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, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2010 (the “2010 Form 10-K”) of Middleburg Financial Corporation (the “Company”).  The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 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.  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, 2011, 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 of up to 255,000 shares of common stock under the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan.

The Company granted 54,500 shares of restricted stock to executive officers and certain other employees on May 1, 2011.  The terms of the grant awards provide for 100% cliff vesting on December 31, 2016 but vesting may be accelerated on a graduated basis if certain predefined performance targets are met during the service period.  As of September 30, 2011, no shares were vested under these awards.  Service-based stock awards are entitled to voting and dividend rights on all shares granted as of the grant date. Under the terms of these grant awards, unearned restricted stock grants are forfeited if the employee leaves the Company prior to vesting.

Additionally, 1,063 shares of service-based restricted stock were issued to the Chairman of the Board of Directors on May 1, 2011.  The shares will vest at 100% on May 1, 2012.

The Company recognized $247,000 for stock-based compensation expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

A total of 50 securities have been identified by the Company as temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011.  Of the 50 securities, 47 are investment grade and 3 are speculative grade.  Agency, non-agency mortgage-backed securities, and municipal securities make up the majority of temporarily impaired securities at September 30, 2011.  The speculative grade securities are asset backed securities that are 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, 2011.  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, announcements 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 cash flows is discounted at the effective purchase yield, which in the case of the floating rate securities is equal to the 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

 
13


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, 2011, 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 Trust Preferred IV, the expected default rate was 50 basis points, for Trust Preferred V, the expected default rate was 0 basis points, for Trust Preferred XXII, the expected default rate was 75 basis points, and for MM Community Funding Class A, the expected default rate was 150 basis points.  MM Community Funding Class B was sold during the period and is not presented in the tables below.

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 three securities with other-than-temporary impairment within its portfolio.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized credit related impairment losses of $22,000 compared to $974,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 related to these securities.  Additionally, two securities previously recognized as other than temporarily impaired were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  These securities had a cumulative other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss of $1.5 million.  An additional $16,000 loss was recognized in earnings upon sale of these two 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:

(1)
Two securities were sold during March, 2011 with a combined cumulative OTTI related to credit loss of $1,527,000.  An additional $16,000 was recognized as a loss in earnings upon sale of these bonds.

At September 30, 2011, 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, 2011.  However, there is a risk that the Company’s continuing reviews could result in recognition of other-than-temporary impairment charges in the future.

The Company utilizes an internal asset classification system as a means of measuring and monitoring credit risk in the loan portfolio.  Under the Company’s classification system, problem and potential problem loans are classified as “Special Mention”, “Substandard”, “Doubtful” and “Loss”.
 
Special Mention:  Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credit.

Substandard:  Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt.  Either the paying capacity of the borrower or the value of the collateral may be inadequate to protect the Company from potential losses.

Doubtful:  Loans classified as doubtful have a very high possibility of loss.  However, because of important and reasonably specific pending factors, classification as a loss is deferred until a more exact status may be determined.

Loss: Loans are classified as loss when they are deemed uncollectable and are charged off immediately.

The following tables present a summary of loan classifications by class of loan as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

The “Recorded Investment” amounts in the tables above represent the outstanding principal balance on each loan represented in the tables plus any accrued interest receivable on such loans.  The “Unpaid Principal Balance” represents the outstanding principal balance on each loan represented in the tables plus any amounts that have been charged off on each loan.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Included in certain loan categories in the impaired loans table above are troubled debt restructurings (“TDR’s”) that were classified as impaired.  The total balance of TDR’s at September 30, 2011 was $8.4 million of which $8.0 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 $4.5 million in total restructured loans at December 31, 2010, an increase of $3.9 million or 86.7%.  The amount of the valuation allowance related to total TDR’s was $1.5 million and $532,000 as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 respectively.

The $8.0 million in nonaccrual TDR’s as of September 30, 2011 is comprised of $572,000 million in real estate construction loans, $3.9 million in 1-4 family real estate loans, $2.3 million in non-residential real estate loans, $764,000 in commercial loans, and $416,000 in consumer loans.  The $404,000 in TDR’s which were performing as agreed under restructured terms as of September 30, 2011 is represented by  two 1-4 family real estate loans.  The Company considers all loans classified as TDR’s to be impaired as of September 30, 2011.

As a result of adopting the amendments in ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310) – A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring,” The Company reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption (January 1, 2011) to determine whether they are considered TDRs under the amended guidance using review procedures in effect at that time.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company modified nine loans that were considered to be TDR’s.  We extended the term and lowered the interest rate for all nine loans.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company identified as a TDR one loan for which the allowance for loan losses had previously been measured under a general allowance methodology. Upon identifying this loan as a TDR, the Company evaluated it for impairment. The accounting amendments require prospective application of the impairment measurement guidance for those loans newly identified as impaired. As of September 30, 2011, the recorded investment in the loan for which the allowance was previously measured under a general allowance methodology and is now considered impaired and measured under a specific allowance methodology was $293,000, and the allowance for loan losses associated with that loan, on the basis of a current evaluation of loss was $127,000.

 
19

As of September 30, 2011, $5.3 million of loans restructured as TDR’s during the nine month period are included in the Company’s non-accrual loans total.  The balance of the loans identified as TDR’s during that period are reflected as non-performing assets which are performing as agreed under the restructured terms.

No loans modified in as TDR’s from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011 subsequently defaulted (i.e. 90 days or more past due following a restructuring) during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011.

Management considers troubled debt restructurings and subsequent defaults in restructured loans in the determination of the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses.  When identified as a TDR, a loan is evaluated for potential loss based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs if the loan is collateral dependent.  Loans identified as TDR’s frequently are on non-accrual status at the time of the restructuring and, in some cases, partial charge-offs may have already been taken against the loan and a specific allowance may have already been established for the loan.  As a result of any modification as a TDR, the specific reserve associated with the loan may be increased.  Additionally, loans modified in a TDR are closely monitored for delinquency as an early indicator of possible future defaults.  If loans modified in a TDR subsequently default, the Company evaluates the loan for possible further impairment.  As a result, any specific allowance may be increased, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the total allowance balance, or partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan.  Management exercises significant judgment in developing estimates for potential losses associated with TDR’s.

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 Middleburg Trust Company 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 and Southern Trust Mortgage on deposit accounts that each company has at Middleburg Bank.  Southern Trust Mortgage has an outstanding line of credit of $5.0 million and a participation agreement of $75.0 million for which it pays interest to Middleburg Bank on any

outstanding balance.  Middleburg Bank provides office space and data processing services to Southern Trust Mortgage for which it receives rental and fee income.  Transactions related to these relationships are eliminated to reach consolidated totals.

Note 8.                                Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The Company has a noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees of Middleburg Bank and Middleburg Trust Company.  Benefit accruals and eligibility for the plan were frozen as of September 30, 2009. This had the effect of reducing the Projected Benefit Obligation by an estimated $1,577,000, which was recorded as a curtailment gain in 2009.  The Company funds pension costs in accordance with the funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

The defined benefit pension plan has been amended to be terminated and the amendment has been submitted to the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for approval. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“the “PBGC”) was notified of the termination and the PBGC review period expired without comment.  Although the IRS application for termination approval is in process, and it is the intention of the Company to distribute the assets of the plan to participants during the fourth quarter of 2011, the date of IRS approval is unknown and there can be no assurance that the plan will be terminated or that assets will be completely distributed during 2011.

The table below reflects the components of the Net Periodic Benefit Cost related to the Company’s defined benefit pension plan for the indicated periods.

Note 9.                                Capital Purchase Program
 
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 the Treasury to sell the Warrant through an auction process in the near future.


Note 10.
Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, 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.

 
26

 
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.

Measured on recurring basis

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

Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level I). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level II).

Derivatives

Derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar instruments by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level II).

 
27

The following tables present the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

There were no assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level III) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Additionally, there were no changes in unrealized gains and losses recorded in earnings for the periods ended September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010 for Level III assets that were still held at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
Measured on nonrecurring basis

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.

 
28

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:

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 or three months ended September 30, 2011.  Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within income from mortgage banking on the consolidated statements of operations.

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 the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of the underlying collateral.  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, licensed appraiser 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. As of September 30, 2011, four impaired loans with a net balance of $463,000 were categorized as having a Level III valuation due to the date of the last appraisal.  The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data.  Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivable collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level III).  Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Impaired loans for which no further loss is expected are not considered to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  Any fair value adjustments as a result of the evaluation process are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the consolidated statements of operations.

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.

The Company’s procedure to monitor the value of collateral for collateral dependent impaired loans between the receipt of an original appraisal and an updated appraisal is to review tax assessment records when they change annually, to obtain on a judgmental basis, independent real estate evaluations, and to monitor the general level and direction of movement of regional real estate market conditions.  At the time of any change in tax assessment, an appropriate adjustment is made to the existing appraised value and any resulting initial or additional fair value adjustment is made at that time.  
 
 
29

Information considered in a determination not to order an updated appraisal includes the availability and reliability of tax assessment records, the results of any independent real estate evaluation, and significant changes in capitalization rates for income properties since the original appraisal.  Other facts and circumstances on a case by case basis may be considered relative to a decision to order or not to order an updated appraisal.  If, in the judgment of management, a reliable collateral value estimate can not be obtained by an alternative method, an updated appraisal is obtained.

Circumstances that may warrant a re-appraisal for non-performing (impaired) loans might include foreclosure proceedings or a material adverse change in the borrower’s condition or that of the collateral underlying the loan.  Examples include bankruptcy filing by the debtor or guarantors, loss of a major tenant in an income property, or a significant increase in capitalization rates for income properties.  In some cases, management may decide that an updated appraisal for a non-performing loan is not necessary.  In such cases, an estimate of the fair value of the collateral for the loans would be made by management by reference to current tax assessment records, a current independent real estate evaluation, the latest appraised value, and knowledge of collateral value fluctuations in a loan’s market area.

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 or independent real estate evaluations are obtained.  If an appraisal is less than 12 months old, the only adjustment made to appraised values is the 10% discount for selling costs.  If an appraisal is older than 12 months, management will use judgment based on knowledge of current market values and specific facts surrounding any particular property to determine if an additional valuation adjustment may be necessary.

For real estate-secured impaired loans, if the Company does not have an adequate appraisal a new one is ordered to determine fair value.  An appraisal that would be considered adequate for real estate-secured loans is one that is less than 12 months or one that is more than 12 months old but alternative methods with which to monitor the collateral value exist, such as reference to frequently updated tax assessments, or independent real estate evaluations.  Appraisals that would be considered inadequate for real estate-secured loans include appraisals older than 12 months and with a property located in a jurisdiction that does not reassess property values on a regular basis, or with a property to which substantial changes have been made since the last assessment. 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.

It is the Company’s policy to account for partially charged-off loans consistently both before and after updated appraisals are obtained.  Partially charged-off loans are placed in non-accrual status and remain in that status until the borrower has made a minimum of six consecutive monthly payments on a timely basis and there is evidence that the borrower has the ability to repay the balance of the loan plus accrued interest in full.   Partially charged-off loans are not automatically returned to accrual status when updated appraisals are obtained.
 
        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 operations.

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 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 construction.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company had one OREO property considered to be in construction with a carrying value of approximately $1.1 million.

For the purpose of 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 “Other real estate owned expenses” on the consolidated statements of operations.

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
 
 
31

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.  U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 Cash Equivalents

For those cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans, Net and Loans Held for Sale

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market inputs at which loans with similar terms and qualities would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Where quoted market prices were available, primarily for certain residential mortgage loans, such market rates were utilized as estimates for fair value.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair values.

Deposits

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, the fair value is determined using the discounted cash flow method.  The discount rate used is equal to the rate currently offered on similar products.


Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Short-Term Debt

The carrying amounts approximate fair values.

FHLB Borrowings, Long-Term and Subordinated Debt

For variable rate long-term debt, fair values are based on carrying values.  For fixed rate debt, fair values are estimated based on observable market prices and discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates for borrowings of similar remaining maturities and characteristics.  The fair values of the Company's Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

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 creditworthiness of the counterparties.  For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the
 
 
32

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 September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair values of loan commitments and standby letters of credit were deemed immaterial; therefore, they have not been included in the table below.

The estimated fair values, and related carrying amounts, of the Company's financial instruments are as follows as of the indicated dates:

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 11.                      Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (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
 
 
33

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 consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310) – Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.”  The new disclosure guidance significantly expands the existing requirements and will lead to greater transparency into an entity’s exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements.  The extensive new disclosures of information as of the end of a reporting period became 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 roll forward and modification disclosures, were required for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  The Company has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangible – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.”  The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.”  The guidance requires pro forma disclosure for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period.  If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma information should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period.  ASU 2010-29 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Final Rule No. 33-9002, “Interactive Data to Improve Financial Reporting.”  The rule requires companies to submit financial statements in extensible business reporting language (XBRL) format with their SEC filings on a phased-in schedule.  Large accelerated filers and foreign large accelerated filers using U.S. GAAP were required to provide interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2010.  All remaining filers are required to provide interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2011.  The Company complied with this Rule beginning with the filing of the June 30, 2011 Form 10-Q.

In March 2011, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 114.  This SAB revises or rescinds portions of the interpretive guidance included in the codification of the Staff Accounting Bulletin Series.  This update is intended to make the relevant interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting guidance issued as a part of the FASB’s Codification.  The principal changes involve revision or removal of accounting guidance references and other conforming changes to ensure consistency of referencing through the SAB Series.  The effective date for SAB 114 is March 28, 2011.   The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 
34

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310) – A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.”  The amendments in this ASU clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession to a debtor.  They also clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulty.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted.  Retrospective application to the beginning of the annual period of adoption for modifications occurring on or after the beginning of the annual adoption period is required.  As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered to be impaired.  For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The Company has adopted ASU 2011-02 and included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) – Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.”  The amendments in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date.  Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.”  This ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and IASB to develop a single, converged fair value framework on how (not when) to measure fair value and what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements.  The ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP (Topic 820), with many of the amendments made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with prospective application.  Early application is not permitted.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income.”  The objective of this ASU is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  The amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The single statement of comprehensive income should include the components of net income, a total for net income, the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income.  In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present all the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income.  The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, the option for an entity to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects, or the calculation or reporting of earnings per share.  The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require transition disclosures.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2011, the SEC issued Final Rule No. 33-9250, “Technical Amendments to Commission Rules and Forms related to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.”  The SEC has adopted technical amendments to various rules and forms under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Investment Company Act of 1940.  These revisions were necessary to conform those rules and forms to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  The technical amendments include revision of certain rules in Regulation S-X, certain items in Regulation S-K, and various rules and forms prescribed under the Securities Act, Exchange Act and Investment Company Act.  The Release was effective as of August 12, 2011.  The adoption of the release did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangible – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Goodwill for Impairment.”  The amendments in this ASU permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors related to goodwill to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill test described in Topic 350.  The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent.  Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-08 will have on its consolidated financial statements.


The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition at September 30, 2011 and results of operations of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report and in the 2010 Form 10-K.  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, 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, Fauquier and western Prince William as well as the town of Williamsburg, Virginia and the city of Richmond, Virginia.  The Bank operates seven financial service centers and two limited service facilities. Middleburg Investment Group is a non-bank holding
 
 
36

company that was formed in the fourth quarter of 2005.  It has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Middleburg Trust Company which is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, and maintains offices in Williamsburg, Virginia and in several of Middleburg Bank’s facilities.  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 subsidiary, Middleburg Trust Company, generates fee income by providing trust and investment management 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 attributable to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased to $3.8 million from a net loss of $4.3 million during the same period in 2010.  Net income attributable to the Company for the third quarter increased to $1.4 million from a net loss of $5.8 million during the third quarter of 2010.  Earnings per fully diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.55 per share versus a net loss of $0.61 per share for the same period in 2010 and $0.20 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus a net loss of $0.83 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Annualized return on total average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 0.46%, compared to -0.55% for the same period in 2010.  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, 2011, was 5.07%, compared to -5.54% for the first nine months of 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 $157,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from the balance at December 31, 2010.  The provision for loan losses was $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 versus $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $1.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 versus $9.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

 
37

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $28.0 million compared to $24.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Total non-interest income increased $587,000 to $18.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $18.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Total non-interest expenses increased approximately $670,000 to $39.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $38.6 million for the same period in 2010.
 
Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $9.6 million compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Total non-interest income increased by $723,000 to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Total non-interest expenses decreased approximately $310,000 to $14.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 from $14.4 million for the same period in 2010.
 
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 throughout 2011 and beyond.  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 resources 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

Middleburg Bank monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  Middleburg 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.

 
38

Middleburg Bank evaluates various loans individually for impairment as required by applicable accounting standards.  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 with a group of loans that have similar characteristics.

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 standards and risk selection; level of experience, ability and depth of lending management; and national and local economic conditions.

The amount of estimated impairment for individually evaluated loans and groups of loans is added together for a total estimate of loan losses.  This estimate of losses is compared to the allowance for loan losses of 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 $6.2 million in intangible assets and goodwill at September 30, 2011, a decrease of $116,000 or 1.8% since December 31, 2010.

  On April 1, 2002, the Company acquired Middleburg Investment Advisors 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.  On January 3, 2011, Middleburg Investment Advisors was consolidated into Middleburg Trust Company and ceased operating as an independent entity.  The goodwill and intangible assets of the former Middleburg Investment Advisors are now reflected in the records of Middleburg Trust Company.  Approximately $942,000 of the $6.2 million in intangible assets and goodwill at September 30, 2011 was attributable directly 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.
 
 
39

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.

In addition, current 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.  The most recent evaluation was conducted as of September 30, 2010.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company recognized two consolidated subsidiaries as reporting units for the purpose of goodwill evaluation and reporting:  Southern Trust Mortgage (“STM”) and Middleburg Investment Group (“MIG”).   MIG is the parent company of Middleburg Trust Company and the former Middleburg Investment Advisors.  The following table shows the allocation of goodwill between the two reporting units and the percentage by which the fair value of each reporting unit as of September 30, 2010 (the most recent fair value evaluation date) exceeded the carrying value as of that date.  Management does not believe the estimated fair values have changed significantly from September 30, 2010 to September 30, 2011.

Management estimates fair value utilizing multiple methodologies which include discounted cash flows, comparable companies, third-party sale and assets under management analysis. Determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units requires management to make judgments and assumptions related to various items, including estimates of future operating results, allocations of indirect expenses, and discount rates.  Management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, the fair value of each reporting unit could be different in the future if actual results or market conditions differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

 
40

The Company’s forecasted cash flows for its reporting units assume a stable economic environment and consistent long-term growth in loan originations and assets under management over the projected periods.  Additionally, expenses are assumed to be consistently correlated with projected asset and revenue growth over the time periods projected.  Although we believe the key assumptions underlying the financial forecasts to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond the control of the Company.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the forecasted results will be realized and variations from the forecast may be material.  If weak economic conditions continue or worsen for a prolonged period of time, or if the reporting unit loses key personnel, the fair value of the reporting unit may be adversely affected which may result in impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets in the future.  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.

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 $22,000 in losses related to other-than-temporary impairment on trust-preferred securities was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 with approximately $21,000 recognized in the third quarter. At September 30, 2011, the Company had $501,000 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 had 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 2011.  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 2011.

Financial Condition
 
 
Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity

Total assets for the Company were $1.2 billion at September 30, 2011, an increase of $49.1 million or 4.4% compared to total assets at December 31, 2010.  Total average assets increased 6.8% from $1.04 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $1.11 billion for the same period in 2011.  Total liabilities were $1.05 billion at September 30, 2011, compared to $1.00 billion at December 31, 2010.  Total average liabilities increased $72.3 million or 7.8% to $1.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $933.3 million for the same period in 2010.  Average shareholders’ equity decreased 1.7% or $1.7 million over the same periods.

Loans

Total loans, including loans held for sale at September 30, 2011 were at $743.0 million, higher by $24.1 million from the December 31, 2010 amount of $718.7 million.  Loans held for sale increased to $66.9 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $59.4 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of 12.7% during the period.  The primary reason for the increase in loans held for sale was an increase in mortgage originations during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. Southern Trust Mortgage originated $470.0 million in loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $555.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The Company experienced a decrease in real estate construction loans, which were $48.6 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $68.1 million at December 31, 2010.  Real estate mortgage loans of $513.6 million at September 30, 2011 increased from the December 31, 2010 amount of $510.9 million.  Commercial loans, which are primarily loans to businesses, increased to $91.3 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $56.4 million at December 31, 2010.  Net charge-offs were $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 versus $4.7 million for the same period in 2010.  The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $2.6 million compared to $11.4 million for the same period in 2010 and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2011 was $15.1 million or 2.24% of total loans outstanding, excluding loans held for sale, compared to $15.0 million and 2.27% at December 31, 2010.

Non-performing Loans

Non-performing loans were $32.5 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $31.6 million at December 31, 2010.

Non-accrual loans were $30.5 million at the end of the third quarter compared to $29.4 million as of December 31, 2010, representing an increase of 3.7% during the first nine months of 2011.   The primary reason for the increase in non-accrual loans during the year was because a large credit that was more than 90 days delinquent in the first quarter, was moved to non-accrual status in the second quarter of 2011.

Restructured Loans

Included in the “Nonperforming Assets” table above are troubled debt restructurings (“TDR’s”) that were classified as impaired.  The total balance of TDR’s at September 30, 2011 was $8.4 million of which $8.0 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 $4.5 million in total restructured loans at December 31, 2010, an increase of $3.9 million or 86.7%.  The amount of the valuation allowance related to total TDR’s was $1.5 million and $532,000 as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 respectively.

The $8.0 million in nonaccrual TDR’s as of September 30, 2011 is comprised of $572,000 million in real estate construction loans, $3.9 million in 1-4 family real estate loans, $2.3 million in non-residential real estate loans, $764,000 in commercial loans, and $416,000 in consumer loans.  The $404,000 in TDR’s which were performing as agreed under restructured terms as of September 30, 2011 is represented by  two 1-4 family real estate loans.  The Company considers all loans classified as TDR’s to be impaired as of September 30, 2011.

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.  No restructured loans were charged off during the quarter or nine month period ended September 30, 2011.  The Company does not utilize formal modification programs or packages when loans are considered for restructuring.  Any loan restructuring is based on the borrower’s circumstances and may include modifications to more than one of the terms and conditions of the loan.

The Company has not performed any commercial real estate or other type of loan workout whereby the existing loan would have been structured into multiple new loans.


Securities

Securities, excluding Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank stock, increased to $303.0 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $252.0 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of 20.2% during the period. The balance in interest-bearing bank balances decreased to $41.4 million as of September 30, 2011 versus $64.7 million at December 31, 2010.  The Company sold $26.2 million in securities, received proceeds of $42.1 million from maturities and principal payments, and purchased securities of $112.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Approximately $22,000 in losses related to other-than-temporary impairments on trust-preferred securities was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  At September 30, 2011, the Company had $501,000 in trust-preferred securities in its portfolio of which $257,000 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, 2011, the year-to-date tax equivalent yield on the securities portfolio was 3.65%.

Premises and Equipment

Net Premises and equipment increased by $352,000 from $21.1 million at December 31, 2010 to $21.5 million at September 30, 2011.  The increase 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 $116,000 to $6.2 million at September 30, 2011 as the result of amortization of identified intangibles related to the acquisition of Middleburg Investment Advisors.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned, net of valuation allowance, decreased by $2.3 million to $6.1 million at September 30, 2011 from $8.4 million at December 31, 2010.  The change in balance is the net of foreclosed real estate loans  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, 2011, the Company received proceeds of $2.9 million from the sale of other real estate owned properties and incurred a net loss of $336,000 on the sales. Valuation adjustments to properties held in OREO were approximately $774,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

  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 $30.8 million at September 30, 2011 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.

Time deposits decreased $14.7 million from December 31, 2010 to $308.4 million at September 30, 2011.  Time deposits include brokered certificates of deposit and CDARS deposits, which decreased $23.1 million or 18.9% to $99.2 million at September 30, 2011 from the December 31, 2010 amount of $122.3 million.  The brokered certificates of deposit have maturities ranging from one month to five years.  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“Repo Accounts”) increased $5.7 million from

 
46


$25.6 million at December 31, 2010 to $31.3 million at September 30, 2011.  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.

The Company’s net interest margin is not a measurement 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

 
51


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.

53


share not owned by the Company reported as “Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Subsidiary.”  Southern Trust Mortgage originated $180.5 million in mortgage loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to $217.7 million originated during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Net occupancy expense increased by $143,000 or 9.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net occupancy expense increased $365,000 or 7.9 % to $5.0 million compared to the same period ended September 30, 2010.  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 1.5% to $607,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $598,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  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 of each year, net of adjustments.

Other real estate owned expense increased by $23,000 to $689,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in expenses was primarily due to increases in legal expenses related to foreclosure, valuation adjustments and losses on the sales of these assets.

The decrease in FDIC insurance expense for the three and nine month periods occurred because of a change in expense calculation methods implemented by the FDIC during 2011.

Other expenses decreased 24.8% or $1.7 million to $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This decrease reflects restructuring charges and other expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2010 that were not incurred in 2011.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2011 was $15.1 million, or 2.24% of total portfolio loans, compared to $15.0 million, or 2.27% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2010.  The provision for loan losses was $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net loan charge-offs totaled $2.4 million compared to net loan charge-offs of $4.7 million for the same period in 2010.  There were $1.6 million in loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing at September 30, 2011, compared to $909,000 at December 31, 2010.  Non-performing loans were $32.5 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $31.5 million at December 31, 2010.  Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2011.  Loans classified as loss, doubtful, substandard and special mention are adequately reserved for and are not expected to have a material impact beyond what has been reserved.  Approximately $1.5 million has been included in the allowance for loan losses related to restructured loans.

Non-performing assets decreased from $39.9 million or 3.6% of total assets at December 31, 2010 to $38.5 million or 3.3% of total assets as of September 30, 2011.  The decrease was primarily due to the sale and disposition of Other Real Estate Owned properties during the nine month period.  Non-accrual loans increased from $29.4 million at December 31, 2010 to $30.5 million at September 30, 2011.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $107.6 million and $100.0 million, respectively.  Total common shares outstanding at September 30, 2011 were 6,996,932.

At September 30, 2011, the Company’s tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 12.9% and 14.1%, respectively, compared to 12.8% and 14.1% at December 31, 2010.  The Company’s leverage ratio was 9.0% at September 30, 2011 compared to 9.0% at December 31, 2010.  The Company’s capital structure places it above the well capitalized regulatory guidelines, which enables it to take advantage of business opportunities and indicates 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 $24.0 million, none of which were outstanding at September 30, 2011.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $31.3 million and $25.6 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 $147.0 million as of September 30, 2011.  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 2011.  Southern Trust Mortgage has two revolving lines of credit with a regional bank having a combined credit limit of $45.0 million ($25.0 million and $20.0 million).  These lines are primarily used to fund its loans held for sale.    Middleburg Bank guarantees up to $10 million of borrowings on these lines. At September 30, 2011, one line had an outstanding balance of $5.9 million and is included in total short-term borrowings on the Company’s balance sheet.  The second line had no outstanding balance at September 30, 2011.  Short-term and long-term advances averaged $5.7 million and $79.8 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

At September 30, 2011, cash, interest bearing deposits with financial institutions, federal funds sold, short-term investments, loans held for sale and securities available for sale were 45.2% of total deposits.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

Commitments to extend credit (excluding standby letters of credit) increased $1.8 million to $85.1 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $83.3 million at December 31, 2010.  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 $1.7 million at September 30, 2011 representing a decrease of $640,000 from December 31, 2010.

Contractual obligations, representing long term debt obligations, operating leases, and capital notes, increased $13.1 million to $109.7 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $96.5 million at December 31, 2010.   These results do not include changes in certificates of deposit and short-term borrowings.  The increase resulted from additional long term debt of $15.0 million assumed during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and a slight decline in contractual lease obligations.  Additional information on commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and contractual obligations is included in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K.

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 Bank.  In this capacity, ALCO develops guidelines and strategies that govern the Company’s asset/liability management

 
57


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.  The results of the simulation are dependent upon assumptions and parameters within the model used which change from time to time based on historical interest rate relationships, current market conditions, and anticipated future market conditions.  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, 2011 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 excluding the assets of Southern Trust Mortgage.  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, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

 
Estimated Net Interest Income Sensitivity
Rate Change
As of September 30, 2011
As of December 31, 2010
+ 200 bp
  (0.4%)
  (6.4%)
- 200 bp
(11.6%)
(12.4%)
 
At September 30, 2011, the Company’s interest rate risk model indicated that, in a rising rate environment of 200 basis points, net interest income could decrease by 0.4% on average over the next 12 months.  For the same time period the interest rate risk model indicated that in a declining rate environment of 200 basis points, net interest income could decrease by 11.6% on average over the next 12 months.  While these numbers are subjective based upon the assumptions and parameters used within the model, management believes the balance sheet is properly structured to minimize interest rate risk in the future.

Based upon a September 30, 2011 simulation, the Company could expect an average negative impact to net interest income of $145,000 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 $4.1 million over the next 12 months.

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, and reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cash flows.  Management routinely monitors these

assumptions however the Company cannot make any assurances about the predictive nature of the 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.



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 Company) 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.
