MIDDLEBURG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDAIRIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
(Unaudited)

Note 1.                                General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2009 Form 10-K”) of Middleburg Financial Corporati on (the “Company”).  The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date these financial statements were issued.

On October 27, 2010, the Company and David L. Sokol entered into the First Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement (the “First Amendment”), amending the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 27, 2009, between the Company and Mr. Sokol (the “Original Agreement”).  The Original Agreement provided, among other things, that Mr. Sokol could not beneficially own, individually or through an affiliated group or entity, more than 20% of the Company’s common stock without the prior consent of the Company’s board of directors. The First Amendment increased this beneficial ownership limitation from 20% to 30%. The First Amendment does not otherwise amend the Original Agreement. As of September 30, 2010, Mr. Sokol beneficially owned approximately 19.84% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. 0; A copy of the First Amendment is included as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 28, 2010.

  Management has concluded there were no additional material subsequent events to be disclosed at this time.


Note 2.                                Stock–Based Compensation Plan

As of September 30, 2010, the Company sponsored one stock-based compensation plan (the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan), which provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, performance share awards, incentive awards and stock units.  The 2006 Equity Compensation Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting held on April 26, 2006 and has succeeded the Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan.  Under the plan, the Company may grant stock-based compensation to its directors, officers, employees and other persons the Company determines have contributed to the profits or growth of the Company.  The Company may grant awards with respect to up to 255,000 shares of common stock under the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan.

The Company granted 24,440 shares of restricted stock on March 15, 2010.  The restricted stock award is divided equally between service-based shares and performance-based shares.  The service-based portion of the stock award has a vesting period of 25% of the shares granted one year after the date of

 
7

 

grant, another 25% two years after the date of grant, and the remaining 50% on the third year after the date of grant.  Service-based stock awards are entitled to voting and dividend rights on all shares granted as of the grant date. The performance-based stock awards vest at 100% on the third year after the date of grant if pre-established financial performance targets are met.  If the performance targets are not met as of the end of the fiscal year preceding the third anniversary date of the grant, the performance-based shares are forfeited.  All unearned restricted stock grants are forfeited if the employee leaves the Company prior to vesting.

Additionally, 2,803 shares of service-based restricted stock were issued to certain executive officers on May 1, 2010.  Of these shares, 1,430 vest on a graduated basis as discussed above.  The remaining 1,373 shares will vest at 100% on May 1, 2011.

  The Company recognized $110,000 for stock-based compensation expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The following table summarizes stock options awarded under the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan and remaining unexercised options under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan at the end of the reporting period.

A total of 31 securities have been identified by the Company as temporarily impaired at September 30, 2010.  Of the 31 securities, 30 are investment grade and 1 is speculative grade.  Agency, non-agency mortgage-backed securities, and municipal securities make up the majority of temporarily impaired securities at September 30, 2010.  The speculative grade security is an asset backed security that is collateralized by trust preferred issuances of financial institutions.  Market prices change daily and are affected by conditions beyond the control of the Company.  Although the Company has the ability to hold these securities until the temporary loss is recovered, decisions by management may necessitate a sale before the loss is fully recovered.  No such sales are anticipated or required as of September 30, 2010.  Investment decisions reflect the strategic asset/liability objectives of the Company.  The investment portfolio is analyzed frequently by the Company and managed to provide an overall positive impact to the Company’s income statement and balance sheet.


Trust preferred securities

Trust preferred securities were evaluated within the scope of EITF 99-20 (ASC 320 Investments – Debt and Equity Securities) for potential impairment. The Company reviews current available information in estimating the future cash flows of these securities and determines whether there have been favorable or adverse changes in estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously projected.  The Company considers the structure and term of the pool and the financial condition of the underlying issuers.  Specifically, the evaluation incorporates factors such as interest rates and appropriate risk premiums, the timing and amount of interest and principal payments and the allocation of payments to the various note classes.  Current estimates of cash flows are based on the most recent trustee reports, announ cements of deferrals or defaults, expected future default rates and other relevant market information.  The Company analyzed the cash flow characteristics of these securities.

All of the pooled trust preferred securities in the Company’s portfolio have floating rate coupons. In performing the present value analysis of expected cash flows, we incorporate expected deferral and default rates. The deferral/default assumptions for each pooled trust preferred security were developed by reviewing the underlying collateral or issuing banks. The present value of expected future cashflows is discounted at the effective purchase yield, which in the case of the floating rate securities is equal to the

 
12

 

credit spread at time of purchase plus the current 3-month LIBOR rate.    We then compare the present value to the current book value for purposes of determining if there is an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”).  The discount rate used to determine OTTI for all periods is the effective purchase yield or the credit spread at time of purchase plus the 3-month LIBOR rate.

The Company reviewed the list of issuers underlying each trust preferred security as of September 30, 2010, and ranked each bank in order of expectations for future defaults and deferrals. We reviewed data on each bank such as earnings, capital ratios, credit metrics and loan loss reserves. We then assigned a default rate to each ranking, then the default rates were applied to each bank that was performing as of the reporting date.  Finally, we summed the defaults and divided by the total remaining performing collateral in each pool. For PreTSL IV, the default rate was 50 basis points, for PreTSL V, the default rate was 75 basis points, for PreTSL XXII, the default rate was 40 basis points and for MM Community Funding I, the default rate was 1.50%.

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q and using the evaluation procedures described above, the Company identified five other than temporarily impaired securities within its portfolio.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized credit related impairment losses of $974,000 compared to $712,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 related to these securities.

(1) Excess subordination. See explanation in text below tables.
                       


Both of the preceding tables present data on the excess subordination existing in each of the trust preferred issuances included in the Company’s investment portfolio.  Excess subordination is the difference between the remaining performing collateral and the amount of bonds outstanding that are pari passu and senior to the class owned by the Company. Negative excess subordination indicates that there is not enough performing collateral in the pool to cover the outstanding balance of all classes senior to the classes owned by the Company.

The credit deferral/default assumptions utilized in the Company’s OTTI analysis methodology and included in the above tables considers specific collateral underlying each trust preferred security.
 
The following table presents a roll-forward of the credit loss component amount of OTTI recognized in earnings:

    237  
Additions related to subsequent impairments
    737  
         
Net impairment losses recognized in earnings through September 30, 2010
  $ 2,046  

 

At September 30, 2010, the Company concluded that no other adverse change in cash flows occurred during the quarter and did not consider any other securities other-than-temporarily impaired.  Based on this analysis and because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is  more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity; and, for debt securities related to corporate securities, determined that there was no other adverse change in the cash flows as viewed by a market participant, the Company does not consider the investments in these assets to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2010.  However, there is a risk that the Company’s continuing reviews could result in recogniti on of other-than-temporary impairment charges in the future.

Note 7.                                Segment Reporting

The Company operates in a decentralized fashion in three principal business activities: retail banking services; wealth management services; and mortgage banking services.  Revenue from retail banking activities consists primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and service charges on deposit accounts.

Revenue from the wealth management activities is comprised of fees based upon the market value of the accounts under administration as well as commission on investment transactions.  The wealth management services are conducted by the two subsidiaries of Middleburg Investment Group, Inc - Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors, Inc. and the investment services department of Middleburg Bank.

Revenue from the mortgage banking activities is comprised of interest earned on loans and fees received as a result of the mortgage origination process.  The Company recognizes gains on the sale of loans as part of Other Income.  The mortgage banking services are conducted by Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC.

Middleburg Bank and the Company have assets in custody with Middleburg Trust Company and accordingly pay Middleburg Trust Company a monthly fee.  Middleburg Bank also pays interest to Middleburg Trust Company, Middleburg Investment Advisors and Southern Trust Mortgage on deposit accounts that each company has at Middleburg Bank.  Southern Trust Mortgage has an outstanding line of credit and a participation agreement for which it pays interest to Middleburg Bank.  Middleburg Bank provides office space and data processing services to Southern Trust Mortgage for which it receives rental and fee income.  Middleburg Investment Advisors pays the Company a management fee each month for accounting and other services provided.  Transactions related to these relationships are eliminated to reach consolidated totals.

       The Company contributed $6,000 to its pension plan in January 2010.  The defined benefit pension plan was suspended as of September 30, 2009 and the Company does not expect to make significant additional contributions to the plan.  Additionally, a $50,000 restructuring charge was taken during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 related to expenditures to be made in connection with the termination of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan.

Note 9.                                Capital Purchase Program and Stock Offerings
 
During 2009, the Company participated in the Capital Purchase Program established by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and issued 22,000 shares of preferred stock to the Treasury as well as a warrant (“the Warrant”) to purchase 208,202 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $15.85 per share.  As a result of the completion of the Company’s public stock offering in August 2009, the number of shares of common stock underlying the Warrant was reduced by one-half to 104,101.  On December 23, 2009, the Company redeemed all of the shares of preferred stock issued to the Treasury.  Pursuant to the purchase agreement with the Treasury, the Company may repurchase the Warrant now that it has fully redeemed its Preferred Stock.  The price for the purchase of the Warrant is subject to negotiation and there can be no assurance that the Warrant will be repurchased.  At this time, the Company has not repurchased the Warrant and the Warrant remains outstanding to the Treasury.  The Company expects that the warrant will be sold by the U.S. Treasury at public auction.


Note 10.        Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820), on January 1, 2008 to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.  ASC 820 clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 based on these two types of inputs are as follows:

Level I:                        Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

Level II:                      Pricing inputs are other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date.  The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently and items that are fair-valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

Level III:                      Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date.  These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated financial statements:

Securities available for sale

Fair values for securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.

The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2010.

Certain financial assets and certain financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances.  Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or impairment of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the consolidated financial statements:

 
22

 

Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market.  Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level II).  As such, the Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis.  No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within income from mortgage banking on the consolidated statements of income.

Impaired Loans

Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected.  The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral.  Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans.  Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable.  The vast majority of the collateral is real estate.  The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, license d appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level II).  However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level III. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data.  Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level III).

When collateral-dependent loans are performing in accordance with the original terms of their contract, the Company continues to use the appraisal that was done at origination as the basis for the collateral value.  When collateral-dependent loans are considered non-performing, they are assessed to determine the next appropriate course of action:  either foreclosure or modification with forbearance agreement.  The loans would then be re-appraised prior to foreclosure or before a forbearance agreement is executed.  Thereafter, collateral for loans under a forbearance agreement may be re-appraised as the circumstances warrant.  This process does not vary by loan type.

For the purpose of the evaluation of the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses, new appraisals are discounted 10% for selling costs when determining the amount of the specific reserve.  Thereafter, for collateral dependent impaired loans, we consider each loan on a case-by-case basis to determine whether or not the recorded values are appropriate given current market conditions.  When warranted, new appraisals are obtained.

For real estate-secured loans, if the Company doesn’t have a useable appraisal a new one is ordered to determine fair value.  If the loan is secured by assets other than real estate and an appraisal is neither available nor feasible, the loan is treated as unsecured.

Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the consolidated statements of income.

Other Real Estate Owned

The value of other real estate owned (“OREO”) is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser independent of the Company using observable market data (Level II).  For other real estate owned properties, the Company’s policy is to obtain “as-is” appraisals on an annual basis as opposed to “as-completed” appraisals.  This approach provides current values without regard to completion of any construction or renovation that may be in process on OREO properties.  Accordingly, the Company considers the valuations to be Level II valuations even though some properties may be in process of renovation or

 
24

 

construction.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company had 2 OREO properties considered to be in construction with a carrying value of approximately $1.9 million.

For the purpose OREO valuations, appraisals are discounted 10% for selling and holding costs and it is the policy of the Company to obtain annual appraisals for properties held in OREO.

Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as loss on other real estate owned on the consolidated statements of income.

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

 
25

 

disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

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. & #160;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 11.                      Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to the accounting for transfers of financial assets. The new guidance, which was issued as SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140”, was adopted into Codification in December 2009 through the issuance of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-16. The new standard provides guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that an entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.  ASU 2009-16 was effective for transfers on or after January 1 , 2010.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 
26

 


In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to variable interest entities.  The new guidance, which was issued as SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” was adopted into Codification in December 2009. The objective of the guidance is to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. SFAS No. 167 was effective as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-15, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing.” ASU 2009-15 amends Subtopic 470-20 to expand accounting and reporting guidance for own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of convertible debt issuance. ASU 2009-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-04, Accounting for Various Topics – Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs. ASU 2010-04 makes technical corrections to existing SEC guidance including the following topics: accounting for subsequent investments, termination of an interest rate swap, issuance of financial statements - subsequent events, use of residential method to value acquired assets other than goodwill, adjustments in assets and liabilities for holding gains and losses, and selections of discount rate used for measuring defined benefit obligation. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, require new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s cons olidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements.”  ASU 2010-09 addresses both the interaction of the requirements of Topic 855 with the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosures provisions related to subsequent events.  An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  ASU 2010-09 is effective immediately. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.”  The new disclosure guidance will significantly expand the existing requirements and will lead to greater transparency into a company’s exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements.  The extensive new disclosures of information as of the end of a reporting period will become effective for both interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010.  Specific disclosures regarding activity that occurred before the issuance of the ASU, such as the allowance rollforward and modification disclosures will be required for periods beginning on

 
27

 

or after December 15, 2010.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2010-20 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

On September 15, 2010, the SEC issued Release No. 33-9142, “Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In Exchange Act Periodic Reports of Non-Accelerated Filers.”  This release issued a final rule adopting amendments to its rules and forms to conform them to Section 404(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), as added by Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  SOX Section 404(c) provides that Section 404(b) shall not apply with respect to any audit report prepared for an issuer that is neither an accelerated filer nor a large accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Release No. 33-9142 was effective September 21, 2010.

On September 17, 2010, the SEC issued Release No. 33-9144, “Commission Guidance on Presentation of Liquidity and Capital Resources Disclosures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.”  This interpretive release is intended to improve discussion of liquidity and capital resources in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in order to facilitate understanding by investors of the liquidity and funding risks facing the registrant. This release was issued in conjunction with a proposed rule, “Short-Term Borrowings Disclosures,” that would require public companies to disclose additional information to investors about their short-term borrowing arrangements. Release No. 33-9144 was effective on September 28, 2010.

The Company is headquartered in Middleburg, Virginia and conducts its primary operations through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Middleburg Bank and Middleburg Investment Group, Inc and a majority owned subsidiary, Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC.  Middleburg Bank is a community bank serving the Virginia counties of Loudoun, Fairfax and Fauquier with seven financial service centers and two limited service facilities. Middleburg Investment Group is a non-bank holding company that was formed in the fourth quarter of 2005.  It has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Middleburg Trust Company which in turn wholly owns Middleburg Investment Advisors, Inc.  Middleburg Trust Company is a trust company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, and maintains offices in Williamsburg, Virginia and in several of Middleburg Bank’ ;s facilities.  Middleburg Investment Advisors is a registered investment advisor headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia serving clients in 24 states.  Southern Trust Mortgage is a regional mortgage company headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia and maintains offices in Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

The Company operates under a business model that makes all of its financial and wealth management services available to its clients at all of its financial service centers.  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 relationships with current clients and new clients.  The Company’s goal is to assist in the creation, preservation and ultimate transfer of the wealth of its clients.

The Company generates a significant amount of its income from the net interest income earned by Middleburg 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.  Middleburg Bank’s cost of money is a function of the average amount of deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid thereon.  The quality of the assets further influences the amount of interest income lost on non-accrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses.  Middleburg Bank also generates income from fees on deposits and loans.

Middleburg Investment Group’s subsidiaries, Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors, 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 administration and, therefore, can be significantly affected by fluctuation in the values of securities caused by changes in the capital markets.

Southern Trust Mortgage generates fees from the origination and sale of mortgage loans. Southern Trust Mortgage also maintains a real estate construction portfolio and receives interest and fee income from these loans, which, net of interest expense, is included in net interest income.

Net income available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased to a loss of $4.3 million from net income of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Annualized return on total average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was   -0.5%, compared to 0.3% for the same period in 2009.  Annualized return on total average equity of Middleburg Financial Corporation, which excludes the non-controlling interest in Southern Trust Mortgage, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was -5.5%, compared to 3.1% for  the same  period in 2009.  The 2009 results included preferred stock outstanding at September 30, 2009.  The Company recognized losses in its loan portfolio resulting in net charge-offs again st the reserves for loan losses of $4.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  As a result of the evaluation of the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses, the Company increased its reserve for loan losses by $6.7 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The provision for loan losses was $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Total interest income decreased $7.9 million or 18.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, when compared to the same period in 2009.  Interest and fees on loans decreased 19.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $30.7 million, compared to $37.8 million for the same period in 2009.  Total interest expense was $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of 25.4%. Interest expense on deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $2.6 million when compared to the same period in 2009 while interest bearing deposits increased $73.0 million or 10.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to December 31, 2009.  Total other income increased $2.9 million to $ 18.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, when compared to the same period in 2009.  Total other expense was $38.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $36.7 million for the same period in 2009.

Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased to a loss of $5.8 million from income of $325,000 for the same period in 2009.  Net charge-offs against the reserves for loan losses were $3.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2010

 
29

 

and the provision for loan losses was $9.1 million.  Total interest income decreased by $2.3 million or 16.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, when compared to the same period in 2009.  Interest and fees on loans decreased 17.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $9.8 million, compared to $11.9 million for the same period in 2009.  Total interest expense decreased $886,000 or 19.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, when compared to the same period in 2009.  Other income increased by $2.8 million or 70% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, when compared to the same period in 2009.  Total other expense increased by $2.5 million or 20.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.
 
On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law.  The Dodd-Frank Act contains significant modifications to the current bank regulatory structure and requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new implementing rules and regulations.  While not determinable at this time, the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act and the rules and regulations that will be promulgated thereunder could significantly affect our operations, increase our operating costs and divert management resources.  Other than the potential impact of this legislation, the Company is not aware of any current recommendations by any regulatory authorities that, if implemented, would have a material effect on the registrant’s liquidity, capital resourc es or results of operations.
 

Critical Accounting Policies

General

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

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

Allowance for Loan Losses

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

Middleburg Bank evaluates various loans individually for impairment as required by applicable accounting guidance.  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

 
30

 

amount of impairment.  If a loan evaluated individually is not determined to be impaired, then the loan is added back to its pool of loans with similar risk characteristics which is then assigned a loss rate factor as discussed below.

For loans without individual measures of impairment, Middleburg Bank makes estimates of losses for groups of loans as required by applicable accounting standards.  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 standa rds 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 Middleburg 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.  Middleburg Bank recognizes the inherent imprecision in estimates of losses due to various uncertainties and variability related to the factors used, and therefore a reasonable range around the estimate of losses is derived and used to ascertain whether the allowance is too high.  If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail and it is determined that the allowance is not adequate to absorb the new estimate of probable losses, an additional provision for loan losses would be made, which amount may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Intangibles and Goodwill

The Company had approximately $6.4 million in intangible assets and goodwill at September 30, 2010, a decrease of $128,000 or 2% since December 31, 2009.  On April 1, 2002, the Company acquired Middleburg Investment Advisors, 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 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 seven years.  The remainder of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill.  Approximately $1.0 million of the $6.4 million in intangible assets and goodwill at September 30, 2010 was attributable to the Company’s investment in Middleburg Trust Company.  With the consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage, the Company recognized $1.9 million in goodwill as part of its equity investment.
 
 
The purchase price allocation process requires management estimates and judgment as to expectations for the life span of various customer relationships as well as the value that key members of management add to the success of the Company.  For example, customer attrition rates were determined based upon assumptions that the past five years may predict the future.  If the actual attrition rates, among other assumptions, differed from the estimates and judgments used in the purchase price allocation, the amounts recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill or require acceleration in the amortization expense.

 
31

 

In addition, accounting standards require 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 impairment might exist include loss of customers acquired or significant withdrawals of the assets currently under management and/or early retirement or termination of key members of management.  Any changes in the key management estimates or judgments could result in an impairment charge, and such a charge could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  The most recent review was performed as of September 30, 2010 and no impairment was indicated.

Tax-Equivalent Interest Income

Tax-equivalent interest income is gross interest income adjusted for the non-taxable interest income earned on loans, 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 loans, municipal securities and corporate securities.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI)

Approximately $974,000 in losses related to other-than-temporary impairment on trust-preferred securities was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and approximately $726,000 was recognized during the third quarter.  At September 30, 2010, the Company had $1.4 million in trust-preferred securities in its portfolio.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we determine the other-than-temporary impairment for the trust preferred securities in the securities portfolio based on an evaluation of the underlying collateral.  We developed cash flow projections based upon assumptions of default/deferral rates, recovery rates and prepayment rates for the collateral.  The present value of the projected cash flows was calculated by discounting the projected cash flows using the effective yield at purchase in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.  Finally, the present values of the projected cash flows were compared to the carrying values of the securities.  If the present values were less than the carrying value, we determined that the security h ad an other-than-temporary impairment equal to the difference between the present value and the carrying value of the bond.

The Company may need to recognize additional other-than-temporary impairments related to trust preferred securities during the remainder of 2010.  We evaluate default assumptions and cash flow projections in relation to the credit performance of the collateral that underlies the trust preferred securities.  Should additional deferrals/defaults occur on the collateral, projected cash flows from the collateral could be reduced which could result in additional other-than-temporary impairments in 2010.

Non-performing Loans

Non-performing loans increased by $17.7 million in the third quarter to $30.7 million, largely as the result of four credit relationships totaling $16.8 million being moved to non-accrual status during the quarter.  A loan loss reserve of approximately $3.2 million has been established to provide for potential losses on these credits.

The following table provides additional information on the largest four relationships classified as non-accrual during the quarter ended September 30, 2010:

The largest relationship moved to non-accrual during the quarter is a $10.4 million relationship.  The borrower is making substantial principal curtailments in accordance with a forbearance agreement entered into during the quarter.  This relationship has never been more than 45 days past due, and an orderly liquidation of collateral is under way with the full cooperation of the borrower.

The second relationship totaled $3.5 million and is secured by a large estate property.  Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the loans in this relationship were brought current by the borrower.  The third relationship is a $1.8 million loan collateralized by owner-occupied commercial real estate.  This borrower is now making regular payments under a forbearance agreement entered into during the third quarter.  The fourth relationship totals $1.0 million and consists of an $817,000 residential mortgage and two commercial loans.  The borrower continues to make all payments as agreed under a forbearance agreement.


Restructured Loans

The total balance of restructured loans at September 30, 2010 was $3.1 million of which $2.7 million were included in the Company’s non-accrual loan totals at that date and $404,000 represented loans performing as agreed to the restructured terms.  This compares with $2.1 million in restructured loans at December 31, 2009, an increase of $1.0 million or 47.3%.  All loans classified as restructured are considered to be non-performing assets as of September 30, 2010.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company had 14 restructured loans that it considered to be impaired with an aggregate balance of $2.7 million and $647,000 in restructured loans were charged off during the third quarter.  The Company requires six timely consecutive monthly payments before a restructured loan that has been placed on non-accrual can be returned to accrual status.  Formal, standardized loan restructuring programs are not utilized by the Company.  Each loan considered for restructuring is evaluated based on customer circumstances and may include modifications to one or more loan provision.  The Company has not employed workout strategies resulting in one loan being restructured into multiple new loans.

Approximately $484,000 is included in the Company’s allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2010 related to restructured loans.

Securities

Securities, excluding Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank stock, increased to $242.0 million at September 30, 2010 compared to $172.7 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of 40.2% during the period. The average balance of federal funds sold was zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $27.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 while the average balance in interest-bearing bank balances increased to $49.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 versus $26.1 million for the same period in 2009.  The Company sold $56.5 million in securities, received proceeds of $39.7 million from maturities and principal payments, and purchased securities of $161.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Approximately $974,000 in losses related to other- than-temporary impairments on trust-preferred securities was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  At September 30, 2010, the Company had $1.4 million in trust-preferred securities in its portfolio of which $1.1 million are considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

The Company will continue to maintain its securities portfolio as a source of liquidity and collateral.  At September 30, 2010, the year-to-date tax equivalent yield on the securities portfolio was 4.02%.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment decreased $510,000 from $23.5 million at December 31, 2009 to $23.0 million at September 30, 2010.  The decrease is the net of the change in accumulated depreciation and additions to premises and equipment during the period.

Goodwill and Other Identified Intangibles

Goodwill and other identified intangibles decreased $128,000 to $6.4 million at September 30, 2010 as the result of amortization of identified intangibles related to the acquisition of Middleburg Investment Advisors.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned increased $1.6 million to $8.1 million at September 30, 2010 from $6.5 million at December 31, 2009.  The increase is the net of real estate loans charged-off and subsequently added to other real estate owned, valuation adjustments and sales of other real estate owned properties during the period.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company received proceeds of $1.0 million from the sale of other real estate owned properties and incurred a net loss of $185,000 on the sales.

Deposits

Deposits increased $91.3 million to $896.9 million at September 30, 2010 from $805.6 million at December 31, 2009.  Average deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased 19.1% or $148.3 million compared to average deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Average interest bearing demand deposits were $282.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $245.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Average interest bearing deposits were $727.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $670.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

  The Company has an interest bearing product, known as Tredegar Institutional Select, that integrates the use of the cash within client accounts at Middleburg Trust Company for overnight funding at the Bank.  The overall balance of this product was $33.2 million at September 30, 2010 and is reflected in both the savings and interest bearing demand deposits and the “securities sold under agreements to repurchase” amounts on the balance sheet.  Excluding the Tredegar Institutional Select product, savings and interest bearing demand deposits increased by $41.7 million from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010.

Time deposits increased $49.6 million from December 31, 2009 to $351.1 million at September 30, 2010.  Time deposits include brokered certificates of deposit, which decreased $2.1 million to $61.9 million at September 30, 2010 from the December 31, 2009 amount of $64.0 million.  The brokered certificates of deposit have maturities ranging from four months to five years.  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“Repo Accounts”) increased $8.2 million from $17.2 million at December 31, 2009 to $25.4 million at September 30, 2010.  The Repo Accounts include certain long-term commercial checking accounts with average balances that typically exceed $100,000 and the Tredegar Institutional Select account which includes accounts maintained by Middleburg Trust Company’s business clients.  All repurchase agreement transactions entered into by the Company are accounted for as collateralized financings and not as sales.

Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt

The Company had no FHLB overnight advances at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  Southern Trust Mortgage has a line of credit with a regional bank that is primarily used to fund its loans held for sale.  At September 30, 2010, this line had an outstanding balance of $21.9 million compared to $3.5 million at December 31, 2009.  The line of credit is based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).  Southern Trust Mortgage also has a $5.0 million line of credit and a $50.0 million participation agreement with Middleburg Bank.  The line of credit and the outstanding balance under the participation agreement are eliminated in the consolidation process and are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.  Long-term debt increased $17.9 million at September 30, 2010 from $35.0 million at December 31, 2009.  The increase in long-term debt was used to fund loan originations and securities purchases.

Other Liabilities

Other liabilities increased $1.3 million to $7.7 million at September 30, 2010, when compared to December 31, 2009 primarily due to accrued restructuring charges of $530,000 at September 30, 2010 as discussed in the “Other Expense” section of this report.  Additionally the other liabilities section of the balance sheet includes escrows payable in the amount of $258,000 at September 30, 2010, compared to $141,000 at December 31, 2009.  The remainder of the increase from December 31, 2009 to September

 
38

 

30, 2010 is attributable to changes in accrued interest payable balances and miscellaneous liability balances.

Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Subsidiary

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the Company’s primary source of earnings and represents the difference between interest and fees earned on earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and other interest bearing liabilities.  Net interest income totaled $24.8 million for the first nine months of 2010 compared to $28.9 million for the same period in 2009, a decrease of 14.2%.  Total interest income decreased 18.0% and total interest expense decreased 25.4% when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The decrease in total interest income from 2009 to 2010 is primarily the result of lower market yields on loans and investments and higher average balances in lower yielding interest bearing deposits in other banks.  Total interest expe nse was $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $14.9 million for the same

period in 2009.  Average earning assets were $955.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $940.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $8.0 million, compared to $9.4 million for the same period in 2009.  Total interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $11.7 million compared to $14.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 representing a decrease of 16.3%.  Total interest expense was $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2009 representing a decrease of 19.3%.  Average earning assets increased $67.8 million to $1.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $937.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Average interest bearing liabilities increased $78.5 million to $857.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 201 0 when compared to the same period in 2009.

Interest expense on deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2010, decreased $706,000 compared to the same period in 2009.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, average deposits increased $79.0 million to $873.5 million, compared to the same period in 2009.

Interest expense for securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which includes Tredegar Institutional Select, increased $112,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period ended September 30, 2009.  Tredegar Institutional Select earns interest at a rate equal to approximately 90% of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta’s overnight rate.  Interest expense related to Federal funds purchased and short-term borrowings decreased $273,000 from $518,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $245,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Interest expense related to long-term debt decreased $1.0 million from $2.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Interest expense for securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased to $63,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $7,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Interest expense related to Federal funds purchased and short-term borrowings increased $83,000 from $51,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $134,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Interest expense related to long-term debt decreased $319,000 from $691,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $372,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 3.61% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 4.28% for the same period in 2009.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 3.27% compared to 4.13% for the same three-month period in 2009.  The average yield on earning assets was 4.74% for the quarter

ended September 30, 2010 while the average cost of interest bearing liabilities was 1.73%, representing decreases of 48 basis points and 9 basis points, respectively, from the previous quarter.  The net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was 3.27%, compared to 3.67% for the previous quarter, a decline of 40 basis points during the period. While the cost-of-funds did decrease during the third quarter, the decrease was not sufficient to offset the decline in yields of earning assets. The decline in yields on earning assets in the third quarter reflected increased runoff of loans as well as an increase in prepayments of mortgage securities in the securities portfolio, in conjunction with the low interest rate environment in the third quarter. The Company’s net interest margin is not a measur ement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, but it is a common measure used by the financial service industry to determine how profitably earning assets are funded.  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 non taxable, 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 is 34.0% for all periods presented.  The reconciliation of tax equivalent net interest income, which is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, to net interest income is reflected in the table below.

The decrease in tax equivalent net interest margin was attributed to the decrease in average loan balances and a lower yield on both loans and investments from September 30, 2009 to September 30, 2010.  The Company’s total average earning assets increased by $15.8 million when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, while the yield on average earnings assets decreased by 123 basis points when comparing the same periods.  Average balances in interest checking, regular savings and money market accounts increased by $69.6 million when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to the same period in 2009.  The weighted average cost of these accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was .85% and 1.30%, respectively.  ; The average balance of certificates of deposits decreased $12.5 million when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The weighted average cost of the Company’s certificates of deposits decreased by 61 basis points to 2.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 versus the same period in 2009.

When comparing the three months ended September 30, 2010 to the same period  in 2009, the Company’s total average earning assets increased $67.8 million, while the yield on average earnings assets decreased by 134 basis points when comparing the same periods.  Average balances in interest checking, regular savings and money market accounts increased by $46.9 million when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2010 to the same period in 2009.  The weighted average cost of these accounts for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was .81% and 1.24%, respectively.  The average balance of certificates of deposits decreased by $21.9 million when comparing the three months ended September 30, 2010 to the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The weighted average c ost of the Company’s certificates of deposits decreased by 68 basis points to 2.72% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 versus the three months ended September 30, 2009.


Other Income

Other income includes, among other items, fees generated by the retail banking and investment services departments of the Bank as well as by Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors.  Other income also includes income from the Company’s 57.1% ownership interest in Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC.  Other income increased 18.8% to $18.0 million for nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.  Other income increased 70.0% to $6.9 million for three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Commissions and fees from trust and investment advisory activities decreased 0.7% to $807,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $813,000 for the same period in 2009.

Service charges on deposits decreased 1.6% to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2009.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, service charges on deposits decreased 2.7% to $487,000 compared to the same period in 2009.

The Company sold $56.5 million in securities and purchased $161.2 million in securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The Company realized a net gain of $757,000 on the sale of securities in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The Company has identified five other-than-temporarily impaired securities in its portfolio and has elected to recognize decreases in the fair market value of the security through earnings.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company realized a loss of $974,000 related to the other-than-temporarily impaired securities.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a loss of $712,000 was realized as a result of the impaired securities.

Commissions on investment sales increased 11.9% to $453,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $405,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, commissions on investment sales decreased 4.1% to $142,000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.

The revenues and expenses of Southern Trust Mortgage for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2010 are reflected in the Company’s financial statements on a consolidated basis, with the proportionate share not owned by the Company reported as “Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated  Subsidiary.”  Gains and fees on loans held for sale of $12.9 million, which were generated by Southern Trust Mortgage during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, are being reported as part of consolidated other income, compared to $9.3 million for the same period in 2009.  The increase in gains and fees on loans held for sale is due primarily to more favorable pricing received on loan sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.  Southern Trust Mortgage closed $555.4 million in loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $785.8 for the same period in 2009.

Income earned from the Bank’s $15.4 million investment in Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) contributed $391,000 and $136,000 to total other income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2010.  The Company purchased $6.0 million of BOLI in the third quarter of 2004, $4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2004, $485,000 in the second quarter of 2007, $453,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009, and $682,000 in the second quarter of 2010 to help subsidize increasing employee benefit costs and expenses related to the restructure of its supplemental retirement plans.

Other operating income decreased $14,000 to $221,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, other operating income decreased 19.2% to $42,000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.


Other Expense

Total other expense includes employee-related costs, occupancy and equipment expense and other overhead.  Total other expense increased by $1.8 million from $36.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $38.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  When taken as a percentage of total average assets, other expense increased to 3.7% of total average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 versus 3.6% for the same period in 2009.  Total other expense increased $2.4 million from $12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $14.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.
 
 
The increase during the third quarter was primarily the result of the following charges taken during the third quarter:

  
$1.4 million to reflect an adjustment to the carrying value of two branch sites that had been previously held for future expansion and are now being readied for sale.  The Company will actively market these properties to potential buyers in the fourth quarter.
  
$481,000 in adjustments to Other Real Estate Owned.
  
$530,000 restructuring charge related to workforce downsizing.  The restructuring is expected to reduce payroll expenses by approximately 10%.
  
$50,000 associated with the termination of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan.  The Company froze the plan during 2008 and suspended contributions during that year.
 
Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $191,000 when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to the same period in 2009. Salaries and employee benefit expenses increased by $740,000 in the third quarter of 2010 relative to the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  This increase is primarily due to higher commission expense associated with the mortgage company. The Company anticipates that salaries and employee benefits expenses will decrease in future quarters as the benefits of the restructuring program are realized.

Net occupancy expense increased by $247,000 or 5.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, net occupancy expense increased $103,000 or 7.1 % to $1.6 million from September 30, 2009.  The year to date increase is the result of the Company’s growth as well as maintenance and improvements of the Company’s facilities.   As growth efforts continue to progress, the Company anticipates higher levels of occupancy expense to be incurred.

Other tax expense increased 36.5% to $598,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $438,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Other tax expense includes the state franchise tax paid by Middleburg Bank and Middleburg Trust Company in lieu of an income tax.  The tax is based on each subsidiary’s equity capital at January 1st, net of adjustments.  Total capital of Middleburg Bank increased 29.1% from January 1, 2009 to January 1, 2010, while total capital for Middleburg Trust Company increased 189.1% during the same period.

Advertising expense increased $136,000 to $685,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $549,000 for the same period in 2009.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, advertising expense was $257,000, compared to $184,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Other real estate owned expense decreased by $992,000 to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, other real estate owned expense decreased $37,000 to $666,000 compared to the same period in 2009.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in legal expenses related to foreclosure, valuation adjustments and fewer losses on the sales of these assets.

FDIC insurance expense decreased by $46,000 to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period ended September 30, 2009.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, FDIC insurance expense decreased $42,000 to $368,000.

Other expenses increased 55.7% or $2.2 million to $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.  The increase was primarily due to the carrying value adjustment of two previous branch sites and the restructuring charges incurred during the quarter as discussed in the first paragraph of this section.
 
 
Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2010 was $15.9 million, or 2.4% of total portfolio loans, compared to $9.2 million, or 1.4% of total portfolio loans at September 30, 2009.  The provision for loan losses was $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the provision for loan losses was $9.1 million, compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2009.    For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net loan charge-offs totaled $4.7 million, compared to net loan charge-offs of $4.4 million for the same period in 2009.  There were $388,000 in loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing at September 30, 2010, compared to $1.2 million at September 30, 2009.  Non-performing loans were $30.7 million at September 30, 2010, compared to $10.2 million at September 30, 2009.  Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2010.  Loans classified as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention are adequately reserved for and are not expected to have a material impact beyond what has been reserved.  Approximately $484,000 has been included in the allowance for loan losses related to restructured loans.

Non-performing assets increased from $18.1 million or 1.9% of total assets at December 31, 2009 to $38.9 million or 3.5% of total assets as of September 30, 2010.  The increase was primarily due to the reclassification of four loans to non-accrual status during the quarter.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $101.4 million and $103.3 million, respectively.  Total common shares outstanding at September 30, 2010 were 6,915,687.

At September 30, 2010, the Company’s tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 12.3% and 13.5%, respectively, compared to 13.9% and 15.1% at December 31, 2009.  The Company’s leverage ratio was 9.12% at September 30, 2010 compared to 10.4% at December 31, 2009.  The Company’s capital structure places it above the well capitalized regulatory guidelines, which affords the Company the

 
48

 

opportunity to take advantage of business opportunities while ensuring that it has the resources to protect against risk inherent in its business.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management.  Liquid assets include cash, interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, short-term investments, securities classified as available for sale and loans and securities maturing within one year.  As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.

The Company also maintains additional sources of liquidity through a variety of borrowing arrangements.  The Company maintains federal funds lines with large regional and money-center banking institutions.  These available lines totaled $19.0 million, none of which were outstanding at September 30, 2010.  At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had $25.4 million and $17.2 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings pursuant to repurchase agreements.
 
 
The Company has a credit line in at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta with an available borrowing capacity of $143.5 million.  This line may be utilized for short and/or long-term borrowing.  The Company utilized the credit line for both overnight and long-term funding throughout the first nine months of 2010.  Southern Trust Mortgage has a $25.0 million revolving line of credit with a regional bank, which is primarily used to fund its loans held for sale.  Middleburg Bank guarantees up to $10 million of borrowings on this line. At September 30, 2010, this line had an outstanding balance of $21.9 million and is included in total short-term borrowings.  Short-term and long-term advances averaged $9.1 million and $53.2 million, respecti vely, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

At September 30, 2010, cash, interest bearing deposits with financial institutions, federal funds sold, short-term investments, loans held for sale and securities available for sale were 43.3% of total deposits.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

Commitments to extend credit (excluding standby letters of credit) increased $2.6 million to $87.2 million at September 30, 2010 compared to $84.6 million at December 31, 2009.  Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent expected future cash flows.  Standby letters of credit were $2.0 million at September 30, 2010 representing no change from December 31, 2009.

Contractual obligations increased $16.2 million to $86.3 million at September 30, 2010 compared to $70.1 million at December 31, 2009 excluding certificates of deposit and short-term borrowings.  This change resulted primarily from additional long term debt of $17.9 million assumed during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Additional information on commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and contractual obligations is included in the Company’s 2009 Form 10-K.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

 
50

 

related activities, based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends.

Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates.  As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with the Company’s financial instruments also change, affecting net interest income, the primary component of the Company’s 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 model prepared for September 30, 2010 did not include the assets and liabilities of Southern Trust Mortgage.

The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet.  The simulation model is prepared and updated four times during each year.  This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point (bp) upward shift and a 200 basis point downward shift in interest rates.  A parallel shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed.  The following reflects the Company’s net interest income sensitivity analysis as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

 
Estimated Net Interest Income Sensitivity
Rate Change
As of September 30, 2010
As of December 31, 2009
+ 200 bp
(7.2%)
(11.5%)
- 200 bp
(12.8%)
(10.0%)
 

At September 30, 2010, the Company’s interest rate risk model indicated that, in a rising rate environment of 200 basis points over a 12 month period, net interest income could decrease by 7.2% on average.  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 decrease by 12.8% on average.  While these numbers are subjective based upon the parameters used within the model, management believes the balance sheet is properly structured and is working to minimize risks to rising rates in the future.

Since December 31, 2009, the Company’s balance sheet has grown by $135.1 million.  Increased deposits have provided the funding for the growth in the loan portfolio and liquid assets.  The Company’s interest rate profile is symmetrical for the next 12 months.  Based upon a September 30, 2010 simulation, the Company could expect an average negative impact to net interest income of $1.2 million over the next 12 months if rates rise 200 basis points.  If rates were to decline 200 basis points, the Company could expect an average negative impact to net interest income of $2.2 million over the next 12 months. The Company’s specific goal is to lower (where possible) the cost of its borrowed funds.

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

predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

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


Item 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

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