Dear Shareholder,

As noted throughout our annual report, we have many things for which to be 
proud.  Most  importantly,  2015  was  a  record  year  of  earnings  for  Farmers  Bank. 
While the financial institution industry still has its challenges, we are realizing the 
results from strategically planning and positioning ourselves for the future. 

Consolidated  earnings  for  2015  were  approximately  $3.8  million,  an 
improvement  over  2014  of  twelve  percent.  Core  earnings,  excluding  loan  loss 
recoveries, for 2015 increased fifty percent over 2014. This progress in our earnings 
was reflected in our dividends to you, which also increased fifty percent over the 
prior  year.  Of  equal  importance,  we  have  significantly  improved  asset  quality, 
reduced the efficiency ratio and managed the balance sheet to ensure future growth. 
Non-interest income, excluding securities gains, added approximately $1 million to 
gross income over last year, while non-interest expenses were held steady even while 
enhancing staff and technology. 

Strategically,  the  Board  and  Management  have  set  an  aggressive  course  for 
2016.  Our  focuses  include  growing  loans  and  non-interest  deposits,  managing 
expenses and increasing our mortgage business within our markets. Our focus on 
the insurance partnership with Manry Rawls will include organic growth, as well 
as growth through acquisitions. We are also planning to expand our footprint with 
a loan production office in the Chesapeake area in the second quarter of 2016. As 
always, we continue to explore alternative sources of revenue that may fall slightly 
outside of traditional banking. 

Institutions like Farmers Bank are becoming somewhat archaic. We are a small, 
independent  bank  in  an  industry  that  is  dictating  toward  larger  organizations. 
Regulations for the financial industry continue to be costly and require constant 
strategic  focus  and  planning.  To  excel  in  banking  today  requires  a  strong  and 
committed team. I am once again proud to report that we have assembled a team 
that is dedicated to success for our shareholders, serving our customers and being 
involved to better our communities. As a community bank, our management team 
sets goals that are outside of traditional banking which ensure we are more than 
just a bank and set apart from other institutions. We strive to provide a working 
environment that encourages growth and promotes building better relationships and 
being superior role models. We want to be the bed rock of our communities; and as 
stated in the inside of our annual report we want those surrounding communities 
and citizens to be proud of our presence and contribution. 

We  want  to  thank  our  Board  of  Directors,  Management  and  Staff  for  their 
continued efforts. It is truly our privilege to work alongside each of these groups 
on a daily basis. In conclusion, we also want to thank you, our shareholders. We 
genuinely consider each of you part of our team and appreciate the loyalty, patronage 
and referrals that encourage others to join our banking family.

Sincerely,

Independent Auditors’ Report 

To the Board of Directors 
Farmers Bankshares, Inc. 
Windsor, Virginia 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Farmers  Bankshares,  Inc.,  which 
comprise  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  as  of  December 31,  2015  and  2014,  and  the  related  consolidated 
statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years 
then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements 
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the 
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of 
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

Auditors’ Responsibility 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We 
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. 

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the 
consolidated  financial  statements.  The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditors’  judgment,  including  the 
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud 
or  error.  In  making  those  risk  assessments,  the  auditor  considers  internal  control  relevant  to  the  entity’s 
preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that 
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of 
the  entity’s  internal  control.    Accordingly,  we  express  no  such  opinion.  An  audit  also  includes  evaluating  the 
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made 
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit 
opinion. 

Opinion 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the 
financial  position  of  Farmers  Bankshares,  Inc.  as  of  December 31,  2015  and  2014,  and  the  results  of  their 
operations  and  their  cash  flows  for  the  years  then  ended  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally 
accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
For Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 

Note 1 - Organization and nature of business 

Farmers  Bankshares,  Inc.  (the  “Company”)  was  organized  and  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  the  Commonwealth  of 
Virginia on July 26, 2013.   On December 31, 2013, the Company was consummated as the Bank Holding Company of 
Farmers  Bank,  Windsor,  Virginia  (the  “Bank”)  through  a  reorganization  plan,  under  the  laws  of  the  Commonwealth  of 
Virginia.  As of this date, the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Farmers Bankshares, Inc.  The Bank was formed on 
November  12,  1919  and  has  offices  in  Windsor,  Smithfield,  Suffolk,  and  Courtland,  Virginia.    Through  its  banking 
subsidiary the Company provides a wide variety of banking services primarily in southeastern Virginia.   

The  Bank  provides  small  and  mid-sized  businesses,  professionals,  corporate  executives  and  entrepreneurs  with  banking 
services comparable to those of the large national and regional institutions.  These services include loans that are priced on a 
deposit-based  relationship,  direct  access  to  the  Bank's  decision  makers,  and  quick,  innovative  response  to  customers’ 
financial needs.  If customers have credit requirements that exceed the Bank's credit limits, the Bank seeks to accommodate 
those customers by arranging loans on a participation basis with other financial institutions. 

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies 

Basis of presentation and consolidation - The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in conformity 
with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America.    The  consolidated  financial  statements 
include  the  accounts  of  the  Company  and  its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  the  Bank  and  FB  Properties  of  Virginia,  L.L.C., 
which  owns  certain  Bank  assets.    All  significant  intercompany  balances  and  transactions  have  been  eliminated  in 
consolidation.   

Cash and cash equivalents - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts 
due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold, all of which mature within 90 days or less.  The 
Company is required by the Federal Reserve to maintain average reserve balances.  For the final quarterly reporting period in 
2015 and 2014, the aggregate amount of daily-required balances was $98,000 and $44,000, respectively. 

Investment  securities  -  Investments  in  debt  securities  classified  as  held-to-maturity,  if  any,  are  stated  at  cost,  adjusted  for 
amortization  of  premiums  and  accretion  of  discounts  using  the  interest  method.    The  Company  held  no  such  securities 
during the periods reported in the financial statements. 

Investments  in  debt  securities  classified  as  trading,  if  any,  are  stated  at  fair  value.  Such  securities  are  purchased  and  held 
principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term.  Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are 
included  in  the  statements  of  operations.    The  Company  held  no  such  securities  during  the  periods  reported  on  in  the 
financial statements. 

Investments not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale.  Debt securities classified as 
available-for-sale are stated at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a 
component of accumulated other comprehensive income until realized.  The income statement line items impacted by the 
reclassification of realized gains (losses) on the sale of securities are the gains (losses) on disposition of securities and income 
tax expense line items in the income statement.   

Gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method and are recognized on a 
trade  date  basis.    Other  than  temporary  declines  in  the  fair  value  of  individual  held-to-maturity  and  available-for-sale 
securities  below  their  cost,  if  any,  are  included  in  earnings  as  realized  losses.  Other-than-temporarily  impaired  (“OTTI”) 
guidance for investment states that an impairment is OTTI if any of the following conditions exist: the entity intends to sell 
the security; it is more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost 
basis; or, the entity does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to 
sell).

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

Loans  -  The  Bank  grants  mortgage,  commercial  and  consumer  loans  to  customers.    A  substantial  portion  of  the  loan 
portfolio is represented by commercial and consumer mortgage loans throughout Southeastern Virginia.  The ability of the 
Bank’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.  

Loans held for investment that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity 
generally are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances.  Loans held for sale are originated and intended for sale 
in the secondary market.  These loans are carried at the lower of cost or market in the aggregate.  Net unrealized losses, if 
any,  are  recognized  through  charges  to  income.    Interest  income  is  accrued  on  the  unpaid  principal  balance  for  all  loan 
classes.    Discounts  and  premiums  are  amortized  to  income  using  the  interest  method.    Net  deferred  fees  and  costs  are 
amortized over the lives of the applicable loans using the effective interest rate method.   

Allowance for loan losses  - 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 
uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. 

The  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  evaluated  on  a  regular  basis  by  management  and  is  based  upon  management's  periodic 
review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse 
situations  that  may  affect  the  borrower's  ability  to  repay,  estimated  value  of  any  underlying  collateral  and  prevailing 
economic  conditions.    This  evaluation  is  inherently  subjective  as  it  requires  estimates  that  are  susceptible  to  significant 
revision as more information becomes available. 

The  allowance  consists  of  a  specific,  a  historic  and  a  qualitative,  general  component.    The  specific  component  relates  to 
loans  that  are  considered  impaired.    For  such  loans  that  are  classified  as  impaired,  an  allowance  is  established  when  the 
discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of an impaired loan are lower than the carrying value 
of  that  loan.   The  historic  component  covers  non-classified  and  criticized  loans  and  is  based  on  historical  loss  experience 
adjusted  for  qualitative  factors.    The  qualitative  reserve  of  the  allowance  reflects  adjustments  to  historical  experience  to 
account for current conditions impacting the loan portfolio. 

For all classes, 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  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.  

The allowance model is applied to determine the specific allowance balance for impaired loans and the general allowance 
balance for unimpaired loans grouped by loan type.   

The Bank’s loan charge-off policy for all  loan classes is to charge down loans to  net realizable value once a portion of the 
loan is determined to be uncollectible, and the underlying collateral shortfall is assessed.  Loans are moved to nonaccrual 
status when the loan becomes 90 days delinquent or a portion of the loan is determined to be uncollectible and supporting 
collateral is not considered to be sufficient to cover potential losses.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

Allowance for loan losses (concluded) - Nonaccrual loans are reviewed monthly to determine if all or a portion of the loan is 
uncollectible.    Nonaccrual  loans  that  are  determined  to  be  solely  collateral  dependent  are  monitored  for  possible  charge 
downs to net realizable value upon determination that they are impaired.   

Income recognition on impaired and non-accrual loans - All classes of loans are generally classified as non-accrual if they are 
past due as to maturity or payment of principal or interest for a period of more than 90 days, unless such loans are well-
secured and in the process of collection.   All classes of loans that are on a current payment status or past due less than 90 
days may also be classified as non-accrual, if repayment in full of principal and/or interest is in doubt. 

All classes of loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due (including 
arrearages)  are  reasonably  assured  of  repayment  within  an  acceptable  period  of  time,  and  there  is  a  sustained  period  of 
repayment performance by the borrower, in accordance with the contractual terms of interest and principal. 

When all classes of loans are classified as non-accrual and the future collectibility of the recorded loan balance is doubtful, 
collections  of  interest  and  principal  are  generally  applied  as  a  reduction  to  principal  outstanding.  When  the  future 
collectibility of the recorded loan balance is expected, interest income may be recognized on a cash basis. In the case where a 
non-accrual loan had been partially charged off, recognition of interest on a cash basis is limited to that which would have 
been recognized on the recorded loan balance at the contractual interest rate. Cash interest receipts in excess of that amount 
are recorded as recoveries to the allowance for loan losses until prior charge-offs have been fully recovered. 

Other real estate owned - Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure is held for sale and is initially recorded at 
fair  value  less  estimated  cost  to  sale  at  the  date  of  foreclosure,  establishing  a  new  cost  basis.  Principal  and  interest  losses 
existing  at  the  time  of  acquisition  of  such  assets  are  charged  against  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  and  interest  income, 
respectively.  Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at 
the  lower  of  carrying  amount  or  fair  value  less  estimated  cost  to  sell.  Costs  of  significant  property  improvements  are 
capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding property are expensed.  Revenue and expenses from operations associated with 
other real estate owned and the impact of any subsequent changes in the carrying value are included in other expenses.  

Premises and equipment - Land is carried at cost.  Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. 
For  financial  reporting  purposes,  assets  are  depreciated  over  their  estimated  useful  lives  using  the  straight-line  method.  
Useful lives for these assets are within the following ranges, buildings from 10-39 years, equipment, furniture and fixtures 3-
15  years,  computer  equipment  3-7  years  and  software  3-5  years.    For  income  tax  purposes,  the  accelerated  cost  recovery 
system and the modified accelerated cost recovery system are used. 

Non-marketable equity securities - Non-marketable equity securities are restricted securities, carried at cost, and periodically 
evaluated for impairment.  These securities are restricted, do not have a readily determinable fair value, and lack a market.  
Because of the redemption provisions of the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock, the Bank estimated 
that the fair value equaled or exceeded the cost of these investments and the investments were not impaired.  In April 2014, 
the Bank invested approximately $1.4 million in return for a one-third ownership in Manry Rawls, LLC.  Manry Rawls, LLC 
is a local and independent regional insurance agency offering a wide array of insurance products.  The Bank’s propionate 
share of Manry Rawls’ income is recorded as an increase in the investment and directly to other non-interest income.  Any 
cash  distributions  made  by  Manry  Rawls’  would  lower  the  recorded  investment  at  the  time  of  payment.    The  difference 
between the carrying value of the investment and the underlying equity in net assets amounts to approximately $923,000 
and  is  considered  equity  method  goodwill.    Equity  method  investments  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or 
changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of  the  investment  might  not  be  recoverable.    No  such 
impairment was identified in 2015.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
For Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

Income taxes - Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements, and consist 
of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of investment securities, deferred 
loan fees, allowance for loan losses, deferred compensation, interest on non-performing loans and accumulated depreciation 
for financial and income tax reporting.    

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognized  for  the  future  tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the 
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and 
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary 
differences are expected to be recovered in income.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more 
likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized.   Management has evaluated all other tax positions that could have a 
significant  effect  on  the  financial  statements  and  determined  the  Company  had  no  uncertain  income  tax  positions  at 
December 31, 2015 and 2014.   The years ending on or after December 31, 2012 remain subject to examination by federal 
and state tax authorities.  The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax 
expense. 

Deferred compensation plans  -  The  Company  maintains  deferred  compensation  and  retirement  arrangements  with  certain 
officers.  The Company's policy is to accrue the estimated amounts to be paid under the contracts over the expected period 
of active employment.  The Company purchased life insurance contracts to fund the expected liabilities under the contracts. 

Earnings  per  common  share  -  Basic  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  are  computed  by  dividing  income  available  to  common 
shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the 
potential dilution if restricted stock, or other common stock equivalents, would result in the issuance of additional shares of 
common  stock  that  share  in  earnings.    Potential  common  shares  that  may  be  issued  by  the  Company  relate  solely  to 
outstanding non-vested restricted stock.   

Off-balance sheet financial instruments - In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-balance sheet 
financial  instruments  consisting  of  commitments  to  extend  credit,  commitments  under  credit  card  arrangements, 
commercial  letters  of  credit,  standby  letters  of  credit,  and  financial  guarantees  written.    Such  financial  instruments  are 
generally  recorded  in  the  financial  statements  when  they  become  payable.    A  reserve  for  these  off-balance  sheet  financial 
instruments is considered immaterial as is the fair value of the financial guarantees.   

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

Estimation of fair values - The following notes summarize the major methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair 
value of financial instruments: 

Short-term financial instruments are valued at their carrying amounts included in the Company’s balance sheet, which 
are reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of the instruments.  This approach 
applies to cash and cash equivalents, deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, and short-term borrowings. 

Loans are valued on the basis of estimated future receipts of principal and interest, discounted at various rates.  Loan 
prepayments are assumed to occur at the same rate as in previous periods when interest rates were at levels similar to 
current levels.  Future cash flows for homogeneous categories of consumer loans are estimated on a portfolio basis and 
discounted at current rates offered for similar loan terms to new borrowers with similar credit profiles.

 Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

Estimation  of  fair  values  (concluded)  –  A  liquidity  discount  is  not  considered  in  determining  the  fair  value  of  the  loan 
portfolio.   

Investment  securities  are  valued  at  quoted  market  prices,  if  available.    The  fair  value  of  equity  investments  in  the 
restricted  stock  of  the  FRB  and  FHLB  approximates  the  carrying  value  due  to  the  redemptive  provisions  of  these 
securities.   

For unquoted securities, the fair value is estimated by the Company on the basis of financial and other information. 

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.   

The fair value of demand deposits and deposits with no defined maturity is taken to be the amount payable on demand 
at the reporting date.  The fair value of fixed-maturity deposits is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and rates 
currently  offered  for  deposits  of  similar  remaining  maturities.    The  intangible  value  of  long-term  relationships  with 
depositors is not taken into account in estimating the fair values disclosed. 

Fair  values  of  capital  notes  are  based  on  market  prices  for  debt  securities  having  similar  maturity  and  interest  rate 
characteristics.  The impact of the Company’s assessment of its own credit risk is not factored into the fair value of the 
notes.  

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and borrowings under repurchase agreements approximate their fair 
values.   

The fair values of the Company’s Federal Home Loan Bank advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses 
based on current rates offered on similar debt instruments.  

It  is  not  practicable  to  separately  estimate  the  fair  values  for  off-balance-sheet  credit  commitments,  including  standby 
letters  of  credit  and  guarantees  written,  due  to  the  lack  of  cost-effective,  reliable  measurement  methods  for  these 
instruments. 

Certain  significant  estimates  -  Material  estimates  that  are  particularly  susceptible  to  significant  change  relate  to  the 
determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the valuation of other real estate owned.  Management uses available 
information to recognize losses on loans and other real estate owned.  Future additions to the allowances may be necessary 
based  on  changes  in  local  economic  conditions  and  other  factors.    Management  believes  the  allowances  recorded  at 
December 31, 2015 and 2014 are sufficient to cover inherent losses in the portfolio. 

Recent  accounting  pronouncements  -  In  January  2014,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2014-04,  “Troubled  Debt  Restructurings  by 
Creditors  (Subtopic  310-40):  Reclassification  of  Residential  Real  Estate  Collateralized  Consumer  Mortgage  Loans  upon 
Foreclosure”.  The amendments in this update clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor 
is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, 
upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) 
the  borrower  conveying  all  interest  in  the  residential  real  estate  property  to  the  creditor  to  satisfy  that  loan  through 
completion  of  a  deed  in  lieu  of  foreclosure  or  through  a  similar  legal  agreement.    Additionally,  the  amendments  require 
interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and 
(2)  the  recorded  investment  in  consumer  mortgage  loans  collateralized  by  residential  real  estate  property  that  are  in  the 
process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction.  The amendments are effective for fiscal 
years beginning after December 31, 2014.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated 
financial statements of the Company, but new disclosures were added.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

Recent accounting pronouncements (continued) - In June 2014, the FASB issues ASU No. 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing 
(Topic  860):  Repurchase-to-Maturity  Transactions,  Repurchase  Financings,  and  Disclosures.”    This  ASU  aligns  the 
accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as a repurchase financing with the 
accounting for other typical repurchase agreements.  The new guidance eliminates sale accounting for repurchase-to-maturity 
transactions  and  supersedes  the  guidance  under  which  a  transfer  of  a  financial  asset  and  a  contemporaneous  repurchase 
financing could be accounted for on a combined basis as a forward agreement.  The amendments in the ASU also require a 
new disclosure for transactions economically similar to repurchase agreements in which the transferor retains substantially 
all  of  the  exposure  to  the  economic  return  on  the  transferred  financial  assets  throughout  the  term  of  the  transaction.  
Additional disclosures will be required for the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions 
accounted  for  as  secured  borrowings.    The  amendments  in  this  ASU  are  effective  for  the  first  interim  or  annual  period 
beginning after December 15, 2015; however, the disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required 
to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim period beginning after March 15, 2015.  
Early adoption is not permitted.  The adoption of the new guidance  did not have  a material impact on our consolidated 
financial statements, but new disclosures were added. 

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

In  February  2015,  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2015-02,  “Consolidation:  Topic  810:  Amendments  to  the  Consolidation 
Analysis.”    The  amendments  to  this  ASU  changes  the  guidance  with  respect  to  the  analysis  that  a  reporting  entity  must 
perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities.  The amendments include: (1) modifying 
the evaluation of limited partnerships and similar legal entities, (2) amending when fees paid to a decision maker should be 
included  in  the  variable  interest  entity  analysis,  (3)  amending  the  related  party  relationship  guidance,  and  (4)  providing  a 
scope exception from the consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interest in certain investment funds.  The ASU 
is  effective  for  interim  and  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2015,  although  early  adoption  is 
permitted.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements 
of the Company.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (concluded) 

Recent  accounting  pronouncements  (concluded)  -  In  August  2015,  the  ASB  issued  ASU  No.  2015-14,  “Revenue  from 
Contracts with Customers: Topic 606”.  This ASU is an update to the original ASU No. 2014-09 and the deferral of the 
effective date.  Both ASU applies to any entity using U.S. GAAP that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer 
goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of 
other  standards.    The  guidance  supersedes  the  revenue  recognition  requirements  in  Topic  605,  “Revenue  Recognition”, 
most  industry-specific  guidance,  and  some  cost  guidance  Table  of  Contents  10  included  in  Subtopic  605-35,  “Revenue 
Recognition-Construction-Type  and  Production-Type  Contracts”.    The  core  principle  of  the  guidance  is  that  an  entity 
should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the 
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  To be in alignment with the 
core  principle,  an  entity  must  apply  a  five  step  process  including:  identification  of  the  contract(s)  with  a  customer, 
identification  of  performance  obligations  in  the  contract(s),  determination  of  the  transaction  price,  allocation  of  the 
transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognition of revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance 
obligation. Additionally, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets 
that are not in a contract with a customer have also been amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and 
measurement.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 
for public business entities.  Early adoption is permitted but not before the original public entity effective date, i.e. annual 
periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. 

In  January  2016,  the  ASB  issued  ASU  No.  2016-1,  “Financial  Instruments  –  Overall:  Subtopic  825-10:  Recognition  and 
Measurement  of  Financial  Assets  and  Financial  Liabilities.”    This  ASU  addresses  certain  aspects  of  recognition, 
measurement, presentation and disclosure.  The amendments in this ASU (1) require equity investments to be measured at 
fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (2) simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments 
without readily determinable fair value; (3) require public business entities to use exit prices, rather than entry prices, when 
measuring fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (4) require separate presentation of financial assets and 
financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to 
the  financial  statements;  (5)  eliminate  the  requirement  to  disclose  the  method(s)  and  significant  assumptions  used  to 
estimate  the  fair  value  for  financial  statements  measured  at  amortized  cost  on  the  balance  sheet;  (6)  require  separate 
presentation in other comprehensive income of the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a 
change  in  the  instrument-specific  credit  risk  when  the  organization  has  elected  to  measure  the  liability  at  fair  value  in 
accordance  with  the  fair  value  option  for  financial  instruments;  and  (7)  state  that  a  valuation  allowance  on  deferred  tax 
assets  related  to  available-for-sale  securities  should  be  evaluated  in  combination  with  other  deferred  tax  assets.    The 
amendments  in  this  ASU  are  effective  for  public  business  entities  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  2017, 
including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The ASU only permits early adoption of the instrument-specific credit 
risk provision.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard. 

Reclassifications  -  Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made  to  prior  period  balances  to  conform  to  the  current  year 
presentation with no impact on net income or stockholders equity as previously recorded.

Note 3 - Available-for-sale securities (concluded)   

State  and  municipal  -  The  Company’s  unrealized  losses  on  state  and  municipal  securities  were  caused  by  the  interest  rate 
fluctuations.  The severity and duration of these unrealized losses will fluctuate with interest rates in the economy.  Based on 
the credit quality of the issuers, and because of the Company’s intent to hold the securities until a market price recovery or 
maturity, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before their anticipated 
recovery, the Company does not consider these investments other than temporarily impaired.      

Residential and mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations- The Company’s unrealized  losses on residential 
and  mortgage-backed  securities  and  collateralized  mortgage  obligations  were  caused  by  the  interest  rate  fluctuations.    The 
severity  and  duration  of  these  unrealized  losses  will  fluctuate  with  interest  rates  in  the  economy.    Because  our  mortgage-
related  securities  are  backed  by  FNMA  and  FHLMC,  which  are  GSEs,  or  are  collateralized  by  securities  backed  by  these 
agencies, and because of the Company’s intent to hold the securities until a market price recovery or maturity, and it is more 
likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company 
does not consider these investments other than temporarily impaired.      

At  December  31,  2015  and  2014,  securities  with  a  carrying  value  of  approximately  $27,905,116  and  $24,085,310, 
respectively, are pledged to the Commonwealth of Virginia to secure public deposits.  In addition, at December 31, 2015 
and 2014, securities with a carrying value of $14,632,536 and $19,123,648, respectively, are pledged to the Federal Home

Real Estate Loans - Real estate loans include construction and land development loans, commercial real estate loans, home 
equity lines of credit and residential mortgages.   

Construction/development  lending  totaled  $32.1  million  and  $32.2  million  at  December  31,  2015  and  2014, 
respectively.  The Bank originates one-to-four family residential construction loans for the construction of custom 
homes  (where  the  home  buyer  is  the  borrower)  and  provides  financing  to  builders  and  consumers  for  the 
construction of pre-sold homes.  The Bank generally receives a pre-arranged permanent financing commitment from 
an outside banking entity prior to financing the construction of pre-sold homes.  The Bank also makes commercial 
real  estate  construction  loans,  primarily  for  owner-occupied  properties.    The Bank  limits  its  construction  lending 
risk through adherence to established underwriting procedures.  Residential one-to-four family loans amounted to 
$42.6 million and $44.8 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  

Commercial real estate loans totaled $93.1 million and $92.7 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  
This lending has involved loans secured by owner-occupied commercial buildings for office, storage and warehouse 
space, as well as non-owner occupied commercial buildings. The Bank generally requires the personal guaranty of 
borrowers and a demonstrated cash flow capability sufficient to service the debt.  Loans secured by commercial real 
estate  may  be  larger  in  size  and  may  involve  a  greater  degree  of  risk  than  one-to-four  family  residential  mortgage 
loans.  Payments on such loans are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties.

Note 4 – Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (continued) 

Commercial  and  Industrial  Loans  -  At  December  31,  2015  and  2014,  the  Bank’s  commercial  loan  portfolio  totaled  $40.2 
million and $35.3 million, respectively.  Commercial loans include both secured and unsecured loans for working capital, 
expansion,  and  other  business  purposes.    Short-term  working  capital  loans  are  secured  by  accounts  receivable,  inventory 
and/or equipment.  The Bank also makes term commercial loans secured by equipment and real estate.  Lending decisions 
are  based  on  an  evaluation  of  the  financial  strength,  cash  flow,  management  and  credit  history  of  the  borrower,  and  the 
quality  of  the  collateral  securing  the  loan.    With  few  exceptions,  the  Bank  requires  personal  guarantees  and  secondary 
sources of repayment.  Commercial loans generally provide greater yields and re-price more frequently than other types of 
loans, such as real estate loans.   

Agricultural Loans – Agricultural loans totaled $20.9 million and $20.7 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively 
and include loans secured by farm equipment, inventory and farm land.  Lending decisions are based on an evaluation of 
the financial strength, cash flow, management and credit history of the borrower, and the quality of the collateral securing 
the loan.  Payments on such loans are often dependent on successful operation or management of the farming operation. 

Loans  to  Individuals  -  Loans  to  individuals  (consumer  loans)  include  automobile  loans,  boat  and  recreational  vehicle 
financing, and miscellaneous secured and unsecured personal loans and totaled $1.8 million and $1.9 million at December 
31,  2015  and  2014,  respectively.    Consumer  loans  generally  can  carry  significantly  greater  risks  than  other  loans,  even  if 
secured, if the collateral consists of rapidly depreciating assets such as automobiles and equipment.  Repossessed collateral 
securing  a  defaulted  consumer  loan  may  not  provide  an  adequate  source  of  repayment  of  the  loan.    Consumer  loan 
collections are sensitive to job loss, illness and other personal factors.  The Bank manages the risks inherent in consumer 
lending by following established credit guidelines and underwriting practices designed to minimize risk of loss. 

Loan Approvals - The Bank’s loan policies and procedures establish the basic guidelines governing its lending operations.  The 
guidelines  address  the  type  of  loans  that  the  Bank  seeks,  target  markets,  underwriting  and  collateral  requirements,  terms, 
interest  rate  and  yield  considerations  and  compliance  with  laws  and  regulations.    All  loans  or  credit  lines  are  subject  to 
approval procedures and amount limitations.  These limitations apply to the borrower’s total outstanding indebtedness to 
the Bank, including any indebtedness as a guarantor. The policies are reviewed and approved at least annually by the Board 
of Directors of the Bank.  The Bank supplements its own supervision of the loan underwriting and approval process with 
periodic loan reviews by independent, outside professionals experienced in loan review.  Responsibility for loan review and 
loan  underwriting  resides  with  the  Chief Credit  Officer  position.    This  position  is  responsible  for  loan  underwriting  and 
approval.  On an annual basis, the Board of Directors of the Bank determines officers lending authority.  Authorities may 
include  loans,  letters  of  credit,  overdrafts,  uncollected  funds  and  such  other  authorities  as  determined  by  the  Board  of 
Directors. 

Substantially all of the Bank's loans have been granted to customers in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. 

Credit Review and Evaluation - The Bank outsources the credit risk review function which reports to the Board of Directors.  
The  focus  of  the  engagement  is  on  policy  compliance  and  proper  grading  of  higher  credit  risk  loans  as  well  as  new  and 
existing loans on a sample basis. Additional reporting for problem/criticized assets has been developed along with an after-
the-fact loan review.  

The Bank uses a risk grading program to facilitate the evaluation of probable inherent loan losses and the adequacy of the 
allowance for loan losses.  In this program, risk grades are initially assigned by loan officers, reviewed by the Chief Credit 
Officer and reviewed by credit review analysts on a test basis.  The Bank strives to maintain the loan portfolio in accordance 
with conservative loan underwriting policies that result in loans specifically tailored to the needs of the Bank’s market area.  
Every effort is made to identify and minimize the credit risks associated with such lending strategies.

Note 4 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)  

Credit Review and Evaluation (concluded) - All loans are risk graded on a scale from 1 (highest quality) to 9 (loss).  Acceptable 
loans  at  inception  are  grades  1  through  5.  These  grades  have  underwriting  requirements  that  at  least  meet  the  minimum 
requirements of a secondary market source.  If borrowers do not meet credit history requirements, other mitigating criteria 
such as substantial liquidity and low loan-to-value ratios could be considered and would generally have to be met in order to 
make  the  loan.    The  Bank’s  loan  policy  states  that  a  guarantor  may  be  necessary  if  reasonable  doubt  exists  as  to  the 
borrower’s ability to repay.   

The  Board  of  Directors  has  authorized  the  loan  officers  to  have  individual  approval  authority  for  risk  grade  1  through  5 
loans up to maximum exposure limits for each customer.  New or renewed loans that are graded 6 (special mention) or lower 
must  have  approval  from  the  Chief  Credit  Officer  and  Chief  Lending  Officer.  Any  changes  in  risk  assessments  as 
determined by loan officers, credit administrators, regulatory examiners and management are also considered.   

The risk grades, normally assigned by the loan officers when the loan is originated and reviewed by the Chief Credit Officer, 
are  based  on  several  factors  including  historical  data,  current  economic  factors,  composition  of  the  portfolio,  and 
evaluations of the total loan portfolio and  assessments of credit quality within specific loan types.  In some cases the risk 
grades  are  assigned  by  the  Chief  Credit  Officer  or  the Chief  Lending  Officer,  depending  upon  dollar  exposure.    Because 
these factors are dynamic, the provision for loan losses can fluctuate.  Credit quality reviews are based primarily on analyses 
of borrowers’ cash flows, with asset values considered only as a second source of payment.   Credit analysts work with lenders 
in underwriting, structuring and risk grading the Bank’s credits.  The Chief Lending Officer and the Chief Credit Officer 
focus on lending policy compliance, credit risk grading, and credit risk reviews on larger dollar exposures.  Management uses 
the information developed from the procedures above in evaluating and grading the loan portfolio.  This continual grading 
process is used to monitor the credit quality of the loan portfolio and to assist management in determining the appropriate 
levels of the allowance for loan losses.  The following is a summary of the credit risk grade definitions for all loan types: 

“1” — Prime – Credits in this category are virtually risk-free and are well-collateralized by cash or cash-equivalent instruments 
held by the Bank. The repayment program is well-defined and achievable, and repayment sources are numerous. No material 
documentation deficiencies or exceptions exist. 

“2”  —  Good  –  This  grade  is  reserved  for  loans  secured  by  readily  marketable  collateral,  or  loans  within  guidelines  to 
borrowers  with  liquid  financial  statements.  A  liquid  financial  statement  is  generally  a  financial  statement  with  substantial 
liquid  assets,  particularly  relative  to  the  debts.  These  loans  have  excellent  sources  of  repayment,  with  no  significant 
identifiable risk of collection, and conform in all respects to Bank policy, guidelines, underwriting standards, and Federal 
and State regulations (no exceptions of any kind). 

“3”  —  Acceptable  1  –  This  grade  is  reserved  for  the  Bank’s  top  quality  loans.  These  loans  have  excellent  sources  of 
repayment, with no significant identifiable risk of collection. Generally, loans assigned this risk grade will demonstrate the 
following characteristics: 

 Conformity in all respects with Bank policy, guidelines, underwriting standards, and Federal and State regulations 

(no exceptions of any kind). 

 Documented  historical  cash  flow  that  meets  or  exceeds  required  minimum  Bank  guidelines,  or  that  can  be 

supplemented with verifiable cash flow from other sources. 

 Adequate secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidity, liquidation of collateral, or 

liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor.

Note 4 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)  

 “4” — Acceptable 2 – This grade is given to acceptable loans. These loans have adequate sources of repayment, with little 
identifiable risk of collection. Loans assigned this risk grade will demonstrate the following characteristics: 

 General conformity to the Bank's underwriting requirements, with limited exceptions to the Bank's policy, product 
or underwriting guidelines. All exceptions noted have documented mitigating factors that offset any additional risk 
associated with the exceptions noted. 

 Documented  historical  cash  flow  that  meets  or  exceeds  required  minimum  Bank  guidelines,  or  that  can  be 

supplemented with verifiable cash flow from other sources. 

 Adequate secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidity, liquidation of collateral, or 

liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor. 

 “5”  —  Weak  Pass  –  This  grade  is  given  to  acceptable  loans  that  show  signs  of  weakness  in  either  adequate  sources  of 
repayment  or  collateral,  but  have  demonstrated  mitigating  factors  that  minimize  the  risk  of  delinquency  or  loss.  Loans 
assigned this grade may demonstrate some or all of the following characteristics: 

 Additional exceptions to the Bank's policy requirements, product guidelines or underwriting standards that present 
a higher degree of risk to the Bank. Although the combination and/or severity of identified exceptions is greater for 
this  risk  grade,  the  exceptions  may  be  properly  mitigated  by  other  documented  factors  that  offset  any  additional 
risks. 

 Unproved, insufficient or marginal primary sources of repayment that appear sufficient to service the debt at this 
time. Repayment weaknesses may be due to minor operational issues, financial trends, or reliance on projected (not 
historic) performance. 

 Marginal or unproven secondary sources to liquidate the debt, including combinations of liquidation of collateral 

and liquidation value to the net worth of the borrower or guarantor. 

“6” — Special Mention – Special Mention loans include the following characteristics:  






Loans with underwriting guideline tolerances and/or exceptions and with no mitigating factors;  
Extending loans that are currently performing satisfactorily but with potential weaknesses that may, if not corrected, 
weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Bank's position at some future date. Potential weaknesses are the result 
of deviations from prudent lending practices; or  
Loans  where  adverse  economic  conditions  have  developed  subsequent  to  the  loan  origination  that  do  not 
jeopardize liquidation of the debt, but do substantially increase the level of risk, may also warrant this rating. 

“7” — Substandard – A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of 
the  obligor  or  of  the  collateral  pledged,  if  any.  Loans  classified  as  substandard  must  have  a  well-defined  weakness  or 
weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt; they are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution 
will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Loans consistently not meeting the repayment schedule should be 
downgraded to substandard. Loans in this category are characterized by deterioration in quality exhibited by any number of 
well-defined weaknesses requiring corrective action. The weaknesses may include, but are not limited to: 

 High debt to worth ratios 
 Declining or negative earnings trends 
 Declining or inadequate liquidity 
 Questionable repayment sources 

 Unfavorable competitive comparisons. 

Lack of well-defined secondary repayment source, and 

Such loans are no longer considered to be adequately protected due to the borrower's declining net worth, lack of earnings 
capacity, declining collateral margins and/or unperfected collateral positions. A possibility of loss of a portion of the loan 
balance cannot be ruled out. The repayment ability of the borrower is marginal or weak and the loan may have exhibited 
excessive overdue status or extensions and/or renewals.

Note 4 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (continued) 

“8” — Doubtful – Loans classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified Substandard, plus the added 
characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, 
and values highly questionable and improbable. However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may 
occur which would salvage the debt. Among these events are: 


Injection of capital 
 Alternative financing 


Liquidation of assets or the pledging of additional collateral. 

The ability of the borrower to service the debt is extremely weak, overdue status is constant, the debt has been placed on 
non-accrual status, and no definite repayment schedule exists.  Doubtful is a temporary grade where a loss is expected but is 
presently not quantified with any degree of accuracy. Once the loss position is determined, the amount is charged off. 

 “9” — Loss – Loans classified Loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable 
assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather 
that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the loan even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.  
Probable Loss portions of problem assets should be charged against the Reserve for Loan Losses. Loans may reside in this 
classification for administrative purposes for a period not to exceed the earlier of thirty (30) days or calendar quarter-end.

Nonaccrual  loans  and  past  due  loans  -    Nonperforming  assets  include  loans  classified  as  nonaccrual,  foreclosed  bank-owned 
property and loans past due 90 days or more on which interest is still being accrued.  There were no financing receivables 
past  due  over  90  days  accruing  interest  as  of  December  31,  2015  or  2014.      Nonaccrual  loans  as  of  December  31,  2015 
totaled $1.4 million, or 0.55% of total loans, compared with $5.9 million, or 2.39% of total loans, as of December 31, 2014.  
The Bank aggressively pursues the collection and repayment of all loans. Other  nonperforming assets, such as repossessed 
and foreclosed collateral are aggressively liquidated by the Bank’s management.  The total number of loans on nonaccrual 
status as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was 12 and 24, respectively.  

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Bank recognized $-0- and $9,621 in interest income on nonaccrual 
loans.    If  interest  on  those  loans  had  been  accrued  in  accordance  with  the  original  terms,  interest  income  would  have 
increased by approximately $114,677 and $175,472 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Note 4 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)  

Troubled Debt Restructurings - In order to maximize the collection of loan balances, the Bank evaluates troubled loan accounts 
on a case-by-case basis to determine if a loan modification would be appropriate.  Loan modifications may be utilized where 
there is a reasonable chance that an appropriate modification would allow the Bank’s customers to continue servicing debt.  
A loan is a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if both of the following exist: 1) a creditor has granted a concession to the 
debtor, and, 2) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.   Non-accruing loans that are modified can be placed back on 
accrual  status  when  both  principal  and  interest  are  current  and  it  is  probable  that  the  Bank  will  be  able  to  collect  all 
amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the terms of the loan agreement and a sustained period of payment 
performance is demonstrated.   Interest on troubled debt restructured loans is accrued at the restructured rates when it is 
anticipated that no loss of original principal will occur and a sustained payment performance period is obtained.  For the 
years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the following table presents a breakdown of the types of concession made by loan 
class:

The  restructured  loans  generally  include  terms  to  reduce  the  interest  rate  and  extend  payment  terms.  The  Bank  did  not 
forgive any principal associated with any of the above loans during 2015 or 2014. Within the last 12 months, no loans that 
were restructured in 2014, subsequently defaulted and were foreclosed upon.  Two loans that were restructured within the 
last 12 months during 2013 with a total principal balance of $2.1million at December 31, 2013 subsequently defaulted and 
were foreclosed upon during 2014.  These modifications resulted in specific reserves in the Bank’s allowance for loan losses 
of $592,950 and $-0- as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
For Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 

Note 4 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)  

Troubled Debt Restructurings (concluded) - There was one TDR that was on non-accrual status and had a total current principal 
balance  of  $297,846  as  of  December  31,  2015.      There  were  two  TDRs  that  are  on  non-accrual  status  and  have  a  total 
current principal balance of $871,859 as of December 31, 2014. Eighteen TDRs with a current principal balance of $10.5 
million  and  nineteen  TDRs  with  current  principal  balance  of  $9.7  million  were  considered  performing  loans    and  are 
accruing interest based on their sustained payment performance as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.    

The specific reserve portion of the allowance for loan losses on TDRs is determined by discounting the restructured cash 
flows at the original effective rate of the loan before modification or is based on the underlying collateral value less costs to 
sell, if repayment of the loan is collateral-dependent. If the resulting amount is less than the recorded book value, the Bank 
either establishes a valuation allowance as a component of the allowance for loan losses or charges off the impaired balance 
if it determines that such amount is a confirmed loss. This method is used consistently for all segments of the portfolio.  

Other real estate owned -   At December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company held $-0- and $486,000, respectively of foreclosed 
residential  real  estate.    The  recorded  investment  in  one-to-four  family  residential  loans  secured  by  residential  real  estate 
properties where formal foreclosure procedures were in process as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $279,832 and $-0-, 
respectively.   

Impaired  Loans  -  Management  considers  certain  loans  graded  “doubtful”  (loans  graded  8)  or  “loss”  (loans  graded  9)  to  be 
individually  impaired  and  may  consider  “substandard”  loans  (loans  graded  7)  individually  impaired  depending  on  the 
borrower’s payment history.  Any loans classified as troubled debt restructurings regardless of loan grade are also classified as 
impaired loans.   The Bank measures impairment based upon discounted expected cash flows or the value of the collateral.  
Collateral  value  is  assessed  based  on  collateral  value  trends,  liquidation  value  trends,  and  other  liquidation  expenses  to 
determine logical and credible discounts that may be needed.   Updated appraisals are required for all impaired loans and 
typically at renewal or modification of larger loans if the appraisal is more than 12 months old.  

Impaired loans for all classes of loans typically include nonaccrual loans, loans over 90 days past due still accruing, troubled 
debt restructured loans and other problem loans considered impaired based on other underlying factors.   Potential problem 
loans totaled $12.5 million and $15.6 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  These totals include loans 
which are currently performing and are not included in nonaccrual or restructured loans above, but about which we have 
serious doubts as to the borrower’s ability to comply with present repayment terms.  These loans are likely to be included 
later  in  nonaccrual,  past  due  or  troubled  debt  restructured  loans,  so  they  are  considered  by  management  in  assessing  the 
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired 
loans.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
For Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 

Note 4 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)  

Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to 
expense,  which  represents  management’s  best  estimate  for  probable  losses  that  have  been  incurred  within  the  existing 
portfolio  of  loans.    The  primary  risks  inherent  in  the  Bank’s  loan  portfolio,  including  the  adequacy  of  the  allowance  or 
reserve for loan losses, are based on management’s assumptions regarding, among other factors, general and local economic 
conditions, which are difficult to predict and are beyond the Bank’s control.  In estimating these risks, and the related loss 
reserve  levels,  management  also  considers  the  financial  conditions  of  specific  borrowers  and  credit  concentrations  with 
specific borrowers, groups of borrowers, and industries. 

The  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  adjusted  by  direct  charges  to  provision  expense.  Losses  on  loans  are  charged  against  the 
allowance  for  loan  losses  in  the  accounting  period  in  which  they  are  determined  by  management  to  be  uncollectible. 
Recoveries  during  the  period  are  credited  to  the  allowance  for  loan  losses.  The  Bank  realized  no  provisions  and  negative 
provisions  of  $850,000  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2015  and  2014,  respectively.    During  2014  the  Bank  received 
several large recoveries, which were credited to the allowance.  The recoveries and the continued improvement in our credit 
related trends were the main contributors to the negative provisions in 2014.  The provision expense is determined by the 
Bank’s allowance for loan losses model.  The components of the model are specific reserves for impaired loans and a general 
allocation  for  unimpaired  loans.    The  general  allocation  has  three  components,  an  estimate  based  on  historical  loss 
experience, an additional estimate based on internal and external environmental factors due to the uncertainty of historical 
loss experience in predicting current embedded losses in the portfolio that will be realized in the future and an unallocated 
portion to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.     

In determining the general allowance allocation, the ratios from the actual loss history for the various categories are applied 
to the homogeneous pools of loans in each category.  

The portion of the general allocation on environmental factors includes estimates of losses related to the following: 

 Current national and local economic conditions 
 Composition of the nature and volume of the portfolio 
 Changes in the trend or volume of past due, watch list and classified loans 




The existence and effect of concentrations or changes in concentrations upon the portfolio 
The existence and effect of granularity in the size of credits in the portfolio 
The existence and effect of loan to values in excess of regulatory guidance – percentage of loans in each category 
with regulatory exceptions 

 Cumulative effect of other factors such as loan portfolio quality, underwriting strength and general determinations 

about the portfolio held by executive management. 

Markets served by the Bank continue to experience softening from the general economy and a stagnant real estate market.  
Other factors impacting the allowance at December 31, 2015 were watch list trends, unemployment rate trends, government 
spending expectations and underwriting and servicing assessments.   

During 2010 and 2011 the Bank charged-off approximately $2.4 million of principal of a $3.6 million construction loan due 
to  the  deteriorating  financial  condition  of  the  borrower  and  a  current  ruling  on  a  related  court  case.    In  2014  this  court 
ruling was overturned.  The borrower’s payment as a result of the court ruling resulted in a recovery of approximately $2.2 
million which increased the Bank’s allowance for loan losses and is included in recoveries on construction loans in the 2014 
table below.

Note 8 – Capital notes  

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2013,  the  Company  closed  the  private  placement  of  unregistered  debt  securities  (the  “2013 
Offering”)  pursuant  to  which  the  Company  issued  approximately  $11.3  million  in  principal  of  notes  (the  “2013  Notes”).  
The 2013 Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in 
the  United  States  absent  registration  or  an  applicable  exemption  from  registration  requirements.    The  2013  Notes  bear 
interest at the rate of 5% per year with interest payable quarterly in arrears.  The 2013 Notes mature on December 31, 2018, 
but are subject to prepayment in whole or in part on or after December 31, 2014 at the Company’s sole discretion on 30 
days written notice to the holders.  There are no assets pledged as collateral for the 2013 Notes.   

During 2015, the Company repaid $1.325 million of capital notes to accommodate investor’s liquidity needs and to reduce 
our debt service obligations.  $925,000 of the capital notes were redeemed at a premium price of 102%, equating to total 
premium paid of $18,500.  An additional $400,000 of capital notes were redeemed at the original investment price.   

Of these capital notes, $400,000 and $900,000 is due to executive officers and board members of the Bank as of December 
31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  Interest expense of $25,188 and $45,125 was paid to these related parties on the capital 
notes for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.   

Note 9 - Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings 

The Bank utilizes securities sold under agreement to repurchase to facilitate the needs of customers.  Securities sold under 
agreements to repurchase, are classified as secured borrowings, generally mature within one day from the transaction date. 
Securities  sold  under  agreements  to  repurchase  are  reflected  at  the  amount  of  cash  received  in  connection  with  the 
transaction.  The  average  interest  rate  was  0.27%  and  0.25%  during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2015  and  2014, 
respectively. 

The Bank monitors collateral levels on a continuous basis and maintains records of each transaction specifically describing 
the applicable security and the customer’s fractional interest in that security, and the Bank segregates the security from its 
general  assets  in  accordance  with  regulations  governing  custodial  holding  of  securities.    The  primary  risk  with  the  Bank’s 
repurchase agreements is market risk associated with the investments securing the transactions, as the Bank may be required 
to provide additional collateral based on  air value changes of  the underlying investments.  Securities pledged as collateral 
under  repurchase  agreements  are  maintained  with  the  Bank’s  safekeeping  agent.    The  carrying  value  of  available  for  sale 
investment  securities  pledged  as  collateral  under  repurchase  agreement  was  $4,090,844  and  $2,869,847  at  December  31, 
2015 and 2014, respectively.

Note 14 - Credit commitments and concentrations of credit risk 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds 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.    The  commitments  for  equity  lines  of  credit  may  expire  without  being  drawn  upon.    Therefore,  the  total 
commitment  amounts  do  not  necessarily  represent  future  cash  requirements.    The  amount  of  collateral  obtained,  if  it  is 
deemed necessary by the Bank, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer.  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 uncollateralized, usually do not contain a specified maturity 
date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Bank is committed. 

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of 
a  customer  to  a  third  party.    Those  letters  of  credit  are  primarily  issued  to  support  public  and  private  borrowing 
arrangements.  Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year.   

The  credit  risk  involved  in  issuing  letters  of  credit  is  essentially  the  same  as  that  involved  in  extending  loan  facilities  to 
customers.  The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary. 

The amounts of loan commitments, guarantees and standby letters of credit are set out in the following table as of December 
31,  2015  and  2014.    Because  many  commitments  and  almost  all  standby  letters  of  credit  and  guarantees  expire  without 
being  funded  in  whole  or  in  part,  the  contract  amounts  are  not  estimates  of  future  cash  flows.    A  summary  of  loan 
commitments and standby letters of credit is as follows: 

Loan commitments
Standby letters of credit and guarantees written

2015
 $     50,152,525 
 $          726,327 

2014
 $     49,689,725 
 $          300,038 

Standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2015 expire during 2016 and 2020.

Loan  commitments,  standby  letters  of  credit  and  written  guarantees  have  off-balance  sheet  credit  risk  because  only 
origination  fees  and  accruals  for  probable  losses,  if  any,  are  recognized  in  the  statements  of  financial  position  until  the 
commitments are fulfilled or the standby letters of credit or guarantees expire. Credit risk represents the accounting loss that 
would  be  recognized  at  the  reporting  date  if  counterparties  failed  completely  to  perform  as  contracted.    The  credit  risk 
amounts are equal to the contractual amounts, assuming that the amounts are fully advanced and collateral or other security 
is of no value. The Bank's policy is to require customers to provide collateral prior to the disbursement of approved loans.  
For retail loans, the Bank usually retains a security interest in the property or products financed, which provides repossession 
rights in the event of default by the customer.  For business loans and financial guarantees, collateral is usually in the form 
of inventory or marketable securities (held in trust) or property (notations on title). 

Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off-balance sheet) arising from financial instruments exist in relation to certain 
groups of customers.  A group concentration arises when a number of counterparties have similar economic characteristics 
that  would  cause  their  ability  to  meet  contractual  obligations  to  be  similarly  affected  by  changes  in  economic  or  other 
conditions.  A group concentration exists as most of the Bank's customers are located within southeastern Virginia. 

The  credit  risk  amounts  represent  the  maximum  accounting  loss  that  would  be  recognized  at  the  reporting  date  if 
counterparties failed completely to perform as contracted and any collateral or security proved to be of no value.  The Bank 
has experienced little difficulty in accessing collateral when required.

Note 15 - Regulatory matters 

The Bank is 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  Bank's  consolidated  financial  statements.    Under  capital 
adequacy  guidelines  and  the  regulatory  framework  for  prompt  corrective  action,  the  Bank  must  meet  specific  capital 
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated 
under  regulatory  accounting  practices.    The  Bank's  capital  amounts  and  classification  are  also  subject  to  qualitative 
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting, and other factors. 

In July 2013, the FDIC and other federal banking agencies approved the final rules implementing the Basel Committee on 
Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (commonly known as Basel III).  On January 1, 2015, the Company 
became subject to the Basel III Capital Rules which revises definitions of regulatory capital, the new minimum regulatory 
capital  ratios,  and  various  regulatory  capital  adjustments  and  deductions  according  to  transition  provision  and  timelines.  
The revised rules now require the bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of Common Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 
at least 4.5%, plus 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (conservation buffer will be phased in), (ii) minimum ratio of Tier 1 
capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, (iii) a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at 8.0%, and 
(iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%.  A transition period for the capital conservation buffer under Basel III for all banking 
organizations will begin on January 1, 2016 and end January 1, 2019.  The conservation buffer will begin at the 0.625% level 
and  be  phased  in  over  a  four-year  period  (increasing  on  each  subsequent  January  1,  until  it  reaches  2.5%  on  January  1, 
2019). 

Management believes, as of December 31, 2015, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. 

As  of  December  31,  2015,  the  most  recent  notification  from  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Board 
categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as 
well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, Common Equity risk-based, and Tier I 
leverage ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes 
have changed the institution's category.

The above tables set forth the capital position and analysis for the Bank only.  Because total assets on a consolidated basis 
are  less  than  $500  million,  the  Company  is  not  subject  to  the  consolidated  capital  requirements  imposed  by  the  Bank 
Holding  Company  Act.    Consequently,  the  Company  does  not  calculate  its  financial  ratios  on  a  consolidated  basis.    If 
calculated, the capital ratios for the Company on a consolidated basis would no longer be comparable to the capital ratios of 
the Bank because the proceeds of the capital notes do not qualify as equity capital on a consolidated basis.   

Note 16 - Fair value measurements  

The  Company  refers  to  the  Fair  Value  Measurements  and  Disclosures  Topic  of  the  FASB  Accounting  Standards 
Codification  (ASC  820)  to  record  fair  value  adjustments  to  certain  assets  and  liabilities  and  to  determine  fair  value 
disclosures.  This guidance clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount 
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.   

The  fair  market  value  measurement  specifies  a  hierarchy  of  valuation  techniques  based  on  whether  the  inputs  to  those 
valuation  techniques  are  observable  or  unobservable.  Observable  inputs  reflect  market  data  obtained  from  independent 
sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.  

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are based on these two types of inputs are as follows:  
   Level 1 –    Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. 

Level 2 –    Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and 

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

   Level 3 –    Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are 

unobservable in the market.

Note 16 - Fair value measurements (continued) 

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

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

The  following  table  presents  the  balances  of  available-for-sale  securities  measured  at  fair  value  on  a  recurring  basis  as  of

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

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

Impaired Loans - Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and 
events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. 
The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on the observable market price of the loan, the fair 
value  of  the  collateral  or  by  using  the  discounted  cash  flow  method.  Fair  value  is  measured  based  on  the  value  of  the 
collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, 
and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate.

Note 16 - Fair value measurements (continued) 

Impaired  Loans  (concluded)  -  The  value  of  real  estate  collateral  is  determined  utilizing  an  income  or  market  valuation 
approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company.  The Company 
records impaired loans secured by real estate as Level 3 assets.  The value of business equipment is based upon an outside 
appraisal  if  deemed  significant,  or  the  net  book  value  on  the  applicable  business’  financial  statements  if  not  considered 
significant  using  observable  market  data.  Likewise,  values  for  inventory  and  accounts  receivables  collateral  are  based  on 
financial statement balances or aging reports are recorded as Level 3 assets.  Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the 
period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Statements of Operations.  

Other  real  estate  owned  -  Other  real  estate  owned  is  considered  held  for  sale  and  is  adjusted  to  fair  value  less  estimated 
selling costs upon transfer of the loan to foreclosed assets. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised 
value  of  the  collateral  or  management’s  estimation  of  the  value  of  the  collateral.    The  Company  considers  the  other  real 
estate owned as nonrecurring Level 3.   

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

Note 17 - Stock incentive plan 

The Board approved a stock incentive plan effective January 1, 2007.  The plan authorizes the grant of awards for a period of 
ten  years.    The  number  of  shares  authorized  for  issuance  under  the  plan  is  limited  to  2.25%  of  the  total  authorized  and 
unissued  shares  of  common  stock.    Three  types  of  awards  may  be  granted  under  the  plan:  Incentive  Stock  Options, 
Nonqualified  Stock  Options  and  Restricted  Stock.    The  Bank  granted  restricted  stock  awards  during  2014.    The  Bank 
accounts  for  this  plan  in  accordance  with  the  Stock  Compensation  Topic  of  the  FASB  Accounting  Standards  Codification 
(ASC 718).  The non-vested equity share or non-vested equity share unit awarded to an employee is measured at its fair value 
on the grant date.  The compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period.

Note 17 - Stock incentive plan (concluded) 

The  fair  value  of  the  shares  of  restricted  stock  was  determined  by  an  outside  appraisal.  The  vesting  requirements  are  five 
years.    The  compensation  expense  recognized  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2015  and  2014  was  $48,000  and  $-0-, 
respectively.  Members of the Board of Directors of the Bank can elect to receive a portion or all of their director’s fees in 
the form of common stock.  During the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the expense related to these issuances was 
$40,600 and $30,000, respectively.   

A summary of the status of the non-vested shares in relation to our restricted stock awards as of December 31, 2015 and 
2014, and changes during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, is presented below; the weighted average price is
