Centra Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note A — Organization
Centra Bank, Inc. (the Bank or Centra) is a full service commercial bank that was chartered on September 27, 1999, under the laws of the State of West Virginia and commenced operations on February 14, 2000. Centra Financial Holdings, Inc. (Centra) was formed on October 25, 1999, for the purpose of becoming a one-bank holding company to own all of the outstanding stock of Centra Bank.
Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 2010 and the date these financial statements were issued, for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
Note B — Basis of Presentation
Centra’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Centra’s accounting and reporting policies, which are in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Such policies require management to make estimates and develop assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. Actual results could differ significantly from management’s estimates. Also, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U. S. generally accepted accounting principles for annual year-end financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in Centra’s December 31, 2009, Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Note C — Net Income Per Common Share
Centra determines basic earnings per share by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by the number of shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of stock options. At September 30, 2010 and 2009, stock options outstanding and available to be exercised were 1,220,398 and 1,352,611 shares at an average price of $13.20 and $10.77, respectively. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share was a follows:

Note D — Fair Value Measurements
A hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect Centra’s market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on these two types of inputs are as follows:
   
Level 1 — Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
 
   
Level 2 — Valuation is based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in nonactive markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
 
   
Level 3 — Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.
When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, Centra looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities whenever possible and classifies such items in Level 1. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, Centra looks to market observable data for similar assets and liabilities and classifies such items as Level 2. Nevertheless, when certain assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets and Centra must use alternative valuation techniques using unobservable inputs to determine a fair value and classifies such items as Level 3. The level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant in the fair value measurement.

Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may apply such techniques as matrix pricing to determine the value of identical or similar securities (Level 2). Any securities available for sale not valued based upon the methods above are considered Level 3.
The following table summarizes financial assets, including impaired loans that have been written down and other real estate owned recorded at the lower of cost or market, that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2010:

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP.) Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, Centra records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within secondary market income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, no fair value adjustment was recorded related to loans held for sale.
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. For such loans, impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows to be received from the borrower, or alternatively, the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Impairment is typically measured based on the fair value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, Centra records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, Centra records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). 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 credit losses expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Other real estate owned: Other real estate owned (OREO) is measured at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Appraisals for property may be conducted on the property and are based on consideration of comparable property sales (Level 2). Some valuations may require some degree of professional judgment. In conducting an appraisal for ongoing construction property, the appraiser develops two appraised amounts: an “as is” appraised value and a “completed” value. Based on professional judgment and their knowledge of the particular situation, management determines the appropriate fair value to be utilized for such property (Level 3). Income and expenses from operations and changes in valuation allowance are included in the net expenses from OREO.
Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible: Goodwill is carried at cost basis and is reviewed annually for impairment. Core Deposit Intangible is recorded at cost and amortized monthly and reviewed annually for impairment or earlier if indicators of impairment exist. If impairment exists, the measurement of loss is based on the fair value of the reporting unit (goodwill) and the core deposit intangible. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, no indication of impairment was noted.
Financial Instruments: The following methods and assumptions were used by Centra in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate their fair values.
Loans: The fair value of performing variable rate loans that reprice frequently and performing demand loans, with no significant change in credit risk, is based on carrying value. The fair value of certain mortgage loans is based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair value of other performing loans (e.g., commercial real estate, commercial, and consumer loans) is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
Loans Held for Sale: The estimated fair value of loans held for sale is based upon the market price of similar loans which is not materially different than cost due to the short time duration between origination and sale.
Deposits: The carrying amounts of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits approximate their fair values. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Short-Term Borrowings: The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.

Table of Contents

Long-Term Debt: The carrying amounts of long-term debt approximate their fair value because the debt is a variable rate instrument repricing quarterly.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments: The fair value of loan commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counter parties’ credit standing. The estimated fair value of these commitments approximates their carrying value.
The estimated fair values of Centra’s financial instruments are as follows:

As of September 30, 2010, other investments at cost were $3.9 million compared to $2.9 million as of December 31, 2009, and consisted of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock. FHLB stock is classified as a restricted investment, carried at cost and valued based on the ultimate recoverability of par value. Cash and stock dividends received on stock are reported as interest income. There are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on these investments carried at cost.
At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, investment securities having a carrying value of $106.5 million and $108.5 million, respectively were pledged to secure public deposits and repurchase agreements in accordance with federal and state requirements.

Provided below is a summary of securities available-for-sale which were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. One security was in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2010 compared to ten securities at December 31, 2009, respectively. Centra has the intent to hold these securities and it is more likely than not that Centra will not be required to sell the securities before the anticipated recovery in fair value or by the time these securities mature. Further, Centra believes the deterioration in fair value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and not credit quality of the issuer.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of Centra to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. As of September 30, 2010, Centra determined that no other-than-temporary impairments existed within the available-for-sale securities portfolio.
The estimated maturities presented in the tables below may differ from the contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without call or prepayment penalties. The portfolio contains no single issue (excluding U.S. government and U.S. agency securities) that exceeds 10% of stockholders’ equity.
The fair value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 by contractual maturity, are shown below:

Note F — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2010, FASB issued an accounting pronouncement to improve disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. Companies will be required to provide more information about the credit quality of their financing receivables in the disclosures to financial statements, such as aging information and credit quality indicators. Both new and existing disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment or class. The disaggregation of information is based on how a company develops its allowance for credit losses and how it manages its credit exposure. Required disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for periods ending on or after December 15, 2010, while required disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Centra does not believe that this statement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Item 2.  
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 indicates that the disclosure of forward-looking information is desirable for investors and encourages such disclosure by providing a safe harbor for forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind cautionary statements in this document and other SEC filings including the “Risk Factors” section of Item 1A of our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the corporation notes that a variety of factors, (e.g., changes in the national and local economies, changes in the interest rate environment, competition, changes in governmental regulation including rules and regulations adopted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, additional FDIC special assessments, etc.) could cause Centra’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in those forward-looking statements.
Recent Legislation Impacting the Financial Services Industry
On July 21, 2010, sweeping financial regulatory reform legislation entitled the “Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act” (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law. Generally, the Dodd-Frank Act is effective the day after it was signed into law, but different effective dates apply to specific sections of the law. The Dodd-Frank Act implements far-reaching changes across the financial regulatory landscape, including provisions that, among other things, will:
   
Centralize responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which will have rulemaking authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that would apply to all banks and have broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws;
 
   
Changes standards for Federal preemption of state laws related to federally chartered institutions and their subsidiaries;

Requires the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to seek to make its capital requirements for national banks countercyclical so that capital requirements increase in times of economic expansion and decrease in times of economic contraction;
 
   
Requires financial holding companies to be well-capitalized and well-managed as of July 21, 2011. Bank holding companies and banks must also be both well-capitalized and well-managed in order to acquire banks located outside their domiciled state;
 
   
Provides for an increase in the FDIC assessment for depository institutions with assets of $10 billion or more, increases in the minimum reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund from 1.15% to 1.35% and changes in the basis for determining FDIC premiums from deposits to assets;
 
   
Requires large, publicly traded bank holding companies with assets of $10 billion or more to establish a risk committee responsible for the oversight of enterprise risk management;

Repeals the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits;
 
   
Amends the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) to, among other things, give the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer; and
 
   
Increases the authority of the Federal Reserve to examine the Bank and its non-bank subsidiaries.
Uncertainty remains as to the ultimate impact of the Act, which could have a material adverse impact either on the financial services industry as a whole, or on our business, result of operations and financial condition. Provisions in the legislation that affect deposit insurance assessments, payment of interest on demand deposits and interchange fees could increase the costs associated with deposits as well as place limitations on certain revenues those deposits may generate. Provisions in the legislation that revoke the Tier 1 capital treatment of trust preferred securities and otherwise require revisions to the capital requirements of the company and the Bank could require the Company and the Bank to seek other sources of capital in the future.

Market value per share is determined for purposes of purchases under its Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”). This determination was made based on an independent third party consulting firm engaged by Centra pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Centra uses an independent third party because its stock does not trade on an exchange or over-the-counter. This valuation was based primarily on the stock trading multiples of a group of comparable banks. As no other bank is exactly similar to Centra, choosing a comparable group is a very subjective process. Comparable banks were chosen based on having performance, financial characteristics and geography similar to Centra; however, because of Centra’s location and size there are a very limited number of comparable banks. The primary determination of value was based on the price times earnings and/or price as a percent of tangible book value, as appropriate, with other methods of valuation, such as but not limited to, price as a percent of assets, discounted cash flows, known trades, previous stock offerings and other information deemed by the consultant to be appropriate in the circumstance.
Introduction
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements of Centra is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of the financial results. Centra’s wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Centra Bank, is the primary financial entity in this discussion. Unless otherwise noted, this discussion will be in reference to the bank.
Centra Bank was chartered by the State of West Virginia and is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the West Virginia Division of Banking. The bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System. The bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh.
The bank provides a full array of financial products and services to its customers, including traditional banking products such as deposit accounts, lending products, debit cards, automated teller machines, and safe deposit rental facilities.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the prior year-end audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Centra’s filing on Form 10-K and the ratios, statistics, and discussions contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of Centra conform to U.S. GAAP and to general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management has identified the accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of Centra’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis at September 30, 2010, which were unchanged from the policies disclosed in Centra’s 2009 Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
Overview of the Statement of Income
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Centra earned $7.0 million compared to $7.1 million for the first nine months of 2009. Excluding the dividends paid on preferred stock and warrants in 2009, these earnings equated to a return on average assets of 0.69% and 0.77% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Return on average equity was 7.30% and 9.14% for September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, Centra earned $2.6 million compared to $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2009. Excluding the dividends paid on preferred stock and warrants in 2009, these earnings equated to a return on average assets of 0.74% and 0.69% for third quarter 2010 and 2009, respectively. Return on average equity was 7.65% and 8.38% for the third quarter 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Interest Income and Expense
Net interest income is the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. Interest earning assets include loans and investment securities while interest bearing liabilities include interest bearing deposits and short and long-term borrowed funds. Net interest income is the primary source of revenue for Centra. Net interest income is impacted by changes in market interest rates, as well as changes in the mix and volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
Net interest income increased to $33.2 million in the first nine months of 2010 from $32.1 million in the first nine months of 2009. Net interest income increased to $11.4 million in the third quarter of 2010 from $11.0 million in the third quarter of 2009. This increase was the result of declines in interest expense outpacing declines in interest income from the prior year.
Centra’s interest bearing assets and liabilities increased during the first nine months and the third quarter of 2010 compared to 2009. For the first nine months of 2010, the most significant area of change was a rise in interest-bearing deposits as the average balance increased $96 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The average balance of federal funds sold comprise of the largest increase in earning assets, which increased to $125.9 million compared to $2.4 million for the first nine months of 2009.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the most significant area of change from the prior year was a rise in the average balance of federal funds sold, which increased to an average balance of $146.6 million from $14.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Interest bearing liabilities grew to an average of $1.1 billion for the third quarter 2010 from $991.2 million for the third quarter 2009. These trends reflect the continued deposit growth of Centra in all operating markets.
Net interest margin is presented on a tax-equivalent basis to provide a comparison among all types of interest earning assets. The tax-equivalent basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. Although this is a non-GAAP measure, Centra’s management believes this measure is more widely used within the financial services industry and provides better comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. Centra uses this measure to monitor net interest income performance and to manage its balance sheet composition.
Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest earning assets. This ratio serves as a performance measurement of the net interest revenue stream generated by Centra’s consolidated balance sheet. The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 3.58% and 3.83%, respectively. The net interest margin declined as a result of an increase in the average balance of federal funds sold at a rate of 0.21% coupled with a decline in taxable securities from 3.35% as of September 30, 2009 to 2.12% as of September 30, 2010. Centra experienced an 86 basis point decline in the yield on interest earning assets and a 68 basis point decrease in the yield on interest bearing liabilities.
The net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 3.55% and 3.83% respectively. The net interest margin declined as a result of an increase in the average balance of federal funds sold at a rate of 0.23% coupled with a decline in taxable securities from 3.09% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared to 1.86% as of September 30, 2010. Centra experienced a 91 basis point decline in the yield on interest earning assets and a 71 basis point decrease in the yield on interest bearing liabilities.

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

Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses
Management continually monitors the loan portfolio through its regional loan committees and the Senior Loan Committee to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. This formal analysis assists in determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses and allocation of the allowance among loan types and specific credits. The portion of the allowance allocated among the various loan types represents management’s estimate of probable losses based upon historical loss factors. In addition, Centra considers factors such as changes in lending policies, changes in the trend and volume of past due and adversely classified or graded loans, changes in local and national economic conditions, and effects of changes in loan concentrations. Specific loss estimates are derived for individual credits, where applicable, and are based upon specific qualitative criteria, including the size of the loan and loan grades below a predetermined level.
Centra maintains an allowance for loan losses and an allowance for lending-related commitments. For financial reporting purposes, Centra reports its provision for credit losses as the sum of the provision for loan losses and the provision for losses on lending-related commitments. The allowance for loan losses was $18.3 million, $18.0 million, and $16.5 million as of September 30, 2010, December 31, 2009, and September 30, 2009, respectively, which represents an allowance to total loans of 1.77%, 1.76% and 1.60% at the respective period ends. The allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2010 increased slightly by $0.3 million since December 31, 2009, which is due to an increase in delinquent and non-performing assets as well as management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance. The increase in the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2010 compared to September 30, 2009 was primarily due to deterioration of general economic conditions and the increase in delinquent and non-performing assets from the previous year.

Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, renegotiated loans and other real estate owned. As of September 30, 2010, total non-performing assets reached $28.8 million compared to $9.5 million as of December 31, 2009. The increase is a result of further deteriorating economic conditions in our markets. As of September 30, 2010, other real estate owned was $2.8 million compared to $2.3 million as of December 31, 2009.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual automatically when they become 90-days delinquent or earlier if designated by management that due to certain facts and circumstances the collectability of total contractual principal and interest is in doubt. Collection and/or foreclosure procedures have been initiated on these loans and minimal losses are anticipated. Centra did not have any loans over 90 days past due and still accruing as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Total non-performing loans are loans that are in non-accrual status and as of September 30, 2010 reached $25.1 million compared to $7.2 million as of December 31, 2009, or an increase of $17.9 million since year end. This increase is the result of a few large relationships that either became more than 90 days past due or were moved to non-accrual status after management determined that the borrower may not be able to satisfy their contractual obligations. Centra believes that the allowance adequately covers inherent losses.
As of September 30, 2010, total impaired commercial loans reached $29.4 million, which include commercial non-accrual loans of $22.4 million and three loans totaling $7.0 million that were deemed impaired due to management’s expectation that the borrowers would not be able to satisfy the contractual obligations due to a decline in the collateral values. Of the total impaired loans, $28.7 million required specific reserves due to shortfalls in collateral value. Centra reserved $5.0 million for impaired loans as of September 30, 2010. As of December 31, 2009, total impaired commercial loans were $9.6 million, which include commercial non-accrual loans of $4.9 million and one loan for $4.7 million that was deemed impaired due to management’s expectation that the borrower would not be able to satisfy the contractual obligation due to a decline in the collateral value. Of the total impaired loans, $7.7 million required a specific reserve as of December 31, 2009. Centra reserved $2.5 million for impaired loans as of December 31, 2009.
In addition, troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are included in impaired loans. During the first nine months of 2010, Centra renegotiated terms on five loans with outstanding balances of $1.0 million due to the financial difficulties of the borrower as management believes that the new terms serve the best interests of the bank. Centra did not have any renegotiated loans as of December 31, 2009.
Accruing loans past due 30 days or more have decreased by $1.5 million since December 31, 2009 to $5.0 million as of September 30, 2010. Only 0.48% and 0.64% of Centra’s total loan portfolio were past due 30 days or more as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Commercial loans past due 30 days or more make up 40.9% or $2.0 million of the total loan delinquencies. Consumer loans past due 30 days or more make up 29.1% or $1.5 million of the total loan delinquencies. Real estate loans past due 30 days or more make up 30.0% or $1.5 million of the total loan delinquencies.
In determining the adequacy of allowance for loan losses, Centra segregates the loan portfolio by loan type: commercial, consumer and real estate loans. The following table reflects the allocation of the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009.
                         
    September 30,     December 31,     September 30,  
(Dollars in Thousands)   2010     2009     2009  
Allocation of the allowance for loan losses:
                       
Commercial
  $ 12,353     $ 11,654     $ 10,481  
Consumer
    2,347       2,282       2,205  
Real Estate
    3,606       4,074       3,796  
 
                 
Total
  $ 18,306     $ 18,010     $ 16,482  
 
                 
The increase in the allowance for commercial loan losses at September 30, 2010 from the previous periods is most notably due to a rise in specific reserves and the inherent risk within the portfolio. The $12.4 million allowance for commercial loan losses as of September 30, 2010 includes $5.0 million allocated for specific reserves on impaired loans. The allowance for commercial loan losses of $11.7 million as of December 31, 2009 includes $2.5 million allocated for specific reserves on impaired loans. A specific reserve of $2.6 million was allocated for impaired loans as of September 30, 2009 and was included in the allowance for commercial loan losses of $10.5 million. The specific reserve for impaired loans has increased from the prior year due to a rise in impaired loans during the same period.
Additionally, the historical loss experience has increased slightly from prior periods as Centra has experienced a higher level of losses since September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, total charge-offs reached $2.8 million compared to $2.6 million from the previous year. Centra’s net charge-offs as a percent of average loans were 0.34% through the first nine months of 2010 while according to the FDIC’s Second Quarter 2010 Quarterly Banking Profile, banks $1-10 billion in asset size experienced net charge-offs as a percent of average loans of 1.89%.

The allowance for consumer loan losses has increased at September 30, 2010 from the prior periods which is due to a rise in delinquent and non-accrual loans. The allowance for real estate loan losses has also decreased at September 30, 2010 from the prior periods in reflection of the decline in the outstanding loan balances, which were $184.5 million as of September 30, 2010, $189.8 million as of December 31, 2009 and $191.6 million as of September 30, 2009.
Management records the provision for loan losses as a result of its analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the overall assessment of inherent credit risk. The provision for loan losses for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The provision for loan losses has increased during the first nine months of 2010 due to a rise in impaired loans, which required a larger specific reserve, and higher loss experience compared to the first nine months of 2009.
Centra records an Allowance for Credit Losses related to unused off balance sheet commitments within the other liabilities portion of the balance sheet. Activity in this allowance account is as follows:

Noninterest Income
Fees related to real estate loans sold in the secondary market, service charges on deposit accounts, and electronic banking revenue generate the core of Centra’s noninterest income. Noninterest income totaled $6.6 million and $5.8 million in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009. This increase is mainly driven by the other-than-temporary impairment loss recognized during the first quarter 2009 and a decline in secondary market income. Noninterest income totaled $2.4 million and $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased to $3.0 million in the first nine months of 2010 from $2.7 million in the first nine months of 2009. Service charges on deposit accounts increased to $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2010 from $952,000 in the third quarter of 2009. This growth was the direct result of the corresponding increase in deposit accounts. Similarly, other service charges and fees grew to $2.1 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to $1.9 million in the first nine months of 2009. Other service charges and fees increased to $735,000 in the third quarter of 2010 from $644,000 in the third quarter of 2009. This increase resulted from the combination of growth of accounts and occurrence of transactions in the deposit portfolio of Centra.
Centra originates long-term, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans and sells them in the secondary market, servicing released. Centra’s mortgage banking income includes the recognition of fees received from the borrower and the investor upon the sale of the loan. Centra recognized $583,000 from such fees in the first nine months of 2010 compared to $1.1 million in the first nine months of 2009. Centra recognized $195,000 from such fees in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $281,000 thousand in the third quarter of 2009. The decrease in the 2010 amounts is the result of a decline in secondary market loan origination volume compared to 2009 coupled with a change in who Centra sells loans to on the secondary market.
Other income increased to $850,000 in the first nine months of 2010 from $540,000 in the first nine months of 2009. Other income increased to $312,000 for the third quarter 2010 compared to $153,000 for the third quarter 2009. Other income increased as a result of growth within our investment services area.
Noninterest Expense
For the first nine months of 2010, noninterest expense totaled $26.8 million compared to $24.6 in the first nine months of 2009. Centra’s efficiency ratio was 65.91% for the first nine months of 2010 compared to 62.18% for the first nine months of 2009. This ratio measures the efficiency of noninterest expenses incurred, less amortization of intangibles, in relationship to net interest income plus noninterest income. The efficiency ratio increased from the prior year due to additional overhead expenditures incurred in predominately in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to 2009.
For the third quarter of 2010, noninterest expense totaled $8.9 million compared to $8.4 million in the third quarter of 2009. Centra’s efficiency ratio was 63.17% for the third quarter of 2010 compared to 63.39% for the third quarter of 2009.

This expense includes legal, accounting and consulting fees paid related to Centra’s operations.
Data processing costs totaled $1.9 million in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Data processing costs totaled $620,000 in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $617,000 in the third quarter of 2009. Data processing costs have remained consistent with prior periods despite the overall increase in the number of accounts largely due to our efforts in renegotiating our core vendor contract in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Other outside services total $682,000 in the first nine months of 2010 compared to $761,000 in the first nine months of 2009. Other outside services totaled $199,000 in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $246,000 in the third quarter of 2009. This decrease is primarily due to a decline in correspondent bank fees, ATM Network fees, and courier services.
Regulatory assessment expense totaled $1.3 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to $1.5 million in the first nine months 2009. Regulatory assessment expense totaled $440,000 in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $389,000 in the third quarter of 2009. Regulatory assessment expense was higher in 2009 than 2010 because the FDIC applied a special “one time” assessment to all member banks in the third quarter of 2009 in order to recapitalize the regulatory insurance funds. This fee is in addition to the normal regulatory assessment required by the FDIC.
Other operating expense totaled $3.5 million and $3.4 million in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Centra experienced a marginal increase in other operating expenses and most related expense categories remained fairly consistent with the prior period. Other operating expense totaled $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2009.
Income Tax Expense
Centra incurred income tax expense of $3.4 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to $3.7 million for the first nine months of 2009. Centra’s income tax expense has decreased over the prior year due to a decline in net income before tax. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2010 was 32.73% compared to 34.37% for the first nine months of 2009. Centra incurred income tax expense of $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter 2009.

Short-term borrowings totaled $36.0 million at September 30, 2010, and have decreased $4.8 million since December 31, 2009.
Stockholders’ equity was $133.9 million at September 30, 2010, or an increase of approximately $28.7 million from December 31, 2009. Equity increased primarily due to the stock offering completed during the first quarter, net income recognized for the first nine months of 2010 and as a result of the equity received from the exercise of stock options and stock sold through the dividend reinvestment plan.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $185.8 million as of September 30, 2010, compared to $74.6 million as of December 31, 2009, or an increase of $111.3 million. Centra’s liquidity position improved due to deposit growth as well as the net cash of $20.6 million raised through the stock offering.
Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate on a daily basis due to transactions in process and other liquidity and performance demands. Management believes the liquidity needs of Centra are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional and non-traditional funding sources, and the portions of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year. These sources of funds should enable Centra to meet cash obligations as they come due.
Investment Securities
Investment securities totaled $125.9 million as of September 30, 2010, and $131.5 million as of December 31, 2009. Government-sponsored agency securities comprise the majority of the portfolio. Centra also holds state and municipal securities, corporate issued debt securities and corporate stock. Centra’s investment philosophy has remained consistent and conservative as we do not hold any single issue or pooled trust preferred securities, perpetual preferred equity securities or any securities collateralized by sub-prime loans.
All of Centra’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale. Management believes the available-for-sale classification provides flexibility for Centra in terms of growing the bank as well as interest rate risk management. At September 30, 2010, the amortized cost of Centra’s investment securities totaled $123.8 million, resulting in unrealized appreciation in the investment portfolio of $2.1 million and a corresponding increase in Centra’s equity of $1.3 million, net of deferred income taxes.
As of September 30, 2010, Centra evaluated all investment securities with unrealized losses for impairment. Centra did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses on the investment portfolio during the nine months of 2010.
Management monitors the earnings performance and liquidity of the investment portfolio on a regular basis through Asset/Liability Committee meetings. The group also monitors net interest income, sets pricing guidelines, and manages interest rate risk for Centra. Through active balance sheet management and analysis of the investment securities portfolio, Centra maintains sufficient liquidity to satisfy depositor requirements and the various credit needs of its customers. Management believes the risk characteristics inherent in the investment portfolio are acceptable based on these parameters.

Funding Sources
Centra considers a number of alternatives, including but not limited to deposits, brokered deposits, short-term borrowings, and long-term borrowings when evaluating funding sources. Traditional deposits continue to be the most significant source of funds for Centra, reaching $1.2 billion at September 30, 2010.
Non-interest bearing deposits remain a core funding source for Centra. At September 30, 2010, non-interest bearing deposits totaled $158.4 million compared to $155.7 million at December 31, 2009. Management intends to continue to focus on maintaining its base of low-cost funding sources, through product offerings that benefit customers who increase their relationship with Centra by using multiple products and services.

Interest bearing deposits totaled $1.0 billion at September 30, 2010, compared to $958.7 million at December 31, 2009. Average interest bearing liabilities totaled $1.1 billion during the first nine months of 2010 compared to $980.8 million for the first nine months of 2009. Average interest bearing liabilities totaled $1.1 billion during the third quarter of 2010 compared to $991.2 million for the third quarter of 2009. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits totaled $151.6 million for the first nine months of 2010 compared to $135.6 million for the first nine months of 2009. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits totaled $155.8 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $140.1 million for the third quarter of 2009. Centra has enjoyed strong deposit growth across all of its markets while lowering its cost of funds.
Along with traditional deposits, Centra has access to both short-term and long-term borrowings to fund its operations and investments. Centra’s short-term borrowings consist of corporate deposits held in overnight repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased. At September 30, 2010, short-term borrowings totaled $36.0 million compared to $40.8 million at December 31, 2009.
Centra formed two statutory business trusts in prior years for the purpose of issuing trust preferred capital securities with the proceeds invested in junior subordinated debt securities of Centra. In June 2006 and September 2004, Centra completed the private placement of two $10,000,000 Floating Rate, Trust Preferred Securities through its Centra Financial Statutory Trust II and Centra Financial Statutory Trust I subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2010, the 2006 and 2004 securities are at an interest cost of 1.65% and 2.29%, respectively, over the three-month LIBOR rate, reset quarterly. Interest payments are due quarterly.
Capital/Stockholders’ Equity
On September 16, 2010, the Board of Directors of Centra Financial Holdings, Inc., parent company of Centra Bank, Inc., declared the payment of the company’s eleventh cash dividend on Centra common stock. The Board approved a $0.075 per share cash dividend to shareholders of record on September 17, 2010 that was paid on October 1, 2010.
During the first quarter of 2010, Centra offered up to 1.2 million shares of its common stock for sale at a price of $20 per share and raised net capital of $20.6 million. Centra will use the proceeds of the offering to provide necessary capital to support the overall growth of the organization.
At September 30, 2010, accumulated other comprehensive income totaled $1.3 million compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 2009. All the investment securities in Centra’s portfolio are classified as available-for-sale, both the investment and equity sections of Centra’s balance sheet are more sensitive to the changing market values of investments.
The primary source of funds for dividends to be paid by Centra Financial Holdings, Inc. is dividends received from its subsidiary bank, Centra Bank. Dividends paid by the subsidiary bank are subject to restrictions by banking regulations. The most restrictive provision requires regulatory approval if dividends declared in any year exceed that year’s retained net profits, as defined, plus the retained net profits, as defined, of the two preceding years. At September 30, 2010, Centra Bank has $31.1 million available for dividends.
Centra has also complied with the standards of capital adequacy mandated by the banking industry. Bank regulators have established “Risk-Based” capital requirements designed to measure capital adequacy. Risk-based capital ratios reflect the relative risks of various assets banks hold in their portfolios. A weight category of 0% (lowest risk assets), 20%, 50%, or 100% (highest risk assets) is assigned to each asset on the balance sheet. Detailed information concerning Centra’s Risk Based Capital ratios can be found in Note 12 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Centra’s 2009 Form 10-K. At September 30, 2010, Centra and its banking subsidiary’s Risk Based Capital ratios exceeded the minimum standards for a Well Capitalized financial institution.
Centra and its banking subsidiary are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Centra must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Centra and its banking subsidiary’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Commitments
In the normal course of business, Centra is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk necessary to meet the financing needs of customers and to manage its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement Centra has in these financial instruments.
Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of Centra’s customers. Standby letters of credit commit Centra to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur. Centra had standby letters of credit of $33.1 million and $32.8 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Centra’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter-party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Centra uses the same underwriting standards in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. The total amount of loan commitments outstanding at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, was $141.9 million and $135.2 million, respectively. The total amount of unfunded commitments under lines of credit outstanding at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, was $45.4 million and $45.9 million, respectively. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Centra has recorded $1.2 million for probable losses related to these commitments in other liabilities in the financial statements.
Centra originates long-term, fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans and sells them on the secondary market, servicing released. At September 30, 2010 and 2009, Centra had $32.8 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of commitments to borrowers to originate loans to be sold on the secondary market. The fair value of the derivatives related to these commitments is not material to the financial statements.
Market Risk Management
The most significant market risk resulting from Centra Bank’s normal course of business, extending loans and accepting deposits, is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the potential for economic loss due to future interest rate changes that can impact both the earnings stream as well as market values of financial assets and liabilities. Centra’s management has charged the Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) with the overall management of Centra and its subsidiary bank’s balance sheet related to the management of interest rate risk. The ALCO strives to keep Centra Bank focused on the future, anticipating and exploring alternatives, rather than simply reacting to change after the fact.
To this end, the ALCO has established an interest risk management policy that sets the minimum requirements and guidelines for monitoring and controlling the level and amount of interest rate risk. The objective of the interest rate risk policy is to encourage management to adhere to sound fundamentals of banking while allowing sufficient flexibility to exercise the creativity and innovations necessary to meet the challenges of changing markets. The ultimate goal of these policies is to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity, and safety.
The ALCO relies on various methods of assessing interest rate risk including simulating net interest income, monitoring the sensitivity of the net present market value of equity or economic value of equity, and monitoring the difference or gap between maturing or rate-sensitive assets and liabilities over various time periods. The ALCO places emphasis on simulation modeling as the most beneficial measurement of interest rate risk due to its dynamic measure. By employing a simulation process that measures the impact of potential changes in interest rates and balance sheet structures and by establishing limits on changes in net income and net market value, the ALCO is better able to evaluate the possible risks associated with alternative strategies.
The simulation process starts with a base case simulation that represents projections of current balance sheet growth trends. Base case simulation results are prepared under a flat interest rate forecast and at least two alternative interest rate forecasts, one rising and one declining, assuming parallel yield curve shifts. Comparisons showing the earnings variance from the flat rate forecast illustrate the risks associated with the current balance sheet strategy. When necessary, additional balance sheet strategies are developed and simulations prepared. These additional simulations are run with the same interest rate forecasts used with the base case simulation and/or using non-parallel yield curve shifts. The additional strategies are used to measure yield curve risk, prepayment risk, basis risk, and index lag risk inherent in the balance sheet. Comparisons showing the earnings and equity value variance from the base case provide the ALCO with information concerning the risks associated with implementing the alternative strategies. The results from model simulations are reviewed for indications of whether current interest rate risk strategies are accomplishing the intended goal and, if not, alternative strategies are suggested. The policy calls for periodic review by the ALCO of assumptions used in the modeling.

ALCO believes that it is beneficial to monitor interest rate risk for both the short and long-term. Therefore, to effectively evaluate results from model simulations, limits on changes in net interest income and the value of the balance sheet are established. ALCO has determined that the earnings at risk of Centra shall not change more than 7.5% from base case for each 1% shift in interest rates. Centra is in compliance with this policy as of September 30, 2010, in all rate change scenarios shown below.
The following table is provided to show the earnings at risk and value at risk positions of Centra as of September 30, 2010.
