To Our Stockholders

Our balance sheet remains 

strong with high liquidity 

and strong capital ratios.   

We are leveraging these 

strengths and have all our 

employees focused on our 

goals for 2012. 

The past year has been 

very positive for our 
company in many ways.  

As the cover of this report 
suggests, we feel like it has been 
the beginning of a new day.  
Coming out of 2010, it was 
imperative that we start to turn 
the corner and prevent any 
further degradation of 
stockholder value.  For 2011,  
we focused on the major profit 
drivers for the bank.  The first 
priority was to reduce problem 
assets, and we were able to 
dramatically shrink our level of 
non-performing loans for the 
year.  Additionally, we 
purposefully managed large 
decreases in our concentrations 
of real estate dependent credits 
to mitigate the risk inherent in 
that loan type in the current 
market environment.  

We were also committed to 
turning the losses around and 
shoring up the balance sheet.  
While we lost money in the first 
quarter, it was the result of our 
decision to restructure a portion 
of the loan pool in our FDIC 
shared-loss arrangement to 
eliminate volatility in the income 
statement.  The remaining three 
quarters of 2011 were profitable, 
and we had net income of $1.5 
million for the year.  We also 
managed to consistently 

increase our capital ratios in 
2011, with the Bank’s tier 1 
leverage ratio at 8.1% at year 
end.  Total risked based capital 
and tier 1 risk based capital 
ended the year at 16.8% and 
15.6%, respectively.  This is no 
small feat given the current 
regulatory and economic 
environment in which we work, 
and it is a significant change 
from 2010 when nonperforming 
loans peaked at $45 million and 
we suffered a net loss of over 
$22 million for the year.  

While we are excited about the 
progress in 2011, we still have 
more to do.  We continue to 
work closely with our regulators 
to conform to all requirements 
of our written agreement.  Our 
asset quality trends continue to 
be positive, and we will not 
cease in our efforts to reduce 
non-performing loans.  We also 
look to grow new viable credit 
relationships and managed to 
increase our total loan balances 
in 2011.   Our balance sheet 
remains strong with high 
liquidity and strong capital 
ratios.  We are leveraging these 
strengths and have all our 
employees focused on our  
goals for 2012.  While we cannot 
make assurances to this, we are 
focused on getting out of the 
written agreement and back on 

For 2012, we want to 

appreciably increase our  

net income figure year over 

year.  We will accomplish 

that by continuing our focus 

to resolve problem assets.  

expenses.  We were able to 
reduce noninterest expense by 
almost 21% in 2011.  While we 
will not see that decrease in 
2012, we will see a shift in 
resource allocation as 
mentioned before, which will 
bring greater efficiencies to the 
company.  We anticipate legal 
expenses associated with 
problem credits to decrease in 
2012, which will also help lower 
noninterest expenses. 

Given the continued issues of 
the economies in our markets, 
these are aggressive goals for 
2012, but ones we feel we can 
attain.  With these achievements, 
the company will be well 
positioned to become a strong 
performer and a market leader 
for 2013.  All of this leads to 
value enhancement for our 
stockholders who have 
supported our efforts these past 
years.  We thank you and look 
forward to an exciting 2012.

track with our TARP payments 
before the end of 2012.  In 
March 2012, we announced that 
we had received permission to 
pay our most recent quarterly 
TARP dividend, and we paid all 
accrued interest on the 
previously deferred dividends as 
well as all outstanding interest 
payments on our trust preferred 
obligation.

For 2012, we want to 
appreciably increase our net 
income figure year over year.   
We will accomplish that by 
continuing our focus to resolve 
problem assets.  A continued 
reduction in non-performing 
loans creates earnings power in 
the balance sheet and allows our 
loan officers more time to bring 
new profitable relationships into 
the bank.  On the liability side  
of the balance sheet, we are 
continuing our strict pricing 
discipline instituted last year.  
Cost of deposits dropped 
consistently throughout 2011, 
and that trend will continue into 
most of 2012.  We are also 
working with our retail team to 
change our deposit mix through 
sales of commercial and small 
business demand accounts and 
our consumer Rewards Checking 
product.

Lastly, we continue to keep a 
tight hand on noninterest

BUSINESS  

General  

PART I  

Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the “Company”) is a bank holding company that was incorporated under Delaware 
law  on  April 6,  2005.  The  Company  is  headquartered  in  Glen  Allen,  Virginia  and  is  the  holding  company  for  Essex  Bank  (the 
“Bank”), a Virginia state bank with 24 full-service offices in Virginia, Maryland and Georgia. 

The  Bank  was  established  in  1926  and  is  headquartered  in  Tappahannock,  Virginia.  The  Bank  engages  in  a  general 
commercial banking business and provides a wide range of financial services, including individual and commercial demand and time 
deposit  accounts,  commercial  and  consumer  loans,  mortgage  loans,  investment  services,  on-line  and  mobile  banking  products  and 
safety deposit box facilities. Thirteen offices are located in Virginia, primarily from the Chesapeake Bay to just west of Richmond, 
seven  are  located  in  Maryland  along  the  Baltimore-Washington  corridor  and  four  are  located  in  the  Atlanta,  Georgia  metropolitan 
market. 

Essex Services, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank and was formed to sell title insurance to the Bank’s mortgage 
loan  customers.  Essex  Services,  Inc.  also  offers  insurance  products  through  an  ownership  interest  in  Bankers  Insurance,  LLC  and 
investment products through an affiliation with Infinex Investments, Inc.  

The  Company’s  corporate  headquarters  are  located  at  4235  Innslake  Drive,  Suite 200,  Glen  Allen,  Virginia  23060.  The 

telephone number of the corporate headquarters is (804) 934-9999.  

Strategy 

The  Company’s  strategy  is  to  be  recognized  as  the  premier  provider  of  financial  services  in  the  markets  that  it  serves, 
building  trust  and  confidence  in  the  relationships  with  its  customers  through  superior  service,  competency,  accuracy,  courtesy  and 
safety and soundness at all times. 

During  2011,  the  Company  formally  adopted  a  no-growth  model,  as  it  focused  on  consolidating  and  strengthening  the 
operating procedures and overall management of the existing bank franchise and working through the requirements of a formal written 
agreement into which the Company and the Bank entered with its federal and state regulators in April 2011.  The Company had grown 
substantially through mergers and acquisitions in 2008 and 2009, and the growth strained the Company’s organizational structure and 
the effectiveness of risk management programs appropriate for an organization of its size, complexity and risk profile.  In 2011, the 
Company focused primarily on improvements in its credit risk practices and the resolution of issues with its non-performing assets, 
and the Company believes that it has taken all steps to properly address these issues.   

The Company has adopted and implemented a formal strategic plan that centers on a return to consistent core profitability, 
while continuing with its objectives of strong credit risk practices and resolution of non-performing assets.  An aggressive decrease in 
non-performing loans has the ability to raise profitability significantly for the near term.  Additionally, the Company has identified 
three core new production competencies to improve on that will also increase income in the near term – consumer and small business 
banking, commercial and industrial lending and real estate lending.  The Company is placing less focus on real estate development and 
financing  to  consistently  reduce  the  existing  concentrations  in  that  area  of  the  Bank’s  loan  portfolio  given  the  risk  exposure  and  
current economic conditions. The last large profit driver of the Company is the continued management of the shared-loss agreements 
with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) to match the income and cost component with the Company’s current 
operating strategy.   

As it works through priorities and key initiatives in its strategic plan, the Company maintains the following specific priorities: 

•  Gaining operating efficiencies through centralization and affordable technology 
•  Ensuring gains in competitive market share through specific focus in the markets that the Company serves 
•  Creating a front-line sales oriented culture focused on total relationship banking including low-cost deposits 
•  Aggressively managing the loan portfolios and loans covered by the shared-loss agreements with the FDIC 
•  Enhancing fee-income business lines 
•  Exiting unprofitable markets and lines of business 
•  Continuing the implementation of risk management initiatives 

3 

 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company believes that the continued successful execution on its strategies will enhance the major profit drivers of the 
Bank by increasing interest income and improving its efficiency and result in overall loan growth for better utilization of assets.    All 
of these factors will lead to an increase in profitability for stockholders. 

Efforts to Resolve Regulatory Matters 

On April 21, 2011, the Company and the Bank entered into a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond 
and the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the Virginia State Corporation Commission.  The written agreement arose from concerns 
identified  during  regulatory  examinations  and  was  based  on  the  supervisory  findings  from  an  examination  that  the  Reserve  Bank 
conducted in the third quarter of 2010.  Under the terms of the written agreement, the Bank agreed to develop and submit, within the 
time periods specified in it, its written plans with respect to the strengthening of board oversight of management and operations of the 
Bank and the strengthening of the Bank’s management and hiring, as necessary, additional or replacement personnel to address the 
findings of a management review.  In addition, the Bank agreed to develop and submit for approval, within the time periods specified 
in it, its written plans or programs with respect to the following: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

• 
• 

the strengthening and maintenance of credit risk management policies; 
the enhancement of the lending and credit administration program; 
the enhancement of the Bank’s loan review program; 
the  improvement  of  the  Bank’s  position  with  respect  to  loans,  relationships,  or  other  assets  (including  other  real 
estate owned) in excess of $1.0 million that are now or in the future become past due more than 90 days, that are on 
the Bank’s problem loan list, or that are adversely classified in any report of examination of the Bank; 
the enhancement of the Bank’s methodology for its allowance for loan and lease losses; and 
the maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses. 

Among  other  provisions  of  the  written  agreement,  the  Company  and  Bank  agreed  to  submit  for  approval  capital  plans  to 
maintain  sufficient  capital  at  the  Company,  on  a  consolidated  basis,  and  at  the  Bank,  on  a  stand-alone  basis,  and  to  refrain  from 
declaring or paying dividends absent prior regulatory approval.  The Bank also agreed to submit to the Reserve Bank and the Bureau 
both its strategic plan to improve the Bank’s earnings and its budget for 2011.  

The  Company  had  anticipated  entering  into  the  written  agreement  since  the  third  quarter  of  2010  and  thus  undertook 
numerous corrective actions in expectation of its requirements, and the written agreement did not reflect those actions.  As a result of 
those actions and additional actions that the Company has taken since April 2011, the Company and the Bank have taken all of the 
actions, and otherwise complied with all of the requirements, set forth above. 

In addition, through February 2011, the Company had deferred seven payments of its regular quarterly cash dividend with 
respect to its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which the Company issued 
to the United States Department of Treasury in connection with the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase 
Program  in  December  2008.    The  Company  had  also  deferred,  through  the  same  period,  the  payment  of  all  outstanding  interest 
payments under its trust preferred securities since September 30, 2010.  The payments of both the dividend on the Series A Preferred 
Stock and the interest on the trust preferred securities are subject to approval of the Company’s regulators, as set forth in the written 
agreement. 

On  March  15,  2012,  the  Company  received  the required regulatory  approval  for  the  February 2012 payment  of  its  regular 
quarterly  cash  dividend  with  respect  to  the  Series  A  Preferred  Stock  and  the  payment  of  all  outstanding  interest  payments  that the 
Company has deferred under its trust preferred securities since September 30, 2010.  The Company made both payments, and paid all 
outstanding interest on all Series A Preferred Stock dividend payments that the Company had previously deferred, on March 16, 2012. 

The  Company  believes  that  such  regulatory  approval  demonstrates  the  excellent  progress  that  the  Company  continues  to 
make  with  respect  to  its  regulatory  matters,  as  well  as  the  close  relationship  that  the  Company  has  with  its  regulators  to  actively 
address  every  supervisory  issue  regarding  its  safety  and  soundness.    While  the  Company  cannot  provide  any  assurances  as  to  the 
timing of more substantive relief under the written agreement or the repayment of its TARP obligations, the Company believes that its 
continuing  efforts  towards  reducing  non-performing  loans  and  increasing  profitability,  all  as  part  of  its  strategic  plan, will result  in 
such relief. 

Operations 

The Bank’s operating strategy is delineated by business lines and by the functional support areas that help accomplish the 
stated goals and financial budget of the organization.  A major component of future income is growth in three core business lines – 
retail and small business banking, commercial and industrial banking and real estate lending.  These core businesses, combined with 
the Bank’s geographic locations, dictate the market position that the Bank needs to take to be successful.  The Bank believes that new 
loan growth will occur in all three lines, and the retail segment provides the primary funding through core deposit relationships.

Retail and Small Business Banking  

The Bank markets to consumers in geographic areas around its branch network not only through existing bricks and mortar, 
but also with alternative delivery mechanisms and new product development such as online banking, remote deposit capture, mobile 
banking and telephonic banking.  In addition, the Bank attracts new customers by making its service through these distributions points 
convenient.  All of the Bank’s existing markets are prime targets for expanding the consumer side of its business with full loan and 
deposit relationships, and the Bank has restructured its retail group to accommodate growth.   

Commercial and Industrial Banking 

In  the  commercial  and  industrial  banking  group,  the  Bank  focuses  on  small  to  mid-sized  business  customers  (sales  of  $5 
million to $15 million each year) who are not targeted  by larger banks and for whom smaller community banks have no expertise.  
The Bank has experienced teams in Virginia, Georgia and Maryland, and the Bank has a strong loan pipeline going into 2012.  The 
typical relationship consists of working capital lines and equipment loans with the primary deposit accounts of the customer.  Most of 
these relationships will be new to the Bank and create strong and positive growth potential. 

Commercial Real Estate Lending 

The Bank has historically held a significant concentration in real estate loans.  The current strategy is to reduce the number of 
real  estate  acquisition,  development  and  construction  loans  and  replace  them  with  income  producing  property  loans.    The  Bank 
originates both owner occupied and non owner occupied borrowings where the cash flows provide significant debt coverage for the 
relationship. 

Competition  

Within  its  market  areas  in  Virginia,  Georgia  and  Maryland,  the  Bank  operates  in  a  highly  competitive  environment, 
competing  for  deposits  and  loans  with  commercial  corporations,  savings  banks  and  other  financial  institutions,  including  non-bank 
competitors,  many  of  which  possess  substantially  greater  financial  resources  than  those  available  to  the  Bank.  Many  of  these 
institutions  have  significantly  higher  lending  limits  than  the  Bank.  In  addition,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  other  financial 
institutions, with substantially greater resources than the Bank, will not establish operations in its service area. The financial services 
industry remains highly competitive and is constantly evolving. 

The activities in which we engage are highly competitive. Financial institutions such as savings and loan associations, credit 
unions, consumer finance companies, insurance companies, brokerage companies and other financial institutions with varying degrees 
of regulatory restrictions compete vigorously for a share of the financial services market. Brokerage and insurance companies continue 
to become more competitive in the financial services arena and pose an ever increasing challenge to banks. Legislative changes also 
greatly  affect  the  level  of  competition  that  we  face.  Federal  legislation  allows  credit  unions  to  use  their  expanded  membership 
capabilities, combined with tax-free status, to compete more fiercely for traditional bank business. The tax-free status granted to credit 
unions provides them a significant competitive advantage. Many of the largest banks operating in Virginia, Maryland and Georgia, 
including some of the largest banks in the country, have offices in our market areas. Many of these institutions have capital resources, 
broader  geographic  markets,  and  legal  lending  limits  substantially  in  excess  of  those  available  to  us.  We  face  competition  from 
institutions that offer products and services that we do not or cannot currently offer. Some institutions with which we compete offer 
interest  rate  levels  on  loan  and  deposit  products  that  we  are  unwilling  to  offer  due  to  interest  rate  risk  and  overall  profitability 
concerns. We expect the level of competition to increase.  

Factors such as rates offered on loan and deposit products, types of products offered, and the number and location of branch 
offices,  as  well  as  the  reputation  of  institutions  in  the  market,  affect  competition  for  loans  and  deposits.  The  Bank  emphasizes 
customer service, establishing long-term relationships with its customers, thereby creating customer loyalty, and providing adequate 
product lines for individuals and small to medium-sized business customers.  

The  Company  would  not  be  materially  or  adversely  impacted  by  the  loss  of  a  single  customer.  The  Company  is  not 

dependent upon a single or a few customers.  

Company History  

Formation and Initial Capitalization  

The  Company  was  initially  formed  as  a  special  purpose  acquisition  company  under  the  name  “Community  Bankers 
Acquisition  Corp.”  As  a  “Targeted  Acquisition  Corporation”SM  or  “TAC,”SM  the  Company  was  formed  to  effect  a  merger,  capital 
stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in the banking industry. Prior to its

acquisition of two bank holding companies in 2008, the Company’s activities were limited to organizational matters, completing its 
initial  public  offering  and  seeking  and  evaluating  possible  business  combination  opportunities.  On  May 31,  2008,  the  Company 
acquired each of TransCommunity Financial Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“TFC”), and BOE Financial Services of Virginia, 
Inc., a Virginia corporation (“BOE”). The Company changed its corporate name in connection with the acquisitions.  

On  June 8,  2006,  the  Company  consummated  its  initial  public  offering  of  7,500,000 units,  which  commenced  trading  on 
NYSE  Amex  under  the  symbol  “BTC.U”.  Each  unit  consisted  of  one  share  of  common  stock  and  one  redeemable  common  stock 
purchase warrant. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase from the Company one share of our common stock at an exercise price 
of $5.00 per share. The Company’s common stock and warrants started trading separately on NYSE Amex as of September 5, 2006, 
under the symbols “BTC” and “BTC.WS,” respectively. The warrants expired on June 4, 2011. 

Acquisitions of TFC and BOE  

On  May 31,  2008,  the  Company  acquired  TFC  in  a  merger  transaction.  In  connection  with  this  merger,  TransCommunity 
Bank, N.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TFC, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the merger 
agreement, each share of TFC’s issued and outstanding common stock was converted into 1.4200 shares of the Company’s common 
stock.  

The  transaction  with  TFC  was  valued  at  $51.8 million.  Total  consideration  paid  to  TFC  shareholders  consisted  of 
6,544,840 shares  of  the  Company’s  common  stock  issued.  The  transaction  resulted  in  total  assets  acquired  as  of  May 31,  2008  of 
$267.6 million, including $243.3 million of loans, and liabilities assumed were $240.2 million, including $234.1 million of deposits. 
As a result of the merger, the Company recorded $20 million of goodwill and $5.3 million of core deposit intangibles.  

TFC  was  a  financial  holding  company  and  the  parent  company  of  TransCommunity  Bank,  N.A.  TFC  had  been  formed  in 
March 2001, principally in response to perceived opportunities resulting from the takeover in recent years of a number of Virginia-
based  banks by  national  and  regional  banking  institutions.  Until  June 29,  2007,  TFC  was  the holding  company  for four  separately-
chartered banking subsidiaries — Bank of Powhatan, Bank of Goochland, Bank of Louisa and Bank of Rockbridge. On June 29, 2007, 
these four subsidiaries were consolidated into a new TransCommunity Bank. Each former subsidiary then operated as a division of 
TransCommunity Bank, but retained its name and local identity in the community that it served. Following the Company’s acquisition 
of  TFC  until  2010,  the  former  branch  offices  of  TFC  operated  as  separate  divisions  under  the  Bank’s  charter,  using  the  names  of 
TFC’s former banking subsidiaries.  

In addition, on May 31, 2008, the Company acquired BOE in a merger transaction.  In connection with this merger, the Bank, 
then  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  BOE,  became  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  the  Company.  Under  the  terms  of  the  merger 
agreement, each share of BOE’s issued and outstanding common stock was converted into 5.7278 shares of the Company’s common 
stock.  

The  transaction  with  BOE  was  valued  at  $54.6 million.  Total  consideration  paid  to  BOE  shareholders  consisted  of 
6,957,405 shares  of  the  Company’s  common  stock  issued.  This  transaction  resulted  in  total  assets  acquired  as  of  May 31,  2008  of 
$317.0 million, including $234.7 million of loans, and liabilities assumed were $288.6 million, including $257.4 million of deposits. 
As a result of the merger, the Company recorded $17.2 million of goodwill and $9.7 million of core deposit intangibles.  

BOE was incorporated under Virginia law in 2000 to become the holding company for the Bank.  

Both transactions were valued at a combined $106.4 million. The transactions resulted in total assets acquired as of May 31, 
2008  of  $584.5 million,  including $478.0 million  of  loans,  and  liabilities  assumed  were  $528.9 million,  including  $491.5 million  of 
deposits.  As  a  result  of  the  mergers,  the  Company  recorded  a  total  of  $37.2 million  of  goodwill  and  $15.0 million  of  core  deposit 
intangibles.  

Consolidation of Banking Operations  

Immediately  following  the  mergers  with  TFC  and  BOE,  the  Company  operated  TransCommunity  Bank  and  the  Bank  as 
separate banking subsidiaries. Effective July 31, 2008, TransCommunity Bank was consolidated into the Bank under the Bank’s state 
charter. As a result, the Company was a one-bank holding company as of the September 30, 2008 reporting date.  

Until 2010, TransCommunity Bank’s offices operated under the Bank of Goochland, Bank of Powhatan, Bank of Louisa and 

Bank of Rockbridge division names.

Acquisition of Georgia Operations  

On November 21, 2008, the Bank acquired limited assets and assumed all deposit liabilities relating to four former branch 
offices of The Community Bank (“TCB”), a Georgia state-chartered bank. The transaction was consummated pursuant to a Purchase 
and Assumption Agreement, dated November 21, 2008, by and among the FDIC, as Receiver for The Community Bank and the Bank.  

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, the Bank assumed approximately $619 million in deposits, 
approximately  $233.9 million  of  which  were  deemed  to  be  core deposits,  and  paid  the  FDIC  a  premium  of  1.36%  on  all  deposits, 
amounting to approximately $3.2 million. All deposits have been fully assumed, and all deposits insured prior to the closing of the 
transaction maintain their current insurance coverage. Other than loans fully secured by deposit accounts, the Bank did not purchase 
any loans.  

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, the Bank had 60 days to evaluate and, at its sole option, 
purchase  any of  the  remaining TCB  loans.  The  Bank purchased  175 loans  totaling  $21 million  on  January 9, 2009.  In  addition,  the 
Bank purchased the former banking premises of TCB. The transaction was accounted for as an asset purchase.  

Issuance of Preferred Stock  

On December 19, 2008, the Company issued 17,680 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and a related common stock warrant 
to  the  United  States  Department  of  the  Treasury  for  a  total  price  of  $17,680,000.  The  issuance  and  receipt  of  proceeds  from  the 
Department of the Treasury were made under its voluntary Capital Purchase Program. The Series A Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 
capital.  

The  Series A  Preferred  Stock  has  a  liquidation  amount  per  share  equal  to  $1,000.  The  Series A  Preferred  Stock  pays 
cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years and thereafter at a rate of 9% per year. The common stock warrant 
permits the Department of the Treasury to purchase 780,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.40 per share.  

Acquisition of Maryland Operations  

On January 30, 2009, the Bank acquired substantially all assets and assumed all deposit and certain other liabilities relating to 
seven  former  branch  offices  of  Suburban  Federal  Savings  Bank,  Crofton,  Maryland  (“SFSB”).  The  transaction  was  consummated 
pursuant to a Purchase and Assumption Agreement, dated January 30, 2009, by and among the FDIC, as Receiver for SFSB and the 
Bank. 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, the Bank assumed approximately $303 million in deposits, 
all of which were deemed to be core deposits. The Bank purchased approximately $362 million in loans (based on contract value) and 
other assets. The Bank has entered into a shared-loss arrangement with the FDIC with respect to loans and real estate assets acquired. 
These  are  referred  to  as  covered  assets.  All  deposits  have  been  fully  assumed,  and  all  deposits  maintain  their  current  insurance 
coverage. The Bank bid a negative $45 million for the net assets acquired.   

Employees  

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately 266 full-time equivalent employees, including executive officers, 
loan  and  other  banking  officers,  branch  personnel,  operations  personnel  and  other  support  personnel.  None  of  the  Company’s 
employees is represented by a union or covered under a collective bargaining agreement. Management of the Company considers its 
employee relations to be excellent.

Supervision and Regulation  

General  

As a bank holding company, we are subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the 
“BHCA”), and the examination and reporting requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal 
Reserve”). Other federal and state laws govern the activities of our bank subsidiary, including the activities in which it may engage, 
the investments that it makes, the aggregate amount of loans that it may grant to one borrower, and the dividends it may declare and 
pay  to  us.  Our  bank  subsidiary  is  also  subject  to  various  consumer  and  compliance  laws.  As  a  state-chartered  bank,  the  Bank  is 
primarily subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the Virginia State Corporation 
Commission (the “SCC”). Our bank subsidiary also is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the FDIC.  

The  following  description  discusses  certain  provisions  of  federal  and  state  laws  and  certain  regulations  and  the  potential 
impact of such provisions on the Company and the Bank. These federal and state laws and regulations have been enacted generally for 
the protection of depositors in banks and not for the protection of stockholders of bank holding companies or banks.  

The Dodd-Frank Act   

In  July  2010,  President  Obama  signed  into  law  the  Dodd-Frank  Wall  Street  Reform  and  Consumer  Protection  Act  (the 
“Dodd-Frank Act”). The Dodd-Frank Act will have a significant impact on financial institutions, with increased regulatory and compliance 
requirements.  A summary of certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act is set forth below:  

Increased Capital Standards.  The federal banking agencies are required to establish minimum leverage and risk-based capital 
requirements  for  banks  and  bank  holding  companies.  These  new  standards  will  be  no  lower  than  current  regulatory  capital  and 
leverage standards and may, in fact, be higher when established by the agencies.  

Deposit  Insurance.    The  Dodd-Frank  Act  makes  permanent  the  $250,000  deposit  insurance  limit  for  insured  deposits. 
Amendments to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act also revise the assessment base against which an insured depository institution’s 
deposit  insurance  premiums  paid  to  the  Deposit  Insurance  Fund,  (the  “DIF”),  will  be  calculated.  Under  the  amendments,  the 
assessment base will no longer be the institution’s deposit base, but rather its average consolidated total assets less its average tangible 
equity during the assessment period.  Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act makes changes to the minimum designated reserve ratio of the 
DIF, increasing the minimum from 1.15% to 1.35% of the estimated amount of total insured deposits and eliminating the requirement 
that the FDIC pay dividends to depository institutions when the reserve ratio exceeds certain thresholds. In December 2010, the FDIC 
increased the reserve ratio to 2.0%. The Dodd- Frank Act also provides that, effective one year after the date of enactment, depository 
institutions may pay interest on demand deposits. See “- Deposit Insurance” below. 

Enhanced Lending Limits. The Dodd-Frank Act strengthens the existing limits on a depository institution’s credit exposure to 
one borrower. Current banking law limits a depository institution’s ability to extend credit to one person (or group of related persons) 
in an amount exceeding certain thresholds.  

The  Bureau  Consumer  Financial  Protection  (the“BCFP”).    The  Dodd-Frank  Act  creates  the  BCFP  within  the  Federal 
Reserve. The BCFP will establish rules and regulations under certain federal consumer protection laws with respect to the conduct of 
providers of certain consumer financial products and services. See “- Consumer Financial Protection” below. 

Compensation  Practices.    The  Dodd-Frank  Act  provides  that  the  appropriate  federal  regulators  must  establish  standards 
prohibiting as an unsafe and unsound practice any compensation plan of a bank holding company or bank that provides an insider or 
other employee with “excessive compensation” or could lead to a material financial loss to such firm. In June 2010, prior to the Dodd-
Frank  Act,  the  bank  regulatory  agencies  promulgated  the  Interagency  Guidance  on  Sound  Incentive  Compensation  Policies,  which 
requires that financial institutions establish metrics for measuring the impact of activities to achieve incentive compensation with the 
related risk to the financial institution of such behavior. See “- Incentive Compensation”. 

The  requirements  of  the Dodd-Frank Act will  significantly  affect  banks  and  other financial  institutions. However, because 
much of these requirements will be phased in over time and will not become effective until federal agency rulemaking initiatives are 
completed, the Company cannot fully assess the impact of Dodd-Frank Act on the Company.  The Company does believe, however, 
that short- and long-term compliance costs for the Company and the Bank will be greater because of the Dodd-Frank Act. 

Bank Holding Companies  

The  Company  is  registered  as  a  bank  holding  company  under  the  BHCA  and,  as  a  result,  is  subject  to  regulation  by  the 
Federal  Reserve.  The  Federal  Reserve  has  jurisdiction  under  the  BHCA  to  approve  any  bank  or  nonbank  acquisition,  merger  or 

8 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
consolidation  proposed  by  a  bank  holding  company.  The  BHCA  generally  limits  the  activities  of  a  bank  holding  company  and  its 
subsidiaries  to  that  of  banking,  managing  or  controlling  banks,  or  any  other  activity  that  is  so  closely  related  to  banking  or  to 
managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident to it. Under the BHCA, the Company is subject to periodic examination by 
the  Federal  Reserve  and  is  required  to file periodic reports  regarding  its  operations  and  any  additional  information  that  the  Federal 
Reserve may require.  

Federal  law  permits  bank  holding  companies  from  any  state  to  acquire  banks  and  bank  holding  companies  located  in  any 
other state. The law allows interstate bank mergers, subject to “opt-in or opt-out” action by individual states. Virginia adopted early 
“opt-in” legislation that allows interstate bank mergers. These laws also permit interstate branch acquisitions and de novo branching in 
Virginia by out-of-state banks if reciprocal treatment is accorded Virginia banks in the state of the acquirer.  

There  are  a  number  of  obligations  and  restrictions  imposed  on  bank  holding  companies  and  their  depository  institution 
subsidiaries by federal law and regulatory policy that are designed to reduce potential loss exposure to the depositor of such depository 
institutions  and  to  the  FDIC  insurance  fund  in  the  event  the  depository  institution  becomes  in  danger  of  default  or  in  default.  For 
example, under a policy of the Federal Reserve with respect to bank holding company operations, a bank holding company is required 
to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in 
circumstances where it might not do so otherwise.  

The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) also provides that amounts received from the liquidation or other resolution of 
any insured depository institution by any receiver must be distributed (after payment of secured claims) to pay the deposit liabilities of 
the  institution  prior  to  payment  of  any  other  general  or  unsecured  senior  liability,  subordinated  liability,  general  creditor  or 
stockholders in the event that a receiver is appointed to distribute the assets of the Bank.  

The Company was required to register in Virginia with the State Corporation Commission (the “SCC”) under the financial 

institution holding company laws of Virginia. Accordingly, the Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the SCC.  

Capital Requirements and Dividends 

The  Federal  Reserve  has  issued  risk-based  and  leverage  capital  guidelines  applicable  to  banking  organizations  that  it 
supervises. Under the risk-based capital requirements, the Company and the Bank are each generally required to maintain a minimum 
ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) of 8%. At 
least  half  of  the  total  capital  must  be  composed  of  “Tier 1  Capital,”  which  is  defined  as  common  equity,  retained  earnings  and 
qualifying  perpetual  preferred  stock,  less  certain  intangibles.  The  remainder  may  consist  of  “Tier 2  Capital,”  which  is  defined  as 
specific subordinated debt, some hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying preferred stock and a limited amount of the loan loss 
allowance.  In  addition,  each  of  the  federal  banking  regulatory  agencies  has  established  minimum  leverage  capital  requirements  for 
banking organizations. Under these requirements, banking organizations must maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted 
average  quarterly  assets  equal  to  3%  to  5%,  subject  to  federal  bank  regulatory  evaluation  of  an  organization’s  overall  safety  and 
soundness. In summary, the capital measures used by the federal banking regulators are:  

o  Total  risk-based  capital  ratio,  which  is  the  total  of  Tier 1  Capital  and  Tier 2  Capital  as  a  percentage  of  total  risk-

weighted assets;  

o  Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, which is Tier 1 Capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets; and  
o  Leverage ratio, which is Tier 1 Capital as a percentage of adjusted average total assets.  

Under these regulations, a bank will be:  

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

“Well capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or 
greater,  a  leverage  ratio  of  5%  or  greater,  and  is  not  subject  to  any  written  agreement,  order,  capital  directive,  or 
prompt corrective action directive by a federal bank regulatory agency to meet and maintain a specific capital level 
for any capital measure;  
“Adequately capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 
4% or greater, and a leverage ratio of 4% or greater — or 3% in certain circumstances — and is not well capitalized;  
“Undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8% or greater, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio 
of less than 4%, and a leverage ratio of less than 4% — or 3% in certain circumstances;  
“Significantly undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, a tier 1 risk-based capital 
ratio of less than 3%, or a leverage ratio of less than 3%; or  
“Critically undercapitalized” if its tangible equity is equal to or less than 2% of average quarterly tangible assets.  

The risk-based capital standards of the Federal Reserve explicitly identify concentrations of credit risk and the risk arising 
from non-traditional activities, as well as an institution’s ability to manage these risks, as important factors to be taken into account by 
the agency in assessing an institution’s overall capital adequacy. The capital guidelines also provide that an institution’s exposure to a 
9 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
  
 
decline in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates be considered by the agency as a factor in evaluating a 
banking organization’s capital adequacy.  

The  FDIC  may  take  various  corrective  actions  against  any  undercapitalized  bank  and  any  bank  that  fails  to  submit  an 
acceptable capital restoration plan or fails to implement a plan accepted by the FDIC. These powers include, but are not limited to, 
requiring the institution to be recapitalized, prohibiting asset growth, restricting interest rates paid, requiring prior approval of capital 
distributions by any bank holding company that controls the institution, requiring divestiture by the institution of its subsidiaries or by 
the holding company of the institution itself, requiring new election of directors, and requiring the dismissal of directors and officers. 
The Bank presently maintains sufficient capital to remain in compliance with these capital requirements.  

The  Company  is  a  legal  entity  separate  and  distinct  from  the  Bank.  Virtually  all  of  the  Company’s  revenues  are  from 
dividends paid to the Company by the Bank. The Bank is subject to laws and regulations that limit the amount of dividends it can pay. 
In  addition,  both  the  Company  and  the  Bank  are  subject  to  various  regulatory  restrictions  relating  to  the  payment  of  dividends, 
including  requirements  to  maintain  capital  at  or  above  regulatory  minimums.  Banking  regulators  have  indicated  that  banking 
organizations should generally pay dividends only if the organization’s net income available to common shareholders over the past 
year  has  been  sufficient  to  fully  fund  the  dividends  and  the  prospective  rate  of  earnings  retention  appears  consistent  with  the 
organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Bank paid 
$1.5 million in dividends to the Company. The Company paid $1.3 million in dividends to its preferred and common shareholders in 
2010.  Neither the Company nor the Bank paid any dividends in 2011. 

The  FDIC  has  the  general  authority  to  limit  the  dividends  paid  by  insured  banks  if  the  payment  is  deemed  an  unsafe  and 
unsound practice. The FDIC has indicated that paying dividends that deplete a bank’s capital base to an inadequate level would be an 
unsound and unsafe banking practice.  

Deposit Insurance  

In October 2010, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC established 2.0% as the designated reserve ratio (“DRR”), the 
ratio of the DIF to insured deposits. The FDIC has adopted a plan under which it will meet the statutory minimum DRR of 1.35% by 
September 30,  2020,  the  deadline  imposed  by  the  Dodd-Frank  Act.  The  Dodd-Frank  Act  requires  the  FDIC  to  offset  the  effect  on 
institutions  with  assets  less  than  $10  billion  of  the  increase  in  the  statutory  minimum  DRR  to  1.35%  from  the  former  statutory 
minimum of 1.15%. The final rule allows the FDIC to increase or decrease total base assessment rates by no more than 2 basis points 
from  one  quarter  to  the  next,  and  cumulative  increases  and  decreases  cannot  be  2  basis  points  higher  or  lower  than  the  total  base 
assessment rates.  

On  November 9,  2010  and  January 18,  2011,  pursuant  to  the  Dodd-Frank  Act,  the  FDIC  adopted  rules  providing  for 
unlimited deposit insurance for traditional noninterest-bearing transaction accounts and Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts for two 
years starting December 31, 2010. This coverage applies to all insured deposit institutions and there is no separate FDIC assessment 
for the insurance. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available 
to depositors under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules.  

On February 7, 2011, the FDIC adopted a final rule, which redefines the deposit insurance assessment base as required by the 
Dodd-Frank  Act;  makes  changes  to  assessment  rates;  implements  the  Dodd-Frank  Act’s  DIF  dividend  provisions;  and,  revises  the 
risk-based assessment system for all large insured depository institutions, generally, those institutions with at least $10 billion in total 
assets. It is expected that nearly all of the 7,600-plus institutions with assets less than $10 billion will pay smaller assessments as a 
result of this final rule. For institutions less than $10 billion the following rules apply:  

•  Redefines the deposit insurance assessment base as average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity;  
•  Makes generally conforming changes to the unsecured debt and brokered deposit adjustments to assessment rates;  
•  Creates a depository institution debt adjustment;  
•  Eliminates the secured liability adjustment; and  
•  Adopts a new assessment rate schedule effective April 1, 2011, and, in lieu of dividends, other rate schedules when 

the reserve ratio reaches certain levels.  

This final rule and its total impact on the Company remain unclear at this time. A school of thought regarding the redefined 
deposit  insurance  assessment  base  calculation  and  the  resulting  lowered  insurance  assessments  is  that  it  may  or  may  not  offset  the 
expected  competition  for  deposits  by  larger  banks,  thereby  increasing  overall  deposit  competition  and  increasing  the  cost  of  those 
funds in the marketplace. The Company cannot provide any assurance as to the effect of any proposed change in its deposit insurance 
premium rate, should such a change occur, as such changes are dependent upon a variety of factors, some of which are beyond the 
Company’s  control.  The  final  rule  toke  effect  for  the  quarter  beginning  April 1,  2011, and was  reflected  in  the  June 30,  2011  fund 
balance and the invoices for assessments due September 30, 2011.

Incentive Compensation 

In  June 2010,  the  federal  banking  regulators  issued  comprehensive  final  guidance  on  incentive  compensation  policies 
intended to ensure that the incentive compensation policies of banking organizations do not undermine the safety and soundness of 
such organizations by encouraging excessive risk-taking. The guidance, which covers all employees that have the ability to materially 
affect  the  risk  profile  of  an  organization,  either  individually  or  as  part  of  a  group,  is  based  upon  the  key  principles  that  a  banking 
organization’s  incentive  compensation  arrangements  should  (i) provide  incentives  that  do  not  encourage  risk-taking  beyond  the 
organization’s ability to effectively identify and manage risks, (ii) be compatible with effective internal controls and risk management, 
and  (iii) be  supported  by  strong  corporate  governance,  including  active  and  effective  oversight  by  the  organization’s  Board  of 
Directors. 

The  Federal  Reserve  will  review,  as  part  of  the  regular,  risk-focused  examination  process,  the  incentive  compensation 
arrangements of banking organizations, such as the Company, that are not “large, complex banking organizations.” These reviews will 
be  tailored  to  each  organization  based  on  the  scope  and  complexity  of  the  organization’s  activities  and  the  prevalence  of  incentive 
compensation arrangements. The findings of the supervisory initiatives will be included in reports of examination. Deficiencies will be 
incorporated into the organization’s supervisory ratings, which can affect the organization’s ability to make acquisitions and take other 
actions. Enforcement actions may be taken against a banking organization if its incentive compensation arrangements, or related risk-
management control or governance processes, pose a risk to the organization’s safety and soundness and the organization is not taking 
prompt  and  effective  measures  to  correct  the  deficiencies.  At  December  31,  2011,  the  Company  had  not  been  made  aware  of  any 
instances of non-compliance with the new guidance. 

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999  

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 draws lines between the types of activities that are permitted for banking organizations 
that  are  financial  in  nature  and  those  that  are  not  permitted  because  they  are  commercial  in  nature.  The  Act  imposes  Community 
Reinvestment Act requirements on financial service organizations that seek to qualify for the expanded powers to engage in broader 
financial activities and affiliations with financial companies that the Act permits.  

The Act created a new form of financial organization called a financial holding company that may own and control banks, 
insurance  companies  and  securities  firms.  A  financial  holding  company  is  authorized  to  engage  in  any  activity  that  is  financial  in 
nature  or  incidental  to  an  activity  that  is  financial  in  nature  or  is  a  complementary  activity.  These  activities  include  insurance, 
securities transactions and traditional banking related activities. The Act establishes a consultative and cooperative procedure between 
the Federal Reserve and the Secretary of the Treasury for the designation of new activities that are financial in nature within the scope 
of the activities permitted by the Act for a financial holding company. A financial holding company must satisfy special criteria to 
qualify  for  the  expanded  financial  powers  authorized  by  the  Act.  Among  those  criteria  are  requirements  that  all  of  the  depository 
institutions  owned  by  the  financial  holding  company  be  rated  as  well-capitalized  and  well-managed  and  that  all  of  its  insured 
depository institutions have received a satisfactory ratio for Community Reinvestment Act compliance during their last examination. 
A  bank  holding  company  that  does  not  qualify  as  a  financial  holding  company  under  the  Act  is  generally  limited  in  the  types  of 
activities in which it may engage to those that the Federal Reserve has recognized as permissible for bank holding companies prior to 
the date of enactment of the Act. The Act also authorizes a state bank to have a financial subsidiary that engages as a principal in the 
same activities that are permitted for a financial subsidiary of a national bank if the state bank meets eligibility criteria and special 
conditions for maintaining the financial subsidiary.  

The Act repealed the prohibition in the Glass-Steagall Act on bank affiliations with companies that are engaged primarily in 
securities underwriting activities. The Act authorizes a financial holding company to engage in a wide range of securities activities, 
including underwriting, broker/dealer activities and investment company and investment advisory activities. The Company currently is 
not a financial holding company under the Act.  

Under  the  Act,  federal  banking  regulators  were  required  to  adopt  rules  limiting  the  ability  of  banks  and  other  financial 
institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. These limitations require disclosure of 
privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to a 
nonaffiliated third party. Pursuant to these rules, financial  institutions must provide: initial notices to customers about their privacy 
policies, including a description of the conditions under which they may disclose nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third 
parties and affiliates; annual notices of their privacy policies to current customers; and a reasonable method for customers to “opt out” 
of  disclosures  to  nonaffiliated  third  parties.  These  privacy  provisions  will  affect  how  consumer  information  is  transmitted  through 
diversified financial companies and conveyed to outside vendors.  

USA Patriot Act of 2001  

In October 2001, the USA Patriot Act was enacted to facilitate information sharing among entities within the government and 
financial institutions to combat terrorist activities and to expose money laundering. The USA Patriot Act is considered a significant 

11 

 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
piece  of  banking  law  with  regard  to  disclosure  of  information  related  to  certain  customer  transactions.  Financial  institutions  are 
permitted  to  share  information  with  one  another,  after  notifying  the  United  States  Department  of  the  Treasury,  in  order  to  better 
identify  and  report  to  the  federal  government  activities  that  may  involve  terrorist  activities  or  money  laundering.  Under  the  USA 
Patriot Act, financial institutions are obligated to establish anti-money laundering programs, including the development of a customer 
identification program and to review all customers against any list of the government that contains the names of known or suspected 
terrorists. The USA Patriot Act does not have a material or adverse impact on the Bank’s products or services but compliance with this 
act creates a cost of compliance and a reporting obligation.  

Community Reinvestment Act  

Under  the  Community  Reinvestment  Act  (“CRA”)  and  related  regulations,  depository  institutions  have  an  affirmative 
obligation to assist in meeting the credit needs of their market areas, including low and moderate-income areas, consistent with safe 
and  sound  banking  practice.  CRA  requires  the  adoption  of  a  statement  for  each  of  its  market  areas  describing  the  depository 
institution’s efforts to assist in its community’s credit needs.  Depository institutions are periodically examined for compliance with 
CRA  and  are  periodically  assigned  ratings  in  this  regard.  Banking  regulators  consider  a  depository  institution’s  CRA  rating  when 
reviewing  applications  to  establish  new  branches,  undertake  new  lines  of  business,  and/or  acquire  part  or  all  of  another  depository 
institution. An unsatisfactory rating can significantly delay or even prohibit regulatory approval of a proposed transaction by a bank 
holding company or its depository institution subsidiaries.  

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and federal bank regulators have made various changes to CRA. Among other changes, CRA 
agreements with private parties must be disclosed and annual reports must be made to a bank’s primary federal regulator. A financial 
holding company or any of its subsidiaries will not be permitted to engage in new activities authorized under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley 
Act if any bank subsidiary received less than a “satisfactory” rating in its latest CRA examination. The Company believes that it is 
currently in compliance with CRA.  

Fair Lending; Consumer Laws  

In  addition  to  CRA,  other  federal  and  state  laws  regulate  various  lending  and  consumer  aspects  of  the  banking  business. 
Governmental  agencies,  including  the  Department  of  Housing  and  Urban  Development,  the  Federal  Trade  Commission  and  the 
Department of Justice, have become concerned that prospective borrowers experience discrimination in their efforts to obtain loans 
from  depository  and  other  lending  institutions.  These  agencies  have  brought  litigation  against  depository  institutions  alleging 
discrimination against borrowers. Many of these suits have been settled, in some cases for material sums, short of a full trial.  

These  governmental  agencies  have  clarified  what  they  consider  to  be  lending  discrimination  and  have  specified  various 
factors that they will use to determine the existence of lending discrimination under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the  Fair 
Housing Act, including evidence that a lender discriminated on a prohibited basis, evidence that a lender treated applicants differently 
based  on  prohibited  factors  in  the  absence  of  evidence  that  the  treatment  was  the  result  of  prejudice  or  a  conscious  intention  to 
discriminate,  and  evidence  that  a  lender  applied  an  otherwise  neutral  non-discriminatory  policy  uniformly  to  all  applicants,  but  the 
practice had a discriminatory effect, unless the practice could be justified as a business necessity.  

Banks  and  other  depository  institutions  also  are  subject  to  numerous  consumer-oriented  laws  and  regulations.  These  laws, 
which include the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Electronic Funds 
Transfer Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and the Fair Housing Act, require compliance by depository institutions with various 
disclosure requirements and requirements regulating the availability of funds after deposit or the making of some loans to customers.  

Consumer Financial Protection  

The  Dodd-Frank  Act  established  a  new  federal  regulatory  body  named  the  Bureau  of  Consumer  Financial  Protection 
(“BCFP”), an independent entity within the Federal Reserve system that will assume responsibility for most consumer protection laws. 
This body issues rules for federal protection laws for banks and non-banks engaged in financial services. The head of this organization 
is an independent director appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate with a dedicated budget paid 
by the Federal Reserve system. The BCFP will have the authority to supervise, examine, and take enforcement action with respect to 
institutions greater than $10 billion in assets, nonbank mortgage entities, and other nonbank providers of consumer financial services. 
Financial  institutions  with  less  than  $10  billion  in  assets,  like  the  Company,  still  have  prudential  regulatory  agencies  (i.e.  Federal 
Reserve  and  SCC)  as  their  lead  supervisory  bodies,  however,  the  BCFP  has  the  authority  to  include  its  examiners  in  examinations 
conducted by prudential regulatory agencies. The BCFP will create a national consumer complaint hotline so consumers will have, for 
the first time, a single toll-free number to report problems with financial products and services. It is in the Company’s best interest to 
have consumer protections that meet the needs of customers while ensuring that any new regulatory proposals and rules are subjected 
to cost-benefit analysis and to ensure that other financial services not under the purview of the BCFP (i.e., securities and insurance) 
are afforded the same protection standards so as not to shift consumers to financial services not subject to the BCFP’s supervision and 
rules. The impact to the Company as a result of the creation of the BCFP is unknown at this time.

Governmental Policies  

The  Federal  Reserve  regulates  money,  credit  and  interest  rates  in  order  to  influence  general  economic  conditions.  These 
policies  influence  overall  growth  and  distribution  of  bank  loans,  investments  and  deposits.  These  policies  also  affect  interest  rates 
charged  on  loans  or  paid  for  time  and  savings  deposits.  Federal  Reserve  monetary  policies  have  had  a  significant  effect  on  the 
operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future.  

Future Regulatory Uncertainty  

Because  federal  and  state  regulation  of  financial  institutions  changes  regularly  and  is  the  subject  of  constant  legislative 
debate, the Company cannot forecast how federal and state regulation of financial institutions may change in the future and impact its 
operations. The Company fully expects that the financial institution industry will remain heavily regulated in the near future and that 
additional laws or regulations may be adopted further regulating specific banking practices. 

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS 

Our  operations  are  subject  to  many  risks  that  could  adversely  affect  our  future  financial  condition  and  performance  and, 

therefore, the market value of our common stock. The risk factors applicable to us are the following: 

Our future success is dependent on our ability to compete effectively in the highly competitive banking and financial services 
industry. 

We  face  vigorous  competition  from  other  commercial  banks,  savings  banks,  credit  unions,  mortgage  banking  firms, 
consumer  finance  companies,  securities  brokerage  firms,  insurance  companies,  money  market  funds  and  other  types  of  financial 
institutions for deposits, loans and other financial services in our market area. A number of these banks and other financial institutions 
are significantly larger than we are and have substantially greater access to capital and other resources, as well as larger lending limits 
and  branch  systems,  and  offer  a  wider  array  of  banking  services.  Many  of  our  nonbank  competitors  are  not  subject  to  the  same 
extensive regulations that govern us. As a result, these nonbank competitors have advantages over us in providing certain services. 
This  competition  may  reduce  or  limit  our  margins  and  our  market  share  and  may  adversely  affect  our  results  of  operations  and 
financial condition. 

Difficult market conditions continue to adversely affect our industry. 

Dramatic declines in the housing market in recent years, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures, unemployment 
and under-employment, have negatively impacted the credit performance of real-estate related loans and resulted in significant write-
downs of asset values by financial institutions. These write-downs spread to other securities and loans and have caused many financial 
institutions  to  seek  additional  capital,  to  reduce  or  eliminate  dividends,  to  merge  with  larger  and  stronger  institutions  and,  in  some 
cases, to fail. In this environment, many lenders and institutional investors have reduced or ceased providing funding to borrowers, 
including to other financial institutions. This market turmoil and tightening of credit have led to an increased level of commercial and 
consumer  delinquencies,  lack  of  consumer  confidence,  increased  market  volatility  and  widespread  reduction  of  business  activity 
generally. The economic pressure on consumers and lack of confidence in the financial markets has adversely affected our business 
and results of operations. Market developments may affect consumer confidence levels and may cause adverse changes in payment 
patterns,  causing  increases  in  delinquencies  and  default  rates,  which  may  impact  our  charge-offs  and  provision  for  credit  losses.  A 
worsening of these conditions would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions on us and others in the 
financial institutions industry. 

We may be adversely affected by economic conditions in our market area. 

The  general  economic  conditions  in  the  markets  in  which  we  operate  are  a  key  component  to  our  success.  We  are 
headquartered in central Virginia, and our market area includes regions in Virginia, Georgia and Maryland. Because our lending and 
deposit-gathering  activities  are  concentrated  in  this  market,  we  will  be  affected  by  the  general  economic  conditions  in  these  areas. 
Changes in the economy may influence the growth rate of our loans and deposits, the quality of the loan portfolio and loan and deposit 
pricing.  A  significant decline  in general  economic  conditions  caused by  inflation, recession, unemployment  or other  factors, would 
impact these local economic conditions and the demand for banking products and services generally, and could negatively affect our 
financial condition and performance. 

13 

 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
If our allowance for loan losses becomes inadequate, our results of operations may be adversely affected. 

An  essential  element  of  our  business  is  to  make  loans.  We  maintain  an  allowance  for  loan  losses  that  we  believe  is  a 
reasonable estimate of known and inherent losses in our loan portfolio. Through a periodic review and analysis of the loan portfolio, 
management determines the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses by considering such factors as general and industry-specific 
market  conditions,  credit  quality  of  the  loan  portfolio,  the  collateral  supporting  the  loans  and  financial  performance  of  our  loan 
customers relative to their financial obligations to us. The amount of future losses is impacted by changes in economic, operating and 
other  conditions,  including  changes  in  interest  rates,  which  may  be  beyond  our  control.  Actual  losses  may  exceed  our  current 
estimates.  Rapidly  growing  loan  portfolios  are,  by  their  nature,  unseasoned.  Estimating  loan  loss  allowances  for  an  unseasoned 
portfolio is more difficult than with seasoned portfolios, and may be more susceptible to changes in estimates and to losses exceeding 
estimates.  Although  we  believe  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  a  reasonable  estimate  of  known  and  inherent  losses  in  our  loan 
portfolio, we cannot fully predict such losses or assert that our loan loss allowance will be adequate in the future. Future loan losses 
that are greater than current estimates could have a material impact on our future financial performance. 

Banking regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our allowance for loan 
losses or recognize additional loan charge-offs, based on credit judgments different than those of our management. Any increase in the 
amount of our allowance or loans charged-off as required by these regulatory agencies could have a negative effect on our operating 
results. 

Our  concentration  in  loans  secured  by  real  estate  may  increase  our  future  credit  losses,  which  would  negatively  affect  our 
financial results. 

We offer a variety of secured loans, including commercial lines of credit, commercial term loans, real estate, construction, 
home equity, consumer and other loans.  Credit risk and credit losses can increase if our loans are concentrated to borrowers who, as a 
group,  may  be  uniquely  or  disproportionately  affected  by  economic  or  market  conditions.    Approximately  85%  of  our  loans  are 
secured by real estate, both residential and commercial, substantially all of which are located in our market area. A major change in 
the region’s real estate market, resulting in a deterioration in real estate values, or in the local or national economy, including changes 
caused by raising interest rates, could adversely affect our customers’ ability to pay these loans, which in turn could adversely impact 
us. Risk of loan defaults and foreclosures are inherent in the banking industry, and we try to limit our exposure to this risk by carefully 
underwriting and monitoring our extensions of credit. We cannot fully eliminate credit risk, and as a result credit losses may occur in 
the future. 

Nonperforming assets take significant time to resolve and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. 

Our nonperforming assets adversely affect our net income in various ways. Until economic and market conditions improve, 
we expect to continue to incur additional losses relating to an increase in nonperforming loans. We do not record interest income on 
non-accrual  loans,  thereby  adversely  affecting  our  income  and  increasing  loan  administration  costs.  When  we  receive  collateral 
through foreclosures and similar proceedings, we are required to mark the related loan to the then fair market value of the collateral 
less estimated selling costs, which may result in a loss. An increase in the level of nonperforming assets also increases our risk profile 
and may impact the capital levels our regulators believe is appropriate in light of such risks. We utilize various techniques such as loan 
sales,  workouts  and  restructurings  to  manage  our  problem  assets.  Decreases  in  the  value  of  these  problem  assets,  the  underlying 
collateral,  or  in  the  borrowers’  performance  or  financial  condition,  could  adversely  affect  our  business,  results  of  operations  and 
financial condition. 

In  addition,  the  resolution  of  nonperforming  assets  requires  significant  commitments  of  time  from  management  and  staff, 
which can be detrimental to performance of their other responsibilities. Such resolution may also require the assistance of third parties, 
and thus the expense associated with it. There can be no assurance that we will avoid further increases in nonperforming loans in the 
future. 

We may incur losses if we are unable to successfully manage interest rate risk. 

Our future profitability will substantially depend upon our ability to maintain or increase the spread between the interest rates 
earned on investments and loans and interest rates paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in interest rates will 
affect our operating performance and financial condition. The shape of the yield curve can also impact net interest income. Changing 
rates will impact how fast our mortgage loans and mortgage backed securities will have the principal repaid. Rate changes can also 
impact the behavior of our depositors, especially depositors in non-maturity deposits such as demand, interest checking, savings and 
money  market  accounts.  While  we  attempt  to  minimize  our  exposure  to  interest  rate  risk,  we  are  unable  to  eliminate  it  as  it  is  an 
inherent  part  of  our  business.  Our  net  interest  spread  will  depend  on  many  factors  that  are  partly  or  entirely  outside  our  control, 
including  competition,  federal  economic,  monetary  and  fiscal  policies,  and  industry-specific  conditions  and  economic  conditions 
generally. 

14 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We  have  a  written  agreement  with  our  banking  regulators,  which  has  required  us  to  designate  a  significant  amount  of 
resources to comply with the agreement.  

We  have  worked  closely  with  our  regulators  as  we  have  attempted  to  address  the  issues  involved  in  integrating  the  four 
predecessor banks and their different cultures and concerns with asset quality and the uncertainty of the real estate markets and general 
economy  in  our  markets.  As  part  of  these  discussions,  and  as  a  result  of  the  regulators’  examinations,  we  entered  into  a  written 
agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and Virginia’s Bureau of Financial Institutions in April 2011. The contents of 
this action include provisions that address, among other matters, our development of credit risk management practices appropriate for 
our size, complexity and risk profile and the enhancement of our overall system for managing credit risk. The written agreement has 
required us to take certain actions, including the adoption of written plans and programs to address these issues that must be approved 
by regulators and implemented promptly upon receipt of such approval. The written agreement also addresses formally the ability of 
management and our Board of Directors to properly oversee the remediation of identified issues.  

Our management and Board have devoted considerable time and attention on taking corrective actions to comply  with the 
terms of the anticipated written agreement.   While we believe that we have appropriately addressed every provision of the written 
agreement, management and the Board continue to devote time and attention to ensure that the corrective actions have been and are 
being successfully and permanently implemented.  There is no guarantee that we will ultimately address the regulators’ concerns in 
the written agreement or that we will be able to comply with all of its provisions. If we do not comply with the written agreement, we 
could be subject to the assessment of civil monetary penalties, further regulatory sanctions and/or regulatory enforcement actions.  

We have not paid dividends on shares of our common stock or preferred stock on a regular basis and have previously deferred 
certain interest payments with respect to our trust preferred securities, and we may not be able to pay future dividends.  

In 2010, we suspended the payment of dividends with respect to shares of our common stock, and we began to defer dividend 
payments  with  respect  to  the  preferred  stock  that  we  issued  to  the  United  States  Department  of  Treasury  in  connection  with  our 
participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program and interest payments with respect to our trust preferred securities.  On March 
15, 2012, the Company received the required regulatory approval for the February 2012 payment of its regular quarterly cash dividend 
with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock and the payment of all outstanding interest payments that the Company has deferred under 
its trust preferred securities since September 30, 2010.  The Company made both payments, and paid all outstanding interest on all 
Series  A  Preferred  Stock  dividend  payments  that  the  Company  had  previously  deferred,  on  March  16,  2012.    Six  regular  quarterly 
cash dividend with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock remain accrued and unpaid. 

The written agreement described above requires written regulatory approval before we are able to pay any dividends or any 
interest on our trust preferred securities. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is limited by general regulatory restrictions and the 
need  to  maintain  sufficient  capital  in  our  organization.  The  ability  of  our  bank  subsidiary  to  pay  dividends  to  us  is  limited  by  the 
Bank’s obligations to maintain sufficient capital, earnings and liquidity and by other general restrictions on dividends under federal 
and state bank regulatory requirements.  

Dividend  payments  on  our  preferred  stock  and  interest  payments  on  our  trust  preferred  securities  are  cumulative  and, 
therefore,  unpaid  payments  will  accumulate  and  compound  on  each  subsequent  dividend  payment  date.  If  the  dividends  on  the 
preferred  stock  have  not  been  paid  for  an  aggregate  of  six  quarterly  dividend  periods  or  more,  whether  or  not  consecutive,  our 
authorized number of directors will be automatically increased by two and the holders of the preferred stock will have the right to elect 
those directors at our next annual meeting or at a special meeting called for that purpose. These two directors will be elected annually 
and will serve until all unpaid dividends for all past dividend periods have been declared and paid in full. Furthermore, we cannot pay 
dividends on our outstanding shares of preferred stock or our common stock until we have paid in full all deferred interest payments 
on our trust preferred securities. 

Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will be able to pay cash dividends in the future. Even if we are allowed to do so, 
the future payment of cash dividends on our common stock, if any, will be subject to the prior payment of all unpaid dividends and 
deferred interest on our preferred stock and trust preferred securities.  

We are subject to extensive government regulation and supervision. 

We  are  subject  to  extensive  federal  and  state  regulation  and  supervision.  Banking  regulations  are  primarily  intended  to 
protect  depositors’  funds,  federal  deposit  insurance  funds  and  the  banking  system  as  a  whole,  and  not  security  holders.  These 
regulations  affect  our  lending  practices,  capital  structure,  investment  practices,  dividend  policy  and  growth,  among  other  things. 
Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. 

The  Dodd-Frank  Act,  enacted  in  July  2010,  instituted  major  changes  to  the  banking  and  financial  institutions  regulatory 
regimes in light of the recent performance of and government intervention in the financial services sector. The Act includes, among 
other  things,  changes  to  the  deposit  insurance  and  financial  regulatory  systems,  enhanced  bank  capital  requirements  and  new 

15 

 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
requirements designed to protect consumers in financial transactions. Many of these provisions are subject to rule making procedures 
and  studies  that  will  be  conducted  in  the  future,  and  thus  the  full  effects  of  the  legislation  on  us  cannot  yet  be  determined.  Other 
changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or 
policies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. 

These provisions, or any other aspects of current proposed regulatory or legislative changes to laws applicable to the financial 
industry,  if  enacted  or  adopted,  may  impact  the  profitability  of  our  business  activities  or  change  certain  of  our  business  practices, 
including our ability to offer new products, obtain financing, attract deposits, make loans, and achieve satisfactory interest spreads, 
and could expose us to additional costs, including increased compliance costs. These changes also may require us to invest significant 
management attention and resources to make any necessary changes to our operations in order to comply, and could therefore also 
materially  adversely  affect  our  business,  financial  condition,  and  results  of  operations.    Furthermore,  failure  to  comply  with  laws, 
regulations or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputation damage, which could 
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

We may need to raise capital that may not ultimately be available to us.  

Regulatory  authorities  require  us  to  maintain  certain  levels  of  capital  to  support  our  operations.  While  we  remained  “well 
capitalized” at December 31, 2011, additional losses that we may incur in the future may require us to raise capital. The ability to raise 
capital,  if  needed,  will  depend  in  part  on  conditions  in  the  capital  markets  at  that  time,  which  are  outside  our  control,  and  on  our 
financial performance.  

Accordingly, we may not be able to raise capital, if and when needed, on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we cannot raise 
capital when needed, our ability to increase our capital ratios could be materially impaired, and we could face regulatory challenges. 
In addition, if we issue equity capital, it may be at a lower price and in all cases our existing stockholders’ interests would be diluted.  

The realization of the benefits of the FDIC shared-loss agreements depends on our compliance with the agreements.  

Under  the  shared-loss  agreements  into  which  we  entered  in  January  2009,  the  FDIC  will  reimburse  us  for  80%  of  losses 
arising from covered loans and foreclosed real estate assets on the first $118 million in losses of such covered loans and foreclosed 
real  estate  assets  and  for  95%  of  losses  on  covered  loans  and  foreclosed  real  estate  assets  thereafter.  The  shared-loss  agreements 
include a number of obligations for us, including, for example, the submission of detailed certificates, on a monthly basis for losses on 
single family one-to-four residential mortgage loans and on a quarterly basis for losses on other covered assets, for the FDIC’s review.  

Because the shared-loss agreements subject us to a number of contractual requirements, we must implement effective internal 
processes over covered assets (including consistency in the treatment of covered and non-covered assets) to maintain the guaranty that 
the FDIC has agreed to provide, which underpins the FDIC indemnification asset, which totaled $42.7 million at December 31, 2011. 
Any failure to comply with the contractual requirements of the shared-loss agreements may lead to the revocation of the agreements, 
which would necessitate the write-off of the related indemnification asset and the receivable that we carry on our balance sheet for 
amounts that we have billed the FDIC.  

We may identify material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. 

Our  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial  reporting.  Our 
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial 
officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements 
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  

Despite efforts to strengthen our internal and disclosure controls, we may identify internal or disclosure control deficiencies 
in  the  future.  Any  failure  to  maintain  effective  controls  or  timely  effect  any  necessary  improvement  of  our  internal  and  disclosure 
controls could, among other things, result in losses from fraud or error, harm our reputation or cause investors to lose confidence in 
our  reported  financial  information,  all  of  which  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  results  of  operation  and  financial 
condition. 

We can give no assurances that our deferred tax asset will not become impaired in the future because it is based on projections 
of future earnings, which are subject to uncertainty and estimates that may change based on economic conditions.  

We  can give  no  assurances  that  our deferred  tax  asset will  not become  impaired  in  the  future. At  December 31, 2011, we 
recorded net deferred income tax assets of $7.2 million. We assess the realization of deferred income tax assets and record a valuation 
allowance if it is “more likely than not” that we will not realize all or a portion of the deferred tax asset. We consider all available 
evidence,  both  positive  and  negative,  to  determine  whether,  based  on  the  weight  of  that  evidence,  we  need  a  valuation  allowance. 
Management’s  assessment  is  primarily  dependent  on  historical  taxable  income  and  projections  of  future  taxable  income,  which  are 

16 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
directly related to our core earnings capacity and our prospects to generate core earnings in the future. Projections of core earnings and 
taxable income are inherently subject to uncertainty and estimates that may change given an uncertain economic outlook and current 
banking  industry  conditions.  Due  to  the  uncertainty  of  estimates  and  projections,  it  is  possible  that  we  will  be  required  to  record 
adjustments to the valuation allowance in future reporting periods.  

A substantial decline in the value of our securities portfolio may result in an “other-than-temporary” impairment charge.  

The total amount of our available-for-sale securities portfolio was $232.8 million at December 31, 2011. The measurement of 
the fair value of these securities involves significant judgment due to the complexity of the factors contributing to the measurement. 
Market volatility makes measurement of the fair value of our securities portfolio even more difficult and subjective. More generally, 
as market conditions continue to be volatile, we cannot provide assurance with respect to the amount of future unrealized losses in the 
portfolio. To the extent that any portion of the unrealized losses in these portfolios is determined to be other than temporary, and the 
loss is related to credit factors, we would recognize a charge to our earnings in the quarter during which such determination is made, 
and our capital ratios could be adversely affected.  

The  failure  of  our  Board  and  management  to  implement  and  maintain  effective  risk  management  programs  may  adversely 
affect our operations. 

As a banking organization, we are exposed to a variety of risks across our operations. We define risk generally as the danger 
of not achieving our financial, operating, or strategic goals as planned. As a result, to ensure our long-term corporate success, we must 
effectively identify and analyze risks and then manage or mitigate them through appropriate control measures. We have developed a 
plan  to  establish  and  maintain  effective  risk  management  programs  to  address  oversight,  control,  and  supervision  of  management, 
major operations and activities across our functional areas. We believe that this plan enables us to recognize and analyze risks early on 
and to take the appropriate action. 

It is important to note that our organization has grown substantially over the past two years. In May 2008, we merged with 
each of BOE, the then holding company for the Bank, and TFC, the holding company for TransCommunity Bank, N.A., and, in July 
2008,  TransCommunity  Bank  merged  into  the  Bank.  In  November  2008,  the  Bank  acquired  certain  assets  and  assumed  all  deposit 
liabilities of TCB and, in January 2009, the Bank acquired certain assets and assumed all deposit liabilities of SFSB. This significant 
growth  has  put  considerable  strain  on  our  organizational  structure  and  the  effectiveness  of  risk  management  programs  that  are 
appropriate for the various functions of an organization of our size and complexity. Furthermore, this growth has strained our control 
structure,  including  the  structure  that  supports  the  effective  application  of  policies  and  the  execution  of  procedures  within  the 
operation of financial reporting controls. 

We have put in place internal remediation plans that address concerns that have arisen in maintaining the effectiveness of our 
risk management programs. While our Board and management are working diligently to ensure that our organization implements and 
maintains effective risk management programs, any failure to do so may adversely affect our operations. As a result, we may not be 
able to achieve our financial, operational and strategic goals. 

Current levels of market volatility are unprecedented. 

The  capital  and  credit  markets  have  been  experiencing  volatility  and  disruption  for  more  than  24 months.  Recently,  the 
volatility  and  disruption  has  reached  unprecedented  levels.  In  some  cases,  the  markets  have  produced  downward  pressure  on  stock 
prices  and  credit  availability  for  certain  issuers  without  regard  to  those  issuers’  underlying  financial  strength.  If  current  levels  of 
market disruption and volatility continue or worsen, there can be no assurance that we will not experience an adverse effect, which 
may be material, on our ability to access capital and on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

The soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect us. 

Our ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of 
other  financial  institutions.  Financial  services  institutions  are  interrelated  as  a  result  of  trading,  clearing,  counterparty  or  other 
relationships.  We  have  exposure  to  many  different  industries  and  counterparties,  and  we  routinely  execute  transactions  with 
counterparties  in  the  financial  industry.  As  a  result,  defaults  by,  or  even  rumors  or  questions  about,  one  or  more  financial  services 
institutions,  or  the  financial  services  industry  generally,  have  led  to  market-wide  liquidity  problems  and  could  lead  to  losses  or 
defaults by us or by other institutions. Many of these transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of default of our counterparty or 
client. In addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by us cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices 
not sufficient to recover the full amount of the financial instrument exposure due us. There is no assurance that any such losses would 
not materially and adversely affect our results of operations. 

17 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We may be adversely impacted by changes in the condition of financial markets. 

We are directly and indirectly affected by changes in market conditions. Market risk generally represents the risk that values 
of assets and liabilities or revenues will be adversely affected by changes in market conditions. Market risk is inherent in the financial 
instruments associated with our operations and activities including loans, deposits, securities, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, 
trading account assets and liabilities, and derivatives. Just a few of the market conditions that may shift from time to time, thereby 
exposing  us  to  market  risk,  include  fluctuations  in  interest  and  currency  exchange  rates,  equity  and  futures  prices,  and  price 
deterioration or changes in value due to changes in market perception or actual credit quality of issuers. Accordingly, depending on 
the  instruments  or  activities  impacted,  market  risks  can  have  adverse  effects  on  our  results  of  operations  and  our  overall  financial 
condition. 

Banking regulators have broad enforcement power, but regulations are meant to protect depositors, and not investors. 

We are subject to supervision by several governmental regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond 
and  Virginia’s  Bureau  of  Financial  Institutions.  Bank  regulations,  and  the  interpretation  and  application  of  them  by  regulators,  are 
beyond our control, may change rapidly and unpredictably and can be expected to influence earnings and growth. In addition, these 
regulations may limit our growth and the return to investors by restricting activities such as the payment of dividends, mergers with, or 
acquisitions by, other institutions, investments, loans and interest rates, interest rates paid on deposits and the opening of new branch 
offices. Although these regulations impose costs on us, they are intended to protect depositors, and should not be assumed to protect 
the interest of shareholders. The regulations to which we are subject may not always be in the best interest of investors. 

A loss of our senior officers could impair our relationship with our customers and adversely affect our business. 

Many community banks attract customers based on the personal relationships that the banks’ officers and customers establish 
with  each  other  and  the  confidence  that  the  customers  have  in  the  officers.  We  depend  on  the  performance  of  our  senior  officers. 
These officers have many years of experience in the banking industry and have numerous contacts in our market area. The loss of the 
services of any of our senior officers, or the failure of any of them to perform management functions in the manner anticipated by our 
board of directors, could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our success will be dependent upon the board’s ability to 
attract and retain quality personnel, including these individuals. 

Our operations may be adversely affected by cyber security risks. 

In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  we  collect  and  store  sensitive  data,  including  proprietary  business  information  and 
personally identifiable information of our customers and employees in systems and on networks. The secure processing, maintenance 
and  use  of  this  information  is  critical  to  operations  and  our  business  strategy.  We  have  invested  in  accepted  technologies,  and  we 
continually  review  processes  and  practices  that  are  designed  to  protect  our  networks,  computers  and  data  from  damage  or 
unauthorized  access.  Despite  these  security  measures,  our  computer  systems  and  infrastructure  may  be  vulnerable  to  attacks  by 
hackers  or  breached  due  to  employee  error,  malfeasance,  technology  failure  or  other  disruptions.  A  breach  of  any  kind  could 
compromise systems, and the information stored there could be accessed, damaged or disclosed. A breach in security could result in 
legal claims, regulatory penalties, disruption in operations, and damage to our reputation, which could adversely affect our business.  

Increases in FDIC insurance premiums may cause our earnings to decrease.  

Since the financial crisis began several years ago, an increasing number of bank failures have imposed significant costs on 
the  FDIC  in  resolving  those  failures,  and  the  regulator's  deposit  insurance  fund  has  been  depleted.  In  order  to  maintain  a  strong 
funding  position  and  restore  reserve  ratios  of  the  deposit  insurance  fund,  the  FDIC  has  increased,  and  may  increase  in  the  future, 
assessment rates of insured institutions, including the Bank. 

Deposits are insured by the FDIC, subject to limits and conditions or applicable law and the FDIC's regulations. Pursuant to 
the Dodd-Frank Act, FDIC insurance coverage limits were permanently increased to $250,000 per customer. The Dodd-Frank Act also 
provides for unlimited FDIC insurance coverage for noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts for a two-year period beginning on 
December 31, 2010 and ending on December 31, 2012. The FDIC administers the deposit insurance fund, and all insured depository 
institutions  are  required  to  pay  assessments  to  the  FDIC  that  fund  the  deposit  insurance  fund.  The  Dodd-Frank  Act  changed  the 
methodology for calculating deposit insurance assessments by changing the assessment base from the amount of an insured depository 
institution's  domestic  deposits  to  its  total  assets  minus  tangible  equity.  On  February 7,  2011,  the  FDIC  issued  a  new  regulation 
implementing revisions to the assessment system mandated by the Financial Reform Act. The new regulation was effective April 1, 
2011 and was reflected in the June 30, 2011 FDIC fund balance and the invoices for assessments due September 30, 2011. As a result 
of  the  new  regulations,  we  expect  to  incur  higher  annual  deposit  insurance  assessments  than  we  historically  incurred  before  the 
financial crisis began several years ago. While the burden of replenishing the DIF will be placed primarily on institutions with assets 
of  greater  than  $10 billion,  any  future  increases  in  required  deposit  insurance  premiums  or  other  bank  industry  fees  could  have  a 
significant adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.  

18 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We  are  subject  to  executive  compensation  restrictions  because  of  our  participation  in  the  Treasury’s  Capital  Purchase 
Program. 

As a participant in the Capital Purchase Program, we are subject to the Department of the Treasury’s standards for executive 
compensation and governance for the period during which the Department of the Treasury holds the preferred stock that we issued 
under  this  program.  These  standards  generally  apply  to  the  chief  executive  officer,  chief  financial  officer,  plus  the  next  three  most 
highly compensated executive officers and can also apply to a number of our other employees. 

The standards include requirements to recover certain bonus payments if they were based on materially inaccurate financial 
statements  or  performance  metric  criteria, prohibitions  on  making  certain  golden  parachute  payments, prohibitions  on  paying  or 
accruing certain bonus payments, except as otherwise permitted by the rules, prohibitions on maintaining any plan for senior executive 
officers that encourages such officers to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten our value, prohibitions on maintaining any 
employee compensation plan that encourages the manipulation of reported earnings to enhance the compensation of any employee and 
prohibitions on providing certain tax gross-ups. These restrictions and standards could limit our ability to recruit and retain executive 
officers. 

In  addition,  while  we  believe  that  we  have  taken  and  continue  to  take  the  steps  necessary  to  comply  with  the  standards 
described above, we cannot make any assurance that the Department of the Treasury or our other regulators will agree that we have in 
every  instance. As  a  result,  we  cannot  make  any  assurances  as  to  any  penalties  that  the  regulatory agencies  may  assess  if  we  are 
deemed to have violated any of the standards above. Such penalties may include civil and criminal penalties and restitution of certain 
payments that we have made. 

Our businesses and earnings are impacted by governmental, fiscal and monetary policy. 

We are affected by domestic monetary policy. For example, the Federal Reserve Board regulates the supply of money and 
credit in the United States and its policies determine in large part our cost of funds for lending, investing and capital raising activities 
and the return we earn on those loans and investments, both of which affect our net interest margin. The actions of the Federal Reserve 
Board also can materially affect the value of financial instruments we hold, such as loans and debt securities, and its policies also can 
affect  our  borrowers,  potentially  increasing  the  risk  that  they  may  fail  to  repay  their  loans.  Our  businesses  and  earnings  also  are 
affected  by  the  fiscal  or  other  policies  that  are  adopted  by  various  regulatory  authorities  of  the  United  States.  Changes  in  fiscal  or 
monetary policy are beyond our control and hard to predict. 

Our profitability and the value of any equity investment in us may suffer because of rapid and unpredictable changes in the 
highly regulated environment in which we operate. 

We are subject to extensive supervision by several governmental regulatory agencies at the federal and state levels. Recently 
enacted,  proposed  and  future  banking  and  other  legislation  and  regulations  have  had,  and  will  continue  to  have,  or  may  have  a 
significant impact on the financial services industry. These regulations, which are generally intended to protect depositors and not our 
shareholders,  and  the  interpretation  and  application  of  them  by  federal  and  state  regulators,  are  beyond  our  control,  may  change 
rapidly and unpredictably, and can be expected to influence our earnings and growth. Our success depends on our continued ability to 
maintain compliance with these regulations. Many of these regulations increase our costs and thus place other financial institutions 
that may not be subject to similar regulation in stronger, more favorable competitive positions. 

The trading volume in our common stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies. 

Although our common stock is listed for trading on NYSE Amex, the trading volume in our common stock is less than that of 
other larger financial services companies. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness 
depends  on  the  presence  in  the  marketplace  of  willing  buyers  and  sellers  of  our  common  stock  at  any  given  time.  This  presence 
depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control. Given 
the lower trading volume of our common stock, significant sales of our common stock, or the expectation of these sales, could cause 
our stock price to fall.

Holders of Record  

As of December 31, 2011, there were 2,129 holders of record of the Company’s common stock, four holders of record of its 

warrants and one holder of record of its units, not including beneficial holders of securities held in street name.  

Dividends  

The  Company’s  dividend  policy  is  subject  to  the  discretion  of  the  board  of  directors  and  future  dividend  payments  will 
depend  upon  a  number  of  factors,  including  future  earnings,  alternative  investment  opportunities,  financial  condition,  cash 
requirements, and general business conditions. Under a capital plan that the Company adopted in October 2009, the Company’s policy 
is to pay quarterly cash dividends. However, the Company has determined to limit any cash dividend payment to no more than 50% of 
its prior year’s earnings, excluding any goodwill impairment. The Company retains the discretion to modify this determination if its 
capital  ratios  and  related  models  indicate  that  such  modification  is  prudent  and  consistent  with  the  maintenance  of  targeted  capital 
levels and the improvement of return on equity on a quarterly basis. In addition, if the Company’s capital levels fall or are forecasted 
to fall below “well capitalized” levels, the Company will consider the suspension of the dividend payment.  

The  Company’s  ability  to  distribute  cash  dividends  will  depend  primarily  on  the  ability  of  its  banking  subsidiary  to  pay 
dividends to it. The Bank is subject to legal limitations on the amount of dividends that it is permitted to pay. Furthermore, neither the 
Company  nor  the  Bank  may  declare  or  pay  a  cash  dividend  on  any  of  its  capital  stock  if  it  is  insolvent  or  if  the  payment  of  the 
dividend would render the entity insolvent or unable to pay its obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business. For 
additional  information  on  these  limitations,  see  “Regulation  and  Supervision  —  Capital  Requirements  and  Dividends”  in  Item 1 
above. 

The  Company  commenced  declaring  dividends  on  its  common  stock  in  2008  following  the  mergers  with  BOE  and  TFC. 
From the second quarter of 2008 through the first quarter of 2010, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share to 
the holders of its common stock.  

Following  the  payment  of  its  cash  dividend  in  February  2010,  the  Company  determined  to  suspend  the  payment  of  its 
quarterly  dividend  to  holders  of  common  stock.  While  the  Company  believes  that  its  capital  and  liquidity  levels  remain  above  the 
averages of its peers, the Company incurred a net loss to common stockholders for the 2009 year and remains concerned over asset 
quality  and  the  uncertainty  of  the real  estate  markets  and  general  economy  in  the  central  Virginia region.  Due  to  these  factors, the 
Company has determined that it is currently prudent to retain capital until such time as the Company experiences a return to consistent 
quarterly profitability.

In  addition,  on  December 19,  2008,  the  Company  received  $17.680 million  of  capital funding  from  the  Department  of  the 
Treasury, and the capital is considered senior preferred stock. Under the terms of the preferred stock, the Company is required to pay 
on  a quarterly basis  a  dividend rate  of  5% per  year for  the  first  five  years,  after  which  the  dividend  rate  automatically  increases  to 
9% per year. The Company made dividend payments for this capital on a quarterly basis from February 2009 through May 2010.  

The Company may defer dividend payments, but the dividend is a cumulative dividend that accumulates for payment in the 
future, and the failure to pay dividends for six dividend periods would trigger board appointment rights for the holder of the preferred 
stock.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company has deferred six payments of its regular quarterly cash dividend with respect to its 
Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, which the Company issued to the United States Department of Treasury 
in connection with the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program in December 2008. On February 
15,  2012,  the  Company  deferred  a  seventh  payment  of  its  regularly  quarterly  cash  dividend  with  respect  to  the  Series  A  Preferred 
Stock.  On March 16, 2012, the Company paid both this quarterly cash dividend and all outstanding interest on both that payment and 
the six dividend payments that the Company had previously deferred.  Accordingly, following the payments on March 16, 2012, the 
Company  had  six  quarterly  dividend  payments  with  respect  to  the  Preferred  Stock  that  remained  accrued  and  unpaid.    In  addition, 
while shares of the senior preferred stock are outstanding, the Company could be subject to limitations on dividends on its common 
stock.  Common  stock  dividends  cannot  be  increased  until  the  third  anniversary  of  the  Department  of  the  Treasury’s  investment 
without  its  consent  unless, prior  to  the  third  anniversary, the  senior  preferred  stock  is redeemed  in whole or  the Department  of  the 
Treasury has transferred all of its senior preferred stock to third parties.  

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer  

The  Company  does not  currently  have  in place  a  repurchase program  with  respect  to any  of  its  securities.  In  addition,  the 

Company did not repurchase any of its securities during the year ended December 31, 2011.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 

OPERATIONS  

GENERAL 

Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the “Company”) is a bank holding company that was incorporated under Delaware 
law  on  April 6,  2005.  The  Company  is  headquartered  in  Glen  Allen,  Virginia  and  is  the  holding  company  for  Essex  Bank  (the 
“Bank”), a Virginia state bank with 24 full-service offices in Virginia, Maryland and Georgia.   

The  Bank  engages  in  a  general  commercial  banking  business  and  provides  a  wide  range  of  financial  services,  including 
individual and commercial demand and time deposit accounts, commercial and industrial loans, consumer and small business loans, 
real estate and  mortgage loans, investment services, on-line and mobile banking products, and safe deposit box facilities.   Thirteen 
branches are located in Virginia, primarily from the Chesapeake Bay to just west of Richmond, seven are located in Maryland along 
the Baltimore-Washington corridor and four are located in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan market.    

The  Company  generates  a  significant  amount  of  its  income  from  the  net  interest  income  earned  by  the  Bank.  Net  interest 
income  is  the  difference  between  interest  income  and  interest  expense.  Interest  income  depends  on  the  amount  of  interest-earning 
assets outstanding during the period and the interest rates earned thereon. The Company’s cost of funds is a function of the average 
amount of interest-bearing deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid thereon. The quality 
of the assets further influences the amount of interest income lost on non-accrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance 
for  loan  losses.  Additionally,  the  Bank  earns  non-interest  income  from  service  charges  on  deposit  accounts  and  other  fee  or 
commission-based services and products. Other sources of non-interest income can include gains or losses on securities transactions, 
gains from loan sales, transactions involving bank-owned property, and income from Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) policies. 
The  Company’s  income  is  offset  by  non-interest  expense,  which  consists  of  goodwill  impairment  and  other  charges,  salaries  and 
benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, professional fees, and other operational expenses. The provision for loan losses and income 
taxes materially affect income.  

CAUTION ABOUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS 

The Company makes certain forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These 
forward-looking statements include statements regarding our profitability, liquidity, allowance for loan losses, interest rate sensitivity, 
market risk, growth strategy, and financial and other goals. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by phrases such 
as “the Company expects,” “the Company believes” or words of similar import.  

These  forward-looking  statements  are  subject  to  significant  uncertainties  because  they  are  based  upon  or  are  affected  by 

factors, including, without limitation, the effects of and changes in the following:  

• 

• 
• 

• 

• 
• 

• 
• 

• 

• 

• 
• 

• 

• 

the  quality  or  composition  of  the  Company’s  loan  or  investment  portfolios,  including  collateral  values  and  the 
repayment abilities of  borrowers and issuers; 

assumptions that underlie the Company’s allowance for loan losses; 

general economic and market conditions, either nationally or in the Company’s market areas; 

the ability of the Company to comply with regulatory actions, and the costs associated with doing so; 

the interest rate environment;  

competitive pressures among banks and financial institutions or from companies outside the banking industry; 

real estate values;  

the demand for deposit, loan, and investment products and other financial services; 

the demand, development and acceptance of new products and services; 

the Company’s compliance with and, the timing of future reimbursements from the FDIC to the Company, under the 
shared loss agreements; 

assumptions and estimates that underlie the accounting for loan pools under the shared loss agreements; 

consumer profiles and spending and savings habits;  

the securities and credit markets;  

costs associated with the integration of banking and other internal operations;  

26 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•  management’s  evaluation  of goodwill  and other  assets  on  a  periodic basis,  and  any  resulting  impairment  charges, 

under applicable accounting standards; 

• 

• 
• 
• 

the soundness of other financial institutions with which the Company does business; 

inflation;  

technology; and  
legislative and regulatory requirements.  

These factors and additional risks and uncertainties are described in the “Risk Factors” discussion in Part I, Item 1A, of this 

report.  

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.  

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United 
States  (“GAAP”). The  financial  information  contained within  the  statements  is,  to  a significant  extent,  financial  information  that  is 
based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the 
ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. For 
example,  the  Company  uses  historical  loss  factors  as  one  factor  in  determining  the  inherent  loss  that  may  be  present  in  its  loan 
portfolio.  Actual  losses  could  differ  significantly  from  the  historical  factors  that  the  Company  uses.  In  addition,  GAAP  itself  may 
change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of the Company’s transactions would be 
the same, the timing of events that would impact its transactions could change. 

The  following  is  a  summary  of  the  Company’s  critical  accounting  policies  that  are  highly  dependent  on  estimates, 

assumptions and judgments.  

Allowance for Loan Losses on Non-covered Loans  

The  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  established  as  losses  are  estimated  to  have  occurred  through  a  provision  for  loan  losses 
charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is 
confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.  

The  allowance  is  an  amount  that  management  believes  is  appropriate  to  absorb  estimated  losses  relating  to  specifically 
identified  loans,  as  well  as  probable  credit  losses  inherent  in  the  balance  of  the  loan  portfolio,  based  on  an  evaluation  of  the 
collectability  of  existing  loans  and  prior  loss  experience.  This  quarterly  evaluation  also  takes  into  consideration  such  factors  as 
changes  in  the  nature  and  volume  of  the  loan  portfolio,  overall  portfolio  quality,  review  of  specific  problem  loans,  and  current 
economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. This evaluation does not include the effects of expected losses on 
specific loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or expected changes in economic conditions. While management uses 
the  best  information  available  to  make  its  evaluation, future  adjustments  to  the  allowance  may  be  necessary  if  there  are  significant 
changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review 
the  Bank’s  allowance  for  loan  losses  and  may  require  the  Bank  to  make  additions  to  the  allowance  based  on  their  judgment  about 
information available to them at the time of their examinations. 

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

A  loan  is  considered  impaired  when,  based  on  current  information  and  events,  management  believes  that  it  is  more  likely 
than not that the Bank will  be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual 
terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, 
availability  of  current  financial  information,  and  the  probability  of  collecting  scheduled  principal  and  interest  payments  when  due. 
Loans  that  experience  insignificant  payment  delays  and  payment  shortfalls  generally  are  not  classified  as  impaired.  Management 
determines  the  significance  of  payment  delays  and  payment  shortfalls  on  a  case-by-case  basis,  taking  into  consideration  all  of  the 
circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior 
payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by 
27 

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s 
effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. 

In  the  third  quarter  of  2010,  the  Company  refined  the  factors  used  to  calculate  the  FASB  ASC  450,  Contingencies, 
component of the allowance for loan loss to include more quantifiable information supported by current economic data.   The analysis 
consists of these components:  a) linear regression analysis of historical loss data provided by the FDIC, b) historical losses for the 
Company  since  inception  on  May  31,  2008,  c)  risk  grade  migrations  and  delinquency  migrations  of  the  loan  portfolio,  and  d)  an 
unallocated component to capture management’s view of the overall impact of those factors discussed in the above paragraph.  This 
revision had an impact of a decrease to the amount of allowance for loan losses on non-covered loans of approximately $500,000.   

In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company further refined the historical losses factor used to calculate the FASB ASC 450, 
Contingencies, component of the allowance for loan losses.  Management has performed an assessment of all significant construction 
and land development loans remaining in the pool. The Company adjusted the historical losses factor to accommodate for changes in 
the  Company’s  underwriting  standards  related  to  the  construction  and  land  development  portfolio  as  well  as  unusual  events  that 
occurred,  such  as  fraud.    The  Company  has  adjusted  the  factor  for  significant  charge-offs  on  loans  made  prior  to  the  underwriting 
standard  changes,  as  they  do  not  reflect  the  risk  present  in  the  current  portfolio.  In  addition,  the  Company  adopted  an  additional 
environmental  factor  related  to  increased  credit  risk  in  the  home  equity  lines  of  credit  pool.    These  revisions  had  an  impact  of  a 
decrease to the amount of allowance for loan losses on non-covered loans of approximately $1.5 million.   

Allowance for Loan Losses on Covered Loans  

The assets acquired in the SFSB acquisition are covered by a shared-loss agreement with the FDIC. Under the shared-loss 
agreements, the FDIC will reimburse the Bank for 80% of losses arising from covered loans and foreclosed real estate assets, on the 
first  $118  million  in  losses  of  such  covered  loans  and  foreclosed  real  estate  assets,  and  for  95%  of  losses  on  covered  loans  and 
foreclosed  real  estate  assets  thereafter.  Under  the  shared-loss  agreements,  a  “loss”  on  a  covered  loan  or  foreclosed  real  estate  is 
defined  generally  as  a  realized  loss  incurred  through  a  permitted  disposition,  foreclosure,  short-sale  or  restructuring  of  the  covered 
loan or foreclosed real estate. The reimbursements for losses on single family one-to-four residential mortgage loans are to be made 
quarterly until the end of the quarter in which the tenth anniversary of the closing of the transaction occurs, and the reimbursements 
for losses on other covered assets are to be made quarterly until the end of the quarter in which the eighth anniversary of the closing of 
the transaction occurs. Prior to the third quarter of 2011, reimbursements for losses on single family one-to-four mortgage loans were 
made  monthly.  The  shared-loss  agreements  provide  for  indemnification  from  the  first  dollar  of  losses  without  any  threshold 
requirement. The reimbursable losses from the FDIC are based on the book value of the relevant loan as determined by the FDIC at 
the date of the transaction, January 30, 2009. New loans made after that date are not covered by the shared-loss agreements.  

The Company evaluated the acquired covered loans and has elected to account for them under FASB ASC 310-30.  

The covered loans acquired are subject to credit review standards described above for non-covered loans. If and when credit 
deterioration occurs subsequent to the acquisition date, a provision for credit loss for covered loans will be charged to earnings for the 
full amount without regard to the FDIC shared-loss agreements. The Company makes an estimate of the total cash flows it expects to 
collect from a pool of covered loans, which includes undiscounted expected principal and interest. Over the life of the loan or pool, the 
Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. Subsequent decreases in cash flows expected to be collected over 
the life of the pool are recognized as an impairment in the current period through allowance for loan loss. Subsequent increases in 
expected cash flows are first used to reverse any existing valuation allowance for that loan or pool. Any remaining increase in cash 
flows expected to be collected is recognized as an adjustment to the yield over the remaining life of the pool.  

FDIC Indemnification Asset  

The  Company  is  accounting  for  the  shared-loss  agreements  as  an  indemnification  asset  pursuant  to  the  guidance  in  FASB 
ASC 805. The FDIC indemnification asset is required to be measured in the same manner as the asset or liability to which it relates. 
The FDIC indemnification asset is  measured separately from the covered loans and other real estate owned assets because it is not 
contractually embedded in the covered loan and other real estate owned assets and is not transferable should the Company choose to 
dispose  of  them.  Fair  value  was  estimated  using  projected  cash  flows  available  for  loss  sharing  based  on  the  credit  adjustments 
estimated for each loan pool and other real estate owned and the loss sharing percentages outlined in the Purchase and Assumption 
Agreements with the FDIC. These cash flows were discounted to reflect the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the loss sharing 
reimbursement from the FDIC.  

Because the acquired loans are subject to a FDIC loss sharing agreement and a corresponding indemnification asset exists to 
represent  the  value  of  expected  payments  from  the  FDIC,  increases  and  decreases  in  loan  accretable  yield  due  to  changing  loss 
expectations  will  also  have  an  impact  to  the  valuation  of  the  FDIC  indemnification  asset.  Improvement  in  loss  expectations  will 
typically increase loan accretable yield and decrease the value of the FDIC indemnification asset, and in some instances, result in an 
amortizable premium on the FDIC indemnification asset. Increases in loss expectations will typically be recognized as impairment in 

28 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
the current period through allowance for loan losses while resulting in additional non-interest income for the amount of the increase in 
the FDIC indemnification asset. 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets  

The  Company  is  accounting  for  goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets  in  accordance  with  FASB  ASC  350,  Intangibles  - 
Goodwill and Others. FASB ASC 350 discontinues any amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives, but 
requires  an  impairment  review  at  least  annually  or  more  often  if  certain  conditions  exist.  Goodwill  impairment  charges  of  $5.727 
million and $31.949 million were realized in 2010 and 2009, respectively. All of the Company’s goodwill has been impaired and the 
carrying  value  at  December  31,  2010  is  $0.  Additionally,  under  FASB  ASC  350,  acquired  intangible  assets  (such  as  core  deposit 
intangibles)  are  separately  recognized  if  the  benefit  of  the  assets  can  be  sold,  transferred,  licensed,  rented,  or  exchanged,  and 
amortized  over  their  useful  lives  The  costs  of  purchased  deposit  relationships  and  other  intangible  assets,  based  on  independent 
valuation  by  a  qualified  third  party,  are  being  amortized  over  their  estimated  lives.  Core  deposit  intangible  amortization  expense 
charged to operations was $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 
$2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The core deposit intangible is evaluated for impairment in accordance with FASB 
ASC 350.  

OVERVIEW  

At December 31, 2011, the Company had total assets of $1.092 billion, a decrease of $23.1 million, or 2.1%, from total assets 
of $1.116 billion at December 31, 2010. Total loans, including $97.6 million in loans covered by the FDIC shared loss agreements, 
were  $642.3 million  at  December  31,  2011,  increasing  $1.2  million,  or  0.2%,  from  $641.1  million  at  December  31,  2010.   The 
carrying value of covered loans declined $18.0 million, or 15.6%, from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. Non-covered loans 
equaled  $544.7  million  at  December  31,  2011,  increasing  $19.2  million,  or  3.7%,  since  December  31,  2010.    Non-covered  loans 
increased $39.6 million from September 30, 2011 to December 31, 2011.  

The  Company’s  securities  portfolio,  excluding  equity  securities,  decreased  $3.1  million,  or  1.0%,  during  the  year  ended 
December  31,  2011  to  $297.2  million  with  realized  gains  of  $2.9  million  through  sales  activity.  The  Company  had  cash  and  cash 
equivalents of $21.8 million at December 31, 2011, compared with $33.4 million at December 31, 2010.  There were no Federal funds 
sold at December 31, 2011, compared with $2.0 million at December 31, 2010.   

The  Company  is  required  to  account  for  the effect  of  market  changes  in  the  value of  securities  available-for-sale  (“AFS”) 
under FASB ASC 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. The market value of the December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 
AFS portfolio was $232.8 and $215.6 million, respectively. At December 31, 2011, the Company had a net unrealized gain in the AFS 
portfolio of $4.9 million versus a net unrealized loss of $219,000 at December 31, 2010.  

Bank  owned  life  insurance  increased  $7.8  million  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011,  as  the  Company  made  an 
additional investment on December 30, 2011. Bank owned life insurance was $14.6 million at December 31, 2011. The income on this 
investment is reflected in noninterest income.  

Interest bearing deposits at December 31, 2011 were $868.5 million, a decrease of $30.8 million from December 31, 2010. 
Management kept rates low among all of the Bank’s markets as loan demand remained weak and covered loans continued to decline 
in volume. Throughout 2011, the Company attempted to restructure the deposit mix away from higher priced deposits and more into 
lower cost transactional accounts. As a result, total time deposits as a percent of total interest bearing deposits, declined from 66.9% at 
December  31,  2010  to  63.8%  at  December  31,  2011.  The  Company  had  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  (FHLB)  advances  aggregating 
$37.0 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010.  

Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2011 was $111.2 million, or 10.2% of total assets, and increased from stockholders’ 

equity of $107.1 million, or 9.6% of total assets, at December 31, 2010.  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  

Net Income  

For the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, net income increased $22.4 million, 
or  106.9%,  from  net  loss  of  $21.0  million  in  2010  to  net  income  of  $1.4  million  in  2011.    Net  income  available  to  common 
stockholders was $354,000, or $0.02 per common share on a diluted basis for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared with a net 
loss available to common stockholders of $22.1 million, or $1.03 per common share on a diluted basis, for the year ended December 
31, 2010.   The improvement in 2011 net income compared with 2010 was driven by a reduction of $25.9 million in provision for loan 
losses and a reduction of $5.7 million in impairment of goodwill charges.  All remaining goodwill balances were fully written off in 

29 

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
2010.    Net  income  was  additionally  aided  in  2011  compared  with  2010  through  expense  reductions  of  $3.7  million,  excluding 
impairment of goodwill. 

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a net loss available to common shareholders of $22.1 million 
compared with a net loss of $30.8 million for 2009. Basic and fully diluted earnings per share were ($1.03) for 2010 versus ($1.43) for 
2009, respectively. Losses for both years were primarily driven by two factors: $27.4 million and $19.1 million in loan loss provisions 
in 2010 and 2009, respectively, and non-tax deductible impairment of goodwill charges of $5.7 million in 2010 and $31.9 million in 
2009.  

Net Interest Income  

The Company’s operating results depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income 
on  interest-earning  assets,  including  securities  and  loans,  and  interest  expense  incurred  on  interest-bearing  liabilities,  including 
deposits  and  other  borrowed  funds.  Interest  rate  fluctuations,  as  well  as  changes  in  the  amount  and  type  of  earning  assets  and 
liabilities, combine to affect net interest income.  

Net  interest  income  was  $43.8  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011,  compared  with  $40.5  million  for  the  year 
ended December 31, 2010.  The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of decreases of $104.5 million, or 10.4%, in 
the average balances of interest bearing  liabilities coupled with lower rates, which has reduced interest expense 33.5%, from $18.4 
million in 2010 to $12.2 million in 2011.  The tax equivalent net interest margin increased to 4.72% for the year ended December 31, 
2011 from 4.10% for the year ended December 31, 2010.   

Interest and fees on non-covered loans decreased $4.2 million, or 12.5%, to aggregate $29.3 million during 2011. Interest and 
fee income on covered loans equaled $17.6 million during 2011. Cost of interest bearing liabilities totaled $12.2 million during 2011 
of  which  interest  on  deposits  was  $10.8  million.  This  compares  with  $18.4  million  in  total  interest  expense  and  $17.0  million  in 
interest on deposits, respectively in 2010.  

The Company’s total loan to deposit ratio was 68.80% at December 31, 2011 versus 66.67% at December 31, 2010. The ratio 
remained fairly constant during the year as management was successful in generating new loan growth in the later part of 2011.  This 
was offset by a decline of $18.0 million in the self-liquidating covered loan portfolio.  Deposit balances also declined $28.2 million in 
2011 which positively affected the total loan to deposit ratio.  

The Bank’s net interest margin improved 27 basis points during 2010, from 3.83% in 2009, to 4.10% in 2010, mainly from 
management  lowering  the  cost  of  funds  throughout  the  year.  Net  interest  income  increased  from  $39.4  million  in  2009,  to  $40.5 
million  in  2010.  Interest  and  fees  on  non-covered  loans  decreased  $2.6  million,  or  7.2%,  to  aggregate  $33.4  million  during  2010. 
Interest and fee income on covered loans equaled $13.8 million during 2010. Cost of interest bearing liabilities totaled $18.4 million 
during 2010 of which interest on deposits was $17.0 million.

Noninterest Income  

For the year ended December 31, 2011, noninterest income equaled negative $5.0 million, compared with $1.6 million for the 
year  ended  December  31,  2010.  This  change  was  due  primarily  to  accelerated  FDIC  indemnification  asset  amortization  of  $7.2 
million, from $3.2 million for 2010 to $10.4 million for 2011.  The increase in FDIC indemnification asset amortization correlates to 
the increased yield realized in interest and fees on FDIC covered loans over the same time frame, as projected losses carried within the 
FDIC  indemnification  asset  have  been  realized  instead,  through  payment  performance  of  the  associated  borrowers.    Management 
continues  to  refine  and  enhance  the  methodology  to  amortize  the  indemnification  asset  based  on  the  historical  and  projected  cash 
flows of the FDIC covered loan portfolio.  These enhancements should result in amortization of the indemnification asset that more 
closely  correlates  to  the  accretable  yield  of the  FDIC  covered  loan portfolio.   Other  noninterest  income  declined  $898,000  in 2011 
compared with 2010.  Other noninterest income was $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $2.9 million for the year 
ended December 30, 2011.  This decrease reflects fewer reimbursable loss events in FDIC covered loans.  

For the year ended December 31, 2010, noninterest income was $1.6 million compared with $26.2 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2009.  The magnitude of the $24.6 million change year over year was due to the one-time $20.3 million pre-tax gain 
related to the acquisition of SFSB in 2009.  Excluding the one-time gain in 2009, noninterest income would have been $6.0 million for 
the year, which would have resulted in a decline in noninterest income of $4.3 million when comparing the year end periods.    

Other  noninterest  income  for  the  year  ended    December  31,  2010  included  net  write-downs  and  losses  of  $849,000  on 
covered  other  real  estate  in  the  FDIC  acquired  SFSB  portfolio,  comprised  of  $4.2  million  of  write-downs  and  sales  offset  by  $3.4 
million  due  from  the  FDIC.    The  net  amount  reflects  the  Company’s  20%  loss  portion  under  the  shared  loss  agreements  with  the 
FDIC.  

In addition, lower than expected losses in the covered loan portfolio resulted in a reduction of the FDIC indemnification asset 
of $3.2 million during 2010. These losses are partially offset by increased loan yield on covered loans presented in the net interest 
margin calculation. Service charges on deposit accounts were $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared with $2.5 
million for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Securities gains totaled $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared 
with $856,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  

Provision for Loan Losses  

Management actively monitors the Company’s asset quality and provides specific loss provisions when necessary. Provisions 
for loan losses are charged to income to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management of the 
Company  based  on  such  factors  as  historical  credit  loss  experience,  industry  diversification  of  the  commercial  loan  portfolio,  the 
amount  of  nonperforming  loans  and  related  collateral,  the  volume  growth  and  composition  of  the  loan  portfolio,  current  economic

conditions that  may affect the borrower’s ability to pay and the  value of collateral, the evaluation of the loan portfolio through the 
internal  loan  review  function  and  other  relevant  factors.    See  Allowance  for  Loan  Losses  on  Non-covered  loans  in  the  Critical 
Accounting Policies section above for further discussion.   

Loans are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses when appropriate. Although management believes it uses the best 
information  available  to  make  determinations  with  respect  to  the  provision  for  loan  losses,  future  adjustments  may  be  necessary  if 
economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.  

Management also actively monitors its covered loan portfolio for impairment and necessary loan loss provisions.  Provisions 

for covered loans may be necessary due to a change in expected cash flows or an increase in expected losses within a pool of loans. 

In  2010,  a  number  of  factors  influenced  credit  risk  management  practices,  including  the  economy,  the  rising  level  of 
nonperforming  assets,  deterioration  within  the  Company’s  loan  portfolio  and  regulatory  concerns.    As  a  result,  the  Company  took 
provisions for loan losses totaling $27.4 million in 2010. In 2011, improved credit risk management, which resulted in a lower level of 
nonperforming assets, influenced the assessment the Company makes concerning the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses and the 
need for a provision. In 2011, the Company had provision for loan losses of $1.5 million.    

The allowance for loan losses was 52.0% of non-covered nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2011, compared with 69.9% of 
non-covered nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2010. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total non-covered loans was 2.72% at 
December 31, 2011, compared with 4.86% at December 31, 2010. The decrease in this ratio from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 
2011 is primarily the result of earlier recognition and resolution of problem credits and aggressive charge-offs, in addition to work-
outs  of  nonperforming  loans.  In  addition,  the  Bank  held  $36.5  million  in  government-guaranteed  loans  of  the  United  States 
Department of Agriculture (USDA) at December 31, 2011, with no allowance for loan losses required.  Net charged-off loans were 
$12.2  million  in  2011,  compared  with  $19.1  million  in  2010.  Net  charged-off  loans  have  declined  from  $8.7  million  in  the  fourth 
quarter of 2010, $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2011, $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, $1.0 million in the third quarter of 
2011, and were $929,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011. 

The  Company  incurred  $27.4  million  in  provision  for  loan  losses  for  non-covered  loans  for  the  year  ended  December  31, 
2010 and a $19.1 million provision for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $8.3 million, or 43.3%.  The ratio of the 
allowance  for  loan  losses  to  nonperforming  non-covered  loans  was  69.2%  at  December  31,  2010  compared  with  89.7%  at 
December 31, 2009.  The  ratio  of  allowance for  loan  losses  to  total  non-covered  loans was  4.86%  at  December  31,  2010  compared 
with 3.14% at December 31, 2009.  Net charge-offs were $19.2 million during 2010 compared with $7.9 million during 2009. The 
increase in charge-offs during 2010 was mainly the result of more aggressive action taken related to non-performing loans.  

The increase to the loan loss reserves as a percentage of total non-covered loans during 2010 reflects economic conditions 
that continued to show signs of deterioration for classified assets.  The significant loan loss provision for the year was due primarily to 
an  increase  in  non-performing  loans  of  $16.7  million  since  December  31,  2009  and  a  desire  to  further  insulate  from  the  economic 
downturn.   

For the year ended December 31, 2010, a provision for loan losses on the covered loan portfolio of $880,000 established an 
allowance for covered loan losses of the same amount.  This provision was due solely to timing differences in expected cash flows, not 
an increase in expected losses. This provision occurred in the second quarter of 2010 and is in accordance with FASB ASC 310-30. 
There  was  no  provision  for  loan  losses  on  the  covered  loan  portfolio  in  2011.  The  allowance  for  covered  loans  was  $776,000  at 
December 31, 2011, and $829,000 at December 31, 2010.    

While the Maryland loan portfolio contains significant risk, it was considered in determining the initial fair value, which was 
reflected in adjustments recorded at the time of the SFSB transaction, less the FDIC guaranteed portion of losses on covered assets. 
Please refer to the Asset Quality discussion below for further analysis.  

Noninterest Expenses  

For the year ended December 31, 2011, noninterest expenses declined 20.8%, or $9.4 million.  Excluding an impairment of 
goodwill charge taken in 2010, noninterest expenses would have declined by $3.7 million, or 9.3%, as 12 of 15 expense categories 
exhibited declines during 2011 compared to 2010.  The largest decrease occurred in salaries and employee benefits, which declined 
13.5%, or $2.6 million, from $19.2 million in 2010 to $16.6 million in 2011.  Professional fees declined 67.6%, or $1.2 million, from 
$1.8 million in 2010 to $583,000 in 2011.  Other decreases of $100,000 or more occurred in data processing, which declined $441,000 
in 2011 and equipment expense, which declined $157,000. 

Offsetting these decreases in noninterest expenses in 2011 compared with 2010 were increases in other operating expenses of 
$406,000, from $6.8 million in 2010 to $7.2 million in 2011 and FDIC assessment, which increased by $393,000, from $2.4 million to 
$2.8 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, noninterest expenses aggregated $45.3 million compared with $76.0 million for the 
year ended December 31, 2009. The largest component of the 40.4% decrease was the $31.9 million in goodwill impairment charges 
during 2009. Excluding the goodwill impairment charges of $5.7 million and $31.9 million during 2010 and 2009, respectively, total 
noninterest expense declined $4.5 million or 10.2%. Salary and employee benefits were $19.2 million at December 31, 2010 versus 
$22.0 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 12.6%. Lower salary and employee benefit expense was the direct 
result  of  management  implementing  an  expense  reduction  initiative  that  included  the  elimination  of  certain  management  level 
positions and the planned centralization of remaining support services from the Maryland and Georgia operations to the Company's 
Virginia headquarters.   

During 2009, noninterest expenses were $76.0 million; inclusive of the aforementioned $31.9 million in goodwill impairment 
charges. Salaries and employee benefits were $22.0 million and represented 49.9% of noninterest expense, exclusive of the goodwill 
impairment  charge.  During  2009,  the  management  team  expanded,  providing  additional  depth  to  the  management  of  the  Company 
during a time of rapid growth.  

In February 2010, the Company approved two transaction-based bonus awards in the aggregate amount of $3.0 million to the 
officer who was the Company’s then chief strategic officer. The approval of the bonus awards was made pursuant to a provision in the 
officer’s  employment  agreement  that  provides  for  a  cash  bonus  payment  for  financial  advisory  and  other  services  that  the  officer 
renders  in  connection  with  the  negotiation  and  consummation  of  a  merger  or  other  business  combination  or  the  acquisition  of  a 
substantial  portion  of  the  assets  or  deposits  of  another  financial  institution.  The  bonus  awards  related  to  the  officer’s  services  with 
respect  to  the Bank’s  acquisition of  certain  assets  and  assumption  of  all  deposit  liabilities  of four  former  branch offices  of  TCB  in 
November 2008 and the Bank’s acquisition of certain assets and assumption of all deposit liabilities of seven former branch offices of 
SFSB  in  January  2009.  The  amounts  of  the  bonuses  are  based  on,  with  respect  to  the  TCB  transaction,  the  total  amount  of  non-
brokered deposits that the Bank assumed in that transaction and, with respect to the SFSB transaction, the total amount of loans and 
other assets that the Bank acquired in that transaction, and the Company looked closely at a number of factors, including the value that 
each  of  the  transactions  provided  the  Company,  in  approving  the  bonuses.  In  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting 
principles, the Company reflected these bonuses in the financial statements for the year and three months ended December 31, 2009. 
See Note 17 to the Company’s financial information for additional information with respect to these bonus awards.  

Other noninterest expense costs during 2010 included other operating expenses of $6.8 million, data processing fees of $2.3 
million,  occupancy  expenses  of  $2.9  million,  FDIC  assessments  of  $2.4  million,  amortization  of  core  deposit  intangibles  of  $2.3 
million, professional fees of $1.8 million, equipment expense of $1.4 million, and legal fees of $456,000. 

Other noninterest expense costs during 2009 included other operating expenses of $6.8 million, data processing fees of $2.8 
million,  occupancy  expenses  of  $2.7  million,  FDIC  assessments  of  $2.9  million,  amortization  of  core  deposit  intangibles  of  $2.2 
million, professional fees of $2.0 million, equipment expense of $1.6 million, and legal fees of $1.0 million.  

Income Taxes  

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011,  income  tax  expense  was  $60,000,  compared  with  an  income  tax  benefit  of  $9.4 

million and income tax expense of $404,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  

The Company has evaluated the need for a deferred tax valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 
in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Based on a three year taxable income projection, tax strategies which would result 
in potential securities gains and the effects of off-setting deferred tax liabilities, the Company believes that it is more likely than not 
that the deferred tax assets are realizable. Therefore, no allowance was required.   

Income tax expense during 2009 relative to the net operating loss is directly attributable to the goodwill impairment charges 

taken during the year and the Company’s inability to use it as a tax deduction, despite the substantial reduction to earnings.  

Asset Quality – non-covered assets  

The  allowance  for  loan  losses  represents  management’s  estimate  of  the  amount  appropriate  to  provide  for  probable  losses 

inherent in the loan portfolio.  

Non-covered loan quality is continually monitored, and the Company’s management has established an allowance for loan 
losses  that  it  believes  is  appropriate  for  the  risks  inherent  in  the  loan  portfolio.  Among  other  factors,  management  considers  the 
Company’s historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, the value and appropriateness of collateral and 
guarantors, non-performing credits and current and anticipated economic conditions. There are additional risks of future loan losses, 
which  cannot  be  precisely  quantified  nor  attributed  to  particular  loans  or  classes  of  loans.  Because  those  risks  include  general 
economic trends, as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the allowance for loan losses is an estimate. The allowance is 

34 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  
 
 
also  subject  to  regulatory  examinations  and  determination  as  to  appropriateness,  which  may  take  into  account  such  factors  as  the 
methodology  used  to  calculate  the  allowance  and  size  of  the  allowance  in  comparison  to  peer  companies  identified  by  regulatory 
agencies.  See  Allowance  for  Loan  Losses  on  Non-covered  loans  in  the  Critical  Accounting  Policies  section  above  for  further 
discussion. 

The Company maintains a list of non-covered loans that have potential weaknesses which may need special attention. This 
nonperforming loan list is used to monitor such loans and is used in the determination of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan 
losses. At December 31, 2011, nonperforming assets totaled $40.8 million and net charge-offs were $12.2 million. This compares with 
nonperforming assets of $42.8 million and net charge-offs of $19.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  

Nonperforming  non-covered  loans  decreased  $6.4  million  during  2011,  attributable  to  approximately  $20.9  million  being 
placed in nonaccrual status. Approximately $18.2 million of these additions relate to loans for commercial real estate, residential real 
estate,  and  construction  and  land  development,  which  are  secured  by  real  estate.    The  remaining  increase  in  nonperforming  loans 
during 2011 are all smaller credit relationships. Offsetting the additions were $7.9 million in charge-offs taken during 2011, of which 
one commercial loan totaled $1.6 million. The remaining charge-offs were centered in commercial real estate, construction and land 
development, residential real estate, and commercial loans. Foreclosures for 2011 totaled $7.8 million, $5.3 million were reinstated to 
accruing status, and $6.3 million in balances were paid down.  

Nonperforming  non-covered  loans  increased  $16.7  million  during  2010,  attributable  to  approximately  $27.7  million  being 
placed in nonaccrual status. Approximately $17.3 million of these additions relate to loans for commercial real estate and construction 
and land development, which are secured by real estate.  The remaining increase in nonperforming loans during 2010 are all smaller 
credit relationships. These loans are primarily residential real estate and are secured by real estate. There were approximately $10.6 
million in charge-offs taken relating primarily to commercial real estate, construction and land development, and residential real estate 
loans during 2010. 

During the second quarter of 2010, the Company added a new risk grade, Special Mention, to its risk grade methodology, 
which  expanded  the  risk  grades  from  eight  to  nine.    The  Company  defines  the  population  of  potentially  impaired  loans  as  those 
classified  as  Substandard  and  Doubtful.    The  addition  of  the  new  risk  grade  had  no  material  impact  on  the  dollar  amount  of 
Substandard and Doubtful loans. 

As a part of its risk grade migration plan, the Company hired an independent third party to evaluate, confirm and classify 
approximately 65.0% of the non-covered loan portfolio because of the new risk grade and consisting of the following described loans:  
all loans or loan relationships of $1.0 million or greater, all acquisition development and construction loans of $250,000 or greater, 
watch loans and classified/impaired loans $500,000 or greater, and a statistical sampling of all other loans with an exposure between 
$250,000  and  $1.0  million.      As  a  result  of  this  credit  review  there  was  a  migration  of  approximately  $44.7  million  from  Special 
Mention into Substandard and Doubtful that are the impaired loan categories. 

The above mentioned changes increased the dollar amount of impaired loans reported in the second quarter of 2010.  These 
loans were analyzed pursuant to FASB ASC 310 and incrementally increased the allowance for loans losses in the amount of $6.7 
million.   

In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company determined that as a result of credit downgrades due to perceived credit weakness 
its risk grade definition that had previously comprised impaired loans (Substandard and Doubtful) included some loans that were not 
impaired  under  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  (GAAP).    The  GAAP  definition  states  that  an  individual  loan  is  impaired 
when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance 
with the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  As a consequence, the Company determined that it had inadvertently overstated the 
amount of impaired loans during the second and third quarters of 2010, by $76.0 million and $77.0 million, respectively (based on the 
definition used at December 31, 2010) as the substandard and doubtful loans included loans rated such due to collateral deficiencies or 
financial documentation weaknesses, which did not in itself indicate impairment. Notwithstanding this situation, the Company does 
not believe that this misstatement had any material impact on the allowance for loan losses calculation as the portion of the allowance 
for unimpaired loans would have increased as a result of the weaknesses identified.  

The Company has modified its application of the definition of impaired loans to include all troubled debt restructured and 
nonaccrual loans.  In addition, the Company reviews all substandard and doubtful loans that are not on nonaccrual status, as well as 
loans  with  other  risk  characteristics,  pursuant  to  and  specifically  for  compliance  with  the  accounting  definition  of  impairment  as 
described above.  These impaired loans have been determined through analysis, appraisals, or other methods used by management.

(1)  As of first quarter 2011, the Company includes the reserve on impaired loans evaluated as a pool as part of the specific reserve.  The amount of this reserve 
was $346,000 as of December 31, 2011.   Impaired loans were not evaluated as pools in 2009 or 2008. 

At December 31, 2011, the Company had 11 construction and land development credit relationships in nonaccrual status. The 
borrowers for eight of these relationships are residential land developers, and the borrowers under the remaining three are commercial 
land  developers.  All  of  the  relationships  are  secured  by  the  real  estate  to  be  developed,  and  almost  all  of  such  projects  are  in  the 
Company’s  central  Virginia  market.  The  total  amount  of  the  credit  exposure  outstanding  at  December 31,  2011  was  $12.7  million. 
These loans have either been charged-down or sufficiently reserved against to equate to the current expected realizable value. 

During the 2011, the Company charged off $1.2 million with respect to three of these relationships. The total amount of the 
allowance for loan losses attributed to all 11 relationships was $626,000 at December 31, 2011, or 4.92% of the total credit exposure 
outstanding.  The  Company  establishes  its  reserves  as  described  above  in  Allowance  for  Loan  Losses  on  Non-covered  loans  in  the 
Critical  Accounting  Policies  section.  In  conjunction  with  the  impairment  analysis  the  Company  performs  as  part  of  its  allowance 
methodology, the Company ordered appraisals for all loans with balances in excess of $250,000 unless there existed an appraisal that 
was not older than 12 months. The Company orders an automated valuation for balances between $100,000 and $250,000 and uses a 
ratio  analysis  for  balances  less  than  $100,000.  The  Company  maintains  detailed  analysis  and  other  information  for  its  allowance 
methodology, both for internal purposes and for review by its regulators. 

The  Company  performs  troubled  debt  restructures  and  other  various  loan  workouts  whereby  an  existing  loan  may  be 
restructured into multiple new loans. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had 15 loans that met the definition of a troubled 
debt restructure (“TDR”), which are loans that for reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties have been restructured on terms 
and conditions that would otherwise not be offered or granted. Two of these loans was restructured using multiple new loans. Loans 
are  removed  as  a  TDR  if  after  a  year  following  the  restructuring,  the  loan  is  performing  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the 
restructuring agreement and the restructuring agreement specifies an interest rate equal to or greater than the rate the Company was 
willing to accept at the time of the restructuring for a new loan of comparable risk.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the aggregated 
outstanding  principal  of  these  loans  was  $8.3  million  and  $10.5  million,  respectively,  of  which  $2.4  million  and  $6.5  million, 
respectively, was classified as nonaccural.  

The primary benefit of the restructured multiple loan workout strategy is to maximize the potential return by restructuring the 
loan into a “good loan” (the A loan) and a “bad loan” (the B loan). The impact on interest is positive because the Bank is collecting 
interest  on  the  A  loan  rather  than  potentially  foregoing  interest  on  the  entire  original  loan  structure.  The  A  loan  is  underwritten 
pursuant  to  the  Bank’s  standard  requirements  and  graded  accordingly.  The  B  loan  is  classified  as  either  “doubtful”  or  “loss”.  An

impairment analysis is performed on the B loan, and, based on its results, all or a portion of the B note is charged-off or a specific loan 
loss reserve is established.  

The Company does not modify its nonaccrual policies in this arrangement, and the A loan and the B loan stand on their own 
terms. At the time of its inception, this structure meets the definition of a TDR. If the loan is on nonaccrual at the time of restructure, 
the A loan is held on nonaccrual until six consecutive payments have been received, at which time it may be put back on an accrual 
status. The B loan is placed on nonaccrual. Under the terms of each loan, the borrower’s payment is contractually due.

See Note 4 to the Company’s financial statements for information related to the allowance for loan losses. As of December 

31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, total impaired non-covered loans equaled $35.2 million and $45.0 million, respectively. 

Asset Quality –covered assets  

Loans accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30 are generally considered accruing and performing loans as the loans accrete 
interest  income  over  the  estimated  life  of  the  loan.  Accordingly,  acquired  impaired  loans  that  are  contractually  past  due  are  still 
considered to be accruing and performing loans.  

The Company makes an estimate of the total cash flows that it expects to collect from a pool of covered loans, which include 
undiscounted expected principal and interest. Over the life of the loan or pool, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected 
to be collected. Subsequent decreases in cash flows expected to be collected over the life of the pool are recognized as impairment in 
the  current  period  through  the  allowance for loan  losses. Subsequent  increases  in  expected  cash  flows  are  first  used  to  reverse  any 
existing valuation allowance for that loan or pool. Any remaining increase in cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an 
adjustment to the yield over the remaining life of the pool.  

Covered  assets  that  would  normally  be  considered  nonperforming  except  for  the  accounting  requirements  regarding 
purchased  impaired  loans  and  other  real  estate  owned  covered  by  the  FDIC  shared  loss  agreements  at  December 31  are  as  follows

under the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of this item.  

Capital Requirements  

The determination of capital adequacy depends upon a number of factors, such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings, growth 
trends  and  economic  conditions.  The  Company  seeks  to  maintain  a  strong  capital  base  to  support  its  growth  and  expansion  plans, 
provide stability to current operations and promote public confidence in the Company.

The federal banking regulators have defined three tests for assessing the capital strength and adequacy of banks, based on two 
definitions of capital. “Tier 1 Capital” is defined as common equity, retained earnings and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, less 
certain  intangibles..  “Tier 2  Capital”  is  defined  as  specific  subordinated  debt,  some  hybrid  capital  instruments  and  other  qualifying 
preferred stock and a limited amount of the loan loss allowance. “Total Capital” is defined as tier 1 capital plus tier 2 capital. Three 
risk-based  capital  ratios  are  computed  using  the  above  capital  definitions,  total  assets  and  risk-weighted  assets  and  are  measured 
against regulatory minimums to ascertain adequacy. All assets and off-balance sheet risk items are grouped into categories according 
to  degree  of  risk  and  assigned  a  risk-weighting  and  the  resulting  total  is  risk-weighted  assets.  “Tier 1  risk-based  capital”  is  tier 1 
capital divided by risk-weighted assets. “Total risk-based capital” is total capital divided by risk-weighted assets. The leverage ratio is 
tier 1 capital divided by adjusted average total assets.  

The Company’s ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 16.16% on December 31, 2011. The ratio of tier 1 capital to 

risk-weighted assets was 15.01% on December 31, 2011. The Company’s leverage ratio was 8.91% on December 31, 2011.  

The Company’s ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 15.58% on December 31, 2010. The ratio of tier 1 capital to 

risk-weighted assets was 14.40% on December 31, 2010. The Company’s leverage ratio was 8.12% on December 31, 2010.  

All capital ratios exceed regulatory minimums for well capitalized institutions as referenced in Note 21 to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements. In the fourth quarter of 2003, BOE issued trust preferred subordinated debt that qualifies as regulatory capital. 
This trust preferred debt has a 30-year maturity with a 5-year call option and was issued at a rate of three month LIBOR plus 3.00%. 
The weighted average cost of this instrument was 3.43%, 3.34% and 3.89% during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  

Loans  

Total loans, including FDIC covered loans, at December 31, 2011 were $642.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million, compared 
with  $641.1  million  at  December 31,  2010.  The  fair  value  of  covered  loans  aggregated  $97.6  million  and  $115.5  million  at 
December 31,  2011  and  2010,  respectively.  The  non-covered  loan  portfolio  increased  $19.2  million,  or  3.6%  during  2011.  The 
increase in loan volume within the non-covered loan portfolio was the direct result of the purchase of $36.5 million in USDA loans 
and a renewed focus on loan generation. The Company is aggressively working to change the mix of the non-covered portfolio away 
from large construction and land development loans and more into commercial and consumer secured installment loans.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Covered Loans  

The covered loans acquired are subject to credit review standards described above for non-covered loans. If and when credit 
deterioration occurs subsequent to the acquisition date, a provision for credit loss for covered loans will be charged to earnings for the 
full amount without regard to the FDIC shared-loss agreements. The Company makes an estimate of the total cash flows it expects to 
collect from a pool of covered loans, which includes undiscounted expected principal and interest. Over the life of the loan or pool, the 
Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. Subsequent decreases in cash flows expected to be collected over 
the  life  of  the  pool  are  recognized  as  impairment  in  the  current  period  through  allowance  for  loan  loss.  Subsequent  increases  in 
expected cash flows are first used to reverse any existing valuation allowance for that loan or pool. Any remaining increase in cash 
flows expected to be collected is recognized as an adjustment to the yield over the remaining life of the pool.  

Securities  

As  of  December  31,  2011,  securities  equaled  $304.1  million,  a  decrease  of  $3.4  million,  or  1.1%,  from  the  prior  year.  At 
December 31, 2011, the Company had securities designated available for sale of $232.8 million and held to maturity of $64.4 million, 
with equity securities totaling $6.9 million. In 2011, the Company realized $1.9 million in gains on sales of securities, net of tax. A 
change  in  the  portfolio  mix  resulted  in  an  increase  in  mortgage  backed  securities,  which  provide  monthly  cash  flows,  and  will 
positively affect reinvestment in higher rates.   

As of December 31, 2010, securities equaled $307.5 million, an increase of $6.6 million, or 2.2%, from the prior year. At 
December 31, 2010, the Company had securities designated available for sale of $215.6 million and held to maturity of $84.8 million, 
with  equity  securities  totaling  $7.2  million.  The  increase in  the  securities  portfolio  was  due  to  the  decline  in  total  loan  demand, as 
excess  deposit  balances  were  invested  accordingly.  The  Company  realized  gains  on  securities  of  $2.4  million,  net  of  tax,  in  2010, 
primarily through the fourth quarter sale of longer term tax-exempt municipal and agency mortgage-backed securities, and reinvested 
in shorter term U.S. Treasury bonds, thus enhancing risk-based capital ratios and protecting against potential future interest rate risk.

Liquidity represents the Company’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, and certain investment securities. As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets 
and  the  ability  to  generate  liquidity  through  liability  funding,  management  believes  that  the  Company  maintains  overall  liquidity 
sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.  

The Company’s results of operations are significantly affected by its ability to manage effectively the interest rate sensitivity 
and maturity of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s interest-earning assets 
exceeded its interest-bearing liabilities by approximately $47.9 million versus $32.9 million at December 31, 2010.

Capital  resources  are obtained  and  accumulated  through  earnings  with  which  financial  institutions may  exercise  control in 
comparison with deposits and borrowed funds. The adequacy of the Company’s capital is reviewed by management on an ongoing 
basis  with  reference  to  size,  composition,  and  quality  of  the  Company’s  balance  sheet.  Moreover,  capital  levels  are  regulated  and 
compared with industry standards. Management seeks to maintain a capital level exceeding regulatory statutes of “well capitalized” 
which is consistent to its overall growth plans, yet allows the Company to provide the optimal return to its shareholders.  

On December 19, 2008, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Treasury pursuant to which it issued 
17,680 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 
per share, for a total price of $17.68 million. The issuance was made pursuant to the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Plan under TARP. 
The Preferred Stock pays a cumulative dividend at a rate of 5% per year during the first five years and thereafter at 9% per year. As 
part  of  its  purchase  of  the  Series A  Preferred  Stock,  the  Treasury  Department  received  a  warrant  (the  “Warrant”)  to  purchase 
780,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial per share exercise price of $3.40. 

On December 12, 2003, BOE Statutory Trust I, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BOE, was formed for the purpose of issuing 
redeemable  capital  securities.  On  December 12,  2003,  $4.124 million  of  trust  preferred  securities  were  issued  through  a  direct 
placement. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of interest. The average interest rate at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 
2009  was 3.43%,  3.34%  and  3.89%,  respectively.  The  securities  have  a  mandatory  redemption  date of December 12,  2033  and  are 
subject  to  varying  call  provisions  which  began  December 12,  2008.  The  trust  preferred  notes  may  be  included  in  tier 1  capital  for 
regulatory capital adequacy determination purposes up to 25% of tier 1 capital after its inclusion. The portion of the trust preferred not 
considered as tier 1 capital may be included in tier 2 capital. At December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, all trust preferred notes 
were included in tier 1 capital.

Financial Ratios  

Financial  ratios  give  investors  a  way  to  compare  companies  within  industries  to  analyze  financial  performance.  Return  on 
average assets is net income as a percentage of average total assets. It is a key profitability ratio that indicates how effectively a bank 
has  used  its  total  resources.  Return  on  average  equity  is  net  income  as  a  percentage  of  average  shareholders’  equity.  It  provides  a 
measure of how productively a Company’s equity has been employed. Dividend payout ratio is the percentage of net income paid to 
shareholders  as  cash  dividends  during  a  given  period.  It  is  computed  by  dividing  dividends  per  share  by  net  income  per  common

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client as long as there is no violation of any condition established 
in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. 
Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily 
represent  future  cash  requirements.  The  Bank  evaluates  each  client’s  credit  worthiness  on  a  case-by-case  basis.  The  amount  of 
collateral  obtained,  if  deemed  necessary  by  the  Bank  upon  extension  of  credit,  is  based  on  management’s  credit  evaluation  of  the 
counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing 
commercial properties.  

Unfunded  commitments  under  lines  of  credit  are  commitments  for  possible  future  extensions  of  credit  to  existing  clients. 

Those lines of credit may be drawn upon only to the total extent to which the Bank is committed.  

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a client to a third 
party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond 
financing,  and  similar  transactions.  The  credit  risk  involved  in  issuing  letters  of  credit  is  essentially  the  same  as  that  involved  in 
extending  loan  facilities  to  clients.  The  Bank  holds  certificates  of deposit,  deposit  accounts,  and  real  estate  as  collateral  supporting 
those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

combinations accounted  for using  the  purchase  method of  accounting. TCB  transaction  was  accounted  for as  an  asset  purchase. At 
December 31,  2011  and  2010,  core  deposit  intangible  assets  totaled  $12.6  million  and  $14.8,  respectively.      Goodwill  was  zero  at 
December 31, 2011 and 2010. 

In  reporting  the  results  of  2011,  2010  and  2009  in  Item  6  above,  the  Company  has  provided  supplemental  performance 
measures  on  an  operating  or  tangible  basis.  Such  measures  exclude  amortization  expense  related  to  intangible  assets,  such  as  core 
deposit  intangibles.  In  addition,  the  most  significant  impact  on  the  Company’s  GAAP  earnings  in  2009  arose  from  the  goodwill 
impairment charge described earlier in this section. The goodwill impairment charge was a non-cash, traditionally non-recurring item 
that created the GAAP loss for the year, and thus the supplemental performance measures exclude this item. The Company believes 
these  measures  are  useful  to  investors  as  they  exclude  non-operating  adjustments  resulting  from  acquisition  activity  and  allow 
investors to see the combined economic results of the organization. Non-GAAP operating earnings per share was $0.14 for the year 
ended December 31, 2011 compared with $(0.64) in 2010 and $0.17 in 2009. Non-GAAP return on average tangible common equity 
and  assets  for  the  year  ended  December 31,  2011  was  3.80%  and  0.28%,  respectively,  compared  with  (16.60%)  and  (1.17%), 
respectively, in 2010 and 3.74% and 0.30%, respectively, in 2009.   

  These measures are a supplement to GAAP used to prepare the Company’s financial statements and should not be viewed as 
a substitute for GAAP measures. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of 
other companies. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP measures from their respective GAAP basis measures for the years 
ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (dollars in thousands):

ITEM 7A.  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. The ongoing monitoring and management of interest rate 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  the  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 various periods, 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 monthly.  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 upward shift and a 200 basis point downward shift 
in interest rates. A parallel shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed.   

The following table represents the change to net interest income given interest rate shocks up and down 100 and 200 basis 

points at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (dollars in thousands):

At December 31, 2011, the Company’s interest rate risk model indicated that, in a rising rate environment of 200 basis points 
over a 12 month period, net interest income could decrease by 0.7%. For the same time period, the interest rate risk model indicated 
that  in  a  declining  rate  environment  of  200  basis  points,  net  interest  income  could  increase  by  1.5%.  While  these  percentages  are 
subjective  based  upon  assumptions  used  within  the  model,  management  believes  the  balance  sheet  is  appropriately  balanced  with 
acceptable risk to changes in interest rates.  

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a 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 such as 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. 

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 in anticipation of, changes in interest rates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

Board of Directors and Stockholders 
Community Bankers Trust Corporation and Subsidiary 
Glen Allen, Virginia 

We  have  audited 
the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Community  Bankers 
Trust Corporation and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related 
consolidated statements of income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the 
three  years  in  the  period  ended  December 31,  2011.  These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  the 
responsibility  of  the  Company’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these 
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.  

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 
Board  (United  States).  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audits  to  obtain 
reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement.  An 
audit  includes  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the 
financial  statements.  An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We 
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.  

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material 
respects,  the  financial  position  of  Community  Bankers  Trust Corporation  and  subsidiary  as  of 
December 31, 2011  and 2010, and the  results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the 
three  years  in  the  period  ended  December 31,  2011  in  conformity  with  U.S.  generally  accepted 
accounting principles. 

We  have  also  audited,  in accordance  with  the  standards  of the Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight 
Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, 
based on criteria established in Internal Control —  Integrated Framework  issued by the  Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”).   Our report dated March 
29, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over 
financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

Board of Directors and Stockholders 
Community Bankers Trust Corporation and Subsidiary 
Glen Allen, Virginia 

We  have  audited  the  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  of  Community  Bankers  Trust Corporation  and 
subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated 
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). 
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for 
its  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  included  in  the  accompanying 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.  

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board 
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included 
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness 
exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. 
Our  audit  also  included  performing  such  other  procedures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances.  We 
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.  

A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance 
regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in 
accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America.  A  company’s  internal 
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records 
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; 
(2) provide  reasonable  assurance  that  transactions  are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit  preparation  of  financial 
statements  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America,  and  that 
receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management 
and  directors  of  the  company;  and  (3) provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  prevention  or  timely  detection  of 
unauthorized  acquisition,  use,  or  disposition  of  the  company’s  assets  that  could  have  a  material  effect  on  the 
financial statements.  

inherent 

Because  of  its 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect 
misstatements.  Also,  projections  of  any  evaluation  of  effectiveness  to  future  periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that 
controls  may  become  inadequate  because  of  changes  in  conditions,  or  that  the  degree  of  compliance  with  the 
policies or procedures may deteriorate.  

limitations, 

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as 
of December 31, 2011, based on the COSO criteria. 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the 
related  consolidated  statements  of  income  (loss),  changes  in  stockholders’  equity,  and  cash  flows  for  each  of  the 
three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 and our report dated March 29, 2012 expressed an unqualified 
opinion thereon.

COMMUNITY BANKERS TRUST CORPORATION 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Note 1. Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies  
Organization  

Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the “Company”) is a bank holding company that was incorporated under Delaware law 
on April 6, 2005. The Company is headquartered in Glen Allen, Virginia and is the holding company for Essex Bank (the “Bank”), a 
Virginia state bank with 24 full-service offices in Virginia, Maryland and Georgia.  

The Company was initially formed as a special purpose acquisition company to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset 
acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in the banking industry. Prior to its acquisition of two 
bank holding companies in 2008, the Company’s activities were limited to organizational matters, completing its initial public offering 
and  seeking  and  evaluating  possible  business  combination  opportunities.  On  May 31,  2008,  the  Company  acquired  each  of 
TransCommunity  Financial  Corporation,  a  Virginia  corporation  (“TFC”),  and  BOE  Financial  Services  of  Virginia,  Inc.,  a  Virginia 
corporation  (“BOE”).  The  Company  changed  its  corporate  name  in  connection  with  the  acquisitions.  On  November 21,  2008,  the 
Bank  acquired  certain  assets  and  assumed  all  deposit  liabilities  relating  to  four  former  branch  offices  of  The  Community  Bank 
(“TCB”),  a  Georgia  state-chartered  bank.  On  January 30,  2009,  the  Bank  acquired  certain  assets  and  assumed  all  deposit  liabilities 
relating to seven former branch offices of Suburban Federal Savings Bank, Crofton, Maryland (“SFSB”).  

The Bank was established in 1926 and is headquartered in Tappahannock, Virginia. The Bank engages in a general commercial 
banking business and provides a wide range of financial services primarily to individuals and small businesses, including individual 
and commercial demand and time deposit accounts, commercial and industrial loans, consumer and small business loans, real estate 
and  mortgage  loans,  investment  services,  on-line  and  mobile  banking  products,  and  safe  deposit  box  facilities.  Thirteen  offices  are 
located in Virginia, primarily from the Chesapeake Bay to just west of Richmond, seven are located in Maryland along the Baltimore-
Washington corridor and four are located in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan market.  

Principles of Consolidation  

The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  the  Company  and  the  Bank,  its  wholly-owned 
subsidiary.  All  material  intercompany  balances  and  transactions  have  been  eliminated  in  consolidation.  FASB    ASC  810, 
Consolidation, requires that the Company no longer eliminate through consolidation the equity investment in BOE Statutory Trust I, 
which  approximated  $124,000  at  December 31,  2011and  2010.  The  subordinated  debt  of  the  Trust  is  reflected  as  a  liability  of  the 
Company.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents  

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash and due 

from banks, interest-bearing bank balances, and federal funds sold.  

Restricted Cash 

The Bank is required to maintain a reserve against its deposits in accordance with Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Act. For 

the final weekly reporting period in each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the aggregate amount of daily average 
required reserves was $7.8 million.  

 Securities  

Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and 
recorded  at  amortized  cost.  Securities  not  classified  as  held  to  maturity,  including  equity  securities  with  readily  determinable  fair 
values, are classified as “available for sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and 
reported in other comprehensive income. 

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. 
Declines  in  the  fair  value  of  held-to-maturity  and  available-for-sale  securities  below  their  cost  that  are  deemed  to  be  other  than 
temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other than temporary impairment losses, management considers 
(1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects 
of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow 

56 

 
 
  
 
 
 
 
COMMUNITY BANKERS TRUST CORPORATION 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

for  any  anticipated  recovery  in  fair  value.  Gains  and  losses  on  the  sale  of  securities  are  recorded  on  the  settlement  date  and  are 
determined using the specific identification method.  

Restricted Securities  

The  Company  is  required  to  maintain  an  investment  in  the  capital  stock  of  certain  correspondent  banks.  The  Company’s 

investment in these securities is recorded at cost.  

Loans Held for Sale  

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market in 
the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. Mortgage loans held for sale 
are sold with the mortgage servicing rights released by the Company.  

The Company enters into commitments to originate certain mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loans is determined 
prior to funding (rate lock commitments). Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be 
derivatives. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and the sale of the loan generally ranges from 
thirty  to  ninety  days.  The  Company  protects  itself  from  changes  in  interest  rates  through  the  use  of  best  efforts  forward  delivery 
commitments, whereby the Company commits to sell a loan at the time the borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the 
buyer has assumed interest rate risk on the loan. As a result, the Company is not exposed to losses nor will it realize significant gains 
related to its rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates. The correlation between the rate lock commitments and the best 
efforts  contracts  is  very  high  due  to  their  similarity.  Because  of  this  high  correlation,  the  gain  or  loss  that  occurs  on  the  rate  lock 
commitments is immaterial.  

Loans  

The  Bank  grants  mortgage,  commercial  and  consumer  loans  to  customers.  A  significant  portion  of  the  loan  portfolio  is 
represented by 1-4 family residential mortgage loans. The ability of the Bank’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the 
real estate and general economic conditions in the Bank’s market area.  

Loans that  management has the intent and ability  to hold for the foreseeable future or until  maturity or pay-off generally are 
reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or 
costs  on  originated  loans.  Interest  income  is  accrued  on  the  unpaid  principal  balance.  Loan  origination  fees,  net  of  certain  direct 
origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.  

The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the 
credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. In all 
cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.  

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. 
The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are 
returned to accrual status when all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are 
reasonably assured.  

Allowance for Loan Losses on Non-covered loans  

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged 
to  earnings.  Loan  losses  are  charged  against  the  allowance  when  management  believes  the  uncollectability  of  a  loan  balance  is 
confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.  

The allowance is an amount that management believes is appropriate to absorb estimated losses relating to specifically identified 
loans,  as well as  probable  credit  losses  inherent  in  the  balance  of  the  loan portfolio,  based on  an  evaluation  of  the  collectability  of 
existing loans and prior loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume 
of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the 
borrower’s ability to pay. This evaluation does not include the effects of expected losses on specific loans or groups of loans that are 
related to future events or expected changes in economic conditions. While management uses the best information available to make 
its  evaluation,  future  adjustments  to  the  allowance  may  be  necessary  if  there  are  significant  changes  in  economic  conditions.  In 
addition,  regulatory  agencies,  as  an  integral  part  of  their  examination  process,  periodically  review  the  Bank’s  allowance  for  loan 
losses, and may require the Bank to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at 
the time of their examinations.  

57 

 
 
  
COMMUNITY BANKERS TRUST CORPORATION 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued) 

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

In the third quarter of 2010, the Company refined the factors used to calculate the FASB ASC 450, Contingencies, component 
of the allowance for loan loss to include more quantifiable information supported by current economic data.   The analysis consists of 
these  components:    a)  linear  regression  analysis  of  historical  loss  data  provided  by  the  FDIC,  b)  historical  losses  for  the  Company 
since  inception  on  May  31,  2008,  c)  risk  grade  migrations  and  delinquency  migrations  of  the  loan  portfolio,  and  d)  an  unallocated 
component to capture management’s view of the overall impact of those factors discussed in the above paragraph. This revision had 
an impact of a decrease to the amount of allowance for loan losses on non-covered loans of approximately $500,000.  

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  2011,  the  Company  further  refined  the  historical  losses  factor  used  to  calculate  the  FASB  ASC  450, 
Contingencies, component of the allowance for loan losses.  Management has performed an assessment of all significant construction 
and land development loans remaining in the pool. The Company adjusted the historical losses factor to accommodate for changes in 
the  Company’s  underwriting  standards  related  to  the  construction  and  land  development  portfolio  as  well  as  unusual  events  that 
occurred,  such  as  fraud.    The  Company  has  adjusted  the  factor  for  significant  charge-offs  on  loans  made  prior  to  the  underwriting 
standard  changes,  as  they  do  not  reflect  the  risk  present  in  the  current  portfolio.  In  addition,  the  Company  adopted  an  additional 
environmental  factor  related  to  increased  credit  risk  in  the  home  equity  lines  of  credit  pool.  These  revisions  had  an  impact  of  a 
decrease to the amount of allowance for loan losses on non-covered loans of approximately $1.5 million.   

A  loan  is  considered  impaired  when,  based  on  current  information  and  events,  it  is  probable  that  the  Bank  will  be  unable  to 
collect  the  scheduled  payments  of principal  or  interest  when due  according  to  the  contractual  terms  of  the  loan  agreement.  Factors 
considered  by  management  in  determining  impairment  include  payment  status,  collateral  value,  and  the  probability  of  collecting 
scheduled  principal  and  interest  payments  when  due.  Loans  that  experience  insignificant  payment  delays  and  payment  shortfalls 
generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-
by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the 
delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and 
interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of the 
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the 
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not 

separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.  

Allowance for Loan Losses on Covered Loans  

The  covered  loans  acquired are  subject  to credit  review  standards described  above for non-covered  loans. If  and when  credit 
deterioration occurs subsequent to the acquisition date, a provision for credit loss for covered loans will be charged to earnings for the 
full amount without regard to the FDIC shared-loss agreements. The Company makes an estimate of the total cash flows it expects to 
collect from a pool of covered loans, which includes undiscounted expected principal and interest. Over the life of the loan or pool, the 
Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. Subsequent decreases in cash flows expected to be collected over 
the  life  of  the  pool  are  recognized  as  impairment  in  the  current  period  through  allowance  for  loan  loss.  Subsequent  increases  in 
expected or actual cash flows are first used to reverse any existing valuation allowance for that loan or pool. Any remaining increase 
in cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an adjustment to the yield over the remaining life of the pool.  

Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer  

FASB  ASC  310,  Receivables  requires  acquired  loans  to  be  recorded  at  fair  value  and  prohibits  carrying  over  valuation 
allowances in the initial accounting for acquired impaired loans. Loans carried at fair value, mortgage loans held for sale, and loans to 
borrowers in good standing under revolving credit arrangements are excluded from the scope of FASB ASC 310 which limits the yield 
that  may  be  accreted  to  the  excess  of  the  undiscounted  expected  cash  flows  over  the  investor’s  initial  investment  in  the  loan.  The 
excess of the contractual cash flows over expected cash flows may not be recognized as an adjustment of yield. Subsequent increases 
in cash flows to be collected are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases 
in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments through allowance for loan losses.  

The  Company’s  acquired  loans  from  the  SFSB  acquisition  (the  “covered  loans”),  subject  to  FASB ASC  Topic 805, Business 
Combinations  (formerly  SFAS  141(R)),  are  recorded  at  fair  value  and  no  separate  valuation  allowance  was  recorded  at  the  date  of 
acquisition. FASB ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (formerly SOP 03-3), applies 

58

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued) 

to loans acquired in a transfer with evidence of deterioration of credit quality for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor 
will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. The Company is applying the provisions of FASB ASC 310-
30  to  all  loans  acquired  in  the  SFSB  acquisition.  The  Company  has  grouped  loans  together  based  on  common  risk  characteristics 
including product type, delinquency status and loan documentation requirements among others.  

The  Company  has  made  an  estimate  of  the  total  cash  flows  it  expects  to  collect  from  each  pool  of  loans,  which  includes 
undiscounted  expected  principal  and  interest.  The  excess  of  that  amount  over  the  fair  value  of  the  pool  is  referred  to  as  accretable 
yield.  Accretable  yield  is  recognized  as  interest  income  on  a  constant  yield  basis  over  the  life  of  the  pool.  The  Company  also 
determines each pool’s contractual principal and contractual interest payments. The excess of that amount over the total cash flows it 
expects to collect from the pool is referred to as nonaccretable difference, which is not accreted into income. Judgmental prepayment 
assumptions are applied to both contractually required payments and cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition. Over the life 
of  the  loan  or  pool,  the  Company  continues  to  estimate  cash  flows  expected  to  be  collected.  Subsequent  decreases  in  cash  flows 
expected to be collected over the life of the pool are recognized as an impairment in the current period through allowance for loan 
loss. Subsequent increases in expected or actual cash flows are first used to reverse any existing valuation allowance for that loan or 
pool. Any remaining increase in cash flows expected to be collected is recognized as an adjustment to the accretable yield with the 
amount of periodic accretion adjusted over the remaining life of the pool.  

Bank Premises and Equipment  

Bank  premises  and  equipment  are  stated  at cost  less  accumulated  depreciation.  Land  is  carried  at  cost.  Depreciation  of  bank 
premises and equipment is computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 10 to 50 years for premises and 3 to 
20 years for equipment, furniture and fixtures.  

Costs  of  maintenance  and  repairs  are  charged  to  expense  as  incurred  and  major  improvements  are  capitalized.  Upon  sale  or 
retirement of depreciable properties, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting 
gain or loss is included in the determination of income.  

Other Real Estate Owned  

Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure is held for sale and is initially recorded at the fair value at the date of 
foreclosure  net  of  estimated  selling  costs,  establishing  a  new  cost  basis.  Subsequent  to  foreclosure,  valuations  are  periodically 
performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. Revenues 
and  expenses  from  operations  and  changes  in  the  valuation  allowance  are  included  in  other  operating  expenses.  Costs  to  bring  a 
property to salable condition are capitalized up to the fair value of the property while costs to maintain a property in salable condition 
are expensed as incurred. The Company had $10.3 million and $5.9 million in other real estate, non-covered at December 31, 2011 
and 2010, respectively, and $5.8 million and $9.9 million in other real estate, covered at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  

Goodwill and Other Intangibles  

FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations 
after June 30, 2001. With purchase acquisitions, the Company is required to record assets acquired, including any intangible assets, 
and liabilities assumed at fair value, which involves relying on estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal 
valuations based on discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation methods. The Company records goodwill per FASB ASC 350, 
Intangibles-Goodwill  and  Others.  Accordingly,  goodwill  is  no  longer  subject  to  amortization  over  its  estimated  useful  life,  but  is 
subject  to  at  least  an  annual  assessment  for  impairment  by  applying  a  fair  value-based  test.  Additionally,  under  FASB  ASC  350, 
acquired  intangible  assets  (such  as  core  deposit  intangibles)  are  separately  recognized  if  the  benefit  of  the  assets  can  be  sold, 
transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, and amortized over their useful lives. FASB ASC 350 discontinues any amortization of 
goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives, but requires an impairment review at least annually or more often if certain 
conditions exist. The Company followed FASB ASC 350 and determined that any core deposit intangibles will be amortized over the 
estimated useful life.  Core deposit intangible are evaluated for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 350. 

Advertising Costs  

The Company follows the policy of expensing advertising costs as incurred, which totaled $329,000, $345,000, and $494,000 

for 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Income Taxes  

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the 
net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of 
the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.  

When  tax  returns  are  filed,  it  is  highly  certain  that  some  positions  taken  would  be  sustained  upon  examination  by  the  taxing 
authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be 
ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all 
available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the 
resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions 
that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent 
likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions 
taken  that  exceeds  the  amount  measured  as  described  above  is  reflected  as  a  liability  for  unrecognized  tax  benefits  in  the 
accompanying  balance  sheet  along  with  any  associated  interest  and  penalties  that  would  be  payable  to  the  taxing  authorities  upon 
examination.    Interest  and  penalties  associated  with  unrecognized  tax  benefits  are  classified  as  additional  income  taxes  in  the 
statement of income. Under FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that 
some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In management’s opinion, based on a three year taxable income projection, 
tax strategies which would result in potential securities gains and the effects of off-setting deferred tax liabilities, it is more likely than 
not  that  the  deferred  tax  assets  are  realizable.  Included  in  deferred  tax  assets  are  the  tax  benefits  derived  from  net  operating  loss 
carryforwards totaling $3.8 million. Management expects to utilize all of these carryforward amounts prior to expiration.  

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U. S. federal income tax as well as various state income taxes. All years from 

2008 through 2011 are open to examination by the respective tax authorities.  

Earnings Per Share  

Basic  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  is  computed  based  on  the  weighted  average  number  of  shares  outstanding  and  excludes  any 
dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted EPS is computed in a manner similar to basic EPS, except for 
certain adjustments to the numerator and the denominator. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were 
outstanding at the end of the period. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock 
options and warrants and are determined using the treasury stock method. The Company declared and paid $442,000 and $800,000 in 
dividends on preferred stock in 2010 and 2009, respectively.  

Stock-Based Compensation  

Prior to the Company’s mergers with BOE and TFC, both of these entities had stock-based compensation plans. In April 2009, 
the  Company  adopted  the  Community  Bankers  Trust  Corporation  2009  Stock  Incentive  Plan  which  is  authorized  to  issue  up  to 
2,650,000 shares of common stock. See Note 14 for details regarding these plans.  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements  

In  April  2011,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  (ASU)  2011-02, 
Receivables  (Topic  310):  A  Creditor’s  Determination  of  Whether  a  Restructuring  Is  a  Troubled  Debt  Restructuring.  The  FASB 
believes the guidance in this ASU will improve financial reporting by creating greater consistency in the way GAAP is applied for 
various types of debt restructurings. The ASU clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. It is intended 
to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt 
restructuring,  both  for  purposes  of  recording  an  impairment  loss  and  for  disclosure  of  troubled  debt  restructurings.  In  evaluating 
whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist: 
(a) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendments to Topic 310 
clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial 
difficulties.  The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively 
to  restructurings  occurring  on  or  after  the  beginning  of  the  fiscal  year  of  adoption.      The  Company  adopted  this  guidance  with  no 
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.   

In  May  2011,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2011-04,  Fair  Value  Measurement  (Topic  820):  Amendments  to  Achieve  Common 
Fair  Value  Measurement  and  Disclosure  Requirements  in  U.S.  GAAP  and  IFRS.  This  ASU  provides  common  requirements  for 
measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term “fair 
value”  for  both  US  GAAP  and  IFRS  (International  Financial  Reporting  Standards)  regulations.    The  Boards  have  concluded  the 
60 

 
 
  
 
COMMUNITY BANKERS TRUST CORPORATION 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued) 

common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements 
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  The amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after 
December  15,  2011  and  are  to  be  applied  prospectively.    The  Company  does  not  expect  the  adoption  of  this  guidance  to  have  a 
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.   

In  June  2011,  the  FASB  has  issued  ASU  No.  2011-05,  Comprehensive  Income  (Topic  220):  Presentation  of  Comprehensive 
Income.  The ASU eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ 
equity and requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income.  The amendments are 
effective  for  fiscal  years,  and  interim  periods  within  those  years,  beginning  after  December  15,  2011  and  are  to  be  applied 
retrospectively.    In  December  2011,  the  topic  was  further  amended  to  defer  the  effective  date  of  presenting  reclassification 
adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements.  Companies should continue to 
report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect prior to 
this  ASU  while  FASB  redeliberates  future  requirements.  The  Company  does  not  expect  the  adoption  of  this  guidance  to  have  a 
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.   

Business Combinations and Acquisitions  

On January 30, 2009, the Bank acquired substantially all assets and assumed all deposit and certain other liabilities relating to 
seven former branch offices of SFSB. The transaction was consummated pursuant to a Purchase and Assumption Agreement, dated 
January 30, 2009, by and among the FDIC, as Receiver for SFSB and the Bank. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Assumption 
Agreement,  the  Bank  assumed  approximately  $303 million  in  deposits,  all  of which were  deemed  to be  core deposits  and  maintain 
their  current  insurance  coverage.  The  Bank  also  acquired  approximately  $362 million  in  loans  (based  on  contract  value)  and  other 
assets and agreed to provide loan servicing to SFSB’s existing loan customers. The Bank bid a negative $45 million for the net assets 
acquired. The Bank has entered into shared-loss agreements with the FDIC with respect to certain assets acquired. These are referred 
to as covered assets. Refer to Notes 4 and 5 for further discussion on covered loans and the FDIC shared-loss agreements. In relation 
to  this  acquisition,  the  Company  followed  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting  as  outlined  in  FASB  ASC  805,  Business 
Combinations. Management relied on external analyses by appraisers in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed.  

Use of Estimates  

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of 
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date 
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ 
from  those  estimates.  Management  estimates  that  are  particularly  susceptible  to  significant  change  in  the  near  term  relate  to  the 
determination  of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses,  the  valuation  of  other  real  estate  owned,  projected  cash  flows  relating  to  certain 
acquired loans, the value of the indemnification asset, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.  

Reclassifications  

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current year presentations.

Included  in  other  U.S.  Government  agencies  are  U.S.  Government  sponsored  agency  securities  of  $1.0  million  with  an 
amortized cost of $1.0 million as of December 31, 2011 and $5.8 million with an amortized cost of $5.8 million as of December 31, 
2010. U.S. Government sponsored agency securities included in mortgage backed securities available for sale totaled $83.5 million 
with  an  amortized  cost  of  $83.0  million  as  of  December  31,  2011  and  $3.9  million  with  an  amortized  cost  of  $4.0  million  as  of 
December 31, 2010.  U.S. Government sponsored agency securities included in mortgage backed securities held to maturity totaled 
$39.5 million with a fair value of $41.5 million as of December 31, 2011 and $54.3 million with a fair value of $57.0 million  as of 
December 31, 2010.  

In  estimating  other  than  temporary  impairment  (“OTTI”)  losses,  management  considers  the  length  of  time  and  the  extent  to 
which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and short-term prospects for the issuer, and the intent and ability of 
management to hold its investment for a period of time to allow a recovery in fair value. At September 30, 2010, financial institution 
securities held at the time were deemed to have impairment losses that were other than temporary in nature in the amount of $459,000, 
as management did not intend to hold them until they recover their value. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there 
were no investments held that had other than temporary impairment losses.

The  unrealized  losses  (impairments)  in  the  investment  portfolio  as  of  December 31,  2011  and  2010  are  generally  a  result  of 
market fluctuations that occur daily. The unrealized losses are from 26 securities that are all of investment grade, backed by insurance, 
U.S. government  agency guarantees, or  the full  faith  and credit of  local municipalities  throughout  the  United  States.  The  Company 
considers the reason for impairment, length of impairment and ability to hold until the full value is recovered in determining if the 
impairment is temporary in nature.  Based on this analysis, the Company has determined these impairments to be temporary in nature. 
The Company does not intend to sell and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities until 
they recover in value.  

Market prices are affected by conditions beyond the control of the Company. Investment decisions are made by the management 
group of the Company and reflect the overall liquidity and strategic asset/liability objectives of the Company. Management analyzes 
the securities portfolio frequently and manages the portfolio to provide an overall positive impact to the Company’s income statement 
and balance sheet.  

The  amortized  cost  and  fair  value  of  securities  as  of  December 31,  2011  by  contractual  maturity  are  shown  below.  Expected 
maturities  may  differ  from  contractual  maturities  because  issuers  may  have  the  right  to  call  or  prepay  obligations  without  any 
penalties.

At  December  31,  2011,  the  Company  held  $36.5  million  in  purchased  government-guaranteed  loans  of  the  United  States 
Department of Agriculture (USDA), which are included in various categories in the table above.  As these loans are 100% guaranteed 
by  the  USDA,  no  loan  loss  provision  is  required.    These  loan  balances  include  an  unamortized  purchase  premium  of  $3.6  million, 
which is recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.   

At  December 31,  2011  and  2010,  the  Company’s  allowance  for  credit  losses  is  comprised  of  the  following:  (i) any  specific 
valuation  allowances  calculated  in  accordance  with  FASB  ASC  310,  Receivables,  (ii) general  valuation  allowances  calculated  in 
accordance with FASB ASC 450, Contingencies, based on economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors, and (iii) historical 
valuation  allowances  calculated  using  historical  loan  loss  experience  of  the  former  banks.  Management  identified  loans  subject  to 
impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 310.  

At  December  31,  2011  and  2010,  a  portion  of  the  construction  and  land  development  loans  presented  above  contain  interest 
reserve  provisions.      The  Company  follows  standard  industry  practice  to  include  interest  reserves  and  capitalized  interest  in  a 
construction loan.  This practice recognizes interest as an additional cost of the project and, as a result, requires the borrower to put

additional  equity  into  the  project.  In  order  to  monitor  the  project  throughout  its  life  to  make  sure  the  property  is  moving  along  as 
planned to ensure appropriateness of continuing to capitalize interest, the Company coordinates an independent property inspection in 
connection with each disbursement of loan funds.  Until completion, there is generally no cash flow from which to make the interest 
payment.  The Company does not advance additional interest reserves to keep a loan from becoming nonperforming.   

The total amount of interest reserves recognized as interest income on construction loans with interest reserves, all of which was 
capitalized interest recorded in the Company’s loan portfolio, was $100,000 and $584,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 
2010, respectively. Two loans totaling $4.9 million were nonperforming at December 31, 2011. There were no construction loans with 
interest reserves that were nonperforming at December 31, 2010. 

 Average  investment  in  impaired  loans  was  $44.5  million  and  $47.9  million  as  of  December  31,  2011  and  2010,  respectively. 
Interest income on nonaccrual loans, if recognized, is recorded using the cash basis method of accounting.  Cash basis income in the 
amount of $168,000 was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2011.  There were no significant amounts recognized during 
the year ended December 31, 2010.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, estimated interest income of $1.8 million and 
$2.9 million, respectively, would have been recorded if all such loans had been accruing interest according to their original contractual 
terms.

(1)  The category “Individually Evaluated for Impairment” includes loans individually evaluated for impairment and determined 
not to be impaired.  These loans total $19.6 million and $64.2 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The allowance 
for loans losses allocated to these loans is $1.4 million and $5.2 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  

Non-covered loans are monitored for credit quality on a recurring basis.  These credit quality indicators are defined as follows: 

Pass -  A pass loan is not adversely classified, as it does not display any of the characteristics for adverse classification. This category 
includes purchased loans that are 100% guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies of $36.5 million at December 31, 2011. 

Special Mention -  A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, 
such potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or collateral position at some future date.  Special 
mention loans are not adversely classified and do not warrant adverse classification.   

Substandard -  A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the 
collateral pledged, if any.  Loans classified as substandard generally have a well defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the 
liquidation of the debt.   These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.   

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

          In  the  determination  of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses,  management  considers  troubled  debt  restructurings  and  subsequent 
defaults  in  these  restructurings  by  reviewing  these  loans  for  impairment  in  accordance  with  FASB  ASC  310-10-35,  Receivables, 
Subsequent Measurement. 

          At December  31, 2011,  the  Company  had 1-4 family  mortgages in  the  amount of  $159.5  million pledged  as  collateral  to  the 
FHLB for a total borrowing capacity of $102.9 million.

Note 4. Covered Loans  

The Company is applying the provisions of FASB ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit 
Quality,  to  all  loans  acquired  in  the  SFSB  acquisition  (the  “covered  loans”).    Of  the  total  $198.3  million  in  loans  acquired,  $49.1 
million met the criteria of FASB ASC 310-30.   These loans, consisting mainly of construction loans, were deemed impaired at the 
acquisition date.  The remaining $149.1 million of loans acquired, comprised mainly of residential 1-4 family, was analogized to meet 
the  criteria  of  FASB  ASC  310-30.    Analysis  of  this  portfolio  revealed  that  SFSB  utilized  weak  underwriting  and  documentation 
standards, which led the Company to believe that significant losses were probable given the economic environment at that time.   

As  of  December 31,  2011  and  2010,  the  outstanding  balance  of  the  covered  loans  is  $160.0  million  and  $191.4  million, 

respectively. The carrying amount as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

The covered loans were not classified as nonperforming assets at December 31, 2011 and 2010 as the loans are accounted for on 
a pooled basis, and interest income, through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the loans and the expected 
cash flows, is being recognized on all purchased loans. As of December 31, 2011, there was an allowance for loan losses recorded on 
covered loans of $776,000. This allowance is the result of a change in the timing of expected cash flows for two of the covered loan 
pools.  

At December 31, 2010, the acquisition, construction and development (ADC) pool originally purchased from the FDIC in 2009 
had a carrying value of $410,000 in accordance with FASB ASC 310-30.  The amount and timing of future cash flows on the ADC 
pool, based on an analysis of the loans in the pool, were determined to be not reasonably estimatable. As a result, during the quarter 
ended March 31, 2011, management applied the cost recovery method to the ADC loan pool, which requires that all cash payments 
first be applied to principal. During the first quarter of 2011, sufficient cash payments were received on the ADC pool to lower the 
carrying value to $0, with excess payments being applied to interest income.  Any subsequent payments will now be recognized as 
interest income.

Note 5. FDIC Agreements and FDIC Indemnification Asset  

On  January 30,  2009,  the  Company  entered  into  a  Purchase  and  Assumption  Agreement  with  the  FDIC  to  assume  all  of  the 
deposits  and  certain  other  liabilities  and  acquire  substantially  all  assets  of  SFSB. Under  the  shared-loss  agreements,  the  FDIC  will 
reimburse the Bank for 80% of losses arising from covered loans and foreclosed real estate assets, on the first $118 million in losses 
on  such  covered  loans  and  foreclosed  real  estate  assets,  and  for  95%  of  losses  on  covered  loans  and  foreclosed  real  estate  assets 
thereafter. Under the shared-loss agreements, a “loss” on a covered loan or foreclosed real estate is defined generally as a realized loss 
incurred  through  a  permitted  disposition,  foreclosure,  short-sale  or  restructuring  of  the  covered  loan  or  foreclosed  real  estate.  The 
reimbursements for losses on single family one-to-four residential mortgage loans are to be made quarterly until the end of the quarter 
in which the tenth anniversary of the closing of the transaction occurs, and the reimbursements for losses on other covered assets are 
to be made quarterly until the end of the quarter in which the eighth anniversary of the closing of the transaction occurs. Prior to the 
third  quarter  of  2011,  reimbursements  for  losses  on  single  family  one-to-four  mortgage  loans were made  monthly.  The  shared-loss 
agreements  provide  for  indemnification  from  the  first  dollar  of  losses  without  any  threshold  requirement.  The  reimbursable  losses 
from the FDIC are based on the book value of the relevant loan as determined by the FDIC at the date of the transaction, January 30, 
2009. New loans made after that date are not covered by the shared-loss agreements. The fair value of this loss sharing agreement is 
detailed below.  

The Company is accounting for the shared-loss agreements as an indemnification asset pursuant to the guidance in FASB ASC 
805. The FDIC indemnification asset is required to be measured in the same manner as the asset or liability to which it relates. The 
FDIC  indemnification  asset  is  measured  separately  from  the  covered  loans  and  other  real  estate  owned  assets  because  it  is  not 
contractually embedded in the covered loan and other real estate owned assets and is not transferable should the Company choose to 
dispose  of  them.  Fair  value  was  estimated  using  projected  cash  flows  available  for  loss  sharing  based  on  the  credit  adjustments 
estimated for each loan pool and other real estate owned and the loss sharing percentages outlined in the Purchase and Assumption 
Agreement with the FDIC. These cash flows were discounted to reflect the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the loss sharing 
reimbursement from the FDIC.  

Because the acquired loans are subject to a FDIC loss sharing agreement and a corresponding indemnification asset exists to 
represent  the  value  of  expected  payments  from  the  FDIC,  increases  and  decreases  in  loan  accretable  yield  due  to  changing  loss 
expectations  will  also  have  an  impact  to  the  valuation  of  the  FDIC  indemnification  asset.  Improvement  in  loss  expectations  will 
typically increase loan accretable yield and decrease the value of the FDIC indemnification asset, and in some instances, result in an 
amortizable premium on the FDIC indemnification asset. Increases in loss expectations will typically be recognized as impairment in 
the current period through allowance for loan losses while resulting in additional non-interest income for the amount of the increase in 
the FDIC indemnification asset.  

In addition to the premium amortization, the balance of the FDIC indemnification asset is affected by expected payments from 
the FDIC.  Under the terms of the shared-loss agreements, the FDIC will reimburse the Company for loss events incurred related to 
the covered loan portfolio.  These events include such things as future writedowns due to decreases in the fair market value of other 
real estate owned (OREO),  net loan charge-offs and recoveries, and net gains and losses on OREO sales.

Note 7. Mergers and Acquisitions  

On January 30, 2009, the Bank acquired substantially all assets and assumed all deposit and certain other liabilities relating to 
seven  former  branch  offices  of  Suburban  Federal  Savings  Bank  (SFSB),  Crofton,  Maryland.  The  transaction  was  consummated 
pursuant to a Purchase and Assumption Agreement, dated January 30, 2009, by and among the FDIC, as Receiver for SFSB and the 
Bank.  

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, the Bank assumed approximately $303 million in deposits, 
all of which were deemed to be core deposits and maintain their current insurance coverage. The Bank also acquired approximately 
$362 million in loans (based on contract value) and other assets. The Bank bid a negative $45 million for the net assets acquired.  

The Bank has entered into shared-loss agreements with the FDIC with respect to certain covered assets acquired. See Notes 4 

and 5 for additional information related to certain assets covered under the FDIC shared-loss agreements.  

In  relation  to  this  acquisition,  the  Company  followed  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting  as  outlined  in  FASB  ASC  805. 
Management  relied  on  external  analyses  by  appraisers  in  determining  the  fair  value  of  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed.  The 
following table provides the allocation of the negative bid in the financial statements, based on those analyses (dollars in thousands):

As a result of the acquisition of the operations of SFSB, the Company recorded a gain of $20.3 million in the first quarter of 

2009 represented by net assets acquired, pre-tax.  

The Company engaged two external firms to assess credit quality and fair market value of the loan portfolio. An external firm 
reviewed the entire portfolio and classified each of the loans into several homogenous pools of credit risk and levels of impairment. 
An  external  firm  specializing  in  fair  market  valuations  then  used  the  credit  review  results  to  determine  the  current  fair  market  as 
defined  in  FASB  ASC  820,  Fair  Value  Measurements  and  Disclosures.  The  fair  value  assessment  was  based  on  several  measures,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued) 

including asset quality, contractual interest rates, current market interest rates, and other underlying factors and the analysis divided 
the portfolio into the following segments:  

•    Acquisition, development, and construction loans 
•    Residential first mortgage loans  
•    Consumer real estate loans  
•    Commercial real estate loans  
The following three general approaches were used in the valuation analyses – the asset-based approach, the market approach, 

and the income approach.  

Certificate of deposits (CDs) and the core deposit intangible (premium paid to acquire the core deposits of SFSB) were marked 
to market using a third-party analysis of cash flow, interest rate, maturity dates or weighted average life, balances, attrition rates, and 
current market rates.  

The Company reviewed certain contracts between SFSB and its vendors in order to identify any efficiencies from the merger 
through  contract  cancellation.  The  costs of cancelling  certain  contracts were not  material  enough  to change  the  amount  of  the  gain 
recorded.  

Supplemental pro forma information reflecting the revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period 
as though the acquisition date for the business combination had occurred at the beginning of the annual reporting period, and similar 
comparative information for the prior year, has not been disclosed. Management has determined that it is impracticable to provide this 
information due to a lack of reliability of financial information produced by SFSB prior to the acquisition and the costs that would be 
incurred to reproduce the information with an appropriate level of reliability.  

Note 8. Goodwill and Other Intangibles  

The  Company  follows  FASB  ASC  350,  Intangibles  – Goodwill  and  Other,  which prescribes  the  accounting  for goodwill  and 
intangible  assets  subsequent  to  initial  recognition.  Provisions  within  FASB  ASC 350 discontinue  any  amortization  of  goodwill  and 
intangible assets with indefinite lives, and require at least an annual impairment review or more often if certain impairment conditions 
exist. With the TFC and BOE mergers consummated May 31, 2008, there were significant amounts of goodwill and other intangible 
assets recorded. Goodwill was initially assessed for potential impairment as of May 31, 2009, the anniversary date of the mergers, and 
again in December 2009, in order to coincide the assessment with the Company’s fiscal year end, both resulting in impairment charges 
totaling  $31.9  million.  Economic  conditions,  evidenced  by  the  significant  loan  loss  provision  taken  during  the  second  quarter, 
warranted an impairment evaluation of goodwill that resulted in $5.7 million in impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 
2010.  

Since the mergers in 2008, there has been further decline in economic conditions, which has significantly affected the banking 
sector  and  the  Company’s  financial  condition  and  results.  The  Company’s  average  closing  stock  price  by  fiscal  quarter  since  the 
merger was as follows:  

1st Quarter  
2nd Quarter  
3rd Quarter  
4th Quarter

The initial step in identifying potential impairment involves comparing the current fair value of the reporting unit to its recorded 
or carrying amount. If the carrying value exceeds such fair value, there is possible impairment. Next, a second step is performed to 
determine the amount of the impairment, if any. This step requires a determination of the implied fair value of goodwill based upon 
the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of its assets, liabilities, and identifiable intangible assets. If the carrying amount of 
goodwill  exceeds  the  implied  fair  value  of  goodwill,  an  impairment  charge  must  be  recorded  in  an  amount  equal  to  the  excess. 
Management retained a business valuation expert to assist in determining the level and extent to which goodwill was impaired. The 
Company  determined  that  goodwill  was  impaired  as  of  May 31,  2009  and  again  as  of  December 31,  2009  and  June  30,  2010  and 
impairment charges of $24.5 million, $7.4 million and $5.7 million were recorded as of the respective dates. Because the acquisitions 
were considered tax-free exchanges, the goodwill impairment charge cannot be deducted for tax purposes, and as such, an income tax 
benefit cannot be recorded. Due to this tax treatment, the goodwill impairment charge will be reflected as a permanent difference in 
the deferred tax calculation.

COMMUNITY BANKERS TRUST CORPORATION 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued) 

In determining the goodwill impairment charge, the reporting unit was defined as “Community Bankers Trust Corporation,” as 
the  Company  has  determined  that  it  has  no  reportable  segments  or  “components”  of  a  segment,  as  defined  in  FASB  ASC  350, 
Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.  

In  the  May 31,  2009  valuation,  the  Company  used  and  weighted  two  valuation  methods  in  determining  the  fair  value  of  the 
reporting unit – the guideline transaction method and the discounted cash flow method. The guideline transaction method uses actual 
change-of-control  transactions  involving  entities  similar  to  the  reporting  unit.  These  transactions  consist  of  merger  and  acquisition 
transactions involving financial institutions, and the Company derived the fair value of the reporting unit based on the price/tangible 
book  value  multiples  and  core  deposit  premiums  reported  in  these  transactions.  The  Company  used  this  method  as  it  reflects  the 
guidance  in  FASB  ASC  350  that  fair  value  refers  to  “the  price  that  would  be  received  to  sell  the  unit  as  a  whole  in  an  orderly 
transaction between market participants at the valuation date” (FASB ASC 350-20-35-22; formerly SFAS 142, paragraph 23).  

The discounted cash flow analysis relies upon a projection of future cash flows, the present value of which represents the value 
of  the  reporting  unit.  Management  supplied  projections  of  the  reporting  unit’s  future  balance  sheets  and  income  statements,  which 
were used in the analysis. Under the discounted cash flow method, the value of the reporting unit is the sum of the distributable cash 
flows generated by the reporting unit and a terminal value at the end of the projection period representing the value of all future cash 
flows. The Company used the discounted cash flow method because market participants commonly use discounted cash flow analyses 
in  acquisitions  of  financial  institutions,  as  the  value  of  an  enterprise  is  equal  to  its  future  cash  flows.  In  addition,  FASB  ASC  820 
describes the use of discounted cash flow techniques for fair value measurements (see FASB ASC 820-10-55-4 to FASB ASC 820-10-
55-20).  

In  the  December 31,  2009  and  June  30,  2010  valuations,  the  Company  again  used  and  weighted  the  guideline  transaction 
method and the discounted cash flow method in determining the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company also used an additional 
method, the transaction value method. The transaction value method relies upon the market capitalization of the Company’s common 
stock as of December 31, 2009, plus a control premium to derive the value of a controlling interest in the reporting unit. The use of a 
control  premium  is  consistent  with  FASB  ASC  350,  which  notes  that  the  market  capitalization  of  a  company  may  not  necessarily 
represent the fair value of the reporting unit (FASB ASC 350-20-35-22).  

The Company then compared the conclusion of value indicated by the preceding valuation methods to the Company’s market 

capitalization and the valuation multiples for a group of comparable publicly traded banks to the Company.  

May 31, 2009 Valuation  

In determining a conclusion of value for the reporting unit, the guideline transactions method received two-thirds of the total 
weight (split equally between the indications of value based on tangible book value and core deposits), and the discounted cash flow 
method received one-third of the total weighting. This weighting methodology reflects that actual transactions involving enterprises 
with similar characteristics to the subject reporting unit provide the most meaningful indication of value. The Company weighted the 
discounted cash flow method as it is commonly employed in the financial services industry and represents a value based on the future 
cash flows generated by the reporting unit.  

The material assumptions used and the sensitivity in them for the two valuation methods used are as follows:  
•    The guideline transactions method derives the fair value of the reporting unit using (a) the reporting unit’s tangible book 
value  and  core  deposits  at  May 31,  2009  and  (b) multiples  of  tangible  book  value  and  core  deposits  derived  from
marketplace  transactions,  as  reported  by  SNL  Financial.  The  multiples  were  derived  from  two  groups  of  transactions  –
(a) transactions announced between June 1, 2008 and May 31, 2009 involving banks located nationwide with assets greater
than  $250  million  and  (b) transactions  announced  between  June 1,  2008  and  May 31,  2009  involving  banks  and  thrifts 
located in the Mid-Atlantic region. A change in the price/tangible book value multiple by 10% would affect the value by a
like amount. A change in the core deposit premium by 10% would affect the value by approximately 2%. 

•    The discounted cash flow method relies upon a projection of the reporting unit’s future financial performance, including
assumptions as to its future balance sheet growth, asset composition, funding mix, asset quality, capital levels, net interest 
income,  non-interest  income,  non-interest  expenses,  loan  loss  provision,  income  taxes,  and  distributable  cash  flows.  In
addition, the discounted cash flow method requires a terminal value, which reflects the value of the reporting unit after the
end  of  the  finite  forecast  period.  The  terminal  value  is  a  function  of  the  reporting  unit’s  projected  2013  net  income  and
tangible book value, and multiples of net income and tangible book value. The Company then discounts the projected future
cash  flows  and  terminal  value  to  the  present  at  a  discount  rate  derived  from  marketplace  assumptions  as  to  returns
demanded on equity investments.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued) 

•    Particularly significant assumptions in the discounted cash flow method include (a) the reporting unit’s future net income 

and distributable cash flows, (b) the terminal multiple of earnings or tangible book value, and (c) the discount rate. 

December 31, 2009 Valuation  

In determining a conclusion of value for the reporting unit, the guideline transactions method received 25% of the total weight 
(placed on tangible book value), the transaction value method received 25%, and the discounted cash flow method received 50% of 
the  total  weighting.  This  weighting  methodology  reflected  equal  consideration  of  the  transaction  value  and  guideline  transactions 
methods,  which  are  market  approaches  that  rely  on  transactions  in  the  Company’s  stock  and  comparable  banks  acquired  in  recent 
acquisitions, and the discounted cash flow method, which represents a value based on the future cash flows generated by the reporting 
unit.  Less  weight  was  placed  on  the  guideline  transactions  method  in  the  December  valuation,  as  compared  to  the  May  valuation, 
because fewer comparable transactions occurred in the period preceding the December valuation.  

The material assumptions used and the sensitivity in them for the three valuation methods used are as follows:  
•    The guideline transactions method derives the fair value of the reporting unit using (a) the reporting unit’s tangible book
value at December 31, 2009 and (b) multiples of tangible book value derived from marketplace transactions, as reported by
SNL  Financial.  The  multiples  were  derived  from  two  groups  of  transactions  –  (a) transactions  announced  between
September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2009 involving target banks located nationwide with assets between $250 million
and $5 billion and (b) transactions announced between September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2009 involving target banks
located in the Mid-Atlantic region. A change in the price/tangible book value multiple by 10% would affect the value by
approximately 10%.  

•    The transaction value method derived the fair value of the reporting unit using (a) the Company’s closing price per share at 
December 31, 2009, (b) the number of common shares outstanding, and (c) a control premium. The control premium was 
estimated  based  upon  an  analysis  of  implied  control  premiums  for  bank  transactions  announced  in 2009  and  also over a
longer time period from year-end 2005 through 2009. A change in the control premium applied by 10% would affect the
value by approximately 2%.  

•    The  discounted  cash  flow  method  was  prepared  in  a  manner  consistent  with  the  May 31,  2009  analysis  and  includes
assumptions as to (a) the reporting unit’s future income statements and balance sheets, (b) the terminal multiple of earnings
or tangible book value, and (c) the discount rate. 

June 30, 2010 Valuation 

In determining a conclusion of value for the reporting unit, the guideline transactions method received 25% of the total weight 
(placed  on  tangible  book  value),  the  transaction  value  method  received  25%,  and  the  discounted  cash  flow  method  received  50%.  
This  weighting  methodology  reflected  equal  consideration  of  the  transaction  value  and  guideline  transactions  methods,  which  are 
market  approaches  that  rely on  transactions  in  the  Company’s  stock  and  comparable  banks  acquired in  recent  acquisitions,  and  the 
discounted cash flow method, which represents a value based on the future cash flows generated by the reporting unit.   

     The material assumptions used and the sensitivity in them for the three valuation methods used are as follows: 

•  The guideline transactions method derived the fair value of the reporting unit using (a) the reporting unit’s tangible 
book  value  at  May  31,  2010  and  (b) multiples  of  tangible  book  value  derived  from  marketplace  transactions,  as 
reported  by  SNL  Financial.    The  multiples  were  derived  from  two  groups  of  transactions  –  (a)  transactions 
announced between September 30, 2008 and May 31, 2010 involving target banks located nationwide with assets 
between $250 million and $5 billion and (b) transactions announced between September 30, 2008 and May 31, 2010 
involving target banks located in the Mid-Atlantic region.  A change in the price/tangible book value multiple by 
10% would affect the value by approximately 10%. 

•  The transaction value method derived the fair value of the reporting unit using (a) the Company’s closing price per 
share  at  May  31,  2010,  (b)  the  number  of  common  shares  outstanding,  and  (c)  a  control  premium.    The  control 
premium  was  estimated  based  upon  an  analysis  of  implied  control  premiums  for  bank  transactions  announced  in 
2010  and  also  over  a  longer  time  period  from  year-end  2005  through  2010.    A  change  in  the  control  premium 
applied by 10% would affect the value by approximately 2%. 

•  The discounted cash flow method was prepared in a manner consistent with the May 31, 2009 (as discussed in the 
Company’s  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  for  the  period  ended  December  31,  2009)  analysis  and  includes

assumptions as to (a) the reporting unit’s future income statements and balance sheets, (b) the terminal multiple of 
earnings or tangible book value, and (c) the discount rate. 

Core  deposit  intangible  assets  are  amortized  over  the  period  of  expected  benefit,  ranging  from  2.6  to  9 years.  Core  deposit 
intangibles are recognized, amortized and evaluated for impairment as required by FASB ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. 
Due  to  the  mergers  with  TFC  and  BOE  on  May 31,  2008,  the  Company  recorded  approximately  $15.0 million  in  core  deposit 
intangible  assets.  Core  deposit  intangibles  related  to  the  Georgia  and  Maryland  transactions  equaled  $3.2 million  and  $2.2 million, 
respectively,  and  will  be  amortized  over  approximately  9 years.      The  Company  estimates  it  will  recognize  $2.3  million  of 
amortization expense for each of the next five years.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements  

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

Fair Value Hierarchy  

Under FASB  ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in 
three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine 
fair value. These levels are:  

Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.  

Level 2 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar 
instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable 
in the market.  

Level 3 — Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the 
market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates  of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or 
liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.  

FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent 
measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company has not made any material FASB 
ASC 825 elections as of December 31, 2011.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale  

Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value each reporting period. Fair value measurement is based upon 
quoted  prices,  if  available.  If  quoted  prices  are  not  available,  fair  values  are  measured  using  independent  pricing  models  or  other 
model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment 
assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions.  

The Company utilizes a third party vendor to provide fair value data for purposes of determining the fair value of its securities 
available for sale portfolio. The third party vendor uses a reputable pricing company for security market data. The third party vendor 
has controls and edits in place for month-to month market checks and zero pricing and an AICPA Statement on Auditing Standard 
Number 70 (SAS 70) report is obtained from the third party vendor on an annual basis. The Company makes no adjustments to the 
pricing service data received for its securities available for sale. 

Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities 
that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-
backed  securities  issued  by  government  sponsored  entities,  municipal  bonds  and  corporate  debt  securities.  Securities  classified  as 
Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.  

Loans held for resale 

The carrying amounts of loans held for resale approximate fair value. 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis  

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance 
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were 
recognized  at fair value below  cost  at  the  end of  the period.  The  table below presents  the  recorded amount of  assets  and  liabilities 
measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

The Company does not record unimpaired loans held for investment at fair value each reporting period. However, from time to 
time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of 
interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a 
loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures the impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 310, Receivables. 
The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, 
enterprise value, and liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for 
which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. In accordance with FASB 
ASC  820,  Fair  Value  Measurements  and  Disclosure,  impaired  loans  where  an  allowance  is  established  based  on  the  fair  value  of 
collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. The Bank frequently obtains appraisals prepared by external professional 
appraisers  for  classified  loans  greater  than  $250,000  when  the  most  recent  appraisal  is  greater  than  12  months  old.  The  appraisal, 
based on the date of preparation, becomes only a part of the determination of the amount of any loan write-off, with current market 
conditions  and  the  collateral’s  location  being  other  determinants.  When  the  fair  value  of  the  collateral  is  based  on  an  observable 
market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2.  

The Bank may also identify collateral deterioration based on current market sales data, including price and absorption, as well as 
input from real estate sales professionals and developers, county or city tax assessments, market data and on-site inspections by Bank 
personnel. Internally prepared estimates generally result from current market data and actual sales data related to the Bank’s collateral 
or where the collateral is located. When management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised 
value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3. In instances where an 
appraisal  received  subsequent  to  an  internally  prepared  estimate  reflects  a  higher  collateral  value,  management  does  not  revise  the 
carrying amount.  

Reviews of classified loans are performed by management on a quarterly basis. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, substantially 

all of the impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral.  

Other real estate owned (OREO) – non-covered  

Other  real  estate  owned  (OREO)  –  non-covered  assets  are  adjusted  to  fair  value  upon  transfer  of  the  loans  to  OREO  assets. 
Subsequently,  OREO  assets  are  carried  at  the  lower  of  carrying  value  or  fair  value.  Fair  value  is  based  upon  independent  market 
prices,  appraised  values  of  the  collateral  or  management’s  estimation  of  the  value  of  the  collateral.  When  the  fair  value  of  the 
collateral  is  based  on  an  observable  market  price  or  a  current  appraised  value,  the  Company  records  the  foreclosed  asset  as  a 
nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further 
impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring 
Level 3.

Other real estate owned (OREO) – covered by FDIC shared-loss agreement  

Other real estate owned (OREO), covered by FDIC shared-loss agreement (covered) is adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the 
loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, it is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent 
market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the 
collateral  is  based  on  an  observable  market  price  or  a  current  appraised  value,  the  Company  records  the  OREO  as  a  nonrecurring 
Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below 
the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

The Company has analyzed the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns and concluded it has no liability 

related to uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740.  

The  Company  has  evaluated  the  need  for  a  deferred  tax  valuation  allowance  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2011  in 
accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Based on a three year  income projection of taxable income and tax strategies which 
would result  in  potential  securities  gains  and  the  effects  of off-setting deferred  tax  liabilities,  the  Company  believes  that  it  is  more 
likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable. Therefore, no allowance is required. All years from 2008 through 2011 are 
subject to audit by taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company had $11.1 million, $10.1 million and 
$8.7 million, respectively, of net operating loss carryforwards which expire in 2021 through 2026.  

Allocation of the income tax expense between current and deferred portions is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Note 13. Employee Benefit Plans  

The  Company  adopted  the  Bank  of  Essex  noncontributory,  defined  benefit  pension  plan  for  all  full-time  pre-merger  Bank  of 
Essex  employees  over  21 years  of  age.  Benefits  are  generally  based  upon  years  of  service  and  the  employees’  compensation.  The 
Bank funds pension costs in accordance with the funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.  

The Company has frozen the plan benefits for all the Defined Benefit Plan participants effective December 31, 2010, resulting 

in a curtailment gain included in pension expense of $210,000 in 2010.

Long-Term Rate of Return  

The  plan  sponsor  selects  the  expected  long-term  rate  of  return  on  assets  assumption  in  consultation  with  their  investment 
advisors and actuary. This rate is intended to reflect the average rate of earnings expected to be earned on the funds invested or to be 
invested to provide plan benefits. Historical performance is reviewed, especially with respect to real rates of return (net of inflation), 
for  the  major  asset  classes  held  or  anticipated  to  be  held  by  the  trust,  and  for  the  trust  itself.  Undue  weight  is  not  given  to  recent 
experience that may not continue over the measurement period, with higher significance placed on current forecasts of future long-
term economic conditions.  

Because assets are held in a qualified trust, anticipated returns are not reduced for taxes. Further, solely for this purpose, the plan 
is assumed to continue in force and not terminate during the period during which assets are invested. However, consideration is given 
to the potential impact of current and future investment policy, cash flow into and out of the trust, and expenses (both investment and 
non-investment) typically paid from plan assets (to the extent such expenses are not explicitly estimated within periodic cost).

The  trust  fund  is  sufficiently  diversified  to  maintain  a  reasonable  level  of  risk  without  imprudently  sacrificing  return,  with  a 
targeted  asset  allocation  of  40%  fixed  income  and  60%  equities.  The  investment  manager  selects  investment  fund  managers  with 
demonstrated  experience  and  expertise,  and  funds  with  demonstrated  historical  performance,  for  the  implementation  of  the  plan’s 
investment  strategy.  The  investment  manager  will  consider  both  actively  and  passively  managed  investment  strategies  and  will 
allocate funds across the asset classes to develop an efficient investment structure.  

It is the responsibility of the trustee to administer the investments of the trust within reasonable costs, being careful to avoid 
sacrificing quality. These costs include, but are not limited to, management and custodial fees, consulting fees, transaction costs and 
other administrative costs chargeable to the trust.

contribute up to 100% of compensation, subject to statutory limitations. The Company matched 50% of employee contributions up to 
4% of compensation. The plan also provided for an additional discretionary contribution to be made by the Company as determined 
each  year.  Any  employees  that  started  with  the  Company  after  the  merger,  and  met  the  service  requirements,  were  included  in  the 
BOE 401(k) Plan.  

Under the TFC 401(k) Plan, employees had a contributory 401(k) profit share plan which covered substantially all employees. 
The  employee  could  contribute  up  to  100%  of  compensation,  subject  to  statutory  limitations.  The  Company  matched  100%  of 
employee contributions on the first 3% of compensation, then the Company matched 50% of employee contributions on the next 2% 
of compensation. The plan also provided for additional discretionary contributions to be made by the Company as determined each 
year.  

The Company combined the BOE 401(k) plan and the TFC 401(k) plan into the Essex Bank 401(k) plan effective October 1, 
2010. The employee may contribute up to 100% of compensation, subject to statutory limitations. The Company  matches 100% of 
employee contributions on the first 3% of compensation, then the Company matches 50% of employee contributions on the next 2% 
of compensation. 

The  amounts  charged  to  expense  under  these  plans  for  the  years  ended  December 31,  2011,  2010  and  2009  were  $332,000, 

$489,000, and $510,000, respectively.  

Deferred Compensation Agreements  

The Company has deferred compensation agreements with certain key employees and the Board of Directors. The retirement 
benefits  to  be  provided  are  fixed  based  upon  the  amount  of  compensation  earned  and  deferred.  Deferred  compensation  expense 
amounted to $107,000, $197,000, and $173,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The expense 
associated with these agreements is offset by the increased cash surrender value of life insurance policies on the individuals.  

Note 14. Stock Option Plans  

2009 Stock Option Plan 

In 2009, the Company adopted the Community Bankers Trust Corporation 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan).  The purpose 
of  the  Plan  is  to  further  the  long-term  stability  and  financial  success  of  the  Company  by  attracting  and  retaining  employees  and 
directors  through  the  use  of  stock  incentives  and  other  rights  that  promote  and  recognize  the  financial  success  and  growth  of  the 
Company.    The  Company  believes  that  ownership  of  company  stock  will  stimulate  the  efforts  of  such  employees  and  directors  by 
further aligning their interests with the interest of the Company’s stockholders.  The Plan is to be used to grant restricted stock awards, 
stock options in the form of incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based 
awards to employees and directors of the Company for up to 2,650,000 shares of common stock. No more than 1,500,000 shares may 
be issued in connection with the exercise of incentive stock options.  Annual grants of stock options are limited to 500,000 shares for 
each participant.  

 The exercise price of an incentive stock option cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of 
grant, provided that if the participant owns, directly or indirectly, stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power 
of all classes of stock of the Company, the exercise price of an incentive stock option shall not be less than 110% of the fair market 
value of such shares on the date of grant. The exercise price of nonstatutory stock option awards cannot be less than 100% of the fair 
market value of such shares on the date of grant. The option exercise price may be paid in cash or with shares of common stock, or a 
combination of cash and common stock, if permitted under the participant’s option agreement. The Plan will expire on June 17, 2019, 
unless terminated sooner by the Board of Directors. 

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the “Black Scholes Option Pricing” method with the 

following assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:  

Expected volatility 
Expected dividend      
Expected term (years) 
Risk free rate

COMMUNITY BANKERS TRUST CORPORATION 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued) 

The expected volatility is an estimate of the volatility of the Company’s share price based on historical performance. The risk 
free interest rates for periods within the contractual life of the awards are based on the U. S. Treasury Zero Coupon implied yield at 
the  time  of  the  grant  correlating  to  the  expected  term.  The  expected  term  is  based  on  the  simplified  method  as  provided  by  the 
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No 110 (SAB 110).  In accordance with SAB 110, the Company has 
chosen to use the simplified method, as this is the first plan issued by the Company as Community Bankers Trust Corporation; and 
therefore,  no  historical  exercise  data  exists.    The  dividend  yield  assumption  is  based  on  the  Company  history  and  expectation  of 
dividend payouts over the life of the options at the time of the grant.   

The Company plans to issue new shares of common stock when options are exercised.  

In  May  2010,  the  Company  granted  205,000  options  and  15,000  shares  of  restricted  stock  to  employees,  both  of  which  vest 
ratably over the requisite service period of four years.  In October 2011, the Company granted 50,000 employee options which vested 
100% on December 31, 2011.   

The May 2010 grant of 15,000 restricted shares of common stock was to a senior executive in accordance with the minimum rules 

for long-term equity grants for companies participating in the Department of the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program.  These 
rules require that for each 25% of total financial assistance repaid, 25% of the total restricted stock may become transferrable.  The 
total compensation expense associated with this grant was $42,000 and is being initially amortized over a four year period.   The 
Company recorded approximately $10,000 and $6,000 in 2011 and 2010, respectively related to this equity grant.  See Note 23 for 
further information related to the Company’s participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program. 

The Company had three equity grants during the year ended December 31, 2011 to non-employee directors.  On February 1, 
2011, 39,972 shares were issued with a fair market value of $1.23 per share.  On March 11, 2011, 4,082 shares were issued with a fair 
market value of $1.33 per share and, on June 1, 2011, 115,040 shares were issued with a fair market value of $1.13 per share.  The fair 
market value of these grants was the closing price of the Company’s stock at the grant date.

The  weighted  average  fair  value  per  option  of  options  granted  during  the  year  was  $0.36  and  $0.52  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. There was no total intrinsic value of the options outstanding and exercisable for the year 
ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  

The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $227,000 and $18,000 for the years ended December 31, 
2011  and  2010,  respectively.  Of  the  $227,000  in  expense  that  was  recorded  in  2011,  $44,000  related  to  employee  grants  and  is 
classified as “personnel expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Income; $183,000 related to the director grants and is classified 
as “other operating expenses.” All of the $18,000 in expense that was recorded in 2010 relates to employee grants and is classified as 
“personnel  expense”  on  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Income.      The  unrecognized  compensation  expense  related  to  non-vested 
options and restricted stock was $80,000 at December 31, 2011 and is expected to be ratably expensed through May 2014.

TFC and BOE Stock Option Plans 

Prior to the mergers, both TFC and BOE maintained stock option plans as incentives for certain officers and directors. During 
2007, TFC replaced its stock option plan with an equity compensation plan that issued restricted stock awards. Under the terms of 
these plans, all options and awards were fully vested and exercisable, and any unrecognized compensation expenses were accelerated. 
Due to the mergers on May 31, 2008, these plans were terminated and the Company issued replacement options amounting to 332,351 
and 161,426 to former employees of TFC and BOE, which represented exchange rates of 1.42 and 5.7278, respectively.  

The  options  were  valued  at  $1.488 million  using  the  Black-Shoals  model  at  the  time  of  acquisition  of  TFC  and  BOE  by  the 
Company. The options were considered part of the acquisition price and, therefore, were not expensed by the Company. Assumptions 
were for a discount rate of 4.06% and 25% volatility with a remaining term of 4.83 years for TFC options and 5.25 years for BOE 
options.

The total intrinsic value of the options outstanding and exercisable was zero for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and

the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the 
option) that would have been received by option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2009. This 
amount changes with changes in the market value of the Company’s stock.

Note 15. Earnings Per Common Share  

Basic (loss) earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the 
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of 
common  shares  outstanding  during  the  period,  including  the  effect  of  all  potentially  dilutive  potential  common  shares  outstanding 
attributable to stock instruments.

Note 16. Related Party Transactions  

In  the ordinary  course of  business,  the  Bank  has  and  expects  to  continue  to  have  transactions,  including  borrowings, with  its 
executive officers, directors, and their affiliates. All such loans are made on substantially the same terms as  those prevailing at the 
time for comparable loans to unrelated persons.

In February 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved two transaction-based bonus awards to the officer who was the 
Company’s  then  chief  strategic  officer.  The  approval  of  the  bonus  awards  was  made  pursuant  to  a  provision  in  the  officer’s 
employment  agreement  that  provides  for  a  cash  bonus  payment  for  financial  advisory and other  services  that  the  officer renders in 
connection with the negotiation and consummation of a merger or other business combination involving the Company or any of its 
affiliates or the acquisition by the Company or any of its affiliates of a substantial portion of the assets or deposits of another financial 
institution. The bonus awards related to the officer’s financial advisory and other services with respect to the Bank’s acquisition of 
certain assets and assumption of all deposit liabilities of four former branch offices of TCB on November 21, 2008 and the Bank’s 
acquisition of certain assets and assumption of all deposit liabilities of seven former branch offices of SFSB on January 30, 2009. The 
amounts  of  the  bonus  awards  are  (i)  $1,169,445,  calculated  as  0.50%  of  the  total  amount  of  non-brokered  deposits  that  the  Bank 
assumed in the November 2008 transaction and (ii) $1,816,430, calculated as 0.50% of the total amount of loans and other assets that 
the Bank acquired in the January 2009 transaction. The Company believes that these bonus awards are permitted under the rules and 
regulations of the TARP Capital Purchase Program. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has 
reflected these bonus awards in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company made payment of the 
entire amount of these bonus awards to the individual in six equal installments during a period from February 12, 2010 to June 30, 
2010. 

During  the  first  two  quarters  of  2010,  the  Company  discussed  with  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  of  Richmond  and  the  Virginia 
Bureau of Financial Institutions certain issues with respect to the payment of these bonus awards. These issues include the compliance 
of the terms and structure of the bonus awards with Federal Reserve System Regulation W and the rules and regulations of the TARP 
Capital Purchase Program.  The Company has worked diligently to resolve these issues, but, as of March 27, 2012, these issues remain 
open  with  its  regulators.  The  Company  cannot  make  any  assurances  as  to  the  amount  of  these  bonus  awards,  if  any,  that  will 
ultimately  be permissible  following  the resolution of  these  issues. In  addition,  the  Company  cannot make  any  assurances  as  to  any 
penalties  that  the  regulatory  agencies  may  assess  if  the  Company  is  determined  to  have  violated  any  of  the  rules  and  regulations 
described above. Such penalties may include, with respect to any Federal Reserve violations, formal or informal action directing the 
Company to make immediate corrections, civil penalties if it is determined that the violation was caused with intent, undertaken with 
reckless disregard for the Company’s financial safety and soundness, or results in gain to the Company. In addition, such penalties 
may include, with respect to any TARP violations, civil and criminal penalties and restitution of payments paid by the Company to the 
officer.  The Company is unable to make an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss that it may incur as a result of these issues. 

Note 18. Dividend Limitations on Affiliate Bank  

Transfers of funds from the banking subsidiary to the parent corporation in the form of loans, advances and cash dividends are 
restricted by federal and state regulatory authorities. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the aggregate amount of unrestricted funds 
that could be transferred from the banking subsidiary to the parent corporation, without prior regulatory approval, totaled $0.  For each 
of  the  years  ended  December  31,  2011,  2010  and  2009,  the  Bank  was  not  permitted  to  make  dividend  payments  to  the  holding 
company without prior regulatory approval.  

Note 19. Concentration of Credit Risk  

At  December 31,  2011  and  2010,  the  Bank’s  loan  portfolio  consisted  of  commercial,  real  estate  and  consumer  (installment) 
loans. Real estate secured loans represented the largest concentration at 87.19% and 91.23% of the loan portfolio for 2011 and 2010, 
respectively.  

The Bank maintains a portion of its cash balances with several financial institutions located in its market area. Accounts at each 
institution  are  secured  by  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  up  to  $250,000.  Uninsured  balances  were  approximately  $6.7 
million and $3.8 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Note 20. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk  

The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing 
needs  of  its  customers.  These  financial  instruments  include  commitments  to  extend  credit  and  standby  letters  of  credit.  Those 
instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance 
sheet.  The  contract  amounts  of  those  instruments  reflect  the  extent  of  involvement  the  Bank  has  in  particular  classes  of  financial 
instruments.  

The  Bank’s  exposure  to  credit  loss  in  the  event  of  nonperformance  by  the  other  party  to  the  financial  instrument  for 
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank 
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.  

A summary of the contract amounts of the Bank’s exposure to off-balance sheet risk as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, are as 

follows (dollars in thousands):  

Commitments with off-balance sheet risk:
Commitments to extend credit 
Standby letters of credit

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established 
in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. 
Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily 
represent  future  cash  requirements.  The  Bank  evaluates  each  customer’s  credit  worthiness  on  a  case-by-case  basis.  The  amount  of 
collateral  obtained,  if  deemed  necessary  by  the  Bank  upon  extension  of  credit,  is  based  on  management’s  credit  evaluation  of  the 
counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing 
commercial properties.  

Unfunded  commitments  under  commercial  lines  of  credit,  revolving  credit  lines  and  overdraft  protection  agreements  are 
commitments  for possible future extensions  of  credit  to  existing  customers.  These  lines  of  credit  are generally  uncollateralized  and 
usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may be drawn upon only to the total extent to which the Bank is committed.  

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third 
party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond 
financing,  and  similar  transactions.  The  credit  risk  involved  in  issuing  letters  of  credit  is  essentially  the  same  as  that  involved  in 
extending loan facilities to customers. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is 
based on management’s evaluation of the counterparty. Since most of the letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn 
upon, they do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  

Note 21. Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements  

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the 
federal  banking  agencies.  Failure  to  meet  minimum  capital  requirements  can  initiate  certain  mandatory  and  possibly  additional 
discretionary  actions  by  regulators  that,  if  undertaken,  could  have  a  direct  material  effect  on  the  Company’s  and  Bank’s  financial 
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank 
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as 
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by 
the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions (PCA) are not applicable to 
bank holding companies.  

Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation  to  ensure  capital  adequacy  require  the  Company  and  the  Bank  to  maintain 
minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted 
assets  (as  defined),  and  of  tier 1  capital  (as  defined)  to  adjusted  average  total  assets  (as  defined).  Management  believes,  as  of 
December 31, 2011 and 2010, that the Company and Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.  

As of December 31, 2011, based on regulatory guidelines, the Company believes that it is well capitalized under the regulatory 
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum

Note 22. Fair Value of Financial Instruments  

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 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.  FASB  ASC  825,  Financial  Instruments,  excludes  certain  financial  instruments  and  all 
nonfinancial  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 for which it 

is practicable to estimate that value:  

Financial Assets 

Cash and cash equivalents 

The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, interest bearing bank deposits, and federal funds sold approximate fair value. 

Securities held to maturity  

For securities held for investment, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.  

Restricted securities  

The  carrying  value  of  restricted  securities  approximates  their  fair  value based  on  the  redemption  provisions  of  the respective 

issuer.

Loans held for resale 

The carrying amounts of loans held for resale approximate fair value. 

Loans not covered by FDIC shared loss agreement (non-covered loans)  

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

Loans covered by FDIC shared loss agreement (covered loans)  

Fair values for covered loans are based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considers various factors including the type 
of  loan  and  related  collateral,  classification  status,  term  of  loan  and  whether  or  not  the  loans  are  amortizing.  Loans  were  pooled 
together  according  to  similar  characteristics  and  were  treated  in  the  aggregate  when  applying  various  valuation  techniques.  The 
discount  rates  used  for  loans  are  based  on  the  rates  used  at  acquisition  (which  were  based  on  market  rates  for  new  originations  of 
comparable  loans)  adjusted  for  any  material  changes  in  interest  rates  since  acquisition.  Increases  in  cash  flow  expectations  since 
acquisition resulted in estimated fair value being higher than carrying value. The increase in cash flows is also reflected in a transfer 
from unaccretable yield to accretable yield as disclosed in Note 4.  

FDIC indemnification asset  

Loss  sharing  assets  are  measured  separately  from  the  related  covered  assets  as  they  are  not  contractually  embedded  in  the 
covered assets and are not transferable with the assets should the Company choose to dispose of them. Fair value is estimated using 
projected cash flows related to the obligations under the shared loss agreements based on the expected reimbursements for losses and 
the  applicable  loss  sharing  percentages.  These  expected  reimbursements  do  not  include  reimbursable  amounts  related  to  future 
covered  expenditures.  These  cash  flows  were  discounted  to  reflect  the  uncertainty  of  the  timing  and  receipt  of  the  loss  sharing 
reimbursement from the FDIC. A reduction in loss expectations has resulted in the estimated fair value of the FDIC indemnification 
asset being lower than its carrying value. This creates a premium that is amortized over the life of the asset and is reflected in Note 5.  

Accrued interest receivable  

The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable approximate fair value.  

Financial Liabilities  
Noninterest bearing deposits  

The carrying amount approximates fair value.  

Interest bearing deposits  

The fair value of NOW accounts, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the 
reporting  date.  The  fair  value  of  fixed-maturity  certificates  of  deposit  is  estimated  using  the  rates  currently  offered  for  deposits  of 
similar remaining maturities.  

Long-term borrowings  

The  fair  values  of  the  Company’s  long-term  borrowings,  such  as  FHLB  advances,  are  estimated  using  discounted  cash  flow 

analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.  

Accrued interest payable  

The carrying amounts of accrued interest payable approximate fair value.  

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.

COMMUNITY BANKERS TRUST CORPORATION 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued) 

The fair value of stand-by letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to 

terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.  

The  Company’s  off-balance  sheet  commitments  are  funded  at  current  market  rates  at  the  date  they  are  drawn  upon.  It  is 

management’s opinion that the fair value of these commitments would approximate their carrying value, if drawn upon.  

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows (dollars in thousands):  

Financial assets: 
  Cash and cash equivalents 
  Securities available for sale 
  Securities held to maturity 
  Equity securities, restricted

The  Company  assumes  interest  rate  risk  (the  risk  that  general  interest  rate  levels  will  change)  as  a  result  of  its  normal 
operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that 
change 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 23. Trust Preferred Capital Notes  

On  December 12,  2003,  BOE  Statutory  Trust I,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  the  Company,  was  formed  for  the  purpose  of 
issuing redeemable capital securities. On December 12, 2003, $4.124 million of trust preferred securities were issued through a direct 
placement. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of interest. The average interest rate at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 
2009, was 3.43%, 3.34%, and 3.89%, respectively. The securities have a mandatory redemption date of December 12, 2033 and are 
subject  to  varying  call  provisions  which  began  December 12,  2008.  The  principal  asset  of  the  Trust  is  $4.124 million  of  the 
Company’s junior subordinated debt securities with the like maturities and like interest rates to the capital securities.  

The trust preferred notes may be included in tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy determination purposes up to 25% of 
tier 1 capital after its inclusion. The portion of the trust preferred not considered as tier 1 capital may be included in tier 2 capital. At 
December 31, 2011, all trust preferred notes were included in tier 1 capital.  

The  obligations  of  the  Company  with  respect  to  the  issuance  of  the  capital  securities  constitute  a  full  and  unconditional 

guarantee by the Company of the Trust’s obligations with respect to the capital securities.  

Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the junior 
subordinated debt securities, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related capital securities. During 2011 
and  2010,  the  Company  accrued  and  elected  to  defer  $143,000  and  $72,000  in  total  interest  payments  related  to  its  trust  preferred

notes, respectively.  On March 16, 2012, the Company paid all of its previously deferred interest payments and the interest payment 
that would have been due on March 31, 2012.  Accordingly, the Company is current in its obligations under the trust preferred notes.

disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.  

Note 28. Preferred Stock  

On December 19, 2008, under the Department of the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Company issued to the 
U.S. Treasury 17,680 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (Series A Preferred Stock), and a 10-year 
warrant  to  purchase  up  to  780,000 shares  of  common  stock  at  an  exercise  price  of  $3.40  per  share.  Cumulative  dividends  on  the 
Series A  Preferred  Stock  are  payable  at  5% per  annum  through  December 19,  2013,  and  at  a  rate  of  9% per  annum  thereafter.  The 
warrant is exercisable at any time until December 19, 2018, and the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrant and the 
exercise price are subject to adjustment for certain dilutive events.  

The Company received proceeds of $17.68 million for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrant. The Company allocated 
the proceeds based on a relative fair value basis between the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrant, recording $16.64 million and 
$1.04 million, respectively. Fair value of the preferred stock was estimated based on a discounted cash flow model using an estimated 
life of 50 years and a discount rate of 12%. Fair value of the stock warrant was estimated using a Black-Scholes model assuming stock 
price volatility of 27.5%, a dividend yield of 0.5%, a risk-free rate of 1.35% and an expected life of five years. The $16.64 million of 
Series A Preferred Stock is net of a discount of $1.04 million. The discount is being accreted to the $17.68 million redemption price 
over a five year period. The accretion of the discount and dividends on the preferred stock reduce retained earnings.  

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding has no par value, has a liquidation preference of $1,000 and is 
redeemable at the Company’s option, subject to approval of the Federal Reserve, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 plus accrued 
and unpaid dividends, provided that through December 18, 2011, the Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable only in an amount up to 
the aggregate net cash proceeds received from sales of Tier 1 qualifying perpetual preferred stock or common stock, and only once 
such sales have resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of at least approximately $4.4 million.  

The Series A Preferred Stock has a preference over the Company’s common stock upon liquidation. Dividends on the preferred 
stock,  if  declared,  are  payable  quarterly  in  arrears.  The  Company’s  ability  to  declare  or  pay  dividends  on,  or  purchase,  redeem  or 
otherwise  acquire,  its  common  stock  is  subject  to  certain  restrictions  in  the  event  that  the  Company  fails  to  pay  or  set  aside  full 
dividends on the preferred stock for the latest completed dividend period. In addition, pursuant to the U.S. Treasury’s TARP Capital 
Purchase Program, until at the earliest of December 19, 2011 or the redemption of all of the Series A Preferred Stock to third parties, 
the Company must obtain the consent of the U.S. Treasury to raise the Company’s common stock dividend or to repurchase any shares 
of common stock or other preferred stock, with certain exceptions.  

The Company may defer dividend payments, but the dividend is a cumulative dividend that accrues for payment in the future.  
The failure to pay dividends for six dividend periods triggers the right for the holder of the Preferred Stock to appoint two directors to 
the Company’s board. 

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had deferred six payments of its regular quarterly cash dividend with respect to the 

Series A Preferred Stock.  The total amount of accumulated dividends was $1.3 million as of that date. 

On  February  15,  2012,  the  Company  deferred  a  seventh  payment  of  its  regularly  quarterly  cash  dividend  with  respect  to  the 
Series A Preferred Stock.  On March 16, 2012, the Company paid both this quarterly cash dividend and all outstanding interest on 
both that payment and the six dividend payments that the Company had previously deferred.  Accordingly, following the payments on 
March  16,  2012,  the  Company  had  six  quarterly  dividend  payments  with  respect  to  the  Preferred  Stock  that  remained  accrued  and 
unpaid.

CHANGES  IN  AND  DISAGREEMENTS  WITH  ACCOUNTANTS  ON  ACCOUNTING  AND  FINANCIAL 
DISCLOSURE  

Not applicable.  

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES  

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures  

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s 
chief  executive  officer  and  chief  financial  officer  (“the  Certifying  Officers”),  conducted  evaluations  of  the  Company’s  disclosure 
controls  and  procedures.  As  defined  under  Section 13a-15(e)  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended  (the  “Exchange 
Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that 
information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, 
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures 
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the 
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the 
Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.  

Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were 
effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management of the Company on a 
timely  basis  in  order  to  comply  with  the  Company’s  disclosure  obligations  under  the  Exchange  Act  and  the  rules  and  regulations 
promulgated thereunder.  

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting  

The  management  of  the  Company  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting.  The  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  under  the  supervision  of  the  Certifying 
Officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial 
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 

As of December 31, 2011, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting 
based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework,” 
issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  (“COSO”)  of  the  Treadway  Commission.  This  assessment  included  controls 
over  the  preparation  of  the  schedules  equivalent  to  the  basic  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  the  instructions  for  the 
Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C) to meet the reporting requirements of Section 112 
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act. 

Based  on  its  assessment,  management  concluded  that,  as  of  December  31,  2011,  the  Company’s  internal  control  over 

financial reporting was effective based on the criteria set forth by COSO in its “Internal Control — Integrated Framework.” 

Elliott Davis, LLC, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements of the 
Company  included  in  this  Form 10-K,  has  issued  an  attestation  report  on  management’s  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. The report is included in Item 8, “Financial Statements 
and Supplementary Data”, above under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

In  the  Company’s  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  for  the  year  ended  December 31,  2010,  management’s  assessment  of  the 
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting cited a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls 
relating to its process for identifying impaired loans, as described below. A material weakness is a significant deficiency (as defined in 
the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board’s  Auditing  Standard  No. 5),  or  combination  of  deficiencies,  such  that  there  is  a 
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a 
timely basis by employees in the normal course of their work.  The Company has concluded that this material weakness no longer 
exists as of December 31, 2011, as described below. 

107 

 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company has previously disclosed a number of remediation steps taken to address the issue described above. These steps 
have  included  the  centralization  of  key  credit  administration  functions,  the  implementation  of  an  entity-wide  credit  processing 
program, the hiring of a new chief credit officer, the enhancement of oversight of potential troubled assets through both a new internal 
special assets committee and a Board-level credit committee, the implementation of procedures for the actual evaluation of potentially 
impaired  loans  on  an  entity-wide  basis,  and  appropriate  training  across  the  organization. As  previously  disclosed,  the  Company 
believes  that  the  issues  have  been  properly  remediated,  and  the  Company  did  not  take  any  additional  remediation  steps  during  the 
fourth quarter of 2011.  During its formal assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 
31, 2011, the Company has validated that there is no longer a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls with respect to 
this issue. 

There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation 
of internal controls that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially 
affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
