MIDDLEBURG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the results of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, 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, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”) of Middleburg Financial Corporation (the “Company”).  The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 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.

Certain amounts in the 2012 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation.   The amounts of these items are not considered to be material variations from the original classifications and presentations.
 
Note 2.  
Share–Based Compensation Plan

As of March 31, 2013, 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.  The 2006 Equity Compensation plan was amended  by the Company's shareholders at the Annual Meeting held on May, 1, 2013 to increase the total number of shares which may be awarded.  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 430,000 shares of common stock under the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan.

The Company recognized $104,000 for stock-based compensation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

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

The weighted average remaining contractual term for options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2013 was 4.5 years.  As of March 31, 2013,  all compensation expense related to stock option awards has been recognized.  The Aggregate Intrinsic Value above represents the difference between the market value of the stock at the end of the period and the weighted average exercise price of the options at the end of the period.

The amortized cost and fair value of securities available for sale as of March 31, 2013, by contractual maturity are shown below.  Maturities may differ from contractual maturities in mortgage-backed, other asset-backed, and corporate securities because the mortgages, loans, and securities underlying the securities may be called or repaid without any penalties.  Therefore, these securities are not included in the maturity categories in the following maturity summary.

A total of 58 securities have been identified by the Company as temporarily impaired at March 31, 2013.  Of the 58 securities, 57 are investment grade and 1 is speculative grade.  Agency, non-agency mortgage-backed securities, municipal and corporate debt securities make up the majority of temporarily impaired securities at March 31, 2013.  The speculative grade security is a municipal bond.  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 March 31, 2013.  Investment decisions reflect the strategic asset/liability objectives of the Company.  

Trust preferred securities

As of March 31, 2013, the Company held no trust preferred securities in its investment portfolio.

 
12


The Company previously held trust preferred securities that were identified as other-than-temporarily impaired.  These securities were sold during the second quarter of 2012 with a recognized net loss of approximately $142,000.  Additionally, these securities incurred cumulative other-than-temporary credit losses recognized in prior period earnings of approximately $2.4 million through December 31, 2011.

The Company also previously held one trust preferred security that was not considered other-than-temporarily impaired while held in its investment portfolio.  The security was sold during the third quarter of 2012 with a recognized net loss of approximately $149,000.  No credit losses were recognized on this security while held.

Other-than-temporary impairment losses

At March 31, 2013, the Company concluded that no adverse change in cash flows occurred during the quarter and did not consider any portfolio securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired.  Based on this analysis and because the Company does not intend to sell securities prior to maturity and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell any 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 March 31, 2013.  However, there is a risk that the Company’s continuing reviews could result in recognition of other-than-temporary impairment charges in the future.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2012, no credit related impairment losses were recognized by the Company.

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 can be determined.

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

The following tables present a summary of loan classifications by class of loan as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

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 (“TDRs”) that were classified as impaired.  The total balance of TDRs at March 31, 2013 was $12.0 million of which $7.1 million were included in the Company’s non-accrual loan totals at that date and $4.9 million represented loans performing as agreed according to the restructured terms. The total amount of TDRs is unchanged from the amount at December 31, 2012.  The amount of the valuation allowance related to total TDRs was $1.5 million and $2.0 million as of  March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively.

The $7.1 million in nonaccrual TDRs as of March 31, 2013 is comprised of $62,000 in real estate construction loans, $2.3 million in 1-4 family real estate loans, $4.7 million in other real estate loans, and $55,000 in commercial loans.  The $4.9 million in TDRs which were performing as agreed under restructured terms as of March 31, 2013 is comprised of $106,000 in real estate construction loans, $1.8 million in 1-4 family real estate loans, $2.8 million in other real estate loans and $206,000 in commercial loans.  The Company considers all loans classified as TDRs to be impaired.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company modified three loans that were considered to be TDRs and are summarized in the above table.  The maturity dates were extended on two of the loans and repayment terms were modified on one loan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company identified two loans with an aggregate recorded investment of $148,000 as TDRs for which the allowance for loan losses had previously been measured under a general allowance methodology. Upon identifying these loans as TDRs, the Company evaluated them for impairment.  On the basis of a current evaluation of loss for these loans, they required no allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2013.

As of March 31, 2013, two loans restructured as TDRs during the three month period with an aggregate recorded investment of $148,000 are included in the Company’s non-accrual loans total.  The remaining loan identified as a TDR during this period is included in the Company's non-performing assets that are performing as agreed under the restructured terms.

A total of four loans modified as TDRs in the past twelve months subsequently defaulted (i.e., 90 days or more past due following a restructuring) during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

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 TDRs 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. 

Note 5.  
Allowance for Loan Losses

As a result of improving trends in non accrual loans and improved risk ratings for several loans during the quarter, the Company recorded a recovery of loan losses of $188,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to a provision for loan losses of  $792,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Non-accruals as a percentage of total loans have decreased from 3.26% in the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to 2.84% in the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  The recovery of loan losses allowed the reserve ratio to decrease to 1.89% of portfolio loans at March 31, 2013 from 2.02% at December 31, 2012.

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 commissions on investment transactions.  The wealth management services are conducted by Middleburg Investment Group.

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 and accounting 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.                      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.   During 2011, the Warrant was sold by the U.S. Treasury at public auction and has not been exercised as of March 31, 2013.

Note 9.                      Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements 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.
 
 
21

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

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

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.

There were no financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level III) for the three months ended March 31, 2013
 
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.

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 three months ended March 31, 2013.  Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within income from mortgage banking activities on the consolidated statements of income.

Impaired Loans

Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected.  The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of the 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 a 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.  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.  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 income.

 
23

 
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.  At the time of any change in tax assessment, an appropriate adjustment is made to the appraised value.  Information considered in a determination not to order an updated appraisal includes the availability and reliability of tax assessment records and any 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 cannot be obtained by an alternative method, an updated appraisal would be 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, the latest appraised value, and knowledge of collateral value fluctuations in a loan’s market area.  If, in the judgment of management, a reliable collateral value estimate cannot be obtained by an alternative method, an updated appraisal would be obtained.

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

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. If the collateral value is significantly adjusted due to differences in the comparable properties, or is discounted by the Company because of marketability or other factors, then the fair value is considered Level III.  Any initial fair value adjustment is charged against the Allowance for Loan Losses.  Any subsequent fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and included in other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.

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 income.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation.  Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices.  However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.  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.  (See "Impaired Loans" above for a discussion of valuation methodologies for loans considered to be impaired.)

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The carrying amount of bank owned life insurance is a reasonable estimate of 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.

 
26


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 analysis 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 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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 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 10.                                Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.”  This ASU requires entities to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual
reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 
28

 
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.”  The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities that have indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, reported in their financial statements.  The amendments in this ASU provide an entity with the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired to determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. The amendments also enhance the consistency of impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories by permitting an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to calculate the asset's fair value when testing an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment.  The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.”  The amendments in this ASU clarify the scope for derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to netting arrangements.  An entity is required to apply the amendments for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”  The amendments in this ASU require an entity to present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income.  In addition, the amendments require a cross-reference to other disclosures currently required for other reclassification items to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period.  Companies should apply these amendments for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2012.  The Company has included the required disclosures from ASU 2013-02 in the consolidated financial statements.

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition at March 31, 2013 and results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2013 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 2012 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 twelve financial service centers and one limited service facility. Middleburg Investment Group is a non-bank holding company that was formed in the fourth quarter of  2005.  It has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Middleburg Trust Company which 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 Middleburg Financial Corporation for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased 16.1% to $1.3 million from $1.6 million over the same period in 2012.  Earnings per fully diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $0.19 per share versus $0.23 per share for the same period in 2012.

Annualized return on total average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 0.44%, compared to 0.54% for the same period in 2012.  Annualized return on total average equity of Middleburg Financial Corporation, which excludes the non-controlling interest in Southern Trust Mortgage, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 4.71%, compared to 5.95% for the same period in 2012.

As a result of improving trends in non accrual loans and improved risk ratings for several loans during the quarter, the Company recorded a negative loan loss provision of $188,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $792,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Non-accruals as a percentage of total loans have decreased from 3.26% in the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to 2.84% in the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  The negative provision allowed the reserve ratio to decrease to 1.89% of portfolio loans at March 31, 2013 from 2.02% at December 31, 2012.  After this quarter's reserve decrease, the coverage ratio for non-performing assets (allowance for loan losses balance divided by non-performing assets) increased to 40.2% of nonperforming assets from 37.9% at December 31, 2012. 

 
31


Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $9.4 million compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Total non-interest income decreased to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Total non-interest expense increased approximately $614,000 to $13.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $13.3 million for the same period in 2012.

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 rules and regulations.  While not fully 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 Company’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:  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.

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

 
32


imprecision in estimates of losses due to various uncertainties and variability related to the factors used, and therefore a reasonable range around the estimate of losses is derived and used to ascertain whether the allowance is too high.  If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail and it is determined that the allowance is not adequate to absorb the new estimate of probable losses, an additional provision for loan losses would be made, which amount may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Intangibles and Goodwill

The Company had approximately $6.0 million in intangible assets and goodwill at March 31, 2013, a decrease of $42,000 or 0.7% since December 31, 2012, which is attributable to regular amortization of intangible assets.

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 merged into Middleburg Trust Company and its goodwill balance is reflected in the total goodwill balance reported for Middleburg Investment Group of $3.4 million.  The remaining balance of unamortized identified intangible assets related to the acquisition of Middleburg Investment Advisors is approximately $690,000.  Approximately $1.0 million of the $6.0 million in total intangible assets and goodwill at March 31, 2013 was attributable directly to the Company’s investment in Middleburg Trust Company exclusive of the goodwill related to the former Middleburg Investment Advisors.  With the consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage, the Company recognized $1.9 million in goodwill as part of its equity investment.

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

In addition, current accounting standards permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two step goodwill impairment test.  If a two step process is necessary, the first step is to identify whether or not any  impairment exists.  The second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any.  The most recent evaluation of the Company's goodwill balance was conducted as of December 31, 2012.

As of March 31, 2013, 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 December 31, 2012 (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 December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013.

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.

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.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI)

There were no losses related to other-than-temporary impairment on  securities  for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

(1) Amount reflects restructured loans that are performing as agreed to the restructured terms and are not included in nonaccrual loans.

The Company utilizes the ratios included in the above table to evaluate the relative level of nonperforming assets included in the Company’s balance sheet.  Changes in the ratios assist management in evaluating the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and any reserve against other real estate owned.

Our accounting policy for foreclosed property does not include any allowance for loan loss amounts subsequent to the reclassification event which writes the loan down to fair value when moved into foreclosed property.

Non-performing Loans

Non-performing loans were $25.7 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $27.8 million at December 31, 2012.

Non-accrual loans were $20.0 million at the end of the first quarter of 2013 compared to $21.7 million as of December 31, 2012, representing a decrease of 7.8% during the first three months of 2013.  The decrease was primarily attributable to non-accrual loans being transferred to the Other Real Estate Owned category during the quarter.

 
36

Restructured Loans

Included in the "Nonperforming Assets" table above  are troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) that were classified as impaired.  The total balance of TDRs at March 31, 2013 was $12.0 million of which $7.1 million were included in the Company’s non-accrual loan totals at that date and $4.9 million million represented loans performing as agreed according to the restructured terms. Total restructured loans were unchanged from the balance at December 31, 2012.  The amount of the valuation allowance related to total TDRs was $1.5 million and $2.0 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively.

The $7.1 million in nonaccrual TDRs as of March 31, 2013 is comprised of $62,000 in real estate construction loans, $2.3 million in 1-4 family real estate loans, $4.7 million in other real estate loans, and $55,000 in commercial loans.  The $4.9 million in TDRs which were performing as agreed under restructured terms as of March 31, 2013 is comprised of $106,000 in real estate construction loans, $1.8 million in 1-4 family real estate loans, $2.8 million in other real estate loans and $206,000 in commercial loans.  The Company considers all loans classified as TDRs to be impaired.

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.  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.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned, net of valuation allowance, decreased by $2.0 million to $7.9 million at March 31, 2013 from $9.9 million at December 31, 2012.  The decrease was primarily due to the sale of several large Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") properties during the quarter. 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 three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company received proceeds of $3.2 million from the sale of other real estate owned properties and incurred a net loss of $628,000 on the sales. No valuation adjustments to properties held in OREO were made during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Securities

Securities, excluding Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank stock, were $331.7 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $319.5 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of $12.2 million or 3.8% during the period. The balance in interest-bearing bank balances decreased to $43.8 million as of  March 31, 2013 versus $47.3 million at December 31, 2012.  The Company sold $3.9 million in securities, received proceeds of $24.3 million from maturities and principal payments, and purchased securities of $41.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  No losses related to other-than-temporary impairments were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The Company will continue to maintain its securities portfolio as a source of liquidity and collateral.  At March 31, 2013, the year-to-date tax equivalent yield on the securities portfolio was 3.09%.

Premises and Equipment

Net premises and equipment decreased by $200,000 from $20.6 million at December 31, 2012 to $20.4 million at March 31, 2013.  The decrease is the net of the change in accumulated depreciation and additions to premises and equipment during the period.


Goodwill and Other Identified Intangibles

Goodwill and other identified intangibles decreased by $42,000 in the first three months of 2013 to $6.0 million at March 31, 2013 as the result of amortization of identified intangibles related to the acquisition of Middleburg Investment Advisors.

 
37

 
Other Assets

For the three month period ended March 31, 2013, interest income from the securities portfolio and invested liquid funds decreased by $163,000 to $2.2 million compared to the same period in 2012.  The tax equivalent yield on securities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased 25 basis points to 3.09% compared to 3.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Interest expense for securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased to $80,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $83,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Interest expense related to short-term borrowings decreased  by $119,000 from $148,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $29,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  Interest expense related to FHLB advances and other debt decreased by $2,000 from $297,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $295,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 Average balances in interest checking, regular savings and money market accounts increased by $54.6 million when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2013 to the same period in 2012.  The weighted average cost of these accounts for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was 0.26% and 0.48%, respectively.  The average balance of certificates of deposits decreased by $32.0 million when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2013 to the three months ended  March 31, 2012. The weighted average cost of the Company’s certificates of deposits decreased by 24 basis points to 1.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 versus 1.67% the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 3.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 3.69% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012.  The average yield on earning assets was 4.08% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to 4.56% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, representing a decrease of 48 basis points. The drop in net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the previous quarter was principally due to a reduction in net interest income coupled with an increase in average earning assets during the quarter.

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 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.

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 March 31, 2013.  At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $31.9 million and $34.0 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings pursuant to repurchase agreements.
  
The Company has a credit line at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta with available borrowing capacity of $76.4 million as of March 31, 2013.  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 three months of 2013.  Southern Trust Mortgage has a revolving line of credit with a regional bank having a credit limit of $24.0 million.  This line is primarily used to fund its loans held for sale.  Middleburg Bank guarantees up to $10 million of borrowings on this line.  At March 31, 2013, the line had an outstanding balance of $519,000 and is included in total short-term borrowings on the Company’s balance sheet.    

At March 31, 2013, cash, interest bearing deposits with financial institutions, federal funds sold, short-term investments, loans held for sale and securities available for sale were 44.6% of total deposits.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

Commitments to extend credit (excluding standby letters of credit) increased $8.9 million to $87.1 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $78.3 million at December 31, 2012.  Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent expected future cash flows.  Standby letters of credit were $2.5 million at March 31, 2013 representing a decrease of $905,000 from December 31, 2012.

Contractual obligations, representing FHLB advance obligations, operating leases, and capital notes, increased $6.3 million to $122.3 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $116.0 million at December 31, 2012.   These results do not include changes in certificates of deposit and short-term borrowings.   Additional information on commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and contractual obligations is included in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K.

Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reliable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.


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 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 March 31, 2013 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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

+ 200 bp
 
1.2%
 
0.4%
- 200 bp
 
(11.5)%
 
(11.1)%
 
At March 31, 2013, the Company’s interest rate risk model indicated that, in a rising rate environment of 200 basis points, net interest income could increase by 1.2% 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 11.50% 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.

 
45

Based upon a March 31, 2013 simulation, the Company could expect an average positive impact to net interest income of $453,000 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 $4.3 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 (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) 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.

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.
 


There are no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business, to which the Company, including its subsidiaries, is a party or of which the property of the Company is subject.


Our operations are subject to many risks that could adversely affect our future financial condition and performance and, therefore, the market value of our securities. The risk factors that are applicable to us are outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in this report.
