HAMPTON ROADS BANKSHARES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

September 30, 2004

 

NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the Company), was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on February 28, 2001, primarily to serve as a holding company for Bank of Hampton Roads (the Bank). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Bank of Hampton Roads was organized in March of 1987 and commenced banking operation in December of 1987. The Bank engages in a general community and commercial banking business, emphasizing the needs of individuals as well as small and medium sized business in its primary service area.

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

The Company adopted the disclosure only provision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and SFAS no. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure. These statements allow an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for these plans using the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by the Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company elected to follow APB No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options.

 

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as required by SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148 has been determined as if the Company had been accounting for its employee stock options under the fair-value method. The fair value of all currently outstanding options was estimated at the date of the grant using a minimum value option-pricing model. Pro forma results and a summary of the assumptions used for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and the same time periods in 2003 are as follows:

Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a representative single measure of the fair value at which transactions may occur.

NOTE F – ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES

 

In accordance with Emerging Task Force Issue 03-16, “Accounting for Investments in Limited Liability Companies”, which was effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004, the Company accounts for certain investments in limited liability companies using the equity method. The adoption of this Issue was treated as a change of accounting principle in the financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2004. The cumulative effect of this change was an increase in net income of approximately $46,000 net of income taxes.

 

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion provides information about the important factors affecting the consolidated results of operations, financial condition, capital resources and liquidity of the Company. This report identifies trends and material changes that occurred during the reporting periods and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2003 Annual Report.

 

Financial Condition

 

Total average assets, a benchmark used by banks when comparing size, is the strongest indicator of our continuous growth. Average assets increased by $24.2 million, or 8.1%, to a new high of $321.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2003. Total assets at September 30, 2004 were $324.5 million, an increase of $8.0 million, or 2.5%, over December 31, 2003 total assets of $316.5 million.

 

As a community bank, the Company has a primary objective of meeting the business and consumer credit needs within its market where standards of profitability, client relationships and credit quality can be met. The loan portfolio grew $45.7 million, or 21.7%, to $256.5 million as of September 30, 2004 compared to December 31,2003. This growth can be attributed to the strong loan demand experienced in the construction and commercial real estate categories of the loan portfolio. The Company continuously reviews its loan portfolio and maintains an allowance for loan losses sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. In addition to the review of credit quality through

Table of Contents

ongoing credit review processes, the Company conducts an independent and comprehensive allowance analysis for its loan portfolio at least quarterly. The allowance for loan losses was $3.7 million, or 1.4% of outstanding loans, as of September 30, 2004 compared with $2.9 million, or 1.4% of outstanding loans, as of December 31, 2003. Management increased the allowance for loan losses during the second quarter of 2004 by setting up a specific reserve to ensure adequate coverage of certain nonaccural loans. The amount of nonaccrual loans increased from December 31, 2003 balance of $107,601 to the September 30, 2004 balance of $2,662,093.

 

Deposits are the most significant source of the Company’s funds for use in lending and general business purposes. The Company’s balance sheet growth is largely determined by the availability of deposits in its market, the cost of attracting the deposits, and the prospects of profitability utilizing the available deposits by increasing the loan or investment portfolios. Total deposits at September 30, 2004 decreased $1.8 million, or 0.7%, to $255.7 million compared to December 31, 2003. Significant changes in the deposit categories include a $7.6 million, or 9.7% increase in noninterest bearing demand accounts, a $4.3 million or 6.7% decrease in time deposits less than $100,000 and a $3.7 million, or 11.8%, decrease in time deposits $100,000 or more from December 31, 2003 to September 30, 2004. These trends in deposits can be attributed to the commercial accounts which are generating larger balances in the demand deposit accounts and the lower interest rates being paid on time deposits, which has caused a run off in the time deposit accounts. The Company is currently promoting deposit products through increased rates in order to reverse this trend.

 

The Company’s investment portfolio consists of available-for-sale U.S. Agency, U.S. Treasury and mortgage-backed securities. At September 30, 2004, the market value of investment securities held by the Company was $41.0 million, down $29.5 million or 41.8%, from $70.5 million at December 31, 2003. The decline was the result of the sale of investment securities with a par value of $44.7 million netted against the purchases of investment securities with a par value of $17.7 million and the change in unrealized gains and unamortized premiums on the remaining investment securities. A gain of $507,500 was recognized in the first nine months of 2004 on the sale of investment securities, of which $12,507 was recorded in the third quarter of 2004. The decision to sell investment securities was made to provide liquidity to fund above normal loan growth. The Company experienced large fluctuations in both its loan and deposit portfolios during the first nine months of 2004, which precipitated the sales and purchases of investment securities. At September 30, 2004, the Company held unpledged investment securities with an estimated market value of $16.6 million.

 

Results of Operations

 

During the first nine months of 2004, the Company had net income of $3.0 million, resulting in a return of 1.26% on average total assets and 9.69% on average shareholders’ equity. During the comparable period in 2003, the Company earned $3.0 million resulting in a return of 1.35% on average total assets and 10.32% on average equity. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was a record $1.2 million compared to $989 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2003. In the third quarter of 2004, the return on average assets was 1.44% and the return on average shareholders’ equity was 11.23%. Diluted earnings per share decreased 2.6% to $0.37 per share for the first nine months of 2004 compared to $0.38 per share for the first nine months of 2003. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, diluted earnings per share increased 16.7% to $0.14 per share compared to $0.12 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2003. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in net interest income.

 

Net interest income, the principal source of the Company’s earnings, represents the difference between interest and fees earned from lending and investment activities and the interest paid to fund these activities. Variations in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and their relative sensitivity to interest rate movements impact net interest income. Net interest income for the first nine months of 2004 was $10.3 million, a $529 thousand increase over the first nine months of 2003. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was $3.7 million, a $414 thousand increase over the same time period in 2003.

 

The Company’s interest earning assets consist of loans, investment securities, and overnight funds sold. Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $76 thousand to $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same time period during 2003. Interest income on loans, including loan fees, increased $370 thousand, or 9.6%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same time period during 2003. Interest income on investment securities decreased $42 thousand, or 3.0%, to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same time period during 2003. The $5.1 million increase in the average investment securities balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and a 35 basis point decrease for the same period in the average interest yield produced this slight decrease. Interest income on investment securities decreased $81 thousand, or 16.5%, to $409 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same time period during 2003. Interest income on overnight funds sold decreased $21 thousand, or 27.5%, to $56

thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same time period during 2003. This decrease was due primarily to the $2.5 million decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 in the average overnight funds sold balance. Interest income on overnight funds sold decreased $26 thousand, or 74.6% to $9 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same time period during 2003.

 

The Company’s interest bearing liabilities consist of deposit accounts and other borrowings. Interest expense from deposits decreased $475 thousand, or 15.8%, to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same time period during 2003. This decline resulted from the 42 basis point decrease experienced in the average interest rate, paritally offset by the $1.6 million increase in the average interest bearing deposit balance. Interest expense from deposits decreased $134 thousand, or 14.4%, to $799 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same time period during 2003. Interest expense from other borrowings increased $8 thousand, or 2.2%, to $387 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same time period during 2003. The $2.0 million increase in the average other borrowings balance, partially offset by the 33 basis point decrease in the average interest rate, produced this result. Interest expense from other borrowings decreased $16 thousand, or 10.4%, to $140 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same time period during 2003.

 

The net interest margin, which is calculated by expressing net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets, is an indicator of the Company’s efficiency in generating income from earning assets. The net interest margin is affected by the structure of the balance sheet as well as by competition and the economy. The Company’s net interest margin decreased from 4.71% during the first nine months of 2003 to 4.62% for the same period in 2004. This decrease can be attributed to changes in the balance sheet mix, changes in the yields obtained from interest earning assets and paid on interest bearing liabilities, the falling interest rate environment until the upturn during the third quarter of 2004 and changes in volume. In addition, competition for deposits and loans had an impact on the Company’s net interest margin. In the third quarter, the net interest margin improved to 4.87% in 2004 from 4.54% in the third quarter of 2003. This increase was attributed primarily to the significant increase in loans and to a lesser extent, to increases in interest rate.

 

The Company’s provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2004 was $797 thousand compared to $265 thousand for the same period in 2003. This increase was due to an additional $500 thousand provision recorded in the second quarter of 2004 related to a specific credit. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2004 of $114 thousand compared to $96 thousand in the same time period during 2003.

 

The Company reported an increase in total noninterest income of $442 thousand, or 17.5%, for the first nine months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Total noninterest income decreased $66 thousand, or 7.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Service charges on deposit accounts, the Company’s primary source of noninterest income, decreased $25 thousand, or 1.6%, for the first nine months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $5 thousand, or 1.0%, for the three month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Another significant component of noninterest income is ATM surcharge fees, which increased slightly to $165 thousand for the first nine months of 2004 compared to $155 thousand for the first nine months of 2003. In order to improve liquidity and allow for the growth in the loan portfolio, the Company sold investment securities and recognized a gain of $508 thousand during the first nine months of 2004. There were no sales of investment securities during the first nine months of 2003. Other service charges and fees decreased $51 thousand, or 6.1%, for the first nine months of 2004 compared to the first nine months of 2003. Other service charges and fees decreased $82 thousand, 25.4%, for the three month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The decreases in other service charges and fees were due in part to the change in accounting principle related to limited liability companies.

 

Noninterest expense represents the overhead expenses of the Company. One of the core operating principles of management continues to be the careful monitoring and control of these expenses. Total noninterest expense increased $457 thousand, or 6.1%, for the first nine months of 2004 compared to the first nine months of 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to a 9.3% increase in salaries and employee benefits resulting from the addition of several new positions late in 2003 and during the first quarter of 2004, normal annual salary adjustments, and higher costs of benefits. Data processing expense, another category of noninterest expense, posted an increase of 6.7% during this time frame. Occupancy expense increased slightly to $699 thousand at September 30, 2004 compared to $658 thousand at September 30, 2003. Other noninterest expenses posted a slight increase of 0.3% for the first nine months of 2004 compared to the same time period during 2003. Total noninterest expense increased $119 thousand, or 4.7%, for the three month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

 

Total shareholder’s equity increased approximately $1 million, or 2.4%, to $42.3 million at September 30, 2004 compared to $41.3 million at December 31, 2003. As of September 30, 2004, the Company and the Bank were considered ‘well-capitalized”, the highest category of capitalization defined by the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). The Company continually monitors current and projected capital adequacy positions of both the Company and the Bank. Maintaining adequate capital levels is integral to providing stability to the Company, resources to achieve the Company’s growth objectives, and returns to the stockholders in the form of dividends. On September 15, 2004, the Company paid a $0.18 per share dividend, totaling $1,435,583. On March 15, 2004, the Company paid a $0.15 per share dividend, totaling $1,187,065. On September 15, 2003, the Company paid a $0.15 per share dividend, totaling $1,171,890. On March 15, 2003, the Company paid a $0.27 per share dividend, totaling $2,096,476.

 

A key goal of asset/liability management is to maintain an adequate degree of liquidity without impairing long-term earnings. Liquidity represents the Company’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. Short-term liquidity is provided primarily by access to the federal funds market through established correspondent banking relationships. Funds also can be obtained through the Company’s borrowing privileges at the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Additional liquidity is available through loan repayments and maturities of the Company’s investment portfolio. The Company maintains a liquid portfolio of both assets and liabilites and attempts to mitigate the risk inherent in changing rates in this manner. Management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and to meet is customers’ credit needs.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s most critical accounting policy relates to the Company’s allowance for loan losses, which reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s borrowers to make required loan payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s borrowers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, the Company’s estimates would be updated, and additional provisions for loan losses may be required.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

Certain statements in this report may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements that include projections, predictions, expectations, or beliefs about events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical facts. Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to certain forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its existing 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. Actual future results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the effects and changes in: general economic conditions, the interest rate environment, legislative and regulatory requirements, competitive pressures, new products and delivery systems, and inflation.

 

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES AND MARKET RISK

 

The Company’s primary market risk is exposure to interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will impact both the level of interest income and interest expense and the market value of the Company’s interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.

 

The primary goal of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy is to maximize net interest income while minimizing fluctuations caused by changes in the interest rate environment. The Company’s ability to manage its interest rate risk depends generally on the Company’s ability to match the maturities and re-pricing characteristics of its assets and liabilities while taking into account the separate goals of maintaining asset quality and liquidity and achieving the desired level of net interest income.

 

The Company’s management, guided by the Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), determines the overall magnitude of interest sensitivity risk and then formulates policies and governing asset generation and pricing, funding sources and pricing, and off-balance sheet commitments. These decisions are based on management’s expectations regarding future interest rate movements, the state of the national and regional economy, and other financial and business risk factors.

Table of Contents

The primary method that the Company uses to quantify and manage interest rate risk is simulation analysis, which is used to model net interest income from assets and liabilities over a specified time period under various interest rate scenarios and balance sheet structures. This analysis measures the sensitivity of net interest income over a relatively short time horizon. Key assumptions in the simulation analysis relate to the behavior of interest rates and spreads, the changes in product balances and the behavior of loan and deposit customers in different rate environments.

 

The interest sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest earning assets anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to mature or re-price within a specific time period and the amount of interest bearing liabilities anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to mature or re-price within that time period. At September 30, 2004, the Company’s one year ‘positive gap” (interest earning assets maturing or re-pricing within a defined period exceed interest bearing liabilities maturing or re-pricing with the same period) was approximately $24.3 million, or 7.5% of total assets. Thus, during periods of rising interest rates, this implies that the Company’s net interest income would be positively affected because the yield of the Company’s interest earning assets is likely to rise more quickly than the cost of its interest bearing liabilities. At December 31, 2003, the Company’s one year “positive gap” was approximately $1.1 million, or 0.3% of total assets.

 

The following tables set forth the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities outstanding at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 that are subject to re-pricing or that mature in each of the future time periods shown. Loans and securities with call or balloon provisions are included in the period in which they balloon or may first be called. Except as stated above, the amount of assets and liabilities shown that re-price or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the contractual terms of the asset or liability.
