Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except share, per share and percentage data)

Note 1  -  General

The consolidated financial statements of Highlands Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") conform to United States generally accepted accounting principles and to banking industry practices. The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 has been extracted from the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the "2016 Form 10-K"). The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the 2016 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policy Update For Certain Required Disclosures

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 was effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within that period, beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU No. 2015-14 issued in August 2015 deferred the effective date of this Update to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.  The adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's current financial position or results of operations; however, it may impact the reporting of future financial statement disclosures.

In January 2016, ASU No. 2016-01 Financial Instruments--Overall (ASU 2016-01) was issued by the FASB.  ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect ASU 2016-01 to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In June 2016, ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments was issued by the FASB. This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren't measured at fair value through net income. The ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach). The Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of the new standard will have on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

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.

Loans are considered delinquent when payments have not been made according to the terms of the contract. 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.  Additionally, in certain instances, loans that have been restructured or modified may also be classified as non-accrual per regulatory guidance until a satisfactory payment history has been established. 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.

Explanation of credit grades:
Quality--This grade is reserved for the Bank's top quality loans. These loans have excellent sources of repayment, with no significant identifiable risk of collection.  Generally, loans assigned this rating will demonstrate the following characteristics:
Conformity in all respects with Bank policy, guidelines, underwriting standards, and Federal and State regulations (no exceptions of any kind).
Documented historical cash flow that meets or exceeds required minimum Bank guidelines, or that can be supplemented with verifiable cash flow from other sources.
Adequate secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidity, liquidation of collateral, or liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor.
For existing loans, all of the requirements above apply plus all payments have been made as agreed, current financial information on all borrowers and guarantors has been obtained and analyzed, and overall business operating trends are either stable or improving.
Satisfactory-This grade is given to performing loans. These loans have adequate sources of repayment, with little identifiable risk of collection. Loans assigned this rating will demonstrate the following characteristics:
General conformity to the Bank's policy requirements, product guidelines and underwriting standards.  Any exceptions that are identified during the underwriting and approval process have been adequately mitigated by other factors.
Documented historical cash flow that meets or exceeds required minimum Bank guidelines, or that can be supplemented with verifiable cash flow from other sources.  
Adequate secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidity, liquidation of collateral, or liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor.
For existing loans, all of the requirements outlined above will apply, plus all payments have been made as agreed, current financial information on all borrowers and guarantors has been obtained and analyzed, and overall business operating trends are stable with any declines considered minor and temporary.
Acceptable-This grade is given to loans that show signs of weakness in either adequate sources of repayment or collateral, but have demonstrated mitigating factors that minimize the risk of delinquency or loss.  Loans assigned this rating may demonstrate some or all of the following characteristics:
Additional exceptions to the Bank's policy requirements, product guidelines or underwriting standards that present a higher degree of risk to the Bank.  Although the combination and/or severity of identified exceptions is greater, all exceptions have been properly mitigated by other factors.
Unproved, insufficient or marginal primary sources of repayment that appear sufficient to service the debt at this time.  Repayment weaknesses may be due to minor operational issues, financial trends, or reliance on projected (not historic) performance.
Marginal or unproven secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidation of collateral and liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor.
For existing loans, payments have generally been made as agreed with only minor and isolated delinquencies.
Special Mention -This grade is given to Watch List loans that include the following characteristics:
Loans with underwriting guideline tolerances and/or exceptions with no identifiable mitigating factors.

13



Extending loans that are currently performing satisfactorily but with potential weaknesses that may, if not corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Bank's position at some future date. Potential weaknesses are the result of deviations from prudent lending practices.
Loans where adverse economic conditions that develop subsequent to the loan origination do not jeopardize liquidation of the debt, but do substantially increase the level of risk may also warrant this rating.
Substandard-Loans in this category are characterized by deterioration in quality exhibited by any number of well-defined weaknesses requiring corrective action. A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt; they are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
The weaknesses may include, but are not limited to:
High debt to worth ratios and or declining or negative earnings trends
Declining or inadequate liquidity
Improper loan structure  or questionable repayment sources
Lack of well-defined secondary repayment source, and
Unfavorable competitive comparisons.
Such loans are no longer considered to be adequately protected due to the borrower's declining net worth, lack of earnings capacity, declining collateral margins and/or unperfected collateral positions. A possibility of loss of a portion of the loan balance cannot be ruled out. The repayment ability of the borrower is marginal or weak and the loan may have exhibited excessive overdue status or extensions and/or renewals.
Doubtful -Loans classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified Substandard, plus the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable. The ability of the borrower to service the debt is extremely weak, overdue status is constant, the debt has been placed on non-accrual status, and no definite repayment schedule exists.
However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur which would salvage the debt. Among these events are:
Injection of capital
Alternative financing
Liquidation of assets or the pledging of additional collateral.

The Company's credit administration personnel and senior financial officers are responsible for tracking, coding, and monitoring loans that become Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs"). Concessions are made to existing borrowers in the form of modified interest rates and / or payment terms. The loans are segregated for regulatory and external reporting. Each specific TDR is reviewed to determine if the accrual of interest should be discontinued and also reviewed for impairment. The Company's senior credit officer performs this analysis on a quarterly basis in addition to determining any other loans that are impaired within the loan portfolio. The Company had a total of $11,773 and $12,660 of loans categorized as troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Interest is accrued on TDRs if the loan is otherwise not impaired and the full collection of principal and interest under the modified terms is still deemed probable.

In the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management considers troubled debt restructurings and subsequent defaults in these restructurings by adjusting the loan grades of such loans. Defaults resulting in charge-offs affect the historical loss experience ratios which are a component of the allowance calculation. Additionally, specific reserves may be established on restructured loans evaluated individually.

There were no new TDRs in the three- or six-month periods ended June 30, 2017. The following tables summarize the troubled debt restructurings identified during the first six months of 2016.

The loan review function seeks to identify weaknesses within the loan portfolio by conducting annual reviews on loan relationships that are greater than $500. The relationship reviews consider collateral, repayment history, guarantor(s) financial position, and debt service coverage on an individual and global level. These reviews are based primarily upon federal tax returns for cash flow determination, internally prepared interim statements and personal financial statements. Debt service coverage (DSC) is calculated on each individual customer, or guarantor, as well as the aggregate or global DSC. The DSC is discounted to determine a "stressed" DSC. Collateral evaluation includes an inspection of the collateral file to determine if the Bank is indeed properly securitized.  Collateral is discounted, when appropriate, to determine a "stressed" loan to value (LTV) ratio. 
In addition to annual loan relationship reviews, quarterly reviews on all loan relationships over $100 that are graded Substandard, Doubtful and Loss are also completed. The quarterly review process is a shortened version of the full relationship review. These quarterly reviews include a discussion on personal credit management, DSC and LTV. In addition to these quarterly reviews of non-pass watch list relationships, a semi-annual review is conducted on all Special Mention loan relationships that are on the watch list. These reviews are prepared in the same manner as the quarterly non-pass relationship reviews. The appropriateness of the risk rating of each relationship is assessed, with changes to the risk rating being made by the Senior Credit Officer or the individual Loan Officer, when deemed appropriate.
The Company also seeks to identify potential problem relationships through a monthly watch list review, which includes a review of past due loans, as well as any other information that might be presented by loan officers, regarding a particular loan relationship

19



that is exhibiting stress. Watch list relationships display distinct characteristics including, but not limited to, late payments greater than 60 days, a low DSC calculation, bankruptcy filings, casualty losses, or other issues that would cause a perceived increase in the risk of loss to the Bank. The final segment of the loan review process involves special reviews. These reviews target specific risk categories of the loan portfolio, such as credit cards, equity lines, consumer loans, construction loans, and other specific segments of the loan portfolio. Currently, the primary emphasis of the loan review function is loan relationship reviews and watch list management.

The segments of the Company's loan portfolio are disaggregated to a level that allows management to monitor risk and performance. In reviewing risk, management has determined there to be several different risk categories within the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses consists of amounts applicable to: (i) the commercial loan portfolio; (ii) the commercial real estate loan portfolio; (iii) the construction loan portfolio; (iv) the consumer loan portfolio; and, (v) the residential loan portfolio. The commercial real estate ("CRE") loan segment is further disaggregated into two classes. Non-owner occupied CRE loans, which include loans secured by non-owner occupied nonfarm nonresidential properties, generally have a greater risk profile than all other CRE loans, which include multifamily structures and owner-occupied commercial structures. The construction loan segment is further disaggregated into two classes. One-to-four family residential construction loans are generally made to individuals for the acquisition of and/or construction on a lot or lots on which a residential dwelling is to be built. Commercial construction loans are generally made to developers or investors for the purpose of acquiring, developing and constructing residential or commercial structures. Construction lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term permanent financing.

The following describes the Company's basic methodology for computing its ALLL.

On a quarterly basis, the ALLL methodology begins with the identification of loans subject to ASC 310.  All loans that are rated "7" (Doubtful) are assessed as impaired based on the expectation that the full collection of principal and interest is in doubt. All loans that are rated "6" (Substandard) or are expected to be downgraded to "6", require additional analysis to determine whether they may be impaired under ASC 310. All loans that are rated "5" (Special Mention) are presumed not to be impaired. However, "5" rated loans, together with any Troubled Debt Restructured (TDR) loan, may warrant further analysis before completing an assessment of impairment.

A loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established on loans for which it is probable that the full collection of principal and interest is in doubt. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment using one of several methods, including collateral value based on recent appraisal and /or tax assessment value, liquidation value and/or 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on either the fair value of the collateral or the discounted cash flows.

For ASC 310 loans that are individually evaluated and found to be impaired (primarily those designated as Substandard and Doubtful), the associated ALLL will be based upon one of the three impairment measurement methods specified within ASC 310:

(1)
Present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate;
(2)
Loan's observable market price; or
(3)
Fair value of the collateral.

To determine the amount of loan loss exposure for the impaired ASC 310 loans, the value of collateral for secured loans is evaluated to determine the current value and potential exposure.  The collateral value is adjusted for its age and condition, and, for real estate, adjusted for condition, location, and age of the most current appraisal.  If the adjusted value of the collateral is less than the current principal balance, the difference is designated as direct exposure for loan loss calculations.  The total balance of unsecured loans is considered as direct exposure.

ASC 450 Loan Loss:

For all other loans, including individual loans determined not to be impaired under ASC 310, the associated ALLL is calculated in accordance with ASC 450 that provides for estimated credit losses likely to be realized on groups of loans with similar risk characteristics. The Company uses standard call report categories to segregate loans into groups with similar risk characteristics. Estimated credit losses reflect significant factors that affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. Key factors that influence risk within the Company's loan portfolio are divided into three major categories:

(1) Historical Loss Factor: To calculate the anticipated loan loss in each call report category for ASC 450 loans, the Company begins with the net loss in each category for each of the last twelve quarters. The Company uses a rolling twelve quarter weighted historical loss average where the most recent quarters are weighted heavier than the earlier quarters so that the calculation

20



reflects current risk trends within the portfolio.  The weighting used by the Company is similar to the Rule of 78's with the net losses of the most recent quarter weighted at 12/78ths and those in the first quarter in the twelve quarter period weighted at 1/78th.   Therefore, the net losses of the most recent year represent approximately 54% of the calculation compared with 33% if a simple average of losses over the three-year period was used.  The total of weighted factors for each call report category is applied to the current outstanding loan balance in each category to calculate expected loss based on historical data for a group of loans with similar risk characteristics.  The same weighting is applied to all loan types .

(2)External economic factors:  Economic conditions have a significant impact on Company's loan portfolio because deteriorating conditions can adversely impact both collateral values and the customer's ability to service debt.  Management has selected the following external factors as indicators of economic conditions:

a. National GDP growth rate
b. Local unemployment rates
c. Prime interest rate

The values for external factors are updated on a quarterly basis based on current economic data.

(3)Internal process factors:  Internal factors that influence loss rates as a result of risk management and control practices include the following:

d. Past-due loans
e. Non-accrual loans
f. Commercial real estate concentrations
f. Loan volume
g. Level and trend of classified loans

The values for internal factors are updated on a quarterly basis based on current portfolio metrics.

Once the quarterly ALLL is computed, the calculations are reviewed by the Company's Senior Loan Officer, CEO, CFO, and Senior Lending Officers, including Credit Review personnel.  The Company's controller also performs a detailed review of the computations, estimates, etc. included in the ALLL calculation. The ALLL is then reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.

Loans Held for Sale

The Company's mortgage division, Highlands Home Mortgage, originates certain single family, residential first mortgage loans for sale on a presold basis. Loan sale activity is summarized below. This division began operations in the second quarter of 2016. Loans are typically sold to one of the various investors within 20 days of closing. Management feels the carrying amounts approximate the fair values of loans held for sale.

Note 6  - Capital Requirements

Regulators of the Company and its subsidiary, Highlands Union Bank (the "Bank"), have implemented risk-based capital guidelines which require compliance with certain minimum capital ratios as a percent of assets and other certain off-balance sheet items that are adjusted for predefined credit risk factors.  On July 7, 2013 the Federal Reserve Board approved Basel III Final Rules to begin implementation January 1, 2015. The desired overall objective of Basel III is to improve the banking sector's ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress.  The Final Rule includes a new Common Equity Tier 1 minimum ratio and raises the tier 1 risk weighted assets ratio to 6% from 4%.  In addition, the new rules require a bank to maintain a capital conservation buffer of between 2 and 2 ½ % beginning in 2016.  Additionally, the new rules increase the risk weighting of various assets. The new rules will be phased in between 2015 and 2019.  Generally, the Basel III Final Rule requires banks to maintain higher levels of common equity and regulatory capital. On December 18, 2014, the President of the United States signed into law Public Law 113-250 (the "Act"), which directs the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) to propose revisions to the Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement (Policy Statement) to raise the total consolidated asset limit in the Policy Statement from $500 million to $1 billion. On February 5, 2015 the Company received notification from the Federal Reserve Bank that it would no longer be required to report holding company consolidated capital ratios.

Note 7 - Capital Issuances / Awards

In January of 2016, the Company's CEO, Timothy K. Schools purchased 235,294 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $4.25 per share in a private placement as disclosed on Form 4 on January 12, 2016.  In February 2016, two of the private placement purchasers participating in the capital raise in 2014, MFP Partners LP and Deerhill Pond Investment Partners, LP, each purchased another 12,744 shares of common stock at $4.25 per share which allowed them to maintain the same ownership percentage they held immediately prior to Mr. Schools' purchase. The Company down-streamed $1,150 to the Bank.

Effective September 6, 2016, the Company and Timothy K. Schools, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, executed an amendment to Mr. Schools' employment agreement. The amendment provides for the grant of 86,667 restricted shares of the Company's common stock.  The restricted shares will vest 50% on the first anniversary of the award date and 50% on the second anniversary of the award date. The restricted shares are being expensed over the 2 years vesting period based on the grant date fair value of the shares.

During 2014, the Company issued a total of 2,092 shares of Series A preferred stock (Note 7). These preferred shares are non-voting mandatorily convertible non-cumulative preferred shares which are entitled to receive dividends equal to dividends paid on the Company's common shares. The Series A preferred shares rank pari passu with common stock with respect to all terms (other than voting), including, the payment of dividends or distributions, and payments and rights upon liquidation and dissolution. Restricted stock awards issued by the Company to Mr. Schools during 2016 are also included in the diluted shares total for 2017. Preferred shares of 2,092 shares and restricted stock of 87 shares were excluded from the 2016 dilutive calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive.


Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Bank is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk arising in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. Those financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.
At June 30, 2017, unused commitments totaled $58,183, compared to $44,803 at December 31, 2016. Standby letters of credit totaled $943 at June 30, 2017, compared to $373 at December 31, 2016.


Note 10 – Fair Value

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.
        

23



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.

Recurring - Investment Securities Available for Sale

Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2. For Level 2 securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from multiple independent third party sources. 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.

The following tables summarize the Company's available for sale securities portfolio measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

Non Recurring - 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 recently appraised collateral 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral or the present value of the future cash flows. The Company frequently obtains appraisals prepared by external professional appraisers and applies discounts ranging from 8% to 40% depending on type of property, condition, location, etc. The Company also, in certain instances, prepares internally generated valuations from on-site inspections, third-party valuation models or other information.

Non Recurring – Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on inputs derived from secondary markets for loans with similar characteristics. The Company considers loans held for sale as non-recurring Level 2.

24




Non Recurring –Other Real Estate Owned  / Repossessions / Real Estate Held for Sale

Other real estate owned and repossessions are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned 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 recent appraised values of the collateral which the Company considers as nonrecurring Level 2.  When the current appraised value is not available or is further discounted below the most recent appraised value less selling costs due to absorption rates and market conditions, the Company records the foreclosed assets within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Real estate held for sale is adjusted to fair value upon transfer from fixed assets or when no longer being used for banking purposes.

The following table summarizes the Company's assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation adjustments and liquidation cost adjustments represent unobservable inputs for OREO and impaired loans.  The ranges of discounts applied are based on age of independent appraisals, type and condition of collateral, current market conditions, and experience with the local market.
(1)  Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable.
(2)  Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses.  The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.
(3)  Includes qualitative adjustments by management.

General

The Company has no liabilities carried at fair value or measured at fair value on a recurring or 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.  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.  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 FDIC insured banks in which the carrying amount approximates fair value.

Loans

The fair value of loans represent the amount 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 .  For fixed rate loans and for variable rate loans with infrequent re-pricing or re-pricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the cash flow analysis.

Deposits

The fair value of time deposits is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the cash flow analysis for each time deposit. Other non-maturity deposits are reported at their carrying values.
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.

26



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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows:

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is provided to address information about the Company's financial condition and results of operations that is not otherwise apparent from the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto or included in this report. Reference should be made to those statements and the notes thereto for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis.

The Company generates a significant amount of its income from the net interest income earned by the Bank. Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income depends on the amount of interest-earning assets outstanding during the period and the interest rates earned thereon. The Company's cost of money is a function of the average amount of deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid thereon. The quality of the assets further influences the amount of interest income lost on non-accrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses. Highlands Union Insurance Services and Highlands Union Financial Services, which are subsidiaries of Highlands Union Bank, generate fee income by providing insurance and financial service products to its clients. Russell Road Properties, LLC is also an entity in which the Bank has a significant interest and was created to hold and manage certain properties acquired by the Bank through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

Critical Accounting Policies

The financial condition and results of operations presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and management's discussion and analysis are, to a large degree, dependent upon the accounting policies of the Company.  The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.  For a discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies related to its allowance for loan losses and other than temporary impairment, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Formal Written Agreement
As discussed in Note 11, on October 13, 2010, the Company and Bank entered into a written agreement ("Written Agreement") with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (the "Reserve Bank"). Under the terms of the Written Agreement, the Bank has agreed to develop and submit to the Reserve Bank for approval within the time periods specified therein written plans or programs to:
strengthen board oversight of the management and operations of the Bank;
strengthen credit risk management and administration;
provide for the effective grading of the Bank's loan portfolio;
summarize the findings of its review of the adequacy of the staffing of its loan review function;
improve the Bank's position with respect to loans, relationships, or other assets in excess of $500,000 that currently are or in the future become past due more than 90 days, on the Bank's problem loan list, or adversely classified in any report of examination of the Bank;
review and revise the Bank's methodology for determining the allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL") and maintain an adequate ALLL;
maintain sufficient capital at the Company and the Bank;
establish a revised written contingency funding plan;
establish a revised written strategic and capital plan;
establish a revised investment policy;
improve the Bank's earnings and overall condition;
revise the Bank's information technology program;
establish a disaster recovery and business continuity program; and,
establish a committee to monitor compliance with all aspects of the written agreement.

Further, both the Company and the Bank have agreed to refrain from declaring or paying dividends without prior regulatory approval.  The Company has agreed that it will not take any other form of payment representing a reduction in the Bank's capital or make any distributions of interest, principal or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without prior regulatory approval. The Company also has agreed not to incur, increase or guarantee any debt or not to purchase or redeem any shares of its stock without prior regulatory approval.

Results of Operations

Consolidated net income totaled $637,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to a net loss of $(674,000) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016. Consolidated net income totaled $1.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to a net loss of $(144,000) for the same period of 2016.

Net interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 decreased $162,000 or 3.4 percent compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to a reduction in average loan balances compared to the prior period. Average loan balances for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $12.3 million compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2016. Average securities balances increased $3.0 million during the same period, and average other earning assets increased $9.6 million due to higher fed funds sold. The tax-equivalent yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.22 percent for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 representing a decrease of 29 basis points from the same period in 2016. 

Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017,when compared to the same period of 2016 due to lower deposits and lower FHLB borrowings. The rate on average interest-bearing liabilities increased from 0.97 percent in the three month period ended June 30, 2016, to 1.02 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2017 due to change in deposit mix.

The provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 totaled $35,000, compared to $1.1 million during the corresponding period of 2016. Net charge-offs for the the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 were $93,000 compared to $1.8 million for the same period of 2016. Second quarter 2016 net charge-offs included $1.7 million recognized on three exposures in the Company's Tri-Cities TN / VA market area.

The Company continually monitors the loan portfolio for signs of credit weaknesses or developing collection problems. Loan loss provisions for each period are determined after evaluating the loan portfolio and determining the level necessary to absorb current charge-offs and maintain the reserve at adequate levels.  The Company's allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2017 decreased to 1.11 percent of total loans compared to 1.25 percent at June 30, 2016.  At December 31, 2016, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.18 percent.

Provision for loan losses was $52,000 for the first six months of 2017, compared to $1.3 million for the corresponding period of 2016, reflecting a significant reduction in net charge-offs, primarily resulting from the large charge-offs recognized during the second quarter of 2016. .

During the first three months of 2017, non-interest income increased $662,000 compared to the corresponding period for 2016, primarily due to mortgage banking income, which was launched during early 2016. The Company's mortgage division originates loans to be sold on a servicing-released basis through its branch footprint and in North and South Carolina. Income from the gain on sale of loans totaled $726,000 during the second quarter of 2017. Other service charges, commissions and fees increased $108,000 as compared to the same period of 2016, primarily due to higher financial services income. Service charge income decreased $73,000 during the second quarter of 2017, compared to the same period of 2016, due to reduction in the number of customer accounts.

Non-interest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 totaled $3.0 million, compared to $2.2 million, primarily due to $952,000 of mortgage banking income generated during 2017. Other non-interest income declined $205,000 during 2017.

Total non-interest expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 decreased $525,000 from the comparable period in 2016, primarily resulting from a $453,000 reduction in OREO-related expenses. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $108,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year period, resulting from the impact of earlier workforce reduction plans and deferred salary costs from current year loan originations.

Non-interest expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 totaled $9.7 million, compared to $10.9 million during the same period of 2016, the combined result of lower OREO-related expenses and salary and employee benefits expense.

Operating return ratios reflect the improvements in the Company's earnings during 2017. The annualized return on average equity was 4.68 percent for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to (0.53) percent for the corresponding period of 2016. Annualized return on average assets for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 0.55 percent compared to (0.05) percent for the three months ended June 30, 2016. While both operating ratios remain below peer averages, the improvements reflect ongoing efforts to achieve stable profitability. The Company continues to identify and implement strategies to improve core operating results.



Financial Position

Total loans, net of deferred fees, increased from $416.9 million at June 30, 2016 to $420.2 million at June 30, 2017.  Total loans, net of fees, at December 31, 2016 were $409.7 million. The loan to deposit ratio decreased from 87.22 percent at June 30, 2016 to 84.57 percent at June 30, 2017. The loan to deposit ratio at December 31, 2016 was 83.63 percent. Deposits at June 30, 2017 have increased $18.9 million since June 30, 2016 and have increased $7.0 million since December 31, 2016. Non-interest bearing deposits increased $6.13 million during the first quarter of 2017.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company has $62.7 million in FHLB advances, including $22.5 million in advances scheduled to mature during the third quarter of 2017 that were repaid in late July and early August. No new advances were originated during the last 12 months. The Company secures all of its existing and future advances from the FHLB with 1-4 family residential mortgage and commercial real estate loans.

Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans, loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, other real estate owned and repossessions. Non-performing assets were $5.6 million or 0.91 percent of total assets at June 30, 2017, compared with $6.8 million or 1.10 percent of total assets at December 31, 2016, and $11.4 million or 1.90 percent of total assets at June 30, 2016.  As demonstrated by the reductions in non-performing assets over the past 12 months, the Company continues its efforts to reduce non-performing assets, primarily by reducing non-accrual loans and selling OREO.

The allowance for loan losses is calculated based on management's judgment and analysis of current and historical loss experience, risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, concentrations of credit and asset quality, as well as other internal and external factors, including general economic conditions. The internal credit review department performs pre-approval analyses of large credits and also conducts credit review activities that provide early warnings of loan deterioration. The senior credit administration officer prepares quarterly analyses of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. These analyses include individual loans considered impaired for direct exposure. In addition, potential losses on loan pools and pool allocations are based upon historical losses and other factors, as adjusted, for various loan types. The calculation of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed by the senior credit officers, the chief risk officer, senior financial officers and the board of directors.

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, management determined that the Company's allowance for loan losses is sufficient and is appropriate based on the requirements of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

At June 30, 2017, OREO balances were $2.5 million and consisted of 21 relationships. At December 31, 2016 OREO balances were $2.8 million and consisted of 22 relationships. The following chart details each category type, number of relationships, and balance.

The Company's special assets officer focuses directly on selling OREO properties and reducing other non-performing assets. The ability to sell OREO continues to be somewhat negatively affected by the current economic climate. Management has allocated significant resources to facilitate sales of OREO to reduce the Company's non-performing assets.

Investment securities available for sale totaled $93.5 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $95.1 million at December 31, 2016, and $98.7 million at June 30, 2016. Investment securities available for sale at June 30, 2017 were comprised of mortgage backed securities/CMOs (77.7 percent of the total securities portfolio), municipal issues (14.1 percent), and SBAs pools (8.2 percent).  There were no investment securities held to maturity at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

Other investments include holdings of Federal Reserve, Federal Home Loan Bank, Pacific Coast Bankers Bank, and Community Bankers Bank stock. These investments had a carrying value of $4.9 million at June 30, 2017, and are considered to be restricted as the Company is required to hold these investments and the only market for these investments is the issuing agency. Also included in other investments are certificates of deposit purchased from other FDIC-insured institutions. The balance of these CDs totaled $997,000 at June 30, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total stockholders' equity of the Company was $56.0 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $55.6 million at June 30, 2016. Total stockholders' equity at December 31, 2016 was $53.8 million. The change in stockholders' equity was primarily due to retained earnings, partially offset by a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the market value of the Company's available for sale securities portfolio.

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).  See Note 4 for a more detailed discussion of the Bank's regulatory capital ratios.

Liquidity is the ability to provide sufficient cash levels to meet financial commitments and to fund loan demand and deposit withdrawals. The Company and subsidiary Bank maintain a significant level of liquidity in the form of cash and cash equivalents ($44.7 million as of June 30, 2017) and unrestricted investment securities available for sale ($62.4 million).  Cash and cash equivalents are immediately available for satisfaction of deposit withdrawals, customer credit needs, and operations of the Bank.  The Bank also maintains a significant amount of available credit with both the Federal Home Loan Bank and a correspondent financial institution. Unencumbered investment securities available for sale represent a secondary level of liquidity available for conversion to liquid funds in the event of extraordinary needs. The Company believes that it maintains sufficient liquidity to meet its current and projected requirements and needs.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

On December 23, 2015, James M. Brock and Jean W. Brock (together, "Brock") filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Grayson County, Virginia, alleging that the Bank acted negligently when it foreclosed on property adjacent to the Brock's property and allegedly failed to remediate the foreclosed property, allegedly causing damage to Brock's property. Brock seeks damages of $200,000 plus prejudgment interest, attorneys' fees, and costs.  The Bank denies any wrongdoing in this matter and intends to vigorously defend itself.  No trial date has yet been set.  The Company is unable to estimate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the amount or range of potential loss.
