Centra Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note A — Organization
Centra Bank, Inc. (Centra Bank or the Company) is a full service commercial bank that was chartered on September 27, 1999, under the laws of the State of West Virginia and commenced operations on February 14, 2000. Centra Financial Holdings, Inc. (Centra) was formed on October 25, 1999, for the purpose of becoming a one-bank holding company to own all of the outstanding stock of Centra Bank.
Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 2009, but prior to November 9, 2009, the date these financial statements were issued, for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
Note B — Basis of Presentation
Centra’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Centra’s accounting and reporting policies, which are in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Such policies require management to make estimates and develop assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates. Also, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U. S. generally accepted accounting principles for annual year-end financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in Centra’s December 31, 2008, Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Note C — Net Income Per Common Share
Centra determines basic earnings per share by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by the number of shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of stock options. At September 30, 2009 and 2008, stock options outstanding were 1,352,611 and 1,471,272 shares at an average price of $10.77 and $9.18, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the dilutive effect of stock options was 357,192 and 533,315 shares, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the dilutive effect of stock options was 371,881 and 548,882 shares, respectively.
Note D — Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements (ASC Topic 820), was issued by the FASB on January 1, 2008, and 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. Effective January 1, 2009, Centra implemented, “Fair Value Measurements,” for our nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are re-measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. In October, 2008, the FASB issued “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for that Asset Is Not Active,” which clarifies the treatment for assets in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key consideration in determining the fair value of a financial asset.
Fair Value Measurements 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 Centra’s market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Fair Value Measurements based on these two types of inputs are as follows:
    Level 1 — Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Table of Contents

    Level 2 — Valuation is based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in nonactive markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
 
    Level 3 — Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.
When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, Centra looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities whenever possible and classifies such items in Level 1. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, Centra looks to market observable data for similar assets and liabilities and classifies such items as Level 2. Nevertheless, when certain assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets and Centra must use alternative valuation techniques using unobservable inputs to determine a fair value and classifies such items as Level 3. The level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant in the fair value measurement.
The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009:

Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may apply such techniques as matrix pricing to determine the value of identical or similar securities (Level 2). Any securities available for sale not valued based upon the methods above are considered Level 3.
Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
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 which is not materially different than cost due

to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, Centra records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within secondary market income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, no fair value adjustment was recognized in earnings related to loans held for sale.
Allowance for Credit Losses: 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. For such loans, impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows to be received from the borrower, or alternatively, the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Impairment is typically measured based on the fair value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company (Level 2). 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. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Any fair value adjustments from the underlying collateral on impaired loans are recorded in the period incurred as provision for credit losses expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, no such fair value adjustment was recognized in earnings that related to the allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans.
Other real estate owned: Other real estate owned (OREO) is measured at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Income and expenses from operations and changes in valuation allowance are included in other expense from OREO. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, no fair value adjustment was recognized in earnings related to OREO.
Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible: Goodwill is carried at cost basis and is reviewed annually or more frequently if necessary for impairment. Core Deposit Intangible is recorded at cost and amortized monthly and reviewed annually for impairment or earlier if indicators of impairment exist. If impairment exists, the measurement of loss is based on the fair value of the reporting unit (goodwill) and the core deposit intangible. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, no fair value adjustment was recognized in earnings related to goodwill and core deposit intangible.
Financial Instruments: The following methods and assumptions were used by Centra in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate their fair values.
Investment Securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using quoted market prices of comparable securities.
Loans: The fair value of performing variable rate loans that reprice frequently and performing demand loans, with no significant change in credit risk, is based on carrying value. The fair value of certain mortgage loans is based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair value of other performing loans (e.g., commercial real estate, commercial, and consumer loans) is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
Loans Held for Sale: The estimated fair value of loans held for sale is based upon the market price of similar loans which is not materially different than cost due to the short time duration between origination and sale.

Table of Contents

Deposits: The carrying amounts of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits approximate their fair values. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Short-Term Borrowings: The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.
Long-Term Debt: The carrying amounts of long-term debt approximate their fair value because the debt is a variable rate instrument repricing quarterly.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments: The fair value of loan commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counter parties’ credit standing. The estimated fair value of these commitments approximates their carrying value.

Management determines the appropriate classification of investment securities at the time of purchase. Available-for-sale securities are those securities that would be available to be sold in the future in response to Centra’s liquidity needs, changes in market interest rates, and asset-liability management strategies, among others. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in a separate component of other comprehensive income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific-identification method.

At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, investment securities having a carrying value of $108,130,000 and $112,070,000, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and repurchase agreements in accordance with federal and state requirements.
Provided below is a summary of securities available-for-sale which were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Centra held seven and thirty-nine securities, respectively, that were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Centra has the intent to hold these securities and it is more likely than not that Centra will not be required to sell the securities before the anticipated recovery in fair value or by the time these securities mature. Further, Centra believes the deterioration in fair value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and not credit quality of the issuer.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent of Centra to sell the security or whether it’s more likely than not that Centra would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery in fair value. During the first quarter of

2009, Centra determined that one equity security that had been in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months was other-than-temporarily impaired. Centra recognized the loss and adjusted the investment’s cost basis by $387 thousand during the first quarter 2009, which is included in Security (losses) gains on the Consolidated Statement of Income. No further other-than-temporary impairment was recognized during the second or third quarters 2009.
The estimated maturities presented in the tables below may differ from the contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without call or prepayment penalties.

Note F — Preferred Stock
On January 16, 2009, Centra entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) under the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (“TARP CPP”), pursuant to which Centra issued and sold (i) 15,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 751 shares of Centra’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock — Series B, par value $1.00 per share and liquidation value $1,000 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000 in cash (the transaction being referred to as the “Investment”). In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the warrants were immediately exercised by the Treasury into the Series B Preferred Stock. Centra calculated the fair value of the Series A and B Preferred Stock and determined that a discount of approximately $750,000 existed at the time of purchase. The net proceeds were allocated between the Series A and B Preferred Stock based on their relative fair values.
Centra received approval from its primary bank regulators and the Treasury to the return of the Investment, and accordingly, on March 31, 2009, Centra returned to the Treasury a total of $15,095,833, which includes the original investment amount of $15,000,000 for the Series A Preferred Stock plus accrued but unpaid dividends of $95,833. Centra received in return, and cancelled, the share certificate for the Series A Preferred Stock. The difference between the amount paid to the Treasury and the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock was deducted from earnings available to common shareholders.
On April 15, 2009, Centra completed the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock with the U.S. Department of Treasury. As instructed by the Treasury, Centra returned a total of $761,250, which included accrued but unpaid dividends of $11,250 and an additional premium of $750,000. Centra received in return the cancelled Series B Preferred Stock. The differences between the amount paid to the Treasury and the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock were deducted from earnings available to common shareholders.
Note G — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On June 29, 2009, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement establishing the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. This pronouncement was effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, for most entities. On the effective date, all non-SEC accounting and reporting standards will be superseded. Centra adopted this new accounting pronouncement for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009, as required, and adoption did not have a material impact on Centra’ financial statements taken as a whole.
On June 12, 2009, the FASB issued two related accounting pronouncements changing the accounting principles and disclosures requirements related to securitizations and special-purpose entities. Specifically, these pronouncements eliminate the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity”, change the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. These pronouncements also expand existing disclosure requirements to include more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. These pronouncements will be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions regarding transfers of financial assets shall be applied to transfers that occur on or after the effective date. Centra will adopt these new pronouncements on January 1, 2010, as required. Management has not yet determined the impact adoption may have on Centra’ consolidated financial statements.
On May 28, 2009, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement establishing general standards of accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events, which are events occurring after the balance sheet date but before the date the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. In particular, the pronouncement requires entities to recognize in the financial statements the effect of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including the estimates inherent in the financial preparation

process. Entities may not recognize the impact of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date but arose after that date. This pronouncement also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This pronouncement was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Centra adopted the provisions of this pronouncement for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, as required, and adoption did not have a material impact on Centra’ financial statements taken as a whole.
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued three related accounting pronouncements intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities. In particular, these pronouncements: (1) provide guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the existing accounting principles when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have decreased significantly; (2) enhance consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures and (3) modify existing general standards of accounting for and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses for impaired debt securities.
The fair value measurement guidance of these pronouncements reaffirms the need for entities to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. The changes to fair value disclosures relate to financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet at fair value. Prior to these pronouncements, fair value disclosures for these instruments were required for annual statements only. These disclosures now are required to be included in interim financial statements. The general standards of accounting for OTTI losses were changed to require the recognition of an OTTI loss in earnings only when an entity (1) intends to sell the debt security; (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis or (3) does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. In situations when an entity intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the security, the entire OTTI loss must be recognized in earnings. In all other situations, only the portion of the OTTI losses representing the credit loss must be recognized in earnings, with the remaining portion being recognized in other comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes.
All three pronouncements were effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Entities were permitted to early adopt the provisions of these pronouncements for interim and annual periods ending after March 15, 2009, but had to adopt all three concurrently. Centra adopted these provisions of these pronouncements for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2009, as required. The adoption of these pronouncements did not have any material impact on Centra’s financial statements taken as a whole.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 indicates that the disclosure of forward-looking information is desirable for investors and encourages such disclosure by providing a safe harbor for forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind cautionary statements in this document and other SEC filings including the “Risk Factors” section of item 1A of our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the corporation notes that a variety of factors, (e.g., changes in the national and local economies, changes in the interest rate environment, competition, changes in governmental regulation, etc.) could cause Centra’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in those forward-looking statements.
The following data should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the management’s discussion and analysis that follows.

Introduction
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements of Centra is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of the financial results. Centra’s wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Centra Bank, is the primary financial entity in this discussion. Unless otherwise noted, this discussion will be in reference to the bank.
Centra Bank was chartered by the State of West Virginia and is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the West Virginia Division of Banking. The bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System. The bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh.
The bank provides a full array of financial products and services to its customers, including traditional banking products such as deposit accounts, lending products, debit cards, automated teller machines, and safe deposit rental facilities.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the prior year-end audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s filing on Form 10-K and the ratios, statistics, and discussions contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Centra’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and follow general practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires

Table of Contents

management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Application of certain accounting policies inherently requires a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and as such, the probability of actual results being materially different from reported estimates is increased. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management primarily through the use of internal forecasting techniques.
The most significant accounting policies followed by the bank are presented in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in Centra’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in management’s discussion and analysis of operations, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statements amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses to be the accounting area that requires the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.
Centra maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable losses based on a quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio and estimation of the losses that have been incurred within the loan portfolio. This formal analysis determines an appropriate level and allocation of the allowance for loan losses among loan types and resulting provision for loan losses by considering factors affecting losses, including specific losses, levels and trends in impaired and nonperforming loans, historical loan loss experience, current national and local economic conditions, volume, growth and composition of the portfolio, regulatory guidance, and other relevant factors. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses requires significant judgment and the use of material estimates by management, which is inherently subjective. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset in the consolidated balance sheet. Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements describes the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses and a discussion of the factors driving changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses is included in the Allowance for Credit Losses section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Centra considers accounting for income taxes to also be a critical accounting policy. Deferred income taxes are recorded based on temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements at the anticipated statutory tax rate that will be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Further discussion of income taxes, including a reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate, is included in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2008 Form 10-K.
In Centra’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, investment securities and income recognition are also mentioned as critical accounting policies.
Any material effect on the financial statements related to these critical accounting areas is also discussed in this financial review.
Results of Operations
Overview of the Statement of Income
For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, Centra earned $2.2 million compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2008. These earnings equated to a return on average assets of 0.69% and 0.68%, respectively, and a return on average equity of 8.38% and 8.81%, respectively. Core growth improved both net interest income and other income while increases in expenses were controlled resulting in an overall net income increase of 6.16%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, Centra earned $7.1 million compared to $5.8 million for the first nine months of 2008. These earnings equated to a return on average assets of 0.77% and 0.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Return on average equity was 9.14% and 8.54% for September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Net income increased by $1.3 million or 22.44% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.
Interest Income and Expense
Net interest income is the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets include loans and investment securities while interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposits and short and long-term borrowed funds. Net interest income is the primary source of revenue for the bank. Net interest income is impacted by changes in market interest rates, as well as changes in the mix and volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Net interest income increased to $11.0 million in the third quarter of 2009 from $10.0 million in the third quarter of 2008. Net interest income increased to $32.1 million in the first nine months of 2009 from $29.4 million in the first nine months of 2008. These similar increases were due to growth in interest earning assets coupled with an increase in net interest margin in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 from 2008.
Centra’s average interest-earning assets and liabilities increased during the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 compared to the same time periods in 2008. The most significant areas of change were net loans, which increased to an average balance of $1.0 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 from $977.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and interest-bearing liabilities which grew to an average of $991.2 million from $960.4 for the respective periods. Net loans increased to an average balance of $1.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $929.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and interest-bearing liabilities which grew to an average of $980.8 million from $922.4 million for the respective periods. These trends reflect the continued growth of Centra in all of our operating markets.
Net interest margin is presented on a tax-equivalent basis to provide a comparison among all types of interest earning assets. The tax-equivalent basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. Although this is a non-GAAP measure, Centra’s management believes this measure is more widely used within the financial services industry and provides better comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. Centra uses this measure to monitor net interest income performance and to manage its balance sheet composition.
Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets. This ratio serves as a performance measurement of the net interest revenue stream generated by the bank’s balance sheet. The net interest margin for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were 3.83% and 3.65%, respectively. Centra has experienced an increase in the margin despite significant interest rate drops over the past twelve months. Centra experienced a 65 basis points decline in the yield on interest earning assets which was substantially offset by a 95 basis points decrease in the cost of on interest bearing liabilities.
The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were 3.83% and 3.74%, respectively. Similar to the quarter, Centra has experienced an increase in the margin for the first nine months of the year. Year to date, Centra experienced a 80 basis point decline in the yield on interest earning assets which was substantially offset by a 102 basis points decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities.

Management continuously monitors the effects of net interest margin on the performance of the bank. Loan growth, fluctuations in prime lending rates and mix of the balance sheet will continue to impact net interest margin in future periods. As competition for deposits and quality loans continues, management anticipates continued pressure on the net interest margin given the current interest rate environment.

Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses
Management continually monitors the loan portfolio through its regional committees and the Senior Loan Committee to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. This formal analysis determines the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses and allocation of the allowance among loan types and specific credits. The portion of the allowance allocated among the various loan types represents management’s estimate of probable losses based upon historical loss factors. In addition, Centra considers factors such as changes in lending policies, changes in the trend and volume of past due and adversely classified or graded loans, changes in local and national economic conditions, and effects of changes in loan concentrations. Specific loss estimates are derived for individual credits, where applicable, and are based upon specific qualitative criteria, including the size of the loan and loan grades below a predetermined level.
Centra maintains an allowance for loan losses and an allowance for lending-related commitments. For financial reporting purposes, Centra reports its provision for credit losses as the sum of the provision for loan losses and the provision for losses on lending-related commitments. The allowance for loan losses was $16.5 million, $16.4 million, and $15.2 million as of September 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008, respectively, which represents an allowance to total loans of 1.60%, 1.60% and 1.50% for the respective period ends. The allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2009 increased slightly by $0.1 million since December 31, 2008, which is due to marginal loan growth of $5.7 million and management’s assessment of the adequacy of the reserve. The increase in the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2009 compared to September 30, 2008 was primarily due to the loan growth of $18.9 million, significant deterioration of general economic conditions and the increase in delinquent and non-performing assets from the previous year.
Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, other impaired loans that are not 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, and other real estate owned. As of September 30, 2009, total non-performing assets reached $15.1 million compared to $7.5 million as of September 30, 2008. The increase is a result of further deteriorating economic conditions in our operation markets as well as a rise in impaired loans and other real estate owned.
Total non-performing loans were $13.1 million as of September 30, 2009 compared to $7.2 million as of September 30, 2008. Total non-accrual loans have increased by $1.3 million since September 30, 2008 to $8.5 million as of September 30, 2009. Non-accrual loans continue to be concentrated in commercial and real estate loans. Non-accrual commercial loans have increased by $1.1 million to $5.7 million as of September 30, 2009. Non-accrual real estate loans were $2.3 million as of September 30, 2009 compared to $2.2 million as of September 30, 2008. As a result of these increases, Centra’s allowance as a percent of non-performing loans has dropped to 125% at September 30, 2009 from 210% at September 30, 2008.
As of September 30, 2009, total impaired loans were $10.4 million, which include commercial non-accrual loans and one loan for $4.6 million that was deemed impaired due to management’s expectation that the borrower would not be able to satisfy the contractual obligation due to a decline in the collateral value. Of the total impaired loans, $7.5 million required specific reserves due to shortfalls in collateral value. Centra reserved $2.6 million for impaired loans as of September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, other real estate owned was $2.0 million compared to $303 thousand as of September 30, 2008.
Accruing loans past due 30 days or more have increased by $2.5 million since September 30, 2008 to $4.8 million as of September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, only 0.47% of Centra’s total loan portfolio was past due 30 days or more. Commercial loans past due 30 days or more make up 47.76% or $2.3 million of the total loan delinquencies. Consumer loans past due 30 days or more make up 33.40% or $1.6 million of the total loan delinquencies. Real estate loans past due 30 days or more make up 18.84% or $905 thousand of the total loan delinquencies.
In determining the allowance for loan losses, Centra segregates the loan portfolio by loan type: commercial, consumer and real estate loans. Of the $16.5 million allowance for loan losses recorded on September 30, 2009, $10.5 million is allocated to commercial loans, $2.2 million is allocated to consumer loans, and $3.8 million is allocated to real estate loans. A specific reserve of $2.6 million is allocated to impaired loans, which is included in the commercial loan reserve allocation. Of the $2.6 specific reserve, $1.9 million is allocated to the other impaired loan mentioned above. Of the $16.4 million recorded on December 31, 2008, $9.3 million is allocated to commercial loans, $2.8 million is allocated to consumer loans, and $4.3 million is allocated to real estate loans. No specific reserve was allocated to impaired loans as of December 31, 2008. Of the $15.2 million recorded on September 30, 2008, $8.7 million is allocated to commercial loans, $2.6 million is allocated to consumer loans, and $3.9 million is allocated to real estate loans. No specific reserve was allocated to impaired loans as of September 30, 2008.
The increase in the allowance for commercial loan losses at September 30, 2009 from the previous periods is most notably due to the inherent risk within the portfolio. As noted above, Centra identified five loans totaling $7.5 million that were considered impaired and resulted in an additional allowance of $2.6 million. Additionally, the historical loss factor has increased from

prior periods as Centra has experienced a higher level of losses during the later part of 2008 and during the first nine months of 2009 compared to prior years. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, total charge-offs reached $2.6 million compared to only $0.4 million from the previous year. Centra’s charge off levels continue to hold below peer levels. Centra’s net charge-offs as a percent of average loans were 0.30% during through the first nine months of 2009 while according to the FDIC’s Second Quarter 2009 Quarterly Banking Profile, banks $1-10 billion in asset size experienced net charge-offs as a percent of average loans of 2.17%.
The allowance for consumer loan losses has decreased at September 30, 2009 from the prior periods proportionately to the decline in the outstanding loan balances, which were $77.7 million as of September 30, 2009, $87.4 million as of December 31, 2008 and $89.5 million as of September 30, 2008. The allowance for real estate loan losses has also decreased proportionately at September 30, 2009 from the prior periods due to the decline in the outstanding loan balances, which were $191.6 million as of September 30, 2009 and $194.8 million as of December 31, 2008 and $193.2 million as of September 30, 2008.
Management records the provision for loan losses as a result of its analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the overall management of inherent credit risk. The provision for loan losses for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $1.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $2.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Noninterest Income
Fees related to real estate loans sold in the secondary market, service charges on deposit accounts, and electronic banking revenue generate the core of the bank’s non-interest income. Noninterest income totaled $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2009 and 2008. Noninterest income totaled $5.8 million in the first nine months of 2009 and 2008. Overall noninterest income remained consistent despite other-than-temporary losses of $387 thousand recognized during the first quarter 2009 on an equity security held within the investment portfolio. Excluding this charge, noninterest income would have reached $6.2 million, which is an increase of $445 thousand or 7.69% for the first nine months of 2009 compared to the first nine months of 2008. This increase is attributable to a rise in secondary market income and service charges on deposit accounts.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased to $953 thousand in the third quarter of 2009 from $877 thousand in the third quarter of 2008. Similarly, service charges on deposit accounts increased to $2.7 million in the first nine months of 2009 from $2.1 million in the first nine months of 2008. This growth was the direct result of the corresponding increase in deposit accounts and fee changes.
Other service charges and fees increased to $644 thousand in the third quarter of 2009 from $614 thousand in the third quarter of 2008. Other service charges and fees were $1.9 million in the first nine months of 2009 and compared to $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2008.
Centra originates long-term, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans and sells them in the secondary market, servicing released. Centra’s mortgage banking income includes the recognition of fees received from the borrower and the investor upon the sale of the loan. Centra recognized $281 thousand from such fees in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $276 thousand in the third quarter of 2008. Centra recognized $1.1 million from such fees in the first nine months of 2009 compared to $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2008.
Noninterest Expense
For the third quarter of 2009, noninterest expense totaled $8.4 million compared to $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2008. Centra’s efficiency ratio was 63.39% for the third quarter of 2009 compared to 67.77% for the third quarter of 2008. This ratio measures the efficiency of noninterest expenses less amortization of intangibles incurred in relationship to net interest income plus noninterest income exclusive of security gains and losses.
For the first nine months of 2009, noninterest expense totaled $24.6 million compared to $24.5 in the first nine months of 2008. Centra’s efficiency ratio was 62.18% for the first nine months of 2009 compared to 69.29% for the first nine months of 2008. The 5 basis point FDIC special assessment fee incurred during the second quarter incurred during the first quarter significantly affected the ratio in 2009 as it would have been 60.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 absent this item.

Salaries and benefits totaled $4.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. Salaries and benefits totaled $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Centra had 232 full-time equivalent personnel as of September 30, 2009, compared to 248 full-time equivalent personnel as of September 30, 2008. The reduction in staffing levels represents Centra’s efforts to focus on operational efficiency and optimal staffing levels while continuing to provide an exceptional level of customer service. Management will continue to strive to find new ways of increasing efficiencies and leveraging its resources, while effectively optimizing customer service.
For the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, occupancy expense totaled $745 thousand and $631 thousand, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, occupancy expense totaled $2.0 million and $1.9 million respectively. During the third quarter, Centra opened its fifteenth full service branch. This branch was opened in the Washington County Maryland market.
Equipment expense totaled $578 thousand in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $560 thousand for the third quarter of 2008. Included in equipment expense is depreciation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment of $374 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, and $356 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Equipment expense totaled $1.7 million in the first nine months of 2009 compared to $1.6 million for the first nine months of 2008. Included in equipment expense is depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Equipment depreciation reflects Centra’s commitment to technology including investments that improve service delivery channels to our customers and operational efficiency.
Advertising costs totaled $431 thousand in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $344 thousand in the third quarter of 2008. Advertising costs totaled $1.1 million in the first nine months of 2009 compared to $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2008. The bank believes the current marketing approach will continue to result in market awareness of the Centra name and customer service philosophy.
Professional fees include legal, accounting and consulting fees paid related to bank operations. Professional fees totaled $188 thousand in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $381 thousand in the third quarter of 2008. Professional fees totaled $669 thousand in the first nine months of 2009 compared to $902 thousand in the first nine months of 2008. Professional fees decreased from prior year due to consulting services utilized in 2008, but not incurred in 2009.
Data processing costs totaled $617 thousand in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $587 thousand in the third quarter of 2008. Data processing costs totaled $1.9 million in the first nine months of 2009 compared to $1.6 million in the first nine months of 2008. Data processing costs have increased in correlation to the number of deposit and loan accounts and the continued branch expansion.
Other outside services totaled $246 thousand in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $251 thousand in the third quarter of 2008. Other outside services totaled $761 thousand in the first nine months of 2009 compared to $667 thousand in the first nine months of 2008. This increase is due to increases in correspondent bank fees, ATM network fees, and courier services.
Regulatory assessment expense totaled $389 thousand in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $188 thousand in the third quarter 2008. Regulatory assessment expense totaled $1.5 million in the first nine months of 2009 compared to $536 thousand in the first nine months 2008. The FDIC applied a special assessment to all member banks as of June 30, 2009 in order to recapitalize the regulatory insurance funds. This fee was in addition to the normal regulatory assessment required by the FDIC. Centra accrued $567 thousand during the second quarter 2009 related to the special assessment, and the fee was paid during the third quarter 2009. The FDIC has indicated the possibility of imposing additional special assessments on all insured institutions similar to the one levied in the third quarter of 2009. The FDIC has also proposed to have all insured institution prepay assessments through 2012. As proposed, prepaid assessments would be collected on December 31, 2009. Such special assessments, if imposed, could materially increase the total FDIC insurance expense recognized for 2009 and impair cash flow at the end of the year.
Other operating expense totaled $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2008. Other operating expense totaled $3.4 million in the first nine months of 2009 compared to $3.8 million in the first nine months of 2008. The decrease was primarily the result of a decline in other loan related expenses and other operating expenses from the prior year.

Income Tax Expense
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2009 and 2008 was 36.2% and 31.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2009 was 34.4% compared to 33.5% for the first nine months of 2008.
Centra incurred income tax expense of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $945 thousand for the third quarter of 2008. Centra incurred income tax of $3.7 million in the first nine months of 2009 compared to $2.9 million for the first nine months of 2008. Centra’s income tax expense has increased over the prior year due to an increase in net income before tax.
Return on Average Assets and Average Equity
Returns on average assets (ROA) and average equity (ROE) were 0.69% and 8.38% for the third quarter of 2009 compared to 0.68% and 8.81% for the third quarter of 2008. ROA and ROE were 0.77% and 9.14% for the first nine months of 2009 compared to 0.67% and 8.54% for the first nine months of 2008. These measures have increased compared to the prior period reflecting the increased profitability of Centra.
The bank is considered well capitalized under regulatory and industry standards of risk-based capital.
Financial Condition
Overview of the Statement of Condition
Total assets at September 30, 2009, were $1.3 billion or an increase of $60.5 million since December 31, 2008. Each major category of assets has increased from the prior period. Asset growth has occurred primarily due to increases in federal funds sold, securities, and loans and was funded largely by increases in non-interest bearing and interest bearing deposits. Centra’s liquidity position has also improved as a result of deposit growth.
Deposits totaled $1.1 billion at September 30, 2009, or an increase of $91.6 million since December 31, 2008. Short-term borrowings totaled $34.2 million at September 30, 2009, and have decreased $41.1 million since December 31, 2008 due to deposit growth.
Stockholders’ equity was $103.2 million at September 30, 2009, or an increase of approximately $8.0 million from December 31, 2008, due primarily to Centra’s net income recognized for the first nine months of 2009 as well as the result of equity received from the exercise of certain stock options and stock purchased through the dividend reinvestment plan.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $58.9 million as of September 30, 2009, compared to $20.3 million as of December 31, 2008, or an increase of $38.6 million. Federal funds sold were $47.2 million as of September 30, 2009. Centra was in a borrowing position at the end of 2008, but the need for borrowing was eliminated with deposit growth.
Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate on a daily basis due to transactions in process and other liquidity and performance demands. Management believes the liquidity needs of Centra are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional and non-traditional funding sources, and the portions of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year. These sources of funds should enable Centra to meet cash obligations as they come due.
Investment Securities
Available-for-sale investment securities totaled $129.3 million as of September 30, 2009, and $119.6 million as of December 31, 2008. This is an increase of $9.7 million from year-end and reflects Centra’s ongoing efforts to invest conservatively to position the portfolio to help fund future loan demand. . Additionally, the proceeds from the maturities and calls of numerous securities were reinvested into the government-sponsored agency and state and municipal bond portfolios.
Government-sponsored agency securities comprise the majority of the portfolio. Centra also holds state and municipal securities, corporate issued debt securities, and corporate stock. Centra does not hold any single issue or pooled trust preferred securities, mortgage backed securities, perpetual preferred equity securities or any securities collateralized by sub-prime loans.

Table of Contents

Most of the bank’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale. Management believes the available-for-sale classification provides flexibility for the bank in terms of growing the bank as well as interest rate risk management. At September 30, 2009, the amortized cost of the bank’s investment securities totaled $126.3 million, resulting in unrealized appreciation in the investment portfolio of $2.9 million and a corresponding increase in the bank’s equity of $1.8 million, net of deferred income taxes.
As of September 30, 2009, Centra evaluated all investment securities with material unrealized losses for impairment. During the first quarter 2009, Centra recognized other-than-temporary impairment losses of $387 thousand on an equity security, which had been in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months. No additional impairment loss was recorded during the second or third quarters 2009.
Other investments totaled $2.9 million as of September 30, 2009 compared to $2.0 million as of December 31, 2008. Other investments include Federal Home Loan Bank stock.
Management monitors the earnings performance and liquidity of the investment portfolio on a regular basis through Asset/Liability Committee meetings. The group also monitors net interest income, sets pricing guidelines, and manages interest rate risk for the bank. Through active balance sheet management and analysis of the investment securities portfolio, the bank maintains sufficient liquidity to satisfy depositor requirements and the various credit needs of its customers. Management believes the risk characteristics inherent in the investment portfolio are acceptable based on these parameters.
Loans
The bank’s lending is primarily focused in the north central and eastern panhandle regions of West Virginia, Southwestern Pennsylvania and Hagerstown, Maryland. Areas of focus consist primarily of commercial lending, retail lending, which includes single-family residential mortgages, and consumer lending.
The following table details total loans outstanding as of:

Total loans
  $ 1,030,869     $ 1,025,212  
     
Commercial real estate loans constitute the largest component of the lending portfolio. This is the result of a concerted effort to attract quality commercial loans while maintaining appropriate underwriting standards. As a result the current economic environment where consumers are saving more and spending less, management expects commercial loan demand to slow down during the remainder of 2009.
Loan Concentration
With the significant commercial loan balances, the bank has concentrations of its loan portfolio in the building, developing, and general contracting industry, coal mining, clothing retail, leasing of real estate, and the hotel/motel areas. These concentrations, while within the same industry segment, are not concentrated with a single borrower or market. This dissemination of borrowers somewhat mitigates the concentrations previously noted. Management continually monitors these concentrations.
Funding Sources
Centra considers a number of alternatives, including but not limited to deposits, brokered deposits, short-term borrowings, and long-term borrowings when evaluating funding sources. Traditional deposits continue to be the most significant source of funds for the bank, reaching $1.1 billion at September 30, 2009.
Non-interest bearing deposits remain a core funding source for Centra. At September 30, 2009, non-interest bearing deposits totaled $151.3 million compared to $132.2 million at December 31, 2008. Management intends to continue to focus on

maintaining its base of low-cost funding sources, through product offerings that benefit customers who increase their relationship with Centra by using multiple products and services.
Interest bearing deposits totaled $952.7 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $880.2 million at December 31, 2008. Average interest bearing liabilities totaled $991.2 million during the third quarter of 2009 compared to $960.4 million for the third quarter of 2008. Average interest bearing liabilities totaled $980.8 million during the first nine months of 2009 compared to $922.4 million for the first nine months of 2008. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits totaled $140.1 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $130.6 million for the third quarter of 2008. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits totaled $135.6 million for the first nine months of 2009 compared to $123.2 million for the first nine months of 2008. Management will continue to emphasize deposit growth in 2009 by offering outstanding customer service and competitively priced products. Management will also concentrate on balancing deposit growth with adequate net interest margin to meet Centra’s strategic profitability goals.
Along with traditional deposits, Centra has access to both short-term and long-term borrowings to fund its operations and investments. Centra’s short-term borrowings consist of corporate deposits held in overnight repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased. At September 30, 2009, short-term borrowings totaled $34.2 million compared to $75.3 million at December 31, 2008.
Centra formed two statutory business trusts for the purpose of issuing trust preferred capital securities with the proceeds invested in junior subordinated debt securities of Centra. In September 2006 and September 2004, Centra completed the private placement of two $10,000,000 Floating Rate, Trust Preferred Securities through its Centra Financial Statutory Trust II and Centra Financial Statutory Trust I subsidiaries. The 2006 and 2004 securities are at an interest cost of 2.29% and 1.65%, respectively, over the three-month LIBOR rate, reset quarterly. Interest payments are due quarterly.
Capital/Stockholders’ Equity
In July 2009, the Board of Directors of Centra Financial Holdings, Inc., parent company of Centra Bank, Inc., declared the payment of the company’s seventh cash dividend on Centra common stock. Payable on October 1, 2009, $0.05 per share has been distributed to shareholders of record on September 18, 2009.
Centra’s retained earnings/deficit is the result of stock dividends issued in prior years. Retained earnings/deficit is reduced by the effect of the total dividend as common stock and additional paid-in capital are increased proportionately. Thus, total equity does not change when stock dividends are issued.
At September 30, 2009, accumulated other comprehensive income totaled $1.8 million compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2008. Because all the investment securities in Centra’s portfolio are classified as available-for-sale, both the investment and equity sections of Centra’s balance sheet are more sensitive to the changing market values of investments.
The primary source of funds for dividends to be paid by Centra Financial Holdings, Inc. is dividends received from its subsidiary bank, Centra Bank. Dividends paid by the subsidiary bank are subject to restrictions by banking regulations. The most restrictive provision requires regulatory approval if dividends declared in any year exceed that year’s retained net profits, as defined, plus the retained net profits, as defined, of the two preceding years. At September 30, 2009, Centra Bank has $23.6 million available for dividends.
Centra has also complied with the standards of capital adequacy mandated by the banking industry. Bank regulators have established “risk-based” capital requirements designed to measure capital adequacy. Risk-based capital ratios reflect the relative risks of various assets banks hold in their portfolios. A weight category of 0% (lowest risk assets), 20%, 50%, or 100% (highest risk assets) is assigned to each asset on the balance sheet. Detailed information concerning Centra’s risk-based capital ratios can be found in Note 12 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Centra’s 2008 Form 10-K. At September 30, 2009, Centra and its banking subsidiary’s risk-based capital ratios exceeded the minimum standards for a well capitalized financial institution.
Centra and its banking subsidiary are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Centra must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Centra and its banking subsidiary’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Commitments
In the normal course of business, Centra is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk necessary to meet the financing needs of customers and to manage its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement Centra has in these financial instruments.
Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of Centra’s customers. Standby letters of credit commit Centra to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur. Centra had standby letters of credit of $33.1 million and $31.1 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Centra’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter-party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Centra uses the same underwriting standards in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. The total amount of loan commitments outstanding at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, was $134.4 million and $145.5 million, respectively. The total amount of unfunded commitments under lines of credit outstanding at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, was $47.6 million and $46.8 million, respectively. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, Centra has recorded $1.5 million for probable losses related to these commitments and has classified that accrual in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Centra originates long-term, fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgage loans and sells them on the secondary market, servicing released. At September 30, 2009 and 2008, Centra had $9.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of commitments to borrowers to originate loans to be sold on the secondary market. The fair value of the derivatives related to these commitments is not material to the financial statements.
Market Risk Management
The most significant market risk resulting from Centra Bank’s normal course of business, extending loans and accepting deposits, is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the potential for economic loss due to future interest rate changes that can impact both the earnings stream as well as market values of financial assets and liabilities. Centra’s management has charged the Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) with the overall management of Centra and its subsidiary bank’s balance sheet related to the management of interest rate risk. The ALCO strives to keep Centra Bank focused on the future, anticipating and exploring alternatives, rather than simply reacting to change after the fact.
To this end, the ALCO has established an interest risk management policy that sets the minimum requirements and guidelines for monitoring and controlling the level and amount of interest rate risk. The objective of the interest rate risk policy is to encourage management to adhere to sound fundamentals of banking while allowing sufficient flexibility to exercise the creativity and innovations necessary to meet the challenges of changing markets. The ultimate goal of these policies is to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity, and safety.
The ALCO relies on different methods of assessing interest rate risk including simulating net interest income, monitoring the sensitivity of the net present market value of equity or economic value of equity, and monitoring the difference or gap between maturing or rate-sensitive assets and liabilities over various time periods. The ALCO places emphasis on simulation modeling as the most beneficial measurement of interest rate risk due to its dynamic measure. By employing a simulation process that measures the impact of potential changes in interest rates and balance sheet structures and by establishing limits on changes in net income and net market value, the ALCO is better able to evaluate the possible risks associated with alternative strategies.
The simulation process starts with a base case simulation that represents projections of current balance sheet growth trends. Base case simulation results are prepared under a flat interest rate forecast and at least two alternative interest rate forecasts, one rising and one declining, assuming parallel yield curve shifts. Comparisons showing the earnings variance from the flat rate forecast illustrate the risks associated with the current balance sheet strategy. When necessary, additional balance sheet strategies are developed and simulations prepared. These additional simulations are run with the same interest rate forecasts used with the base case simulation and/or using non-parallel yield curve shifts. The additional strategies are used to measure yield curve risk, prepayment risk, basis risk, and index lag risk inherent in the balance sheet. Comparisons showing the earnings and equity value variance from the base case provide the ALCO with information concerning the risks associated with implementing the alternative strategies. The results from model simulations are reviewed for indications of whether current

interest rate risk strategies are accomplishing their goal and, if not, suggest alternative strategies that could. The policy calls for periodic review by the ALCO of assumptions used in the modeling.
ALCO believes that it is beneficial to monitor interest rate risk for both the short and long-term. Therefore, to effectively evaluate results from model simulations, limits on changes in net interest income and the value of the balance sheet will be established. ALCO has determined that the earnings at risk of the bank shall not change more than 7.5% from base case for each 1% shift in interest rates. Centra is in compliance with this policy as of September 30, 2009, in all rate change scenarios shown below.
The following table is provided to show the earnings at risk and value at risk positions of Centra as of September 30, 2009.

Effects of Inflation on Financial Statements
Substantially all of the bank’s assets relate to banking and are monetary in nature. Therefore they are not impacted by inflation to the same degree as companies in capital-intensive industries in a replacement cost environment. During a period of rising prices, a net monetary asset position results in loss in purchasing power and conversely a net monetary liability position results in an increase in purchasing power. In the banking industry, typically monetary assets exceed monetary liabilities. The current monetary policy targeting low levels of inflation has resulted in relatively stable price levels. Therefore, inflation has had little impact on Centra’s net assets.
Future Outlook
The bank’s results of operations through the first nine months and third quarter of 2009 shows that Centra has been able to respond to unprecedented economic times. Centra’s net income for the quarter continues to be strong despite the current economic environment.
On September 24, 2009, area business leaders and officials gathered to help us celebrate our newly constructed North Pointe Drive office in Hagerstown, Maryland, the third office in that area and our first newly constructed facility. Just three weeks after this grand opening, we announced plans for a new headquarters building for Hagerstown to be constructed at the corner of Dual Highway and Mount Aetna Road, arguably one of the most dynamic locations in the Washington County Market. These openings demonstrate our continued ability to move forward, drawing on the deep experience of our board and leadership team that is seasoned and ready to elevate market share in the greater Hagerstown area.
The continued emphasis in future periods will be to focus on asset quality and profitable growth while balancing the effects of competition on pricing of our interest bearing assets and liabilities.
