Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1:
Bay Banks of Virginia, Inc. (the Company) owns 100% of the Bank of Lancaster (the Bank) and 100% of Bay Trust Company of Virginia, Inc. (the Trust Company). The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Bank, the Trust Company, and Bay Banks of Virginia.
The accounting and reporting policies of the registrant conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to the general practices within the banking industry. However, in managements opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements included in the registrants 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders.
As of March 31, 2004, the Company has four stock-based compensation plans. The Company accounts for the plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 if the Company had applied fair value recognition provisions of FASB No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding the results of operations and the financial condition of Bay Banks of Virginia, Inc. (the Company) a bank holding company. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the above consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GENERAL. The Companys financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (1) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and (2) SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. The use of these values is inherently subjective and our actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates.
The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Managements periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions.
GOODWILL. In October 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions. The Statement amends previous interpretive guidance on the application of the purchase method of accounting to acquisitions of financial institutions, and requires the application of Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to branch acquisitions if such transactions meet the definition of a business combination. The provisions of the Statement do not apply to transactions between two or more mutual enterprises. In addition, the Statement amends Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, to include in its scope core deposit intangibles of financial institutions. Accordingly, such intangibles are subject to a recoverability test based on undiscounted cash flows, and to the impairment recognition and measurement provisions required for other long-lived assets held and used. The Company adopted this interpretation of Statement 147 for the intangibles associated with branch acquisitions that were executed in 1994, 1997, and 2000. The Company conducted an in-depth study of the issue and has determined that the intangibles associated with these branch acquisitions qualify as a business combination as described in Statement 141 and 142, as well as Emerging Issues Task Force Ruling 98-3.

EARNINGS SUMMATION
For the three months ended March 31, 2004, net income was $397 thousand as compared to $439 thousand for the comparable period in 2003, a decrease of 9.6%. Diluted earnings per average share for the first three months of 2004 were $0.17 as compared to $0.19 for the first three months of 2003. Annualized return on average assets was .5% for the first three months of 2004 as compared to .7% for the first three months of 2003, a decrease of 28.6%. Annualized return on average equity was 6.3% for the first three months of 2004, compared to 7.0% for the first three months of 2003, a decrease of 10.0%.
The principal source of earnings for the Company is net interest income. Net interest income is the amount by which interest income exceeds interest expense. The net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of interest earning assets. Changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the associated yields and rates, and the volume of non-performing assets have a significant impact on net interest income, the net interest margin, and net income. The annualized net interest margin was 3.66% as of March 31, 2004 compared to 3.74% for the same period in 2003 for a decrease of 2.1%.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the first three months of 2004 was $2.3 million, compared to $2.1 million for the first three months of 2003, an increase of $195 thousand or 9.1%. Increases in net interest income were driven by loan growth (changes in volume) during the first quarter of 2004. Average interest-earning assets totaled $266.2 million for the first three months of 2004 as compared to $238.5 million for the first three months of 2003, an increase of 11.6%. Average interest-earning assets as a percent of total average assets was 91.0% for the first three months of 2004 as compared to 89.7% for the comparable period of 2003, an increase of 1.4%. The annualized yield on average interest-earning assets for the first three months of 2004 was 5.26% as compared to 5.87% for the first three months of 2003, a decrease of 10.4%.
As loan volumes continue to increase, the Company will realize increasing net interest income based upon these increases. These increases are incremental however, as the increase in yield on new loan volume which is replacing Federal Funds Sold, is partially offset by the decline in investment yields. Management expects loan growth to continue to improve throughout 2004, in which case net interest income will continue to improve. In addition, as the investment portfolio management continues, yields on this asset should also improve, thereby further improving net interest income.
Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $227.3 million for the first three months of 2004 as compared to $212.2 million for the first three months of 2003, an increase of 7.1%. The annualized yield (cost) on interest-bearing liabilities for the first three months of 2004 was 1.88% as compared to 2.39% for the first three months of 2003, a decrease of 21.3%.
The net interest spread, which is the difference between the annualized yield on earning assets and the annualized rate on interest bearing liabilities was 3.38% at quarter end 2004 and 3.48% at quarter end 2003. This represents a reduction in net interest spread of 10 basis points or 2.9%.
Average total assets for the first three months of 2004 were $292.7 million as compared to $266.0 million for the first three months of 2003, an increase of 10.0%.
12
Throughout 2003, the Company experienced significant compression in its net interest margin and consequently its net interest income. As the general rate environment reached historic lows during the fourth quarter of 2002 and throughout 2003, the Company experienced heavy volumes of loan prepayments as consumers fled adjustable rate mortgages for conventional 30 year fixed rate loans. These conventional mortgages are not held in the Companys portfolio, but rather, are sold into the secondary market on an individual loan by loan basis. The sale of these loans creates fee income at the time of sale, but reduces the Companys expected future cash flow from interest income and principal repayment. Fortunately, while record numbers of loans were being paid off into the secondary market, record numbers of new loans were being generated for the Companys loan portfolio.
However, as the historically low interest rate environment continues to persist, the new loan volume that is being placed in the Companys loan portfolio is at significantly lower rates than those that were paid off and re-financed into conventional secondary market mortgages during 2003. The first quarter of 2004 has resulted in very strong loan growth. This growth has resulted in increases in net interest income through volume rather than rate. The vast majority of loans being recorded are adjustable and variable rate loans which will re-price upwardly when the interest rate market becomes less accommodative. The balance sheet of the Company is slightly asset sensitive as of quarter end 2004 and is therefore well positioned for a rising rate environment. In contrast, a continuing accommodative interest rate policy will result in further compression in the interest income of the Company.

Through the three months ended March 31, 2004, average interest-earning assets were comprised of the loan portfolio with $196.4 million and the investment portfolio with $58.9 million. For the three month period ended March 31, 2004, compared to the same period in 2003, on a fully tax equivalent basis, tax-exempt investment yields declined to 5.93% from 6.59%, and taxable investment yields decreased to 3.65% from 6.08%, resulting in a decrease in total investment yield to 4.45% from 6.27%. During 2003 the Company experienced higher volumes of called bonds and pay-downs on mortgage-backed investments. Coupled with the sale of bonds, at a gain, the yield on the investment portfolio in real terms has declined. However, management has positioned the bond portfolio with a much shorter average life in anticipation of improving yields.
In the first three months of 2004, gross loans on average yielded 5.74% as compared to 6.46% for the same period in 2003. As mentioned above, loan prepayments were significant in 2003 and have resulted in compression in the net interest margin. The Company has been successful in growing the loan portfolio with variable and adjustable rate loans through the first quarter of 2004. In addition, the Company did not enter into the thirty year fixed rate market and did not, therefore, place any significant amount of fixed rate loans in its portfolio. By keeping the re-pricing terms of the loan portfolio short, the Company is positioned for a rising rate environment.
In an effort to offset the reduction in loan and investment yields, management has reduced the yields (costs) on average interest-bearing deposits during the first three months of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003, as
14
follows. Savings yields were reduced to 1.46% compared to 1.90%, NOW accounts were reduced to 0.51% compared to 1.04%, money market demand accounts were reduced to 0.37% compared to 1.45%, certificates of deposit greater than or equal to $100 thousand were reduced to 3.15% compared to 3.68%, and certificates of deposit less than $100 thousand were reduced to 3.10% compared to 3.44%. The resulting total yield on average deposits through March 31, 2004, was reduced to 1.90% compared to 2.42% for the same period of 2003.
The Company is positioned in a highly competitive environment. The competition for deposits has been historically strong. Management expects that the current deposit interest rate environment will remain throughout 2004. Currently, competition for deposits has not resulted in significant increases in the advertised rates for deposits and this has allowed the Company to maintain a favorable deposit rate structure. However, competitive pressure from other local banks, regional banks, insurance companies, credit unions and credit card companies may increase throughout 2004.

As of March 31, 2004, the Company had interest-earning assets that mature within three months totaling $78.0 million, within twelve months totaling $55.9 million, through five years totaling $96.2 million, and over five years totaling $42.2 million. In comparison, interest-bearing liabilities maturing within three months totaled $60.6 million, within twelve months totaled $71.0 million, within five years totaled $91.7 million and over five years totaled $8.8 million. The tabular information indicates that the Company is slightly asset sensitive at twelve months, and becoming more asset-sensitive beyond one year. Management believes this will position the Company favorably in a rising rate environment. Management is continually reviewing loan and deposit products to modify or develop offerings that are less subject to interest rate risk.
LIQUIDITY
The Company maintains adequate short-term assets to meet the Companys liquidity needs as anticipated by management. Federal funds sold and investments that mature in one year or less provide the major sources of funding for liquidity needs. On March 31, 2004, federal funds sold totaled $15.4 million and securities maturing in one year or less totaled $15.2 million, for a total pool of $30.6 million. The liquidity ratio as of March 31, 2004 was 25.4% as compared to 28.8% as of December 31, 2003. The Company determines this ratio by dividing the sum of cash and cash
15
equivalents, unpledged investment securities and Federal Funds Sold, by net liabilities. Management, through historical analysis, has deemed 15% an adequate liquidity ratio and does not anticipate a significant change in the liquidity structure of the Company. In addition, the Company maintains available lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and several correspondent banks.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
From December 31, 2003, to March 31, 2004, total shareholders equity increased to $25.6 million from $25.1 million or 2.2%. The Companys capital resources are impacted by net unrealized gains or losses on securities. The securities portfolio is marked to market monthly and unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, are recognized as accumulated comprehensive income or loss on the balance sheet and statement of changes in shareholders equity. Shareholders equity before unrealized gains or losses was $24.3 million on March 31, 2004, and $24.1 million on December 31, 2003. Unrealized gains were $1.4 million at quarter end 2004 and $964 thousand at December 31, 2003. This represents an increase of $413 thousand or 42.9% during the three month period.
Book value per share, basic, on March 31, 2004, compared to March 31, 2003, grew to $10.99 from $10.82, an increase of 1.6%. Book value per share, basic, before accumulated comprehensive income on March 31, 2004, compared to March 31, 2003, grew to $10.40 from $10.08, an increase of 3.2%. Cash dividends paid for the three months ended March 31, 2004, were $349 thousand, or $0.15 per share, compared to $323 thousand, or $0.14 per share, for the comparable period ended March 31, 2003 an increase of 7.1%. Average basic shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2004, were 2,325,920 compared to 2,305,385 for the comparable period ended March 31, 2003. The Company began a share repurchase program in August of 1999 and has continued the program into 2004. The plan authorizes a total of 115,000 shares for repurchase.
The Company is subject to minimum regulatory capital ratios as defined by Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council guidelines. As of March 31, 2004 the Company maintained Tier 1 capital of $21.4 million, net risk weighted assets of $202.2 million, and Tier 2 capital of $1.9 million. On March 31, 2004, the Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ratio was 10.6%, the total capital ratio was 11.5%, and the tier 1 leverage ratio was 7.4%. These ratios continue to be well in excess of regulatory minimums.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
As of March 31, 2004, total assets increased by 1.3% for the three month period ended December 31, 2003. Total assets were $294.6 million at quarter end 2004 as compared to $290.7 million at year-end 2003. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.3 million on March 31, 2004, compared to $7.8 million at year-end 2003.
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, gross loans increased by $12.6 million or 6.7%, to $201.1 million from $188.5 million at year-end 2003. The components of this increase were real estate mortgage loans secured by 1-4 family residential collateral with 4.8% growth to $109.2 million, residential construction loans grew 9.0% to $27.2 million, and commercial loans with 19.6% growth to $29.7 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company charged off loans totaling $78 thousand. For the comparable period in 2003, total loans charged off were $43 thousand. The Company maintained $140 thousand of other real estate owned (OREO) as of March 31, 2004. As of year-end 2003, this balance was $77 thousand. The Company actively markets all OREO properties, and expects no loss on any of these properties. All properties maintained as other real estate owned are carried at the lesser of book or market value.
The provision for loan losses amounted to $75 thousand through the first three months, and the allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2004, was $1.9 million. The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of average total loans through the first three months of 2004 was .95%. The allowance for loan losses is analyzed for adequacy on a quarterly basis to determine the necessary provision. A loan by loan review is conducted of all loan classes and inherent losses on these individual loans are determined. This valuation is then compared to historical data in an effort to determine the prevailing trends. A third component of the process is the analysis of a tabular presentation of loss allocation percentages by loan type. Through this process the Company assesses the appropriate provision for the coming quarter. As of March 31, 2004, management deemed the loan loss reserve reasonable for the loss risk identified in the loan portfolio.

As of March 31, 2004, $1.4 million of loans were on non-accrual status. There were $269 thousand of loans on non-accrual status as of year-end 2003. This increase is primarily composed of one credit for which the expected loss has been accounted for within the allowance for loan losses. Nevertheless, a change in market conditions, interest rates, or the local economy could increase the realized loss on this credit. Management has reviewed the credit and the underlying collateral and expects no additional loss above that which is recognized in the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans totaled $1,071,571 on March 31, 2004 and $157,810 on March 31, 2003. Impaired loans are those non-accrual loans that are considered commercial or non-farm/non-residential in nature. Loans still accruing interest but delinquent for 90 days or more were $271 thousand on March 31, 2004, as compared to $889 thousand on March 31, 2003.
As of March 31, 2004, securities available for sale at market value totaled $54.7 million as compared to December 31, 2003 market value of $66.1 million. This represents a net decrease of $11.3 million or 17.1% for the three months. Securities held to maturity were $420 thousand as of March 31, 2004, compared to $417 thousand at December 31, 2003. At quarter end the investment portfolio represented 18.7% of total assets and 19.7% of earning assets. The greater portion of the Companys investment portfolio is classified as available-for-sale and marked to market on a monthly basis. The resulting accumulated adjustment to book value as of March 31, 2004 was a net unrealized gain of $2.1 million. The corresponding accumulated adjustment to shareholders equity was $1.4 million. These gains or losses are booked monthly as an adjustment to book value based upon market conditions, and are not realized as an adjustment to earnings until the securities are actually sold. Management does not anticipate the realization of net losses on investments during 2004.
As of March 31, 2004, total deposits were $261.6 million compared to $257.1 at year-end 2003. This represents growth in balances of $4.5 million or 1.7% during the three months. Components of this growth include non-interest-bearing demand deposits at 0.9% growth to $34.6 million, and savings and interest bearing demand deposit accounts at 4.0% growth to $131.2 million. Time deposits decreased by 1.0% to $95.7 million.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income for the first three months of 2004 totaled $691 thousand compared to $610 thousand for the same period in 2003, an increase of 13.4%. Non-interest income includes income from fiduciary activities, service charges on deposit accounts, other miscellaneous fees, gains on the sale of securities, and other income. Of these categories, the major components are fiduciary activities which contributed $165 thousand compared to $138 thousand at quarter end 2003, service charges on deposit accounts contributed $138 thousand for quarters ended 2004 and 2003, other miscellaneous fees contributed $183 thousand compared to $148 thousand at quarter end 2003. Secondary market real estate loan brokerage income contributed $22 thousand compared to $92 thousand at quarter end 2003, gains on the sale of investments were $155 thousand at quarter end 2004 compared to $21 thousand at quarter end 2003. Gains on the sale of other real estate totaled $7 thousand at quarter end 2004 compared to $35 thousand at quarter end 2003, and other income totaled $23 thousand at quarter end 2004 compared to $37 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
The Companys fiduciary income is derived from the operations of its subsidiary, Bay Trust Company. The Trust Company offers a broad range of trust and related fiduciary services. Among these are testamentary trusts, revocable and irrevocable personal, managed agency, and custodial trusts. Fiduciary income is largely affected by changes in the performance of the stock market, which directly impacts the market value of the accounts upon which fees are earned. This being the case, performance of fiduciary activities can be expected to approximate the performance of the national stock markets. In recent quarters the fee income of the Trust Company has improved as the stock markets have gained value, thereby increasing the market value of the assets under management. In addition, the Trust Company has also been successful in increasing new accounts. Increased marketing and sales efforts are expected to continue this trend.
Management continues to explore methods of increasing non-interest income. Continued expansion of fiduciary services, diversification of business lines, and expansion of fee-based services provided to bank customers are among the areas under regular review.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expenses totaled $2.4 million during the first three months of 2004 as compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2003, an increase of 16.8%. The largest components of non-interest expense are salaries and benefits, and occupancy expense. Through the three months ended March 31, 2004, salary and benefit expense was $1.4 million, and occupancy expense was $359 thousand. For the same period in 2003, these totals were $1.1 million, and $261 thousand, respectively.
Other expenses include bank franchise taxes which totaled $56 thousand at quarter end 2004 and $52 thousand for 2003, expenses related to the Visa® program which were $80 thousand at quarter end 2004 and $71 thousand at quarter end 2003, expenses related to the operation of the Company Customer Care Center (telephony) which were $41 thousand for the current period and $46 thousand for quarter end 2003, and other operating expenses which totaled $445 thousand for quarter end 2004 and $567 thousand for quarter ended 2003.
Management is conducting extensive internal reviews of operational efficiencies in an effort to maximize the human resource component of the Company. In an effort to meet the needs of an expanding market, the Company hired several employees throughout 2003 in an effort to fill certain middle management and sales staffing needs. The full impact of the salary component is realized in the first quarter of 2004 while only partially realized in the first quarter of 2003. In addition, the Company has experienced dramatic increases in the cost of medical coverage for its employees. The Company pays 100% of the employees basic medical coverage and this expense has increased approximately 30% during 2003 and 2004. Management intends to enter into the study of alternative providers as a means of reducing the cost of medical coverage while not diminishing the depth or quality of service to its employees.
In addition, the Company recognized an additional $140 thousand in salary expense during the current quarter as a one time adjustment to accrued salary expense. The Company expenses salary expense with twenty six pay periods. During a typical year there will be two months with three pay periods. Accrual accounting is employed whereby the month with three pay periods is accrued for and thereby levels the salary expense for the months that would have an additional pay period. During 2004 the Company will account for three months with an additional pay period. The additional expense for this pay period was fully recognized in the first quarter of 2004. This anomaly increased salary expense by $140 thousand in comparison to 2003.
In addition, regulatory requirements created by the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 have increased the legal and accounting expenses of the Company significantly. Management expects this trend to continue as the reporting and risk monitoring process develops. Legal and accounting expenses are expected to increase by 10% annually for the foreseeable future.
