VIRGINIA COMMERCE BANCORP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.                     General

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Virginia Commerce Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and reclassifications consisting of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the financial positions as of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the results of operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, and statements of cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2008.

 

Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009, or any other period.

 

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), on January 1, 2008, to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. SFAS 157 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 market participants.

 

In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-3 (“FSP 157-3”) to clarify the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and to provide key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financials statements were not issued.

 

SFAS 157 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 SFAS 157 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 market.

 

 

Level 3 —

Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.

 

 

6



 

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 considers observable market data (Level 2).

 

The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009 (dollars in thousands).  Securities identified in Note 2 as restricted securities including stock in the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”), Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) and Community Bankers Bank (“CBB”) are excluded from the table below since there is no ability to sell these securities except when the FRB, FHLB or CBB require redemptions based on certain portions of our capital.

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 one-to-four family 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 quarter ended June 30, 2009. Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within income from mortgage banking on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Impaired Loans : Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that not all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will 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, marketable securities or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. For securities, the fair values of marketable securities are based upon quoted market prices.  The vast majority of the 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 real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ 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 are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis through the allowance for loan losses.  Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Foreclosed Assets:   Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held-for-sale and are initially recorded at the lesser of book value or fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by Management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period (dollars in thousands).

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

 

Cash and Short-Term Investments

 

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

 

Securities

 

For securities held for investment purposes, fair values are based upon quoted market prices, when available. 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 considers observable market data. The carrying value of restricted stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the issuers.

 

Loans Held-for-Sale

 

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.

 

Loan Receivables

 

For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some residential mortgages, and other consumer loans, fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices for securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.  The fair value of other types of 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.

 

Deposits and Borrowings

 

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  For all other deposits and borrowings, the fair value is determined using the discounted cash flow method.  The discount rate was equal to the rate currently offered on similar products.

 

Accrued Interest

 

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

 

8



 

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter 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 stand-by 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 June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the fair value of loan commitments and stand-by letters of credit were deemed immaterial, and therefore, are not included in the table below.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to market risk which includes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change).  As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize this risk.

The amortized cost of securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements, certain public deposits, and other purposes were $213.6 million and $280.0 million at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively.

 

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.  An impairment is considered to be other-than temporary if the Company (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost, or (3) does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis. Provided below is a summary of all securities which were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2009, that were evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment, and deemed to not have an other-than-temporary impairment. Presently, the Company does not intend to sell any of these securities, will not be required to sell these securities, and expects to recover the entire amortized cost of all the securities.

 

10



 

For U.S. Government Agency and obligations of states/political subdivisions, the unrealized losses result from market or interest rate risk, while the unrealized losses pertaining to the domestic corporate debt obligations are due to both performance and credit ratings. For these securities, Management performed a review of the financial performance of the underlying issuers, current levels of payment deferrals and or defaults, the amount of additional deferrals and or defaults that would be required before the securities would experience a break in yield, and a present value analysis of expected future cash flows.

6.                     Stock Compensation Plan

 

At June 30, 2009, the Company had a stock-based compensation plan. Included in salaries and employee benefits expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, is $314 thousand and $288 thousand, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense which is based on the estimated fair value of 746,393 options granted between January 2006 and June 2009, as adjusted, amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year requisite service period. As of June 30, 2009, there was $1.6 million remaining of total unrecognized compensation expense related to these option awards which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service periods.

 

The fair value of each grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for grants in 2009 and 2008:

8.                     Other Borrowed Money and Lines of Credit

 

The Bank maintains a $415.6 million line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.  The interest rate and term of each advance from the line is dependent upon the advance and commitment type.  Advances on the line are secured by all of the Bank’s qualifying first liens, second liens and home equity lines-of-credit on one-to-four unit single-family dwellings.  As of June 30, 2009, the book value of these qualifying loans totaled approximately $194.4 million and the amount of available credit using this collateral was $80.1 million. Advances on the line of credit in excess of this amount, require pledging of additional assets, including other types of loans and investment securities. As of June 30, 2009, the Bank had $25.0 million in advances outstanding.  The Bank has additional short-term lines of credit totaling $62.0 million with nonaffiliated banks at June 30, 2009, of which there were no balances outstanding.

 

9.                     Trust Preferred Capital Notes

 

On December 19, 2002, the Company completed a private placement issuance of $15.0 million of trust preferred securities through a newly formed, wholly-owned, subsidiary trust (VCBI Capital Trust II) which issued $470 thousand in common equity to the Company. These securities bear a floating rate of interest, adjusted semi-annually, of 330 basis points over six month Libor, currently 4.40%. These securities are callable at par beginning December 30, 2007, on any semi-annual interest payment date, but have not been redeemed to date. On December 20, 2005, the Company completed a private placement of $25.0 million of trust preferred securities through a newly formed, wholly-owned, subsidiary trust (VCBI Capital Trust III) which issued $774 thousand in common equity to the Company. These securities bear a fixed rate of interest of 6.19% until February 23, 2011, at which time they convert to a floating rate, adjusted quarterly, of 142 basis points over three month Libor. These securities are callable at par beginning February 23, 2011.

 

On September 24, 2008, the Company completed a private placement, to its directors and certain executive officers, of $25.0 million of trust preferred securities through a newly formed, wholly-owned, subsidiary trust (VCBI Capital Trust IV) which issued $775 thousand in common equity to the Company.  These securities bear a fixed rate of interest of 10.20% and are callable at par beginning September 24, 2013. In connection with the issuance of the trust preferred securities, the Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.5 million shares of common stock to the purchasers.  The warrants have a five year term and an exercise price of $6.83 per share.

 

The principal asset of each trust is a similar amount of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with an approximately 30 year term from issuance and like interest rates to the trust preferred securities. The obligations of the Company with respect to the trust preferred securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of each Trust’s obligations with respect to the trust preferred securities to the extent set forth in the related guarantees. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company may elect from

 

14



 

time to time to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities, resulting in a deferral of distribution payments on the related trust preferred securities. If the Company defers interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities, or otherwise is in default of the obligations in respect to the trust preferred securities, the Company would be prohibited from making dividend payments to its shareholders, and from most purchases, redemptions or acquisitions of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Trust Preferred Securities may be included in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy purposes up to 25.0% of Tier 1 capital after its inclusion. The portion of the trust preferred securities not qualifying as Tier 1 capital may be included as part of total qualifying capital in Tier 2 capital, subject to limitation.

 

10.              Preferred Stock and Warrant

 

On December 12, 2008, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement (“Agreement”) with the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”), whereby the Company issued and sold to the Treasury 71 thousand shares of fixed rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock with a par value of $1.00 and a liquidation amount of $1,000 per share, for a total price of $71.0 million.  In addition, the Treasury received a warrant to purchase 2,696,203 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.95 per share.  Subject to certain restrictions, the preferred stock and the warrant are transferable by the Treasury.  The allocated carrying values of the preferred stock and the warrant, based on their relative fair values, were $62.5 million and $8.5 million respectively.

 

The preferred stock pays dividends quarterly, beginning February 2009, at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years, then increases to 9% thereafter.  The Company may redeem the preferred stock at any time, subject to consultation with the Federal Reserve, at the liquidation amount of $1,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.  Approval from the Treasury is required to increase common stock dividends or to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock prior to December 12, 2011, unless the preferred stock has been fully redeemed.

 

The warrant has a ten year term and is immediately exercisable.  However, the Treasury may only exercise or transfer one-half of the warrant prior to the earlier of the date on which the Company receives gross proceeds of not less than $71.0 million from qualified equity offerings on December 31, 2009.  If gross proceeds of not less than $71.0 million are received from qualified equity offerings prior to December 31, 2009, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant will be reduced by one-half.  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Treasury will not exercise voting rights with respect to any shares of common stock it acquires upon exercise of the warrant; voting rights may be exercised by any other holder.

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

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This management’s discussion and analysis and other portions of this report, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements of goals, intentions, and expectations as to future trends, plans, events or results of Company operations and policies and regarding general economic conditions. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by use of words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “plans,” “estimates,” “potential,” “continue,” “should,” and similar words or phrases. These statements are based upon current and anticipated economic conditions, nationally and in the Company’s market, interest rates and interest rate policy, competitive factors, and other conditions which by their nature, are not susceptible to accurate forecast, and are subject to significant uncertainty. Because of these uncertainties and the assumptions on which this discussion and the forward-looking statements are based, actual future operations and results may differ materially from those indicated herein. Readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. The Company’s past results are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

 

Non-GAAP Presentations

 

This management’s discussion and analysis refers to the efficiency ratio, which is computed by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income. This is a non-GAAP financial measure which we believe provides investors with important information regarding our operational efficiency. Comparison of our efficiency ratio with those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may calculate the efficiency ratio differently. The Company, in referring to its net income, is referring to income under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or “GAAP”.

 

General

 

The following presents management’s discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Virginia Commerce Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of the dates and for the periods indicated. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto, and other financial data appearing elsewhere in this report. The Company is the parent bank holding company for Virginia Commerce Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia state-chartered bank that commenced operations in May 1988. The Bank pursues a traditional community banking strategy, offering a full range of business and consumer banking services through twenty-seven branch offices, one residential mortgage office and one investment services office.

 

Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, Virginia Commerce serves the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., including Arlington, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William, Spotsylvania and Stafford Counties and the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Fredericksburg, Manassas and Manassas Park. Its service area also covers, to a lesser extent, Washington, D.C. and the nearby Maryland counties of Montgomery and Prince Georges. The Bank’s customer base includes small-to-medium sized businesses including firms that have contracts with the U.S. government, associations, retailers and industrial businesses, professionals and their firms, business executives, investors and consumers.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, there were no changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies as reflected in the last report.

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).  The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred.  A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability.  We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio.  Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use.  In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. 

 

16



 

Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.

 

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that are inherent in our loan portfolio.  The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and (ii) SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, 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.

 

Our allowance for loan losses has two basic components:  the specific allowance and the unallocated allowance.  Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur.  The specific allowance is used to individually allocate an allowance for impaired loans. Impairment testing includes consideration of the borrower’s overall financial condition, resources and payment record, support available from financial guarantors and the fair market value of collateral.  These factors are combined to estimate the probability and severity of inherent losses based on the Company’s calculation of the loss embedded in the individual loan. Large groups of smaller balance, homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Impaired loans which meet the criteria for substandard, doubtful and loss are segregated from performing loans within the portfolio.  Internally classified loans are then grouped by loan type (commercial, commercial real estate, commercial construction, residential real estate, residential construction or installment). The unallocated formula is used to estimate the loss of non-classified loans. These un-criticized loans are also segregated by loan type and allowance factors are assigned by management based on delinquencies, loss history, trends in volume and terms of loans, effects of changes in lending policy, the experience and depth of management, national and local economic trends, concentrations of credit, quality of the loan review system and the effect of external factors (i.e. competition and regulatory requirements). The factors assigned differ by loan type.  The unallocated allowance recognizes potential losses whose impact on the portfolio has yet to be recognized by a specific allowance. Allowance factors and the overall size of the allowance may change from period to period based on management’s assessment of the above described factors and the relative weights given to each factor. Further information regarding the allowance for loan losses is provided under the caption: Allowance for Loan Losses/Provision for Loan Loss Expense , later in this report.

 

The Company’s 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), which is shareholder-approved, permits the grant of share options to its directors and officers for up to 2.3 million shares of common stock. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, generally vest based on 5 years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that currently uses historical volatility of the Company’s stock based on a 7.2 year expected term, before exercise, for the options granted, and a risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Treasury curve in effect at the time of the grant to estimate total stock-based compensation expense. This amount is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, currently 5 years, to salaries and benefits expense. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Stock Option Plan and related expense.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a net operating loss of $5.2 million. After an effective dividend of $1.2 million to the U.S. Treasury on preferred stock, the Company reported a net loss to common stockholders of $6.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted common share, compared to earnings of $4.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company reported a net loss to common stockholders of $9.6 million compared to earnings of $9.1 million for the same period in 2008. Earnings for both the three and six- month periods were significantly impacted by loan loss provisions of $18.4 million and $31.8 million, respectively, due to the year-over-year increase in the level of non-performing assets and $29.3 million in net charge-offs in 2009.

 

On a pre-tax, pre-provision basis, operating income of $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, was down $874 thousand as compared to $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. However, the current quarter results include a special, one-time FDIC insurance assessment of $1.2 million. On a sequential basis, pre-tax, pre-provision operating income was up $809 thousand, despite the special assessment.

 

Since December 31, 2008, net loans are down $55.1 million, or 2.4%, with non-farm non-residential loans up $30.9 million, construction loans down $78.8 million, and one-to-four family residential loans for portfolio up $12.4

million. In addition, one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale totaled $64.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, and $125.9 million year-to-date, compared to $22.5 million and $44.2 million for the same periods in 2008.

 

Year-to-date loan production has been negatively impacted by declining economic activity and demand in both the business and consumer sectors, a reallocation of personnel resources to problem loan identification and resolution and a strategic decision to moderate land acquisition, development and construction loan growth in the face of an uncertain economy and heightened risk factors.  Going forward, lending efforts will be focused on building greater market share in commercial and industrial lending, especially in sectors forecast for growth, such as government contract lending and select service industries through strategic hiring, marketing campaigns and calling efforts.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, total deposits were up $19.3 million and included an increase in demand deposits of $44.9 million, or 23.0%, from $194.8 million at December 31, 2008, to $239.7 million at June 30, 2009, an increase in savings and interest-bearing demand deposits of $241.8 million, or 46.7%, and a decrease in time deposits of $267.3 million, from $1.46 billion at December 31, 2008, to $1.19 billion. The majority of the Bank’s deposits are attracted from individuals and businesses in the Northern Virginia and the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. The declines in time deposits are reflective of lower loan volume and a strategy to reduce the Bank’s historically heavy reliance on certificates of deposit as a funding source with deposit gathering efforts increasingly focused on demand deposits as well as cross-selling activities tied to the acquisition of savings and interest-bearing demand accounts. The proportionate share of time deposits relative to total deposits has declined from 67.2% at year-end 2008 to 54.4% as of June 30, 2009, and is expected to be in the 45-50% range by the end of this year.

 

Repurchase agreements, the majority of which represent funds of significant commercial demand deposit customers, and Fed funds purchased decreased $22.2 million, or 11.8%, from $188.0 million at December 31, 2008, to $165.7 million at June 30, 2009, with $12 million of the decline in Federal funds purchased. There were no Federal funds purchased as of June 30, 2009.

 

As noted, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a net income operating loss of $7.6 million as compared to earnings of 9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as net interest income increased $2.6 million, or 6.4%, non-interest income increased $409 thousand, or 12.2%, non-interest expense rose $4.6 million, or 21.0%, and provisions for loan losses were up $24.0 million. The Company’s annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were a negative 0.56% and 6.11% for the current six month period compared to a positive 0.73% and 10.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a net operating loss of $5.2 million compared to earnings of $4.9 million for the same period in 2008 as net interest income rose $1.3 million, or 6.2%, non-interest income increased $220 thousand, or 12.7%, non-interest expense increased $2.4 million, or 21.2%, and provisions for loan losses were up $14.8 million. The return on average assets and return on average equity were a negative 0.77% and 8.36% for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a positive 0.76% and 11.18% for the same period in 2008.

 

Stockholders’ equity decreased $10.3 million, or 4.1%, from $253.3 million at December 31, 2008, to $243.0 million at June 30, 2009, with a net loss to common stockholders of $9.6 million and a decline in other comprehensive income related to the investment securities portfolio, net of tax.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income is the excess of interest earned on loans and investments over the interest paid on deposits and borrowings, and is the Company’s primary revenue source. Net interest income is thereby affected by balance sheet growth, changes in interest rates and changes in the mix of investments, loans, deposits and borrowings. Net interest income increased $2.6 million, or 6.4%, from $40.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, to $42.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, and increased $1.3 million, or 6.2%, from $20.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, to $22.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Increases for both periods were due to overall balance sheet growth as the net interest margin declined from 3.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, to 3.25% for the current six-month period while the margin increased from 3.30% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, to 3.35% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Year-over-year, yields on loans are down 106 basis points due to reductions in the prime rate and increases in the level of non-performing loans, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities are down 96 basis points due to the changes noted above in the funding

mix. With market rates expected to remain mostly unchanged through the remainder of 2009, Management anticipates the margin to average from 3.30% to 3.40%.

 

The following tables show the average balance sheets for each of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.  In addition, the amounts of interest earned on interest-earning assets, with related yields on a tax-equivalent basis, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, with related rates, are shown.  Loans placed on a non-accrual status are included in the average balances. Net loan fees and late charges included in interest income on loans totaled $892 thousand and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, respectively, and totaled $1.7 million and $2.7 million for the six month periods.

Allowance for Loan Losses / Provision for Loan Loss Expense

 

The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s estimate of the amount required to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses reflective of the risks in the loan portfolio. Provisions for loan losses were $18.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $3.7 million in the same period in 2008, due to an increase in non-performing assets and loans 90+ days past due from $43.9 million at June 30, 2008, to $139.6 million at June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, provisions totaled $31.8 million compared to $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, with 2009 year-to-date net charge-offs of $29.3 million compared to $3.9 million in the first half of 2008.

 

The higher levels of provisions and net-charge-offs are attributable to Management’s focus on aggressive problem loan resolution, as total non-performing assets and loans 90+ days past due declined by $22.5 million during the quarter from $162.1 million, or 5.84% of total assets, to $139.6 million, or 5.17% of total assets. Non-accrual loans decreased by $19.7 million, loans 90+ days past due decreased by $18.6 million and other real estate owned (foreclosed properties) increased by $15.7 million. In addition to the quarterly decline in non-accruals and loans 90+ days past due, loans past due 30 to 89 days were reduced significantly from $55.7 million at March 31, 2009, to $19.2 million. See “Risk Elements and Non-performing Assets” for additional discussion relating to non-performing assets and impaired loans.

 

Management feels that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at June 30, 2009. However, there can be no assurance that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in the future, including as a result of possible changes in the economic assumptions underlying management’s estimates and judgments, adverse developments in the economy, on a national basis or in the Company’s market area, or changes in the circumstances of particular borrowers.

 

The Company generates a quarterly analysis of the allowance for loan losses, with the objective of quantifying portfolio risk into a dollar figure of inherent losses, thereby translating the subjective risk value into an objective number.  Emphasis is placed on semi-annual independent external loan reviews and monthly internal reviews.  The determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on applying and summing the results of eight qualitative factors and one quantitative factor to each category of loans along with any specific allowance for impaired and adversely classified loans within the particular category. Each factor is assigned a percentage weight and that total weight is applied to each loan category. The resulting sum from each loan category is then combined to arrive at a total allowance for all categories. Factors are different for each loan category. Qualitative factors include: levels and trends in delinquencies and non-accruals, trends in volumes and terms of loans, effects of any changes in lending policies, the experience, ability and depth of management, national and local economic trends and conditions, concentrations of credit, quality of the Company’s loan review system, and regulatory requirements. The total allowance required thus changes as the percentage weight assigned to each factor is increased or decreased due to its particular circumstance, as the various types and categories of loans change as a percentage of total loans and as specific allowances are required on impaired loans.

Risk Elements and Non-performing Assets

 

Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans and other real estate owned (foreclosed properties).  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the total non-performing assets and loans 90+ days past due and still accruing interest increased by $14.7 million, or 11.8%, from $124.9 million at December 31, 2008, to $139.6 million at June 30, 2009. As a result, the ratio of non-performing assets and loans 90+ days past due and still accruing to total assets increased from 4.60% at December 31, 2008, to 5.17% at June 30, 2009. In addition, other impaired loans, which include loans well-secured and currently performing, but in some instances requiring higher reserve levels and troubled debt restructurings, performing in accordance with their modified terms, increased from $49.3 million  at December 31, 2008, to $98.2 million at June 30, 2009.

 

Loans are placed in non-accrual status when in the opinion of management the collection of additional interest is unlikely or a specific loan meets the criteria for non-accrual status established by regulatory authorities.  No interest is taken into income on non-accrual loans.  A loan remains on non-accrual status until the loan is current as to both principal and interest or the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay and remain current, or both Foreclosed real properties include properties that have been substantively repossessed or acquired in complete or partial satisfaction of debt. Such properties, which are held for resale, are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, including a reduction for the estimated selling expenses, or principal balance of the related loan. Troubled debt restructurings continue to be tested for impairment for a period of one year from their modification date.

 

Non-performing loans continue to be concentrated in residential and commercial construction and land development loans in outer sub-markets hardest hit by the residential downturn and commercial and consumer credits experiencing the after shocks in sub-contracting businesses and workforce employment. Additions to non-performing loans in the second quarter included $3.3 million in one-to-four family residential loans and $7.7 million in non-owner occupied, non-farm, non-residential loans which were predominantly located in outer sub-markets and negatively impacted by higher vacancy and delinquent rents. Additionally, a $2.4 million commercial and industrial loan impacted by fraud and embezzlement was added. Overall, as of June 30, 2009, $74.6 million, or 70.3%, of non-performing loans represented acquisition, development and construction loans, $14.9 million, or 14.1%, represented

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Bank does a general banking business, serving the commercial and personal banking needs of its customers. The Bank’s market area consists of the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., including Arlington Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William, Spotsylvania and Stafford Counties, the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Fredericksburg, Manassas and Manassas Park, and to some extent the Maryland suburbs and the city of Washington D.C.  Substantially all of the Company’s loans are made within its market area.

 

The ultimate collectibility of the Bank’s loan portfolio and the ability to realize the value of any underlying collateral, if needed, are influenced by the economic conditions of the market area. The Company’s operating results are therefore closely related to the economic conditions and trends in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area.

 

At June 30, 2009, the Company had $1.62 billion, or 71.8%, of total loans concentrated in commercial real estate. Commercial real estate for purposes of this discussion includes all construction loans, loans secured by multi-family residential properties and loans secured by non-farm, non-residential properties. At December 31, 2008, commercial real estate loans were $1.66 billion, or 72.0%, of total loans. Total construction loans of $506.3 million at June 30, 2009, represented 22.4% of total loans, loans secured by multi-family residential properties of $69.6 million represented 3.1% of total loans, and loans secured by non-farm, non-residential properties of $1.04 billion represented 46.1%.

 

Construction loans at June 30, 2009, included $259.4 million in loans to commercial builders of single family residential property and $23.0 million to individuals on single family residential property, representing 11.5% and 1.0% of total loans, respectively, and together representing 12.5% of total loans. These loans are made to a number of unrelated entities and generally have a term of twelve to eighteen months.  In addition, the Company had $223.9 million of construction loans on non-residential commercial property at June 30, 2009, representing 9.9% of total loans. These total construction loans of $506.3 million include $176.4 million in land acquisition and or development loans on residential property and $100.8 million in land acquisition and or development loans on commercial property, together totaling $277.3 million, or 12.3% of total loans. Further adverse developments in the Northern Virginia real estate market or economy, including substantial increases in mortgage interest rates, slower housing sales, and increased commercial property vacancy rates, could have further adverse impacts on these groups of loans and the Bank’s income and financial position. At June 30, 2009, the Company had no other concentrations of loans in any one industry exceeding 10% of its total loan portfolio.  An industry for this purpose is defined as a group of counterparties that are engaged in similar activities and have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions.

 

The Bank has established formal policies relating to the credit and collateral requirements in loan originations including policies that establish limits on various loan types as a percentage of total loans and total capital.  Loans to purchase real property are generally collateralized by the related property with limitations based on the property’s appraised value. Credit approval is primarily a function of collateral and the evaluation of the creditworthiness of the individual borrower, guarantors and or the individual project.

 

25



 

The federal banking regulators have issued guidance for those institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in commercial real estate lending.  Pursuant to the supervisory criteria contained in the guidance for identifying institutions with a potential commercial real estate concentration risk, institutions which have (1) total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land which represent in total 100% or more of an institutions total risk-based capital; or (2) total commercial real estate loans representing 300% or more of the institutions total risk-based capital and the institution’s commercial real estate loan portfolio has increased 50% or more during the prior 36 months are identified as having potential commercial real estate concentration risk. Institutions which are deemed to have concentrations in commercial real estate lending are expected to employ heightened levels of risk management with respect to their commercial real estate portfolios, and may be required to hold higher levels of capital.  The Company, like many community banks, has a concentration in commercial real estate loans.  Management has extensive experience in commercial real estate lending, and has implemented and continues to maintain heightened portfolio monitoring and reporting, and strong underwriting criteria with respect to its commercial real estate portfolio.  The Company is well capitalized.  Nevertheless, it is possible that the Company could be required to maintain higher levels of capital as a result of our commercial real estate concentrations, which could require us to obtain additional capital, and may adversely affect shareholder returns.

 

Non-Interest Income

 

Non-interest income increased $409 thousand, or 12.2%, from $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, to $3.8 million for the same period ended June 30, 2009, and increased $220 thousand, or 12.7%, from $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, to $1.9 million in the current period. Higher levels of fees and net gains on mortgage loans originated-for-sale account for the majority of the increase in non-interest income year-over-year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, non-interest expense increased $4.6 million, or 21.0%, compared to the same period in 2008, and increased $2.4 million, or 21.2%, from $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, to $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The majority of the year-over-year increases were due to significantly higher FDIC insurance premiums, including a special one-time assessment of $1.2 million in the second quarter, as well as higher legal and professional services expenses associated with the collection of non-performing loans and OREO. As a result of these increases in expenses, the efficiency ratio rose from 49.9% in the second quarter of 2008 to 56.7% in the current period.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company’s income tax provisions are adjusted for non-deductible expenses and non-taxable interest after applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35%.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $4.3 million as compared to a provision of $4.7 million for the same period in 2008, and the Company recorded a benefit of $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to a provision of $2.7 million in 2008. The effects of non-deductible expenses and non-taxable income on the Company’s income tax provisions are minimal.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity and funding are its deposit base. The level of deposits necessary to support the Company’s lending and investment activities is determined through monitoring loan demand. Considerations in managing the Company’s liquidity position include, but are not limited to, scheduled cash flows from existing loans and investment securities, anticipated deposit activity including the maturity of time deposits, and projected needs from anticipated extensions of credit. The Company’s liquidity position is monitored daily by management to maintain a level of liquidity conducive to efficiently meet current needs and is evaluated for both current and longer term needs as part of the asset/liability management process.

 

The Company measures total liquidity through cash and cash equivalents, securities available-for-sale, mortgage loans held-for-sale, other loans and investment securities maturing within one year, less securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements, public deposits and other purposes, and less any outstanding federal funds purchased.  These liquidity sources decreased $26.1 million, or 4.3%, from $637.7 million at December 31, 2008, to $611.6 million at June 30, 2009, due mostly to a decline in the level of loans maturing within one year.

 

26



 

Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include the capacity to borrow funds through established short-term lines of credit with various correspondent banks, and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Available funds from these liquidity sources were approximately $452.6 million and $458.9 million at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. The Bank’s available line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, which requires the pledging of collateral in the form of certain loans and or securities, is $415.6 million of which $80.1 million was available as of June 30, 2009, based on presently pledged collateral.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company enters into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These off-balance sheet arrangements include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees which would impact the Company’s liquidity and capital resources to the extent customer’s accept and or use these commitments. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.  With the exception of these off-balance sheet arrangements, and the Company’s obligations in connection with its trust preferred capital notes, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources, that is material to investors.

 

Commitments to extend credit, which amounted to $477.7 million at June 30, 2009, and $500.7 million at December 31, 2008, represent legally binding agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company guaranteeing the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. At June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the Company had $57.6 million and $68.1 million, respectively, in outstanding performance standby letters of credit.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Since December 31, 2008, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s contractual obligations.

 

Capital

 

The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, changing competitive conditions and economic forces, and the overall level of growth. The adequacy of the Company’s current and future capital is monitored by management on an ongoing basis. 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.

 

Both the Company’s and the Bank’s capital levels continue to meet regulatory requirements.  The primary indicators relied on by bank regulators in measuring the capital position are the Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and leverage ratios.  Tier 1 capital consists of common and qualifying preferred stockholders’ equity, less goodwill, and for the Company includes certain minority interests relating to bank subsidiary issued shares, and a limited amount of restricted core capital elements.  Restricted core capital elements include qualifying cumulative preferred stock interests, certain minority interests in subsidiaries and qualifying trust preferred securities. All of the $71 million in preferred stock interests issued to the Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program qualify as Tier 1 capital. Total risk-based capital consists of Tier 1 capital, qualifying subordinated debt, and a portion of the allowance for loan losses, and for the Company, a limited amount of excess restricted core capital elements.  Risk-based capital ratios are calculated with reference to risk-weighted assets.  The leverage ratio compares Tier 1 capital to total average assets.  The Bank’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.68% at June 30, 2009, compared to 13.16% at December 31, 2008, and its total risk-based capital ratio was 13.93% at June 30, 2009, compared to 14.41% at December 31, 2008. These ratios are in excess of the mandated minimum requirement of 4.00% and 8.00%, respectively. The Bank’s leverage ratio was 11.35% at June 30, 2009, compared to 11.81% at December 31, 2008. The Company’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, total risk-based capital ratio, and leverage ratio was 12.72%, 13.97%, and 11.39%, respectively, at June 30, 2009, compared to 13.07%, 14.44%, and 11.76% at December 31,

 

27



 

2008. The decrease in these capital ratios in 2009, are due to net operating losses and dividends paid on preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury.

 

The ability of the Company to continue to grow is dependent on its earnings and the ability to obtain additional funds for contribution to the Bank’s capital, through borrowing, the sale of additional common stock, or through the issuance of additional trust preferred securities or other qualifying securities. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain additional capital for the Bank on a timely basis, the growth of the Company and the Bank may be curtailed, and the Company and the Bank may be required to reduce their level of assets in order to maintain compliance with regulatory capital requirements. Under those circumstances net income and the rate of growth of net income may be adversely affected.

 

Guidance by the federal banking regulators provides that banks which have concentrations in construction, land development or commercial real estate loans (other than loans for majority owner occupied properties) would be expected to maintain higher levels of risk management and, potentially, higher levels of capital. It is possible that we may be required to maintain higher levels of capital than we would otherwise be expected to maintain as a result of our levels of construction, development and commercial real estate loans, which may require us to obtain additional capital.

 

The Federal Reserve has revised the capital treatment of trust preferred securities. As a result, the capital treatment of trust preferred securities has been revised to provide that beginning in 2011, such securities can be counted as Tier 1 capital at the holding company level, together with other restricted core capital elements, up to 25% of total capital (net of goodwill), and any excess as Tier 2 capital, subject to limitation.  At June 30, 2009, trust preferred securities represented 20.6% of the Company’s Tier 1 capital and 18.8% of its total risk-based capital. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding trust preferred securities.

 

Capital Issuances.  As noted above, during 2008, the Company accepted an investment by Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program. In connection with that investment, the Company entered into and consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Treasury, pursuant to which the Company issued 71,000 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (“Series A Preferred Stock”), having a liquidation amount per share equal to $1,000, for a total purchase price of $71 million. The Series A Preferred Stock pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years and thereafter at a rate of 9% per year.  Subject to consultation with the Company’s and Bank’s federal regulators, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at the liquidation amount plus accrued and unpaid dividends.  The Series A Preferred Stock is non-voting, except in limited circumstances.  Prior to the third anniversary of issuance, unless the Company has redeemed all of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Treasury has transferred all of the Series A Preferred Stock to a third party, the consent of the Treasury will be required for the Company to increase its common stock dividend or repurchase its common stock or other equity or capital securities, other than in connection with benefit plans consistent with past practice and certain other circumstances specified in the Purchase Agreement.

 

In connection with the purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Treasury was issued a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 2,696,203 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $3.95 per share.  The Warrant provides for the adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares of the common stock issuable upon exercise pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions, such as upon stock splits or distributions of securities or other assets to holders of the common stock, and upon certain issuances of the common stock (or securities exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, common stock) at or below 90% of the market price of the common stock on the trading day prior to the date of the agreement on pricing such securities.  The Warrants expire ten years from the date of issuance.  The number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Warrant will be reduced by one-half if, on or prior to December 31, 2009, the Company receives aggregate gross cash proceeds of not less than $71 million from “qualified equity offerings” announced after October 13, 2008.  If the Company redeems the Series A Preferred Stock in full prior to exercise of the Warrant, the Warrant will be liquidated based upon the then current fair market value of the common stock.  The Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of common stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to market risk, or interest rate risk, as its net income is largely dependent on its net interest income. Market risk is managed by the Company’s Asset/Liability Management Committee that formulates and monitors the performance of the Company based on established levels of market risk as dictated by policy. In setting tolerance levels, or limits on market risk, the Committee considers the impact on earnings and capital, the level and general direction of interest rates, liquidity, local economic conditions and other factors. Interest rate risk, or interest sensitivity, can be defined as the amount of forecasted net interest income that may be gained or lost due to favorable or unfavorable movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk, or sensitivity, arises when the maturity or repricing of interest-earning assets differs from the maturing or repricing of interest-bearing liabilities and as a result of the difference between total interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company seeks to manage interest rate sensitivity while enhancing net interest income by periodically adjusting this asset/liability position.

 

One of the tools used by the Company to assess interest sensitivity on a monthly basis is the static gap analysis that measures the cumulative differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities maturing or repricing within various time periods. It is the Company’s goal to limit the one-year cumulative difference, or gap, in an attempt to limit changes in future net interest income from changes in market interest rates. The following table shows a static gap analysis reflecting the earlier of the maturity or repricing dates for various assets, including prepayment and amortization estimates, and liabilities as of June 30, 2009. At that point in time, the Company had a cumulative net liability sensitive one-year gap position of $335.9 million, or a negative 12.83% of total interest-earning assets.

 

This position would generally indicate that over a period of one-year net interest earnings should decrease in a rising interest rate environment as more liabilities would reprice than assets and should increase in a falling interest rate environment. However, this measurement of interest rate risk sensitivity represents a static position as of a single day and is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s position at any other point in time, does not take into account the differences in sensitivity of yields and costs of specific assets and liabilities to changes in market rates, and it does not take into account the specific timing of when changes to a specific asset or liability will occur. More accurate measures of interest sensitivity are provided to the Company using earnings simulation models.

In order to more closely measure interest sensitivity, the Company uses earnings simulation models on a quarterly basis. These models utilize the Company’s financial data and various management assumptions as to balance sheet growth and mix, interest rates, operating expenses and other non-interest income sources to forecast a base level of earnings over a one-year period. This base level of earnings is then shocked assuming a 200 basis points higher and lower level of interest rates (but not below zero) over the forecasted period. The most recent earnings simulation model was run based on data as of June 30, 2009, and the model projected that forecasted net interest income over a one-year period would decrease by 4.7% if interest rates were to be 200 basis points higher than expected, and forecasted net interest income would increase by 0.9% if interest rates were to be 100 basis points lower than expected. As noted above, normally these earnings models are shocked downward 200 basis points; however, as the Federal funds target rate dropped to a range of 0% to 0.25%, the prime lending rate to 3.25%, and treasury yields to historically low levels, a downward shock in rates of that magnitude was not deemed practical, or likely to occur. Management believes the modeled results are consistent with the short duration of its balance sheet and given the many variables that effect the actual timing of when assets and liabilities will reprice, including interest rate floors. Since the earnings model uses numerous assumptions regarding the effect of changes in interest rates on the timing and extent of repricing characteristics, future cash flows and customer behavior, the model cannot precisely estimate net income and the effect on net income from sudden changes in interest rates. Actual results will differ from simulated results noted above due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
