Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Board of Directors

Commonwealth Bankshares, Inc.

Norfolk, Virginia

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Commonwealth Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Commonwealth Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Commonwealth Bankshares, Inc.

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2004 and 2003

 

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accounting and reporting policies of Commonwealth Bankshares, Inc. (the “Parent”) and its subsidiaries, Commonwealth Bankshares Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), and Bank of the Commonwealth (the “Bank”) and its subsidiaries, BOC Title of Hampton Roads, Inc., BOC Insurance Agencies of Hampton Roads, Inc. and Community Home Mortgage of Virginia, Inc., are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to accepted practices within the banking industry. A summary of significant accounting policies is briefly described below.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent, the Trust and the Bank and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “the Company”. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) requires that the Company no longer consolidate Commonwealth Bankshares Capital Trust I. The junior subordinated debt of the Trust is reflected as a liability of the Company.

 

Nature of Operations

 

The Bank operates under a state bank charter and provides full banking services, including trust services. As a state bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Virginia State Corporation Commission-Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve System. The Bank serves Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Portsmouth, Virginia through its nine banking offices.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits in banks and federal funds sold. Interest bearing deposits with maturities extending beyond 90 days are not considered cash equivalents for cash flow reporting purposes. The Company had no such deposits at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

Restrictions on Cash and Due from Bank Accounts

 

The Company is required to maintain average reserve balances in cash with the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). Required reserves were $307,000 and $110,000 for December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Investment Securities

 

Investment securities which the Company intends to hold until maturity or until called are classified as held to maturity. These investment securities are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

 

Investment securities which the Company intends to hold for indefinite periods of time, including investment securities used as part of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy, are classified as available for sale. These investment securities are carried at fair value. Net unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, are excluded from earnings and reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are determined using the specific identification method.

 

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. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

 

Equity Securities, Restricted

 

The Company, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Atlanta, is required to hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB in an amount equal to at least 0.20% of the members total assets plus 4.50% of the members outstanding advances.

 

As a member of the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”), the Company is required to hold shares of FRB capital stock, $100 par value, in an amount equal to 6% of the Company’s total common stock and capital surplus.

 

FRB stock and FHLB stock are carried at cost.

 

6


Loans Held for Sale

 

Loans held for sale consist primarily of mortgage loans in the process of being sold to third-party investors. The loans are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value as determined by aggregate outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements.

 

Loans

 

The Company offers an array of lending and credit services to customers including mortgage, commercial and consumer loans. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balance net of any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, or unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Discounts and premiums are amortized to income using the interest method. Loan origination fees, net of origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the yield (interest income) of the related loans.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

A loan is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral.

 

The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is periodically evaluated by the Company, in order to maintain the allowance at a level that is sufficient to absorb probable credit losses. The allowance is comprised of a general allowance, specific allowance for identified problem loans and an unallocated allowance representing estimations done pursuant to either Standard of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies,” or SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.” The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of the loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. Such qualitative factors management considers are the known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, including adverse circumstances that may affect the ability of the borrower to repay interest and/or principal, the estimated value of collateral, and an analysis of the levels and trends of delinquencies, charge-offs, level concentrations within the portfolio, and the risk ratings of the various loan categories. Such factors as the level and trend of interest rates and the condition of the national and local economies are also considered. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

 

The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Increases and decreases in the allowance due to changes in the measurement of impaired loans, if applicable, are included in the provision for loan losses. Loans continue to be classified as impaired unless they are brought fully current and the collection of scheduled interest and principal is considered probable.

 

When a loan or portion of a loan is determined to be uncollectible, the portion deemed uncollectible is charged against the allowance. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

 

Income Recognition on Impaired and Nonaccrual Loans

 

Loans, including impaired loans, are generally classified as nonaccrual if they are past due as to maturity or payment of principal or interest for a period of more than 120 days, unless such loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. If a loan or a portion of a loan is adversely classified, or is partially charged off, the loan is generally classified as non-accrual. Loans that are on a current payment status or past due less than 90 days may also be classified as non-accrual, if repayment in full of principal and/or interest is in doubt.

 

Loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due (including arrearages) are reasonably assured of repayment within an acceptable period of time, and there is a sustained period of repayment performance by the borrower, in accordance with the contractual terms of interest and principal.

 

While a loan is classified as nonaccrual and the future collectibility of the recorded loan balance is doubtful, collections of interest and principal are generally applied as a reduction to principal outstanding. When the future collectibility of the recorded loan balance is expected, interest income may be recognized on a cash basis. In the case where a non-accrual loan has been partially charged off, recognition of interest on a cash basis is limited to that which would have been recognized on the recorded loan balance at the contractual interest rate. Cash interest receipts in excess of that amount are recorded as recoveries to the allowance for loan losses until prior charge-offs have been fully recovered.

Premises and Equipment

 

Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed generally by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Depreciation for tax purposes is computed based on accelerated methods. It is the Company’s policy for maintenance and repairs to be charged to expense as incurred and to capitalize major additions and improvements and depreciate the cost thereof over the estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Buildings and improvements

  

5 to 40 years

Furniture and equipment

  

3 to 10 years

 

Upon sale or retirement of depreciable properties, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are netted against proceeds and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.

 

Other Real Estate Owned

 

Other real estate owned is stated at the lower of cost or estimated fair market value of the property, less estimated disposal costs, if any. Cost includes loan principal and accrued interest. Any excess of cost over the estimated fair market value at the time of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. The estimated fair market value is reviewed periodically by management and any write-downs are charged against current earnings. Development and improvement costs relating to property are capitalized. Net operating income or expenses of such properties are included in other expenses.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company practices the policy of charging advertising costs to expense as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $498,377 and $187,408 for the two years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws on rates are enacted, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

 

Stock Compensation Plans

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages all entities to adopt a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options issued under the Company’s stock option plan have no intrinsic value at the grant date, and under Opinion No. 25 no compensation cost is recognized for them. The Company has elected to continue with the accounting methodology in Opinion No. 25. The fair value based method of accounting did not have a material effect on the Company’s net income and earnings per share.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits in banks, loans held for sale, accrued interest receivable, demand deposits, savings deposits, and short-term borrowings approximates fair value. The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices. The remainder of the recorded financial instruments were valued based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at various rates in effect for similar instruments at year-end.

 

Fair values for off-balance sheet lending commitments approximate the contract or notional value taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standings.

Per Share Data

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common and potential dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding, determined as follows:

 

     2004

   2003

Earnings available to common shareholders

   $ 3,101,209    $ 2,542,491

Weighted average shares outstanding

     2,181,915      1,771,556

Segment Information

 

The Company has determined that it has one significant operating segment, the providing of general commercial financial services to customers located in the single geographic area of Hampton Roads, Virginia, and surrounding communities.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) within the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets include a non-compete agreement obtained through the acquisition of Community Home Mortgage of Virginia, Inc. The non-compete is included in other assets and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit, which is 1 year. Non-compete, net of amortization amounted to $29,167 at December 31, 2004.

Goodwill

 

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Additionally, it further clarifies the criteria for the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets separate from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 prescribes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 discontinue the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Instead, these assets will be subject to at least an annual impairment review, and more frequently if certain impairment indicators are evident.

 

Goodwill is included in other assets and totaled $249,480 at December 31, 2004. The goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. Based on the testing, there were no impairment charges in 2004.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payments (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). The new pronouncement replaces the existing requirements under SFAS No. 123 and Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB Opinion No. 25”). According to SFAS No. 123(R), all forms of share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options and employee stock purchase plans, would be treated the same as any other form of compensation by recognizing the related cost in the statement of operations. This pronouncement eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25 and generally would require that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value based method. For public companies, the FASB has determined that SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for awards and stock options granted, modified or settled in cash in interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123(R) provides transition alternatives for public companies to restate prior interim periods or prior years. The Company expects to adopt the new standards as of its effective date. The impact to compensation expense is not expected to be material, however, the final impact to compensation expense will be dependent on the number of equity instruments granted during any year, including their timing and vesting period, and the method used to calculate the fair value of the awards, among other factors.

 

In July 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) published its consensus on Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments. EITF Issue. No 03-1 addresses the meaning of other than temporary impairment and its application to debt and equity securities within the scope of SFAS No. 115, certain debt and equity securities within the scope of SFAS No. 124, and equity securities that are not subject to the scope of SFAS No. 115 and accounted for under the equity method. In September 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF Issue No. 03-1-1, which delays the effective date for the recognition and measurement guidance in the EITF Issue No. 30-1. In addition, the FASB issued a proposed FSP to consider whether further application guidance is necessary for securities analyzed for impairment under EITF Issue No. 03-1. The Company continues to assess the potential impact that the adoption of the proposed FSP could have on its financial statements.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets – an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. This Statement amended APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard, but believes that it will not have a material impact upon the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46”). This Interpretation provides guidance with respect to the identification of variable interest entities when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and results of operations of a variable interest entity need to be included in a Company’s consolidated financial statements. An entity is deemed a variable interest entity, subject to the interpretation, if the equity investment is at risk and is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or in cases in which the equity investors lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, which include the ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights, the obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur, or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. Due to significant implementation issues, the FASB modified the wording of FIN 46 and issued FIN 46R in December of 2003. FIN 46R deferred the effective date for the provisions of FIN 46 to entities other than Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”) until financial statements issued for periods ending after March 15, 2004. SPEs were subject to the provisions of either FIN 46 or FIN 46R as of December 15, 2003. Management has evaluated the Company’s investments in variable interest entities and potential variable interest entities or transactions, particularly in trust preferred securities structures because these entities or transactions constituted the Company’s primary FIN 46 and FIN 46R exposure. The adoption of FIN 46 and FIN 46R did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This Statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

10


In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement provides new rules on the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. Such financial instruments include mandatorily redeemable shares, instruments that require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets, or obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary value of which is fixed. This Statement had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income.

 

Note 2. Acquisition

 

On July 13, 2004, the Company acquired Community Home Mortgage of Virginia, Inc. Community Home Mortgage of Virginia, Inc. is a mortgage brokerage firm that originates, processes and sells residential mortgages on a servicing released basis throughout Virginia and Maryland. Under the terms of the acquisition, the outstanding shares of Community Home Mortgage of Virginia, Inc.’s common stock were purchased for 11,820 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, Community Home Mortgage of Virginia, Inc. has entered into a one year non-compete agreement with both of its executive officers totaling $50,000.

 

The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations are included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition. The entire amount of goodwill, $249,480, resulting from this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

The acquisition of Community Home Mortgage of Virginia, Inc. is not considered to be a significant business combination for the Company. Therefore, no proforma effects of the acquisition are presented.

 

Note 3. Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

At December 31, 2004, the Company’s cash and due from banks included one commercial bank deposit account aggregating $5,885,798 in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured limit of $100,000 per institution.

Note 9. Long-Term Debt

 

Long-term debt at December 31, 2004 consist of: advances from the FHLB, which are collateralized by a blanket lien on the Company’s 1-4 family residential mortgages and commercial mortgage loans, and pledged securities; borrowings in the form of an industrial development revenue bond from the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority to finance the Headquarters of the Company and the Bank; and secured loans with third party financial institutions.

 

Advances from the FHLB at December 31, 2004 consist of $5,000,000 at a fixed interest rate of 4.02% which matures in December 2009. Outstanding borrowings on the industrial development revenue bond at December 31, 2004 were $400,384, which represents the Bank’s 54.4% ownership interest in the Headquarters property. Those borrowings are due in annual installments at amounts equal to 3.0% of the then outstanding principle balance, which matures in seven years. The interest on this bond is payable monthly and the rate is equal to 68.6% of the prime rate of SunTrust Bank in Richmond, VA. Secured loans with third party financial institutions consist of two automobile loans assumed through the acquisition of Community Home Mortgage of Virginia, Inc. The outstanding balances as of December 31, 2004 were $26,436 and $14,835, respectively. The interest rates on these loans were fixed at 1.059% and 7.5% and mature in four years and three years, respectively.

Note 12. Employee Benefit Plans

 

The Company maintains a defined contribution 401(k) profit sharing plan (the “Plan”). The Plan allows for a maximum voluntary salary deferral up to the statutory limitations. All full-time employees who have attained the age of twenty and-a-half and have completed six calendar months of employment with the Company are eligible to participate on the first day of the Plan year after meeting the eligibility requirements. The Plan provides for a matching contribution, which is determined by the Company each year. The Company may also make an additional discretionary contribution. For matching and discretionary employer contributions, an employee is 0% vested from zero to three years of service, 20% after three years, 40% after four years, 60% after five years, 80% after six years, and fully vested after seven years. The amounts charged to expense under this Plan were $101,008 and $75,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Note 14. Related Parties Transactions

 

During the year, officers, directors, principal stockholders, and their affiliates (related parties) were customers of and had transactions with the Company in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, these transactions were made on substantially the same terms as those prevailing for other customers for comparable transactions and did not involve more than normal risks. Loan activity to related parties is as follows:

 

     2004

    2003

 

Beginning of year

   $ 5,941,501     $ 6,509,989  

Additional borrowings

     4,090,988       1,930,683

End of year

   $ 8,283,012     $ 5,941,501  
    


 


 

Deposits from related parties held by the Company at December 31, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $8,288,644 and $6,522,605, respectively.

 

Note 15. Dividend Limitations

 

Dividends may be paid to the Parent by the Bank under formulas established by the appropriate regulatory authorities. The amount of dividends the Bank may pay to the Parent, without prior approval, is limited to current year earnings plus earnings retained for the two preceding years. At December 31, 2004, the amount available was approximately $6.8 million.

 

Note 16. Regulatory Matters

 

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

 

16


Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 Capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). For the Company, Tier 1 Capital consists of shareholders’ equity and qualifying trust preferred securities, excluding any net unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale, goodwill and intangible assets. For the Bank, Tier 1 Capital consists of shareholders’ equity excluding any net unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale, goodwill and intangible assets. For both the Company and the Bank, total capital consists of Tier 1 Capital and the allowance for loan losses. Risk-weighted assets for the Company and the Bank were $312,232 thousand and $311,608 thousand, respectively, at December 31, 2004 and $268,025 thousand and $267,371 thousand, respectively, at December 31, 2003. Management believes, as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

 

As of December 31, 2004, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 are also presented in the table.

Note 17. Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

 

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values.

 

17


Equity Securities

 

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Investment Securities

 

Fair values are based on published market prices or dealer quotes. Available-for-sale securities are carried at their aggregate fair value.

 

Loans Held for Sale and Loans, Net

 

For loans receivable with short-term and/or variable characteristics, the total receivables outstanding approximate fair value. The fair value of other loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the build up approach to discount rate construction. Components of the discount rate include a risk free rate, credit quality component, and a service charge component.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable

 

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Deposits

 

The fair value of noninterest bearing deposits and deposits with no defined maturity, by SFAS No. 107 definition, is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the build up approach to discount rate construction. Components of the discount rate include a risk free rate, credit quality component, and a service charge component.

 

Short-term Borrowings

 

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values.

 

Long-term Debt

 

The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

 

The estimated fair value and the carrying value of the Company’s recorded financial instruments are as follows:

Note 18. Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan

 

In April 1999 and February 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plans”). Under these Plans, shares purchased from the Company with reinvested dividends are issued at a five percent (5.0%) discount from market value. The Plans also permit participants to make optional cash payments of up to $20,000 per quarter for the purchase of additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares are issued at market value without incurring brokerage commissions.

Note 20. Related Party Leases

 

In 1984, the Bank entered into a lease with Boush Bank Building Associates, a limited partnership owned by several stockholders of the Company (the Partnership), to rent the Headquarters Building. The lease requires the Bank to pay all taxes, maintenance and insurance. The term of the lease is twenty-three years and eleven months. In connection with this property, the lessor has secured financing in the form of a $1,600,000 industrial development revenue bond from the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority payable in annual installments, commencing on January 1, 1987, at amounts equal to 3.0% of the then outstanding principal balance through the twenty-fifth year, when the unpaid balance will become due. Interest on this bond is payable monthly, at 68.6% of the prime rate of SunTrust Bank in Richmond, Virginia. Monthly rent paid by the Bank is equal to interest on the above bond, plus any interest associated with secondary financing provided the lessor by the Bank.

 

The Bank has the right to purchase, at its option, an undivided interest in the property at undepreciated original cost, and is obligated to purchase in each January after December 31, 1986 an undivided interest in an amount equal to 90.0% of the legal amount allowed by banking regulations for investments in fixed properties. Under this provision the Bank purchased 19.7% of this property for $362,200 in 1987. At the time of the 1987 purchase the Bank assumed $305,700 of the above-mentioned bond. Pursuant to the purchase option contained in the lease agreement, the Bank recorded an additional interest of $637,400 (34.7%) in the leased property as of December 31, 1988 by assuming a corresponding portion ($521,900) of the unpaid balance of the related revenue bond and applying the difference of $115,500 to amounts due from the lessor. Accordingly the Bank now owns 54.4%, of the Headquarters property. No purchases have been made after 1988. Total lease expense was $69,187 and $66,100 for the years 2004 and 2003.

 

In addition, the Bank subleases approximately 4,000 square feet of third floor office space to outside parties. Total sublease rental income was $61,954 and $60,614 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

The Bank has also entered into a long-term lease with a related party to provide space for one branch located in Chesapeake, Virginia. This lease has been classified as an operating lease for financial reporting purposes. Future minimum lease payments of $107,016 are required each year for five years under the long-term non-cancelable lease agreement as of October 20, 1998, which expires in October 2007. Total lease expense was $110,912 and $106,642 for the years 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Note 22. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

 

Unless otherwise noted, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

 

Commitments to extend credit are 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. The Company’s experience has been that approximately 90% of loan commitments are drawn upon by customers. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

 

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
