ALARION FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation. In the opinion of the management of Alarion Financial Services, Inc. (the “Holding Company”), the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at March 31, 2011 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

The Holding Company owns 100% of the common stock of Alarion Bank (the “Bank”) and North Central Florida Developers Corporation (“NCFDC”) (together the “Company”). The Holding Company’s primary activity is the operation of the Bank and NCFDC. The Bank is a state (Florida)-chartered commercial bank. The Bank offers a variety of banking and financial services to individual and corporate customers through its six banking offices located in Ocala and Gainesville, Florida. The deposit accounts of the Bank are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. NCFDC holds loans or assets that might require a longer than desirable term hold to realize reasonable or full economic value.

Recent Accounting Standards Update. In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820), which amends the guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures. The guidance in ASU 2010-06 requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers. Furthermore, ASU 2010-06 requires a reporting entity to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs; clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value; and amends guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets to require that disclosures be provided by classes of assets instead of by major categories of assets. The ASU was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures were effective January 1, 2011 and for interim periods thereafter. In the period of initial adoption, entities will not be required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented for comparative purposes. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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. The new disclosures will require significantly more information about credit quality in a financial institution’s loan portfolio. This statement addresses only disclosures and does not change recognition or measurement of the allowance. For public entities, the disclosures as of the end of a reporting period was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on December 31, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the disclosures are effective for annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-01, Receivables (Topic 310) Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20. The amendments in this Update delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20 for public entities. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring is effective as outlined in ASU No. 2011-02. The adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310) A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. This amends the guidance for troubled debt restructurings. The guidance clarifies the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. For public entities, the amendments are effective for first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2012, including interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Securities, Continued. There were no sales of securities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Securities with gross unrealized losses at March 31, 2011, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous loss position, is as follows (in thousands):

Mortgage-backed securities

   $ (658     35,587   
                

The unrealized losses on nineteen investment securities were caused by interest rate changes. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investments. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

Internally assigned loan grades are defined as follows:

Pass – A Pass loan’s primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary.

Special Mention – A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard – A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – A loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss – A loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

5. Share-Based Compensation. The Company adopted a stock option plan for its employees and directors (the “Plan”). Fifteen percent of the total amount of common shares outstanding, up to 450,000 shares (currently 397,981 shares), have been reserved under the Plan. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted to directors vest immediately and for employees, the options primarily vest over two years starting with the date of grant and ending on the second anniversary thereof. At March 31, 2011, there were 128,262 options available for future grants under the Plan. A summary of stock option transactions under the Plan for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, follows:

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

General

Alarion Financial Services, Inc. (the “Holding Company”) owns 100% of the common stock of Alarion Bank (the “Bank”) and North Central Florida Developers Corporation (collectively the “Company”). The Holding Company’s primary activity is the operation of the Bank and North Central Florida Developers Corporation. The Bank is a state (Florida)-chartered commercial bank. The Company offers a variety of banking and financial services to individual and corporate customers through its six banking offices located in Ocala and Gainesville, Florida. North Central Florida Developers Corporation (“NCFDC”) holds loans or assets that might require a longer than desirable term hold to realize full or reasonable economic value.

The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to applicable limits. The Holding Company’s and NCFDC operations are subject to supervision and regulation of the Federal Reserve Board. The operations of the Bank are subject to the supervision and regulation of the FDIC and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation.

The Bank provides a variety of consumer and commercial banking services to individuals, businesses and industries. The basic services offered by the Bank include: demand interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing accounts, money-market deposit accounts, NOW accounts, time deposits, credit cards, cash management, direct deposits, notary services, money orders, night depository, travelers’ checks, cashier’s checks, domestic collections, savings bonds, bank drafts, automated teller services, drive-in tellers, and banking by mail. In addition, the Bank makes secured and unsecured commercial, consumer, and real estate loans and issues stand-by letters of credit. The Bank provides automated teller machine (ATM) cards and is a member of the Star ATM network, thereby permitting customers to utilize the convenience of larger ATM networks. In addition to the foregoing services, the offices of the Company provide customers with extended banking hours. The Company does not have trust powers and, accordingly, no trust services are provided.

The revenues of the Bank are primarily derived from interest on, and fees received in connection with real estate and other loans, and from interest and dividends from investment and mortgage-backed securities, and short-term investments. The principal sources of funds for the Bank’s lending activities are its deposits and borrowings, repayment of loans, and the sale and maturity of investment securities. The principal expenses of the Bank are the interest paid on deposits, and operating and general administrative expenses.

As is the case with banking institutions generally, the Company’s operations are materially and significantly influenced by general economic conditions and by related monetary and fiscal policies of financial institution regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) and the FDIC. Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are affected by the demand for financing of real estate and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such financing may be offered and other factors affecting local demand and availability of funds. The Company faces strong competition in the attraction of deposits (its primary source of lendable funds) and in the origination of loans.

Capital Resources, Commitments and Capital Requirements

The Bank’s principal sources of funds are those generated by the Bank, including net increases in deposits and borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans, and proceeds from maturities and sales of investment securities.

The Bank uses its capital resources principally to fund existing and continuing loan commitments and to purchase investment securities. Off-balance-sheet commitments to extend credit represent legally binding agreements to lend to customers with fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since many commitments are expected to expire without being funded, committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

The following table summarizes the Bank’s contractual obligations, including certain on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet obligations, at March 31, 2011 (in thousands):

 

Contractual Obligations    Total  

Time deposit maturities

   $ 140,070   

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank

     22,000   

Other borrowings

     4,454   

Commitments to extend credit

     1,314   

Unused lines of credit

     15,467   

Standby letters of credit

     159   
        

Total

   $ 183,464   
        

Management believes that the Bank has adequate resources to fund all its commitments, that a majority of all of its existing commitments will be funded within 12 months and, if so desired, that the Bank can adjust the rates and terms on time deposits and other deposit accounts to retain or obtain new deposits in a changing interest rate environment.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and percentages of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. If such minimum amounts and percentages are met, the Bank is considered “adequately capitalized.” If the actual amounts exceed the requirements of “adequately capitalized,” and meet even more stringent minimum standards, they are considered “well capitalized.” Management believes as of March 31, 2011, the Bank meets the capital requirements for a “well capitalized” financial institution.

The table below shows the total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios of the Bank at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the minimum required amounts and percentages ($ in thousands).

Changes in Financial Condition

Total assets increased $14.5 million or 5%, from $303.0 million at December 31, 2010 to $317.5 million at March 31, 2011, primarily as a result of a $21.2 million increase in cash and cash equivalents somewhat offset by a decrease in net loans of $1.9 million. Deposits increased $11.4 million from $251.3 million at December 31, 2010 to $262.7 million at March 31, 2011.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

General Operating Results. Net loss available to common shareholders for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 was $122,000, or $(0.05) per basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $181,000, or $(0.07) per basic and diluted common share, for the comparable period in 2010. The $59,000 decrease in net loss resulted primarily from a $13,000 increase in net interest income, a $64,000 increase in noninterest income and a $265,000 decrease in provision for loan losses, partially offset by a $250,000 increase in noninterest expense.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $314,000 to $3.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, when compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was due to a $14.5 million decrease in average interest-earning assets outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the 2010 period and a decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets from 5.09% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 4.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $327,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same 2010 period. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 2.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 1.67% for the comparable 2011 period and a $10.9 million decrease in average interest bearing liabilities. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased from $260.4 million outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $249.4 million outstanding during the comparable period for 2011.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged to operations to increase the total loan loss allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management. The provision is based upon the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, industry standards, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company’s market area, and other factors related to the collectability of the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 of $525,000 and $790,000, respectively. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses, which was $4.6 million or 2.13% of gross loans at March 31, 2011 is adequate.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $64,000 during the 2011 period. The increase was primarily due to a $59,000 increase in gain on sale of loans held for sale compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2010.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $250,000 from $1.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 to $2.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to increases of $97,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $5,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, and $16,000 in other noninterest expense, all related to the overall growth of the residential mortgage department.

Income Taxes. The income tax benefit was $36,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010. The income tax benefit was $4,000 for the corresponding period in 2011.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

  a. Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of March 31, 2011, the Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officer of the Company concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate.

 

  b. Changes in internal controls. The Company made no significant changes in its internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

 

  c. Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls. The Company, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
