NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1

NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

New Peoples Bankshares, Inc. (“The Company”) is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of a community bank. New Peoples Bank, Inc. (“Bank”) was organized and incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on December 9, 1997. The Bank commenced operations on October 28, 1998, after receiving regulatory approval. As a state chartered member bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve Bank.

On July 7, 2004 the Company established NPB Capital Trust I for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities.

NOTE 2

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES:

The financial statements conform to U. S. generally accepted accounting principles and to general industry practices. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at March 31, 2014, and the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the determination of the deferred tax asset and valuation allowance are based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions.

NOTE 3

FORMAL WRITTEN AGREEMENT:

Effective July 29, 2010, the Company and the Bank entered into a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“Reserve Bank”) and the Virginia State Corporation Commission Bureau of Financial Institutions (the “Bureau”) called (the “Written Agreement”). At March 31, 2014, we believe we have not yet achieved full compliance with the Written Agreement but we have made progress in our compliance efforts under the Written Agreement and all of the written plans required to date, as discussed in the following paragraphs, have been submitted on a timely basis.

Under the terms of the Written Agreement, the Bank has agreed to develop and submit for approval within specified time periods written plans to: (a) strengthen board oversight of management and the Bank’s operation; (b) if appropriate after review, to strengthen the Bank’s management and board governance; (c) strengthen credit risk management policies; (d) enhance lending and credit administration; (e) enhance the Bank’s management of commercial real estate concentrations; (f) conduct ongoing review and grading of the Bank’s loan portfolio; (g) improve the Bank’s position with respect to loans, relationships, or other assets in excess of $1 million which are now or in the future become past due more than 90 days, which are on the Bank’s problem loan list, or which are adversely classified in any report of examination of the Bank; (h) review and revise, as appropriate, current policy and maintain sound processes for maintaining an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses; (i) enhance management of the Bank’s liquidity position and funds management practices; (j) revise its contingency funding plan; (k) revise its strategic plan; and (l) enhance the Bank’s anti-money laundering and related activities.

In addition, the Bank has agreed that it will: (a) not extend, renew, or restructure any credit that has been criticized by the Reserve Bank or the Bureau absent prior board of directors approval in accordance with the restrictions in the Written Agreement; (b) eliminate all assets or portions of assets classified as “loss” and thereafter charge off all assets classified as “loss” in a federal or state report of examination, unless otherwise approved by the Reserve Bank.

Under the terms of the Written Agreement, both the Company and the Bank have agreed to submit capital plans to maintain sufficient capital at the Company, on a consolidated basis, and the Bank, on a stand-alone basis, and to refrain

from declaring or paying dividends without prior regulatory approval. The Company has agreed that it will not take any other form of payment representing a reduction in the Bank’s capital or make any distributions of interest, principal, or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without prior regulatory approval. The Company may not incur, increase or guarantee any debt without prior regulatory approval and has agreed not to purchase or redeem any shares of its stock without prior regulatory approval.

Under the terms of the Written Agreement, the Company and the Bank have appointed a committee to monitor compliance with the Written Agreement. The directors of the Company and the Bank have recognized and unanimously agree with the common goal of financial soundness represented by the Written Agreement and have confirmed the intent of the directors and executive management to diligently seek to comply with all requirements of the Written Agreement.

NOTE 4

CAPITAL:

Capital Requirements and Ratios

The Company and the Bank are subject to various capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and, possibly, additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of March 31, 2014, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of March 31, 2014, the Bank was well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Company’s and Bank’s category.

The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the table as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Management evaluates securities for other than temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and 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 conditions and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. No securities had an other than temporary impairment.

The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities at March 31, 2014, by contractual maturity, are shown in the following schedule. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Company categorizes loans receivable into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans and leases individually by classifying the loans receivable as to credit risk. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass - Loans in this category are considered to have a low likelihood of loss based on relevant information analyzed about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt and other factors.

Special Mention - Loans in this category are currently protected but are potentially weak, including adverse trends in borrower’s operations, credit quality or financial strength. Those loans constitute an undue and unwarranted credit risk but not to the point of justifying a substandard classification. The credit risk may be relatively minor yet constitute an unwarranted risk in light of the circumstances. Special mention loans have potential weaknesses which may, if not checked or corrected, weaken the loan or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard - A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt; they are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - Loans classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified Substandard, plus the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans receivable was as follows:

In determining the amount of our allowance, we rely on an analysis of our loan portfolio, our experience and our evaluation of general economic conditions, as well as the requirements of the written agreement and other regulatory input. If our assumptions prove to be incorrect, our current allowance may not be sufficient to cover future loan losses and we may experience significant increases to our provision.

In determination of the allowance for loan losses, management considers troubled debt restructurings and subsequent defaults in these restructurings in its estimate. The Company evaluates all troubled debt restructurings for possible further impairment. As a result, the allowance may be increased, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the allowance, or charge-offs may be taken to further writedown the carrying value of the loan.

NOTE 9

EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Basic earnings per share computations are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year. Dilutive earnings per share reflect the additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may be issued relate to outstanding options and common stock warrants are determined by the Treasury method. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, potential common shares of 2,638,666 and 2,710,783, respectively, were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation.

TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES AND DEFERRAL OF INTEREST PAYMENTS:

On September 27, 2006, the Company completed the issuance of $5.2 million in floating rate trust preferred securities offered by its wholly owned subsidiary, NPB Capital Trust 2. The proceeds of the funds were used for general corporate purposes, which include capital management for affiliates and the acquisition of two branch banks. The securities have a floating rate of 3 month LIBOR plus 177 basis points, which resets quarterly, with a current rate at March 31, 2014 of 2.01%.

On July 7, 2004, the Company completed the issuance of $11.3 million in floating rate trust preferred securities offered by its wholly owned subsidiary, NPB Capital Trust I. The proceeds of the funds were used for general corporate purposes which included capital management for affiliates, retirement of indebtedness and other investments. The securities have a floating rate of 3 month LIBOR plus 260 basis points, which resets quarterly, with a current rate at March 31, 2014 of 2.84%.

Under the terms of the subordinated debt transactions, the securities mature in 30 years and are redeemable, in whole or in part, without penalty, at the option of the Company after five years. Due to the ability to defer interest and principal payments for 60 months without being considered in default, the regulatory agencies consider the trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital up to certain limits.

In October 2009, a restriction to pay dividends from the Bank to the Company was issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. As a result, dividends on trust preferred securities issued by the Company shall be deferred until such restriction is removed. This deferral is for a period of 60 months, and could potentially continue until the 1^st quarter of 2015. Dividends in arrears on the trust preferred securities were $2.1 million and $2.0 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively and are included in accrued interest payable on the balance sheets.

NOTE 11

FAIR VALUES:

The financial reporting standard, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available-for-sale investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans and other real estate acquired through foreclosure).

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures also establishes fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an exchange market, as well as U. S. Treasury, other U. S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain derivative contracts and impaired loans.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. For example, this category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained residual interests in securitizations, residential mortgage servicing rights, and highly structured or long-term derivative contracts.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale - Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices. The Company’s available-for-sale securities, totaling $81.1 million and $79.1 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, are the only assets whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs from an independent pricing service.

Loans - The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. Real estate serves as collateral on a substantial majority of the Company’s loans. From time to time a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans which are deemed to be impaired and require a reserve are primarily valued on a non-recurring basis at the fair values of the underlying real estate collateral. Such fair values are obtained using independent appraisals, which management evaluates and determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, or an appraised value does not include estimated costs of disposition and management must make an estimate, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3. The aggregate carrying amounts of impaired loans carried at fair value were $37.3 million and $37.0 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Foreclosed Assets - Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of the carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent observable market prices or appraised values of the collateral with a third party estimate of disposition costs, which the Company considers to be level 2 inputs. When the appraised value is not available, management determines the fair value of the collateral if further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, or an appraised value does not include estimated costs of disposition and management must make an estimate, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3. The aggregate carrying amounts of foreclosed assets were $14.9 million and $15.9 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows as of March 31, 2014 (for purpose of this table the impaired loans are shown net of the related allowance):


(Dollars are in thousands)	Quoted market price in active markets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate the value is based upon the characteristics of the instruments and relevant market information. Financial instruments include cash, evidence of ownership in an entity, or contracts that convey or impose on an entity that contractual right or obligation to either receive or deliver cash for another financial instrument.

The following summary presents the methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments presented below. The information used to determine fair value is highly subjective and judgmental in nature and, therefore, the results may not be precise. Subjective factors include, among other things, estimates of cash flows, risk characteristics, credit quality, and interest rates, all of which are subject to change. Since the fair value is estimated as of the balance sheet date, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid upon settlement or maturity on these various instruments could be significantly different.

The following presents the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. The carrying value of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits, deposits with no stated maturities, trust preferred securities and accrued interest approximates fair value. The remaining financial instruments were valued based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at various rates in effect for similar instruments during the months of March 2014 and December 2013.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS:

The following is a summary of recent authoritative announcements:

The Comprehensive Income topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) was amended in June 2011. The amendment eliminated the option to present other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and required consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income. The amendments were applicable to the Company January 1, 2012 and have been applied retrospectively.

In December 2011, the topic was further amended to defer the effective date of presenting reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements while the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) redeliberated the presentation requirements for the reclassification adjustments. In February 2013, the FASB further amended the Comprehensive Income topic clarifying the conclusions from such redeliberations. Specifically, the amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments do require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, in certain circumstances an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income. The amendments were effective for the Company on a prospective basis for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2013. These amendments did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2013, the FASB amended the Master Glossary of the FASB Codification to define “Public Business Entity” to minimize the inconsistency and complexity of having multiple definitions of, or a diversity in practice as to what constitutes, a nonpublic entity and public entity within U.S. GAAP. The amendment does not affect existing requirements, however will be used by the FASB, the Private Company Council (“PCC”), and the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) in specifying the scope of future financial accounting and reporting guidance. The Company does not expect this amendment to have any effect on its financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB amended the Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors subtopic of the Codification to address the reclassification of consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate upon foreclosure. The amendments clarify the criteria for concluding that an in substance repossession or foreclosure has occurred, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. The amendments also outline interim and annual disclosure requirements. The amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Companies are allowed to use either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method when adopting this update. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

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

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

Caution About Forward Looking Statements

We make forward looking statements in this quarterly report that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward looking statements include statements regarding our profitability, liquidity, allowance for loan losses, interest rate sensitivity, market risk, business strategy, and financial and other goals. The words “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or other similar words or terms are intended to identify forward looking statements.

Certain information contained in this discussion may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements contain the Company’s expectations, plans, future financial performance, and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by phrases such as “the Company expects,” “the Company believes” or words of similar importance. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks including, but not limited to, changes in general economic and business conditions, interest rate fluctuations, competition within and from outside the banking industry, new products and services in the banking industry, risk inherent in making loans such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values, problems with technology utilized by the Company, changing trends in customer profiles and changes in laws and regulations applicable to the Company. Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Because of these uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward looking statements. In addition, our past results of operations do not necessarily indicate our future results.

Written Agreement

The Company and the Bank entered into a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions. Under this Agreement, the Bank has agreed to develop and submit for approval within specified time periods written plans to: (a) strengthen board oversight of management and the Bank’s operation; (b) if appropriate after review, to strengthen the Bank’s management and board governance; (c) strengthen credit risk management policies; (d) enhance lending and credit administration; (e) enhance the Bank’s management of commercial real estate concentrations; (f) conduct ongoing review and grading of the Bank’s loan portfolio; (g) improve the Bank’s position with respect to loans, relationships, or other assets in excess of $1 million which are now or in the future become past due more than 90 days, which are on the Bank’s problem loan list, or which are adversely classified in any report of examination of the Bank; (h) review and revise, as appropriate, current policy and maintain sound processes for maintaining an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses; (i) enhance management of the Bank’s liquidity position and funds management practices; (j) revise its contingency funding plan; (k) revise its strategic plan; and (l) enhance the Bank’s anti-money laundering and related activities.

In addition, the Bank has agreed that it will: (a) not extend, renew, or restructure any credit that has been criticized by the Reserve Bank or the Bureau absent prior board of directors approval in accordance with the restrictions in the Agreement; (b) eliminate all assets or portions of assets classified as “loss” and thereafter charge off all assets classified as “loss” in a federal or state report of examination, which has been done.

The Company and the Bank have agreed to submit capital plans to maintain sufficient capital at the Company, on a consolidated basis, and the Bank, on a stand-alone basis, and to refrain from declaring or paying dividends without prior regulatory approval. The Company has agreed that it will not take any other form of payment representing a reduction in the Bank’s capital or make any distributions of interest, principal, or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without prior regulatory approval. The Company may not incur, increase or guarantee any debt without prior regulatory approval and has agreed not to purchase or redeem any shares of its stock without prior regulatory approval.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company and the Bank have appointed a committee to monitor compliance. The directors of the Company and the Bank have recognized and unanimously agree with the common goal of financial soundness represented by the Agreement and have confirmed the intent of the directors and executive management to diligently seek to comply with all requirements of the Written Agreement.

Written Agreement Progress Report

At March 31, 2014, we believe we have not yet achieved full compliance with the Agreement but we have made progress in our compliance efforts under the Agreement. We are aggressively working to comply with the Agreement and have timely submitted each required plan by its respective deadline. We have worked with independent consultants to assist us in these efforts and the following actions have taken place:

With regard to corporate governance, we have established a weekly Director’s Loan Committee to oversee all loan approvals and all loan renewals, extensions and approvals for loans risk rated Special Mention or worse, as well as, exposures exceeding the Chief Credit Officer’s lending authority. This has enabled the Board to increase its oversight of the Bank’s largest credit exposures and problem credits, and enhanced the monitoring and compliance with all loan policies and procedures. Secondly, we have enhanced our reporting of credit quality to the board. Furthermore, we have adopted formal charters for our Nominating, Compliance, Compensation, and Loan Committees. A corporate governance policy was adopted by the Board of Directors on April 23, 2012.

The requirement to assess the Board and management has been completed by an independent party. A report has been issued to the Board and recommendations are being followed. In September 2010, our President and CEO was added as a member of the Board and in November 2010, Eugene Hearl was added as a member of the Board. Mr. Hearl has over 40 years banking experience as President and CEO for two community banks and Regional President of a large regional financial institution.

In addition, training is a key initiative of both the Board of Directors and employees. Further training of the Board and employees has been implemented and will be ongoing.

A formal management succession plan has been developed and approved by the Board of Directors.

In the month of September 2010, a newly revised strategic plan and a capital plan were completed and submitted to our regulators. The 2011 Budget was submitted to our regulators in the fourth quarter of 2010. The 2012 Budget was submitted to our regulators also in the fourth quarter of 2011. The 2013 Budget was submitted to our regulators in January 2013. A revised 2013 Budget was submitted to our regulators in the third quarter of 2013.

A revised strategic plan for the years 2013 through 2015 was completed and submitted to the regulators in January 2013.

A new strategic plan for the years 2014 through 2016 and the 2014 Budget were submitted to our regulators in the fourth quarter of 2013. A newly revised 2014-2016 capital plan has been submitted for regulatory review and is pending approval.

In September 2012, we converted notes payable to two of our directors totaling $5.5 million plus accrued interest of $272 thousand to common stock. As a result of the conversion, New Peoples returned to well capitalized status at September 30, 2012.

In accordance with our capital plan, we began a common stock offering in July 2012 to existing shareholders followed by an offering to the public during the third and fourth quarters of 2012. The offering was closed on December 20, 2012 and proceeds of $12,061,257 were received on December 28, 2012. Upon receipt of the proceeds we injected $7.0 million of capital into the Bank. The remaining net proceeds are held at the Company and will be used for payment of operating expenses and, when permitted by regulatory authorities, the payment of deferred trust preferred interest. The remaining additional cash may be used for future capital injections, if needed; thus, providing a source of strength at the holding company level for the Bank. Because the trust preferred interest deferral period ends in the first quarter 2015 (see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), accrued interest becomes due then. Although the Company has sufficient funds on hand at present to pay the deferred interest and avoid default, a decision of the regulatory authorities to permit payment is required and cannot be assured at this time. In addition, the conversion of the director notes to common stock and the recent stock offering included common stock warrants that may be exercised through December 2017 and potentially provide additional capital if, and when, they are exercised. A total of 2,364,142 common stock warrants were outstanding as of March 31, 2014 with an exercise price of $1.75. Assuming all of these warrants are exercised before expiration, then an additional $4.1 million in capital would be provided by their exercise.

Loan policies have been revised; an online approval and underwriting system for loans has been implemented; underwriting, monitoring and management of credits and collections have been enhanced; frequency of external loan reviews increased; and the focus on problem loans intensified at all levels in the organization. As a result,

we are more timely in identifying problem loans. In the future, continuing these procedures should strengthen asset quality substantially. Further training of lending personnel is ongoing regarding proper risk grading of credits and identification of problem credits.

Enhanced loan concentration identification and new procedures for monitoring and managing concentrations have been implemented. Loan concentration targets have been established and efforts continue to reduce higher risk concentrations. In particular, construction and development loans and commercial real estate loans have been reduced and continue to decrease toward acceptable levels as determined by the new policies.

To strengthen management of credit quality and loan production, we added a new Chief Credit Officer, Stephen Trescot, in the first quarter of 2011 who brought vast credit administration experience to our management team. Sharon Borich, our former Chief Credit Officer, assumed the role of Senior Lending Officer with oversight of loan production and business development which is her area of expertise. On February 28, 2014, Stephen Trescot retired as Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of the Bank. Karen Wimmer was appointed as Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of the Bank effective March 1, 2014. Ms. Wimmer previously served as Senior Vice President and Senior Credit Officer of the Bank since the fourth quarter of 2012 in which she reported directly to Mr. Trescot. Ms. Wimmer has a total of 26 years of banking experience. Mr. Trescot will continue to provide consulting services to the Bank on a contractual basis.

In addition to new lending policies and procedures, the management of all real estate development projects and draws has been centralized. We have segregated the duties of lenders for greater specialization of commercial and retail lending responsibilities. As a result we have formed a Commercial Loan division that is supervised by the Senior Vice President and Senior Lending Officer. The retail loans are primarily the responsibility of branch personnel who report to branch managers and respective area managers.

The credit analysis function has been restructured and is a part of credit administration. The credit analysis function is led by a Vice President/Senior Analyst, who supervises two analysts, of which, one analyst is a CPA. The function reports directly to the Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer and is responsible for analyzing new and renewed loan relationships of $250 thousand or more prior to approval and conducting annual financial reviews of loan relationships of $500 thousand or more.

The appraisal review function, consisting of two Vice Presidents, one of which is an experienced licensed appraiser, and one administrative assistant, also reports directly to the Chief Credit Officer. The appraisal review function reviews the quality of appraisals on behalf of the Bank by reviewing the methods, assumptions, and value conclusions of internal and external appraisals. In addition, this data is used to determine whether an external appraiser should be utilized for future work.

We have retained an independent third party to perform loan reviews on a quarterly basis in 2010 and 2011 and engaged them to perform this function in June 2012 and December 2012. We engaged them to perform this function in June 2013, December 2013, June 2014 and December 2014. The third party loan review company has also conducted two loan portfolio stress tests for the Bank to obtain a better understanding of potential loan losses over a two year period. In 2013, we began conducting our own loan portfolio stress test.

To support the focus on problem credit management the Bank further developed, in March, 2011, a Special Assets department which reports to the Chief Credit Officer. Presently, the department has one workout specialist/Vice President, one collector managing other real estate owned properties, a collections supervisor/Vice President, and two support personnel, exclusive of legal department staff. Substantially all the credits in the Bank which are risk rated Substandard or worse are assigned to this department once all efforts to return the credit to a satisfactory rating have been exhausted. This department is organizationally structured to manage workout situations, collections, other real estate owned, nonperforming assets, and relevant watch list credits. Also as a functioning part of this department is the Bank’s legal department which is co-managed by the Chief Credit Officer and the Chief Executive Officer depending upon the legal issue being addressed. New reporting and monitoring is conducted monthly by this division. Material changes to Special Asset credits are reported to the Board at the time of occurrence and, quarterly, the Board receives written action plans and status updates on all problem credits in excess of $1.0 million. A quarterly management watch list committee has been established to actively manage and monitor these credits. Recently an experienced real estate broker was employed under an independent contract basis to facilitate the Bank’s need to substantially reduce its OREO portfolio. The consultant/broker is individually reviewing each OREO property for possible pricing reductions or potential marketing opportunities to allow for an accelerated sale process.

A new allowance for loan loss model was implemented and reviewed independently during 2010. The Board has approved a new allowance for loan loss policy. We have shifted duties for maintaining the allowance for loan

loss model and credit reporting to a more experienced employee. The allowance for loan loss and the methodology supporting the results are approved quarterly by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and ratified by the Board.

10.

We have significantly increased our asset based liquidity sources throughout 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 to meet financial obligations. A new liquidity risk management policy has been adopted and a revised contingency funding plan has been created. We have lost all of our federal funds lines of credit, but we have added an internet certificate of deposit funding source to increase contingent funding sources. We believe that we have adequate liquidity in normal and stressed situations. We are further developing an investment portfolio, as well. The investment portfolio has grown to $81.1 million at March 31, 2014 from $4.7 million at December 31, 2010.

11.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, we ceased the declaration of dividends from the Bank to the Company. We also deferred interest payments on our trust preferred securities issuances.

12.

Anti-money laundering and bank secrecy act programs and training have been enhanced.

Overview

The Company had a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 of $72 thousand as compared to net income of $147 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Basic net loss per share was $0.00 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as compared to basic net income per share of $0.01 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 is primarily the results of decreased interest income and an increase in other real estate owned expenses when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

In the first quarter of 2014, our net interest margin was 3.78%, as compared to 3.96% for the same period in 2013 due to the decrease in net interest income of $523 thousand during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 primarily related to a decreased loan portfolio, continued high level of nonperforming assets, and new loans being booked at lower interest rates. In addition, our cost of funds has decreased; however, this decrease has been at a slower pace than the decrease in interest income.

Total deposits increased $11.2 million from $619.0 million at December 31, 2013 to $630.2 million at March 31, 2014 as we have experienced an increase in noninterest bearing core deposits and savings deposits, which offset a decrease in time deposits due to the interest rate environment which is helping us lower our cost of funds.

Total assets increased $11.8 million, or 1.72%, to $696.5 million at March 31, 2014 from $684.7 million at December 31, 2013. This increase was due primarily to the cash increase as a result of the increase in total deposits of $11.2 million. We foresee total assets to maintain around current levels in the near future as we manage to maintain the level of earning assets and continue to improve net income.

At March 31, 2014, the Company remains well-capitalized. The Tier 1 leverage ratio was 7.41% at March 31, 2014, compared to 7.40% at December 31, 2013. The Tier 1 risk based ratio was 12.86% at March 31, 2014, compared to 12.53% at December 31, 2013. The Total risked based capital ratio was 14.74% at March 31, 2014, compared to 14.39% at December 31, 2013.

At March 31, 2014, the Bank also remains well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. The following ratios existed at March 31, 2014 for the Bank: Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.53%, Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of 13.07%, and Total risk based capital ratio of 14.34%. The ratios were as follows at December 31, 2013: Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.49%, Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of 12.69%, and Total risk based capital ratio of 13.96%.

Total loans decreased $10.3 million, to $482.7 million at March 31, 2014 from $493.0 million at year end 2013. This is the result of decreased loan demand, charge offs of $914 thousand for the first quarter of 2013, resolution of problem loans, and tighter underwriting guidelines. We continue to serve our customers by renewing existing credits and pursuing new loans to qualified borrowers. We anticipate some further decreases in the loan portfolio in the near future as we continue our efforts to decrease nonperforming loans. However, lending personnel are focused on developing new and existing lending relationships which should continue to slow the pace of the reduction and maintain current levels in total loans subject, of course, to the impact of the underperforming economy and heightened competition in the banking industry.

Although asset quality is improving, nonperforming assets are higher than we desire as a result of the prolonged deterioration of the residential and commercial real estate markets, as well as the recessionary period. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets lowered to 6.21% at March 31, 2014 as compared to 6.45% at December 31, 2013. Nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned and past due loans greater than 90 days still accruing interest, decreased to $43.2 million at March 31, 2014 from $44.2 million at December 31, 2013, a reduction of $942 thousand, or 2.13%. The majority of these assets are loans secured by commercial real estate, residential mortgages,

and farmland and other real estate owned properties. We are undertaking extensive and more aggressive efforts to work out these credits and liquidate foreclosed properties which we believe will accelerate a reduction of nonperforming assets. Our goal is to reduce the nonperforming assets at a minimal impact to earnings and capital; however, we may recognize some losses and reductions in the allowance for loan loss as we expedite the resolution of these problem assets. In the first quarter of 2014, net charge offs were $884 thousand as compared to $2.4 million in the same period of 2013. Net charge offs for the first three months of 2014 were related to real estate residential, construction, commercial and farmland loans with collateral values that are dependent upon current market and economic conditions when these are ascertainable. Delinquencies also showed improvement in the first three months of 2014 as total past dues decreased to $26.8 million at March 31, 2014 from $30.7 million at December 31, 2013, an improvement of $3.9 million, or 12.54% decrease.

We have continued our progress in identifying the risks in our loan portfolio and strengthening asset quality. In addition, we have continued to improve our lending policies and train our lending staff on these policies and procedures. Each of these steps is critical to minimize future losses and to strengthen asset quality of the Bank. Our allowance for loan loss at March 31, 2014 is $12.2 million, or 2.53% of total loans as compared to $13.1 million, or 2.65% of total loans at December 31, 2012. No provision for loan losses was recorded during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to $550 thousand in the same period for 2013. The allowance for loan losses is being maintained at a level that management deems appropriate to absorb any potential future losses and known impairments within the loan portfolio whether or not the losses are actually ever realized. We continue to modify the allowance for loan loss model to best reflect the risks in the portfolio and the improvements made in our internal policies and procedures; however, future provisions may be deemed necessary. Impaired loans decreased $205 thousand, or 0.50%, to $41.0 million with an estimated allowance of $3.6 million for potential losses at March 31, 2014 as compared to $41.2 million in impaired loans with an estimated allowance of $4.2 million at the end of 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies

For discussion of our significant accounting policies see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. Our most critical accounting policies relate to our provision for loan losses and the calculation of our deferred tax asset and valuation allowance.

The provision for loan losses reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our borrowers were to further deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, our estimates would be updated, and additional provisions could be required. For further discussion of the estimates used in determining the allowance for loan losses, we refer you to the section on “Provision for Loan Losses” below.

Our deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. If all or a portion of the net deferred tax asset is determined to be unlikely to be realized in the foreseeable future, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the net deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. For further discussion of the deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, we refer you to the section on “Deferred Tax Asset and Income Taxes” below.

Balance Sheet Changes

At March 31, 2014, total assets were $696.5 million, an increase of $11.8 million, or 1.72%, over December 31, 2013. Total deposits increased $11.2 million, or 1.81%, for the first three months of 2014 to $630.2 million from $619.0 million at December 31, 2013. Total loans decreased $10.3 million, or 2.08%, to $482.7 million at March 31, 2014 from $493.0 million at December 31, 2013.

Core deposits increased as noninterest bearing deposits increased 6.00%, or $8.3 million, from $137.7 million at December 31, 2013 to $146.0 million at March 31, 2014. Overall, we continue to maintain core deposits through attractive consumer and commercial deposit products and strong ties with our customer base and communities. We experienced an increase of $1.6 million in interest bearing demand deposits during the first three months of 2014. We continue our efforts to increase core deposit levels

We experienced an increase of $8.6 million in savings deposits and a decrease in time deposits of $7.2 million during the first three months of 2014. The decrease in time deposits, our highest cost deposit funding source, is attributed to our plan to decrease higher cost deposits in order to improve earnings and increase capital ratios. This is the result of decreased interest rates offered in this very low interest rate environment.

We are working to increase demand and savings deposits as we further optimize our branch network and develop our customer relationships. We believe there are opportunities for this segment of deposit growth. We also expect to continue to lose higher cost deposits in the near future, but at a decreased pace than in the past. However, we monitor deposits to ensure that we maintain adequate liquidity levels, and believe we have adequate liquidity.

Total loans decreased to $482.7 million at March 31, 2014 from $493.0 million at year end 2013 primarily as the result of decreased loan demand, charge offs of $914 thousand for the first three months of 2014, foreclosures, and tighter underwriting guidelines. We plan to maintain the level of the loan portfolio as we reduce certain risks to various industry sectors that have posed higher risks in recent times and resolve nonperforming loans, while we increase lower risk loan production that offsets the reductions as mentioned. We remain committed to serving our customers. Our lending personnel continue to receive training to meet the needs of our customers and to develop new business with qualified borrowers that will ensure a stronger loan portfolio in the future.

Other real estate owned decreased $1.0 million to $14.9 million at March 31, 2014 from $15.9 million at December 31, 2013. We anticipate total other real estate owned to increase in the near future as we foreclose on real estate collateralized loans. All properties are available for sale by commercial and residential realtors under the direction of our Special Assets division. During the first three months of 2014, we acquired $620 thousand in other real estate owned as a result of settlement of foreclosed loans, which was offset by sales of $759 thousand of our properties with losses of $33 thousand realized as a result of the sales. We also recorded writedowns on other real estate owned properties in the amount of $465 thousand for the first three months of 2014 resulting from current valuations and estimated liquidation discounts relative to market conditions. Future sales of these properties are contingent upon an economic recovery; consequently, it is difficult to estimate the duration of our ownership of these assets. We are taking a more aggressive approach toward liquidating properties to reduce our level of foreclosed properties. We have designated employees and contracted with a real estate broker to monitor other real estate owned properties to ensure proper fair market values of these assets, to ensure that maintenance and improvements are made to make these properties more marketable, and to market the properties for sale.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

The Company’s primary source of income, net interest income decreased $523 thousand, or 8.35%, to $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2014 from $6.3 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease in net interest income is due primarily to a reduction in loans during the first three months of 2014, decreased interest income from new and renewed loans recorded at lower interest rates, and the level of nonearning assets, i.e. nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned properties. Nonaccrual loans were $28.4 million at March 31, 2014, which negatively affects the net interest margin as these loans are nonearning assets. Loan interest income decreased $865 thousand, or 11.93%, from $7.3 million for the first three months of 2013 to $6.4 million for the first three months of 2014 as the volume or loans has decreased and loans are being priced or repriced at lower interest rates due to market conditions. Interest expense decreased $206 thousand, or 16.31%, from $1.3 million for the first three months of 2013 to $1.1 million for the first three months of 2014 as a result of deposits re-pricing at lower interest rates at maturity, and a shift in the deposit mix whereby our higher cost time deposits were replaced with lower cost deposit products. As a result our net interest margin decreased to 3.78% in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to 3.96% for the same period in 2013. We are trying to preserve the net interest margin, but we may experience some decrease in the net interest margin as new and renewed loans are sometimes priced at lower market interest rates and as opportunities decrease to lower our cost of funds since repricing of deposits will be close to existing interest rates in the future. Because of the tightening of our underwriting, loan pricing may be lower than historically; however, typically more conservative underwriting reduces the likelihood of future loan losses. Loan losses negatively impact earnings through various related expenses, for example, loan loss provisions, collection expenses, etc.

With regard to recognition of interest income on impaired loans, interest income and cash receipts on impaired loans are handled differently depending on whether or not the loan is on nonaccrual status. If the impaired loan is not on nonaccrual status, then the interest income on the loan is computed using the effective interest method. If there is serious doubt about the collectability of an impaired loan, it is the Bank’s policy to stop accruing interest on a loan and classify that loan as nonaccrual under the following circumstances: (a) whenever we are advised by the borrower that scheduled payment or interest payments cannot be met, (b) when our best judgment indicates that payment in full of principal and interest can no longer be expected, or (c) when any such loan or obligation becomes delinquent for 90 days unless it is both well secured and in the process of collection. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off are reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and prospects for future contractual payments are reasonably assured. In addition, funds generated from a shrinking loan portfolio are reinvested at lower interest rates in both overnight deposits for liquidity purposes and in investment securities. If nonaccruing loans increase, it may reduce our net interest margin further.

We continue to manage our yields on assets and our costs of funds to attempt to improve the net interest margin. As mentioned earlier, our loan portfolio has decreased and as a result the interest income generated by these higher earning

assets has been redeployed into investment securities, a lower yielding asset. The overall effect is a decrease in the interest income of the Bank. As deemed appropriate, we are continuing to invest surplus overnight funds in investment securities to help increase interest income, as evidenced by a $145 thousand, or 73.60%, increase to investment interest income from $197 thousand in the first quarter of 2013 to $342 for the same period of 2014.

Although our cost of funds has decreased due to deposits repricing at lower interest rates, the rate of this decrease in interest costs is not consistent with the rate of decrease in interest income; consequently, this is causing net interest income to decrease overall.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $1.5 million for the first three months of 2014 and 2013. During the first quarter of 2014 we had $3 thousand in realized gains on the sale of investment securities as compared to $99 thousand for the same period in 2013. We expect noninterest income to remain flat throughout 2014 as a result of regulatory changes; however, we continue to seek opportunities to improve noninterest income. As a part of these efforts, NPB Insurance Services, Inc., the Bank’s subsidiary, a full-service insurance agency, began operations in the first quarter of 2013, dealing in personal and group life, property and casualty, health, and disability products.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $336 thousand, or 4.79%, to $7.4 million for the first quarter 2014 as compared to $7.0 million for the first quarter of 2013. The following are explanations of the changes in non-interest expenses for 2014 as compared to 2013.

Salaries and benefits decreased $212 thousand in the quarter-to-quarter comparison from $3.4 million at March 31, 2013 to $3.2 million for the same period in 2014. Total full time equivalent employees have decreased to 265 at March 31, 2014 from 287 at March 31, 2013, a reduction of 22, or 7.67%. We are continuing to focus on managing salary and benefits expenses.

Other real estate owned and repossessed asset expenses increased $399 thousand or 105.84%, to $776 thousand for the first quarter 2014 as compared to $377 thousand for the same period in 2013. Writedowns on other real estate owned increased $314 thousand from $151 thousand during the first quarter of 2013 to $465 thousand during the first quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2014 we had a net loss on the sale of other real estate owned property of $33 thousand compared to a net gain of $12 thousand during the same period in 2013. We reassessed the values of some of the properties in other real estate owned in 2014 and wrote down these assets to reflect current fair market values and anticipated liquidation discounts. We believe that other real estate owned write-downs may continue as we evaluate the properties in an effort to more aggressively liquidate the properties in order to reduce our levels of nonperforming assets.

Our efficiency ratio, which is defined as noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income plus noninterest income, was 101.00% for the first quarter of 2014 as compared to 90.74% for the same period in 2013. Included in this calculation are the other real estate owned write-downs which significantly and negatively impact the ratio. During the third quarter of 2013, we engaged an outside consultant to evaluate our operational efficiencies. Based on the recommendations we have begun implementing and others we plan to implement, we anticipate the efficiency ratio to improve in the future as we realize cost savings from operational improvements.

Provision for Loan Losses

The calculation of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based upon management’s judgment and analysis. The following factors are included in our evaluation of determining the adequacy of the allowance: risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, current and historical loss experience, concentrations and internal and external factors such as general economic conditions.

The allowance for loan losses decreased to $12.2 million at March 31, 2014 as compared to $13.1 million at December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2014 was approximately 2.53% of total loans as compared to 2.65% at December 31, 2013 and 2.92% at March 31, 2013. Net loans charged off for the first three months of 2014 were $884 thousand, or 0.72% of average loans, and $2.4 million, or 1.88% of average loans, for the first three months of 2013. No provision for loan losses was made during the first quarter of 2014 as compared with $550 thousand in the same period for 2013. No provisions for loan losses have been made now for four consecutive quarters ending the first quarter of 2014.

We have experienced a decrease in loan delinquencies and a slight increase in nonaccrual loans during the first three months of 2014. Loans delinquent greater than 90 days still accruing interest and loans in non-accrual status present higher risks of default and loan losses. At March 31, 2014, there were 140 loans in non-accrual status totaling $28.4 million, or

5.87% of total loans. At December 31, 2013, there were 129 loans in non-accrual status totaling $28.3 million, or 5.74% of total loans. The amounts of interest that would have been recognized on these loans were $254 thousand and $94 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There were no loans past due 90 days or greater and still accruing interest at March 31, 2014 compared to 5 loans past due 90 days or greater and still accruing interest totaling $1 thousand at year end 2013. There were $11.6 million in loans classified as troubled debt restructurings as of March 31, 2014 as compared to $12.3 million in loans classified as troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2013. Of the loans classified as troubled debt restructurings at March 31, 2014, $5.8 million were in non-accrual status, compared to $6.8 million at December 31, 2013. We do not have any commitments to lend additional funds to non-performing debtors.

Certain risks exist in the Bank’s loan portfolio. A majority of our loans are collateralized by real estate located in our market area. It is our policy to sufficiently collateralize loans to help minimize loss exposures in case of default. With the exception of real estate development type properties which have experienced more deterioration in market values, the local residential and commercial real estate market values have shown some deterioration but remain relatively stable. It is uncertain as to when or if local real estate values will be more significantly impacted. We do not believe that there will be a severely negative effect in our market area, but because of the uncertainty we deem it prudent to assign more of the allowance to these types of loans. Our market area is somewhat diverse, but certain areas are more reliant upon agriculture, coal mining and natural gas. As a result, increased risk of loan impairments is possible as the coal mining and natural gas industry have been negatively affected in the past couple of years due to layoffs and environmental legislation. We do not foresee a major impact upon the Bank unless an additional severe downturn occurs which we believe is not highly likely. We are monitoring these industries. We consider these factors to be the primary higher risk characteristics of the loan portfolio.

Commercial loans are initially risk rated by the originating loan officer. If deteriorations in the financial condition of the borrower and the capacity to repay the debt occur, along with other factors, the loan may be downgraded. This is to be determined by the loan officer. Guidance for the evaluation is established by the regulatory authorities who periodically review the Bank’s loan portfolio for compliance. Classifications used by the Bank are exceptional, very good, standard, acceptable, transitory risk, other assets especially mentioned, substandard, doubtful and loss. For the year 2013, we engaged a third party loan review firm to conduct semiannual loan reviews and have engaged them to perform this function in 2014 on a semiannual basis. Our most recent loan review was conducted in December 2013. Upon their review, loans risk ratings may change from the rating assigned by the respective lender. We have experienced fewer rating changes in more recent reviews indicating better risk identification for the loan portfolio in light of the experience from the severe recession.

In regards to our consumer loans and consumer real estate loan portfolio, the Company uses the guidance found in the Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy and as a result affects our estimate of the allowance for loan losses. Under this approach when a consumer loan or consumer real estate loan is originated, it must possess qualities of a credit risk grade of Pass for approval and will remain with the initial risk rating through maturity unless there is a deterioration in the credit quality of the loan. Subsequently, if the loan becomes contractually 90 days past due or the borrower files for bankruptcy protection, it is downgraded to Substandard and placed in nonaccrual status. If the loan is unsecured, upon being deemed Substandard, the entire loan amount is charged off.

At 90 days past due, or earlier if the customer has filed bankruptcy, for non 1-4 family residential secured loans, the collateral value less estimated liquidation costs is compared to the loan balance to calculate any potential deficiency. If there is sufficient collateral, no charge-off is necessary. If there is a deficiency, then prior to the loan becoming contractually 120 days past due, the deficiency is charged-off against the allowance for loan loss. In the case of 1-4 family residential or home equity loans, upon the loan becoming 120 days past due, a current value is obtained and after application of an estimated liquidation discount, a comparison is made to the loan balance to calculate any deficiency. Subsequently, any noted deficiency is then charged-off against the allowance for loan loss when the loan becomes contractually 180 days past due. If the customer has filed bankruptcy, then within 60 days of the bankruptcy notice, any calculated deficiency is charged-off against the allowance for loan loss. Collection efforts continue by means of repossessions or foreclosures, and upon bank ownership, liquidation ensues.

All loans classified as substandard, doubtful and loss are individually reviewed for impairment. In determining impairment, collateral for loans classified as substandard, doubtful and loss is reviewed to determine if the collateral is sufficient for each of these credits, generally through the review of the appraisal. If the appraisal is current, less than twelve months old, and has been reviewed, then if no negative information regarding the appraised value is obtained, the value is accepted, and impairment, if required is made. If the appraisal is not current, we perform a useful life review of the appraisal to determine if it is reasonable. If this review determines that the appraisal is not reasonable, then a new appraisal is ordered, in most cases. Impaired loans decreased to $41.0 million with $15.1 million requiring a valuation allowance of $3.6 million at March 31, 2014 as compared to $41.2 million with $25.2 million requiring a valuation allowance of $4.2 million at December 31, 2013. Of the $41.0 million recorded as impaired loans, $21.2 million were nonperforming loans, which includes nonaccrual loans and past due 90 days or more. Management is aggressively working to reduce the impaired credits at minimal loss.

In determining the component of our allowance in accordance with the Contingencies topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 450), we do not directly consider the potential for outdated appraisals since that portion of our allowance is based on the analysis of the performance of loans with similar characteristics, external and internal risk factors. We consider the overall quality of our underwriting process in our internal risk factors, but the need to update appraisals is associated with loans identified as impaired under the Receivables topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 310). If an appraisal is older than one year, a new external certified appraisal may be obtained and used to determine impairment. If an exposure exists, a specific allowance is directly made for the amount of the potential loss in addition to estimated liquidation and disposal costs. The evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Deferred Tax Asset and Income Taxes

Due to timing differences between book and tax treatment of several income and expense items, a deferred tax asset of $5.3 million existed at March 31, 2014 compared to $5.4 million at December 31, 2013. During the first three months of 2014 and 2013 no deferred tax asset valuation allowance was recorded. The total valuation allowance remained $6.4 million at March 31, 2014. Management reviewed the March 31, 2014 deferred tax calculation to determine the need for a valuation allowance. Based on the trend of reduced levels of earning assets and net interest income, we modified the projections of taxable income over the next three years and determined that no additional deferred tax asset valuation allowance was required. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In management’s opinion, based on a three year taxable income projection, tax strategies which would result in potential increased investment income, operational efficiencies realized through cost savings initiatives, and the effects of off-setting deferred tax liabilities, it is more likely than not that all the deferred tax assets, net of the $6.4 million allowance, would be realizable. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $16.5 million of net operating loss carryforwards which will expire in 2031 thru 2034. Management expects to utilize all of these carryforwards prior to expiration. Direct charge-offs contributed to a reduction of the tax asset and are permitted as tax deductions. In addition, writedowns on other real estate owned property are expensed for book purposes but are not deductible for tax purposes until disposition of the property. Goodwill expense also was realized for book purposes in 2011 but continues to only be tax deductible based on the statutory requirements; thus, creating a deferred tax asset. When, and if, taxable income increases in the future and during the net operating loss carryforward period, this valuation allowance may be reversed and used to decrease tax obligations in the future. Our income tax expense was computed at the normal corporate income tax rate of 34% of taxable income included in net income. We do not have significant nontaxable income or nondeductible expenses.

The Company’s tax filings for years ended 2010 through 2013 are currently open to audit under statutes of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the Virginia Department of Taxation. Our tax filings for the years ended 2010, 2011, and 2012 are currently under examination by the IRS. The results of the examination could impact the amount of our deferred tax asset, but we do not anticipate a material change if any change at all.

Capital Resources

Total capital at the end of the first quarter of 2014 was $40.1 million as compared to $40.0 million at the end of December 31, 2013. The increase was $166 thousand, or 0.42%. The Bank and the Company were both well capitalized as of March 31, 2014, as defined by the regulatory capital guidelines. The Company’s capital as a percentage of total assets was 5.76% at March 31, 2014 compared to 5.84% at December 31, 2013. Book value per common share was $1.83 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Total assets increased during the first quarter of 2014 and we anticipate sustained asset levels to be the trend in the future. Our primary source of capital comes from retained earnings. We developed a new strategic plan and capital plan in 2014. Under current economic conditions, we believe it is prudent to continue to increase capital to absorb potential losses that may occur if asset quality deteriorates further. We are aware that capital needs and requirements are affected by the level of problem assets, growth, earnings and other factors. Based upon projections, we believe retained earnings will be sufficient to provide for this economic cycle to increase capital levels. As part of our initiative to improve regulatory capital ratios, we are further reducing our nonperforming assets, and focusing on replacing this reduction with high quality loans resulting in a slight increase in the loan portfolio. Deposit growth is primarily focused on growing core deposits, which are mainly transaction accounts, commercial relationships and savings products. We are focused on improving earnings by maintaining a strong net interest margin and decreasing overhead expenses. We are fully implementing this strategy to increase capital. However, these efforts alone may not provide us adequate capital if further loan losses are realized.

No cash dividends have been paid historically and none are anticipated in the foreseeable future. Earnings will continue to be retained to build capital.

Liquidity

We closely monitor our liquidity and our liquid assets in the form of cash, due from banks, federal funds sold, and unpledged available-for-sale investments were $136.7 million at March 31, 2014, up from $116.8 million at December 31, 2013. We plan to maintain surplus short-term assets at levels adequate to meet potential liquidity needs during 2014.

At March 31, 2014, all of our investments are classified as available-for-sale, providing an additional source of liquidity in the amount of $61.4 million, which is net of those securities pledged as collateral. This will primarily serve as a source of liquidity while yielding a higher return than other short term investment options, such as federal funds sold and overnight deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank. We have increased our investment portfolio from $79.1 million at December 31, 2013 to $81.1 million at March 31, 2014. Our strategy is to manage the portfolio with future purchases that reduce price risk in a rising interest rate environment and shorten the duration of these securities to be able to invest in higher yielding loans and investments when interest rates do rise again. The decrease in fair market value resulted in a net unrealized loss of $1.1 million, a $360 thousand decrease from the net unrealized loss at December 31, 2013, which was $1.5 million, could negatively impact earnings if the investment portfolio had to be quickly liquidated.

Our loan to deposit ratio was 76.60% at March 31, 2014 and 79.65% at year-end 2013. We anticipate this ratio to remain below 80% in the future. We can further lower the ratio as management deems appropriate by managing the rate of growth in our loan portfolio and by offering special promotions to entice new deposits. This can be done by changing interest rates charged or limiting the amount of new loans approved.

Available third party sources of liquidity remain intact at March 31, 2014 which includes the following: our line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, the brokered certificates of deposit markets, internet certificates of deposit, and the discount window at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

At March 31, 2014, we had borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $5.1 million as compared to $5.4 million at December 31, 2013. None are overnight and subject to daily interest rate changes. The borrowings have a maturity date in the year 2018, but reduce in principal amounts monthly. The decrease of $300 thousand was due to regularly scheduled principal payments. We also used our line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank to issue a letter of credit for $3.0 million in 2010 and $7.0 million in 2013 to the Treasury Board of Virginia for collateral on public funds. An additional $75.5 million was available on March 31, 2014 on the $90.6 million line of credit, which is secured by a blanket lien on our residential real estate loans.

We have access to the brokered deposits market. Currently we have $2.7 million in 10 year term time deposits comprised of $3 thousand incremental deposits which yield an interest rate of 4.10%. With the exception of CDARS time deposits, we have no other brokered deposits. Though this has not been a strategy in the past, we may utilize this source in the future as a lower cost source of funds.

We are a member of an internet certificate of deposit network whereby we may obtain funds from other financial institutions at auction. We may invest funds through this network as well. Currently, we only intend to use this source of liquidity in a liquidity crisis event.

The Bank has access to additional liquidity through the Federal Reserve Bank discount window for overnight funding needs. We may collateralize this line with investment securities and loans at our discretion; however, we do not anticipate using this funding source except as a last resort.

Additional liquidity is expected to be provided by loan repayments and core deposit growth that will result from an increase in market share in our targeted trade area.

With the increased asset liquidity and other external sources of funding, we believe at the Bank level we have adequate liquidity and capital resources to meet our requirements and needs for the foreseeable future. However, liquidity can be further affected by a number of factors such as counterparty willingness or ability to extend credit, regulatory actions and customer preferences, some of which are beyond our control.

Concerning the Company’s liquidity, we have $4.3 million in cash as of March 31, 2014. These funds will be used to pay operating expenses, trust preferred interest payments (upon regulatory approval), and provide additional capital injections to the Bank, if needed. As of now, all interest payments to the trust preferred securities are deferred. In the event, trust preferred interest payments are no longer deferred, then the Company may have the cash to meet this obligation without any reliance on the Bank if capital injections in the Bank are not necessary. The current deferred liability totals $2.1 million and is anticipated to be paid in the first quarter of 2015 subject to regulatory approval.

As a result of the conversion of director notes and the common stock offering, a total of 2,370,900 common stock warrants were issued. The warrants are immediately through December 2017 at a price of $1.75 per share. During 2013, 6,758 warrants were exercised, which reduced the number of warrants outstanding at March 31, 2014 to 2,364,142. When, and if, these warrants are exercised, additional funds may be received by the Company, which provides potentially up to $4.1 million in additional liquidity and capital at the Company level. Additional contingent funding sources will be explored as available.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”) and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (our “CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively in providing reasonable assurance that (a) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (b) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II Other Information

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

There are no pending or threatened legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which the property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject that, in the opinion of management, may materially impact the financial condition of the Company.

We became aware of a lawsuit against the Bank in April 2010. This case involves a claim against the Bank by a joint venture between Bank customers, some of whom are former members of senior management, and three investors. The allegation is that the joint venture, VFI, should have priority over the Bank’s deed of trust in order for VFI’s unrecorded and unrecordable ground lease to be enforceable for its full ten year term. There are also additional claims for damages resulting from allegations that the Bank’s representatives imputed liability to the Bank based upon breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, and collaboration. The parties agreed to litigate the ground lease issue first and are now in negotiations to resolve all pending issues due to the fact that the business associated with the building has ceased and the building is vacant. Attempts to mediate this matter have been unsuccessful and a pretrial hearing was held in April 2013. On January 24, 2014 a hearing was held and in March 2014 the Judge ruled in the Bank’s favor regarding VFI’s claim of unjust enrichment and a hearing was held in April 2014 to enter an order to this effect and release the lis pendens recorded against the property, however, the Judge declined to release the lis pendens pending resolution of the last remaining claim which is constructive trust and our defenses of unclean hands, laches and mootness. Two of the three plaintiffs have withdrawn their claim in this matter. Management and Bank’s counsel believe VFI’s position is not supported by law or the facts presented.
