Dear Shareholder,

As we prepare this year’s annual report we can not 
help but reflect on the year that will forever be 
remembered for many reasons; 2020. While the past 
year has been challenging for the banking industry 
we are very pleased to still report record earnings 
for the sixth consecutive year. Net income for 2020 
amounted to $5,405,629 or $1.74 per share, a 6.07% 
increase from the $5,096,105 or $1.65 per share, 
reported for 2019. Return on average assets of 1.05% 
for 2020 compared to the 2019 results of 1.10%. 
Return on average equity as of December 31, 2020 
was 8.70% as compared to 9.49% for the same period 
of the prior year. Return on average tangible common 
equity was 10.45% as of December 31, 2020 and 
compared to 11.27% as of December 31, 2019. 

While net income was increased Management and 
the Board of Directors felt it was prudent, given 
the economic and industry uncertainty through the 
year, to focus on capital preservation. Market rates 
on subordinated debt were attractive enough that 
we repaid the remaining $6 million outstanding on 
our 2017 capital notes and conducted a locally-based 
raise of $8.5 million, with a weighted average yield 
of 3.17% and weighted average life of just over six 
years. We believe this relatively affordable capital will 
position us for future expansions into new markets 
and new lines of business. Dividends increased slightly 
from $0.46 per share in 2019 to $0.48 per share in 
2020, contributing to a very consistent payout ratio. 

Our balance sheet was affected throughout the year 
by many of the COVID-19 related relief programs. 
We were honored to serve our small business 
customers through participating in the Small Business 
Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program. 

We provided over $25 million in PPP loans to 259 
customers during 2020. Due to this program’s success, 
our balance sheet took on a high level of liquidity as 
commercial customers were cautious with expansion 
and spending. We also saw an influx of consumer 
deposits from stimulus funds and an overall higher 
national savings rate. 

During 2020, we added $921 thousand to bolster 
the provision for loan losses. The uncertainty in the 
economic and regulatory environment drove the 
additional provision expense during the year. We were 
able to provide $37.6 million in 90 day COVID-19 
related payment deferrals to assist our customers, all 
have returned to normal payments after the deferral 
period. Our credit metrics continue to be favorable 
and align with our culture of being disciplined 
and purposeful with lending. While some of our 
customers have struggled during the pandemic, many 
have been able to successfully navigate the storm with 
the help of PPP funds, payment deferrals and hard 
work. The bank continues to assist customers in the 
most recent round of PPP loans providing 95 loans 
totaling $11.4 million through March 15, 2021.

Net interest income was negatively impacted by the 
abrupt decline in interest rates during the first quarter 
of 2020 and decreased 2.47% when compared to 
annualized results of 2019. While we had productive 
loan growth in some of our newer markets, several 
large loans to municipalities repaid during the year 
which affected net loan growth. Our inflated liquidity 
allowed us to have success lowering deposit costs 
from 0.63% as of December 31, 2019 to 0.38% as of 
December 31, 2020. However, given the already low 
cost of funds, we will likely not experience this same 
reduction going into 2021 and margins will continue 
to be compressed. 

Given the expectation that net interest margin 
compression will continue, we have remained focused 
on diversifying our revenue streams through other 
lines of business.  Our expansion into the insurance 
industry by investing in Manry Rawls Insurance and 
subsequent acquisitions has afforded an attractive 
return on our investment and provides additional 
services to offer our customers. The growth in the crop 

insurance segment of this agency has increased scale 
and profitability. The investment in Manry Rawls 
LLC provided the bank approximately $1.2 million in 
pretax income in 2020. Due to the strong homes sales 
market and mortgage refinances prompted by lower 
rates, our investment in Tidewater Home Funding 
contributed to improving earnings. That partnership 
contributed approximately $1.1 million in pretax 
income during 2020. Since 2016, non-interest income 
as a percent of total revenue has grown from 17.2% 
to 38.4% in 2020. We have been very intentional 
about the types of ancillary business lines we explore 
and even more selective on those organizations 
with which we decide to partner. This view allows 
these investments to be financially beneficial to the 
Company but also valuable to our customers and 
their long term relationships. We continue to explore 
investments in businesses that will provide non-
interest income to the bank and useful services to our 
customers. 

Non-interest expenses remained relatively flat when 
comparing 2020 to 2019. We continue to remain 
prudent with expenses in this low interest rate 
environment but are also committed to offering 
our customers technology and services that are 
convenient and useful. The pandemic has accelerated 
changes in the way customers conduct business with 
the bank. Use of online services by both consumer 
and commercial customers has increased. In order 
to protect customers and employees, we closed our 
branches to walk in traffic last March; servicing 
customers via drive-thru and appointment. While 
this decision caused minor inconveniences to some 
customers, many found more efficient ways to 
conduct business with us resulting in fewer branch 
visits than in the past. This is a trend we have seen 
over the past several years as more business of all types 
is conducted electronically. While customer behavior 

is changing, our staff and customers appreciate the 
in person interactions they have in our offices. As we 
move into the warmer months, encouraging news on 
the vaccine effort has us looking forward to opening 
branches when health conditions permit. 

Work has begun renovating our permanent location 
in the Pungo area of Virginia Beach. Our staff 
members in Pungo are currently operating out of 
a temporary location and have been successful in 
growing relationships in that area. We believe the 
move to a full service branch will further accelerate 
growth in that market and we are optimistic about the 
contribution this area can have to Farmers Bank.

As we look forward into 2021 and beyond we 
believe there is a bright future for Farmers Bank.  
The economy is projected to continue to improve 
throughout the year. Decisions made over the 
last several years have positioned the bank to take 
advantage of opportunities to grow loans, continue 
to invest in non-interest income sources and 
opportunistically grow our footprint. The bank is well 
capitalized, has ample liquidity and has the benefit of 
diverse income streams. The organization is staffed by 
a team of energetic, talented and caring individuals 
who are passionate about serving our customers and 
are committed to seeing the organization not simply 
survive but to thrive. 

While challenges remain, Farmers Bank remains 
committed to the customers and communities 
we serve. We remain committed to ensuring your 
investment in Farmers Bank is a rewarding one. Thank 
you for your continued confidence and support. 

Sincerely,

Richard J. Holland, Jr.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
For Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 

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.   Through its banking 
subsidiary,  formed  on  November  12,  1919,  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. 

The Bank purchased a 66% ownership interest in Manry Rawls, LLC (“Manry Rawls”) in May 2017.   Manry Rawls is a local 
and  independent  regional  insurance  agency  offering  a  wide  array  of  insurance  products.    In  January  2019,  the  Bank 
purchased  an  additional  five  percent  interest  in  Manry  Rawls.    This  additional  interest  made  the  Bank’s  total  ownership 
approximately  72%.      The  acquisition  was  accounted  for  as  a  business  combination  under  the  acquisition  method  of 
accounting  in  accordance  with  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“FASB”)  Accounting  Standards  Codification 
(“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations.   As such, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transactions were recorded at 
their respective fair values as of the acquisition date.   

During 2018, the Company acquired The Lankford Agency, an independent insurance agency, which was merged with the 
operations of Manry Rawls.   The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of 
accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and, as such, the assets acquired were recorded at their 
respective  fair  values  as  of  the  acquisition  date.    There  were  no  liabilities  assumed  with  this  purchase.  The  results  of 
operations  of  the  acquired  business  are  included  in  the  Company’s  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations  commencing 
October 1, 2018.   The total purchase price for the transaction was $200,000 in cash and contingent future payments with a 
net present value of $332,989.  The allocation of the purchase price resulted in goodwill of $296,111 and other intangible 
assets including customer lists of $236,879. 

During 2019, the Company acquired Carolina East Insurance, an independent insurance agency, which was merged with 
the operations of Manry Rawls.  The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method 
of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and as such, the assets acquired were recorded at their 
respective  fair  values  as  of  the  acquisition  date.    There  was  no  liabilities  assumed  with  this  purchase.    The  results  of 
operations  of  the  acquired  business  are  included  in  the  Company’s  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations  commencing 
January 2, 2019.  The total purchase price for the transaction was $1,150,000 in cash and contingent future payments with a 
net present value of $1,200,429 million.  The allocation of the purchase price resulted in goodwill of $1,219,429 and other 
intangible assets including customer lists of $1,131,000. 

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, its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank and Manry Rawls.  All significant intercompany 
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

Reclassification – Certain amounts in the 2019 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform 
to the 2020 presentation.  The reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity as previously 
reported. 

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 
2020 and 2019, the aggregate amount of daily-required balances was $-0- and $82,000, respectively. 

Investment securities - Investments in debt securities classified as held-to-maturity, if any, are stated at cost, and 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The Company 
held no such securities during the periods reported on in the financial statements. 

Debt securities 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations.  
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 debt 
securities  below  their  cost,  if  any,  are  included  in  earnings  as  realized  losses.  Other  than  temporarily  impaired  (“OTTI”) 
guidance for investments 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).  

Derivative financial instruments – Derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities and are recorded at fair value on 
the  Company’s  consolidated  balance  sheets.  The  accounting  for  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  derivatives  depends  on  the 
intended  use  of  the  derivative  and  resulting  designation.  The  Company’s  hedging  policies  permit  the  use  of  various 
derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk or to hedge specified assets and liabilities. 

To qualify for hedge accounting, derivatives must be highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being 
hedged  and  must  be  designated  as  a  hedge  at  the  inception  of  the  derivative  contract.  If  derivative  instruments  are 
designated as fair value hedges, and such hedges are highly effective, both the change in the fair value of the hedge and the 
hedged  item  are  included  in  current  earnings.  If  derivative  instruments  are  designated  as  cash  flow  hedges,  fair  value 
adjustments  related  to  the  effective  portion  are  recorded  in  other  comprehensive  income  and  are  reclassified  to  earnings 
when the hedged transaction is reflected in earnings. Ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are reflected in earnings as they 
occur.  Actual  cash  receipts  and/or  payments  and  related  accruals  on  derivatives  related  to  hedges  are  recorded  as 
adjustments to the interest income or interest expense  associated with the hedged item. During  the life of the hedge, the 
Company  formally  assesses  whether  derivatives  designated  as  hedging  instruments  continue  to  be  highly  effective  in 
offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of hedged items. If it is determined that a hedge has ceased to be highly 
effective, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. At such time, previous adjustments to the carrying 
value of the hedged item are reversed into current earnings and the derivative instrument is reclassified to a trading position 
recorded at fair value.

Derivative financial instruments (concluded) – For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized 
in earnings, in noninterest income.  For additional discussion related to the determination of fair value related to derivative 
instruments, see Note 4. 

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 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 less selling costs) 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. 

The CARES Act also established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which allocated funding for loans guaranteed by 
the Small Business Administration (“SBA”).  The program approves the SBA to forgive loans made by approved lenders to 
eligible borrowers for payroll, mortgage interest, rent and utilities. Due to the unique nature of these provisions, PPP loans 
have been disclosed as a separate balance sheet item.  PPP loans were evaluated separately for the allowance for loan losses 
given the explicit government guarantee.  This analysis, which incorporated historical industry experience with similar SBA 
guarantees and our personal experience with the beginning of the forgiveness process, concluded a remote likelihood of loss 
and therefore no allowance for loan losses has been assigned to these loans.   

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.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

Allowance for loan losses (concluded) - Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for 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 less selling costs 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.   

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  sell  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. 

Leases – On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” and all subsequent ASUs that 
modified Topic 842. The Company elected the optional transition method provided by ASU 2018-11 and did not adjust

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

Leases (concluded) – The Company also elected certain practical expedients within the standard and consistent with such 
elections  did  not  reassess  whether  any  expired  or  existing  contracts  are  or  contain  leases,  did  not  reassess  the  lease 
classification  for  any  expired  or  existing  leases,  and  did  not  reassess  any  initial  direct  costs  for  existing  leases.    The 
implementation of the new standard in 2019 resulted in recognition of a right-of-use asset of $657,157 and lease liability of 
$618,887 at the date of adoption, which is related to the Company’s lease of premises used in operations. The right-of-use 
asset and lease liability are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. 

Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the 
net  present  value  of  the  remaining  contractual  cash  flows.  Cash  flows  are  discounted  at  the  Company’s  incremental 
borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease.  Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the 
underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial 
direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor. 

The  Company’s  long-term  lease  agreements  are  classified  as  operating  leases.  Certain  of  these  leases  offer  the  option  to 
extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent 
the options are reasonably assured of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and 
have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations. Note 8 
provides additional information related to leases. 

Goodwill  and  other  intangibles  -  Goodwill  is  not  subject  to  amortization,  but  is  subject  to  an  annual  assessment  for 
impairment  by  applying  a  fair-value-based  test  as  required  by  ASC  350,  Goodwill  and  Other  Intangible  Assets.  Additionally, 
under  ASC  350,  acquired  intangible  assets  are  separately  recognized  if  the  benefit  of  the  assets  can  be  sold,  transferred, 
licensed, rented, or exchanged, and amortized over their useful life. 

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of September 30, or more often if events 
or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. Testing is conducted in two steps: identifying the potential impairment 
and then, if necessary, identifying the amount of impairment. The first step (step 1) compares the fair value of the reporting 
unit to its carrying amount. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a second test is conducted by comparing the 
implied  fair  value  of  goodwill  with  the  carrying  amount  of  that  goodwill.  If  the  carrying  amount  exceeds  the  implied  fair 
value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. For our annual impairment testing conducted 
during 2020, we identified one reporting unit with goodwill: Manry Rawls. For purposes of the goodwill impairment test, 
the Company primarily uses the qualitative approach to value the reporting unit. An initial qualitative evaluation is made to 
assess  the  likelihood  of  impairment  and  determine  whether  further  quantitative  testing  to  calculate  the  fair  value  is 
necessary.  When the qualitative evaluation indicates that impairment is more likely than not, quantitative testing is required 
whereby the fair value of each reporting unit is calculated and compared to the recorded book value.  Based on our analysis, 
we determined there is no goodwill impairment, since the fair value for the reporting unit was in excess of the respective 
reporting unit’s carrying value as of September 30, 2020.  

The second step (step 2) of impairment testing is necessary only if the reporting unit does not pass step 1. Step 2 compares 
the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill for the reporting unit. The 
implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as goodwill that is recognized in a business combination. 
Significant judgment and estimates are involved in estimating the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. 
Since the reporting unit did not fail step 1, step 2 was not applicable during 2020 testing. The Company monitored events 
and circumstances during the fourth quarter of 2020, and it determined that there were no triggering events requiring an 
updated impairment test as of December 31, 2020.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

Goodwill and other intangibles (concluded) - Significant judgment is applied when goodwill is assessed for impairment. This 
judgment  includes  developing  cash  flow  projections,  selecting  appropriate  discount  rates,  identifying  relevant  market 
comparables,  incorporating  general  economic  and  market  conditions,  and  selecting  an  appropriate  control  premium. 
Selection and weighting of the various fair value techniques may result in a higher or lower fair value. Judgment is applied in 
determining the weightings most representative of fair value. 

Intangible  assets  are  amortized  or  tested  for  impairment  based  on  whether  they  have  finite  or  indefinite  lives.  Intangibles 
that have finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life and tested for impairment whenever events or 
circumstances  indicate  the  carrying  amount  of  the  assets  may  not  be  recoverable.  The  useful  life  applied  to  amortize  the 
customer list intangible, which was created from the acquisition of Manry Rawls, is 15 years.  Note 9 provides additional 
information related to goodwill and other intangibles. 

Non-marketable equity securities - Equity securities are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in net income. 
Equity  securities  without  readily  determinable  fair  values  are  carried  at  cost,  minus  impairment,  if  any,  plus  or  minus 
changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment. On January 
1, 2018, the Company adopted a new accounting standard for Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-01), which requires equity 
investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the 
investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Upon adoption, equity securities 
previously classified as available for sale are presented separately on the balance sheet as Equity securities. The amount of 
unrealized  gain  (loss),  net  of  tax,  related  to  these  securities  was  reclassified  from  accumulated  other  comprehensive  to 
retained  earnings  as  of  January  1,  2018.  Upon  adoption,  the  amendments  related  to  equity  securities  without  readily 
determinable  fair  values  (including  disclosure  requirements)  are  being  applied  prospectively  to  equity  investments  that 
existed  at  January  1, 2018.   Because  of  the  redemption  provisions  of  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  (FRB)  and  Federal  Home 
Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, the Bank estimated that the fair value equaled or exceeded the cost of these investments and the 
investments  were  not  impaired.    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 2020 or 2019. 

Mergers and  acquisitions  -  Mergers  and  acquisitions  are  accounted  for  using  the  acquisition  method,  as  required  by  ASC 
805, Business Combinations. Under this method, the cost of the acquired entity will be allocated to the assets acquired and 
liabilities  assumed  based  on  their  fair  values  at  the  date  of  acquisition.  The  excess  of  the  cost  over  the  fair  value  of  the 
acquired net assets is recognized as goodwill.  

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 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, 2020 and 2019.   
The years ending on or after December 31, 2017 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.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

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 and annuity contracts to fund the expected liabilities under 
the contracts. 

Revenue recognition on insurance contracts – Insurance commission income is recorded as of the effective date of insurance 
coverage  or  the  billing  date,  whichever  is  later.  Contingent  commissions  are  recognized  when  determinable,  which  is 
generally when such commissions are received or when the Company receives data from the insurance companies that allows 
the reasonable estimation of these amounts. The income effects of subsequent premium and fee adjustments are recorded 
when the adjustments become known. 

Earnings  per  common  share  -  Basic  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  is  computed  by  dividing  income  available  to  common 
shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects 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. 

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.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

Estimation of fair values (concluded) - 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  FHLB 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 allowance may be necessary 
based  on  changes  in  local  economic  conditions  and  other  factors.    Management  believes  the  allowance  recorded  at 
December 31, 2020 and 2019 is sufficient to cover inherent losses in the portfolio. 

Impact of COVID-19 - On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) 
was  signed  into  law.    The  CARES  Act  was  designed  to  provide financial  relief  to  the  American  people  and  businesses  in 
response  to  the  economic  consequences  from  the  COVID-19  pandemic.    The  provisions  of  the  CARES  Act  included  an 
election  to  not  apply  the  guidance  on  accounting  for  troubled  debt  restructurings  to  loan  modifications  related  to  the 
adverse  effects  of  COVID-19  granted  to  borrowers  that  were  current  as  of  December  31,  2019.    The  relief  applies  to 
modifications made from March 1, 2020, until the earlier of December 31, 2020, or 60 days following the termination of 
the national emergency declared by the President of the United States.  The Company elected to adopt these provisions of 
the CARES Act.  The Company made 66 loan modifications that totaled $37.6 million pursuant to the terms of the CARES 
Act Section 4013 and as of December 31, 2020 all loans had returned to their contractual payment structure.   

The  CARES  Act  also  established  PPP  loans,  which  allocated  funding  for  loans  guaranteed  by  the  SBA.    The  program 
approves the SBA to forgive loans made by approved lenders to eligible borrowers for payroll, mortgage interest, rent and 
utilities. Due to the unique nature of these provisions, PPP loans have been disclosed as a separate balance sheet item.   

Recent  accounting  pronouncements  -  In  June  2016,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2016-13,  “Financial  Instruments  –  Credit 
Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.”  The amendments in this ASU, among other 
things, require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical 
experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will 
now  use  forward-looking  information  to  better  inform  their  credit  loss  estimates.  Many  of  the  loss  estimation  techniques 
applied  today  will  still  be  permitted,  although  the  inputs  to  those  techniques  will  change  to  reflect  the  full  amount  of 
expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and 
purchased  financial  assets  with  credit  deterioration.  At  the  FASB’s  October  16,  2019  meeting,  the  Board  affirmed  its 
decision to amend the effective date of this ASU for many companies.   As a result of this meeting FASB issued ASU 2019-
10  in  November  2019.    This  ASU  provides  guidance  to  defer  the  effective  dates  for  private  companies,  non-for-profit 
organizations,  and  certain  smaller  reporting  companies  applying  standards  on  current  expected  credit  losses,  leases,  and 
hedging.    Based  on  the  ASU,  the  Company  expects  this  ASU  will  be  effective  for  the  Company  beginning  on  January  1, 
2023.  The Company has engaged a third party to assist with implementation and is continuing to evaluate the impact that 
ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

Recent  accounting  pronouncements  (concluded)  -  In  January  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2017-04,  Intangibles  – 
Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for Goodwill Impairment.  This ASU is intended to simplify goodwill 
impairment  testing  by  eliminating  the  second  step  of  the  analysis  under  which  the  implied  fair  value  of  goodwill  is 
determined as if the reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination.  The update instead requires entities to 
compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for any amount by 
which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, to the extent that the loss recognized does not exceed the 
amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.  The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 
15, 2021.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect the amendments to the standard to have a material 
effect on its consolidated financial statements. 

In  May  2019,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2019-05,  “Financial  Instruments—Credit  Losses  (Topic  326):  Targeted  Transition 
Relief.”  The amendments in this ASU provide entities that have certain instruments within the scope of Subtopic 326-20 
with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis 
for eligible instruments, upon the adoption of Topic 326.  The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity 
debt securities.  An entity that elects the fair value option should subsequently measure those instruments at fair value with 
changes in fair value flowing through earnings.  The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 
2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The amendments should be applied on a modified-retrospective basis by 
means  of  a  cumulative-effect  adjustment  to  the  opening  balance  of  retained  earnings  balance  in  the  consolidated  balance 
sheet.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect the amendments to the standard to have a material effect 
on its consolidated financial statements. 

Other  accounting  standards  that  have  been  issued  or  proposed  by  the  FASB  or  other  standards-setting  bodies  are  not 
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020 

In  April  2019,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2019-04,  “Codification  Improvements  to  Topic  326,  Financial  Instruments—Credit 
Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.”  This ASU clarifies and improves areas 
of guidance related to the recently issued standards on credit losses, hedging, and recognition and measurement including 
improvements  resulting  from  various  Transition  Resource  Group  (or  TRG)  Meetings.   The  amendments  related  to  credit 
losses will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within 
those fiscal years.  The amendments related to recognition and measurement of financial instruments become effective for 
the  Company  on  January  1,  2020.    These  amendments  did  not  have  a  material  effect  on  the  Company’s  financial 
statements.

State and municipal securities - 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  mortgage-backed  securities  and  collateralized  mortgage  obligations  -  The  Company’s  unrealized  losses  on  residential 
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.  The Company’s mortgage-related 
securities  are  backed  by  the  Federal  National  Mortgage  Association  (“FNMA”)  and  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Mortgage 
Corporation (“FHLMC”), which are Government Sponsored Entities (“GSE”) or are collateralized by securities backed  by 
these agencies. The Company intends 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.    Because  of  the 
preceding factors the Company does not consider these investments other than temporarily impaired.      

Small  Business  Administration  loan  securities  -  The  Company’s  unrealized  losses  on  small  business  administration  loans  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.      

At  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  securities  with  a  carrying  value  of  approximately  $54,898,106  and  $55,908,435, 
respectively, were pledged to the Commonwealth of Virginia to secure public deposits.  In addition, at December 31, 2020 
and 2019, securities with a carrying value of $3,312,240 and $3,754,145, respectively, were pledged to the FHLB to secure 
advances.    Investment  securities  with  carrying  values  of  $8,011,482  and  $6,340,534  were  pledged  to  secure  repurchase 
agreements at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 4 – Derivatives  

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk – The Company’s objective in using certain interest rate derivatives are to add stability 
to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements.  To accomplish this objective, the Company may 
use interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges 
involved the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over 
the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.   

The Company entered into an interest rate swap during 2020 to reduce the exposure to variability in interest-related cash 
outflows  attributable  to  changes  in  forecasted  rates  on  short-term  FHLB  borrowings.    These  derivative  instruments  are 
designed as cash flow hedges.  The hedged item is the LIBOR portion of the series of future adjustable rate borrowings over 
the  term  of  the  interest  rate  swap.    Accordingly,  changes  to  the  amount  of  interest  payment  cash  flows  for  the  hedged 
transaction attributable to a change in credit risk are excluded from our assessment of hedge effectiveness.  The Company 
tests  for  hedging  effectiveness  on  a  quarterly  basis.    The  effective  portion  of  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  derivatives 
designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently

Note 4 – Derivatives (concluded)  

reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.  The ineffective portion of the 
change  in  fair  value  of  the  derivatives  is  recognized  directly  in  earnings.    The  Company  has  not  recorded  any  hedge 
ineffectiveness since inception.  The notional amount and fair value of the swap as of December 31, 2020 was $10,000,000 
and $56,295, respectively. 

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives – When using derivatives to hedge cash flow risks, the Company exposes itself 
to potential credit risk from the counterparty to the hedging instrument.  This credit risk is normally a small percentage of 
the notional amount and fluctuates as interest rates change.  The Company analyzes and approves credit risk for all potential 
derivative  counterparties  prior  to  execution  of  any  derivative  transaction.    The  Company  seeks  to  minimize  credit  risk  by 
dealing with highly rate counterparties and by obtaining collateralization for exposures above certain predetermined limits.  
If  significant  counterparty  risk  is  determined,  the  Company  would  adjust  the  fair  value  of  the  derivative  recorded  asset 
balance to consider such risk.   

Note 5 – Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program Loans Receivable  

Pursuant  to  the  CARES  Act,  the  SBA  provided  forgivable  loans  to  small  businesses  through  the  Paycheck  Protection 
Program.  These loans have 2 and 5 year terms, an interest rate of 1.00% and carry a 100% guarantee of the SBA.  Due to 
the  guarantee  of  the  SBA,  these  loans  require  no  provision  of  loan  loss.    The  Bank  processed  259  Paycheck  Protection 
Program loans, which totaled $24.9 million in approvals from the SBA.  During the third quarter of 2020 the SBA began 
accepting applications from borrowers for forgiveness of PPP loans.  As of December 31, 2020 the Bank had received $7.6 
million in payments on 45 loans being fully forgiven.  There were 214 PPP loans remaining with a recorded investment of 
$17.0 million as of December 31, 2020.   The Bank received $1.04 million in loan fees from the SBA associated with the 
processing of PPP loans.  Any loan fees received and associated costs incurred were accounted for in the same manner as 
other loans and were deferred with income recognized over the original two year term.  As loans are forgiven and repaid by 
the SBA, the Bank recognizes any remaining loan fees and costs at the time of forgiveness.  As of December 31, 2020 the 
Bank  had  recognized  $556  thousand  in  loan  fees  and  had  $483  thousand  in  deferred  loans  fees  remaining  that  were 
associated with PPP loans.

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

Construction/development lending totaled $29.3 million and $41.1 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 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 $31.1 million and $34.8 million at December 31, 2020 and 
2019, respectively.  

Commercial real estate loans totaled $108.9 million and $83.9 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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. 

Multifamily  loans  totaled  $5.7  million  and  $4.4  million  at  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  respectively.    These  loans  are 
residential housing projects containing five or more rental units.  Traditional multifamily projects charge market rents and 
are located in both city and suburban markets.  Equity lines of credit are open-ended revolving lines of credit secured by the

equity in a borrower’s residence.  Equity lines of credit totaled $9.2 million and $11.1 million at December 31, 2020 and 
2019, respectively.    

Commercial  and  Industrial  Loans  -  At  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  the  Bank’s  commercial  loan  portfolio  totaled  $52.8 
million and $58.0 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 $24.5 million and $24.6 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 $6.3 million and $8.6 million at December 
31,  2020  and  2019,  respectively.    Overdrafts  totaling  $12  thousand  and  $37  thousand  at  December  31,  2020  and  2019, 
respectively, were reclassified from deposits to loans and are also classified in loans to individuals.  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.   

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  high-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. 

 “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:

Note 6 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (continued) 

  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 
  Lack of well-defined secondary repayment source, and 
  Unfavorable competitive comparisons. 

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

Note 6 - 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 Allowance 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 was one loan with a balance of 
$196,256 that was past due over 90 days accruing interest as of December 31, 2020.  There were no financing receivables 
past  due  over  90  days  accruing  interest  as  of  December  31,  2019.      Nonaccrual  loans  as  of  December  31,  2020  totaled 
$171,515, or 0.06% of total loans, compared with $753,206, or 0.28% of total loans, as of December 31, 2019.  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, 2020 and 2019 was 4 and 7, respectively. 

For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  the  Bank  recognized  $-0-  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 $14,310 and $16,967 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

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, 2020 and 2019, the following table presents a breakdown of the types of concession made 
by loan class:

Note 6 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (continued) 

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 2020 or 2019. Within the last 12 months, no loans that 
were  restructured  in  2020  or  2019,  subsequently  defaulted  and  were  foreclosed  upon.    These  modifications  resulted  in 
specific  reserves  in  the  Bank’s  allowance  for  loan  losses  of  $-0-  and  $-0-  thousand  as  of  December  31,  2020  and  2019, 
respectively.    

There are no TDRs that are on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2020.   There was one TDR that was on non-accrual 
status  and  had  an  unpaid  principal  balance  of  $146,952  as  of  December  31,  2019.  Five  TDRs  with  a  current  principal 
balance of $634,088 and eight TDRs with current principal balance of $1,000,082 were considered performing loans and 
are accruing interest based on their sustained payment performance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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.  

Section 403 of the CARES Act provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a TDR as 
defined by GAPP, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 
days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak declared by the President of the 
United States under the National Emergencies Act terminates.  Accordingly, we offered short-term modifications made in 
response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current and otherwise not past due during 2020.  All modified loans have 
returned to their contractual payment schedule.  Management will continue to review risk grades and update credit risk if 
additional modifications are needed.    

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 $2,135,524 and $3,285,534 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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.

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 provisions of $921,000 and $-0- 
for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  respectively.    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.

Note 6 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)  

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 some uncertainty from the general economy, a slow real estate market 
and many businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Other factors impacting the allowance at December 31, 2020 
were  watch  list  trends,  unemployment  rate  trends,  government  spending  expectations  and  underwriting  and  servicing 
assessments.   

The following table’s present changes in the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

The  Company’s  long-term  lease  agreements  are  classified  as  operating  leases.  Certain  of  these  leases  offer  the  option  to 
extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent 
the options are reasonably assured of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and 
have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

Note 12 – Capital notes  

During the second quarter of 2017, the Company closed the private placement of unregistered debt securities (the “2017 
Offering”) pursuant to which the Company issued $6.0 million in principal of notes (the “2017 Notes”).  The 2017 Notes 
were  not  registered  under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933  and  could  not  be  offered  or  sold  in  the  United  States  absent 
registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.  The 2017 Notes bore interest at the rate of 3.25% 
per year with interest payable quarterly in arrears.  The 2017 Notes had a maturity date of March 31, 2022, but were subject 
to prepayment in whole or in part on or after March 31, 2018 at the Company’s sole discretion on 30 days written notice to 
the holders.  There were no assets pledged as collateral for the 2017 Notes.   

In the third quarter of 2020, the Company closed the private placement of unregistered debt securities (the “2020 Offering”) 
pursuant to which the Company issued $8.5 million in principal of notes comprised of two different maturity and rate terms 
(the “2020 Notes A” and “2020 Notes B”).  The 2020 Notes A and B 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  2020  Notes  A  and  2020  Notes  B  bear  interest  at  the  rate  of  3.00%  and  3.25%, 
respectively, per year with interest payable quarterly in arrears.  The 2020 Notes A and 2020 Notes B mature on August 14, 
2025 and August 14, 2027, respectively.  Both notes permit prepayment in whole or in part on or after August 16, 2021 at 
the Company’s sole discretion on 30 days  written notice to the holders.  There are no assets pledged as collateral for the 
2020  Notes  A  or  2020  Notes  B.    Of  these  capital  notes,  $160  thousand  and  $-0-  is  due  to  executive  officers  and  board 
members of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.   

During  2020,  the  Company  fully  repaid  the  outstanding  balance  of  the  2017  Notes  totaling,  $6.0  million  at  the  original 
investment price to extend the term of the capital structure.  

There was $1,200 and $-0- interest expense paid to these related parties on the capital notes for the years ended December 
31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 13 - Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings (continued) 

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  $8,011,482  and  $6,340,534  at  December  31, 
2020 and 2019, respectively.

During  2020,  the  Company  prepaid  $15.0  million  in  FHLB  advances  with  a  weighted  average  rate  of  2.00%.    These 
advances were paid prior to their maturity date in order to enhance future earnings by way of reduction in interest expense.  
These repayments resulted in a prepayment penalty on borrowings equaling $78,313.  During 2019, the Company repaid 
$10.0 million in FHLB advances at the maturity date with no penalties incurred.   

Note 14 - Employee benefit plans 

Profit sharing plan - The Company has a profit sharing plan covering substantially all employees. Contributions to the plan 
are determined annually by the Compensation Committee and are the lesser of 10% of the participants' base compensation 
or 10% of the net income of the Company.  Employee benefits expense included $545,000 and $534,705 for the plan for 
2020 and 2019, respectively. 

Post-retirement  benefits  -  The  Company  has  entered  into  deferred  compensation  arrangements  with  certain  key  personnel 
which call for the payment of benefits upon the retirement or death of the individuals.  In 2016, the Company amended 
one  of  these  plans  and  froze  the  other  plan  while  creating  a  new  plan  for  this  executive,  such  that  upon  the  executives’ 
retirement, the Company will provide for a monthly retirement payment for their lifetime.  The agreements provide that a 
retirement benefit is payable upon a defined normal retirement age while in service to the Company and a lesser benefit is 
payable upon early retirement.  Other benefits are payable upon disability, death or change in control. 

The agreements are unfunded arrangements maintained primarily to provide supplemental retirement benefits and comply 
with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.   

However, the Company has elected to finance the retirement benefits by purchasing annuities that have been designed to 
provide a future source of funds for the lifetime retirement benefits of the agreements.  The primary impetus for utilizing 
these  annuities  is  a  substantial  savings  in  compensation  expense  for  the  Company  as  opposed  to  a  typically  designed 
supplemental retirement plan. 

The liabilities associated with these deferred compensation arrangements were $1,721,538 and $1,623,228 as of December 
31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  The annuity had a balance of $2,862,424 and $2,913,142 as of December 31, 2020 and 
2019,  respectively,  and  is  recorded  at  amortized  cost.    Salaries  and  employee  benefits  expense  included  $123,310  and 
$127,248 of expense related to these arrangements for 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 15 - Income taxes (concluded) 

In  assessing  the  realizability  of  deferred  tax  assets,  management  considers  whether  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  some 
portion  or  all  of  the  deferred  tax  asset  will  not  be  realized.    Management  considers  recoverable  taxes  paid  in  prior  years, 
projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  It is management’s belief that the 
realization of the net deferred tax assets is more likely than not. 

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.   

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns with the federal government.   With few exceptions, the Company 
is no longer subject to federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2017. 

Note 16 - Related party transactions 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has loan and deposit transactions with its executive officers and directors, 
and  with  companies  in  which  the  officers  and  directors  have  a  significant  financial  interest.    These  transactions  are  at 
substantially the same rates as similarly situated customers.  A summary of related party loan activity during 2020 and 2019 
is as follows: 

Beginning balance
Originations
Repayments
Ending balance 

2020
 $     7,165,329

        2,930,229 
       (1,189,445)
 $     7,165,329 

Commitments to extend credit to related parties amounted to $7,219,970 and $4,159,585 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 
respectively. 

Deposits from related parties held by the Bank amounted to $12,287,475 and $11,372,117 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 
respectively. 

The Bank currently has loans outstanding to Manry Rawls, LLC with a current principal balance of $72,109 and $845,567 
as  of  December  31,  2020  and  2019,  respectively.    These  loans  are  eliminated  in  consolidation.    These  loans  are  at 
substantially the same terms as similarly situated customers.  

Note 17 - 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.

Note 17 - Credit commitments and concentrations of credit risk (concluded) 

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 Bank also has commitments, as detailed below, to invest in a private investment fund that focuses on investments and 
partnerships with middle market businesses that need capital for growth.   

The amounts of loan commitments, guarantees and standby letters of credit are set out in the following table as of December 
31,  2020  and  2019.    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,  as  well  as  capital  commitments  to  investment  funds  in  which  the  Company 
invests are as follows: 

Loan commitments

Standby letters of credit and guarantees written

Capital commitment to private investment funds

2020
 $     77,576,165 

2019
 $     75,870,889 

           6,628,859 

           6,802,069 

           3,500,000 

           4,100,000 

Standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2020 expire between 2021 and 2023.

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 18 - 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 Bank 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 began on January 1, 2016 and ended on January 1, 2019.  
The conservation buffer began at the 0.625% level and was phased in over a four-year period (increasing on each subsequent 
January 1, reaching 2.5% on January 1, 2019).   

Management believes, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to  which it is 
subject. 

As  of  December  31,  2020,  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 $1 billion, 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 18 - 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 19 - 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.  

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 presents the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company's financial instruments as of December 31, 
2020  and  2019.    FASB  Accounting  Standards  Codification’s  Financial  Instruments  (ASC  825),  defines  the  fair  value  of 
financial instruments as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing 
parties,  other  than  in  a  forced  or  liquidation  sale.    The  carrying  amounts  in  the  table  are  included  in  the  balance  sheets 
under  the  indicated  captions.    The  capital  notes  are  valued  at  amortized  cost  based  on  the  lack  of  marketability  due  to 
transfer restrictions.

The  Company’s  shareholders  approved  a  stock  incentive  plans  effective  January  1,  2018  and  previously  January  1,  2007.  
The  plans  authorize  the  grant  of  awards  for  a  period  of  ten  years,  which  expires  on  December  31,  2028  and  previously 
December 31, 2017.  The number of shares authorized for issuance under both of the plans is limited to 2.25% of the total 
authorized and unissued shares of common stock.  Three types of awards may be granted under the plans: Incentive Stock 
Options, Nonqualified Stock Options and Restricted Stock.  The Company granted restricted stock awards during 2020 and 
2019.    The  Company  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.   

The  vesting  requirements  range  from  three  to  four  years.    The  compensation  expense  recognized  for  the  years  ended 
December  31,  2020  and  2019  was  $231,749  and  $220,155,  respectively.    Members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Company 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, 2020 and 2019, the expense related to these issuances was $66,525 and $82,525, respectively.

  Note 23 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers  

All  of  the  Company’s  revenue  from  contracts  with  customers  in  the  scope  of  ASC  606  is  recognized  within  Non-Interest 
Income.  A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 is as follows:   

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts - Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned 
on  analyzed  business  and  public  checking  accounts),  monthly  service  fees,  and  other  deposit  account  related  fees.  The 
Company's performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related 
revenue  recognized,  over  the  period  in  which  the  service  is  provided.  Other  deposit  account  related  fees  are  largely 
transactional based, and therefore, the Company's performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a 
point in time.  Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month 
through a direct charge to customers' accounts. 

Other Service Charges, Commissions and Fees- Other service charges, commissions and fees are primarily comprised of debit card 
income,  ATM  fees,  merchant  services  income,  and  other  service  charges.  Debit  card  income  is  primarily  comprised  of

Note 23 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (concluded) 

Company  ATM.  Merchant  services  income  mainly  represents  fees  charged  to  merchants  to  process  their  debit  and  credit 
card  transactions,  in  addition  to  account  management  fees.  Other  service  charges  include  revenue  from  processing  wire 
transfers,  safe  deposit  box  rentals,  cashier's  checks,  and  other  services.  The  Company's  performance  obligation  for  other 
service charges, commission and fees are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or 
upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. 

Insurance  Commissions  -  Insurance  income  primarily  consists  of  commissions  received  on  insurance  product  sales.  The 
Company acts as an intermediary between the Company’s customer and the insurance carrier. The Company’s performance 
obligation  is  generally  satisfied  upon  the  issuance  of  the  insurance  policy.  Shortly  after  the  insurance  policy  is  issued,  the 
carrier remits the commission payment to the Company, and the Company recognizes the revenue. 

Gain on Sales of OREO - The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of other real estate owned when control of the 
property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed.  When the Company finances the 
sale  of  other  real  estate  owned  to  the  buyer,  the  Company  assesses  whether  the  buyer  is  committed  to  perform  their 
obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable.  Once these criteria are met, 
the other real estate owned asset is derecognized and the gain on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property 
to the buyer.  In determining the gain on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain on sale if a 
significant financing component is present.  

The  following  table  presents  the  Company’s  sources  of  Non-Interest  Income  for  the  twelve  months  ended  December  31, 
2020 and 2019.  Items outside the scope of ASC 606 are noted as such.

On  January  1,  2019,  the  Company  recorded  a  net  increase  to  beginning  retained  earnings  of  $1,456,160  due  to  the 
cumulative  impact  of  adopting  the  standard.    The  adoption  did  not  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  Company’s 
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  and,  as  a  result,  comparisons  of  revenues  and 
operating profit performance between periods are not materially affected by the adoption of this ASU. 

Note 24 – Subsequent events 

The  Company  has  evaluated  subsequent  events  through  March  9,  2021,  in  connection  with  the  preparation  of  these 
financial  statements  which  is  the  date  the  financial  statements  were  available  to  be  issued.    On  February  26,  2021,  The 
Company  elected  to  terminate  its  interest  rate  swap  agreement  and  unwind  the  derivative  held.    As  a  result  of  the 
termination,  the  Company  received  a  termination  payment  of  $427,850.    This  gain  will  be  recognized  into  income 
immediately following the termination.  The event did not have a material impact on the fair presentation of the financial 
statements as of December 31, 2020.
