Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc. (Financial or the Company) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In managements opinion the accompanying financial statements, which unless otherwise noted are unaudited, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Additional information concerning the organization and business of Financial, accounting policies followed, and other related information is contained in Financials Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in Financials Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.
Financials critical accounting policy relates to the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses which is based on managements opinion of an amount that is adequate to absorb loss in the existing loan portfolio of Bank of the James (the Bank), Financials wholly-owned subsidiary. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan loss based on available information including the composition of the loan portfolio, historical loan losses (to the extent available due to limited history), specific impaired loans, availability and quality of collateral, age of the various portfolios, changes in local economic conditions, and loan performance and quality of the portfolio. Different assumptions used in evaluating the adequacy of the Banks allowance for loan losses could result in material changes in Financials financial condition and results of operations. The Banks policies with respect to the methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about uncertain matters. These critical policies and their assumptions are periodically reviewed with the Board of Directors.
Note 2 Use of Estimates
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 3 Earnings Per Share
All earnings per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the 10% stock dividend paid by Financial in July 2010, the 5% stock dividend paid by Financial in July 2009, as well as all prior stock dividends.
Currently, only the option shares granted to certain officers and other employees of Financial pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan of 1999 Financial (the 1999 Plan) are considered dilutive. The following is a summary of the earnings per share calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

For the three month and nine months ended September 30, 2010 there were 205,548 option shares that had an exercise price higher than the market price on September 30, 2010. These shares were not included in calculating the diluted earnings per because their effect was anti-dilutive. Because there was a net loss in the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2009, no option shares were included in calculating the diluted earnings per share.
Note 4 Stock Based Compensation
Accounting standards require companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant.
The amount of stock-based compensation included within the non-interest expense category for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 is $0 and $2,000, respectively, which had no material impact on basic and diluted earnings per share for the same periods.
Stock option plan activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is summarized below:

Table of Contents
Intrinsic value is calculated by subtracting exercise price of option shares from the market price of underlying shares and multiplying that amount by the number of options outstanding. No intrinsic value exists where the exercise price is less than the market price on a given date.
As of September 30, 2010 all compensation expense related to the foregoing stock option plan has been recognized. The Companys ability to grant additional options shares under the 1999 Plan has expired.
Note 5 Stock Dividend
On May 18, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a 10% stock dividend. The stock dividend was paid on July 23, 2010 to shareholders of record as of June 21, 2010. Following the stock dividend, the number of outstanding shares increased by approximately 299,000. The dividend required a reclassification of retained earnings effective May 18, 2010 in the amount of $2,551,000. Of this amount, $640,000 was reclassified as common stock and $1,911,000 was reclassified as additional paid-in-capital. The reclassification did not change total stockholders equity. All per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this dividend.
Note 6 Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
| Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:
Securities
Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Currently, all of the Companys securities are considered to be Level 2 securities.

Loans held for sale
Loans held for sale are required to be measured in a lower of cost or fair value. Under ASC 820, market value is to represent fair value. Management obtains quotes or bids on all or part of these loans directly from the purchasing financial institutions. Premiums received or to be received on the quotes or bids are indicative of the fact that cost is lower than fair value. At September 30, 2010, the Company had no loans held for sale.
Impaired loans
ASC 820 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by ASC 310 Impairment of a Loan, including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loans collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loans collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral.
All impaired loans are classified as Level 3 unless an appraisal has been obtained within the previous twelve months, in which case they are classified as Level 2.
Other Real Estate Owned
Certain assets such as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value less cost to sell. We believe that the fair value component in its valuation follows the provisions of ASC 820.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Banks entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Banks financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets that are not considered financial assets include deferred income taxes and bank premises and equipment; a significant liability that is not considered a financial liability is accrued post-retirement benefits. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.
Financial assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of Financials financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change, and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Bank. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment.

Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Banks overall interest rate risk.
Note 7 Capital Notes
Financial has issued capital notes in the amount $7,000,000 (the Notes). The Notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per year with interest payable quarterly in arrears. The first quarterly interest payment on the Notes was paid on July 1, 2009. No principal payments are due until the Notes mature on April 1, 2012. On the maturity date the principal and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes will be due and payable

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and may do so more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) the intent of Financial, if any, to sell the security; (4) whether Financial more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost; and (5) whether Financial does not expect to recover the securitys entire amortized cost basis (even if Financial does not intend to sell the security).
At September 30, 2010, the Company did not consider the unrealized losses as other-than-temporary losses due to the nature of the securities involved. As of September 30, 2010, the Bank owned 10 securities that were being evaluated for other than temporary impairment. 6 of these securities were S&P rated AAA, 3 were S&P rated AA, and 1 was S&P rated A. As of September 30, 2010, 6 of these securities were obligations of government sponsored entities, 3 were municipal bank-qualified issues, and 1 was issued by a publicly traded United States corporation. The securities issued by publicly traded corporations are classified as Other in the tables set forth above.
Based on the analysis performed by management as mandated by the Banks investment policy, management believes the default risk to be minimal. Because the Bank expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis, no declines currently are deemed to be other-than-temporary.
Note 9 Subsequent Event
In preparing these financial statements, Financial has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
Note 10 Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Table of Contents
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-16. The new standard provides guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that an entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferors continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. ASU 2009-16 was effective for transfers on or after January 1, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to variable interest entities. The new guidance, which was issued as SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), was adopted into Codification in December 2009. The objective of the guidance is to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. SFAS No. 167 was effective as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing.

ASU 2009-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-04, Accounting for Various Topics Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs. ASU 2010-04 makes technical corrections to existing SEC guidance including the following topics: accounting for subsequent investments, termination of an interest rate swap, issuance of financial statements - subsequent events, use of residual method to value acquired assets other than goodwill, adjustments in assets and liabilities for holding gains and losses, and selections of discount rate used for measuring defined benefit obligation. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.

Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. ASU 2010-09 addresses both the interaction of the requirements of Topic 855 with the SECs reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosures provisions related to subsequent events. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. ASU 2010-09 is effective immediately. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.

GENERAL
Critical Accounting Policies
Bank of the James Financial Group, Inc.s (Financial) financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss ratios as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use in estimating risk. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.
The allowance for loan losses is managements estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) ASC 450 Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and are reasonably estimable and (ii) ASC 310 Impairment of a Loan, which requires that losses on impaired loans be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. Guidelines for determining allowances for loan losses are also provided in the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 102 Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues and the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Councils interagency guidance, Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the FFIEC Policy Statement). See Management Discussion and Analysis Results of Operations Allowance for Loan Losses and Loan Loss Reserve below for further discussion of the allowance for loan losses.
Overview
Financial is a bank holding company with its headquarters in Lynchburg, Virginia. Financial was incorporated at the direction of Bank of the James (the Bank) on October 3, 2003 to serve as a bank holding company of the Bank. Financial had no business until January 1, 2004 when it acquired the common stock of the Bank through a statutory share exchange on a one-for-one basis. The Bank, through its BOTJ Investment Services Division, offers brokerage, fixed and variable annuity products, and related services to the public through a third-party broker-dealer and, through its BOTJ Mortgage Division, originates residential mortgages. The Bank also wholly-owns BOTJ Insurance, Inc. (BOTJ Insurance) through which we act as an agent for insurance and annuity products. In addition, Financial owns BOTJ Investment Group, Inc. The Bank (and BOTJ Insurance) and BOTJ Investment Group, Inc. are our only subsidiaries and primary assets. Financial conducts its business through the following lines: community banking through the Bank, insurance agency services through BOTJ Insurance, mortgage origination through the Mortgage Division of the Bank, and securities brokerage services through the Investment Services Division of the Bank.
Financial declared a 10% stock dividend on May 18, 2010 which was paid on July 23, 2010 to shareholders of record on June 21, 2010.
The Bank is a Virginia banking corporation headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia. The Bank was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as a state chartered bank in 1998 and began banking operations in July 1999. The Bank was organized to engage in general retail and commercial banking business. The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution that provides varied banking services to individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, and professional concerns in the Central Virginia, Region 2000 area, which encompasses the seven jurisdictions of the Town of Altavista, Amherst County, Appomattox County, the City of Bedford, Bedford County, Campbell

Table of Contents
County, and the City of Lynchburg. The Bank strives to provide its customers with products comparable to statewide regional banks located in its market area, while maintaining the prompt response time and level of service of a community bank. Management believes this operating strategy has particular appeal in the Banks market area.
The Banks principal office is located at 828 Main Street, Lynchburg, Virginia 24504 and its telephone number is (434) 846-2000. The Bank also maintains a website at www.bankofthejames.com.
In April 2006, we began providing securities brokerage services to Bank customers and others through BOTJ Investment Group, Inc. Since March 2010 we have been providing those services through the Investment Services Division of the Bank. The Investment Services Division provides the services through an agreement with a third party, registered broker-dealer. Under this agreement, the broker-dealer may operate service centers in one or more branches of the Bank, which centers are staffed by at least one dual employee of the Bank and the broker-dealer. As of the date hereof, the Investment Services Divisions only center is located in the Church Street office. The Bank receives commissions on transactions generated and in some cases ongoing management fees such as mutual fund 12b-1 fees. As of the date hereof, we have been providing these services and conducting business for approximately four years and the financial impact on the consolidated financials of the Company has been minimal.
BOTJ Insurance was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 2008. In September 2008, BOTJ Insurance began offering its services to the public from space in the Main Street Branch. Currently BOTJ Insurance is a stand-alone agency with no employees.
Our operating results depend primarily upon the Banks net interest income, which is determined by the difference between (i) interest and dividend income on earning assets, which consist primarily of loans, investment securities and other investments, and (ii) interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which consist principally of deposits and other borrowings. The Banks net income also is affected by its provision for loan losses, as well as the level of its non-interest income, including loan fees and service charges, and its non-interest expenses, including salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense, data processing expenses, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums, expense in complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, miscellaneous other expenses, franchise taxes, and income taxes.
The Bank intends to enhance its profitability by increasing its market share in the Region 2000 area, providing additional services to its customers, and controlling costs.
The Bank now services its banking customers through the following nine full service branch locations in the Region 2000 area.
| The main office located at 828 Main Street in Lynchburg (opened October 2004) (the Main Street Office), |
| A branch located at 615 Church Street in Lynchburg (opened July 1999) (the Church Street Branch), |
| A branch located at 5204 Fort Avenue in Lynchburg (opened November 2000) (the Fort Avenue Branch), |
| A branch located on South Amherst Highway in Amherst County (opened June 2002) (the Madison Heights Branch), |
| A branch located at 17000 Forest Road in Forest (opened February 2005) (the Forest Branch), |

| A branch located at 1405 Ole Dominion Boulevard in the City of Bedford, Virginia, located off of Independence Boulevard (opened October 2008) (the Bedford Branch). |
| A branch located at 1110 Main Street, Altavista, Virginia (relolcated from temporary branch in June 2009) (the Altavista Branch). |
The Bank also has opened a limited-service branch located in the Westminster-Canterbury facilities located at 501 VES Road, Lynchburg, Virginia 24503.
In addition, the Bank, through its mortgage division, originates residential mortgage loans through two officesone located at the Forest Branch and the other located at 1152 Hendricks Store Road, Moneta, Virginia.
The Investment Services Division operates primarily out of its office located at the Church Street Branch.
The Bank continuously evaluates areas located within Region 2000 to identify additional viable branch locations. Based on this ongoing evaluation, the Bank may acquire one or more additional suitable sites.
Subject to regulatory approval, the Bank anticipates opening additional branches during the next two fiscal years. Although numerous factors could influence the Banks expansion plans, the Bank intends to open a location on property that it previously purchased at the intersection of Turnpike and Timberlake Roads, Campbell County, Virginia. The Bank has determined that the existing structures on the Timberlake site are insufficient for use as a bank branch. The Bank does not anticipate requesting approval to open a branch at this location prior to 2011. The Bank estimates that the cost of improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment necessary to upfit this property will be between $1,300,000 and $1,700,000.
Although the Bank cannot predict with certainty the financial impact of each new branch, management generally anticipates that each new branch will become profitable within 12 to 18 months of operation.
Subject to terms acceptable to the Bank, the Bank may consider entering into sale-leaseback arrangements for one or more of its branches.
Except as set forth herein, the Bank does not expect to purchase any significant property or equipment in the upcoming 12 months. Future branch openings are subject to regulatory approval.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Bank is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets and could impact the overall liquidity and capital resources to the extent customers accept and or use these commitments.

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

Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on the Banks credit evaluation of the customer.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Collateral is required in instances that the Bank deems necessary.
SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion represents managements discussion and analysis of the financial condition of Financial as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and the results of operations of Financial for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included elsewhere herein and should be read in the context of the length of time for which the Bank has been operating.
All financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Financial Condition Summary
September 30, 2010 as Compared to December 31, 2009
Total assets were $415,955,000 on September 30, 2010 compared with $437,681,000 at December 31, 2009, a decrease of 4.96%. The decrease in total assets is due primarily to a decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities resulting from a decrease in deposits, as explained in the following paragraph and the repayment of a Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLBA) advance in the amount of $10,000,000.
Total deposits decreased from $375,772,000 as of December 31, 2009 to $364,511,000 on September 30, 2010, a decrease of 3.00%. Total deposits began to decrease shortly after March 1, 2010, the date on which the Bank reduced the rate paid on its 2010 Savings Account from a guaranteed minimum of 3.00% APY to the current 1.25% APY. Effective November 1, 2010, the Bank further reduced the rate on the 2010 Savings Account from 1.25% APY to 1.00% APY The Bank lowered the rate to decrease its cost of funds and anticipates that while deposits may decrease further as a result of this

rate reduction, the Banks net interest margin and the cost of funds will improve. The balance of non-FDIC insured sweep accounts (repurchase agreements) decreased to $7,312,000 on September 30, 2010 from $10,710,000 on December 31, 2009 in large part because of a decrease in interest rates paid on these accounts.
To complement deposits in funding asset growth and due to the attractive rates on these funds, the Bank has funded past asset growth with short to medium term advances from the FHLBA. As of September 30, 2010, the principal balance of FHLBA borrowings was $10,000,000 as compared to $20,000,000 on December 31, 2009. On February 5, 2010, a $10,000,000 advance matured and was repaid to FHLBA, which accounts for the decrease. The remaining $10,000,000 in FHLBA advances begin to mature in 2013.
Total loans increased to $326,079,000 on September 30, 2010 from $322,740,000 on December 31, 2009. Loans, net of unearned income and allowance, increased to $321,129,000 on September 30, 2010 from $318,452,000 on December 31, 2009, an increase of 0.84%. The following summarizes the position of the Banks loan portfolio as of the dates indicated by dollar amount and percentages (dollar amounts in thousands):

Total nonperforming assets, which consist of non-accrual loans and other real estate owned (OREO) increased to $9,731,000 on September 30, 2010 from $7,207,000 on December 31, 2009. Non-accrual loans increased to $6,980,000 on September 30, 2010 from $5,687,000 on December 31, 2009. As discussed in more detail below under Results of OperationsAllowance for Loan Losses, management has provided for the anticipated losses on these loans in the loan loss reserve and consequently does not anticipate that the increase in non-accrual loans will have a material impact on the financial condition of the Bank.
OREO represents real property owned by the Bank acquired either through purchase at foreclosure or received from the borrower through a deed in lieu of foreclosure. On December 31, 2009, the Bank was carrying 4 OREO properties on its books at a value of $666,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Bank acquired 8 additional OREO properties that are being carried on the books at a value of $1,303,000. Thus, as of September 30, 2010, the Bank was carrying 12 OREO properties on its books at a value of $2,751,000. Since September 30, 2010, the Bank has added no additional OREO properties. The OREO properties are available for sale and are being actively marketed.

The decrease in impaired loans as reflected in the above table was a result of the continual evaluation of the loan portfolio in light of current economic conditions and the value of the underlying collateral securing loans. The results of the evaluation led management to downgrade certain relationships which resulted in a $600,000 provision in the third quarter. The allowance for loan losses is discussed in more detail below.

No non-accrual loans were excluded from impaired loan disclosure under current accounting rules at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The amount of troubled debt restructurings (TDR) included at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $1,413,000 and $741,000, respectively. If interest on non-accrual loans had been accrued, such income would have approximated $781,000 and $641,000, through September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Loan payments received on non-accrual loans are first applied to principal. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status there are several negative implications. First, all interest accrued but unpaid at the time of the classification is reversed and deducted from the interest income totals for the Bank. Second, accruals of interest are discontinued until it becomes certain that both principal and interest can be repaid. Third, there may be actual losses that necessitate additional provisions for credit losses charged against earnings. These loans were included in the non-performing loan totals listed above.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $20,720,000 on September 30, 2010 from $31,305,000 on December 31, 2009. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash due from correspondents, cash in vault, and overnight investments (including federal funds sold). This decrease is due in part to a decrease in the balance in 2010 Savings Accounts, routine fluctuations in deposits, including fluctuations in transactional accounts and professional settlement accounts, both of which are subject to fluctuations, and will contribute to variations in cash and cash equivalents.

Securities held-to-maturity decreased slightly to $14,361,000 on September 30, 2010 from $15,550,000 on December 31, 2009. Securities available-for-sale decreased to $33,599,000 on September 30, 2010 from $45,239,000 on December 31, 2009. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 the Bank received $6,494,000 in proceeds from maturities and/or calls of securities available-for-sale and has received proceeds from sale of securities available-for sale totaling $38,201,000. The Bank purchased $31,545,000 in securities available-for-sale during the same period. The decrease from December 31, 2009 in securities available-for-sale was primarily due to the liquidation of those securities to accommodate withdrawals from the 2010 Savings Accounts following the reduction in the rate paid on those accounts.
Financials investment in FHLBA stock totaled $1,426,000 at September 30, 2010, as compared to $1,537,000 on December 31, 2009. FHLBA stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment and because there is no market for the stock other than other Federal Home Loan Banks or member institutions, FHLBA stock is viewed as a restricted security. Therefore, when evaluating FHLBA stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Effective August 17, 2010, the FHLBA resumed the repurchase of Subclass B2 activity-based stock. In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the FHLBA repurchased $111,000 of its stock from the Bank.
At September 30, 2010, Financial had liquid assets of approximately $54,319,000 in the form of cash and available-for-sale investments. Management believes that liquid assets were adequate at September 30, 2010. Management anticipates that additional liquidity will be provided by the growth in deposit accounts and loan repayments at the Bank. In addition, the Bank has the ability to purchase federal funds on the open market and borrow from the Federal Reserve Banks discount window, if necessary.
In connection with a private placement of unregistered debt securities, Financial issued capital notes in the amount $7,000,000 (the Notes) in 2009. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per year with interest payable quarterly in arrears. No principal payments are due until April 1, 2012, the date on which the Notes mature and the principal and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes will be due and payable. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, Financial made an interest payment on the Notes totaling $105,000.
Management is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on Financials short-term or long-term liquidity.

At September 30, 2010, the Bank had a leverage ratio of 7.73%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 10.05% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.31%. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the Banks regulatory capital levels exceeded those established for well-capitalized institutions.

The above tables set forth the capital position and analysis for the Bank only. Because total assets on a consolidated basis are less than $500,000,000, Financial is not subject to the consolidated capital requirements imposed by the Bank Holding Company Act. Consequently, Financial does not calculate its financial ratios on a consolidated basis. If calculated, the capital ratios for the Company on a consolidated basis would no longer be comparable to the capital ratios of the Bank because the proceeds of the private placement do not qualify as equity capital on a consolidated basis.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three and nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
Earnings Summary
Financial had net income of $506,000 and $1,642,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 respectively, compared to a net loss of $1,204,000 and $825,000 for the comparable periods in 2009. The basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $0.15 compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.37 for the same period in 2009. The basic and diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $0.50 and $0.49, respectively, compared with a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.25 for the same period in 2009. All earnings per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the 10% stock dividend paid by Financial in July 2010, the 5% stock dividend paid by Financial in July 2009 and all prior stock dividends.

Table of Contents
The increase in net income was due in large part to a decrease in the interest paid on 2010 Savings Accounts and certificates of deposit.
These operating results represent an annualized return on stockholders equity of 7.91% and 8.87% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared with an annualized negative return of 18.42% and 4.31% in the same periods in 2009. The Company had an annualized return on average assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 of 0.49% and 0.53%, respectively, compared with an annualized negative return of 1.16% and 0.28% for the same periods in 2009.
Interest Income, Interest Expense, and Net Interest Income
Interest income increased to $5,392,000 and $16,233,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $5,365,000 and $14,967,000 for the same periods in 2009, an increase of 0.50% and 8.46% from the same periods in 2009. The rate on total average earning assets increased slightly from 5.51% and 5.57% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 to 5.62% and 5.66% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 in part because the Bank invested a greater percentage of its earning assets in loans and investment securities rather than federal funds. Although management cannot be certain, management expects that interest rates will remain near historic lows for the remainder of 2010 and may negatively impact our interest income.
Interest expense decreased to $1,454,000 and $5,028,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $2,443,000 and $6,747,000 for the same periods in 2009, decreases 40.48% and 25.48%, respectively. The decreases in interest expense resulted in large part from a decrease in both the balances of the 2010 Savings Account and the rate paid on those balances.
The fundamental source of the Banks revenue is net interest income, which is determined by the difference between (i) interest and dividend income on interest earning assets, which consist primarily of loans, investment securities and other investments, and (ii) interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which consist principally of deposits and other borrowings. Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $3,938,000 and $11,205,000 compared with $2,922,000 and $8,220,000 for the same periods in 2009. The net interest margin increased to 4.10 % and 3.91% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 from 3.00% and 3.06% in the same periods a year ago. The increase in net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared with the comparable three and nine months in 2009 was due to a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits, primarily resulting from a decrease in the balance in and rate paid on the 2010 Savings Account.
Financials net interest margin analysis and average balance sheets are shown in Schedule I on page 30.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income, which is comprised primarily of fees and charges on transactional deposit accounts, mortgage loan origination fees, commissions on sales of investments and the Banks ownership interest in a title insurance agency, increased to $856,000 (exclusive of a gain of $98,000 on the sale of securities) and $2,346,000 (exclusive of a gain of $320,000 on the sale of securities) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $616,000 (exclusive of a loss of $149,000 on the sale of securities) and $2,161,000 (exclusive of a loss of $3,000 on the sale of securities) for the comparable periods in 2009. This increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods last year was due primarily to increased mortgage originations resulting from the low interest rate environment as well as increased income earned on the bank-owned life insurance portfolio.
The Bank, through the Mortgage Division, originates both conforming and non-conforming consumer residential mortgage loans in the Region 2000 area. As part of the Banks overall risk
25
Table of Contents
management strategy, all of the loans originated and closed by the Mortgage Division are presold to major national mortgage banking or financial institutions. The Mortgage Division assumes no credit or interest rate risk on these mortgages.
Management anticipates that residential mortgage rates will remain near the current historic lows for the remainder of 2010. Management expects that low rates coupled with the Mortgage Divisions reputation in Region 2000 will allow us to continue to grow revenue at the Mortgage Division. Revenue from mortgage origination fees increased in both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods for 2009. Management believes that regulatory pressure may result in a decreased number of competitors to the Mortgage Division and this could result in an increase in market share.
We anticipate that Investment Services Division and the Mortgage Division will continue to contribute non-interest income in the remainder of 2010.
In September, 2008, the Company began operating BOTJ Insurance, Inc. (BOTJ Insurance), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. Currently BOTJ Insurance is a stand-alone agency with no employees. Management does not expect BOTJ Insurance to have a material impact on non-interest income in the foreseeable future.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased to $3,556,000 and $10,021,000, or 30.83% and 22.04%, from $2,718,000 and $8,211,000 for the comparable periods in 2009. These increases in non-interest expense from the comparable periods in 2009 can be attributed to increased compensation and occupancy expenses and an increase in the FDIC assessment.
Total personnel expense was $1,759,000 and $5,086,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $1,286,000 and $3,999,000 for the same periods in 2009. Compensation for some employees of the Mortgage Division and Investment Division is commission-based and therefore subject to fluctuation. In addition, the application of current accounting rules had the effect of reducing personnel expense. Current accounting rules require the incremental direct costs of originating and closing a loan to be deferred and amortized over the life of the loan adjusting the net yield. This deferral of loan costs had the effect of deferring approximately $105,000 and $306,000 in salary expense, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared with a deferred salary expense of $304,000 and $903,000 for the same periods in 2009. After adding back the cost deferral under current accounting rules, our total salary and benefit expense increased by $274,000 and $490,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 from the comparable periods in 2009.
The Bank also had increases in depreciation expense and other operating expenses, all of which are related to the growth of the Banks fixed asset base and increased market coverage in Region 2000.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the FDIC premium expense increased to $291,000 from $138,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. FDIC Assessment payments have increased in large part because of i) FDIC coverage on accounts has increased from $100,000 to $250,000; ii) the FDIC is charging additional premiums for participation in the Transactional Account Guarantee Program (TAGP); and iii) an increase in the total base assessment rates needed to replenish the fund.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The provision to the allowance for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management and is based upon many factors, including calculations of specific impairment of certain loans, general economic conditions, actual and expected credit losses, loan performance measures, historical trends and specific conditions of the individual borrower. Based on the application of the loan loss calculation, the Bank provided $600,000 and $1,435,000 to the allowance for loan loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to provision of $2,500,000 and $3,433,000 for the comparable periods in 2009.
The decrease in the loan loss provision for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same quarter in 2009 was due to the following two factors:
| In 2009, the quality of certain assets, primarily commercial development loans and residential speculative housing construction loans, were impacted by a decline in the value of the collateral supporting the loan. Managements initial evaluation of these assets classes resulted in the increased provision in the quarter ended September 30, 2009. |
| In light of the current economic environment, management continues its ongoing assessment of specific impairment in the Banks loan portfolio. The analysis resulted in a decrease in the provision for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same quarter in 2009. |
Management believes that the current allowance for loan loss of $4,955,000 (or 1.52% of total loans) at September 30, 2010 is adequate.
The following sets forth the reconciliation of the allowance for loan loss:

Net charge offs decreased from $523,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $353,000 for the same period in 2010. Net charge offs decreased from $992,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $768,000 for the same period in 2010. Charged off loans, which are loans that management deems uncollectible, are written against the loan loss reserve and constitute a realized loss. While a charged off loan may subsequently be collected, such recoveries generally are realized over an extended period of time. The decreased balance as of September 30, 2010 as compared to September 30, 2009 reflects the charge-offs that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Income Taxes
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, Financial had an income tax expense of $230,000 and $773,000, respectively.
Legislation
The FDIC imposed an emergency special assessment of 5 basis points on all insured financial institutions, based on assets minus Tier 1 capital as of September 30, 2009. This special assessment of $180,000 was accrued and expensed in the second quarter of 2009 but paid by us on September 30, 2009. Subsequently, the FDIC required insured financial institutions to prepay three years of regular FDIC premiums to recapitalize the insurance fund. We made this payment in December 2009, but are amortizing the prepayment over a three year period.
On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Reform Act) was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Reform Act represents a significant overhaul of many aspects of the regulation of the financial services industry, although many of its provisions (e.g., the interchange and trust preferred capital limitations) apply to companies that are significantly larger than Financial. The Dodd-Frank Reform Act directs applicable regulatory authorities to promulgate regulations implementing its provisions, and its effect on Financial and on the financial services industry as a whole will be clarified as those regulations are issued. Major elements of the Dodd-Frank Reform Act include:
| A permanent increase in deposit insurance coverage to $250,000 per account, permanent unlimited deposit insurance on noninterest-bearing transaction accounts, and an increase in the minimum Deposit Insurance Fund reserve requirement for banks having consolidated assets in excess of $10 billion from 1.15% to 1.35%, with assessments to be based on assets as opposed to deposits. |
| New disclosure and other requirements relating to executive compensation and corporate governance. |
| Amendments to the Truth in Lending Act aimed at improving consumer protections with respect to mortgage originations, including originator compensation, minimum repayment standards, and prepayment considerations. |
| The establishment of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, which will be responsible for identifying and monitoring systemic risks posed by financial firms, activities, and practices. |
| The development of regulations to limit debit card interchange fees. |
| The future elimination of trust preferred securities as a permitted element of Tier 1 capital. |
| The creation of a special regime to allow for the orderly liquidation of systemically important financial companies, including the establishment of an orderly liquidation fund. |
| The development of regulations to address derivatives markets, including clearing and exchange trading requirements and a framework for regulating derivatives-market participants. |
| Enhanced supervision of credit rating agencies through the Office of Credit Ratings within the SEC. |

| Increased regulation of asset-backed securities, including a requirement that issuers of asset-backed securities retain at least 5% of the risk of the asset-backed securities. |
| The establishment of a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, within the Federal Reserve, to serve as a dedicated consumer-protection regulatory body. |
Financial continues to evaluate the potential impact of the Dodd-Frank Reform Act.
