MIDDLEBURG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDAIRIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1.

General

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2009, the results of operations for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “2008 Form 10-K”) of Middleburg Financial Corporation (the “Company”). The results of operations for the three month and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Subsequent events have been considered through November 9, 2009, the same date on which these financial statements were issued.

 

Note 2.

Stock–Based Compensation Plan

 

As of September 30, 2009, the Company sponsored one stock-based compensation plan (the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan), which provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, performance share awards, incentive awards and stock units. The 2006 Equity Compensation Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting held on April 26, 2006 and has succeeded the Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. Under the plan, the Company may grant stock-based compensation to its directors, officers, employees and other persons the Company determines have contributed to the profits or growth of the Company. The Company may grant awards with respect to up to 255,000 shares of common stock under the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan.

 

The Company granted 72,263 stock options on March 16, 2009. The stock options have an exercise price of $14.00 per share, a three year vesting period and a ten year life. As a result of this grant, the Company recognized $17,000 in compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The Company utilized a Black-Scholes option model to fair value the stock options. The key assumptions used to determine the relative fair value of the stock options included volatility of 26.6%, an expected life of six years and a risk-free rate of 2.23%. In addition, the Company assumed a dividend yield of 2.5%. For stock-based compensation granted in prior years, the Company recognized $68,000 in compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Certain of the other debt securities are related to corporate securities. For these investments within the scope of EITF 99-20 (ASC 320 Investments – Debt and Equity Securities) at acquisition, the Company evaluates current available information in estimating the future cash flows of these securities and determines whether there have been favorable or adverse changes in estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously projected. The Company considers the structure and term of the pool and the financial condition of the underlying issuers. Specifically, the evaluation incorporates factors such as interest rates and appropriate risk premiums, the timing and amount of interest and principal payments and the allocation of payments to the various note classes. Current estimates of cash flows are based on the most recent trustee reports, announcements of deferrals or defaults, expected future default rates and other relevant market information. The Company analyzed the cash flow characteristics of these securities.

 

 

 

12

The Company has identified three other than temporarily impaired securities within its portfolio and has elected to recognize losses through the income statement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized credit related impairment losses of $712,000 on trust preferred securities included within a collateralized debt obligation held by the Company.

At September 30, 2009, the Company concluded that no other adverse change in cash flows occurred during the quarter and did not consider any other securities other-than-temporarily impaired. Based on this analysis and because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity; and, for debt securities related to corporate securities, determined that there was no other adverse change in the cash flows as viewed by a market participant, the Company does not consider the investments in these assets to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2009. However, there is a risk that this review could result in recognition of other-than-temporary impairment charges in the future.

 

Of the temporarily impaired securities, 42 are investment grade, five are speculative grade and two are non-rated. Obligations of states and political subdivisions make up the largest amount of temporarily impaired securities. The speculative grade securities are asset backed securities that are collateralized by trust preferred issuances of financial institutions. One of the non-rated securities is issued by a local municipality within the Company’s market. The other non-rated security is issued by a corporate note and has a par value of $38,750. This security has a temporary impairment of $5,348. Market prices change daily and are affected by conditions beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company has the ability to hold these securities until the temporary loss is recovered, decisions by management may necessitate the sale before the loss is fully recovered. Investment decisions reflect the strategic asset/liability objectives of the Company. The investment portfolio is analyzed frequently by the Company and managed to provide an overall positive impact to the Company’s income statement and balance sheet.

Middleburg Bank and the Company have assets in custody with Middleburg Trust Company and accordingly pay Middleburg Trust Company a monthly fee. Middleburg Bank also pays interest to Middleburg Trust Company, Middleburg Investment Advisors and Southern Trust Mortgage on deposit accounts that each company has at Middleburg Bank. Southern Trust Mortgage has an outstanding line of credit and a participation agreement for which it pays interest to Middleburg Bank. Middleburg Bank provides office space and data processing services to Southern Trust Mortgage for which it receives rental and fee income. Middleburg Investment Advisors pays the Company a management fee each month for accounting and other services provided.

Note 9.

Capital Purchase Program

 

On January 30, 2009, as part of the Capital Purchase Program established by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement—Standard Terms (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Treasury, pursuant to which the Company sold 22,000 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $2.50 per share, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) and a Warrant to purchase 208,202 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $2.50 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an initial exercise price of $15.85 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments, for an aggregate purchase price of $22,000,000 in cash.

 

The Preferred Stock will qualify as Tier 1 capital and will pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and thereafter at a rate of 9% per annum. Pursuant to the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009, the Company may, subject to consultation with its federal banking agency, repay the funds it received under the Capital Purchase Program at any time. The Preferred Stock is generally non-voting, other than on certain matters that could adversely affect the Preferred Stock. If the dividends on the Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly dividend periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the Company's authorized number of directors will be automatically increased by two and the holders of the Preferred Stock will have the right to elect those directors at the Company's next annual meeting or at a special meeting called for that purpose; these two directors will be elected annually and will serve until all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past dividend periods have been declared and paid in full. Prior to January 30, 2012, unless the Company has redeemed the Preferred Stock or the Treasury has transferred the Preferred Stock to a third

 

 

 

19

party, the consent of the Treasury will be required for the Company to increase its common stock dividend or repurchase its common stock or other equity or capital securities, other than in certain circumstances specified in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The Warrant is immediately exercisable. The Warrant provides for the adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions, such as upon stock splits or distributions of securities or other assets to holders of Common Stock, and upon certain issuances of Common Stock at or below a specified price relative to the then-current market price of Common Stock. The Warrant expires ten years from the issuance date. If, on or prior to December 31, 2009, the Company receives aggregate gross cash proceeds of not less than the purchase price of the Preferred Stock from one or more “Qualified Equity Offerings” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) announced after October 13, 2008, the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Treasury’s exercise of the Warrant will be reduced by one-half of the original number of shares, taking into account all adjustments, underlying the Warrant. As a result of the Company’s completion of the public stock offering in August 2009, the number of shares underlying in the warrant was reduced by one-half to 104,101. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant.

 

Note 10.

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820), on January 1, 2008 to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

 

ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 based on these two types of inputs are as follows:

 

Level I:            Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

 

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

 

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

 

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated financial statements:

 

 

 

20

Securities available for sale

 

Fair values for securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.

 

Securities identified in Note 3 as Restricted Securities, including stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) and the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB), are excluded from the table below since there is no ability to sell these securities except when the FHLB or FRB require redemption based on either our borrowings at the FHLB, or in the case of the FRB changes in certain portions of our capital.

 

The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009.

Certain financial assets and certain financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or impairment of individual assets.

 

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the consolidated financial statements:

 

Loans held for sale

 

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level II). As such, the Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within income from mortgage banking on the consolidated statements of income.

 

Impaired Loans

 

Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the 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 using observable market data (Level II). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level III. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level III). Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the consolidated statements of income.

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

 

 

 

23

fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Generally accepted accounting principles exclude certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

 

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

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company's financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company's overall interest rate risk.

 

Note 11.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)) (ASC 805 Business Combinations). The Standard significantly changed the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles for how an acquirer recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information

 

 

 

24

to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for acquisition dates on or after the beginning of an entity’s first year that begins after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 141(R) to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, at this time.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (ASC 805 Business Combinations). FSP FAS 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies SFAS 141(R) to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The FSP is effective for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. The FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Earlier adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (ASC 825 Financial Instruments and ASC 270 Interim Reporting). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. In addition, the FSP amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The FSP is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (ASC 320 Investments – Debt and Equity Securities). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities. The FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 111 (SAB 111). SAB 111 amends and replaces SAB Topic 5.M. in the SAB Series entitled “Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” SAB 111 maintains the SEC Staff’s previous views related to equity securities and amends Topic 5.M. to exclude debt securities

 

 

 

25

from its scope. The Company does not expect the implementation of SAB 111 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (ASC 855 Subsequent Events). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 165 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (ASC 860 Transfers and Servicing). SFAS 166 provides guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a report entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 166 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (ASC 810 Consolidation). SFAS 167 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. SFAS 167 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after November 15, 2009. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 167 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (ASC 105 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification which will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SFAS 168 is effective immediately. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 168 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 09-1, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing” (ASC 470 Debt). EITF Issue No. 09-1 clarifies how an entity should account for an own-share lending arrangement that is entered into in contemplation of a convertible debt offering. EITF Issue No. 09-1 is effective for arrangements entered into on or after June 15, 2009. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF Issue No. 09-1 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 112 (SAB 112). SAB 112 revises or rescinds portions of the interpretative guidance included in the codification of SABs in order to make the interpretive guidance consistent with current U.S. GAAP. The Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 112 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05 (ASU 2009-05), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.” ASU 2009-05 amends Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall,” and provides clarification for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period including interim period beginning after issuance. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-05 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-12 (ASU 2009-12), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).” ASU 2009-12 provides guidance on estimating the fair value of alternative investments.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition at September 30, 2009 and results of operations of the Company for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report and in the 2008 Form 10-K. It should also be read in conjunction with the “Caution About Forward Looking Statements” section at the end of this discussion.

 

Overview

 

The Company is headquartered in Middleburg, Virginia and conducts its primary operations through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Middleburg Bank and Middleburg Investment Group, Inc and a majority owned subsidiary, Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC. Middleburg Bank is a community bank serving the Virginia counties of Loudoun, Fairfax and Fauquier with seven financial service centers and two limited service facilities. Middleburg Investment Group is a non-bank holding company with two wholly owned subsidiaries, Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors, Inc. Middleburg Trust Company is a trust company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, and maintains offices in Williamsburg, Virginia and in several of Middleburg Bank’s facilities. Middleburg Investment Advisors is a registered investment advisor headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia serving clients in 24 states. Southern Trust Mortgage is a regional mortgage company headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia and maintains offices in Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

 

The Company operates under a business model that makes all of its financial and wealth management services available to its clients at all of its financial service centers. Financial service centers are larger than most traditional retail banking branches in order to allow commercial, mortgage, retail and wealth management personnel and services to be readily available to serve clients. By working together in the financial service center and the market, the team at each financial service center becomes more effective in expanding relationships with current clients and new clients. The Company’s goal is to assist in the creation, preservation and ultimate transfer of the wealth of its clients.

 

The Company generates a significant amount of its income from the net interest income earned by Middleburg Bank. Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income depends on the amount of interest-earning assets outstanding during the period and the interest rates earned thereon. Middleburg Bank’s cost of money is a function of the average amount of deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid thereon. The quality of the assets further influences the amount of interest income lost on non-accrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses. Middleburg Bank also generates income from fees on deposits and loans.

 

Middleburg Investment Group’s subsidiaries, Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors, generate fee income by providing investment management and trust services to its clients. Investment management and trust fees are generally based upon the value of assets under administration and, therefore, can be significantly affected by fluctuation in the values of securities caused by changes in the capital markets.

 

 

 

28

Southern Trust Mortgage generates fees from the origination and sale of mortgages loans. Southern Trust Mortgage also maintains a real estate construction portfolio and receives interest and fee income from these loans, which, net of interest expense, is included in net interest income.

 

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased to $2.4 from $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Annualized return on total average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 0.3%, compared to 0.4% for the same period in 2008. In calculating the annualized returns, gains on securities available for sale have not been annualized, but have been treated as a one-time transaction. Annualized return on total average equity of Middleburg Financial Corporation, which includes preferred stock and excludes the non-controlling interest in Southern Trust Mortgage, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 2.9%, compared to 4.5% for the same period in 2008. The Company recognized losses in its loan portfolio resulting in net charge-offs against the reserves for loan losses of $4.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. As a result of the evaluation of the adequacy of the reserves for loan loss, subsequent to the recognition of net charge-offs, the Company increased its reserves for loan losses through recognition of bad debt expense, by $3.6 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

 

Total interest income increased $1.9 million or 4.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. Interest and fees on loans increased 4.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $37.8 million, compared to $36.1 million for the same period in 2008. Total interest expense was $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. While interest expense on deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased 6.7% when compared to the same period in 2008, the average balance of interest bearing deposits increased 30.4% during the nine month ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Total other income increased $2.1 million to $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. Total other expense was $36.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $31.0 million for the same period in 2008.

 

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased to $610,000 from $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Net charge-offs against the reserves for loan losses were $1.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The Company increased its reserves for loan losses, through recognition of bad debt expense, by $964,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Total interest income decreased $46,000 or 0.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. Interest and fees on loans were relatively unchanged at $12.0 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. Total interest expense decreased $836,000 to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Total other income increased $80,000 to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. Total other expense was $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $10.0 million for the same period in 2008.

 

The Company is not aware of any current recommendations by any regulatory authorities that, if they were implemented, would have a material effect on the registrant’s liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

General

 

The financial condition and results of operations presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and this section are, to a large degree, dependent upon the accounting policies of the Company. The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.

 

Presented below is discussion of those accounting policies that management believes are the most important (“Critical Accounting Policies”) to the portrayal and understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Critical Accounting Policies require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The Company monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Company maintains policies and procedures that address the systems of controls over the following areas of maintenance of the allowance: the systematic methodology used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance to provide assurance the methodology is maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; the accounting policies for loan charge-offs and recoveries; the assessment and measurement of impairment in the loan portfolio; and the loan grading system.

 

The Company evaluates various loans individually for impairment. Loans evaluated individually for impairment include non-performing loans, such as loans on non-accrual, loans past due by 90 days or more, restructured loans and other loans selected by management. The evaluations are based upon discounted expected cash flows or collateral valuations. If the evaluation shows that a loan is individually impaired, then a specific reserve is established for the amount of impairment.

 

The Company makes estimates of losses for groups of loans. Loans are grouped by similar characteristics, including the type of loan, the assigned loan grade and the general collateral type. A loss rate reflecting the expected loss inherent in a group of loans is derived based upon estimates of default rates for a given loan grade, the predominant collateral type for the group and the terms of the loan. The resulting estimate of losses for groups of loans are adjusted for relevant environmental factors and other conditions of the portfolio of loans, including: borrower and industry concentrations; levels and trends in delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries; changes in underwriting standards and risk selection; level of experience, ability and depth of lending management; and national and local economic conditions.

 

The amount of estimated impairment for individually evaluated loans and groups of loans is added together for a total estimate of loan losses. This estimate of losses is compared to the allowance for loan losses of the Company as of the evaluation date and, if the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be made. If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the estimate is evaluated to determine whether the allowance falls outside a range of estimates. If the estimate of losses is below the range of reasonable estimates, the allowance would be reduced by way of a credit to the provision for loan losses. The Company recognizes the inherent imprecision in estimates of losses due to various uncertainties and variability related to the factors used, and therefore a reasonable range around the estimate of losses is derived and used to ascertain whether the allowance is too high. If different assumptions or conditions

 

 

 

30

were to prevail and it is determined that the allowance is not adequate to absorb the new estimate of probable losses, an additional provision for loan losses would be made, which amount may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Intangibles and Goodwill

 

The Company had approximately $6.6 million in intangible assets and goodwill at September 30, 2009, a decrease of $170,000 since December 31, 2008. On April 1, 2002, the Company acquired Middleburg Investment Advisors, a registered investment advisor, for $6.0 million. Approximately $5.9 million of the purchase price was allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. In connection with this investment, a purchase price valuation was completed to determine the appropriate allocation to identified intangibles. The valuation concluded that approximately 42% of the purchase price was related to the acquisition of customer relationships with an amortizable life of 15 years. Another 19% of the purchase price was allocated to a non-compete agreement with an amortizable life of seven years. The remainder of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill. Approximately $1.0 million of the $6.6 million in intangible assets and goodwill at September 30, 2009 was attributable to the Company’s investment in Middleburg Trust Company. With the consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage, the Company recognized $1.9 million in goodwill as part of its equity investment.

 

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

 

Goodwill is tested annually using a two-step process. The first step is to identify a potential impairment. The second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Processes and procedures have been identified for the two-step process.

 

When the Company completes its ongoing review of the recoverability of intangible assets and goodwill, factors that are considered important to determining whether impairment might exist include loss of customers acquired or significant withdrawals of the assets currently under management and/or early retirement or termination of key members of management. Any changes in the key management estimates or judgments could result in an impairment charge, and such a charge could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The most recent review was performed in February 2009 and no impairment was indicated.

Securities decreased to $168.0 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $181.3 million at December 31, 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company increased its cash liquidity position by investing the proceeds of sales, maturities and principal payments of securities into federal funds sold, as a precaution against the economic uncertainties and the resulting volatility that occurred in the securities markets. Accordingly, the yields on these investments were lower than the Company could attain in other less liquid investments. The average balance of federal funds sold was $27.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Premises and Equipment

 

Premises and equipment decreased $139,000 from $23.0 million at December 31, 2008 to $22.8 million at September 30, 2009. The decrease is the net of the change of accumulated depreciation and capitalized expenditures related to future financial service centers.

32

Other Real Estate Owned

 

Other real estate owned increased $940,000 to $8.5 million at September 30, 2009.

Total shareholders’ equity was $125.2 million at September 30, 2009. This amount represents an increase of 61.4% from the December 31, 2008 amount of $77.6 million and is primarily due to the issuance of $22 million in January 2009 pursuant to the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, the private placement of $5.0 million in common stock under a stock purchase agreement and a public offering of 1,700,000 shares of common stock that resulted in proceeds of $17.1 million to the Company. As a result of these offerings, the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrant held by the U.S. Treasury was reduced by one –half.

Results of Operations

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income is the Company’s primary source of earnings and represents the difference between interest and fees earned on earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and other interest bearing liabilities.

Total interest income increased 4.6% and total interest expense decreased 13.2% when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

The increase in the size of the portfolio helped to offset the impact of the decrease in yield.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.13% compared to 4.08% for the same period in 2008. The Company’s net interest margin is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, but it is a common measure used by the financial service industry to determine how profitably earning assets are funded. The net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets. Because a portion of interest income earned by the Company is non taxable, the tax equivalent net interest income is considered in the calculation of this ratio. Tax equivalent net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit realized from interest income that is nontaxable to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. The tax rate utilized in calculating the tax benefit for each of 2009 and 2008 is 34.0%. The reconciliation of tax equivalent net interest income, which is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, to net interest income is reflected in the table below.

Other expense decreased 4.1% or $209,000 to $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease is the result of general cost cutting efforts by the Company.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2009 was $9.2 million, or 1.4% of total loans, compared to $9.8 million, or 1.4% of total loans at September 30, 2008. The provision for loan losses was $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the provision for loan losses was $964,000, compared to $318,000 for the same period in 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net loan charge-offs totaled $4.5 million, compared to net loan charge-offs of $3.2 million for the same period in 2008. There were $1.2 million in loans past due 90 days or more at September 30, 2009, compared to $4.3 million at September 30, 2008. Non-performing loans were $9.0 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $6.7 million at September 30, 2008. Given the increase in problem loans, continued uncertainty in the economy, and the current nationwide credit crisis, the Company deemed it prudent to strengthen its allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2009. Loans classified as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention are adequately reserved for and are not expected to have a material impact beyond what has been reserved.

 

Capital Resources

 

Shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $125.2 million and $77.6 million, respectively. Total common shares outstanding at September 30, 2009 were 6,901,843.

 

At September 30, 2009, the Company’s tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 17.0% and 18.2%, respectively, compared to 10.3% and 11.6% at December 31, 2008. The Company’s leverage

 

 

 

42

ratio was 12.5% at September 30, 2009 compared to 8.4% at December 31, 2008. The Company’s capital structure places it above the well capitalized regulatory guidelines, which affords the Company the opportunity to take advantage of business opportunities while ensuring that it has the resources to protect against risk inherent in its business.

The total proceeds from the issuances of common stock during 2009 are approximately $22.1 million.

 

Liquidity

 

Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, short-term investments, securities classified as available for sale and loans and securities maturing within one year. As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company increased its cash liquidity position by investing the proceeds of maturities and principal payments of securities into federal funds sold as a precaution against the economic uncertainties and the resulting volatility that occurred in the securities markets. The Company has relied on wholesale funding and issued trust preferred securities to support its growth in the past. The Company will continue to evaluate funding alternatives as necessary to support future growth.

 

The Company also maintains additional sources of liquidity through a variety of borrowing arrangements. The Company maintains federal funds lines with large regional and money-center banking institutions. These available lines totaled $15.0 million, none of which were outstanding at September 30, 2009. Federal funds purchased during the first nine months of 2009 averaged $0 compared to an average of $520,000 during the same period in 2008. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had $19.8 million and $22.7 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings pursuant to repurchase agreements, with maturities of one day.

 

The Company has a credit line in the amount of $311.4 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. This line may be utilized for short and/or long-term borrowing. The Company utilized the credit line for both overnight and long-term funding throughout the first three months of 2009. Southern Trust Mortgage has a $25.0 million revolving line of credit with a regional bank, which is primarily used to fund its loans held for sale. At September 30, 2009, these lines had an outstanding balance of $7.1 million and are included in total short-term borrowings. Short-term and long-term advances averaged $21.7 million and $77.1 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

 

 

 

43

At September 30, 2009, cash, interest bearing deposits with financial institutions, federal funds sold, short-term investments, loans held for sale and securities available for sale were 36.5% of total deposits.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

 

Commitments to extend credit decreased $15.5 million to $79.7 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $95.2 million at December 31, 2008. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent expected future cash flows. Standby letters of credit were $1.7 million at September 30, 2009. This amount is a decrease from $1.8 million at December 31, 2008.

 

Contractual obligations decreased $42.4 million to $77.6 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $120.0 million at December 31, 2008. This change results from maturities on certain long-term debt obligations and decreases in operating lease obligations. Additional information on commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and contractual obligations is included in the 2008 Form 10-K.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk, though it should be noted that the assets under administration by Middleburg Trust Company are affected by equity price risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability management process, which is governed by policies established by its Board of Directors that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board of Directors delegates responsibility for carrying out asset/liability management policies to the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) of the Bank. In this capacity, ALCO develops guidelines and strategies that govern the Company’s asset/liability management related activities, based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends.

 

Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with the Company’s financial instruments also change, affecting net interest income, the primary component of the Company’s earnings. ALCO uses the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. While ALCO routinely monitors simulated net interest income sensitivity over a rolling two-year horizon, it also employs additional tools to monitor potential longer-term interest rate risk. The model prepared for September 30, 2009 did not include the assets and liabilities of Southern Trust Mortgage.

 

The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet. The simulation model is prepared and updated four times during each year. This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point (bp) upward shift and a 200 basis point downward shift in interest rates. A parallel shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed. The following reflects the Company’s net interest income sensitivity analysis as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

                                                

 

Estimated Net Interest Income Sensitivity

Rate Change

As of September 30, 2009

As of December 31, 2008

+ 200 bp

(6.6%)

(17.4%)

- 200 bp

(10.1%)

4.1%

                                                

 

 

 

At September 30, 2009, the Company’s interest rate risk model indicated that, in a rising rate environment of 200 basis points over a 12 month period, net interest income could decrease by 6.6% on

 

 

 

45

average. For the same time period the interest rate risk model indicated that in a declining rate environment of 200 basis points over a 12 month period net interest income could decrease by 10.1% on average. While these numbers are subjective based upon the parameters used within the model, management believes the balance sheet is very balanced with little risk to rising rates in the future.

 

Since December 31, 2008, the Company’s balance sheet has grown by $12.6 million. Increased deposits have provided the funding for the growth in the loan portfolio. The Company’s interest rate profile is symmetrical for the next 12 months. Based upon a September 30, 2009 simulation, the Company could expect an average negative impact to net interest income of $2.2 million over the next 12 months if rates rise 200 basis points. If rates were to decline 200 basis points, the Company could expect an average negative impact to net interest income of $3.1 million over the next 12 months.

 

The Company maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that has used derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility. The Company’s specific goal is to lower (where possible) the cost of its borrowed funds.

 

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate levels such as yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cashflows. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances about the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

 

Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to factors such as prepayment and refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change, caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes, and other internal and external variables. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that ALCO might take in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in interest rates.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including Middleburg Bank, Middleburg Investment Group, Middleburg Investment Advisors and Middleburg Trust Company) required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Company’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of it that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control

over financial reporting. The Company is currently assessing and establishing internal controls at Southern Trust Mortgage. These controls will become effective in 2009.
