NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The accounting and reporting policies of Pioneer Bankshares, Inc. (“Company”), and its subsidiary Pioneer Bank (“Bank”), conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to accepted practices within the banking industry. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

A summary of significant accounting policies is as follows:

Consolidation Policy - The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Bank and Pioneer Financial Services, LLC, and Pioneer Special Assets, LLC, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Bank. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates – In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed real estate and deferred tax assets, other-than-temporary impairment of securities, and fair value of financial instruments.

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current year presentation.

Subsequent Events - In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date these financial statements were issued. Management has concluded there were no material subsequent events to be disclosed at this time.

Securities - Investment securities which the Company intends to hold until maturity or until called are classified as held to maturity. These investment securities are carried at cost. Restricted securities include the Bank’s investments in Federal Reserve Bank stock and FHLB stock and are carried at cost.

Securities which the Company intends to hold for indefinite periods of time, including securities used as part of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy, are classified as available for sale. These securities are carried at fair value. Net unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company classified all securities as available for sale.

Impairment of securities occurs when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost. For debt securities, impairment is considered other-than-temporary and recognized in its entirety in net income if either (i) the Company intends to sell the security or (ii) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If, however, the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more-than-likely that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, management must determine what portion of the impairment is attributable to a credit loss, which occurs when the amortized cost of the security exceeds the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security. If there is no credit loss, there is no other-than-temporary impairment. If there is a credit loss, other- than-temporary impairment exists, and the credit loss must be recognized in net income and the remaining portion of impairment must be recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

8

---

For equity securities, impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary based on our ability and intent to hold the investment until a recovery of fair value. Other-than-temporary impairment of an equity security results in a write-down that must be included in income. The Company regularly reviews each security for other-than- temporary impairment based on criteria that include the extent to which cost exceeds market price, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer, our best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from debt securities, our intention with regard to holding the security to maturity and the likelihood that the Company would be required to sell the security before recovery.

Loans Receivable – Loans receivable are intended to be held until maturity and are reported at their outstanding principal balance less any adjustments for charge offs, net of unearned interest, the allowance for loan losses, and deferred loan fees and costs. Interest is computed by methods which generally result in level rates of return on principal. Interest income is generally not recognized on non-accrual loans and payments received on such loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.

The Company classifies all loans past due when the payment of principal and interest based upon contractual terms is greater than 30 days delinquent.

The accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection for all loan classes. Commercial non-real estate classes are placed on nonaccrual status when it is probable that principal or interest is not fully collectible, or generally when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due, whichever occurs first. Real estate loans, which includes the residential, commercial, and construction land categories, are generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal and interest becomes 90 days past due. Consumer non-real estate loans, including personal auto mobile loans and all other individual loans are placed on nonaccrual status at varying intervals, based on the type of product, generally when principal and interest becomes between 90 days and 120 days past due. Revolving consumer credit card loans are not placed on nonaccrual but are generally charged-off if they reach 120 days past due, with unpaid fees and finance charges reversed against interest income. Consumer non-real estate loans are typically charged off between 90 and 120 days past due unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection and are subject to mandatory charge-off at a specified delinquency date consistent with regulatory guidelines. In most cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All other loan classes are generally charged off within the range of 90 to 180 days, unless there are specific or extenuating circumstances that warrant further collection or legal actions.

Interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied as a reduction to the remaining principal balance as long as concern exists as to the ultimate collection of the principal. Loans are generally removed from nonaccrual status when the concern no longer exists as to the collectability of principal and interest and the borrower has been able to demonstrate a specific period of payment performance.

Allowance for Loan Losses – The provision for loan losses charged to operations is an amount sufficient to bring the allowance for loan losses to an estimated balance that management considers adequate to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the allowance. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the evaluation of the composition of the loan portfolio, the value and adequacy of collateral, current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, concentrations of credit within the portfolio, loan growth trends, levels of adversely classified loans, past due trends, as well as other factors related to the knowledge and experience of lending personnel and legal, regulatory, or compliance issues related to lending practices. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly those affecting real estate values. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The allowance consists of specific and various general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either substandard or doubtful. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

 

9

---

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large commercial real estate loans and construction land loans are reviewed and evaluated on an annual basis or as they become delinquent so as to determine any possible impairment. Residential real estate loans are specifically evaluated for possible impairment on a case by case basis as they become delinquent or are identified as a potential problem credit. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not generally separately identify individual consumer loans for impairment disclosures.

Troubled Debt Restructurings - In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial condition, management may grant a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider, the related loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). Management strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and work with them to modify their loan to more affordable terms before their loan reaches nonaccrual status. These modified terms may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. In cases where borrowers are granted new terms that provide for a reduction of either interest or principal, management measures any impairment on the restructuring as noted above for impaired loan.

Restructured loans totaled $4.9 million as of September 30, 2011 compared to $875,000 as of December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, approximately $2.8 million of these restructured loan balances were considered to be performing and in compliance with their modified terms, leaving approximately $2.1 million classified as non-performing based on their past due or nonaccrual status. Restructured loans classified as performing as of December 31, 2010 were $432,000, with approximately $443,000 being classified as nonperforming based on their past due or nonaccrual status.

Transfers of Financial Assets - Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Bank – put presumptively beyond reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.

Foreclosed Assets- Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.

Bank Premises and Equipment – Land values are carried at cost. Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to expense over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 40 years, on a straight-line method.

Income Taxes – Amounts provided for income tax expense are based on income reported for financial statement purposes rather than amounts currently payable under income tax laws. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the balance sheet method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statements of income.

Financial Instruments - In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance-sheet financial

instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commitments under credit-card arrangements, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for other loans. Commitments to extend credit are generally made for a period of one year or less and interest rates are determined when funds are disbursed. Collateral and other security for the loans are determined on a case-by-case basis. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the contract or notional amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and amounts due from banks.

Advertising Costs - The Company follows the policy of charging the production costs of advertising to expense as incurred.

Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Stock Compensation Plans – Accounting guidance requires that costs resulting from all share-based plans be expensed and recognized in the financial statements over the vesting period of each specific stock option granted. The Company’s 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors on June 11, 1998 and approved by the shareholders on June 11, 1999. This ten year Plan expired in June of 2008 with respect to the issuance of new option grants. However, grants previously issued under this Plan may still be exercised within the original terms.

Generally, the Plan provided for the grants of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of an Option could not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock (or if greater, the book value) on the date of the grant. The option terms applicable to each grant were determined at the grant date, but no Option could be exercisable in any event, after ten years from its grant date.

The accounting standard relating to Stock Compensation requires that costs resulting from all share-based plans be expensed and recognized in the financial statements over the vesting period of each specific stock option granted. All outstanding shares are fully vested and all compensation expense relating to outstanding stock options under this plan have been previously recorded. There is no additional compensation expense expected to be booked relating to this plan.

The fair value of each previously issued stock option grant was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected volatility was based on historical volatility. The risk-free interest rates for periods within the contractual life of the awards were based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected life is based on historical exercise experience. The dividend paid assumptions were based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payments.

Management recognizes that current economic conditions and market trends may result in other than temporary impairment classifications for certain securities or equity investments. Management’s evaluation of the individual stocks and securities within the investment portfolios is performed on a quarterly basis and assesses the unrealized loss positions that exist to determine whether there is potential other than temporary impairment. The key factors considered during this evaluation process are the amount of unrealized loss, percentage decline in value, length of time in loss position, near-term prospects of the issuer, current market trading activity, financial strength ratings from industry reports, credit quality, credit ratings, continued dividend payments of the issuer, diversification or multiple holdings within particular funds, as well as management’s intent and ability to hold stocks until such time that they can recover in value and further assessment and determination that the institution will not be required to sell such investments to meet operational cash flow needs in the near future. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management also considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports.

As of September 30, 2011 there were 2 securities in the portfolio with unrealized losses, which were considered to be temporary. The schedule of losses on these securities is as follows:

 

Unrealized Losses
				Equity Securities				Total
Less than 12 Months		Fair Value		$	74			$	74
		Unrealized Losses			(2	)			(2	)
More than 12 Months		Fair Value			—				—
		Unrealized Losses			—				—
Total		Fair Value			74				74
		Unrealized Losses			(2	)			(2	)

There were no securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2010.

Unrealized losses within the securities portfolio are evaluated on a quarterly basis with numerous factors being assessed to determine if any such losses are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as previously discussed.

The Bank also holds additional investments in Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) in the form of FHLB stock, which is a membership requirement. Loan advances from FHLB are subject to additional stock purchase requirements, which are generally redeemed as outstanding loan balances are repaid, subject to FHLB’s quarterly excess capital evaluation process. FHLB evaluates the excess capital stock of its members on a quarterly basis to determine stock repurchase activities.

Additionally, FHLB generally pays quarterly dividends on the outstanding stock investment of each of its members. FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long term investment and is considered to be a restricted security, which is carried at cost, because there is no market for the stock other than FHLB or other member institutions. For the period ending September 30, 2011, the Bank’s investment in FHLB stock totaled approximately $846,000.

Management’s evaluation of FHLB stock for possible impairment is based on the ultimate recoverability of par value rather than recognizing temporary declines in value. Management’s evaluation of FHLB stock as of September 30, 2011 did not consider this investment to be other than temporarily impaired, and therefore, no impairment has been recognized.

The Bank grants commercial, real estate and consumer installment loans to its customers. Collateral requirements for loans are determined on a case by case basis depending upon the purpose of the loan and the financial condition of the borrower. The ultimate collectability of the Bank’s loan portfolio and the ability to realize the value of any underlying collateral, if needed, are influenced by the economic conditions of its market service area.

Pioneer Bank’s loan portfolio is concentrated in real estate loans, including those secured by residential consumer properties and small business commercial properties. Management has established specific lending criteria relating to real estate loans as a means of mitigating the risk inherent in the portfolio.

Deposit account overdrafts are also classified as loans and totaled $51,000 and $74,000 as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Loans past due greater than 90 days and still accruing interest at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 totaled $168,000 and $76,000, respectively. Management continually monitors past due accounts and places these accounts in nonaccrual status if the payment plans are not adhered to. Nonaccrual loans excluded from impaired loan disclosure amounted to $392,000 and $216,000, at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The nonaccrual loans excluded from impaired loan disclosure at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consisted primarily of small business loans and small consumer installment loans, which were paying as agreed or in the process of collection at the time of this report.

Management has developed an internal loan risk rating system as part of its credit analysis process. Loans are assigned an appropriate risk grade at the time of origination based on specific assessment factors relating to the borrower’s ability to meet contractual obligations under the loan agreement. This process includes reviewing borrowers’ financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and other information specific to each borrower. Commercial loan grade assessments also include consideration of business cash flow and debt obligations. Risk grades are generally reviewed on an annual basis for credit relationships with total credit exposure of $500,000 or more, or at any point management becomes aware of information affecting the borrower’s ability to fulfill their obligations. Management utilizes both internal and external loan review processes as a means of monitoring the appropriateness of risk ratings across the loan portfolio.

The specific loan risk rating categories included in the Bank’s internal rating system include pass credits, pass-watch, special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss. Pass credits generally consist of loans secured by cash or cash equivalents and loans to borrowers with a strong cash flow ratio, stable financial net worth and above average sources of liquidity to meet financial obligations. Pass-watch credits generally consist of loans to borrowers that may have minor, yet manageable, weaknesses related to the stability of cash flow and repayment sources and may require periodic monitoring. Special mention credits are loans that have identified weaknesses or adverse trends in the borrower’s financial position that could potentially impact the bank’s credit position at some future date if not monitored closely. Substandard credits are those loans that have been identified as having a well-defined, specific, or major weakness in the primary cash flow sources or upon which significant reliance is being placed on secondary sources of repayment due to the borrower’s financial difficulties. Potential for losses related to substandard credits is evaluated on a regular basis with specific allocations being made as needed, as well as other corrective actions necessary to protect the institution. Loans categorized as doubtful also have well defined weaknesses with the added characteristic of the likelihood that collection of payment in full is highly questionable or perhaps improbable. Loans classified as loss are considered to be totally uncollectible or of such little value that their continuance on the bank’s books as an asset is not warranted.

Management’s quarter-end evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss for the period ended September 30, 2011 included certain changes to the Bank’s methodology with regard to the historical allocation factors, which were implemented during the 2^nd quarter of 2011. Management reviewed the historical loss ranges and has performed additional analysis to determine a more appropriate historical period by loan type based on the most significant areas of loss history for each loan category. This further analysis was performed in light of the continuing economic challenges and the Bank’s current loan portfolio trends, with regard to charge offs and loan growth activities. Additionally, the allowance for loan loss allocation factors relating to commercial and residential real estate concentrations, commercial loan growth, and classified loans have been increased for the period ending September 30, 2011 to more appropriately reflect the increased risk that is deemed to be associated with these loan categories under the current economic conditions.

The following table represents the cumulative effect of the changes in the allowance for loan loss methodology for the period ending September 30, 2011 as compared to the evaluation factors used in period ending December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

BORROWINGS:

The Bank has a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta upon which credit advances can be made up to 40% of total Bank assets, subject to certain eligibility requirements. FHLB advances bear interest at a fixed or floating rate depending on the terms and maturity of each advance and numerous renewal options are available. These advances are secured by the Bank’s real estate loan portfolio, with a current pledge against the institution’s first lien 1-4 family residential mortgages totaling $55.7 million, as of September 30, 2011. On certain fixed rate advances, the FHLB may convert the advance to an indexed floating rate at some set point in time for the remainder of the term. If the advance converts to a floating rate, the Bank may repay all or part of the advance without a prepayment penalty.

At September 30, 2011, total outstanding borrowings with FHLB were $12.0 million. This outstanding balance consist of two fixed rate advances with scheduled principal payments due quarterly and a final maturity date of March 1, 2013 and July 15, 2014. The interest rates on these outstanding advances range from 0.71% to 1.14%.

NOTE 8

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT:

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of FASB ASC, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The recent fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine the fair value.

 

Level 1 –		Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 –		Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.
Level 3 –		Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.

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

Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that considers observable market data (Level 2).

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

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

Impaired Loans: The Fair Value Measurement accounting standard also applies to loans measured for impairment including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral.

Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3.

The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business financial statement if not considered significant using observable market data. Internal collateral evaluations relating to commercial loans secured by business assets such as inventory and equipment are generally performed on an annual basis. However, since this is not a formalized or certified valuation, these evaluations are considered to be level 3 for fair value disclosure and reporting purposes. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

26

---

For residential and commercial real estate loans considered to be collateral dependent, appraisals or updated collateral evaluations are generally obtained in conjunction with specific allowance allocations and/or anticipated foreclosure proceedings, on a case by case basis, depending upon the strength of additional mitigating arrangements with individual borrowers.

The outstanding principal balance of impaired loans considered to be collateral dependent in the level 3 category as of September 30, 2011 totaled approximately $389,000 compared to $680,000 as of December 31, 2010. These loans primarily consisted of business asset loans and certain real estate properties with appraisal valuations that were in the process of being updated. As a general rule, management utilizes a significant discount factor for outdated appraisals when calculating its allowance allocation estimates and making specific reserves. Local professional realtors are also contacted regarding potential fair market values in an effort to ensure that the discounted values are within reasonable ranges on individual properties. Additionally, updated tax assessed values are also considered in this evaluation process on a case by case basis.

Other Real Estate Owned: Certain assets such as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at the lower of loan balance or fair value less cost to sell. Fair value of OREO properties held are generally based on current appraisal values with data less than two years old being considered Level 2 and any older valuation data being considered Level 3, as previously defined above.

The following table summarizes the Company’s assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period.

 

Description		Balances Outstanding (In Thousands)				Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)				Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)				Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Accounting guidance defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale. As the majority of the Company’s financial instruments lack an available trading market; significant estimates, assumptions and present value calculations are required to determine estimated fair value. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Due From Banks and Federal Funds Sold - For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Interest Bearing Deposits in Other Banks – Fair values are based on quoted reinvestment market rates available for similar deposits accounts as of the date of this report.

Securities – Fair values, excluding restricted stock, are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.

Loans Receivable – For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some residential mortgages, and other consumer loans, fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices for securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

 

27

---

Deposits and Borrowings – The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of all other deposits and borrowings is determined using the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate was equal to the rate currently offered on similar products.

Accrued Interest – The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximates fair value.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments – The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit worthiness of the counter party. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of stand-by letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counter parties at the reporting date.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of loan commitments and stand-by letters of credit was immaterial. Therefore, they have not been included in the following table.

Estimated fair value and the carrying value of financial instruments at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:

The Company, through its bank subsidiary, assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair value of their financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to repay in a rising rate environment and more likely to repay in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.

 

Item 2.

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

The discussion covers the consolidated financial condition and operations of Pioneer Bankshares, Inc. (“Company”) and its subsidiary Pioneer Bank (“Bank”).

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements with respect to the Company’s and the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations and business. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. When used in this quarterly report or future regulatory filings, in press releases or other public shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution the readers and users of this information not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and advise readers that various factors including regional and national economic conditions, changes in the levels of market rates of interest, credit risk and lending activities, and competitive and regulatory factors could affect the financial performance of the Company and the Bank and could cause actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected.

The Company and the Bank do not undertake and specifically disclaim any obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions, which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Overview

The Company had net earnings as of September 30, 2011 of $1.1 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period last year. This represents a decrease of approximately $242,000 or 18.62%. This decrease is primarily attributed to additional allowance for loan loss provision expense, as well as other increased expenses related to professional appraisal services and foreclosure property renovations.

The Company has had an overall increase in assets since December 2010 of approximately $2.5 million, which is primarily attributed to loan growth in the commercial and consumer loan sectors.

The deposit portfolio has remained relatively stable, with a slight increase of $539,000 as of September 30, 2011. The overall changes in the bank’s deposit portfolio have resulted from reductions in time deposits, reductions in interest bearing demand deposits and an increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits.

The Company’s capital position remains strong as of September 30, 2011 at $20.0 million, or 11.74% as a percentage of total assets. The company has been able to continue to pay quarterly dividend payments of $0.15 per share for each quarter during 2011 and continues to have sufficient cash flow to pay shareholder dividends from the holding company, rather than directly from capital transfers from the bank.

Management recognizes that prevailing economic conditions may have the potential to adversely impact the Company’s operational results, including future earnings, liquidity, and capital resources. Management continually monitors economic factors in an effort to promptly identify specific trends that could have a direct material effect on the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset, or relieving a liability.

The Company uses historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic accounting standards: 1) Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when they are considered to be probable and can be reasonably estimated, and 2) Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the market and the loan balance.

Management also evaluates the loan portfolio in light of national and local economic trends, changes in the nature and value of the portfolio and industry standards. Allocation factors relating to identified loan concentrations and loan growth trends are included in the calculation of the adequacy of the loan loss reserve. The periodic review of the allowance for loan loss and funding provision considers concentrations of loans in terms of geography, business type or level of risk. Management evaluates the risk elements involved in loans relative to collateral values and maintains the allowance for loan losses at a level which is adequate to absorb credit losses considered to be inherent in the loan portfolio. Management engages the services of an outside loan review firm periodically to evaluate the loan portfolio, provide an independent analysis of significant borrowers, and to assist in identifying potential problem credits. The independent loan review report is used by management as an additional tool for monitoring and minimizing risks that may be inherent in the loan portfolio. Management has also implemented an internal loan review process for the purpose of identifying and monitoring possible loan losses in the portfolio. Other factors considered in management’s evaluation process are changes in lending policies, procedures and underwriting criteria; changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; the experience, ability, and depth of lending management or other lending personnel; the volume and severity of past dues, non-accruals, and classified loans; and other external or regulatory requirements. Regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the estimated losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additional losses based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The methodology used to calculate the allowance for loan losses and the provision for loan losses is a significant accounting principle, which is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions.

Goodwill

Goodwill is evaluated on an annual basis for impairments in value and adjusted accordingly. The accounting standards for Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets require that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Additionally, it further clarifies the criteria for the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets separate from goodwill. The provisions of these accounting standards discontinued the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Instead, these assets are subject to an annual impairment review, which must be performed at least annually or more frequently if certain impairment indicators are in evidence. The accounting standards relating to Goodwill also require that reporting units be identified for the purpose of assessing potential future impairments.

Goodwill is included in other assets and totaled $360,000 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Goodwill is no longer amortized, but instead is tested for impairment at least annually.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Total interest income decreased $48,000 or 0.69% for the period ending September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period for 2010. Total interest expense decreased $275,000 or 20.03% during the nine month period ending September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. The decreases in interest income and interest expense resulted in an increase in net interest income of $227,000 or 4.04% for the period ending September 30, 2011, compared to the period ending September 30, 2010. This net increase is primarily attributed to reduced interest expense on deposits as a result of the current low interest rate environment. The reduced interest income it also attributed to lower market rates for investments and other earning assets.

The average outstanding loan balances as of September 30, 2011 totaled $132.1 million, as compared to $129.7 million as of September 30, 2010. The average yield on loan balances outstanding has decreased from 6.77% as of September 30, 2010 to 6.74% as of September 30, 2011. The overall average yield on earning assets has decreased from 6.08% as of September 30, 2010 to 5.90% as of September 30, 2011. These decreases in average yields are attributed to the current low interest rate environment, as previously discussed.

The Company’s cost of liabilities decreased from 1.55% as of September 30, 2010 to 1.22% as of September 30, 2011. This is attributed to management’s proactive re-pricing efforts to reduce interest expense on deposit products in conjunction with lower market rates.

The Company’s overall net interest margin has increased from 4.89% as of September 30, 2010 to 4.97% as of September 30, 2011.

Noninterest Income

During the nine month period ending September 30, 2011, non-interest income increased by $83,000 or 9.81%, when compared to the same period last year. This increase in non-interest income is primarily related to gains on securities transactions, which are generally considered to be non-recurring income activities. The total gains on securities transactions as of September 30, 2011 were $111,000 compared to losses on securities transactions for the same period last year of $54,000.

Noninterest Expense

During the nine month period ending September 30, 2011, non-interest expense increased by $372,000 or 9.50% in comparison to the same period last year. The primary factors contributing to this increase were additional professional fees related to appraisals required for certain real estate loans and OREO properties, as well as additional audit and consulting expenses, and certain expenses associated with the Company’s recent change to an outsourced data processing environment. In prior years, the Company’s recorded data processing expenses were primarily included in equipment and maintenance expense rather than in general operating expenses. Additionally, salaries and benefit expense increased by $169,000 as of September 30, 2011, when compared to the prior year. This increase is primarily attributed to the addition of new salary expenses relating to staff positions that have remained vacant for an extended period of time. Management’s decisions in previous years regarding salary increases and hiring activities were of a conservative nature in an effort to control costs in the uncertain economic environment.

Financial Condition

Securities

The Company’s securities portfolio is held to assist the Company in liquidity and asset liability management as well as capital appreciation. The securities portfolio generally consists of securities held to maturity and securities available for sale. Securities are classified as held to maturity when management has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. These securities are carried at amortized cost. Securities available for sale include securities that may be sold in response to general market fluctuations, general liquidity needs and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are recorded at market value. Unrealized holding gains and losses of available for sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported (net of deferred income taxes) as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

---

As of September 30, 2011, the fair market value of securities available for sale was approximately $362,000 more than the net amortized cost value as shown in Note 2 of the financial statements included in this report. Management continually monitors its securities portfolio with regard to unrealized losses and has a detailed evaluation process for assessing potential other-than-temporary impairments, should unrealized loss positions occur. As of September 30, 2011, there were 2 securities in an unrealized loss position, which were evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment, with the conclusion being that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired at this time. Additionally, management recognizes that certain market condition and economic factors can cause valuation fluctuations within the securities portfolio. At this time, management does not expect these potential fluctuations in the value of these securities to have a material impact on earnings.

Investments in securities, including those which were restricted, decreased by approximately $900,000 during the nine month period ending September 30, 2011 as a result of anticipated maturities and scheduled paydowns. The Company generally invests in securities with a relatively short-term maturity due to uncertainty in the direction of interest rates. Of the investments in securities available for sale, 2.57% (based on market value) are invested in equities, most of which are dividend producing and subject to the corporate dividend exclusion for taxation purposes. The equity securities generally include common stocks, which are purchased with the objective of generating additional income. The value of these investments is sensitive to general trends in the stock market and other economic conditions.

Loan Portfolio

The Company operates in a service area in the western portion of Virginia in the counties of Page, Greene, Rockingham and Albemarle, as well as the City of Harrisonburg and the City of Charlottesville, Virginia. The Company does not make a significant number of loans to borrowers outside its primary service area. The Company is active in local residential construction mortgages and consumer lending. Commercial lending includes loans to small and medium sized businesses within its service area.

An inherent risk in the lending of money is that the borrower will not be able to repay the loan under the terms of the original agreement. The allowance for loan losses (see subsequent section) provides for this risk and is reviewed periodically for adequacy. The risk associated with real estate and installment loans to individuals is based upon employment, the local and national economies, and consumer confidence. All of these affect the ability of borrowers to repay indebtedness. The risk associated with commercial lending is substantially based on the strength of the local and national economies in addition to the financial strength of the borrower.

While lending is geographically diversified within the service area, the Company does have loan concentrations in commercial and residential real estate loans, as well as, consumer auto loans. A portion of these loans are made to borrowers who are employed by businesses outside the service area.

During the nine month period ending September 30, 2011, net loans increased by approximately $2.6 million or 2.00%. The increase in loan volume was primarily in the category of residential real estate loans, commercial non-real estate loans and consumer automobile loans. A schedule of loans by type is shown in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

The risk elements in lending activities include non-accrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due, restructured and impaired loans. Non-accrual loans are loans on which interest accruals have been suspended or discontinued permanently as previously defined in the Company’s significant accounting policies. Restructured loans are loans on which the original interest rate or repayment terms have changed due to the borrower’s financial hardship and were previously discussed in Note 1.

Impaired loans are those loans which have been identified by management as problem credits due to various circumstances concerning the borrower’s financial condition and frequent delinquency status. These loans may not be delinquent to the extent that would warrant a non-accrual classification, however, management has classified these accounts as impaired and is monitoring the circumstances and payment status closely. In most cases, a specific allocation to the Bank’s allowance for loan loss is made for an impaired loan. The total amount of impaired loans as of September 30, 2011 was $6.2 million compared to $2.8 million as of December 31, 2010. A significant portion of this increase is directly related to loans that have been reclassified as troubled debt restructures under the new regulatory guidelines and the bank’s identification process relating to potential problem loans and impairment evaluation.

 

32

---

Management has placed approximately $2.4 million of the Bank’s impaired loans in a nonaccrual status as of September 30, 2011. Impaired loans not in nonaccrual status as of September 30, 2011 were approximately $3.8 million. Specific allocations have been made to the allowance for loan loss account of approximately $847,000 as of September 30, 2011 to cover potential losses that may occur relating to impaired loans and those loans considered to be collateral dependent as of September 30, 2011.

Management continually monitors past due, non-accrual, and impaired loans and takes necessary collection actions on a consistent basis to minimize losses in the portfolio. Management monitors all non-performing assets in order to promptly identify any loss allocations that should be made. Although the potential exists for additional losses, management believes the Bank is generally well secured and continues to actively work with these customers to effect payment.

Problem loans (serious doubt loans) are loans whereby information known by management indicates that the borrower may not be able to comply with present payment terms. Management was not aware of any problem loans at September 30, 2011 that are not included in the past due or non-accrual loans referred to above.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Management’s analysis process for evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss is a continual process, which is monitored at least quarterly, or more frequently, as needed. The evaluation process consists of regular periodic reviews of the loans outstanding by loan type. Specific reviews and allocations are made for loans that have been identified as potential loss, in which the borrower’s financial condition has substantially weakened or habitual past due payment activity has occurred. Specific reviews and allocations are also made for various sectors of the loan portfolio that have been identified as higher risk categories. Historical loss ratios are applied to the remaining loan portfolio by loan type, based on the most recent loss trends. Management takes into consideration expected recoveries from prior charge offs as part of its allowance and funding calculation.

Management also evaluates the loan portfolio in light of national and local economic trends, changes in the nature and value of the portfolio and industry standards. Allocation factors relating to identified loan concentrations and loan growth trends are included in the calculation of the adequacy of the loan loss reserve. The periodic review of the allowance for loan loss and funding provision considers concentrations of loans in terms of geography, business type or level of risk. Management evaluates the risk elements involved in loans relative to collateral values and maintains the allowance for loan losses at a level which is adequate to absorb credit losses considered to be inherent in the loan portfolio. Management engages the services of an outside loan review firm periodically to evaluate the loan portfolio, provide an independent analysis of significant borrowers, and to assist in identifying potential problem credits. The independent loan review report is used by management as an additional tool for monitoring and minimizing risks that may be inherent in the loan portfolio. Management has also implemented an internal loan review process for the purpose of identifying and monitoring possible loan losses in the portfolio. Other factors considered in management’s evaluation process are changes in lending policies, procedures and underwriting criteria; changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; the experience, ability, and depth of lending management or other lending personnel; the volume and severity of past dues, non-accruals, and classified loans; and other external or regulatory requirements. Regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the estimated losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additional losses based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The methodology used to calculate the allowance for loan losses and the provision for loan losses is a significant accounting principle which is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions.

The provision for loan losses and changes in the allowance for loan losses are shown in note 4 of the financial statements included in this report.

The allowance for loan loss balance of $2.4 million, at September 30, 2011, increased by approximately $82,000 from its level at December 31, 2010. The increase in the allowance balance is primarily related to additional specific allocations and increased historical allocation factors that have been implemented to mitigate the risk of loss deemed to be inherent in the loan portfolio. The increase in the allowance allocations are considered to be directionally consistent with the changes and trends within the bank’s loan portfolio.

 

33

---

Management continues to assess its allocation factors with regard to the current economic trends, historical charge-off data, concentrations of credit within the Bank’s loan portfolio, and trends in non-performing assets as a means of providing sufficient funding for possible losses.

The cumulative balance in the allowance for loan loss account was equal to 1.79% and 1.76% of total loans at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. This increase in the overall allowance for loan loss percentage is also considered to be directionally consistent with the changes and trends that have occurred within the portfolio.

The allowance is deemed to be within an acceptable range based on management’s evaluation of the losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the end of this reporting period. The evaluation of the allowance for loan loss account as of September 30, 2011 included specific allocations for certain borrowers, in which the payment performance and collateral value assessment indicates possible future losses. Management exercises the utmost caution and due diligence in allocating for possible loan losses, and follows a conservative methodology in order to protect its investors and to minimize the potential for large fluctuations in future provision expenses. Management’s practice of funding the allowance for loan loss account is to make necessary adjustments on a quarterly basis for the foreseeable period in an attempt to effectively match expenses to loan losses as they are occurring. Large fluctuations or variances outside of the acceptable range as calculated for the necessary allowance for loan loss reserves are recorded directly to income or expense in the reporting period.

The provision expense related to the allowance for loan loss as of September 30, 2011 was $937,000 as compared to $645,000 for the same period last year. This increased provision expense or $292,000 is primarily attributed to allocations that were made for certain large commercial and real estate loans, one large participation loan balance that was charged off during the second quarter of 2011, and increases in various allocation factors deemed necessary for the potential risk of loss inherent within particular segments of the loan portfolio.

Management’s evaluation of the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 concluded that the reserved amount was adequate to cover estimated losses that may occur within the portfolio. The allowance for loan loss account is monitored closely by management on an on-going basis, and is periodically adjusted to ensure that an adequate level of loss coverage is maintained.

Premises, Equipment and Software - discuss new branch / land purchase

During the nine month period ending September 30, 2011, the Company had total purchases relating to premises, equipment or other fixed assets of approximately $1.0 million. Approximately $936,000 of this amount is related to a land purchase in Ruckersville, Virginia, upon which the Company intends to build a new branch location, subject to obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals. The Company’s tentative plan is to have this new branch location completed and in operation within the next 18 – 24 months.

The Company also made certain purchases related to the purchase of software and equipment upgrades during the nine month period ending September 30, 2011 of approximately $93,000. The Bank continually monitors technological upgrades in the banking industry, and periodically, in order to achieve higher levels of internal operational efficiency, purchases new or additional equipment relating to such technologies. Management sets specific budget allowances on an annual basis, which are deemed to be adequate to cover expenditures that may arise throughout the year relating to technological upgrades or enhancements.

The Bank executed new contracts with its core data processing vendor during 2010 for various system enhancements relating to certain daily processing functions and operational software upgrades. One major element of these new contracts was the change from an in-house daily processing system to an outsourced environment, in which the core vendor now performs selected back-office operational support functions for the bank. The implementation of these new system functions are expected to provide increased internal efficiencies to the Bank for the future.

Deposits

The Company’s main source of funds is customer deposits received from individuals, governmental entities and businesses located within the Company’s service area. Deposit accounts include demand deposits, savings, money market and certificates of deposit. The Company’s total deposit portfolio has historically remained relatively stable; however, these balances fluctuate with normal daily activity.

During the nine month period ending September 30, 2011, total deposits increased by approximately $539,000 or 0.40%, with the majority of this growth being attributed to demand deposit and savings accounts. Non interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $4.1 million or 15.89%, while interest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $1.1 million or 4.63%. Savings deposit accounts increased by approximately $578,000 or 3.67%, while time deposits decreased by approximately $3.1 million or 4.28%.

The Company monitors its deposits carefully on an on-going basis in order to provide adequate funding for investment and loan opportunities.

Borrowings

The Bank has a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta upon which credit advances can be made up to 40% of total Bank assets, subject to certain eligibility requirements. FHLB advances bear interest at a fixed or floating rate depending on the terms and maturity of each advance and numerous renewal options are available. These advances are secured by the Bank’s real estate loan portfolio, with a current pledge against the institution’s first lien 1-4 family residential mortgages totaling $55.7 million, as of September 30, 2011. On certain fixed rate advances, the FHLB may convert the advance to an indexed floating rate at some set point in time for the remainder of the term. If the advance converts to a floating rate, the Bank may repay all or part of the advance without a prepayment penalty.

At September 30, 2011, total outstanding borrowings with FHLB were $12.0 million. This outstanding balance consist of two fixed rate advances with scheduled principal payments due quarterly and a final maturity date of March 1, 2013 and July 15, 2014. The interest rates on these outstanding advances range from 0.71% to 1.14%.

The scheduled repayments and maturities of outstanding FHLB borrowings as of September 30, 2011 are shown in TABLE II of this report.

Capital

The adequacy of the Company’s capital is reviewed by management on an ongoing basis with reference to its size, composition, quality of assets and liability levels, and consistency with regulatory requirements and industry standards. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level to support asset growth, shareholder dividends, and ongoing operational needs.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s total capital-to-asset ratios were 11.74% and 11.53%, respectively. The capital ratios for both the Company and the Bank exceed the well-capitalized regulatory guidelines as of September 30, 2011 and earnings have historically been sufficient to allow for consistent dividends to be declared on a quarterly basis.

Liquidity

Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, investments and loans maturing within one year. The Company’s ability to obtain deposits and purchase funds at favorable rates determines its liquidity exposure. As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through borrowings, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include, but are not limited to, loan repayments, deposits obtained through the adjustment of interest rates, purchases of federal funds and borrowings. To further meet its liquidity needs, the Company also maintains lines of credit with the FHLB and certain correspondent banks.

There are no off-balance sheet items that should impair future liquidity. Liquidity as of September 30, 2011 is considered to be adequate.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The Company historically has had a stable core deposit base and, therefore, does not have to rely on volatile funding sources. Because of the stable core deposit base, changes in interest rates should not have a significant effect on liquidity. The Company also uses loan repayments and maturing investments to meet its liquidity needs. The Bank’s membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System provides additionally liquidity. The matching of long-term receivables and liabilities helps the Company reduce its sensitivity to interest rate changes. The Company reviews its interest rate gap periodically and makes adjustments as needed.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had a negative cumulative Gap Rate Sensitivity Ratio of 34.49% for the one year re-pricing period, compared with a negative cumulative Gap Rate Sensitivity of 34.19% at December 31, 2010. This negative gap position generally indicates that earnings would improve in a declining interest rate environment as liabilities re-price more quickly than assets. Conversely, earnings would probably decrease in periods during which interest rates are increasing. However, in actual practice, this may not be the case as deposits may not re-price concurrently with changes in rates within the general economy. Management constantly monitors the Company’s interest rate risk and has decided the current position is acceptable for a well-capitalized community bank operating in a rural environment.

Table II contains an analysis, which shows the re-pricing opportunities of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as of September 30, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, require new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310) – Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” The new disclosure guidance significantly expands the existing requirements and will lead to greater transparency into an entity’s exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements. The extensive new disclosures of information as of the end of a reporting period became effective for both interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Specific disclosures regarding activity that occurred before the issuance of the ASU, such as the allowance roll forward and modification disclosures, were required for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangible – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” The guidance requires pro forma disclosure for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma information should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-29 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Final Rule No. 33-9002, “Interactive Data to Improve Financial Reporting.” The rule requires companies to submit financial statements in extensible business reporting language (XBRL) format with their SEC filings on a phased-in schedule. Large accelerated filers and foreign large accelerated filers using U.S. GAAP were required to provide interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2010. All remaining filers are required to provide interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2011. The Company complied with this Rule beginning with the filing of the June 30, 2011 Form 10-Q.

In March 2011, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 114. This SAB revises or rescinds portions of the interpretive guidance included in the codification of the Staff Accounting Bulletin Series. This update is intended to make the relevant interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting guidance issued as a part of the FASB’s Codification. The principal changes involve revision or removal of accounting guidance references and other conforming changes to ensure consistency of referencing through the SAB Series. The effective date for SAB 114 is March 28, 2011. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310) – A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” The amendments in this ASU clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession to a debtor. They also clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulty. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. Retrospective application to the beginning of the annual period of adoption for modifications occurring on or after the beginning of the annual adoption period is required. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered to be impaired. For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The Company has adopted ASU 2011-02 and included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) – Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” The amendments in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and IASB to develop a single, converged fair value framework on how (not when) to measure fair value and what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements. The ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP (Topic 820), with many of the amendments made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with prospective application. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The objective of this ASU is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The single statement of comprehensive income should include the components of net income, a total for net income, the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present all the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income.

 

37

---

The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, the option for an entity to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects, or the calculation or reporting of earnings per share. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require transition disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2011, the SEC issued Final Rule No. 33-9250, “Technical Amendments to Commission Rules and Forms related to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.” The SEC has adopted technical amendments to various rules and forms under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Investment Company Act of 1940. These revisions were necessary to conform those rules and forms to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The technical amendments include revision of certain rules in Regulation S-X, certain items in Regulation S-K, and various rules and forms prescribed under the Securities Act, Exchange Act and Investment Company Act. The Release was effective as of August 12, 2011. The adoption of the release did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangible – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” The amendments in this ASU permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors related to goodwill to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill test described in Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-08 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
