BUSINESS General Middleburg Financial Corporation (the Company) is a bank holding company that was incorporated under Virginia law in 1993. The Company conducts its primary operations through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Middleburg Bank (the Bank) and Middleburg Investment Group, Inc. (MIG), both of which are chartered under Virginia law. The Company has two other wholly owned subsidiaries, ICBI Capital Trust I and MFC Capital Trust II, which are Delaware Business Trusts that the Company formed in connection with the issuance of trust preferred debt in November 2001 and December 2003. Middleburg Bank The Bank has seven full service facilities and one limited service facility. The main office is located at 111 West Washington Street, Middleburg, Virginia 20117. The other facilities are located in Ashburn, Purcellville, Reston and Warrenton, Virginia, and the Bank has three facilities in Leesburg, Virginia. The Bank opened for business on July 1, 1924. The Bank serves the Virginia counties of Loudoun, Fairfax and Fauquier. Loudoun County is in northwestern Virginia and included in the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan statistical area. According to the Loudoun County Department of Economic Development, the countys population was approximately 263,000 as of January 1, 2006, with over one-third of the population located in the Companys markets. The local economy is driven by service industries requiring a high skill level, self-employed individuals, the equine industry and the independently wealthy. Fairfax County is in northern Virginia and is included in the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan statistical area. According to the latest data on Fairfax Countys Web Site, the countys
population was approximately 1,041,000 as of January 1, 2006. The local economy is driven by service industries and federal, state and
local governments. Fauquier County is in northern Virginia and is included in the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan statistical area. Fauquier Countys population was approximately 61,500, according to the latest data published as of January 1, 2005. The local economy is driven by service industries and agriculture. The Bank has one wholly owned subsidiary, Middleburg Bank Service Corporation. Middleburg Bank Service Corporation is a partner in a limited liability company, Bankers Title Shenandoah, LLC, which sells title insurance to its members. Middleburg Bank Service Corporation has also invested in two other limited liability companies, Virginia Bankers Insurance Center, LLC and Bankers Investment Group, LLC. Virginia Bankers Insurance Center, LLC acts as a broker for insurance sales for its member banks and Bankers Investment Group act as a broker dealer for sales of investment products to clients of its member banks. On April 15, 2003, the Bank acquired 40% of the issued and outstanding membership interest units of Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC (STM). The Bank acquired the membership interest units in equal proportion from the seven members of STM, all of whom own, in the aggregate, the remaining issued and outstanding units of STM. STM is a regional mortgage lender headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia and has offices in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. 3 Middleburg Investment Group Middleburg Investment Group is a non-bank holding company that was formed in the fourth quarter of 2005. In December 2005, the Company transferred its investments in Tredegar Trust Company and Gilkison Patterson Investment Advisors, Inc. to MIG. As part of the transfer, the names of both subsidiary companies were changed. Tredegar Trust Company became Middleburg Trust Company (MTC), and Gilkison Patterson Investment Advisors, Inc became Middleburg Investment Advisors, Inc. (MIA). Both subsidiaries are wholly owned by MIG. MTC is chartered under Virginia law, and MIA is an investment advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Middleburg Trust Company opened for business in January 1994 and has its main office at 821 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219. MTC serves primarily the greater Richmond area including the counties of Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover, Goochland and Powhatan. Richmond is the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the greater Richmond area had an estimated population in excess of 1.0 million in 2005 based on the 2000 U. S. Census. MTC also serves the counties of Fairfax, Fauquier and Loudoun with staff located within several of the Banks facilities. Middleburg Investment Advisors, Inc. has its main office at 1901 North Beauregard Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22311. MIA primarily serves the District of Columbia metropolitan area including contingent markets in Virginia and Maryland but also has clients in 22 other states. Products and Services The Company is currently in the middle of a two-year program to implement a new business model. Under this model, all of the Companys financial services are available at a single branch, known as a financial service center location. The financial service centers are larger than most traditional retail banking branches in order to allow commercial, mortgage, retail and wealth management personnel and services to be readily available to serve clients. By working together in the financial service center and the market, the team at each financial service center becomes more effective in expanding the relationships with current clients and new clients. The Companys goal is to create, preserve and ultimately transfer the wealth of its clients. The Company, through its subsidiaries, offers a wide range of banking, fiduciary and investment management services available to both individuals and small businesses. The banking services include various types of checking and savings deposit accounts, and the making of business, real estate, development, mortgage, home equity, automobile and other installment, demand and term loans. Also, the Bank offers ATMs at all locations, internet banking, travelers checks, money orders, safe deposit rentals, collections, notary public, wire services and other traditional bank services to its clients. MTC provides a variety of investment management and fiduciary services including trust and estate settlement. MTC can also serve as escrow agent, attorney-in-fact,
guardian of property or trustee of an IRA. MIA provides fee based investment management services for its clients. Employees As of December 31, 2005, the Company had a total of 165 full time equivalent employees. The Company considers relations with its employees to be excellent. The Companys employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit. 4 SEC Filings The Company maintains an internet website at www.middleburgfinancial.com. Shareholders of the Company and the public may access the Companys periodic and current reports (including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports) filed with or furnished to the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, through the Investor Relations section of the Companys website. The reports are made available on this website as soon as practicable following the filing of the reports with the SEC. The information is free of charge and may be reviewed, downloaded and printed from the website at any time. 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 the Banks 40% investment in STM, the Company also recognizes its share of the net income from the STM investment in the other income section of the Banks 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 the two subsidiaries of MIG, MTC and MIA. The banking segment has assets in custody with MTC and accordingly pays MTC a monthly fee. The banking segment also pays interest to both MTC and MIA on deposit accounts each company has at the Bank. MIA 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. 5 The following tables present segment information for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Competition for loans comes from commercial banks, savings and loan associations and savings banks, mortgage banking subsidiaries of regional commercial banks, subsidiaries of national mortgage bankers, insurance companies, and other institutional lenders. Its most direct competition for deposits has historically come from savings and loan associations and savings banks, commercial banks, credit unions and other financial institutions. Based upon total deposits at June 30, 2005 as reported to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC), the Company has the second largest share of deposits with 19.1% market share among the banking organizations operating in
Loudoun County, Virginia. With its acquisition of First Virginia Bank in July 2003, BB&T
Corporation has gained the largest share of deposits in the market. The Companys Reston location, as of the latest FDIC report, is 0.005% of the $38.1
billion in deposits in the Fairfax County market. Statistical data for Fauquier County did not include our Warrenton location as of the latest FDIC report. The Company also faces competition for deposits from short-term money market mutual funds and other corporate and government securities funds. MTC competes for clients and accounts with banks, other financial institutions and money managers. Even though many of these institutions have been engaged in the trust or investment management business for a considerably longer period of time than MTC and have significantly greater resources, MTC has grown through its commitment to quality trust and investment management services and a local community approach to business. 6 MIA competes for its clients and accounts with other money managers and investment brokerage firms. Like the rest of the Company, MIA is dedicated to quality service and high investment performance for its clients. MIA has successfully operated in its markets for 24 years. Lending Activities Credit Policies The principal risk associated with each of the categories of loans in the Banks portfolio is the creditworthiness of its borrowers. Within each category, such risk is increased or decreased, depending on prevailing economic conditions. In an effort to manage the risk, the Banks loan policy gives loan amount approval limits to individual loan officers based on their position and level of experience. The risk associated with real estate mortgage loans, commercial and consumer loans varies, based on market employment levels, consumer confidence, fluctuations in the value of real estate and other conditions that affect the ability of borrowers to repay indebtedness. The risk associated with real estate construction loans varies, based on the supply and demand for the type of real estate under construction. The Bank has written policies and procedures to help manage credit risk. The Bank utilizes an outside third party loan review process that includes regular portfolio reviews to establish loss exposure and to ascertain compliance with the Banks loan policy. The Bank
has three levels of lending authority. Individual loan officers are the first level and are limited
to their lending authority. The second level is the Officers Loan Committee, which is composed of four
officers of the Bank, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Lending Officer.
The Officers Loan Committee approves loans that exceed the individual loan officers lending
authority and reviews loans to be presented to the Directors Loan Committee. The Directors Loan
Committee is composed of seven Directors, of which six are independent Directors. The Directors
Loan Committee approves new, modified and renewed credits that exceed Officer Loan Committee
authorities. The chairman of the Directors Loan Committee is the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of the Bank. A quorum is reached when four members are present, of which at least three must be independent Directors. An application requires four votes to receive approval by this
committee. In addition, the Directors Loan Committee reports all new loans reviewed and approved to the Banks Board of Directors monthly. Monthly reports shared with the Directors Loan Committee include names and monetary amounts of all new credits in excess of $12,500 or which had been extended; a watch list including names, monetary amounts, risk rating and payment status; non accruals and charge offs as recommended and a list of overdrafts in excess of $1,500 and which have been overdrawn more than four days. The Directors Loan Committee also reviews lending policies proposed by management. In the normal
course of business, the Bank makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities which are
disclosed but not reflected in its annual financial statements including commitments to extend credit. At December 31, 2005, commitments to extend credit totaled $93.6 million. Construction Lending The Bank makes local construction loans, primarily residential, and land acquisition and development loans. The construction loans are secured by residential houses under construction and the underlying land for which the loan was obtained. At December 31, 2005, construction, land and land development loans outstanding were $88.3 million, or 16.8%, of total loans. Approximately 95% of these loans are concentrated in the Loudoun County, Virginia market. The average life of a construction loan is approximately 12 months and it reprices monthly to meet the market, typically the prime interest rate plus 7 one percent. Because the
interest rate charged on these loans floats with the market, the construction loans help the Company in
managing its interest rate risk. Construction lending entails significant additional risks, compared
with residential mortgage lending. Construction loans often involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Another risk involved in construction lending is attributable to the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the security of the land or home under construction, which value is estimated prior to the completion of construction. Thus, it is more difficult to evaluate accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project and related loan-to-value ratios. To mitigate the risks associated with construction lending, the Bank generally limits loan amounts to 75% to 85% of appraised value, in addition to analyzing the credit
worthiness of its borrowers. The Bank also obtains a first lien on the property as security
for its construction loans and typically requires personal guarantees from the borrowing entitys
principal owners. Commercial Business Loans Commercial business
loans generally have a higher degree of risk than residential mortgage loans, but have higher
yields. To manage these risks, the Bank generally obtains appropriate collateral and personal
guarantees from the borrowing entitys principal owners and monitors the financial
condition of its business borrowers. Residential mortgage loans generally are made on the basis
of the borrowers ability to make repayment from his employment and other income and are secured
by real estate whose value tends to be readily ascertainable. In contrast, commercial business
loans typically are made on the basis of the borrowers ability to make repayment from cash flow
from its business and are secured by business assets, such as commercial real estate, accounts receivable,
equipment and inventory. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial
business loans is substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Furthermore, the
collateral for commercial business loans may depreciate over time and generally cannot be appraised with as much precision as residential real estate. The Bank has an outside third party loan review and monitoring process to regularly assess the repayment ability of commercial borrowers. At December 31, 2005, commercial loans totaled $28.4 million, or 5.4% of total loans. Commercial Real Estate Lending Commercial real estate loans are secured by various types of commercial real estate in the Banks market area, including multi-family residential buildings, commercial buildings and offices, small shopping centers and churches. At December 31, 2005, commercial real estate loans aggregated $177.2 million, or 33.8%, of the Banks total loans. In its underwriting
of commercial real estate, the Bank may lend, under internal policy, up to 80% of the secured propertys
appraised value. Commercial real estate lending entails significant additional risk, compared with
residential mortgage lending. Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger loan balances
concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Additionally, the payment
experience on loans secured by income producing properties is typically dependent on the successful
operation of a business or a real estate project and thus may be subject, to a greater extent, to
adverse conditions in the real estate market or in the economy generally. The Banks commercial
real estate loan underwriting criteria require an examination of debt service coverage ratios and the
borrowers creditworthiness, prior credit history and reputation. The Bank also evaluates
the location of the security property and typically requires personal guarantees or endorsements of the
borrowing entitys principal owners. 8 One-to-Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending Residential lending activity may be generated by the Banks loan originator solicitation, referrals by real estate professionals, existing or new bank clients and purchases of whole loans from STM. Loan applications are taken by a Bank loan officer. As part of the application process, information is gathered concerning income, employment and credit history of the applicant. Loans are underwritten using the Banks underwriting guidelines. Security for the majority of the Banks residential lending is in the form of owner occupied one-to-four-family dwellings. The valuation of residential collateral is provided by independent fee appraisers who have been approved by the Banks Board of Directors. The Bank also originates a non-conforming adjustable rate (ARM) product with a higher entry level rate and margin than that of the conforming adjustable rate products. This non-conforming loan provides yet another outlet for loans not meeting secondary market guidelines. The Bank keeps these loans in its loan portfolio. Interest rates on ARM products offered by the Bank are tied to fixed rates issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta plus a spread. The Banks ARM products contain interest rate caps at adjustment periods and rate ceilings based on a cap over and above the original interest rate. At December 31, 2005, $210.9 million, or 40.2%, of the Banks loan portfolio consisted of one-to-four-family residential real estate loans and home equity lines. Of the $210.9 million, $119.2 million were fixed rate mortgages while the remaining $91.7 million were adjustable rate mortgages. The fixed rate loans are typically 3, 5, 7 or 10 year balloon loans amortized over a 30 year period. The Bank has about $55.9 million in fixed rate loans that have maturities of 15 years or greater. Approximately $38.8 million of fixed rate loans have maturities of 5 years or less. In connection with residential real estate loans, the Bank requires title insurance, hazard insurance and if required, flood insurance. Flood determination letters with life of loan tracking are obtained on all federally related transactions with improvements serving as security for the transaction. The Company does require escrows for real estate taxes and insurance. Consumer Lending The Bank offers various secured and unsecured consumer loans, including unsecured personal loans and lines of credit, automobile loans, deposit account loans, installment and demand loans and home equity lines of credit and loans. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had consumer loans of $17.1 million or 3.3% of gross loans. Such loans are generally made to clients with whom the Bank has a pre-existing relationship. The Bank currently originates all of its consumer loans in its geographic market area. Most of the consumer loans are tied to the prime lending rate and reprice monthly. Consumer loans may
entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are
unsecured, such as lines of credit, or secured by rapidly depreciable assets such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. The remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrowers continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount
which can be recovered on such loans. Such loans may also give rise to claims and defenses by a
consumer borrower against an assignee of collateral securing the loan such as the Bank, and a borrower may be able to assert against 9 such assignee claims and defenses which it has against the seller of the underlying collateral. Consumer loan delinquencies often increase over time as the loans age. The underwriting standards employed by the Bank for consumer loans include a determination of the applicants payment history on other debts and an assessment of ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. The stability of the applicants monthly income may be determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary employment, and additionally from any verifiable secondary income. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes an analysis of the value of the security in relation to the proposed loan amount. Supervision and Regulation General As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the examination and reporting requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As a state-chartered commercial bank, the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Virginia State Corporation Commissions Bureau of Financial Institutions. It is also subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Board. Other federal and state laws, including various consumer and compliance laws, govern the activities of the Bank, the investments that it makes and the aggregate amount of loans that it may grant to one borrower. The following description summarizes the significant federal and state laws applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries. To the extent that statutory or regulatory provisions are described, the description is qualified in its entirety by reference to that particular statutory or regulatory provision. The Bank Holding Company Act Under the Bank Holding Company Act, the Company is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve and required to file periodic reports regarding its operations and any additional information that the Federal Reserve may require. Activities at the bank holding company level are limited to: · banking, managing or controlling banks; · furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries; and · engaging in other activities that the Federal Reserve has determined by regulation or order to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to these activities. Some of the activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined by regulation to be proper incidents to the business of a bank holding company include making or servicing loans and specific types of leases, performing specific data processing services and acting in some circumstances as a fiduciary or investment or financial adviser. With some limited exceptions, the Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before: · acquiring substantially all the assets of any bank; 10 · acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if after such acquisition it would own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares); or · merging or consolidating with another bank holding company. In addition, and subject to some exceptions, the Bank Holding Company Act and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with their regulations, require Federal Reserve approval prior to any person or company acquiring control of a bank holding company. Control is conclusively presumed to exist if an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting securities of the bank holding company. Control is rebuttably presumed to exist if a person acquires 10% or more, but less than 25%, of any class of voting securities and either has registered securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) or no other person owns a greater percentage of that class of voting securities immediately after the transaction. The regulations provide a procedure for challenging this rebuttable control presumption. In November 1999,
Congress enacted the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the GLBA), which made substantial revisions to the
statutory restrictions separating banking activities from other financial activities. Under the GLBA,
bank holding companies that are well-capitalized and well-managed and meet other conditions can elect to
become financial holding companies. As financial holding companies, they and their
subsidiaries are permitted to acquire or engage in previously impermissible activities such as insurance
underwriting, securities underwriting and distribution, travel agency activities, insurance agency
activities, merchant banking and other activities that the Federal Reserve determines to be financial in
nature or complementary to these activities. Financial holding companies continue to be subject to the
overall oversight and supervision of the Federal Reserve, but the GLBA applies the concept of functional regulation to the activities conducted by subsidiaries. For example,
insurance activities would be subject to supervision and regulation by state insurance
authorities. Although the Company has not elected to become a financial holding company in order to
exercise the broader activity powers provided by the GLBA, the Company will likely elect do so in the future. Payment of Dividends The Company is a
legal entity separate and distinct from its banking and non-banking subsidiaries. The
majority of the Companys revenues are from dividends paid to the Company by its
subsidiaries. The Bank is subject to laws and regulations that limit the amount of dividends it
can pay. In addition, both the Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory restrictions
relating to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain capital at or above regulatory
minimums. Banking regulators have indicated that banking organizations should generally pay dividends
only if the organizations net income available to common shareholders over the past year has been
sufficient to fully fund the dividends and the prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent
with the organizations capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. The
Company does not expect that any of these laws, regulations or policies will materially affect the ability
of the Bank to pay dividends. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Bank paid $1.6 million in
dividends to the Company, and the non-banking subsidiaries paid $497,000 to the Company. The FDIC has the
general authority to limit the dividends paid by insured banks if the payment is deemed an unsafe and
unsound practice. The FDIC has indicated that paying dividends that deplete a banks capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsound and unsafe banking practice. 11 Insurance of Accounts, Assessments and Regulation by the FDIC The deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC up to the limits set forth under applicable law. The deposits of the Bank subsidiary are subject to the deposit insurance assessments of the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) of the FDIC. The FDIC has implemented a risk-based deposit insurance assessment system under which the assessment rate for an insured institution may vary according to regulatory capital levels of the institution and other factors, including supervisory evaluations. For example, depository institutions insured by the BIF that are well capitalized and that present few or no supervisory concerns are required to pay only the statutory minimum assessment of $2,000 annually for deposit insurance, while all other banks are required to pay premiums ranging from .03% to .27% of domestic deposits. These rate schedules are subject to future adjustments by the FDIC. In addition, the FDIC has authority to impose special assessments from time to time. The FDIC is
authorized to prohibit any BIF-insured institution from engaging in any activity that the FDIC
determines by regulation or order to pose a serious threat to the respective insurance fund. Also,
the FDIC may initiate enforcement actions against banks, after first giving the institutions primary
regulatory authority an opportunity to take such action. The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance
of any depository institution if it determines, after a hearing, that the institution has engaged or is
engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or
has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed in writing by the FDIC. It
also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent termination of
insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital. If deposit insurance is terminated, the deposits at the institution at the time of termination, less subsequent withdrawals,
shall continue to be insured for a period from six months to two years, as determined by the
FDIC. The Company is not aware of any existing circumstances that could result in termination of any of the Banks deposit insurance. Capital Requirements The Federal
Reserve Board has issued risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to banking organizations
that it supervises. Under the risk-based capital requirements, the Company and the Bank are each
generally required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including
certain off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) of 8%. At least half
of the total capital must be composed of Tier 1 Capital, which is defined as common
equity, retained earnings and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, less certain
intangibles. The remainder may consist of Tier 2 Capital, which is defined as specific
subordinated debt, some hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying preferred stock and a limited
amount of the loan loss allowance. In addition, each of the federal banking regulatory agencies
has established minimum leverage capital requirements for banking organizations. Under these
requirements, banking organizations
must maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average quarterly assets equal to 3% to 5%,
subject to federal bank regulatory evaluation of an organizations overall safety and
soundness. In sum, the capital measures used by the federal banking regulators are: · the Total Capital ratio, which is the total of Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital; · the Tier 1 Capital ratio; and · the leverage ratio. 12 Under these regulations, a bank will be: · well capitalized if it has a Total Capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of 6% or greater, and is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive by a federal bank regulatory agency to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure; · adequately capitalized if it has a Total Capital ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of 4% or greater, and a leverage ratio of 4% or greater or 3% in certain circumstances and is not well capitalized; · undercapitalized if it has a Total Capital ratio of less than 8% or greater, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of less than 4% - or 3% in certain circumstances; · significantly undercapitalized if it has a Total Capital ratio of less than 6%, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of less than 3%, or a leverage ratio of less than 3%; or · critically undercapitalized if its tangible equity is equal to or less than 2% of average quarterly tangible assets. The risk-based capital standards of the Federal Reserve Board explicitly identify concentrations of credit risk and the risk arising from non-traditional activities, as well as an institutions ability to manage these risks, as important factors to be taken into account by the agency in assessing an institutions overall capital adequacy. The capital guidelines also provide that an institutions exposure to a decline in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates be considered by the agency as a factor in evaluating a banking organizations capital adequacy. The FDIC may take various corrective actions against any undercapitalized bank and any bank that fails to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan or fails to implement a plan accepted by the FDIC. These powers include, but are not limited to, requiring the institution to be recapitalized, prohibiting asset growth, restricting interest rates paid, requiring prior approval of capital distributions by any bank holding company that controls the institution, requiring divestiture by the institution of its subsidiaries or by the holding company of the institution itself, requiring new election of directors, and requiring the dismissal of directors and officers. The Bank presently maintains sufficient capital to remain in compliance with these capital requirements. Other Safety and Soundness Regulations There are a
number of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding companies and their depository
institution subsidiaries by federal law and regulatory policy that are designed to reduce potential
loss exposure to the depositors of such depository institutions and to the FDIC insurance funds in the
event that the depository institution is insolvent or is in danger of becoming insolvent. For example,
under the requirements of the Federal Reserve Board with respect to bank holding company operations, a bank
holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository
institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might not do
so otherwise. In addition, the cross-guarantee provisions of federal law require insured
depository institutions under common control to reimburse the FDIC for any loss suffered or reasonably anticipated by the FDIC as a result of the insolvency of commonly controlled insured depository
institutions or for any assistance provided by the FDIC to commonly controlled insured depository
institutions in danger of failure. The FDIC may decline to enforce the cross-guarantee provision if it 13 determines that a waiver is in the best interests of the deposit insurance funds. The FDICs claim for reimbursement under the cross guarantee provisions is superior to claims of shareholders of the insured depository institution or its holding company but is subordinate to claims of depositors, secured creditors and nonaffiliated holders of subordinated debt of the commonly controlled insured depository institutions. Monetary Policy The commercial
banking business is affected not only by general economic conditions but also by the monetary policies
of the Federal Reserve Board. The instruments of monetary policy employed by the Federal Reserve
Board include open market operations in United States government securities, changes
in the discount rate on member bank borrowing and changes in reserve requirements against deposits
held by all federally insured banks. The Federal Reserve Boards monetary policies have
had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected
to continue to do so in the future. In view of changing conditions in the national and
international economy and in the money markets, as well as the effect of actions by monetary
fiscal authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board, no prediction can be made as to possible
future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand or the business and earnings of the Bank. Federal Reserve System In 1980,
Congress enacted legislation that imposed reserve requirements on all depository institutions that maintain
transaction accounts or non-personal time deposits. NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts and
other types of accounts that permit payments or transfers to third parties fall within the definition of transaction accounts and are subject to these reserve requirements, as are any non-personal time deposits at an institution.
For net transaction accounts in 2006, the first $7.8 million, the same amount as in 2005, will be exempt
from reserve requirements. A three percent reserve ratio will be assessed on net transaction
accounts over $7.8 million up to and including $40.5 million, also the same amount as in 2005. A 10 percent reserve ratio will be applied above $40.5 million.
These percentages are subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve Board. Because required
reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or in a non-interest-bearing account at, or on behalf of, a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of the reserve requirement is to reduce the amount of the institutions interest-earning assets. Transactions with Affiliates Transactions
between banks and their affiliates are governed by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. An
affiliate of a bank is any bank or entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with
such bank. Generally, Sections 23A and 23B (i) limit the extent to which the Bank or its subsidiaries
may engage in covered transactions with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such
institutions capital stock and surplus, and maintain an aggregate limit on all such transactions with
affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such capital stock and surplus, and (ii) require that all such
transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the association or subsidiary
as those provided to a nonaffiliate. The term covered transaction includes the making of
loans, purchase of assets, issuance of a guarantee and similar other types of transactions. Loans to Insiders The Federal Reserve Act and related regulations impose specific restrictions on loans to directors, executive officers and principal shareholders of banks. Under Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act, loans to a director, an executive officer and to a principal shareholder of a bank, and some affiliated entities of any of the foregoing, may not exceed, together with all other outstanding loans to such person and affiliated entities, the banks loan-to-one borrower limit. Loans in the aggregate to insiders and their 14 related interests as a class
may not exceed two times the banks unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus until the banks
total assets equal or exceed $100,000,000, at which time the aggregate is limited to the banks
unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. Section 22(h) also prohibits loans, above amounts
prescribed by the appropriate federal banking agency, to directors, executive officers and principal
shareholders of a bank or bank holding company, and their respective affiliates, unless such loan is
approved in advance by a majority of the board of directors of the bank with any interested
director not participating in the voting. The FDIC has prescribed the loan amount, which includes
all other outstanding loans to such person, as to which such prior board of director approval is required,
as being the greater of $25,000 or 5% of capital and surplus (up to $500,000). Section 22(h) requires that loans to directors, executive officers and principal shareholders be made on terms and
underwriting standards substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions to other persons. Community Reinvestment Act Under the
Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations, depository institutions have an affirmative
obligation to assist in meeting the credit needs of their market areas, including low and moderate-income
areas, consistent with safe and sound banking practice. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the
adoption by each institution of a Community Reinvestment Act statement for each of its market areas
describing the depository institutions efforts to assist in its communitys credit
needs. Depository institutions are periodically examined for compliance with the Community
Reinvestment Act and are periodically assigned ratings in this regard. Banking regulators consider
a depository institutions Community Reinvestment Act rating when reviewing applications to
establish new branches, undertake new lines of business, and/or acquire part or all of another depository
institution. An unsatisfactory rating can significantly delay or even prohibit regulatory approval of
a proposed transaction by a bank holding company or its depository institution subsidiaries. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and federal bank regulators have made various changes to the Community Reinvestment Act. Among other changes, Community Reinvestment Act agreements with private parties must be disclosed and annual reports must be made to a banks primary federal regulatory. A bank holding company will not be permitted to become a financial holding company and no new activities authorized under the GLBA may be commenced by a holding company or by a bank financial subsidiary if any of its bank subsidiaries received less than a satisfactory rating in its latest Community Reinvestment Act examination. Fair Lending; Consumer Laws In addition to the Community Reinvestment Act, other federal and state laws regulate various lending and consumer aspects of the banking business. Governmental agencies, including the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, have become concerned that prospective borrowers experience discrimination in their efforts to obtain loans from depository and other lending institutions. These agencies have brought litigation against depository institutions alleging discrimination against borrowers. Many of these suits have been settled, in some cases for material sums, short of a full trial. Recently, these governmental agencies have clarified what they consider to be lending discrimination and have specified various factors that they will use to determine the existence of lending discrimination under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act, including evidence that a lender discriminated on a prohibited basis, evidence that a lender treated applicants differently based on prohibited factors in the absence of evidence that the treatment was the result of prejudice or a conscious intention to discriminate, and evidence that a lender applied an otherwise neutral non-discriminatory 15 policy uniformly to all applicants, but the practice had a discriminatory effect, unless the practice could be justified as a business necessity. Banks and other depository institutions also are subject to numerous consumer-oriented laws and regulations. These laws, which include the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and the Fair Housing Act, require compliance by depository institutions with various disclosure requirements and requirements regulating the availability of funds after deposit or the making of some loans to customers. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 The GLBA covers a broad range of issues, including a repeal of most of the restrictions on affiliations among depository institutions, securities firms and insurance companies. The following description summarizes some of its significant provisions. The GLBA permits unrestricted affiliations between banks and securities firms. It also permits bank holding companies to elect to become financial holding companies. A financial holding company may engage in or acquire companies that engage in a broad range of financial services, including securities activities such as underwriting, dealing, investment, merchant banking, insurance underwriting, sales and brokerage activities. In order to become a financial holding company, the bank holding company and all of its affiliated depository institutions must be well-capitalized, well-managed and have at least a satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act rating. The GLBA provides that the states continue to have the authority to regulate insurance activities, but prohibits the states in most instances from preventing or significantly interfering with the ability of a bank, directly or through an affiliate, to engage in insurance sales, solicitations or cross-marketing activities. Although the states generally must regulate bank insurance activities in a nondiscriminatory manner, the states may continue to adopt and enforce rules that specifically regulate bank insurance activities in specific areas identified under the law. Under the new law, the federal bank regulatory agencies adopted insurance consumer protection regulations that apply to sales practices, solicitations, advertising and disclosures. The GLBA
adopts a system of functional regulation under which the Federal Reserve Board is designated as the
umbrella regulator for financial holding companies, but financial holding company affiliates are
principally regulated by functional regulators such as the FDIC for state nonmember bank affiliates,
the SEC for securities affiliates, and state insurance regulators for insurance affiliates. It
repeals the broad exemption of banks from the definitions of broker and dealer
for purposes of the Exchange Act, as amended. It also identifies a set of specific activities,
including traditional bank trust and fiduciary activities, in which a bank may engage without being deemed
a broker, and a set of activities in which a bank may engage without being deemed
a dealer. Additionally, the new law makes conforming changes in the definitions
of broker and dealer for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The GLBA contains
extensive customer privacy protection provisions. Under these provisions, a financial institution must
provide to its customers, both at the inception of the customer relationship and on an annual basis, the institutions policies and procedures regarding the handling of customers nonpublic personal financial information. The law provides that, except for specific limited exceptions, an institution may not provide such personal information to unaffiliated third parties unless the institution discloses to the customer that such information may be so provided and the customer is given the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure. An institution may not disclose to a non-affiliated third party, 16 other than to a consumer reporting agency, customer account numbers or other similar account identifiers for marketing purposes. The GLBA also provides that the states may adopt customer privacy protections that are more strict than those contained in the act. Bank Secrecy Act Under the Bank
Secrecy Act (the BSA), a financial institution is required to have systems in place to
detect certain transactions, based on the size and nature of the transaction. Financial
institutions are generally required to report cash transactions involving more than $10,000 to
the United States Treasury. In addition, financial institutions are required to file
suspicious activity reports for transactions that involve more than $5,000 and which the financial
institution knows, suspects or has reason to suspect, involves illegal funds, is designed to evade
the requirements of the BSA or has no lawful purpose. The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, enacted in
response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, requires bank regulators to consider a financial
institutions compliance with the BSA when reviewing applications from a financial
institution. As part of its BSA program, the USA PATRIOT Act also requires a financial institution to follow recently implemented customer
identification procedures when opening accounts for new customers and to review lists of individuals and entities who are prohibited from opening accounts at financial institutions. Future Regulatory Uncertainty Because federal
regulation of financial institutions changes regularly and is the subject of constant legislative debate,
the Company cannot forecast how federal regulation of financial institutions may change in the future and impact its operations. Although Congress in recent years has sought to reduce the regulatory burden on financial institutions with respect to the approval of specific transactions, the Company fully expects that the financial institution industry will remain heavily regulated in the near future and that additional laws or regulations may be adopted further regulating specific banking practices. MTC MTC operates as a trust subsidiary of MIG, which is a subsidiary of the Company. It is subject to supervision and regulation by the Virginia State Corporation Commissions Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Board. State and federal regulators have substantial discretion and latitude in the exercise of their supervisory and regulatory authority over MTC, including the statutory authority to promulgate regulations affecting the conduct of business and the operations of MTC. They also have the ability to exercise substantial remedial powers with respect to MTC in the event that it determines that MTC is not in compliance with applicable laws, orders or regulations governing its operations, is operating in an unsafe or unsound manner, or is engaging in any irregular practices. MIA MIA operates as a non-banking subsidiary of MIG, which is a subsidiary of the Company. It is subject to supervision and regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisors Act. The Investment Advisors Act requires registered investment advisers to comply with numerous and pervasive obligations, including, among other things, record-keeping requirements, operational procedures, registration and reporting and disclosure obligations. State regulatory authorities also provide similar oversight and regulation. 17 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS Our operations are subject to many risks that could adversely affect our future financial condition and performance and, therefore, the market value of our securities. The risk factors applicable to us are the following: We may not be able to successfully manage our growth or implement our growth strategies, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. A key aspect of our business strategy is our continued growth and expansion. Our ability to continue to grow depends, in part, upon our ability to: · open new financial service centers; · attract deposits to those locations; and · identify attractive loan and investment opportunities. We may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy if we are unable to identify attractive markets, locations or opportunities to expand in the future. Our ability to manage our growth successfully also will depend on whether we can maintain capital levels adequate to support our growth, maintain cost controls and asset quality and successfully integrate any new financial service centers into our organization. As we continue to implement our growth strategy by opening new financial service centers, we expect to incur construction costs and increased personnel, occupancy and other operating expenses. We generally must absorb those higher expenses while we continue to generate new deposits, and there is a further time lag involved in redeploying new deposits into attractively priced loans and other higher yielding earning assets. Thus, our plans to grow could depress our earnings in the short run, even if we efficiently execute this growth. Our future success is dependent on our ability to compete effectively in the highly competitive banking industry. Our banking subsidiary faces vigorous competition from banks and other financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, savings banks, finance companies and credit unions for deposits, loans and other financial services in our market area. A number of these banks and other financial institutions are significantly larger than we are and have substantially greater access to capital and other resources, as well as larger lending limits and branch systems, and offer a wider array of banking services. Our non-banking subsidiary faces competition from money managers and investment brokerage firms. To a limited extent, our banking subsidiary also competes with other providers of financial services, such as money market mutual funds, brokerage firms, consumer finance companies, insurance companies and governmental organizations which may offer more favorable financing than we can. Many of our non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive regulations that govern us. As a result, these non-bank competitors have advantages over us in providing certain services. This competition may reduce or limit our margins and our market share and may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We may incur losses if we are unable to successfully manage interest rate risk. Our profitability will depend in substantial part upon the spread between the interest rates earned on investments and loans and interest rates paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. 18 Changes in interest rates will affect our operating performance and financial condition in diverse ways including the pricing of securities, loans and deposits, the volume of loan originations in our mortgage banking business and the value we can recognize on the sale of mortgage and home equity loans in the secondary market. We attempt to minimize our exposure to interest rate risk, but we will be unable to eliminate it. Based on our asset/liability position at December 31, 2005, a rise in interest rates would benefit our net interest income in the short term. Our net interest spread will depend on many factors that are partly or entirely outside our control, including competition, federal economic, monetary and fiscal policies, and economic conditions generally. Our concentration in loans secured by real estate may increase our credit losses, which would negatively affect our financial results. We offer a
variety of secured loans, including commercial lines of credit, commercial term loans, real estate,
construction, home equity, consumer and other loans. Many of our loans are secured by real estate (both
residential and commercial) in our market area. At December 31, 2005, approximately 33.8% and 40.2% of our
$524.8 million total loan portfolio were secured by commercial and residential real estate,
respectively. A major change in the real estate market, such as a deterioration in the value of this
collateral, or in the local or national economy, could adversely affect our clients ability to pay
these loans, which in turn could impact us. While we are in one of the fastest growing real estate
markets in the United States, risk of loan defaults and foreclosures are unavoidable in the banking
industry, and we try to limit our exposure to this risk by monitoring our extensions of credit carefully.
We cannot fully eliminate credit risk, and as a result credit losses may occur in the future. We may be adversely affected by economic conditions in our market area. Our banking operations are located primarily in the Virginia counties of Loudoun, Fairfax and Fauquier. Because our lending is concentrated in this market, we will be affected by the general economic conditions in the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Changes in the economy may influence the growth rate of our loans and deposits, the quality of the loan portfolio and loan and deposit pricing. A significant decline in general economic conditions caused by inflation, recession, unemployment or other factors beyond our control would impact the demand for banking products and services generally, which could negatively affect our financial condition and performance. A loss of our senior officers could impair our relationship with our clients and adversely affect our business. Many community banks attract customers based on the personal relationships that the banks officers and customers establish with each other and the confidence that the customers have in the officers. As a result, we depend on the performance of our senior officers. These officers have many years of experience in the banking industry and have numerous contacts in our market area. We believe that their extent of experience and contacts provide us with an advantage over other community banks in our market, who have senior officers with less experience and fewer contacts. We believe that our business model for financial service centers will minimize our clients reliance on the relationship of any one particular officer. While we continue to develop this model, however, the loss of the services of any of our senior officers, or the failure of any of them to perform management functions in the manner anticipated by our board of directors, could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our success will be dependent upon the boards ability to attract and retain quality personnel, including these individuals. 19 If we need additional capital in the future to continue our growth, we may not be able to obtain it on terms that are favorable. This could negatively affect our performance and the value of our common stock. Our business strategy calls for continued growth. We anticipate that we will be able to support this growth through the generation of additional deposits at new branch locations as well as investment opportunities. However, we may need to raise additional capital in the future to support our continued growth and to maintain our capital levels. Our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional securities will depend primarily upon our financial condition and the condition of financial markets at that time. We may not be able to obtain additional capital in the amounts or on terms satisfactory to us. Our growth may be constrained if we are unable to raise additional capital as needed. Our profitability and the value of your investment may suffer because of rapid and unpredictable changes in the highly regulated environment in which we operate. We are subject to extensive supervision by several governmental regulatory agencies at the federal and state levels in the financial services area. Recently enacted, proposed and future legislation and regulations have had, and will continue to have, or may have a significant impact on the financial services industry. These regulations, which are intended to protect depositors and not our shareholders, and the interpretation and application of them by federal and state regulators, are beyond our control, may change rapidly and unpredictably and can be expected to influence our earnings and growth. Our success depends on our continued ability to maintain compliance with these regulations. Some of these regulations may increase our costs and thus place other financial institutions that are not subject
to similar regulation in stronger, more favorable competitive positions. Revenue from our mortgage lending investment is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, decreased economic activity, a slowdown in the housing market or higher interest rates and may adversely impact our profits. Maintaining our revenue stream from our investment in STM is dependent upon its ability to originate loans and sell them to investors. Loan production levels are sensitive to changes in economic conditions and can suffer from decreased economic activity, a slowdown in the housing market or higher interest rates. Generally, any sustained period of decreased economic activity or higher interest rates could adversely affect STMs mortgage originations and, consequently, reduce its income from mortgage lending activities. As a result, these conditions may ultimately adversely affect our net income. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company has adopted a business model whereby all of its financial services will be available at each branch, known as a financial service center location.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The following consolidated summary sets forth the Companys selected financial data for the periods and at the dates indicated. The selected financial data have been derived from the Companys audited financial statements for each of the five years that ended December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001. Years Ended December 31, 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 (In thousands, except ratios and per share data) Income Statement Data: Interest income $36,212 $26,667 $24,780 $23,758 $21,822 Interest expense 11,596 6,033 5,576 6,524 7,814 Net interest income $24,616 $20,634 $19,204 $17,234 $14,008 Provision for loan losses 1,744 796 575 300 300 Net interest income after provision for loan losses $22,872 $19,838 $18,629 $16,934 $13,708 Non-interest income 8,945 8,476 9,499 7,312 4,827 Securities gains (losses) 76 118 422 (73) 384 Non-interest expense 21,920 18,559 16,887 15,526 11,947 Income before income taxes $9,973 $9,873 $11,663 $8,647 $6,972 Income taxes 2,799 2,781 3,444 2,335 1,755 Net income $7,174 $7,092 $8,219 $6,312 $5,217 Per Share Data: (1) Net income, basic $1.89 $1.86 $2.18 $1.73 $1.49 Net income, diluted 1.84 1.81 2.13 1.69 1.46 Cash dividends 0.76 0.76 0.69 0.60 0.50 Book value at period end 14.05 13.54 12.44 11.18 8.66 Balance Sheet Data: Assets (2) $739,911 $606,121 $509,404 $425,284 $354,411 Loans 524,798 348,824 260,717 212,107 196,400 Securities 149,591 174,388 194,581 163,673 124,351 Deposits 551,432 424,879 369,986 328,903 271,731 Shareholders equity 53,476 51,562 47,327 41,410 30,338 Average shares outstanding, basic (1) 3,803 3,804 3,770 3,642 3,492 Average shares outstanding, diluted (1) 3,906 3,920 3,867 3,726 3,566 Performance Ratios: Return on average assets 1.05% 1.29% 1.78% 1.62% 1.67% Return on average equity 13.65% 14.31% 18.27% 17.24% 17.55% Capital to assets 7.23% 8.51% 9.30% 9.74% 8.57% Dividend payout 40.21% 40.76% 31.69% 34.58% 33.53% Efficiency ratio (3) 63.32% 61.92% 57.00% 60.93% 60.40% Capital and Liquidity Ratios: Risk-based capital ratios: Tier 1 capital 11.1% 14.2% 14.4% 14.8% 16.4% Total capital 12.0% 15.1% 15.6% 15.6% 17.3% Leverage 8.7% 10.2% 11.3% 10.6% 12.5% (1) Amounts have been adjusted to reflect a two-for-one stock split of the Common Stock in October 17, 2003. (2) Amounts have been adjusted to reflect the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46R. The common equity portion of the Trust Preferred entities has been deconsolidated and is included in Assets for all years reported. (3) The efficiency ratio is a key performance indicator in the Companys industry. The Company monitors this ratio in tandem with other key indicators for signals of potential trends that should be considered when making decisions regarding strategies related to such areas as asset liability management, business line development, and growth and expansion planning. The ratio is computed by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest 24 income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income, net of any securities gains or losses. It is a measure of the relationship between operating expenses to earnings. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $25,435,000, $21,507,000, $20,135,000, $18,188,000 and $15,015,000. See Item 7., Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation Critical Accounting Policies, below for additional information. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION The following discussion provides information about the major components of the results of operations and financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of the Company. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. It should also be read in conjunction with the Caution About Forward Looking Statements section at the end of this discussion. Overview The Company
is headquartered in Middleburg, Virginia and conducts its primary operations through two wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank and MIG. The Bank is a community bank serving Loudoun, Fairfax and Fauquier County, Virginia with seven full service facilities and one limited service facility. MIG is a newly formed non-bank holding company with two wholly owned subsidiaries, MTC and MIA. MTC is a trust company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. MIA is a registered investment advisor headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia serving clients in 24 states. 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. Interest income depends on the amount of interest-earning assets outstanding during
the period and the interest rates earned thereon. The Banks 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. MIGs
subsidiaries, MTC and MIA, generate fee income 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. In 2005, the
Company continued to realize the benefit of high growth rates in both assets and net interest
income. By December 31, 2005, total assets reached $739.9 million, an increase of
22.1%. Total assets at December 31, 2004 were $606.1 million. Total loans grew 50.4% from
$348.8 million at December 31, 2004 to $524.8 million at December 31, 2005, without sacrificing credit
quality. This is the largest single year increase in portfolio loans in the past 10
years. Considering the current interest rate environment, the Company has been cautious about
the amount and type of loan growth it has added to the loan portfolio which resulted in non-accrual
loans of $88,000 or 0.02% of total loans. Additional staff, a solid local economy and the
relationship with STM contributed to the strong loan growth experienced. At December 31, 2005,
Purcellville, Reston and Warrenton, the financial service centers which were fully operative under the
business model, had outstanding loans of
$22.9 million, $24.5 million and $32.5 million, respectively. Total deposits increased $126.5
million from $424.9 million at December 31, 2004 to $551.4 million at December 31, 2005. Low cost
deposits, including demand checking, interest checking and savings increased $97.8 million or 43.0% from
the year ended December 31, 2004 to $325.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and continue to
drive much of the growth in deposits. Higher cost time deposits, excluding brokered certificates of
deposit, increased 32.7% or $31.6 million from the year ended December 31, 2004 to $128.2 million for the year ended December 25 31, 2005. The increases in
both lower cost and higher cost deposits contributed to the 92.2% increase in interest expense. The
net interest margin declined from 4.29% for the year ended December 31, 2004 to 4.11% for the year ended
December 31, 2005. The decline is attributed to both the lower yields earned on loan growth due to
the flattening of the yield curve and the steady rise in shorter term interest rates on deposits and
borrowed money to fund the earning asset growth. Non-interest expenses grew at a rate of 18.1%
for the 2005 year compared to 2004. Additions to staff to support business development and
retail branching contributed to the increase in salaries and employee benefits. Several experienced
commercial lenders were hired to support business development efforts related to the Reston financial
service center, which opened in November 2004, and the Warrenton financial service center, which
opened in October 2005. Additionally, various retail staff positions were added to the Companys
payroll in efforts to prepare for openings of the new facilities. Net occupancy expenses related to
our branching efforts also contributed to this increase for 2005. Because of the Companys plans for growth and expansion, it is expected that non-interest expense growth rates may exceed this level in the future. The Company remains well capitalized with risk-adjusted core capital and total capital ratios well above the regulatory minimums. Asset quality measures also remained consistently strong throughout the year. The loan loss provision increased primarily due to loan growth. With the creation
of MIG, the Company has expanded the integration of MTC, MIA and the Banks investment services department into a more focused wealth management program for all of the Companys clients. The Company intends to make each of its wealth management services available within all of its financial service centers. Also, through the affiliation with STM, the Bank plans to continue to increase its loan portfolio by purchasing high credit quality, low loan to value first deeds of trusts on residential property. The Bank plans to continue its focus on low cost deposit growth with advertising campaigns and product development. Management has developed a growth strategy that includes expansion into Sterling, Virginia (Loudoun County) in 2007. Other markets under consideration
include Herndon and Chantilly (Fairfax County). Management will look for key lenders in those markets to join the Companys team to generate earning assets and awareness prior to the facility
opening. The Company is not aware of any current recommendations by any regulatory authorities that, if they were implemented, would have a material effect on the registrants liquidity, capital resources or results of operations. Recent Financial Developments Three new deposit products were developed and marketed by the Bank during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2005. The products are high yielding NOW, savings and money market accounts and were designed both to meet the consumers demand for higher interest rates and to allow the Company to remain competitive with other financial institutions operating within the Companys market area. The Company considers the products to be successful in meeting their 2005 growth goals and positively contributing to the years needed deposit growth and reduction in funding costs. At December 31, 2005, the new products had a collective balance of $93.0 million and had a weighted average cost of 3.06%. Renovations were completed on the Warrenton financial service center and operations commenced on October 11, 2005. The leased facility is located at 530 Blackwell Road. The location is fully staffed and offers traditional banking services, including safe deposit, ATM and notary services as well as the full range of the Companys other financial services, including investment advisory and trust management The renovations cost approximately $1.3 million. 26 In September 2005, the Company reevaluated its expansion plans and decided to close its Virginia Beach loan production office in November 2005. The decision was the result of the Companys inability to recruit key personnel within that market. The impact on the Company was a cost of $70,000 net of tax. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company issued $39.0 million in brokered certificates of deposit. At December 31, 2005, $13.9 million of the brokered certificates remained outstanding. These brokered certificates of deposits contributed 11.0% to the 29.8% increase in total deposits at December 31, 2005. The Company had no brokered deposits at December 31, 2004. 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 service center exemplifies the Companys new business model and offers a host of financial services to our clients. The renovations cost approximately $1.6 million. 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 an annual rent of $126,000 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 Critical Accounting Policies General The financial condition and results of operations presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, the accompanying Notes to the 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 Banks financial condition and results of operations. The Critical Accounting Policies require managements 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. 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 they are 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 27 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 loans 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 has
approximately $5.9 million in intangible assets and goodwill at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $338,000
since December 31, 2004. On April 1, 2002, the Company acquired MIA, 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 Nos. 141 and 142 as a
guideline) was completed to determine the appropriate allocation to identified intangibles. The
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 7 years. The remainder of the purchase price
has been allocated to goodwill. Approximately $1.0 million of the $5.9 million in intangible assets and goodwill at December 31, 2005 is attributable to the
Companys investment in MTC. 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 28 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. 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 Companys financial condition and results of operations. Tax-Equivalent Interest Income Tax-equivalent interest income is gross interest income adjusted for the non-taxable interest income earned on municipal securities and corporate securities, which are dividend-received deduction eligible. The effective tax rate of 34% is used in calculating tax equivalent income related to municipal securities and corporate securities. A dividend-received deduction of 70% is used in determining tax-equivalent income related to corporate securities, as well. Results of Operations Net Income Net income for 2005 was $7.2 million, an increase of 1.2% from 2004s net income of $7.1 million. Net income for 2004 decreased 13.4% from 2003s net income of $8.2 million. For 2005, earnings per diluted share were $1.84 compared to $1.81 and $2.13 for 2004 and 2003, respectively. Return on average assets (ROA) measures how effectively the Company employs its assets to produce net income. The ROA for the Company decreased to 1.05% for the year ended December 31, 2005 from 1.29% for the same period in 2004. The decrease in ROA in 2005 and 2004 is the result of increases in capital expenditures and non-interest expenses related to the Banks branching strategy as well as the decline in net interest margin. The ROA for 2003 was 1.78%. Return on average equity (ROE), another measure of earnings performance, indicates the amount of net income earned in relation to the total equity capital invested. ROE decreased to 13.7% for the year ended December 31, 2005. ROE was 14.3% and 18.3% for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. 29 The following table reflects an analysis of the Companys net interest income using the daily average balances of the Companys assets and liabilities as of December 31. Non-accrual loans are included in the loan balances.

(2) Income and yields include dividends on preferred securities that are 70% excludable for tax purposes. 30 Net Interest Income Net interest income represents the principal source of earnings of the Company. Net interest income is the amount by which interest generated from earning assets exceeds the expense of funding those assets. Changes in volume and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as their respective yields and rates, have a significant impact on the level of net interest income. Net interest
income on a fully tax-equivalent basis was $25.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. This is an increase of 18.1% over the $21.5 million reported for the same period in 2004. Net interest income for 2004 increased 7.0% over the $20.1 million reported for 2003. The increase in net interest income in 2005 resulted primarily from the 50.6% growth in loans, net of deferred costs and allowance for loan losses. The net interest margin decreased 18 basis points to 4.11%. 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. Reconciliation of Net Interest Income to Tax Equivalent Net Interest Income For the Year Ended December 31, (In thousands) 2005 2004 2003 GAAP measures: Interest Income Loans $ 28,949 $ 18,613 $ 16,599 Interest Income - Investments & Other 7,263 8,054 8,181 Interest Expense Deposits 6,524 2,870 3,220 Interest Expense - Other Borrowings 5,072 3,163 2,356 Total Net Interest Income $ 24,616 $ 20,634 $ 19,204 Plus: NON-GAAP measures: Tax Benefit Realized on Non-Taxable Interest Income - Loans $ 4 $ 8 $ 10 Tax Benefit Realized on Non-Taxable Interest Income - Municipal Securities 807 854 912 Tax Benefit Realized on Non-Taxable Interest Income - Corporate Securities 8 11 9 Total Tax Benefit Realized on Non-Taxable Interest Income $ 819 $ 873 $ 931 Total Tax Equivalent Net Interest Income $ 25,435 $ 21,507 $ 20,135 The average yield on the loan portfolio increased 45 basis points. Growth in the loan portfolio combined with the increase in loan yields to produce a 55.5% increase in loan interest income. Loan demand continues to remain strong and the Bank has added commercial lenders in markets in which the Bank opened new facilities. The average balance in the securities portfolio decreased by $19.9 million, while the tax-equivalent yield increased eight basis points to 4.92%. The decrease in balance resulted in a decrease in income of $832,000 or 9.4% for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004. The increase in yield helped offset the impact of the decrease in the portfolio balance. 31 The average balance of low cost interest bearing accounts (interest bearing checking, savings and money market accounts) grew 20.5% to $229.6 million at December 31, 2005. The cost of such funding increased 64 basis points during the year ended December 31, 2005. The average balances in certificates of deposit increased 41.2%, while the cost of such funding increased 83 basis points or $2.1 million as a result of the steady rise in short term interest rates. During 2005, the Companys reliance on other funding sources increased on average by $33.6 million with a related increase in interest expense of only $1.9 million. The Company increased its average long term borrowings (from the Federal Home Loan Bank) by $8.4 million. Much of the increase in borrowings was related to the funding the growth in the Banks loan portfolio. Total interest expense for 2005 was $11.6 million, an increase of $5.6 million compared to the total interest expense for 2004. With the anticipation of rising short term interest rates, continued growth in interest bearing deposits and continued reliance on borrowings to fund the Companys asset growth, interest expense is expected to increase. Management expects that the net interest margin will continue to compress during 2006. Based on conservative internal interest rate risk models and the assumption of a sustained rising rate environment, the Company expects net interest income to trend downward slightly throughout the next 12 months as mortgage related assets extend and funding costs continue to rise. The expected decrease to net interest income could be as little as 1.66% or $450,000 in a 12 month period of rising rates of 200 basis points. It is anticipated that increased growth in earning assets will help mitigate the above mentioned impact to the Companys net interest margin. The Asset/Liability Management Committee continues to focus on various strategies to maintain the net interest margin. The increase in net interest income in 2004 resulted from the 18.2% growth in average earning assets. The 57 basis point decrease in earning assets yield was offset somewhat by a 19 basis point decrease in the cost of funding. The net interest margin decreased during 2004 by 46 basis points to 4.29%. The average balance in the securities portfolio increased by $15.4 million while the tax-equivalent yield decreased 54 basis points to 4.84%. The average loan portfolio volume increased 25.3% during 2004. Conversely, the average yield on the loan portfolio decreased 69 basis points. Loan demand was strong throughout 2004. Growth in the loan portfolio helped offset the decline in loan yields to produce a 12.1% increase in loan interest income. The average balance of low cost interest bearing accounts (interest bearing checking, savings and money market accounts) grew 20.7% to $190.5 million at December 31, 2004. The cost of such funding decreased 10 basis points over the year ended December 31, 2004. The average balances in certificates of deposit decreased 1.9%, while the interest expense associated with these deposits decreased 12.2% or $307,000. During 2004, the Companys reliance on other funding sources increased on average by $37.2 million with a related increase in interest expense of only $807,000. The Company increased its average long term borrowings (from the Federal Home Loan Bank) by $14.6 million. Much of the increase in borrowings was related to the funding the growth in the Banks loan portfolio. Total interest expense for 2004 was $6.0 million, a increase of $457,000 compared to the total interest expense for 2003. 32 The
following table analyzes changes in net interest income attributable to changes in the volume of interest-bearing assets and liabilities compared to changes in interest rates. The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each. Non-accruing loans are included in the average outstanding loans.

The Company is committed to making loan loss provisions that maintain an allowance that adequately reflects the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. This commitment is more fully discussed in the Asset Quality section below. 33 Non-interest Income Non-interest income has been and will continue to be an important factor for increasing profitability. Management recognizes this and continues to review and consider areas where non-interest income can be increased. Non-interest income (excluding securities gains and losses) includes fees generated by the retail banking and investment services departments of the Bank as well as by MTC and MIA. Non-interest income increased 5.5% to $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $8.5 million for 2004. Service charges,
which include both deposit fees and certain loan fees, increased 19.8% to $2.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005, compared to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Loan processing fees
and ATM fees increased 115.5% and 19.9%, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to
December 31, 2004. Investment advisory fees of $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 are
from MIA. Investment advisory fees were unchanged in 2005 compared to the 2004 investment
advisory fee amount. MIA is predominantly a fixed income money manager that bases its fee upon the
market value of the accounts under management. MTC produced fiduciary fees that increased 16.4% to
$1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $1.6 million for the same period in
2004. Assets under administration at MTC grew 7.1% or $40.9 million to
$619.2 million at December 31, 2005. Assets under management includes intercompany assets of $123.7
million. Fiduciary fees are also based primarily upon the market value of the accounts under
administration. Investment services fees were relatively unchanged at $676,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $671,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company now has four financial consultants working inside each of the facilities. The equity earnings in STM decreased 7.7% or $128,000 from $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $1.5 million for the 2005 year. STM closed $1.1 billion in loans for the year ended 2005 with 62.2% of its production attributable to purchase money financings. In February 2005, STM experienced a loan charge off which resulted in an approximate decrease in income of $56,000 for the Company. Although STM added lending officers during 2005 in order to increase its production efforts, narrowed margins negatively impacted its 2005 earnings. Income earned from the Banks $10.8 million investment in Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) contributed $458,000 to total other income for the year ended December 31, 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 restructuring of its supplemental retirement plans. Non-interest income decreased 10.8% to $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to $9.5 million for 2003. The equity earnings in STM added $0.28 per diluted share after tax to non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2004. In 2004, STM closed $990.3 million in loans with 66.2% of that production attributable to purchase money financing. Equity in earnings from affiliate were $1.7 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 respectively. Service charges, which include deposit fees and certain loan fees, decreased 8.9% to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Investment advisory fees of $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 are from MIA. Investment advisory fees increased 1.4% in 2004 compared to 2003 investment advisory fee balance. MTC produced fiduciary fees that increased 15.1% to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2003. 34 Investment sales fees decreased 25.5% to $671,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to $901,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003. A strategic decision was made to change the broker dealer clearing provider in the investment services department. For a period of time after the system conversion, the investment services department had only two financial consultants down from five during the first nine months of 2003. This significantly impacted the level of revenue generated by the department when comparing the year over year results. Non-interest income for 2003 increased 29.9% to $9.5 million from $7.3 million in 2002. During 2002 and for the first four months of 2003, mortgage banking income and certain loan fees related to mortgage banking were reported on a gross income basis. All expenses of that department were reported within non-interest expenses. All earnings of that department after April 30, 2003 are being reported as equity in earnings from affiliate, following the transfer of the Banks mortgage banking department to STM. Non-interest Income (Years Ended December 31) 2005 2004 2003 (In thousands) Service charges, commissions and fees $ 2,319 $ 1,936 $ 2,125 Trust fee income 1,824 1,567 1,362 Investment advisory fee income 2,116 2,121 2,091 Fees on loans held for sale - - 878 Commission on investment sales 676 671 901 Equity earnings in affiliate 1,529 1,657 1,940 Bank-owned life insurance 458 90 - Other operating income 23 434 202 Non-interest income $ 8,945 $ 8,476 $ 9,499 Gains (losses) on securities available for sale, net 76 118 422 Total non-interest income $ 9,021 $ 8,594 $ 9,921 Non-interest Expense Non-interest expense increased 18.1% to $21.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $18.6 million for 2004. Included in other operating expenses were one time charges related to severance payments, reductions in cash surrender values related to split dollar insurance policies and some equity adjustments for ownership in BI Investments, the Companys broker-dealer. Impacting salary and benefit expense was a severance payment to an executive who resigned in 2004 which totaled $134,000, net of tax. The growth in salary expense was 21.6% during 2005. Additions to staff to support branching and commercial lending contributed to the increase in salaries and employee benefits during 2005. Net occupancy and equipment expenses increased
25.2% to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005,
compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2004. In
February of 2005, the Company executed a lease for a facility in Warrenton, Virginia. The lease has an original term of 20 years, commenced March 1, 2005, and an annual rent of $126,000 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. The Warrenton financial services center opened in October 2005. Advertising expense increased 2.7% in 2005 to $384,000. During 2005, the Company conducted a campaign that was targeted specifically to grow newly developed deposit products. Computer operations expense increased from $770,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $868,000 for the 35 year ended December 31, 2005. The increase is related to both the increased cost of computer related maintenance contracts and the increased number of the Companys 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 18.9% or $74,000 to $465,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $391,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was mainly the result of the Banks franchise tax, which is paid to the state in lieu of an income tax and is based on the Banks equity capital. Other operating expense increased 6.7% or $263,000 to $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was attributed to increases in accounting/audit fees, courier expenses, and educational expenses, all resulting from the Companys growth. Total non-interest
expenses increased 9.9% or $1.7 million to $18.6 million in 2004. Included in 2004 other operating
expenses were some one-time costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley 404 compliance, supplemental executive
retirement benefits, and equity adjustments for ownership in BI Investments, the Companys
broker-dealer. Also impacting salary and benefit expense in 2004 was a severance payment to the former
executive which was $112,000, net of tax. The growth in salary expense was 8.9% during
2004. Additions to staff to support branching and commercial lending contributed to the increase in
salaries and employee benefits during 2004. Net occupancy and equipment expenses decreased 1.1% to
$2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to $2.3 million for the same period in
2003. The building expansion program, which includes the operations center and the second Leesburg facility, affected net occupancy and equipment expense year over year. Advertising
expense increased in 2004 to $374,000 because the Bank focused more on in house promotions and business
development calling to increase sales rather than paid advertising. Computer operations expense increased from $640,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 to $770,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Non-interest expenses increased 8.8% or $1.4 million to $16.9 million in 2003. This increase resulted from both pressures to provide competitive salary and benefit programs and occupancy and equipment investments to position the Bank for future growth and productivity. Non-interest Expenses (Years Ended December 31) 2005 2004 2003 (In thousands) Salaries and employee benefits $ 13,240 $ 10,887 $ 9,998 Net occupancy and equipment expense 2,798 2,235 2,260 Advertising 384 374 301 Computer operations 868 770 640 Advisory fees 280 327 380 Other taxes 465 391 341 Other operating expenses 3,885 3,575 2,967 Total $ 21,920 $ 18,559 $ 16,887 36 Income Taxes Reported income tax expense was $2.8 million for both 2005 and 2004. The effective tax rate for 2005 was 28.1% compared to 28.2% in 2004 and 29.5% in 2003. Note 10 of the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements provides a reconciliation between the amount of income tax expense computed using the federal statutory rate and the Companys actual income tax expense. Also included in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements is information regarding the principal items giving rise to deferred taxes for the two years ended December 31, 2005. Summary of Financial Results by Quarter The following table summarizes the major components of the Companys results of operations for each quarter of the last three fiscal years. 2005 Quarter Ended (In thousands, except per share data) March 31 June 30 September 30 December 31 Net interest income $ 5,623 $ 6,107 $ 6,352 $ 6,534 Net interest income after provision for loan losses 5,151 5,438 6,035 6,248 Non-interest income 1,976 2,285 2,628 2,056 Net securities gains (losses) - (21) 273 (176) Non-interest expense 5,120 5,315 5,559 5,926 Income before income taxes 2,007 2,387 3,377 2,202 Net income 1,409 1,737 2,409 1,619 Diluted earnings per common share $ 0.36 $ 0.45 $ 0.62 $ 0.41 Dividends per common share 0.19 0.19 0.19 0.19 2004 Quarter Ended (In thousands, except per share data) March 31 June 30 September 30 December 31 Net interest income $ 4,876 $ 5,030 $ 5,206 $ 5,522 Net interest income after provision for loan losses 4,767 4,920 4,917 5,234 Non-interest income 2,043 2,076 2,235 2,122 Net securities gains (losses) 181 (102) 9 30 Non-interest expense 4,261 4,392 4,483 5,423 Income before income taxes 2,730 2,502 2,678 1,963 Net income 1,948 1,728 1,892 1,524 Diluted earnings per common share $ 0.50 $ 0.44 $ 0.48 $ 0.39 Dividends per common share 0.19 0.19 0.19 0.19 37 2003 Quarter Ended (In thousands, except per share data) March 31 June 30 September 30 December 31 Net interest income $ 4,598 $ 4,708 $ 4,903 $ 4,995 Net interest income after provision for loan losses 4,523 4,483 4,778 4,845 Non-interest income 2,376 2,839 2,325 1,961 Net securities gains (losses) 295 146 (54) 35 Non-interest expense 4,319 4,184 4,073 4,312 Income before income taxes 2,875 3,284 2,976 2,529 Net income 2,010 2,302 2,090 1,818 Diluted earnings per common share (1) $ 0.54 $ 0.59 $ 0.54 $ 0.46 Dividends per common share (1) 0.16 0.16 0.19 0.19 (1) Per share information has been adjusted to reflect a two-for-one stock split of the Common Stock in October 2003. Financial Condition Assets The Companys total assets were $739.9 million as of December 31, 2005 up $133.8 million or 22.1% from the $606.1 million level at December 31, 2004. Securities decreased $24.8 million or 14.2% from 2004 to 2005. Total loans, net of allowance for loan losses and deferred loan costs, increased by $175.1 million or 50.7% from 2004 to 2005, while deposits increased $126.6 million or 29.8% during the same period. Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, including long-term borrowings, increased $12.1 million during 2005. It is anticipated that the borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank will continue to rise should deposit growth not provide adequate funding for experienced asset growth. Total shareholders equity at year end 2005 and 2004 was $53.5 million and $51.6 million, respectively. Loans The Companys
loan portfolio is its largest and most profitable component of earning assets, totaling 73.4% of average
earning assets in 2005. The Company continues to emphasize loan portfolio growth and diversification
as a means of increasing earnings while minimizing credit risk. Total loans were $524.8 million at
December 31, 2005, an increase of 50.0% from December 31, 2004s total of $348.8 million. The
Bank hired several experienced lenders with the expansions into the Reston and Warrenton
markets. Additionally, the Bank also purchases residential real estate loans from selected STM
offices within its market area. The loans are secured by first deeds of trusts on the
residential properties and are of good quality investment. At December 31, 2005, there were $72.3 million
of outstanding loans that had been purchased from STM. Each of these factors have contributed
to the strong loan growth during 2005. Total loans increased 33.8% from $260.7 million at December 31, 2003 to $348.8 million at December 31, 2004. The total loan to deposit ratio increased to 95.2% at December 31, 2005, compared to 82.1% at December 31, 2004 and 70.5% at December 31, 2003. 38 Loan Portfolio (At December 31) 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 (In thousands) Commercial, financial and agricultural $ 28,388 $ 27,162 $ 20,360 $ 20,323 $ 22,993 Real estate construction 88,312 45,503 30,239 22,008 24,174 Real estate mortgage: Residential (1-4 family) 174,998 114,418 83,919 74,298 80,824 Home equity lines 35,880 21,247 11,275 10,091 8,271 Non-farm, non-residential (1) 177,198 125,284 100,655 73,164 48,074 Agricultural 2,894 3,135 2,441 482 163 Consumer installment 17,128 12,075 11,828 11,741 11,901 Total Loans $ 524,798 $ 348,824 $ 260,717 $ 212,107 $ 196,400 Add: Deferred loan costs (2) 856 297 - - - Less: Allowance for loan losses 5,143 3,418 2,605 2,307 2,060 Net loans $ 520,511 $ 345,703 $ 258,112 $ 209,800 $ 194,340 (1) This category generally consists of commercial and industrial loans where real estate constitutes a source of collateral. (2) The Company implemented SFAS No. 91 in 2004. At December 31,
2005, residential real estate (1-4 family) portfolio loans constituted 33.3% of total loans and
increased $60.6 million during the year. Of this growth, $46.6 million represents loans that
were purchased from STM. Real estate construction loans consist primarily of pre-sold 1-4 family
residential loans along with a marginal amount of commercial construction loans. Real estate
construction loans increased to $88.3 million at December 31, 2005 and represent 16.8% of the total
loan portfolio. The Companys one time closing construction/permanent loan product competes
successfully in a high growth market like Loudoun County because the Company is local and can respond
quickly to inspections and construction draw requests. Non-farm, non-residential real estate loans
are typically owner-occupied commercial buildings. Non-farm, non-residential loans were 33.8% of
the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2005. The increase in the non-farm, non-residential real estate
loans is the result of the hiring of several commercial business development officers during 2003 and 2004
each of whom have been successful in attracting new business to the Bank. The branch network has also helped to support the loan portfolio diversification, such as increased commercial real estate loans. Home equity lines and agricultural real estate loans were 6.8% and 0.6% of total loans, respectively, at December 31, 2005. The Companys commercial, financial and agricultural loan portfolio consists of secured and unsecured loans to small businesses. At December 31, 2005, these loans comprised 5.4% of the total loan portfolio. This portfolio increased 4.5% in 2005 to $28.4 million. The Companys market area, Loudoun County, had been identified as one of the fastest growing Counties with the fastest rate of job creation in the Country. The markets growth has contributed to the improved local economy, commercial spending and therefore the Banks increased commercial loan demand. Consumer installment loans primarily consist of unsecured installment credit and account for 3.3% of the loan portfolio. Consistent with its focus on providing community-based financial services, the Company generally does not extend loans outside its principal market area. The Companys market area for its lending services encompasses Fairfax, Fauquier and Loudoun Counties, where it operates full service financial centers. 39 The
Companys unfunded loan commitments totaled $93.6 million at December 31, 2005 and $71.0 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in the amount of unfunded commitments is attributed in part to the increase in real estate construction financing as well as client demand for credit line products, primarily home equity lines. At December 31, 2005, the Company had no concentration of loans in any one industry in excess of 10% of its total loan portfolio. However, because of the nature of the Companys market, loan collateral is predominantly real estate. The following table reflects the maturity distribution of selected loan categories: Remaining Maturities of Selected Loan Categories (At December 31, 2005) Commercial, Real Financial and Estate Agricultural Construction (In thousands) Within 1 year $ 4,711 $ 70,243 Variable Rate: 1 to 5 years $ 7,672 $ 9,866 After 5 years 265 2,012 Total $ 7,937 $ 11,878 Fixed Rate: 1 to 5 years $ 12,401 $ 4,148 After 5 years 3,339 2,043 Total $ 15,740 $ 6,191 Total Maturities $ 28,388 $ 88,312 Asset Quality The Company has policies and procedures designed to control credit risk and to maintain the quality of its loan portfolio. These include underwriting standards for new originations and ongoing monitoring and reporting of asset quality and adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Total non-performing assets, which consist of non-accrual loans, restructured loans and foreclosed property, were $88,000 at December 31, 2005. This is a increase of $87,000 from the December 31, 2004 balance of $1,000. The majority of the increase resulted from the addition of one business installment loan to the non-accrual list. Non-performing assets were $365,000 at December 31, 2003. Non-performing Assets Loans are placed
on non-accrual status when collection of principal and interest is doubtful, generally when a loan becomes
90 days past due. There are three negative implications for earnings when a loan is placed on
non-accrual status. First, all interest accrued but unpaid at the date that the loan is placed
on non-accrual status is either deducted from interest income or written off as a loss. Second,
accruals of interest are discontinued until it becomes certain that both principal and interest can be
repaid. Finally, there may be actual losses that require additional provisions for loan losses
be charged against earnings. For real estate loans, upon foreclosure, the balance of the loan is
transferred to Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) and carried at the lower of the
outstanding loan balance or the fair market value of the property based on current appraisals and other current market trends, less selling costs. If a 40 write down of the OREO property is necessary at the time of foreclosure, the amount is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses. A review of the recorded property value is performed in conjunction with normal loan reviews, and if market conditions indicate that the recorded value exceeds the fair market value, additional write downs of the property value are charged directly to operations. Non-performing Assets (At December 31) 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 (Dollars in thousands) Non-accrual loans $ 88 $ 1 $ 365 $ 1,063 $ 79 Restructured loans - - - - - Foreclosed property - - - - - Total non-performing assets $ 88 $ 1 $ 365 $ 1,063 $ 79 Accruing loans greater than 90 days past due $ 31 $ - $ - $ - $ - Allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets 5844% 341800% 714% 217% 2608% Non-performing assets to period end loans 0.02% 0.00% 0.14% 0.50% 0.04% During 2005 and 2004, approximately $1,000 and $0, respectively, in additional interest income would have been recorded if the Companys non-accrual loans had been current and in accordance with their original terms. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had no potential problem loans, which the Bank defines as loans in which management has information about possible credit problems of borrowers that causes serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan payment terms and would require disclosure regardless of non-accrual status. The allowance for loan losses was 5844% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2005, as the Bank had only $88,000 in non-performing assets on that date. At December 31, 2004 and 2003 the allowance for loan losses was 341800% and 714% of non-performing loans. Management evaluates non-performing loans relative to their collateral value and makes appropriate reductions in the carrying value of those loans based on that review. Allowance For Loan Losses
For a discussion of the Companys accounting policies with respect to the allowance for loan losses, see Critical Accounting Policies Allowance for Loan Losses above. 41 The following table depicts the transactions, in summary form, that occurred to the allowance for loan losses in each year presented: Allowance for Loan Losses (Years Ended December 31) 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 (Dollars in thousands) Balance, beginning of period $ 3,418 $ 2,605 $ 2,307 $ 2,060 $ 1,804 Loans charged off: Commercial, financial, and agricultural 5 31 - - - Real estate construction - - - - - Real estate mortgage - - - - 48 Consumer installment 74 137 304 74 35 Total loans charged off $ 79 $ 168 $ 304 $ 74 $ 83 Recoveries: Commercial, financial, and agricultural $ 5 $ 57 $ 2 $ 2 $ - Real estate construction - - - - - Real estate mortgage - 67 - - - Consumer installment 55 61 25 19 39 Total recoveries $ 60 $ 185 $ 27 $ 21 $ 39 Net charge offs (recoveries) 19 (17) 277 53 44 Provision for loan losses 1,744 796 575 300 300 Balance, end of period $ 5,143 $ 3,418 $ 2,605 $ 2,307 $ 2,060 Ratio of allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding at end of period 0.98% 0.98% 1.00% 1.09% 1.05% Ratio of net charge offs to average loans outstanding during period 0.00% -0.01% 0.11% 0.03% 0.02% The allowance for loan losses was $5.1 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $1.7 million from $3.4 million at December 31, 2004. During 2005, the Bank increased its provision to the allowance for loan losses in response to the loan growth experienced during the year. The allowance was $2.6 million at December 31, 2003. In 2005, the Companys net charge-offs (recoveries) increased $36,000 from the previous years net recoveries of $17,000. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.00% and (0.01)% for 2005 and 2004, respectively. The provision for loan losses was $1.7 million for 2005 and $796,000 for 2004. 42 The following table shows the balance and percentage of the Companys allowance for loan losses allocated to each major category of loan: Allocation of Allowance for Loan Losses (At December 31) Commercial, Financial, Real Estate Real Estate Agricultural Construction Mortgage Consumer Allowance Percent of Allowance Percent of Allowance Percent of Allowance Percent of for Loan in for Loan in for Loan in for Loan in Loan Category to Loan Category to Loan Category to Loan Category to Losses Total Loans Losses Total Loans Losses Total Loans Losses Total Loans (Dollars in thousands) 2005 $ 620 5.40% $ 869 16.80% $ 3,392 74.54% $ 262 3.26% 2004 $ 640 7.79% $ 114 13.04% $ 2,441 75.71% $ 223 3.46% 2003 $ 498 7.81% $ 103 11.60% $ 1,857 76.05% $ 147 4.54% 2002 $ 487 9.58% $ 624 10.38% $ 924 74.51% $ 272 5.54% 2001 $ 634 11.71% $ 750 12.31% $ 374 69.92% $ 302 6.06% The Company has allocated the allowance according to the amount deemed reasonably necessary to provide for the possibility of losses being incurred within each of the above categories of loans. The allocation of the allowance as shown in the table above should not be interpreted as an indication that loan losses in future years will occur in the same proportions that they may have in prior years or that the allocation indicates future loan loss trends. Additionally, the proportion allocated to each loan category is not the total amount that may be available for the future losses that could occur within such categories since the total allowance is a general allowance applicable to the total portfolio. Securities The Company manages its investment securities portfolio consistent with established policies that include guidelines for earnings, rate sensitivity, liquidity and pledging needs. The Company holds bonds issued from the Commonwealth of Virginia and its political subdivisions with an aggregate market value of $3.5 million at December 31, 2005. The aggregate holdings of these bonds approximate 6.5% of the Companys shareholders equity. The Company
accounts for securities under FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities. This standard requires classification of investments into three
categories, held to maturity (HTM), available for
sale (AFS), or trading, as further defined in Note 1 to the Companys
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not maintain a trading account and has classified
no securities in this category. HTM securities are required to be carried on the financial statements
at amortized cost. AFS securities are carried on the financial statements at fair value. The
unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred income taxes, are reflected in shareholders
equity. The HTM classification places restrictions on the Companys ability to sell securities
or to transfer securities into the AFS classification. Since the Company desires the flexibility to respond to changing
balance sheet needs through investment portfolio management, it has chosen to classify only a small
portion of its portfolio in this category. At December 31, 2005, 1.2% of the portfolio was classified
as HTM. The Company holds in its loan and securities portfolios investments that adjust or float according to changes in prime lending rate. These holdings are not considered speculative but instead necessary for good asset/liability management. 43 The carrying value of the securities portfolio was $149.6 million at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $24.8 million or 14.2% from the carrying value of $174.4 million at December 31, 2004. The market value of the AFS securities at December 31, 2005 was $147.9 million. The unrealized loss on the AFS securities was $2.9 million at December 31, 2005. This loss was offset by the December 31, 2005 unrealized gain of $1.5 million. The net market value loss at December 31, 2005 is reflective of the continued rise in market interest rates. The net unrealized gain on the AFS securities was $2.1 million at December 31, 2004. Since the Bank anticipates much of the balance sheet growth to be experienced during 2006, if any, to be in the form of net portfolio loans, specific strategies will be executed during the early part of 2006 to maintain the investment portfolio at an amount comparable to the December 31, 2005 balances. Investment Securities Portfolio (Years Ended December 31) The carrying value of securities held to maturity at the dates indicated were as follows: 2005 2004 2003 (In thousands) State and political subdivision obligations $ 1,699 $ 2,699 $ 3,687 Mortgage-backed securities 34 37 41 $ 1,733 $ 2,736 $ 3,728 The carrying value of securities available for sale at the dates indicated were as follows: 2005 2004 2003 (In thousands) U.S. Government securities $ 9,228 $ 12,631 $ 7,831 State and political subdivision obligations 30,145 31,532 34,346 Mortgage-backed securities 87,577 104,343 124,646 Other securities 20,908 23,146 24,030 $ 147,858 $ 171,652 $ 190,853 The following
table indicates the increased return experienced by the Company during 2005 on a tax equivalent
basis. Given the flattening yield curve, the 2005 purchasing strategy, for securities other than
mortgage-backed securities, was focused on replacing called and matured securities with short term
securities. Mortgage-backed securities, which make up 58.6% and 59.9% of the securities portfolio on
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, had the largest decrease in overall balance of $16.8 million from $104.3 million at December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005. The focus on mortgage-backed securities was in maintaining the maturity distribution and proportion with regard to the total securities portfolio without sacrificing yields. Securities with maturities greater than five years total $78.3 million,
of which $45.3 million or 57.8% are mortgage-backed securities with a weighted average yield
of 4.72%. The securities portfolio represents approximately 26.6% of the average earning
assets of the Company. For that reason, it is managed primarily to provide superior returns
without sacrificing interest rate, market and credit risk. Secondarily, through the asset/liability
process, the Company considers the securities portfolio as a liquidity source in the event that funding is
needed quickly within a 30-day period of time. 44 Maturity Distribution and Yields of Investment Securities Taxable-Equivalent Basis (At December 31, 2005) Due in 1 year Due after 1 year Due after 5 years Due after 10 years or less through 5 years through 10 years and Equities Total Amount Yield Amount Yield Amount Yield Amount Yield Amount Yield (Dollars in thousands) Securities held for investment: Mortgage backed securities $ 1 5.84% $ 5 5.84% $ 9 5.84% $ 19 5.84% $ 34 5.84% Tax-exempt securities (1) 422 7.78% 1,277 7.80% - - - - 1,699 7.80% Total $ 423 7.77% $ 1,282 7.79% $ 9 5.84% $ 19 5.84% $ 1,733 7.76% Securities available for sale: U.S. Government securities $ 2,965 3.18% $ 5,875 3.12% $ 388 5.15% $ - - $ 9,228 3.23% Mortgage backed securities 12,518 4.12% 29,807 4.36% 17,395 4.60% 27,857 4.79% 87,577 4.51% Other 474 3.71% 861 7.32% 358 5.97% 13,317 5.89% 15,010 5.90% Corporate preferred - - - - - - 2,064 4.91% 2,064 4.91% Total taxable $ 15,957 3.93% $ 36,543 4.23% $ 18,141 4.64% $ 43,238 5.13% $ 113,879 4.60% Tax-exempt securities (1) 1,070 8.35% 10,607 7.72% 6,473 7.55% 10,402 7.30% 28,552 7.55% Total $ 17,027 4.21% $ 47,150 5.02% $ 24,614 5.41% $ 53,640 5.55% $ 142,431 5.19% Total securities (2) $ 17,450 4.29% $ 48,432 5.09% $ 24,623 5.41% $ 53,659 5.55% $ 144,164 5.21% (1) Yields on tax-exempt securities have been computed on a tax-equivalent basis. (2) Amounts exclude Federal Reserve Stock of $563,400 and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock of $4,864,200. Other Earning Assets The Companys average investments in federal funds sold and money market investments in 2005 were $546,000 and $0, respectively. The Company experienced decreases of $1.7 million and $209,000 in average federal funds sold and money market investments, respectively, from the 2004 amounts. Average investments in federal funds sold and money market investments in 2004 were $2.3 million and $209,000, respectively. The decreases experienced in both the amount of funds available for investment in federal funds sold and money market investments during 2005 and 2004 reflect the Banks need to utilize available funds to support the growth in higher yielding assets like loans and investment securities. Deposits Deposits continue to be an important funding source and primary supply of the Companys growth. The Companys strategy has been to increase its core deposits at the same time that it is controlling its cost of funds. The maturation of the branch network, as well as increased advertising campaigns and bank mergers, have contributed to the significant growth in deposits over the last several years. By monitoring interest rates within the local market and that of alternative funding sources, the Company is able to price the deposits effectively to develop a core base of deposits in each market. 45 The following table is a summary of average deposits and average rates paid on those deposits: Average Deposits and Rates Paid (Years Ended December 31) 2005 2004 2003 Amount Rate Amount Rate Amount Rate (Dollars in thousands) Non-interest-bearing deposits $ 122,978 - $ 107,255 - $ 95,055 - Interest-bearing accounts: Interest checking 95,837 1.16% 67,314 0.17% 46,473 0.12% Regular savings 44,784 1.24% 32,300 0.30% 26,930 0.39% Money market accounts 88,939 0.67% 90,872 0.50% 84,390 0.65% Time deposits: $ 100,000 and over 77,995 3.31% 56,826 2.19% 60,564 2.34% Under $ 100,000 60,764 2.76% 41,433 2.32% 39,559 2.77% Total interest-bearing deposits $ 368,319 1.77% $ 288,745 0.99% $ 257,916 1.25% Total $ 491,297 $ 396,000 $ 352,971 Average total deposits increased 24.1% during 2005, 12.2% during 2004 and 19.2% during 2003. At December 31, 2005, the average balance of non-interest bearing deposits grew 14.7%. During 2005, the Bank had focused some of its media advertising on campaigns specifically targeted to grow its three new deposit products. The products are high yielding NOW, savings and money market accounts. At December 31, 2005, the new products had a collective balance of $93.0 million and had a weighted average cost of 3.06%. The average balance in interest checking and regular savings accounts grew 42.4% and 38.7%, respectively, during 2005. In March of 2004, the Bank developed an interest bearing product that integrates the use of the cash within client accounts at MTC for overnight funding at the Bank. The overall balance of this product was $22.8 million at December 31, 2005 and is reflected in both the interest bearing deposit and securities sold under agreement to repurchase amounts on the balance sheet. At December 31, 2005, $21.2 million was classified as an interest bearing deposit balance. The Company will continue to fund assets primarily with deposits and will focus on core deposit growth as the primary source of liquidity and stability. The Company offers individuals and small to medium-sized businesses a variety of deposit accounts, including demand and interest checking, money market, savings and time deposit accounts. The Company entered the brokered deposits market in April 2005. The Company had $13.8 million in brokered time deposits as of December 31, 2005. 46 The following table is a summary of the maturity distribution of certificates of deposit equal to or greater than $100,000 as of December 31, 2005: Maturities of Certificates of Deposit of $100,000 and Greater (At December 31, 2005) Within Three to Six to Over Percent Three Six Twelve One of Total Months Months Months Year Total Deposits (In thousands) $ 46,120 $ 11,938 $ 9,263 $ 25,796 $ 93,117 16.9% Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Credit Risk and Contractual Obligations The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its clients and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and interest rate swaps. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Banks exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the contract amount of the Banks exposure to off-balance-sheet risk as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, is as follows: 2005 2004 (In thousands) Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: Commitments to extend credit $ 93,572 $ 70,967 Standby letters of credit 3,729 2,683 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each clients credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on managements credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing clients. Those lines of credit may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Bank is committed. 47 Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to clients. The Bank holds certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, and real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. A summary of the Companys contractual obligations at December 31, 2005 is as follows: Payment Due by Period (In thousands) Contractual Obligations Total Less than 1-3 years 3-5 Years More than 5 Years Long-Term Debt Obligations $ 57,500 $ 15,000 $ 27,500 $ 10,000 $ 5,000 Operating Leases 9,729 715 1,376 1,257 6,381 Trust Preferred Capital Notes 15,465 - - - 15,465 Total Obligations $ 82,694 $ 15,715 $ 21,376 $ 18,757 $ 26,846 The Company does not have any capital lease obligations, as classified under applicable FASB statements, or other purchase or long-term obligations. Capital Resources and Dividends The Company has an ongoing strategic objective of maintaining a capital base that supports the pursuit of profitable business opportunities, provides resources to absorb risks inherent in its activities and meets or exceeds all regulatory requirements. The Federal Reserve Board has established minimum regulatory capital standards for bank holding companies and state member banks. The regulatory capital standards categorize assets and off-balance sheet items into four categories that weigh balance sheet assets according to risk, requiring more capital for holding higher risk assets. The minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets is 8.0%, of which at least 4.0% must be Tier 1 capital, composed of common equity and retained earnings. The Company had a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 12.0% and 15.1% at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.1% and 14.2% at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Both ratios exceed the minimum capital requirements adopted by the federal banking regulatory agencies. 48 Analysis of Capital (At December 31) 2005 2004 (Dollars in thousands) Tier 1 Capital: Common stock $ 9,515 $ 9,523 Capital surplus 5,431 5,684 Retained earnings 39,281 34,997 Trust preferred debt 15,000 14,659 Goodwill (5,890) (6,227) Total Tier 1 capital $ 63,337 $ 58,636 Tier 2 Capital: Disallowed trust preferred $ - $ 341 Allowance for loan losses 5,143 3,418 Total tier 2 capital $ 5,143 $ 3,759 Total risk-based capital $ 68,480 $ 62,395 Risk weighted assets $ 572,729 $ 414,755 CAPITAL RATIOS: Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio 11.1% 14.2% Total risk-based capital ratio 12.0% 15.1% Tier 1 capital to average total assets 8.7% 10.2% As noted above, regulatory capital levels for the Company meet those established for well-capitalized institutions. While we are currently considered well-capitalized, we may from time-to-time find it necessary to access the capital markets to meet our growth objectives or capitalize on specific business opportunities. The Companys core equity to asset ratio decreased slightly to 7.2% at December 31, 2005, compared to 8.5% at December 31, 2004. The decrease is the result of the growth experienced in the Banks total assets and liabilities in relation to its total capital in 2005. The primary source of funds for dividends paid by the Company to its shareholders is the dividends received from its subsidiaries. Federal regulatory agencies impose certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and the transfer of assets from the banking subsidiaries to the holding company. Historically, these restrictions have not had an adverse impact on the Companys dividend policy, and it is not anticipated that they will in the future. 49 Short-term Borrowings At December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, short-term borrowings and the related weighted average interest rates were as follows: 2005 2004 2003 Amount Weighted-Average Rate Amount Weighted-Average Rate Amount Weighted-Average Rate (Dollars in thousands) Federal funds purchased $ - 3.44% $ - 1.60% $ 1,500 1.30% Securities sold under agreements to repurchase 34,317 2.69% 40,912 1.67% 13,535 0.74% Federal Home Loan Bank advances 24,100 3.54% 16,000 1.63% 27,250 1.94% Total $ 58,417 $ 56,912 $ 42,285 Federal
funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase have been a significant source
of funds for the Bank. The Company has various unused lines of credit available from certain of its
correspondent banks in the aggregate amount of $127.3 million. These lines of credit, which bear
interest at prevailing market rates, permit the Company to borrow funds in the overnight market, and are
renewable annually subject to certain conditions. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase
include an interest bearing product that the Company has developed which integrates the use of the
cash within client accounts at MTC for overnight funding at the Bank. This account is referred to
as Tredegar Institutional Select. The overall balance of this product was $22.8 million at December
31, 2005, of which $1.6 million is included in securities sold under agreements to repurchase amounts on the balance sheet. The following table shows the distribution of the Companys short-term borrowings and the weighted-average interest rates thereon at the end of each of the last three years. Also provided are the maximum amount of borrowings and the average amount of borrowings as well as weighted-average interest rates for the last three years. Federal Funds Purchased Securities Sold Under Agreements To Repurchase Federal Home Loan Bank Advances (Dollars in thousands) At December 31: 2005 $ - - $ 34,317 $ 24,100 2004 - - 40,912 16,000 2003 1,500 13,535 27,250 Weighted-average interest rate at year end: 2005 0.00% 3.54% 4.44% 2004 0.00% 1.83% 2.44% 2003 0.75% 0.61% 1.15% 50 Federal Funds Purchased Securities Sold Under Agreements To Repurchase Federal Home Loan Bank Advances (Dollars in thousands) Maximum amount outstanding at any month's end: 2005 $ 4,600 $ 42,937 $ 53,200 2004 2,600 45,390 37,250 2003 1,500 21,028 27,250 Average amount outstanding during the year: 2005 $ 987 $ 34,689 $ 30,563 2004 814 30,364 9,841 2003 391 11,287 6,695 Weighted-average interest rate during the year: 2005 3.44% 2.69% 3.54% 2004 1.60% 1.67% 1.63% 2003 1.30% 0.74% 1.94% Liquidity Liquidity represents an institutions 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-term investments, securities classified as available for sale as well as loans and securities maturing within one year. As a result of the Companys management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors requirements and meet its clients credit needs. The Company also maintains additional sources of liquidity through a variety of borrowing arrangements. The Bank maintains federal funds lines with large regional and money-center banking institutions. These available lines total approximately $8 million, none of which were outstanding at December 31, 2005. Federal funds purchased during 2005 averaged $987,000 compared to an average of $814,000 during 2004. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Bank had $34.3 million and $40.9 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings pursuant to securities sold under agreement to repurchase transactions (Repo Accounts), with maturities of one day. The Repo Accounts are long-term commercial checking accounts with average balances that typically exceed $100,000. These accounts include $1.6 million from the non-FDIC portion of the Tredegar Institutional Select. The Bank has a credit line in the amount of $214.9 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. This line may be utilized for short and/or long-term borrowing. The Bank has utilized the credit line for overnight funding throughout 2005 with an average balance of $30.6 million. At December 31, 2005, cash, interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions, federal funds sold, short-terms investments, securities available for sale, loans and securities maturing within one year were 34.8% of total deposits and liabilities. 51 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. FSP 115-1 addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. FSP 115-1 also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The guidance in FSP 115-1 amends FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method
of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. FSP 115-1 applies to investments
in debt and equity securities and cost-method investments. The application guidance within FSP
115-1 includes items to consider in determining whether an investment is impaired, in evaluating
if an impairment is other than temporary and recognizing impairment losses equal to the difference
between the investments cost and its fair value when an impairment is determined. FSP 115-1 is required for all reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted. In May 2005,
the FASB issued 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 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 non-financial 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. In December 2004,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Share-based compensation arrangements include share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees to be valued using a fair value method on the date of grant and expensed based on that fair value over the applicable vesting period. SFAS No. 123R also amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows requiring the
benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as cash flows from financing activities instead of operating activities. The SEC issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, which expresses the SECs views regarding the
interaction between SFAS No. 123R and certain SEC rules and regulations. Additionally, SAB No. 107 provides guidance related to share-based payment transactions for public companies. The Company will be required to apply SFAS No. 123R as of the annual reporting period that begins after September 15, 2005. In December 2003, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer. SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investors initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. It includes loans purchased by the Company or acquired in business combinations. SOP 03-3 does not apply to loans originated by the Company. The Company adopted the provisions of SOP 03-3 effective January 1, 2005. 52 Caution About Forward Looking Statements Certain information contained in this discussion may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by phrases such as the Company expects, the Company believes or words of similar import. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks including, but not limited to, the following factors: · the ability to successfully manage the Companys growth or implement its growth strategies if it is unable to identify attractive markets, locations or opportunities to expand in the future; · the ability to continue to attract low cost core deposits to fund asset growth; · the successful management of interest rate risk; · maintaining cost controls and asset qualities as the Company opens or acquires new facilities; · maintaining capital levels adequate to support the Companys growth; · changes in general economic and business conditions in the Companys market area; · changes in interest rates and interest rate policies; · reliance on the Companys management team, including its ability to attract and retain key personnel; · risks inherent in making loans such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values; · competition with other banks and financial institutions, and companies outside of the banking industry, including those companies that have substantially greater access to capital and other resources; · demand, development and acceptance of new products and services; · problems with technology utilized by the Company; · changing trends in customer profiles and behavior; · changes in banking and other laws and regulations applicable to the Company; and · other factors described in Item 1A., Risk Factors, above. Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reliable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. ITEM 7A. 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 Companys primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk, though it should be noted that the assets under management by MTC are affected by equity price risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of the Companys 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 53 guidelines and strategies that govern the Companys 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 Companys financial instruments also change, affecting net interest income, the primary component of the Companys 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 Companys 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 historic low in interest rates for the 2004 fiscal year, the model assumed only
a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates. The following reflects the range of the Companys
net interest income sensitivity analysis during the fiscal years of 2005
and 2004 as compared to the 10% Board-approved policy limit. 2005 Rate Change Estimated Net Interest Income Sensitivity High Low Average + 200 bp (3.14%) (1.66%) (2.45%) - 200 bp 1.72% (0.24%) 0.57% 2004 Rate Change Estimated Net Interest Income Sensitivity High Low Average + 200 bp (2.05%) (0.74%) (1.40%) - 100 bp (1.16%) (0.52%) 0.84% At the end of 2005, the Companys 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 1.66%. 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 1.72%. 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 Companys balance sheet has grown by $133.8 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. Overall, the Bank continues to have minimal interest rate risks to either falling or rising interest rates. Based upon final 2005 simulation, the Bank could expect an average negative impact to net interest income of $450,000 over the next 12 54 months if rates rise 200 basis points. If rates were to decline 200 basis points, the Bank could expect an average positive impact to net interest income of $465,000 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 Companys specific goal is to lower (where possible) the cost of its borrowed funds. 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 $15,000,000 variable rate advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank. On
that same date, the Company also entered into an interest rate swap with SunTrust Bank. The total
notional amount of the swap is $15,000,000. This cash flow hedge effectively changes the
variable-rate interest on the Federal Home Loan Bank advance to a fixed-rate of interest. Under the
terms of the swap (which expires 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. The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a Company 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 including 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 anticipation of changes in interest rates. ITEM 8.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE There were no changes in or disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure during the last two fiscal years. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Company
maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that are designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SECs rules and forms, and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure
controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally,
in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in
evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of the Companys financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect managements judgments and estimates concerning the effects of events and transactions that are accounted for or disclosed. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining an effective internal control structure over financial reporting. The Companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the Companys ability to record, process, summarize and report reliable financial data. The internal control system contains monitoring mechanisms, and appropriate actions are taken to correct identified deficiencies. Management believes that internal controls over financial reporting, which are subject to scrutiny by management and the Companys internal auditors, support the integrity and reliability of the financial statements. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control system, including the possibility of human 56 error and the circumvention or overriding of internal controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. In addition, because of changes in conditions and circumstances, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time. In order to insure that the Companys internal control structure over financial reporting is effective, management assessed these controls as they conformed to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and related call report instructions as of December 31, 2005. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting as described in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes that the Company maintained effective internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. Managements assessment did not determine any material weakness within the Companys internal control structure. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 have been audited by the independent registered public accounting firm of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. Personnel from that firm were given unrestricted access to all financial records and related data, including minutes of all meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees thereof. Management believes that all representations made to the independent registered public accounting firm auditors were valid and appropriate. The resulting report from Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. accompanies the financial statements. Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C. has also issued an attestation report on managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. That report has also been made a part of the consolidated financial statements of the Company. See Item 8., Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, above for more information. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting. 57 ITEM 9B.

and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005. We also have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report Regarding the Effectiveness of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting, that Middleburg Financial Corporation and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Middleburg
Financial Corporation and subsidiaries' management
is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting,
and for their assessment of the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements, an opinion on management's assessment, and an opinion on the
effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of financial statements included 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. 1 A company's
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,
use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Middleburg Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, managements assessment that Middleburg Financial Corporation and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Furthermore, in our opinion,
Middleburg Financial Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies Middleburg Financial Corporations banking subsidiary, Middleburg Bank, grants commercial, financial, agricultural, residential and consumer loans to customers principally in Loudoun County, Fauquier County and Fairfax County, Virginia. The loan portfolio is well diversified and generally is collateralized by assets of the customers. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors, Inc., non-banking subsidiaries of Middleburg Financial Corporation, offer a comprehensive range of fiduciary and investment management services to individuals and businesses. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U. S. generally accepted accounting principles and to accepted practice within the banking industry. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of Middleburg Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Middleburg Bank, Middleburg Investment Group, Inc., Middleburg Trust Company, Middleburg Investment Advisors, Inc., Middleburg Bank Service Corporation, ICBI Capital Trust I, and MFC Capital Trust II include the accounts of all companies. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. FASB Interpretation No. 46R requires that the Company no longer eliminate through consolidation the equity investments in ICBI Capital Trust I and MFC Capital Trust II, which approximated $465,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The subordinate debt of the trust preferred entities is reflected as a liability of the Company. Securities Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and recorded at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity or trading, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as available for sale and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other than temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade
date and are determined using the specific identification method. 9 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Loans Held for Sale Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. The corporation does not retain servicing rights on mortgage loans sold. Loans The Companys subsidiary bank grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans throughout Loudoun County and Fauquier County, Virginia. The ability of the debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. 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 the process of collection. 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 managements 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 borrowers 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. 10 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect managements estimate of probable losses. The unallocated
component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Companys subsidiary bank 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, the reasons for the delay,
the borrowers prior payment record, and the 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 loans effective interest rate, the loans obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Companys subsidiary bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures. Loan Fees and Costs The Company adopted SFAS No. 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Cost of Leases, effective May 1, 2004. Accordingly, loan origination and commitment fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment of the loan yield over the life of the related loan. Prior to this date, the fees and costs were being recognized as collected and incurred, which did not produce results that are materially different from the recognition method adopted May 1, 2004. Premises and Equipment Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed principally on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Years Buildings and improvements 10-40 Furniture and equipment 3-15 11 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are charged to operations and major improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and gain or loss is included in operations. Other Real Estate Real estate acquired by foreclosure is carried at the lower of cost or fair market value less an allowance for estimated selling expenses on the future disposition of the property. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation are included in the net expenses from other real estate. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Identifiable Assets, effective January 1, 2003. Accordingly, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful life, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. Testing performed at December 31, 2005 did not indicate impairment. Additionally, under SFAS No. 142, acquired intangible assets (such as customer relationships and non-compete agreements) are separately recognized and amortized over their useful life ranging from 7 to 15 years. Income Taxes Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the balance sheet method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. Trust Company Assets Securities and other properties held by the Trust Company in a fiduciary or agency capacity are not assets of the Company and are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Stock Split On September 11, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 2-for-1 stock split of the Companys common stock. The effective date of the stock split was October 17, 2003. All per share information for all periods presented has been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options, and are determined using the treasury stock method. All amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the 2-for-1 stock split in 2003. 12 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, other temporary investments and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, goodwill and intangibles. Advertising Costs The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Comprehensive Income Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income are components of comprehensive income. Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase Securities sold under agreements to repurchase generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The Company may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. Derivative Financial Instruments As part of the Companys asset/liability management, the Company uses interest rate swaps to modify interest rate characteristics of various balance sheet accounts. Derivatives that are used as part of the asset/liability management process are linked to specific assets or liabilities and have high correlation between the contract and the underlying item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedge period. Swaps are accounted for on the accrual method. Under that method, the interest component associated with the contract is recognized over the life of the contract in net interest income. 13 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Company enters into commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments). Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 60 to 120 days. The Company protects itself from changes in interest rates through the use of best efforts forward delivery commitments, whereby the Company commits to sell a loan at the time the borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the buyer has assumed interest rate risk on the loan. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to current year provisions. Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plan At December 31, 2005, the Company had a stock-based employee compensation plan which is described more fully in Note 8. The Company accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB 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 those plans 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 SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

The carrying value of securities pledged to qualify for fiduciary powers, to secure public monies and for other purposes as required by law amounted to $93,655,213 and $100,059,133 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 17 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements At December 31, 2005 and 2004, investments in an unrealized loss position that are temporarily impaired are as follows: Less Than 12 Months 12 Months or More Unrealized Unrealized 2005 Fair Value (Losses) Fair Value (Losses) (In thousands) U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies $ 1,388 $ (11) $ 7,840 $ (175) Obligations of states and political subdivisions 1,924 (41) - - - - Mortgage-backed securities 39,441 (994) 36,529 (1,644) Corporate preferred - - - - 2,064 (26) Other 49 (1) - - - - Total temporarily impaired securities $ 42,802 $ (1,047) $ 46,433 $ (1,845) 2004 U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies $ 12,283 $ (131) $ 96 $ (4) Obligations of states and political subdivisions 700 (2) 98 (2) Mortgage-backed securities 32,959 (294) 28,739 (833) Corporate preferred 1,993 (36) - - (10) Other 261 - - 100 - - Total temporarily impaired securities $ 48,196 $ (463) $ 29,033 $ (849) 18 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The unrealized losses in the portfolio as of December 31, 2005 are considered temporary and are a result of the current interest rate environment and not increased credit risk. Of the temporarily impaired securities, 82 are investment grade and one is non-rated. The federal agency mortgage-backed securities have the largest temporary impairment but are issued by government sponsored enterprises (Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation). The non-rated security is a corporate trust preferred security that has a par value at maturity of $90,000. Market prices change daily and are affected by conditions beyond the control of the Company. Although
the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until the temporary loss is
recovered, decisions by management may necessitate the sale before the loss is fully recovered. Investment
decisions reflect the strategic asset/liability objectives of the Company. The
investment portfolio is analyzed frequently and managed to provide an overall positive impact to the Companys income statement and balance sheet. Note 3.

No interest income on impaired loans was recognized in 2005, 2004 and 2003. Non-accrual loans excluded from impaired loan disclosure under SFAS No. 114 amounted to $88,000 and $1,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. If interest on these loans had been accrued, such income would have approximated $1,196 and $0 for 2005 and 2004, respectively. There were $31,000 and $15,000 in loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest on December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Note 5.

The aggregate amount of jumbo time deposits, each with a minimum denomination of $100,000, was approximately $93,117,000 and $62,719,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. At December 31, 2005, the scheduled maturities of time deposits (in thousands) are as follows: 2006 $ 89,021 2007 20,824 2008 9,065 2009 13,673 2010 14,133 Thereafter 2,505 $ 149,221 At December 31, 2005 and 2004, overdraft demand deposits reclassified to loans totaled $233,000 and $186,000, respectively. 21 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 7. Borrowings The Company has a $214,580,000 line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta available for short and long-term borrowings. Advances on the line are secured by all of the Companys first lien residential real estate loans on one-to-four unit single-family dwellings and by eligible commercial real estate loans. As of December 31, 2005, the book value of these loans totaled approximately $288,093,000. The amount of the available credit is limited to seventy five percent of qualifying collateral for the first lien residential real estate loans and fifty percent of the eligible commercial real estate loans. Any borrowings in excess of the qualifying collateral require pledging of additional assets. At December 31, 2005, the Company had short-term advances outstanding from the Federal Home Loan Bank of $24,100,000. The Companys long-term debt with the Federal Home Loan Bank of $57,500,000 at December 31, 2005 matures through 2014. During 2005 and 2004, the interest rate ranged from 1.78 percent to 6.16 percent and the weighted average rate was 3.88 percent.

Note 8. Stock Option Plan The Company sponsors a stock option plan, which provides for the granting of both incentive and nonqualified stock options. Under the plan, the Company may grant options to its officers and employees for up to 380,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Companys stock on the date of grant. The options vest over the three years following the date of grant. All options expire ten years from the grant date. The Company did not grant any options during the year ended December 31, 2005. 22 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Options outstanding at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 are summarized as follows: 2005 2004 2003 Weighted Weighted Weighted Average Average Average Exercise Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price Shares Price Outstanding at beginning of year 220,605 $ 17.65 220,730 $ 17.00 182,750 $ 14.90 Granted - - - - 9,000 39.40 47,000 23.83 Exercised (8,000) 11.37 (5,951) 22.19 (9,020) 10.00 Forfeited (1,500) 37.80 (3,174) 25.87 - - - - Outstanding at end of year 211,105 $ 17.74 220,605 $ 17.65 220,730 $ 17.00 Options exercisable at year end 208,425 $ 17.47 201,917 $ 16.63 164,888 $ 14.84 Weighted average fair value of options granted during the year $ - - $ 10.58 $ 5.74 The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions. 2004 2003 Dividend yield 2.20% 2.69% Expected life 10 years 10 years Expected volatility 20.07% 19.84% Risk-free interest rate 4.40% 4.43% 23 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements As of December 31, 2005, options outstanding and exercisable are summarized as follows: Range of Remaining Exercise Options Contractual Options Prices Outstanding Life Exercisable $10.63 33,950 4.9 33,950 11.75 31,000 2.9 31,000 12.25 5,155 3.8 5,155 12.38 40,000 3.9 40,000 22.00 34,000 7.3 34,000 22.75 55,000 6.3 55,000 37.00 4,000 7.7 4,000 39.40 8,000 8.0 5,320 Note 9. Employee Benefit Plans The Company has a noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees. The Company funds pension costs in accordance with the funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Information about the plan (valued at September 30 of each year) follows: 2005 2004 2003 (In Thousands) Change in Benefit Obligation Benefit obligation, beginning of year $ 3,456 $ 2,676 $ 2,009 Service cost 593 406 312 Interest cost 216 181 146 Actuarial loss (gain) (16) 385 214 Benefits paid (235) (192) (5) Benefit obligation, end of year $ 4,014 $ 3,456 $ 2,676 Change in Plan Assets Fair value of plan assets, beginning of year $ 4,093 $ 3,530 $ 2,055 Actual return on plan assets 485 303 355 Employer contributions - - 452 1,125 Benefits paid (235) (192) (5) Fair value of plan assets, ending $ 4,343 $ 4,093 $ 3,530 Funded status $ 330 $ 637 $ 854 Unrecognized net actuarial loss 922 1,155 899 Unrecognized net obligation at transition (12) (16) (20) Unrecognized prior service cost (196) (197) (197) Prepaid benefit cost included in other assets $ 1,044 $ 1,579 $ 1,536 24 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The accumulated benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plan was $3,137,000, $2,720,000 and $2,222,000 at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. 2005 2004 2003 (In Thousands) Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost Service cost $ 592 $ 406 $ 312 Interest cost 216 181 146 Expected return on plan assets (309) (205) (148) Amortization of prior service cost (1) (1) (1) Amortization of net obligation at transition (4) (4) (4) Recognized net actuarial loss 42 31 35 Net periodic benefit cost $ 536 $ 408 $ 340 Weighted-Average Assumptions for Benefit 2005 2004 2003 Obligations as of September 30 Discount rate 6.00% 6.25% 6.75% Expected return on plan assets 8.50% 8.50% 8.50% Rate of compensation increase 4.00% 4.00% 4.00% Weighted-Average Assumptions for Net Periodic 2005 2004 2003 Benefit Costs as of September 30 Discount rate 6.25% 6.75% 7.25% Expected return on plan assets 8.50% 8.50% 9.00% Rate of compensation increase 4.00% 4.00% 4.00% Long-Term Rate of Return The plan sponsor selects the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption in consultation with their investment advisors and actuary. This rate is intended to reflect the average rate of earnings expected to be earned on the funds invested to provide plan benefits. Historical performance is reviewed with respect to real rates of return (net of inflation) for the major asset classes held or anticipated to be held by the trust, and for the trust itself. Undue weight is not given to recent experience that may not continue over the measurement period, with higher significance placed on current forecasts of future long-term economic conditions. Because assets are held in a qualified trust, anticipated returns are not reduced for taxes. Further, solely for this purpose, the plan is assumed to continue in force and not terminate during the period which assets are invested. However, consideration is given to the potential impact of current and future investment policy, cash flow into and out of the trust, and expenses (both investment and non-investment) typically paid from plan assets to the extent such expenses are not explicitly estimated within periodic cost. 25 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Asset Allocation The pension plans weighted-average asset allocations at September 30, 2005 and 2004, by asset category are as follows: September 30, 2005 2004 Mutual funds - fixed income 34% 35% Mutual funds - equity 66% 65% Total 100% 100% The trust fund is sufficiently diversified to maintain a reasonable level of risk without imprudently sacrificing return, with a targeted asset allocation of 40% fixed income and 60% equities. The investment manager selects investment fund managers with demonstrated experience and expertise and funds with demonstrated historical performance for the implementation of the plans investment strategy. The investment manager will consider both actively and passively managed investment strategies and will allocate funds across the classes to develop an efficient investment structure. It is the responsibility of the trustee to administer the investments of the trust within reasonable costs, being careful to avoid sacrificing quality. These costs include, but are not limited to, management and custodial fees, consulting fees, transaction costs and other administrative costs chargeable to the trust. The Company expects to contribute $428,000 to its pension plan in 2006. Estimated future benefit payments (in thousands), which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are as follows: 2006 $ 1 2007 34 2008 35 2009 92 2010 177 2011-2015 1,365 401(k) Plan The Company has a 401(k) plan whereby a majority of employees participate in the plan. Employees may contribute up to 100 percent of their compensation subject to certain limits based on federal tax laws. The Company makes matching contributions equal to 50 percent of the first 6 percent of an employees compensation contributed to the plan. Matching contributions vest to the employee equally over a five-year period. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, expense attributable to the plan amounted to $146,000, $137,000 and $122,000, respectively. 26 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Deferred Compensation Plans Two deferred compensation plans were adopted for the President and two Executive Officers of the Company. Benefits are to be paid in monthly installments commencing at retirement and ending upon the death of the officer. The agreement provides that if employment is terminated for reasons other than death or disability prior to age 65, the amount of benefits would be reduced. The deferred compensation expense for 2005, 2004 and 2003, based on the present value of the retirement benefits, was $353,819, $182,583 and $57,881, respectively. The plans are unfunded; however, life insurance has been acquired on the life of the employees in amounts sufficient to help meet the costs of the obligations. Note 10. Income Taxes Net deferred tax liabilities consist of the following components as of December 31, 2005 and 2004: 2005 2004 (In Thousands) Deferred tax assets: Allowance for loan losses $ 1,668 $ 1,095 Deferred compensation 267 146 Securities available for sale 457 - - $ 2,392 $ 1,241 Deferred tax liabilities: Deferred loan fees, net $ 291 $ 101 Property and equipment 461 493 Prepaid pension costs 353 535 Securities available for sale - - 700 Interest rate swap 70 - - $ 1,175 $ 1,829 Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ 1,217 $ (588) 27 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The provision for income taxes charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 consists of the following: 2005 2004 2003 (In Thousands) Current tax expense $ 3,517 $ 3,030 $ 3,219 Deferred tax provision (benefit) (718) (249) 225 $ 2,799 $ 2,781 $ 3,444 The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, due to the following: 2005 2004 2003 (In Thousands) Computed "expected" tax expense $ 3,391 $ 3,357 $ 3,965 (Decrease) in income taxes resulting from: Tax-exempt interest income (506) (553) (588) Other, net (86) (23) 67 $ 2,799 $ 2,781 $ 3,444 Note 11. Related Party Transactions The Companys subsidiary bank has had, and may be expected to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors, principal officers, their immediate families and affiliated companies in which they are principal stockholders (commonly referred to as related parties), on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others. These persons and firms were indebted to the subsidiary bank for loans totaling $1,023,000 and $2,093,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During 2005, total principal additions were $1,688,000 and total principal payments were $2,758,000. Note 12. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various commitments and contingent liabilities, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Company does not anticipate any material loss as a result of these transactions. See Note 15 with respect to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. 28 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Company must maintain a reserve against its deposits in accordance with Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Act. For the final weekly reporting period in the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the aggregate amount of daily average required reserves for each year was approximately $25,000. Note 13. Earnings Per Share The following shows the weighted average number of shares used in computing earnings per share and the effect on weighted average number of shares of diluted potential common stock. Potential dilutive common stock had no effect on income available to common stockholders. All amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the 2-for-1 stock split in 2003. 2005 2004 2003 Per Per Per Share Share Share Shares Amount Shares Amount Shares Amount Earnings per share, basic 3,803,000 $ 1.89 3,804,000 $ 1.86 3,770,000 $ 2.18 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 103,000 116,000 97,000 Earnings per share, diluted 3,906,000 $ 1.84 3,920,000 $ 1.81 3,867,000 $ 2.13 In 2005, 2004 and 2003, stock options representing 13,125 shares, 12,625 shares and 13,750 shares, respectively, were not included in the calculation of earnings per share because they would have been antidilutive. Note 14. Retained Earnings Transfers of funds from the banking subsidiary to the Parent Company in the form of loans, advances and cash dividends are restricted by federal and state regulatory authorities. As of December 31, 2005, the aggregate amount of unrestricted funds which could be transferred from the Companys subsidiaries to the Parent Company, without prior regulatory approval, totaled $17,834,000 or 33.3% of the total consolidated net assets. Note 15. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Credit Risk The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and interest rate swaps. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the
Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. 29 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the contract amount of the Company's exposure to off-balance-sheet risk as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, is as follows: 2005 2004 (In Thousands) Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: Commitments to extend credit $ 93,572 $ 70,967 Standby letters of credit 3,729 2,683 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable,
inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. Those lines of credit may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, and real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. 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 Companys specific goal is to lower (where possible) the cost of its borrowed funds. 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 $15,000,000 variable rate advance from FHLB. On that same date, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with SunTrust Bank. The total notional amount of the swap is $15,000,000. 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 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 reprices quarterly. 30 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 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 assumes no ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship. The Company has approximately $9,618,000 in deposits in financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) at December 31, 2005. Note 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Interest Rate Risk The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Companys various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the
instrument. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial
instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value
amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: Cash and Short-Term Investments For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Securities For securities held for investment purposes, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. The carrying value of restricted stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the applicable entities. Loans Held for Sale Fair values of loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices. Loans For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for other loans were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered. 31 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Accrued Interest The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair values. Deposits and Borrowings The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. For all other deposits and borrowings, the fair value is determined using the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate was equal to the rate currently offered on similar products. Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit worthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of standby letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the fair values of loan commitments and standby letters of credit were deemed immaterial. Fair values for off-balance-sheet derivative financial instruments, for other-than-trading purposes, are based upon quoted market prices. The estimated fair values, and related carrying amounts, of the Company's financial instruments are as follows: 2005 2004 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value (In Thousands) Financial assets: Cash and short-term investments $ 15,625 $ 15,625 $ 15,007 $ 15,007 Securities 149,591 149,616 174,388 174,483 Loans held for sale - - - - 21,307 21,307 Loans 520,511 506,093 345,406 344,138 Accrued interest receivable 3,035 3,035 2,430 2,430 Interest rate swap 206 206 - - - - Financial liabilities: Deposits $ 551,432 $ 550,200 $ 424,879 $ 424,656 Securities sold under agreements to repurchase 34,317 34,280 40,912 40,899 Federal Home Loan Bank advances 24,100 24,100 16,000 16,000 Long-term debt 57,500 57,250 53,500 53,722 Trust preferred capital notes 15,465 15,646 15,465 15,627 Accrued interest payable 1,010 1,010 799 799 32 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Company
assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its
normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company's financial instruments will change
when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary
to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to
prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling 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. Note 17. Capital Requirements The Company
and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Companys and Banks financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's and the Banks assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components,
risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are
not applicable to bank holding companies. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of December 31, 2005, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category. 33 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Companys and the Banks actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table. Minimum To Be Well Capitalized Under Minimum Capital Prompt Corrective Actual Requirement Action Provisions Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (Amount in Thousands) As of December 31, 2005: Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets): Consolidated $ 68,480 12.0% $ 45,818 8.0% N/A N/A Middleburg Bank $ 66,685 11.7% $ 45,709 8.0% $ 57,136 10.0% Tier 1 Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets): Consolidated $ 63,337 11.1% $ 22,909 4.0% N/A N/A Middleburg Bank $ 61,542 10.8% $ 22,854 4.0% $ 34,281 6.0% Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets): Consolidated $ 63,337 8.7% $ 29,011 4.0% N/A N/A Middleburg Bank $ 61,542 8.5% $ 28,935 4.0% $ 36,169 5.0% As of December 31, 2004: Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets): Consolidated $ 62,395 15.1% $ 33,180 8.0% N/A N/A Middleburg Bank $ 58,842 14.3% $ 32,931 8.0% $ 41,164 10.0% Tier 1 Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets): Consolidated $ 58,636 14.2% $ 16,590 4.0% N/A N/A Middleburg Bank $ 55,424 13.5% $ 16,466 4.0% $ 24,698 6.0% Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets): Consolidated $ 58,636 10.2% $ 23,347 4.0% N/A N/A Middleburg Bank $ 55,424 9.7% $ 22,914 4.0% $ 28,643 5.0% 34 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 18. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company has adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which prescribes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 discontinue the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives but require at least an annual impairment review, and more frequently if certain impairment indicators are in evidence. Based on the testing for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, there were no impairment charges for 2005, 2004 or 2003. Identifiable intangible assets are being amortized over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from 7 to 15 years. Information
concerning goodwill and intangible assets is presented in the following table: December 31, 2005 December 31, 2004 Gross Gross Carrying Accumulated Carrying Accumulated Value Amortization Value Amortization Identifiable intangibles $ 3,734,000 $ 1,266,071 $ 3,734,000 $ 928,452 Unamortizable goodwill 3,421,868 - - 3,421,868 - - Amortization expense of core deposit intangibles for each of the three years ended December 31, 2005 totaled $337,619.

Trust Preferred Capital Notes On November 14, 2001, ICBI Capital Trust I, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable Capital Securities. On November 28, 2001, $10 million of trust preferred securities were issued through a pooled underwriting totaling approximately $750 million. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of interest. During 2005, the interest rates ranged from 6.44% to 8.42%. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the weighted-average interest rate was 7.04%. The securities have a mandatory redemption date of December 8, 2031,
and are subject to varying call provisions beginning December 8, 2006. The principal asset of the Trust is $10.3 million
of the Companys junior subordinated debt securities with like maturities and like interest rates to the Capital Securities. On December 12, 2003, MFC Capital Trust II, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable Capital Securities. On December 19, 2003, $5 million of trust preferred securities were issued through a pooled underwriting totaling approximately $344 million. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of interest. 35 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements During 2005, the interest rates ranged from 5.01% to 7.09%. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the weighted-average interest rate was 6.20%. The securities have a mandatory redemption date of January 23, 2034, and are subject to varying call provisions beginning January 23, 2009. The principal asset of the Trust is $5.2 million of the Companys junior subordinated debt securities with like maturities and like interest rates to the Capital Securities. The Trust Preferred Securities may be included in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy determination purposes up to 25% of Tier 1 capital after its inclusion. The portion of the Trust Preferred not considered as Tier 1 capital may be included in Tier 2 capital. On December 31, 2005, all of the Companys Trust Preferred Securities are included in Tier I capital. The obligations of the Company with respect to the issuance of the Capital Securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trusts obligations with respect to the Capital Securities. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related Capital Securities. Note 20. Acquisition of Mortgage Company Interest On April 15, 2003, the Middleburg Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired 40% of the issued and outstanding membership interest units of Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC. The Bank acquired the membership interest units in equal proportion from the seven members of Southern Trust, all of whom own, in the aggregate, the remaining issued and outstanding units of Southern Trust. Southern Trust is a regional mortgage lender headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia and has offices in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. The purchase price that the Company and the Bank paid in connection with the Acquisition consisted of
approximately $6.0 million in cash and 44,359 shares of common stock. The Company is accounting for its investment in Southern Trust by the equity method of accounting under which the Companys share of the net income of the affiliate is recognized as income in the Companys income statement and added to the investment account, and dividends received from the affiliate are treated as a reduction of the investment account. The investment in affiliate totaling $9.9 million at December 31, 2005 is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. 36 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 21.
