AMERICAN NATIONAL BANKSHARES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American National Bankshares Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, American National Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank").  The Bank offers a wide variety of retail, commercial, secondary market mortgage lending, and trust and investment services which also include non-deposit products such as mutual funds and insurance policies.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed real estate, goodwill and intangible assets, the valuation of deferred tax assets, other-than-temporary impairments of securities, and acquired loans with specific credit-related deterioration. 
All significant inter-company transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation, with the exception of the AMNB Trust and the MidCarolina Trusts, as detailed in Note 9.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the year ending December 31, 2015.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have an impact on net income and were considered immaterial. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the" FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.” This ASU aligns the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as a repurchase financing with the accounting for other typical repurchase agreements. The new guidance eliminates sale accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and supersedes the guidance under which a transfer of a financial asset and a contemporaneous repurchase financing could be accounted for on a combined basis as a forward agreement. The amendments in the ASU also require a new disclosure for transactions economically similar to repurchase agreements in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets throughout the term of the transaction. Additional disclosures will be required for the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014; however, the disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” This update is intended to provide guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to

Index

continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Management is required under the new guidance to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued when preparing financial statements for each interim and annual reporting period. If conditions or events are identified, the ASU specifies the process that must be followed by management and also clarifies the timing and content of going concern footnote disclosures in order to reduce diversity in practice. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-16, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity.” The amendments in this ASU do not change the current criteria in GAAP for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required. The amendments clarify how current GAAP should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. Specifically, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider all relevant terms and features, including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for bifurcation, in evaluating the nature of the host contract. Furthermore, the amendments clarify that no single term or feature would necessarily determine the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. Rather, the nature of the host contract depends upon the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument. The amendments in this ASU also clarify that, in evaluating the nature of a host contract, an entity should assess the substance of the relevant terms and features (i.e., the relative strength of the debt-like or equity-like terms and features given the facts and circumstances) when considering how to weight those terms and features. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-16 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.” The amendments in this ASU eliminate from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items, required that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be an ordinary and usual activity of the reporting entity unless evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item. If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The entity also is required to disclose applicable income taxes and either present or disclose earnings-per-share data applicable to the extraordinary item. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from four to two, the new standard simplifies the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and improves current GAAP by placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest, reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity ("VIE"), and changing consolidation conclusions for public and private companies in several industries that typically make use of limited partnerships or VIEs. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. ASU 2015-02 may be applied retrospectively in previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first year restated. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-02 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
    
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The amendments in this ASU are intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. These amendments require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously

issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.” The amendments in this ASU provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments do not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. As a result of the amendments, all software licenses within the scope of Subtopic 350-40 will be accounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments either: (1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date; or (2) retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2015-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115.” The amendments in ASU 2015-08 amend various Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 115, Topic 5: Miscellaneous Accounting, regarding various pushdown accounting issues, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Acquisition of MainStreet
On January 1, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of MainStreet BankShares, Inc. ("MainStreet"). The merger of MainStreet with and into the Company was effected pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of August 24, 2014, between the Company and MainStreet, and a related Plan of Merger. Immediately after the merger, Franklin Community Bank, N.A., MainStreet's wholly owned bank subsidiary, merged with and into the Bank.   Pursuant to the MainStreet merger agreement, holders of shares of MainStreet common stock received $3.46 in cash and 0.482 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of MainStreet common stock held immediately prior to the effective date of the merger, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares.  Each option to purchase shares of MainStreet common stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger vested upon the merger and was converted into an option to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, adjusted based on a 0.643 exchange ratio. Each share of the Company's common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger remained outstanding and was unaffected by the merger. The cash portion of the merger consideration was funded through a cash dividend of $6,000,000 from the Bank to the Company, and no borrowing was incurred by the Company or the Bank in connection with the merger. Replacement stock option awards representing 43,086 shares of the Company's common stock were granted in conjunction with the MainStreet acquisition.  The value of the consideration transferred with the replacement awards was not determined as of June 30, 2015; therefore, the amounts of the consideration transferred and goodwill recorded in connection with the merger will be adjusted for the value of the replacement awards in the third quarter of 2015.

The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition.

In many cases, the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined by estimating the cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and discounting them at appropriate market rates. The most significant category of assets for which this procedure was used was that of acquired loans. The Company acquired the $122,300,000 loan portfolio at a fair value discount of $7,400,000. The estimated fair value of the performing portion of the portfolio was $105,800,000. The excess of expected cash flows above the fair value of the performing portion of loans will be accreted to interest income over the remaining lives of the loans in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 310-20.
 
Certain loans, those for which specific credit-related deterioration since origination was identified, are recorded at fair value, reflecting the present value of the amounts expected to be collected. Income recognition on these loans is based on reasonable expectations about the timing and amount of cash flows to be collected. Acquired loans deemed impaired and considered collateral dependent, with the timing of the sale of loan collateral indeterminate, remain on non-accrual status and have no accretable yield.

Index

In connection with the acquisition of MainStreet, the Company acquired an investment portfolio with a fair value of $18,800,000. The fair value of the investment portfolio was determined by taking into account market prices obtained from independent valuation sources.

In connection with the acquisition of MainStreet, the Company recorded a deferred income tax asset of $2,683,000 related to tax attributes of MainStreet, along with the effects of fair value adjustments resulting from applying the acquisition method of accounting.

In connection with the acquisition of MainStreet, the Company acquired other real estate owned with a fair value of $168,000. Other real estate owned was measured at fair value less estimated cost to sell.

In connection with acquisition of with MainStreet, the Company acquired premises and equipment with a fair value of $1,475,000.

The fair value of savings and transaction deposit accounts acquired from MainStreet was assumed to approximate their carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. Certificates of deposit accounts were valued by comparing the contractual cost of the portfolio to an identical portfolio bearing current market rates. The portfolio was segregated into pools based on segments: retail, individual retirement accounts, and brokered. For each segment, the projected cash flows from maturing certificates were then calculated based on contractual rates and prevailing market rates. The valuation adjustment for each segment is equal to the present value of the difference of these two cash flows, discounted at the assumed market rate for a certificate with a corresponding maturity. This valuation adjustment of $290,000 will be accreted to reduce interest expense over the average remaining maturities of the respective pools, which is estimated to be 12 months.

A core deposit intangible of $1,839,000 was recognized in connection with the acquisition of MainStreet. This intangible will be amortized over a 10 year period on an accelerated cost recovery basis.

Direct costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred. During 2015, the Company incurred $1,861,000 in merger and acquisition expenses.

The following table presents unaudited pro forma information as if the acquisition of MainStreet had occurred on January 1, 2014. This pro forma information gives effect to certain adjustments, including acquisition accounting fair value adjustments, amortization of core deposit intangible and related income tax effects. The pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had the merger with MainStreet occurred in 2014.  In particular, expected operational cost savings are not reflected in the pro forma amounts (dollars in thousands).

Restricted Stock
Due to restrictions placed upon the Bank's common stock investment in the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond ("FRB") and Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB"), these securities have been classified as restricted equity securities and carried at cost.  The restricted securities are not subject to the investment security classification and are included as a separate line item on the Company's balance sheet.  The FRB requires the Bank to maintain stock with a par value equal to 6.0% of its common stock and paid-in surplus.  One-half of this amount is paid to the FRB and the remaining half is subject to call when deemed necessary by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  The FHLB requires the Bank to maintain stock in an amount equal to a specific percentage of the Bank's total assets and 4.5% of outstanding borrowings. The cost of restricted stock at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Federal Agencies and GSE debt securities: The unrealized losses on the Company's investment in 15 government sponsored entities ("GSE") were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015.
Mortgage-backed securities and CMOs: The unrealized losses on the Company's investment in 23 GSE mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the Company's investments. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015.
State and municipal securities:  The unrealized losses on 32 state and municipal securities were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015.
Corporate securities:  The unrealized losses on three investments in corporate securities were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015.
Restricted stock: When evaluating restricted stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The company does not consider restricted stock to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015, and no impairment has been recognized.

Loans classified in the Pass category typically are fundamentally sound and risk factors are reasonable and acceptable.
Loans classified in the Special Mention category typically have been criticized internally, by loan review or the loan officer, or by external regulators under the current credit policy regarding risk grades. Loans classified in the Substandard category typically have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt; they are typically characterized by the possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Loans classified in the Doubtful category typically have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as substandard, plus the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable. However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur that may salvage the debt.
Consumer loans are classified as performing or nonperforming.  A loan is nonperforming when payments of interest and principal are past due 90 days or more, or payments are less than 90 days past due, but there are other good reasons to doubt that payment will be made in full.

The allowance for loan losses is allocated to loan segments based upon historical loss factors, risk grades on individual loans, portfolio analysis of smaller balance, homogenous loans, and qualitative factors.  Qualitative factors include trends in delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, and loss rates; trends in volume and terms of loans, effects of changes in risk selection, underwriting standards, and lending policies; experience of lending officers and other lending staff; national, regional, and local economic trends and conditions; legal, regulatory and collateral factors; and concentrations of credit.
Note 6 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Impairment testing is performed annually, as well as when an event triggering impairment may have occurred. The Company performs its annual analysis as of June 30 each fiscal year. Accounting guidance permits preliminary assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether more substantial impairment testing is required. The Company chose to bypass the preliminary assessment and utilized a two-step process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures the impairment.  No indicators of impairment were identified as of June 30, 2015.
Core deposit intangibles resulting from the MidCarolina acquisition in July 2011 were $3,112,000 and are being amortized on an accelerated basis over 120 months. Core deposit intangibles resulting from the MainStreet acquisition in January 2015 were $1,839,000 and are being amortized on an accelerated basis over 120 months.

Note 7 – Short-term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings consist of customer repurchase agreements, overnight borrowings from the FHLB, and Federal Funds purchased.  Customer repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities of the U.S. Government or its agencies or GSEs.  They mature daily.  The interest rates may be changed at the discretion of the Company. The securities underlying these agreements remain under the Company's control.  Other short-term borrowings consist of overnight advances which contain floating interest rates that may change daily at the discretion of the FHLB.  Federal Funds purchased are unsecured overnight borrowings from other financial institutions. There were no customer repurchase agreements acquired in the MainStreet acquisition. Short-term borrowings consisted of the following at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

Note 8 – Long-term Borrowings 
Under the terms of its collateral agreement with the FHLB, the Company provides a blanket lien covering all of its residential first mortgage loans, second mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, and commercial real estate loans.  In addition, the Company pledges as collateral its capital stock in the FHLB and deposits with the FHLB.  The Company has a line of credit with the FHLB equal to 30% of the Company's assets, subject to the amount of collateral pledged.  As of June 30, 2015, $418,277,000 in eligible collateral was pledged under the blanket floating lien agreement which covers both short-term and long-term borrowings.  Long-term borrowings consisted of the following fixed rate, long-term advances as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

The advance due in November 2017 is net of a fair value discount of $53,000. The original discount recorded on July 1, 2011, was a result of the merger with MidCarolina. The adjustment to the face value is being amortized into interest expense over the life of the borrowing. There were no long-term borrowings acquired in the MainStreet acquisition and no borrowings were incurred to fund the acquisition. 
In the regular course of conducting its business, the Company takes deposits from political subdivisions of the states of Virginia and North Carolina. At June 30, 2015, the Bank's public deposits totaled $140,950,000.  The Company is required to provide collateral to secure the deposits that exceed the insurance coverage provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. This collateral can be provided in the form of certain types of government or agency bonds or letters of credit from the FHLB. At June 30, 2015, the Company had $70,000,000 in letters of credit with the FHLB outstanding, as well as $132,382,000 in agency, state, and municipal securities pledged to provide collateral for such deposits.

Note 9 – Trust Preferred Capital Notes 
On April 7, 2006, AMNB Statutory Trust I (the "AMNB Trust I"), a Delaware statutory trust and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $20,000,000 of preferred securities (the "Trust Preferred Securities") in a private placement pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration.  The Trust Preferred Securities mature on June 30, 2036, but may be redeemed at the Company's option (which option became effective beginning on September 30, 2011).  Initially, the securities required quarterly distributions by the AMNB Trust I to the holder of the Trust Preferred Securities at a fixed rate of 6.66%.  Effective September 30, 2011, the rate resets quarterly at the three-month LIBOR plus 1.35%.  Distributions are cumulative and will accrue from the date of original issuance, but may be deferred by the Company from time to time for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods.  The Company has guaranteed the payment of all required distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities. 
The proceeds of the Trust Preferred Securities received by the AMNB Trust I, along with proceeds of $619,000 received by the trust from the issuance of common securities by the trust to the Company, were used to purchase $20,619,000 of the Company's junior subordinated debt securities (the "Trust Preferred Capital Notes"), issued pursuant to junior subordinated debentures entered into between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee.  The proceeds of the Trust Preferred Capital Notes were used to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration to the former shareholders of Community First in connection with the Company's acquisition of that company, and for general corporate purposes. On July 1, 2011, in connection with the MidCarolina merger, the Company assumed $8,764,000 in junior subordinated debentures to MidCarolina Trust I and MidCarolina Trust II, two separate Delaware statutory trusts (the "MidCarolina Trusts"), to fully and unconditionally guarantee the preferred securities issued by the MidCarolina Trusts. These long-term obligations, which currently qualify as Tier 1 capital, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the MidCarolina Trusts' obligations. Neither the AMNB Trust I nor the MidCarolina Trusts were consolidated in the Company's financial statements.
In accordance with FASB ASC 810-10-15-14, the Company did not eliminate through consolidation the Company's $619,000 equity investment in AMNB Trust I or the $264,000 equity investment in the MidCarolina Trusts.  Instead, the Company reflected this equity investment in the "Accrued interest receivable and other assets" line item in the consolidated balance sheets.

The principal amounts reflected above for the MidCarolina Trusts (I and II) are net of fair value adjustments of $973,000 and $839,000, respectively at June 30, 2015. The original fair value adjustments of $1,197,000 and $1,021,000 were recorded as a result of the merger with MidCarolina on July 1, 2011, and are being amortized into interest expense over the remaining lives of the respective borrowings.
Note 10 – Stock Based Compensation 
 The Company's 2008 Stock Incentive Plan ("2008 Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 19, 2008, and approved by shareholders on April 22, 2008, at the Company's 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  The 2008 Plan provides for the granting of restricted stock awards and incentive and non-statutory options to employees and directors on a periodic basis, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or a Board designated committee.  The 2008 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of common stock. The 2008 Plan replaced the Company's stock option plan that was approved by the shareholders at the 1997 Annual Meeting. The prior stock option plan was terminated in 2006.

Replacement stock option awards representing 43,086 shares of the Company's common stock were granted in conjunction with the MainStreet acquisition.  The value of the consideration transferred with the replacement awards was not determined as of June 30, 2015; therefore, the amounts of the consideration transferred and goodwill recorded in connection with the merger will be adjusted for the value of the replacement awards in the third quarter of 2015.
The fair value of options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and expensed over the options' vesting period.  As of June 30, 2015, there was no unrecognized compensation expenses related to nonvested stock option grants.
Restricted Stock
The Company from time-to-time grants shares of restricted stock to key employees and non-employee directors.  These awards help align the interests of these employees and directors with the interests of the shareholders of the Company by providing economic value directly related to increases in the value of the Company's common stock.  The value of the stock awarded is established as the fair market value of the stock at the time of the grant.  The Company recognizes expense, equal to the total value of such awards, ratably over the vesting period of the stock grants. Restricted stock granted cliff vests over 24 to 36 months based on the term of the award. 
Nonvested restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is summarized in the following table.

Note 13 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Determination of Fair Value 
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the fair value measurements and disclosures topic of FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures", the fair value of an instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. 
The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
Fair Value Hierarchy 
In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its assets and liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1 –
Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 –
Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.
Level 3 –
Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.
 
The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:
Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2). If no observable market data is available, valuations are based upon third party model based techniques (Level 3).

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

30

Index

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

Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are carried at estimated fair value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, the Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale during the six month period ended June 30, 2015 or the year ended December 31, 2014. Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within mortgage banking income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Impaired loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements will not be collected.  In addition, the impairment of a loan may be measured using a present value of future cash flows analysis (Level 3). Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable.  The vast majority of the Company's collateral is real estate.  The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing a market valuation approach based on an appraisal, of one year or less, conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data (Level 2).  However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the property is more than one year old and not solely based on observable market comparables or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, then a Level 3 valuation is considered to measure the fair value.  The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal, of one year or less, if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business's financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data.  Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivable collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3).  Impaired loans allocated to the allowance for loan losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other real estate owned:  Measurement for fair values for other real estate owned are the same as real estate collateral discussed with impaired loans.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents.  The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

33

Index

Securities.  Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.
Loans held for sale.  The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Loans.  For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  Fair values for fixed-rate loans are estimated based upon discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
Bank owned life insurance. Bank owned life insurance represents insurance policies on officers, directors, and past directors of the Company.  The cash values of the policies are estimates using information provided by insurance carriers.  These policies are carried at their cash surrender value, which approximates the fair value.
Accrued interest receivable.  The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Deposits.  The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits, and money market deposits equals the carrying value. The fair value of fixed-rate certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar deposit instruments would be offered to depositors for the same remaining maturities.
Repurchase agreements.  The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Other borrowings.  The fair values of other borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the interest rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Trust preferred capital notes.  Fair value is calculated by discounting the future cash flows using the estimated current interest rates at which similar securities would be issued.
Accrued interest payable.  The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Off-balance sheet instruments.  The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.  At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of off-balance sheet instruments was deemed immaterial, and therefore was not included in the previous table.
The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that interest rates will change) in its normal operations.  As a result, the fair values of the Company's financial instruments will change when interest rates change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company.
Note 14 – Segment and Related Information
 
The Company has two reportable segments, (i) community banking and (ii) trust and investment services.
Community banking involves making loans to and generating deposits from individuals and businesses.  All assets and liabilities of the Company are allocated to community banking.  Investment income from securities is also allocated to the community banking segment.  Loan fee income, service charges from deposit accounts, and non-deposit fees such as automated teller machine fees and insurance commissions generate additional income for the community banking segment.
Trust and investment services include estate planning, trust account administration, investment management, and retail brokerage.  Investment management services include purchasing equity, fixed income, and mutual fund investments for customer accounts. The trust and investment services segment receives fees for investment and administrative services.
Amounts shown in the "Other" column includes activities of the Company which are primarily debt service on trust preferred securities and corporate items.  Intersegment eliminations primarily consist of the Company's investment in the Bank.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The purpose of this discussion is to focus on important factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.  The discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of American National Bankshares Inc. (the "Company') and its wholly owned subsidiary, American National Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank").  These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of management of the Company and on information available to management at the time these statements and disclosures were prepared.  Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, estimates, risks, and uncertainties that could cause actual conditions, events, or results to differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements.
A variety of factors, some of which are discussed in more detail in Item 1A – Risk Factors of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, may affect the operations, performance, business strategy, and results of the Company.  Those factors include but are not limited to the following:
Financial market volatility, including the level of interest rates could affect the values of financial instruments and the amount of net interest income earned;
General economic or business conditions, either nationally or in the market areas in which the Company does business, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in deteriorating credit quality, reduced demand for credit, or a weakened ability to generate deposits;
Competition among financial institutions may increase and competitors may have greater financial resources and develop products and technology that enable those competitors to compete more successfully than the Company;
Businesses that the Company is engaged in may be adversely affected by legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards;
The ability to retain key personnel;
The failure of assumptions underlying the allowance for loan losses; and
Risks associated with mergers and other acquisitions and other expansion activities.

Index

Reclassification
In certain circumstances, reclassifications have been made to prior period information to conform to the 2015 presentation.  There were no material reclassifications.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and they conform to general practices within the banking industry.  The Company's critical accounting policies, which are summarized below, relate to (1) the allowance for loan losses, (2) mergers and acquisitions, (3) acquired loans with specific credit-related deterioration and (4) goodwill impairment.  A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The financial information contained within the Company's financial statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred.  A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset, or relieving a liability.  In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The purpose of the allowance for loan losses ("ALLL") is to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses and by recoveries of previously charged-off loans.  Loan charge-offs decrease the allowance.
The goal of the Company is to maintain an appropriate, systematic, and consistently applied process to determine the amounts of the ALLL and the provision for loan loss expense.
The Company uses certain practices to manage its credit risk.  These practices include (1) appropriate lending limits for loan officers, (2) a loan approval process, (3) careful underwriting of loan requests, including analysis of borrowers, cash flows, collateral, and market risks, (4) regular monitoring of the portfolio, including diversification by type and geography, (5) review of loans by the Loan Review department, which operates independently of loan production, (6) regular meetings of the Credit Committee to discuss portfolio and policy changes and make decisions on large or unusual loan requests, and (7) regular meetings of the Asset Quality Committee which reviews the status of individual loans.
Risk grades are assigned as part of the loan origination process. From time to time, risk grades may be modified as warranted by the facts and circumstances surrounding the credit.
Calculation and analysis of the ALLL is prepared quarterly by the Finance Department.  The Company's Credit Committee, Capital Management Committee, Audit Committee, and the Board of Directors review the allowance for adequacy.
The Company's ALLL has two basic components:  the formula allowance and the specific allowance.  Each of these components is determined based upon estimates and judgments.
The formula allowance uses historical loss experience as an indicator of future losses, along with various qualitative factors, including levels and trends in delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, charge-offs and recoveries, trends in volume and terms of loans, effects of changes in underwriting standards, experience of lending staff, economic conditions, portfolio concentrations, regulatory, legal, competition, quality of loan review system, and value of underlying collateral. In the formula allowance for commercial and commercial real estate loans, the historical loss rate is combined with the qualitative factors, resulting in an adjusted loss factor for each risk-grade category of loans.  The period-end balances for each loan risk-grade category are multiplied by the adjusted loss factor.  Allowance calculations for residential real estate and consumer loans are calculated based on historical losses for each product category without regard to risk grade. This loss rate is combined with qualitative factors resulting in an adjusted loss factor for each product category.
The specific allowance uses various techniques to arrive at an estimate of loss for specifically identified impaired loans. These include:
The present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate.  The effective interest rate on a loan is the rate of return implicit in the loan (that is, the contractual interest rate adjusted for any net deferred loan fees or costs and any premium or discount existing at the origination or acquisition of the loan);
The loan's observable market price, or

39

Index

The fair value of the collateral, net of estimated costs to dispose, if the loan is collateral dependent. The use of these computed values is inherently subjective and actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates.
No single statistic, formula, or measurement determines the adequacy of the allowance.  Management makes subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, and different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.  For analytical purposes, management allocates a portion of the allowance to specific loan categories and specific loans.  However, the entire allowance is used to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, including identified and unidentified losses.
The relationships and ratios used in calculating the allowance, including the qualitative factors, may change from period to period as facts and circumstances evolve.  Furthermore, management cannot provide assurance that in any particular period the Bank will not have sizeable credit losses in relation to the amount reserved.  Management may find it necessary to significantly adjust the allowance, considering current factors at the time.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Business combinations are accounted for under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date measured at their fair values as of that date. To determine the fair values, the Company will rely on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation techniques. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company will identify the acquirer and the closing date and apply applicable recognition principles and conditions.
Acquisition-related costs are costs the Company incurs to effect a business combination. Those costs include advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees. Some other examples of costs to the Company include systems conversions, integration planning consultants and advertising costs. The Company will account for acquisition-related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received, with one exception. The costs to issue debt or equity securities will be recognized in accordance with other applicable GAAP. These acquisition-related costs have been and will be included within the Consolidated Statements of Income classified within the noninterest expense caption.

Acquired Loans with Specific Credit-Related Deterioration
Acquired loans with specific credit deterioration are accounted for by the Company in accordance with FASB ASC 310-30, Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. Certain acquired loans, those for which specific credit-related deterioration, since origination, is identified, are recorded at fair value reflecting the present value of the amounts expected to be collected. Income recognition on these loans is based on a reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of cash flows to be collected. Acquired loans deemed impaired and considered collateral dependent, with the timing of the sale of loan collateral indeterminate, remain on non-accrual status and have no accretable yield.

Goodwill Impairment
The Company performs its annual analysis as of June 30 each fiscal year. Accounting guidance permits preliminary assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether more substantial impairment testing is required. The Company chose to bypass the preliminary assessment and utilized a two-step process for impairment testing of goodwill. The first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures the impairment.  No indicators of impairment were identified during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012.

ACQUISITION OF MAINSTREET BANKSHARES, INC.
On January 1, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of MainStreet. The merger of MainStreet with and into the Company was effected pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of August 24, 2014, between the Company and MainStreet, and a related Plan of Merger. Immediately after the merger of MainStreet into the Company, Franklin Community Bank, N.A., MainStreet's wholly-owned bank subsidiary, merged with and into the Bank.
Pursuant to the MainStreet merger agreement, the former holders of shares of MainStreet common stock received $3.46 in cash and 0.482 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of MainStreet common stock held immediately prior to the effective date of the merger, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. Each option to purchase shares of MainStreet common stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger vested upon the merger and was converted into an option to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, adjusted based on a 0.643 exchange ratio. Each share of the Company's common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger remained outstanding and was unaffected by the merger. The cash portion of the merger consideration was funded through a cash dividend of $6,000,000 from the Bank to the Company, and no borrowing was incurred by the Company or the Bank in connection with the merger.
MainStreet was the holding company for Franklin Community Bank, N.A.  As of January 1, 2015, MainStreet had net loans of approximately $121,000,000, total assets of approximately $165,000,000, and total deposits of approximately $137,000,000. Franklin Community Bank, N.A. provided banking services to its customers from three banking offices located in Rocky Mount, Hardy, and Union Hall, Virginia, which are now branch offices of the Bank.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and other funding sources.  Fluctuations in interest rates as well as volume and mix changes in earning assets and interest bearing liabilities can materially impact net interest income.  The following discussion of net interest income is presented on a taxable equivalent basis to facilitate performance comparisons among various taxable and tax-exempt assets, such as certain state and municipal securities.  A tax rate of 35% was used in adjusting interest on tax-exempt assets to a fully taxable equivalent basis.  Net interest income divided by average earning assets is referred to as the net interest margin. The net interest spread represents the difference between the average rate earned on earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

Index

Three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis increased $2,020,000 or 18.6%, for the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter of 2014.  This change was mostly driven by an increase in average earning assets of $213,889,000 or 18.1%, primarily related to the acquisition of MainStreet.
For the second quarter of 2015, the Company's yield on interest-earning assets was 4.11%, compared to 4.16% for the second quarter of 2014.  The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.56% compared to 0.64%, mostly related to an eight basis point decline in the cost of time deposits. The interest rate spread was 3.55% compared to 3.52%.  The net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.69% compared to 3.68%, an increase of one basis point (0.01%).
Net interest income for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014 was positively impacted by acquisition related accretion income. For the second quarter of 2015 acquisition related accretion income was $844,000 or 6.8% of total net interest income. For the second quarter of 2014 acquisition related accretion income was $604,000 of 5.8% of net interest income. The increase was primarily related to the January 2015 acquisition of MainStreet.
The following presentation is an analysis of net interest income and related yields and rates, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.  Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances. Interest income on nonaccrual loans, if recognized, is recorded on a cash basis or when the loan returns to accrual status.

Six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis increased $3,903,000 or 17.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014.  This change was mostly driven by an increase in average earning assets of $205,000,000 or 17.3%, primarily related to the acquisition of MainStreet.
For the first six months of 2015, the Company's yield on interest-earning assets was 4.13%, compared to 4.19% for the same period of 2014.  The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.57% compared to 0.65%, mostly related to a ten basis point decline in the cost of time deposits. The interest rate spread was 3.56% compared to 3.54%.  The net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.71% compared to 3.69%, an increase of two basis points (0.02%).
Net interest income for the first six months of 2015 and 2014 was positively impacted by acquisition related accretion income. For the 2015 period acquisition related accretion income was $1,957,000 or 7.9% of total net interest income. For the 2014 period acquisition related accretion income was $1,500,000 of 7.2% of net interest income. The increase was primarily related to the January 2015 acquisition of MainStreet.

Trust income was virtually unchanged for the 2015 quarter compared to the 2014 quarter, mostly related to changes in the equity market. Trust income was not immediately impacted by the MainStreet acquisition. Mortgage banking income was significantly higher in the 2015 quarter, based on greater loan demand volume in existing markets and the impact of the acquisition. Securities gains also increased significantly, though this was related to the Company's decision to sell municipal bonds located in several states facing potentially serious fiscal issues, notably Illinois and New Jersey.

Noninterest Income, six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Trust income decreased for the 2015 period compared to the 2014 period, mostly related to the 2014 recognition of a one time estate fee revenue of approximately $110,000. Trust income was not immediately impacted by the MainStreet acquisition. Mortgage banking income was higher in the 2015 period, based on greater loan demand volume in existing markets and the impact of the acquisition. Securities gains also increased significantly, though this was related to the Company's decision to sell municipal bonds located in several states facing potentially serious fiscal issues, notably Illinois and New Jersey. The Company also selectively reduced its municipal bond concentration in Texas, as a result of the decline in the price of oil.

Salaries expense for the 2015 quarter increased $670,000 or 18.4% compared to the 2014 quarter. Of this increase, $359,000 or 53.6% is related to the MainStreet acquisition, now the Company's Franklin County region, with the remainder normal, annual increases. Management expects a lower level of salaries expense for the Franklin County region for the remainder of 2015. This expectation is related to the operational conversion for MainStreet, completed in mid-May and a resulting decrease in full time equivalent ("FTE") employees. The Company's current total FTE employee level is 322 compared to 291 at year end. Employee benefits increased $264,000 or 31.2%. Benefits were impacted by the acquisition and also increased health care and pension settlement expense. Data processing expense increased $138,000 or 40.0%.  This was related to increased usage of the Company's core information management system, but also a delay in the operational conversion for MainStreet from March to May. Nonrecurring MainStreet acquisition related expenses were $1,502,000. There were no comparable expenses in 2014. This category represents 45.8% of the total increase in noninterest expense between 2015 and 2014. The efficiency ratio for the 2015 quarter was 72.76% compared to 62.87% for the 2014 quarter. The efficiency ratio was negatively impacted by the nonrecurring merger related costs. The Company expects significant improvement in this ratio in coming quarters.

Salaries expense for the 2015 period increased $1,279,000 or 17.8% compared to the 2014 period. Of this increase, $783,000 or 61.2% is related to the MainStreet acquisition, now the Company's Franklin County region, with the remainder normal, annual increases. Management expects a lower level of salaries expense for the Franklin County region for the remainder of 2015. This expectation is related to the operational conversion for MainStreet, completed in mid-May and a resulting decrease in FTE employees. Data processing expense increased $252,000 or 36.4%.  This was related to increased usage of the Company's core information management system, but also a delay in the operational conversion for MainStreet from March to May. Nonrecurring MainStreet acquisition related expenses were $1,861,000. There were no comparable expenses in 2014. This category represents 38% of the total increase in noninterest expense between 2015 and 2014.

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2015 was 26.1% compared to 28.7% for 2014. The effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate of 35% due to income that is not taxable for federal income tax purposes.  The primary non-taxable income is that of state and municipal securities and loans. The decrease in the effective tax rate of 2.6% is related to a lower level of income before tax, and a $74,000 expense adjustment to North Carolina income tax in 2014 related to tax year 2013.
The effective tax rate for the six month period of 2015 was 27.2% compared to 27.6% for the same period of 2014.

Generally accepted accounting principles for business combinations require the acquired balance sheet be valued at fair value at the time of the merger. In the context of acquiring a commercial bank, most of the balance sheet is interest rate sensitive and this can generate significant discounts or premiums to contractual values.  These discounts or premiums will have potentially significant impact to net interest income and to net income.
The table below summarizes the impact to net interest income and total pretax income of the MidCarolina ("MC") and MainStreet ("MS") acquisitions for the quarter and six month periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

       The MidCarolina acquisition was closed in July 2011.  The MainStreet acquisition was closed in January 2015. Management expects that the fair value accounting financial impact of both acquisitions will continue to decline in subsequent quarters.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The majority of assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature and therefore differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories.  The most significant effect of inflation is on noninterest expense, which tends to rise during periods of inflation.  Changes in interest rates have a greater impact on a financial institution's profitability than do the effects of higher costs for goods and services.  Through its balance sheet management practices, the Company has the ability to react to those changes and measure and monitor its interest rate and liquidity risk.  During the reported periods, inflation and interest rates have been low.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Securities
The securities portfolio generates income, plays a major role in the management of interest rate sensitivity, provides a source of liquidity, is used to meet collateral requirements for public deposits, and facilitates commercial customers' repurchase agreements.  The portfolio consists primarily of high credit quality, very liquid securities.  Federal agency and U. S. government sponsored enterprises, mortgage-backed securities, state and municipal securities, and corporates comprise the portfolio.

54

Index

The available for sale securities portfolio was $355,595,000 at June 30, 2015, compared to $344,716,000 at December 31, 2014, an increase of $10,879,000 or 3.2%.  The Company acquired $18,800,000 in securities in the MainStreet acquisition. However, the impact of that increase was mitigated by a combination of calls, sales, and maturities in the existing portfolio. At June 30, 2015, the available for sale portfolio had an amortized cost of $348,543,000, resulting in a net unrealized gain of $7,052,000.  At December 31, 2014, the available for sale portfolio had an amortized cost of $335,723,000, resulting in a net unrealized gain of $8,993,000.
The Company is aware of the relatively low, acutely uncertain current interest rate environment and has elected to maintain an investment strategy of purchasing high quality taxable securities of relatively short duration and longer term high quality, tax exempt securities, whose market values are not as volatile in rising rate environments as similarly termed taxable investments. The Company manages its investment portfolio on an aggregate portfolio basis for purposes of monitoring average life and duration. Accordingly, some individual purchases may fall outside these overall guidelines. The Company will continue to deploy its cash to the maximum extent practical and prudent, consistent with its liquidity and asset liability strategy.
Loans
The loan portfolio consists primarily of commercial and residential real estate loans, commercial loans to small and medium-sized businesses, construction and land development loans, and home equity loans.
Total loans were $982,905,000 at June 30, 2015, compared to $840,925,000 at December 31, 2014, an increase of $141,980,000 or 16.9%. Of this increase, $108,326,000 or 63.8% relates directly to the merger with MainStreet. The remainder of the increase, $33,654,000, represents 2015 organic growth of 4.0%.
Loans held for sale totaled $2,720,000 at June 30, 2015 and $616,000 at December 31, 2014, an increase of $2,104,000 or 341.6%.  This increase reflects an increased level of mortgage volume compared to year end. Secondary mortgage loan volume was up 17.5% for the six month period in 2015 compared to the same period last year.
Management of the loan portfolio is organized around segments. Each segment is comprised of various loan types that are reflective of operational and regulatory management and reporting requirements. The following table presents the Company's loan portfolio by segment as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

Provision for Loan Losses
Provision for loan losses was $700,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, compared to $150,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2014.
The need for additional provision expense was impacted by positive organic growth trends over the past several quarters, improving economic conditions, continuing strong asset quality metrics, and the regular quarterly review of cash flow expectations related to acquired loans with deteriorated credit quality.
Allowance for Loan Losses ("ALLL")
The purpose of the ALLL is to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses and by recoveries of previously charged-off loans. Loan charge-offs decrease the allowance.
At June 30, 2015, the ALLL was $12,793,000 compared to $12,427,000 at December 31, 2014. The ALLL as a percentage of total loans was 1.30% and 1.48%, respectively.  The decrease in the allowance as a percentage of loans was significantly

55

Index

impacted by the January 2015 merger with MainStreet. The acquired loan portfolio from MainStreet was marked to fair value and no allowance for loan losses was included in the merger transaction.
As part of the Company's methodology to evaluate the adequacy of its ALLL, the Company computes its ASC 450 loan balance by reducing total loans by acquired loans and loans that were evaluated for impairment individually or smaller balance nonaccrual loans evaluated for impairment in homogeneous pools. The  ASC 450 loan loss reserve balance is the total ALLL reduced by allowances associated with these other pools of loans.
The general allowance, ASC 450 (FAS 5) reserves to FASB ASC 450 loans, was 1.47% at June 30, 2015, compared to 1.55% at December 31, 2014. On a dollar basis, the reserve was $11,832,000 at June 30, 2015, compared to $11,716,000 at December 31, 2014. The percentage of the reserve to total loans has declined due to improving local economic conditions, improving asset quality, and increased loan growth. This segment of the allowance represents by far the largest portion of the loan portfolio and the largest aggregate risk.
The specific allowance, ASC 310-40 (FAS 114) reserves to FASB ASC 310-40 loans, was 0.88% at June 30, 2015, compared to 3.64% at December 31, 2014. On a dollar basis, the reserve was $32,000 at June 30, 2015, compared to $165,000 at December 31, 2014. The decrease in the dollar amount of the reserve was related to changes in characteristics of loans reviewed individually for impairment. There is ongoing turnover in the composition of the impaired loan population, which decreased by a net $882,000 over December 31, 2014. During the second quarter of 2015, one nonaccrual credit in the amount of $1,136,000 was sold resulting in a $186,000 charge off. Newly evaluated impaired loans did not have an impact on the overall impairment allowance.

Index

The specific allowance does not include reserves related to acquired loans with deteriorated credit quality. This reserve was $929,000 at June 30, 2015 compared to $546,000 at December 31, 2014. This is the only portion of the reserve related to acquired loans. Cash flow expectations for these loans are reviewed on a quarterly basis and unfavorable changes in those estimates relative to the initial estimates can result in the need for loan loss provision. The increase in this impairment for the current period is related to the extended timing of expected cash flows, resulting from renewals, on some larger loans in this portfolio.

The allowance to loans and the allowance to nonperforming loans were negatively impacted by the acquisition of $114,902,000 in acquired loans from the January 2015 MainStreet acquisition. These loans were marked to fair value at the merger date and their related allowance for loan loss was eliminated.
Nonperforming Assets (Loans and Other Real Estate Owned)
Nonperforming loans include loans on which interest is no longer accrued and accruing loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more. Nonperforming loans include loans originated and loans acquired.
Nonperforming loans to total loans were 0.38% at June 30, 2015 and 0.49% at December 31, 2014.
Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans and OREO.  Nonperforming assets represented 0.39% of total assets at June 30, 2015, down from 0.46% at December 31, 2014.  This decrease was related to the decrease in nonperforming loans.
In most cases, it is the policy of the Company that any loan that becomes 90 days past due will automatically be placed on nonaccrual loan status, accrued interest reversed out of income, and further interest accrual ceased. Any payments received on such loans will be credited to principal. In some cases a loan in process of renewal may become 90 days past due. In these instances the loan may still be accruing because of a delayed renewal process in which the customer has not been billed. Loans will only be restored to full accrual status after nine consecutive months of payments that were each less than 30 days delinquent.
The $3,772,000 in nonaccrual loans shown on the following table includes: $1,537,000 in impaired loans individually evaluated for impairment; $794,000 in nonaccrual loan pools of smaller balance, homogenous loans, which were collectively evaluated for impairment (based on their collateral position and an improving payment history that still warrants nonaccrual status under internal policy guidelines, these loans were considered to have no dollar impairment); and $1,441,000 in loans with deteriorated credit quality acquired from both the MainStreet and MidCarolina mergers.

Impaired Loans
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The following table shows loans that were considered impaired, exclusive of acquired impaired loans as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned was $2,113,000 and $2,119,000 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Other real estate owned is initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, at the date of foreclosure. Loan losses resulting from foreclosure are charged against the ALLL at that time. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value, less estimated costs to sell with any additional write-downs charged against earnings.  For significant assets, these valuations are typically outside annual appraisals.

Deposits
The Company's deposits consist primarily of checking, money market, savings, and consumer time deposits.  Total deposits were $1,234,018,000 at June 30, 2015 compared to $1,075,837,000 at December 31, 2014, an increase of $158,181,000 or 14.7%. Of the increase, $125,320,000 or 79.2% was directly related to the MainStreet merger.
The Company's primary focus on the liability side of the balance sheet is growing core deposits and their affiliated relationships. The challenge in this ongoing low rate environment is to fund the Bank in a cost effective and competitive manner. The Company's cost of deposits for the second quarter of 2015 was 0.50%, down from 0.57% for the second quarter of 2014.
Shareholders' Equity
The Company's capital management strategy is to be classified as "well capitalized" under regulatory capital ratios and provide as high as possible total return to shareholders.
Shareholders' equity was $194,883,000 at June 30, 2015 compared to $173,780,000 at December 31, 2014, an increase of $21,103,000 or 12.1%.  In connection with the MainStreet merger, the Company issued 825,586 shares of common stock with a market value at January 1, 2015 of $20,483,000, accounting for 97.1% of the change in equity.
The Company paid cash dividends of $0.46 per share during the first six months of 2015 while the aggregate basic and diluted earnings per share for the same period was $0.73 per share.
In July 2013, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued final rules that make technical changes to its capital rules to align them with the Basel III regulatory capital framework and meet certain requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rules maintain the general structure of the prompt corrective action framework in effect at such time while incorporating certain increased minimum requirements.  Effective January 1, 2015, the final rules require the Company and the Bank to comply with the following minimum capital ratios: (i) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% of risk-weighted assets (increased from the prior requirement of 4.0%); (iii) a total capital ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets (unchanged from the prior requirement); and (iv) a leverage ratio of 4.0% of total assets (unchanged from the prior requirement). These are the initial capital requirements, which will be phased in over a four-year period. When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the rules will require the Company and the Bank to maintain such minimum ratios plus a 2.5% "capital conservation buffer" (other than for the leverage ratio). The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016, at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets, increasing by the same amount each year until fully implemented at 2.5% on January 1, 2019. Management believes the Company and the Bank will be compliant with the fully phased-in requirements when they become effective January 1, 2019.

Stock Repurchase Plan

In years prior to 2014 the Company had, in the normal course of business, operated certain stock repurchase programs. Authority to repurchase shares under these programs had been expired for some time. On April 17, 2014, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC to announce the approval by its Board of Directors of a stock repurchase program. The plan authorizes the repurchase of up to 250,000 shares of the Company's common shares over a two year period. The share purchase limit was equal to approximately 3% of the 7,900,000 shares then outstanding at the time the Board approved the program.

In the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company repurchased 51,982 shares at an average cost of $22.61 per share, for a total cost of $1,175,000. During the same period in 2014, the Company repurchased 69,784 shares at an average cost of $21.49 per share, for a total cost of $1,500,000.

Liquidity
Liquidity is the ability of the Company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities in a timely manner.  Liquidity management involves maintaining the Company's ability to meet the daily cash flow requirements of its customers, whether they are borrowers requiring funds or depositors desiring to withdraw funds.  Additionally, the Company requires cash for various operating needs including dividends to shareholders, the servicing of debt, and the payment of general corporate expenses.  The Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through policies approved by the Asset Liability Committee ("ALCO") and Board of Directors, both of which receive periodic reports of the Company's interest rate risk and liquidity position.  The Company uses a computer simulation model to assist in the management of the future liquidity needs of the Company. 
Liquidity sources include on balance sheet and off balance sheet sources.
Balance sheet liquidity sources include cash, amounts due from banks, loan repayments, and increases in deposits. The Company also maintains a large, high quality, very liquid bond portfolio, which is generally 50% to 60% unpledged and would, accordingly, be available for sale if necessary.     
Off balance sheet sources include lines of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB"), federal funds lines of credit, and access to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's discount window. 
The Company has a line of credit with the FHLB, equal to 30% of the Bank's assets, subject to the amount of collateral pledged.  Under the terms of its collateral agreement with the FHLB, the Company provides a blanket lien covering all of its residential first mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit.  In addition, the Company pledges as collateral its capital stock in and deposits with the FHLB.  At June 30, 2015, principal advance obligations to the FHLB consisted of $9,947,000 in fixed-rate, long-term advances compared to $9,935,000 in fixed-rate, long term advances at December 31, 2014.  The Company also had outstanding $70,700,000 in letters of credit at June 30, 2015 and at December 31, 2014. The letters of credit provide the Bank with alternate collateral for securing public entity deposits above FDIC insurance levels, thereby providing less need for collateral pledging from the securities portfolio, and thereby maximizing on balance sheet liquidity.

61

Index

Short-term borrowings are discussed in Note 7 and long-term borrowings are discussed in Note 8 in the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
The Company has federal funds lines of credit established with two correspondent banks in the amounts of $15,000,000 each, and has access to the Federal Reserve Bank's discount window.  There were no amounts outstanding under these facilities at June 30, 2015.
The Company has a relationship with Promontory Network, the sponsoring entity for the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service® ("CDARS"). Through CDARS, the Company is able to provide deposit customers with access to aggregate FDIC insurance in amounts exceeding $250,000.  This gives the Company the ability, as and when needed, to attract and retain large deposits from insurance conscious customers.  CDARS are classified as brokered deposits, however they are generally derived from customers with whom the Company has or wishes to have a direct and ongoing relationship.  As a result, management considers these deposits functionally, though not technically, core deposits. With CDARS, the Company has the option to keep deposits on balance sheet or sell them to other members of the network.  Additionally, subject to certain limits, the Bank can use CDARS to purchase cost-effective funding without collateralization and in lieu of generating funds through traditional brokered CDs or the FHLB.  In this manner, CDARS can provide the Company with another funding option. Thus, CDARS serves as a deposit-gathering tool and an additional liquidity management tool.  Deposits through the CDARS program as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, were $24,505,000 and $22,255,000, respectively.
Management believes that these sources provide sufficient and timely liquidity, both on and off the balance sheet.
Off-Balance Sheet Activities
The Company enters into certain financial transactions in the ordinary course of performing traditional banking services that result in off-balance sheet transactions.  Other than subsidiaries to issue trust preferred securities, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet subsidiaries.  Off-balance sheet transactions at June 30, 2015 and at December 31, 2014 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
 
June 30, 2015
 
December 31, 2014

$
190,413

Mortgage loan rate-lock commitments
8,168

 
3,372

At the date of the merger with MainStreet, there were off-balance sheet transactions in the amount of $20,467,000 acquired.
Commitments to extend credit to customers represent legally binding agreements with fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being funded, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements.  Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company guaranteeing the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk Management

Effectively managing market risk is essential to achieving the Company's financial objectives.  Market risk reflects the risk of economic loss resulting from changes in interest rates and market prices.  The Company is generally not subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk.  The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk; however, market risk also includes liquidity risk.  Both are discussed in the following sections.

Interest Rate Risk Management
Interest rate risk and its impact on net interest income is a primary market risk exposure.  The Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through policies approved by its ALCO and Board of Directors, both of which receive and review periodic reports of the Company's interest rate risk position.

62

Index

The Company uses computer simulation analysis to measure the sensitivity of projected earnings to changes in interest rates.  Simulation takes into account current balance sheet volumes and the scheduled repricing dates instrument level optionality, and maturities of assets and liabilities.  It incorporates numerous assumptions including growth, changes in the mix of assets and liabilities, prepayments, and average rates earned and paid.  Based on this information, management uses the model to project net interest income under multiple interest rate scenarios.

A balance sheet is considered asset sensitive when its earning assets (loans and securities) reprice faster or to a greater extent than its liabilities (deposits and borrowings).  An asset sensitive balance sheet will produce relatively more net interest income when interest rates rise and less net interest income when they decline.  Based on the Company's simulation analysis, management believes the Company's interest sensitivity position at June 30, 2015 is asset sensitive.  Management has no expectation that market interest rates will materially decline in the near term, given the prevailing economy and apparent policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Earnings Simulation

The following tables shows the estimated impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income as of June 30, 2015 assuming instantaneous rate shocks, and consistent levels of assets and liabilities.  Net interest income for the following twelve months is projected to increase when interest rates are higher than current rates (dollars in thousands):

Management cannot predict future interest rates or their exact effect on net interest income.  Computations of future effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.  Certain limitations are inherent in such computations.  Assets and liabilities may react differently than projected to changes in market interest rates.  The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag changes in market interest rates.  Interest rate shifts may not be parallel.
Changes in interest rates can cause substantial changes in the amount of prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities, which may in turn affect the Company's interest rate sensitivity position.  Additionally, credit risk may rise if an interest rate increase adversely affects the ability of borrowers to service their debt.
Economic Value Simulation
Economic value simulation is used to calculate the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities over different interest rate environments. Economic values are calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis. The net economic value of equity is the economic value of all assets minus the economic value of all liabilities. The change in net economic value over different rate environments is an indication of the longer-term earnings capability of the balance sheet. The same assumptions are used in the economic value simulation as in the earnings simulation. The economic value simulation uses instantaneous rate shocks to the balance sheet.

Increases in interest rates over the past two quarters have had a negative impact on the economic value of the Company's assets. However, this has been more than offset by the positive impact the rate increases have had on the economic value of the Company's liabilities.
Due to the current low interest rate environment, no measurement was considered necessary for a further decline in interest rates. There have been no material changes to market risk as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.  Refer to those disclosures for further information.
