REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Highlands Bankshares, Inc and Subsidiary
Abingdon, Virginia



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Highlands Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009. Highlands Bankshares Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Highlands Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations in any internal control, no matter how well designed, misstatements may occur and not be prevented or detected.  Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.  Further, the evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was made as of a specific date, and continued effectiveness in future periods is subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may decline.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on the framework set forth in "Internal Control - Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on its evaluation, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, Highlands Bankshares, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company's registered public accounting firm was not required to issue an attestation on its internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note  1.                       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Highlands Bankshares, Inc., (the “Parent Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Highlands Union Bank (the "Bank").  The statements also include Highlands Union Insurance Services, Inc., (the “Insurance Services”), and Highlands Union Financial Services, Inc., (the “Financial Services”) which are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Bank.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The accounting and reporting policies of Highlands Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries, (the “Company”) conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and to predominate practices within the banking industry.

Nature of Operations

The Company operates in Abingdon, Virginia, and surrounding southwest Virginia, eastern Tennessee, and western North Carolina under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  The Parent Company was organized on December 29, 1995.  The Parent Company is supervised by the Federal Reserve Bank under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Bank began banking operations on April 27, 1985 under a state bank charter and provides a full line of financial services to individuals and businesses.  The Bank’s primary lending products include mortgage, consumer and commercial loans, and its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and certificates of deposit.  As a state bank and a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Virginia State Bureau of Financial Institutions, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Federal Reserve Bank.  Highlands Capital Trust I became effective January 14, 1998.  The nature of the trust is described more fully in Note 11.  Highlands Union Insurance Services, Inc. became effective October 8, 1999 for the purpose of selling insurance through Bankers Insurance LLC. The only activity in Highlands Union Financial Services is the receipt of life insurance commissions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and federal funds sold, all of which mature within ninety days. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Securities Available-for-Sale

Securities classified as available-for-sale are those debt and equity securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity.  Any decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Company's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors.

December 31, 2009
(Amounts in thousands)

Note  1.                      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Securities Available-for-Sale (Continued)

Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value.  Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases in other comprehensive income, net of the related deferred income tax effect.  Realized gains or losses are included in earnings on the trade date and are determined on the basis of the amortized cost of specific securities sold.  Realized gains or losses are included in earnings. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.

Loans

The Company makes mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers.  A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans throughout  southwest  Virginia. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid balance.  Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized to income over the estimated lives of the loans using the straight-line method which is not materially different from the interest method. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection.  Credit card loans and other personal loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due.   In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged off is reversed against interest income.  The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

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 loan loss reserve 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’s Credit Review and Analysis Department evaluates various loans individually for impairment as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 310, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.  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

Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

upon discounted expected cash flows or collateral valuations.  If the evaluation shows that a loan is individually impaired, then a specific reserve is established for the amount of impairment.  If a loan evaluated individually is not impaired, then the loan is considered for impairment under ASC 450, Accounting for Contingencies, with a group of loans that have similar characteristics.

For loans without individual measures of impairment, the Company makes estimates of losses for groups of loans as required by ASC 450.  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 and ability of lending management; and national and local economic conditions.

The amounts of estimated impairment for individually evaluated loans and groups of loans are 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 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 or too low.  If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail and it is determined that the allowance is not adequate to absorb the new estimate of probable losses, an additional provision for loan losses would be made, which amount may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost.   Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations while improvements are capitalized.  Disposition gains and losses are reflected in current operations. Purchased software costs are included in other assets and expensed over periods ranging from 3-5 years.

Intangible Assets

Capital issue costs relating to the junior subordinated debt securities are stated at cost less accumulated amortization.  Amortization is computed on the straight-line method over the life of the securities - 30 years.

Foreclosed Assets

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure or repossession are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure or repossession, establishing a new cost

basis. Subsequent to foreclosure or repossession, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed and repossessed assets. Foreclosed and repossessed assets at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $6,934 and $3,945 respectively.

Income Taxes

Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by applying enacted statutory tax rates to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.  Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Management evaluates the Company’s tax circumstance and filings under the most current and relevant accounting rules and believes the Company has incurred no liability for uncertain beneficial tax positions (or any related penalties and interest) for the periods open to normal jurisdictional examination (currently 2006 through 2009).


Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share are calculated based on the weighted average outstanding shares during the year.  Earnings per common share assuming dilution are calculated based on the weighted average outstanding shares during the year plus common stock equivalents at year end.

Stock Compensation Plans

The Company accounts for stock compensation plans under the guidance of ASC 718 which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their grant-date fair values.  No options were granted during 2009 or 2008 so no compensation has been recognized.

Use of Estimates
 
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, and the valuation of foreclosed real estate, deferred tax assets and investment securities.

Business Segments

The Company reports its activities as a single business segment.  In determining the appropriateness of segment definition, the Company considers
components of the business about which financial information is available and regularly evaluated relative to resource allocation and performance assessment.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162,” (“SFAS 168”).  SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for nongovernmental entities.  The Codification does not change GAAP. Instead, it takes the thousands of individual pronouncements that currently comprise GAAP and reorganizes them into approximately 90 accounting Topics, and displays all Topics using a consistent structure.  Contents in each Topic are further organized first by Subtopic, then Section and finally Paragraph. The Paragraph level is the only level that contains substantive content. Citing particular content in the Codification involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure. FASB suggests that all citations begin with “FASB ASC,” where ASC stands for Accounting Standards Codification. Changes to the ASC subsequent to June 30, 2009 are referred to as Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”).

In conjunction with the issuance of SFAS 168, the FASB also issued its first Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-1, “Topic 105 –Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASU 2009-1”) which includes SFAS 168 in its entirety as a transition to the ASC.    ASU 2009-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations but will change the referencing system for accounting standards.  Certain of the following pronouncements were issued prior to the issuance of the ASC and adoption of the ASUs. For such pronouncements, citations to the applicable Codification by Topic, Subtopic and Section are provided where applicable in addition to the original standard type and number.

Note  1.                      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


The FASB issued SFAS 166 (not yet reflected in FASB ASC), “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” (“SFAS 166”) in June 2009.  SFAS 166 limits the circumstances in which a financial asset should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire financial asset by taking into consideration the transferor’s continuing involvement.  The standard requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale.  The concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is removed from SFAS 140 along with the exception from applying FIN 46(R).  The standard is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.  Earlier application is prohibited.  The Company does not expect the standard to have any impact on the Company’s financial position.

SFAS 167 (not yet reflected in FASB ASC), “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (“SFAS 167”) was also issued in June 2009.  The standard amends FIN 46(R) to require a company to analyze whether its interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) gives it a controlling financial interest.  A company must assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that the VIE operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that significantly impact its economic performance.  Ongoing reassessments of whether a company is the primary beneficiary is also required by the standard.  SFAS 167 amends the criteria to qualify as a primary beneficiary as well as how to determine the existence of a VIE.  The standard also eliminates certain exceptions that were available under FIN 46(R).  SFAS 167 is 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.  Comparative disclosures will be required for periods after the effective date.  The Company does not expect the standard to have any impact on the Company’s financial position.

The FASB issued ASU 2009–05, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” in August, 2009 to provide guidance when estimating the fair value of a liability.  When a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, fair value should be measured using (a) the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset; (b) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets; or (c) another valuation technique consistent with the principles of Topic 820 such as an income approach or a market approach.  If a restriction exists that prevents the transfer of the liability, a separate adjustment related to the restriction is not required when estimating fair value.  The ASU was effective October 1, 2009 for the Company and did not have any impact on financial position or operations.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

    The segment of the Company’s portfolio that contains the largest unrealized loss is the pooled trust preferred securities (TRUP CDOs) which represent trust preferred securities issued primarily by banks and a limited number of insurance companies and real estate investment trusts. As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s TRUP CDOs amortized cost totaled $5.64 million.
 
    The Company reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”).
 
    During the first quarter of 2009, the FASB ASC Topic 320, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities, amended the assessment criteria for recognizing and measuring OTTI related to debt securities. For analysis of the Company’s TRUP CDOs securities, the Company prepares cash flow analyses on each applicable security to determine if an adverse change in cash flows expected to be collected has occurred. An adverse change in cash flows expected to be collected has occurred if the present value of cash flows previously projected is greater than the present value of cash flows projected at the current reporting date and less than the current book value. If an adverse change in cash flows is deemed to have occurred, then OTTI has occurred. The credit-related OTTI is then recorded through earnings and the non-credit related OTTI is accounted for in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). The Company uses a third party to provide the quarterly cash flow projections to assist  in the determination of OTTI.
 
    During 2009, the Company incurred credit-related OTTI charges of $5.62 million. The entire $5.62 million write-down was related to the TRUP CDOs. The cash flow projections for the pooled trust preferred securities utilize a discounted cash flow test that uses variables such as the estimate of future cash flows, creditworthiness of the underlying banks and determination of probability of default of the underlying collateral.
 
    The expected future default assumptions for the pooled trust preferred securities are based upon the Company’s best estimate of future bank deferrrals. Banks currently in default or deferring interest payments are assigned a 100% probability of default. In all cases, a 15% projected recovery rate is applied to current deferrals and projected defaults.

Note  2.                      Investment Securities Available-For-Sale (Continued)

During 2008 the Company recorded an “other-than-temporary-impairment charge” in the amount of $5.99 million on our investment in preferred stock of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and the Federal National Mortgage Corporation (Fannie Mae”), both government sponsored enterprises (“GSE”). The decision to recognize the unrealized mark-to-market loss on these securities as an “other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is based on the significant decline in the market value of the securities caused by recent events. Prior to this charge, impairment was recorded as an unrealized mark-to-market loss on securities available-for-sale and reflected as a reduction to equity through other comprehensive income. 

On September 7, 2008 the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced that the FHFA was putting both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under conservatorship, eliminating dividend payments on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac common and preferred stock for an unspecified amount of time and giving management control to their regulator, the FHFA.  Due to the actions of the United States government and the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing viability of these two Government Sponsored Enterprises, Highlands Bankshares, Inc. determined that the OTTI charge was necessary under generally accepted accounting principles.  This OTTI charge was a non-cash impairment charge and was recorded during the third quarter of 2008.

Investment securities available-for-sale with a carrying value of $47,988 and $75,329 at December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively, and a market value of $48,309 and $74,078 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively were pledged as collateral on public deposits, FHLB advances and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

    At December 31, 2009, the Company had $6.01 million in loans that were accruing interest under the terms of troubled debt restructurings. This amount consists of $3.17 million in residential mortgage loans and $2.84 million in all other loans. Loan restructurings generally occur when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties in the near-term. Consequently, a modification that would otherwise not be considered is granted to the borrower. These loans may continue to accrue interest as long as the borrower complies with the revised terms and conditions and has demonstrated repayment performance with the modified terms.

            Note 11.                      Capital Securities
 
       On January 21, 1998, Highlands Capital Trust I, issued $7,500 of 9.25% Capital Securities which will mature on January 15, 2028.  The principal asset of the Trust is $7,500
       of the Parent Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with like maturities and like interest rates to the Capital Securities.  Additionally, the Trust has issued 9,000
       shares of common securities to the Parent Company.  The 9.25% Capital Securities had $6,300 outstanding at December 31, 2007 and an estimated fair value of $6,590. The
       related junior subordinated debt securities had an estimated fair value of $6,590. Highlands Bankshares, Inc. repurchased 48,000 or 16% of the shares of Highlands
      Capital Trust I on April 18, 2003, on the open market, at $26.15 per share. The price paid per share corresponds to the January 2008 call price. The premium paid of $55
      is being expensed over the period to the January 2008 call date.
 
       The Capital Securities, the assets of the Trust and the common securities issued by the Trust are redeemable in whole or in part on or after January 15, 2008, or at any
        time in whole but not in part from the date of issuance on the occurrence of certain events.
 
       The Capital Securities may be included in Tier I capital for regulatory capital adequacy determination purposes up to 25% of Tier I capital after its inclusion.   The portion
       of the Capital Securities not considered as Tier I capital may be included in Tier II capital.  Distributions to the holders of the Capital Securities are included in interest
       expense.
 
       The obligations of the Parent Company with respect to the issuance of the Capital Securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Parent Company of the
       Trust’s obligations with respect to the Capital Securities.
 
       On January 15, 2008 (the “Redemption Date”), after receiving regulatory approval, Highlands Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) redeemed $3,862,500 in principal 
       amount of its Junior Subordinated Debt Securities due January 15, 2028 (the “Debt Securities”). All of the Debt Securities are held by Highlands Capital Trust I
       (the “Trust”), the Company’s subsidiary. The redemption price paid for the Debt Securities was 104.625% of the principal amount of the Debt Securities redeemed, plus 
       accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Redemption Date.
 
      Simultaneously, Wilmington Trust Company, the trustee of the Trust, used the proceeds received from the redemption of the Debt Securities to redeem a “like
       amount” of the Trust’s outstanding Common Securities and Preferred Securities (the “Preferred Securities”). The Trust redeemed $3,750,000 in principal amount of the
       Preferred Securities (50% of the total outstanding) at a price equal to 104.625% of the $25.00 liquidation amount per redeemed Preferred Security, plus accumulated
       distributions thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date (the “Preferred Securities Redemption”). Prior to the Preferred Securities Redemption, the Company
       held $1,200,000 in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities then outstanding. In connection with the Preferred Securities Redemption, 50% or $600,000 in liquidation
       amount of the Preferred Securities held by the Company were redeemed.

 Note 11.                      Capital Securities (continued)

Securities was 104.625% of the $25.00 liquidation amount per redeemed Common Security, plus accumulated distributions thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date.
 
As a result of these transactions, the Company incurred a charge to earnings of approximately $168,000, net of tax, during the first quarter of 2008. This charge included the early redemption premium and the impairment of unamortized debt issuance costs relating to the redeemed Debt Securities.

Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Parent Company may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the the junior subordinated debt securitites, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related Capital Securities. Due to the economic environment, the Board has determined that, effective April 15th, 2010, the Company will defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities held by the Company’s subsidiary, Highlands Capital Trust I.  As a result, distribution payments to holders of the Highlands Capital Trust I 9.25% Capital Securities will also be deferred.


Note 12.                      Operating Leases

The Company currently has no operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable terms in excess of one year.

The Bank has a 401(K) savings plan available to substantially all employees meeting minimum eligibility requirements.  The Bank makes a discretionary 1.5% profit sharing contribution to all employees exclusive of employee contributions and employer matching.    Employees may elect to make voluntary contributions to the plan up to 15% of their base pay.  In addition to the 1.5% profit sharing contribution, the Bank matches 50% of the employee’s initial 7% contribution; therefore, the maximum employer matching contribution per employee could be 3.5% of base pay.  The cost of Bank contributions under the savings plan was $324 and $332 in 2009 and 2008 respectively.



 
Note 15.
  Stock Option Plan and Equity Compensation Plan

In 1996, Highlands Bankshares, Inc. adopted a 10 year non-qualified stock incentive option plan, for key employees, officers, and directors and reserved 150,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder.  This number of shares increased to 600,000 as a result of the 1999 two-for-one stock split and the 2005 two-for-one stock split. The plan is identical to and replaced the plan previously adopted by Highlands Union Bank.  The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and an option’s maximum term is ten years.  Option exercise prices are determined by the Board of Directors based on recent open market sales, but shall not be less than the greater of the par value of such stock or 100% of the book value of such stock as shown by the Company’s last published statement prior to granting of the option.  Proceeds received upon exercise of options are credited to common stock, to the extent of par value of the related shares, and the balance is credited to surplus. Shares under options which are canceled are available for subsequent grant.

The Company sponsors an equity compensation plan, adopted by the Board of Directors in 2006, which provides for the granting of nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards and stock units. Under the plan, the Company may grant options to its directors, officers and employees for up to 200,000 shares of common stock. The Company did not grant any equity compensation in 2009 or 2008.

Note 16.
  Off-Balance Sheet Activities

The Bank is party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk arising in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their customers.  Those financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and commercial letters of credit of approximately $2,064 and $2,576, unfunded commitments under lines of credit of $41,298 and $44,766 and commitments to grant loans of $7,980 and $3,064 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively.  These instruments contain various elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statements of financial condition.

The Bank's exposure to credit loss, in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, is the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations that they do for on-balance sheet instruments.

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.  The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon.  Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers.  These lines of credit usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements.  Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  The Company holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.

Note 17.                     Commitments and Contingencies

The Bank has made arrangements with and has available from corresponding banks, approximately $166,136 of lines of credit to fund any necessary cash requirements. The Bank has $82,049 of Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding as of December 31, 2009. A specific class of commercial and residential mortgage loans, with a balance of $208,716 at December 31, 2009 and a specific group of securities available for sale with a lendable collateral value of $19,250 at December 31, 2009 were pledged to the FHLB as collateral.

Note 18.                        Fair Value Disclosures

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures.  Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Fair Value Hierarchy
        
Under ASC Topic 820 on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

 
Level 1 
 
Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
       
 
Level 2 
 
Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
       
 
Level 3 
 
Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
        
A description of valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
 
 
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon third party models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Company’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Note 18.                        Fair Value Disclosures (continued)


Investment Securities Available for Sale

Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. For Level 1 securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from active exchanges. For Level 2 securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

As of December 31, 2009 the Company owns approximately $5.64 million (amortized cost) in collateralized debt obligation securities that are backed by trust preferred securities issued by banks, thrifts, and insurance companies (TRUP CDOs).  The market for these securities is not active and markets for similar securities are also not active.  The TRUP CDOs have been classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because we determined that significant adjustments are required to fair value at the measurement date. The cash flow projections for the pooled trust preferred securities utilize a discounted cash flow test that uses variables such as the estimate of future cash flows, creditworthiness of the underlying banks and determination of probability of default of the underlying collateral.

The expected future default assumptions for the pooled trust preferred securities are based upon the Company’s best estimate of future bank deferrrals. Banks currently in default or deferring interest payments are assigned a 100% probability of default. In all cases, a 15% projected recovery rate is applied to current deferrals and projected defaults.

The remaining securities in the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio are classified within the Level 2 heirarchy using inputs from independent pricing models.

The following summarizes the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment using one of several methods, including collateral value, recent appraisal value and /or tax assessed value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At December 31, 2009, all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is based upon independent market prices or appraised values of the collateral which the Company considers as nonrecurring Level 2.

Note 18.                 Fair Value Disclosures (continued)

Foreclosed Assets / Repossessions

Foreclosed assets and repossessions are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets and repossessions. Subsequently, foreclosed assets and repossessions are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices or appraised values of the collateral which the Company considers as nonrecurring Level 2.  If additional write-downs have occurred due to the recessionary economic environment, then the foreclosed asset blances are reclassified as Level 3.

    The following table summarizes the Company’s assets at fair value on a non - recurring basis as of December 31, 2009, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

General

The Company has no liabilities carried at fair value or measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices.  However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of   the   instrument.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
 
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for cash, short-term investments and federal funds sold approximates fair value.

Securities Available for Sale

Fair values are determined in the manner as described above.

Other Investments

Other investments include Federal Home Loan Bank stock, Federal Reserve Bank stock, Community Bankers Bank stock, and Pacific Coast Bankers Bank. Also in included in other investments are certificates of deposit purchased from other FDIC insured institutions. The carrying value of those securities approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of those Banks. Also included in other investments are certificates of deposit purchased from other banks in which the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Loans

The fair value of loans represent estimates at which the loans of the Bank could be exchanged on the open market, based upon the current lending rate for similar types of lending arrangements discounted over the remaining life of the loans.

Deposits

The fair value of deposits represent estimates at which the deposit liabilities of the Bank could be exchanged on the open market, based upon the current deposit rates for similar types of deposit arrangements discounted over the remaining life of the deposits.


Other Short-Term Borrowings

Fair values of other short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Estimated maturity dates are also included in the calculation of fair value for these borrowings.

Long-term Debt and Capital Securities

Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities or established call prices are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments

The amount of off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees, is considered equal to fair value.  Because of the uncertainty involved in attempting to assess the likelihood and timing of commitments being drawn upon, coupled with the lack of an established market and the wide diversity of fee structures, the Company does not believe it is meaningful to provide an estimate of fair value that differs from the given value of the commitment.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were as follows:

  Related Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, the Bank has made loans to its directors and officers and their affiliates.  All loans and commitments made to such officers and directors and to companies in which they are officers or have significant ownership interest have been made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons, and did not, in the opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features.  The activity in such loans is as follows:

Note 20.
  Restrictions on Cash

The Bank is required to maintain reserve balances in cash with the Federal Reserve Bank.  The total of those reserve balances at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $7,599 and $7,969, respectively.


Note 21.
  Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by their primary regulator, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.  Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators, that if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and Bank and the consolidated financial statements.  Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.  Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Note 21.  Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements (Continued)

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total risk-based capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and Tier I capital to adjusted total assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, that the Company and the Bank met all the capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2009 the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To remain categorized as well capitalized, the Bank will have to maintain minimum total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier I capital to adjusted total assets ratios as disclosed in the table below.  There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

  Restrictions on Dividends

The Parent Company’s principal asset is its investment in the Bank, its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary.  The primary source of income for the Parent Company historically has been dividends from the Bank.  Regulatory agencies limit the amount of funds that may be transferred from the Bank to the Parent Company in the form of dividends, loans or advances.

Under applicable laws and without prior regulatory approval, the total dividend payments of the Bank in any calendar year are restricted to the net profits of that year, as defined, combined with the retained net profits for the two preceding years.
