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 during 2011. 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.

 

Interest income on acquired loans for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $2.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The outstanding principal balance and the carrying amount of these loans included in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

 

         

December 31, 2012:

       

Outstanding principal balance

  $ 46,057  

Carrying amount

  $ 45,654  
   

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.

The amounts of the Harrisonburg branch revenue and earnings included in the Company’s consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2011, and the revenue and earnings of the combined entity had the acquisition date been January 1, 2010, are presented in the pro forma table below. These results combine the historical results of the Harrisonburg branch into the Company’s consolidated statement of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2010. In particular, no adjustments have been made to include provision for loan losses in 2010 on the acquired loan portfolio and related branch specific income taxes. The disclosure of the Harrisonburg branch post-acquisition revenue and net income were not practicable due to combining its operations with the Bank upon closing of the acquisition.

Proforma information is not presented for the year-ending December 31, 2012 since the acquisition occurred in 2011 and therefore the earnings for the year-ended December 31, 2012 already includes the impact of the prior year acquisition.

Acquisition related expenses associated with the acquisition of Harrisonburg branch were $426,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, and are recorded in “Other operating expenses” in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. There were no acquisition related expenses related to the Harrisonburg branch for the year ended December 31, 2012. Such costs principally included system conversion and operations integration charges which have been expensed as incurred.

First Market Bank Acquisition

On February 1, 2010, the Company completed the 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 FMB 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 FMB transaction was 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. Based on the annual testing during the second quarter of each year and the absence of impairment indicators during the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company has recorded no impairment charges to date for goodwill or intangible assets.

Interest income on acquired loans for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $25.3 million and $36.9 million, respectively. The outstanding principal balance and the carrying amount of these loans included in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows (dollars in thousands):
