NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of First Community Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries (“First Community” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation have been made. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full calendar year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2013 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 11, 2014. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with standards for the preparation of interim consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K.

The Company operates in one business segment, Community Banking, which consists of commercial and consumer banking, lending activities, wealth management, and insurance services. The Company’s executive office is located at One Community Place, Bluefield, Virginia. As of March 31, 2014, our operations were conducted through 74 locations in 5 states: Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

Significant Accounting Policies

A complete and detailed description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K. A discussion of the Company’s application of critical accounting estimates is included in “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 2 of this report.

Reclassifications and Corrections

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were no recent accounting pronouncements that had, or are likely to have, a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Earnings per Common Share

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

The Company reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of OTTI. Debt securities not beneficially owned by the Company include securities issued from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), municipal securities, and single issue trust preferred securities. For debt securities not beneficially owned, the Company analyzes factors such as the severity and duration of the impairment, adverse conditions within the issuing industry, prospects for the issuer, performance of the security, changes in rating by rating agencies, and other qualitative factors to determine if the impairment will be recovered. If the evaluation suggests that the impairment will not be recovered, the Company calculates the present value of the security to determine the amount of OTTI. The security is then written down to its current present value and the Company calculates and records the amount of the loss due to credit factors in earnings through noninterest income and the amount due to other factors in stockholders’ equity through OCI. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, and March 31, 2013, the Company incurred no OTTI charges related to debt securities not beneficially owned. Temporary impairment on these securities is primarily related to changes in interest rates, certain disruptions in the credit markets, destabilization in the Eurozone, and other current economic factors.

Debt securities beneficially owned by the Company consist of corporate FDIC securities and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). For debt securities beneficially owned, the Company analyzes the cash flows for each applicable security to determine if an adverse change in cash flows expected to be collected has occurred. If the projected value of cash flows at the current reporting date is less than the present value previously projected, and less than the current book value, an adverse change has occurred. The Company then compares the current present value of cash flows to the current net book value to determine the credit-related portion of the OTTI. The credit-related OTTI is recorded in earnings through noninterest income and any remaining noncredit-related OTTI is recorded in stockholders’ equity through OCI. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred credit-related OTTI charges related to debt securities beneficially owned of $232 thousand. These charges were related to a non-Agency MBS. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company incurred no credit-related OTTI charges.

The Company uses a discounted cash flow model for the non-Agency Alt-A residential MBS with the following assumptions: constant voluntary prepayment rate of 2.5%, a customized constant default rate scenario that assumes approximately 15% of the remaining underlying mortgages will default over the life of the security, and a customized loss severity rate scenario that ramps the loss rate down from 51% to 10% over the course of approximately 33 months. The following table presents the activity for credit-related losses recognized in earnings on debt securities where a portion of an OTTI was recognized in OCI for the periods indicated:

 

     Three Months Ended

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

For equity securities, the Company considers its intent to hold or sell the security before recovery, the severity and duration of the decline in fair value of the security below its cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether the decline appears to be related to issuer, general market, or industry conditions to determine if the impairment will be recovered. If the Company deems the impairment other-than-temporary in nature, the security is written down to its current present value and the OTTI loss is charged to earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred OTTI charges related to certain equity holdings of $32 thousand. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans

When the fair values of purchased loans are established at acquisition, certain loans are identified as impaired. These purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans are aggregated into loan pools that have common risk characteristics. The Company’s loan pools consist of Waccamaw commercial, Waccamaw lines of credit, Peoples commercial, Waccamaw serviced home equity lines, Waccamaw residential, Peoples residential, and Waccamaw consumer. The Company estimates cash flows to be collected on PCI loans and discounts those cash flows at a market rate of interest. The following table presents the carrying and contractual unpaid principal balance of PCI loans, by acquisition, as of the dates indicated:

Note 4. Credit Quality

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

The following tables present the recorded investment and related information for loans considered to be impaired, excluding PCI loans, as of the periods indicated:

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

 

    Pass — This grade is assigned to loans with acceptable credit quality and risk. The Company further segments this grade based on borrower characteristics that include: capital strength, earnings stability, liquidity leverage, and industry conditions.

 

    Special Mention — This grade is assigned to loans that require an above average degree of supervision and attention. These loans have the characteristics of an asset with acceptable credit quality and risk; however, adverse economic or financial conditions exist that create potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention. If potential weaknesses are not corrected, the prospect of repayment may worsen.

 

    Substandard — This grade is assigned to loans that have well defined weaknesses that may make payment default, or principal exposure, possible. In order to meet repayment terms, these loans will likely be dependent on collateral liquidation, secondary repayment sources, or events outside the normal course of business.

 

    Doubtful — This grade is assigned to loans on nonaccrual status. These loans have the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans; however, the weaknesses are so severe that collection or liquidation in full is extremely unlikely based on current facts, conditions, and values. Due to certain specific pending factors, the amount of loss cannot yet be determined.

 

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

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

The Company may make concessions in interest rates, loan terms and/or amortization terms when restructuring loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. All restructured loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in excess of $250 thousand are evaluated for a specific reserve based on either the collateral or net present value method, whichever is most applicable. Specific reserves in the allowance for loan losses attributed to TDRs totaled $1.83 million as of March 31, 2014, and $1.84 million as of December 31, 2013. Restructured loans under $250 thousand are subject to the reserve calculation at the historical loss rate for classified loans. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and are returned to performing status after six months of satisfactory payment performance; however, these loans remain identified as impaired until full payment or other satisfaction of the obligation occurs. The Company recognized interest income on TDRs of $149 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and $240 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Note 5. Allowance for Loan Losses

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

The Company’s allowance is comprised of specific reserves related to loans individually evaluated, including credit relationships, and general reserves related to loans not individually evaluated that are segmented into groups with similar risk characteristics, based on an internal risk grading matrix. General reserve allocations are based on management’s judgments of qualitative and quantitative factors about macro and micro economic conditions reflected within the loan portfolio and the economy. For loans acquired in a business combination, loans identified as credit impaired at the acquisition date are grouped into pools and evaluated separately from the non-PCI portfolio. The Company has aggregated PCI loans into the following pools: Waccamaw commercial, Waccamaw lines of credit, Peoples commercial, Waccamaw serviced home equity lines, Waccamaw residential, Peoples residential, and Waccamaw consumer. Provisions calculated for PCI loans are offset by an adjustment to the FDIC indemnification asset to reflect the indemnified portion, 80%, of the post-acquisition exposure. While allocations are made to various portfolio segments, the allowance for loan losses, excluding reserves allocated to specific loans and PCI loan pools, is available for use against any loan loss management deems appropriate. As of March 31, 2014, management believed the allowance was adequate to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Note 6. FDIC Indemnification Asset

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

Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased and retail repurchase agreements, which are typically collateralized with agency MBSs. The weighted average rate of federal funds purchased was 0.34% as of March 31, 2014, and 0.36% as of December 31, 2013. The weighted average rate of retail repurchase agreements was 0.16% as of March 31, 2014, and 0.38% as of December 31, 2013.

Long-term borrowings consist of wholesale repurchase agreements; FHLB borrowings, including convertible and callable advances; and other obligations. The weighted average contractual rate of wholesale repurchase agreements was 3.71% as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, the weighted average contractual maturity of wholesale repurchase agreements was 3.83 years. The weighted average contractual rate of FHLB borrowings was 4.12% as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, the weighted average contractual maturity of FHLB borrowings was 4.32 years. The following schedule presents contractual maturities of FHLB borrowings, by year, as of March 31, 2014:

FHLB callable advances may be redeemed by the FHLB at quarterly intervals after various lockout periods that could substantially shorten the lives of the advances. If called, the advance may be paid in full or converted into another FHLB credit product. Prepayment of an advance may result in substantial penalties based on the differential between the contractual note and current advance rate for similar maturities. FHLB advances were secured by qualifying loans that totaled $1.16 billion as of March 31, 2014, and $1.13 billion as of December 31, 2013. Unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB was $362.35 million as of March 31, 2014.

Subordinated debt consists of junior subordinated debentures (“Debentures”) of $15.46 million that were issued by the Company in October 2003 to the Trust. The Debentures had an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.95%. The Trust was able to purchase the Debentures through the issuance of trust preferred securities, which had substantially identical terms as the Debentures. The Debentures mature on October 8, 2033 and are currently callable. Net proceeds from the offering were contributed as capital to the Bank to support further growth. The Company’s obligations under the Debentures and other relevant Trust agreements, in aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trust’s obligations. The preferred securities issued by the Trust are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets; however, these securities qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes, subject to guidelines issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). The Federal Reserve’s quantitative limits did not prevent the Company from including all $15.46 million in trust preferred securities outstanding in Tier 1 capital as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013.

Note 9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

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

As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s derivative instruments consisted of IRLCs, forward sale loan commitments, and interest rate swaps. Generally, derivative instruments help the Company manage exposure to market risk and meet customer financing needs. Market risk represents the possibility that economic value or net interest income will be adversely affected by fluctuations in external factors such as interest rates, market-driven loan rates, prices, or other economic factors.

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

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

The Company entered into a fifteen-year, $4.34 million notional interest rate swap agreement in February 2014 and a ten-year, $3.50 million notional interest rate swap agreement in October 2013. The swap agreements, which are accounted for as fair value hedges, and the loans hedged by the agreements are recorded at fair value. The fair value hedges were effective as of March 31, 2014.

Note 12. Fair Value

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

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

 

    Level 1 – Observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets

 

    Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability

 

    Level 3 – Unobservable inputs with little or no market activity that require the Company to use reasonable inputs and assumptions

 

33


Table of Contents

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

Assets and Liabilities Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

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

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

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

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

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013. If the Company determines that a valuation technique change is necessary, the change is assumed to have occurred at the end of the respective reporting period. In addition, there were no transfers in to or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

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

Table of Contents

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

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

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments. The Company believes that fair values of unfunded commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees are not meaningful; therefore, off-balance sheet instruments are not addressed in the fair value disclosures. Due to the uncertainty and difficulty in assessing the likelihood and timing of advancing available proceeds, the lack of an established market for these instruments, and the diversity in fee structures, the Company believes it is not feasible or practicable to accurately disclose the fair values of off-balance sheet instruments. For additional information regarding the unfunded, contractual value of off-balance sheet financial instruments see Note 13, “Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

Note 13. Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

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

Commitments and Contingencies

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

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

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

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

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless the context suggests otherwise, the terms “First Community,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to First Community Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations. MD&A contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes, and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2013 Form 10-K”).

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

We may make forward-looking statements in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Exhibits hereto, filings incorporated by reference, reports to our shareholders, and other communications that we make in good faith pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements represent our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, anticipations, estimates, and intentions. Such statements are subject to significant risks, uncertainties, and change based on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause our financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements:

 

    the strength of the U.S. economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations;

 

    the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve System;

 

    inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;

 

    our timely development of competitive new products and services and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers;

 

    the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for our products and services and vice versa;

 

    the impact of changes in financial services laws and regulations, including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities, and insurance, and the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act;

 

    the impact of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and federal banking regulators’ continued implementation of programs to address capital and liquidity in the banking system; further, future and proposed rules, including those that are part of the process outlined in the International Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s “Basel III: A Global Regulatory Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems,” which are expected to require banking institutions to increase levels of capital;

 

    technological changes;

 

    the effect of acquisitions, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions;

 

    the growth and profitability of our noninterest, or fee, income being less than expected;

 

    unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings;

 

    changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and

 

    our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

We caution that the foregoing list of important factors is not all-inclusive. If one or more of the factors affecting these forward-looking statements proves incorrect, our actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports we filed with the SEC. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking information and statements. We do not intend to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, to reflect changes. All forward-looking statements attributable to our Company are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements. See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of this report and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2013 Form 10-K.

Company Overview

First Community Bancshares, Inc. (“the Company”) is a financial holding company, headquartered in Bluefield, Virginia, that provides commercial banking services through its wholly-owned subsidiary First Community Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank operates sixty-eight locations under the name First Community Bank in West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina and under the trade name Peoples Community Bank, a Division of First Community Bank, in Tennessee and South Carolina. The Bank offers wealth management and investment advice through its wholly-owned subsidiary First Community Wealth Management (“FCWM”) and the Bank’s Trust Division, which reported combined assets under management of $697 million as of March 31, 2014. These assets are not our assets, but are managed under various fee-based arrangements as fiduciary or agent. The Company provides insurance services through its wholly-owned subsidiary Greenpoint Insurance Group, Inc. (“Greenpoint”), headquartered in High Point, North Carolina, which operates nine locations under the Greenpoint name and under the trade names First Community Insurance Services (“FCIS”) and Carolina Insurers Associates in North Carolina, Carr & Hyde Insurance and FCIS in Virginia, and FCIS in West Virginia. We reported total assets of $2.61 billion as of March 31, 2014. Our Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol, “FCBC.”

We fund our lending and investing activities primarily through the retail deposit operations of our branch banking network, with additional funding provided by retail and wholesale repurchase agreements and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). We invest our funds primarily in loans to retail and commercial customers. In addition to loans, we invest a portion of our funds in various debt securities, including those of the United States and its agencies, municipals, and certain corporate notes, debt instruments, and equity securities. We also maintain overnight interest-bearing balances with the Federal Reserve and other correspondent banks. The difference between interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities is our primary source of earnings. Our net interest income is supplemented by fees for services, commissions on sales, and various deposit service charges.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Our financial position and results of operations require management to make judgments and estimates to develop the amounts reflected and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Different assumptions in the application of these estimates could result in material changes to our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events believed to be reasonable under the circumstances that are periodically evaluated. These estimates are generally necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at estimated fair value, a decline in the value of an asset carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or establishment of a valuation reserve, or an asset or liability needs to be recorded based upon the probability of occurrence of a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. Fair values and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or, when available, are provided by third-party sources. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated by management primarily through the use of financial modeling techniques and appraisal estimates. Our accounting policies are fundamental in understanding MD&A and the disclosures presented in the notes to consolidated statements. Our critical accounting estimates are described in detail in the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section in Part II, Item 7 of our 2013 Form 10-K.

Performance Overview

Highlights of our results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, and financial condition as of March 31, 2014, include the following:

 

    The non-covered loan portfolio increased $29.66 million compared to year-end 2013 and $94.46 million compared to the first quarter of 2013. The increase from March 31, 2013, is primarily attributed to new commercial real estate volume in Southern West Virginia and Central North Carolina. This marks the fourth consecutive quarter non-covered loan growth has exceeded covered loan declines.

 

    Annualized growth in the non-covered loan portfolio was 7.71% during the quarter.

 

    Non-covered delinquent loans as a percentage of total non-covered loans experienced a significant decrease of 104 basis points, or 36.78%, to 1.79% compared to the first quarter of 2013. The decrease is attributed to declines in both past due and nonaccrual loans.

 

    The Company repurchased 131,500 shares during the quarter.

 

    The Company significantly exceeds regulatory “well capitalized” targets as of March 31, 2014, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 16.24%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 14.98%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.13%.

Three Month Comparison. Net income decreased in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to the decrease in interest earned on loans as the average loan yield decreased 52 basis points, or 8.63% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter of the prior year.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, our largest contributor to earnings, comprised 75.28% of total net interest and noninterest income in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 74.82% in the same quarter of 2013. For the following discussion, net interest income is presented on a tax equivalent basis to provide a comparison among all types of interest earning assets. The tax equivalent basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. Although non-GAAP, management believes this financial measure is more widely used in the financial services industry and provides better comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to monitor net interest income performance and manage the composition of our balance sheet. The following table presents our average consolidated balance sheets in the periods indicated:

Three Month Comparison. Net interest income under GAAP decreased $1.34 million, or 5.72%, and tax equivalent net interest income decreased $1.37 million, or 5.69%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Changes in the average balances of and yields/rates on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a 4 basis point decrease in the net interest rate spread and a 5 basis point decrease in the net interest margin.

Loan interest accretion stemming from the Peoples and Waccamaw acquisitions totaled $3.12 million in the first quarter of 2014, of which $600 thousand was received in cash, and $3.84 million in the same quarter of the prior year, of which $1.78 million was received in cash. Excluding non-cash accretion income, the yield on loans decreased 62 basis points, which compares to a decrease of 52 basis points under GAAP. Excluding non-cash accretion income, the net interest margin decreased 16 basis points, which compares to a decrease of 5 basis points under GAAP. We expect the effect of accretion income on acquired loans to continue to be lessened in future periods.

Average earning assets decreased $105.17 million, or 4.47%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to decreases in interest-bearing deposits with banks, which are primarily comprised of excess liquidity kept at the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) of Richmond bearing overnight market rates, and securities available for sale. The yield on earning assets decreased 12 basis points, which was largely due to a 52 basis point decrease in the yield on loans, a result of the continued low rate environment, and a 400 basis point decrease in the yield on held-to-maturity securities, due to new investments in lower yielding securities. During the first quarter of 2014, we purchased medium-term bonds in the held-to-maturity category to provide for the funding necessary to extinguish certain wholesale borrowings as they come due.

As of March 31, 2014, interest-bearing liabilities included interest-bearing deposits; retail repurchase agreements, consisting of collateralized retail deposits and commercial treasury accounts; wholesale repurchase agreements; Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances; and other borrowings. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $83.54 million, or 4.21%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to declines in average time deposit balances. The yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 8 basis points, which was largely due to a 10 basis point decrease in the rate on interest-bearing deposits. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $61.20 million, or 3.65% which was driven by a $101.66 million, or 12.46%, decrease in average time deposits, partially offset by increases in average interest-bearing demand deposits of $16.34 million, or 4.62%, and average savings deposits, which include money market and savings accounts, of $24.11 million, or 4.77%. Average borrowings decreased $22.34 million, or 7.22%, largely due to the prepayment of certain borrowings acquired from Waccamaw totaling $19.62 million during the first quarter of 2013.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is the amount added to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted in order to bring the allowance to a level management determines necessary to absorb probable losses in the existing loan portfolio. The provision charged to operations was increased by $651 thousand in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter of the prior year due to an increase in specific reserves on loans identified as impaired during the quarter and growth in the non-covered loan portfolio. A net recovery of $262 thousand was attributed to the provision for purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans in the first quarter of 2014 due to better than expected performance in the Waccamaw PCI loan portfolio, of which $59 thousand was credited to operations and $203 thousand was recorded through the FDIC indemnification asset to reflect the indemnified portion of the post-acquisition exposure. There was no provision attributed to PCI loans prior to the second quarter of 2013. See “Allowance for Loan Losses” in the “Financial Condition” section below.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income consists of all revenues not included in interest and fee income related to earning assets. Noninterest income comprised 24.72% of total net interest and noninterest income in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 25.18% in the same quarter of the prior year. The following table presents the components of, and changes in, noninterest income in the periods indicated:

Three Month Comparison. Noninterest income decreased $627 thousand, or 7.98%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Wealth management revenues, which include fees and commissions for trust and investment advisory services, increased as a result of the recognition of estate settlement fees. Service charges on deposit accounts and other charges and fees decreased primarily from a reduction in non-sufficient funds and interchange fee income. Insurance commissions increased largely due to increased levels of contingent profit-sharing commissions and a general increase in premium commissions. In the first quarter of 2014, we incurred OTTI charges of $264 thousand related to a non-Agency mortgage-backed security (“MBS”) and certain equity holdings and realized a net gain of $45 thousand on the sale of securities. See Note 2, “Investment Securities,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report. We recorded net amortization related to the FDIC indemnification asset of $1.13 million as a result of improved loss estimates in the covered Waccamaw loan portfolio. Other operating income decreased primarily due to a $301 thousand decrease in secondary market income, a $296 thousand decrease in income from bank owned life insurance policies, and a $392 thousand decrease in gains recognized in 2013 from debt prepayments.

Excluding the impact from OTTI charges, the sale of securities, and the net amortization on the FDIC indemnification asset, noninterest income decreased $696 thousand, or 7.50%, to $8.59 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared with $9.28 million in the same quarter of the prior year.

Full-time equivalent employees, calculated using the number of hours worked, decreased to 706 as of March 31, 2014, from 746 as of March 31, 2013. The reduction in full-time equivalent employees was seen throughout our corporate and branch network. Occupancy, furniture, and equipment expense decreased $226 thousand, or 7.07%, in the first quarter of 2014, which included a $76 thousand decrease in property taxes and a $71 thousand decrease in depreciation costs. The increase in other operating expense included a net loss on sales and expenses on OREO of $857 thousand in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $625 thousand in the same period of the prior year 2012, as well as an increase in ATM processing expense of $171 thousand.

Income tax as a percentage of pretax income may vary significantly from statutory rates due to permanent differences, which are items of income and expense excluded by law from the calculation of taxable income. Our most significant permanent differences generally include interest income on municipal securities and increases in the cash surrender value of officers’ life insurance policies, which are both exempt from federal income tax. Income tax expense decreased $835 thousand, or 24.59%, and the effective rate decreased 132 basis points to 30.91% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate was largely due to a decrease in taxable revenues as a percent of net earnings.

Financial Condition

Total assets were $2.61 billion as of March 31, 2014, an increase of $7.83 million, or 0.30%, compared with $2.60 billion as of December 31, 2013. Total liabilities were $2.28 billion as of March 31, 2014, an increase of $2.53 million, or 0.11%, compared with $2.27 billion as of December 31, 2013. Our book value per as-converted common share was $17.18 as of March 31, 2014, an increase of $0.39, compared to December 31, 2013.

Investment Securities

Available-for-sale securities as of March 31, 2014, decreased $35.96 million, or 6.92%, compared to December 31, 2013. The market value of securities available-for-sale as a percentage of amortized cost was 96.91% as of March 31, 2014, compared to 95.97% as of December 31, 2013.

Held-to-maturity securities as of March 31, 2014, increased $7.59 million compared to $568 thousand as of December 31, 2013, due to the purchase of medium-term bonds to provide funding to extinguish certain wholesale borrowings when due. Investment securities classified as held to maturity are comprised primarily of U.S. Agency securities and high grade municipal bonds. The market value of securities held to maturity as a percentage of amortized cost was 99.84% as of March 31, 2014, compared with 101.94% as of December 31, 2013.

We recognized credit-related OTTI charges in earnings associated with debt securities beneficially owned of $232 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and no charges for the three months ended March 31, 2013. These charges were related to a non-Agency MBS. Temporary impairment on the non-Agency MBS is primarily related to changes in interest rates. We recognized OTTI charges in earnings associated with certain equity securities of $32 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and no charges for the three months ended March 31, 2013. See Note 2, “Investment Securities,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale as of March 31, 2014, increased $860 thousand, or 97.40%, compared to December 31, 2013. Loans held for sale consist of mortgage loans sold on a best efforts basis into the secondary loan market; accordingly, we do not retain the interest rate risk involved in these long-term commitments. The gross notional amount of outstanding commitments related to secondary market mortgage loans as of March 31, 2014, was $2.04 million for 10 loans compared to $3.68 million for 19 loans as of December 31, 2013.

Loans Held for Investment

Loans held for investment as of March 31, 2014, increased $21.14 million, or 1.24%, compared to December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to increased draw activity related to existing construction loans coupled with continued growth in commercial real estate originations. The non-covered loan portfolio increased $29.66 million, or 1.90%, compared to December 31, 2013. The average loan to deposit ratio was 88.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to 84.98% for the same period of 2013. Our loans held for investment are grouped into three segments (commercial loans, consumer real estate loans, and consumer and other loans) with each segment divided into various classes. Covered loans are defined as loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions that are covered by loss share agreements. See Note 3, “Loans,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

The following table presents loans, net of unearned income with non-covered loans disaggregated by class, as of the periods indicated.

Risk Elements

Nonperforming assets consist of loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis, accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more, unseasoned troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), and OREO. Loans acquired with credit deterioration with a discount continue to accrue interest based on expected cash flows; therefore, PCI loans are generally not considered nonaccrual. See Note 5, “Credit Quality,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

The following table summarizes the components of nonperforming assets and presents additional details for nonperforming and restructured loans as of the periods indicated:

Non-covered nonperforming assets totaled $28.61 million as of March 31, 2014, an $817 thousand increase over December 31, 2013, and a $7.50 million decrease from March 31, 2013. Non-covered nonperforming assets as a percentage of total non-covered assets were 1.16% as of March 31, 2014, 1.14% as of December 31, 2013, and 1.43% as of March 31, 2013.

Non-covered nonaccrual loans totaled $20.91 million as of March 31, 2014, $19.16 million as of December 31, 2013, and $30.08 million as of March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, non-covered nonaccrual loans were largely attributed to the following loan classes: single family owner occupied (37.74%); commercial and industrial (25.66%); non-farm, non-residential (14.22%); and single family nonowner occupied (11.51%). As of March 31, 2014, approximately $2.65 million, or 12.67%, of non-covered nonaccrual loans were attributed to performing loans acquired in business combinations. Certain loans included in the nonaccrual category have been written down to the estimated realizable value or assigned specific reserves within the allowance for loan losses based upon management’s estimate of loss at ultimate resolution.

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

Accruing TDRs totaled $12.97 million as of March 31, 2014, $12.21 million as of December 31, 2013, and $11.87 million as of March 31, 2013. Nonperforming accruing TDRs totaled $1.78 million, or 13.69%, of total accruing TDRs as of March 31, 2014, as compared to 10.74% of accruing TDRs as of December 31, 2013, and 13.45% of accruing TDRs as of March 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses attributed to TDRs totaled $1.83 million as of March 31, 2014, $1.84 million as of December 31, 2013, and $1.65 million as of March 31, 2013.

Ongoing activity in the classification and categories of nonperforming loans include collections on delinquencies, foreclosures, loan restructurings, and movements into or out of the nonperforming classification as a result of changing economic conditions, borrower financial capacity, or resolution efforts. Covered accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more totaled $109 thousand as of March 31, 2014, compared to $86 thousand as of December 31, 2013, and none as of March 31, 2013.

Non-covered OREO, which is carried at the lesser of estimated net realizable value or cost, totaled $5.92 million as of March 31, 2014, a decrease of $1.40 million, or 19.06%, compared with December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, non-covered OREO consisted of 55 properties with an average holding period of 8 months. The net loss on the sale of OREO totaled $714 thousand in the first quarter of 2014 and $400 thousand in the same quarter of the prior year. Pursuant to FDIC loss share agreements, covered OREO is presented net of the related fair value discount. The following tables detail activity within OREO for the periods indicated:

Non-covered delinquent loans, comprised of loans 30 days or more past due and nonaccrual loans, totaled $28.41 million as of March 31, 2014, a decrease of $2.46 million, or 7.96%, compared with December 31, 2013. Non-covered delinquent loans as a percentage of total non-covered loans measured 1.79% as of March 31, 2014, which is attributed to loans 30 to 89 days past due of 0.47% and nonaccrual loans of 1.32%. Non-covered nonperforming loans, comprised of nonaccrual loans, nonperforming TDRs, and unseasoned TDRs, as a percentage of total non-covered loans were 1.43% as of March 31, 2014, 1.31% at December 31, 2013, and 2.12% at March 31, 2013.

Allowance for Loan Losses

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

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

Our allowance for loan losses, excluding PCI loans, as a percentage of non-covered loans declined during the first quarter of 2014. Our qualitative risk factors reflected a reduced risk of loan losses due to improvements in unemployment trends, general economic conditions, and asset quality metrics. As of March 31, 2014, management considered the allowance to be adequate based upon analysis of the portfolio; however, no assurance can be made that additions to the allowance will not be required in future periods. Net charge-offs decreased $193 thousand, or 9.36%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter of the prior year.

Our allowance for loan losses totaled $23.80 million as of March 31, 2014, $24.08 million as of December 31, 2013, and $24.85 million as of March 31, 2013. The allowance attributed to non-PCI loans as a percentage of non-covered loans held for investment was 1.47% as of March 31, 2014, 1.50% at December 31, 2013, and 1.66% at March 31, 2013. The cash flow analysis performed for the first quarter of 2014 identified three of our seven PCI loan pools as impaired with a cumulative impairment of $485 thousand at March 31, 2014. The portfolio will continue to be monitored for deterioration in credit, which may result in the need to record an allowance for loan losses in a future period.

The following table presents activity in our allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

Borrowings

Total borrowings as of March 31, 2014, decreased $21.97 million, or 7.31%, compared to December 31, 2013. Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased and retail repurchase agreements. No federal funds were purchased as of March 31, 2014, compared to $16.00 million as of December 31, 2013. The balance of retail repurchase agreements decreased $5.97 million, or 5.05%, as of March 31, 2014, compared to December 31, 2013. Long-term borrowings consist of wholesale repurchase agreements; FHLB borrowings, including convertible and callable advances; and other obligations. The balance and weighted average rate of wholesale repurchase agreements remained constant at $50.00 million and 3.71%, respectively, as of March 31, 2014, compared to December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, wholesale repurchase agreements had contractual maturities between two and five years. The balance and weighted average rate of FHLB borrowings remained unchanged at $150.00 million and 4.12%, respectively, as of March 31, 2014, compared to December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, FHLB borrowings had contractual maturities between three and seven years.

Stockholders’ Equity

Total stockholders’ equity increased $5.30 million, or 1.61%, from $328.61 million as of December 31, 2013, to $333.91 million as of March 31, 2014. The change in stockholders’ equity was impacted by net income of $5.73 million, dividends declared on our common and Series A Noncumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of $2.44 million, repurchases of 131,500 shares of our common stock totaling $2.15 million, and other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of $4.05 million. OCI was driven by unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

As of March 31, 2014, we maintained liquidity in the form of unencumbered cash on hand and deposits with other financial institutions of $79.00 million, availability on federal funds lines with correspondent banks of $105.00 million, credit available from the FRB’s discount window of $9.09 million, unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $362.35 million, and unpledged available-for-sale securities of $199.27 million. Cash on hand and deposits with other financial institutions, as well as lines of credit extended from correspondent banks and the FHLB, are immediately available to satisfy deposit withdrawals, customer credit needs, and our operations. Available-for-sale securities represent a secondary source of liquidity upon conversion to a liquid asset. Our approved lines of credit with correspondent banks are available as backup liquidity sources.

As a holding company, the Company does not conduct significant operations. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are dividends received from the Bank and borrowings. Dividends paid by the Bank are subject to certain regulatory limitations. As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s liquid assets consisted of cash and investment securities totaling $24.21 million. The Company’s cash reserves and investments provide adequate working capital to meet obligations and projected dividends to shareholders for the next twelve months. The Company maintains a $15.00 million unsecured, committed line of credit with an unrelated financial institution. As of March 31, 2014, there was no outstanding balance on the line.

Capital Resources

Risk-based capital guidelines, promulgated by state and federal banking agencies, include balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet arrangements weighted by the risks inherent in the specific asset type. As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the Company and the Bank were deemed “well capitalized” under regulatory capital adequacy standards.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We extend contractual commitments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by other parties to financial instruments is the same as the contractual amount of the instrument.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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

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

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

Table of Contents

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

The following table summarizes the impact of immediate and sustained rate shocks in the interest rate environment on net interest income. The model simulates plus 300 to minus 100 basis point changes from the base case rate simulation and illustrates the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes over a twelve-month time period. This modeling technique, although useful, does not take into account all strategies that management might undertake in response to a sudden and sustained rate shock as depicted. Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to prepayment and refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes, and other internal and external variables. As of March 31, 2014, the Federal Open Market Committee maintained a target range for federal funds of 0 to 25 basis points, rendering a complete downward shock of 200 basis points meaningless; accordingly, downward rate scenarios are limited to minus 100 basis points. In the downward rate shocks presented, benchmark interest rates are assumed at levels with floors near 0%.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of March 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

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

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We assess the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting quarterly and enhance our controls in response to internal control assessments and internal and external audit and regulatory recommendations. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

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

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

A description of the Company’s risk factors is included in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our 2013 Form 10-K. Our risk factors discuss potential events, trends, or other circumstances that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, access to capital resources, and, consequently, cause the market value of our common stock to decline. These risks could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results and expectations of future financial performance. There may be risks and uncertainties that we have not identified or that we have deemed immaterial that could adversely affect our business; therefore, our risk factors are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all risks we face. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2013 Form 10-K.
