CARDINAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2010

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1

 

Organization

 

Cardinal Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as a financial holding company whose activities consist of investment in its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The principal operating subsidiary of the Company is Cardinal Bank (the “Bank”), a state-chartered institution and its subsidiary, George Mason Mortgage, LLC (“George Mason”), a mortgage banking company based in Fairfax, Virginia. In January 2009, the Bank organized a second mortgage subsidiary, Cardinal First Mortgage, LLC (“Cardinal First”) also based in Fairfax, Virginia.  The Bank has a trust division, Cardinal Trust and Investment Services.  In addition to the Bank, the Company has two nonbank subsidiaries; Wilson/Bennett Capital Management, Inc. (“Wilson/Bennett”), an asset management firm, and Cardinal Wealth Services, Inc. (“CWS”), an investment services subsidiary.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Regulation S-X, Article 10. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2010. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes to financial statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

Note 2

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

At June 30, 2010, the Company had two stock-based employee compensation plans, the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) and the 2002 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Equity Plan”).

 

In 1998, the Company adopted the Option Plan pursuant to which the Company may grant stock options for up to 625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees and members of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ boards of directors. As of November 23, 2008, the Option Plan expired, and therefore, there are no shares of common stock available to grant under this plan.

 

In 2002, the Company adopted the Equity Plan. The Equity Plan authorizes the granting of options, which may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, phantom stock awards and performance share awards to directors, eligible officers and key employees of the Company.  The Equity Plan currently authorizes grants and awards with respect to 2,420,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  There were 402,168 shares of the Company’s common stock available for future grants and awards in the Equity Plan as of June 30, 2010.

Table of Contents

 

Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the common stock’s fair market value at the date of grant. Director stock options have ten year terms and vest and become fully exercisable at the grant date. Certain employee stock options have ten year terms and vest and become fully exercisable after three years.  Other employee stock options have ten year terms and vest and become fully exercisable in 20% increments beginning as of the grant date.  In addition, the Company has granted stock options to employees of the Company that have ten year terms and vest and become fully exercisable in 20% increments beginning after their first year of service.

 

The Company has only made awards of stock options under the Option Plan and the Equity Plan.

 

Total expense related to the Company’s share-based compensation plans for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $331,000 and $162,000, respectively. Total stock compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $391,000 and $228,000, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements was $104,000 and $55,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation was $123,000 and $78,000, respectively.

 

Options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 were 57,000 and 62,000, respectively. Options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were 52,500 and 120,650, respectively.  The weighted average per share fair value of stock option grants during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $5.19 and $5.10 respectively. The weighted average per share fair value of stock option grants during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $3.38 and $2.80 respectively.  The fair values of the options granted during all periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:

Expected volatility is based upon the average annual historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The estimated option life is derived from the “simplified method” formula as described in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. The risk free interest rate is based upon the seven-year U.S. Treasury note rate in effect at the time of grant.  The expected dividend yield is based upon implied and historical dividend declarations.

 

Stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2010 is summarized as follows:

Weighted average shares for basic earnings per share is increased by the number of shares required to be issued under the Company’s various deferred compensation plans.  These plans provide for a Company match, such match must be in the common stock of the Company.  Employees who participate in the Company’s deferred compensation plans can allocate, at their discretion, their contributions to various investment options, including an option to invest in Company Common Stock.  The incremental weighted average shares attributable to the deferred compensation plans included in diluted outstanding shares assumes the participants opt to invest all of their contributions into the Company’s Common Stock investment option.

The Company completes reviews for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly.  As of June 30, 2010, the majority of the investment securities portfolio consisted of securities rated AAA by a leading rating agency.  Investment securities which carry a AAA rating are judged to be of the best quality and carry the smallest degree of investment risk.  At June 30, 2010, 96% of the Company’s mortgage-related securities are guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA).

 

The Company has $8.5 million in non-government non-agency mortgage-related securities.  These securities are rated from AAA to AA.  The various protective elements on the non agency securities may change in the future if market conditions or the financial stability of credit insurers changes, which could impact the ratings of these securities.

 

At June 30, 2010, certain of the Company’s investment grade securities were in an unrealized loss position.  Investment securities with unrealized losses are a result of pricing changes due to recent and negative conditions in the current market environment and not as a result of permanent credit impairment.  Contractual cash flows for the agency mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed and/or funded by the U.S. government.  Other mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities have third party protective elements and there are no negative indications that the contractual cash flows will not be received when due.  The Company does not intend to sell nor does the Company believe it is probable that it will be required sell any of these temporarily impaired securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost.

 

The held-to-maturity portfolio includes investments in four pooled trust preferred securities, totaling $8.0 million of par value at June 30, 2010 (each security has a par value of $2.0 million).  These securities are presented as corporate bonds in the above table.  The collateral underlying these structured securities are instruments issued by financial institutions or insurers.  The

 

16



Table of Contents

 

Company owns the A-3 tranches in each issuance.  Each of the bonds is rated by more than one rating agency.  Two of the securities have a composite rating of AA, one of the securities has a composite rating of BB and the other security has a composite rating of B.  There is minimal observable trading activity for these types of securities.  The Company has estimated the fair value of the securities through the use of internal calculations and through information provided by external pricing services.  Given the level of subordination below the A-3 tranches, and the actual and expected performance of the underlying collateral, the Company expects to receive all contractual interest and principal payments recovering the amortized cost basis of each of the four securities, and concluded that these securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company does not intend to sell nor does the Company believe it is probable that it will be required to sell these corporate bonds prior to the recovery of its investment.

 

In one of the pooled trust preferred securities issues, 40% of the principal balance is subordinate to our class of ownership, and it is estimated that a break in contractual cash flow would occur if 48% of the performing collateral defaulted or deferred payment.  In another of the pooled trust preferred securities issues, 39% of the principal balance is subordinate to our class of ownership, and it is estimated that a break in contractual cash flow would occur if 31% of the performing collateral defaulted or deferred payment.  In the third of the pooled trust preferred securities issues, 66% of the principal balance is subordinate to our class of ownership, and it is estimated that a break in contractual cash flow would occur if 84% of the performing collateral defaulted or deferred payment.  In the fourth of the pooled trust preferred securities issues, 50% of the principal balance is subordinate to our class of ownership, and it is estimated that a break in contractual cash flow would occur if 73% of the performing collateral defaulted to deferred payment.

 

No other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized on the securities in the Company’s investment portfolio for the three and six month ended June 30, 2010, and the Company does not continue to hold any investment securities for which the Company previously recognized other than temporary impairment.

The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $21.1 million and $18.6 million, respectively. Allowance for loan losses ratio to loans receivable, net was 1.58% and 1.44% at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, were $4.6 million and $847,000, respectively. The increase in nonaccrual loans was a result of one commercial loan which had previously been impaired, having deteriorated further due to a discrete event in 2010.

 

During 2010, the Company charged off residential loans totaling $1.3 million.  In addition, consumer loans totaling $48,000 have been charged-off during 2010.  The Company recorded charge-offs on three previously impaired commercial loans to one borrower totaling $1.4 million during 2010. 

 

During 2009, the Company charged off three residential loans held at George Mason totaling $454,000 and four residential loans at the Bank totaling $601,000.  In addition, installment loans at the Bank totaling $3,000 were charged off during 2009.  The Bank recorded a partial charge off of a commercial loan totaling $15,000 during the second quarter of 2009.

 

Note 7

 

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

The Company enters into rate lock commitments with its mortgage customers.  The Company is also a party to forward mortgage loan sales contracts to sell loans servicing released.  The rate lock commitment and forward sale agreement are undesignated derivatives and marked to fair value through earnings.  On the date the mortgage loan closes, the loan held for sale is designated as the hedged item in a cash flow hedge relationship and the forward loan sale is designated as the hedging instrument.

 

At June 30, 2010, accumulated other comprehensive income included an unrealized loss, net of tax, of $181,000 related to forward loan sales contracts designated as the hedging instrument in the cash flow hedge. Loans held for sale are generally sold within sixty days of closing and, therefore, substantially all of the amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income at June 30, 2010 that is related to the Company’s cash flow hedges will be recognized in earnings during the third quarter of 2010.

 

At June 30, 2010, the Company had $135.6 million in residential mortgage rate lock commitments and associated forward sales and $246.0 million in forward loan sales associated with $269.5 million of loans that had closed and presented as held for sale.

The Company has interest rate swaps to mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk.  These interest rate swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $10.0 million to hedge against changes in cash flows caused by movement in interest rates related to the Company’s issuance of $20.0 million in trust preferred securities.  In addition, the Company has an interest rate swap to mitigate the variability in the fair value for one loan receivable.  At June 30, 2010, accumulated other comprehensive income included an after-tax unrealized loss of $185,000 related to these interest rate swaps.

Goodwill of each of the Company’s business segments is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances warrant.

 

For the period ended June 30, 2010, the Company performed its annual review of goodwill at Wilson/Bennett, a reporting unit within its Wealth Management and Trust Services segment, and recognized an impairment charge of $451,000. The analysis included the use of the expected present value technique.  This technique uses the probability-weighted average of expected cash flows.  The cash flow assumptions have been determined based upon recent and expected experience in growth or declines of assets under management,

Table of Contents

 

recent expense trends and recent valuations of other asset management firms and the costs associated with executing our business plan.  These cash flows are then discounted at a risk free rate that is adjusted by a risk premium as represented by the beta of a portfolio of other publically traded asset management firms. Also, in 2006, the Company recorded impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets of $2.96 million associated with this reporting unit.

 

Historically, Wilson/Bennett and Cardinal Trust and Investments have been separate reporting units within the Wealth Management and Trust Services business segment.  Both of these units manage financial assets for institutional clients and for upper middle class to wealthy individuals.  The Company now uses one “wealth management” sales team to present financial products to prospects and also to service our existing clients.  The “back office” for each of these components is performed by the same administrative staff, and there is one member of management that oversees the combined sales effort and manages the operations.  Prospectively and beginning in the third quarter of 2010, the Wilson/Bennett and Cardinal Trust and Investments reporting units will be combined into a single reporting unit and future evaluations of the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets will be based on the combined cash flows of these businesses.

 

Note 10

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments usually have fixed expiration dates up to one year or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  These instruments represent obligations of the Company to extend credit or guarantee borrowings and are not recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition.  The rates and terms of these instruments are competitive with others in the market in which the Company operates.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of the contractual obligations by a customer to a third party.  The majority of these guarantees extend until satisfactory completion of the customer’s contractual obligations.  All standby letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2010 are collateralized.

 

The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.  The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis and requires collateral to support financial instruments when deemed necessary.  The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of credit is based upon management’s evaluation of the counterparty.  Collateral held varies but may include deposits held by the Company, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

 

Commitments to extend credit of $137.4 million as of June 30, 2010 are related to George Mason’s mortgage loan funding commitments and are of a short term nature.  Commitments to extend credit totaling $390.2 million primarily have floating rates as of June 30, 2010.  At June 30, 2010, standby letters of credit were $15.8 million.

 

These off-balance sheet financial instruments may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of

financial condition.  Credit risk is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because the other parties to a financial instrument fail to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract.  The Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss under standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. It is uncertain as to the amounts that we will be required to fund on these commitments as many such arrangements expire with no amounts drawn.

 

George Mason provides for its estimated exposure to repurchase loans previously sold to investors for which borrowers failed to provide full and accurate information on their loan application or for which appraisals have not been acceptable or where the loan was not underwritten in accordance with the loan program specified by the loan investor, and for other exposure to its investors related to loan sales activities.  At June 30, 2010, this reserve had a balance of $1.3 million.  The Company evaluates the merits of each claim and estimates its reserve based on actual and expected claims received and considers the historical amounts paid to settle such claims.

 

In addition, George Mason, as part of the service it provides to its managed companies, purchases the loans originated by the managed companies at the time of origination.  These loans are then sold by George Mason to investors.  George Mason has agreements with its managed companies requiring that, for any loans that were originated by a managed company and for which investors have requested George Mason to repurchase due to the borrowers’ failure to provide full and accurate information on or related to their loan application or for which appraisals have not been acceptable or when the loan was not underwritten in accordance with the loan program these loans from investors specified by the loan investor, the managed company be responsible for buying back the loan.  In the event that the managed company’s financial condition deteriorates and it is unable to fund the repurchase of such loans, George Mason may have to provide the funds to repurchase these loans from investors.  In this instance, George Mason would establish an allowance on the receivable from the managed company.  There is no such allowance recorded at June 30, 2010 as management fully recovered all amounts owed by managed companies as of June 30, 2010.

 

The Company has derivative counter-party risk that may arise from the possible inability of George Mason’s third party investors to meet the terms of their forward sales contracts.  George Mason works with third-party investors that are generally well-capitalized, are investment grade and exhibit strong financial performance to mitigate this risk.  The Company does not expect any third-party investor to fail to meet its obligation.  In addition, the Company has derivative counterparty risk relating to certain interest rate swaps it has with third parties.  This risk may arise from the inability of the third party to meet the terms of the contracts.  The Company monitors the financial condition of these third parties on an annual basis.  The Company does not expect any of these third parties to fail to meet its obligations.

 

Note 11

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value framework under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  It also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use

 

26



Table of Contents

 

of unobservable inputs when measuring the fair value.  There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date.

 

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

 

Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

 

All classes of the Company’s investment securities available-for-sale with the exception of its treasury securities, the Company’s trading investment securities, which include cash equivalents and mutual funds, and bank-owned life insurance, are recorded at fair value using reliable and unbiased evaluations by an industry-wide valuation service and therefore fall into the Level 2 category.  This service uses evaluated pricing models that vary based on 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.  The Company’s treasury securities are recorded at fair value using unadjusted quoted market prices for identical securities and therefore fall under the Level 1 category.

 

The Company has an interest rate swap to hedge against the change in fair value of one fixed rate commercial loan.  This loan is recorded at fair value using published yield curve rates from a national valuation service.  These observable rates and inputs are applied to a third party industry-wide valuation model, and therefore, the valuations fall into a Level 2 category.  Commercial and residential loans are evaluated for impairment and the carrying value of such loans is recorded at fair value based on appraisals of the underlying collateral completed by third parties using Level 2 valuation inputs.

 

The Company’s interest rate swap derivatives in fair value and cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value using published yield curve rates from a national valuation service.  These observable rates and inputs are applied to a third party industry-wide valuation model, and therefore, the valuations fall into a Level 2 category.

 

The Company records its interest rate lock commitments and forward loan sales commitments at fair value determined as the amount that would be required to settle each of these derivative financial instruments at the balance sheet date.  In the normal course of business, George Mason and Cardinal First (collectively, the “mortgage companies”) enter into contractual interest rate lock commitments to extend credit to borrowers with fixed expiration dates.  The commitments become effective when the borrowers “lock-in” a specified interest rate within the time frames established by the mortgage companies.  All borrowers are evaluated for credit worthiness prior to the extension of the commitment.  Market risk arises if interest rates move adversely between the time of the interest rate lock by the borrower and the sale date of the loan to an investor.  To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, the mortgage companies enter into best efforts forward sales contracts to sell loans to investors.  The forward sales contracts lock in an interest rate and price for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments.  Both the rate lock commitments to the borrowers and the forward sales contracts to investors through to the date the loan closes are undesignated derivatives and accordingly, are marked to fair value through earnings.  These valuations fall into a Level 2 category.

Table of Contents

 

There were no significant transfers into and out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.  Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of each reporting period.  The valuation technique used for fair value measurements using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) is the market approach for each class of assets and liabilities.

The Company’s nonaccrual loans are measured at the present value of its expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s coupon rate, or at the loan’s observable market price or fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  The Company measures the collateral value on impaired loans by obtaining an updated appraisal of the underlying collateral and may discount further the appraised value, if necessary, to an amount equal to the expected cash proceeds in the event the loan is foreclosed upon and the collateral is sold.  In addition, an estimate of costs to sell the collateral is assumed.  The Company values other real estate owned by obtaining an updated appraisal of the property foreclosed upon, and discounts further the appraised value to an amount equal to the expected cash proceeds upon the sale of the property.  Both nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned are valued using adjusted market quotes and therefore fall into the Level 2 category.

 

Although management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique.  Because of the wide range of valuation techniques and the numerous estimates and assumptions which must be made, it may be difficult to make reasonable comparisons between the Company’s fair value information and that of other banking institutions.  It is important that the many uncertainties be considered when using the estimated fair value disclosures and that, because of these uncertainties, the aggregate fair value amount should not be construed as representative of the underlying value of the Company

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The assumptions used and the estimates disclosed represent management’s best judgment of appropriate valuation methods for estimating the fair value of financial instruments.  These estimates are based on pertinent information available to management at the valuation date.  In certain cases, fair values are not subject to precise quantification or verification and may change as economic and market factors and management’s evaluation of those factors change.

 

The following summarizes the significant methodologies and assumptions used in estimating the fair values presented in the following table, and not disclosed elsewhere in this footnote.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is used as a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Investment Securities Held-to-Maturity and Other Investments

 

Fair values for investment securities held-to-maturity are based on quoted market prices or prices quoted for similar financial instruments.

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value.  The estimated fair value is based upon the related purchase price commitments from secondary market investors.

 

Loans Receivable, Net

 

In order to determine the fair market value for loans receivable, the loan portfolio was segmented based on loan type, credit quality and maturities.  For certain variable rate loans with no significant credit concerns and frequent repricings, estimated fair values are based on current carrying amounts.  The fair values of other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, at interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of

 

31



Table of Contents

 

similar credit quality.  This method of estimating fair value does not incorporate the exit-price concept of fair value which is appropriate for this disclosure.

 

Deposits

 

The fair values for demand deposits are equal to the carrying amount since they are payable on demand at the reporting date.  The carrying amounts of variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit (CDs) approximate their fair value at the reporting date.  Fair values for fixed-rate CDs are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on CDs to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

 

Other Borrowed Funds

 

The fair value of other borrowed funds is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently available for loans with similar terms.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable

 

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

 

The following summarizes the carrying amount of these financial assets and liabilities that the Company has not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following presents management’s discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and the unaudited results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

Caution About Forward-Looking Statements

 

We make certain forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q that are subject to risks and uncertainties.  These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our profitability, liquidity, allowance for loan losses, interest rate sensitivity, market risk, growth strategy, and financial and other goals.  The words “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or other similar words or terms are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties because they are based upon or are affected by factors including:

 

·                  the risks of changes in interest rates on levels, composition and costs of deposits, loan demand, and the values and liquidity of loan collateral, securities, and interest sensitive assets and liabilities;

·                  changes in assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for possible loan losses, reserves for repurchases of mortgage loans sold and other estimates;

·                  changes in market conditions, specifically declines in the residential and commercial real estate market, volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, soundness of other financial institutions we do business with;

·                  risks inherent in making loans such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values;

·                  declines in the prices of assets and market illiquidity may cause us to record an other-than-temporary impairment or other lossses, specifically in our pooled trust preferred securities portfolio resulting from increases in underlying issuers’ defaulting or deferring payments.

·                  changes in operations of Wilson/Bennett Capital Management, Inc., its customer base and assets under management and any associated impact on the fair value of goodwill in the future;

·                  changes in operations of George Mason Mortgage, LLC as a result of the activity in the residential real estate market and any associated impact on the fair value of goodwill in the future;

·                  exposure to repurchase loans sold to investors for which borrowers failed to provide full and accurate information on or related to their loan application or for which appraisals have not been acceptable or when the loan was not underwritten in accordance with the loan program specified by the loan investor;

·                  maintaining cost controls and asset quality as we open or acquire new branches;

·                  maintaining capital levels adequate to support our growth;

·                  reliance on our management team, including our ability to attract and retain key personnel;

·                  competition with other banks and financial institutions, and companies outside of the banking industry, including those companies that have substantially greater access to capital and other resources;

·                  risks and uncertainties related to future trust operations;

·                  demand, development and acceptance of new products and services;

·                  problems with technology utilized by us;

·                  changing trends in customer profiles and behavior; and

·                  other factors described from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC.

 

Because of these uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.  In addition, our past results of operations do not necessarily indicate our future results.

 

In addition, this section should be read in conjunction with the description of our “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

Overview

 

We are a financial holding company formed in 1997 and headquartered in Fairfax County, Virginia.  We were formed principally in response to opportunities resulting from the consolidation of several Virginia-based banks.  These bank consolidations were typically accompanied by the dissolution of local boards of directors and relocation or termination of management and customer service professionals and a general deterioration of personalized customer service.

 

We own Cardinal Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia state-chartered community bank with 26 banking offices located in Northern Virginia and the greater Washington D.C. metropolitan area.  The Bank offers a wide range of traditional bank loan and deposit products and services to both our commercial and retail customers.  Our commercial relationship managers focus on attracting small and medium sized businesses as well as government contractors, commercial real estate developers and builders and professionals, such as physicians, accountants and attorneys.

 

Additionally, we complement our core banking operations by offering a wide range of services through our various subsidiaries, including mortgage banking through George Mason Mortgage, LLC (“George Mason”) and Cardinal First Mortgage, LLC, (“Cardinal First”),

Table of Contents

 

collectively the “mortgage banking segment,” retail securities brokerage through Cardinal Wealth Services, Inc. (“CWS”), asset management through Wilson/Bennett Capital Management, Inc. (“Wilson/Bennett”), and trust, estate, custody, investment management and retirement planning through the trust division of Cardinal Bank.

 

Net interest income is our primary source of revenue. We define revenue as net interest income plus noninterest income. As discussed further in the interest rate sensitivity section, we manage our balance sheet and interest rate risk exposure to maximize, and concurrently stabilize, net interest income. We do this by monitoring our liquidity position and the spread between the interest rates earned on interest-earning assets and the interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. We attempt to minimize our exposure to interest rate risk, but are unable to eliminate it entirely.  In addition to management of interest rate risk, we analyze our loan portfolio for exposure to credit risk. Loan defaults and foreclosures are inherent risks in the banking industry, and we attempt to limit our exposure to these risks by carefully underwriting and then monitoring our extensions of credit. In addition to net interest income, noninterest income is an important source of revenue for us and includes, among other things, service charges on deposits and loans, investment fee income, which includes trust revenues, gains and losses on sales of investment securities available-for-sale, gains on sales of mortgage loans, and management fee income.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

General

 

U. S. generally accepted accounting principles are complex and require management to apply significant judgment to various accounting, reporting, and disclosure matters.  Management must use assumptions, judgments and estimates when applying these principles where precise measurements are not possible or practical.  These policies are critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates.  Changes in such judgments, assumptions and estimates may have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.  Actual results, in fact, could differ from initial estimates.

 

The accounting policies we view as critical are those relating to judgments, assumptions and estimates regarding the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the fair value measurements of certain assets and liabilities, accounting for economic hedging activities, accounting for impairment testing of goodwill, accounting for the impairment of amortizing intangible assets and other long-lived assets, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

We maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that represents management’s best estimate of known and inherent losses in our loan portfolio.  Both the amount of the provision expense and the level of the allowance for loan losses are impacted by many factors, including general and industry-specific economic conditions, actual and expected credit losses, historical trends and specific conditions of individual borrowers.  Unusual and infrequently occurring events, such as weather-related disasters, may impact our assessment of possible credit losses.  As a part of our analysis, we use comparative peer group data and qualitative factors such as levels of and trends in delinquencies and nonaccrual loans, national and local economic trends and conditions and concentrations of loans exhibiting similar risk profiles to support our estimates.

 

For purposes of our analysis, we categorize our loans into one of five categories:  commercial and industrial, commercial real estate (including construction), home equity lines of

 

36



Table of Contents

 

credit, residential mortgages, and consumer loans. In the absence of meaningful historical loss factors, peer group loss factors are applied and are adjusted by the qualitative factors mentioned above. The indicated loss factors resulting from this analysis are applied for each of the five categories of loans. In addition, we individually assign loss factors to all loans that have been identified as having loss attributes, as indicated by deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or a decline in underlying collateral value if the loan is collateral dependent. Since we have limited historical data on which to base loss factors for classified loans, we typically apply, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, a 5% loss factor to loans classified as special mention, a 15% loss factor to loans classified as substandard and a 50% loss factor to loans classified as doubtful. Loans classified as loss loans are fully reserved or charged off.   In certain instances, we evaluate the impairment of certain loans on a loan by loan basis.  For these loans, we analyze the fair value of the collateral underlying the loan and consider estimated costs to sell the collateral.  If the net collateral value is less than the loan balance (including accrued interest and any unamortized premium or discount associated with the loan) we recognize an impairment and establish a specific reserve for the impaired loan.

 

Credit losses are an inherent part of our business and, although we believe the methodologies for determining the allowance for loan losses and the current level of the allowance are adequate, it is possible that there may be unidentified losses in the portfolio at any particular time that may become evident at a future date pursuant to additional internal analysis or regulatory comment. Additional provisions for such losses, if necessary, would be recorded in the commercial banking or mortgage banking segments, as appropriate, and would negatively impact earnings.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

We determine the fair values of financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.  Our investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value using reliable and unbiased evaluations by an industry-wide valuation service.  This service uses evaluated pricing models that vary based on 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.  For certain of our held-to-maturity investment securities where there is minimal observable trading activity, we use a discounted cash flow approach to estimate fair value based on internal calculations and compare our results to information provided by external pricing sources.  Our interest rate swap derivatives are recorded at fair value using observable inputs from a national valuation service.  These inputs are applied to a third party industry-wide valuation model.

 

We also fair value our interest rate lock commitments and forward loan sales commitments.  The fair value of our interest rate lock commitments considers the expected premium (discount) to par and we apply certain fallout rates for those rate lock commitments for which we do not close a mortgage loan.  In addition, we calculate the effects of the changes in interest rates from the date of the commitment through loan origination, and then period end, using applicable published mortgage-backed investment security prices.  The fair value of the forward sales contracts to investors considers the market price movement of the same type of security between the trade date and the balance sheet date.  At loan closing, the fair value of the interest rate lock commitment is included in the cost basis of loans held for sale, which are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

 

37



Table of Contents

 

Accounting for Economic Hedging Activities

 

We record all derivative instruments on the statement of condition at their fair values. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. For derivatives designated as hedges, we contemporaneously document the hedging relationship, including the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, how effectiveness will be assessed at inception and at each reporting period and the method for measuring ineffectiveness.  We evaluate the effectiveness of these transactions at inception and on an ongoing basis.  Ineffectiveness is recorded through earnings.  For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the fair value adjustment is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, except for the ineffective portion which is recorded in earnings.  For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the fair value adjustments for both the hedged item and the hedging instrument are recorded through the income statement with any difference considered the ineffective portion of the hedge.

 

We discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when it is determined that the derivative is no longer highly effective. In situations in which cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued, we continue to carry the derivative at its fair value on the statement of condition and recognize any subsequent changes in fair value in earnings over the term of the forecasted transaction. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, we recognize immediately in earnings any gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income.

 

In the normal course of business, we enter into contractual commitments, including rate lock commitments, to finance residential mortgage loans. These commitments, which contain fixed expiration dates, offer the borrower an interest rate guarantee provided the loan meets underwriting guidelines and closes within the time frame established by us. Interest rate risk arises on these commitments and subsequently closed loans if interest rates change between the time of the interest rate lock and the delivery of the loan to the investor. Loan commitments related to residential mortgage loans intended to be sold are considered derivatives and are marked to market through earnings.

 

To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments, we economically hedge our commitments by entering into best efforts delivery forward loan sales contracts. During the rate lock commitment period, these forward loan sales contracts are marked to market through earnings and are not designated as accounting hedges. The fair values of loan commitments and the fair values of forward loan sales contracts generally move in opposite directions, and the net impact of changes in these valuations on net income during the loan commitment period is generally inconsequential. At the closing of the loan, the loan commitment derivative expires and we record a loan held for sale and continue to be obligated under the same forward loan sales contract.   The forward sales contract is then designated as a hedge against the variability in cash to be received from the loan sale.  Loans held for sale are accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value.

 

Accounting for Impairment Testing of Goodwill

 

To test goodwill for impairment, we perform an analysis to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the carrying value of the reporting unit. We make estimates of the discounted cash flows from the expected future operations of the reporting

 

38



Table of Contents

 

unit. This discounted cash flow analysis involves the use of unobservable inputs including:  estimated future cash flows from operations; an estimate of a terminal value; a discount rate; and other inputs.  Our estimated future cash flows are largely based on our historical actual cash flows.  If the analysis indicates that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we do an analysis to compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The implied fair value of the goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all its assets and liabilities. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized.

 

Accounting for the Impairment of Amortizing Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets

 

We continually review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the remaining estimated useful life of such assets might warrant revision or that the balances may not be recoverable. We evaluate possible impairment by comparing estimated future cash flows, before interest expense and on an undiscounted basis, with the net book value of long-term assets, including amortizable intangible assets. If undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover assets, further analysis is performed in order to determine the amount of the impairment.

 

An impairment loss is then recorded for the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair values. Fair value is usually determined based on the present value of estimated expected future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved.

 

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

 

We record a provision for income tax expense based on the amounts of current taxes payable or refundable and the change in net deferred tax assets or liabilities during the year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of differing carrying values of assets and liabilities for tax and financial statement purposes that will reverse in future periods. When substantial uncertainty exists concerning the recoverability of a deferred tax asset, the carrying value of the asset is reduced by a valuation allowance. The amount of any valuation allowance established is based upon an estimate of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be recovered. Increases or decreases in the valuation allowance result in increases or decreases to the provision for income taxes.

 

New Financial Accounting Standards

 

In January 2010, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.  It eliminates the QSPE concept, creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale, clarifies the derecognition criteria, revises how retained interests are initially measured, and removes the guaranteed mortgage securitization recharacterization provisions.  This statement requires additional year-end and interim disclosures for public companies.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 

In January 2010, we adopted ASU 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.  This ASU amends the guidance on variable interest entities (“VIE”) in ASC Topic 810 related to the consolidation of variable interest entities.  It requires reporting entities to evaluate former QSPEs for consolidation, changes the approach to determining a VIE’s primary beneficiary from a

 

39



Table of Contents

 

quantitative assessment to a qualitative assessment designed to identify a controlling financial interest, and increases the frequency of required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.  It also clarifies, but does not significantly change, the characteristics that identify a VIE.  This statement requires additional year-end and interim disclosures for public companies.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 

In January 2010, we adopted ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which requires disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements.  This standard also clarifies existing fair value measurement disclosure guidance about the level of disaggregation, inputs, and valuation techniques.

 

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, so that SEC filers, as defined in the ASU, no longer are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.  This guidance significantly expands required disclosures for the allowance for loan losses and the credit quality of financing receivables.  The disclosures will provide information about the nature of credit risks inherent in entities’ financing receivables, how credit risk is analyzed and assessed when determining the allowance for loan losses, and the reasons for the change in the allowance for loan losses.  Public entities will need to begin providing disclosures for all periods ending on or after December 15, 2010, and we will provide the required disclosures in our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2010.

 

2010 Economic Environment

 

Our credit quality remains strong despite the challenging economic environment.  At June 30, 2010, we have non-accrual loans totaling $4.6 million and no loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest.  Annualized net charge-offs were 0.42% of our average loans receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Loan originations from our mortgage banking segment have decreased compared to the first six months of 2009, even though the first-time home buyers credit was extended to April 30, 2010.  However, net income from our mortgage banking segment increased to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to net income of $1.4 million for the same period of 2009.  The increase in net income is a result of expense containment we implemented during 2009 and into 2010.

 

Financial market disturbances over the past two years continue to impact our results. Market illiquidity continues to impact certain portions of our investment securities portfolio, specifically the ratings of certain corporate bonds in our portfolio. We hold investments of $8.0 million in par value of pooled trust preferred securities,

 

40



Table of Contents

 

which are significantly below book value as of June 30, 2010 due to the lack of liquidity in the market and investor apprehension for investing in these types of investments.

 

We expect very challenging economic and operating conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. These conditions could continue to affect the markets in which we do business and could adversely impact our results for the remainder of 2010. The degree of the impact is dependent upon the duration and severity of the aforementioned conditions.

 

While our loan growth has continued to be strong, continued negative economic conditions could adversely affect our loan portfolio, including causing increases in delinquencies and default rates, which we expect could impact our charge-offs and provision for loan losses.  Deterioration in real estate values and household incomes could result in higher credit losses for us.  Also, in the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to a concentration of credit risk to a particular industry, counterparty, borrower or issuer.  A deterioration in the financial condition or prospects of a particular industry or a failure or downgrade of, or default by, any particular entity or group of entities could negatively impact our businesses, perhaps materially. The systems by which we set limits and monitor the level of our credit exposure to individual entities and industries also may not function as we have anticipated.

 

Liquidity is essential to our business.  The primary sources of funding for our Bank include customer deposits and wholesale funding.  Our liquidity could be impaired by an inability to access the capital markets or by unforeseen outflows of cash, including deposits.  This situation may arise due to circumstances that we may be unable to control, such as general market disruption, negative views about the financial services industry generally, or an operational problem that affects a third party or us.  Our ability to borrow from other financial institutions on favorable terms or at all could be adversely affected by further disruptions in the capital markets or other events.  While we believe we have a healthy liquidity position, any of the above factors could materially impact our liquidity position in the future.

 

The U.S. government continues to enact legislation and develop various programs and initiatives designed to stabilize the housing markets and stimulate the economy. In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. We are unsure of the impact this Act will have on our business, operations or our financial condition.

 

Statements of Income

 

General

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we reported net income of $4.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively.  Net interest income after the provision for loan losses increased $4.0 million to $14.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  Despite an increase in our provision for loan losses, the increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses was due to an increase in our net interest income of $5.2 million to $17.1 million for the three months ended

June 30, 2010.  Provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.7 million, an increase of $1.2 million, compared to $1.5 million for the same period of 2009.  Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $6.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively, an increase of $596,000.  Realized and unrealized gains on mortgage banking activities increased $338,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.  In addition, income from managed companies increased $461,000 to $844,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $383,000 for the same three month period of 2009.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010, noninterest expense increased to $14.2 million, compared to $13.7 million for the same period of 2009.  The increase in noninterest expense is attributable to increases in salary and benefits expense as we have added personnel in our wealth management and mortgage banking operations.

General —Business Segments

 

We operate in three business segments: commercial banking, mortgage banking, and wealth management and trust services.  Net income attributable to the commercial banking segment for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $3.6 million compared to net income of

$1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  Net interest income increased $5.3 million to $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $11.4 million for the same period of 2009.  Provision for loan losses increased $1.3 million to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.4 million for the same period of 2009.  The increase in provision expense is related to current economic and market conditions and an increase in loan charge-offs during 2010.  Noninterest income increased to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $820,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  During the second quarter of 2010, gains of $269,000 were recorded on sales of investment securities available-for-sale, compared to none for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  Noninterest expense was $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $9.2 million for the same period of 2009.  The increase in noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009 is primarily due to expenses related to our core system conversion, branch expansion and additions to our staffing levels at the Bank.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net income attributable to the commercial banking segment was $7.3 million, and increase of $4.4 million, from $2.9 million for the same six month period of 2009.  The increase in net income is attributable to the increase in our net interest income for the periods presented.  Net interest income increased $10.2 million to $31.7 million for the six month ended June 30, 2010, compared to $21.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Provision for loan losses increased $2.5 million to $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, again as a result of the current economic and market conditions and these impacts on our borrowers.  Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively.  Noninterest expense increased to $18.0 million from $17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009.

 

The mortgage banking segment reported net income of $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a net income of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily attributable to certain cost containment initiatives implemented during 2009.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net income was $2.5 million, a decrease of $262,000 as compared to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

 

The wealth management and trust services segment, which includes CWS, Wilson/Bennett and the trust division of the Bank, recorded a net loss of $220,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to net income of $66,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, this business segment recorded a net loss of $91,000 compared to net income of $76,000 for the same period of 2009.  The decrease in net income during 2010 is primarily attributable to our recording an impairment charge of $451,000 as a result of our annual impairment assessment related to the Wilson/Bennett goodwill.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income is our primary source of revenue, representing the difference between interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. The level of net interest income is impacted primarily by variations in the volume and mix of these assets and liabilities, as well as changes in interest rates.  Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $17.1 million and $12.0 million, respectively, a period-to-period increase of $5.2 million, or 43%. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our net interest income was $32.4 million, compared to $22.6 million for the same period

of 2009, an increase of $9.8 million, or 43%.  The net yields on our assets increased as a result of our moderately increasing interest-earning assets while lowering the interest rates on our deposit liabilities.

 

Specifically, interest income on loans receivable, increased $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same three month period of 2009.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, interest income on loans receivable increased $4.4 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase in interest income on loans receivable is a result of an increase in the volume of our loans receivable portfolio.  Interest income on loans held for sale decreased $239,000 to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a direct result of a period-to-period decrease in loan originations in our held for sale portfolio.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, interest income from loans held for sale decreased $759,000 to $3.3 million compared to $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

 

Interest income on investment securities, increased $987,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, interest income on investment securities increased $1.6 million.  The increase in interest income on investment securities is directly related to an increase of purchases of investment securities over the past year.

 

Total interest expense has decreased $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, total interest expense decreased $4.6 million as compared to the same six month period of 2009.  The decrease in total interest expense is mostly related to the decreases we have taken in the interest rates we pay on our interest checking and savings deposit accounts.  In addition, our certificates of deposit are repricing at lower interest rates.

 

Our net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, which equals net interest income divided by average interest earning assets, was 3.74% and 2.84% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, net interest margin was 3.56% and 2.73%, respectively.  The increases in our net interest margin are again attributable to our balance sheet management and strategically decreasing the interest rates we pay on our deposit liabilities.  The following tables present an analysis of average earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with related components of interest income and interest expense on a tax equivalent basis.

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $2.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, our provision for loan losses was $5.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively.  The increase in our provision expense during 2010 compared to 2009 is a direct result of increases in non-performing loans and the adverse migration of certain loans through our allowance for loan losses calculation model because of ongoing adverse economic conditions.  While we continue to report strong credit quality in our loan portfolio, we have experienced increases in our watch list credits and net charge-offs.  Our provision expense was also impacted by net new loan growth in addition to our evaluation of the credit quality in our loan portfolio and the qualitative factors we use to determine the adequacy of our loan loss reserves as described above in “Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Loan Losses.”

 

During 2010, we charged off residential loans totaling $1.3 million.  In addition, consumer loans totaling $48,000 have been charged-off during 2010.  We recorded charge-offs on three previously impaired commercial loans to one borrower totaling $1.4 million during 2010.

 

The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $21.1 million and $18.6 million, respectively. Our allowance for loan losses ratio to loans receivable, net was 1.58% and 1.44% at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, were $4.6 million and $847,000, respectively. The increase in our nonaccrual loans was a result of one commercial loan which had previously been impaired, having deteriorated further due to a discrete event in 2010.

 

Continued challenging economic conditions could adversely affect our home equity loans of credit, credit card and other loan portfolios, including causing increases in delinquencies and default rates, which we expect could impact our charge-offs and provision for loan losses.  Continued deterioration in commercial and residential real estate values, employment data and household incomes could result in higher credit losses for us.  Also, in the ordinary course of business, we may also be subject to a concentration of credit risk to a particular industry, counterparty, borrower or issuer.  At June 30, 2010, our commercial real estate portfolio was 47% of our total loan portfolio.  A deterioration in the financial condition or prospects of a particular industry or a failure or downgrade of, or default by, any particular entity or group of entities could negatively impact our businesses, perhaps materially, and the systems by which we set limits and monitor the level of our credit exposure to individual entities and industries, may not function as we have anticipated.

 

Additional information on the allowance for loan losses, its allocation to the loans receivable portfolio and information on nonperforming loans can be found in the following tables.

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income includes service charges on deposits and loans, realized and unrealized gains on mortgage banking activities, investment fee income, management fee income, and gains on sales of investment securities available-for-sale, and continues to be an important factor in our operating results. Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $6.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively.  Realized and unrealized gains on mortgage banking activities by our mortgage banking segment for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $3.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, an increase of $338,000, or 10%.  While our loan origination volume has decreased, the margin we earn on loan sales has significantly increased which has resulted in the increase in our gains.  Included in realized and unrealized gains on mortgage banking activities are any origination, underwriting, and discount points and other funding fees and gains associated with our sales of loans to third party investors.  Costs include direct costs associated with the loan origination, such as commissions and salaries that are deferred at the time of origination.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, realized and unrealized gains on mortgage banking activities were $6.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively.  This decrease is attributable to the decrease in loan origination and sales volume for the year to date 2010 compared to 2009.

 

Management fee income, which represents the income earned for services George Mason provides to other mortgage companies owned by local home builders and generally fluctuates based on the volume of loan sales, increased $461,000 to $844,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $383,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, management fee income was $1.4 million and $714,000, respectively.  This component of our mortgage banking business has seen increases in loan origination and sales volume which contributes to the increase in our management fee income.

 

Loan fees decreased $385,000 to $440,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, loan fees were $812,000 and $1.7 million, respectively, a decrease of $846,000.  The decrease is primarily related to a decrease in loan originations and sales at our mortgage banking segment, specifically at George Mason’s title company.

 

Investment fee income increased $135,000 to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $825,000 for the same period of 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, investment fee income was $2.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively.  The increase in investment fee income is attributable to increases in the market values of managed and custodial assets and an increase in customer relationships in our trust division and Wilson/Bennett.

 

The increase in the cash surrender value of our bank-owned life insurance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $177,000 and $326,000, respectively.  For the same three and six month periods of 2009, income from our bank-owned life insurance was $157,000 and $233,000, respectively.  The increase is directly related to increases in the underlying value of the investments.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded net gains on sales of investment securities available-for-sale of $269,000 and $533,000, respectively.  No gains from sales of investment securities were recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, gains of $552,000 were recorded on sales of investment securities.  We recorded a net realized loss of $87,000 and $31,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, on our trading securities portfolio.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded a net gain of $111,000 and a net loss of $520,000, respectively, on our trading securities portfolio.  The loss recorded during 2009 was a result of our purchase of investments to economically hedge against fair value changes of our nonqualified deferred compensation plan liability.  These investments are designated as trading securities, and as such, the changes in fair value are reflected in earnings.  These trading losses were primarily the result of lower stock prices and were partially offset by a reduction in the period’s compensation expense associated with this benefit plan.

 

Noninterest income represented 29% and 34% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, noninterest income as a percentage of our total revenues was 28% and 35%, respectively.

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense includes, among other things, salaries and benefits, occupancy costs, professional fees, depreciation, data processing, telecommunications and miscellaneous expenses. Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $14.2 million, compared to $13.7 million for the same period of 2009, an increase of $448,000.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, noninterest expense was $27.2 million and $25.7 million, respectively, an increase of $1.4 million, or 6%.

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, salaries and benefits expense increased to $6.7 million up from $6.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The increase in salaries and benefits expense is mostly related to increases in personnel at our wealth management and mortgage banking segments.  Data communications expense increased $407,000 to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $837,000 for the same period of 2009, a result of deconversion costs charged by our existing vendor for our upcoming systems conversion to a new applications vendor which occurred during the second quarter of 2010.  Also contributing to the increase in our noninterest expense for 2010 was an impairment charge of $451,000 related to our annual impairment analysis of the goodwill associated with our Wilson/Bennett reporting unit.  Additional increases in noninterest expense are related to branch expansion as we added a banking office and a mortgage banking office during the 2010 quarter.  FDIC insurance premiums decreased $805,000 to $519,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.3 million for the same period of 2009.  The decrease in the assessment is due to the FDIC’s special assessment which occurred during the second quarter of 2009.  In addition, mortgage loan repurchases and settlement decreased $759,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009 as a result of completing a settlement with a mortgage correspondent during the second quarter of 2010.

 

For the year to date June 30, 2010, salaries and benefits expense increased to $12.9 million up from $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Data communications expense increased $560,000 to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $1.6 million for the same period of 2009.  These increases were attributable to the aforementioned increases in personnel and our core system conversion.  Additional increases in noninterest expense are related to branch expansion as we added a banking office and a mortgage banking office during the 2010 quarter.  FDIC insurance premiums decreased $671,000 to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.7 million for the same period of 2009.  Mortgage loan repurchases and settlement decreased $777,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009.

 

Income Taxes

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.4 million, compared to $883,000 for the same period of 2009.  Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was 34% and 29%, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $4.1 million, compared to $1.8 million for the same period of 2009.  Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was 33% and 30%, respectively.  Our effective rate as of June 30, 2010 increased as compared to our effective rate as of June 30, 2009 because the income we realize on our tax-exempt investments is a smaller portion of our overall net income.  Our effective tax rate is less than the statutory rate because of income we receive from certain tax-exempt investments.  See also “Critical Accounting Policies — Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets.”

 

Statements of Condition

 

Total assets were $2.07 billion and $1.98 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Investment Securities

 

Our investment securities portfolio is used as a source of income and liquidity.  Investment securities were $354.2 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $382.5 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $28.3 million. The investment securities portfolio consists of investment securities available-for-sale, investment securities held-to-maturity and trading securities. Investment securities available-for-sale are those securities that we intend to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily until maturity. These securities are carried at fair value and may be sold as part of an asset/liability strategy, liquidity management or regulatory capital management.  Investment securities held-to-maturity are those securities that we have the intent and ability to hold to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Investment securities-trading are securities we purchase to economically hedge against fair value changes in our nonqualified deferred compensation plan liability.  These securities include cash equivalents, equities and mutual funds.  At June 30, 2010, investment securities available-for-sale were $319.1 million, investment securities held-to-maturity were $30.8 million and investment securities-trading were $4.2 million. At December 31, 2009, investment securities available-for-sale were $343.6 million, investment securities held-to-maturity were $35.2 million, and investment securities-trading were $3.7 million.  See the following table for additional information on our investment securities portfolio.

 

We complete reviews for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly.  As of June 30, 2010, the majority of our investment securities portfolio consisted of securities rated AAA by a leading rating agency.  Investment securities which carry a AAA rating are judged to be of the best quality and carry the smallest degree of investment risk.  At June 30, 2010, 96% of our mortgage-related investment securities portfolio is guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA).

 

We have $8.5 million in non-government non-agency mortgage-related securities.  These securities are rated from AAA to AA.  The various protective elements on the non-agency securities may change in the future if market conditions or the financial stability of credit insurers changes, which could impact the ratings of these securities.

 

At June 30, 2010 certain of our investment grade securities were in an unrealized loss position.  Investment securities with unrealized losses are a result of pricing changes due to recent and negative conditions in the current market environment and not as a result of permanent credit impairment. Contractual cash flows for the agency mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed and/or funded by the U.S. government.  Other mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities have third party protective elements and there are no negative indications that the contractual cash flows will not be received when due. 

 

In addition, our held-to-maturity portfolio includes investments in four pooled trust preferred securities, totaling $8.0 million of par value at June 30, 2010 (each security has a par value of $2.0 million).  These securities are presented as corporate bonds in the table below.  The collateral underlying these structured securities are instruments issued by financial institutions or insurers.  We own the A-3 tranches in each issuance.  Each of the bonds are rated by more than one rating agency.  Two of the securities have a composite rating of AA, one of the securities has a composite rating of BBB and the other security has a composite rating of BB.  These ratings are consistent with the grades from the other rating agencies.  There is minimal observable trading activity for these types of securities.  We have estimated the fair value of these securities through the use of internal calculations and through information provided by external pricing services.  Given the level of subordination below our A-3 tranches, and the actual and expected performance of the underlying collateral, we expect to receive all contractual interest and principal payments recovering the amortized cost basis of each of the four securities, and concluded that these securities are not other-than-temporarily impaired.

 

No other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized on the securities in our investment portfolio during 2010. We do not intend to sell nor do we believe it is probable that we will be required to sell any of our temporarily impaired securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost.

 

We hold $15.7 million in FHLB stock at June 30, 2010, which is included in other investments on the statement of condition.  During 2008, the FHLB of Atlanta announced a change in their dividend declaration and payment schedule beginning during the fourth quarter of 2008.  The change was initiated so that the dividend can be declared and paid to member banks after the FHLB has calculated their net income for the preceding quarter.  During 2009, the FHLB announced changes to its capital stock requirements.  Specifically, the Board of Directors increased the dollar cap on its stock purchases from $25 million to $26 million and repurchases of member excess stock will be evaluated on a quarterly basis instead of a daily basis.  We do not expect the above changes to materially impact our liquidity position.

Deposits

 

Total deposits were $1.35 billion at June 30, 2010 compared to $1.30 billion at December 31, 2009. During 2010, we had increases in our noninterest bearing checking products, interest bearing and money market checking, savings and certificates of deposit. We have had success in attracting deposit balances from customers seeking to deposit their money with smaller, local banks and depositors are increasing balances held with financial institutions as a result of the increased protection of their money by the FDIC.  See the following table for details on certificates of deposit with balances of $100,000 or more. We are a member of the Certificates of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”).   CDARS allows our customers to access FDIC insurance protection on multi-million dollar certificates of deposit through our Bank.  When a customer places a large deposit through CDARS, we place their funds into certificates of deposit with other banks in the CDARS network in increments of less than $250,000 so that principal and interest are eligible for FDIC insurance protection.  At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had $75.4 million and $59.4 million, respectively, in CDARS deposits, which are considered to be brokered deposits.  Brokered certificates of deposit not in the CDARS network were $15.0 million and $28.2 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Shareholders’ Equity

 

Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2010 was $216.6 million compared to $204.5 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $12.1 million, or 6%. The increase in shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 is primarily attributable to net income of $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income increased $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Book value per share at June 30, 2010 was $7.53 compared to $7.12 at December 31, 2009. Tangible book value per share (which is book value per share adjusted for changes in other comprehensive income, less goodwill and other intangible assets) at June 30, 2010 was $6.81 compared to $6.52 at December 31, 2009.

 

Business Segment Operations

 

We provide banking and non-banking financial services and products through our subsidiaries. We operate in three business segments, commercial banking, mortgage banking and wealth management and trust services.

 

Commercial Banking

 

The commercial banking segment includes both commercial and consumer lending and provides customers such products as commercial loans, real estate loans, and other business financing and consumer loans. In addition, this segment also provides customers with various deposit products including demand deposit accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the commercial banking segment recorded net income of $3.6 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period of 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the commercial banking segment recorded net income of $7.3 million compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  See “Statements of IncomeGeneral—Business Segments” above for additional information regarding the operating results for the commercial banking segment for the periods presented.  At June 30, 2010, total assets for this segment were $2.04 billion, loans receivable, net of deferred fees and costs, were $1.33 billion and total deposits were $1.35 billion. At June 30, 2009, total assets were $1.82 billion, loans receivable, net of deferred fees and costs, were $1.20 billion and total deposits were $1.24 billion.

Mortgage Banking

 

The operations of the mortgage banking segment are conducted through George Mason, and Cardinal First. Both George Mason and Cardinal First engage primarily in the origination and acquisition of residential mortgages for sale into the secondary market on a best efforts basis.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the mortgage banking segment recorded net income of $1.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the mortgage banking segment recorded net income of $2.5 million and 2.7 million, respectively.  See “Statements of IncomeGeneral—Business Segments” above for additional information regarding the operating results for the mortgage banking segment for the periods presented.  At June 30, 2010, total assets for this segment were $296.0 million; loans held for sale were $269.5 million and mortgage funding checks were $14.9 million. At June 30, 2009, total assets were $259.7 million; loans held for sale were $232.2 million and mortgage funding checks were $19.0 million.

 

Wealth Management and Trust Services

 

The wealth management and trust services segment provides investment and financial services to businesses and individuals, including financial planning, retirement/estate planning, trusts, estates, custody, investment management, escrows, and retirement plans. Operations of the Bank’s trust division, CWS and Wilson/Bennett are included in this operating segment.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the wealth management and trust services segment recorded a net loss of $220,000 and net income of $66,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the wealth management and trust services segment recorded a net loss of $91,000 and net income of $76,000, respectively.  We recorded an impairment charge of $451,000 in this business segment during the second quarter of 2010 related to the goodwill associated with Wilson/Bennett.  During the second quarter, we reviewed and updated our projections of the growth rate of assets under management and the anticipated costs associated with our continued efforts to grow this business. Following several years of significant growth in assets under management, we expect the rate of growth to decrease somewhat.  Based upon the current cash flows expectations, the resultant valuation did not exceed Wilson/Bennett’s carrying value and See “Statements of IncomeGeneral—Business Segments” above for additional information regarding the operating results for this business segment for the periods presented.  At June 30, 2010, total assets were $3.0 million and managed and custodial assets were $3.2 billion. At June 30, 2009, total assets for this segment were $3.4 million and managed and custodial assets were $2.9 billion.

 

Additional information pertaining to our business segments can be found in Note 3 to the notes to consolidated financial statements.

 

Capital Resources

 

Capital adequacy is an important measure of financial stability and performance. Our objectives are to maintain a level of capitalization that is sufficient to sustain asset growth and promote depositor and investor confidence.

 

Regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy utilizing a formula that takes into account the individual risk profile of the financial institution. The guidelines define capital as both Tier 1 (which includes common shareholders’ equity and certain debt obligations) and Tier 2 (which includes certain other debt obligations, a portion of the allowance for loan losses, and 45% of any unrealized gains in equity securities).

 

At June 30, 2010, our Tier 1 and total (Tier 1 and Tier 2) risk-based capital ratios were 12.75% and 14.01%, respectively. At December 31, 2009, our Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 12.97% and 14.15%, respectively.  Our regulatory capital levels for the Bank and

bank holding company meet those established for well-capitalized institutions.  The decrease in our risk-based capital ratios was primarily a result of the increase in assets on our balance sheet during 2010, partially offset by an increase in shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009.

 

The following table provides additional information pertaining to our capital ratios.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Credit Risk

 

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet.

 

The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

 

We have counter-party risk which may arise from the possible inability of George Mason’s third-party investors to meet the terms of their forward sales contracts. George Mason works with third-party investors that are generally well-capitalized, are investment grade and exhibit strong financial performance to mitigate this risk.  We do not expect any third-party investor to fail to meet its obligation.  In addition, we have derivative counterparty risk relating to certain interest rate swaps we have with third parties.  This risk may arise from the inability of the third party to meet the terms of the contract.  We continuously monitor the financial condition of these third parties.  We do not expect these third parties to fail to meet their obligations.

 

George Mason provides for its estimated exposure to repurchase loans previously sold to investors for which borrowers failed to provide full and accurate information on their loan application or for which appraisals have not been acceptable or when the loan was not underwritten in accordance with the loan program specified by the loan investor, and for other exposures to its investors related to loan sales activities. At June 30, 2010, this reserve had a balance of $1.3 million.  We evaluate the merits of each claim and estimate the reserve based on actual and expected claims received and consider the historical

 

60



Table of Contents

 

amounts paid to settle such claims.  We have taken actions with respect to our investor arrangements in an attempt to limit the number of future claims.

 

In addition, George Mason, as part of the service it provides to its managed companies, purchases the loans originated by managed companies at the time of origination.  These loans are then sold by George Mason to investors.  George Mason has agreements with its managed companies requiring that the managed company fund the repurchase or settle the claim, for any loans that were originated by the managed company and for which investors have requested George Mason to repurchase due to the borrowers failure to provide full and accurate information on or related to their loan application or for which appraisals have not been acceptable or when the loan was not underwritten in accordance with the loan program specified by the loan investor.  In the event that the managed company’s financial condition deteriorates and it is unable to fund the repurchase of such loans, George Mason may have to provide the funds to repurchase these loans from investors.  In this instance, George Mason would establish an allowance on the receivable from the managed company.  There is no such allowance recorded at June 30, 2010 as management fully recovered all amounts owed by managed companies as of that date.

 

During the second quarter of 2008, George Mason entered into an agreement with a mortgage correspondent related to the loan purchase agreement between the two parties.  The agreement provided for the release of known and unknown claims by the mortgage correspondent in exchange for a $1.8 million payment made by George Mason to the correspondent.  The terms of this agreement require that we may be obligated to make additional payments to the correspondent in future periods based on certain conditions.  The amount of the exposure declines with the passage of time.

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements. We evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.  Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

 

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers.  Those lines of credit may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which we have committed.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments we issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. We hold certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, and real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

 

At June 30, 2010, commitments to extend credit were $390.2 million and standby letters of credit were $15.8 million. Commitments to extend credit of $137.4 million as of June 30, 2010 are related to the mortgage banking segment’s mortgage loan funding commitments and are of a short term nature.

Liquidity

 

Liquidity in the banking industry is defined as the ability to meet the demand for funds of both depositors and borrowers. We must be able to meet these needs by obtaining funding from depositors or other lenders or by converting non-cash items into cash.  The objective of our liquidity management program is to ensure that we always have sufficient resources to meet the demands of our depositors and borrowers. Stable core deposits and a strong capital position provide the base for our liquidity position. We believe we have demonstrated our ability to attract deposits because of our convenient branch locations, personal service and pricing.

 

In addition to deposits, we have access to different wholesale funding markets. These markets include the brokered CD market, the repurchase agreement market and the federal funds market. We are a member of the Certificates of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”).  CDARS allows our customers to access FDIC insurance protection on multi-million dollar certificates of deposit through our Bank.  When a customer places a large deposit through CDARS, we place their funds into certificates of deposit with other banks in the CDARS network in increments of less than $250,000 so that principal and interest are eligible for FDIC insurance protection.  We also maintain secured lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Having diverse funding alternatives reduces our reliance on any one source for funding.

 

Cash flow from amortizing assets or maturing assets can also provide funding to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers.

 

We have established a formal liquidity contingency plan which establishes a liquidity management team and provides guidelines for liquidity management. For our liquidity management program, we first determine our current liquidity position and then forecast liquidity based on anticipated changes in the balance sheet. In this forecast, we expect to maintain a liquidity cushion. We also stress test our liquidity position under several different stress scenarios. Guidelines for the forecasted liquidity cushion and for liquidity cushions for each stress scenario have been established. In addition, one stress test combines all other stress tests to see how liquidity would react to several negative scenarios occurring at the same time. We believe that we have sufficient resources to meet our liquidity needs.

 

Liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and investment securities available for sale, totaled $343.8 million at June 30, 2010 or 17% of total assets. We held investments that are classified as held-to-maturity in the amount of $30.8 million at June 30, 2010. To maintain ready access to the Bank’s secured lines of credit, the Bank has pledged roughly half of its investment securities and a portion of its residential real estate loan portfolio to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta with additional investment securities and certain loans in its commercial real estate and commercial & industrial portfolios pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Additional borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta at June 30, 2010 was $14.3 million. Borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond was $378 million at June 30, 2010. These facilities are subject to the FHLB and the Federal Reserve approving disbursement to us.  In addition, we have unsecured federal funds purchased lines of $315 million available to us.  We anticipate maintaining liquidity at a level sufficient to protect depositors, provide for reasonable growth and fully comply with all regulatory requirements.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

We are exposed to various business risks including interest rate risk. Our goal is to maximize net interest income without incurring excessive interest rate risk. Management of net interest income and interest rate risk must be consistent with the level of capital and liquidity that we maintain. We manage interest rate risk through an asset and liability committee (“ALCO”). ALCO is responsible for managing the interest rate risk in conjunction with liquidity and capital management.

 

We employ an independent consulting firm to model our interest rate sensitivity.  We use a net interest income simulation model as our primary tool to measure interest rate sensitivity. Many assumptions are developed based on expected activity in the balance sheet. For maturing assets, assumptions are created for the redeployment of these assets. For maturing liabilities, assumptions are developed for the replacement of these funding sources. Assumptions are also developed for assets and liabilities that could reprice during the modeled time period. These assumptions also cover how we expect rates to change on non-maturity deposits such as interest checking, money market checking, savings accounts as well as certificates of deposit. With the funding markets still lacking liquidity, forecasts for deposit rate movements carry greater uncertainty than when this market is functioning normally.  Based on inputs that include the current balance sheet, the current level of interest rates and the developed assumptions, the model then produces an expected level of net interest income assuming that market rates remain unchanged. This is considered the base case. Next, the model determines what net interest income would be based on specific changes in interest rates. The rate simulations are performed for a two year period and include ramped rate changes of down 100 basis points and up 200 basis points. The down 200 basis point scenario was discontinued given the current level of interest rates.  In the ramped down rate change, the model moves rates gradually down 100 basis points over the first year and then rates remain flat in the second year.

 

For the up 200 basis point scenario, rates are gradually moved up 200 basis points in the first year and then rates remain flat in the second year. In both the up and down scenarios, the model assumes a parallel shift in the yield curve. The results of these simulations are then compared to the base case.

 

At June 30, 2010, our asset/liability position was neutral based on our interest rate sensitivity model.  Currently, our net interest income would decrease by less than 1.2% in a down 100 basis point scenario and would be neutral in an up 200 basis point scenario over a one-year time frame.  In a two-year time horizon, our net interest income would decrease by less than 2.4% in a down 100 basis point scenario and would be neutral in an up 200 basis point scenario.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Our Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for reviewing our liquidity requirements and maximizing our net interest income consistent with capital requirements, liquidity, interest rate and economic outlooks, competitive factors and customer needs. Interest rate risk arises because the assets of the Bank and the liabilities of the Bank have different maturities and characteristics. In order to measure this interest rate risk, we use a simulation process that measures the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income. This model is run for the Bank by an independent consulting firm. The simulations incorporate assumptions related to expected activity in the balance sheet. For maturing assets, assumptions are developed for the redeployment of these assets. For maturing liabilities, assumptions are developed for the replacement of these funding sources. Assumptions are also developed for assets and liabilities that reprice during the modeled time period. These assumptions also cover how we expect rates to change on non-maturity deposits such as interest checking, money market checking, savings accounts as well as certificates of deposit. With the funding markets still lacking liquidity, forecasts for deposit rate movements carry greater uncertainty than when this market is functioning normally.  Based on inputs that include the most recent period end balance sheet, the current level of interest rates and the developed assumptions, the model then produces an expected level of net interest income assuming that interest rates remain unchanged. This becomes the base case. Next, the model determines the impact on net interest income given specified changes in interest rates. The rate simulations are performed for a two year period and include ramped rate changes of down 100 basis points and up 200 basis points. The down 200 basis point scenario was discontinued given the current level of interest rates.  In the ramped down rate change, the model moves rates gradually down 100 basis points over the first year and then rates remain flat in the second year.

 

For the up 200 basis point scenario, rates are gradually increased by 200 basis points in the first year and remain flat in the second year. In both the up and down scenarios, the model assumes a parallel shift in the yield curve. The results of these simulations are then compared to the base case.

 

At June 30, 2010, our asset/liability position was neutral based on our interest rate sensitivity model.  Currently, our net interest income would decrease by less than 1.2% in a down 100 basis point scenario and would be neutral in an up 200 basis point scenario over a one-year time frame.  In a two-year time horizon, our net interest income would decrease by less than 2.4% in a down 100 basis point scenario and would be neutral in an up 200 basis point scenario.

We have counter-party risk that may arise from the possible inability of George Mason’s third party investors to meet the terms of their forward sales contracts.  George Mason works with third-party investors that are generally well-capitalized, are investment grade and exhibit strong financial performance to mitigate this risk.  We do not expect any third-party investor to fail to meet its obligation.  In addition, we have derivative counterparty risk relating to certain interest rate swaps we have with a third party.  This risk may arise from the inability of the third party to

meet the terms of the contracts.  We monitor the financial condition of this third party on an annual basis.  We do not expect this third party to fail to meet its obligation.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by it in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, those controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based on and as of the date of such evaluation, these officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

The Company also maintains a system of internal accounting controls that is designed to provide assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and are properly recorded. This system is continually reviewed and is augmented by written policies and procedures, the careful selection and training of qualified personnel and an internal audit program to monitor its effectiveness. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation of it that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
