FAUQUIER BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1.  General

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fauquier Bankshares, Inc. ("the Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Fauquier Bank ("the Bank"), and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Fauquier Bank Services, Inc. and Specialty Properties Acquisitions - VA, LLC. Specialty Properties Acquisitions - VA, LLC was formed with the sole purpose of holding foreclosed property. The consolidated financial statements do not include the accounts of Fauquier Statutory Trust II, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In consolidation, significant intercompany financial balances and transactions have been eliminated.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2017 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").  The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any other interim period.

Certain amounts in the 2016 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 presentation. No reclassifications were significant and there was no effect on net income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things: (1) Require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (2) Require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (3) Require separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables); and (4) Eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." Among other things, in the amendments in ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) A lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. To date, the Company has not completed its comprehensive analysis of those leases and is unable to quantify the impact at this time. The Company believes that the majority of its leases will maintain their current lease classification under the new standard. As a result, the Company does not expect the new standard to have a material effect on its expense recognition pattern or, in turn, its consolidated financial statements.

During June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The amendments in this ASU, among other things, require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The amendments in this ASU are effective for SEC filers for years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company's management is addressing compliance requirements, data gathering and archiving resources, and analyzing the potential impact of this standard.

During August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments", to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If retrospective application is impractical for some of the issues addressed by the update, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

During January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of Business." The amendments in this ASU clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under the current implementation guidance in Topic 805, there are three elements of a business - inputs, processes, and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a "set") that is a business usually has outputs, outputs are not required to be present. In addition, all the inputs and processes that a seller uses in operating a set are not required if market participants can acquire the set and continue to produce outputs. The amendments in this ASU provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amendments (1) require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The ASU provides a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. No disclosures are required at transition. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

During March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07. "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." The amendments in this ASU require an employer that offers defined benefit pension plans, other postretirement benefit plans, or other types of benefits accounted for under Topic 715 to report the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The other components of net periodic benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component. If separate line item(s) are not used, the line item(s) used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization as part of an asset, when applicable. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

During March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, "Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities." The amendments in this ASU shorten the amortization period of certain callable debt securities purchased at a premium. Upon adoption of the standard, premiums on these qualifying callable debt securities will be amortized to the earliest call date. Discounts on purchased debt securities will continue to be accreted to maturity. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Upon transition, entities should apply the guidance on a modified retrospective basis, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption and provide the disclosures required for a change in accounting principle. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2017-08 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

During May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting." The amendments provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The amendments are effective for all entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2017-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

During August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." The amendments in this ASU modify the designation and measurement guidance for hedge accounting as well as provide for increased transparency regarding the presentation of economic results on both the financial statements and related footnotes. Certain aspects of hedge effectiveness assessments will also be simplified upon implementation of this update. The amendments are effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-12 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

At September 30, 2017 there were 23 securities that were in a loss position due to market conditions, primarily interest rates, and not due to credit concerns.

The nature of securities which were temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017 consisted of three corporate bonds with a cost basis net of other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") totaling $3.8 million and a temporary loss of approximately $238,000. The value of these corporate bonds is based on quoted market prices for similar assets. They are the "Class B" or subordinated "mezzanine" tranche of pooled trust preferred securities. The trust preferred securities are collateralized by the interest and principal payments made on trust preferred capital offerings by a geographically diversified pool of approximately 56 different financial institutions per bond. They have an estimated maturity of 17 years. These bonds could have been called at par on the five year anniversary date of issuance, which has already passed for all the bonds. The bonds reprice every three months at a fixed rate index above the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). These bonds have sufficient collateralization and cash flow projections to satisfy their valuation based on the cash flow portion of the OTTI test under authoritative accounting guidance as of September 30, 2017. The bonds, totaling $3,660.0 million at fair value, are projected to repay the full outstanding interest and principal and are now classified as performing corporate bond investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, $103,000 of interest income was recorded.

The Company's allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2017 has three basic components: the specific allowance, the general allowance, and the unallocated components. The specific allowance component is used to individually allocate an allowance for larger balance, non-homogeneous loans identified as impaired. Generally, smaller balance loans and residential mortgage loans are not evaluated for impairment unless they are part of a larger relationship being evaluated, or foreclosure on the property is eminent and a loss is anticipated. The general allowance component is used for estimating the loss on pools of smaller-balance, homogeneous loans; including 1-4 family mortgage loans, installment loans and other consumer loans. Also, the general allowance component is used for the remaining pool of larger balance, non-homogeneous loans which were not identified as impaired. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

U.S. GAAP requires that the impairment of loans that have been separately identified for evaluation be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows or, alternatively, the observable market price of the loans or the fair value of the collateral. However, for those loans that are collateral dependent (that is, if repayment of those loans is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral) and for which management has determined foreclosure is probable, the measure of impairment is to be based on the net realizable value of the collateral.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors involved in determining impairment include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, financial condition of the borrower, and the current economic conditions. A performing loan may be considered impaired if the factors above indicate a need for impairment. A loan on non-accrual status may not be impaired if it is in the process of collection or if the shortfall in payment is insignificant. A delay of less than 30 days or a shortfall of less than 5% of the required principal and interest payments generally is considered "insignificant" and would not indicate an impairment situation, if in management's judgment the loan will be paid in full. Loans that meet the regulatory definitions of doubtful or loss generally qualify as impaired loans under authoritative accounting guidance. As is the case for all loans, charge-offs for impaired loans occur when the loan or portion of the loan is determined to be uncollectible.

At September 30, 2017, there were $3.9 million of commercial loans, including commercial real estate, classified as substandard which were deemed not to be impaired because the Bank believes all principal and interest are likely to be collected according to the original loan agreements and are substandard based on their industry or changes in their cash flow. The recorded investment in impaired loans totaled $6.8 million at September 30, 2017 and $8.5 million at December 31, 2016. Approximately $6.7 million of loans classified as impaired at September 30, 2017 were collateralized by commercial buildings, residential real estate, or land.

No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans.

No loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. There were no defaults on TDRs occurring within 12 months of modification during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

At September 30, 2017, there were 10 loans in the portfolio, totaling $5.9 million, that have been identified as TDRs. At September 30, 2017, six of the TDR loans were current and performing in accordance with the modified terms. Three of the TDRs, totaling $1.4 million, to a single borrower, were in nonaccrual status due to prior irregular payments, but were paying in accordance with a bankruptcy plan. An additional loan of $84,000 was in nonaccrual status due to continued irregular payments. Specific reserves within the allowance for loan loss methodology on TDRs have been established as appropriate.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had two foreclosed residential real estate properties in its possession or in the process of foreclosure with a recorded investment of $670,000.

Note 4.  Junior Subordinated Debt

On September 21, 2006, the Company's wholly-owned Connecticut statutory business trust privately issued $4.0 million face amount of the trust's Floating Rate Capital Securities in a pooled capital securities offering ("Trust II"). Simultaneously, the trust used the proceeds of that sale to purchase $4.0 million principal amount of the Company's Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due 2036. The interest rate on the capital security resets every three months at 1.70% above the then current three month LIBOR. Interest is paid quarterly. Total capital securities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $4.1 million. The Trust II issuance of capital securities and the respective subordinated debentures are callable at any time after five years from the issue date. The subordinated debentures are an unsecured obligation of the Company and are junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company. The capital securities are guaranteed by the Company on a subordinated basis.

Note 5.  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

U.S. GAAP requires that all derivatives be recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements at their fair values. On the date that the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as a hedge of variable cash flows to be paid or received in conjunction with recognized assets or liabilities, as a cash flow or fair value hedge. For a derivative treated as a cash flow hedge, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value is reported in current period earnings. The effective portion of the cash flow hedge is recorded as an adjustment to the hedged item through other comprehensive income. For a derivative treated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings in interest income. The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce interest rate risk and to manage net interest income.

The Company formally assesses, both at the hedges' inception, and on an on-going basis, whether derivatives used in hedging transactions have been highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives are expected to remain highly effective in subsequent periods. The Company discontinues hedge accounting when (a) it determines that a derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of a hedged item; (b) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; (c) probability exists that the forecasted transaction will no longer occur; or (d) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. In all cases in which hedge accounting is discontinued and a derivative remains outstanding, the Company will carry the derivative at fair value, recognizing changes in fair value in current period income in the consolidated statement of income.

Interest differentials paid or received under the swap agreements are reflected as adjustments to interest income. These interest rate swap agreements include both cash flow and fair value hedge derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting. The notional amounts of the interest rate swaps are not exchanged and do not represent exposure to credit loss. In the event of default by a counter party, the risk in these transactions is the cost of replacing the agreements at current market rates.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on July 1, 2010 to manage the interest rate exposure on its Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due 2036. By entering into this agreement, the Company converts a floating rate liability into a fixed rate liability through 2020. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company receives interest quarterly at the rate equivalent to three-month LIBOR plus 1.70%, repricing every three months on the same date as the Company's Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures, and pays interest expense monthly at the fixed rate of 4.91%. The interest expense on the interest rate swap was $20,000 and $26,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $63,000 and $79,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In addition, on June 24, 2016, the Company entered into a forward interest rate swap agreement to convert the floating rate liability on the same Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures to fixed from 2020 to 2031. There was no interest expense recognized on the forward interest rate swap in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017, and there will be no exchange of payments until 2020. Both of these swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and changes in the fair value are recorded as an adjustment through other comprehensive income.

The Company entered into two swap agreements to manage the interest rate risk related to two commercial loans. The agreements allow the Company to convert fixed rate assets to floating rate assets through 2022 and 2025. The Company receives interest monthly at the rate equivalent to one-month LIBOR, plus a spread repricing on the same date as the loans, and pays interest at fixed rates. The interest expense on the interest rate swaps was $9,000 and $21,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the interest expense was $38,000 and $70,000, respectively. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges and changes in fair value are recorded in current earnings.

Cash collateral held at other banks for these swaps was $1.2 million at September 30, 2017.  Collateral posted and received is dependent on the market valuation of the underlying hedges.

Note 7.  Stock Based Compensation

Stock Incentive Plan

On May 19, 2009, the shareholders of the Company approved the Company's Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which superseded and replaced the Omnibus Stock Ownership and Long Term Incentive Plan.

Under the Plan, stock options, stock appreciation rights, non-vested and/or restricted shares, and long-term performance unit awards may be granted to directors and certain employees for purchase of the Company's common stock. The effective date of the Plan is March 19, 2009, the date the Company's Board approved the Plan, and it has a termination date of December 31, 2019. The Company's Board may terminate, suspend or modify the Plan within certain restrictions. The Plan authorizes for issuance 350,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Plan requires that options be granted at an exercise price equal to at least 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. Such options are generally not exercisable until three years from the date of issuance and generally require continuous employment during the period prior to exercise. The options will expire in no more than ten years after the date of grant. The stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and long-term performance unit awards for certain employees are generally subject to vesting requirements and are subject to forfeiture if vesting and other contractual provision requirements are not met. The Company did not grant stock options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and there were no options outstanding at September 30, 2017.

Restricted Shares

The restricted shares are accounted for using the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date the restricted shares were awarded. The restricted shares issued to certain officers are subject to a vesting period, whereby, the restrictions on the shares lapse on the third year anniversary of the date the restricted shares were awarded. Compensation expense for these shares is recognized over the three-year period. The restricted shares issued to non-employee directors are not subject to a vesting period and compensation expense is recognized at the date the shares are granted.

The Company has granted 10,525 and 14,240 shares of non-vested restricted stock to certain officers and 5,139 and 4,536 shares of vested restricted stock to non-employee directors during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Compensation expense for the non-vested shares was $(12,000) and $63,000, net of forfeitures, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $53,000 and $146,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, there was $166,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to these non-vested shares, which will be recorded in conjunction with the vesting periods over the remaining 27 months. There was no compensation expense for the non-employee director vested shares recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, $90,000 and $68,000 of compensation expense was recognized for non-employee director shares, respectively.

The Company granted 10,525 and 13,949 shares of performance-based stock rights with respect to certain officers during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The performance-based stock rights are accounted for using the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date awarded, and adjusted as the market value of the stock changes. The performance-based stock rights are subject to a vesting period, whereby the restrictions on the shares lapse on the third year anniversary of the date the shares were awarded. Until vesting, the shares are not issued and not included in shares outstanding. The awards are subject to the Company reaching a predetermined three-year performance average on the return on average equity ratio, compared to a predetermined peer group of banks. Compensation expense for performance-based stock rights totaled $(7,000) and $11,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $37,000 and $25,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, there was $77,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan.

Note 8.  Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan under Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Code") Section 401(k) covering all employees who are at least 18 years of age. Under the plan, a participant may contribute an amount up to 100% of their covered compensation for the year, not to exceed the dollar limit set by law (Code Section 402(g)). The plan was amended for 2017, and under the amended plan, the Company will make an annual matching contribution equal to 100% on the first 6% of compensation deferred and an additional safe harbor contribution equal to 3% of compensation to all eligible participants. Prior to the amendment, the Company made an annual matching contribution equal to 100% on the first 1% of compensation deferred and 50% on the next 5% of compensation deferred, and an additional safe harbor contribution equal to 6% of compensation to all eligible participants. The Company's 401(k) plan expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $167,000 and $186,000, respectively, and $521,000 and $557,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company also maintains a Director Deferred Compensation Plan ("Deferred Compensation Plan"). This plan provides that any non-employee director of the Company or the Bank may elect to defer receipt of all or any portion of his or her compensation as a director. A participating director may elect to have amounts deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan held in a deferred cash account, which is credited on a quarterly basis with interest equal to the highest rate offered by the Bank at the end of the preceding quarter. Alternatively, a participant may elect to have a deferred stock account in which deferred amounts are treated as if invested in the Company's common stock at the fair market value on the date of deferral. The value of a stock account will increase and decrease based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock. In addition, the deferred amounts deemed invested in common stock will be credited with dividends on an equivalent number of shares. Amounts considered invested in the Company's common stock are paid, at the election of the director, either in cash or in whole shares of the common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares. Directors may elect to receive amounts contributed to their respective accounts in one or up to five installments. There are no directors currently participating in the Deferred Compensation Plan.

The Company has a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for a former key employee's retirement, in which the contribution expense is solely funded by the Company. The retirement benefit to be provided is variable based upon the performance of underlying life insurance policy assets. There was $7,000 of deferred compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.  There was no deferred compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and $16,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Concurrent with the establishment of the deferred compensation plan for the former employee, the Company purchased life insurance policies on this employee with the Company named as owner and beneficiary. These life insurance policies are intended to be utilized as a source of funding the plan. Income on these life insurance policies amounted to $7,000 and $6,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, income on these life insurance policies amounted to $21,000 and 20,000, respectively. The Company has recorded $1.3 million in cash surrender value of these policies at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, which is included in bank-owned life insurance of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 9.  Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants.

U.S. GAAP specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy 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 including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data 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.

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

Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale 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 for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data (Level 2). If the inputs used to provide the evaluation for certain securities are unobservable and/or there is little, if any, market activity, then the security would fall to the lowest level of the hierarchy (Level 3). The Company's investment portfolio is primarily valued using fair value measurements that are considered to be Level 2. The Company has contracted with a third party portfolio accounting service vendor for valuation of its securities. The vendor's primary source for security valuation is Interactive Data Corporation ("IDC"), which evaluates securities based on market data.  IDC utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and include available trade, bid, and other market information.  Generally, the methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, vast descriptive terms and conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs.  

Interest rate swaps: Interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of the management of interest rate risk to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portions of the Company's interest-bearing assets and liabilities. The Company has contracted with a third party to provide valuations for interest rate swaps using standard valuation techniques and therefore classifies such valuation as Level 2. The Company has considered counterparty credit risk in the valuation of its interest rate swap assets and has considered its own credit risk in the valuation of its interest rate swap liabilities.

The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 by levels within the valuation hierarchy:

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. 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.

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

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale:  Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at lower of cost or market value. These loans currently consist of 1-4 family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, the Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on mortgage loans held for sale during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded as a component of noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income.

Impaired Loans: A loan is designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with an impaired loan can be based on the observable market price of the loan, the fair value of the collateral securing the loan, or the present value of the cash flow. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the Company's collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal, of one year or less, conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is more than one year old and not solely based on observable market comparables or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal, of one year or less, if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business' financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivable 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 loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. At September 30, 2017, the Company's Level 3 loans for which a reserve has been established, consisted of two loans totaling $131,000 secured by business assets and inventory with a reserve of $84,000, and one loan totaling $313,000 secured by real estate with a reserve of $274,000.

Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO"): OREO is measured at fair value less estimated costs to sell.  Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral, or management's estimation of the value of the collateral. The Company considers the OREO as nonrecurring Level 3. Total valuation of OREO property was $1.4 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instruments. U.S. GAAP excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

24

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments with a maturity of three months or less approximate fair value. Instruments with maturities of greater than three months are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar instruments.

Securities:  For securities and marketable equity securities held for investment purposes, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. For other securities held as investments, fair value equals quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices for similar securities. Restricted securities are carried at cost based on redemption provisions of the issuers. See Note 2 "Securities" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on determining fair value for pooled trust preferred securities.

Mortgage loans held for sale:  Fair value for loans held for sale is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans.

Loans Receivable:  For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., 1-4 family residential), credit card loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. Fair values for other loans (i.e., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair value for impaired loans is described above.

 Accrued Interest:  The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Bank-owned life insurance:  The carrying amount of life insurance contracts is assumed to be a reasonably appropriate fair value. Life insurance contracts are carried on the balance sheet at their redemption value. This redemption value is based on existing market conditions and therefore represents the fair value of the contract.

Interest Rate Swaps:  The fair values are based on quoted market prices or mathematical models using current and historical data.

Deposit Liabilities:  The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (i.e., interest and non-interest bearing checking, statement savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). Fair values of fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Borrowings:  The fair values of the Company's advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and other borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments:  The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.  The fair values of standby letters of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.  At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair values of loan commitments and standby letters of credit were deemed immaterial.

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

Note 11.  Investment in Affordable Housing Projects

The Company has investments in certain affordable housing projects located in the Commonwealth of Virginia through six limited liability partnerships of the Bank. These partnerships exist to develop and preserve affordable housing for low income families through residential rental property projects. The Company exerts no control over the operating or financial policies of the partnerships. Return on these investments is through receipt of tax credits and other tax benefits which are subject to recapture by taxing authorities based on compliance features at the project level. The investments are due to expire by 2033. The Company accounts for the affordable housing investments using the equity method and has recorded $3.8 million in other assets at September 30, 2017. The Company has also recorded $1.0 million in other liabilities related to unfunded capital calls through 2019. The related federal tax credits, included in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $112,000 and $61,000, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $353,000 and $302,000, respectively. There were $62,000 and $70,000 in flow-through losses recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $149,000 and $197,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which are reflected in the other service charges, commissions, and income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Although we believe our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions, or expectations will be achieved. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain, and actual results could differ materially from those contemplated. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic conditions, the legislative/regulatory climate, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in our market area, our plans to expand our branch network and increase our market share, and accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements in this report and you should not place undue reliance on such statements, which reflect our position as of the date of this report.

GENERAL
 
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on January 13, 1984. The Company is a registered bank holding company and owns all of the voting shares of The Fauquier Bank ("the Bank").  The Company engages in its business through the Bank, a Virginia state-chartered bank that commenced operations in 1902. The Company has no significant operations other than owning the stock of the Bank. The Company had issued and outstanding 3,762,677 shares of common stock, par value $3.13 per share, held by approximately 331 holders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2017.  The Bank has 11 full service branch offices located in the Virginia communities of Old Town-Warrenton, Warrenton, Catlett, The Plains, Sudley Road-Manassas, New Baltimore, Bealeton, Bristow, Haymarket, Gainesville, and Centreville Road-Manassas. The executive offices of the Company and the main office of the Bank are located at 10 Courthouse Square, Warrenton, Virginia 20186.

The Bank's general market area principally includes Fauquier County, Prince William County, and neighboring communities and is located approximately 50 miles southwest of Washington, D.C.

The Bank provides a range of consumer and commercial banking services to individuals, businesses and industries. The deposits of the Bank are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The basic services offered by the Bank include: interest-bearing and non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, money market deposit accounts, NOW accounts, time deposits, safe deposit services, automated teller machine ("ATM"), debit and credit cards, cash management, direct deposits, notary services, night depository, prepaid debit cards, cashier's checks, domestic and international collections, drive-in tellers, mobile and internet banking, telephone banking, and banking by mail. In addition, the Bank makes secured and unsecured commercial and real estate loans, issues stand-by letters of credit and grants available credit for installment, unsecured and secured personal loans, residential mortgages and home equity loans, as well as, automobile and other types of consumer financing. The Bank provides ATM cards, as a part of the MasterCard, Accel and Plus ATM networks, thereby permitting customers to utilize the convenience of larger ATM networks.  The Bank also is a member of the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service ("CDARS") and Insured Cash Sweep Service ("ICS"), to provide customers multi-million dollar FDIC insurance on certificates of deposit investments and deposit sweeps through the transfer and/or exchange with other FDIC insured institutions. CDARS and ICS are registered trademarks of Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC.

The Bank operates a Wealth Management Services ("WMS" or "Wealth Management") division that began with the granting of trust powers to the Bank in 1919. The WMS division provides personalized services that include investment management, trust, estate settlement, retirement, insurance, and brokerage services.
 
The Bank, through its subsidiary Fauquier Bank Services, Inc., has equity ownership interests in Bankers Insurance, LLC, a Virginia independent insurance company, Bankers Title Shenandoah, LLC, a title insurance company, and Infinex Investments, Inc., a full service broker/dealer. Bankers Insurance and Bankers Title Shenandoah are owned by a consortium of Virginia community banks, and Infinex is owned by banks and banking associations in various states.

The revenues of the Bank are primarily derived from interest on, and fees received in connection with, real estate and other loans, and from interest and dividends from investment and mortgage-backed securities, and short-term investments. The principal sources of funds for the Bank's lending activities are its deposits, repayment of loans, the sale and maturity of investment securities, and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB"). Additional revenues are derived from fees for deposit-related and WMS-related services.  The Bank's principal expenses are salaries and benefits and occupancy expense.

As is the case with banking institutions generally, the Bank's operations are materially and significantly influenced by general economic conditions and by related monetary and fiscal policies of financial institution regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve"). As a Virginia-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve, the Bank is supervised and examined by the Federal Reserve and the Virginia State Corporation Commission. Interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest influence deposit flows and costs of funds. Lending activities are affected by the demand for financing of real estate and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such financing may be offered and other factors affecting local demand and availability of funds. The Bank faces strong competition in the attraction of deposits (its primary source of lendable funds) and in the origination of loans.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had total consolidated assets of $631.7 million, total loans net of allowance for loan losses of $485.3 million, total consolidated deposits of $556.2 million, and total consolidated shareholders' equity of $57.2 million.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
GENERAL. The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").  The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use in our estimates. In addition, U.S. GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable accounting method to another method. Although the economics of the Company's transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact the Company's transactions could change.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on three basic principles of accounting: (i) Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 450 "Contingencies" which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable, (ii) ASC 310 "Receivables" which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance and (iii) Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 102, "Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues," which requires adequate documentation to support the allowance for loan losses estimate.

The Company's allowance for loan losses has three basic components: the specific allowance, the general allowance and the unallocated component. Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur. The specific allowance is used to individually allocate an allowance for larger balance, non-homogeneous loans identified as impaired. Generally, smaller balance loans and residential mortgage loans are not evaluated for impairment unless they are part of a larger relationship being evaluated, or foreclosure on the property is eminent and a loss is anticipated. The specific allowance uses various techniques to arrive at an estimate of loss. All troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"), regardless of loan type or amount, are evaluated individually for impairment. Analysis of the borrower's overall financial condition, resources and payment record, the prospects for support from financial guarantors, and the fair market value of collateral are used to estimate the probability and severity of inherent losses. The general allowance is used for estimating the loss on pools of smaller-balance, homogeneous loans; including 1-4 family mortgage loans, installment loans, other consumer loans, and outstanding loan commitments. Also, the general allowance is used for the remaining pool of larger balance, non-homogeneous loans which were not identified as impaired. The general allowance begins with estimates of probable losses inherent in the homogeneous portfolio based upon various statistical analyses. These include analysis of historical delinquency and credit loss experience, together with analyses that reflect current trends and conditions. The Company also considers trends and changes in the volume and term of loans, changes in the credit process and/or lending policies and procedures, and an evaluation of overall credit quality. The general allowance uses a historical loss view as an indicator of future losses. As a result, even though this history is regularly updated with the most recent loss information, it could differ from the loss incurred in the future. The general allowance also captures losses that are attributable to various economic events, industry or geographic sectors whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

Specifically, the Company uses both external and internal qualitative factors when determining the non-loan-specific allowances. The external factors utilized include: unemployment in the Company's defined market area of Fauquier County, Prince William County, and the City of Manassas ("market area"), as well as, state and national unemployment trends; new residential construction permits for the market area; bankruptcy statistics for the Virginia Eastern District and trends for the United States; and foreclosure statistics for the market area and the state. Quarterly, these external qualitative factors as well as, relevant anecdotal information are evaluated from data compiled from local periodicals such as The Washington Post, The Fauquier Times, and The Bull Run Observer, which cover the Company's market area. Additionally, data is gathered from the Federal Reserve Beige Book for the Richmond Federal Reserve District, Global Insight's monthly economic review, the George Mason School of Public Policy Center for Regional Analysis, and daily economic updates from various other sources. Internal Bank data utilized includes: loans past due aging statistics, nonperforming loan trends, trends in collateral values, loan concentrations, loan review status downgrade trends, and lender turnover and experience trends. Both external and internal data is analyzed on a rolling twelve quarter basis to determine risk profiles for each qualitative factor. Ratings are assigned through a defined matrix to calculate the allowance consistent with authoritative accounting literature. A narrative summary of the reserve allowance is produced quarterly and reported directly to the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's application of these qualitative factors to the allowance for loan losses has been consistent over the reporting period.

The Company employs an independent outsourced loan review function, which annually substantiates and/or adjusts internally generated risk ratings. This independent review is reported directly to the Company's Board of Directors' audit committee, and the results of this review are factored into the calculation of the allowance for loan losses.

OTHER-THAN-TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENT (OTTI) FOR SECURITIES:  Impairment of securities occurs when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost. For debt securities, impairment is considered other-than-temporary and recognized in its entirety in net income if either (i) the Company intends to sell the security or (ii) it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If, however, the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, the Company must determine what portion of the impairment is attributable to a credit loss, which occurs when the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security. If there is no credit loss, there is no other-than-temporary impairment. If there is a credit loss, other-than-temporary impairment exists, and the credit loss must be recognized in net income and the remaining portion of impairment must be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). For equity securities, impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary based on our ability and intent to hold the investment until a recovery of fair value. Other-than-temporary impairment of an equity security results in a write-down that must be included in net income. The Company regularly reviews each investment security for other-than-temporary impairment based on criteria that includes the extent to which cost exceeds market price, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer, the best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from debt securities, the intention with regard to holding the security to maturity and the likelihood that we would be required to sell the security before recovery.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
 
This discussion is intended to focus on certain financial information regarding the Company and the Bank and may not contain all the information that is important to the reader. The purpose of this discussion is to provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of our financial statements. As such, this discussion should be read carefully in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained elsewhere in this report.

The Bank is the primary independent community bank in its immediate market area as measured by deposit market share. It seeks to be the primary financial service provider for its market area by providing the right mix of consistently high quality customer service, efficient technological support, value-added products, and a strong commitment to the community. The Company and the Bank's primary operating businesses are in commercial and retail lending, deposit accounts and core deposits, and assets under WMS management.

Net income of $1.28 million for the third quarter of 2017 was an 83.5% increase from the net income of $698,000 for the third quarter of 2016. Loans, net of reserve, totaling $485.3 million at September 30, 2017, increased 5.8% when compared with December 31, 2016, and increased 7.2% when compared with September 30, 2016. Deposits, totaling $556.2 million at September 30, 2017, increased 1.8% when compared with December 31, 2016, and increased 2.0% when compared with September 30, 2016.  Assets under WMS management, totaling $374.1 million in market value at September 30, 2017, increased 0.7% from December 31, 2016 and increased 0.3% from September 30, 2016.

Net interest income is the largest component of net income, and equals the difference between income generated on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Future trends regarding net interest income are dependent on the absolute level of market interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, the amount of lost income from nonperforming assets, the amount of prepaying loans, the mix and amount of various deposit types, competition for loans and deposits, and many other factors, as well as the overall volume of interest-earning assets. These factors are individually difficult to predict, and when taken together, the uncertainty of future trends compounds. Based on management's current projections, net interest income may increase as average interest-earning assets increase, but this may be offset in part or in whole by a possible contraction in the Bank's net interest margin resulting from competitive market conditions and/or a flat or inverted yield curve. A steeper yield curve is projected to result in an increase in net interest income, while a flatter or inverted yield curve is projected to result in a decrease in net interest income.

The Bank's nonperforming assets totaled $3.8 million or 0.60% of total assets at September 30, 2017, as compared with $4.9 million or 0.78% of total assets at December 31, 2016, and $4.6 million or 0.73% of total assets at September 30, 2016. Nonaccrual loans totaled $2.4 million or 0.50% of total loans at September 30, 2017 compared with $3.5 million or 0.76% of total loans at December 31, 2016, and $3.2 million or 0.70% of total loans at September 30, 2016. There was a $395,000 provision for loan losses during the first nine months of 2017 compared with a recovery of loan losses of $508,000 during the first nine months of 2016.

There were net charge-offs of $492,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with a recovery of $732,000 for the same nine months of 2016. Total allowance for loan losses was $4.4 million or 0.90% of total loans at September 30, 2017 compared with $4.5 million or 0.98% of total loans at December 31, 2016 and $4.4 million or 0.97% of loans at September 30, 2016. The decrease in the allowance percentage was due to improvements in asset quality and adjustments to reflect management's perception of portfolio risk based on an analysis of external and internal qualitative factors of the loan portfolio.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016

NET INCOME
Net income of $1.28 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was an increase of 83.5% from $698,000 for the same period in 2016.  Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis were $0.34 for the third quarter of 2017 compared with $0.19 for the third quarter of 2016. Profitability as measured by return on average assets and return on average equity increased from 0.44% and 5.11%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2016 to 0.80% and 8.96%, respectively, for the same period in 2017.

29

NET INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
Net interest income increased $521,000 or 10.5% to $5.49 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 from $4.97 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The increase in net interest income was due to the increase in interest and fees on loans, investment securities and interest on deposits in other banks, slightly offset by an increase in interest expense on deposits. The Company's net interest margin increased to 3.75% in the third quarter of 2017 from 3.45% in the third quarter of 2016.

Total interest income increased $578,000 or 10.7% to $6.00 million for the third quarter of 2017 from $5.42 million for the third quarter of 2016. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the yield on earning assets from 3.77% during the third quarter of 2016 to 4.09% during the third quarter of 2017 and an increase in average earning assets from $578.0 million to $587.6 million over the same period.

The tax-equivalent yield on loans was 4.52% for the third quarter of 2017, compared to 4.40% in the third quarter of 2016. Average loan balances increased $22.9 million or 5.0% from $456.3 million during the third quarter of 2016 to $479.2 million during the third quarter of 2017. These increases resulted in a $435,000 or 8.7% increase in interest and fee income from loans for the third quarter of 2017, compared with the same period in 2016. On a tax equivalent basis, interest and fee income on loans increased $423,000 or 8.4%.

Average investment security balances increased $17.1 million from $49.8 million in the third quarter of 2016 to $66.9 million in the third quarter of 2017. The tax-equivalent yield on investments increased from 2.70% for the third quarter of 2016 to 2.83% for the third quarter of 2017. Interest and dividend income on security investments increased $116,000, from $308,000 for the third quarter of 2016 to $424,000 for the third quarter of 2017.

Interest income on deposits in other banks increased $27,000 from third quarter 2016 to third quarter 2017, resulting from an increase in the average rate earned from 0.52% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 to 1.17% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Total interest expense increased $57,000 or 12.4% from $458,000 for the third quarter of 2016 to $515,000 for the third quarter of 2017 primarily due to increases on the average rates paid for interest-bearing deposit accounts and FHLB advances.

Interest paid on deposits increased $87,000 or 26.7% from $326,000 for the third quarter of 2016 to $413,000 for the third quarter of 2017. Average balances on time deposits increased $1.5 million or 2.2% from $67.7 million to $69.2 million, while the average rate increased from 0.89% for the third quarter of 2016 to 1.09% for the third quarter of 2017, resulting in an additional $38,000 in interest expense. Average savings account balances increased $4.2 million or 5.0% from the third quarter of 2016 to the third quarter of 2017, and the average rate increased from 0.09% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 to 0.15% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, resulting in an increase of $14,000 in interest expense for the third quarter of 2017. Average interest-bearing checking balances decreased $5.5 million or 2.3% from the third quarter of 2016 to the third quarter of 2017, while the average rate increased from 0.21% for the third quarter of 2016 to 0.28% for the third quarter of 2017, resulting in an increase of $35,000 in checking interest expense over the two periods.

Interest expense on FHLB advances was $52,000 and $81,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease was due to a $5.0 million payoff of one borrowing during the second quarter of 2017. Interest expense on junior subordinated debt was $50,000 and $51,000 for the each of the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. 
 
The average rate on total interest-bearing liabilities increased from 0.40% in the third quarter of 2016 to 0.45% for the third quarter of 2017.

RATE VOLUME ANALYSIS

The following table sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense of the Company for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability, information is provided on changes attributable to changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by old rate); and changes in rates (change in rate multiplied by old volume). Changes in rate-volume, which cannot be separately identified, are allocated proportionately between changes in rate and changes in volume.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
There was a $110,000 provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2017 compared with a $425,000 provision for the third quarter of 2016.  Provision expense in the third quarter of 2017 was primarily due to portfolio growth and changes in historical loss rates, adjustments to qualitative factors based on management's ongoing analysis of economic and environmental factors, offset by improvements in asset quality from reductions in classified and nonaccrual loans.

The amount of the provision for loan loss is based upon management's continual evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which encompasses the overall risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, trends in the Bank's delinquent and nonperforming loans, estimated values of collateral, and the impact of economic conditions on borrowers. The loss history by loan category, prolonged changes in portfolio delinquency trends by loan category, and changes in economic trends are also utilized in determining the allowance. There can be no assurances, however, that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts, or that increased amounts of provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods.

32

NONINTEREST INCOME
Total noninterest income decreased by $1,000 or 0.1% when comparing the third quarter of 2017 to 2016. Noninterest income is derived primarily from recurring fee income, which consists primarily of fiduciary trust and other Wealth Management fees, brokerage fees, service charges on deposit accounts, debit card interchange income and other fee income. The change in noninterest income was primarily the result of the following:
Trust and estate income increased $27,000 or 7.7% compared to the third quarter of 2016 as a result of new business and higher asset value due to improved stock market performance during the third quarter of 2017.
Brokerage service revenues increased to $38,000 for the third quarter of 2017 compared with $30,000 for the third quarter of 2016 due to the effect of transitioning some clients from a transaction-based fee structure to a managed asset-based fee structure.
Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $66,000 or 12.4% to $467,000 for the third quarter of 2017 compared to one year earlier. The reason for the change is due to changes in consumer behavior in their personal funds management as a result of greater access to account information via mobile technology, along with improved personal cash flow as a result of improvements in the economy.
Other service charges, commissions and fees increased $30,000 or 8.0% from $376,000 in third quarter of 2016 to $406,000 in the third quarter of 2017. The increase is primarily due to increased net debit card interchange income, which totaled $302,000 and $286,000 for the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Total noninterest expense decreased $19,000 or 0.4% during the third quarter of 2017 compared with the third quarter of 2016, primarily due to the following:
Salaries and benefits increased $61,000 or 2.3% from third quarter 2016 to third quarter 2017. The increase was primarily due to increases in salary expense as a result of full-time equivalent employees increasing during the period, incentive compensation, and commissions.
Occupancy expense remained relatively unchanged, while furniture and equipment expense decreased $22,000 or 8.0%, from third quarter 2016 due to expense management initiatives.
Marketing expense increased $23,000 or 19.3% from the third quarter of 2016 to $142,000 for the third quarter of 2017. Management expects total marketing expenditures for all of 2017 to be similar to 2016.
Legal, auditing and consulting expense decreased $36,000 or 12.0% from the third quarter of 2016 to $263,000 for the third quarter of 2017 primarily due to less legal expenses in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. These fees were higher in 2016 due to expenses related to loans charged-off in prior years.
FDIC deposit insurance premium expense decreased $45,000 from $129,000 for the third quarter of 2016 to $84,000 for the third quarter of 2017 due to recent changes to the assessment calculations, which occurred during the fourth quarter of 2016.

INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense was $387,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared with $116,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The effective tax rate was 23.2% and 14.3% for the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% due to the Bank's investment in tax-exempt loans and securities, income from the bank-owned life insurance policies, and community development tax credits. The Company utilized tax credits of $112,000 during the third quarter of 2017 compared with $101,000 for the same quarter in the previous year, and projects that it will utilize $120,000 in additional tax credits over the remainder of 2017.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016

NET INCOME
Net income of $3.04 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was an increase of 6.0% from the same period of 2016. Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis were $0.81 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with $0.76 for the same period of 2016.  Profitability as measured by return on average assets and return on average equity increased from 0.63% and 7.13%, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to 0.65% and 7.27%, respectively, for the same period in 2017.

33

NET INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
Net interest income increased $985,000 or 6.7% to $15.64 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $14.65 million for the same period in 2016.  The Company's net interest margin increased from 3.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to 3.62% for the same period in 2017.

Total interest income increased $1.1 million or 7.0% to $17.13 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $16.01 million for the same period of 2016.  This increase was due to a 15 basis point increase in the tax equivalent yield on average earning assets and a $18.9 million increase in average earning assets.

The tax-equivalent yield on loans was 4.49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase from 4.40% for the same period in the prior year. Average loan balances increased $12.3 million or 2.7% to $464.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $451.8 million during the same period in the prior year.  The increases in yield and average balances resulted in a $721,000 or 4.9% increase in interest and fee income from loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the same period in 2016. On a tax equivalent basis, the increase in interest and fee income on loans was $689,000 or 4.5%.

Average investment security balances increased $8.2 million from $52.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $61.0 million in the same period of 2017.  The tax-equivalent yield on investments increased from 2.62% to 2.85% over the same respective time periods.  Interest and dividend income on security investments increased $218,000 or 22.8%, from $957,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. On a tax equivalent basis, the increase was $265,000 or 25.5%.

Interest income on deposits in other banks increased $185,000 from $235,000 to $420,000 over the first nine months of 2017 compared with the same period in the prior year, due primarily to higher rates on deposits held at other banks.

Total interest expense increased $139,000 or 10.3% from $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, due primarily to the increased rates paid on interest-bearing deposit accounts, slightly offset by a reduction in interest expenses on FHLB advances.

Interest paid on deposits increased $185,000 or 19.3% from $961,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Average balances on time deposits increased $1.0 million or 1.6% from $65.4 million to $66.4 million, while the average rate increased from 0.87% to 1.04% from the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, resulting in $93,000 more interest expense. Average money market accounts decreased $535,000 or 1.0% from the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, while the rate was constant for both periods at 0.21%, resulting in $2,000 less interest expense. Average savings account balances increased $1.5 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, while their average rate increased from 0.10% for the  nine months ended September 30, 2016 to 0.13% for nine months ended September 30, 2017, resulting in $18,000 of additional interest expense. Average interest-bearing checking balances increased $905,000 from the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, while the average rate increased from 0.22% to 0.27%, resulting in an increase of $76,000 in checking interest expense.    

Interest expense on FHLB advances was $198,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with $243,000 for the same period in 2016 due to the payoff of a $5.0 million advance during the second quarter of 2017. Interest expense on junior subordinated debt remained relatively unchanged for both the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

The average rate on total interest-bearing liabilities increased from 0.40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to 0.44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

RATE VOLUME ANALYSIS
The following table sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense of the Company for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability, information is provided on changes attributable to changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by old rate); and changes in rates (change in rate multiplied by old volume). Changes in rate-volume, which cannot be separately identified, are allocated proportionately between changes in rate and changes in volume.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
There was a $395,000 provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with a recovery of loan losses of $508,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  Provision expense for the first nine months of 2017 was primarily due to portfolio growth and changes in historical loss rates, adjustments to qualitative factors based on management's ongoing analysis of economic and environmental factors, partially offset by improvements in asset quality from reductions in classified and nonaccrual loans. The recovery of loan losses during the nine month ended September 30, 2016 was the result of a $1.4 million recovery received on loans charged-off in previous years.

The amount of the provision for loan loss is based upon management's continual evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which encompasses the overall risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, trends in the Bank's delinquent and non-performing loans, estimated values of collateral, and the impact of economic conditions on borrowers. The loss history by loan category, prolonged changes in portfolio delinquency trends by loan category, and changes in economic trends are also utilized in determining the allowance. There can be no assurances, however, that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts, or that increased amounts of provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods.

36

NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income increased by $81,000 or 2.0% from $4.01 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $4.10 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to the following:
Trust and estate income increased $99,000 or 9.4% from the first nine months of 2016 to the first nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to new business and higher asset value due to improved stock market performance during 2017.
Brokerage service revenues decreased $12,000 or 8.5% from the first nine months of 2016 to the first nine months of 2017 due in part to a decline in volume and the effect of transitioning some clients from a transaction-based fee structure to a managed asset-based fee structure.
Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $131,000 or 8.3% to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period one year earlier. The reason for the change is due to changes in consumer behavior in their personal funds management because of greater access to account information via mobile technology, along with improved personal cash flow as a result of improvements in the economy.
Other service charges, commissions and fees increased $125,000 or 10.1% from $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to an increase in net interchange income, which was $620,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $573,000 for the same period in 2016.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense decreased $5,000 or 0.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the same period in 2016.  This decrease was primarily due to the following:
Salaries and benefits increased $392,000 or 5.0% from the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to increases in salary expense as a result of full-time equivalent employees increasing during the period, incentive compensation, and commissions. 
Furniture and equipment expense decreased $75,000 or 7.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to decreased repairs and fewer small equipment purchases.
Marketing expense decreased $30,000 or 7.4% from the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $378,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to expense management initiatives.
Legal, accounting and consulting expense decreased $89,000 or 9.9% from the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $809,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to higher expenses in 2016 as a result of loans charged-off in prior years. There were no legal expenses of this magnitude during the first nine months of 2017.
Data processing expense increased $14,000 or 1.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the same time period in 2016.
FDIC deposit insurance expense decreased $199,000 or 46.9% from $424,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $225,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to recent changes to the assessment calculations, which occurred during the fourth quarter of 2016.
OREO expense decreased $8,000 or 50.0% from $16,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $8,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense was $734,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and $739,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The effective tax rate was 19.5% and 20.5% for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% due to the Bank's investment in tax-exempt loans and securities, income from the bank-owned life insurance purchases, and community development tax credits. The Company utilized tax credits of $353,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with $201,000 for the same period in the previous year, and projects that it will utilize $120,000 in additional tax credits over the remainder of 2017.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND DECEMBER 31, 2016
Total assets were $631.7 million at September 30, 2017 compared with $624.4 million at December 31, 2016, an increase of 1.2% or $7.3 million. Balance sheet categories reflecting significant changes include interest-bearing deposits in other banks, securities available for sale, net loans, deposits and FHLB advances. Each of these categories are discussed below.
Interest-bearing deposits in other banks were $27.1 million at September 30, 2017, a decrease of $35.2 million from December 31, 2016. The decrease in this account is primarily due to the decrease in deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, which were used to fund growth in loan and securities.
Securities available for sale were $67.1 million at September 30, 2017, an increase of $17.2 million or 34.3% from December 31, 2016, due to an increase in purchases, specifically tax-exempt municipals and mortgage backed securities.
Loans, net of allowance for loan losses, were $485.3 million at September 30, 2017, reflecting an increase of $26.7 million from $458.6 million at December 31, 2016, which is in line with the Company's strategic growth objectives.
Total deposits increased by $10.1 million or 1.8% when compared with total deposits at December 31, 2016. Non-interest bearing deposits increased $5.6 million to $115.7 million, while interest-bearing deposits increased by $4.5 million to $440.5 million at September 30, 2017 from December 31, 2016. Included in interest-bearing deposits at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $15.6 million of brokered deposits. Of the $15.6 million in brokered deposits, $1.3 million represent deposits of Bank customers exchanged through the CDARS network and $9.9 million were money market deposits through the ICS network. With the CDARS program, funds are placed into certificate of deposit accounts issued by other banks in the network, in increments of less than $250,000, to ensure both principal and interest are eligible for complete FDIC coverage. These deposits are exchanged with other member banks on a dollar-for-dollar basis, bringing the full amount of our customers' deposits back to the Bank and making these funds fully available for lending in our community. The ICS program operates the same as the CDARS program, but is for money market funds. The increase in the Bank's interest-bearing deposits during the first nine months of 2017 was the result of many factors including, but not limited to, the economy, local competition, retail customer preferences, changes in seasonal cash flows by both commercial and retail customers, changes in business cash management practices by Bank customers, the relative pricing from wholesale funding sources, the in-and-outflow of local government tax receipts, and the Bank's funding needs. The Bank projects to increase its transaction accounts and other deposits during the remainder of 2017 and beyond by offering value-added interest checking and demand deposit products, and selective rate premiums on its interest-bearing deposits.

37

ASSET QUALITY
Nonperforming assets primarily consist of loans that are 90 days or more past due and for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued. Management evaluates all loans that are 90 days or more past due, as well as borrowers that have suffered financial distress, to determine if they should be placed on nonaccrual status. Factors considered by management include the net realizable value of collateral, if any, and other resources of the borrower that may be available to satisfy the delinquency.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more, unless the loans are well secured and in the process of collection. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on such loans is reversed from income. Interest income generally is not recognized on nonaccrual loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest payments received on such loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance.

The table below summarizes nonperforming assets for the periods indicated.

Restructured loans on non-accrual status are included with non-accrual loans and not with restructured loans in the above table.

Nonperforming assets were comprised of $1.4 million of OREO and $2.4 million of nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2017. Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.50% at September 30, 2017, compared with 0.76% and 0.70% at December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, respectfully. The decline in nonaccrual loans from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 was due primarily to a payoff of a $1.0 million residential loan and a charge-off of $476,000 on a commercial real estate loan during the second quarter of 2017 that were previously on nonaccrual status at December 31, 2016.

Student loans that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $2.1 million at September 30, 2017, $2.5 million at December 31, 2016 and $1.9 million at September 30, 2016. These loans continue to accrue interest when past due because repayment of both principal and accrued interest are 98% guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education. Excluding student loans, loans that were 90 days past due and still accruing interest totaled $565,000 at September 30, 2017, $321,000 at December 31, 2016 and none at September 30, 2016.

There were no loans modified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and there were no defaults on TDRs occurring within 12 months of modification during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, there were 10 loans in the portfolio totaling $5.9 million that have been identified as TDR, of which:
six were current and performing in accordance with the modified terms;
three, totaling $1.4 million, were in nonaccrual status due to prior irregular payments, but were paying in accordance with a bankruptcy plan, and;
one loan for $84,000 was in nonaccrual status due to continued irregular payments.

Reserves on TDRs have been established as appropriate.

The allowance for loan losses to total loans has decreased to 0.90% at September 30, 2017 from 0.98% at December 31, 2016.  This decrease reflects the improvements in asset quality as shown by the reduction in total impaired loans, loans past due, classified loans and nonaccrual loans.

Based on regulatory guidelines, the Bank is required to monitor the commercial investment real estate loan portfolio for: (a) concentrations above 100% of risk-based capital for commercial construction and land loans and (b) 300% of risk-based capital for permanent investor commercial real estate loans. As of September 30, 2017, commercial construction and land loans were $34.3 million or 54.1% of the concentration limit. Commercial investor real estate loans, including commercial construction and land loans, were $116.1 million or 182.7% of the concentration guideline.

At September 30, 2017, no concentration of loans and loan commitments to commercial borrowers engaged in similar activities (excluding commercial real estate investments) exceeded 5% of total gross loans. The largest industry concentrations of loans and loan commitments at September 30, 2017 were approximately $17.7 million of loans to the hospitality industry, or 3.9% of total gross loans and approximately $16.8 million to the child care industry, or 3.6% of total gross loans.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As of September 30, 2017, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of September 30, 2017, there have been no material changes to the off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

CAPITAL
The Company meets the eligibility criteria of a small bank holding company in accordance with the Federal Reserve's Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement issued in February 2015, and is no longer obligated to report consolidated regulatory capital. The Bank continues to be subject to various capital requirements administered by banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank 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. The Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. In July 2013, the Federal Reserve issued final rules that make technical changes to its capital rules to align them with the Basel III regulatory capital framework and meet certain requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rules maintain the general structure of the prompt corrective action framework in effect at such time while incorporating certain increased minimum requirements. Effective January 1, 2015, the final rules require the Bank to comply with the following minimum capital ratios: (i) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% of risk-weighted assets (increased from the prior requirement of 4.0%); (iii) a total capital ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets (unchanged from the prior requirement); and (iv) a leverage ratio of 4.0% of total assets (unchanged from the prior requirement). These are the initial capital requirements, which will be phased in over a four-year period. When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the rules will require the Bank to maintain such minimum ratios plus a 2.5% "capital conservation buffer" (other than for the leverage ratio). The phase in of the capital conservation buffer requirement began on January 1, 2016, at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets, increasing by the same amount each year until fully implemented at 2.5% on January 1, 2019. Management believes the Bank will be compliant with the fully phased-in requirements when they become effective January 1, 2019.

39

The following table provides information on the regulatory capital ratios for the Bank at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Management believes that the Bank exceeds all capital adequacy requirements of Basel III, including the conservation buffer, as of September 30, 2017.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Shareholders' equity totaled $57.2 million at September 30, 2017 compared with $54.5 million at December 31, 2016 and $54.3 million at September 30, 2016. The amount of equity reflects management's desire to increase shareholders' return on equity while maintaining a strong capital base. On January 19, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 112,618 shares (3% of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2017) beginning January 1, 2017 and continuing until the next Board reset. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, no shares of common stock were repurchased. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,  382 shares of common stock were repurchased.

As discussed in "Junior Subordinated Debt" in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein, during 2006, the Company established a subsidiary trust that issued $4.0 million of capital securities as part of a separate pooled trust preferred security offering with other financial institutions. Under current applicable regulatory guidelines, the capital securities are treated as Tier 1 capital for purposes of the Federal Reserve's capital guidelines for bank holding companies, as long as the capital securities and all other cumulative preferred securities of the Company together do not exceed 25% of Tier 1 capital. As discussed above under "Capital," banking regulations have established minimum capital requirements for financial institutions, including risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios. As of September 30, 2017, the Bank falls into the "well capitalized" category as defined by the appropriate regulatory authorities.

The primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans, maturities of investments, funds provided from operations, federal funds lines of credit with the Federal Reserve and other banks, and advances from the FHLB. While scheduled repayments of loans and maturities of investment securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan repayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank uses its sources of funds to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to maintain liquidity, and to meet operating expenses. Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the desirable funding level based in part on the Bank's commitments to make loans and management's assessment of the Bank's ability to generate funds. Management is not aware of any market or institutional trends, events or uncertainties that are expected to have a material effect on the liquidity, capital resources or operations of the Company or the Bank. Management is unaware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities that would have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources or operations. The Bank's internal sources of such liquidity are deposits, loan and investment repayments, and securities available for sale. The Bank's primary external sources of liquidity are federal funds lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and other banks and advances from the FHLB.

Cash and amounts due from depository institutions, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and federal funds sold totaled $31.9 million at September 30, 2017 compared with $67.8 million at December 31, 2016. These assets provide a primary source of liquidity for the Bank. In addition, management has designated the entire investment portfolio as available for sale, of which approximately $18.9 million was unpledged and readily salable at September 30, 2017. Furthermore, the Bank has an available line of credit with the FHLB with a borrowing limit of approximately $117.0 million at September 30, 2017 to provide additional sources of liquidity, as well as available federal funds purchased lines of credit with the Federal Reserve and various other commercial banks totaling approximately $62.5 million. At September 30, 2017, $7.9 million of the FHLB line of credit and no federal funds purchased lines of credit were in use.

The following table sets forth information relating to the Company's sources of liquidity and the outstanding commitments for use of liquidity at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The liquidity coverage ratio is derived by dividing the total sources of liquidity by the outstanding commitments for use of liquidity.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this document have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Bank are monetary in nature. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of operations. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

ITEM 3QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

An important component of both earnings performance and liquidity is management of interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate sensitivity reflects the potential effect on net interest income and economic value of equity from a change in market interest rates. The Bank is subject to interest rate sensitivity to the degree that its interest-earning assets mature or reprice at different time intervals than its interest-bearing liabilities. However, the Bank is not subject to the other major categories of market risk such as foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. The Bank uses a number of tools to manage its interest rate risk, including simulating net interest income under various scenarios, monitoring the present value change in equity under the same scenarios, and monitoring the difference or gap between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities over various time periods. Management believes that rate risk is best measured by simulation modeling.
 
There have been no material changes to the quantitative and qualitative disclosures made in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

ITEM 4CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
