UNION FIRST MARKET BANKSHARES CORPORATION REPORTS FOURTH

QUARTER AND ANNUAL RESULTS

Richmond, Va., January 26, 2011 - Union First Market Bankshares Corporation (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: UBSH) today reported net income of $4.4 million and earnings per share of $0.15 for its fourth quarter and net income of $22.9 million and earnings per share of $0.83 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The quarterly results represent an increase of $1.6 million in net income and $0.15 in earnings per share from the prior year fourth quarter and an increase of $14.6 million in net income and a $0.64 increase in earnings per share from the year ended on December 31, 2009.

“Union First Market Bankshares delivered strong earnings to our shareholders in 2010 and we are proud of what our teammates were able to accomplish including the acquisition of First Market Bank and the consolidation of our two affiliate banks into the Union First Market Bank brand,” said G. William Beale, chief executive officer of Union First Market Bankshares. “During the fourth quarter, we announced our agreement to acquire the Harrisonburg branch of NewBridge Bank and expect to close that acquisition in May 2011. We have increased our efforts to manage our nonperforming assets and work through issues with some of our borrowers. Our bank remains one of the strongest community banks in Virginia and is uniquely positioned to grow profitably through these challenging times.”

Select highlights:

 

   

Net income for the year ending December 31, 2010 was $22.9 million—the highest level in four years. Net income excluding $9.4 million in one-time expenses amounted to approximately $29.8 million.

 

   

The core net interest margin for the fourth quarter was 4.29%, excluding the impact of acquisition accounting, an increase of 6 basis points from the third quarter and an increase of 32 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2009.

 

   

Due to additional earning assets from the First Market Bank (“FMB”) acquisition and significant reductions in the cost of funds, net interest income improved $16.6 million from the fourth quarter of 2009.

 

   

Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 2.17% from 1.81% in the third quarter of 2010. Nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”) experienced similar increases due principally to continued softness in residential home builder real estate markets we serve. Provision for loan losses increased $3.6 million from the third quarter and were principally related to charge-offs from continued weakness in the residential home builder real estate markets.

 

   

Mortgage segment net income for the fourth quarter was $854,000, a slight decline of $45,000 from the third quarter of 2010. This completed a year of strong performance in which the mortgage segment generated net income of $3.1 million.

Nonrecurring costs of $584,000 were incurred in the fourth quarter relating to merging two affiliate banks, Northern Neck State Bank and Rappahannock National Bank, into Union First Market Bank. The consolidation was completed on October 12, 2010. Total costs for the affiliate merger were $843,000 in 2010.

 

   

On December 21, 2010, the Company announced it will acquire approximately $73.5 million of loans and assume $59.3 million in deposits at book value through the acquisition of the Harrisonburg, Virginia branch of NewBridge Bank. The close date is expected to be in the second quarter of 2011.

 

   

Year-to-date income and expenses include the operations of the former FMB for the eleven months since the February 1, 2010 business combination.

The increase in quarterly net income from the prior year largely relates to improvements in the net interest margin and the addition of the operations of the former FMB partially offset by increased provisions for loan losses and other credit costs. Fourth quarter net income available to common shareholders, which deducts dividends and discount accretion on preferred stock from net income, was $3.9 million compared to ($52,000) for the prior year’s fourth quarter.

Fourth quarter net income decreased $3.6 million from the third quarter and was largely attributable to an increase in the provision for loan losses in response to continued weakness in the residential home builder real estate market as well as other nonrecurring costs associated with the Company’s affiliate mergers and lease termination charges.

The $14.6 million increase of reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was largely attributable to the addition of FMB and improvement in the net interest margin, partially offset by nonrecurring acquisition costs and increased credit costs.

NET INTEREST INCOME

On a linked quarter basis, tax-equivalent net interest income was $40.2 million, an increase of $595,000, or 1.49%, from the third quarter. The linked quarter increase was principally due to increased yields on investment securities, a continued low cost structure of interest-bearing liabilities partially offset by lower loan yields. Fourth quarter tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 8 basis points to 4.55% from 4.47% in the prior quarter. The net interest margin increase was principally attributable to the increase on investment security yields and lower interest-bearing deposits. During the fourth quarter, the funding mix continued to shift from higher cost certificates of deposit to lower cost money market accounts and demand deposits.

The fourth quarter tax-equivalent net interest income increased $16.8 million, or 71.28%, when compared to the same period last year. This improvement was principally attributable to declines in costs of interest-bearing liabilities, as well as increased interest-earning assets related to the acquisition of FMB. The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 58 basis points to 4.55%

from 3.97% in the prior year. The improvement in the cost of funds was principally a result of declining costs on certificates of deposit and fair value adjustments from acquisition accounting. The decrease in interest-earning asset yields was principally related to lower loan yields, net of acquisition related interest accretion, and lower yields on investment securities.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, tax-equivalent net interest income increased $72.1 million, or 86.312%, to $155.7 million compared to the prior year. This improvement was principally attributable to a decline in cost of interest-bearing liabilities and increased interest-earning assets related to the acquisition of FMB. The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 101 basis points to 4.56 % from 3.55% in the prior year. The improvement in the cost of funds was principally a result of declining costs on certificates of deposit and money market accounts, fair value adjustments from acquisition accounting and lower costs related to FHLB borrowings.

Acquisition Activity

The impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments on net interest income was $2.3 million and $10.8 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010, respectively. If not for this impact, the net interest margin for the fourth quarter would have been 4.29%, a slight increase from the third quarter and a 32 basis point improvement from the same quarter a year ago. The Company’s ability to maintain the net interest margin at current levels is largely dependent upon future interest rates, loan demand, and deposit competition.

The acquired loan and investment security portfolios of FMB were marked-to-market with a fair value discount to market rates. Performing loan and investment security discount accretion is recognized as interest income over the estimated remaining life of the loans and investment securities. The Company also assumed borrowings (Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and subordinated debt) and certificates of deposit. These liabilities were marked-to-market with estimates of fair value on acquisition date. The resulting discount/premium to market is accreted/amortized as an increase (or decrease) to interest expense over the estimated lives of the liabilities.

ASSET QUALITY/LOAN LOSS PROVISION

Overview

During the fourth quarter, the Company continued to experience some deterioration in asset quality, principally within the builder residential real estate portfolio, as the housing market remained soft. While economic indicators suggest the recession has technically ended and there are some signs of increased economic activity, the signals are somewhat mixed and there could be additional softening in asset quality in the near term. The magnitude of any such softening is largely dependent upon any lagging impact on commercial real estate, the recovery of residential housing, and the pace at which the economies in the markets we serve recover.

While the level of nonperforming assets increased at the end of 2010, the levels are considered manageable by the Company. Resources continue to be devoted specifically to the ongoing review of the loan portfolio and the workouts of problem assets to minimize any losses to the Company. 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. This committee addresses significant potential problem loans, formulates strategies, and develops action plans related to such assets. During the fourth quarter, the Company reassigned a senior officer, with significant real estate experience, to oversee the problem loan and OREO areas of the Company, as well as the five special asset loan officers dedicated to that area. Management continues 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 adjusts the allowance for loan losses accordingly. 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.

Acquisition

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company acquired the loan portfolio of FMB at a fair value discount of $30.0 million (the 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. During the fourth quarter, the Company recognized $787,000 in provision for loan losses related to the acquired portfolio, offsetting a portion of the accretion on the acquired performing loan portfolio.

 

Page 4 of 16


Loans obtained in connection with the FMB 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 carryover of the related allowance for loan 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. The carrying amount of purchased impaired loans was $14.0 million at December 31, 2010, or approximately 0.50% of total loans.

Nonperforming Assets (NPAs)

At December 31, 2010, nonperforming assets totaled $97.8 million, an increase of $19.8 million compared to the third quarter and an increase of $52.9 million compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in NPAs continues to be related to stresses in the residential home builder market, which are largely a result of the recent recession and the subsequent slow pace of the economic recovery. Nonperforming loans have increased as residential real estate borrowers (i.e. builders) continue to experience financial difficulties with the protracted economic recovery depleting their cash reserves and other repayment resources. In addition, after working with the borrowers, the Company has had to foreclose on various real estate collateral in order to avoid additional losses. The increase in NPAs from the third quarter related to increases in nonaccrual loans of $10.1 million and OREO of $9.7 million. The net increase in nonaccrual loans was within the commercial real estate and residential real estate loan portfolios. The net increase in OREO was within the residential real estate and land loan portfolios. At December 31, 2010, the coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 62.2%, a decline from 136.4% a year earlier and 72.4% in the third quarter. Despite this decline, impairment analyses provided appropriate reserves on these nonperforming loans while appropriate reserves on homogenous pools continue to be maintained.

Nonperforming Loans (NPLs)

Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2010 included $61.7 million in nonperforming loans. This total includes residential real estate loans of $29.8 million, land loans of $14.1 million, commercial real estate loans of $13.7 million, commercial and industrial loans of $2.6 million and land development loans of $1.5 million.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)

Nonperforming assets also included $36.1 million in other real estate owned. This total includes residential real estate of $13.4 million, land development of $11.2 million, land of $7.7 million, commercial real estate of $2.8 million and land held for development of bank branch sites of $1.0 million. Included in land development is $8.6 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 were adjusted to their fair values at the time of each foreclosure and any losses were taken as loan charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses at that time. OREO asset valuations are also evaluated at least quarterly and any necessary write down to fair value is recorded as impairment. During the fourth quarter, the Company increased OREO by a net of $9.7 million, selling approximately $3.4 million at a net loss of $196,000 while adding $13.3 million. The sales principally related to residential real estate properties on a lot by lot basis. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company increased OREO by $13.6 million, selling $11.7 million at a net gain of $207,000 while adding $24.8 million, capitalizing costs of $404,000 and writing down OREO to fair market value by $43,000. The Company expects this type of activity to continue until the market for these properties and the economy as a whole sees marked improvement. The Company also believes that its foreclosure practices are sound.

Charge-offs

Year-to-date net charge-offs were $16.4 million, or 0.58%, of total loans. For the quarter ended December 31, 2010, net charge-offs were $8.5 million, or 1.19%, of loans on an annualized basis, compared to $2.5 million, or 0.35%, for the third quarter and $8.2 million, or 1.73%, in the same quarter last year. Net charge-offs in the fourth quarter included real estate loans of $6.6 million, commercial loans of $985,000, and consumer loans of $937,000. At December 31, 2010, total past due loans were $55.2 million, or 1.95%, of total loans, an increase from 1.56% a year ago, but down from 1.99% at September 30, 2010.

Provision

The provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter was $9.5 million, an increase of $3.6 million from the third quarter and $3.8 million from the same quarter a year ago. The current level 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 FMB’s previously established allowance for loan losses. The increases in the provision for loan losses from the third quarter were principally related to asset quality deterioration in the residential home builder portfolio. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the total loan portfolio, including net loans purchased at fair value in the FMB acquisition, was 1.35% at December 31, 2010, 1.32% at September 30, 2010 and 1.63% at December 31, 2009. The reduction in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans compared to the prior year is related to the elimination of FMB’s allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the total loan portfolio, adjusted for acquired loans, was 1.88% at December 31, 2010, an increase from 1.86% at September 30, 2010.

NONINTEREST INCOME

On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income increased $725,000, or 5.9%, to $13.1 million from $12.4 million in the third quarter. Gains on the sale of loans in the mortgage segment increased $488,000 and were driven by increased originations stimulated in part by a surge in refinance activity as a result of the low interest rate environment. Refinanced loans represented 56.1% of originations during the fourth quarter compared to 50.4% during the third quarter and 43.1% year to date. Other service charges and account fees increased $255,000 relating to an increase in clearing charges for brokerage transactions, letter of credit fees, ATM interchange and usage fees, and safe deposit box income. Deposit account service charge income and trust revenue was flat quarter to quarter. During the quarter, the Company recorded non-recurring gains on sales of other real estate owned of $252,000, which included the sale of an investment property for a gain of $448,000, net of sales of other real estate owned at a loss of $196,000. Excluding the mortgage segment operations and real estate sales gains in the current and prior quarters, noninterest income increased $358,000, or 5.8%.

For the fourth quarter, noninterest income increased $4.6 million, or 54.9%, to $13.1 million from $8.4 million in the prior year’s same quarter and reflects the FMB acquisition. Gains on sales of loans in the mortgage segment increased $2.2 million, or 51.5%. The increase in gain on sale revenue was driven by the increased originations, adjustments to loan fees and pricing strategies, volume related revenue incentives and the contribution of newer branches originating loans at favorable margins. Other service charges and fees increased $1.5 million, primarily as a result of increased debit card income, ATM income, brokerage commissions, and letter of credit fees. Other operating income increased $532,000 from trust revenue and bank owned life insurance investment income. During the quarter, the Company also recorded the aforementioned real estate gains. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $247,000 from increases in commercial fees, overdraft income and ATM service charges. Additionally, the Company recorded $137,000 lower gains in investment securities transactions.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, noninterest income increased $14.3 million, or 43.5%, to $47.3 million from $33.0 million in the same period in 2009, and reflects the FMB acquisition for eleven months since the acquisition date. Other service charges and fees increased $5.4 million, primarily related to increases in debit card income, ATM income and brokerage commissions and letter of credit fees. Mortgage originations increased $105.0 million from $703.7 million to $808.7 million, or 14.9%, over the same period last year, as gains on the sale of loans increased $5.5 million, or 33.0%. Gains on the sale of loans were driven by increased originations in addition to the contribution of newer branches originating loans at favorable margins, adjustments to loan fee and pricing policies and volume related revenue incentives. Other operating income increased $2.0 million and relates to revenue from the acquired FMB trust operations and bank owned life insurance investment income. Account service charges increased $853,000 from overdraft and returned check charges and fees on commercial and savings accounts. During the year, the Company recorded non-recurring gains on sales of other real estate owned of $628,000 which included primarily residential real estate and land lots, of $207,000, a gain on the sale of an investment property of $448,000 and other losses of $27,000 on fixed assets.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

On a linked quarter basis, noninterest expense increased $3.1 million, or 9.1%, to $37.1 million from $34.0 million when compared to the third quarter. Other operating expenses increased $2.8 million, or 23.9%, which included increased marketing and advertising costs of $837,000 in print and radio campaigns, Loyalty Banking® premiums, and timing of community event sponsorships and donations. Also adding to the increase were other non-recurring costs during the quarter. These costs included post acquisition lease and contract termination fees of $708,000 on the FMB acquisition, and costs related to the consolidation of bank affiliates of $584,000. Additionally, the Company incurred increased costs in maintaining the Company’s portfolio of other real estate owned of $574,000. FDIC insurance increased $198,000 due to a FDIC final assessment true-up in the prior quarter relating to combined deposit balances as a result of the FMB acquisition. Salaries and benefits expense increased $193,000 related to higher commissions in the mortgage segment, partially offset by lower profit sharing and incentive compensation. Excluding mortgage segment operations and non-recurring costs, noninterest expense increased approximately $1.5 million, or 5.3%, from the third quarter.

For the fourth quarter, noninterest expense increased $15.2 million, or 69.2%, to $37.1 million from $21.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 and reflects the FMB acquisition. Salaries and benefits increased $6.7 million and were primarily due to increased salary expense of $5.3 million related to additional personnel as result of the acquisition, increases in profit sharing expense of $562,000 due to improved profitability and higher group insurance costs of $485,000 from increased current year premiums and additional personnel. Commissions in the mortgage segment increased $1.0 million, or 46.4%, as a result of increased originations. Other operating expenses increased $6.6 million. Included in other operating expenses were higher amortization on acquired deposit intangible assets of $1.6 million, higher marketing and advertising expenses of $1.0 million related to Loyalty Banking® premiums and multi-media brand awareness campaigns for Union First Market Bank, higher internet and communication expenses of $946,000, and higher data processing fees of $431,000 related to increased loans and deposits from the FMB acquisition. Additionally, the Company incurred increased costs in maintaining the Company’s portfolio of OREO of $597,000. Other increases in other operating expenses included increased FDIC insurance premiums of $484,000 due to acquired deposits, other costs associated with ATM and bank card of $359,000, and higher legal and professional fees of $118,000 due to continuing problem loan work outs and foreclosure activity. During the quarter, the Company recorded non-recurring other operating expenses noted above. Occupancy expenses increased $1.2 million primarily related to additional rental expense, depreciation, and operations of acquired branches.

Furniture and equipment expense increased $598,000 due to higher depreciation and amortization expense from acquired fixed assets and equipment service contracts.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, noninterest expense increased $57.7 million, or 67.7%, to $143.0 million from $85.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 and reflects the FMB acquisition for the eleven months since acquisition date. Other operating expenses increased $26.7 million. This increase included increases in acquisition costs of $7.9 million, increases in amortization of acquired deposit intangible assets of $5.7 million, higher marketing and advertising expenses of $2.9 million related to Loyalty Banking® premiums and multi-media brand awareness campaigns for Union First Market Bank, and higher communications expenses of $3.0 million. Data processing fees increased $2.0 million principally as a result of increases in acquired loans and deposits volumes. Additional other increases of $1.5 million related to ATM, bank card and overdraft losses. Professional fees increased $1.0 million primarily as a result of higher legal fees for continuing problem loan work outs and foreclosure activity. Due to maintenance of the Company’s portfolio of other real estate owned and collection efforts on problem loans, loan expenses increased $1.4 million. Salaries and benefits expense increased $24.6 million primarily due to higher salaries expense of $17.2 million related principally to additional personnel from the FMB acquisition, higher profit sharing expense of $3.0 million from improved profitability, higher group insurance costs of $1.9 million from higher current year premiums and additional personnel. Commissions in the mortgage segment increased $2.5 million, or 31.2%, as a result of increased originations. Occupancy costs increased $4.4 million and primarily related to additional rental expense and operations of acquired branches. Furniture and equipment expense increased $2.0 million resulting from higher depreciation and amortization expense related to acquired fixed assets and maintenance and equipment service contracts.

Total costs associated with the acquisition of FMB were $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Costs included legal and accounting fees, lease and contract termination expenses, system conversion, integrating operations, and employee severances, which were expensed as incurred. The costs are reported as a component of “Other operating expenses” within the Company’s “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.” Total acquisition costs incurred from the date the Company announced the acquisition of FMB in 2009 through December 31, 2010 were $9.4 million, $1.4 million below the initial estimate of $10.8 million.

Nonrecurring costs of $584,000 were incurred in the fourth quarter relating to merging two affiliate banks, Northern Neck State Bank and Rappahannock National Bank, into Union First Market Bank. Total costs during 2010 for the consolidation were $843,000. The consolidation was completed on October 12, 2010 and no additional costs are expected to be incurred. In addition, during the current quarter the Company terminated the lease on the former FMB operations center and a vendor contract totaling $584,000 and $124,000 respectively

At December 31, 2010, total cash and cash equivalents were $61.2 million, a decrease of $19.0 million from September 30, 2010, and an increase of $15.2 million from December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2010, net loans were $2.8 billion, a decrease of $6.0 million from the prior quarter. Net loans increased $955.1 million, or 51.8%, from December 31, 2009, principally the result of the acquired loan portfolio of FMB, which totaled $981.5 million at acquisition. Loans held for sale by the Company’s mortgage segment decreased by $10.4 million from the prior quarter, but increased by $19.7 million from December 31, 2009 as mortgage production increased. At December 31, 2010, total assets were $3.8 billion, a decrease of $22.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2010, and an increase of $1.2 billion from $2.6 billion at December 31, 2009, driven principally by the acquisition of FMB.

Total deposits decreased $4.1 million compared to the third quarter driven by lower demand deposits and CDs, offset by higher money market and NOW accounts. Total deposits increased $1.2 billion, or 60.2%, from December 31, 2009, principally related to the acquired deposits of FMB, which totaled $1.2 billion. Total borrowings, including repurchase agreements, decreased $17.9 million on a linked quarter basis and $57.9 million from December 31, 2009. The Company’s equity to assets ratio was 11.15% and 10.9% at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company’s tangible common equity to assets ratio was 8.22% and 8.64% at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

MORTGAGE SEGMENT INFORMATION

On a linked quarter basis, the mortgage segment net income for the fourth quarter decreased $45,000, or 5.0%, to $854,000 from $899,000 in the third quarter of 2010, despite higher originations of $16.1 million from $220.4 million to $236.5 million, or 7.3%, from the third quarter. Gains on the sale of loans increased $488,000, or 8.2%, and were driven by increased originations stimulated in part by a surge in refinance activity as a result of the low interest rate environment. Refinanced loans represented 56.1% of originations during the fourth quarter compared to 50.4% during the third quarter and 43.1% year to date. The decline in net income was related to an increase in noninterest expense. Salary and benefit expenses increased $558,000 due to staffing additions required to handle increased production and support operational needs in addition to volume driven commission expense. Occupancy and equipment expense increased 7.9% and 25.4% respectively on a linked basis as the result of the addition of a new office and renovations and relocation costs for others.

For the fourth quarter, the mortgage segment net income increased $362,000 to $854,000, from $492,000 for the same quarter in 2009. Originations increased $51.4 million from $185.1 million to $236.5 million, or 27.8%, during the same period last year. Gains on the sale of loans increased $2.2 million, or 51.5%. The increase in gain on sale revenue was driven by the increased originations, adjustments to loan fees and pricing strategies, volume related revenue incentives and the contribution of newer branches originating loans at favorable margins. Noninterest expenses increased $1.8 million. Of this amount, salaries and benefits increased $1.5 million as the result of commissions associated with the growth of loan originations and personnel expenses incurred with the hiring of corporate support staff to service increased loan volume. Also contributing to increased salaries and benefits was the opening of branch offices in the latter part of 2009 and early 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the mortgage segment net income increased $688,000, or 28.2%, to $3.1 million from $2.4 million in the same period of 2009. Originations increased $104.9 million from $703.7 million to $808.7 million, or 14.9%, compared to the same period last year, as gains on the sale of loans increased $5.5 million, or 33.1%. Gains on the sale of loans

were driven by increased originations in addition to the contribution of newer branches originating loans at favorable margins, adjustments to loan fee and pricing policies and volume related revenue incentives. Noninterest expenses increased $5.0 million. Of this amount, salaries and benefits increased $3.8 million primarily related to increased commissions generated by loan originations as well as costs associated with additional branch office and corporate support personnel required to support production growth. Other operating expenses increased $756,000 principally due to origination related increased underwriting costs and loan expenses, investments in technology and additions to the branch office network.

(1) Excludes acquired loans, but includes any acquired loan with additional credit deterioration since acquisition.

(2) As a supplement to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), management also reviews operating performance based on its "cash basis earnings" to fully analyze its core business. Cash basis earnings exclude amortization expense attributable to intangibles (goodwill and core deposit intangibles) that do not qualify as regulatory capital. Financial ratios based on cash basis earnings exclude the amortization of nonqualifying intangible assets from earnings and the unamortized balance of nonqualifying intangibles from assets and equity.

In management's opinion, cash basis earnings are useful to investors because by excluding non-operating adjustments stemming from the consolidation of our organization, they allow investors to see clearly the combined economic results of our multi-bank company. These non-GAAP disclosures should not, however, be viewed in direct comparison with non-GAAP measures of other companies.
