PART I  

Unless the context suggests otherwise, the use of the terms “First Community,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” in this Annual Report on 
Form 10-K refer to First Community Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity.  

Item 1. 

Business. 

Corporate Overview  

First Community Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), a financial holding company, was founded in 1989 and incorporated under the laws of 
Nevada in 1997. The Company provides banking products and services through its wholly-owned subsidiary First Community Bank (the 
“Bank”), a Virginia-chartered banking institution founded in 1874. The Bank operates under the trade names First Community Bank in 
Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina and Peoples Community Bank, a Division of First Community Bank, in Tennessee and South 
Carolina.  

The Company provides insurance services through its wholly-owned, full-service insurance agency subsidiary Greenpoint Insurance Group, 
Inc. (“Greenpoint”), acquired in 2007. Greenpoint operates under the Greenpoint name and under the trade names First Community Insurance 
Services (“FCIS”) and Carolina Insurers Associates in North Carolina, Carr & Hyde Insurance and FCIS in Virginia, and FCIS in West 
Virginia. During 2013 we purchased one insurance agency. See Note 2, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this report.  

In addition, the Bank offers wealth management and investment advice through its wholly-owned subsidiary First Community Wealth 
Management and the Bank’s Trust Division. The Company is the common stockholder of FCBI Capital Trust (the “Trust”), which was created 
in October 2003 to issue trust preferred securities to raise capital for the Company.  

Our focus is on organic growth that may be supplemented by strategic acquisitions.  

The Company is a legal entity that is separate and distinct from its affiliates. As a financial holding company, the Company is required to act as 
a source of financial strength for its subsidiary bank. The Company’s principal source of revenue is derived from dividends paid from the Bank, 
which are subject to certain restrictions by regulatory agencies and determined in relation to earnings, asset growth, and capital position. For 
additional information see “Regulation and Supervision” below.  

Operations  

We operate in one business segment, Community Banking, which consists of commercial and consumer banking, lending activities, wealth 
management, and insurance services. Our principal executive office is located at One Community Place, Bluefield, Virginia. As of 
December 31, 2013, our Community Banking operations were conducted through 80 locations in 5 states: Virginia, West Virginia, North 
Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. We serve a diverse base of individuals and businesses that include a variety of industries, such as 
manufacturing, mining services, construction, retail, healthcare, military, and transportation. We have no material concentrations of deposits or 
loans from any single customer or industry. See Item 6, “Selected Financial Data,” in Part II of this report for a summary of our financial 
performance.  

We offer a wide range of services and products to our customers that include:  

• 

• 

• 

   demand deposit accounts, savings and money market accounts, certificates of deposit, and individual retirement arrangements;  
   commercial, consumer, and real estate mortgage loans, and lines of credit;  
   various credit card, debit card, and automated teller machine card services;

Table of Contents  

• 

• 

• 

   corporate and personal trust services;  
   investment management services; and  
   life, health, and property and casualty insurance products.  

Employees  

We had 729 full-time equivalent employees as of December 31, 2013. No employees are represented by collective bargaining agreements, and 
management considers employee relations to be excellent.  

Competition  

The financial services industry is highly competitive and there is substantial competition in attracting deposit and loan relationships in our 
market areas. The ability of non-bank financial entities to provide services previously reserved for commercial banks has intensified 
competition. We compete with other commercial banks and financial service providers, including thrifts, savings and loan associations, credit 
unions, consumer finance companies, commercial finance and leasing companies, securities firms, brokerage firms, and insurance companies. 
Competition for deposits generally comes from other commercial banks, savings institutions, credit unions, mutual funds, and other investment 
alternatives. The primary factors that influence our ability to attract and retain deposits include interest rates, personalized services, quality and 
variety of financial offerings, convenience of office locations, automated services, and office hours. Competition for commercial and business 
loans generally comes from other commercial banks and commercial finance and leasing companies while competition for mortgage loans 
primarily comes from other commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking firms, mortgage brokers, and insurance companies. The 
primary factors that influence our ability to originate loans include interest rates, loan origination fees, quality and variety of lending offerings, 
and personalized services. Our competitors may have greater resources and higher lending limits that allow for services to be offered that we do 
not provide. Competition could also intensify in the future as a result of general and local economic conditions, industry consolidation, bank 
failures, technological developments, and banking regulatory reform. See “Competition” in the “Executive Overview” section in Part II, Item 7 
of this report.  

Available Information  

Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are required to file annual, quarterly, and current reports; 
proxy statements; and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Any document we file with the SEC may 
be read and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at (800) SEC-0330 
for further information about the public reference room. The SEC maintains a website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and 
information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.  

Our website, www.fcbinc.com, makes available, free of charge, our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current 
Reports on Form 8-K, and other information, including any amendments thereto, as soon as reasonably practicable after we file such reports 
with, or furnish them to, the SEC. Investors are encouraged to access these reports and other information about our business. Information 
regarding our Board of Directors, executive officers, and corporate governance policies and principles is included on our website and includes 
the Standards of Conduct governing the Company’s directors, officers, and employees; the charters of the standing committees of the 
Company’s Board of Directors; and the Company’s Insider Trading and Disclosure Policy. Additional information found on our website is not 
part of this report.  

Regulation and Supervision  

Banks and financial holding companies operate in a highly regulated industry and are subject to examination, supervision, and comprehensive 
regulation under applicable federal and state laws and various regulatory agencies. Regulations are intended primarily for the protection of 
depositors, the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”)  

5  

   
   
   
  
  
  
Table of Contents  

of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), and the banking system as a whole and are generally not for the protection of 
stockholders or creditors. Banking agencies have broad enforcement powers over banks and financial holding companies to impose substantial 
fines and penalties for violations of laws and regulations.  

The following discussion summarizes certain laws, rules, and regulations that affect our Company. These summaries are not intended to be 
complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the applicable statute or regulation. A change in laws, rules, and regulations may 
have a material effect on our Company.  

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act  

On July 21, 2010, sweeping financial regulatory reform legislation entitled the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act 
(the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act implements far-reaching changes across the financial regulatory landscape, 
including the following provisions:  

• 

• 

• 

   • 

   • 

• 

• 

• 

   Centralizes responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the 
“CFPB”), responsible for implementing, examining and enforcing compliance with federal consumer financial laws.  
   Requires financial holding companies, such as the Company, to be well capitalized and well managed as of July 21, 2011. Bank holding 
companies and banks must also be well capitalized and well managed to engage in interstate bank acquisitions.  
   Imposes comprehensive regulation of the over-the-counter derivatives market, which would include certain provisions that would 
effectively prohibit insured depository institutions from conducting certain derivatives businesses in the institutions themselves.  
   Implements corporate governance revisions, including executive compensation and proxy access by shareholders.  
   Makes permanent the $250 thousand limit for federal deposit insurance.  
   Repeals the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest 
on business transaction and other accounts.  
   Amends the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to, among other things, give the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the 

“Federal Reserve”) the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card 
issuers having assets over $10 billion and enforces a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual 
cost of a transaction to the issuer.  
   Increases the authority of the Federal Reserve to examine bank holding companies, such as the Company, and their non-bank 
subsidiaries.  

Another section of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act (the “Mortgage Reform Act”), contains new 
underwriting and servicing standards for the mortgage industry, as well as restrictions on compensation for mortgage originators. In addition, 
the Mortgage Reform Act grants broad discretionary regulatory authority to the CFPB to prohibit or condition terms, acts, or practices relating 
to residential mortgage loans that the CFPB finds abusive, unfair, deceptive, or predatory, as well as to take other actions that the CFPB finds 
are necessary or proper to ensure that responsible affordable mortgage credit remains available to consumers. The Dodd-Frank Act also 
contains laws affecting the securitization of mortgages, and other assets, with requirements for risk retention by securitizers and requirements 
for regulating credit rating agencies. Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act continue to be subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several 
years, making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact on our Company, our customers, or the general financial industry. Provisions 
in the legislation that affect deposit insurance assessments, payment of interest on demand deposits, and interchange fees could increase costs 
associated with deposits, as well as place limitations on certain revenues those deposits may generate.

First Community Bancshares, Inc.  

The Company is a financial holding company organized pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “GLB Act”) and a bank holding 
company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). Accordingly, the Company is subject to 
supervision, regulation, and examination by the Federal Reserve. The GLB Act, BHC Act, and other federal laws subject financial and bank 
holding companies to particular restrictions on the types of activities they may engage in and to a range of supervisory requirements and 
activities, including regulatory enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations. The BHC Act generally provides for umbrella 
regulation of financial holding companies, such as the Company, by the Federal Reserve, as well as functional regulation of banking activities 
by bank regulators, securities activities by securities regulators, and insurance activities by insurance regulators.  

The Company is also under the jurisdiction of the SEC and is subject to the disclosure and regulatory requirements of the Securities Act of 
1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act as administered by the SEC. The Company’s common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select 
Market (“NASDAQ”) under the trading symbol “FCBC”, and is subject to the rules of NASDAQ for listed companies.  

Regulatory Restrictions on Dividends; Source of Strength  

The Federal Reserve’s policy has historically required bank holding companies to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to their 
subsidiary banks. The Dodd-Frank Act codified this policy as a statutory requirement. Under this requirement, the Company is expected to 
commit resources to support the Bank, even when it may not be in a financial position to provide such resources. According to Federal Reserve 
policy, bank holding companies may pay cash dividends on common stock only from income available over the past year and only if 
prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s expected future needs and financial condition. In addition, bank holding 
companies should not maintain dividend levels that undermine their ability to be a source of strength to their banking subsidiaries. A bank 
holding company may be required to guarantee the capital restoration plan of an undercapitalized banking subsidiary in certain situations.  

In addition, the Company and the Bank are subject to other regulatory policies and requirements relating to the payment of dividends, including 
requirements to maintain adequate capital above regulatory minimums. The appropriate federal regulatory authority is authorized to determine 
that the payment of dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice, under certain circumstances regarding the financial condition of a bank 
holding company or a bank, and to prohibit payment thereof. The appropriate federal regulatory authorities have stated that paying dividends 
that deplete a bank’s capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice and that banking organizations 
should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings. In the current financial and economic environment, the Federal Reserve 
has discouraged payment ratios that are at maximum allowable levels, unless both asset quality and capital are very strong, and has noted that 
bank holding companies should carefully review their dividend policy.  

Scope of Permissible Activities  

Under the BHC Act, bank holding companies are limited to banking, managing or controlling banks, furnishing services to or performing 
services for their subsidiaries, or other activities that the Federal Reserve has determined to be closely related to banking or managing and 
controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. The BHC Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the 
Federal Reserve before it may acquire all, or substantially all, of the assets of any bank or ownership or control of any voting shares of any 
bank, if after such acquisition it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. When approving 
bank acquisitions by bank holding companies, the Federal Reserve is required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future 
prospects of the bank holding company and the target bank, the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, and various 
competitive factors. The BHC Act also prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the 
outstanding voting stock of any company engaged in a non-banking business unless such business is determined by the Federal Reserve to be 
so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto.  

7  

   
Table of Contents  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the GLB Act eliminated the barriers to affiliations among banks, securities firms, insurance companies, and 
other financial service providers and permits bank holding companies to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with 
securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature. The GLB Act defines “financial in nature” 
to include securities underwriting, dealing, and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; insurance underwriting 
and agency; merchant banking activities; and activities that the Federal Reserve has determined to be closely related to banking. Regulatory 
approval is not generally required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in 
activities that are financial in nature, or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve.  

Under the GLB Act, a bank holding company may become a financial holding company by filing a declaration with the Federal Reserve if each 
of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized under the FDIC Improvement Act prompt corrective action provisions, is well managed, and has at 
least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act. The Company elected financial holding company status in December 2006. 
Since July 2011, the Company’s status is dependent on maintaining a well capitalized and well-managed status under applicable Federal 
Reserve regulations. If a financial holding company ceases to meet these requirements, the Federal Reserve may impose corrective capital 
and/or managerial requirements on the financial holding company and place limitations on its ability to conduct the broader financial activities 
permissible for financial holding companies. In addition, the Federal Reserve may require divestiture of the holding company’s depository 
institutions if the deficiencies persist.  

The Dodd-Frank Act amended the BHC Act to require federal financial regulatory agencies to adopt rules that prohibit banks and their 
affiliates from engaging in proprietary trading and investing in and sponsoring certain unregistered investment companies (defined as hedge 
funds and private equity funds). The statutory provision is commonly called the “Volcker Rule.” The Federal Reserve adopted final rules 
implementing the Volcker Rule on December 10, 2013. The Volcker Rule became effective on July 21, 2012 and the final rules are effective 
April 1, 2014, but the Federal Reserve issued an order extending the period during which institutions have to conform their activities and 
investments to the requirements of the Volcker Rule to July 21, 2015. On January 14, 2014, the banking agencies approved an interim rule to 
permit banking entities to retain interests in certain collateralized debt obligations backed primarily by trust preferred securities from the 
prohibitions under the Volcker Rule. Although we continue to evaluate the impact of the Volcker Rule and the final rules adopted, we do not 
currently anticipate that the Volcker Rule will have a material effect on the operations of the Company and subsidiaries, as the Company does 
not engage in the businesses prohibited by the Volcker Rule. The Company may incur costs to adopt additional policies and systems to ensure 
compliance with the Volcker Rule, but any such costs are not expected to be material.  

Anti-Tying Restrictions  

Bank holding companies and their affiliates are prohibited from tying the provision of certain services, such as extensions of credit, to other 
services offered by a holding company or its affiliates.  

Stock Repurchases  

A bank holding company is required to give the Federal Reserve prior notice of any redemption or repurchase of its own equity securities, 
subject to certain exemptions, if the consideration to be paid, together with the consideration paid for any repurchases or redemptions in the 
preceding year, is equal to 10% or more of the company’s consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve may oppose the transaction if it 
believes that the transaction would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law or regulation.  

Capital Adequacy Requirements  

The Federal Reserve currently uses two types of capital adequacy guidelines for holding companies, a two-tiered risk-based capital guideline 
and a leverage capital ratio guideline. The two-tiered risk-based capital guideline assigns risk weightings to all assets and certain off-balance 
sheet items of the holding company’s operations and  

8  

   
Table of Contents  

then establishes a minimum ratio of the holding company’s Tier 1 capital to the aggregate dollar amount of risk-weighted assets (which amount 
is usually less than the aggregate dollar amount of such assets without risk weighting) and a minimum ratio of the holding company’s total 
capital (Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital, as adjusted) to the aggregate dollar amount of such risk-weighted assets. The leverage ratio guideline 
establishes a minimum ratio of the holding company’s Tier 1 capital to its total tangible assets (total assets less goodwill and certain identifiable 
intangibles) without risk-weighting. As discussed below, the Bank is subject to similar capital requirements.  

Under both guidelines, Tier 1 capital is defined to include common shareholders’ equity, including retained earnings; qualifying noncumulative 
perpetual preferred stock and related surplus; qualifying cumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus; minority interests in the 
equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, which are limited to a maximum of 25% of Tier 1 capital; and certain trust preferred securities. 
The Dodd-Frank Act excludes trust preferred securities issued after May 19, 2010, from being included in Tier 1 capital, unless the issuing 
company is a bank holding company with less than $500 million in total assets. Trust preferred securities issued before that date continue to 
count as Tier 1 capital for bank holding companies with less than $15 billion in total assets, such as the Company. Goodwill and most 
intangible assets are deducted from Tier 1 capital. For purposes of the total risk-based capital guidelines Tier 2 capital, sometimes referred to as 
supplementary capital, is defined to include, subject to limitations: perpetual preferred stock not included in Tier 1 capital, intermediate-term 
preferred stock and any related surplus, certain hybrid capital instruments, perpetual debt and mandatory convertible debt securities, allowances 
for loan and lease losses, and intermediate-term subordinated debt instruments. The maximum amount of qualifying Tier 2 capital is 100% of 
qualifying Tier 1 capital. For purposes of the total capital guideline, total capital equals Tier 1 capital, plus qualifying Tier 2 capital, minus 
investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, reciprocal holdings of bank holding company capital securities, and deferred tax assets and other 
deductions. The Federal Reserve’s current capital adequacy guidelines require that a bank holding company maintain a Tier 1 risk-based capital 
ratio of at least 4.0% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8.0%. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s ratio of Tier 1 capital to 
total risk-weighted assets was 15.19% and ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 16.44%.  

In addition, the Federal Reserve uses a leverage ratio as an added tool to evaluate the capital adequacy of bank holding companies. The 
leverage ratio is a company’s Tier 1 capital divided by its average total consolidated assets. Certain highly rated bank holding companies may 
maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0%, but other bank holding companies are required to maintain a leverage ratio of 4.0% or more, 
depending on their overall condition. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s leverage ratio was 9.95%.  

The federal banking agencies’ risk-based and leverage ratios are minimum supervisory ratios generally applicable to banking organizations that 
meet certain specified criteria, assuming that they have the highest regulatory rating. Banking organizations not meeting these criteria are 
expected to operate with capital positions well above the minimum ratios. Federal Reserve guidelines provide that regulatory agencies may set 
capital requirements for a particular banking organization that are higher than the minimum when circumstances warrant. These guidelines also 
provide that banking organizations experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions 
substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without significant reliance on intangible assets.  

The current risk-based capital guidelines that apply to the Company and the Bank are based on the 1988 capital accord of the International 
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, a committee of central banks and bank supervisors, implemented by the Federal Reserve. In July 
2013, the Federal Reserve published the Basel III Capital Rules establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking 
organizations. The rules implement the Basel Committee’s December 2010 framework known as “Basel III” for strengthening international 
capital standards as well as certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Basel III Capital Rules substantially revise the risk-based capital 
requirements applicable to bank holding companies and depository institutions, including the Company and the Bank, compared to the current 
U.S. risk-based capital rules. The Basel III Capital Rules define the components of capital and address other issues affecting the numerator in 
banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios. The Basel III Capital Rules also address risk weights and other  

9  

   
Table of Contents  

issues affecting the denominator in banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios and replace the existing risk-weighting approach, which was 
derived from the Basel I capital accords of the Basel Committee, with a more risk-sensitive approach based, in part, on the standardized 
approach in the Basel Committee’s 2004 “Basel II” capital accords. The Basel III Capital Rules also implement the requirements of 
Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act to remove references to credit ratings from the federal banking agencies’ rules. The Basel III Capital 
Rules are effective for the Company and the Bank, subject to a phase-in period, on January 1, 2015.  

The Basel III Capital Rules, among other things, (i) introduce a new capital measure called “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”), (ii) specify 
that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting specified requirements, (iii) define CET1 narrowly by 
requiring that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital and 
(iv) expand the scope of the deductions/adjustments as compared to existing regulations.  

When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the Basel III Capital Rules will require the Company and the Bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of 
CET1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (which is added to the 4.5% CET1 ratio as that buffer 
is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 7% upon full implementation), (ii) a minimum 
ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 6.0% Tier 1 capital 
ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full implementation), (iii) a minimum ratio 
of Total capital (that is, Tier 1 plus Tier 2) to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 
8.0% total capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation), 
and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as compared to a current minimum leverage 
ratio of 3% for banking organizations that either have the highest supervisory rating or have implemented the appropriate federal regulatory 
authority’s risk-adjusted measure for market risk).  

The Basel III Capital Rules also provides for a “countercyclical capital buffer” that is applicable to only certain covered institutions and is not 
expected to have any current applicability to the Company or the Bank. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during 
periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation 
buffer (or below the combined capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer, when the latter is applied) will face constraints on 
dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.  

Under the Basel III Capital Rules, the initial minimum capital ratios as of January 1, 2015, will be as follows:  

   • 

   • 

   • 

   4.5% CET1 to risk-weighted assets.  
   6.0% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets.  
   8.0% Total capital to risk-weighted assets.  

The Basel III Capital Rules provide for a number of deductions from and adjustments to CET1. These include, for example, the requirement 
that mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences that could not be realized through net operating loss 
carrybacks and significant investments in non-consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET1 to the extent that any one such category 
exceeds 10% of CET1 or all such categories in the aggregate exceed 15% of CET1. Under current capital standards, the effects of accumulated 
other comprehensive income items included in capital are excluded for the purposes of determining regulatory capital ratios. Under the Basel 
III Capital Rules, the effects of certain accumulated other comprehensive items are not excluded; however, non-advanced approaches banking 
organizations, including the Company and the Bank, may make a one-time permanent election to continue to exclude these items. The 
Company and the Bank expect to make this election in order to avoid significant variations in the level of capital depending upon the impact of 
interest rate fluctuations on the fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio. The Basel III Capital Rules also preclude 
certain hybrid securities, such as trust preferred securities, as Tier 1 capital of bank holding companies, subject to phase-out. The rules do not 
require a phase-out of trust preferred securities issued prior to May 19, 2010, for holding companies of depository institutions with  

10  

   
   
   
   
Table of Contents  

less than $15 billion in consolidated total assets, as of December 1, 2009, which includes the Company. Therefore, the Company’s trust 
preferred securities that were issued prior to May 19, 2010, are permanently grandfathered in as Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital instruments,  

Implementation of the deductions and other adjustments to CET1 will begin on January 1, 2015 and will be phased in over a four-year period 
(beginning at 40% on January 1, 2015 and an additional 20% per year thereafter). The implementation of the capital conservation buffer will 
begin on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and be phased in over a four-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1 
st 

, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019).  

With respect to the Bank, the Basel III Capital Rules also revise the “prompt corrective action” regulations pursuant to Section 38 of the 
Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as discussed below under “Prompt Corrective Action.”  

The Basel III Capital Rules prescribe a standardized approach for risk weightings that expand the risk-weighting categories from the current 
four Basel I-derived categories (0%, 20%, 50% and 100%) to a much larger and more risk-sensitive number of categories, depending on the 
nature of the assets, generally ranging from 0% for U.S. government and agency securities, to 600% for certain equity exposures, and resulting 
in higher risk weights for a variety of asset categories. Specifics changes to current rules impacting the Company’s determination of risk-
weighted assets include, among other things:  

• 

   • 

• 

• 

   • 

   Applying a 150% risk weight instead of a 100% risk weight for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development 
and construction loans.  
   Assigning a 150% risk weight to exposures (other than residential mortgage exposures) that are 90 days past due.  
   Providing for a 20% credit conversion factor for the unused portion of a commitment with an original maturity of one year or less that is 
not unconditionally cancellable (currently set at 0%).  
   Providing for a risk weight, generally not less than 20% with certain exceptions, for securities lending transactions based on the risk 
weight category of the underlying collateral securing the transaction.  
   Providing for a 100% risk weight for claims on securities firms. Eliminating the current 50% cap on the risk weight for OTC derivatives.  

In addition, the Basel III Capital Rules provide more advantageous risk weights for derivatives and repurchase-style transactions cleared 
through a qualifying central counterparty and increase the scope of eligible guarantors and eligible collateral for purposes of credit risk 
mitigation. Management believes that, as of December 31, 2013, the Company and the Bank would meet all capital adequacy requirements 
under the Basel III Capital Rules on a fully phased-in basis as if such requirements were currently in effect.  

Liquidity Requirements  

Historically, the regulation and monitoring of bank and bank holding company liquidity has been addressed as a supervisory matter, without 
required formulaic measures. The Basel III liquidity framework requires banks and bank holding companies to measure their liquidity against 
specific liquidity tests that, although similar in some respects to liquidity measures historically applied by banks and regulators for management 
and supervisory purposes, going forward would be required by regulation. One test, referred to as the liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”), is 
designed to ensure that the banking entity maintains an adequate level of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets equal to the entity’s expected 
net cash outflow for a 30-day time horizon (or, if greater, 25% of its expected total cash outflow) under an acute liquidity stress scenario. The 
other test, referred to as the net stable funding ratio (“NSFR”), is designed to promote more medium- and long-term funding of the assets and 
activities of banking entities over a one-year time horizon. These requirements will incent banking entities to increase their holdings of U.S. 
Treasury securities and other sovereign debt as a component of assets and increase the use of  

11  

   
   
   
   
   
   
  
  
  
Table of Contents  

long-term debt as a funding source. In October 2013, the federal banking agencies proposed rules implementing the LCR for advanced 
approaches banking organizations and a modified version of the LCR for bank holding companies with at least $50 billion in total consolidated 
assets that are not advanced approaches banking organizations, neither of which would apply to the Company or the Bank. The federal banking 
agencies have not yet proposed rules to implement the NSFR.  

Incentive Compensation  

In June 2010, the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), and the FDIC issued their final guidance on policies 
intended to ensure that the incentive compensation policies of banking organizations do not undermine the safety and soundness of such 
organizations by encouraging excessive risk taking. The final guidance, which covers all employees who have the ability to materially affect 
the risk profile of an organization, is based upon the key principles that a banking organization’s incentive compensation arrangements should 
(i) provide incentives that do not encourage risk taking beyond the organization’s ability to effectively identify and manage risks, (ii) be 
compatible with effective internal controls and risk management, and (iii) be supported by strong corporate governance, including active and 
effective oversight by the organization’s board of directors. The Federal Reserve indicated that all banking organizations are to evaluate their 
incentive compensation arrangements and related risk management, controls, and corporate governance processes and immediately address 
deficiencies in these arrangements or processes that are inconsistent with safety and soundness.  

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

In February 2011, the Federal Reserve, the OCC, and the FDIC approved a joint proposed rulemaking to implement Section 956 of the Dodd-
Frank Act, which prohibits incentive-based compensation arrangements that encourage inappropriate risk taking by covered financial 
institutions and are deemed to be excessive, or that may lead to material losses.  

The scope and content of the U.S. banking regulators’ policies on executive compensation are continuing to develop and are likely to continue 
evolving in the near future. It cannot be determined at this time whether compliance with such policies will adversely affect our ability to 
attract, hire, retain, and motivate key employees.  

First Community Bank  

The Bank is a Virginia state-chartered bank supervised and regulated by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions (“Virginia Bureau”). As a 
member of the Federal Reserve, the Bank’s primary federal regulator is the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) of Richmond. The Virginia Bureau 
and FRB of Richmond are based in the Company’s home state of Virginia. The regulations of these agencies govern most aspects of the Bank’s 
business, including required reserves against deposits, loans, investments, mergers and acquisitions, borrowing, dividends, and location and 
number of branch offices.  

Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders  

Transactions between the Bank and its non-banking subsidiaries or affiliates, including the Company, are subject to Section 23A of the Federal 
Reserve Act the (“FRA”). In general, Section 23A imposes limits on the amount of  

12  

   
Table of Contents  

such transactions, and also requires certain levels of collateral for loans to affiliated parties. It also limits the amount of advances to third 
parties that are collateralized by the securities or obligations of the Company.  

Affiliate transactions are also subject to Section 23B of the FRA which generally requires that certain transactions between the Bank and its 
affiliates be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the Bank, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions 
with or involving other non-affiliated persons. The Federal Reserve has issued Regulation W which codifies prior regulations under Sections 
23A and 23B of the FRA and interpretive guidance with respect to affiliate transactions.  

The Dodd-Frank Act generally enhances the restrictions on transactions with affiliates under Sections 23A and 23B of the FRA, including an 
expanded definition of covered transactions and increased amount of time for which collateral requirements regarding covered credit 
transactions must be satisfied. Insider transaction limitations are expanded through the strengthening of loan restrictions to insiders and the 
expansion of the types of transactions subject to the various limits, including derivatives transactions, repurchase agreements, reverse 
repurchase agreements, and securities lending or borrowing transactions. Restrictions are also placed on certain asset sales to and from an 
insider to an institution, including that such sales be on market terms and, in certain circumstances, approved by the institution’s board of 
directors.  

The restrictions on loans to directors, executive officers, principal shareholders, and their related interests contained in the FRA and Regulation 
O apply to all insured institutions, their subsidiaries, and holding companies. These restrictions include limits on loans to one borrower and 
conditions that must be met before such a loan can be made. There is also an aggregate limitation on all loans to such persons. These loans 
cannot exceed the institution’s total unimpaired capital and surplus, and the FDIC may determine that a lesser amount is appropriate.  

Restrictions on Distribution of Subsidiary Bank Dividends and Assets  

Dividends paid by the Bank to the Company provide and are anticipated to remain the primary source of the Company’s operating funds. 
Capital adequacy requirements applicable to insured depository institutions serve to limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the 
Bank. Under federal law, the Bank cannot pay a dividend if, after paying the dividend, it will be classified as undercapitalized. Further, prior 
approval of the FRB is required if cash dividends declared in any given year exceed the total of the Bank’s net profits for such year, plus its 
retained profits for the preceding two years. Virginia law also imposes restrictions on the ability of Virginia-chartered banks to pay dividends if 
such dividends would impair a bank’s paid-in capital. The payment of dividends by the Bank may also be limited by other factors, such as 
requirements to maintain capital above regulatory guidelines. The Virginia Bureau and the FRB of Richmond have the general authority to 
limit dividends paid by the Bank if such payments are deemed to constitute an unsafe and unsound practice.  

Because the Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries, its right to participate in the distribution of assets of any 
subsidiary upon the subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors. In the event of 
liquidation or other resolution of an insured depository institution, such as the Bank, the claims of depositors and other general or subordinated 
creditors are entitled to a priority of payment over the claims of holders of any obligation of the institution to its shareholders, including any 
depository institution holding company or any shareholder or creditor thereof.  

Examinations  

Under the FDIC Improvement Act, all insured institutions must undergo regular on-site examination by their appropriate banking agency and 
such agency may assess the institution for its costs of conducting the examination. As a state-chartered Federal Reserve member bank, the 
Bank is subject to examination by the Virginia Bureau and FRB of Richmond. These examinations review areas such as capital adequacy, 
reserves, loan portfolio quality, investments, information systems, disaster recovery, contingency planning, management practices, and other 
compliance issues.

Capital Adequacy Requirements  

The various federal bank regulatory agencies have adopted risk-based capital requirements for assessing the capital adequacy of banks and 
bank holding companies. The federal capital standards define capital and establish minimum capital requirements in relation to assets and off-
balance sheet exposure, as adjusted for credit risk. The risk-based capital standards currently in effect are designed to make regulatory capital 
requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile among bank holding companies and banks, to account for off-balance sheet exposure 
and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with 
appropriate risk weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items.  

Pursuant to the Federal Reserve’s risk-based capital requirements, state member banks are required to meet a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to 
total risk-weighted assets of 4.0% and a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8.0%. The capital categories for the Bank are the 
same as those for the Company. In addition to the risk-based capital requirements, the Federal Reserve has adopted regulations that supplement 
the risk-based guidelines to include a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to quarterly average assets of 3.0%. The Federal Reserve has 
emphasized that the foregoing standards are supervisory minimums and that a banking organization will be permitted to maintain such 
minimum levels of capital only if it receives the highest rating under the regulatory rating system and the banking organization is not 
experiencing or anticipating significant growth. All other banking organizations are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4.0% to 
5.0% of Tier 1 capital. See “Capital Adequacy Requirements” in the “First Community Bancshares, Inc.” section above.  

Corrective Measures for Capital Deficiencies  

The federal banking regulators are required to take prompt corrective action with respect to capital-deficient institutions. Agency regulations 
define, for each capital category, the levels at which institutions are well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly 
undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. A well capitalized institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or higher, a Tier 1 
risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or higher, a leverage ratio of 5.0% or higher, and is not subject to any written agreement, order, or directive 
requiring it to maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. An adequately capitalized institution has a total risk-based capital ratio 
of 8.0% or higher, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or higher, a leverage ratio of 4.0% or higher (3.0% or higher if the bank was rated a 
composite 1 in its most recent examination report and is not experiencing significant growth), and does not meet the criteria for a well 
capitalized bank. An undercapitalized institution has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less 
than 4.0%, or a leverage ratio of less than 4.0%. A significantly undercapitalized institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 
6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3.0%, or a leverage ratio of less than 3.0%. A critically undercapitalized institution’s tangible 
equity is equal to or less than 2.0% of average quarterly tangible assets. An institution may be downgraded to, or deemed to be in, a capital 
category that is lower than indicated by its capital ratios if it is determined to be in an unsafe or unsound condition or if it receives an 
unsatisfactory examination rating with respect to certain matters. A bank’s capital category is determined solely for the purpose of applying 
prompt corrective action regulations, and the capital category may not constitute an accurate representation of the bank’s overall financial 
condition or prospects for other purposes. The Bank was classified as well capitalized for purposes of the FDIC’s prompt corrective action 
regulation as of December 31, 2013.  

The Basel III Capital Rules revise the current prompt corrective action requirements effective January 1, 2015 by (i) introducing a CET1 ratio 
requirement at each level (other than critically undercapitalized), with the required CET1 ratio being 6.5% for well-capitalized status; 
(ii) increasing the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio requirement for each category (other than critically undercapitalized), with the minimum Tier 1 
capital ratio for well-capitalized status being 8% (as compared to the current 6%); and (iii) eliminating the current provision that provides that a 
bank with a composite supervisory rating of 1 may have a 3% leverage ratio and still be adequately capitalized. The Basel III Capital Rules do 
not change the total risk-based capital requirement for any prompt corrective action category.  

14  

   
Table of Contents  

In addition to requiring undercapitalized institutions to submit a capital restoration plan, agency regulations contain broad restrictions on 
certain activities of undercapitalized institutions, including asset growth, acquisitions, branch establishment, and expansion into new lines of 
business. With certain exceptions, an insured depository institution is prohibited from making capital distributions, including dividends, and is 
prohibited from paying management fees to control persons if the institution would be undercapitalized after any such distribution or payment.  

As an institution’s capital decreases, the federal regulators’ enforcement powers become more severe. A significantly undercapitalized 
institution is subject to mandated capital raising activities, restrictions on interest rates paid and transactions with affiliates, removal of 
management, and other restrictions. The FDIC has limited discretion in dealing with a critically undercapitalized institution and is generally 
required to appoint a receiver or conservator. Banks with risk-based capital and leverage ratios below the required minimums may be subject to 
certain administrative actions, including termination of deposit insurance upon notice and hearing or temporary suspension of insurance 
without a hearing if the institution has no tangible capital.  

Deposit Insurance Assessments  

The Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the DIF of the FDIC and are subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the 
DIF. Currently the FDIC utilizes a risk-based assessment system to evaluate the risk of each financial institution based on three primary sources 
of information: its supervisory rating, its financial ratios, and its long-term debt issuer rating, if the institution has one. The FDIC’s initial base 
assessment schedule can be adjusted up or down, and premiums in effect from January 1, 2010, through March 31, 2011, ranged from 12 basis 
points in the lowest risk category to 45 basis points for banks in the highest risk category. Effective April 1, 2011, the FDIC set initial base 
assessment rates from 5 basis points in the lowest risk category to 35 basis points for banks in the highest risk category.  

The Dodd-Frank Act requires the FDIC to increase the DIF’s reserves against future losses, which will necessitate increased deposit insurance 
premiums that are to be borne primarily by institutions with assets of greater than $10 billion. In October 2010, the FDIC addressed plans to 
bolster the DIF by increasing the required reserve ratio for the industry to 1.35 percent (ratio of reserves to insured deposits) by September 30, 
2020, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The FDIC also proposed to raise its industry target ratio of reserves to insured deposits to 2 percent, 
65 basis points above the statutory minimum.  

In February 2011, the FDIC adopted new rules that amend its current deposit insurance assessment regulations. The new rules implement a 
provision in the Dodd-Frank Act that changed the assessment base for deposit insurance premiums from one based on domestic deposits to one 
based on average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity. The rules also changed the assessment rate schedules for insured 
depository institutions so that approximately the same amount of revenue would be collected using the new assessment base as would be 
collected using the current rate schedule and the schedules previously proposed by the FDIC in October 2010. In addition, the new rules revised 
the risk-based assessment system for large insured depository institutions, which generally include institutions with at least $10 billion in total 
assets and highly complex institutions, by requiring the FDIC to use a scorecard method to calculate assessment rates for all such institutions. 
The Bank is not considered a highly complex institution for these purposes.  

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (the “FDIA”), the FDIC may terminate deposit insurance upon a finding that the 
institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any 
applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.  

In addition to deposit insurance assessments by the DIF, all FDIC-insured depository institutions must pay an annual assessment to provide 
funds for the repayment of debt obligations of the Financing Corporation (“FICO”). The FICO is a government-sponsored entity that was 
formed to borrow the money necessary to carry out the closing and ultimate disposition of failed thrift institutions by the Resolution Trust 
Corporation. The FICO  

15  

   
Table of Contents  

assessments are set quarterly. The Bank’s FICO assessments totaled $154 thousand in 2013 and $140 thousand in 2012. The Bank’s FDIC 
deposit insurance assessments and premiums totaled $1.72 million in 2013 and $1.57 million in 2012.  

Safety and Soundness Standards  

The FDIA requires that the federal bank regulatory agencies prescribe standards, by regulations or guidelines, relating to internal controls, 
information and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, asset quality, 
earnings, stock valuation and compensation, fees and benefits, and other operational and managerial standards the agencies deem appropriate. 
Guidelines adopted by the federal bank regulatory agencies establish general standards relating to internal controls and information systems, 
internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth and compensation, fees and benefits. In 
general, the guidelines require, among other things, appropriate systems and practices to identify and manage the risk and exposures specified 
in the guidelines. The guidelines prohibit excessive compensation as an unsafe and unsound practice and describe compensation as excessive 
when the amounts paid are unreasonable or disproportionate to the services performed by an executive officer, employee, director, or principal 
stockholder. The agencies adopted regulations that authorize them to order an institution that has been given notice by an agency not satisfying 
any of such safety and soundness standards to submit a compliance plan. If after being so notified an institution fails to submit an acceptable 
compliance plan or fails in any material respect to implement an acceptable compliance plan, the agency must issue an order directing action to 
correct the deficiency and may issue an order directing other actions of the types to which an undercapitalized institution is subject under the 
prompt corrective action provisions of the FDIA. If an institution fails to comply with such an order, the agency may seek to enforce such order 
in judicial proceedings and to impose civil money penalties. See “Corrective Measures for Capital Deficiencies” in the “Bank” section above.  

Enforcement Powers  

The FDIC and the other federal banking agencies have broad enforcement powers, including the power to terminate deposit insurance, impose 
substantial fines and other civil and criminal penalties, and appoint a conservator or receiver. Failure to comply with applicable laws, 
regulations, and supervisory agreements could subject us, including officers, directors, and other institution-affiliated parties, to administrative 
sanctions and potentially substantial civil money penalties. The appropriate federal banking agency may appoint the FDIC as conservator or 
receiver for a banking institution (or the FDIC may appoint itself, under certain circumstances) if any one or more of a number of 
circumstances exist, including, without limitation, the banking institution is undercapitalized and has no reasonable prospect of becoming 
adequately capitalized; fails to become adequately capitalized when required to do so; fails to submit a timely and acceptable capital restoration 
plan; or materially fails to implement an accepted capital restoration plan.  

Consumer Laws and Regulations  

In addition to the laws and regulations discussed in this report, the Bank is also subject to certain consumer laws and regulations that are 
designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks. While the list set forth is not exhaustive, these laws and regulations include the Truth 
in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Equal Credit 
Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, and various state counterparts. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and 
regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits or making loans to such customers. The 
Bank must comply with the applicable provisions of these consumer protection laws and regulations as part of their ongoing customer relations. 

In addition, federal law currently contains extensive customer privacy protection provisions. Under these provisions, a financial institution must 
provide to its customers, at the inception of the customer relationship and annually thereafter, the institution’s policies and procedures 
regarding the handling of customers’ nonpublic personal financial information. These provisions also provide that, except for certain limited 
exceptions, a  

16  

   
Table of Contents  

financial institution may provide such personal information to unaffiliated third parties only if the institution discloses to the customer that such 
information may be so provided and the customer is given the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure.  

The Dodd-Frank Act centralized responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating the CFPB, which is responsible for implementing, 
examining and enforcing compliance with federal consumer protection laws. The CFPB has broad rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement 
authority over consumer financial products and services, including deposit products, residential mortgages, home-equity loans, and credit cards. 
The CFPB’s functions include investigating consumer complaints, rulemaking, supervising and examining banks’ consumer transactions, and 
enforcing rules related to consumer financial products and services. Banks with less than $10 billion in assets, such as the Bank, will be subject 
to these federal consumer financial laws and will continue to be examined for compliance with these laws by their primary federal banking 
agency.  

Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act  

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA 
Patriot Act”) was enacted in October 2001. The USA Patriot Act has broadened existing anti-money laundering legislation while imposing new 
compliance and due diligence obligations on banks and other financial institutions, with a particular focus on detecting and reporting money 
laundering transactions involving domestic or international customers. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has issued and 
will continue to issue regulations clarifying the USA Patriot Act’s requirements. The USA Patriot Act requires all financial institutions, as 
defined, to establish certain anti-money laundering compliance and due diligence programs. Recently, the regulatory agencies have intensified 
their examination procedures of the USA Patriot Act’s anti-money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act requirements. We believe our controls and 
procedures were in compliance with the USA Patriot Act as of December 31, 2013.  

Interstate Banking and Branching  

Federal banking agencies are authorized to approve interstate bank merger transactions without regard to whether the transaction is prohibited 
by the law of any state, unless the home state of one of the banks has opted out of the interstate bank merger provisions of the Riegle-Neal 
Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, as amended, (the “Riegle-Neal Act”) or by adopting a law after the date of enactment 
of the Riegle-Neal Act and before June 1, 1997, that applies equally to all out-of-state banks and expressly prohibits merger transactions 
involving out-of-state banks. Interstate acquisitions of branches are permitted only if the law of the state in which the branch is located permits 
such acquisitions. Such interstate bank mergers and branch acquisitions are also subject to the nationwide and statewide insured deposit 
concentration limitations described in the Riegle-Neal Act.  

Before the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, national and state-chartered banks were generally permitted to branch across state lines by 
merging with banks in other states if allowed by the applicable states’ laws. However, interstate branching is now permitted for all national and 
state-chartered banks as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, provided that a state bank chartered by the state in which the branch is to be located 
would also be permitted to establish a branch, thus effectively giving out-of-state banks parity with in-state banks with respect to de novo 
branching.  

Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program  

On November 21, 2008, we issued and sold to the Treasury 41,500 shares of our Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, 
and a warrant to purchase 176,546 shares of our common stock, par value $1.00 per share, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $41.50 
million. The warrant was immediately exercisable upon its issuance, had an initial exercise price per share of $35.26, and a 10 year term. On 
June 5, 2009, we completed a public offering of our common stock to reduce the amount of shares underlying the  

17  

   
Table of Contents  

warrant to 88,273. On July 8, 2009, we repurchased all preferred stock from the Treasury that had previously been issued. On November 23, 
2011, we repurchased the warrant from the Treasury for approximately $31 thousand through our bid in a public auction that took place on 
November 17, 2011.  

Item 1A.  Risk Factors. 

The risk factors described below discuss potential events, trends, or other circumstances that could adversely affect our business, financial 
condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, access to capital resources, and, consequently, cause the market value of our common 
stock to decline. These risks could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results and expectations of future financial 
performance. If any of the following risks occur and the market price of our common stock declines significantly, individuals may lose all, or 
part, of their investment in our Company. Individuals should carefully consider our risk factors and the additional information included in, or 
incorporated by reference to, this report before making an investment decision. There may be risks and uncertainties that we have not identified 
or that we have deemed immaterial that could adversely affect our business; therefore, the following risk factors are not intended to be an 
exhaustive list of all risks we face. All forward-looking statements are qualified by the risks described below.  

Risks Related to Our Business  

The current economic environment poses significant challenges.  

The U.S. economy has faced a severe economic crisis in recent years, including a major recession from which it is slowly recovering. Business 
activity across a wide range of industries and regions in the U.S. continues to remain reduced and local governments and many businesses 
continue to experience financial difficulty. While reflecting some improvement, unemployment levels remain elevated. There can be no 
assurance that these conditions will continue to improve or that these conditions could worsen.  

Our financial performance is generally highly dependent upon the business environment in the markets we operate, specifically Virginia and 
the U.S. as a whole, which includes the ability of borrowers to pay interest, repay principal on outstanding loans, the value of collateral 
securing those loans, and demand for loans and other products and services we offer. A favorable business environment is generally 
characterized by, among other factors, economic growth, efficient capital markets, low inflation, low unemployment, high business and 
investor confidence, and strong business earnings. Unfavorable or uncertain economic and market conditions can be caused by declines in 
economic growth, business activity or investor or business confidence; limitations on the availability, or increases, in the cost of credit and 
capital; increases in inflation or interest rates; high unemployment; natural disasters; or a combination of these or other factors.  

Overall, during recent years, the business environment has been adverse for many households and businesses in the U.S. and worldwide. 
Although economic conditions in Virginia, the U.S., and worldwide have improved since the recession, there can be no assurance that this 
improvement will continue. Economic pressure on consumers and uncertainty regarding continuing economic improvement may result in 
changes in consumer and business spending, borrowing, and savings habits. Such conditions could adversely affect the credit quality of the 
Bank’s loans and the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.  

We are subject to interest rate risk.  

Our earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income 
earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and 
borrowed funds. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including general economic conditions and 
policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, particularly, the Federal Reserve. Changes in monetary policy and interest rates 
could influence the interest we receive on loans and securities and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings. Further, such 
changes could also affect our ability to originate loans and obtain deposits and the fair  

18  

   
   
Table of Contents  

value of our financial assets and liabilities. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest 
rates received on loans and other investments, our net interest income and earnings could be adversely affected. Conversely, if interest rates 
received on loans and other investments fall more quickly than interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings, our net interest income and 
earnings could also be adversely affected.  

Our estimated allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual losses.  

Like all financial institutions, we maintain an allowance for loan losses to provide for probable loan losses. Our allowance may not be adequate 
to cover actual loan losses, and future provisions for loan losses could materially and adversely affect our operating results. The appropriate 
level of the allowance is determined by management and inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and significant estimates of current 
credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Our allowance is determined by analyzing historical loan losses, 
current trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, plans for problem loan resolution, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, 
and industry information. Management’s estimates also include considerations concerning the impact of economic events, which are uncertain. 
Future losses are susceptible to changes in economic, operating, and other conditions, including changes in interest rates, which may be beyond 
our control; these losses may exceed our current estimates. Federal regulatory agencies regularly review our loans and allowance for loan 
losses as an integral part of the examination process. We believe our allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for probable losses. There 
is no assurance that we will not, or that regulators will not require us to, increase our allowance in future periods, which could materially and 
adversely affect our earnings and profitability.  

Non-covered nonperforming assets were $27.79 million as of December 31, 2013, $35.69 million as of December 31, 2012, and $31.0 million 
as of December 31, 2011. We incurred net charge-offs of $10.35 million in 2013, $6.11 million in 2012, and $9.32 million in 2011. Our 
provision for loan losses charged to operations was $8.21 million in 2013, $5.68 million in 2012, and $9.05 million in 2011. The provision 
attributed to purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans was $747 thousand in 2013, of which $296 thousand was included in the provision 
charged to operations and $451 thousand was recorded through the FDIC indemnification asset. As of December 31, 2013, our ratio of the 
allowance attributed to non-PCI loans to non-covered nonperforming loans was 113.92% and ratio of the allowance attributed to non-PCI loans 
to total non-covered loans was 1.50%. If nonperforming assets or net charge-offs increase in future periods, we may be required to increase our 
allowance for loan losses, which could have an adverse effect on our future results of operations.  

Our level of credit risk may increase due to our focus on commercial, small business, and middle market customers who may have 
significant vulnerability to economic conditions.  

Commercial business and real estate loans are generally considered riskier than single family residential loans because larger balances are 
extended to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Commercial business and real estate loans involve risks because the borrowers’ 
ability to repay the loans typically depends on the success of the business’ operations or the properties securing the loans. The majority of our 
commercial business loans are made to small business or middle market customers. A portion of our commercial business and real estate loans 
made or acquired in recent years has not experienced a complete business or economic cycle. As of December 31, 2013, our largest outstanding 
commercial business loan was $6.09 million and largest outstanding commercial real estate loan was $6.93 million. As of the same date, our 
commercial business loans totaled $101.27 million, or 5.92% of our total loan portfolio, and our commercial real estate loans totaled $759.18 
million, or 44.38% of our total loan portfolio.  

In addition, we hold a portfolio of commercial construction loans. Construction loans generally have a higher risk of loss primarily due to the 
critical nature of certain assumptions and estimates used to value the initial property value upon completion of construction compared to the 
estimated costs, including interest. If estimates prove inaccurate, final property values may fall below related loan amounts. While we are not 
currently aware of any specific, material impediments impacting any of our builder or developer borrowers, there continues to be  

19  

   
Table of Contents  

nationwide reports of problems that adversely affect many property developers, builders, and institutions that provide those loans. If a 
significant number of our construction loans experience these types of difficulties, we could have adverse consequences on our future financial 
condition and results of operations. As of December 31, 2013, our largest outstanding commercial construction loan was $2.59 million. As of 
the same date, our commercial construction loans totaled $51.12 million, or 2.99% of our total loan portfolio.  

We may suffer losses in our loan portfolio despite our underwriting practices.  

We seek to mitigate the risks inherent in our loan portfolio by adhering to specific underwriting practices. These practices include the analysis 
of borrowers’ prior credit histories, financial statements, tax returns, and cash flow projections; valuation of collateral based on independent 
appraisers’ reports; and verification of liquid assets. We believe our underwriting criteria are appropriate for the various loan types we offer; 
however, losses may occur on these loans that exceed the reserves established in our allowance for loan losses.  

Changes in the fair value of our investment securities may reduce stockholders’ equity and net income.  

As of December 31, 2013, securities available for sale were $519.82 million and the aggregate unrealized losses on those securities were 
$26.29 million. Stockholders’ equity is increased or decreased by the change in unrealized gain or loss on these securities, net of the related tax 
effect, through accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). The unrealized gain or loss represents the difference between the 
estimated fair value and the amortized cost of the securities. A decline in the estimated fair value of the portfolio results in a decline in 
stockholders’ equity, book value per common share, and tangible book value per common share. The decrease is recorded even though the 
securities are not sold or held for sale. If a debt security is never sold and no credit impairment exists, the decrease is recovered at the security’s 
maturity. Equity securities have no stated maturity; therefore, declines in fair value may or may not be recovered over time.  

We conduct quarterly reviews of our securities portfolio to determine if the declines are other-than-temporary. Factors we consider in our 
analysis of debt securities include: our intent to sell the securities, the evidence available to determine if it is more likely than not that we will 
have to sell the securities before recovery of the amortized cost, and the probable credit losses. Probable credit losses are evaluated on the 
present value of future cash flows; the severity and duration of the decline in fair value of the security below its amortized cost; the financial 
condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; whether the decline appears to be related to issuer conditions; general market, or industry 
conditions; the payment structure of the security; failure of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments; and changes to the 
rating of the security by rating agencies. Decreases in the fair value of debt securities caused by changes in interest rates are generally 
considered temporary, which is consistent with our experience. If we determine that fair value decreases are other-than-temporary, the security 
is written down to a new cost basis and the resulting loss is charged to earnings as a component of noninterest income. We recognized other-
than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges of $320 thousand in our debt securities portfolio in 2013.  

Factors we consider in our analysis of equity securities include: our intent to sell the security before recovery of the cost; the severity and 
duration of the decline in fair value below cost; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and whether the decline appears to 
be related to issuer conditions, general market, or industry conditions. We recognized no OTTI charges in our equity securities portfolio in 
2013.  

We continue to monitor the fair value of our securities portfolio as part of our ongoing OTTI evaluation process. No assurance can be given 
that we will not need to recognize OTTI charges in the future. Additional OTTI charges may materially affect our financial condition and 
earnings.  

We are subject to extensive regulation, possible enforcement, and other legal action.  

We operate in a highly regulated industry subject to examination, supervision, and comprehensive regulation by various federal and state 
governmental authorities, laws, and judicial and administrative decisions that impose requirements and restrictions on our operations. Banking 
regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors’  

20  

   
Table of Contents  

funds, federal deposit insurance funds, and the banking system as a whole, not stockholders. Congress and federal regulatory agencies 
continually review banking laws, regulations, and policies for possible changes. Changes to statutes, regulations, and regulatory policies, 
including changes in interpretation or implementation, may cause substantial and unpredictable effects, require additional costs, limit the types 
of financial services and products offered, or allow non-banks to offer competing financial services and products. The Dodd-Frank Act, enacted 
in July 2010, instituted major changes to banking and financial institutions regulatory regimes. Failure to comply with laws, regulations, and 
policies may result in sanctions by regulatory agencies and civil money penalties, which could have material adverse effects on our reputation, 
business, financial condition, and results of operations. We have policies and procedures designed to prevent violations; however, there is no 
assurance that violations will not occur. Existing and future laws, regulations, and policies yet to be adopted may make compliance more 
difficult or expensive; restrict our ability to originate, broker, or sell loans; further limit or restrict commissions, interest, and other charges 
earned on loans we originate or sell; and adversely affect our overall business, financial condition, and results of operations.  

The Bank’s ability to pay dividends is subject to regulatory limitations, to the extent such dividends are required, that may affect the 
Company’s ability to pay expenses and dividends to shareholders.  

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank. The Company currently depends on tits other subsidiaries’ and the Bank’s cash, 
liquidity, and payment of dividends to the Company to pay operating expenses and dividends to stockholders. There is no assurance that the 
Bank will have the capacity to pay dividends to the Company in the future or that the Company will not require dividends from the Bank to 
satisfy obligations. The Bank’s dividend payment is governed by various statutes and regulations. Depending on factors such as the Bank’s 
financial condition, the FRB of Richmond or the Virginia Bureau, the Bank’s primary regulators, may deem dividends or other payments an 
unsafe or unsound practice. If the Bank is unable to pay dividends sufficient to satisfy the Company’s obligations, the Company may not be 
able to service obligations as they become due; these obligations include required payments to the Trust or dividends on our Series A 
Noncumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) or our common stock. Consequently, the inability to receive 
dividends from the Bank could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and prospects.  

We face strong competition from other financial institutions, financial service companies, and organizations that offer services similar to 
our offerings.  

We primarily conduct our operations in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. We may be unsuccessful 
against current and future competitors in regions that offer products and services similar to those we offer; therefore, increased competition 
may result in reduced loan originations and deposits. Our competitors include savings associations, national banks, regional banks, and 
community banks. We also face competition from finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, credit unions, mortgage banks, 
and other financial intermediaries. In particular, our competitors include state and national banks and major financial companies with resources 
that may provide a marketplace advantage by expanding and maintaining numerous banking locations and mounting extensive promotional and 
advertising campaigns.  

Financial institutions with larger capitalization and financial intermediaries not subject to bank regulatory restrictions have higher lending 
limits that enable them to serve the credit needs of larger clients and, to the extent they are more diversified than us, may be able to offer the 
same products and services at more competitive rates and prices. If we are unable to attract and retain banking clients, our loan and deposit 
growth, general business, financial condition, and prospects may be negatively affected.

We may seek merger or acquisition partners that are culturally similar, have experienced management, and possess either significant market 
presence or the potential for improved profitability through financial management, economies of scale, or expanded services. Risks inherent in 
acquiring other banks, businesses, and banking branches may include the following:  
   Potential exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities of the target company,  
   Exposure to potential asset quality issues of the target company,  
   Difficulty, expense, and delays of integrating the operations and personnel of the target company,  
   Potential disruption to our business,  
   Potential diversion of management’s time and attention,  
   Loss of key employees and customers of the target company,  
   Difficulty in estimating the value of the target company,  
   Potential changes in banking or tax laws or regulations that may affect the target company,  
   Unexpected costs and delays,  
   The target company’s performance does not meet our growth and profitability expectations,  
   Limited experience in new markets or product areas,  
   Increased time, expenses, and personnel as a result of strain on our infrastructure, staff, internal controls, and management, and  
   Potential short-term decreases in profitability.

We regularly evaluate merger and acquisition opportunities and conduct due diligence activities related to possible transactions with other 
financial institutions and financial services companies. As a result, merger or acquisition discussions and, in some cases, negotiations may take 
place and future mergers or acquisitions involving the payment of cash or the issuance of debt or equity securities may occur at any time. 
Acquisitions typically involve goodwill, a purchase premium over the acquired company’s book and market values; therefore, dilution of our 
tangible book value and net income per common share may occur. If we are unable to realize revenue increases, cost savings, geographic or 
product presence growth, or other projected benefits from acquisitions, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely 
affected.  

We may engage in FDIC-assisted transactions.  

We may acquire assets and liabilities of failed financial institutions that are in FDIC receivership. FDIC-assisted acquisitions include risks 
inherent in acquiring other banks, businesses, and banking branches, as well as risks specific to each transaction. FDIC-assisted acquisitions 
generally provide limited diligence and term negotiation and may require additional resources, expenses, and time to service acquired loans, 
including PCI loans, integrate personnel and operating systems, and establish processes to service acquired assets. Acquisitions may also 
require us to raise additional capital that could have a dilutive effect on existing stockholders. If we are unable to manage these risks, FDIC-
assisted acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.  

Our ability to receive benefits under FDIC loss share agreements is subject to compliance with certain requirements, oversight and 
interpretation, and contractual term limitations.  

We receive benefits under loss share agreements with the FDIC in connection with the FDIC-assisted acquisition of Waccamaw Bank 
(“Waccamaw”) in June 2012. Under these loss share agreements, the FDIC agreed to cover 80% of most loans and foreclosed real estate losses. 
Loans covered under the agreements represented 13.21% of  

22  

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
Table of Contents  

our total loans held for investment as of June 30, 2012. We are subject to certain obligations under these agreements that prescribe and specify 
how to manage, service, report, and request reimbursement for losses incurred on covered assets. Our obligations under the loss share 
agreements are extensive, and failure to comply with any obligations could result in a specific asset, or group of assets, losing loss share 
coverage. Requests for reimbursement are subject to FDIC review and may be delayed or disallowed if we are not in compliance with our 
obligations. Losses projected to occur during the loss share term may not be realized until after the expiration of the applicable agreement; 
consequently, those losses may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. Our current loss estimates only include those 
projected to occur during the loss share period we expect reimbursement from the FDIC at the applicable reimbursement rate. In addition, we 
are subject to FDIC audits to ensure compliance with the loss share agreements. The loss share agreements are subject to interpretation by us 
and the FDIC; therefore, disagreements may arise regarding the coverage of losses, expenses, and contingencies.  

Our accounting estimates and risk management processes rely on analytical and forecasting models.  

The processes we use to estimate probable loan losses and to measure the fair value of financial instruments, as well as the processes used to 
estimate the effects of changing interest rates and other market measures on our financial condition and results of operations, depends upon the 
use of analytical and forecasting models. These models reflect assumptions that may not be accurate, particularly in times of market stress or 
other unforeseen circumstances. Even if these assumptions are adequate, the models may prove to be inadequate or inaccurate because of other 
flaws in their design or their implementation. If the models we use for interest rate risk and asset-liability management are inadequate, we may 
incur increased or unexpected losses upon changes in market interest rates or other market measures. If the models used for determining 
probable loan losses are inadequate, the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to support future charge-offs. If the models we use to 
measure the fair value of financial instruments are inadequate, the fair value of such financial instruments may fluctuate unexpectedly or may 
not accurately reflect what we could realize upon the sale or settlement of such financial instruments. Any such failure in our analytical or 
forecasting models could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.  

The repeal of the federal prohibitions on payment of interest on demand deposits could increase our interest expense.  

All federal prohibitions on the ability of financial institutions to pay interest on demand deposit accounts were repealed as part of the Dodd-
Frank Act beginning on July 21, 2011. As a result, some financial institutions have commenced offering interest on demand deposits to 
compete for customers. We do not yet know what interest rates other institutions may offer as market interest rates begin to increase. Our 
interest expense will increase and net interest margin will decrease if we begin offering interest on demand deposits to attract additional 
customers or maintain current customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of 
operations.  

Attractive acquisition opportunities may not be available in the future.  

We expect banking and financial companies, many with significantly greater resources, to compete for the acquisition of financial services 
businesses. This competition could increase the price of potential acquisitions that we believe are attractive. Acquisitions are subject to various 
regulatory approvals, and if we fail to receive appropriate regulatory approvals we will not be able to consummate an acquisition. Our 
regulators consider our capital, liquidity, profitability, regulatory compliance, level of goodwill and intangible assets, and other factors when 
considering acquisition and expansion proposals. Future acquisitions may be dilutive to our earnings and equity per share of our common stock 
and Series A Preferred Stock.  

Our goodwill may be determined to be impaired.  

As of December 31, 2013, our carrying balance of goodwill was $105.46 million. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more 
frequently if necessary, using quantitative and qualitative factors. When  

23  

   
Table of Contents  

available, quoted market prices in active markets are the best evidence of fair value and are used as the basis for measuring impairment. Other 
acceptable valuation methods include present value measurements based on multiples of earnings, revenues, or similar performance measures. 
If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, goodwill is determined to be impaired. Impairment charges may cause an 
adverse affect on our earnings and financial position. We recognized no goodwill impairment in 2013.  

We may lose members of our management team and have difficulty attracting skilled personnel.  

Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to attract and retain key people. Competition for the best people can be intense. The 
unexpected loss of key personnel could have a material adverse impact on our business due to the loss of certain skills, market knowledge, and 
industry experience and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel. Certain existing and proposed regulatory guidance 
on compensation may also negatively impact our ability to retain and attract skilled personnel.  

We may be required to pay higher FDIC insurance premiums or special assessments.  

Our deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC’s DIF and we are subject to deposit insurance premiums and assessments to 
maintain deposit insurance. We are unable to predict future insurance assessment rates; however, deterioration in our risk-based capital ratios 
or adjustments to base assessment rates may result in higher insurance premiums or special assessments. In addition, deterioration in banking 
and economic conditions and financial institution failures deplete the FDIC’s DIF and reduced the ratio of reserves to insured deposits. If the 
DIF is unable to meet funding requirements, increases in deposit insurance premium rates or special assessments may also be required. Future 
assessments, increases, or required prepayments related to FDIC insurance premiums may negatively affect our financial condition and results 
of operations.  

We may require additional capital in the future that may not be available when needed.  

We may need to raise additional capital in the future to strengthen our capital position, increase our liquidity, satisfy obligations, or pursue 
growth objectives. Our ability to raise additional capital depends on current conditions in capital markets, which are outside our control, and 
our financial performance. Certain economic conditions and declining market confidence may increase our cost of funds and limit our access to 
customary sources of capital, such as borrowings with other financial institutions, repurchase agreements, and availability under the FRB’s 
discount window. Events that limit access to capital markets and the inability to obtain capital may have a materially adverse effect on our 
business, financial condition, results of operations, and market value of common stock. We cannot provide any assurance that additional capital 
will be available, on acceptable terms or at all, in the future.  

Liquidity risk could impair our ability to fund operations.  

Liquidity is essential to our business and the inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, equity and debt offerings, or other sources 
could have a materially negative effect on our liquidity. Access to funding, with acceptable terms, adequate to finance our activities could be 
impaired by factors specific to our company, such as a decline in our credit rating; an increase in the cost of capital from financial capital 
markets; a decrease in business activity due to adverse regulatory action or other company specific event; or a decrease in depositor or investor 
confidence. Our access to liquidity could also be impaired by factors that affect the general financial services industry such as a severe 
disruption of financial markets, negative views and expectations concerning the industry, or decreases in business activity as a result of political 
or environmental events.  

We are subject to credit risk associated with the financial condition of other financial institutions.  

Financial institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, and other relationships. We have exposure to different 
industries and counterparties, and we routinely execute transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including brokers and 
dealers, commercial banks, investment  

24  

   
Table of Contents  

banks, investment companies, and other institutional clients. Our ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected 
by the failure, actions, and commercial soundness of other financial institutions. These transactions may expose us to credit risk if our 
counterparty or client defaults on their contractual obligation. Our credit risk may increase if the collateral we hold cannot be realized or 
liquidated at prices sufficient to recover the full amount of the loan or derivative exposure due to us. In the event of default, we may be required 
to provide collateral to secure the obligation to the counterparties. In the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving one of such 
counterparties, we may experience delays in recovering the assets posted as collateral or may incur a loss to the extent that the counterparty was 
holding collateral in excess of the obligation to such counterparty. Any losses resulting from our routine funding transactions may materially 
and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.  

We are subject to environmental liability risk associated with lending activities.  

A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real property. In the ordinary course of business, we foreclose on and take title to 
properties that secure certain loans. Hazardous or toxic substances could be found on properties we own. If substances are present, we may be 
liable for remediation costs, personal injury claims, and property damage and our ability to use or sell the property would be limited. We have 
policies and procedures in place that require environmental reviews before initiating foreclosure action on real property; however, these 
reviews may not detect all potential environmental hazards. Environmental laws that require us to incur substantial remediation costs, which 
could materially reduce the affected property’s value, and other liabilities associated with environmental hazards could have a material adverse 
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  

Our controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented.  

We review our internal controls over financial reporting quarterly and enhance controls in response to these assessments, internal and external 
audit, and regulatory recommendations. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, include certain assumptions and can 
only provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These controls may be circumvented by individual acts, 
collusion, or management override. Any failure or circumvention related to our controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations 
related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, results of operations, and financial 
condition.  

We continue to encounter technological change.  

The financial services industry continues to experience rapid technological change with the introduction of new, and increasingly complex, 
technology-driven products and services. In addition, the effective use of technology increases operational efficiency that enables financial 
service institutions to reduce costs. Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to provide products and services that satisfactorily meet 
the financial needs of our customers, as well as to realize additional efficiencies in our operations. We may fail to effectively use technology-
driven products and services to better serve our customers and increase operational efficiency or sufficiently invest in technology solutions and 
upgrades to ensure systems are operating properly. Further, many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in 
technology, which may adversely affect our ability to compete.  

We are subject to information security risks associated with the use of technology.  

We rely on communication and information systems, including those provided by third-party vendors, to conduct our business operations. Our 
security risks increase as our reliance on technology increases; consequently, the expectation to safeguard information by monitoring systems 
for potential failures, disruptions, and breakdowns has also increased. Risks associated with the use of technology include security breaches, 
operational failures and service interruptions, and reputational damages. These risks also apply to our third-party service providers. Our third-
party vendors include large entities with significant market presence in their respective fields; therefore, their services could be difficult to 
quickly replace in the event of operational failures or service interruption.

Table of Contents  

We rely on our technology-driven systems to conduct daily business and accounting operations that include the collection, processing, and 
retention of confidential financial and client information. We may be vulnerable to security breaches, such as employee error, cyber attacks, 
and viruses, beyond our control. In addition to security breaches, programming errors, vandalism, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and third-
party vendor disruptions may cause operational failures and service interruptions to our communication and information systems. Further, our 
systems may be temporarily disrupted during the period of implementation or upgrade. Security breaches and service interruptions related to 
our information systems could damage our reputation, which may cause us to lose customers, subject us to regulatory scrutiny, or expose us to 
civil litigation and financial liability.  

We periodically review our information security policies, procedures, disaster recovery plans, and financial condition of third-party vendors; 
however, there is no assurance that security risks will not occur, or if they do occur that our processes and procedures are implemented properly 
to accurately address such risks. Security risks, including those of third-party vendors, could affect our ability to deliver products and services 
to our customers, cause us to incur significant expense, or damage our reputation, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial 
condition and results of operations.  

We may be subject to claims and litigation pertaining to intellectual property.  

Banking and other financial services companies, such as the Company, rely on technology companies to provide information technology 
products and services necessary to support the Company’s day-to-day operations. Technology companies frequently enter into litigation based 
on allegations of patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. In addition, patent holding companies seek to monetize 
patents they have purchased or otherwise obtained. Competitors of the Company’s vendors, or other individuals or companies, have from time 
to time claimed to hold intellectual property sold to the Company by its vendors. Such claims may increase in the future as the financial 
services sector becomes more reliant on information technology vendors. The plaintiffs in these actions frequently seek injunctions and 
substantial damages.  

Regardless of the scope or validity of such patents or other intellectual property rights, or the merits of any claims by potential or actual 
litigants, the Company may have to engage in protracted litigation. Such litigation is often expensive, time consuming, disruptive to the 
Company’s operations, and distracting to management. If the Company is found to infringe upon one or more patents or other intellectual 
property rights, it may be required to pay substantial damages or royalties to a third party. In certain cases, the Company may consider entering 
into licensing agreements for disputed intellectual property, although no assurance can be given that such licenses can be obtained on 
acceptable terms or that litigation will not occur. These licenses may also significantly increase the Company’s operating expenses. If legal 
matters related to intellectual property claims were resolved against the Company or settled, the Company could be required to make payments 
in amounts that could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.  

Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, and other external events could significantly impact our business.  

Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, and other adverse external events could have a significant impact on our ability to 
conduct business. In addition, such events could affect the stability of our deposit base, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding 
loans, impair the value of collateral securing loans, cause significant property damage, result in a loss of revenue, and/or cause us to incur 
additional expenses. Any such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect 
on our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Associated with Our Common Stock  

Our common stock price can be volatile.  

Stock price volatility may make it more difficult for holders of tour common stock to resell when desired. Our common stock price can 
fluctuate significantly in response to a variety of factors, including, among other things:  

   • 

   • 

   • 

   • 

   • 

   • 

• 

   • 

   • 

   • 

   Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly results of operations.  
   Recommendations by securities analysts.  
   Operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem us comparable to.  
   News reports relating to trends, concerns, and other issues in the financial services industry.  
   Perceptions in the marketplace regarding our Company and/or competitors.  
   New technology used, or services offered, by competitors.  
   Significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments by, or involving, our 
Company or competitors.  
   Failure to integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions.  
   Changes in government regulations.  
   Geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts.  

General market fluctuations, industry factors, political conditions, and general economic conditions and events, such as economic slowdowns, 
recessions, interest rate changes, or credit loss trends, could also cause our common stock price to decrease regardless of operating results.  

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

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

We may not continue to pay dividends on our common stock in the future.  

Our common stockholders are only entitled to receive dividends when declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available for 
such payments. Although we have historically declared cash dividends on our common stock, we are not required to do so, and may reduce or 
eliminate our common stock dividend in the future. This could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Also, the Company is a 
financial holding company and our ability to declare and pay dividends is dependent on certain federal regulatory considerations, including the 
guidelines of the Federal Reserve regarding capital adequacy and dividends.  

An investment in our common stock is not an insured deposit.  

Our common stock is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured against loss by the FDIC, any other deposit insurance fund, or by any 
other public or private entity. Investment in our common stock is inherently risky for the reasons described in this “Risk Factors” section and 
elsewhere in this report and is subject to the same market forces that affect the price of common stock in any company. As a result, holders of 
our common stock could lose some, or all, of their investment.

Certain banking laws may have an anti-takeover effect.  

Provisions of federal banking laws, including regulatory approval requirements, could make it more difficult to be acquired by a third party, 
even if perceived to be beneficial to our shareholders. These provisions effectively inhibit a non-negotiated merger or other business 
combination, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.  

Our Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to our common stock.  

On May 20, 2011, we completed the private placement of 18,921 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which carries a 6% dividend rate. 
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 69 shares of our common stock at any time and mandatorily converts after five years. 
We may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at face value after May 20, 2014, the third anniversary. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior 
to shares of our common stock. As a result, we make dividend payments on our Series A Preferred Stock before our common stock, and in the 
event of bankruptcy, dissolution, or liquidation, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be satisfied before distributions are made to 
holders of our common stock. If we do not remain current in the payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, dividends may not be 
paid on our common stock. In addition, dividends declared on the Series A Preferred Stock reduce any net income available to our common 
stockholders and earnings per common share. As of December 31, 2013, 15,251 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding.

2013, of which 49 properties were owned and 21 properties were leased or located on leased land. Greenpoint’s headquarters is located at 711 
Gallimore Dairy Road, High Point, North Carolina. Including the headquarters, our insurance subsidiary operated 9 offices throughout 
Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina as of December 31, 2013, of which 1 was owned, 4 were leased, and 4 were located within our

Legal Proceedings. 

We are currently a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims in the normal course of business. Although we are unable to assess the 
ultimate outcome of each of these matters with certainty, we are of the belief that the resolution of these actions should not have a material 
adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends on its common stock is dependent on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the holding company, 
which is subject to various regulatory restrictions and limitations. See “Regulatory Restrictions on Dividends; Source of Strength” in the 
“Regulation and Supervision – First Community Bancshares, Inc.” section and “Restrictions on Distribution of Subsidiary Bank Dividends and 
Assets” in the “Regulation and Supervision – First Community Bank” section in Part I, Item 1 of this report. We pay dividends on our common 
stock only if all accrued and unpaid dividends are fully paid on our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. There were 15,251 shares of Series A 
Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2013, and 17,421 shares outstanding as of December 31, 2012. Cash dividends paid on Series 
A Preferred Stock totaled $992 thousand in 2013, $1.12 million in 2012, and $558 thousand in 2011. Cash dividends paid on common stock 
totaled $9.48 million in 2013, $8.16 million in 2012, and $7.16 million in 2011. Cash dividends paid per share on common stock totaled $0.48 
in 2013, $0.43 in 2012, and $0.40 in 2011.  

Purchases of Equity Securities  

On October 22, 2013, our Board of Directors approved changes to our stock repurchase plan to authorize the repurchase and retention of up to 
3,000,000 shares of our outstanding common stock, an increase of 1,900,000 shares. Share repurchases may be made from time to time on the 
open market or in privately negotiated transactions. We repurchased 1,739,601 shares in 2013 and 67,438 shares in 2012 under the plan. As of 
February 28, 2014, 131,500 shares had been repurchased in 2014.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. 

Unless the context suggests otherwise, the terms “First Community,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to First Community Bancshares, 
Inc. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of 
operations. This MD&A contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and 
accompanying notes, as well as other financial information included in this report.  

Executive Overview  

First Community Bancshares, Inc. (“the Company”) is a financial holding company, headquartered in Bluefield, Virginia, that provides 
commercial banking services through its wholly-owned subsidiary First Community Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank operates under the trade 
names First Community Bank in West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina and Peoples Community Bank, a Division of First Community 
Bank, in Tennessee and South Carolina. The Bank has positioned itself as a regional community bank that provides an alternative to larger 
banks, which often place less emphasis on personal relationships, and smaller community banks, which lack the capital and resources to 
efficiently serve customer needs. The Company provides insurance services through its wholly-owned subsidiary Greenpoint Insurance Group, 
Inc. (“Greenpoint”), which operates under the Greenpoint name and under the trade names First Community Insurance Services (“FCIS”) and 
Carolina Insurers Associates in North Carolina, Carr &Hyde Insurance and FCIS in Virginia, and FCIS in West Virginia. The Bank offers 
wealth management and investment advice through its wholly-owned subsidiary First Community Wealth Management (“FCWM”) and the 
Bank’s Trust Division.  

Our efforts are focused on building financial partnerships and creating more enduring and complete relationships with businesses and 
individuals through a personal and local approach to banking and financial services. Our operations are guided by a strategic plan focusing on 
organic growth that may be supplemented by strategic acquisitions. While our mission remains that of a community bank, management 
believes that entry into new markets may accelerate our growth rate by diversifying the demographics of our customer base and by generally 
increasing our sales and service network.  

Economy  

The regional economies we operate in have shown positive and stable aspects; however, there have been significant declines in residential 
development and construction activity, which are consistent with national trends. These declines have led to contraction in areas that have 
historically been important components of our lending activities. The following list summarizes information related to the regional economies 
we operate in:  

• 

• 

   • 

   • 

   • 

   West Virginia and Southwest Virginia – These economies have significant exposure to extractive industries, such as coal, timber, and 
natural gas. Unemployment levels have generally been lower than the national average.  
   Central North Carolina – This economy has suffered in recent years due to foreign competition in the furniture and textile industries and 
consolidation in the financial services industry. Despite these detractions, these economies continue to benefit from large regional and 
national companies operating in the Triad and Central Piedmont regions.  
   Southeastern North Carolina and Northeastern South Carolina – These economies benefit from tourism and military activities.  
   Central Virginia – This economy has, in recent years, benefited from key corporate and government activities.  
   Eastern Tennessee – This economy continues to benefit from the stability of higher education, healthcare services, and tourism.

Competition  

We continue to encounter strong competition for growth in loans and deposits and increased market share. Many of the markets we target are 
being entered into by other banks located in nearby and distant markets. The expansion of banks, credit unions, and other non-depository 
financial institutions over recent years has intensified competitive pressures on core deposit generation and retention. Competitive factors that 
impact our Company include pressure on interest yields, product fees, loan structure, and loan terms; however, we have countered these 
pressures with our relationship style of banking, competitive pricing, cost efficiencies, and disciplined approach to loan underwriting.  

Recent Acquisition and Divestiture Activity  

On June 8, 2012, we entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with loss share arrangements with the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation (“FDIC”) to purchase certain assets and assume substantially all of the customer deposits and certain liabilities of Waccamaw 
Bank (“Waccamaw”), a full service community bank headquartered in Whiteville, North Carolina. Under the loss share agreements, the FDIC 
covers 80% of most loan and foreclosed real estate losses. Waccamaw’s results of operations are included in the consolidated financial 
statements from the date of acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, the comparison between 2012 and 2011 is impacted by increased levels 
of assets, liabilities, income, and expense. At acquisition, Waccamaw had total assets of approximately $500.64 million, loans of $318.35 
million, and deposits of $414.13 million. Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition was $10.62 million.  

On May 31, 2012, we completed the acquisition of Peoples Bank of Virginia (“Peoples”), a full service community bank headquartered in 
Richmond, Virginia. Peoples’ results of operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. As a result 
of the acquisition, the comparison between 2012 and 2011 is impacted by increased levels of assets, liabilities, common stock, income, and 
expense. At acquisition, Peoples had total assets of approximately $275.76 million, loans of $184.84 million, and deposits of $232.75 million. 
Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition was $10.32 million.  

We issued cash consideration of $150 thousand in 2013 to purchase one insurance agency. We received aggregate cash proceeds of $1.58 
million in 2011 from the sale of two insurance agencies. Acquisition and divestiture activity associated with insurance agencies is included in 
the consolidated financial statements from the transaction date; therefore, comparisons between fiscal years are impacted by varying levels of 
assets, liabilities, income, and expense.  

Insurance Service s  

We offer insurance services through Greenpoint, a full-service insurance agency that provides commercial and personal lines of insurance. 
Revenues are primarily derived from commissions paid by issuing companies on the sale of policies. Commission revenue totaled $5.93 
million in 2013, an increase of $190 thousand, or 3.31%, compared to the same period of 2012, which is due to an increase in direct bill 
property and casualty insurance income. Commission revenue totaled $5.74 million in 2012, a decrease of $454 thousand, or 7.33%, compared 
to the same period of 2011. The decrease in revenue reflects the sale of two agency offices during 2011.  

Wealth Management Services  

We offer trust management, estate administration, and investment advisory services through FCWM and the Bank’s Trust Division, which 
reported combined assets under management of $706 million as of December 31, 2013, and $876 million as of December 31, 2012. These 
assets are not our assets, but are managed under various fee-based arrangements as fiduciary or agent. The decrease in managed assets is 
attributed to FCWM. The Trust Division manages inter vivos trusts and trusts under will, develops and administers employee benefit and 
individual retirement plans, and manages and settles estates. Fiduciary fees for these services are charged on a schedule related to the size, 
nature, and complexity of the account. Revenues consist primarily of commissions on assets under management and investment advisory fees.

Critical Accounting Estimates  

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States 
and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Our financial position and results of operations require management to make 
judgments and estimates to develop the amounts reflected and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Different assumptions in the 
application of these estimates could result in material changes to our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. 
Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events believed to 
be reasonable under the circumstances that are periodically evaluated. These estimates are generally necessary when assets and liabilities are 
required to be recorded at estimated fair value, a decline in the value of an asset carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an 
impairment write-down or establishment of a valuation reserve, or an asset or liability needs to be recorded based upon the probability of 
occurrence of a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. Fair values and 
information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or, when available, 
are provided by third-party sources. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated by management 
primarily through the use of financial modeling techniques and appraisal estimates.  

Our accounting policies are fundamental in understanding MD&A and the disclosures presented in Item 8, “Financial Statements and 
Supplementary Data,” of this report. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in 
Item 8 of this report. These policies may involve significant estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on our financial condition or 
operating performance due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of 
such matters to change. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, 
and estimates underlying those amounts, we have identified the establishment and determination of investment securities, the allowance for 
loan losses, business combinations, intangible assets, and income taxes as the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex 
judgments.  

Investment Securities  

Independent third parties are used to determine the fair values of our investment securities. Inputs provided by third parties are reviewed and 
corroborated by management. Evaluations of the causes of the unrealized losses are performed to determine whether the impairment is 
temporary or other-than-temporary in nature. We review our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of other-than-temporary 
impairment (“OTTI”). The analysis differs depending upon the type of investment security being analyzed. Considerations in determining 
whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired include, among others, our intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time 
sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value, or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before 
recovering its fair value; the severity of the loss and the length of time fair value has been below amortized cost; the expectation of the 
security’s future performance; and the creditworthiness of the security’s issuer. If the impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, the 
value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized. See Note 3, “Investment Securities,” to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report.  

Allowance for Loan Losses  

Our quarterly review of the allowance methodology and relevant factors serves as the primary means management evaluates the adequacy of 
the allowance for loan losses. The determination of our allowance for loan losses requires management to make significant estimates and 
assumptions. While management utilizes its best judgment and available information, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent 
upon a variety of factors beyond our control, including the performance of our loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates, and the 
view of regulatory authorities. These uncertainties may result in material changes to the allowance for loan losses in the near term; however, 
the amount of the change cannot reasonably be estimated.  

35  

   
Table of Contents  

The Company’s allowance for loan losses consists of reserves assigned to specific loans and credit relationships and general reserves assigned 
to loans not separately identified that have been segmented into groups with similar risk characteristics, according to our internal risk grades. 
General reserve allocations are based on management’s judgments of qualitative and quantitative factors about macro and micro economic 
conditions reflected within the loan portfolio and the economy. Factors considered in this evaluation include, but are not limited to, probable 
losses from loan and other credit arrangements, general economic conditions, changes in credit concentrations or pledged collateral, historical 
loan loss experience, and trends in portfolio volume, maturities, composition, delinquencies, and nonaccruals. Historical loss rates for each risk 
grade of commercial loans are adjusted by environmental factors to estimate the amount of reserve needed by segment. Individually significant 
loans require additional analysis such as the borrower’s underlying cash flow and capacity for debt repayment, specific business conditions, 
and value of secondary sources of repayment; consequently, this analysis may result in the identification of weakness and a corresponding need 
for a specific reserve.  

Third-party collateral valuations are regularly obtained and evaluated to assist management in determining potential credit impairment and the 
amount of impairment to record. Internal collateral valuations are generally performed within two to four weeks of identifying the initial 
potential impairment. The internal evaluation compares the original appraisal to current local real estate market conditions and considers 
experience and expected liquidation costs. When a third-party evaluation is received, it is reviewed for reasonableness. Once the evaluation is 
reviewed and accepted, discounts are applied to fair market value, based on, but not limited to, our historical liquidation experience for like 
collateral, resulting in an estimated net realizable value. The estimated net realizable value is compared to the outstanding loan balance to 
determine the appropriate amount of specific impairment reserve. Specific reserves are generally recorded for impaired loans while third-party 
evaluations are in process and for impaired loans that continue to make some form of payment. While waiting for receipt of the third-party 
appraisal, we regularly review the relationship to identify any potential adverse developments and begin the tasks necessary to gain control of 
the collateral and prepare it for liquidation, including, but not limited to, engagement of counsel, inspection of collateral, and continued 
communication with the borrower, if appropriate.  

Generally, the only difference between current appraised value, adjusted for liquidation costs, and the carrying amount of the loan, less the 
specific reserve, is any downward adjustment to appraised value that we determine appropriate, such as the costs to sell the property and a 
deflator for the devaluation of property when banks are the sellers. Impaired loans that do not meet the aforementioned criteria and do not have 
a specific reserve have typically been written down through partial charge-offs to net realizable value. Based on prior experience, the Company 
rarely returns loans to performing status after they have been partially charged off. Credits identified as impaired move quickly through the 
process towards ultimate resolution except in cases involving bankruptcy and various state judicial processes, which may extend the time for 
ultimate resolution.  

An independent third party is used to assist management in the determination of the changes in cash flows, and the amount of possible 
impairment, related to our purchased performing loans and purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loan pools. PCI loan pools are evaluated 
separately from non-PCI loans in the determination of the allowance. See Note 6, “Allowance for Loan Losses,” to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements in Item 8 of this report.  

Business Combinations  

The Company may engage in business combinations with other companies. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, all 
identifiable acquired assets, including purchased loans, and liabilities are recorded at fair value. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to 
one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information regarding the closing date fair values becomes available. 
Management makes significant estimates and exercises significant judgment in accounting for business combinations. Any excess of the 
purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the price of the acquired business is less than the net assets 
acquired, a gain on the purchase is recorded. Financial assets and liabilities are typically valued using discount models that apply current 
discount rates to streams of cash flow. Valuation  

36  

   
Table of Contents  

methods require the use of assumptions, which can result in alternate valuations, varying levels of goodwill, or bargain purchase gains, and in 
some cases amortization expense or accretion income. Management must also make estimates for the useful or economic lives of certain 
acquired assets and liabilities. We review the purchased loan portfolio quarterly for changes in cash flows and possible impairment using input 
provided from an independent third party. Management’s assumptions regarding purchased loans and intangible assets may significantly 
influence the allowance for loan losses. See Note 2, “Acquisitions, Divestitures, and Branching Activity,” and Note 6, “Allowance for Loan 
Losses,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report.  

The Company may also engage in FDIC-assisted business combinations. In 2012, we entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with 
loss share arrangements with the FDIC to purchase certain assets and assume substantially all of the customer deposits and certain liabilities of 
Waccamaw. Pursuant to the loss share agreements, the FDIC agreed to cover 80% of covered assets consisting of most loan and other real 
estate losses. Gains and recoveries on covered assets offset prior losses and are reimbursed to the FDIC at the loss share percentage at the time 
of recovery. The loss share agreement for single family covered assets provides FDIC loss sharing and recovery reimbursement to the FDIC for 
ten years. The loss share agreement for commercial covered assets provides for FDIC loss sharing for five years and recovery reimbursement to 
the FDIC for eight years. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the FDIC indemnification asset was recorded at fair value 
using projected cash flows based on expected reimbursements and the applicable loss share percentages. We incur expenses related to covered 
assets, and certain of these costs are reimbursable from the FDIC through monthly and quarterly claims we submit. Estimated reimbursements 
from the FDIC are netted against covered expenses in the statements of income. We regularly review the fair value of the FDIC 
indemnification asset with input from a third-party provider. Post-acquisition adjustments to the indemnification asset are measured on the 
same basis as the underlying covered assets. See Note 7, “FDIC Indemnification Asset,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of 
this report.  

Intangible Assets  

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated 
to the appropriate reporting unit when acquired. We maintain two reporting units, Community Banking and Insurance Services. Goodwill is 
tested annually in the fourth quarter using a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting 
unit is less than its carrying amount. Qualitative factors may include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, our 
overall financial performance, and changes in our stock price. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of either reporting 
unit is less than its carrying amount, we perform a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Step 1 consists of calculating and comparing 
the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its book value, 
no goodwill impairment exists. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is greater than its calculated fair value, goodwill impairment may 
exist and Step 2 is required to determine the amount of the impairment loss.  

Core deposit intangible assets represent the future earnings potential of acquired deposit relationships. These deposits are amortized over their 
estimated remaining useful lives, as determined by management. Other identifiable intangible assets primarily represent the rights arising from 
contractual arrangements and are amortized using the straight-line method. See Note 9, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report.  

Income Taxes  

The establishment of provisions for federal and state income taxes is a complex area of accounting that involves the use of judgments and 
estimates in applying relevant tax statutes. We operate in multiple state tax jurisdictions, which requires the appropriate allocation of income 
and expense to each state based on a variety of apportionment or allocation bases. In addition, audits by federal and state tax authorities may 
reveal liabilities that differ from our estimates and provisions. We continually evaluate our exposure to possible tax assessments arising from 
audits and record an estimate of possible exposure based on current facts and circumstances.  

37  

   
Table of Contents  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates applicable to the period temporary differences are expected to be 
realized or settled. As changes in tax laws and rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income 
taxes. When evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that some, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be recovered, the carrying value 
of the asset may be reduced by a valuation allowance. Increases or decreases in the valuation allowance result in increases or decreases to the 
provision for income taxes. See Note 16, “Income Taxes,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report.

2013 Compared to 2012 . Net income decreased in 2013 due to net amortization related to the FDIC indemnification asset, an increased 
provision for loan losses, a one-time contractual severance payment, and a decrease in other operating income resulting from an out-of-period 
adjustment in 2012. These decreases were offset by a reduction in merger related expenses and a decline in interest expense on deposits and 
borrowings.  

During our core system conversion in 2012, we discovered that certain loan charge-offs reported in prior periods, beginning in 2007, were 
overstated due to not recognizing the impact of interest payments that had been applied to principal for loans on nonaccrual status. The 
overstated charge-offs resulted in an overstated provision for loan losses and corresponding understated pre-tax income. Annual pre-tax income 
was understated $938 thousand in 2011, $639 thousand in 2010, and $321 thousand in 2009. Charge-offs were overstated $2.39 million 
between 2007 and 2011. Management analyzed the error and determined that prior years were not materially misstated and correcting the error 
in 2012 would not materially misstate 2012 results. We recorded a $2.39 million increase (“out-of-period adjustment”) to other income in 2012 
to correct the understatement of pre-tax income.  

2012 Compared to 2011 . Net income increased in 2012 due to a significant rise in loan interest income from the Peoples and Waccamaw 
acquisitions, a reduced provision for loan losses, a decrease in interest expense on deposits, and an increase in other operating income resulting 
from the out-of-period adjustment. These increases

were offset by the recognition of merger expenses from the Peoples and Waccamaw acquisitions, a decrease in the net gain on sale of 
securities, and an increase in salaries and employee benefits resulting from the expanded branch network.  

Net Interest Income  

Net interest income, our largest contributor to earnings, comprised 75.48% of total net interest and noninterest income in 2013, 71.04% in 
2012, and 66.96% in 2011. For the following discussion, net interest income is presented on a tax equivalent basis to provide a comparison 
among all types of interest earning assets. The tax equivalent basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and 
investments. Although non-GAAP, management believes this financial measure is more widely used in the financial services industry and 
provides better comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to 
monitor net interest income performance and manage the composition of our balance sheet. The following table presents our average 
consolidated balance sheets in the periods indicated:

Interest and yield on loans include accretion income from the Peoples and Waccamaw acquired loan portfolios. We expect the purchase 
accounting interest accretion to continue to decline in future periods due to acquired portfolio attrition. The following table presents net interest

(1)  Fully taxable equivalent at the rate of 35% (“FTE”). The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefits of income on certain tax exempt loans and 
investments using the federal statutory rate of 35% for each period presented. The Company believes this measure to be the preferred 
industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and nontaxable amounts. 

(2)  Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances outstanding but with no related interest income during the period of nonaccrual. 
(3)  Represents the difference between the yield on earning assets and cost of funds. 
(4)  Represents tax equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets. 

2013 Compared to 2012 . Net interest income under GAAP increased $1.59 million, or 1.76%, and tax equivalent net interest income increased 
$1.58 million, or 1.70%, in 2013. Changes in the average balances of and yields/rates on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities resulted 
in a 13 basis point decrease in the net interest rate spread and a 14 basis point decrease in the net interest margin.  

Loan interest accretion stemming from the Peoples and Waccamaw acquisitions totaled $14.73 million in 2013 and $12.87 million in 2012. 
Interest accretion income received in cash totaled $7.02 million in 2013 and $4.16 million in 2012. Excluding non-cash accretion income, the 
yield on loans decreased 23 basis points in 2013, which compares to a decrease of 31 basis points under GAAP. Excluding non-cash accretion 
income, the net interest margin decreased 7 basis points in 2013, which compared to a decrease of 14 basis points under GAAP. We expect the 
effect of accretion income on acquired loans to be significantly less in future periods.  

Average earning assets increased $113.10 million, or 5.15%, in 2013 primarily resulting from a full year impact of the increased loan portfolio 
from the Peoples and Waccamaw acquisitions and loan growth in our non-acquired portfolio. The yield on earning assets decreased 26 basis 
points in 2013, which was largely due to a 32 basis point decrease in the yield on loans, due to the continued low rate environment, and a 23 
basis point decrease in the yield on available-for-sale securities, due to new investment and reinvestment of sales proceeds, maturities, 
prepayments, and cash in lower yielding securities. As of December 31, 2013, other earning assets

included held-to-maturity securities, that continued to decline as they were called or matured and not replaced, and interest-bearing deposits 
with banks, primarily comprised of excess liquidity kept at the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) of Richmond bearing overnight market rates.  

As of December 31, 2013, interest-bearing liabilities included interest-bearing deposits; federal funds purchased; retail repurchase agreements, 
consisting of collateralized retail deposits and commercial treasury accounts; wholesale repurchase agreements; Federal Home Loan Bank 
(“FHLB”) advances; and other borrowings. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $78.34 million, or 4.20%, in 2013 primarily resulting 
from a full year impact of the increased deposit portfolio from the Peoples and Waccamaw acquisitions. The yield on interest-bearing liabilities 
decreased 13 basis points in 2013, which was largely due to an 11 basis point decrease in the rate on interest-bearing deposits. Average interest-
bearing deposits increased $96.64 million, or 6.22%, in 2013. Average interest-bearing demand deposits increased $55.96 million, or 18.29%, 
and savings deposits, which include money market accounts and savings accounts, increased $44.84 million, or 9.51%, in 2013 while average 
time deposits decreased $4.16 million. Average borrowings decreased $18.30 million, or 5.91%, in 2013 largely due to the prepayment of 
FHLB borrowings of $11.47 million and wholesale repurchase agreements of $8.15 million acquired from Waccamaw.  

2012 Compared to 2011 . Net interest income under GAAP increased $18.03 million, or 25.03%, and tax equivalent net interest income 
increased $17.82 million, or 23.76%, in 2012. Changes in the average balances of and yields/rates on earning assets and interest-bearing 
liabilities resulted in a 38 basis points increase in the net interest rate spread and a 36 basis point increase in the net interest margin in 2012.  

Loan interest accretion from the Peoples and Waccamaw acquisitions totaled $12.87 million in 2012 of which $4.16 million was received in 
cash. Excluding non-cash accretion income, the yield on loans decreased 37 basis points in 2012, which compares to an increase of 17 basis 
points under GAAP. Excluding non-cash accretion income, the net interest margin decreased 4 basis points in 2012, which compared to an 
increase of 36 basis points under GAAP.  

Average earning assets increased $257.70 million, or 13.31%, in 2012 primarily resulting from loans acquired from Peoples and Waccamaw. 
The yield on earning assets increased 11 basis points in 2012, which was largely due to a 17 basis point increase in the yield on loans, due to 
the effect of interest accretion on acquired loans, offset by a 61 basis point decrease in the yield on available-for-sale securities, due to new 
investment and reinvestment of proceeds from sales, maturities, prepayments, and cash in lower yielding securities. As of December 31, 2012, 
other earning assets included held-to-maturity securities and interest-bearing deposits with banks, comprised primarily of excess liquidity kept 
at the FRB bearing overnight market rates.  

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $190.79 million, or 11.40%, in 2012 primarily resulting from liabilities assumed from Peoples and 
Waccamaw. The yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 27 basis points in 2012, which was largely due to a 29 basis point decrease in the 
rate on interest-bearing deposits, primarily time deposits, as a result of the sustained low rate environment. As of December 31, 2012, other 
interest-bearing liabilities included federal funds purchased; retail repurchase agreements, consisting of collateralized retail deposits and 
commercial treasury accounts; wholesale repurchase agreements; FHLB advances; and other borrowings. The decrease in the average balance 
of retail repurchase agreements was primarily due to lower balances in commercial treasury accounts in the slow economy, which were slightly 
offset by the Peoples and Waccamaw acquisitions.  

Provision for Loan Losses  

The provision for loan losses is the amount added to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted in order to bring the 
allowance to a level management determines necessary to absorb probable losses in the existing loan portfolio. The provision charged to 
operations was increased by $2.53 million in 2013 compared to 2012 due to a significant increase in loan charge-offs, primarily attributable to 
losses created by the

sale of four problem loans totaling $2.64 million, and providing a provision for the acquired PCI portfolio. The provision attributed to PCI 
loans was $755 thousand in 2013, of which $296 thousand was charged to operations and $451 thousand was recorded through the FDIC 
indemnification asset to reflect the indemnified portion of the post-acquisition exposure. The provision charged to operations was reduced by 
$3.37 million in 2012 compared to 2011 primarily due to a continued general downward trend in non-covered net charge-offs. No provision 
was recorded for PCI loans in 2012. See “Allowance for Loan Losses” in the “Financial Condition” section below.  

Noninterest Income  

Noninterest income consists of all revenues not included in interest and fee income related to earning assets. Noninterest income comprised 
24.52% of total net interest and noninterest income in 2013, 28.96% in 2012, and 33.04% in 2011. The following table presents the 
components of, and changes in, noninterest income in the periods indicated:

2013 Compared to 2012 . Noninterest income decreased $6.94 million, or 18.90%, in 2013. Wealth management revenues, which include fees 
and commissions for trust and investment advisory services, decreased as a result of the departure of certain employees at FCWM. Other 
service charges and fees increased primarily from ATM fee income. We incurred OTTI charges of $320 thousand in 2013 compared to $942 
thousand in 2012, related to a non-Agency mortgage-backed security (“MBS”), and realized a net gain of $399 thousand on the sale of 
securities. See Note 3, “Investment Securities,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report. We recorded net amortization 
related to the FDIC indemnification asset of $5.60 million as a result of improved loss estimates in the covered Waccamaw loan portfolio. 
Other operating income decreased in 2013 primarily due to the out-of-period adjustment in 2012 that positively impacted income. Excluding 
the out-of-period adjustment, other operating income increased $888 thousand, or 20.43%, in 2013. Significant components of other operating 
income also included a loyalty incentive from a third-party vendor of $353 thousand, increases in dividend income of $327 thousand, a net gain 
on debt prepayments of $296 thousand, and a decrease in rental income of $209 thousand.  

Excluding the impact from OTTI charges, the net gain on the sale of securities, the net accretion/amortization on the FDIC indemnification 
asset, the net gain on debt prepayments, and the out-of-period adjustment, noninterest income increased $677 thousand, or 1.97%, to $34.99 
million in 2013 compared with $34.32 million in 2012.  

2012 Compared to 2011 . Noninterest income increased $1.18 million, or 3.31%, in 2012. Wealth management revenues increased due to 
income from FCWM. Service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges and fees increased primarily from fees and ATM income 
related to the Waccamaw acquisition. Insurance commissions decreased in 2012 due to lower profit-sharing commissions from our carriers in 
the first quarter of

2012 and higher loss experience on our customers’ policies. Further, commissions in 2012 excluded the impact from agency offices sold as part 
of a strategic realignment during the third quarter of 2011. We incurred OTTI charges of $942 thousand in 2012 compared to $2.29 million in 
2011, related to a non-Agency MBS, and realized a net gain of $483 thousand on the sale of securities. See Note 3, “Investment Securities,” to 
the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report. We recorded net accretion related to the FDIC indemnification asset of $458 
thousand to recognize loss estimates in the covered Waccamaw loan portfolio. Other operating income increased in 2012 primarily from the 
out-of-period adjustment to correct understated pre-tax income in prior periods. Excluding the out-of-period adjustment, other operating 
income increased $459 thousand, or 11.81%, in 2012. Significant components of other operating income also included gains related to 
insurance agency sales of $365 thousand and net gain on the sale of certain fixed assets of $203 thousand.  

Excluding the impact from OTTI charges, the net gain on the sale of securities, the net accretion on the FDIC indemnification asset, and the 
out-of-period adjustment, noninterest income increased $1.76 million, or 5.41%, to $34.32 million in 2012 compared with $32.56 million in 
2011.

2013 Compared to 2012 . Noninterest expense increased $602 thousand, or 0.77%, in 2013. Salaries and employee benefits increased largely 
from a one-time charge to accrue for contractual executive severance of $1.07 million. Exclusive of the severance charge, salaries and 
employee benefits increased $1.50 million, or 3.87%. Employee benefits included increases in medical expense of $735 thousand, incentive 
stock compensation expense of $368 thousand, and retirement plan expense of $342 thousand. Salaries and employee benefits attributed to the 
Peoples and Waccamaw acquisitions totaled $5.05 million in 2013, which represents an increase of $1.26 million compared to 2012. Full-time 
equivalent employees, calculated using the number of hours worked, totaled 729 as of December 31, 2013, compared to 760 as of 
December 31, 2012. Occupancy, furniture, and equipment expense increased $982 thousand, or 8.91%, in 2013, which included increased 
depreciation costs in connection with the Waccamaw acquisition and core operating system of $856 thousand. We incurred merger related costs 
of $56 thousand in 2013 compared to $5.09 million in 2012 in connection with the Peoples and Waccamaw acquisitions. The increase in other 
operating expense included charges related to seven scheduled branch closures/consolidations of $1.52 million, slated to occur during the first 
half of 2014, and a net loss on sales and expenses on OREO of $2.04 million in 2013 compared to $1.89 million in 2012. Significant 
components of other operating expense also included increases in legal fees of $469 thousand, incentive stock compensation expense to 
directors of $158 thousand, and communication expenses of $157 thousand.

2012 Compared to 2011 . Noninterest expense increased $9.47 million, or 13.74% in 2012. Salaries and employee benefits increased 
significantly as a result of the partial year impact from the Peoples and Waccamaw acquisitions completed during the second quarter of 2012, 
which accounted for an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $3.80 million. Employee benefits included increases in incentive 
compensation costs of $1.94 million and Supplemental Executive Retention Plan expense of $379 thousand, while medical insurance expenses 
decreased $1.56 million, due to lower claims, and deferred $349 thousand less in direct loan origination costs, due to lower origination 
volumes. Full-time equivalent employees totaled 760 as of December 31, 2012, compared to 633 as of December 31, 2011. The Peoples and 
Waccamaw acquisitions added 101 full-time equivalent employees. Occupancy, furniture, and equipment expense increased $1.25 million, or 
12.76%, primarily as a result of the expanded branch network associated with the Peoples and Waccamaw acquisitions. FDIC premiums and 
assessments decreased as a result of modifications in the FDIC’s assessment methodology. We incurred merger related costs of $5.09 million in 
2012 in connection with the Peoples and Waccamaw acquisitions. The increase in other operating expense was primarily attributed to our 
expanded branch network and legal expense, consulting fees, and travel related expenses incurred in the Waccamaw acquisition. Significant 
components of other operating expense also included increases in other service fees of $559 thousand, office supplies expense of $466 
thousand, and legal expenses of $348 thousand, which were offset by a decrease in advertising expenses of $262 thousand. The net loss on 
sales and expenses on OREO totaled $1.89 million in 2013 compared to $3.08 million in 2012.  

Income Tax Expense  

2013 Compared to 2012 . Income tax as a percentage of pretax income may vary significantly from statutory rates due to permanent 
differences, which are items of income and expense excluded by law from the calculation of taxable income. Our most significant permanent 
differences generally include interest income on municipal securities, which are exempt from federal income tax, and increases in the cash 
surrender value of officers’ life insurance policies. Income tax expense decreased $3.22 million, or 22.79%, and the effective rate decreased 
121 basis points to 31.88% in 2013. The decrease in the effective tax rate was largely due to a decrease in taxable revenues as a percent of net 
earnings.  

2012 Compared to 2011 . Income tax increased $4.56 million, or 47.63%, and the effective rate increased 74 basis points to 33.08% in 2012. 
The increase in the effective tax rate was largely due to an increase in taxable revenues as a percent of net earnings and a decrease in the 
relative amounts of nontaxable revenues.  

Non-GAAP Financial Measures  

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides investors with important information about our 
operating expense control and efficiency of operations. Management also believes this ratio focuses attention on our core operating 
performance over time and is highly useful in comparing period-to-period operating performance of core business operations. However, this 
measure is supplemental and is not a substitute for an analysis of performance based on GAAP measures. Our efficiency may not be 
comparable to efficiency ratios reported by other financial institutions.  

Our efficiency ratio is computed by dividing adjusted noninterest expense by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and adjusted 
noninterest income. Adjusted noninterest expense excludes expenses and losses related to other real estate owned (“OREO”), which may vary 
significantly from period to period without substantially affecting operations, and other non-core, nonrecurring items. Noninterest income 
excludes securities gains and losses, which may vary significantly from period to period without substantially affecting operations; OTTI 
charges; and other non-core, nonrecurring items. Our non-GAAP efficiency ratio measure is different from the GAAP-based efficiency ratio 
calculation that uses noninterest expense and income from the consolidated statements of income.

Investment securities are reviewed quarterly for possible OTTI. The review includes an analysis of the facts and circumstances of each 
individual investment such as the length of time the fair value has been below cost, timing and amount of contractual cash flows, the 
expectation for that security’s performance, the creditworthiness of the issuer, and our intent to hold the security to recovery or maturity. If a 
decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to noninterest 
income is recognized. If a debt security is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, we determine the amount of the impairment due to 
credit, recognized in earnings, and the amount due to other factors, recognized in other comprehensive income.  

We recognized credit-related OTTI charges in earnings associated with debt securities beneficially owned of $320 thousand in 2013 and $942 
thousand in 2012. These charges were related to a non-Agency MBS. Temporary impairment on the non-Agency MBS is primarily related to 
changes in interest rates. We recognized no impairment charges on equity securities during 2013 or 2012. See Note 3, “Investment Securities,” 
to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report.

Loans held for sale as of December 31, 2013, decreased $5.79 million, or 86.77%, compared to December 31, 2012. Loans held for sale consist 
of mortgage loans sold on a best efforts basis into the secondary loan market; accordingly, we do not retain the interest rate risk involved in 
these long-term commitments. The gross notional amount of outstanding commitments related to secondary market mortgage loans as of 
December 31, 2013, was $3.68 million for 19 loans compared to $14.84 million for 88 loans as of December 31, 2012.  

Loans Held for Investment  

Loans held for investment as of December 31, 2013, decreased $13.93 million, or 0.83%, compared to December 31, 2012. The decrease was 
due to runoff in the Waccamaw loan portfolio covered under the FDIC loss share agreements. The non-covered loan portfolio increased $41.49 
million, or 2.73%, compared to December 31, 2012. The average loan to deposit ratio was 85.24% for the year ended December 31, 2013,

compared to 87.52% for the same period of 2012. Our loans held for investment are grouped into three segments (commercial loans, consumer 
real estate loans, and consumer and other loans) with each segment divided into various classes. Covered loans are defined as loans acquired in 
FDIC-assisted transactions that are covered by loss share agreements. There were no covered loans before 2012. The held for investment 
portfolio continues to be diversified among loan types and industry segments. See Note 4, “Loans,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in

We lend primarily in the five-state region in which we operate. We maintained no foreign loans and had no loan concentrations to any one 
borrower that represented 10% or more of outstanding loans as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.  

As of December 31, 2013, non-covered commercial loans comprised 54.35% of the non-covered loan portfolio. Commercial and industrial 
loans include loans to small to mid-size industrial, commercial, and service companies that include, but are not limited to, natural gas 
producers, automobile dealers, and retail and wholesale merchants. Commercial real estate projects represent a variety of sectors of the 
commercial real estate market, including single family and apartment lessors, commercial real estate lessors, and hotel/motel operators. 
Commercial loan underwriting standards require that comprehensive reviews and independent evaluations be performed on credits exceeding 
predefined size limits. Updates to these loan reviews are done periodically or on an annual basis depending on the size of the loan relationship.  

As of December 31, 2013, consumer real estate loans comprised 40.83% of the non-covered loan portfolio. Residential real estate loans include 
loans to individuals within our market footprint for home equity loans and lines of credit and for the purchase or construction of owner 
occupied homes. Underwriting guidelines require that borrowers meet certain credit, income, and collateral standards at origination.

interest payments. 

Risk Elements  

Nonperforming assets consist of loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis, accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more, unseasoned 
troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), and OREO. Loans acquired with credit deterioration with a discount continue to accrue interest based 
on expected cash flows; therefore, PCI loans are not considered nonaccrual. See Note 5, “Credit Quality,” to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements in Item 8 of this report.

Non-covered nonperforming assets totaled $27.79 million as of December 31, 2013, a $7.90 million, or 22.13%, decrease from December 31, 
2012. Non-covered nonperforming assets as a percentage of total non-covered assets were 1.14% as of December 31, 2013, compared to 1.42% 
as of December 31, 2012.  

Non-covered nonaccrual loans totaled $19.16 million as of December 31, 2013, a $4.77 million, or 19.93%, decrease from December 31, 2012. 
As of December 31, 2013, non-covered nonaccrual loans were largely attributed to the following loan classes: single family owner occupied 
(34.27%); commercial and industrial (27.92%); non-farm, non-residential (14.01%); and single family non-owner occupied (10.26%). 
Approximately $5.43 million, or 28.35%, of non-covered nonaccrual loans were attributed to performing loans acquired in business 
combinations as of December 31, 2013. Certain loans included in the nonaccrual category have been written down to estimated realizable value 
or assigned specific reserves in the allowance for loan losses based upon management’s estimate of loss at ultimate resolution.  

When restructuring loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, we generally make concessions in interest rates, loan terms, and/or 
amortization terms. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at time of restructuring and are returned to performing status after six 
months of satisfactory payment performance; however, these loans remain identified as impaired until full payment or other satisfaction of the 
obligation occurs.  

Accruing TDRs totaled $12.21 million as of December 31, 2013, compared to $12.05 million as of December 31, 2012. Nonperforming 
accruing TDRs totaled $1.31 million, or 10.74% of accruing TDRs, as of December 31, 2013, compared to $6.01 million, or 49.88% of 
accruing TDRs, as of December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses attributed to TDRs totaled $1.84 million as of December 31, 2013, 
compared to $1.87 million as of December 31, 2012.  

Ongoing activity in the classification and categories of nonperforming loans include collections on delinquencies, foreclosures, loan 
restructurings, and movements into or out of the nonperforming classification as a result of changing economic conditions, borrower financial 
capacity, or resolution efforts. There were $86 thousand covered accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more as of December 31, 
2013.  

Non-covered OREO, which is carried at the lesser of estimated net realizable value or cost, totaled $7.32 million as of December 31, 2013, an 
increase of $1.57 million, or 27.29%, compared to December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2013, non-covered OREO consisted of 52 
properties with an average holding period of 8 months. During 2013, the net loss on the sale of OREO totaled $1.52 million. Pursuant to FDIC 
loss share agreements, covered OREO is presented net of the related fair value discount. The following tables detail activity within OREO for 
the periods indicated:

Non-covered delinquent loans, comprised of loans 30 days or more past due and nonaccrual loans, totaled $30.86 million as of December 31, 
2013, a decrease of $8.14 million, or 20.86%, compared to December 31, 2012. Non-covered delinquent loans as a percentage of total non-
covered loans measured 1.98% as of December 31, 2013, which is attributed to loans 30 to 89 days past due of 0.75% and nonaccrual loans of 
1.23%. Non-covered nonperforming loans, comprised of nonaccrual loans, nonperforming TDRs, and unseasoned TDRs, as a percentage of 
total non-covered loans were 1.31% as of December 31, 2013, compared to 1.97% as of December 31, 2012.  

Allowance for Loan Losses  

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management deems sufficient to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan 
portfolio. The allowance is increased by charges to earnings in the form of provisions and recoveries of prior loan charge-offs and decreased by 
loans charged off. The provision for loan losses is calculated and charged to expense to bring the allowance to an appropriate level using a 
systematic process of measurement that requires significant judgments and estimates.  

Management performs quarterly assessments to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses 
includes specific allocations to significant individual loans and credit relationships and general reserves to the remaining loans that have been 
deemed impaired. Loans not specifically identified are grouped into pools based on similar risk characteristics. Management’s general reserve 
allocations are based on judgments of qualitative and quantitative factors about macro and micro economic conditions reflected in the loan 
portfolio and the economy. For loans acquired in business combinations, a provision is recorded for any credit deterioration after the 
acquisition. Loans identified with credit impairment at acquisition are grouped into pools and evaluated separately from the non-PCI portfolio. 
The provision calculated for PCI loans is offset by an adjustment to the FDIC indemnification asset to reflect the indemnified portion of the 
post-acquisition exposure. See “Critical Accounting Estimates” above and Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies,” and Note 6, “Allowance 
for Loan Losses,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report.  

Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-covered loans declined in 2013, which was consistent with improvements in our credit 
quality indicators. As a result of elevated levels of charge-offs and broader economic conditions, we deemed it appropriate to maintain a 
conservative, although declining, level of qualitative factors that adjust the historical loss rates upward in the allowance model. Our qualitative 
risk factors reflected the elevated risk of loan losses due to higher than normal unemployment, the effects of the recent recession, and 
devaluations of various categories of collateral. Some stress remains in commercial and residential real estate markets resulting in decreases in 
real estate values that adversely affect property used as collateral. As of December 31, 2013, management considered the allowance to be 
adequate based upon analysis of the portfolio; however, no assurance can be made that additions to the allowance will not be required in future 
periods. We incurred net charge-offs of $10.35 million in 2013, $6.11 million in 2012, and $9.32 million in 2011.

Our allowance for loan losses totaled $24.07 million as of December 31, 2013, a $1.69 million decrease compared with $25.77 million as of 
December 31, 2012. Excluding PCI loans, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-covered loans held for investment was 1.50% as 
of December 31, 2013, compared to 1.70% as of December 31, 2012. The cash flow analysis performed for the year ended December 31, 2013, 
identified four of our seven PCI loan pools as impaired with a cumulative impairment of $747 thousand. The portfolio continues to be 
monitored for deterioration in credit, which may result in the need to increase the allowance for loan losses in future periods. As a result of 
improving credit metrics, management deemed the reduced allowance adequate and directionally consistent.

Deposits  

Total deposits as of December 31, 2013, decreased $79.43 million, or 3.91%, compared to December 31, 2012. Noninterest-bearing deposits 
decreased $3.67 million and time deposits decreased $108.00 million as of December 31, 2013, compared to December 31, 2012. Interest-
bearing deposits increased $8.50 million and savings deposits, which include money market accounts and savings accounts, increased $23.73 
million as of December 31, 2013, compared to December 31, 2012.  

Borrowings  

Total borrowings as of December 31, 2013, decreased $13.16 million, or 4.20%, compared to December 31, 2012. We prepaid $8.15 million of 
wholesale repurchase agreements and $11.47 million of FHLB borrowings in 2013 that resulted in gains of $296 thousand. Short-term 
borrowings consist of federal funds purchased and retail repurchase agreements. Federal funds purchased as of December 31, 2013, totaled 
$16.00 million compared to no funds purchased as of December 31, 2012. The balance of retail repurchase agreements decreased $17.81 
million, or 13.08%, as of December 31, 2013, compared to December 31, 2012. Securities underlying retail repurchase agreements remain 
under our control during the terms of the agreements. The following table presents balance information and the weighted average rates paid on 
retail repurchase agreements as of the periods indicated:

Long-term borrowings consist of wholesale repurchase agreements; FHLB borrowings, including convertible and callable advances; and other 
obligations. The balance of wholesale repurchase agreements decreased $8.20 million, or 14.08%, and the weighted average rate increased 37 
basis points to 3.71% as of December 31, 2013, compared to December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2013, wholesale repurchase agreements 
had contractual maturities between two and six years. The balance of FHLB borrowings decreased $11.56 million, or 7.15%, and the weighted 
average rate increased 26 basis points to 4.12% as of December 31, 2013, compared to December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2013, FHLB 
borrowings had contractual maturities between three and eight years.  

Included in other indebtedness is $15.46 million of junior subordinated debentures (“Debentures”) that were issued by the Company in October 
2003 through FCBI Capital Trust, an unconsolidated trust subsidiary, with an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.95%. The Debentures 
mature in October 2033 and are currently callable at the option of the Company.  

Stockholders’ Equity  

Total stockholders’ equity decreased $27.72 million, or 7.78%, from $356.32 million as of December 31, 2012, to $328.61 million as of 
December 31, 2013. In 2013 we repurchased 1,739,601 shares of our common stock for approximately $28.42 million. The change in 
stockholders’ equity was also impacted by net income of $23.31 million, dividends declared on our common and Series A Noncumulative 
Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) of $10.50 million, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income 
(“AOCI”) of $12.92 million. AOCI was driven by unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

Liquidity  

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to raise sufficient cash, or convert assets to cash, to meet our financial obligations. We maintain a liquidity 
risk management policy and contingency funding policy (the “Liquidity Plan”) that is designed to detect potential liquidity issues in order to 
protect depositors, creditors, and shareholders. The Liquidity Plan includes various internal and external indicators that are reviewed on a 
recurring basis by our Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) and the Board of Directors. ALCO is responsible for reviewing 
liquidity risk exposure and policies related to liquidity management and ensuring that systems and internal controls are consistent with liquidity 
policies and provide accurate reports regarding liquidity needs, sources, and compliance.  

The Liquidity Plan involves ongoing monitoring and estimation of potentially credit sensitive liabilities and the sources and amounts of balance 
sheet and external liquidity available to replace outflows during a funding crisis. Several scenarios are analyzed based on varying assumptions 
regarding the funding crisis’ severity and duration, such as decreases in earnings, asset quality deterioration, adverse market conditions, and 
reductions in borrowing capacity and availability. A specific action plan is formulated and activated when a financial shock that affects our 
normal funding activities is identified. Generally, the plan will reflect a strategy of replacing liability outflows with alternative liabilities, rather 
than balance sheet asset liquidity, to the extent that significant premiums can be avoided. If alternative liabilities are not available, outflows will 
be met through liquidation of balance sheet assets, including unpledged securities.  

Cash on hand and deposits with other financial institutions are immediately available to satisfy deposit withdrawals, customer credit needs, and 
our operations. As of December 31, 2013, unencumbered cash on hand and deposits with other financial institutions were $56.57 million. Lines 
of credit extended from correspondent banks and the FHLB are immediate funding sources that we may draw upon. As of December 31, 2013, 
availability on federal funds lines with correspondent banks was $105.00 million and credit available from the FRB’s discount window was 
$9.09 million. As of December 31, 2013, unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB was $324.34 million; further, an additional $34.74 million 
was available under the FHLB credit facility subject to the optional delivery of additional collateral. Available-for-sale securities represent a 
secondary source of liquidity upon conversion to a liquid asset. As of December 31, 2013, unpledged available-for-sale securities were $235.05 
million.  

As a holding company, the Company does not conduct significant operations. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are dividends 
received from the Bank and borrowings. Dividends paid by the Bank are subject to certain regulatory limitations. As of December 31, 2013, the 
Company’s liquid assets consisted of cash and investment securities totaling $24.21 million. The Company’s cash reserves and investments 
provide adequate working capital to meet obligations and projected dividends to shareholders for the next twelve months. The Company 
maintains a $15.00 million unsecured, committed line of credit with an unrelated financial institution. As of December 31, 2013, there was no 
outstanding balance on the line. There are no known trends, demands, commitments, or events that are likely, or reasonably likely, to result in 
any material changes to liquidity. We believe that our liquidity position continues to be adequate and readily available.

2013 Compared to 2012 . Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $12.12 million, or 21.40%, in 2013, which was primarily due to a 
decrease in net income of $5.27 million. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1.17 million compared to net cash provided of $252.47 
million in 2012, which was largely the result of no acquisition activity in 2013, coupled with a $70.88 million decrease in proceeds from 
securities and an $86.75 million increase in net loan originations. Net cash used in financing activities decreased $79.93 million in 2013, which 
was primarily due to a decline in the annual decrease of interest-bearing deposits. The net effect of cash flow activity was an $88.28 million 
decrease in cash and cash equivalents in 2013.  

2012 Compared to 2011 . Net cash provided by operating activities increased $2.63 million, or 4.87%, in 2012, which was primarily due to an 
increase in net income of $8.55 million. Net cash provided by investing activities increased $266.66 million in 2012, which was largely the 
result of net cash acquired in acquisitions of $152.28 million and net loan collections of $75.09 million. Net cash used in financing activities 
increased $106.85 million in 2012, which was primarily due to an $84.99 million decrease in deposits. The net effect of cash flow activity was 
a $162.45 million increase in cash and cash equivalents in 2012.

Guidelines issued by state and federal banking agencies require a minimum risk-based capital ratio of 8%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6%, 
and Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3%. As of December 31, 2013, our Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios decreased compared 
to December 31, 2012, primarily due to stock repurchase activity. As of December 31, 2013, our Tier 1 leverage ratio decreased compared to 
December 31, 2012, primarily due to the decrease in Tier 1 capital resulting from the repurchase of treasury stock and increase in net 
unrealized losses on investment securities. Our regulatory capital ratios declined between the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 
primarily as a result of growth in risk-weighted assets, average assets, and

minimum standards and continue to be classified as well capitalized under regulatory capital adequacy standards. See Note 21, “Regulatory 
Capital Requirements and Restrictions,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report.  

Contractual Obligations  

We maintain certain contractual cash obligations that require future cash payments. Management believes we have adequate resources to fund 
our outstanding commitments and, in a changing interest rate environment, the ability to adjust rates on certificates of deposit; attract new 
deposits; and replace deposits with FHLB advances or other fund providers, if cost effective. The following table presents our contractual cash 
obligations, detailed by payment date, as of December 31, 2013:

(1)  Excludes interest 
(2) 

Includes interest on fixed and variable rate obligations. The interest associated with variable rate obligations is based upon interest rates 
in effect at December 31, 2013. The interest to be paid on variable rate obligations is affected by changes in market interest rates, which 
materially affect the contractual obligation amounts to be paid. 

(3)  Excludes carrying value adjustments such as unamortized premiums or discounts.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices  

Our consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of results of 
operations and financial position in terms of historical dollars. Inflation may cause a rise in price levels and changes in the relative purchasing 
power of money. These inflationary effects are not reflected in historical dollar measurements. The primary effect of inflation on our operations 
is increased operating costs. In management’s opinion, interest rates have a greater impact on our financial performance than inflation. Interest 
rates do not necessarily fluctuate in the same direction, or to the same extent, as the price of goods and services; therefore, the effect of inflation 
on financial institutions is generally not as significant as the effect on businesses with large investments in property, plant, and inventory. The 
U.S. inflation rate continues to be relatively stable, and management believes that any changes in inflation will not be material to our financial

ITEM 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. 

Our profitability is dependent to a large extent upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning 
assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Our Company, like 
other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-earning assets reprice differently than interest-bearing 
liabilities. We manage our mix of assets and liabilities with the goal of limiting exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and 
coordinating sources and uses of funds while maintaining an acceptable level of net interest income given the current interest rate environment.  

Our primary component of operational revenue, net interest income, is subject to variation as a result of changes in interest rate environments in 
conjunction with unbalanced repricing opportunities on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate risk has four primary 
components: repricing risk, basis risk, yield curve risk and option risk. Repricing risk occurs when earning assets and paying liabilities reprice 
at differing times as interest rates change. Basis risk occurs when the underlying rates on the assets and liabilities the institution holds change at 
different levels or in varying degrees. Yield curve risk is the risk of adverse consequences as a result of unequal changes in the spread between 
two or more rates for different maturities for the same instrument. Lastly, option risk is due to embedded options, often put or call options, 
given or sold to holders of financial instruments.  

To mitigate the effect of changes in the general level of interest rates, we manage repricing opportunities and thus, our interest rate sensitivity. 
We seek to control our interest rate risk exposure to insulate net interest income and net earnings from fluctuations in the general level of 
interest rates. To measure our exposure to interest rate risk, quarterly simulations of net interest income are performed using financial models 
that project net interest income through a range of possible interest rate environments: rising, declining, most likely, and flat rate scenarios. We 
use a simulation model that captures all earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, and off-balance sheet financial instruments and combines the 
various factors affecting rate sensitivity into an earnings outlook for a range of assumed interest rate scenarios. The results of these simulations 
indicate the existence and severity of interest rate risk in each of those rate environments based upon the current balance sheet position, 
assumptions as to changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-paying liabilities and our estimate of yields to be 
attained in those future rate environments and rates paid on various deposit instruments and borrowings. These assumptions are inherently 
uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results 
will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and 
our strategies. However, the earnings simulation model is currently the best tool available to us and the industry for managing interest rate risk.  

We have established policy limits for tolerance of interest rate risk in various interest rate scenarios. In addition, the policy addresses exposure 
limits to changes in the economic value of equity according to predefined policy guidelines. The most recent simulation indicates that current 
exposure to interest rate risk is within our defined policy limits.

The following table summarizes the impact of immediate and sustained rate shocks in the interest rate environment on net interest income. The 
model simulates plus 300 to minus 100 basis point changes from the base case rate simulation and illustrates the prospective effects of 
hypothetical interest rate changes over a twelve-month time period. This modeling technique, although useful, does not take into account all 
strategies that management might undertake in response to a sudden and sustained rate shock as depicted. Also, as market conditions vary from 
those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to prepayment and refinancing levels likely deviating from those 
assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of changing debt service levels 
on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes, and other internal and external variables. 
As of December 31, 2013, the Federal Open Market Committee maintained a target range for federal funds of 0 to 25 basis points, rendering a 
complete downward shock of 200 basis points meaningless; accordingly, downward rate scenarios are limited to minus 100 basis points. In the 
downward rate shocks presented, benchmark interest rates are assumed at levels with floors near 0%.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

Note 1. 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Nature of Operations  

Unless the context suggests otherwise, the use of the term “Company” refers to First Community Bancshares, Inc. (“the Company”) and its 
subsidiaries as a consolidated entity. The Company is a financial holding company headquartered in Bluefield, Virginia that provides banking 
products and services to individuals and commercial customers through its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Community Bank (the “Bank”), a 
Virginia-chartered banking institution, from 71 locations. The Bank operates under the trade names First Community Bank in Virginia, West 
Virginia, and North Carolina and Peoples Community Bank, a Division of First Community Bank, in South Carolina and Tennessee. The 
Company offers personal and commercial insurance products and services from 9 locations through its wholly-owned subsidiary Greenpoint 
Insurance Group, Inc. (“Greenpoint”), which is headquartered in High Point, North Carolina. Greenpoint operates under the Greenpoint name 
and under the trade names First Community Insurance Services (“FCIS”) and Carolina Insurers Associates in North Carolina, Carr &Hyde 
Insurance and FCIS in Virginia, and FCIS in West Virginia. The Bank offers wealth management services and investment advice through its 
Trust Division and wholly-owned subsidiary First Community Wealth Management (“FCWM”), a registered investment advisory firm. The 
Trust Division and FCWM managed $706 million in combined assets as of December 31, 2013. These assets are not assets of the Company, 
but are managed under various fee-based arrangements as fiduciary or agent. The Company reported consolidated assets of $2.60 billion as of 
December 31, 2013.  

The Company operates in one business segment, Community Banking, which consists of all operations, including commercial and consumer 
banking, lending activities, wealth management, and insurance services.  

Principles of Consolidation  

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and 
to predominant practices in the banking industry. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned 
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Assets held in an agency or 
fiduciary capacity are not assets of the Company and are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.  

The Company has investments in certain entities that are considered variable interest entities (“VIEs”) under GAAP. These VIEs include the 
Company’s trust subsidiary, FCBI Capital Trust (the “Trust”), certain tax credit limited partnerships, and limited liability companies that 
provide aviation services, insurance brokerage, title insurance, and other related financial services. VIEs are legal entities in which the equity 
investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to independently finance its activities or the collective holders do not have the 
power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, the 
obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE is 
considered appropriate if a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary, the party that has both significant influence and control over the VIE. 
Management periodically performs a qualitative analysis to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. This analysis 
includes review of the VIEs’ capital structures, contractual terms, and primary activities, including the Company’s ability to direct the activities 
of the VIEs and obligations to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, significant to the VIEs. Based on the Company’s analysis for the 
periods presented in this report, it is not the primary beneficiary of its VIEs. Accordingly, these entities do not meet the criteria for 
consolidation and, therefore, are reported in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value and maximum 
potential loss exposure of VIEs totaled $2.89 million as of December 31, 2013, and $3.04 million as of December 31, 2012.

Use of Estimates  

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.  
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)  

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that 
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during 
the reporting period. The Company has identified the items that require the most subjective assumptions or complex judgments: investment 
securities, the allowance for loan losses, the provision for income taxes, and business combination, including intangible assets.  

Reclassification  

Certain amounts reported in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no 
effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents  

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, time deposits with other banks, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing balances 
on deposit with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) that are available for immediate withdrawal.  

Investment Securities  

Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase. Debt securities that management has the intent and 
ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and carried at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity, 
including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as available-for-sale securities and carried at estimated fair 
value. Securities classified as available for sale consist of securities management intends to hold for indefinite periods of time, including 
securities to be used as part of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy and securities that may be sold in response to changes in 
interest rates, prepayment risk, or other similar factors. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation in fair value above or below amortized cost is 
included in stockholders’ equity, net of income taxes, under the category of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). Gains or 
losses on the call, maturity, or sale of investment securities are recorded based on the specific identification method. Purchase premiums and 
discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of a security into interest income.  

The Company performs an extensive quarterly review to determine if impairment exists in the investment portfolio. If a security is deemed 
impaired, management evaluates the causes of unrealized losses to determine whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary in 
nature. If a security is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to 
noninterest income is recognized. If the other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is related to a debt security, the Company determines the 
amount of the impairment related to the credit loss, which is recognized in noninterest income, and the amount related to all other factors, 
which is recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”).  

Loans Held for Sale  

Loans originated with the intent to sell in the secondary market are classified as held for sale. Loans held for sale consist primarily of one to 
four family residential loans and are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value as determined on an aggregate basis. These long-term, 
fixed rate loans are sold to investors on a best efforts basis; consequently, the Company does not absorb the interest rate risk involved in these 
loans. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined by quoted market prices for loans with similar coupon rates and terms.  

72  

   
   
Table of Contents  

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.  
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)  

The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) with customers on mortgage loans intended to be sold in the secondary 
market and commitments to sell mortgages. These IRLCs and forward sale loan commitments are recorded at fair value in other assets and 
liabilities with any changes in fair value recognized in other income. These derivative instruments do not qualify as hedges. The fair value of 
IRLC derivatives is determined by quoted market prices for loans with similar coupon rates and terms. The fair value of forward sale loan 
commitments is based on changes in the value of the commitment, principally because of changes in interest rates.  

Loans Held for Investment  

Loans originated with the intent to hold for an indefinite period of time, until maturity, or until pay-off are classified as held for investment. 
Loans held for investment are carried at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income, less any write-downs necessary to reduce 
individual loans to net realizable value. Loan origination fees, including loan commitment and underwriting fees, are reduced by direct costs 
associated with loan processing, including salaries, legal review, and appraisal fees. Net deferred loan fees are deferred and amortized over the 
life of the related loan or commitment period.  

The Company maintains an active and robust problem credit identification system through its ongoing credit review function. When a credit is 
identified as exhibiting characteristics of weakening, the Company assesses the credit for potential impairment. Loans are considered impaired 
when, in the opinion of management and based on current information and events, the collection of principal and interest payments due under 
the contractual terms of the loan agreements are doubtful. The impairment allowances allocated to individual loans, including individual credit 
relationships, and loan pools, grouped by similar risk characteristics, are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis. Factors considered in 
determining impairment include, but are not limited to, the borrower’s cash flow and capacity for debt repayment, the valuation of collateral, 
historical loss percentages, and economic conditions.  

The Company’s Special Assets staff reviews loans $250 thousand and greater on a quarterly basis. Accrual of interest on loans is generally 
based on the daily amount of principal outstanding. Loans are considered past due when either principal or interest payments become 
contractually delinquent by 30 or more days. Consumer loans are generally charged off against the allowance for loan losses when the loans 
become 120 days past due (180 days if secured by residential real estate and 90 days if unsecured). All other loans are charged off against the 
allowance for loan losses after collection attempts have been exhausted, which generally is within 120 days. It is the Company’s policy to 
discontinue the accrual of interest, if warranted, on loans based on the payment status, evaluation of the related collateral, and the financial 
strength of the borrower. The accrual of interest income is normally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due. Management may 
elect to continue the accrual of interest when the loan is well secured and in process of collection. When interest accruals are discontinued, 
interest accrued and not collected in the current year is reversed from income, and interest accrued and not collected from prior years is charged 
to the allowance for loan losses. Interest income realized on impaired loans is recognized upon receipt if the impaired loan is on a nonaccrual 
basis. Nonaccrual loans may be returned to accrual status if the loan is brought current and follows a period of sustained performance, 
including six months of regular principal and interest payments. Accrual of interest on impaired loans is generally continued unless the loan 
becomes delinquent 90 days or more. Recoveries of loans previously charged off are credited to the allowance for loan losses in the period 
received.  

Loans are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) when the Company grants concessions, for legal or economic reasons, to 
borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that would not otherwise be considered. The Company generally makes concessions in interest 
rates, loan terms, and/or amortization terms. All TDRs $250 thousand or greater are evaluated for a specific reserve based on either the 
collateral or net present value method,  

73  

   
   
Table of Contents  

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.  
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)  

whichever is most applicable. TDRs under $250 thousand are subject to the reserve calculation for classified loans based primarily on the 
historical loss rate. At the date of modification, nonaccrual loans are classified as nonaccrual TDRs. TDRs classified as nonperforming at the 
date of modification are returned to performing status after six months of satisfactory payment performance; however, these loans remain 
identified as impaired until full payment or other satisfaction of the obligation occurs.  

Allowance for Loan Losses  

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management deems sufficient to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan 
portfolio. The allowance is increased by charges to earnings in the form of provisions and recoveries of prior loan charge-offs and decreased by 
loans charged off. The provision is calculated and charged to earnings to bring the allowance to a level that, according to a systematic process 
of measurement, reflects the amount management estimates is needed to absorb probable losses in the portfolio. While management utilizes its 
best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond the Company’s 
control: the performance of the Company’s loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates, the view of regulatory authorities towards 
loan classifications, and other factors. While management has allocated the allowance for loan losses to specific loans and general portfolio 
segments, the entire allowance is available for use against any type of loan loss deemed appropriate by management.  

Management performs quarterly assessments to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses. The Company’s allowance is 
segmented into commercial, consumer real estate, and consumer and other loans with each segment divided into classes with similar 
characteristics, such as the type of loan and collateral. The allowance for loan losses includes specific allocations to significant individual loans 
and credit relationships and general reserves to the remaining loans that have been deemed impaired. Loans not specifically identified are 
grouped into pools based on similar risk characteristics. A loan that becomes adversely classified or graded is moved into a group of adversely 
classified or graded loans with similar risk characteristics for evaluation. Management’s general reserve allocations are based on judgments of 
qualitative and quantitative factors about macro and micro economic conditions reflected in the loan portfolio and the economy.  

No allowance for loan losses is carried over or established at acquisition for purchased loans acquired in business combinations. A provision 
for loan losses is recorded for any credit deterioration in purchased performing loans after the acquisition date. Purchased credit impaired 
(“PCI”) loans are grouped into pools and evaluated separately from the non-PCI portfolio. The Company estimates cash flows to be collected 
on PCI loans and discounts those cash flows at a market rate of interest. If cash flows for PCI loans are expected to decline, generally a 
provision for loan losses is charged to earnings, resulting in an increase to the allowance for loan losses. If cash flows for PCI loans are 
expected to improve, any previously established allowance is first reversed to the extent of prior charges and then interest income is increased 
using prospective yield adjustment over the remaining life of the loan, or pool of loans. Any provision established for PCI loans covered under 
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) loss share agreements is offset by an adjustment to the FDIC indemnification asset to 
reflect the indemnified portion of the post-acquisition exposure.  

Other Real Estate Owned  

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) and acquired through foreclosure, or other settlement, is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less 
estimated selling costs. The fair value is generally based on current third-party appraisals. When a property is transferred into OREO, any 
excess of the loan balance over the net realizable fair value is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Operating expenses, gains, and 
losses on the sale of OREO are included in other noninterest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income after any fair value 
write-downs are recorded as valuation adjustments.

Business Combinations  

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.  
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)  

The Company may engage in business combinations with other companies. These transactions are accounted for using Topic 805 of the 
Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which requires the use of the acquisition 
method of accounting. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, all identifiable assets acquired, including purchased loans, and 
liabilities are recorded at fair value. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. In 
instances where the price of the acquired business is less than the net assets acquired, a gain on the purchase is recorded.  

Management makes significant estimates and judgments in accounting for business combinations. Fair values are assigned based on quoted 
prices for similar assets, if readily available, or appraisals by qualified independent parties for relevant asset and liability categories. 
Management must also make estimates for the useful or economic lives of certain acquired assets and liabilities. These lives are used in 
establishing the amortization and accretion of some intangible assets and liabilities, such as core deposits obtained in the acquisition of 
commercial banks. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information 
regarding the closing date fair values becomes available. The results of operations of an acquired entity are included in the Company’s 
consolidated results of operations from the closing date of the merger.  

Purchased loans are recorded using the fair value methodology outlined in Topic 820 of the FASB ASC, exclusive of loss share agreements 
with the FDIC. The fair value estimates associated with loans include expected prepayments and the amount and timing of expected principal, 
interest, and other cash flows. No allowance for loan losses is recorded at acquisition for purchased loans because the fair values of the 
acquired loans incorporate assumptions regarding credit risk.  

When purchased loans exhibit evidence of credit deterioration after the acquisition date, and it is probable at acquisition the Company will not 
collect all contractually required principal and interest payments, the loans are referred to as PCI loans. PCI loans are accounted for using Topic 
310-30 of the FASB ASC, formerly the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 03-3, “Accounting for 
Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer.” PCI loans are initially measured at fair value, which includes estimated future credit 
losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loans. In accordance with the guidance, the Company aggregates PCI loans that have 
common risk characteristics into loan pools. The Company has established the following loan pools related to the acquisitions of Peoples Bank 
of Virginia (“Peoples”) and Waccamaw Bank (“Waccamaw”) for evaluation: Waccamaw commercial, Waccamaw lines of credit, Peoples 
commercial, Waccamaw serviced home equity lines, Waccamaw residential, Peoples residential, and Waccamaw consumer. Evidence of credit 
quality deterioration at acquisition may include measures such as nonaccrual status, credit scores, declines in collateral value, current loan to 
value percentages, and days past due. The Company considers expected prepayments and estimates the amount and timing of expected 
principal, interest, and other cash flows for each loan or pool of loans identified as credit impaired. If the contractually required payments at 
acquisition exceed the cash flows expected to be collected, the excess is the non-accretable difference, which is available to absorb credit losses 
on those loans or pools of loans. If the cash flows expected at acquisition exceed the estimated fair values, the excess is the accretable yield, 
which is recognized in interest income over the remaining lives of those loans or pools of loans when there is a reasonable expectation about 
the amount and timing of such cash flows.  

Purchased performing loans are accounting for using the contractual cash flow method of accounting, which results in these loans being 
recorded at fair value with a credit discount. The fair value discount is accreted as an adjustment to yield over the estimated contractual lives of 
the loans. Additional information regarding the  

75  

   
   
Table of Contents  

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.  
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)  

accounting and valuation of the allowance for loan losses related to purchased loans, intangible assets, and receivables resulting from FDIC-
assisted transactions is found in this note of the consolidated financial statements.  

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Indemnification Asset  

The FDIC indemnification asset represents the carrying amount of the right to receive payments from the FDIC for losses incurred on specified 
assets purchased from the FDIC that are covered by loss share agreements. The FDIC indemnification asset is measured separately from related 
covered assets because it is not contractually embedded in the assets or transferable should the assets be disposed. In accordance with the 
acquisition method of accounting, the FDIC indemnification asset was recorded at fair value using projected cash flows based on expected 
reimbursements and applicable loss share percentages as outlined in the loss share agreements with the FDIC. The expected reimbursements 
did not include reimbursable amounts related to future covered expenditures. The cash flows were discounted to reflect the timing and receipt 
of reimbursements from the FDIC. The discount is accreted through noninterest income over future periods. The Company regularly reviews 
the fair value of the FDIC indemnification asset with input from a third-party provider. Post-acquisition adjustments to the indemnification 
asset are measured on the same basis as the underlying covered assets. Increases in the cash flows of covered loans reduce the FDIC 
indemnification asset balance, which is recognized as amortization through noninterest income over the shorter of the remaining life of the 
FDIC indemnification asset or the underlying loans. Decreases in the cash flows of covered loans increase the FDIC indemnification asset 
balance, which is recognized as accretion through noninterest income. The realization of the FDIC indemnification asset ultimately depends on 
the performance of the underlying covered assets, the passage of time, and claims paid by the FDIC; therefore, the amount the Company 
realizes could differ materially from the carrying value.  

Premises and Equipment  

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed by the 
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Useful lives range from 5 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, and 
equipment; 3 to 5 years for software, hardware, and data handling equipment; and 10 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements. 
Land improvements are amortized over a period of 20 years and leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the 
respective leases plus the first optional renewal period, when renewal is reasonably assured, or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. 
The Company leases various properties within its branch network. Leases generally have initial terms of up to 20 years and most contain 
options to renew with reasonable increases in rent. All leases are accounted for as operating leases. Maintenance and repairs are charged to 
current operations while improvements that extend the economic useful life of the underlying asset are capitalized. Disposition gains and losses 
are reflected in current operations.  

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets  

Intangible assets consist of goodwill, core deposit intangible assets, and other identifiable intangible assets that result from business 
combinations. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, and it is allocated to the 
appropriate reporting unit when acquired. The Company maintains two reporting units, Community Banking and Insurance Services. Goodwill 
is not amortized, but is tested annually in the fourth quarter using a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair 
value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of either 
reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. Step 1 consists of calculating 
and comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is greater 
than its book value, no  

76  

   
   
Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)  

goodwill impairment exists. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is greater than its calculated fair value, goodwill impairment may exist 
and Step 2 is required to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill as of 
October 31, 2013, and determined that qualitatively that it was more likely than not that goodwill was not impaired; therefore, the Step 1 and 
Step 2 tests were not deemed necessary. Qualitative factors considered in the analysis included macroeconomic conditions, industry and market 
considerations, overall financial performance, changes in stock price, and the Company’s progress towards stated objectives as compared to 
prior years. An impairment charge to goodwill and other intangible assets may be required in the future if the Company’s future earnings and 
cash flows decline or discount rates used in determining fair value increase. No events have occurred after the 2013 analysis to indicate 
additional impairment.  

Core deposit intangible assets represent the future earnings potential of acquired deposit relationships and are amortized over their estimated 
remaining useful lives. Other identifiable intangible assets primarily represent the rights arising from contractual arrangements and are 
amortized using the straight-line method.  

Other Investments  

As a condition of membership in the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”), the Company is required to subscribe to a minimum level 
of stock in the FHLB of Atlanta (“FHLBA”) and FRB of Richmond. These securities are reported in other assets in the Company’s 
consolidated balance sheets. There is no market for these securities and ownership is restricted; therefore, readily determinable fair values are 
not available. The Company carries these nonmarketable securities at cost and reviews the FHLB of Atlanta stock quarterly for impairment. 
The Company believes the FHLB of Atlanta ownership position provides access to relatively inexpensive wholesale and overnight funding. 
During 2013 and 2012 the FHLBA repurchased excess activity-based stock and paid quarterly cash dividends. Based on publicly available 
information as of December 31, 2013, the Company believed that its FHLBA stock was not impaired. The investment in FHLBA stock was 
$10.72 million as of December 31, 2013, and $11.30 million as of December 31, 2012. The investment in FRB of Richmond stock was $5.58 
million as of December 31, 2013, and $5.57 million as of December 31, 2012.  

The Company maintains long-term investments in various entities, including the Trust, certain tax credit limited partnerships, and other limited 
liability companies that provide aviation services, insurance brokerage, title insurance, and other related financial services. These entities are 
reported in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Investments in entities that the Company has no significant influence or 
control over, generally ownership interests of less than 20%, are recorded using the cost method of accounting. In accordance with the cost 
method, these investments do not have readily determinable fair values and dividends received are generally recorded as income. Investments 
in entities that the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over but not control, generally ownership interests ranging from 
20% to 50%, are recorded using the equity method of accounting. In accordance with the equity method, dividends received generally reduce 
the carrying amount of the investment, and the investment is adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of the entity’s earnings, losses, and 
changes in capital, if any. Management believes any future adjustments to equity investments will be immaterial. All long-term investments are 
reviewed periodically for possible impairment. The carrying value and maximum potential loss of equity investments totaled $786 thousand as 
of December 31, 2013, and $782 thousand as of December 31, 2012.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase  

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally accounted for as collateralized financing transactions. Securities, generally U.S. 
government and federal agency securities, pledged as collateral under these arrangements can be sold or repledged only if replaced by the 
secured party. The fair value of the collateral provided to a third party is continually monitored and additional collateral is provided as 
appropriate.  

Advertising Expenses  

Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred. The Company may establish accruals for anticipated advertising expenses in the course of 
a fiscal year.  

Equity-Based Compensation  

The cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock awards, is generally 
measured at fair value on the grant date. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of 
the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used as the fair value of restricted stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the 
required service period, generally defined as the vesting period for stock option awards and as the restriction period for restricted stock awards. 
For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.  

Income Taxes  

Income tax expense is comprised of the current and deferred tax consequences of events and transactions already recognized. The Company 
includes interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities in income tax expense. The effective tax rate, income tax expense as a percentage 
of pre-tax income, may vary significantly from statutory rates due to tax credits and permanent differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities 
are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their 
carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted 
through the provision for income taxes.  

The Company and its subsidiaries’ tax filings for the years ended December 31, 2009 through 2012 are currently open to audit under statutes of 
limitation by the Internal Revenue Service and various state tax departments.  

Earnings per Common Share  

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of 
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of potential common stock that 
could be issued by the Company. In accordance with the treasury stock method of accounting, potential common stock could be issued for 
stock options, nonvested restricted stock awards, performance based stock awards, and convertible preferred stock. Diluted earnings per 
common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus the 
number of dilutive potential common shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share excludes potential common shares that 
have an exercise price greater than the average market value of the Company’s common stock because the effect would be antidilutive.

The Company’s Series A Noncumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) carries a 6% dividend rate. Each share of 
the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 69 shares of the Company’s common stock at any time and mandatorily converts after five 
years. The Company may redeem the shares at face value after May 20, 2014. The number of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding was 15,251 
as of December 31, 2013, 17,421 as of December 31, 2012, and 18,921 shares as of December 31, 2011.  

Derivative Instruments  

A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from an underlying instrument or index, such as interest rates, equity security prices, 
currencies, commodity prices, or credit spreads. Derivatives include futures, forwards, swaps, option contracts, and other financial instruments 
with similar characteristics. Derivative contracts often involve future commitments to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based 
on a notional or contractual amount (e.g., interest rate swaps or currency forwards) or to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specified 
terms on a specified date (e.g., options to buy or sell securities or currencies). The Company enters into derivative transactions principally to 
protect against the risk of adverse price or interest rate movements on the value of certain assets and liabilities and on future cash flows. All 
derivative instruments are reported at fair value in the balance sheets.  

If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be designated as a hedge related to fair value, cash flow, or foreign exposure risk. Changes in the 
fair value of a derivative instrument vary depending on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. The Company accounts 
for fair value hedges using the regression analysis method. The hedged item is regressed with the hedging instrument and if the coefficient of 
determination is at least 0.80 the hedge will be deemed effective. The change in fair value of the hedging derivative and the change in fair value 
of the hedged exposure are recorded in earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness is also reflected in current earnings. Changes in the fair value of 
derivatives not designated as

hedging instruments are recognized as a gain or loss in earnings. The Company formally documents any relationships between hedging 
instruments and hedged items and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedged transaction. As of December 31, 
2013, the Company had one interest rate swap that qualified as a fair value hedging instrument. The Company’s other derivative instruments 
include various IRLCs and forward sale loan commitments that do not qualify as hedging instruments.  

Fair Value Measurements  

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market 
participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the 
asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal, or 
most advantageous, market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly 
transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that 
are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and 
sellers in the principal market that are independent, knowledgeable, able to transact, and willing to transact.  

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:  

Level 1 Inputs – 

Level 2 Inputs – 

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to 
access at the measurement date. 

Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or 
indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical 
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the 
asset or liability and provide a reasonable basis for fair value determination, such as interest rates, yield curves, 
volatilities, prepayment speeds, default rates, and credit risks, or inputs that are principally derived from observable 
market data. 

Level 3 Inputs – 

Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities when there is little or no market activity at the 
measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based on the best information at the time, to the extent that 
inputs are available without undue cost and effort. These inputs and assumptions may include model-derived inputs that 
are not corroborated by observable market data and an entity’s own assumptions. 

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

Accounting Standards Updates  

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated 
Other Comprehensive Income,” which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other 
comprehensive income. An entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, 
significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the 
amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts not 
required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required 
under GAAP that provide additional detail about these amounts. This update is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning 
on or after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted the guidance in 2013 and has included the related disclosures in Note 17, “Accumulated 
Other Comprehensive Income,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.  

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-06, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset 
Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution (a consensus of the FASB 
Emerging Issues Task Force),” to address the diversity in practice about how to subsequently measure an indemnification asset recognized as a 
result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution. The amendments in ASU 2012-06 require a reporting entity to 
subsequently account for a change in the measurement of the indemnification asset on the same basis as the change in the assets subject to 
indemnification. ASU 2012-06 further requires that any amortization of changes in value be limited to the lesser of the term of the 
indemnification agreement and the remaining life of the indemnified assets. The amendments in ASU 2012-06 are effective prospectively for 
fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2012, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the guidance in 2013 and has 
recognized negative accretion related to the indemnification asset.  

Note 2.  Acquisitions and Divestitures 

Peoples Bank of Virginia  

On May 31, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Peoples, based in Richmond, Virginia. Peoples, a full service community bank, 
operated 4 branches throughout the Richmond area. At acquisition, Peoples had total assets of $275.76 million, loans of $184.84 million, and 
deposits of $232.75 million. The purchase price was $40.28 million, including common stock valued at $26.47 million and cash consideration 
of $12.26 million. The Company issued 2,157,005 shares of common stock with an estimated fair value of $12.27 per share. Each outstanding 
share of Peoples was exchanged for $6.08 in cash and 1.07 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company recorded goodwill of 
$10.32 million from the acquisition.  

Waccamaw Bank  

On June 8, 2012, the Company entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with loss share arrangements with the FDIC to purchase 
certain assets and assume substantially all of the deposits and certain liabilities of Waccamaw, headquartered in Whiteville, North Carolina. 
Waccamaw, a full service community bank, operated 16 branches throughout North Carolina and South Carolina. At acquisition, Waccamaw 
had total assets of $500.64 million, loans of $318.35 million, and deposits of $414.13 million. Under the loss share agreements, the FDIC 
covers 80% of most loan and foreclosed real estate losses. The Company recorded an indemnification asset of $49.76 million at acquisition 
representing the present value of estimated losses on covered assets to be reimbursed by the FDIC. The Company recorded goodwill of $10.62 
million from the acquisition.

Insurance Services  

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.  
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)  

In 2013 the Company issued cash consideration of $150 thousand to purchase one agency. The acquisition terms call for further cash 
consideration of $253 thousand if certain operating targets are met. The fair value of these payments was booked at acquisition and added $324 
thousand of goodwill and other intangibles to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013. In 2011 Greenpoint 
received cash of $1.58 million from the sale of two agencies.  

Acquisitions that occurred before 2009 call for issuing further cash consideration if certain operating targets are met. If those targets are met, 
the value of the consideration will be added to the cost of the acquisition. Earn-out payments related to these acquisitions totaled $442 thousand 
in 2013, $692 thousand in 2012, and $680 thousand in 2011.

As of December 31, 2013, there were 219 individual securities in an unrealized loss position, and their combined depreciation in value 
represented 5.06% of the available-for-sale securities portfolio. Individual securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2013, 
included 32 securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer that the Company does not intend to sell, and that it has 
determined is not more likely than not going to be required to sell, prior to the maturities or recoveries of the securities. As of December 31, 
2012, there were 57 individual securities in an unrealized loss position, and their combined depreciation in value represented 2.78% of the

The carrying value of securities pledged to secure public deposits and other purposes was $284.77 million as of December 31, 2013, and 
$292.88 million as of December 31, 2012.  

The Company reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of OTTI. Debt securities not beneficially owned by the 
Company include securities issued from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), municipal securities, and single issue trust 
preferred securities. For debt securities not beneficially owned, the Company analyzes factors such as the severity and duration of the 
impairment, adverse conditions within the issuing industry, prospects for the issuer, performance of the security, changes in rating by rating 
agencies, and other qualitative factors to determine if the impairment will be recovered. If the evaluation suggests that the impairment will not 
be recovered, the Company calculates the present value of the security to determine the amount of OTTI. The security is then written down to 
its current present value and the Company calculates and records the amount of the loss due to credit factors in earnings through noninterest 
income and the amount due to other factors in stockholders’ equity through OCI. During 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred no OTTI 
charges related to debt securities not beneficially owned. Temporary impairment on these securities is primarily related to changes in interest 
rates, certain disruptions in the credit markets, destabilization in the Eurozone, and other current economic factors.  

Debt securities beneficially owned by the Company consist of corporate FDIC securities and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). For debt 
securities beneficially owned, the Company analyzes the cash flows for each applicable security to determine if an adverse change in cash 
flows expected to be collected has occurred. If the projected value of cash flows at the current reporting date is less than the present value 
previously projected, and less than the current book value, an adverse change has occurred. The Company then compares the current present 
value of cash flows to the current net book value to determine the credit-related portion of the OTTI. The credit-related OTTI is recorded in 
earnings through noninterest income and any remaining noncredit-related OTTI is recorded in stockholders’ equity through OCI. The Company 
incurred credit-related OTTI charges related to debt securities beneficially owned of $320 thousand in 2013 and $942 thousand in 2012. These 
charges were related to a non-Agency MBS.  

The Company uses a discounted cash flow model for the non-Agency Alt-A residential MBS with the following assumptions: constant 
voluntary prepayment rate of 2%, a customized constant default rate scenario that assumes

(1)  The beginning balance includes credit related losses included in OTTI charges recognized on debt securities in prior periods. 

For equity securities, the Company considers its intent to hold or sell the security before recovery, the severity and duration of the decline in 
fair value of the security below its cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether the decline appears to be 
related to issuer, general market, or industry conditions to determine if the impairment will be recovered. If the Company deems the 
impairment other-than-temporary in nature, the security is written down to its current present value and the OTTI loss is charged to earnings. 
During 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized no OTTI charges related to equity securities.

Note 5.  Credit Quality 

The Company identifies loans for potential impairment through a variety of means, including, but not limited to, ongoing loan review, renewal 
processes, delinquency data, market communications, and public information. If the Company determines that it is probable all principal and 
interest amounts contractually due will not be collected, the loan is generally deemed to be impaired.

As part of the ongoing monitoring of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators that include: trends 
related to the risk rating of commercial loans, the level of classified commercial loans, net charge-offs, nonperforming loans, and general 
economic conditions. The Company’s loan review function generally analyzes all commercial loan relationships greater than $3.0 million on an 
annual basis and at various times during the year. In addition, smaller commercial and retail loans are sampled for review during the year. Loan 
risk ratings may be upgraded or downgraded to reflect current information identified during the loan review process. The Company uses a risk 
grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each loan in its portfolio. The general characteristics of each risk grade are as follows:  

• 

• 

   Pass – This grade is assigned to loans with acceptable credit quality and risk. The Company further segments this grade based on 
borrower characteristics that include: capital strength, earnings stability, liquidity leverage, and industry conditions.  
   Special Mention – This grade is assigned to loans that require an above average degree of supervision and attention. These loans have the 

characteristics of an asset with acceptable credit quality and risk; however, adverse economic or financial conditions exist that create 
potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention. If potential weaknesses are not corrected, the prospect of repayment 
may worsen.  
   Substandard – This grade is assigned to loans that have well defined weaknesses that may make payment default, or principal exposure, 
possible. In order to meet repayment terms, these loans will likely be dependent on collateral liquidation, secondary repayment sources, 
or events outside the normal course of business.  
   Doubtful – This grade is assigned to loans on nonaccrual status. These loans have the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans; however, 
the weaknesses are so severe that collection or liquidation in full is extremely unlikely based on current facts, conditions, and values. Due 
to certain specific pending factors, the amount of loss cannot yet be determined.  
   Loss – This grade is assigned to loans that will be charged off or charged down when payments, including the timing and value of 

• 

• 

• 

payments, are determined to be uncertain. This risk grade does not imply that the asset has no recovery or salvage value, but simply 
means that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off, either all or a portion of, the loan balance even though partial recovery may 
be realized in the future.  

Losses on covered loans are generally reimbursable by the FDIC at the applicable loss share percentage, 80%; therefore, covered loans are 
disclosed separately in the following credit quality discussion. PCI loan pools are disaggregated and included in their applicable loan class in 
the following discussion. In addition, PCI loans are generally not classified as nonaccrual or nonperforming due to the accrual of interest 
income under the accretion method of accounting.

As of December 31, 2013, non-covered special mention and classified loans decreased $42.99 million, or 27.68%, compared to December 31, 
2012, which was primarily due to loan workout activity across the portfolio coupled with continued credit improvement. Credit quality also

The Company may make concessions in interest rates, loan terms and/or amortization terms when restructuring loans for borrowers 
experiencing financial difficulty. All restructured loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in excess of $250 thousand are evaluated 
for a specific reserve based on either the collateral or net present value method, whichever is most applicable. Specific reserves in the 
allowance for loan losses attributed to TDRs totaled $1.84 million as of December 31, 2013, and $1.87 million as of December 31, 2012.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)  

Restructured loans under $250 thousand are subject to the reserve calculation at the historical loss rate for classified loans. Certain TDRs are 
classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and are returned to performing status after six months of satisfactory payment 
performance; however, these loans remain identified as impaired until full payment or other satisfaction of the obligation occurs. The Company 
recognized interest income on TDRs of $551 thousand in 2013, $640 thousand in 2012, and $411 thousand in 2011.  

Loans acquired with credit deterioration, with a discount, are generally not considered a TDR as long as the loan remains in the assigned loan 
pool. There were no covered loans recorded as TDRs as of December 31, 2013 or 2012. The following table presents loans modified as TDRs, 
by loan class, segregated by accrual status, as of the dates indicated:

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management deems adequate to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan 
portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charges to operations and reduced by net charge-offs. While management utilizes its best 
judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent on a variety of factors that may be beyond the 
Company’s control: the performance of the Company’s loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates, the view of regulatory authorities 
towards loan classifications, and other factors. These uncertainties may result in a material change to the allowance for loan losses in the near 
term; however, the amount of the change cannot reasonably be estimated.  

The Company’s allowance is comprised of specific reserves related to loans individually evaluated, including credit relationships, and general 
reserves related to loans not individually evaluated that are segmented into groups with similar risk characteristics, based on an internal risk 
grading matrix. General reserve allocations are based on management’s judgments of qualitative and quantitative factors about macro and 
micro economic conditions reflected within the loan portfolio and the economy. For loans acquired in a business combination, loans identified 
as credit impaired at the acquisition date are grouped into pools and evaluated separately from the non-PCI portfolio. The Company has 
aggregated PCI loans into the following pools: Waccamaw commercial, Waccamaw lines of credit, Peoples commercial, Waccamaw serviced 
home equity lines, Waccamaw residential, Peoples residential, and Waccamaw consumer. Provisions calculated for PCI loans are offset by an 
adjustment to the FDIC indemnification asset to reflect the indemnified portion, 80%, of the post-acquisition exposure. While allocations are 
made to specific loans, various portfolio segments, and loan pools, the allowance for loan losses is available for use against any loan loss 
management deems appropriate. As of December 31, 2013, management believed the allowance was adequate to absorb probable loan losses 
inherent in the loan portfolio.

Note 7. 

FDIC Indemnification Asset 

The Company entered into loss share agreements with the FDIC in 2012 in connection with the FDIC-assisted acquisition of Waccamaw. 
Under the loss share agreements, the FDIC agreed to cover 80% of most loan and foreclosed real estate losses. Certain expenses incurred in 
relation to these covered assets are reimbursable by the FDIC. Estimated reimbursements are netted against the expense on covered assets in 
the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The following table presents activity in the FDIC indemnification asset in the periods 
indicated:  

(Amounts in thousands)

Note 9.  Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets 

Goodwill  

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated to the appropriate 
reporting unit when acquired, if applicable. Before 2009, the cash consideration for meeting certain operating targets, under the agreement 
terms, was added to goodwill when paid. Beginning in 2009, the estimated future value of the cash consideration is recognized as goodwill at 
the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2013, the total potential cash consideration remaining to be paid in connection with acquisitions that 
occurred before 2009 was $353 thousand, which is allocated to the Insurance Services reporting unit. The Company analyzed the carrying 
value of goodwill as of October 31, 2013, and determined that no impairment charge was necessary.

The Company’s intangible assets also include core deposit and other identifiable intangible assets. Core deposit intangible assets are amortized 
over their estimated useful lives that range from 7 to 10 years. As of December 31, 2013, the remaining lives of core deposit intangible assets 
ranged from 2 to 5 years, and the weighted average remaining life was 4 years. Other identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of the 
value assigned to contractual rights arising from insurance agency acquisitions. Other identifiable intangible assets are amortized using the

FHLB callable advances may be redeemed by the FHLB at quarterly intervals after various lockout periods that could substantially shorten the 
lives of the advances. If called, the advance may be paid in full or converted into another FHLB credit product. Prepayment of an advance may 
result in substantial penalties based on the differential between the contractual note and current advance rate for similar maturities. FHLB 
advances were secured by qualifying loans that totaled $1.13 billion as of December 31, 2013, and $998.14 million as of December 31, 2012. 
Unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB was $324.34 million as of December 31, 2013. In 2013, the Company prepaid $8.15 million in 
wholesale repurchase agreements and $11.47 million in FHLB borrowings resulting in a $296 thousand gain.  

Subordinated debt consists of junior subordinated debentures (“Debentures”) of $15.46 million that were issued by the Company in October 
2003 to the Trust. The Debentures had an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.95%. The Trust was able to purchase the Debentures 
through the issuance of trust preferred securities, which had substantially identical terms as the Debentures. The Debentures mature on 
October 8, 2033 and are currently callable. Net proceeds from the offering were contributed as capital to the Bank to support further growth. 
The Company’s obligations under the Debentures and other relevant Trust agreements, in aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional 
guarantee by the Company of the Trust’s obligations. The preferred securities issued by the Trust are not included in the Company’s 
consolidated balance sheets; however, these securities qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes, subject to guidelines issued by the 
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). The Federal Reserve’s quantitative limits did not prevent the 
Company from including all $15.46 million in trust preferred securities outstanding in Tier 1 capital as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.  

Note 12.  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities 

The Company primarily uses derivative instruments to protect against the risk of adverse price or interest rate movements on the value of 
certain assets and liabilities and on future cash flows. Derivative instruments represent contracts between parties that usually require little or no 
initial net investment and result in one party delivering cash or another asset to the other party based on a notional amount and an underlying 
asset as specified in the contract. These derivative instruments may consist of interest rate swaps, floors, caps, collars, futures, forward 
contracts, and written and purchased options. Derivative instruments are subject to counterparty credit risk due to the possibility that the 
Company will incur a loss because a counterparty, which may be a bank, a broker-dealer or a customer, fails to meet its contractual obligations. 
This risk is measured as the expected positive replacement value of contracts. All derivative contracts may be executed only with exchanges or 
counterparties approved by the Company’s Asset/Liability Management Committee.

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.  
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)  

As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s derivative instruments consisted of IRLCs, forward sale loan commitments, and interest rate swaps. 
Generally, derivative instruments help the Company manage exposure to market risk and meet customer financing needs. Market risk 
represents the possibility that economic value or net interest income will be adversely affected by fluctuations in external factors such as 
interest rates, market-driven loan rates, prices, or other economic factors.  

IRLCs and forward sale loan commitments . In the normal course of business, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments 
(“IRLCs”) with customers on mortgage loans intended to be sold in the secondary market and commitments to sell those originated mortgage 
loans. The Company enters into IRLCs to provide potential borrowers an interest rate guarantee. Once a mortgage loan is closed and funded, it 
is included within loans held for sale and awaits sale and delivery into the secondary market. From the date we issue the commitment through 
the date of sale into the secondary market, the Company has exposure to interest rate movement resulting from the risk that interest rates will 
change from the rate quoted to the borrower. Due to these interest rate fluctuations, the Company’s balance of mortgage loans held for sale is 
subject to changes in fair value. Typically, the fair value of these loans declines when interest rates increase and rise when interest rates 
decrease. The fair values of the Company’s IRLCs and forward sale loan commitments are recorded at fair value as a component of other assets 
and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. These derivatives do not qualify as hedging instruments; therefore, changes in fair value 
are recorded in earnings.  

Interest rate swaps . The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to modify its exposure to interest rate risk caused by changes in the 
London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve in relation to certain designated fixed rate loans. These instruments are used to convert these 
fixed rate loans to an effective floating rate. If the LIBOR rate falls below the loan’s stated fixed rate for a given period, the Company will owe 
the floating rate payer the notional amount times the difference between LIBOR and the stated fixed rate. If LIBOR is above the stated rate for 
a given period, the Company will receive payments based on the notional amount times the difference between LIBOR and the stated fixed 
rate. The Company’s interest rate swaps qualify as fair value hedging instruments; therefore, changes in the fair value of the derivative and of 
the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the same period.  

In October 2013, the Company entered into a ten-year, $3.50 million notional interest rate swap agreement that was accounted for as a fair 
value hedge. The swap and loan hedged by the swap are recorded at fair value. The hedge was effective as of December 31, 2013.

Note 13.  Employee Benefit Plans 

Employee Stock Ownership and Savings Plan  

The Company maintains the Employee Stock Ownership and Savings Plan (“KSOP”). Coverage under the plan is provided to all employees 
who meet minimum eligibility requirements. The KSOP held 499,075 shares of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2013, 
561,551 shares as of December 31, 2012, and 588,656 shares as of December 31, 2011.  

Employer Stock Fund  

The Company made annual contributions to the stock feature within the KSOP at the discretion of the Board of Directors until December 31, 
2006, when the plan was frozen to future contributions. Substantially all plan assets are invested in the Company’s common stock. All KSOP 
contributions beginning in 2007 have been made to the employee savings feature of the plan.  

Employee Savings Plan  

The Company provides a 401(k) savings feature within the KSOP. The Company makes matching contributions to employee deferrals at levels 
determined by the Board of Directors on an annual basis. The cost of the Company’s 100% matching contributions to qualified deferrals under 
the 401(k) savings component of the KSOP was $1.61 million in 2013, $1.27 million in 2012, and $1.34 million in 2011. In 2013 and 2011, all 
matching contributions were made in the Company’s common stock. In 2012, matching contributions were made in cash and the Company’s 
common stock.  

Employee Welfare Plan  

The Company provides various medical, dental, vision, life, accidental death and dismemberment, and long-term disability insurance benefits 
to all full-time employees who elect coverage under this program. The health plan is managed by a third-party administrator. Monthly 
employer and employee contributions are made to a tax-exempt employee benefits trust where the third-party administrator processes and pays 
claims. Stop-loss insurance coverage limits the Company’s risk of loss to $100 thousand for individual claims and $3.98 million aggregate 
claims. Expenses related to the health plan were $3.02 million in 2013, $2.25 million in 2012, and $3.49 million in 2011.

Deferred Compensation Plan  

The Company maintains deferred compensation agreements with certain current and former officers that provide benefit payments, over 
various periods, commencing at retirement or death. Accrued benefits are based on the present values of expected payments and estimated life 
expectancies and totaled $455 thousand as of December 31, 2013, and $459 thousand as of December 31, 2012. Expenses related to the 
deferred compensation plan were $60 thousand in each of the three years ended December 31, 2013.  

Supplemental Executive Retention Plan  

The Company maintains the Supplemental Executive Retention Plan (the “SERP”) for key members of senior management. The domestic 
noncontributory, nonqualified SERP provides for a defined benefit, at normal retirement age, targeted at 35% of the participant’s projected 
final average compensation, subject to a defined maximum annual benefit. Benefits under the SERP generally become payable at age 62. The 
SERP is an unfunded plan; accordingly, there are no plan assets. The following table presents the components of the SERP’s net periodic 
pension cost in the periods indicated:

The actuarial benefit plan obligation was $5.62 million as of December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012. The obligation as of December 31, 
2013, included a $380 thousand increase as a result of an amendment in January 2013 to revise the amount of normal retirement benefit. The 
increase was offset by a $725 thousand actuarial gain. The assumed discount rate was increased to 5.25% as of December 31, 2013, compared 
to 4.20% as of December 31, 2012. The following schedule presents the projected benefit payments to be paid under the SERP, by year, as of

Directors’ Supplemental Retirement Plan  

The Company maintains the Directors’ Supplemental Retirement Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”) for non-management directors. The domestic 
noncontributory, nonqualified Directors’ Plan provides for a defined benefit, at normal retirement age, up to 100% of the participant’s highest 
consecutive three-year average compensation. Benefits under the Directors’ Plan generally become payable at age 70. The Directors’ Plan is an

Note 14.  Equity-Based Compensation 

The Company maintains equity-based compensation plans to promote the long-term success of the Company by encouraging officers, 
employees, directors, and other individuals performing services for the Company to focus on critical long-range objectives. The Company’s 
equity-based compensation plans include the 2012 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (“2012 Plan”), 2004 Omnibus Stock Option Plan, 2001 
Director’s Option Plan, 1999 Stock Option Plan, and various other option plans. As of December 31, 2013, the 2012 Plan was the only plan 
available for the issuance of future grants. All plans before the 2012 Plan are frozen and no new grants may be issued; however, any options or 
awards unexercised and outstanding under those plans remain in effect in accordance with their respective terms.  

The 2012 Plan made available up to 600,000 shares for potential grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, performance 
awards, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, bonus stock, and stock awards. Options granted pursuant to the 2012 
Plan shall state the period of time the grant may be exercised, not to exceed more than ten years from the date granted. The Company’s 
Compensation and Retirement Committee shall determine the vesting period for each grant; however, if no vesting period is specified the 
vesting shall occur in 25% increments on the first four anniversaries of the grant date.

The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model with the following 
assumptions: expected volatility is based on the weekly historical volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term of 
the option; the expected term is generally calculated using the shortcut method; the risk-free interest rate is based on the Treasury yield curve 
on the grant date with a term comparable to the grant; and the dividend yield is based on the Company’s dividend yield using the most recent 
dividend rate paid per share and trading price of the Company’s common stock.  

The following table presents the assumptions used to estimate the fair values of stock options at the date of grant in the periods indicated. No 
stock options were granted in 2013 or 2012.

As of December 31, 2013, unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options was $61 thousand, which is expected to be

Restricted stock awards represent shares issued upon grant that are restricted and generally use a three-year vesting schedule from the grant 
date. The fair value of restricted stock awards is calculated using the Company’s common stock price on the grant date. The following table 
presents restricted stock activity under the equity-based compensation plans in the period indicated:

As of December 31, 2013, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards was $23 thousand, which is expected 
to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.87 years. The actual compensation cost recognized will differ from this estimate due to a 
number of items, including new awards granted and changes in estimated forfeitures.  

Performance Stock Awards  

Performance stock awards represent shares potentially issuable in the future. In 2013, the Company awarded 80,872 shares with a three-year 
performance period. Approximately 48% of each award vested on the grant date and the remaining shares vest in three equal installments, 
subject to the annual performance requirement and the recipient’s continued employment on the applicable vesting date. The performance 
requirement is based on an annual three-year average minimum growth rate in earnings per share. The fair value of performance stock awards 
is calculated using the Company’s stock price on the grant date. The following table presents performance stock activity under the 2012 Plan in

The Company’s effective tax rate, defined as income tax expense divided by pre-tax income, may vary significantly from the statutory rate due 
to permanent differences and the use of available tax credits. The Company’s most significant permanent differences, income and expense 
items excluded by law in the calculation of taxable income, include income on municipal securities, which are exempt from federal income tax, 
income on bank-owned life insurance, and tax credits generated by investments in low income housing and rehabilitation of historic structures.

Note 18.  Fair Value 

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value  

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market 
participants. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of 
such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is presented in the following discussion. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs 
used in measuring fair value as follows:  

   • 

   • 

   • 

   Level 1 – Observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets  
   Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability  
   Level 3 – Unobservable inputs with little or no market activity that require the Company to use reasonable inputs and assumptions  

The Company uses fair value measurements to record adjustments to certain financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis. Additionally, 
the Company may be required to record certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in specific circumstances, such as evidence of 
impairment. Methodologies used to determine fair value may be highly subjective and judgmental in nature, such as cash flow estimates, risk 
characteristics, credit quality measurements, and interest rates; therefore, valuations may not be precise. Since fair values are estimated as of a 
specific date, the amounts actually realized or paid on the settlement or maturity of these instruments may be significantly different from 
estimates. See Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

Assets and Liabilities Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis  

Available-for-Sale Securities . Securities available for sale are reported at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of Level 1 securities is 
based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. The Company also uses Level 1 inputs to value equity securities that are traded in 
active markets. 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 primarily derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 securities 
use fair value measurements from independent pricing services obtained by the Company. These fair value measurements consider observable 
data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market 
consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and bond terms and conditions. The Company’s Level 2 securities include U.S. Treasury 
securities, single issue trust preferred securities, corporate securities, MBS, and certain equity securities that are not actively traded. Securities 
are based on Level 3 inputs when there is limited activity or less transparency to the valuation inputs. In the absence of observable or 
corroborated market data, internally developed estimates that incorporate market-based assumptions are used when such information is 
available.  

Fair value models may be required when trading activity has declined significantly or does not exist, prices are not current, or pricing variations 
are significant. For Level 3 securities, the Company obtains the cash flow of specific securities from third parties that use modeling software to 
determine cash flows based on market participant data and knowledge of the structures of each individual security. The fair value of Level 3 
securities are determined by applying appropriate market observable discount rates to the cash flow derived from third-party models. Discount 
rates are developed by determining credit spreads above a benchmark rate, such as LIBOR, and adding premiums for illiquidity, which are 
based on a comparison of initial issuance spread to LIBOR versus a financial sector curve for recently issued debt to LIBOR. Securities with 
increased uncertainty regarding the receipt of cash flows are discounted at higher rates due to the addition of a deal specific credit premium 
based on assumptions about the performance of the underlying collateral. Finally, internal fair value model pricing and external pricing 
observations are combined by assigning weights to each pricing observation. Pricing is reviewed for reasonableness based on the direction of 
the specific markets and the general economic indicators.  

Deferred Compensation Assets and Liabilities . Securities held for trading purposes are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and included 
in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. These securities include assets related to employee deferred compensation plans, which are 
generally invested in Level 1 equity securities. The liability associated with these deferred compensation plans are carried at the fair value of 
the obligation to the employee, which corresponds to the fair value of the invested assets.  

Derivative Assets and Liabilities . Derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company obtains dealer quotes, Level 2 
inputs, based on observable data to value derivatives.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)  

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012. If the Company determines that a valuation 
technique change is necessary, the change is assumed to have occurred at the end of the respective reporting period. In addition, there were no 
transfers in to or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.  

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis  

Impaired Loans . Impaired loans are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when repayment is expected solely from the sale of the 
loan’s collateral. Fair value is based on appraised value adjusted for customized discounting criteria, Level 3 inputs.  

The Company maintains an active and robust problem credit identification system. The impairment review includes obtaining third-party 
collateral valuations to assist management in identifying potential credit impairment and determining the amount of impairment to record. The 
Company’s Special Assets staff assumes the management and monitoring of all loans determined to be impaired. Internal collateral valuations 
are generally performed within two to four weeks of identifying the initial potential impairment. The internal valuation compares the original 
appraisal to current local real estate market conditions and considers experience and expected liquidation costs. A third-party valuation is 
typically received within thirty to forty-five days of completing the internal valuation. When a third-party valuation is received, it is reviewed 
for reasonableness. Once the valuation is reviewed and accepted, discounts are applied to fair market value, based on, but not limited to, our 
historical liquidation experience for like collateral, resulting in an estimated net realizable value. The estimated net realizable value is 
compared to the outstanding loan balance to determine the appropriate amount of specific impairment reserve.  

Specific reserves are generally recorded for impaired loans while third-party valuations are in process and for impaired loans that continue to 
make some form of payment. While waiting to receive the third-party appraisal, the Company regularly reviews the relationship to identify any 
potential adverse developments and begins the tasks necessary to gain control of the collateral and prepare it for liquidation, including, but not 
limited to, engagement of counsel, inspection of collateral, and continued communication with the borrower, if appropriate. Generally, the only 
difference between the current appraised value, less liquidation costs, and the carrying amount of the loan, less the specific reserve, is any 
downward adjustment to the appraised value that the Company deems appropriate, such as the costs to sell the property and a deflator for the 
devaluation of property when banks are the sellers. Impaired loans that do not meet the aforementioned criteria and do not have a specific 
reserve have typically been written down through partial charge-offs to net realizable value. Based on prior experience, the Company rarely 
returns loans to performing status after they have been partially charged off. Credits identified as impaired move quickly through the process 
towards ultimate resolution except in cases involving bankruptcy and various state judicial processes, which may extend the time for ultimate 
resolution.  

Other Real Estate Owned . OREO is recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs. The Company calculates the fair value 
of OREO from current or prior appraisals that have been adjusted for valuation declines, estimated selling costs, and other proprietary 
qualitative adjustments that are deemed necessary.  

Goodwill . Goodwill is recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when impairment has occurred. The fair value of the Company’s reporting 
units use Level 3 inputs based on discounted cash flow and market multiple models.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments  

The Company uses various methodologies and assumptions to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments. A description of the 
valuation methodologies used for instruments not previously discussed is as follows:  

Cash and Cash Equivalents . Cash and cash equivalents are reported at their carrying amount, which is considered a reasonable estimate due to 
the short-term nature of these instruments.  

Held-to-Maturity Securities . Securities held to maturity are reported at fair value using quoted market prices or dealer quotes.  

Loans Held for Sale . Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on the market 
price of similar loans.

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.  
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)  

Loans Held for Investment . Loans held for investment are reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply current interest 
rates for loans with similar terms and borrower credit quality.  

FDIC Indemnification Asset . The FDIC indemnification asset is reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply current 
discount rates.  

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable . Accrued interest receivable/payable is reported at their carrying amount, which is considered a 
reasonable estimate due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  

Deposits and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase . Deposits without a stated maturity, such as demand, interest-bearing demand, 
and savings, are reported at their carrying amount, the amount payable on demand as of the reporting date, which is considered a reasonable 
estimate of fair value. Deposits and repurchase agreements with fixed maturities and rates are reported at fair value using discounted future 
cash flows that apply interest rates currently available in the market for instruments with similar characteristics and maturities.  

FHLB and Other Indebtedness . FHLB and other indebtedness is reported at fair value using discounted future cash flows that apply interest 
rates currently available to the Company for borrowings with similar characteristics and maturities. Trust preferred obligations are reported at 
fair value using current credit spreads in the market for similar issues.  

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments . The Company believes that fair values of unfunded commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and 
financial guarantees are not meaningful; therefore, off-balance sheet instruments are not addressed in the fair value disclosures. Due to the 
uncertainty and difficulty in assessing the likelihood and timing of advancing available proceeds, the lack of an established market for these 
instruments, and the diversity in fee structures, the Company believes it is not feasible or practicable to accurately disclose the fair values of 
off-balance sheet instruments. For additional information regarding the unfunded, contractual value of off-balance sheet financial instruments 
see Note 20, “Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

totaled $57 thousand in 2013, $63 thousand in 2012, and $80 thousand in 2011. Lease expense paid to related parties totaled $134 thousand in 
2013, $171 thousand in 2012, and $164 thousand in 2011.  

Note 20.  Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies 

Litigation 

In the normal course of business, the Company is a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims. While the Company and its legal 
counsel are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each of these matters with certainty, the Company believes the resolution of these actions, 
singly or in the aggregate, should not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the 
Company.

Commitments and Contingencies  

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its 
customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. These 
instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk beyond the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The 
contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. If the 
other party to a financial instrument does not perform, the Company’s credit loss exposure is the same as the contractual amount of the 
instrument. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet 
instruments.  

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. 
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the 
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash 
requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed 
necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant 
and equipment, and income producing commercial properties. Commitments to extend credit also include outstanding commitments related to 
mortgage loans that are sold on a best efforts basis into the secondary loan market. The Company maintains a reserve for the risk inherent in 
unfunded lending commitments, which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.  

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a 
customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending credit to 
customers. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, to secure the customer’s performance under certain letters of credit is based 
on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.  

The following table presents the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments as of the dates indicated:

Company has committed to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the following payments or distributions, with respect to the trust 
preferred securities to the holders thereof to the extent that the Trust has not made such payments or distributions and has the funds therefore: 
(i) accrued and unpaid distributions, (ii) the redemption price, and (iii) upon a dissolution or termination of the Trust, the lesser of the 
liquidation amount and all accrued and unpaid distributions and the amount of assets of the Trust remaining available for distribution.

Note 21.  Regulatory Capital Requirements and Restrictions 

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Failure 
to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if 
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and 
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, which applies only to the Bank, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that 
involve quantitative measures of the entity’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting 
practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk 
weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to 
maintain minimum amounts and ratios for total and Tier 1 capital, as defined in the regulations, to risk-weighted assets, as defined, and of Tier 
1 capital, as defined, to average assets, as defined.  

To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted 
assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets (leverage) ratios established by banking regulators. As of December 31, 2013, the Company and the 
Bank continued to meet all capital adequacy requirements. As of December 31, 2013, the most recent notifications from regulators continued to 
categorize the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes there have been no 
conditions or events since those notifications that would change the Bank’s classification. The following table presents the Company’s and the 
Bank’s capital ratios as of the dates indicated:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)  

The primary source of funds for dividends paid by the Company to shareholders is dividends received from the Bank, which are subject to 
banking regulation restrictions. Approval by regulatory authorities is required to declare dividends if the dividends are to be paid in something 
other than cash, if the cumulative dividend payment exceeds the net retained income of the current year to date plus the retained net income of 
the preceding two years, or if payment of the dividend would cause the Bank to become undercapitalized.  

The Bank issues mortgages insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) as a HUD-approved Title II 
Supervised Mortgagee. A Title II Supervised Mortgagee must maintain an adjusted minimum net worth of $1 million. Not complying with this 
minimum net worth requirement may result in penalties, such as the revocation of the Bank’s license to issue HUD insured mortgages, which 
may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Bank’s adjusted net worth was $201.92 
million as of December 31, 2013, and $205.54 million as of December 31, 2012, which significantly exceeds minimum net worth requirements.

- Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm -  

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Community Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity 
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First 
Community Bancshares, Inc. and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for 
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United 
States of America.  

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s 
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework 
(1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 11, 2014 
expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

- Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting -  

First Community Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the consolidated 
financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements and notes included in this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily include some 
amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.  

We, as management of the Company, are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting that is 
designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The system of internal 
control over financial reporting as it relates to the financial statements is evaluated for effectiveness by management and tested for reliability. 
Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be 
circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, 
internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable 
assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.  

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework 
in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992)  issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. 
Based on this assessment, management concluded that its system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 
2013.  

Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, 
which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2013, appears hereafter in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

To the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Stockholders  
First Community Bancshares, Inc.  

- Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm -  

We have audited First Community Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 
31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations 
of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting 
and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s 
Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over 
financial reporting based on our audit.  

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

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

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

In our opinion, First Community Bancshares, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of 
December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated 
financial statements of First Community Bancshares, Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, and our report, dated March 11, 
2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. 

None.  

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures. 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures  

In connection with this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our 
Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant 
to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as 
of December 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  

Disclosure controls and procedures are our Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are 
required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time 
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures 
designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and 
communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  

Management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all 
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of 
the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance 
that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities 
that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can 
be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, collusion of two or more people, or management’s override of the controls.  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting  

We assess the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting quarterly and enhance our controls in response to internal control 
assessments and internal and external audit and regulatory recommendations. There were no changes in our internal control over financial 
reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2013, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control 
over financial reporting.  

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting  

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, is included in Item 8, 
“Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting,” of this report. Our independent auditors’ report on management’s 
assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, is included in Item 8, “Report of Independent Registered 
Public Accounting Firm,” of this report.
