Note 1  -  General

The consolidated financial statements of Highlands Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) include its wholly-owned subsidiary, Highlands Union Bank (the “Bank”).  The statements also include Highlands Union Insurance Services, Inc., Highlands Union Financial Services, Inc., and Blue Ridge Hospitality, LLC, which are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Bank. Blue Ridge Hospitality, LLC, was formed in June 2014 to hold and manage certain properties acquired by the Bank through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. The consolidated financial statements of Highlands Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) conform to United States generally accepted accounting principles and to banking industry practices. The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 has been extracted from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”). The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the 2013 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(in thousands, except share, per share and percentage data)

Loans are considered delinquent when payments have not been made according to the terms of the contract. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection.  Credit card loans and other personal loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due.   In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
 
The following is a summary of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

(1)  Quality--This grade is reserved for the Bank’s top quality loans. These loans have excellent sources of repayment, with no significant identifiable risk of collection.  Generally, loans assigned this rating will demonstrate the following characteristics:
 
·  
Conformity in all respects with Bank policy, guidelines, underwriting standards, and Federal and State regulations (no exceptions of any kind).
 
·  
Documented historical cash flow that meets or exceeds required minimum Bank guidelines, or that can be supplemented with verifiable cash flow from other sources.
 
·  
Adequate secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidity, liquidation of collateral, or liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor.
 
For existing loans, all of the requirements above apply plus all payments have been made as agreed, current financial information on all borrowers and guarantors has been obtained and analyzed, and overall business operating trends are either stable or improving.
 
   Satisfactory-This grade is given to performing loans. These loans have adequate sources of repayment, with little identifiable risk of collection. Loans assigned this rating will demonstrate the following characteristics:
 
·  
General conformity to the Bank's policy requirements, product guidelines and underwriting standards.  Any exceptions that are identified during the underwriting and approval process have been adequately mitigated by other factors.
 
·  
Documented historical cash flow that meets or exceeds required minimum Bank guidelines, or that can be supplemented with verifiable cash flow from other sources.

(in thousands, except share, per share and percentage data)
 
·  
Adequate secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidity, liquidation of collateral, or liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor
 
For existing loans, all of the requirements outlined above will apply, plus all payments have been made as agreed, current financial information on all borrowers and guarantors has been obtained and analyzed, and overall business operating trends are stable with any declines considered minor and temporary.
 
Acceptable-This grade is given to loans that show signs of weakness in either adequate sources of repayment or collateral, but have demonstrated mitigating factors that minimize the risk of delinquency or loss.  Loans assigned this rating may demonstrate some or all of the following characteristics:
 
·  
Additional exceptions to the Bank's policy requirements, product guidelines or underwriting standards that present a higher degree of risk to the Bank.  Although the combination and/or severity of identified exceptions is greater, all exceptions have been properly mitigated by other factors.
 
·  
Unproved, insufficient or marginal primary sources of repayment that appear sufficient to service the debt at this time.  Repayment weaknesses may be due to minor operational issues, financial trends, or reliance on projected (not historic) performance.
 
·  
Marginal or unproven secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidation of collateral and liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor.
 
For existing loans, payments have generally been made as agreed with only minor and isolated delinquencies.
 
Special Mention -This grade is given to Watch List loans that include the following characteristics:
 
·  
Loans with underwriting guideline tolerances and/or exceptions with no identifiable mitigating factors.
 
·  
Extending loans that are currently performing satisfactorily but with potential weaknesses that may, if not corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Bank's position at some future date. Potential weaknesses are the result of deviations from prudent lending practices.
 
·  
Loans where adverse economic conditions that develop subsequent to the loan origination do not jeopardize liquidation of the debt, but do substantially increase the level of risk may also warrant this rating.
 
Substandard-Loans in this category are characterized by deterioration in quality exhibited by any number of well-defined weaknesses requiring corrective action. A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt; they are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
 
 The weaknesses may include, but are not limited to:
 
·  
High debt to worth ratios and or declining or negative earnings trends
 
·  
Declining or inadequate liquidity
 
·  
Improper loan structure  or questionable repayment sources
 
·  
Lack of well-defined secondary repayment source, and
 
·  
Unfavorable competitive comparisons.
 
Such loans are no longer considered to be adequately protected due to the borrower's declining net worth, lack of earnings capacity, declining collateral margins and/or unperfected collateral positions. A possibility of loss of a portion of the loan balance cannot be ruled out. The repayment ability of the borrower is marginal or weak and the loan may have exhibited excessive overdue status or extensions and/or renewals.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except share, per share and percentage data)
 
Doubtful -Loans classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified Substandard, plus the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable. The ability of the borrower to service the debt is extremely weak, overdue status is constant, the debt has been placed on non-accrual status, and no definite repayment schedule exists.
 
However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur which would salvage the debt. Among these events are:
 
·  
Injection of capital;
 
·  
Alternative financing; and/or,
 
·  
Liquidation of assets or the pledging of additional collateral.

A loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established on loans for which it is probable that the full collection of principal and interest is in doubt. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment using one of several methods, including collateral value based on recent appraisal and /or tax assessment value, liquidation value and/or discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. On a quarterly basis, the ALLL methodology begins with the determination of individually impaired loans. All loans that are rated “7” (Doubtful) are assessed as impaired based on the expectation that the full collection of principal and interest is in doubt. All loans that are rated “6” (Substandard) or are expected to be downgraded to “6”, require additional analysis to determine whether they may be impaired. All loans that are rated “5” (Special Mention) are presumed not to be impaired. However, “5” rated loans with the following characteristics warrant further analysis before completing an assessment of impairment:
 
•  
A loan is 60 days or more delinquent on scheduled principal or interest;
•  
A loan is presently in an unapproved over advanced position;
•  
A loan is newly modified; or
•  
A loan is expected to be modified.

The Company’s credit administration personnel and senior financial officers are responsible for tracking, coding, and monitoring loans that become Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”). Concessions are made to existing borrowers in the form of modified interest rates and / or payment terms. The loans are segregated for regulatory and external reporting. Each specific TDR is reviewed to determine if the accrual of interest should be discontinued and also reviewed for impairment. The Company’s senior credit administration officer performs this analysis on a quarterly basis in addition to determining any other loans that are impaired within the loan portfolio. The Company had a total of $10,767 and $17,810 of loans categorized as troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Interest is accrued on TDRs if the loan is otherwise not impaired and the full collection of principal and interest under the modified terms is still deemed probable.

In the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management considers troubled debt restructurings and subsequent defaults in these restructurings by adjusting the loan grades of such loans. Defaults resulting in charge-offs affect the historical loss experience ratios which are a component of the allowance calculation. Additionally, specific reserves may be established on restructured loans evaluated individually.
 
The following tables summarize the troubled debt restructurings during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

The loan review function performs various tasks that are utilized to discover weaknesses within the loan portfolio.  These include annual reviews on loan relationships that are greater than $500,000.  The relationship review includes a discussion on the collateral, repayment history, guarantor(s) financial position, and debt service coverage on an individual and global level.  These reviews are based primarily upon federal tax returns for cash flow determination, internally prepared interim statements and personal financial statements.  Debt service coverage (DSC) is calculated on each individual customer, or guarantor, as well as the aggregate or global DSC.  The DSC is discounted to determine a “stressed” DSC.  Collateral evaluation includes an inspection of the collateral file to determine if the Bank is indeed properly securitized.  Collateral is discounted, when appropriate, to determine a “stressed” loan to value ratio.   In addition to annual loan relationship reviews, quarterly reviews on all loan relationships over $100,000 that are graded Substandard, Doubtful and Loss are also completed.  This quarterly review process is comprised of a shortened version of the full relationship review.  These quarterly reviews include a discussion on personal credit management, DSC and LTV.  In addition to these quarterly reviews of  non-pass watch list relationships, a semi-annual review is conducted on all Special Mention loan relationships that are on the watch list.  These reviews are prepared in the same manner as the quarterly non-pass relationship reviews.  The appropriateness of the risk rating of each relationship is assessed, with changes to the risk rating being made by the Senior Credit Review Officer, when deemed appropriate. Other measures taken to determine potential problem relationships include the monthly preparation of the watch list.  During that process, past due loan reports are reviewed, as well as any other information that might be presented by loan officers, regarding a particular loan relationship that is exhibiting stress.  To be considered as a watch list relationship, distinct characteristics must be exhibited.  These include, but are not limited to late payments greater than 60 days, a low DSC calculation, bankruptcy filings, casualty losses, or other issues that would cause a perceived increase in the risk of loss to the Company. The final segment of the loan review process involves special reviews.  These reviews target specific segments of the loan portfolio, i.e. credit cards, equity lines, consumer loans, construction loans, and other specific segments of the loan portfolio that management wishes to have reviewed.  However, currently, the primary emphasis of the loan review function is loan relationship review work, and watch list management.

The segments of the Company’s loan portfolio are disaggregated to a level that allows management to monitor risk and performance. In reviewing risk, management has determined there to be several different risk categories within the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses consists of amounts applicable to: (i) the commercial loan portfolio; (ii) the commercial real estate loan portfolio; (iii) the construction loan portfolio; (iv) the consumer loan portfolio; and, (v) the residential loan portfolio. The commercial real estate (“CRE”) loan segment is further disaggregated into two classes. Non-owner occupied CRE loans, which include loans secured by non-owner occupied nonfarm nonresidential properties, generally have a greater risk profile than all other CRE loans, which include multifamily structures and owner-occupied commercial structures. The construction loan segment is further disaggregated into two classes. One-to-four family residential construction loans are generally made to individuals for the acquisition of and/or construction on a lot or lots on which a residential dwelling is to be built. Commercial construction loans are generally made to developers or investors for the purpose of acquiring, developing and constructing residential or commercial structures. Construction lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term permanent financing.

The following describes the Company’s basic methodology for computing its ALLL.

On a quarterly basis, the ALLL methodology begins with the identification of loans subject to ASC 310.  All loans that are rated “7” (Doubtful) are assessed as impaired based on the expectation that the full collection of principal and interest is in doubt. All loans that are rated “6” (Substandard) or are expected to be downgraded to “6”, require additional analysis to determine whether they may be impaired under ASC 310. All loans that are rated “5” (Special Mention) are presumed not to be impaired. However, “5” rated loans, together with any Troubled Debt Restructured (TDR) loan, may warrant further analysis before completing an assessment of impairment.

For ASC 310 loans that are individually evaluated and found to be impaired (primarily those designated as Substandard and Doubtful), the associated ALLL will be based upon one of the three impairment measurement methods specified within ASC 310:
 
(1)  
Present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate;
(2)  
Loan’s observable market price; or
(3)  
Fair value of the collateral.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except share, per share and percentage data)

To determine the amount of loan loss exposure for the impaired ASC 310 loans, the value of collateral for secured loans is evaluated to determine the current value and potential exposure.  The collateral value is adjusted for its age and condition, and, for real estate, adjusted for condition, location, and age of the most current appraisal.  If the adjusted value of the collateral is less than the current principal balance, the difference is designated as direct exposure for loan loss calculations.  The total balance of unsecured loans is considered as direct exposure.

 
ASC 450 Loan Loss:

For all other loans, including individual loans determined not to be impaired under ASC 310, the associated ALLL is calculated in accordance with ASC 450 that provides for estimated credit losses likely to be realized on groups of loans with similar risk characteristics. The Company uses standard call report categories to segregate loans into groups with similar risk characteristics. Estimated credit losses reflect significant factors that affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. Key factors that influence risk within the Company’s loan portfolio are divided into three major categories:
 
(1) Historical Loss Factor: To calculate the anticipated loan loss in each call report category for ASC 450 loans, the Company begins with the net loss in each category for each of the last twelve quarters. The Company uses a rolling twelve quarter weighted historical loss average where the most recent quarters are weighted heavier than the earlier quarters so that the calculation reflects current risk trends within the portfolio.  The weighting used by the Company is similar to the Rule of 78’s with the net losses of the most recent quarter weighted at 12/78ths and those in the first quarter in the twelve quarter period weighted at 1/78th.   Therefore, the net losses of the most recent year represent approximately 54% of the calculation compared with 33% if a simple average of losses over the three-year period was used.  The total of weighted factors for each call report category is applied to the current outstanding loan balance in each category to calculate expected loss based on historical data for a group of loans with similar risk characteristics.  The same weighting is applied to all loan types.
 
(2) External economic factors:  Economic conditions have a significant impact on Company’s loan portfolio because deteriorating conditions can adversely impact both collateral values and the customer’s ability to service debt.  Management has selected the following external factors as indicators of economic conditions:
 
a.  
National GDP Growth Rate
b.  
Local Unemployment Rates
c.  
The Prime Rate
 
  The values for external factors are updated on a quarterly basis based on current economic data.
 
(3) Internal process factors:  Internal factors that influence loss rates as a result of risk management and control practices include the following:
 
d.  
Past-Due Loans
e.  
Non-Accrual Loans
f.  
CRE Concentrations
g.  
Loan Volume Level
h.  
Level and Trend of Classified Loans
 
  The values for internal factors are updated on a quarterly basis based on current portfolio metrics.

Once the quarterly ALLL is computed, the calculations are reviewed by the Company’s credit administration committee which is comprised of the CEO, CFO, and Senior Lending Officers, including Credit Review personnel.  The Company’s controller also performs a detailed review of the computations, estimates, etc. included in the ALLL calculation. The ALLL is then reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.

Note 3  -  Income Taxes

Income tax expense (benefit) for the six months ended June 30 is different than the amount computed by applying the statutory corporate federal income tax rate of 34% to income before taxes.  The reasons for these differences are as follows:

   
2014
   
2013
 
             
Tax expense at statutory rate
  $ 128     $ 300  
Reduction in taxes from:
               
Tax-exempt interest
    (84 )     (95 )
Valuation adjustment for deferred tax assets
    (1,000 )     (2000 )
Other, net
    (74 )     (67 )
                 
Income tax expense
  $ (1,030 )   $ (1,862 )

In the second quarter of both 2014 and 2013, the Company reversed a portion of the valuation allowance that was established against the deferred tax assets (“DTA”) during the fourth quarter of 2011. The valuation allowance was established during 2011 due to uncertainty at the time regarding the ability to generate sufficient future taxable income to fully realize the benefit of the net DTA. Subsequent to 2011, earnings performance and asset quality have improved resulting in greater expected realization of the DTA. In addition, the Company raised $16,500 million of new capital in 2014 which has allowed the Company to payoff two high rate debt instruments (Community Bankers Bank note and Trust Preferred Securities) improving future earnings potential.  As a result of these factors, the Company determined in the second quarter of 2014 to reverse $1,000 of the DTA valuation allowance. At June 30, 2014 the remaining DTA valuation allowance was $1,000. In assessing the realizability of DTA, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the DTA will not be realized. The Company evaluates the carrying amount of its DTA on a quarterly basis in accordance with the guidance provided in FASB ASC Topic 740 (“ASC 740”), in particular, applying the criteria set forth therein to determine whether it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion, or all, of the DTA will not be realized within its life cycle, based on the weight of available evidence. In most cases, the realization of the DTA is dependent upon the Company generating a sufficient level of taxable income in future periods, which can be difficult to predict.  If the Company’s forecast of taxable income within the carry forward periods available under applicable law is not sufficient to cover the amount of net deferred assets, such assets may be impaired. Management considers the reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carry-back and carry-forward periods), projected future taxable income and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment.

Note 4  - Capital Requirements

Regulators of the Company and the Bank have implemented risk-based capital guidelines which require compliance with certain minimum capital ratios as a percent of assets and other certain off-balance sheet items that are adjusted for predefined credit risk factors.  The regulatory minimum for Tier 1 and combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital ratios are 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively.  Tier 1 capital includes tangible equity reduced by goodwill and certain other intangibles.  Tier 2 capital includes portions of the allowance for loan losses, not to exceed Tier 1 capital. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital as a percentage of average total consolidated assets) of 4.0% is required. The following table presents the capital ratios for the Company and the Bank. The Company’s  June 30, 2014 capital ratios include funds received from the private placement capital raise in April of 2014.  The Bank’s June 30, 2014 capital ratios include $7,500 down-streamed to the Bank from the Company with funds received from the private placement issue.

Note 5 - Capital Securities

The Company completed a $7.5 million capital issue of 9.25% Preferred Securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) on January 23, 1998.  These Trust Preferred Securities were issued by Highlands Capital Trust I, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the debt securities, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related Trust Preferred Securities. Effective April 15, 2010, the Company began deferring interest payments on the debt securities held by Highlands Capital Trust I.  As a result, distribution payments to holders of the Trust Preferred Securities were also being deferred. The deferral period can last up to 5 years. On July 15, 2014, the Company redeemed in full the Trust Preferred Securities and paid all the deferred interest payments with proceeds received from the April 2014 private placement capital raise that is further discussed in Note 12.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Bank is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk arising in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. Those financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. At June 30, 2014, these commitments included: standby letters of credit of $439; equity lines of credit of $7,894; credit card lines of credit of $6,182; commercial real estate, construction and land development commitments of $2,188; and other unused commitments to fund interest earning assets of $22,024.

Note  8 – Fair Value

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Under ASC Topic 820 on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company groups assets and liabilities 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 fair value. These levels are:
 
 
Level 1 
 
Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
       
 
Level 2 
 
Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
       
 
Level 3 
 
Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon third party models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Company’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Recurring - Investment Securities Available for Sale

Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2. For Level 2 securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from multiple independent third party sources. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.
 
The following tables summarize the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

Non Recurring - Loans
 
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment using one of several methods, including collateral value, recent appraisal value and /or tax assessed value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral.  The Company frequently obtains appraisals prepared by external professional appraisers and applies discounts ranging from 8% to 40% depending on type of property, condition, location, etc. The Company also in certain instances, prepares internally generated valuations from on-site inspections, third-party valuation models or other information.
 
Non Recurring -Foreclosed Assets / Repossessions
 
Foreclosed assets and repossessions are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets and repossessions. Subsequently, foreclosed assets and repossessions are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices or recent appraised values of the collateral which the Company considers as nonrecurring Level 2.  When the current appraised value is not available and /or further discounted below the most recent appraised value less selling costs due to such things as absorption rates and market conditions, the Company records the foreclosed assets within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
The following table summarizes the Company’s assets at fair value on a non - recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

General
 
The Company has no liabilities carried at fair value or measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a 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.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for cash, short-term investments and federal funds sold approximates fair value.
 
Securities Available for Sale
 
Fair values are determined in the manner as described above.

Other Investments
 
Other investments include Federal Home Loan Bank stock, Federal Reserve Bank stock, Community Bankers Bank stock, and Pacific Coast Bankers Bank.  The carrying value of those securities approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of those Banks. Also included in other investments are certificates of deposit purchased from other FDIC insured banks in which the carrying amount approximates fair value.
 
Loans

The fair value of loans represent the amount at which the loans of the Bank could be exchanged on the open market, based upon the current lending rate for similar types of lending arrangements discounted over the remaining life of the loans. For fixed rate loans and for variable rate loans with infrequent re-pricing or re-pricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the cash flow analysis.

Deposits

The fair value of time deposits is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the cash flow analysis for each time deposit. Other non-maturity deposits are reported at their carrying values.
 
Other Short-Term Borrowings
 
Fair values of other short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Estimated maturity dates are also included in the calculation of fair value for these borrowings.

Long-term Debt and Capital Securities
 
Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities or established call prices are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Instruments

The amount of off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees, is considered equal to fair value.  Because of the uncertainty involved in attempting to assess the likelihood and timing of commitments being drawn upon, coupled with the lack of an established market and the wide diversity of fee structures, the Company does not believe it is meaningful to provide an estimate of fair value that differs from the given value of the commitment.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:

Note  11 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policy Update For Certain Required Disclosures

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 is intended to clarify the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carrryforward exists. This presentation had not been addressed in Topic 740 and there was diversity in reporting practices in those instances. ASU 2013-11 requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a liability and not netted against a deferred tax asset. ASU 2013-11 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Adoption by the Company is not expected to have an impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-04, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors - Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure was issued by the FASB on January 20, 2014.  The amendments are intended to clarify when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the real estate recognized.  These amendments clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either: (a) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure; or (b) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additional disclosures are required.  The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014.

Note 12 – Capital Raise

On April 16, 2014, the management and board of directors of Highlands Bankshares, Inc. announced the    completion of a $16,500 private placement capital raise. Purchasers in the private placement included outside investors, as well as certain directors and executive officers of the Company. The Company sold 2,673,249 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock at $3.50 per share, and 2,048,179 shares of Series-A convertible perpetual preferred stock at $3.50 per share. The private placement was disclosed on Form 8-K on April 16, 2014. The Company is currently conducting a rights offering to shareholders of record as of April 15, 2014, other than directors and executive officers. The rights offering will allow shareholders as of the record date to purchase up to an aggregate $3,750 of common stock at the same price of $3.50 per share. The Company immediately paid off its Holding Company Loan in the amount of $3,440 to Community Bankers Bank on April 16, 2014 with the funds received from the capital raise. The Company also received regulatory approval to payoff the remaining $3,150 of its trust preferred securities including accrued interest. The payoff totaling $4,802 was completed on July 15, 2014. The Company also down-streamed to the subsidiary Bank in June 2014 $7,500 of funds received from the capital raise.

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

The following discussion and analysis is provided to address information about the Company’s financial condition and results of operations that is not otherwise apparent from the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto or included in this report.  Reference should be made to those statements and the notes thereto for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis.
 
The Company generates a significant amount of its income from the net interest income earned by the Bank. Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income depends on the amount of interest-earning assets outstanding during the period and the interest rates earned thereon. The Company’s cost of money is a function of the average amount of deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid thereon. The quality of the assets further influences the amount of interest income lost on non-accrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses. Highlands Union Insurance Services and Highlands Union Financial Services, which are subsidiaries of Highlands Union Bank, generate fee income by providing insurance and financial service products to its clients.  Blue Ridge Hospitality, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, was formed in June 2014 to hold and manage certain properties acquired by the Bank through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.  Blue Ridge Hospitality currently owns one property (a motel) located near Knoxville, Tennessee. The property is currently being managed by a third party firm and is also listed for sale by a national marketing firm.

Critical Accounting Policy

The financial condition and results of operations presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and management’s discussion and analysis are, to a large degree, dependent upon the accounting policies of the Company.  The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.  For a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies related to its allowance for loan losses and other than temporary impairment, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Regulatory Economic Environment
 
On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law.  The Dodd-Frank Act contains significant modifications to the current bank regulatory structure and requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new rules and regulations.  While not fully determinable at this time, the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act and the rules and regulations that have been or will be promulgated there-under could significantly affect our operations, increase our operating costs and divert management resources and attention from the primary business of the Bank.
 
Formal Written Agreement
 
As discussed in Footnote 10, on October 13, 2010, the Company and Bank entered into a written agreement (“Written Agreement”) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (the “Reserve Bank”).  Under the terms of the Written Agreement, the Bank has agreed to develop and submit to the Reserve Bank for approval within the time periods specified therein written plans or programs to:

·  
strengthen board oversight of the management and operations of the Bank;
·  
strengthen credit risk management and administration;
·  
provide for the effective grading of the Bank’s loan portfolio;
·  
summarize the findings of its review of the adequacy of the staffing of its loan review function;
·  
improve the Bank’s position with respect to loans, relationships, or other assets in excess of $500,000 that currently are or in the future become past due more than 90 days, on the Bank’s problem loan list, or adversely classified in any report of examination of the Bank;
·  
review and revise the Bank’s methodology for determining the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) and maintain an adequate ALLL;
·

improve the Bank’s earnings and overall condition;
·  
revise the Bank’s information technology program;
·  
establish a disaster recovery and business continuity program; and,
·  
establish a committee to monitor compliance with all aspects of the written agreement.


Further, both the Company and the Bank have agreed to refrain from declaring or paying dividends without prior regulatory approval.  The Company has agreed that it will not take any other form of payment representing a reduction in the Bank’s capital or make any distributions of interest, principal or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without prior regulatory approval.  The Company also has agreed not to incur, increase or guarantee any debt or not to purchase or redeem any shares of its stock without prior regulatory approval.
 
The following summarizes the Company’s progress to comply with the items in the Written Agreement as of June 30, 2014.

·  
A new board oversight policy has been approved and implemented;
·  
Completed revising the Bank’s loan grading system and ALLL methodology;

Results of Operations

Results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 reflect earnings of $906 thousand and $1.41 million, respectively, compared to $2.28 million and $2.74 million for the corresponding periods in 2013.
 
Net interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 decreased $60 thousand or 1.39% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 net interest income increased $39 thousand or 0.45% as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2013.  Average interest-earning assets increased $16.70 million from the six month period ended June 30, 2013 to the current six month period, while average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $7.58 million over the same period. The tax-equivalent yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.29% for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 representing a decrease of 21 basis points from the same period in 2013.  The average balance of federal funds sold during the quarter was $71.59 million during the period. The average yield on federal funds sold was .22% during the period. The rate on average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 7 basis points to 1.23% for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 1.30% for the same period in 2013.

Total interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $185 thousand and $182 thousand million less than the comparable 2013 periods due primarily to new loan and investment securities being booked at lower rates, and existing adjustable rate loans and investment securities re-pricing at lower rates.

 
39

 

Yields on typical investment securities during the current economic cycle have decreased significantly; therefore, management has intentionally decreased its security portfolio and maintained a significant amount of cash and cash equivalents during the last four years.
 
The Company’s total interest expense decreased by $125 thousand for the three months and $221 thousand for the six months from the same periods in 2013, due in part to the overall reduction in deposit balances and the payoff of the Community Bankers Bank Holding Company Loan. Also new interest-bearing deposits are continuing to be recorded at lower rates and existing interest-bearing deposits and other liabilities are re-pricing lower as they renew.
 
During the first six months of 2014, the Company’s non-interest income decreased by $25 thousand over the corresponding period for 2013. Total non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $42 thousand over the three month period ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to an increase in commissions and fees.
 
Total non-interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 increased $191 thousand as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2013. FDIC insurance premiums remained at $660 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2014. OREO expenses, write-downs and losses on the sale of OREO and repossessions in the amount of $772 thousand increased $23 thousand for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the prior period. Salaries and employee benefits increased $231 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to an increase in personnel. Total non-interest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 increased $265 thousand compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2013.
 
In addition to FDIC insurance premiums, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, other operating expenses that exceeded 1% of total interest income and other operating income were charges for other contracted services totaling $336 thousand, software licensing and maintenance costs totaling $299 thousand, legal expenses totaling $150 thousand, other loan expenses totaling $134 thousand, and postage and freight expenses totaling $152 thousand.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, other operating expenses that exceeded 1% of total interest income and other operating income were charges for other contracted services totaling $323 thousand, software licensing and maintenance costs totaling $341 thousand, legal expenses totaling $173 thousand, bank franchise taxes totaling $150 thousand and postage and freight expenses totaling $177 thousand.
 
For the three month period ended June 30, 2014, other operating expenses that exceeded 1% of total interest income and other operating income were charges for FDIC insurance totaling $330 thousand, legal expenses totaling $117 thousand, other loan expense of $117 thousand, other contracted services totaling $184 thousand, software licensing and maintenance totaling $158 thousand, bank franchise taxes totaling $75 thousand and postage and freight expenses totaling $77 thousand.
 
For the three month period ended June 30, 2013, other operating expenses that exceeded 1% of total interest income and other operating income were charges for FDIC insurance totaling $330 thousand, legal expenses totaling $85 thousand, other contracted services totaling $172 thousand, software licensing and maintenance totaling $145 thousand, bank franchise taxes totaling $75 thousand and postage and freight expenses totaling $82 thousand.
 
Operating results of the Company when measured as a percentage of average equity reveals a decrease in return on average equity to 6.89% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 from 17.70% for the corresponding period in 2013. Return on average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 0.47% compared to 0.92% for the six months ended June 30, 2013.The provision for loan losses for the three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 totaled $631 thousand and $896 thousand, respectively, a $282 thousand increase and $328 thousand increase as compared to the corresponding periods in 2013. This increased provision during the first half of 2014 was primarily due to one significant charge-off of approximately $1 million in the Company’s Knoxville, Tennessee market.  Net

 
40

 

charge-offs (inclusive of recoveries) for the first half of 2014 were $2.04 million compared with $654 thousand for the first six months of 2013. Year–to–date net charge-offs were 0.50% and 0.16% of total loans for the periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company continually monitors the loan portfolio for signs of credit weaknesses or developing collection problems. Loan loss provisions for each period are determined after evaluating the loan portfolio and determining the level necessary to absorb current charge-offs and maintain the reserve at adequate levels.  Loan loss reserves decreased 22.95% to $5.67 million at June 30, 2014 from $7.36 million at June 30, 2013.  The Company’s allowance for loan loss reserves at June 30, 2014 decreased to 1.40% of total loans versus 1.84% at June 30, 2013.  At December 31, 2013, the allowance for loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans was 1.68%.
In the second quarter of both 2014 and 2013, the Company reversed a portion of the valuation allowance that was established against the deferred tax assets (“DTA”) during the fourth quarter of 2011. The valuation allowance was established during 2011 due to uncertainty at the time regarding the ability to generate sufficient future taxable income to fully realize the benefit of the net DTA. Subsequent to 2011, earnings performance and asset quality have improved resulting in greater expected realization of the DTA. In addition, the Company raised $16,500 million of new capital in 2014 which has allowed the Company to payoff two high rate debt instruments (Community Bankers Bank note and Trust Preferred Securities)  improving future earnings potential.  As a result of these factors, we determined in the second quarter of 2014 to reverse $1,000 of the DTA valuation allowance. At June 30, 2014 the remaining DTA valuation allowance was $1,000. In assessing the realizability of DTA, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the DTA will not be realized. The Company evaluates the carrying amount of its DTA on a quarterly basis in accordance with the guidance provided in FASB ASC Topic 740 (“ASC 740”), in particular, applying the criteria set forth therein to determine whether it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion, or all, of the DTA will not be realized within its life cycle, based on the weight of available evidence. In most cases, the realization of the DTA is dependent upon the Company generating a sufficient level of taxable income in future periods, which can be difficult to predict.  If the Company’s forecast of taxable income within the carry forward periods available under applicable law is not sufficient to cover the amount of net deferred assets, such assets may be impaired. Management considers the reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carry-back and carry-forward periods), projected future taxable income and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company also expects to significantly reduce other operating costs as a result of the additional capital. Based on the improvements in our financial condition, asset quality, and the expectation of increased profitability, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that our net DTA will be realized in future years.

Management, in conjunction with the board of directors, will continue to evaluate the carrying value of the Company’s DTA on a quarterly basis, in accordance with ASC 740, and will determine any need for a valuation allowance based upon circumstances and expectations then in existence. 

Financial Position
 
Total loans, net of deferred fees, increased from $401.02 million at June 30, 2013 to $405.59 million at June 30, 2014.  Total loans, net of fees, at December 31, 2013 were $403.79 million. The loan to deposit ratio increased from 81.86% at June 30, 2013 to 84.42% at June 30, 2014. The loan to deposit ratio at December 31, 2013 was 82.70%. Deposits at June 30, 2014 have decreased $9.43 million since June 30, 2013 and have decreased $7.83 million since December 31, 2013. During the last several years, the Company has continued to lower the interest rates paid on time deposits in a continuing effort to reduce its cost of funds. Since June  2013, interest bearing deposits (primarily time deposits) have decreased $11.12 million while non-interest bearing deposits have increased $1.68 million.
 
The Company currently has approximately $67.83 million in outstanding FHLB advances. No new advances were originated during the last 12 months. The Company secures all of its existing and future advances from the FHLB with a selected group of in-house residential and commercial real estate secured loans and a selected group of securities that are held in safekeeping by the FHLB.
 
Non-performing assets are comprised of loans on non-accrual status, loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, other real estate owned and repossessions. Non-performing assets were $18.21
 
 
41

 

million or 3.01% of total assets at June 30, 2014, compared with $18.82 million or 3.14% of total assets at December 31, 2013 and $27.21 million or 4.54% of total assets at June 30, 2013. The Company continues to focus its efforts on reducing its NPAs, primarily by reducing non accrual loans and selling OREO property.
 
The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on management's judgment and analysis of current and historical loss experience, risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, concentrations of credit and asset quality, as well as other internal and external factors, such as general economic conditions.  The internal credit review department performs pre-approval analyses of large credits and also conducts credit review activities that provide management with an early warning of loan deterioration. The senior credit administration officer prepares quarterly analyses of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. These analyses include individual loans considered impaired for direct exposure. In addition, potential losses on loan pools and pool allocations are based upon historical losses and other factors, as adjusted, for various loan types. The calculation for allowance for loan losses is reviewed by both the Credit Administration Committee and the Board of Directors.
 
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the internal credit review department as well as management determined that the Company's allowance for loan losses is sufficient and is appropriate based on the requirements of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

The Company formed a special assets committee to focus directly on selling OREO properties and reducing other non-performing assets. The committee is comprised of lending officers from all of the Bank’s three market areas. The ability to sell OREO which has been negatively affected by the current economic climate and the resulting reduction of non-performing assets, will to a large degree, depend on how quickly specific market areas rebound from the recession. Management has allocated significant resources to facilitate sales of OREO to reduce the Company’s non-performing assets. During 2013, the Company initiated a more aggressive approach to sell OREO, including conducting on-site auctions on several OREO properties. This aggressive approach resulted in reducing the Company’s OREO balance by 53% or $8,805 during the year. The Bank is actively marketing all of its property through its website, listing agents, and other marketing methods.
 
Investment securities and other investments totaled $62.17 million (market value) at June 30, 2014 which reflects an increase of $2.14 million from the December 31, 2013 total of $60.03 million. Investment securities available for sale and other investments at June 30, 2014 were comprised of mortgage backed securities / CMOs (50.15% of the total securities portfolio), municipal issues (16.70%), corporate bonds (1.43%), and SBAs pools (21.22%).  The Company’s entire securities portfolio was classified as available for sale at both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Other investments include the Bank’s holdings of Federal Reserve, Federal Home Loan Bank, Pacific Coast Bankers Bank, Community Bankers Bank stock. These investments (carrying value of $4.29 million) are considered to be restricted as the Company is required to hold these investments and the only market for these investments is the issuing agency. Also included in Other Investments are 9 certificates of deposit purchased from other FDIC insured institutions.  The balance of these CDs totaled $2.24 million at June 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Total stockholders’ equity of the Company was $51.59 million at June 30, 2014, representing an increase of $19.29 million or 59.71% from June 30, 2013. Total stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2013 was $32.99 million. The increase in stockholders’ equity from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2014 is due to the net earnings achieved over the last 12 months, the increase in accumulated comprehensive income related to the Company’s available for sale securities, and most significantly the capital received from the April 2014 capital raise.
 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total risk-based capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and Tier I capital to adjusted total assets (as defined).  See Footnote 4 for a more detailed discussion of the Company’s and Bank’s regulatory capital ratios. The Board of Directors and management are committed to increasing our capital levels and we are continuing to explore options for raising additional capital.
 
Liquidity is the ability to provide sufficient cash levels to meet financial commitments and to fund loan demand and deposit withdrawals. The Company and subsidiary Bank maintain a significant level of liquidity in the form of cash and cash equivalents ($83.37 million as of June 30, 2014) and unrestricted investment securities available for sale ($14.35 million).  Cash and cash equivalents are immediately available for satisfaction of deposit withdrawals, customer credit needs, and operations of the Bank.  The Bank also maintains a significant amount of available credit with both the Federal Home Loan Bank and a correspondent financial institution. The Bank also has the ability to attract certificates of deposit outside its market area by posting rates on the internet. The primary investors utilizing this network are credit unions. Unencumbered investment securities available for sale represent a secondary level of liquidity available for conversion to liquid funds in the event of extraordinary needs. In April 2014, the Company paid off its Holding Company Loan to Community Bankers Bank and as discussed in Footnote 5, the Company paid off its Capital Securities and accrued interest subsequent to June 2014. The Company believes that it maintains sufficient liquidity to meet its current and projected requirements and needs.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

In 2010, Edith Moser (“Moser”) filed two complaints in the Circuit Court of Washington County, VA, claiming that Highlands Union Bank (the “Bank”) improperly handled the repossession and disposition of collateral from a warehouse in June/July 2008.  Moser also claims that the Bank acted as her business advisor and breached fiduciary duties owed to her in this capacity.  One complaint seeks $700,000 in damages for conversion based solely on the repossession/disposition of collateral.  The second complaint seeks $7,850,000 in damages for breach of fiduciary duty, violation of UCC Article 9, actual fraud, unjust enrichment, and business conspiracy.  In response, the Bank filed demurrers to both complaints, both of which were granted in part and denied in part with leave granted to amend. Moser chose not to amend either complaint, opting instead to consolidate her remaining claims into one action.  Moser’s remaining claims against the Bank are for violation of UCC Article 9, fraud, unjust enrichment of personal property, and conversion of personal property.  No trial date has been set. The Bank disputes the allegations and believes that they are without merit.  The Bank intends to continue to vigorously defend itself.  Management is unable to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate the amount or range of potential loss.
