MANAGEMENT COMMENTS
Rex L. Smith, III, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am pleased with the overall results of both the fourth quarter and the full year 2017. Our patience and diligence allowed us to grow loan and deposit relationships in the types of products and rate structures that make sense for the anticipated rising rate environment. This allowed us to finish with a strong net income number, prior to the one-time write-down of our deferred tax asset (DTA). This is especially encouraging since it also includes opening three branches in 2017. Both loans and retail deposits finished the year with double digit growth and, without regard to the DTA adjustment, net income would have been $10.8 million, or $0.49 a share, while return on assets and return on equity would have been 0.84% and 8.82%, respectively. Additionally, we continue to see improvement in our credit quality as evidenced by our total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets.”
“For 2017, we continued to create significant value through a combination of de novo branching strategy, diversified loan growth and a substantial change in the core deposit mix. The new offices we opened in the past several years continue to give us the opportunity to grow low cost deposits and thus lower our overall cost of funds and dependence on non-core funding. Combined with our discipline in loan pricing, this should allow us to continue our income growth for 2018.”

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company recorded a net loss of $640,000 for the fourth quarter of 2017, compared with linked quarter net income of $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2017 and year-over-year net income of $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. Earnings per common share, basic and fully diluted, were $(0.03) per share, $0.11 per share and $0.12 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2017, September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2017, net income was $7.2 million, or $0.33 per common share basic and $0.32 fully diluted, compared with December 31, 2016, net income of $9.9 million, or $0.45 per common share.
Net income in 2017 was affected by the charge of $3.5 million to income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the re-measurement of net deferred tax assets resulting from the new 21% tax rate established by the Act.
The following table presents summary income statements for the three months ended December 31, 2017, September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Net Interest Income
Linked Quarter Basis
Net interest income was $11.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 compared with $11.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. This is an increase of $223,000, or 2.0%.
Interest income on a linked quarter basis increased $369,000, or 2.8%, to $13.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. This resulted in a tax-equivalent yield on earning assets of 4.52%, an increase of one basis point on a linked quarter basis. Interest and fees on loans increased $498,000, or 4.9%, during the fourth quarter of 2017 when compared with the third quarter of 2017. This increase was attributable to a full quarter of earnings from $25.9 million in loan growth generated in the third quarter of 2017 coupled with a partial quarter of earnings from loan growth of $52.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Interest income with respect to PCI loans was $1.4 million in each of the third and fourth quarters of 2017.

Securities income equaled $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, a decline of $71,000 on a linked quarter basis. On a tax equivalent basis, securities income was $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, a decline of $74,000 from the third quarter of 2017. The tax equivalent yield on the securities portfolio, based on a 34% tax rate, was 3.07% in the fourth quarter of 2017, a decline from 3.10% in the third quarter of 2017.
Interest expense was $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, an increase of $146,000, or 6.2%, over the third quarter of 2017 as interest bearing liabilities increased $19.7 million, or 1.9%, on average, in the fourth quarter.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the average balance of FHLB borrowings was $88.3 million compared with $77.6 million in the third quarter of 2017. The increase in interest bearing liabilities in the fourth quarter of 2017, noted above, enabled the Bank to fund the strong net loan growth of $50.6 million realized in the fourth quarter.
With the changes in net interest income noted above, the tax equivalent net interest margin decreased and was 3.72% in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared with 3.74% in the third quarter of 2017. Likewise, the interest spread was 3.56% in the fourth quarter of 2017, down from 3.59% in the third quarter of 2017.

For the year 2017, net interest income increased $2.6 million, or 6.4%, and was $44.1 million. The tax equivalent yield on earning assets was 4.54% for 2017 compared with 4.50% for 2016. Interest and fees on loans of $40.3 million in 2017 was an increase of $4.3 million, or 12.0%, compared with $36.0 million for 2016. Interest and fees on PCI loans declined $497,000 over this same time frame. Securities income increased $139,000 for 2017 compared with the same period in 2016 and the tax-equivalent yield on the portfolio was 3.12% in 2017 and 3.11% in 2016.
Interest expense of $9.2 million for 2017 represented an increase of $1.4 million, or 17.6%, compared with 2016. Total average interest bearing liabilities increased $53.0 million, as loan growth has been fueled by this increase and an average balance increase of 17.6%, or $20.5 million, in noninterest bearing deposits.
The tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.78% for the year ended December 31, 2017 versus 3.80% for the year ended December 31, 2016. The net interest spread was 3.64% for 2017 versus 3.69% for 2016.
Year-Over-Year Quarter
Net interest income increased $623,000, or 5.9%, from the fourth quarter of 2016 to the fourth quarter of 2017 and was $11.2 million. The tax equivalent yield on earning assets of 4.52% in the fourth quarter of 2017 was an increase of 11 basis points from 4.41% for the fourth quarter of 2016. The yield on loans increased from 4.56% to 4.63% and was coupled with a loan volume increase. The average balance of loans increased by $91.9 million, or 11.2%, from the fourth quarter of 2016 to the fourth quarter of 2017. Interest income on loans was $10.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million over fourth quarter 2016 interest income of $9.4 million.

The tax-equivalent yield on securities was 3.07% in the fourth quarter of 2017 and 3.09% for the same period one year ago.
Interest expense increased $418,000, or 20.0%, when comparing the fourth quarter of 2017 and the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase in interest expense was a result of an average balance increase of $49.4 million in total interest bearing deposits year-over-year and an increase in the rate paid on those deposits from 0.77% in the fourth quarter of 2016 to 0.89% in the fourth quarter of 2017. Overall, the Bank’s cost of interest bearing liabilities of 0.96% increased 13 basis points from 0.83% in the fourth quarter of 2016.

The tax equivalent net interest margin increased two basis points from 3.70% in the fourth quarter of 2016 to 3.72% in the fourth quarter of 2017. However, the interest spread decreased from 3.58% to 3.56% over the same time period. The increase in margin was precipitated by an increase in the level of the average balance of noninterest bearing deposits, from $129.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 to $148.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. This caused the level of average earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities to increase from 116.9% in the fourth quarter of 2016 to 119.0% in the fourth quarter of 2017.
The following table compares the Company's net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the three months ended December 31, 2017, September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The Company’s securities portfolio, excluding equity securities, declined $11.7 million, or 4.5%, from $262.7 million at December 31, 2016 to $251.0 million at December 31, 2017. Net realized gains of $210,000 were recognized during 2017 through sales and call activity, as compared with $634,000 recognized during 2016.

The information below presents certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These measures are a supplement to GAAP used to prepare the Company’s financial statements and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP measures. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies. The tables that follow reconcile these non-GAAP measures from their respective GAAP basis measures, as noted.
As discussed above, the new 21% tax rate that the Tax Cut and Jobs Act established created the need for the Company to re-measure its net deferred tax assets. This re-measurement resulted in a write-down of such assets and a corresponding charge to income tax expense in the amount of $3.5 million. The Company believes that presenting both GAAP earnings and non-GAAP earnings to reflect the one-time charge is meaningful to investors when reviewing the Company’s earnings over various periods, as shown below, as it provides a more meaningful comparison of net income and earnings per share and related ratios for the Company’s core banking operations. The following information is a reconciliation of GAAP earnings measures to the same earnings measures without adjusting net deferred tax assets to the new statutory tax rate.

Common tangible book value equals total shareholders’ equity less identifiable intangible assets, and common tangible book value per share is computed by dividing common tangible book value by the number of common shares outstanding. Common tangible assets equal total assets less identifiable intangible assets. Management believes that common tangible book value and the ratio of common tangible book value to common tangible assets are meaningful because they are some of the measures that the Company and investors use to assess capital adequacy. Management believes that presenting the change in common tangible book value per share, the change in stock price to common tangible book value per share, and the change in the ratio of common tangible book value to common tangible assets provide meaningful period-to-period comparisons of these measures. The following information presents a calculation of these measures.
