MIDDLEBURG FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1.        General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2014 and 2013 and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”) of Middleburg Financial Corporation (the “Company”).  The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

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

Certain amounts in the 2013 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation. The amounts of these items are not considered to be material variations from the original classifications and presentations.

On May 15, 2014, the Company sold all of its majority interest in Southern Trust Mortgage to a consortium of banks and the President of Southern Trust Mortgage. While the Company no longer has a direct financial interest in Southern Trust Mortgage, the Company has maintained a warehouse participation agreement with Southern Trust Mortgage in the amount of $17.00 million.

Note 2.        Share-Based Compensation Plan

The Company sponsors one share-based compensation plan, the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan, which provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, performance share awards, incentive awards, and stock units.  The 2006 Equity Compensation Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting held on April 26, 2006, and has succeeded the Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan.  Under the plan, the Company may grant share-based compensation to its directors, officers, employees, and other persons the Company determines have contributed to the profits or growth of the Company.  During 2013, the Company's Board of Directors and shareholders approved an amendment to this Plan to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance from 255,000 shares to 430,000 shares, an increase of 175,000 shares.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded $297,000 in share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock. As of September 30, 2014, there was $1.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested service and performance awards under the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded no compensation expense related to option awards. As of September 30, 2014 all outstanding option awards were previously vested and, accordingly, there was no unrecognized compensation expense as of September 30, 2014.  

The aggregate intrinsic value, noted in the tables below, represents the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. This amount changes based on changes in the market value of the Company’s common stock.

The Company granted 35,000 shares of restricted stock on May 7, 2014 to certain employees and executive officers. The restricted stock awards are performance based awards that contain performance based acceleration provisions if certain financial performance targets are met during pre-defined monitoring periods. Under the terms of the award, vesting may be accelerated on a partial basis depending on financial results for the years 2014 - 2018 based on the percentile ranking of the Company compared to its peer group over the period 2014 - 2018. All unearned restricted stock awards are forfeited if the employee leaves the Company prior to vesting. On January 27, 2014 and May 7, 2014 the Company awarded 133 shares and 4,400 shares, respectively, of restricted stock to members of the board of directors. These shares became fully vested on April 30, 2014 and will become fully vested on April 30, 2015, respectively.

A total of 93 securities have been identified by the Company as temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014.  Of the 93 securities, 92 are investment grade and one is speculative grade.  Mortgage-backed securities, municipal securities and corporate securities make up the majority of the gross unrealized losses for temporarily impaired securities at September 30, 2014.  Market prices change daily and are affected by conditions beyond the control of the Company.  Although the Company has the ability to hold these securities until the temporary loss is recovered, decisions by management may necessitate a sale before the loss is fully recovered.  No such sales were anticipated or required as of September 30, 2014.  Investment decisions reflect the strategic asset/liability objectives of the Company.  The investment portfolio is analyzed frequently by the Company and managed to provide an overall positive impact to the Company’s consolidated income statement and balance sheet.

Other-than-temporary impairment losses

At September 30, 2014, the Company evaluated the investment portfolio for possible other-than-temporary impairment losses and concluded that no adverse change in cash flows occurred and did not consider any portfolio securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired.  Based on this analysis and because the Company does not intend to sell securities prior to maturity and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell any securities before recovery of amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. For debt securities related to corporate securities, the Company determined that there was no other adverse change in the cash flows as viewed by a market participant; therefore, the Company does not consider the investments in these assets to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014.  However, there is a risk that the Company’s continuing reviews could result in recognition of other-than-temporary impairment charges in the future. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, no credit related impairment losses were recognized by the Company.

The Company’s investment in FHLB stock totaled $3.1 million at September 30, 2014.  FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment and as a restricted security which is carried at cost because there is no market for the stock other than the FHLB or member institutions.  Therefore, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value.  The Company does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014, and no impairment has been recognized.  FHLB stock is shown in restricted securities on the consolidated balance sheets and is not part of the available for sale portfolio.

Note 4.        Loans, Net

The Company segregates its loan portfolio into three primary loan segments:  Real Estate Loans, Commercial Loans, and Consumer Loans.  Real estate loans are further segregated into the following classes: construction loans, loans secured by farmland, loans secured by 1-4 family residential real estate, and other real estate loans.  Other real estate loans include commercial real estate loans.  The consolidated loan portfolio was composed of the following:

If interest on nonaccrual loans had been accrued, such income would have approximated $325,600 and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company sold $6.6 million in loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Of this amount, $5.9 million were on nonaccrual status.

The Company utilizes an internal asset classification system as a means of measuring and monitoring credit risk in the loan portfolio.  Under the Company’s classification system, problem and potential problem loans are classified as “Special Mention”, “Substandard”, and “Doubtful”.

Special Mention:  Loans with potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.  If  left uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credit.

Substandard:  Loans with well-defined weakness that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  Either the paying capacity of the borrower or the value of the collateral may be inadequate to protect the Company from potential losses.

Doubtful:  Loans with a very high possibility of loss.  However, because of important and reasonably specific pending factors, classification as a loss is deferred until a more exact status may be determined.

Loss: Loans are deemed uncollectible and are charged off immediately.

The following tables present the recorded investment in loans by class of loan that have been classified according to the internal classification system:

The “Recorded Investment” amounts in the table above represent the outstanding principal balance net of charge-offs and nonaccrual payments to interest on each loan represented in the table.  The “Unpaid Principal Balance” represents the outstanding principal balance on each loan represented in the table plus any amounts that have been charged-off on each loan and nonaccrual payments applied to principal.
 
Included in certain loan categories of impaired loans are troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). The total balance of TDRs at September 30, 2014 was $7.4 million of which $2.9 million were included in the Company’s nonaccrual loan totals at that date and $4.5 million represented loans performing as agreed according to the restructured terms. This compares with $15.6 million in total restructured loans at December 31, 2013.  The amount of the valuation allowance related to TDRs was $730,200 and $2.8 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
 
Loan modifications that were classified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

Of the five TDRs identified during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, two loans had previously been measured under the general allowance methodology of the allowance for loan losses. Upon identifying these loans as TDRs, the Company evaluated them for impairment. Accounting guidance requires prospective application of the impairment measurement for those loans newly identified as impaired. As of September 30, 2014, the recorded investment in the loans restructured during the period for which the allowance was previously measured under the general allowance methodology was $916,000. There was no allowance for loan losses associated with those loans on the basis of a current evaluation of loss.

Of the five TDRs identified above, one paid off and two were sold totaling $707,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. There were no outstanding commitments to lend additional amounts to troubled debt restructured borrowers at September 30, 2014.

TDR payment defaults during three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

Note 7.        Segment Reporting

The Company operates in a decentralized fashion in the following principal business activities: retail banking services; wealth management services; and mortgage banking services.  
Revenue from retail banking activity consists primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and service charges on deposit accounts.
Revenue from the wealth management activities is comprised of fees based upon the market value of the accounts under administration as well as commissions on investment transactions.
Revenue from the mortgage banking activities is comprised of interest earned on loans and fees received as a result of the mortgage origination process through the Company's affiliation with Southern Trust Mortgage. The Company recognized gains on the sale of loans as part of other income. On May 15, 2014, the Company sold all of its majority interest in Southern Trust Mortgage and as a result, any mortgage banking activity for the Company for the third quarter of 2014 is included with the results of the retail banking segment. Any activity since the sale of Southern Trust Mortgage is considered to be immaterial and incidental to the Company's retail banking activities. The mortgage banking activities will continue to be evaluated and will be separately reported as a distinguishable segment if determined to be of significance to the reader of these financial statements or if the related operating results are believed to meet the quantitative tests for disclosure. Mortgage banking activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are the result of Southern Trust Mortgage activity that was consolidated with the Company through the date of sale.
Middleburg Bank and the Company have assets in custody with Middleburg Trust Company and accordingly pay Middleburg Trust Company a monthly fee. Middleburg Bank also pays interest to Middleburg Trust Company on deposit accounts with Middleburg Bank. Middleburg Bank provided a warehouse line and office space, data processing and accounting services to Southern Trust Mortgage for which it received income. Transactions related to these relationships are eliminated to reach consolidated totals.
The following tables represent reportable segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

Note 8.        Capital Purchase Program

On January 30, 2009, as part of the Capital Purchase Program established by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement—Standard Terms (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Treasury, pursuant to which the Company sold (i) 22,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $2.50 per share, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 208,202 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $2.50 per share, at an initial exercise price of $15.85 per share. As a result of the completion of a public stock offering in 2009, the number of shares of common stock underlying the Warrant was reduced by one-half to 104,101 and the Company redeemed all 22,000 shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. During 2011, the Warrant was sold by the U.S. Treasury at public auction and has not been exercised as of September 30, 2014.

Note 9.        Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements" to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.  ASC 820 clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs 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 under ASC 820 based on these two types of inputs are as follows:
Level I.
Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

Level II.
Pricing inputs are other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date.  The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently and items that are fair-valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

20



Level III.
Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date.  These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

Measured on a recurring basis

The following describes the valuation techniques and inputs used by the Company in determining the fair value of certain assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.

Securities Available for Sale

The Company primarily values its investment portfolio using Level II fair value measurements, but may also use Level I or Level III measurements if required by the composition of the portfolio. 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 consider observable market data (Level II). In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified as Level III of the valuation hierarchy.

Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale are carried at market value. These loans currently consist of 1-4 family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data (Level II). Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within income from mortgage banking activities on the consolidated statements of income. There has been no activity since May 15, 2014, the date the Company sold its majority interest in Southern Trust Mortgage, and therefore, there were no loans held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014.

Mortgage Interest Rate Locks
The Company recognizes mortgage interest rate locks at fair value. Fair value is based on either (i) the price of the underlying loans obtained from an investor for loans that will be delivered on a best efforts basis or (ii) the observable price for individual loans traded in the secondary market for loans that will be delivered on a mandatory basis. All of the Company's mortgage interest rate locks are classified as Level II. On May 15, 2014, the Company sold its majority interest in Southern Trust Mortgage. Activity subsequent to the sale is deemed immaterial.

Mortgage Banking Hedge Instruments
Mortgage banking hedge instruments are used to mitigate interest rate risk for certain residential mortgage loans held for sale and interest rate locks. These instruments are considered derivatives and are recorded at fair value, based on (i) committed sales prices from investors for commitments to sell mortgage loans or (ii) observable market data inputs for commitments to sell mortgage backed securities. The Company's mortgage banking hedge instruments are classified as Level II. On May 15, 2014, the Company sold its majority interest in Southern Trust Mortgage and on this date, this activity ceased.

Interest Rate Swaps
Interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value based on third party vendors who compile prices from various sources and may determine fair value of identical or similar instruments by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level II).

Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Company obtains the fair value of mortgage servicing rights from an independent valuation service. The model used by the independent service to value mortgage servicing rights incorporates inputs and assumptions such as loan characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment speeds, delinquency rates, late charges, escrow income, other ancillary revenue, costs to service and other economic factors. Fair value estimates from the model are adjusted for recent market activity, actual experience and, when available, other observable market data (Level II). On May 15, 2014, the Company sold its majority interest in Southern Trust Mortgage and on this date, mortgage servicing rights ceased.

Measured on nonrecurring basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure and recognize certain other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. The following describes the valuation techniques and inputs used by the Company in determining the fair value of 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 a market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level II).  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 III.  The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business's financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data.  Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivable collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level III).  Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the consolidated statements of income.

When collateral-dependent loans are performing in accordance with the original terms of their contract, the Company continues to use the appraisal that was performed at origination as the basis for the collateral value. When collateral-dependent loans are considered nonperforming, they are reviewed to determine the next appropriate course of action, either foreclosure or modification with forbearance agreement. The loans would then be reappraised prior to foreclosure or before a forbearance agreement is executed. This process does not vary by loan type.

The Company's procedure to monitor the value of collateral for collateral-dependent impaired loans between the receipt of the original appraisal and an updated appraisal is to review annual tax assessment records. At this time, adjustments are made, if necessary. Information considered in the determination not to order an updated appraisal includes the availability and reliability of tax assessment records and significant changes in capitalization rates for income properties. Other facts and circumstances on a case-by-case basis may be considered relative to a decision not to order an updated appraisal. If, in the judgment of management, a reliable collateral value cannot be obtained by an alternative method, an updated appraisal would be obtained.

Circumstances that may warrant a reappraisal for nonperforming loans might include foreclosure proceedings or a material adverse change in the borrower's condition or that of the collateral underlying the loan. In some cases, management may decide that an updated appraisal for a nonperforming loan is not necessary, In such cases, an estimate of the fair value of the collateral would be made by management by reference to current tax assessments, the latest appraised value, and knowledge of collateral value fluctuations in a loan's market area. If, in management's judgment, a reliable collateral value cannot be obtained by an alternative method, an updated appraisal would be obtained.

For the purpose of evaluating the allowance for loan losses, new appraisals are discounted 10% for estimated selling costs when determining the amount of specific reserves. Thereafter, for collateral-dependent impaired loans, we consider each loan on a case-by-case basis to determine whether or not the recorded values are appropriate given current market conditions. When necessary, new appraisals are obtained. If an appraisal is less than 12 months old, the only adjustment made is the 10% discount for selling costs. If an appraisal is older than 12 months, management will use judgment based on knowledge of current market values and specific facts surrounding any particular property to determine if an additional valuation adjustment may be necessary.





23


Other Real Estate Owned
 
The value of other real estate owned (“OREO”) is determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data (Level II).  For other real estate owned properties that may be in construction, the Company’s policy is to obtain “as-is” appraisals on an annual basis as opposed to “as-completed” appraisals.  This approach provides current values without regard to completion of any construction or renovation that may be in process.  Accordingly, the Company considers the valuations to be Level II valuations even though some properties may be in process of renovation or construction. If the collateral value is significantly adjusted due to differences in the comparable properties, or is discounted by the Company because of marketability or other factors, then the fair value is considered Level III. Any initial fair value adjustment is charged against the Allowance for Loan Losses. Any subsequent fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and included in other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.

For the purpose of OREO valuations, appraisals are discounted 10% for selling costs and it is the policy of the Company to obtain annual appraisals for properties held in OREO. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as loss on other real estate owned on the consolidated statements of income.

Repossessed Assets
 
The value of repossessed assets is determined by the Company based on marketability and other factors and is considered Level III.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation.  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

24


values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.  U.S. generally accepted accounting principles excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments (not previously described) for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans, Net

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  For fixed rate loans, the fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market inputs at which loans with similar terms and qualities would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Where quoted market prices were available, primarily for certain residential mortgage loans, such market rates were utilized as estimates for fair value. Fair value for impaired loans is described above.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The carrying amount of bank owned life insurance is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair values.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  For all other deposits, the fair value is determined using the discounted cash flow method.  The discount rate is equal to the rate currently offered on similar products.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Short-Term  Debt

The carrying amounts approximate fair values.

FHLB Borrowings and Subordinated Debt

For variable rate long-term debt, fair values are based on carrying values.  For fixed rate debt, fair values are estimated based on observable market prices and discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates for borrowings of similar remaining maturities and characteristics.  The fair values of the Company's Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties.  For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.  The fair value of standby letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.  At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair values of loan commitments and standby letters of credit were deemed immaterial; therefore, they have not been included in the tables below.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values, and related carrying amounts, of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

The Company assumes interest rate risk as a result of its normal operations.  As a result, the fair values of the Company's financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change, which may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company.  Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk.  However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment.  Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment.  Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company's overall interest rate risk.

Note 10.        Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” The amendments

26


in this ASU permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. A reporting entity that uses the effective yield method to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects before the date of adoption may continue to apply the effective yield method for those preexisting investments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2014-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, “Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” The amendments in this ASU 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 (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) 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. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2014-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” The amendments in this ASU change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results and include disposals of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. Additionally, the new guidance requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The amendments in the ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-08 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606”. This ASU applies to any entity using U.S. GAAP that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The guidance supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, most industry-specific guidance, and some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts”. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To be in alignment with the core principle, an entity must apply a five step process including: identification of the contract(s) with a customer, identification of performance obligations in the contract(s), determination of the transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognition of revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Additionally, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer have also been amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. The amendments in this ASU remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915, “Development Stage Entities”, from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, this ASU adds an example disclosure and removes an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, “Consolidation”, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. The presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 will no longer be required for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The revised consolidation standards are effective

27


for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-10 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures”. This ASU aligns the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as a repurchase financing with the accounting for other typical repurchase agreements. The new guidance eliminates sale accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and supersedes the guidance under which a transfer of a financial asset and a contemporaneous repurchase financing could be accounted for on a combined basis as a forward agreement. The amendments in the ASU also require a new disclosure for transactions economically similar to repurchase agreements in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets throughout the term of the transaction. Additional disclosures will be required for the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014; however, the disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2014-11 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The new guidance applies to reporting entities that grant employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award allow a performance target to be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments in the ASU require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. Existing guidance in “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, should be applied to account for these types of awards. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted and reporting entities may choose to apply the amendments in the ASU either on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2014-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-14, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure”. The amendments in this ASU apply to creditors that hold government-guaranteed mortgage loans and is intended to eliminate the diversity in practice related to the classification of these guaranteed loans upon foreclosure. The new guidance stipulates that a mortgage loan be derecognized and a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan prior to foreclosure, (2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under that claim, and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. Upon foreclosure, the other receivable should be measured on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Entities may adopt the amendments on a prospective basis or modified retrospective basis as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption; however, the entity must apply the same method of transition as elected under ASU 2014-04. Early adoption is permitted provided the entity has already adopted ASU 2014-04. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2014-14 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. This update is intended to provide guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Management is required under the new guidance to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued when preparing financial statements for each interim and annual reporting period. If conditions or events are identified, the ASU specifies the process that must be followed by management and also clarifies the timing and content of going concern footnote disclosures in order to reduce diversity in practice. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 12.        Derivatives

The Company utilizes derivative instruments as a part of its asset-liability management program to control fluctuation of market values and cash flows to changes in interest rates associated with certain financial instruments. The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging". Under current guidance, derivative transactions are classified as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges or they are not designated as hedging instruments. The Company designates each derivative instrument at the inception of the derivative transaction in accordance with this guidance. Information concerning each of the Company's categories of derivatives as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is presented below.

Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges

During 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement as part of the interest rate risk management process.  The swap was designated as a cash flow hedge intended to hedge the variability of cash flows associated with the Company’s trust preferred capital securities. The swap hedges the cash flow associated with the trust preferred capital notes wherein the Company receives a floating rate based on LIBOR from a counterparty and pays a fixed rate of 2.59% to the same counterparty.  The swap is calculated on a notional amount of $5.2 million.  The term of the swap is 10 years and commenced on October 23, 2010.  The swap was entered into with a counterparty that met the Company’s credit standards and the agreement contains collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party.  The Company believes that the credit risk inherent in the contract is not significant.

During 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement as part of the interest rate risk management process.  The swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge intended to hedge the variability of cash flows associated with the Company’s FHLB borrowings. The swap hedges the cash flows associated with the FHLB borrowings wherein the Company receives a floating rate based on LIBOR from a counterparty and pays a fixed rate of 1.43% to the same counterparty.  The swap is calculated on a notional amount of $10.0 million.  The term of the swap is 5 years and commenced on November 25, 2013.  The swap was entered into with a counterparty that met the Company’s credit standards and the agreement contains collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party.  The Company believes that the credit risk inherent in the contract is not significant.

Amounts receivable or payable are recognized as accrued under the terms of the agreement, with the effective portion of the derivative’s unrealized gain or loss recorded as a component of other comprehensive income.  The ineffective portion of the unrealized gain or loss, if any, would be recorded in other income or other expense.  The Company has assessed the effectiveness of the hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows on the designated hedged item.  As a result of this assessment, there was no hedge ineffectiveness identified for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 or the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
The amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as unrealized losses (market value net of tax) were $55,800 and $29,100 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

Two-way client loan swaps

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company entered into certain interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative contracts relate to transactions in which we enter into an interest rate swap with a customer while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with another financial institution. In connection with each swap transaction, the Company agrees to pay interest to the customer on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the customer on an identical notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, the Company agrees to pay the counterparty the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. The transaction allows our clients to effectively convert a variable rate loan into a fixed rate loan. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for our customers, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivatives contracts offset each other and do not significantly impact our results of operations. The Company had no undesignated interest rate swaps at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Certain additional risks arise from interest rate swap contracts in that the counterparties to the contracts may not be able to meet the terms of the contracts. We do not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITON AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition at September 30, 2014 and results of operations of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report and in the 2013 Form 10-K. It should also be read in conjunction with the “Caution About Forward Looking Statements” section at the end of this discussion.

Overview

The Company is headquartered in Middleburg, Virginia and conducts its primary operations through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Middleburg Bank and Middleburg Investment Group, Inc.  Middleburg Bank is a community bank serving the Virginia counties of Prince William, Loudoun, Fairfax, Fauquier, the Town of Williamsburg and the City of Richmond with twelve financial service centers and one limited service facility.  Middleburg Investment Group is a non-bank holding company with one wholly owned subsidiary, Middleburg Trust Company.  Middleburg Trust Company is a trust company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, and maintains offices in Williamsburg, Virginia and in several of Middleburg Bank’s facilities.  On May 15, 2014, the Company sold its membership interests in Southern Trust Mortgage to a consortium of banks and the President of Southern Trust Mortgage.

The Company generates a significant amount of its income from the net interest income earned by Middleburg 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.  Middleburg Bank’s cost of funds 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 nonaccrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses or potential other-than-temporary impairment of securities.  Middleburg Investment Group’s subsidiary, Middleburg Trust Company, generates fee income by providing investment management and trust services to its clients.  Investment management and trust fees are generally based upon the value of assets under management, and, therefore can be significantly affected by fluctuations in the values of securities caused by changes in the capital markets.  

Net income attributable to Middleburg Financial Corporation for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 increased 31.66% to $2.12 million from $1.61 million over the same period in 2013. Earnings per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 were $0.30 per share compared to $0.23 per share for the same period in 2013. Net income attributable to Middleburg Financial Corporation for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased 18.35% to $5.95 million from $5.03 million over the same period in 2013. Earnings per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $0.84 per share compared to $0.71 per share for the same period in 2013.

Annualized return on average assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was 0.69%, compared to 0.52% for the same period in 2013. Annualized return on average equity of Middleburg Financial Corporation for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was 7.00%, compared to 5.70% for the same period in 2013. Annualized return on average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 0.65%, compared to 0.55% for the same period in 2013. Annualized return on average equity of Middleburg Financial Corporation for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 6.77%, compared to 6.00% for the same period in 2013.


32


The net interest margin, a non-GAAP measure more fully described in the “Results of Operations” section below, increased from 3.33% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 to 3.36% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.  The net interest margin increased from 3.39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to 3.43% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The provision for loan losses increased to $550,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to $3,000 for the same period in 2013. The provision for loan losses increased to $1.51 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $(1,000) for the same period in 2013.

Non-interest income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was lower by 62.79% and 35.02% compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to lower mortgage revenue which was partially offset by income from a large recovery of expense during the first quarter of 2014 related to a previously charged-off loan.

Non-interest expense fell by 36.93% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and fell by 21.53% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Actions taken by the Company to cut costs as well as the Company's sale of all its interest in Southern Trust Mortgage during the second quarter of 2014 were the primary reasons for the decline in non-interest expense for the nine months ended 2014. Expenses attributable to Southern Trust Mortgage were consolidated in the Company's financial statement through the date of the sale.

The Company’s capital ratios remain well above regulatory minimum capital ratios as of September 30, 2014:

Critical Accounting Policies

General

The financial condition and results of operations presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and this section are, to some 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.

Presented below is discussion of those accounting policies that management believes are the most important (“Critical Accounting Policies”) to the portrayal and understanding of Middleburg Financial Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.  The Critical Accounting Policies require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain.  In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Middleburg Bank monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  Middleburg Bank maintains policies and procedures that address the systems of controls over the following areas of maintenance of the allowance:  the systematic methodology used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance to provide assurance they are maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; the accounting policies for loan charge-offs and recoveries; the assessment and measurement of impairment in the loan portfolio; and the loan grading system.

Middleburg Bank evaluates various loans individually for impairment as required by applicable accounting standards.  Loans evaluated individually for impairment include nonperforming loans, such as loans on nonaccrual, loans past due by 90 days or more, troubled debt restructured loans and other loans selected by management.  The evaluations are based upon discounted expected cash flows or collateral valuations.  If the evaluation shows that a loan is individually impaired, then a specific reserve is established for the amount of impairment.  If a loan evaluated individually is not impaired, then the loan is assessed for impairment with a group of loans that have similar characteristics.

33



For loans without individual measures of impairment, Middleburg Bank makes estimates of losses for groups of loans as required by applicable accounting standards.  Loans are grouped by similar characteristics, including the type of loan, the assigned loan grade and the general collateral type.  A loss rate reflecting the expected loss inherent in a group of loans is derived based upon estimates of default rates for a given loan grade, the predominant collateral type for the group and the terms of the loan.  The resulting estimate of losses for groups of loans are adjusted for relevant environmental factors and other conditions of the portfolio of loans, including:  borrower and industry concentrations; levels and trends in delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries; changes in underwriting standards and risk selection; level of experience, ability and depth of lending management; and national and local economic conditions.

The amount of estimated impairment for individually evaluated loans and groups of loans is added together for a total estimate of loans losses.  This estimate of losses is compared to the allowance for loan losses of Middleburg Bank as of the evaluation date and, if the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be made.  If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the estimate is evaluated to determine whether the allowance falls outside a range of estimates.  If the estimate of losses is below the range of reasonable estimates, the allowance would be reduced by way of a credit to the provision for loan losses.  Middleburg Bank recognizes the inherent imprecision in estimates of losses due to various uncertainties and variability related to the factors used, and therefore a reasonable range around the estimate of losses is derived and used to ascertain whether the allowance is too high or low based on a reasonable range.  If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail and it is determined that the allowance is not adequate to absorb the new estimate of probable losses, an additional provision for loan losses would be made, which amount may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
 
Goodwill and Intangibles

With the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2011-08, "Intangible-Goodwill and Other-Testing Goodwill for Impairment", the Company is no longer required to perform a test for impairment unless, based on an assessment of qualitative factors related to goodwill, we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each applicable reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the likelihood of impairment is more than 50%, the Company must perform a test for impairment and may be required to record impairment charges. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is greater than zero and its fair value exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired; thus, the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test shall be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test, used to measure the amount of impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. After a goodwill impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill shall be its new accounting basis. Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized goodwill impairment loss is prohibited once the measurement of that loss is recognized.

Management estimates fair value utilizing multiple methodologies which include discounted cash flows, comparable companies, third-party sale and assets under management analysis. Determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units requires management to make judgments and assumptions related to various items, including estimates of future operating results, allocations of indirect expenses, and discount rates.  Management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, the fair value of each reporting unit could be different in the future if actual results or market conditions differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

The Company’s forecasted cash flows for its reporting units assume a stable economic environment and consistent long-term growth in loan originations and assets under management over the projected periods.  Additionally, expenses are assumed to be consistently correlated with projected asset and revenue growth over the time periods projected.  Although we believe the key assumptions underlying the financial forecasts to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond the control of the Company.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the forecasted results will be realized and variations from the forecast may be material.  If weak economic conditions continue or worsen for a prolonged period of time, or if the reporting unit loses key personnel, the fair value of the reporting unit may be adversely affected which may result in impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets in the future.  Any changes in the key management estimates or judgments could result in an impairment charge, and such a charge could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Middleburg Investment Group has intangible assets in the form of certain customer relationships that were acquired in 2002. We amortize those intangible assets on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI) for Securities

Impairment of securities occurs when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost. For debt securities, impairment is considered other-than-temporary and recognized in its entirety in net income if either (i) we intend to sell the security or (ii) it is more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If, however, we do not intend to sell the security and it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery, we must determine what portion of the impairment is attributable to a credit loss, which occurs when the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security. If there is no credit loss, there is no other-than-temporary impairment. If there is a credit loss, other-than-temporary impairment exists, and the credit loss must be recognized in net income and the remaining portion of impairment must be recognized in other comprehensive income. For equity securities, impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary based on our ability and intent to hold the investment until a recovery of fair value. Other-than-temporary impairment of an equity security results in a write-down that must be included in net income. We regularly review each investment security for other-than-temporary impairment based on criteria that includes the extent to which cost exceeds market price, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer, our best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from debt securities, our intention with regard to holding the security to maturity and the likelihood that we would be required to sell the security before recovery.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the principal source of earnings of the Company.  Net interest income is the amount by which interest generated from earning assets exceeds the expense of funding those assets.  Changes in volume and mix of interest earning

37


assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as their respective yields and rates, have a significant impact on the level of net interest income.

Net interest income was $9.55 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.  This is an increase of 2.41% over net interest income reported for the same period for 2013.  The net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was 3.36% compared to 3.33% for the same period for 2013. Net interest income was $28.77 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  This is an increase of 2.39% over net interest income reported for the same period for 2013. The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 3.43% compared to 3.39% for the same period for 2013.

The following factors contributed to the changes in the net interest margin:
Yields on earning assets during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 declined by 10 bp and 8 bp, respectively, compared to the same periods for 2013. These changes are primarily due to a 9 bp and 8 bp decrease in loan yields for the same periods, respectively and a 14 bp and 13 bp increase in yields on investments for the same periods, respectively.
Loan yields were lower for the following reasons:
continued decline in mortgage loans held for sale and;
payoffs in commercial and 1-4 family loans and lower yields on loans booked during the quarter, which had the collective effect of lowering the effective yield on the loan portfolio.
Yields on investments increased due to lower premium amortization on mortgage backed securities in the portfolio.
Cost of funds declined by 14 bp to 45 bp for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period for 2013 and declined by 12 bp for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period for 2013 as the Company paid off $35.00 million of maturing FHLB advances and added non-interest bearing deposits.

The net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets.  Because a portion of interest income earned by the Company is nontaxable, the tax equivalent net interest income is considered in the calculation of this ratio.  The tax rate utilized in calculating the tax benefit for each of the reported periods is 34%.  The reconciliation of tax equivalent net interest income, which is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, to net interest income is reflected in the table below.

Based on our internal interest rate risk models and the assumption of a sustained low rate environment, the Company expects net interest income to trend downward throughout the next 12 months as loans and securities reprice lower and the decline in funding costs slows.  It is anticipated that targeted growth in earning assets and liability repricing opportunities will help mitigate the impact to the Company’s net interest margin.  The Asset/Liability Management Committee continues to focus on various strategies to maintain the net interest margin.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income has been and will continue to be an important factor for increasing profitability.  Management recognizes this and continues to review and consider areas where non-interest income can be increased.  Non-interest income includes fees generated by the commercial and retail banking segment and the wealth management segment. We expect to have limited gain on sale revenue from mortgage loans in the foreseeable future following the sale of our majority interest in Southern Trust Mortgage in the second quarter of 2014.  Non-interest income was lower by 62.79% and 35.02% compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  A more detailed discussion of non-interest income follows:
The primary reason for the decline in non-interest income compared to the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 was lower mortgage revenue from a decline in loan originations which was partially offset by income from a large recovery of expense during the first quarter of 2014 related to a previously charged-off loan.
Gains on securities available for sale decreased 47.83% and 64.48% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
Fees earned by Middleburg Investment Group (“MIG”) increased by 16.93% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and were higher by 12.21% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Fee income is based primarily upon the market value of the accounts under administration which were $1.78 billion at September 30, 2014 compared to $1.50 billion at September 30, 2013.
Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) income increased 34.40% and 34.60% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively due to an increase of $5.00 million in BOLI during the fourth quarter of 2013.
Other operating income increased 43.40% and 67.54% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively primarily due to income received from a large recovery in the first quarter of 2014 related to a previously charged-off loan.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense fell by 36.93% during the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Non-interest expense fell by 21.53% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Principal reasons for the improvement of non-interest expense were the following:
Salaries and employee benefit expense decreased by 42.70% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and was lower by 24.85% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The primary reasons for lower salary and employee benefit expenses were the sale of the Company's majority interest in Southern Trust Mortgage on May 15, 2014 and staff reductions at the bank.
Continued streamlining of campaign and product promotions reduced advertising expenses. Advertising expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 declined by 57.23% compared to the same quarter in 2013 and were lower by 57.88% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Costs related to other real estate owned (OREO) declined by 107.93% and by 89.47% compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as ongoing expenses to maintain the properties fell and net gains were recognized on OREO of $238,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Occupancy and equipment expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 declined by 30.66% compared to the same quarter in 2013 and were lower by 10.55% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The primary reason for lower expenses in this category was the sale of Southern Trust Mortgage on May 15, 2014. Expenses attributable to Southern Trust Mortgage were consolidated in the Company's financial statements through the date of the sale.
Other operating expenses decreased 22.81% and 9.36% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Primary reasons for declines in expenses in this category were the sale of Southern Trust Mortgage on May 15, 2014. The significant components in this category include expenses related to deposit processing, fees for advisory services, telephone and professional fees.

The adjusted efficiency ratio is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company calculates its efficiency ratio by dividing non interest expense (adjusted for amortization of intangibles, other real estate expenses, and non-recurring one-time charges) by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and non interest income excluding gains and losses on the investment portfolio. The tax rate utilized in calculating tax equivalent amounts is 34%. The Company calculates and reviews this ratio as a means of evaluating operational efficiency.  The calculation of the adjusted efficiency ratio for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

Accrued interest receivable and other assets decreased by $3.88 million compared to December 31, 2013. The majority of the decline was a decrease in accounts receivable of $3.0 million as we repatriated excess cash from repurchase accounts.

Total consolidated liabilities at September 30, 2014 were $1.09 billion, a decrease of 2.33% compared to December 31, 2013. The most significant change in liabilities was the change in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings.

Changes in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013 were as follows.
Real estate construction loans consist primarily of pre-sold 1-4 family residential loans along with a marginal amount of commercial construction loans.  These loans represented 4.40% of total loans, a decrease of approximately $3.97 million from $36.03 million.  
Loans secured by farmland increased by $754,000 from $16.58 million.
Loans secured by 1-4 family residential real estate represented 36.70% of total loans, a decrease of $6.17 million.  
Other real estate loans are typically non-farm, non-residential real estate loans which are, in most cases, owner-occupied commercial buildings.  Other real estate loans represented 34.90% of total loans, a decrease of $5.65 million.
Commercial loans, which consist of secured and unsecured loans to small businesses, increased 8.49%.
Consumer loans increased by $4.30 million or 34.11%.

Asset Quality

The Company continues to experience improved asset quality. Factors contributing to these improvements include:
Loans that were delinquent for more than 90 days and still accruing declined to $30,000 as of September 30, 2014 from $808,000 as of December 31, 2013.

42


Nonaccrual loans declined to $7.33 million as of September 30, 2014 from $19.75 million as of December 31, 2013, representing a decrease of 62.88%.
Total troubled debt restructurings were $7.41 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $15.60 million at December 31, 2013, representing a decrease of 52.47%.
Total nonperforming assets were $18.08 million or 1.50% of total assets at September 30, 2014 compared to $28.66 million or 2.33% to total assets at December 31, 2013.
Substandard and doubtful loans were $20.60 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $35.90 million at December 31, 2013, representing a decrease of 42.62%.
Past due loans declined from $13.74 million at December 31, 2013 to $2.44 million at September 30, 2014, a decrease of 82.26%.
Nonperforming loans declined due to the Company selling $6.6 million of nonperforming loans during the first half of 2014. Of this amount, $5.9 million of the loans were on nonaccrual status and $6.3 million in loan balances were classified as TDRs. Specific reserves associated with these loans totaled $655,000. This is the primary reason for the decrease in nonaccrual loans and nonperforming assets.
Nonperforming loans also declined due to foreclosures of $3.82 million and repossessed assets of $2.28 million as of September 31, 2014 compared to foreclosures of $2.39 million as of December 31, 2013.

(1) Amount reflects restructured loans that are not included in nonaccrual loans.
(2) Included in other assets.
 
Included in nonperforming loans are troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). The total balance of TDRs at September 30, 2014 was $7.4 million of which $2.9 million were included in the Company’s nonaccrual loan totals at that date and $4.5 million represented loans performing as agreed to the restructured terms. This compares with $15.6 million in total TDRs at December 31, 2013.  The amount of the valuation allowance related to TDRs was $730,200 and $2.8 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company modified no loans, compared to eleven modifications, which totaled $3.10 million for the same period in 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company modified five loans considered to be TDRs, which totaled $1.39 million compared to twenty modifications, which totaled $5.49 million for the same period in 2013.

The Company requires six timely consecutive monthly payments be made and future payments be reasonably assured, before a restructured loan that has been placed on nonaccrual can be returned to accrual status. The Company does not utilize formal modification programs or packages when loans are considered for restructuring.  Any loan restructuring is based on the borrower’s circumstances and may include modifications to more than one of the terms and conditions of the loan.

The Company has not performed any commercial real estate or other type of loan workout whereby the existing loan would have been structured into multiple new loans.

The Company has allocated the allowance according to the amount deemed reasonably necessary to provide for the possibility of losses being incurred within each loan category.  The allocation of the allowance should not be interpreted as an indication that loan losses in future years will occur in the same proportions that they may have in prior periods or that the allocation indicates future loan loss trends.  Additionally, the proportion allocated to each loan category is not the total amount that may be available for future losses that could occur within such categories since the total allowance is available to absorb losses on the total portfolio.

Securities

The carrying value of the securities portfolio was $335.03 million at September 30, 2014, an increase of $6.61 million compared to the carrying value of $328.42 million at December 31, 2013.  The unrealized losses on available for sale securities were $2.21 million and $5.42 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

44



The securities portfolio represented approximately 29.02% and 28.60% of the average earning assets of the Company at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.   

Goodwill and Other Identified Intangibles

Goodwill and other identified intangibles decreased by $1.50 million to $3.85 million at September 30, 2014. The majority of this decrease is attributable to the Company's sale of its majority interest in Southern Trust Mortgage. The remainder of the decrease represented amortization expense related to intangibles.

Deposits

Total deposits increased by $4.17 million from December 31, 2013 to $986.57 million as of September 30, 2014, primarily due to strong deposit inflows during the second quarter of 2014.

The Company has an interest bearing product, known as Tredegar Institutional Select, that integrates the use of the cash within client accounts at Middleburg Trust Company for overnight funding at the Bank. The overall balance of this product was $41.95 million at September 30, 2014 and $42.1 million as of December 31, 2013 and is reflected in both the savings and interest bearing demand deposits on the consolidated balance sheet. Fluctuations in these balances are due to cash entering and exiting the market as a result of trends within the marketplace and changes in investors' confidence. These funds are anticipated to be short term in nature and therefore were not deployed into earning assets.

Time deposits decreased by $19.72 million or 7.36% from December 31, 2013 to $248.23 million at September 30, 2014. Time deposits include brokered certificates of deposit and CDARS deposits. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“Repo Accounts”) increased by $1.93 million from $34.54 million at December 31, 2013 to $36.47 million at September 30, 2014. The Repo Accounts include certain long-term commercial checking accounts with average balances that typically exceed $100,000. All repurchase agreement transactions entered into by the Company are accounted for as collateralized financings and not as sales.

Short-term Borrowings and FHLB Borrowings

The Company had no overnight advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) outstanding at September 30, 2014. FHLB term advances were $45.00 million at September 30, 2014, lower by $35.00 million compared to December 31, 2013 due to advances maturing during the first nine months of 2014.
 
Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Subsidiary

On May 15, 2014, the Company sold its membership interests in Southern Trust Mortgage to a consortium of banks and the President of Southern Trust Mortgage resulting in a $24,000 gain included in non-interest income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
 
Capital Resources and Dividends

Shareholders' equity attributable to Middleburg Financial Corporation was $120.92 million at September 30, 2014 compared with $112.58 million at December 31, 2013. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014 the Company declared common stock dividends of $0.10 per share, compared to $0.07 per share for the same period in 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Company declared common stock dividends of $0.24 per share, compared to $0.17 per share for the same period in 2013. The book value of common stock was $16.97 per share at September 30, 2014 and $15.90 at December 31, 2013.

The Company had a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 17.30% and 15.41% at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 16.04% and 14.15% at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The Company’s leverage ratio was 9.71% at September 30, 2014 compared to 9.32% at September 30, 2013. These ratios exceed the minimum capital requirements adopted by the federal banking regulatory agencies.

The Company’s Tier 1 capital and total capital include $5.0 million of trust preferred securities. Under the changes to the regulatory capital framework that were approved on July 9, 2013 by the federal banking agencies (Basel III Final Rule), the Company's trust preferred securities will continue to be included in Tier 1 capital and total capital until they mature, pursuant to a "grandfathering" provision that exempts Middleburg Financial Corporation's securities from the more stringent regulatory capital treatment contained in the Basel III Final Rule for trust preferred securities. In addition to "grandfathering" certain previously outstanding trust preferred securities for community banks, the Basel III Final Rule introduces a new Common Equity Tier 1 capital measure, increases the

45


applicable minimum regulatory capital levels and certain prompt corrective action capital levels, and establishes a capital conservation buffer and new risk weights for certain types of assets. The Basel III Final Rule is effective for community banks on January 1, 2015 and has a transition period applicable to certain regulatory capital changes until January 1, 2019. The Company believes that it maintains sufficient levels of Tier 1 and Common Equity Tier 1 capital to comply with the Basel III Final Rules, as currently scheduled to be effective and implemented.
 
Liquidity

Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management.  Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, short-term investments, securities classified as available for sale and loans and securities 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 the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.

The Company also maintains additional sources of liquidity through a variety of borrowing arrangements.  Middleburg Bank maintains federal funds lines with large regional and money-center banking institutions.  These available lines total approximately $24.0 million, none of which were outstanding at September 30, 2014.  Middleburg Bank is also able to borrow from the discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.  At September 30, 2014, available borrowing capacity from this source was $34.07 million.  At the end of the third quarter of 2014, Middleburg Bank had $36.49 million of outstanding borrowings pursuant to securities sold under agreement to repurchase transactions (“Repo Accounts”), with maturities of one day.  The Repo Accounts are long-term commercial checking accounts with average balances that typically exceed $100,000.  At September 30, 2014, the Company had $7.2 million and $5.0 million of outstanding borrowings pursuant to securities sold under agreement to repurchase transactions with remaining maturities of less than one year and greater than one year, respectively.

As of September 30, 2014, Middleburg Bank had remaining credit availability in the amount of $161.70 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.  This line may be utilized for short and/or long-term borrowing.  

At September 30, 2014, cash, interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions, federal funds sold, short-term investments and unencumbered securities available for sale were 20.55% of total deposits and liabilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2014, there have been no material changes to the off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reliable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices.  The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk, though it should be noted that the assets under management by Middleburg Trust Company are affected by equity price risk.  The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability management process, which is governed by policies established by its Board of Directors that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board of Directors delegates responsibility for carrying out asset/liability management policies to the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) of Middleburg Bank.  In this capacity, ALCO develops guidelines and strategies that govern the Company’s asset/liability management related activities, based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends.

Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates.  As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with the Company’s financial instruments also change, affecting net interest income, the primary component of the Company’s earnings.  ALCO uses the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes.  While ALCO routinely monitors simulated net interest income sensitivity over a rolling two-year horizon, it also employs additional tools to monitor potential longer-term interest rate risk.  

The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet.  The simulation model is prepared and updated four times during each year.  This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point (bp) upward shift and a 200 basis point downward shift in interest rates.  The following reflects the range of the Company’s net interest income sensitivity analysis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Estimated Net Interest Income Sensitivity
Rate Change
 
September 30, 2014
 
December 31, 2013
+ 200 bps
 
5.1%
 
2.7%
- 200 bps
 
(15.9)%
 
(11.6)%

At September 30, 2014, the Company’s interest rate risk model indicated that for an immediate 200 basis points increase in interest rates, net interest income was expected to increase by 5.10% over a 12-month period.  For the same time period, the interest rate risk model indicated that, for an immediate 200 basis points decrease in interest rates, net interest income was expected to decrease by 15.9% over a 12-month period.  While these numbers are subjective based upon the parameters used within the model, management believes the balance sheet is very balanced and is working to minimize risks to rising rates in the future.

The Company’s specific goal is to lower, where possible, the cost of its borrowed funds.

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent the Company's forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results.  These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cash flows.  While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances about the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.


47


Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to factors such as prepayment and refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change, caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes, and other internal and external variables.  Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that ALCO might take in response to or anticipation of changes in interest rates.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.)  Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

The Company’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of it that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
