UWHARRIE CAPITAL CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Description of Business

Uwharrie Capital Corp (the “Company”) is a North Carolina bank holding company. The Company was organized on July 1, 1993 to become the bank holding company for the Bank of Stanly (“Stanly”), a North Carolina commercial bank chartered on September 28, 1983, and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Strategic Alliance Corporation, BOS Agency, Inc., and Gateway Mortgage, Inc., a mortgage origination company. The Company also owns three non-bank subsidiaries, Strategic Investment Advisors, Inc., Uwharrie Mortgage, Inc. and Uwharrie Statutory Trust 1.

Stanly engages in retail and commercial banking, with five banking offices in Stanly County. Stanly provides a wide range of banking services including deposit accounts, commercial, consumer, home equity and residential mortgage loans, safe deposit boxes, and electronic banking services.

On January 19, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of Anson BanCorp, Inc. and its subsidiary, Anson Savings Bank. The savings bank retained its North Carolina savings bank charter and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Uwharrie Capital Corp as Anson Bank & Trust Co. (“Anson”) and provides financial services to customers through one banking office in Anson County.

On April 10, 2003, the Company capitalized a new wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Cabarrus Bank & Trust Company (“Cabarrus”), located in Concord, North Carolina. As of that date, Cabarrus purchased two branch offices located in Cabarrus County from Stanly to begin its operation. Cabarrus operates as a commercial bank and provides a full range of banking services.

The Company and its subsidiaries are located in Stanly County, Anson County and Cabarrus County. However, the Company intends to prudently expand its service area to include the entire Uwharrie Lakes Region of North Carolina.

Depository services offered by the subsidiary banks include personal and commercial checking, savings, money market, certificates of deposit accounts and individual retirement accounts, all tailored to meet customers’ needs. The banks provide fixed and variable rate loans, which include mortgage, home equity, lines of credit, consumer and commercial loans. The banks also offer Internet Banking and 24-Hour Telephone Banking, providing customers the convenience of access to account information, rate information and accessibility of funds transfers between accounts. Other services include MasterCard® credit cards and a Visa® Check Card which functions as a point-of-sale (POS) and automated teller machine (ATM) card. Customers can use the Check Card for purchases at virtually any merchant accepting Visa® and ATMs displaying the STAR® or CIRRUS® networks regionally and worldwide, respectively.

Strategic Investment Advisors Inc. provides portfolio management services to its customers. The Strategic Alliance Corporation (Strategic Alliance®) is a registered broker-dealer with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”). BOS Agency provides insurance products and is licensed in the state of North Carolina. Through Strategic Investment Group, a DBA for a partnership with UVEST Financial Services, Inc., securities and insurance products are offered including fixed annuities, long-term care, and life products. Group insurance products are offered through an arrangement with Benchmark Life Strategies as well as Medicare supplement products.

Market for the Company’s Common Stock and Related Security Holder Matters

It is the philosophy of Uwharrie Capital Corp to promote a strong, base of local shareholders. While bid and asked prices for the Company’s common stock are quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol UWHR, trading is sporadic with the most trades taking place in privately negotiated transactions. Management makes every reasonable effort to match willing buyers with willing sellers as they become known for the purpose of private negotiations for the purchase and sale of the Company’s common stock. The Company has an independent valuation of its common stock performed on a quarterly basis and makes this valuation available to interested shareholders in order to promote fairness and market efficiency in privately negotiated transactions.

The Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy on an annual basis. For 2007, Uwharrie Capital Corp declared a 3% stock dividend. The Board of Directors will determine on an annual basis, consistent with the capital needs of the Company an appropriate dividend. In addition, Uwharrie Capital Corp has adopted a stock repurchase program whereby the Company may make open market purchase of shares of its stock. The combination of private trades as well as the holding company purchases provides liquidity for the investors of Uwharrie Capital Corp.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

Uwharrie Capital Corp

Albemarle, North Carolina

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Uwharrie Capital Corp and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 Uwharrie Capital Corp and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Nature of Business

Uwharrie Capital Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated under North Carolina law for the purpose of becoming the holding company for Bank of Stanly (“Stanly”). On July 1, 1993, Stanly became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company through a one-for-one exchange of the common stock of Stanly for common stock of the Company.

Stanly was incorporated on September 28, 1983, under the laws of the State of North Carolina and began operations on January 26, 1984 in Albemarle, North Carolina. Deposits with Stanly are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Stanly is under regulation of both the FDIC and the North Carolina State Banking Commission. Through its five branch locations in Stanly County, Stanly provides a wide range of deposit accounts, commercial, consumer, home equity and residential mortgage loans, safe deposit boxes and automated banking.

In 1987, Stanly established a wholly-owned subsidiary, BOS Agency, Inc. (“BOS Agency”), which engages in insurance product sales. In 1989, Stanly established a second wholly-owned subsidiary, BOS Financial Corporation, for the purpose of conducting business as a broker/dealer in securities. During 1993, BOS Financial Corporation changed its name to The Strategic Alliance Corporation (“Strategic Alliance”) and was registered as a broker/dealer by the National Association of Securities Dealers.

The Company formed a new subsidiary, Strategic Investment Advisors, Inc. (“SIA”), during 1999 to provide investment advisory and asset management services. This subsidiary is registered as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On January 19, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of Anson BanCorp, Inc. and its subsidiary, Anson Savings Bank. The savings bank retained its North Carolina savings bank charter and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Uwharrie Capital Corp as Anson Bank & Trust Company (“Anson”), operating out of its main office branch in Wadesboro.

On August 4, 2000, Stanly acquired another subsidiary, Gateway Mortgage, Inc. (“Gateway”), a mortgage origination company.

On April 10, 2003, the Company capitalized a new wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Cabarrus Bank & Trust Company (“Cabarrus”), located in Concord, North Carolina. As of that date, Cabarrus purchased two branch offices located in Cabarrus County from Stanly to begin its operation. Cabarrus operates as a commercial bank and provides a full range of banking services.

On April 7, 2004 Uwharrie Mortgage, Inc. was established as a subsidiary of the Company to serve in the capacity of trustee and substitute trustee under deeds of trust.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Stanly, Anson, Cabarrus, SIA and their subsidiaries, BOS Agency, Strategic Alliance and Gateway. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet captions “Cash and due from banks,” “Interest-earning deposits with banks,” and “Federal funds sold”.

Investment Securities Held To Maturity

Investment securities classified as held to maturity are debt securities the Company has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity regardless of changes in market conditions, liquidity needs or changes in general economic conditions. These securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, computed by the interest method over their contractual lives. Declines in the fair value of individual held to maturity securities below their cost that are other than temporary would result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. Such write-downs would be included in earnings as realized losses. The Company had no securities held to maturity at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Investment securities available for sale consist of bonds and notes not classified as trading securities nor as held to maturity securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale securities are reported as a net amount in other comprehensive income, net of income taxes. Gains and losses on the sale of available for sale securities are determined using the specific identification method. Declines in the fair value of individual available for sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary would result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. Such write-downs would be included in earnings as realized losses. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Loans

The Company grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. The ability of the Company’s borrowers to honor their contracts is largely dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in the Company’s market area. Loans that management has the

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.

The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Credit card loans and other personal loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. In addition, regulatory examiners may require the Company to recognize adjustments to the allowance for loan loss based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their assessment.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, 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. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer, residential and other loans for impairment disclosures.

Servicing Rights

The Company capitalizes servicing rights when loans are either securitized or sold and the loan servicing is retained. The cost of servicing rights is amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of net servicing revenues. The amortization of servicing rights is recognized in the statement of income as an offset to other noninterest income. Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Real estate properties acquired through foreclosure or other proceedings are initially recorded at fair value upon foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are performed and the foreclosed property is adjusted to the lower of cost or fair value of the properties, less costs to sell. Any write-down at the time of transfer to foreclosed properties is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent write-downs are charged to other expenses. Property is evaluated regularly to ensure that the recorded amount is supported by its current fair value.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Land is carried at cost. Additions and major replacements or betterments which extend the useful lives of premises and equipment are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, except in the case of leasehold improvements, which are amortized over the term of the leases, if shorter. Useful lives range from five to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment, to ten to thirty-nine years for leasehold improvements and buildings, respectively. Upon retirement or other disposition of the assets, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in income.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

As a requirement for membership, the banks invest in the stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”). This investment is carried at cost. Due to the redemption provisions of the FHLB, the Company estimated that fair value approximates cost and that this investment was not impaired.

Goodwill

Goodwill resulted from the 2000 acquisition of Anson BanCorp, Inc. and its subsidiary, Anson Savings Bank. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (revised 2004, “Share-Based Payment”, (“SFAS No. 123R”)) which was issued by the FASB in December 2004. SFAS No. 123R revises SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB No. 25) and its related interpretations. SFAS No. 123R requires recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements over the period the employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively the vesting period). SFAS No. 123R also requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. SFAS No. 123R also amends SFAS No. 95 “Statement of Cash Flows”, to require that excess tax benefits be reported as financing cash inflows, rather than as a reduction of taxes paid, which is included within operating cash flows.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective application as permitted under SFAS No. 123R. Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated. Under this application, the Company is required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company used the intrinsic value method as prescribed by APB No. 25 and thus recognized no compensation expense for options granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.

During 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“SOP”) and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“SPP”), under which options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock may be granted to officers and eligible employees. Options granted under the SOP are exercisable in established increments according to vesting schedules, generally three to five years, and will expire if not exercised within ten years of the date of grant. Options granted under the SPP are fully vested at the date of grant and expire, if not exercised, within two years of the grant date. Both of these plans expired in 2006. At December 31, 2007, the SOP had 504,207 options still outstanding and the SPP had no options outstanding.

During 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“SOP II”) and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“SPP II”), under which options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock may be granted to officers and eligible employees. Options granted under the SOP II are exercisable in established increments according to vesting schedules, generally three to five years, and will expire if not exercised within ten years of the date of grant. Options granted under the SPP II are fully vested at the date of grant and expire, if not exercised, within two years of the grant date. At December 31, 2007 there were no options outstanding under the SOP II or the SPP II. The compensation cost charged against income for the Company’s options, plans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, and 2006 was $49 thousand and $57 thousand, respectively.

The fair market value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There were no shares granted during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. There were 15,450 shares granted during 2006 under the SOP II. The fair value at the grant date was $1.55 using the following assumptions; a risk-free interest rate of 4.5%, a dividend yield of 0%, an expected life equal to 70% of the term of the option, and volatility of 14%. These shares were forfeited in 2007. All options granted in 2005 were forfeited in 2006.

The grant date fair value of stock options vested over the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $42 thousand, $64 thousand and $101 thousand, respectively.

As of December 31, 2007, there was $31 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under all of the Company’s stock benefit plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.47 years.

The Company funds the option shares from authorized but unissued shares. The Company does not typically purchase shares to fulfill the obligations of the stock benefit plans. Company policy does allow option holders to exercise options with seasoned shares.

Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax return and separate North Carolina income tax returns. The provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements is provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. 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. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying market value or liquidation value of the Company.

 

19


UWHARRIE CAPITAL CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

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

Carrying amounts approximate fair values for cash and due from banks; interest-bearing deposits with banks; federal funds sold; interest receivable and payable; variable rate loans that reprice frequently where no significant change in credit risk has occurred; bank owned life insurance; Federal Home Loan Bank stock; variable rate money market, demand, interest checking and savings accounts; variable rate time deposits; federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements and short-term borrowed funds.

Quoted market prices, where available, or if not available, quoted market prices of comparable instruments are used for investment securities.

Discounted cash flows using interest rates currently being offered on instruments with similar terms and with similar credit quality are used for long-term debt; all loans (except variable rate loans described above) and fixed rate time deposits.

Comprehensive Income

The Company reports as comprehensive income all changes in shareholders’ equity during the year from sources other than shareholders. Other comprehensive income refers to all components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) of comprehensive income that are excluded from net income. The Company’s only component of other comprehensive income is unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax, on investment securities available for sale.

Earnings per Common Share

The Company issued 3% stock dividends in 2007, 2006 and 2005. All references in these consolidated financial statements to earnings per common share and weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding have been adjusted for the effect of these stock dividends. In 2006, there were 15,450 stock options outstanding that were anti-dilutive since the exercise price exceeded the average market price. There were no anti-dilutive stock options outstanding during 2007 or 2005.

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements and requires the impact of a tax position to be recognized in the financial statements if that position is more likely than not of being sustained by the taxing authority. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations and unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were immaterial. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to income tax assessments, if any, in income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations and interest and penalties recognized in 2007, 2006, and 2005 were immaterial. Fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2003 are subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

SFAS 156

The provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.156 (“SFAS 156”), Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 10, were effective beginning January 1, 2007. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 156 had no effect on financial position or results of operations.

SFAS 157

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 159

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of this standard is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted under certain circumstances. The Company has chosen not to adopt the provision of SFAS 159 on an early basis. The Company has evaluated this statement and does not believe it will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

EITF 06-4

The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus at its September 2006 meeting regarding EITF 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. The scope of EITF 06-4 is limited to the recognition of a liability and related compensation costs for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods. Therefore, this EITF would not apply to a split-dollar life insurance arrangement that provides a specified benefit to an employee that is limited to the employee’s active service period with an employer. This EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, with earlier application permitted. The Company adopted EITF 06-4 on January 1, 2008 and it had the effect of reducing beginning consolidated undivided profits by approximately $273,000.

From time to time, the FASB issues exposure drafts of proposed statements of financial accounting standards. Such exposure drafts are subject to comment from the public, to revisions by the FASB and to final issuance by the FASB as statements of financial accounting standards. Management considers the effect of the proposed statements on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and monitors the status of changes to and proposed effective dates of exposure drafts.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the 2006 and 2005 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and fair value of investments, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at December 31, 2007 and 2006. These unrealized losses on investment securities are a result of temporary fluctuations in the market prices due to a rise in interest rates, which will adjust if rates decline, and are in no way a reflection of the quality of the investments. At December 31, 2007 the unrealized losses related to three U.S. Treasuries, one corporate bond, fifteen mortgage backed securities and CMOs, and four state and political subdivisions securities. All unrealized losses on investment securities are considered by management to be temporary given the credit ratings on these investment securities and management’s intent and ability to hold these investments until maturity.

Although the subsidiary banks’ loan portfolios are diversified, there is a concentration of mortgage real estate loans, primarily one to four family residential mortgage loans, which represent 42.20% of total loans. Additionally, there is concentration in commercial loans secured primarily by real estate, to finance manufacturing buildings, shopping center locations, commercial land development, commercial buildings and equipment that comprise 26.90% of total loans. There is not a concentration of a particular type of credit in this group of commercial loans.

Impaired loans, which consisted of nonaccrual loans and other loans identified by management as impaired, totaled $7.5 million and $6.8 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The nonaccrual status of these loans had the effect of reducing net income by $6,077 in 2007 and $72,800 in 2006. Of the $7.5 million in impaired loans at December 31, 2007, $5.3 million carried an allowance of $1.3 million while $2.2 million were evaluated and required no specific allowance. Of the $6.8 million in impaired loans at December 31, 2006, $4.8 million carried an allowance of $1.6 million while $2.0 million required no specific allowance. The allowance for impaired loans amounted to $1.3 million at December 31, 2007 and $1.6 million at December 31, 2006. Loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest were $0 and $499,982 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Restructured loans, excluding those included in impaired loans, amounted to $168,489 at December 31, 2007.

Federal funds purchased represent unsecured overnight borrowings from other financial institutions. Securities sold under repurchase agreements represent short-term borrowings collateralized by securities of the United States government or its agencies. Master notes represent an overnight investment in commercial paper issued by the Company to customers of it’s subsidiary banks, where an agreement is in place.

The subsidiary banks have combined available lines of credit for federal funds in the amount of $14.3 million at December 31, 2007.

Note 10 - Long-Term Debt

The Company has a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank secured by qualifying first lien and second mortgage loans and commercial real estate loans with eligible collateral value of $79.6 million at December 31, 2007. The long-term advances under this line amounted to $15.0 million and $14.0 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Interest rates ranged from 2.96% to 7.52% in both 2007 and 2006. Two subsidiary banks also have standby letters of credit issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank to be used as collateral for public funds deposits. The amount of the letters of credit was $14.0 million at December 31, 2007.

On April 30, 2001, the Company borrowed $4.0 million from a bank at an interest rate of prime less one percent. The note is payable in annual installments of $400 thousand. The balance outstanding at December 31, 2006 was $2.0 million. This loan was paid off on September 25, 2007.

On September 25, 2007, the Company borrowed $6.6 million from a bank at an interest rate of prime less one percent. This is a two year note that is payable at maturity, with interest payable quarterly.

On September 26, 2002, the Company issued $5.2 million of junior subordinated debentures to Uwharrie Statutory Trust I in exchange for the proceeds of the trust preferred securities issued

Note 10 - Long-Term Debt (Continued)

 

by the Trust. The junior subordinated debentures were included in long-term debt and the Company’s equity interest in the Trust was included in other assets. The junior subordinated debentures paid interest quarterly at an annual rate, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 3.40%. The Company fully and unconditionally guaranteed the trust preferred securities through the combined operation of the junior subordinated debentures and other related documents. The Company’s obligation under the guarantee was unsecured and subordinate to senior and subordinated indebtedness of the Company.

The trust preferred securities presently qualify as Tier 1 regulatory capital and are reported in Federal Reserve regulatory reports as a minority interest in a consolidated subsidiary. The junior subordinated debentures do not qualify as Tier 1 regulatory capital. On March 1, 2005, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve adopted a final rule that allows the continued limited inclusion of trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital. The final rule limits trust preferred securities to 25 percent of all core capital elements, net of goodwill. Amounts of restricted core capital elements in excess of these limits generally may be included in Tier 2 capital. The final rule provides a five-year transition period, ending March 31, 2009, for application of the quantitative limits.

On September 26, 2007, the Company redeemed the $5.2 million in junior subordinated debentures. After the redemption, the Company still remained well capitalized under the regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies.

On November 19, 2002, the Company executed a mortgage in the amount of $129,000 for the purchase of property for branch expansion. This loan bears interest at 6.00% and is to be paid in 60 quarterly installments of $3,277. The outstanding principal balance on this note was $98,000 at December 31, 2007.

As of December 31, 2007, the scheduled maturities of these advances and notes payable are as follows:

Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The subsidiary banks are parties to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, lines of credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized in the accompanying financial statements.

The subsidiary banks’ risks of loss with the unfunded loans and lines of credit or standby letters of credit are represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The banks use the same credit policies in making commitments under such instruments as they do for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, real estate and time deposits with financial institutions. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Credit card commitments are unsecured. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, outstanding financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk were as follows:

 

     2007    2006
     (dollars in thousands)

Commitments to extend credit

   $ 79,162    $ 73,450

Credit card commitments

     9,017      7,672

Standby letters of credit

     1,641      616
             
   $ 89,820    $ 81,738
             

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments with Concentration of Credit Risk

The bank subsidiaries make commercial, agricultural, real estate mortgage, home equity and consumer loans primarily in Stanly, Anson and Cabarrus counties. A substantial portion of the Company’s customers’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the economy in these counties.

Although the Company’s composition of loans is diversified, there is some concentration of mortgage loans in the total portfolio. The Bank Policy is to abide by real estate loan-to-value margin limits corresponding to guidelines issued by the federal supervisory agencies on March 19, 1993. Lending policy for all loans requires that they be supported by sufficient cash flows. Credit losses related to this real estate concentration are consistent with credit losses experienced in the portfolio as a whole.

Note 13 - Related Party Transactions

The Company has granted loans to certain directors and executive officers and their related interests. Such loans are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other borrowers and,

in management’s opinion, do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility. All loans to directors and executive officers or their interests are submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. A summary of loans to directors, executive officers and their related interests follows:

Note 14 - Regulatory Matters

The Company, and its bank subsidiaries, are subject to certain requirements imposed by state and federal banking statutes and regulations. These requirements, among other things, establish minimum levels of capital, restrict the amount of dividends that may be distributed, and require that reserves on deposit liabilities be maintained in the form of vault cash or noninterest-bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank.

The Company and its subsidiary banks are subject to federal regulatory risk-based capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies. Each must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measure of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices which measure Total and Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 Capital to average assets. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy and the Company’s consolidated capital ratios are set forth in the table below. The Company expects to meet or exceed these minimums without altering current operations or strategy.

As of December 31, 2007, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized all subsidiary banks as being well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There have been no conditions or events since such notification that management believes would have changed the categorizations.

For the reserve maintenance period in effect at December 31, 2007, the subsidiary banks were required to maintain reserve balances in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank in the aggregate amount of $3.7 million as reserves on deposit liabilities.

Note 15 - Stock Matters

Employee Stock Plans

During 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“SOP”) and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“SPP”), under which options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock may be granted to officers and eligible employees. Options granted under the SOP are exercisable in established increments according to vesting schedules, generally three to five years, and will expire if not exercised within ten years of the date of grant. Options granted under the SPP are fully vested at the date of grant and expire if not exercised within two years of the grant date. Both of these plans expired in 2006. At December 31, 2007, the SOP had 504,207 shares still outstanding and the SPP had no options outstanding.

During 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“SOP II”) and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“SPP II”), under which options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock may be granted to officers and eligible employees. Options granted under the SOP are exercisable in established increments according to vesting schedules,

Stock Repurchase Program

On February 21, 1995, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and approved a Stock Repurchase Program, to be reaffirmed annually, pursuant to which the Company may repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock for the primary purpose of providing liquidity to its shareholders. Pursuant to stock repurchase authorizations and limitations, the Company purchased 237,669 shares during 2007 and 23,864 shares during 2006 at an aggregate purchase price of $1,403,749 and $145,093, respectively.

Note 16 - Employee and Director Benefit Plans

Employees’ Savings Plus and Profit Sharing Plan

The Company has established an associate tax deferred savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. All associates who are scheduled to work 500 hours or more are eligible to participate upon completion of six months of employment.

The Company’s annual contribution to the plan was $192,776 in 2007, $169,982 in 2006 and $143,210 in 2005, determined as follows:

 

   

A matching contribution equivalent to 50% of the first 6% of each associate’s compensation contributed to the plan.

Note 16 - Employee and Director Benefit Plans (Continued)

 

   

A discretionary contribution, subject to approval by the Board of Directors, limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount deductible for income tax purposes.

Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan

On March 1, 1994, the Company established a Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina under which each Director could elect to defer receipt for services rendered to the Company as a Director during the term of his or her service by entering into a written deferred compensation election. This plan was closed to new participants in 2001; subsequently, only two directors continue to defer receipt of fees. The balance in deferred directors’ compensation, not yet disbursed, was $195,938 and $212,382 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Expense for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $12,956, $12,283 and $13,931, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) to benefit all qualified employees. The ESOP purchased 284,676 dividend adjusted shares of common stock in 1999 with proceeds received from a loan of $1.2 million from the Company. The loan is to be repaid over eighteen years with interest at 8%. The loan may be prepaid without penalty. The unallocated shares of stock held by the ESOP are pledged as collateral for the loan. The ESOP is funded by contributions made by the Company and its subsidiaries in amounts sufficient to retire the debt. At December 31, 2007, the outstanding balance of the loan is $799,866 and is presented as a reduction of shareholders’ equity.

Shares released as the debt is repaid and earnings from the common stock held by the ESOP are allocated among active participants on the basis of compensation in the year of allocation. Benefits vest 100% as they are allocated to participants. Dividends on unallocated shares may be used by the ESOP to repay the loan to the Company and are not reported as dividends in the financial statements. Dividends on allocated or committed to be allocated shares are credited to the accounts of the participants and reported as dividends in the consolidated financial statements.

Expenses of $317,256, $237,022 and $251,437 during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, have been incurred in connection with the ESOP. At December 31, 2007, 201,740 shares held by the ESOP, including additional shares purchased, have been released or committed to be released to the ESOP’s participants for purposes of computing earnings per share. The fair value of the unallocated shares amounted to approximately $783 thousand at December 31, 2007.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

The Company has implemented a non-qualifying deferred compensation plan for certain executive officers. The Company has purchased life insurance policies in order to provide future funding of benefit payments. Certain of the plan benefits will accrue and vest during the period of employment, and will be paid in fixed monthly benefit payments from ten to fifteen years commencing with the officer’s retirement at any time after attainment of the age specified in the

 

35


UWHARRIE CAPITAL CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

Note 16 - Employee and Director Benefit Plans (Continued)

 

officer’s plan agreement. Other benefits will accrue based upon the performance of the underlying life insurance policies both during employment and after retirement. Such benefits will continue to accrue and be paid throughout the participant’s life assuming satisfactory performance of the funding life insurance policy. The plan also provides for payment of death benefits and for payment of disability benefits in the event the officer becomes permanently disabled prior to attainment of retirement age.

Effective July 1, 2007, this plan was amended and restated for all but one of the plan participants to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The participants’ account liability balances as of December 31, 2007 will be transferred into a trust fund, where investments will be participant-directed. The plan is structured as a defined contribution plan and the Company’s expected annual funding contribution for the participant has been calculated through the participant’s expected retirement date. Under terms of the agreement, the Company has reserved the absolute right, at its sole discretion, to either fund or refrain from funding the plan. The plan also provides for payment of death benefits and for payment of disability benefits in the event the officer becomes permanently disabled prior to attainment of retirement age.

During 2007, 2006 and 2005 a provision of $199,328, $23,446 and $137,688, respectively, was expensed for future benefits to be provided under the plan. The liability accrued for compensation deferred under the plan amounts to $731,010, and $531,682 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Split-Dollar Life Insurance

The Company has entered into Life Insurance Endorsement Method Split Dollar Agreements with certain officers. Under these agreements, upon death of the officer, the Company first recovers the cash surrender value of the contract and then shares the remaining death benefits from insurance contracts, which are written with different carriers, with the designated beneficiaries of the officers. The death benefit to the officers’ beneficiaries is a multiple of base salary at the time of the agreements. The Company, as owner of the policies, retains an interest in the life insurance proceeds and a 100% interest in the cash surrender value of the policies.

At December 31, 2007, the subsidiary banks had outstanding standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit. These off-balance sheet financial instruments are generally exercisable at the market rate prevailing at the date the underlying transaction will be completed; therefore, they were deemed to have no current fair value. See Note 12.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) in the course of its normal operations. As a result, 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 interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment and less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.

These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, loan demand, real estate values, and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting the Company’s operations, pricing, products and services.

Financial Condition at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006

The Company’s total assets increased $28.6 million or 7.5% from $383.3 million at December 31, 2006 to $411.9 million at December 31, 2007. This increase resulted primarily from a $33.9 million increase in loans held for investment and a $13.8 million increase in securities available for sale. These increases were offset by a decrease of $18.6 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Loans held for investment increased $33.9 million, from $288.1 million at December 31, 2006 to $322.0 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of 11.8%. The growth was largely due to the 12.9%, or $30.8 million, increase in our loans secured by real estate. Our commercial and consumer portfolios experienced growth as well. Loans held for sale decreased $898 thousand, or 23.54%, for the period. At December 31, 2007 the allowance for loan losses was $3.5 million which represents 1.09% of the loan held for investment portfolio.

Investment securities increased 37.3% during 2007, from $37.2 million at December 31, 2006 to $51.0 million at December 31, 2007. Throughout the year we invested in mortgage backed securities and US Government Agencies. Mortgage backed securities increased $15.4 million, or 119.2%, during the period. During the year the Company executed a transaction selling $4.0 million in US Government Agencies realizing a loss of $75 thousand and reinvested the proceeds to improve its yield. The Company also had an additional sale realizing a loss of $1 thousand.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $18.6 million during 2007. This decrease was generated by a $17.5 million, or 100%, decrease in federal funds sold. At December 31, 2006 the Company had made a decision to keep a portion of its investments in short-term federal funds. During 2007 this short-term investment was used to fund growth in both our investment and loan portfolios resulting in an improved yield. Cash and due from banks declined $1.3 million while interest earning deposits with banks grew $285 thousand.

Other changes in our consolidated assets related to premises and equipment, interest receivable, Federal Home Loan Bank stock and bank owned life insurance. Premises and equipment increased due to the opening of a new retail branch in 2007, while interest receivable grew $280 thousand or 15.8% impacted by both loan and investment growth. Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased $157 thousand. Federal Home Loan Bank stock ownership is a requirement for member banks that utilize Federal Home Loan Bank for borrowing funds. The amount of stock owned by each member bank is based primarily on the amount of borrowings outstanding. Bank owned life insurance also experienced growth of $185 thousand.

Customer deposits continued to be our principal funding source in 2007, allowing us to fund the growth in assets discussed above. At December 31, 2007, deposits from our customers totaled $324.7 million, an increase of $15.1 million, or 4.9%, from $309.6 million at December 31, 2006. Time deposits grew $17.3 million, or 13.1%, during the period, while interest checking and money market accounts increased $941 thousand, or 0.9%. Offsetting the growth in the aforementioned areas were declines in savings accounts of 5.9%, or $1.6 million and demand, noninterest bearing of $1.6 million. During the past year with the increasing interest rate environment our customers have been moving their interest earning deposits into higher yielding deposit accounts.

The aforementioned growth in the loan and investment portfolios required the Company to increase net borrowings by $11.3 million during 2007. Borrowings consist of both short-term and long-term borrowed funds. The Company utilizes both short-term and long-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. At December 31, 2007, $29.8 million of the total borrowings of $53.6 million were attributed to Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

The Company had long-term debt of $5.2 million of junior subordinated debentures to Uwharrie Statutory Trust I, issued in 2002, in exchange for the proceeds of the trust preferred securities issued by the Trust. The junior subordinated debentures were incurred in long-term debt and were redeemable on September 26, 2007 or afterwards. The annual interest rate was LIBOR plus 3.40%. During the third quarter, the Company made a decision to help improve its interest margin by refinancing the subordinated debt. The Company redeemed the debt during 2007, however market rates increased during the process and the replacement of the subordinated debt was placed on hold pending more favorable market conditions. The Company did replace the debt with other shorter term borrowings.

At December 31, 2007, total shareholders’ equity was $31.6 million, an increase of $2.0 million from December 31, 2006. Net income for the period was $2.9 million and the Company received $36 thousand from the exercise of stock options. Unrealized gains on investment securities, net of tax, increased $217 thousand. These increases were offset by the repurchase of 237,669 shares of the Company’s common stock at a cost of $1.4 million.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

Earnings

The Company earned net income of $2.9 million, or $0.40, per basic share for 2007 as compared with net income of $2.1 million, or $0.28 per basic share, in 2006.

Management’s Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition And Results of Operations

 

 

Net Interest Income

As with most financial institutions, the primary component of earnings for our banks, is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loan and investment securities portfolios, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits and borrowings. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, spread and margin. For this purpose, volume refers to the average dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, and margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Margin is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as by levels of noninterest bearing liabilities and capital.

Net interest income increased $1.4 million to $15.0 million for 2007 compared to the $13.6 million earned in 2006. During 2007 with the interest rates stabilizing the increase in net interest income resulted from growth in the loan and investment portfolio. The average yield on our interest-earning assets increased 24 basis points to 7.49%, while the average rate we paid for our interest-bearing liabilities increased 11 basis points. These increases resulted in an increase of 13 basis points in our interest rate spread, from 3.57% in 2006 to 3.70% in 2007. Our net interest margin for 2007 was 4.22%, compared to 4.10% in 2006. Financial Table 1 on page 52 presents a detailed analysis of the components of the Company’s net interest income while Financial Table 2 on page 53 summarizes the effects on net interest income from changes in interest rates and in the dollar volume of the components of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $15 thousand and $298 thousand for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively. There were net loan recoveries of $324 thousand for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 as compared with net loan charge-offs of $1.6 million during the same period of 2006. Refer to the Asset Quality discussion beginning on page 46 for further information.

Noninterest Income

The Company generates most of its revenue from net interest income; however, diversification of our earnings base is of major importance to our long term success. Noninterest income increased 20.5%, from $5.5 million in 2006 to $6.6 million in 2007, an increase of $1.1 million. Income generated from brokerage commissions and asset management fees increased $554 thousand to $1.9 million, while other banking fees increased $214 thousand or 21.8% during 2007. Service charges on deposit accounts grew $188 thousand to $2.2 million. The Company also benefited from an increase in income from mortgage loan sales of $193 thousand resulting from an increase in mortgage loan originations. During 2007, the Company sold investment securities realizing a loss of $76 thousand, while other income increased $108 thousand.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $1.4 million to $17.4 million in 2007 compared to $15.9 million in 2006. Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased $1.0 million, from $9.1 million in 2006 to $10.1 million in 2007. Additions at the executive and bank support staff levels together with normal salary increases, primarily account for this increase. Other noninterest expense increased $475 thousand for the year, including electronic

banking expense, a major component of this category, which increased by $102 thousand. Increased usage of electronic banking products is the reason for the increase. Professional fees and services, another component of this category, also increased $102 thousand. This increase was primarily due to compliance with Sarbanes Oxley. At the end of 2006, the remaining costs associated with a core system conversion were amortized off, resulting in a decrease in data processing costs of $197 thousand. In relation to the aforementioned discussion on the subordinated debt, the Company expensed $126 thousand in remaining unamortized issue costs during third quarter contributing to the increase in other noninterest expense.

Income Tax Expense

The Company had income tax expense of $1.3 million for 2007 at an effective tax rate of 30.3% compared to income tax expense of $833 thousand in 2006 at an effective tax rate of 28.7%. Income taxes computed at the statutory rate are reduced primarily by the eligible amount of interest earned on state and municipal securities and income earned on bank owned life insurance. The growth in taxable income out paced the growth in nontaxable income resulting in the increase in the effective tax rate.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

Earnings

The Company earned net income of $2.1 million, or $0.28 per basic share for 2006 as compared with net income of $1.5 million, or $0.20 per basic share, in 2005.

Net Interest Income

As with most financial institutions, the primary component of earnings for our banks, is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loan and investment securities portfolios, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits and borrowings. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, spread and margin. For this purpose, volume refers to the average dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, and margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Margin is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as by levels of noninterest bearing liabilities and capital.

Net interest income increased $1.1 million to $13.6 million for 2006 compared to the $12.5 million earned in 2005. During 2006 with the interest rates stabilizing the increase in net interest income resulted from growth in the loan and investment portfolio. The average yield on our interest-earning assets increased 87 basis points to 7.25%, while the average rate we paid for our interest-bearing liabilities increased 114 basis points. These increases resulted in a decrease of 27 basis points in our interest rate spread, from 3.84% in 2005 to 3.57% in 2006. Our net interest margin for 2006 was 4.10%, compared to 4.21% in 2005. Financial Table 1 on page 52 presents a detailed analysis of the components of the Company’s net interest income while Financial Table 2 on page 53 summarizes the effects on net interest income from changes in interest rates and in the dollar volume of the components of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $298 thousand and $755 thousand for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively. There were net loan charge-offs of $1.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 as compared with net loan charge-offs of $1.3 million during the same period of 2005. Refer to the Asset Quality discussion beginning on page 46 for further information.

Noninterest Income

The Company generates most of its revenue from net interest income; however, diversification of our earnings base is of major importance to our long term success. Noninterest income increased 25.7%, from $4.4 million in 2005 to $5.5 million in 2006, an increase of $1.1 million. Income generated from brokerage commissions and asset management fees increased $424 thousand to $1.3 million, while other banking fees increased $177 thousand or 21.9% during 2006. Service charges on deposit accounts grew $293 thousand to $2.0 million. During 2005, the Company implemented a new non-sufficient funds program. This new program along with the growth in demand deposit accounts resulted in a $348 thousand increase in NSF fees. The Company also benefited from an increase in income from mortgage loan sales of $210 thousand resulting in an increase in mortgage loan originations. During 2006, the Company sold investment securities realizing a gain of $60 thousand. These increases were offset by a decline in other income of $62 thousand.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $1.8 million to $15.9 million in 2006 compared to $14.1 million in 2005. Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased $1.1 million, from $8.0 million in 2005 to $9.1 million in 2006. Additions at the executive and bank support staff levels together with normal salary increases, primarily account for this increase. Data processing costs increased 11.4% or $96 thousand in 2006 with growth in loans and deposits. Other noninterest expense increased $560 thousand for the year, including electronic banking expense, a major component of this category, which increased by $276 thousand. Increased usage of electronic banking products is the reason for the increase. Marketing and donations another component of this category increased $235 thousand.

Income Tax Expense

The Company had income tax expense of $833 thousand for 2006 at an effective tax rate of 28.7% compared to income tax expense of $523 thousand in 2005 at an effective tax rate of 25.6%. Income taxes computed at the statutory rate are reduced primarily by the eligible amount of interest earned on state and municipal securities and income earned on bank owned life insurance. The growth in taxable income out paced the growth in nontaxable income resulting in the increase in the effective tax rate.

Asset Quality

The Company’s allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operations and by recoveries of amounts previously charged off, and reduced by loans charged off. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance at least quarterly. In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance, management considers the growth, composition and industry diversification of the portfolio, historical loan loss experience, current delinquency levels,

adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions and other relevant factors. The Company’s credit administration function, through a review process, validates the accuracy of the initial risk grade assessment. In addition, as a given loan’s credit quality improves or deteriorates, the credit administration department has the responsibility to change the borrower’s risk grade accordingly. For loans determined to be impaired, the allowance is based either on discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or on the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans, which may be susceptible to significant change. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require additions for estimated losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

Management uses the risk-grading program to facilitate the evaluation of probable inherent loan losses and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In this program, risk grades are initially assigned by loan officers and reviewed and monitored by credit administration. The Company strives to maintain its loan portfolio in accordance with conservative loan underwriting policies that result in loans specifically tailored to the needs of its market area. Every effort is made to identify and minimize the credit risks associated with such lending strategies. The Company has no foreign loans and does not engage in significant lease financing or highly leveraged transactions. The Company follows a loan review program designed to evaluate the credit risk in the loan portfolio. This process includes the maintenance of an internally classified watch list that helps management assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In establishing the appropriate classification for specific assets, management considers, among other factors, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the borrower’s ability to repay, the borrower’s payment history and the current delinquent status. As a result of this process, certain loans are categorized as substandard, doubtful or loss, and reserves are allocated based on management’s judgment and historical experience.

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of an amount adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio in the normal course of business. While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary and results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations. Furthermore, while management believes it has established the allowance for loan losses in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Company’s portfolio, will not require an adjustment to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that increases will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed herein. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The provision for loan losses declined from $298 thousand in 2006 to $15 thousand in 2007, a decrease of $283 thousand. This decline in the level of our provision in 2007 resulted primarily from recoveries totaling approximately $317 thousand on two loans charged off in prior years. Impaired loans, which include all loans in nonaccrual status and other loans deemed by management to be impaired, were $7.5 million at December 31, 2007 compared to $6.8 million at December 31, 2006 resulting in an increase of $701 thousand. Total nonaccrual, which are a

component, increased from $1.2 million at December 31, 2006 to $1.8 million at December 31, 2007. The level of specific reserves identified for impaired loans decreased by $370 thousand. The decline in the level of specific reserves for impaired loans resulted from the Company’s continued efforts in improving its collateral positions. The Company had net loan recoveries in 2007 of $324 thousand compared to net loan charge-offs of $1.6 million in 2006. Three loans which were impaired as of December 31, 2005 accounted for $1.4 million of the total $1.6 million in net charge-offs in 2006.

The allowance expressed as a percentage of gross loans held for investment decreased 1 basis point from 1.10% at December 31, 2006 to 1.09% at December 31, 2007. The allowance, as a percentage of total impaired loans, decreased from 51.2% at December 31, 2006 to 35.7% at December 31, 2007. Likewise, the portion of the allowance specifically allocable to impaired loans decreased from 24.0% at December 31, 2006 to 16.8% at December 31, 2007. Nonperforming loans, which consist solely of nonaccrual loans, were $1.8 million at December 31, 2007 as compared to $1.2 million at December 31, 2006. Nonperforming loans to total loans increased from 0.42% at December 31, 2006, to 0.56% at the end of 2007. The total allowance relative to non-performing loans decreased from 261.8% at the end of 2006 to 195.6% at this year end. Management believes the current level of allowance for loan losses to be adequate at this time.

The following nonperforming loan table shows the comparison for the past five years:

Capital Resources

The Company continues to maintain good capital ratios that support its asset growth. The capital position is maintained through the retention of earnings and controlled growth. Regulatory agencies divide capital into Tier I (consisting of shareholders’ equity less ineligible

intangible assets and accumulated other comprehensive income and allowable portions of trust preferred securities) and Tier II (consisting of the allowable portion of the reserve for loan losses and certain long-term debt) and measure capital adequacy by applying both capital levels to a banking company’s risk-adjusted assets and off-balance sheet items. In addition to these capital ratios, regulatory agencies have established a Tier I leverage ratio that measures Tier I capital to average assets less ineligible intangible assets.

Regulatory guidelines require a minimum of total capital to risk-adjusted assets ratio of 8% with one-half consisting of tangible common shareholders’ equity and a minimum Tier I leverage ratio of 4%. Banks which meet or exceed a Tier I ratio of 6%, a total capital ratio of 10% and a Tier I leverage ratio of 5% are considered well capitalized by regulatory standards. At December 31, 2007, the Company and its subsidiary banks were all well capitalized.

The Company expects to continue to exceed these minimums without altering current operations or strategy. The Company does however plan to do a private placement of subordinated debt during the first half of 2008 that will qualify as regulatory capital. Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements presents additional information regarding the Company’s and its subsidiary banks’ capital ratios.

Dividends

The Board of Directors of Uwharrie Capital Corp declared a 3% stock dividend in 2007, 2006, and in 2005. All references in this Annual Report to net income per share and weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding reflect the effects of these stock dividends.

Liquidity

Liquidity, the ability to raise cash when needed without adversely impacting profits, is managed primarily by the selection of asset mix and the maturity mix of liabilities. Maturities and the marketability of securities and other funding sources provide a source of liquidity to meet deposit fluctuations. Maturities in the securities portfolio, presented in Financial Table 4 on page 55, are supported by cash flows from mortgage-backed securities that have longer-term contractual maturities.

Other funding sources at year-end 2007 included $14.3 million in federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks and approximately $35.8 million of remaining credit availability from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Company may also borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window. Growth in deposits is typically the primary source of funding for loans, supported by long-term credit available from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

At December 31, 2007, borrowings from federal funds lines and securities sold under repurchase agreements amounted to $7.5 million, while other short-term borrowings totaled $24.4 million. Long-term debt at that date consisted of advances of $15.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank, a note payable of $6.6 million to another bank, and a mortgage payable of $91 thousand.

Management believes that the Company’s current sources of funds provide adequate liquidity for its current cash flow needs.

Critical Accounting Policy

The Company’s most significant critical accounting policy is the determination of its allowance for loan losses. A critical accounting policy is one that is both very important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments. What makes these judgments difficult, subjective and/or complex is the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Refer to the discussion within Allowance for Loan Losses and in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for a comprehensive discussion regarding this accounting policy.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has various financial instruments (outstanding commitments) with off-balance sheet risk that are issued in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding these commitments and contingent liabilities.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The major component of income for the Company is net interest income, the difference between yield earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities. This differential or margin can vary over time as changes in interest rates occur. The volatility of changes in this differential can be measured by the timing (or repricing) difference between maturing assets and liabilities.

To identify interest rate sensitivity, a common measure is a gap analysis, which reflects the difference or gap between rate sensitive assets and liabilities over various time periods. Gap analysis at December 31, 2007 is reflected in Financial Table 3 on page 54. While management reviews this information, it has implemented the use of a simulation model which calculates

 

50


UWHARRIE CAPITAL CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management’s Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition And Results of Operations

 

 

 

expected net interest income based on projected interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and interest rates and provides a more relevant view of interest rate risk than traditional gap tables. The simulation allows comparison of flat, rising and falling rate scenarios to determine sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates.

The Company models immediate rising and declining rate shocks of 2% on its subsidiary banks as preferred by regulators. The most recent consolidated 2% rate shock projections from the asset liability model, measured over a twelve-month period, indicate a negative impact of 8.08% on net interest income in a rates down scenario and a negative impact of 1.71% on net interest income in a rates up environment. Two of the subsidiary banks are asset sensitive and typically have some negative impact when rates decline, since the majority of interest bearing assets will reprice more quickly than the interest bearing liabilities. The other bank is liability sensitive, with the opposite effect, and the blend provides some balance in the consolidated results.

The principal goals of the Company’s asset liability management are the maintenance of adequate liquidity and the management of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk management attempts to balance the effects of interest rate changes on interest-sensitive assets and liabilities to protect net interest income from wide fluctuations that could result from changes in interest rates. The Company’s Asset Liability Management Committee monitors market changes in interest rates and assists with pricing loan and deposit products consistent with funding source needs and asset growth projections.

The above table analyzes the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The table distinguishes between (i) changes attributable to volume (changes in volume multiplied by the prior period’s rate), (ii) changes attributable to rate (changes in rate multiplied by the prior period’s volume), and (iii) net change (the sum of the previous columns). The change attributable to both rate and volume (changes in rate multiplied by changes in volume) has been allocated equally to the change attributable to volume and the change attributable to rate.
