Harrisonburg Branch Acquisition

On May 20, 2011, the Company completed the purchase of the former NewBridge Bank branch in Harrisonburg, Virginia, assets and liabilities related to the branch business, and a potential branch site in Waynesboro, Virginia. Under the parties’ agreement, the Company purchased loans of $72.5 million, assumed deposit liabilities of $48.9 million, and purchased the related fixed assets of the branch. The Company operates the acquired bank branch under the name Union First Market Bank (the “Harrisonburg branch”). The acquisition, which allowed the Company to establish immediately a meaningful presence in a new banking market, is consistent with the Company’s secondary growth strategy of expanding operations along the Interstate Route 81 corridor. The Company’s consolidated statements of income include the results of operations of the Harrisonburg branch from the closing date of the acquisition.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $1.8 million of goodwill and $9,500 of core deposit intangibles. The core deposit intangible of $9,500 was expensed immediately upon completion of the acquisition. The recorded goodwill was allocated to the community banking segment of the Company and is deductible for tax purposes.

The Company acquired the $72.5 million loan portfolio at a fair value discount of $1.7 million. The discount represents expected credit losses, adjustments to market interest rates and liquidity adjustments. The performing loan portfolio fair value estimate was $70.5 million and the impaired loan portfolio fair value estimate was $276,000.

 

In the third quarter, interest income of approximately $640,000 was recorded on loans acquired in the Harrisonburg branch acquisition. The outstanding principal balance and the carrying amount of these loans included in the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

 

         

September 30, 2012:

       

Outstanding principal balance

  $ 47,658  

Carrying amount

  $ 47,131  
   

December 31, 2011:

       

Outstanding principal balance

  $ 54,953  

Carrying amount

  $ 53,359  

Loans obtained in the acquisition of the Harrisonburg branch 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 are not considered to be material to the Company’s consolidated assets.

First Market Bank Acquisition

In February 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of First Market Bank, FSB (“FMB”). Interest income on acquired loans for the third quarter of 2012 was approximately $6.5 million. The outstanding principal balance and the carrying amount of these loans included in the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

 

         

September 30, 2012:

       

Outstanding principal balance

  $ 471,557  

Carrying amount

  $ 462,552  
   

December 31, 2011:

       

Outstanding principal balance

  $ 632,602  

Carrying amount

  $ 620,048  

Loans obtained in the acquisition of FMB 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 are not considered to be material to the Company’s consolidated assets.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company compared the expected prepayments at acquisition to actual payments and anticipated future payments on four purchased performing loan pools. The slower prepayment speed noted on real estate, commercial real estate, land, and auto pools during this assessment resulted in an adjustment to the fair value discount accretion rate. This is considered a change in accounting estimate and resulted in a lower effective yield in each pool and had an immaterial impact on the financial statements.
