST PREFERRED CAPITAL NOTES

On March 30, 2006, the Company formed Union Bankshares Corporation Statutory Trust II, a wholly owned subsidiary, for the purpose of issuing redeemable capital securities in connection with the acquisition of Prosperity Bank & Trust Company (“Prosperity”) that was completed on April 1, 2006. A Trust Preferred Capital Note of $36.0 million was issued through a pooled underwriting. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate (three month LIBOR plus 1.40%) which adjusts and is payable quarterly. The interest rate for the period ended March 31, 2010 was 1.69%. The redeemable capital securities may be called at par after five years on March 31, 2011 and each quarterly anniversary of such date until the securities mature in 30 years on March 31, 2036. The principal asset of the Statutory Trust II is $37.1 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with like maturities and like interest rates to the capital notes, of which $1.1 million is reflected as the Company’s investment in Statutory Trust II reported as “Other assets” within the financial statements.

During the first quarter of 2004, Union Bankshares Corporation Statutory Trust I, a wholly owned subsidiary, was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable capital securities in connection with the acquisition of Guaranty Financial Corporation (“Guaranty”). A Trust Preferred Capital Note of $22.5 million was issued through a pooled underwriting. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate (three month LIBOR plus 2.75%) which adjusts and is payable quarterly. The interest rate for the period ended March 31, 2010 was 3.04%. The redeemable capital securities have been redeemable at par since June 17, 2009 and each quarterly anniversary of such date until the securities mature on June 17, 2034. The principal asset of the Statutory Trust I is $23.2 million of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with like maturities and like interest rates to the capital notes, of which $696 thousand is reflected as the Company’s investment in Statutory Trust I reported as “Other assets” within the financial statements.

7. SEGMENT REPORTING DISCLOSURES

The Company has two reportable segments: traditional full service community banks and a mortgage loan origination business. The community bank business includes three banks, which provide loan, deposit, investment, and other banking services to consumer and commercial customers through 92 branch offices located in Virginia. The Company’s largest affiliate, Union First Market Bank also offers trust services. The mortgage segment provides a variety of mortgage loan products principally in Virginia and Maryland. These loans are originated and sold primarily in the secondary market through purchase commitments from investors, which subject the Company to only de minimis risk.

Profit and loss is measured by net income after taxes including realized gains and losses on the Company’s investment portfolio. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Inter-segment transactions are recorded at cost and eliminated as part of the consolidation process.

Both of the Company’s reportable segments are service based. The mortgage business is a fee-based business while the banks are driven principally by net interest income. The banks provide a distribution and referral network through their customers for the mortgage loan origination business. The mortgage segment offers a more limited referral network for the banks, due largely to the minimal degree of overlapping geographic markets.

The community bank segment provides the mortgage segment with the short-term funds needed to originate mortgage loans through a warehouse line of credit and charges the mortgage banking segment interest at the three month LIBOR rate plus 25 basis points. These transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. A management fee for operations and administrative support services is charged to all subsidiaries and eliminated in the consolidated totals.

Information about reportable segments and reconciliation of such information to the consolidated financial statements for three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

8. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance relating to the accounting for transfers of financial assets. The new guidance, which was issued as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140, was adopted into Codification in December 2009 through the issuance of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-16. The new standard provides guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that an entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to the variable interest entities. The new guidance, which was issued as SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS No. 167”), was adopted into Codification in December 2009. The objective of the guidance is to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. SFAS No. 167 is effective as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-04, Accounting for Various Topics – Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs (“ASU 2010-04”). This update makes technical corrections to existing Securities and Exchange Commission guidance including the following topics: accounting for subsequent investments, termination of an interest rate swap, issuance of financial statements - subsequent events, use of residential method to value acquired assets other than goodwill, adjustments in assets and liabilities for holding gains and losses, and selections of discount rate used for measuring defined benefit obligation. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, requires new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-08, Technical Corrections to Various Topics (“ASU 2010-08’). ASU 2010-08 clarifies guidance on embedded derivatives and hedging. ASU 2010-08 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

9. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company adopted ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which prescribes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. The provisions of this statement discontinued the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives but require an impairment review at least annually and more frequently if certain impairment indicators are evident. Based on the annual testing during the second quarter of each year and the absence of impairment indicators during the current quarter the Company has recorded no impairment charges to date.

Core deposit intangible assets are being amortized over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from 4 to 15 years. In connection with the First Market Bank acquisition, accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, the Company recorded $26.4 million of core deposit intangible, $1.2 million of trademark intangible and $1.1 million in goodwill. None of the goodwill recognized will be deductible for income tax purposes. Changes in goodwill in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet from March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were attributable to the acquisition of First Market Bank. The core deposit intangible on that acquisition is being amortized over an average of 4.3 years using an accelerated method and the trademark intangible is being amortized over 3 years using the straight-line method.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as there are no violations of any conditions established in the contracts. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payments of fees. Because many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. At March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had outstanding loan commitments approximating $744.9 million and $470.8 million, respectively.

Letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of customers to third parties. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The amount of standby letters of credit whose contract amounts represent credit risk totaled approximately $33.8 million and $36.1 million at March 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

At March 31, 2010, Union Mortgage Group, Inc. (“Union Mortgage”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Union First Market Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Union First Market Bankshares Corporation, had rate lock commitments to originate mortgage loans amounting to $132.3 million and loans held for sale of $50.6 million. Union Mortgage has entered into corresponding commitments on a best-efforts basis to sell loans on a servicing released basis totaling approximately $182.9 million. These commitments to sell loans are designed to mitigate the mortgage company’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in connection with rate lock commitments and loans held for sale.

As of March 31 2010, there were $40.7 million of individual securities that had been in a continuous loss position for more than 12 months. Additionally, these securities had an unrealized loss of $2.5 million and consisted primarily of municipal obligations. In the second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (“OTTI”) guidance, as amended, for debt securities regarding recognition and disclosure. The major change in the guidance was that an impairment is other-than-temporary if any of the following conditions exists: the entity intends to sell the security; it is more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or, the entity does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to sell). If a credit loss exists, but an entity does not intend to sell the impaired debt security and is not more likely than not to be required to sell before recovery, the impairment is other-than-temporary and should be separated into a credit portion to be recognized in earnings and the remaining amount relating to all other factors recognized as other comprehensive loss.

During each quarter the Company conducts an assessment of the securities portfolio for OTTI consideration. The assessment considers factors such as external credit ratings, delinquency coverage ratios, market price, management’s judgment, expectations of future performance and relevant industry research and analysis. Based on the assessment for the current quarter ended March 31, 2010 and in accordance with the revised guidance, no OTTI was recognized.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), on January 1, 2008 to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. This statement clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants.

ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 based on these two types of inputs are 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 in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the markets.

 

   Level 3 -   Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market. These unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about what market participants would use and information that is reasonably available under the circumstances without undue cost and effort.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.

Securities available for sale

Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2). If the inputs used to provide the evaluation for certain securities are unobservable and/or there is little, if any, market activity then the security would fall to the lowest level of the hierarchy (Level 3). The carrying value of restricted Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of each entity and is therefore excluded from the following table.

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements.

Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. These loans currently consist of residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, the Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within income from the mortgage segment on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Impaired Loans

Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the Company’s collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the property is more than two years old, then a Level 3 valuation is considered to measure the fair value. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances

or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the allowance for loan losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. At March 31, 2010 the Company’s Level 3 loans consisted of three relationships secured by commercial real estate of $1.8 million with a $414 thousand valuation reserve; three relationships secured by residential real estate and lots of $3.4 million with a valuation reserve of $909 thousand; four relationships secured by inventory, receivables or equipment of $1.1 million with a $441 thousand valuation reserve; one relationship secured by investment real estate of $1.8 million with a $317 thousand valuation reserve; and one relationship unsecured of $115 thousand with a $6 thousand valuation reserve.

The Company’s nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate to other real estate owned (“OREO”), goodwill and intangible assets. In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, OREO with a carrying value above fair value is written down to its fair value and results in an impairment charge. Total valuation expenses related to OREO for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were zero and $14 thousand, respectively. No impairment charges have been recorded for goodwill or intangible assets.

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. This statement requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments for interim periods and excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans

The fair value of performing loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Fair value for significant nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals. If appraisals are not available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows.

Deposits

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

Borrowings

The carrying value of short-term borrowings is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated based on interest rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. At March 31, 2010, the carrying value and fair value of loan commitments and standby letters of credit was immaterial.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2010 are in the following table (dollars in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Union First Market Bankshares Corporation

Richmond, Virginia

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Union First Market Bankshares Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis is presented to aid the reader in understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of Union First Market Bankshares Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”). This discussion and analysis should be read with the consolidated financial statements, the notes to the financial statements thereto, and the other financial data included in this report, as well as the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2009. Highlighted in the discussion are material changes from prior reporting periods and any identifiable trends affecting the Company. Results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be attained for any other period. Amounts are rounded for presentation purposes while some of the percentages presented are computed based on unrounded amounts.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this report may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, predictions, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements are often characterized by the use of qualified words (and their derivatives) such as “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “anticipate” or other statements concerning opinions or judgment of the Company and its management about future events. Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its existing 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. Actual future results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the effects of and changes in: general economic conditions, the interest rate environment, legislative and regulatory requirements, competitive pressures, new products and delivery systems, inflation, changes in the stock and bond markets, technology, and consumer spending and savings habits. The Company does not update any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Company’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities, and amounts reported for revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the Company’s consolidated financial position and/or results of operations.

The more critical accounting and reporting policies include the Company’s accounting for the allowance for loan losses, mergers and acquisitions and goodwill and intangible assets. The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding the Company’s consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, the Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162, during the third quarter 2009.

Table of Contents

The following is a summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies that are highly dependent on estimates, assumptions and judgments.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) ASC 450 Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when occurrence is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and (ii) ASC 310 Receivables, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses is the accumulation of various components that are calculated based on independent methodologies. All components of the allowance represent an estimation performed pursuant to applicable GAAP. Management’s estimate of each homogenous pool component is based on certain observable data that management believes are most reflective of the underlying credit losses being estimated. This evaluation includes credit quality trends; collateral values; loan volumes; geographic, borrower and industry concentrations; seasoning of the loan portfolio; the findings of internal credit quality assessments and results from external bank regulatory examinations. These factors, as well as historical losses and current economic and business conditions, are used in developing estimated loss factors used in the calculations.

Applicable GAAP requires that the impairment of loans that have been separately identified for evaluation are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows or, alternatively, the observable market price of the loans or the fair value of the collateral. However, for those loans that are collateral dependent (that is, if repayment of those loans is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral) and for which management has determined foreclosure is probable, the measure of impairment is to be based on the net realizable value of the collateral. This statement also requires certain disclosures about investments in impaired loans and the allowance for loan losses and interest income recognized on impaired loans.

Reserves for commercial loans are determined by applying estimated loss factors to the portfolio based on historical loss experience and management’s evaluation and “risk grading” of the commercial loan portfolio. Reserves are provided for noncommercial loan categories using historical loss factors applied to the total outstanding loan balance of each loan category. Additionally, environmental factors based on national and local economic conditions, as well as portfolio-specific attributes, are considered in estimating the allowance for loan losses.

While management uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if future economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the valuations or, if required by regulators, based upon information available to them at the time of their examinations. Such adjustments to original estimates, as necessary, are made in the period in which these factors and other relevant considerations indicate that loss levels may vary from previous estimates.

Mergers and Acquisitions

On February 1, 2010, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of First Market Bank, FSB (“First Market Bank”) in an all stock transaction. First Market Bank’s common shareholders received 6,273.259 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each share of First Market Bank’s common stock, resulting in the Company issuing 6,701,478 common shares. The Series A preferred shareholder of First Market Bank received 775,795 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all shares of the Series A preferred stock. In connection with the transaction the Company issued a total of 7,477,273 common shares with an acquisition date fair value of $96.1 million. The Series B and Series C preferred shareholder of First Market Bank received 35,595 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock in exchange for all shares of the Series B and Series C preferred stock.

Table of Contents

The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Assets acquired totaled $1.4 billion, including $981.5 million in net loans and $218.7 million in investment securities. Liabilities assumed were $1.3 billion, including $1.2 billion of deposits. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $1.1 million of goodwill and $26.4 million of core deposit intangible. The core deposit intangible is being amortized over an average of 4.3 years using an accelerated method. In addition, the Company recorded $1.2 million related to a trademark intangible. This is being amortized over a three year time period.

In many cases, determining the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities required the Company to estimate cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest. The most significant of these determinations related to the fair valuation of acquired loans. For such loans, the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition reflects the impact of estimated credit losses and other factors, such as prepayments. In accordance with GAAP, there was no carryover of First Market Bank’s previously established allowance for loan losses. Subsequent decreases in the expected cash flows will require the Company to evaluate the need for additions to the Company’s allowance for credit losses. Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows will result in the recognition of additional interest income over the then remaining lives of the loans.

The estimated fair value of liabilities assumed was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows and compared to other securities with similar characteristics and remaining maturities. Specifically, First Market Bank’s Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) advances, subordinated debt and certificates of deposit were assumed at a net premium. This premium will have a favorable impact on the Company’s net interest expense over the next 7 quarters as the premium reduces interest expense based on an accelerated method.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

The Company reported net income of $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, down slightly from the same quarter a year ago. The slight decline in net income of $54 thousand is principally a result of $6.9 million in nonrecurring costs associated with the acquisition of First Market Bank, partially offset by the earnings contribution from First Market Bank, strong net interest income and increases in mortgage segment revenue. Net income available to common shareholders, which deducts from net income the dividends and discount accretion on preferred stock, was $1.3 million for the current quarter compared to $892 thousand for the same quarter last year. This represented a decrease in earnings per share, on a diluted basis, of $0.01, to $0.06 from $0.07.

The reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, represented a decline of $1.2 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The decline was largely a result of increases in acquisition costs of $6.4 million, partially offset by increases in net interest income and lower credit costs.

As a supplement to GAAP, the Company also reports certain alternate financial metrics relative to its operating performance. Diluted earnings per share on a cash basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $0.12 as compared to $0.15 for the same quarter a year ago and $0.17 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. Additionally, cash basis return on average tangible common equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was 3.82% as compared to 5.42% in the prior year’s same quarter and 5.71% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

NET INTEREST INCOME

During the first quarter of 2010, the Federal Open Market Committee maintained the target range for the Federal funds rate at 0% to 0.25% and continued its posture to hold the Federal funds rate exceptionally low for an extended period.

On a linked quarter basis, tax-equivalent net interest income increased $11.6 million, or 49.2%, to $35.1 million due principally to increased interest-earning asset volumes related to the acquisition of First Market Bank, the accretion of fair value adjustments from acquisition accounting and declines in costs of interest-bearing liabilities. The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 62 basis points to 4.59% from 3.97% in the prior quarter. The net interest margin increase was principally attributable to the accretion of fair value market adjustments of acquired loans and deposits and decreases in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-earning assets and related interest income increased $754.9 million and $10.5 million, respectively. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $683.1 million with related interest expense declining $1.0 million. Costs of interest-bearing liabilities declined 66 basis points to 1.42% while yields on interest-earning assets increased 9 basis points to 5.78%. Improvements in the cost of funds were principally a result of accretion of fair value adjustments from acquisition accounting, declining costs on certificates of deposit (higher rate certificates of deposit matured and repriced at lower rates) and lower costs related to FHLB borrowings.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased $16.5 million, or 88.4%, to $35.1 million compared to the same period last year. This increase was principally attributable to increased interest-earning asset volumes related to the acquisition of First Market Bank as well as declines in costs of interest-bearing liabilities and lower deposit costs and lower wholesale funding volumes. The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 137 basis points to 4.59% from 3.22% in the prior year. Average interest-earning assets and related interest income increased $761.4 million and $12.0 million, respectively. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $621.8 million with related interest expense declining $4.5 million. Costs of interest-bearing liabilities declined 135 basis points to 1.42% while yields on interest-earning assets increased 19 basis points to 5.78%. Improvements in the cost of funds were principally a result of fair value adjustments from acquisition accounting, declining costs on certificates of deposit (higher rate certificates of deposit matured and repriced at lower rates) and lower costs related to FHLB borrowings.

Table of Contents

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the impact of acquisition accounting fair value accretion was $2.7 million. If not for this impact, the net interest margin would have been 4.23% and represented an increase of 26 basis points from December 31, 2009 and a 101 basis point increase from the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company’s ability to maintain the margin at current levels is largely dependent upon future interest rates, loan demand and deposit competition.

Total net loans and investment securities acquired in the First Market Bank transaction were recorded at their estimated fair values of $981.5 million and $218.7 million, respectively. Total noninterest and interest-bearing liabilities assumed were $171.1 million and $1.0 billion, respectively. Borrowings assumed were $75.8 million, of which $61.4 million and $14.4 million consisted of FHLB advances and subordinated debt, respectively. Following the acquisition of First Market Bank the Company reduced wholesale funding by approximately $159.0 million through the sale of $103.0 million in acquired investment securities and excess cash balances.

The acquired loan and investment security portfolios of First Market Bank were marked-to-market with a fair value discount to market rates. The performing loan and investment security accretion of the discount was $1.4 million and $92 thousand, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The accretion is recognized into interest income over the estimated remaining life of the loans and investment securities under an accelerated method. The Company also assumed FHLB borrowings, subordinated debt and certificates of deposit. The estimated fair value of these liabilities was also marked-to-market on acquisition date. FHLB borrowings were purchased at a premium to market rates and $408 thousand was recorded as a reduction in interest expense since the acquisition. Subordinated debt was purchased at a discount to market rates and $82 thousand recorded as an increase to interest expense since the acquisition. Certificates of deposit were purchased at a premium to market rates and $901 thousand recorded as a reduction in interest expense since the acquisition. The related discount (or premium) to market is recorded as an increase (or decrease) to interest expense over the estimated lives of the liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $5.0 million, a decline of $743 thousand from the most recent quarter and an increase of $1.9 million from the same quarter a year ago. The current levels of the allowance for loan losses reflect specific reserves related to nonperforming loans, changes in risk ratings on loans, net charge-off activity, loan growth, delinquency trends and other credit risk factors that the Company considers in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. As noted above, in acquisition accounting there was no carryover of First Market Bank’s previously established allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the total loan portfolio, including net loans at fair value from the First Market Bank acquisition, was 1.19% at March 31, 2010, 1.63% at December 31, 2009 and 1.48% at March 31, 2009. The reduction in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans is related to the elimination of First Market Bank’s allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the total loan portfolio, excluding acquired loans, was 1.82% at March 31, 2010.

Noninterest Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, noninterest income increased $2.4 million, or 32.8%, to $9.7 million from $7.3 million in the same period in 2009 and included the contribution of First Market Bank. Gains on sales of loans in the mortgage segment increased $1.0 million and related to strong loan margins, particularly from originations in new mortgage offices. Other service charges and fees increased $866 thousand, primarily related to higher debit card income, higher brokerage commissions, ATM and letter of credit fees. Account service charges increased $175 thousand, related to higher overdraft and returned check charges, and fees on commercial and savings accounts. Other income increases related to trust revenue of $220 thousand. Gains on sales of other real estate owned increased $58 thousand and gains on sales of investment securities increased $18 thousand. Excluding the contribution of the mortgage segment, noninterest income increased $1.4 million, or 35.3%.

On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income increased $1.3 million, or 15.3%, to $9.7 million from $8.4 million at December 31, 2009 and included the contribution of First Market Bank. Other service charges and fees increased $704 thousand, primarily related to higher debit card income of $512 thousand, higher ATM charges of $92 thousand and higher letter of credit fees of $58 thousand. Gains on sales of loans in the mortgage segment increased $233 thousand. Other income increases related to trust revenue of $214 thousand. Account service charges increased $135 thousand, primarily related to higher overdraft and returned check charges and commercial account fees. Gains on sales of other real estate owned increased $52 thousand. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $114 thousand related to losses on sales of investment securities. Excluding the contribution of the mortgage segment, noninterest income increased $1.1 million, or 25.7%.

Noninterest Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, noninterest expense increased $16.9 million, or 84.7%, to $36.8 million from $19.9 million in the first quarter of 2009 and included the contribution of First Market Bank. Other operating expenses increased $11.1 million. Included in other operating expenses were costs associated with the acquisition of First Market Bank of $6.9 million and $278 thousand during the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Other costs contributing to the increase were higher core deposit amortization related to acquired deposits of $973 thousand, higher marketing and advertising expenses of $959 thousand primarily related to brand awareness campaigns and higher FDIC assessments of $603 thousand. In addition, expenses to maintain the Company’s portfolio of other real estate owned increased $457 thousand and legal and professional fees increased $258 thousand related to continuing problem loan workouts.

Salaries and benefits also increased $4.7 million and primarily related to the addition of First Market Bank employees and related salaries and benefit costs of $3.3 million, higher profit sharing expense of $627 thousand, higher mortgage segment commissions of $506 thousand and higher awards and incentives of $152 thousand. Occupancy expenses increased $838 thousand and primarily related to additional rental expense and operations of acquired branches. Furniture and equipment expense increased $193 thousand

due to higher depreciation and amortization expense related to acquired fixed assets and additional expense for equipment service contracts. Excluding mortgage segment operations and acquisition related expenses in 2010 and 2009, noninterest expense increased approximately $9.4 million, or 56.2%.

On a linked quarter basis, noninterest expense increased $14.9 million, or 68.0%, to $36.8 million from $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and included the contribution of First Market Bank. Other operating expense increased $9.2 million. Of this increase, costs related to the acquisition of First Market Bank increased $6.3 million to $6.9 million in the first quarter compared to $554 thousand in the prior quarter. Other operating expenses also included higher core deposit amortization related to acquired deposits of $973 thousand and higher marketing and advertising fees of $815 thousand primarily related to brand awareness campaigns. Additionally, other increases related to higher data processing fees of $609 thousand, higher communication and printing costs of $372 thousand and higher Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance expense of $358 thousand. These increases in expense were partially offset by lower professional service fees of $461 thousand, which related to a fourth quarter 2009 accelerated contract payment and lower legal fees in the current quarter.

Salaries and benefits also increased $4.5 million, primarily related to the acquisition and related salaries and benefit costs of $3.6 million, higher profit sharing expense of $530 thousand, and higher incentive compensation costs of $381 thousand. Occupancy costs increased $896 thousand, primarily related to additional rental expense and operations of acquired branches. Furniture and equipment expenses increased $280 thousand due to higher depreciation and amortization expense related to acquired fixed assets and additional expense for equipment service contracts. Excluding mortgage segment operations and acquisition related expenses in 2010 and 2009 as well as the accelerated contract payment in the fourth quarter of 2009, noninterest expense increased approximately $9.0 million, or 53.0%, on a linked quarter basis, principally related to the addition of First Market Bank.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company continued to incur costs related to the acquisition of First Market Bank. Such costs include legal and accounting fees, lease and contract termination expenses, system conversion, integrating operations, and employee severances, which have been expensed as incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, costs associated with the acquisition of First Market Bank were $6.9 million and are reported as a component of “Other operating expenses” within the Company’s “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.” Total inception to date costs incurred as of March 31, 2010 were $8.4 million. Total acquisition costs were initially estimated to be approximately $10.8 million and are not expected to exceed that level.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based upon the results of operations, adjusted for the effect of certain tax-exempt income and non-deductible expenses. In addition, certain items of income and expense are reported in different periods for financial reporting and tax return purposes. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recognized currently in the deferred income tax provision or benefit. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the applicable enacted marginal tax rate.

The Company must also evaluate the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. If any such assets are not likely to be recovered, a valuation allowance must be recognized. The Company has determined that a valuation allowance is not required for deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2010. The assessment of the carrying value of deferred tax assets is based on certain assumptions, changes in which could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 19.0% compared to 11.9% for the same period in 2009. The increase in the effective tax rate was principally related to certain nondeductible acquisition costs incurred during the current period and higher levels of taxable income relative to nontaxable income.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Community Banking Segment

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, net interest income for the community bank segment increased $16.4 million, or 93.9%, from $17.4 million to $33.8 million compared to the same period last year. This increase was principally attributable to increased interest-earning asset volumes related to the acquisition of First Market Bank as well as declines in costs of interest-bearing liabilities and lower deposit costs. The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 137 basis points to 4.59% from 3.22% in the prior year.

Noninterest income increased $1.4 million, or 35.3%, to $5.4 million from $4.0 million in the same period in 2009 and included the contribution of First Market Bank. Of this increase, other service charges and fees increased $866 thousand, primarily related to higher debit card income, higher brokerage commissions, ATM and letter of credit fees. Account service charges increased $175 thousand, related to higher overdraft and returned check charges, and fees on commercial and savings accounts. Other income increases related to trust revenue of $220 thousand. Gains on sales of other real estate owned increased $58 thousand and gains on sales of investment securities increased $18 thousand.

Noninterest expense increased $16.0 million, or 94.0%, to $33.0 million from $17.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2009 and included the contribution of First Market Bank. Other operating expenses increased $11.0 million. Included in other operating expenses were costs associated with the acquisition of First Market Bank of $6.9 million and $278 thousand during the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Other costs contributing to the increase were higher core deposit amortization related to acquired deposits of $973 thousand, higher marketing and advertising expenses of $956 thousand primarily related to brand awareness campaigns and higher FDIC assessments of $603 thousand. In addition, expenses to maintain the Company’s portfolio of other real estate owned increased $431 thousand and legal and professional fees increased $235 thousand related to continuing problem loan workouts. Salaries and benefits also increased $4.0 million and primarily related to the addition of First Market Bank employees. Occupancy expenses increased $829 thousand and primarily related to additional rental expense and operations of acquired branches. Furniture and equipment expense increased $167 thousand due to higher depreciation and amortization expense related to acquired fixed assets and additional expense for equipment service contracts.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased $11.6 million, or 52.4%, to $33.7 million compared to the most recent quarter. This increase was due principally to increased interest-earning asset volumes related to the acquisition of First Market Bank, the accretion of fair value adjustments from acquisition accounting and declines in costs of interest-bearing liabilities. The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 62 basis points to 4.59% from 3.97% in the prior quarter. The net interest margin increase was principally attributable to the accretion of fair value market adjustments of acquired loans and deposits and decreases in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Noninterest income increased $1.0 million, or 25.7%, to $5.4 million from $4.3 million at December 31, 2009 and included the contribution of First Market Bank since acquisition date. Other service charges and fees increased $704 thousand, primarily related to higher debit card income of $512 thousand, higher ATM charges of $92 thousand and higher letter of credit fees of $58 thousand. Other income increased related to trust revenue of $214 thousand. Account service charges increased $135 thousand, primarily related to higher overdraft and returned check charges and commercial account fees. Gains on sales of other real estate owned increased $52 thousand. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $114 thousand related to lower gains on sales of investment securities.

Noninterest expense increased $14.9 million, or 82.8%, to $33.0 million from $18.1 million compared to the most recent quarter and included the contribution of First Market Bank. Other operating expense increased $9.2 million. Of this increase, costs related to the acquisition of First Market Bank increased $6.3 million to $6.9 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $554 thousand in the most recent quarter. Other operating expenses also included higher core deposit amortization related to acquired deposits of $973

thousand and higher marketing and advertising fees of $831 thousand primarily related to brand awareness campaigns. Additionally, other increases related to higher data processing fees of $609 thousand, higher communication and printing costs of $365 thousand and higher FDIC insurance expense of $358 thousand. These increases in expense were partially offset by lower professional service fees of $404 thousand, which related to a fourth quarter 2009 accelerated contract payment and lower legal fees in the current quarter. Salaries and benefits also increased $4.6 million, primarily related to the acquisition of First Market Bank. Occupancy costs increased $874 thousand, primarily related to additional rental expense and operations of acquired branches. Furniture and equipment expenses increased $277 thousand due to higher depreciation and amortization expense related to acquired fixed assets and additional expense for equipment service contracts.

Mortgage Segment

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the mortgage segment net income increased $93 thousand, to $579 thousand, from $486 thousand for the same quarter in 2009. Originations decreased $7.4 million from $155.6 million to $148.2 million, or 4.7%, from the same period last year, yet gains on the sale of loans increased $1.0 million, or 30.26%. Gains on the sale of loans were driven by the addition of new branches originating loans at favorable margins, adjustments to loan fee and pricing policies and volume related revenue incentives. Noninterest expenses increased $912 thousand. Salaries and benefits increased $742 thousand primarily related to commission expenses on higher loan revenue and salaries and benefit expenses related to additional branch office personnel. Other operating expenses increased $134 thousand principally due to increased underwriting fees related to loan origination volume and higher operating expenses including communications and office supplies for additional branch offices. Occupancy expenses increased $9 thousand principally due to rental expenses of new branch locations. Furniture and equipment expense increased $27 thousand, which included costs related to higher depreciation and equipment maintenance contracts.

On a linked quarter basis, the mortgage segment net income for the first quarter increased $87 thousand, or 17.53%, to $579 thousand from $492 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2009. Originations decreased $36.9 million from $185.1 million to $148.2 million, or 19.9%, from the most recent quarter. Despite the decline in originations, gains on the sales of loans increased $233 thousand, or 5.46%. Gains on the sale of loans were driven by the addition of new branches originating loans at favorable margins, adjustments to loan fee and pricing policies and volume related revenue incentives. Loan originations decreased due to sluggish real estate activity and as a result of abnormally adverse weather conditions in core segment market areas. Salary and benefit expenses decreased $53 thousand primarily related to lower commission and equity-based compensation expenses, partially offset by higher salaries and other personnel expenses. Occupancy expenses increased $23 thousand and furniture and equipment expenses increased $4 thousand. Other operating expenses increased $11 thousand.

BALANCE SHEET

At March 31, 2010, total assets were $3.85 billion, increasing from $2.59 billion and $2.60 billion at December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively, driven principally by the acquisition of First Market Bank on February 1, 2010. Net loans increased $976.7 million, or 53.1%, from March 31, 2009. On a linked quarter basis, net loans increased $972.4 million from December 31, 2009. Both of these period increases were principally the result of the acquired loan portfolio of First Market Bank, which totaled $981.5 million. The Company’s mortgage segment increased loans held for sale by $16.6 million from March 31, 2009, but decreased $3.6 million from December 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2010, total cash and cash equivalents were $130.5 million, a decrease of $33.5 million from $164.0 million at March 31, 2009. Total cash and equivalents at March 31, 2009, included additional liquidity from an FHLB advance plus a portion of the funds related to proceeds from the issuance of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, under the U. S. Treasury Capital Purchase Program (which was redeemed in late 2009). Additionally, during the first quarter of 2010, cash and investment securities were utilized to reduce reliance on wholesale funding by approximately $159 million. Total cash and equivalents increased, net of the previously mentioned debt reduction, $84.6 million from December 31, 2009. Total deposits increased $1.1 billion, or 54.1%, from a year ago, principally related to the acquired deposits of First Market Bank, which totaled $1.2 billion.

Total borrowings, including repurchase agreements, increased $18.6 million to $334.1 million at March 31, 2010 from the same period a year ago. The Company’s equity to assets ratio was 10.77% and 10.57% at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company’s tangible common equity to assets ratio was 7.70% and 6.04% at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Management remains focused on maintaining strong levels of liquidity and capital during this challenging environment and believes its sound risk management practices in underwriting and lending will enable the Company to weather successfully this period of economic uncertainty.

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. Management monitors liquidity levels on a daily basis. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, money market investments, Federal funds sold, securities available for sale, loans held for sale and loans maturing or repricing within one year. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include its capacity to borrow additional funds when necessary through Federal funds lines with several correspondent banks, a line of credit with the FHLB and a corporate line of credit with a large correspondent bank. Management considers the Company’s overall liquidity to be sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and to meet its customers’ credit needs.

As of March 31, 2010, cash, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, money market investments, Federal funds sold, securities available for sale, loans available for sale and loans that mature within one year totaled $1.5 billion, or 43.8%, of total earning assets. As of March 31, 2010, approximately $1.3 billion, or 46.1%, of total loans are scheduled to mature within one year. In addition to deposits, the Company utilizes Federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and customer repurchase agreements, to fund the growth in its loan portfolio, securities purchases, and periodically, wholesale leverage transactions.

As reflected in the loan table, at March 31, 2010, the largest component of the Company’s loan portfolio consisted of real estate loans, concentrated in commercial, construction and residential 1-4 family. The risks attributable to these concentrations are mitigated by the Company’s credit underwriting and monitoring processes, including oversight by a centralized credit administration function and credit policy and risk management committee, as well as seasoned bankers’ focusing their lending to borrowers with proven track records in markets with which the Company is familiar.

Approximately $951.4 million, or 33.4%, of the Company’s loan portfolio is comprised of amortizing commercial real estate loans, of which approximately 44.0% is owner-occupied real estate and which typically carries a lower risk of loss. While there continue to be industry concerns over possible softening in the commercial real estate sector, the Company’s portfolio is not highly speculative or concentrated in large credits. In addition, $500.9 million of the loan portfolio is concentrated in real estate construction loans, including raw land, land development, residential lots, speculative and presold residential construction and commercial construction loans (both owner-occupied and non-owner occupied). Of this amount, $232.6 million, or 46.4%, represents land and lot loans; $119.7 million, or 23.9%, represents land development loans; $79.6 million, or 15.9%, represents speculative and presold residential construction loans and $69.0 million, or 13.8%, is commercial construction. The Company’s real estate lending is conducted within its operating footprint in markets it understands and monitors.

Asset Quality

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company continued to experience some deterioration in asset quality. While economic indicators suggest the recession has technically ended, there could be additional softening in asset quality in the near-term, with the magnitude depending upon the lagging impact on commercial real estate, residential acquisition and development loans, unemployment and the pace at which the local economy recovers. The risk and performance of the Company’s loan portfolio are reflective of the relatively stable markets in which it operates. The Company sees indications that the housing markets in Virginia are improving; however, the commercial real estate, residential acquisition and development markets may weaken further as pressure from the impact of the unemployment rate negatively affect both consumer spending and occupancy needs by employers. The Company’s loan portfolio has a significant concentration in real estate loans. Residential acquisition and development lending and builder/construction lending have been scaled back as housing activity across the Company’s markets declined. While this softening negatively impacts delinquency and nonperforming asset levels, the collateralized nature of real estate loans serves to better protect the Company from loss.

Asset quality remains a primary concern of the Company. Necessary resources continue to be devoted to the ongoing review of the loan portfolio and the workouts of problem assets to minimize any losses to the Company. Management will continue to monitor delinquencies, risk rating changes, charge-offs, market trends and other indicators of risk in the Company’s portfolio, particularly those tied to residential and commercial real estate, and adjust the allowance for loan losses accordingly.

The Company acquired the loan portfolio of First Market Bank at a fair value discount of $30.0 million (discount represents expected credit losses, comparison to market rates and liquidity adjustments). The performing loan portfolio fair value estimate was $960.7 million and the impaired loan portfolio fair value estimate was $20.8 million.

Loans obtained in connection with the First Market Bank acquisition have been accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations and/or ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“ASC 310-30”) if the loan experienced deterioration of credit quality at the time of acquisition. Both require that acquired loans be recorded at fair value and prohibit the carry over of the related allowance for credit losses. Determining the fair value of the acquired loans required estimating cash flows expected to be collected on the loans. Because ASC 310-30 loans (i.e. impaired loans) have been recorded at fair value, such loans are not classified as nonaccrual even though some payments may be contractually past due.

At March 31, 2010, nonperforming assets totaled $63.4 million, an increase of $18.5 million compared to December 31, 2009 and an increase of $24.2 million compared to the same period a year ago. The increase compared to the most recent quarter principally related to increases in nonaccrual loans of $16.0 million. The increase in nonaccrual loans was principally related to residential real estate, land and commercial real estate loans. At March 31, 2010, the coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 88.7%, relatively flat compared to 89.3% a year earlier.

Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2010 included $38.3 million in nonperforming loans as summarized in the table below. The following table reflects the balances and changes from the most recent quarter (dollars in thousands):

Historically, and particularly in the current economic environment, the Company seeks to work with its customers on loan collection matters while taking appropriate actions to improve the Company’s position and minimize any losses. These loans are closely monitored and evaluated for collection with appropriate loss reserves established whenever necessary. The Company has in place a special assets loan committee, which includes the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Credit Officer and other senior lenders and credit officers that address significant potential problem loans and develop action plans related to such assets.

The acquisition of First Market Bank included $1.3 million in other real estate owned and related to residential real estate. Included in land development is $8.7 million related to a residential community in the Northern Neck region of Virginia which includes developed residential lots, a golf course and undeveloped land. Foreclosed properties have been adjusted to their fair values at the time of foreclosure and any losses have been taken as loan charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses. Other real estate owned asset valuations are also evaluated at least quarterly and any necessary write down to fair value is recorded as impairment.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, net charge-offs were $1.5 million, or 0.21% of loans on an annualized basis, compared to $8.2 million, or 1.73%, for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and $922 thousand, or 0.20%, in the same quarter last year. Net charge-offs in the current quarter included consumer loans of $719 thousand, real estate loans of $499 thousand and commercial loans of $253 thousand. At March 31, 2010, total past due loans were $54.2 million, or 1.90%, of total loans, a slight decline from 1.93% a year ago, and up from 1.56% at December 31, 2009.

Capital Resources

Capital resources represent funds, earned or obtained, over which financial institutions can exercise greater or longer control in comparison with deposits and borrowed funds. The adequacy of the Company’s capital is reviewed by management on an ongoing basis with reference to size, composition, and quality of the Company’s resources consistent with regulatory requirements and industry standards. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses, yet allow management to effectively leverage its capital to maximize return to shareholders.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, (the “Federal Reserve”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC have adopted capital guidelines to supplement the existing definitions of capital for regulatory purposes and to establish minimum capital standards. Specifically, the guidelines categorize assets and off-balance sheet items into four risk-weighted categories. The minimum ratio of qualifying total assets is 8.0%, of which 4.0% must be Tier 1 capital, consisting of common equity, retained earnings and a limited amount of perpetual preferred stock, less certain intangible items. The Company had a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.28% and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.18% as of March 31, 2010. In addition, each of the Company’s subsidiary banks had risk-based capital ratios exceeding the minimum requirements of “well-capitalized” as established by the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC. The Company’s equity to asset ratio was 10.77% at March 31, 2010.

While the subsidiary banks’ risk-based capital levels are considered “well-capitalized” by regulatory definition, a prolonged period of earnings at current levels and dividend payouts could negatively impact capital ratios. The Company has a capital planning and monitoring process in place as it strives to maintain its historical strong capital levels and remain “well-capitalized.”

On February 1, 2010, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of First Market Bank in an all stock transaction. First Market Bank’s common shareholders received 6,273.259 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each share of First Market Bank’s common stock, resulting in the Company issuing 6,701,478 common shares. The Series A preferred shareholder of First Market Bank received 775,795 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all shares of the Series A preferred stock. In connection with the transaction the Company issued a total of 7,477,273 common shares with an acquisition date fair value of $96.1 million. The Series B and Series C preferred shareholder of First Market Bank received 35,595 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred stock in exchange for all shares of the Series B and Series C preferred stock.

In September 2009, the Company completed a follow-on equity raise, which generated cash and capital of approximately $58.8 million, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses, from the issuance of 4,725,000 shares of common stock at a price of $13.25 per share.

In December 2008, the Company issued to the U. S. Treasury 59,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, for a total price of $59 million. The issuance was made pursuant to the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program under the Troubled Asset Relief Program. The Series A Preferred Stock paid a cumulative dividend at a rate of 5% per year during the first five years and thereafter at 9% per year. The transaction closed on December 19, 2008. At the time of issuance, the U. S. Treasury also received a warrant to purchase 422,636 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial per share exercise price of $20.94 to expire 10 years from the issuance date. In November 2009, the Company redeemed the Series A Preferred Stock, by repaying, with accumulated dividends, the $59 million it received in December 2008. Additionally, in December 2009, the Company entered into a Warrant Repurchase Letter Agreement (“Warrant Repurchase”) with the U. S. Treasury to repurchase a warrant to purchase 211,318 shares of the Company’s common stock that was issued in connection with the Company’s sale of Series A Preferred Stock. As a result of the Warrant Repurchase, the Company had no securities issued or outstanding to the U. S. Treasury and was no longer participating in the U. S. Treasury’s CPP as of November 18, 2009.

Prior to being acquired by the Company, First Market Bank participated in the U.S. Treasury’s CPP. In connection with the acquisition of First Market Bank, each share of Series B and Series C preferred stock of First Market Bank issued to the U.S. Treasury was converted into one share of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B. Despite the U.S. Treasury being the sole holder of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, the Company is not considered a participant in the U.S. Treasury’s CPP.

The Company’s outstanding series of preferred stock was established in connection with the acquisition of First Market Bank. On February 6, 2009, First Market Bank issued and sold to the U. S. Treasury 33,900 shares of its Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B and a warrant to purchase up to 1,695 shares of its Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C. The U. S. Treasury immediately exercised the warrant for the entire 1,695 shares. In connection with the Company’s acquisition, the board of directors established a series of preferred stock with substantially identical preferences, rights and limitations to the First Market Bank preferred stock. Pursuant to the closing of the acquisition, each share of First Market Bank Series B and Series C preferred stock was exchanged for one share of the Company’s Series B preferred stock. The Series B preferred stock of the Company pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5.19048% per annum for the first five years and thereafter at a rate of 9.0% per annum. The 5.19048% dividend rate is a blended rate comprised of the dividend rate of the 33,900 shares of First Market Bank 5% Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and 1,695 shares of First Market Bank 9% Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. The Series B preferred stock of the Company is non-voting and each share has a liquidation preference of $1,000.

In connection with its acquisitions of Prosperity and Guaranty, the Company issued trust preferred capital notes to fund the cash portion of those acquisitions, collectively totaling $58.5 million. The total of the trust preferred capital notes currently qualify for Tier 1 capital of the Company for regulatory purposes.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

In reporting the results as of March 31, 2010, the Company has provided supplemental performance measures on an operating or tangible basis. Such measures exclude amortization expense related to intangible assets, such as core deposit intangibles. The Company believes these measures are useful to investors as they exclude non-operating adjustments resulting from acquisition activity and allow investors to see the combined economic results of the organization. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, cash basis operating dilutive earnings per share were $0.12 as compared to $0.15 per share for the same period in 2009. Annualized cash basis returns on average tangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were 0.32% as compared to 0.34% for the same period in 2009. Annualized cash basis returns on average tangible equity for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were 3.82% as compared to 5.42%, respectively, for the same period in 2009.

These measures are a supplement to GAAP used to prepare the Company’s financial statements and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP measures. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures from their respective GAAP basis measures is presented in the following table (dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates and equity prices. The Company’s market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk. The Asset and Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) of the Company is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position of the Company and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to this risk. The Company’s Board of Directors reviews and approves the guidelines established by ALCO.

Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of three complementary modeling tools: static gap analysis, earnings simulation modeling, and economic value simulation (net present value estimation). Each of these models measures changes in a variety of interest rate scenarios. While each of the interest rate risk models has limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably comprehensive view of the magnitude of interest rate risk in the Company, the distribution of risk along the yield curve, the level of risk through time, and the amount of exposure to changes in certain interest rate relationships. Static gap, which measures aggregate re-pricing values, is less utilized because it does not effectively measure the options risk impact on the Company and is not addressed here. Earnings simulation and economic value models, which more effectively measure the cash flow and optionality impacts, are utilized by management on a regular basis and are explained below.

EARNINGS SIMULATION ANALYSIS

Management uses simulation analysis to measure the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates. The model calculates an earnings estimate based on current and projected balances and rates. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but it provides a better analysis of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analyses, such as the static gap analysis discussed above.

Assumptions used in the model are derived from historical trends and management’s outlook and include loan and deposit growth rates and projected yields and rates. Such assumptions are monitored and periodically adjusted as appropriate. All maturities, calls and prepayments in the securities portfolio are assumed to be reinvested in like instruments. Mortgage loans and mortgage backed securities prepayment assumptions are based on industry estimates of prepayment speeds for portfolios with similar coupon ranges and seasoning. Different interest rate scenarios and yield curves are used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to changing interest rates. Interest rates on different asset and liability accounts move differently when the prime rate changes and are reflected in the different rate scenarios.

The Company uses its simulation model to estimate earnings in rate environments where rates ramp up or down around a “most likely” rate scenario, based on implied forward rates. The analysis assesses the impact on net interest income over a 12 month time horizon by applying 12-month rate ramps, with interest rates rising gradually, versus an immediate increase or “shock” in rates, of 100 basis points up to 200 basis points. The ramp down 200 basis points analysis is not meaningful as interest rates are at historic lows and cannot drop another 200 basis points. The model, under all scenarios, does not drop the index below zero. The following table represents the interest rate sensitivity on net interest income for the Company across the rate paths modeled for balances ended March 31, 2010 (dollars in thousands):

 

     Change In Net Interest Income

ECONOMIC VALUE SIMULATION

Economic value simulation is used to calculate the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities over different interest rate environments. Economic values are calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis. The net economic value of equity is the economic value of all assets minus the economic value of all liabilities. The change in net economic value over different rate environments is an indication of the longer-term earnings capability of the balance sheet. The same assumptions are used in the economic value simulation as in the earnings simulation. The economic value simulation uses instantaneous rate shocks to the balance sheet where the earnings simulation uses rate ramps over 12 months. The following chart reflects the estimated change in net economic value over different rate environments using economic value simulation for the balances at the period ended March 31, 2010 (dollars in thousands):

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.
