MIDDLEBURG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDAIRIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004

(Unaudited)


Note 1.

General


In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2005 and the results of operations for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the “2004 Form 10-K”) of Middleburg Financial Corporation (the “Company”).  The results of operations for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


Note 2.

Stock –Based Employee Compensation Plan


At September 30, 2005, the Company had a stock-based employee compensation plan.  The Company accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations.  No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.  The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

Note 7.

Segment Reporting


The Company operates in a decentralized fashion in two principal business activities: banking services and trust and investment advisory services.  Revenue from banking activities consists primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and service charges on deposit accounts through Middleburg Bank (“Bank”).  Through the Bank’s 40% investment in Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC  (“Southern Trust”), the Company also recognizes its share of the net income from the Southern Trust investment in the other income section of the Bank’s income statement.


Revenues from trust and investment advisory activities are comprised mostly of fees based upon the market value of the accounts under administration. The trust and investment advisory services are conducted by two subsidiaries of the Company, Tredegar Trust Company (“Tredegar”) and Gilkison Patterson Investment Advisors, Inc. (“GPIA”).



9





The banking segment has assets in custody with Tredegar and accordingly pays Tredegar a monthly fee. The banking segment also pays interest to both Tredegar and GPIA on deposit accounts each company has at the Bank.  GPIA pays the Company a management fee each month for accounting and other services provided.  Transactions related to these relationships are eliminated to reach consolidated totals.   


The following table presents segment information for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.  The new standard changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle.  Among other changes, SFAS No. 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented based on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.”  The new standard is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate this revision will have a material effect on its financial statements.


On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the company or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments.  SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic method and requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expense in the statement of income.  The effective date of SFAS



12




No. 123R, as amended by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), is for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  The provisions of SFAS No. 123R do not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations at the present time.


In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107).  SAB 107 expresses the views of the SEC staff regarding the interaction of FAS 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the SEC staff’s view regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies.  SAB 107 does not impact the Company’s results of operations at the present time.


In November 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“ETIF” or the “Task Force”) published Issue 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.  The Task Force discussed the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to certain investments carried at cost.  The Task Force requested that the FASB staff consider other impairment models within U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) when developing its views.  The Task Force also requested that the scope of the impairment issue be expanded to include equity investments and investments subject to SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and that the issue be addressed by the Task Force as a separate EITF issue. At the EITF meeting, the Task Force reached a consensus on one issue that certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures should be required for securities accounted for under SFAS No. 115 that are impaired at the balance sheet date but for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized.  The FASB ratified the consensus on that one issue at its November 25, 2004 meeting.  In September 2004, the FASB directed its staff to issue two proposed FASB Staff Positions (FSP): Proposed FSP EITF Issue 03-1-a, which provides guidance for the application of paragraph 16 of EITF Issue 03-1 to debt securities that are impaired because of interest rate and/or sector spread increases, and Proposed FSP EITF Issue 03-1-b, which delays the effective date of Issue 03-1 for debt securities that are impaired because of interest rate and/or sector spread increases.  In June 2005, the FASB reached a decision whereby they declined to provide additional guidance on the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment.  The FASB directed its staff to issue EITF Issue 03-1-a as final and to draft a new FSP that will replace EITF Issue 03-1. The final FSP (retitled FAS 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and it Application to Certain Investments) would be effective for other-than-temporary impairment analysis conducted in periods beginning after September 15, 2005.  The Company does not anticipate this revision will have a material effect on its financial statements

Item 2.

 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.


Overview


The Company is headquartered in Middleburg, Virginia and conducts its primary operations through three wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank, Tredegar and GPIA.  The Bank is a community bank serving Loudoun County, Fauquier County and northern Fairfax County, Virginia with seven full service facilities and one limited service facility.  Tredegar is a trust company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia with a branch office in Middleburg, Virginia. GPIA is a registered investment advisor headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia serving clients in 26 states.


The Company offers a wide range of banking, fiduciary and investment services to both individuals and small businesses.  Banking services offered include business, real estate development, mortgage and automobile loans, checking and savings deposits, internet banking, ATM access, safe deposit rentals and other traditional bank services.  Fiduciary services offered include trust management and estate settlement.  Investment services include advisory and management of investments for our clients.


The Company generates a significant amount of its income from the net interest income earned by the Bank.  Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense and can be influenced by the quality of the assets.  Interest income depends on the amount of interest-earning assets outstanding during the period and the interest rates earned thereon. The Bank’s cost of money is a function of the average amount of deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid thereon.  The quality of the assets further influences the amount of interest income lost on non-accrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses.


The Company generates fee income from Tredegar and GPIA by providing investment management and trust services to its clients.  Investment management and trust fees are generally based upon the value of assets under management, and, therefore can be significantly affected by fluctuation in the values of securities caused by changes in the capital markets.  


Critical Accounting Policies


General


The financial condition and results of operations presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and this section are, to a large degree, dependent upon the accounting policies of the Company.  The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.  


Presented below is discussion of those accounting policies that management believes are the most important (“Critical Accounting Policies”) to the portrayal and understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  The Critical Accounting Policies require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain.  In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood.  




14




Allowance for Loan Losses


The Bank monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  The Bank maintains policies and procedures that address the systems of controls over the following areas of maintenance of the allowance:  the systematic methodology used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance to provide assurance the methodology is maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; the accounting policies for loan charge-offs and recoveries; the assessment and measurement of impairment in the loan portfolio; and the loan grading system.


The Bank evaluates various loans individually for impairment as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan – Income Recognition and Disclosures.  Loans evaluated individually for impairment include non-performing loans, such as loans on non-accrual, loans past due by 90 days or more, restructured loans and other loans selected by management.  The evaluations are based upon discounted expected cash flows or collateral valuations.  If the evaluation shows that a loan is individually impaired, then a specific reserve is established for the amount of impairment.  If a loan evaluated individually is not impaired, then the loan is assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, with a group of loans that have similar characteristics.


For loans without individual measures of impairment, the Bank makes estimates of losses for groups of loans as required by SFAS No. 5.  Loans are grouped by similar characteristics, including the type of loan, the assigned loan grade and the general collateral type.  A loss rate reflecting the expected loss inherent in a group of loans is derived based upon estimates of default rates for a given loan grade, the predominant collateral type for the group and the terms of the loan.  The resulting estimate of losses for groups of loans are adjusted for relevant environmental factors and other conditions of the portfolio of loans, including:  borrower and industry concentrations; levels and trends in delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries; changes in underwriting standards and risk selection; level of experience, ability and depth of lending management; and national and local economic conditions.  


The amount of estimated impairment for individually evaluated loans and groups of loans is added together for a total estimate of loan losses.  This estimate of losses is compared to the allowance for loan losses of the Bank as of the evaluation date and, if the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be made.  If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the estimate is evaluated to determine whether the allowance falls outside a range of estimates.  If the estimate of losses is below the range of reasonable estimates, the allowance would be reduced by way of a credit to the provision for loan losses.  The Bank recognizes the inherent imprecision in estimates of losses due to various uncertainties  and variability related to the factors used, and therefore a reasonable range around the estimate of losses is derived and used to ascertain whether the allowance is too high.  If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail and it is determined that the allowance is not adequate to absorb the new estimate of probable losses, an additional provision for loan losses would be made, which amount may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Intangibles and Goodwill


The Company had approximately $6.0 million in intangible assets and goodwill at September 30, 2005, a decrease of $253,000 since December 31, 2004.  On April 1, 2002, the Company acquired GPIA, a registered investment advisor, for $6.0 million.  Approximately $5.9 million of the purchase price was allocated to intangible assets and goodwill.  In connection with this investment, a purchase price valuation (using SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, as a guideline) was completed to determine the appropriate allocation to identified intangibles.  The



15




valuation concluded that approximately 42% of the purchase price was related to the acquisition of customer relationships with an amortizable life of 15 years.  Another 19% of the purchase price was allocated to a non-compete agreement with an amortizable life of seven years.  The remainder of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill.  Approximately $1.0 million of the $6.0 million in intangible assets and goodwill at September 30, 2005 was attributable to the Company’s investment in Tredegar.

 

The purchase price allocation process requires management estimates and judgment as to expectations for the life span of various customer relationships as well as the value that key members of management add to the success of the Company.  For example, customer attrition rates were determined based upon assumptions that the past five years may predict the future.  If the actual attrition rates, among other assumptions, differed from the estimates and judgments used in the purchase price allocation, the amounts recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill or require an acceleration in the amortization expense.


In addition, SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested annually using a two-step process.  The first step is to identify a potential impairment.  The second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any.  Processes and procedures have been identified for the two-step process.  On February 25, 2005, Davenport & Company, LLC, an unaffiliated third party, issued an opinion that stated the amount of goodwill carried on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2004 was not impaired.


When the Company completes its ongoing review of the recoverability of intangible assets and goodwill, factors that are considered important to determining whether an impairment might exist include loss of customers acquired or significant withdrawals of the assets currently under management and/or early retirement or termination of key members of management.  Any changes in the key management estimates or judgments could result in an impairment charge, and such a charge could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  


Financial Summary


Net Income


Net income for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was relatively unchanged at $5.6 million.  While gross revenues increased from $25.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $33.1 million for the same period in 2005, core operations have been impacted by increased funding costs, an increase in the provision for loan losses due to the large amount of loan growth and increased expenses related to the opening and staffing of two new facilities.  The Reston financial service center opened in November 2004 and the Warrenton financial service center opened in October 2005.


Assets


Total assets for the Company increased to $723.3 million at September 30, 2005, compared to $606.1 million at December 31, 2004, representing an increase of $117.2 million or 19.3%.  Total average assets increased 24.0% from $536.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $665.1 million for the same period in 2005.  Average shareholders’ equity increased 7.0% or $3.4 million over the same periods.  Annualized returns on average assets and equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were 1.1% and 14.1%, respectively, compared to 1.4% and 15.2% for the same period in 2004.




16




Loans


Net loans at September 30, 2005 were $492.9 million, an increase of $147.5 million from the December 31, 2004 amount of $345.4 million.  Additional lenders, a solid local economy and the relationship with Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC (“Southern Trust”) have contributed to the loan growth experienced thus far in 2005.  Net charge-offs were $6,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $1.5 million compared to $508,000 for the same period in 2004.  The allowance for loan losses was $4.9 million or 0.98% of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2005.


Upon the acquisition of the minority interest in Southern Trust in 2003, the Bank entered into two loan participation agreements with Southern Trust.  One arrangement is a tri-party agreement among the Bank, Southern Trust and Colonial Bank, Southern Trust’s warehouse line lender, and is capped at a balance of $30.0 million.  The LIBOR rate for these loan participations adjusts monthly.  Colonial Bank maintains the note documentation on behalf of the Bank, and the Bank engages a third party to perform semi-annual testing to validate Colonial Bank’s procedures.  Due to increased loan demand in the Bank’s operating market, management decided in the second quarter of 2005 to stop investing in participated mortgages held for sale.  The Company believes that the reduction in participated mortgages held for sale will allow the Bank to focus more of its resources on the loan portfolio.


The Bank also entered into a construction loan participation agreement with Southern Trust.  The Bank charges Southern Trust an interest rate equal to the prime rate plus up to 75 basis points on the outstanding participated loans held by the Bank. Adjustments in rate related to movements in the prime rate are made monthly.  There were $711,000 in outstanding balances of these construction loans at September 30, 2005.  Under this agreement, the Bank can purchase 93% of selected construction loans and draws, up to $20.0 million in outstanding balances and $30.0 million in commitments.  

 

Investments


The investment portfolio decreased 9.6% to $157.6 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $174.4 million at December 31, 2004.  During 2005, management elected to utilize cash received from principal pay-downs, maturities and calls to fund loan growth rather than re-invest into the investment portfolio.  This strategy has decreased the size of the investment portfolio.  In anticipation of rising interest rates, the Company has held to an investment strategy that focuses on keeping the portfolio relatively short by purchasing securities with maturities that on average do not exceed three years.  This strategy has impacted the Company’s earnings by decreasing the overall yield, but management believes the overall shorter duration is more desirable in the current interest rate environment.  At September 30, 2005, the tax equivalent yield on the investment portfolio was 4.91%.


Premises and Equipment


Premises and equipment increased $1.5 million or 9.3% from $16.3 million at December 31, 2004 to $17.9 million at September 30, 2005.  The increase represents the execution of several initiatives in the Company’s branching strategy.  The Company has adopted a new business model whereby all of its financial services will be available at a single branch, known as a financial service center location.  The financial service centers are larger than most traditional retail branches in order to allow commercial, mortgage, retail and wealth management personnel and services to be readily available to serve clients.  


The Company purchased a 1.0 acre parcel of land in Sterling, Virginia, on June 3, 2004. The purchase price of the land was $1.2 million.  The Company intends to construct a financial service center that will be approximately 6,600 square feet in size.  The new financial service center will provide service to clients living and working in eastern Loudoun and western Fairfax Counties.  The center will offer typical banking services including an ATM, safe deposit boxes and a full complement of retail products.  The Sterling financial service center is expected to open in 2006.

The Reston financial service center, which opened in November 2004, consists of a one-story building of brick construction with approximately 3,500 square feet of floor space, located at 1779 Fountain Drive, Reston, Virginia, 20190.  The office is a full service branch with three double-stack drive-up facilities and a drive-up automated teller machine.  The Bank owns the building but leases the land upon which it resides.  The initial term of the lease is 15 years, expiring on October 31, 2019, with two five-year renewal options.  The annual lease expense associated with this location is $222,000.  


In February 2005, the Company entered into a lease for an existing facility in Warrenton, Virginia.  This opportunity allowed the Company to open a facility sooner than was previously anticipated.  The lease has an original term of 20 years, commencing March 1, 2005, and a minimum annual rent of $123,000 which will increase three percent per annum on each March 1st during the original lease term.  The Company has four options to renew the lease beyond the initial term, each of which is for a period of five years.  Renovations were completed on the Warrenton financial service center and operations commenced on October 11, 2005.  A grand opening ceremony is tentatively scheduled for November 16, 2005.  The Warrenton financial services center offers the full range of the Company’s products and services.  The renovations costs approximately $1.3 million.


The Company has completed renovations that doubled the size of its Purcellville location in order to meet growing demand within the community.  The grand opening of the facility was held on March 5, 2005.  The newly remodeled financial services center exemplifies the Company’s new business model and offers a host of financial services to our clients.  The renovations cost approximately $1.6 million.


In September 2005, the Company reevaluated its expansion plans and decided to close its Virginia Beach loan production office in November 2005.


Other Assets


On August 31, 2004, the Company purchased $6.0 million of Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI). On December 22, 2004, the Company purchased an additional $4.8 million of BOLI.  This investment is reflected in the other asset section of the Company’s balance sheet. The Company purchased BOLI to help subsidize increasing employee benefit costs.  


Deposits


Total deposits increased $95.2 million to $520.1 million at September 30, 2005 from $424.9 million at December 31, 2004.  In April 2005, the Company entered into the brokered certificate of deposit market to broaden its funding capabilities.  At September 30, 2005, total deposits included $13.9 million in brokered certificates of deposit, with maturities ranging from three to five years.  In addition, the Company has introduced three new deposit products, a high yield consumer savings account known as Hunt Club Savings and a business money market account known as Money Works, both of which were introduced in the second quarter of 2005, and an interest bearing checking account known as Money Matters, which was introduced in the third quarter of 2005.  The new products had a combined balance of $67.1 million at September 30, 2005 and have contributed to the overall growth in deposits.

  

Another interest bearing product, known as Tredegar Institutional Select, which integrates the use of the cash within client accounts at Tredegar for overnight funding at the Bank, totaled $20.1 million at September 30, 2005 and is reflected in both the interest bearing deposit and the securities sold under agreement to repurchase amounts on the balance sheet.  Excluding the Tredegar Institutional Select account, interest and non interest bearing demand deposits increased by $64.2 million from December 31, 2004 to September 30, 2005.  Time deposits, excluding brokered certificates of deposit, increased $21.2 million since December 31, 2004 to $125.7 million at September 30, 2005.  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (Repo Accounts) increased $906,000 from $40.9 million at December 31, 2004 to $41.8 million at September 30, 2005.  The Repo Accounts include certain long-term commercial



18




checking accounts with average balances that typically exceed $100,000 and all Tredegar Institutional Select accounts maintained by business clients.


Borrowings


Cash flow from the investment portfolio, the increase in deposits and additional Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings funded the Company’s asset growth during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  FHLB overnight advances were $30.6 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $16.0 million at December 31, 2004.  FHLB long term advances increased to $57.5 million at September 30, 2005 from $53.5 million at December 31, 2004.  Federal Funds purchased, which represent an additional overnight funding source, were $1.1 million at September 30, 2005.



Capital


Shareholders’ equity was $53.6 million at September 30, 2005.  This amount represents an increase of 3.9% from the December 31, 2004 amount of $51.6 million.  The book value per common share was $14.09 at September 30, 2005 and $13.54 at December 31, 2004.  On February 8, 2005, the Company repurchased 11,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $37.00 per share.  On August 30, 2005, the Company repurchased 2,324 shares of its common stock at an average price of $33.50 per share.



Net Interest Income


Net interest income is one of the Company’s primary sources of earnings and represents the difference between interest and fees earned on earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and other interest bearing liabilities.  Net interest income totaled $18.1 million for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $15.1 million for the same period in 2004, an increase of 19.7%.  Interest income increased 33.6% and interest expense increased 82.3% when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to September 30, 2004.  Average earning assets increased $112.1 million from $489.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $601.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.


 

Interest income from loans increased $7.2 million to $20.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $13.3 million for the same period in 2004.  The increase in loan interest income results from the amount of loan growth experienced since September 30, 2004.  The average yield of loans increased 42 basis points from 5.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to 6.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The net increase to the portfolio of nearly $147.5 million during the first nine months of 2005 and the recent increases in the prime lending rate helped mitigate the impact of record low interest rates to the Company.  Approximately $102.1 million, or 20.7%, of the net loan portfolio at September 30, 2005 is tied to the Wall Street Journal prime interest rate.  


Under SFAS No. 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans, loan fees are recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment of yield.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the recognition of $472,000 in loan fees has been deferred.  The deferral of such fees decreased the yield on the loan portfolio by approximately 14 basis points for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005.  Loan origination costs are recorded as a deferred expense and are recognized over the life of the loan.  Deferred loan origination costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $1.0 million.


Interest income from the investment portfolio decreased by $609,000 to $5.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 from $6.1 million for the nine month period ended September



19




30, 2004.  This is the result of the Company’s strategy of decreasing the size of the investment portfolio by using the cash received from principal pay-downs, maturities and calls of securities to fund loan growth instead of reinvesting in securities.


Average deposits increased $98.7 million from $377.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $476.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  Total interest expense increased $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  Interest expense related to borrowed funds increased nearly $1.3 million from $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The rising costs of borrowings has contributed to the Company’s increased level of total interest expense.  The new Tredegar deposit product earned interest at a rate equal to 86.6% of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta’s overnight rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.  The mix of low cost deposits versus time deposits changed to approximately 73% in low cost deposits, versus 27% in higher cost time deposits at September 30, 2005.  At September 30, 2004, the mix had been 77% in low cost deposits, versus 23% in higher cost time deposits.


The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.16% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 4.27% for the same period in 2004.  The net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets.  Because a portion of interest income earned by the Company is nontaxable, the tax equivalent net interest income is considered in the calculation of this ratio.  Tax equivalent net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit realized from interest income that is nontaxable to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense.  The tax rate utilized in calculating the tax benefit for each of 2005 and 2004 is 34%.  The reconciliation of tax equivalent net interest income, which is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, to net interest income is reflected  in the table below.  The decline in tax equivalent net interest margin was attributed to both the lower yields earned on new loan growth during a period of low interest rates and the Company’s increased reliance on borrowed money to fund the earning asset growth.  The Company’s total average earning assets increased $109.3 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  Tax equivalent interest income increased $6.5 million to $26.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $20.1 million for the same period in 2004.

Non-interest Income


Non-interest income increased $699,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $7.1 million compared to $6.4 million for the  same period in 2004.


Equity in earnings from affiliate, which reflect the 40% ownership interest in Southern Trust, comprised 18.3% of total non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 22.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  Southern Trust closed $801.2 million in loans the first nine months of 2005 with 63.0% of its production attributable to purchase money financings.  For the same period in 2004, Southern Trust closed $688.4 million in loans with 65.6% of its production attributable to purchase money financings.  In February 2005, Southern Trust experienced a loan charge off which resulted in an approximate decrease in income of $56,000 for the Company.  Southern Trust has recently added more loan officers in order to increase its production efforts.  Additionally, with cost savings efforts in place, Southern Trust continues to monitor the profitability at of each of its offices in order to assess whether facility closings are warranted.


In addition to equity earnings from Southern Trust, the Bank also receives rental and data processing fees.  For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the rental and data processing income earned from Southern Trust was $62,000 and $82,000, respectively.


Commissions and fees from trust and investment advisory activities increased 4.3% or $119,000 to $2.9 million from $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  Investment advisory fees provided by GPIA were relatively unchanged at $1.6 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.  At September 30, 2005, assets under management at GPIA had increased $37.5 million from $566.2 million at September 30, 2004 to $603.7 million.  Fiduciary fees for services, provided by Tredegar, increased 15.1% to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  At September 30, 2005, Tredegar managed $609.9 million in assets, including intercompany assets of $134.0 million, an increase of 9.9% or $54.7 million from assets under administration of $555.2 million,



21




including intercompany assets of $162.0 million, at September 30, 2004.  Fiduciary fees are based upon the market value of the accounts under administration.


Service charges on deposits increased $164,000 or 14.4% to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2004.  In particular, ATM and Visa check card fees have increased approximately $70,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004.  Other service charges, which includes certain loan fees, increased $103,000 or 34.7% to $400,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004.  In particular, loan processing fees have increased $85,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004.


Investment sales fees decreased 5.2% to $513,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $541,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The Company now has three financial consultants working inside several of the Company’s financial service centers.


Income earned from the Bank’s $10.8 million investment in Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) contributed $354,000 to total other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The Company purchased $6.0 million of BOLI in the third quarter of 2004 and another $4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 to help subsidize increasing employee benefit costs and expenses related to the restructure of its supplemental retirement plans.  


Non-interest Expense


Total non-interest expense includes employee-related costs, occupancy and equipment expense and other overhead.  Total non-interest expense increased 21.8% or $2.9 million from $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $16.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The Company uses a non-GAAP measure called an efficiency ratio to monitor changes in non-interest expense in relation to the other components of net income on a tax equivalent basis.  The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and non-interest income excluding gains and losses on the investment portfolio.  The tax rate utilized is 34%.  As set forth in the table above, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, tax equivalent net interest income was $18.7 million and $15.8 million, respectively.  Total non-interest income excluding gains and losses on the investment portfolio was $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  As anticipated by the Company, the efficiency ratio has been negatively impacted by increased operating expenses associated with the execution of its new business model.  However, when taken as a percentage of total average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the year to date non-interest expense was 2.40% of total average assets, a slight decrease from 2.45% for the same period in 2004.  The decrease in annualized net interest margin of eleven basis points from September 30, 2004 to September 30, 2005 has also negatively impacted the Company’s efficiency ratio.


Salaries and employee benefits increased 22.3% when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  Additions to staff to support business development, retail branching and the implementation of the new business model have contributed to the increase in salaries and employee benefits.  Several experienced commercial lenders were hired to support business development efforts in both the Reston and Warrenton areas.  Additionally, with the opening of the Reston office in November 2004, various retail staff positions were added to the Company’s payroll.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, non-interest expense related to the Reston financial service center was $673,000.  Non-interest expense related to the preparations for opening of the Warrenton financial service center was $448,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005.  


Net occupancy expense increased by $415,000 or 24.9% from $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  As growth



22




efforts continue to progress, the Company anticipates higher levels of occupancy expense to be incurred.  In addition to the increased occupancy costs related to the Company’s two new locations, the renovation and expansion of the Purcellville branch contributed nearly $58,000 to the increase due to additional depreciation expenses.


Computer operations expense increased $99,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $655,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The increase is related to both the increased cost of computer related maintenance contracts and the increased number of the Company’s clients utilizing its online banking services and the increase in volume of online banking transactions.  Clients meeting specific criteria are provided free online banking services by the Company.


Other tax expense increased 18.8% or $55,000 to $347,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $292,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  The increase was mainly the result of the Bank’s franchise tax, which is paid to the state in lieu of an income tax and is based on the Bank’s equity capital.


Other operating expense increased 19.4% or $552,000 to $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  The increase was attributed to increases in accounting/audit fees, courier expenses, and educational expenses, all resulting from the Company’s growth.  

   

Allowance for Loan Losses


The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2005 was $4.9 million compared to $3.4 million at September 30, 2004.  The allowance for loan losses was 0.98% of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2005.  The provision for loan losses was $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The provision was $508,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.  The provision for loan losses increased due to the continued growth in the loan portfolio.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net charge-offs totaled $6,000, compared to net loan recoveries of $41,000 for the same period in 2004.  Total loans past due 90 days or more at September 30, 2005 were approximately $12,000.  Non-performing loans were 0.02% of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2005 compared to 0.12% at September 30, 2004.  Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2005.  Loans classified as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention are adequately reserved for and are not expected to have a material impact beyond what has been reserved.


Capital Resources


Shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $53.6 million and $51.6 million, respectively.  Total common shares outstanding at September 30, 2005 were 3,806,053.


At September 30, 2005, the Company’s tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 11.4% and 12.3%, respectively, compared to 14.2% and 15.1% at December 31, 2004.  The Company’s leverage ratio was 8.9% at September 30, 2005 compared to 10.4% at December 31, 2004.  The Company’s capital structure places it above the well capitalized regulatory guidelines, which affords the Company the opportunity to take advantage of business opportunities while ensuring that it has the resources to protect against risk inherent in its business.


Liquidity


Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management.  Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, short-



23




term investments, securities classified as available for sale and loans and securities maturing within one year.  As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.


The Company also maintains additional sources of liquidity through a variety of borrowing arrangements.  The Company maintains federal funds lines with large regional and money-center banking institutions.  These available lines total approximately $8.0 million, of which $1.1 million were outstanding at September 30, 2005.  Federal funds purchased during the first nine months of 2005 averaged $1.1 million compared to an average of $839,000 during the same period in 2004.  At September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had $41.8 million and $40.9 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings pursuant to repurchase agreements, with maturities of one day.

  

The Company has a credit line in the amount of $205.5 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.  This line may be utilized for short and/or long-term borrowing.  The Company has utilized the credit line for both overnight and long-term funding throughout the first nine months of 2005.  Overnight and long-term advances averaged $31.4 million and $8.5 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004.


At September 30, 2005, cash, interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions, federal funds sold, short-term investments, loans held for sale and securities available for sale were 33.7% of total deposits.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


Commitments to extend credit increased $22.2 million to $93.2 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $71.0 million at December 31, 2004.  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 expected future cash flows.  Standby letters of credit were $4.6 million at September 30, 2005.  This amount is an increase from the $2.7 million at December 31, 2004.


Contractual obligations increased $6.6 million to $82.3 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $75.7 million at December 31, 2004.  This change results from maturities on certain long-term debt obligations, additions to long-term debt and increases in operating leases related to the Warrenton facility.


The Company enters into interest rate swaps to lock in the interest cash outflows on its floating-rate debt.  On December 8, 2004, the Company borrowed a $15 million variable rate advance from the FHLB.  On that same date, the Company also entered into an interest rate swap with SunTrust Bank.  The total notional amount of the swap is $15 million.  This cash flow hedge effectively changes the variable-rate interest on the FHLB advance to a fixed-rate of interest.  Under the terms of the swap (which expires in December 2006), the Company pays SunTrust Bank a fixed interest rate of 3.35%.  SunTrust Bank pays the Company a variable rate of interest indexed to the three month LIBOR, plus 0.02%.  The interest receivable from SunTrust Bank reprices quarterly.  Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap designated as a hedging instrument of the variability of cash flows associated with the long-term debt are reported in other comprehensive income.  This amount is subsequently reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on floating-rate debt obligation affects earnings.  Because there are no differences between the critical terms of the interest rate swap and the hedged debt obligation, the Company has determined no ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices.  The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk, though it should be noted that the assets under management by Tredegar are affected by equity price risk.  The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability management process, which is governed by policies established by its Board of Directors that are reviewed and approved annually.  The Board of Directors delegates responsibility for carrying out asset/liability management policies to the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) of the Bank.  In this capacity, ALCO develops guidelines and strategies that govern the Company’s asset/liability management related activities, based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends.


Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates.  As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with the Company’s financial instruments also change, affecting net interest income, the primary component of the Company’s



25




earnings.  ALCO uses the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes.  While ALCO routinely monitors simulated net interest income sensitivity over a rolling two-year horizon, it also employs additional tools to monitor potential longer-term interest rate risk.


The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet.  The simulation model is prepared and updated four times during each year.  This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point (bp) upward shift and a 200 basis point downward shift in interest rates.  A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed.  Given the recent increases in interest rates during 2005, the model was changed to assume a 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, versus the 100 basis point decrease assumed in the 2004 analysis.  The following reflects the range of the Company’s net interest income sensitivity analysis during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004.



For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005

(0.52%)

0.84%



At September 30, 2005, the Company’s interest rate risk model indicated that, in a rising rate environment of 200 basis points over a 12 month period, net interest income could decrease by as much as 3.14%.  For the same time period the interest rate risk model indicated that in a declining rate environment of 200 basis points over a 12 month period net interest income could increase by as much as 0.47%.   While these numbers are subjective based upon the parameters used within the model, management believes the balance sheet is very balanced with little risk to rising rates in the future.  


Since December 31, 2004, the Company’s balance sheet has grown by $117.2 million.  Deposit inflows, increased borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the reduction in the securities portfolio have provided the funding for the growth in the loan portfolios.  The Company’s interest rate profile is liability sensitive bias for the next 12 months.  The profile then shifts toward intermediate and long term asset sensitivity over a “one to two year” and “beyond two year” time frame, respectively.  Based upon a September 30, 2005 simulation, the Bank could expect a negative impact to net interest income of approximately $834,000 over the next 12 months if rates rise 200 basis points.  If rates were to decline 200 basis points, the Bank could expect a positive impact to net interest income of approximately $126,000 over the next 12 months.


The Company maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that uses derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility.  The Company’s specific goal is to lower (where possible) the cost of its borrowed funds.



26





The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results.  These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate levels such as yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cashflows.  While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances about the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.


Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to factors such as prepayment and refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change, caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes, and other internal and external variables.  Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that ALCO might take in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in interest rates.



Item 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


The Company’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of it that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
