Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

On September 4, 2009, Hometown Bankshares Corporation (the “Company”) acquired all outstanding stock of Hometown Bank (the “Bank”) in an exchange for shares of the Registrant on a one-for-one basis to become a single-bank holding company with the Bank becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Bank was organized and incorporated under the laws of the State of Virginia on November 9, 2004 and commenced operations on November 14, 2005. The Bank currently serves Roanoke City, Virginia, the County of Roanoke, Virginia, the City of Salem, Virginia, Christiansburg, Virginia, and surrounding areas. As a state chartered bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve Board.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and for the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 included herein, have been prepared by HomeTown Bankshares Corporation, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The first quarter of 2012 included the recognition of cumulative deferred tax assets. The amount of the net tax benefit recognized in the first quarter is a non-recurring, cumulative adjustment that includes the net tax benefit generated from prior years, as well as the current year. The results for the three months ended March 31,2012, are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the calendar year. Management believes that all other interim adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. In the opinion of management, the information furnished in the interim consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such interim periods. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto as of December 31, 2011, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company follow generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the financial services industry.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary HomeTown Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions associated with the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary have been eliminated.

Our accounting policies and basic principles have not changed since the summary disclosure of these in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please refer to the Form 10-K for these policies.

Note 2. Investment Securities

The amortized cost and fair value of securities available for sale as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, are as follows:


(Dollars In Thousands)	March 31, 2012
	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Estimated Fair Value
U. S. Government agency securities	$	29,525	$	538	$	(29	)	$	30,034
Mortgage-backed securities		31,686		604		(4	)		32,286
Municipal securities		9,500		378		(90	)		9,788

	$	70,711	$	1,520	$	(123	)	$	72,108


(Dollars In Thousands)	December 31, 2011
	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Estimated Fair Value
U. S. Government agency securities	$	33,558	$	480	$	(16	)	$	34,022
Mortgage-backed securities		26,673		495		(19	)		27,149
Municipal securities		7,897		235		(96	)		8,036

	$	68,128	$	1,210	$	(131	)	$	69,207

U.S. Government and federal agency securities. The unrealized losses on 10 of the Company’s investments in obligations of the U.S. government were caused by increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the securities were purchased. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012.

Mortgage-backed securities. The unrealized losses in 4 of the Company’s investments in government-sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities were caused by increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the securities were purchased. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012.

Municipal securities. The unrealized losses on the Company’s 9 investments in obligations of municipal securities were caused by increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the securities were purchased. All municipal securities are investment grade. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012.

The following tables demonstrate the unrealized loss position of securities available for sale at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

	$	12,529	$	(126	)	$	725	$	(5	)	$	13,254	$	(131	)

There are 23 debt securities with fair values totaling $12.5 million considered temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, the Company does not consider any bond in an unrealized loss position to be other than temporarily impaired.

The Company had no realized gain or loss on sales of securities in the first quarter of 2012 and realized a $4 thousand gain on sales of its available for sale securities for the period ended March 31, 2011.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of investment securities available for sale at March 31, 2012, by contractual maturity are as follows:


(Dollars In Thousands)	Amortized Cost		Estimated Fair Value
Less than one year	$	—	$	—

Included in certain loan categories in the impaired loans table above are troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 there were 3 loans classified as impaired TDRs totaling $8.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively. At March 31, 2012, one of the TDRs was included in 30 to 59 days past due. The past due status was considered when evaluating the loan, and the specific reserve was increased $140 thousand. The others were performing in accordance with their restructured terms. None of the 3 TDR loans were on nonaccrual status. At December 31, 2011, all were performing in accordance with their restructured terms and none were on nonaccrual status. The amount of the valuation allowance related to total TDRs was $367 thousand at March 31, 2012, and $277 thousand as of December 31, 2011.

As a result of adopting the amendments in ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310) – A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring,” The Company reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption (January 1, 2011) to determine whether they are considered TDRs under the amended guidance using review procedures in effect at that time.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, no loans were modified in a TDR.

Management considers troubled debt restructurings and subsequent defaults in restructured loans in the determination of the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses. When identified as a TDR, a loan is evaluated for potential loss based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs if the loan is collateral dependent. Loans identified as TDRs frequently are on non-accrual status at the time of the restructuring and, in some cases, partial charge-offs may have already been taken against the loan and a specific allowance may have already been established for the loan. As a result of any modification as a TDR, the specific reserve associated with the loan may be increased. Additionally, loans modified in a TDR are closely monitored for delinquency as an early indicator of possible future defaults. If loans modified in a TDR subsequently default, the Company evaluates the loan for possible further impairment. As a result, any specific allowance may be increased, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the total allowance balance, or partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan. Management exercises significant judgment in developing estimates for potential losses associated with TDRs.

Note 5. Stock Based Compensation

The Company has a 2005 Stock Option Plan (the Plan) pursuant to which the Company’s Board of Directors may grant stock options to directors, officers and employees. The Plan authorizes grants of options to purchase up to 550,000 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock. Accordingly, options for the purchase of 485,760 shares of authorized common stock have been issued under the Plan and 64,240 shares of authorized common stock are available for issue under the Plan. There are options for 485,760 shares granted currently outstanding as of March 31, 2012, of which, all options are vested. All stock options have been granted with an exercise price equal to the stock’s fair market value at the date of the grant. As of March 31, 2012, no options have been exercised. The Company recorded compensation expense of $7 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and $11 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding stock options was $0 at March 31, 2012. The weighted average remaining contractual term of outstanding options was 4.3 years at March 31, 2012.

The Board of Directors adopted a Restricted Stock Plan (“the Plan”) in September 2009 whereby 120,000 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock was set aside to be granted by the Board of Directors in its discretion. The principal purpose of the Plan was to make shares available for issue to the executive officers of the Company and the Bank in payment of incentives earned under the Incentive Compensation Plan. Because the Company is a TARP participant, the Company’s most highly paid employee cannot be paid a cash bonus. However, the Treasury regulations permit payment of such a bonus in restricted stock. Even though the restriction would only apply to the CEO in the case of the Company and the Bank, each of the executive officers of the Company and the Bank have elected to take their bonuses in stock rather than cash.

The restrictions attached to stock issued under the Plan restrict transfer of the shares during the time TARP funding is outstanding and provide for vesting over a five-year period. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company issued 20,971 shares of stock under the Plan. None were issued during 2011.

The remaining unamortized compensation expense for restricted stock was $119 thousand at March 31, 2012 and will be recognized over the next 4.9 years. All compensation expense for stock options has been recognized.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurement

The Company uses a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on these two types of inputs are as follows:

Level 1-Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

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

Level 3-Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.

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

Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. 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).

Derivative assets: Derivative assets 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 assets by using pricing models that considers observable market data (Level 2).

Derivative liabilities: Derivative liabilities 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 liabilities by using pricing models that considers observable market data (Level 2).

The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or writedowns 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: 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 statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of appraisals over two years old (Level 3) involve applying discount factors of between 5 and 20 percent based on the condition of the property and management’s assessment of current marketability of the property. 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 Statements of Income.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO): Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to OREO. Subsequently, OREO is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair market value less selling costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the OREO as nonrecurring Level 2. When the appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the OREO as nonrecurring Level 3.

The following table summarizes the Company’s assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.


(Dollars In Thousands)			Carrying value at March 31, 2012

Impaired loans	$	1,068	Discounted appraised value	Selling cost	5% -10%
				Discount for lack of marketability and age of appraisal	0% - 10%

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and due from banks: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and due from banks approximate their fair values.

Federal funds sold: Federal funds sold consist of overnight loans to other financial institutions and mature within one to three days. Management believes the carrying value of federal funds sold approximates estimated market value.

Available-for-sale and restricted equity securities: Fair values for securities, excluding restricted equity securities, are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying values of restricted equity securities approximate fair values, based on the redemption provisions of the entities.

Loans receivable: For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying amounts. The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Deposit liabilities: The fair values disclosed for demand and savings deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates of deposit to a schedule of aggregated contractual maturities on such time deposits.

Short term borrowings: Short term borrowings consist of overnight borrowings and mature within one to three days.

Management believes the carrying value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximates estimated market value.

FHLB borrowings: The fair values for long term borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on long term borrowings to the contractual maturities on such long term borrowings.

Accrued interest: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and payable approximates its fair value.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments: The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of loan commitments and standby letters of credit were deemed to be immaterial.

The carrying amounts and approximate fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Forward-looking Statements

HomeTown Bankshares makes forward-looking statements in this report. These forward-looking statements may include: statements of goals, intentions, earnings expectations, and other expectations; estimates of risks and of future costs and benefits; assessments of probable loan and lease losses; assessments of market risk; and statements of the ability to achieve financial and other goals. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project” and other similar words and expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company does not assume any duty and does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements. Because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those that the Company anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and future results could differ materially from historical performance.

The Company’s forward-looking statements are subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties: general economic conditions and trends, either nationally or locally; conditions in the securities markets; changes in interest rates; changes in deposit flows, and in the demand for deposit, loan, and investment products and other financial services; changes in real estate values; changes in the quality or composition of the Company’s loan or investment portfolios; changes in competitive pressures among financial institutions or from non-financial institutions; the Company’s ability to retain key members of management; changes in legislation, regulation, and policies; and a variety of other matters which, by their nature, are subject to significant uncertainties. The Company provides greater detail regarding some of these factors in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company’s forward-looking statements may also be subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those that it may discuss elsewhere in this report or in its other filings with the SEC.

The following is a discussion of factors that significantly affected the financial condition and results of operations of HomeTown Bankshares Corporation. This discussion should be read in connection with the financial statements presented herein.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues and expenses.

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 principles of accounting: (i) that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and are capable of estimation and (ii) that losses on impaired loans be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level, which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

The amount of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans, economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the portfolio. Management reviews the past due reports and risk-rated loans and discusses individually the loans on these reports with the responsible loan officers. Management uses these tools and provides a detailed quarterly analysis of the allowance based on our historical loan loss experience, risk-rated loans, past dues, concentrations of credit, unsecured loans, loan exceptions, and the economic trend. These are generally grouped by homogeneous loan pools. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present value of estimated cash flows. This allowance, then, is designated as a specific reserve. Although management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, because of uncertainties associated with local economic conditions, collateral values, and future cash flows on impaired loans, it is reasonably possible that a material change could occur in the allowance for loan losses in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Changes in the allowance relating to impaired loans are charged or credited to the provision for loan losses. Past due status is determined based on contractual terms.

Discussion of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

The Company had net income of $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared with net income of $262 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Pre-tax earnings from operations for the first quarter of 2012 were $658 thousand compared to a pre-tax profit of $262 thousand for the same period a year ago. The recognition of deferred tax assets added a net tax benefit of $2.7 million to the pre-tax operating profit of $658 thousand for net income of $3.4 million. Deferred tax assets represent future potential tax deductions that result from timing differences between tax laws and generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Recognition of the deferred tax assets requires positive evidence of sufficient future taxable income to realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset, according to GAAP. After preferred dividends of $152 thousand, net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2012 was $3.2 million compared to $111 thousand for the same quarter last year. On a per share basis, earnings from operations available to common shareholders were $.09 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Recognition of $2.9 million of deferred tax assets added $.90 per common share for total earnings per common share of $.99 for the first quarter of 2012.

The $396 thousand improvement in the pre-tax earnings position was due mainly to improved net interest income. Net interest income increased $344 thousand or 13% from $2.7 million in the first three months of 2011 to $3.1 million for the same period in 2012. The net interest margin was 3.77% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 3.29% for the first quarter of 2011. The 48 basis point improvement in the margin was due primarily to lower rates paid on deposits in the lower interest rate environment. The growth of lower cost demand deposits and a corresponding reduction in funding costs also contributed to the improved margin.

The provision for loan losses was $190 thousand for the first three months of 2012 compared to $248 thousand for the same period in 2011. No loans were charged-off during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to charge-offs of $398 thousand during the first three months of 2011.

In the first three months of 2012, noninterest income totaled $262 thousand, an increase of $80 thousand or 44% over the same period in the prior year. Mortgage loan brokerage fees accounted for $50 thousand of the $80 thousand increase. Mortgage loan brokerage fees totaled $74 for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $24 thousand last year, as the result of the Company’s expansion of mortgage operations. Service charges on deposit accounts were $74 thousand year to date through March 31, 2012, an increase of $12 thousand or 19% over the same period in the prior year due to the growth of demand deposit accounts. Other income totaled $77 thousand for the first quarter of 2012 and was $19 thousand higher than the same period last year, due largely to increased interchange fee income resulting from the higher volume of deposits.

Noninterest expense increased $86 thousand or 3.6% to $2.5 million for the three months ended on March 31, 2012, when compared to the same period in 2011. Discretionary spending on advertising and marketing was up $45 thousand or 60% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011. Other real estate owned expenses rose $32 thousand or 43.8% due to the carrying costs of a higher level of foreclosed properties. Data processing expense was up $30 thousand or 22% for the first three months of 2012 compared to the same period last year due to higher costs associated with software enhancements and upgrading of the core processor in mid-2011. Other expenses were $317 thousand and $222 thousand for the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Effective January 1, 2012, the Board adopted a compensation plan for its non-employee members. The first quarter of 2012 includes $56 thousand for fees earned by the board of directors. The Company realized the benefit of favorable variances in several noninterest expense categories, which partially offset the aforementioned increases. FDIC insurance was $121 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012, down $68 thousand or 36% from the same period in 2011 due to overall decreases in assessment rates. Losses on sales and writedowns of other real estate totaled $3 thousand year to date March 31, 2012, down $15 thousand from the $18 thousand recognized in 2011. Bank franchise taxes for the first quarter of 2012 were $36 thousand, $20 thousand or 36% less than the prior year. The Commonwealth of Virginia avoids double taxation by allowing for the deduction of real estate property in determining net taxable capital subject to the bank franchise tax. The amount of property subject to real estate taxes is up over the prior year due to the increase in foreclosed properties held by the bank. The real estate taxes on foreclosed properties are included in other real estate owned expenses and accounted for the majority of the $32 thousand dollar increase discussed previously.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company recognized deferred tax assets resulting in an income tax benefit of $2.9 million and began recording tax expense on current period income before taxes. The decision to record deferred tax assets was based on an assessment of the Company’s profitable operations over the last five quarters and projections of future taxable income. The projections of future taxable income include provisions for loans losses based on the Company’s provision expense trended over the last five quarters of operations and an assessment of the credit risk present in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2012.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2.7 million comprised of recognition of deferred tax assets of $2.9 million as of January 1, 2012 and income tax expense of $200 thousand on net income before income taxes of $658 thousand. No income tax expense was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as the Company was not recording deferred income tax expense or benefit at that time.

Financial Condition

At March 31, 2012, the Company had total assets of $362 million compared to $361 million at December 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, assets were comprised principally of loans, cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, and investment securities. Net loans totaled $245 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Fed funds sold decreased $3.8 million to $6.6 million from year end 2011 to March 31, 2012, as excess liquidity was invested in securities available for sale which rose $2.9 million during the same time frame. As discussed previously, the Company, based on the increased likelihood of being able to realize the benefit of reducing future taxable income by the amount of prior year net operating loss carry forwards and other timing differences, recognized a net deferred tax asset in the first quarter on 2012. At March 31, 2012, net deferred tax assets were $2.5 million compared to none in the prior year.

The Company’s liabilities at March 31, 2012 totaled $326 million compared to $328 million at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $1.7 million or .5%. Interest-bearing deposits decreased by $3.6 million or 1.3%, while noninterest-bearing deposits were up $1.7 thousand or 6.3% from year end 2011 to March 31, 2012.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had stockholders’ equity of $35.4 million and $33.1 million, respectively, an increase of $2.3 million or 6.9%. Changes to stockholders’ equity in the first quarter included net income of $3.4 million, partially offset by the payment of $934 thousand in accumulated dividends on the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) preferred stock. Stock awarded to executives increased stockholder’s equity an additional $6.7 thousand.

On September 18, 2009, as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury pursuant to which the Company issued 10 thousand shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A for a purchase price of $10 million in cash and issued a warrant to purchase 374.37437 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B for a per share price of $1.00 per share, which was exercised immediately. Accumulated other comprehensive income net of tax, decreased $157 thousand from $1.1 million at December 31, 2011 to $922 thousand at March 31, 2012. Year to date March 31, 2012, unrealized gains on securities available for sale increased $318 thousand.

Management believes the Company has sufficient capital to fund its operations. At March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements. Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity on a short-term basis to meet any funding needs it may have, and expects that its long term liquidity needs can be achieved through deposit growth, however there can be no assurance that such growth will develop.

Non-performing Assets

Non-performing assets consist of loans past-due ninety days or more and still accruing interest, non-accrual loans and repossessed and foreclosed assets. At March 31, 2012, there was one loan for $462 thousand that was past due ninety days or more and still accruing. A plan had been entered into with the borrower to be current within 90 days. There were no loans past due ninety days or more and still accruing interest at December 31, 2011. Nonaccrual loans totaled $2.0 million at the end of the first quarter of 2012 and at the end of 2011.

The major classifications of other real estate owned in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:


(Dollars In Thousands)	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Construction:
Residential	$	1,519	$	1,447
Land acquisition, development & commercial		3,716		3,805
Real Estate:
Residential		404		642
Commercial		1,789		1,919
Commercial, industrial & agricultural		1,215		1,215
Equity lines		564		564

	$	9,207	$	9,592

The activity in other real estate owned for the first quarter of 2012 was as follows:


(Dollars In Thousands)	Other Real Estate Owned			Valuation Allowance			Net
Balance at the beginning of the year	$	9,893		$	(331	)	$	9,562
Writedowns		—			—			—
Sales		(492	)		137			(355	)

Balance at the end of the year	$	9,401		$	(194	)	$	9,207

Losses on sales of other real estate owned totaled $3 thousand in the first quarter of 2012.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions.

Specific loss reserves for loans individually evaluated for impairment totaled $1.0 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $629 thousand at December 31, 2011, an increase of $399 thousand. Impaired loans declined $108 thousand from $15.9 million at December 31, 2011 to $15.8 million at March 31, 2012. Based on the general reserves established on loans collectively evaluated for impairment and the specific reserves for loans individually evaluated for impairment, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $190 thousand in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $248 thousand in the same quarter of 2011. Based on this evaluation, the percentage of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.67% at March 31, 2012 and 1.60% at December 31, 2011.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents the ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or with borrowings from correspondent banks or other deposit markets. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, investment securities and loans maturing within one year. As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and to meet its customers’ borrowing needs.

At March 31, 2012, cash, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, loans maturing within one year, and expected maturities, calls and principal repayments from the securities portfolio within one year totaled $73.1 million. At March 31, 2012, 22% or $54.0 million of the loan portfolio would mature within one year. At March 31, 2012, non-deposit sources of available funds totaled $26.1 million, which included $7.1 million immediately available from FHLB. During the first three months of 2012 there was no borrowing activity.

Capital Requirements

The maintenance of appropriate levels of capital is a priority and is continually monitored. Banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum capital ratios. Failure to meet minimum capital ratios can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. The following are the Company’s and Bank’s capital ratios:


(in thousands except for percentages)	Actual					Minimum Capital Requirement					Minimum To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio
March 31, 2012
Total Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets)
Consolidated	$	37,750		14.3	%	$	21,102		8.0	%		N/A		N/A
HomeTown Bank	$	35,167		13.3	%	$	21,102		8.0	%	$	26,377		10.0	%

Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. These financial instruments involve commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The same credit policy is used in making commitments as is used for on-balance-sheet risk.

At March 31, 2012 outstanding commitments to extend credit including letters of credit were $51.3 million. There are no commitments to extend credit on impaired loans.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no breach of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments may expire without ever being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash outlays for the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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 were 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. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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 International Accounting Standards Board (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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The amendments were effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with prospective application. The Company has included the required disclosures in 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. 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 were effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011. The amendments do not require transition disclosures. The Company has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) – Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” This ASU requires entities to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” The amendments are being made to allow the Board time to redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. While the Board is considering the operational concerns about the presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments and the needs of financial statement users for additional information about reclassification adjustments, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by ASU 2011-12, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. Public entities should apply these requirements for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.
