FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
     The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 evidences Congress’ determination that the disclosure of forward-looking information is desirable for investors and encourages such disclosure by providing a safe harbor for forward-looking statements by corporate management. This Form 10-K, including the President’s letter and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty. “Forward-looking statements” are easily identified by the use of words such as “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “confident,” and similar words that refer to a future outlook. To comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the company notes that a variety of factors could cause the company’s actual results and experiences to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the company’s forward-looking statements.
 
     The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of the company’s business include, but are not limited to, the growth of the economy, unemployment, pricing in the real estate market, interest rate movements, the impact of competitive products, services and pricing, customer business requirements, the current economic environment posing significant challenges and affecting our financial condition and results of operations, the possibility of future FDIC assessments, Congressional legislation and similar matters (including changes as a result of rules and regulations adopted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act). We caution readers of this report not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which are subject to influence by unanticipated future events. Actual results, accordingly, may differ materially from management expectations.

PART I
 
Item 1. Business.
 
History and Operations
 
     The Board of Directors of Bank of Charles Town (the "bank") caused Potomac Bancshares, Inc. ("Potomac" or the “company”) to be formed on March 2, 1994, as a single-bank holding company. To date, Potomac's only activities have involved the acquisition of the bank. Potomac acquired all of the shares of the bank’s common stock on July 29, 1994.
 
     Bank of Charles Town is a West Virginia state-chartered bank that formed and opened for business in 1871 and so is celebrating 140 years of operation in 2011. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures the bank’s deposits. The bank engages in general banking business primarily in Jefferson, Berkeley and Morgan Counties of West Virginia; Clarke, Frederick and Loudoun Counties of Virginia and Washington and Frederick Counties of Maryland. The main office is in Charles Town, West Virginia at 111 East Washington Street, with branch offices in
  • Harpers Ferry, West Virginia,
  • Kearneysville, West Virginia,
  • Martinsburg, West Virginia and
  • Hedgesville, West Virginia.
     The bank provides individuals, businesses and local governments with a broad range of banking services. These services include
  • Commercial credit lines, equipment loans, and construction financing,
  • Real estate loans, secondary market and adjustable rate mortgages,
  • Retail loan products including home equity lines of credit,
  • Checking and savings accounts for businesses and individuals and
  • Certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts.
     Online banking with bill pay and E-statements among other services are available through BCT NetTeller 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. ATMs located at each of the five offices and Touchline 24, an interactive voice response system available at 1-304-728-2424, are also available to customers 24/7. The bank initiated the formation of an ATM network with two banks in the community to provide customers of all three banks the use of 17 ATM locations free of charge in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. Use of ATMs at all Sheetz (a regional convenience store franchise) locations is also free of charge. The bank’s One Financial Center encompasses the trust and financial services department and BCT Investments. The trust department provides financial management, investment and trust services. BCT Investments provides financial management, investment and brokerage services.
 
Lending Activities
 
Credit Policies
 
     The bank offers a variety of loans for consumer and commercial purposes. Underwriting standards for all lending include
  • Sound credit analysis,
  • Proper documentation according to the bank's loan policy standards,
  • Management of loan concentrations to a single industry or with a single class of collateral,
  • Diligent maintenance of past due and nonaccrual loans and
  • A risk grading system that assists us in managing deteriorating credits on a proactive basis.
     The lending policies of the bank address the importance of a diversified portfolio and a balance between maximum yield and minimum risk. It is the bank’s policy to avoid concentrations of loans such as loans to one industry, loans to one borrower or guarantor or loans secured by similar collateral.

     The bank's loan policy designates particular loan-to-value limits for real estate loans in accordance with recommendations in Section 304 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991. As stated in the loan policy, there may be certain lending situations not subject to these loan-to-value limits and from time to time senior management of the bank may permit exceptions to the established limits. Any exceptions are sufficiently documented.
 
Real Estate Lending
 
     Loans secured by real estate are made to individuals and businesses for
  • The purchase of raw land and land development,
  • Commercial, multi-family and other non-residential construction,
  • Purchase of improved property,
  • Purchase of owner occupied one to four family residential property,
  • Lines of credit and
  • Home equity loans.
     Approximately 93% of the bank's loans are secured by real estate. These loans had an average delinquency rate of 2.53% and a loss rate of 0.85% during 2010. The average delinquency rate and loss rate are based on comparisons to 2010 average total loans.
 
     As of December 31, 2010, aggregate dollar amounts (in thousands) in loan categories secured by real estate are as follows:
 
  • Construction and land development
      $ 24 174
  • Secured by farmland
    792
  • Secured by 1-4 family residential
    97 537
  • Secured by multifamily residential
    1 976
  • Secured by nonfarm nonresidential
    79 615
       
    $ 204 094
       
Commercial Lending
 
     Commercial loans not secured by real estate with an aggregate balance of $7.9 million at December 31, 2010 make up approximately 3.6% of the total loan portfolio. The bank’s loan policy for commercial loans including those commercial loans secured by real estate is to
  • Grant loans on a sound and collectible basis,
  • Invest the bank’s funds profitably for the benefit of shareholders and the protection of depositors and
  • Serve the legitimate credit needs of the community in which the bank is located.
 
     Average delinquency and the loss rate for commercial loans not secured by real estate were less than 1% during 2010 compared to 2010 average total loans.
 
Consumer Lending
 
     Retail loans to individuals for personal expenditures are approximately 3.1% of the bank's total loans at December 31, 2010. The aggregate balance of these loans was $6.8 million at December 31, 2010. The majority of these loans are installment loans.
 
     There is some risk in every retail loan transaction. The bank accepts moderate levels of risk while minimizing retail loan losses through careful investigation into the character of each borrower, determining the source of repayment before closing each loan, collateralizing most loans, exercising care in documentation procedures, administering an aggressive retail loan collection program, and following the retail loan policies. Loans to individuals for personal expenditures had an average delinquency rate of 0.07% and a loss rate of 0.04% in 2010 (based on comparisons to 2010 average total loans).
 
     All other loans total $436 thousand (0.20% of total loans) at December 31, 2010. These loans had no delinquency rate and no average loss rate in 2010 compared to 2010 average total loans.

Investment Activities
 
     The bank's investment policy governs its investment activities. The policy states that excess daily funds are to be invested in federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell. The daily funds are used to cover deposit draw downs by customers, to fund loan commitments and to help maintain the bank's asset/liability mix.
 
     According to the policy, funds in excess of those invested in federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell are to be invested in (1) U.S. Treasury bills, notes or bonds, (2) obligations of U.S. Government agencies or (3) obligations of the State of West Virginia and political subdivisions thereof with a rating of not less than A or fully insured bonds or (4) obligations of states other than West Virginia and political subdivisions thereof with a rating of not less than A or fully insured bonds.
 
     The policy governs various other factors including maturities, the closeness of purchase price to par, amounts that may be purchased and percentages of the various types of investments that may be held.
 
Deposit Activities
 
     The bank offers noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts and savings accounts. The bank offers automatically renewable certificates of deposit in various terms from 91 days to five years. The bank is also a participant in the CDARS program. The CDARS program offers certificates of deposit in various terms from four weeks to five years. Individual retirement accounts in the form of certificates of deposit are also available.
 
     To open a deposit account, the depositor must meet the following requirements for low risk individuals:
  • Present a valid identification,
  • Have a social security number,
  • Must be a U.S. citizen or possess evidence of legal alien status, and
  • Must be at least 18 years of age or share an account with a person at least 18 years of age.
When depositors are considered medium or high risk (i.e. out-of-state driver’s license and/or resident), additional verification requirements apply.
 
Competition
 
     As of March 4, 2010, there were 63 bank holding companies (including multi-bank and one bank holding companies) operating in the State of West Virginia. These holding companies are headquartered in various West Virginia cities and control banks throughout the State of West Virginia, including banks that compete with the bank in its market area.
 
     The bank's market area is generally defined as Jefferson County and Berkeley County, West Virginia. As of June 30, 2010, there were six banks in Jefferson County with 16 banking offices. The total deposits of these commercial banks as of June 30, 2010 were $671 million, and the bank ranked number one in total deposits with $211 million or 31.41% of the total deposits in the market at that time. The bank has two branch offices in Berkeley County. Opening in July 2001 and June 2003, these branches have 4.94% of the market share of deposits in Berkeley County where there are 11 banks with 31 banking offices.
 
     For most of the services that the bank performs, there is also competition from financial institutions other than commercial banks. For instance, credit unions, some insurance companies, and issuers of commercial paper and money market funds actively compete for funds and for various types of loans. In addition, personal and corporate trust and investment counseling services are offered by insurance companies, investment counseling firms and other business firms and individuals. Due to the geographic location of the bank's primary market area, the existence of larger financial institutions in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. influences the competition in the market area. Larger regional and national corporations continue to be increasingly visible in offering a broad range of financial services to all types of commercial and consumer customers. The principal competitive factors in the markets for deposits and loans are interest rates, either paid or charged. The chartering of numerous new banks in West Virginia and the opening of numerous federally chartered savings and loan associations has increased competition for the bank. The 1986 legislation passed by the West Virginia Legislature allowing statewide branch banking provided increased opportunities for the bank, but it also increased competition for the bank in its service area. With the beginning of reciprocal interstate banking in 1988, bank holding companies (such as Potomac Bancshares, Inc.) also face additional competition in efforts to acquire other subsidiaries throughout West Virginia.

     In 1994, Congress passed the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act. Under this Act, bank holding companies are permitted to acquire banks located in states other than the bank holding company’s home state without regard to whether the transaction is permitted under state law. Commencing on June 1, 1997, the Act allowed national banks and state banks with different home states to merge across state lines, unless the home state of a participating bank enacted legislation prior to May 31, 1997, that expressly prohibits interstate mergers. Additionally, the Act allows banks to branch across state lines, unless the state where the new branch will be located enacted legislation restricting or prohibiting de novo interstate branching on or before May 31, 1997. West Virginia adopted legislation, effective May 31, 1997, that allowed for interstate branch banking by merger across state lines and allowed for de novo branching and branching by purchase and assumption on a reciprocal basis with the home state of the bank in question. The effect of this legislation has been increased competition for West Virginia banks, including the bank.
 
Employees
 
     Potomac currently has no employees.
 
     As of March 1, 2011, the bank had 89 full-time employees and 11 part-time employees.
 
Supervision and Regulation
 
     Introduction. Potomac is a bank holding company within the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, is registered as such, and is subject to supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Board of Governors"). The Bank Holding Company Act requires Potomac to secure the prior approval of the Board of Governors before Potomac acquires ownership or control of more than five percent (5%) of the voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any institution, including another bank.
 
     As a bank holding company, Potomac is required to file with the Board of Governors annual reports and such additional information as the Board of Governors may require pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act. The Board of Governors may also make examinations of Potomac and its banking subsidiaries. Furthermore, under Section 106 of the 1970 Amendments to the Bank Holding Company Act and the regulations of the Board of Governors, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit or any provision of credit, sale or lease of property or furnishing of services.
 
     Potomac’s depository institution subsidiary is subject to affiliate transaction restrictions under federal law that limit the transfer of funds by the subsidiary bank to its respective parent and any nonbanking subsidiaries, whether in the form of loans, extensions of credit, investments or asset purchases. Such transfers by any subsidiary bank to its parent corporation or any nonbanking subsidiary are limited in an amount to 10% of the institution's capital and surplus and, with respect to such parent and all such nonbanking subsidiaries, to an aggregate of 20% of any such institution's capital and surplus.
 
     Potomac is required to register annually with the Commissioner of Banking of West Virginia ("Commissioner") and to pay a registration fee to the Commissioner based on the total amount of bank deposits in banks with respect to which it is a bank holding company. Although legislation allows the Commissioner to prescribe the registration fee, it limits the fee to ten dollars per million dollars of deposits rounded off to the nearest million dollars. Potomac is also subject to regulation and supervision by the Commissioner.
 
     Potomac is required to secure the approval of the West Virginia Board of Banking before acquiring ownership or control of more than five percent of the voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any institution, including another bank. West Virginia banking law prohibits any West Virginia or non-West Virginia bank or bank holding company from acquiring shares of a bank if the acquisition would cause the combined deposits of all banks in the State of West Virginia, with respect to which it is a bank holding company, to exceed 25% of the total deposits of all depository institutions in the State of West Virginia.
 
     Depository Institution Subsidiary. The bank is subject to FDIC deposit insurance assessments. In addition to the normal FDIC insurance rates, during 2009, the FDIC imposed a 7 basis point special assessment based on June 30, 2009 deposits due on or before September 30, 2009, which amounted to $138,090 for Bank of Charles Town. In November of 2009, the FDIC required all banks to prepay premiums for the next three years, which was due on or before December 30, 2009. As a result, Bank of Charles Town has prepaid the FDIC insurance premiums of $1,661,631 for the years of 2010, 2011, and 2012. It is possible that the FDIC will impose additional assessments in the future, and the amount of these assessments could be material.

     Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve Board has issued risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies, such as Potomac. The guidelines establish a systematic analytical framework that makes regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations, takes off-balance sheet exposures into explicit account in assessing capital adequacy, and minimizes disincentives to holding liquid, low-risk assets. Under the guidelines and related policies, bank holding companies must maintain capital sufficient to meet both a risk-based asset ratio test and leverage ratio test on a consolidated basis. The risk-based ratio is determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet commitments into four weighted categories, with higher levels of capital being required for categories perceived as representing greater risk. The leverage ratio is determined by relating core capital (as described below) to total assets adjusted as specified in the guidelines. The bank is subject to substantially similar capital requirements adopted by applicable regulatory agencies.
 
     Generally, under the applicable guidelines, the financial institution's capital is divided into two tiers. "Tier 1", or core capital, includes common equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock (excluding auction rate issues) and minority interests in equity accounts or consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill. Bank holding companies, however, may include cumulative perpetual preferred stock in their Tier 1 capital, up to a limit of 25% of such Tier 1 capital. "Tier 2", or supplementary capital, includes, among other things, cumulative and limited-life preferred stock, hybrid capital instruments, mandatory convertible securities, qualifying subordinated debt, and the allowance for loan losses, subject to certain limitations, less required deductions. "Total capital" is the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.
 
     Financial institutions are required to maintain a risk-based ratio of 8%, of which 4% must be Tier 1 capital. The appropriate regulatory authority may set higher capital requirements when an institution's particular circumstances warrant.
 
     Financial institutions that meet certain specified criteria, including excellent asset quality, high liquidity, low interest rate exposure and the highest regulatory rating, are required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3%. Financial institutions not meeting these criteria are required to maintain a leverage ratio which exceeds 3% by a cushion of at least 100 to 200 basis points, and, therefore, the ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets should not be less than 4%.
 
     The guidelines also provide that financial institutions experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve Board's guidelines indicate that the Federal Reserve Board will continue to consider a "tangible Tier 1 leverage ratio" in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities. The tangible Tier 1 leverage is the ratio of an institution's Tier 1 capital, less all intangibles, to total assets, less all intangibles.
 
     Failure to meet applicable capital guidelines could subject the financial institution to a variety of enforcement remedies available to the federal regulatory authorities, including limitations on the ability to pay dividends, the issuance by the regulatory authority of a capital directive to increase capital and the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC, as well as to the measures described in the "Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991" as applicable to undercapitalized institutions.
 
     The Federal Reserve Board, as well as the FDIC, has adopted changes to their risk-based and leverage ratio requirements that require that all intangible assets, with certain exceptions, be deducted from Tier 1 capital. Under the Federal Reserve Board's rules, the only types of intangible assets that may be included in (i.e., not deducted from) a bank holding company's capital are readily marketable purchased mortgage servicing rights ("PMSRs") and purchased credit card relationships ("PCCRs"), provided that, in the aggregate, the total amount of PMSRs and PCCRs included in capital does not exceed 50% of Tier 1 capital. PCCRs are subject to a separate limit of 25% of Tier 1 capital. The amount of PMSRs and PCCRs that a bank holding company may include in its capital is limited to the lesser of (i) 90% of such assets' fair market value (as determined under the guidelines), or (ii) 100% of such assets' book value, each determined quarterly. Identifiable intangible assets (i.e., intangible assets other than goodwill) other than PMSRs and PCCRs, including core deposit intangibles, acquired on or before February 19, 1992 (the date the Federal Reserve Board issued its original proposal for public comment), generally will not be deducted from capital for supervisory purposes, although they will continue to be deducted for purposes of evaluating applications filed by bank holding companies.

     Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. On November 4, 1999, Congress adopted the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. This Act, also known as the Financial Modernization Law, repealed a number of federal limitations on the powers of banks and bank holding companies originally adopted in the 1930’s. Under the Act, banks, insurance companies, securities firms and other service providers may now affiliate. In addition to broadening the powers of banks, the Act created a new form of entity, called a financial holding company, which may engage in any activity that is financial in nature or incidental or complementary to financial activities.
 
     The Federal Reserve Board provides the principal regulatory supervision of financial services permitted under the Act. However, the Securities and Exchange Commission and state insurance and securities regulators also assume substantial supervisory powers and responsibilities.
 
     The Act addresses a variety of other matters, including customer privacy issues. The obtaining of certain types of information by false or fraudulent pretenses is a crime. Banks and other financial institutions must notify their customers about their policies on sharing information with certain third parties. In some instances, customers may refuse to permit their information to be shared. The Act also requires disclosures of certain automatic teller machine fees and contains certain amendments to the federal Community Reinvestment Act.
 
     Permitted Non-Banking Activities. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, bank holding companies may become financial holding companies and engage in certain non-banking activities. Potomac has not yet filed to become a financial holding company and presently does not engage in, nor does it have any immediate plans to engage in, any such non-banking activities.
 
     A notice of proposed non-banking activities must be furnished to the Federal Reserve and the Banking Board before Potomac engages in such activities, and an application must be made to the Federal Reserve and Banking Board concerning acquisitions by Potomac of corporations engaging in those activities. In addition, the Federal Reserve may, by order issued on a case-by-case basis, approve additional non-banking activities.
 
     The Bank. The bank is a state-chartered bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System and is subject to regulation and supervision by the FDIC and the Commissioner.
 
     Compliance with Environmental Laws. The costs and effects of compliance with federal, state and local environmental laws will not have a material effect or impact on Potomac or the bank.

     International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001 (USA Patriot Act). The International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001 (the “Patriot Act”) was adopted in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The Patriot Act provides law enforcement with greater powers to investigate terrorism and prevent future terrorist acts. Among the broad-reaching provisions contained in the Patriot Act are several designed to deter terrorists’ ability to launder money in the United States and provide law enforcement with additional powers to investigate how terrorists and terrorist organizations are financed. The Patriot Act creates additional requirements for banks, which were already subject to similar regulations. The Patriot Act authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to require financial institutions to take certain “special measures” when the Secretary suspects that certain transactions or accounts are related to money laundering. These special measures may be ordered when the Secretary suspects that a jurisdiction outside of the United States, a financial institution operating outside of the United States, a class of transactions involving a jurisdiction outside of the United States or certain types of accounts are of “primary money laundering concern.” The special measures include the following: (a) require financial institutions to keep records and report on the transactions or accounts at issue; (b) require financial institutions to obtain and retain information related to the beneficial ownership of any account opened or maintained by foreign persons; (c) require financial institutions to identify each customer who is permitted to use a payable-through or correspondent account and obtain certain information from each customer permitted to use the account; and (d) prohibit or impose conditions on the opening or maintaining of correspondent or payable-through accounts.
 
     Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. On July 30, 2002, the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, a law that addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information.
 
     Effective August 29, 2002, as directed by Section 302(a) of Sarbanes-Oxley, Potomac’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer are each required to certify that Potomac’s Quarterly and Annual Reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of Potomac’s internal controls; they have made certain disclosures to Potomac’s auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors about Potomac’s internal controls; and they have included information in Potomac’s Quarterly and Annual Reports about their evaluation and whether there have been significant changes in Potomac’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the evaluation.
 
     Troubled Asset Relief Program – Capital Purchase Program. On October 3, 2008, the Federal government enacted the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”). EESA was enacted to provide liquidity to the U.S. financial system and lessen the impact of looming economic problems. The EESA included broad authority. The centerpiece of the EESA is the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”). EESA’s broad authority was interpreted to allow the U.S. Treasury to purchase equity interests in both healthy and troubled financial institutions. The equity purchase program is commonly referred to as the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”). Management and our Board of Directors did a thorough evaluation of both the positive and negative aspects of the CPP. In the end, we came to the conclusion that, based on our strong capital position, earnings capacity, and the fact that it would dilute the earnings of existing shareholders, we would not participate in the CPP.
 
     American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”), more commonly known as the economic stimulus or economic recovery package. ARRA includes a wide variety of programs intended to stimulate the economy and provide for extensive infrastructure, energy, health, and education needs. In addition, ARRA imposes certain new executive compensation and corporate expenditure limits on all current and future TARP recipients that are in addition to those previously announced by the U.S. Treasury, until the institution has repaid the U.S. Treasury, which is now permitted under ARRA without penalty and without the need to raise new capital, subject to the U.S. Treasury’s consultation with the recipient’s appropriate regulatory agency.

     Dodd-Frank Act. On July 21, 2010, sweeping financial regulatory reform legislation entitled the “Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act” (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law. Generally, the Dodd-Frank Act is effective the day after it was signed into law, but different effective dates apply to specific sections of the law. The Dodd-Frank Act implements far-reaching changes across the financial regulatory landscape, including provisions that, among other things, will:
  • Centralize responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which will have rulemaking authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that would apply to all banks and have broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws;
  • After a three-year phase-in period which begins January 1, 2013, removes trust preferred securities as a permitted component of a holding company’s tier 1 capital;
  • Requires financial holding companies to be well-capitalized and well-managed as of July 21, 2011. Bank holding companies and banks must also be both well-capitalized and well-managed in order to acquire banks located outside their domiciled state;
  • Provides for an increase in the FDIC assessment for depository institutions with assets of $10 billion or more, increases in the minimum reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund from 1.15% to 1.35% and changes in the basis for determining FDIC premiums from deposits to assets;
  • Provides for new disclosure and other requirements relating to executive compensation and corporate governance. These disclosures and requirements apply to all public companies, not just financial institutions;
  • Permanently increases the limit for federal deposit insurance, increases the cash limit of Securities Investor Protection Corporation protection from $100,000 to $250,000 and provides unlimited federal deposit insurance until January 1, 2013 for non-interest bearing demand transaction accounts at all insured depository institutions;
  • Repeals the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits; and
  • Amends the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) to, among other things, give the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer.
     Uncertainty remains as to the ultimate impact of the Act, which could have a material adverse impact either on the financial services industry as a whole, or on Potomac’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Item 2. Properties.
 
     The bank owns the land and buildings of the main office and the branch office facilities in Harpers Ferry, Kearneysville, Martinsburg and Hedgesville. The bank also owns a lot at the corner of Route 340 and Washington Street in Bolivar that will probably be sold.
 
     The main office property is located at 111 East Washington Street, Charles Town, West Virginia. This property consists of two separate two story buildings located side by side with adjoining corridors. During 2000, the construction of the newer of these two buildings was completed. The first floor of the new building houses the bank’s One Financial Center (trust and financial services). The second floor of the new building houses certain administrative and loan offices. Both of these floors open into the older bank premises, constructed in 1967. In July of 2006, the bank completed the purchase of a property adjacent to the main office for future expansion. In early 2008, construction began on an addition to the main office facilities which was completed in 2009. The new addition houses a new drive through with five lanes (one ATM/night deposit lane and four transaction lanes), the call center, the Information Technology and Deposit Operations departments and certain administrative offices. Renovations to the existing two buildings were completed along with the addition. In September 2009, the Finance Department relocated from the leased space in Burr Industrial Park to a part of the renovated main office building.

     In October 2005 to provide additional office and storage areas, the bank leased space in Burr Industrial Park in Kearneysville, West Virginia. Currently, the leased space provides record storage facilities and a business recovery site for the bank.
 
     The Harpers Ferry branch office is located at 1366 W. Washington Street, Bolivar, West Virginia. The office is a one story brick building constructed in 1975 and renovated in 2005. There is another building on this property that existed at the time of the bank's purchase. This separate building is rented to an outside party by the bank.
 
     The branch facility at 5480 Charles Town Road, Kearneysville, West Virginia was erected in 1985. This one story brick building opened for business in April of 1985. During 1993, an addition was constructed, doubling the size of this facility. Renovation of these facilities was completed in 2006.
 
     The branch facility at 119 Cowardly Lion Drive, Hedgesville, West Virginia was erected in 2003. This one story brick building opened for business in June of 2003.
 
     The branch office at 9738 Tuscarora Pike in Martinsburg, West Virginia opened for business in July of 2001. Originally housed in a leased facility on the property, the one story brick building was completed in January 2005.
 
     There are no encumbrances on any of these properties. In the opinion of management, these properties are adequately covered by insurance.
 
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
 
     Currently, Potomac is involved in no legal proceedings.
 
     The bank is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, and in the opinion of the bank, the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will not have a material effect on the financial position or operations of the bank.

Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
 
     The following information reflects comparative per share data for the periods indicated for Potomac common stock for (a) trading values and (b) dividends. As of March 11, 2011, there were approximately 1,100 shareholders.
 
     Trading of Potomac Bancshares, Inc. common stock is not extensive and cannot be described as a public trading market. Potomac Bancshares, Inc. is on the OTC Bulletin Board Market. To gather information about Potomac in this market use Potomac’s symbol PTBS.OB. Scott and Stringfellow, Inc., and Koonce Securities Inc. are market makers for Potomac’s stock. Market makers are firms that maintain a firm bid and ask price for a given number of shares at a given point in time in a given security by standing ready to buy or sell at publicly quoted prices. Information about sales of Potomac’s stock is available on the Internet through many of the stock information services using Potomac’s symbol. Shares of Potomac common stock are occasionally bought and sold by private individuals, firms or corporations, and, in most instances, Potomac does not have knowledge of the purchase price or the terms of the purchase. The trading values for 2009 and 2010 are based on information available through the Internet. No attempt was made by Potomac to verify or determine the accuracy of the representations made to Potomac or gathered on the Internet.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
GENERAL
 
     The company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use. In addition, U. S. generally accepted accounting principles may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.
 
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
 
     The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (1) losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and are capable of estimation and (2) losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.
 
     The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful or substandard. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects that margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
 
RECENT LEGISLATION IMPACTING THE FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY
 
     On July 21, 2010, sweeping financial regulatory reform legislation entitled the “Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act” (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law. Generally, the Dodd-Frank Act is effective the day after it was signed into law, but different effective dates apply to specific sections of the law. The Dodd-Frank Act implements far-reaching changes across the financial regulatory landscape, including provisions that, among other things, will:
  • Centralize responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which will have rulemaking authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that would apply to all banks and have broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws;
     
  • After a three-year phase-in period which begins January 1, 2013, removes trust preferred securities as a permitted component of a holding company’s tier 1 capital;
     
  • Requires financial holding companies to be well-capitalized and well-managed as of July 21, 2011. Bank holding companies and banks must also be both well-capitalized and well-managed in order to acquire banks located outside their domiciled state;
     
  • Provides for an increase in the FDIC assessment for depository institutions with assets of $10 billion or more, increases in the minimum reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund from 1.15% to 1.35% and changes in the basis for determining FDIC premiums from deposits to assets;
     
  • Provides for new disclosure and other requirements relating to executive compensation and corporate governance. These disclosures and requirements apply to all public companies, not just financial institutions;
17
 

 

  • Permanently increases the $250 thousand limit for federal deposit insurance and increases the cash limit of Securities Investor Protection Corporation protection from $100 thousand to $250 thousand and provides unlimited federal deposit insurance until January 1, 2013 for non-interest bearing demand transaction accounts at all insured depository institutions;
     
  • Repeals the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits; and
     
  • Amends the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) to, among other things, give the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer.
     Uncertainty remains as to the ultimate impact of the Act, which could have a material adverse impact either on the financial services industry as a whole, or on our business. Provisions in the legislation that affect deposit insurance assessments, payment of interest on demand deposits and interchange fees could increase the costs associated with deposits as well as place limitations on certain revenues those deposits may generate. Provisions in the legislation that revoke the Tier 1 capital treatment of trust preferred securities and otherwise require revisions to the capital requirements of the Company and the Bank could require the Company and the Bank to seek other sources of capital in the future.
 
GENERAL
 
     The year 2010 was a combination of challenges and opportunities. The challenges came in the form of increased regulation, poor loan demand, unemployment concerns and very little change in the real estate market. Opportunities have presented themselves through commercial growth in the market area, a bank consolidation and a diverse customer base.
 
     The challenges the bank faces today are similar to the concerns we had at the end of 2009. Real estate has long been the driving force for the local economy. The real estate industry is still reeling from foreclosures and the effects of unemployment in the region. Although we believe the harshest realities of the real estate collapse are behind us, management is confident the recovery will be much slower than the collapse. Regulation has been and will continue to be a challenge to the bank’s operations. Increased reporting requirements and possible limitations on some fee income items are some of the issues that we deal with in the current regulatory environment. However, there are opportunities to grow the bank and its customer base.
 
     The opportunities have come mostly in the form of an emerging local economy. Several commercial facilities are either in development or planned over the next five years. Although these facilities are not being funded by the bank, they represent opportunities for employment in the market area. Inquiries into our loan products have picked up over the last several months. We are hopeful that is a sign that the local economy is turning around. One of our competitors was purchased by a larger regional bank. We believe this opens up the opportunity to provide services to customers that do not want to bank with a larger institution. One of the most exciting opportunities is the diverse customer base we are building. We have “traditional” customers that have banked with us for most of their lives and enjoy visiting our locations and interacting with our customer friendly employees. However, we are seeing increasing numbers of customers that want to bank from their business, their home or where ever they happen to be located when the need arises. Technology has given us the opportunity to reach these customers in increasing numbers. We look forward to meeting the needs of all of our customers through a combination of the best customer service and the latest technology.

NET INTEREST INCOME
 
     Overall, interest and dividend income was 7% lower in 2010 when compared with 2009 results. The particular reasons for the reduction in interest income are (1) an approximately 5% decrease in average loan balances and an eight basis point reduction in the average loan rate in 2010 compared to 2009 and (2) an 83 basis point reduction in average yield on debt securities in 2010 compared to 2009 even with an almost 20% increase in averages balances in these securities during the same period since many securities with higher yields were called. Other earning assets have changed by varying degrees but have not significantly affected interest income.
 
     Interest expense decreased 19% in 2010 compared to 2009. The decrease between 2009 and 2008 was 21%. The decreased expense in these years results from lower interest rates as balances in deposit accounts have not changed materially during the last three years. Average rates for these years are 1.68% in 2010, 2.03% in 2009 and 2.65% in 2008. The continuance of low rates is precipitated by the rates enacted by the Federal Reserve during the period.
 
     Fiscal year 2010 has proven to be as challenging as 2009. The economy does show signs of recovery but expectations continue to be cautiously optimistic. The housing market and unemployment continue to be a drag on the local economy. However, there are developments in the local economy that point toward some relief in unemployment. Macy’s is building a procurement center in Martinsburg, WV. The U.S. Customs and border patrol center in Harpers Ferry, WV continues to provide construction employment as its facilities grow. The addition of tables games at the Charles Town Races and Slots has also provided employment. Interest rates are expected to remain at current levels throughout most of 2011. Management is hopeful that interest rates and the volume of affordable housing will entice buyers back into the loan market during 2011.

NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
 
     Fees generated through the bank’s overdraft protection plan continue to be the largest single contributor to the bank’s noninterest income. These fees are included in the service charges on deposit accounts category which totaled $1.9 million for 2010, $2.2 million for 2009 and $2.3 million for 2008. Trust and financial services income, generally the second largest single contributor to noninterest income, increased in 2010 compared to 2009 due to an increase in market values which are the basis for fees. VISA/MC fees, typically the third largest single contributor to noninterest income, increased 20% in 2010 compared to 2009 due to continuing consumer comfort with electronic transactions and an increase in consumer spending throughout 2010. All other non-interest income changed to varying degrees, but no significant changes occurred in any one particular income category.
 
     Salaries and employee benefits of $4.7 million are about 48% of the total noninterest expense for 2010, a percentage of about 3% more when compared to 2009. This increase in salaries and benefits as a percentage of total noninterest expense is due to the decrease in total noninterest expense as shown by double digit decreases in almost every major noninterest expense category. During the past few years, full utilization of personnel has continued to allow the bank to hold down salaries and benefit costs by holding down the increase in personnel. As expected, pension expense decreased 90% (about $450 thousand) in 2010 compared to 2009 with freezing of the pension plan as of October 31, 2009. Also, as expected, the expense for the 401(k) plan increased 92% (about $103 thousand) in 2010 compared to 2009 since the employer match was increased in conjunction with the freezing of the pension plan. During 2011, salaries and employee benefits are expected to increase slightly. The increase involves the addition of one executive officer and the replacement of another executive officer due to retirement.
 
20
 

 

     Expenses related to premises have increased and expenses related to furniture and equipment have decreased. The increase in occupancy expense of premises is attributable to a full year of depreciation on the Donald S. Smith Financial Center addition to the main branch facility and an increase in grounds maintenance related to poor weather conditions. The reduction in furniture and equipment expense is due to the disposal and full depreciation of aging assets. During 2010, advertising and marketing expense and printing, stationery and supplies expense decreased 22.2% and 12.1%, respectively. The decrease is in line with management’s effort to control costs. The FDIC assessment decreased since there was no special assessment in 2010 and due to some reduction in the deposit base at the time of the assessments. Foreclosed property expense decreased significantly in 2010 as a result of the reduction in the costs to prepare properties for sale.
 
     The other noninterest expense category is the total of approximately 60 separate expense accounts. None of the account balances in this category exceed 1% of gross revenue of the company for any of the three years presented. Increases are due to the growth in the bank’s customer base and some inflationary increases.
 
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Cumulative Gap   $ (31 562 )   $ (49 419 )   $ 17 373   $ 105 590      
                                   
     The matching of the maturities or repricing opportunities of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which these assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive and by monitoring an institution’s interest rate sensitivity gap. An asset or liability is interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is the difference between the amount of interest earning assets that will mature or reprice within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities that will mature or reprice within the same time period.
 
     A gap is considered negative when the amount of liabilities maturing or repricing in a specific period exceeds the amount of assets maturing or repricing in the same period. An even match between assets and liabilities in each time frame is the safest position especially in times of rapidly rising or declining rates. During other times, the even match is not as critical. The advantages or disadvantages of positive and negative gaps depend totally on the direction in which interest rates are moving. An asset sensitive institution’s net interest margin and net interest income generally will be impacted favorably by rising interest rates, while that of a liability sensitive institution generally will be impacted favorably by declining interest rates.
 
21
 

 

     During the first twelve months shown in the schedule above, the company is liability sensitive, and after that time period the company is asset sensitive. During January, February and March of 2011, $31.6 million more liabilities may reprice or will mature than assets. During April through December of 2011, $17.8 million more liabilities may reprice or will mature than assets. The total effect for 2011 is that $49.4 million more liabilities may reprice or mature than assets. Since rates are not expected to change much during 2011, management will hold deposit rates steady for the most part and insert floors in loans to help guard the bank’s income.

     Due in large part to the state of the real estate market and the resulting economic conditions, the loan portfolio continued to decrease in 2010 compared to the balance at the end of 2009 as it did in 2009 compared to 2008. Guidelines for granting credit have tightened, property appraisals, in many cases, came in lower than expected and a very tentative buyers’ market have all contributed to the decline in loans.
 
     The bank is projecting and thus has budgeted for an increase in loans during 2011. The largest expected increase will be in the commercial loan portfolio with smaller increases in the other loan portfolios.
 
     There were no categories of loans that exceeded 10% of outstanding loans at December 31, 2010 that were not disclosed in the table above.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
 
     The table shown on the next page is an analysis of the company’s allowance for loan losses. Historically, net charge-offs (loans charged off as uncollectible less any amounts recovered on these loans) for the company have been very low when compared with the size of the total loan portfolio. Management continually monitors the loan portfolio with procedures that allow for problem loans and potentially problem loans to be highlighted and watched. Increases to the allowance were made in 2008 based on the increased risks assessed in the loan portfolio as a result of the housing market conditions and the economic slowdown. Substantial increases were again made to the allowance in 2009, as assessments of the loan portfolio continued to show increased risks. During 2010, 2009 and much of 2008, management has monitored the risk in the portfolio almost continually with reporting on a monthly basis compared to the quarterly reporting done previously. Based on experience, the loan policies and the current monitoring program, management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate but continues to monitor closely and to prepare reporting monthly.

     Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest income on other nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received.
 
     At December 31, 2010, other potential problem loans totaled $3.4 million. Loans are viewed as potential problem loans according to the ability of such borrowers to comply with current repayment terms. These loans are subject to constant management attention, and their status is reviewed on a regular basis.
 
SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
 
     Currently the company classifies all securities as available for sale and records these securities at fair value. If the company classified any securities as held to maturity, held to maturity securities would be recorded at amortized cost. The effect of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of tax effects, is recognized in stockholders’ equity.
 
     The schedule below summarizes the carrying value of the portfolio by maturity classifications and shows the weighted average yield in each group.

DEPOSITS
 
     Deposits decreased $7 million or 2.67% at December 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009. The bank’s noncore funding in the form of brokered certificates of deposit has decreased at December 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 by about $8.5 million. This decrease includes brokered certificates of just over $7 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $13 million at December 31, 2009 and brokered certificates of deposit through the bank’s participation in the CDARS program of $7.5 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $10 million at December 31, 2009. By comparing the decrease in brokered deposits of $8.5 million to the total deposit decrease of $7 million, we see that local or core deposits have actually increased in 2010. Reviewing these statistics with an optimistic outlook, management is hopeful that local customers are again able to save and grow our core deposits lessening the bank’s dependence on noncore funding. The bank’s market share percentage in Jefferson County has decreased while its market share percentage in Berkeley County has increased as of June 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2009. We have 31.41% of the total deposits in Jefferson County compared to 32.41% in 2009 and 4.94% of the total deposits in Berkeley County compared to 4.28% in 2009.

ANALYSIS OF CAPITAL
 
     The adequacy of the company’s capital is reviewed by management on an ongoing basis in terms of the size, composition, and quality of the company’s asset and liability levels, and consistency with regulatory requirements and industry standards. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and absorb potential losses.
 
     The Federal Reserve, the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have adopted capital guidelines to supplement the existing definitions of capital for regulatory purposes and to establish minimum capital standards. Specifically, the guidelines categorize assets and off-balance sheet items into four risk-weighted categories. The minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets is 8.0%, of which at least 4.0% must be Tier 1 capital, composed of common equity, retained earnings and a limited amount of perpetual preferred stock, less certain goodwill items. The company had a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 14.24% and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 12.97% at December 31, 2010. Both ratios exceed the capital requirements adopted by the federal regulatory agencies.

LIQUIDITY
 
     Liquidity is a measure of the Bank’s ability to respond to sudden changes in funding needs or funding sources. Examples of sudden changes could involve a sudden increase in loan demand, a funding need, or it might involve a large decrease in deposited funds, a funding source. The role of cash management is to manage assets and liabilities so that the Bank can respond to such fluctuations in sources and uses of cash. Management spends much of its time assessing our liquidity position.
 
     Management is informed of the liquidity information via reports and committee discussion. The president is provided a weekly “dashboard” report of our liquidity information. The Asset/Liability Committee reviews and discusses our liquidity position on a quarterly basis. The committee has set a benchmark minimum liquidity ratio of 15%. Management has recently worked on a strategy to free up some pledged assets for liquidity purposes.
 
     Public funds are required to have collateral pledged against their balances above the FDIC insurance limits. Generally the bank has pledged securities or obtained letters of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh to cover public funds. Two additional strategies to cover these funds are being considered. In the case of public funds in the form of CDs, the bank plans to aid customers in utilizing the CDARS network to insure their funds. We are also exploring the use of the Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) product to secure public funds. Both of the programs provide complete coverage through FDIC insurance. Most importantly, the securities that had been pledged against the public funds can be used as a source of cash if the need would arise. The securities are effectively converted from a non liquid asset to a liquid asset.
 
     Liquid assets of the company include cash and due from banks, securities purchased under agreements to resell, federal funds sold, securities available for sale, and loans and investments maturing within one year. The company’s statement of cash flows details this liquidity since January 1, 2010.
 
     Operating Activities. The company’s net income usually provides cash from the bank’s operating activities. The net income figure is adjusted for certain noncash transactions such as depreciation expense that reduces net income but does not require a cash outlay. During 2010, the net income as adjusted has provided cash of $5.1 million. Interest income earned on loans and investment securities is the company’s major income source.
 
26
 

 

     Investing Activities. Customer core deposits and company noncore funding provide the funds used to invest in loans and investment securities. In addition, the principal portion of loan payments, loan payoffs and maturity of investment securities provide cash flow. Purchases of bank premises and equipment are an investing activity. As mentioned in the section on deposits, we have taken advantage of our noncore funding capabilities since deposit growth is not always sufficient. The net amount of cash provided by investing activities in 2010 is $3.3 million.
 
     Financing Activities. Customer core deposits and company noncore funding provide the financing for the investing activities as stated above. If the company has an excess of funds on any given day, the bank will sell these funds to make additional interest income to fund activities. Likewise, if the company has a shortage of funds on any given day it will purchase funds and pay interest for the use of these funds. Financing activities also include payment of dividends to shareholders, purchase of shares of the company’s common stock for the treasury and repayment of any noncore funding. The net amount of cash used in financing activities in 2010 is $8.1 million.
 
     At December 31, 2010, cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in financial institutions, securities purchased under agreements to resell, federal funds sold and loans and securities maturing within one year were $43.9 million.
 
     Noncore funding capabilities, including borrowing, provide additional liquidity. The subsidiary bank maintains a federal funds line with one financial institution and is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. In March 2010, the subsidiary bank modified a $3 million borrowing amortizing over three years from the Federal Home Loan Bank. In July 2009 the subsidiary bank secured a credit line with the Federal Reserve discount window. At December 31, 2010, the subsidiary bank has total credit available through these institutions of approximately $27.8 million.
 
     Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk. 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. Those financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
 
     The company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
 
     A summary of the contract or notional amount of the company’s exposure to off-balance-sheet risk as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 is as follows (in thousands):
 
        2010       2009
Financial instruments whose contract            
       amounts represent credit risk:            
              Commitments to extend credit   $ 28 050   $ 29 275
              Standby letters of credit     2 225     1 646

     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 credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
 
     Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. The majority of these lines of credit is collateralized and usually contains a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the extent to which the company is committed.
 
     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The company generally holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.

     At December 31, 2010, the company had no rate lock commitments to originate mortgage loans.
 
     Short-Term Borrowings. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, short-term borrowings consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase that are secured transactions with customers. The total of short-term borrowings was $7.4 million on December 31, 2010 and $7.3 million on December 31, 2009.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
     Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates and equity prices. The company’s market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk. The company’s Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to this risk. The Board of Directors reviews and approves the guidelines established by ALCO.
 
     Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of three complimentary modeling tools: static gap analysis, earnings simulation modeling and economic value simulation (net present value estimation). Each of these models measure changes in a variety of interest rate scenarios. While each of the interest rate risk measures has limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably comprehensive view of the magnitude of interest rate risk in the company, the distribution of risk along the yield curve, the level of risk through time, and the amount of exposure to changes in certain interest rate relationships. Static gap, which measures aggregate repricing values, is less utilized since it does not effectively measure the investment options risk impact on the company and is not addressed here. But earnings simulation and economic value models, which more effectively measure the cash flow impacts, are utilized by management on a regular basis and are explained below.
 
Earnings Simulation Analysis
 
     Management uses simulation analysis to measure the sensitivity of net income to change in interest rates. The model calculates an earnings estimate based on current and projected balances and rates. This method is subject to the accuracy of the assumptions that underlie the process, but it provides a better analysis of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates than other analysis such as the static gap analysis.
 
28
 

 

     Assumptions used in this model, including loan and deposit growth rates, are derived from seasonal trends, economic forecasts and management’s outlook, as are the assumptions used to project yields and rates for new loans and deposits. Maturities, calls and prepayments in the securities portfolio are assumed to be reinvested in like instruments. Mortgage loans and mortgage backed securities prepayment assumptions are based on industry estimates of repayment speeds for portfolios with similar coupon ranges and seasoning. Different interest rate scenarios and yield curves are used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to changing interest rates. Interest rates on different asset and liability accounts move differently when the prime rate changes and are accounted for in the different rate scenarios.
 
     The most likely scenario represents the rate environment as management forecasts it to occur. From this base, rate shocks in 100 basis point increments are applied to see the impact on the company’s earnings. The following tables represent the interest rate sensitivity on net income (fully tax equivalent basis) for the company using different rate scenarios as of December 31, 2010:
 
One Year Simulation
 
    % Change in
Change in Yield Curve      Net Income
+ 200 basis points          + 8.0%       
   +   100 basis points     +   4.4%  
  Most likely       0  
- 100 basis points     - 1.5%  
- 200 basis points     - 3.5%  

Two Year Simulation
 
    % Change in
Change in Yield Curve      Net Income
   +   200 basis points          +   11.0%       
+ 100 basis points     + 6.1%  
  Most likely       0  
- 100 basis points     - 4.0%  
- 200 basis points     - 8.3%  

Economic Value Simulation
 
     Economic value simulation is used to calculate the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities over different interest rate environments. Economic values are calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis. The economic value of equity is the economic value of all assets minus the economic value of all liabilities. The change in economic value of equity over different rate environments is an indication of the longer term repricing risk in the balance sheet. The same assumptions are used in the economic value simulation as in the earnings simulation.
 
     The following chart reflects the change in net market value over different rate environments as of December 31, 2010:
 
      Change in Economic Value of Equity
Change in Yield Curve      (dollars in thousands)
   +   200 basis points     $   - 2,630  
+ 100 basis points         - 1,112

- 100 basis points       + 1,343

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Potomac Bancshares, Inc.
Charles Town, West Virginia
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Potomac Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Potomac Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

POTOMAC BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 1. Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Potomac Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary (the company) grant commercial, financial, agricultural, residential and consumer loans to customers, primarily in Jefferson, Berkeley and Morgan Counties of West Virginia; Clarke, Frederick and Loudoun Counties of Virginia and Washington and Frederick Counties of Maryland. The loan portfolio is well diversified and loans generally are collateralized by assets of the customers. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers.
 
The company also offers deposit products to the same primary market area as loans. These products include noninterest-bearing and interest bearing checking accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposit in various terms.
 
The accounting and reporting policies of the company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. The following is a summary of the more significant policies.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements of Potomac Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Charles Town (the bank), include the accounts of both companies. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of foreclosed real estate, deferred tax assets, fair value determination and the pension benefit obligation.
 
Interest-bearing Deposits in Financial Institutions
 
Interest-bearing deposits in financial institutions mature within one year and are carried at cost.
 
Securities
 
Investments in debt and equity securities with readily determinable fair values are classified as either held to maturity, available for sale, or trading, based on management’s intent. Currently all of the company’s investment securities are classified as available for sale. Available for sale securities are carried at estimated fair value with the corresponding unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Gains or losses are recognized in earnings on the trade date using the amortized cost of the specific security sold. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.
 
36
 

 

Note 1. Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Securities (Continued)
 
Impairment of securities occurs when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost. For debt securities, impairment is considered other-than-temporary and recognized in its entirety in net income if either (1) the company intends to sell the security or (2) it is more-likely-than-not that the company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If, however, the company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, the company must determine what portion of the impairment is attributable to a credit loss, which occurs when the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security. If there is credit loss, the loss must be recognized in net income and the remaining portion of impairment must be recognized in other comprehensive income. For equity securities, impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary based on the company’s ability and intent to hold the investment until a recovery of fair value. Other-than-temporary impairment of an equity security results in a write-down that must be included in net income. Management regularly reviews each investment security for other-than-temporary impairment based on criteria that includes the extent to which cost exceeds market price, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer, the best estimate of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from debt securities, its intention with regard to holding the security to maturity and the likelihood that the company would be required to sell the security before recovery.
 
Loans
 
The company grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is comprised of loans secured by real estate. The ability of the company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions of the company’s market area.
 
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff, generally, are reported at their recorded investment, which is the outstanding unpaid principal balance adjusted for the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on the originated loan. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.
 
The accrual of interest on all classes of loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. For all classes, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
 
All interest accrued but not collected for all classes of loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is 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. For these loans that are carried on nonaccrual status, payments are first applied to principal outstanding. Loans of all classes are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. For all classes of loans, approval of the Chief Lending Officer or President is required for all loans greater than 90 days past due which are not placed on nonaccrual status and for restoration of nonaccrual loans to accrual status.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
 
The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (1) losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and are capable of estimation and (2) losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.
 
37
 

 

Note 1. Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
 
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis and at least quarterly by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the economic environment, concentration and growth trends, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
 
During these evaluations, particular risk characteristics associated with a segment of the loan portfolio are also considered. These characteristics are detailed below:
  • Loans secured by farmland and commercial real estate and commercial loans not secured by real estate carry risks associated with the successful operation of a business or farm and the repayment of these loans may depend on the profitability and cash flows of the business or farm. Additional risk relates to the value of collateral other than real estate where depreciation occurs and the appraisal is less precise.
  • Real estate secured construction loans carry risks that a project will not be completed as scheduled and budgeted and that the value of the collateral may, at any point, be less than the principal amount of the loan. Additional risks may occur if the general contractor, who may not be a loan customer, is unable to finish the project as planned due to financial pressures unrelated to the project.
  • Consumer loans carry risks associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower and the value of the collateral, such as automobiles which may depreciate more rapidly than other assets. In addition, these loans may be unsecured. Consumer loans are more likely than real estate loans to be immediately affected in an adverse manner by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.
  • Residential real estate loans carry risks associated the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower and changes in the value of the collateral.
  • All other loans include loans for purchasing or carrying securities and, loans to insurance, investment and finance companies. Risks for these loans may be the successful operation of a business and risks associated with the value of collateral other than real estate which may depreciate over time, may depend on interest rates or may fluctuate in active trading markets.
The primary tool used in managing and controlling problem loans is a watch list report. The report is a listing of all loans or commitments (other than consumer and residential mortgage loans) that are considered problem loans. The report is controlled by the Credit Administrator and the President. Consumer and residential mortgage loans are included only if related to a borrower with commercial or other real estate loans on the watch list report. It is a primary responsibility of the loan officer to manage the credit risk within their loan portfolio. As such they should be proactive rather than reactive when considering adding a loan to the watch list report. Occurrence of any of the following criteria is a basis for adding a loan (other than consumer and residential mortgage loans) to the watch list report.
  • Loans classified as substandard, doubtful or loss by bank examiners, external auditors, loan officer or loan review officer based upon financial trends of the business.
  • Loans on nonaccrual status.
  • Loans more than 60 days delinquent.
  • Loans renewed or extended more than three times with little or no principal curtailment.
  • Loans judgmentally selected by executive management or the Board of Directors due to unexpected changes or events which could have a potentially adverse effect on the borrower’s ability to repay.
When a loan is added to the watch list report, both the loan officer and the Credit Administrator will estimate the need for a specific loss to be allocated in the bank’s loan loss allowance.
 
38
 

 

Note 1. Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
 
The following guidance has been given as an aid to loan officers in detecting problem loans.
  • Financial Statement Analysis – As customer financial statements are received, they should be immediately analyzed to see if there are any significant changes in the financial position or operating results.
  • Delayed Financial Statements – If we are having problems getting financial statements from a customer, a problem may be developing.
  • Delinquent Principal or Interest – Delinquencies are often the first indication of a problem. We carefully review each loan as soon as it becomes past due.
  • Marital Difficulties – Marital difficulties often cause business financial stress and are a major cause of problem loans.
  • Lack of Cooperation – It is in the borrower’s best interest to cooperate with the bank. We suspect a problem if the customer becomes uncooperative.
  • Other Red Flags – The following are additional red flags which could mean a problem loan situation is developing: illness or death of a principal or key employee, overdrafts, unexpected renewals or unanticipated new borrowing, a too high or too low inventory level in comparison to industry standards, irresponsible behavior on the part of a borrower, trade payables begin to increase abnormally and cancellation of insurance.
The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans (other than consumer and residential mortgage loans) that are classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified and special mention loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors including the economic environment, concentration and growth trends and the nature and volume of the loan portfolio. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects that margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
 
Characteristics of the bank’s risk classification grades are as follows:
  • Pass – Pass rated loans are to persons or business entities with an acceptable financial condition, appropriate collateral margins, appropriate cash flow to service the existing loan, and an appropriate leverage ratio. Borrower has paid all obligations as agreed and it is expected that this type of payment history will continue. Acceptable personal guarantors support the loan as needed.
  • Special Mention – Special Mention loans often have borrowers with an unstable financial condition and position. Industry conditions may be troubled or in the process of rapid change. Current repayment sources are adequate but are threatened by potential weakness, which if not corrected could result in loss of principal and income to the bank. Borrowers are experiencing adverse operating trends with high financial leverage. Included may be borrowers who have filed bankruptcy and are successfully operating under a plan of reorganization that is providing the bank with adequate repayment of debt.
  • Substandard – Substandard loans are situations where the bank is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the customer. Characteristics include high debt to net worth, negative cash flow, and negative debt service capacity. Collateral securing the debt may have questionable value. Loans may be placed on nonaccrual with all payments applied to the principal until such a time as borrower’s financial condition improves. Some loss of principal or income is likely.
  • Doubtful – Doubtful loans are considered partially or totally uncollectable. Customers who have filed for bankruptcy and are in the status of initial filing up to the acceptance of the reorganization plan are considered doubtful. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value. When a loan is in this category, it will also be on nonaccrual status.
  • Loss – Loans in this category are considered uncollectable and have very limited recovery value. Credits in this category will be on nonaccrual status.
39
 

 

Note 1. Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
 
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If an impaired loan is on nonaccrual status, any payments received will be applied first to principal. If an impaired loans is not on nonaccrual status, any payments received will be applied to principal and interest using usual procedures.
 
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans (consumer and residential mortgage loans) are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the company does not necessarily separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures unless these loans are related to a borrower with commercial or other real estate loans that are classified.
 
In connection with the evaluation of the collectability of all classes of loans which are greater than 90 days past due as to principal or interest for nonaccrual status, any amounts not deemed well secured or otherwise collectible shall be recommended for charge-off at that time. Additionally, charge-off consideration shall be given to loans evaluated in connection with the bank’s loan review policy and procedures and loans identified for repossession or foreclosure or meet the criteria for classification as an in-substance foreclosure. In any event, it shall be the policy of the bank to charge-off amounts deemed uncollectible in the periods when identified. All charge-off amounts greater than $25,000 will be Board ratified and amounts $25,000 or less will be approved by the Chief Lending Officer or the President.
 
Troubled Debt Restructurings
 
In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial condition, management may grant a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider, the related loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). Management strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and work with them to modify their loan to more affordable terms before their loan reaches nonaccrual status. These modified terms may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. In cases where borrowers are granted new terms that provide for a reduction of either interest or principal, management measures any impairment on the restructuring as noted above for impaired loans. There were no loans classified as TDRs as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
Loans Held for Sale
 
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or market determined in the aggregate. The company does not retain mortgage servicing rights on loans held for sale.
 
Premises and Equipment
 
Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from five to forty years for premises and improvements and three to twenty-five years for furniture and equipment.
 
Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are charged to operations and major improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and gain or loss is included in operations.
 
40
 

 

Note 1. Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Other Real Estate
 
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of the loan balance or the fair value net of estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.
 
Employee Benefit Plans
 
Summaries of company employee benefit plans are given below:
  • The noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan covering employees meeting certain age and service requirements was frozen at October 31, 2009, the end of the plan year. No more participants may enter the plan, and there will be no further increase in benefits due to increases in salaries and years of service.
  • A postretirement life insurance plan covers current and future retirees with 25 years of service over the age of 60.
  • A postretirement life insurance plan covers certain current retirees who met certain requirements. This plan is not available for future retirees.
  • A health care plan covers current retirees who met certain eligibility requirements. This plan is not available for future retirees.
  • A 401(k) retirement savings plan is available to all employees meeting certain age and service requirements. The employer match for this plan was increased with the freezing of the defined benefit plan as described above. Under this plan, the employer may make a discretionary matching contribution each plan year and may also make other discretionary contributions to the plan.
Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share represent income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury method.
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the balance sheet method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary difference 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.
 
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
41
 

 

Note 1. Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in financial institutions, securities purchased under agreements to resell and federal funds sold. Generally, securities purchased under agreements to resell and federal funds sold are purchased and sold for one-day periods.
 
One Financial Center (formerly the Trust Division)
 
Securities and other property held by One Financial Center in a fiduciary or agency capacity are not assets of the company and are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
Advertising
 
The company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.
 
Treasury Stock
 
Common shares repurchased are recorded as treasury stock at cost.
 
Comprehensive Income
 
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and changes in pension and postretirement benefit obligations, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 15. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
 
Stock-Based Compensation Plan
 
The 2003 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by stockholders on May 13, 2003. This is the first stock incentive plan adopted by the company. Under the plan, the option price cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock on the date granted. An option’s maximum term is ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under the plan may be subject to a graded vesting schedule.
 
The stockholders initially authorized up to 183,600 shares of common stock to be used in the granting of incentive and non-qualified options to employees and directors. On April 24, 2007, the shareholders authorized an additional 250,000 shares of common stock to be used in the granting of incentive and non-qualified options to employees and directors.
 
Stock option compensation expense is the estimated fair value of options granted, and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. There were no options granted in 2009 and 2010. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatility is based on the historic volatility of the company’s stock price over the expected life of the options. We have determined that the expected term for options is their contractual life of 10 years. The risk-free interest rate is the U. S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the options granted. The dividend yield is estimated as the ratio of the company’s historical dividends paid per share of common stock to the stock price on the date of grant.

Note 1. Nature of Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Transfers of Financial Assets
 
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the company—presumptively beyond reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance relating to the accounting for transfers of financial assets. The new guidance, which was issued as SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140,” was adopted into the Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) in December 2009 through the issuance of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-16. The new standard provides guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that an entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. ASU 2009-16 was effective for transfers on or after January 1, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to variable interest entities. The new guidance, which was issued as SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” was adopted into the Codification in December 2009. The objective of the guidance is to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. SFAS No. 167 was effective as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-15, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing.” ASU 2009-15 amends Subtopic 470-20 to expand accounting and reporting guidance for own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of convertible debt issuance. ASU 2009-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-04, “Accounting for Various Topics – Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs.” ASU 2010-04 makes technical corrections to existing Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidance including the following topics: accounting for subsequent investments, termination of an interest rate swap, issuance of financial statements - subsequent events, use of residual method to value acquired assets other than goodwill, adjustments in assets and liabilities for holding gains and losses, and selections of discount rate used for measuring defined benefit obligation. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, require new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements.” ASU 2010-09 addresses both the interaction of the requirements of Topic 855 with the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosures provisions related to subsequent events. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. ASU 2010-09 was effective immediately. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” The new disclosure guidance significantly expands the existing requirements and leads to greater transparency into a company’s exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements. The extensive new disclosures of information as of the end of a reporting period became effective for both interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Specific disclosures regarding activity that occurred before the issuance of the ASU, such as the allowance roll forward and modification disclosures, will be required for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The company has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.
 
On September 15, 2010, the SEC issued Release No. 33-9142, “Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In Exchange Act Periodic Reports of Non-Accelerated Filers.” This release issued a final rule adopting amendments to its rules and forms to conform them to Section 404(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), as added by Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. SOX Section 404(c) provides that Section 404(b) shall not apply with respect to any audit report prepared for an issuer that is neither an accelerated filer nor a large accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Release No. 33-9142 was effective September 21, 2010.
 
On September 17, 2010, the SEC issued Release No. 33-9144, “Commission Guidance on Presentation of Liquidity and Capital Resources Disclosures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.” This interpretive release is intended to improve discussion of liquidity and capital resources in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in order to facilitate understanding by investors of the liquidity and funding risks facing the registrant. This release was issued in conjunction with a proposed rule, “Short-Term Borrowings Disclosures,” that would require public companies to disclose additional information to investors about their short-term borrowing arrangements. Release No. 33-9144 was effective on September 28, 2010.
 
In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01, “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20.” The amendments in this ASU temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the FASB time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. Currently, that guidance is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” The guidance requires pro forma disclosure for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma information should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-29 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
The SEC has issued Final Rule No. 33-9002, “Interactive Data to Improve Financial Reporting”, which requires companies to submit financial statements in XBRL (extensible business reporting language) format with their SEC filings on a phased-in schedule. Large accelerated filers and foreign large accelerated filers using U.S. GAAP were required to provide interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2010. All remaining filers are required to provide interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2011.

The primary purpose of the investment portfolio is to generate income and meet liquidity needs of the company through readily saleable financial instruments. The portfolio is made up of fixed rate bonds, whose prices move inversely with rates. At the end of any accounting period, the investment portfolio has unrealized gains and losses. The company monitors the portfolio, which is subject to liquidity needs, market rate changes and credit risk changes, to see if adjustments are needed. The primary concern in a loss situation is the credit quality of the business behind the instrument. The primary cause of impairments is the decline in the prices of the bonds as rates have risen. There are 15 debt securities accounts in the consolidated portfolio that have losses at December 31, 2010. The primary cause of the temporary impairments in the company’s investments in debt securities was fluctuations in interest rates. Because the company intends to hold these investments in debt securities to maturity and it is more likely than not that the company will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of unrealized losses, the company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010 and no impairment has been recognized.
 
There are three equity securities accounts in the company’s portfolio with losses at December 31, 2010. Because the company has the ability and intent to hold these equity investments until the investments recover their unrealized losses, the company considers these investments to be temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010 and is recognizing no impairment. These are community bank stock related holdings.
 
The following table summarizes the fair value and gross unrealized losses for securities aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous gross unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands).

Note 2. Securities (Continued)
 
Securities with a carrying value of $24 million and $23.6 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were pledged to secure public funds and other balances as required by law.
 
The company’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock totaled $765 thousand at December 31, 2010. FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment and as a restricted investment security, which is carried at cost, because there is no market for the stock, other than the FHLBs or member institutions. Therefore, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Despite the FHLB’s limited repurchase of excess capital stock in 2010, the company does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010 and no impairment has been recognized. FHLB stock is shown as a separate line item on the balance sheet and is not a part of the available for sale securities portfolio.

Note 4. Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
 
Recorded reserves for impaired loans total $3.1 million compared to total nonaccrual loans of $2.3 million. There are loans with impairment that are not on nonaccrual status because payments on these loans are current. These loans are kept under constant scrutiny by the loan officers and credit administration.

Note 8. Employee Benefit Plans
 
The company’s defined benefit pension plan, covering full-time employees over 21 years of age upon completion of one year of service, was frozen as of October 31, 2009, the end of the plan year. Benefits will be based on average compensation for the five consecutive full calendar years of service which produces the highest average as of October 31, 2009. No additional participants may enter the plan, and there will be no further increases in benefits due to increases in salaries and years of service.
 
The company sponsors an unfunded postretirement life insurance plan covering current and future retirees with 25 years of service over the age of 60 and an unfunded health care plan for current retirees that met certain eligibility requirements.

Note 8. Employee Benefit Plans (Continued)
 
The company sponsors a 401(k) retirement savings plan available to all employees meeting certain age and service requirements. Employees become eligible to participate in the plan upon reaching age 21 and completing one year of service. Entry dates are January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. Employees can make a salary deferral election authorizing the company to withhold up to the amount allowed by law each calendar year. The company may make a discretionary matching contribution each plan year. The company may also make other discretionary contributions to the plan. The company’s match for this plan has been increased with the freezing of the defined benefit plan as described above. The company made 401(k) matching contributions of $214 thousand, $111 thousand and $100 thousand in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
The company has entered into contracts with three retirees where the company has agreed to pay the beneficiaries of two participants $50,000 each and the beneficiary of one participant $25,000 at the death of the participants. This postretirement benefit has been accrued as of December 31, 2010 in the amount of $125 thousand. While these liabilities are unfunded, life insurance has been obtained by the company to help offset these payments.

Long-Term Rate of Return
 
The plan sponsor selects the expected long-term rate-of-return-on-assets assumption in consultation with their investment advisors and actuary. This rate is intended to reflect the average rate of earnings expected to be earned on the funds invested or to be invested to provide plan benefits. Historical performance is reviewed, especially with respect to real rates of return (net of inflation), for the major asset classes held or anticipated to be held by the trust, and for the trust itself. Undue weight is not given to recent experience that may not continue over the measurement period, with higher significance placed on current forecasts of future long-term economic conditions.
 
Because assets are held in a qualified trust, anticipated returns are not reduced for taxes. Further, solely for this purpose, the plan is assumed to continue in force and not terminate during the period during which assets are invested. However, consideration is given to the potential impact of current and future investment policy, cash flow into and out of the trust, and expenses (both investment and non-investment) typically paid from plan assets (to the extent such expenses are not explicitly estimated within periodic cost).
 
The fair value (in thousands) of the company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, by asset category is as follows:

Asset Allocation
 
The pension plan’s weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2010 and 2009 by asset category are as follows:
 
    Plan Assets at December 31
        2010       2009
Asset Category                    
       Equities     52 %       61 %  
       Fixed income/cash     48 %       39 %  
              Total     100 %       100 %  
                     
The trust fund is sufficiently diversified to maintain a reasonable level of risk without imprudently sacrificing return, with a targeted asset allocation of 50% equities and 50% fixed income/cash and acceptable ranges within these categories of 40% to 60%. The trust fund allocation is reviewed on a monthly basis and rebalanced to within the acceptable ranges as needed. After review of the December 2009 allocations shown above, the funds were rebalanced and were within acceptable ranges at January 31, 2010. The investment manager selects investment fund managers with demonstrated experience and expertise and funds with demonstrated historical performance for the implementation of the plan’s investment strategy. The investment manager will consider both actively and passively managed investment strategies and will allocate funds across the asset classes to develop an efficient investment structure.
 
It is the responsibility of the trustee to administer the investments of the trust within reasonable costs, being careful to avoid sacrificing quality. These costs include, but are not limited to, management and custodial fees, consulting fees, transaction costs and other administrative costs chargeable to the trust.
 
There is no company common stock included in the equity securities of the pension plan at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Note 8. Employee Benefit Plans (Continued)
 
For measurement purposes, a 6.40%, 6.85% and 7.10% annual rate of increase in per capita health care costs of covered benefits was assumed for the retiree health care plan for 2010, 2009 and 2008, with such annual rate of increase gradually declining to 5% in 2013.
 
Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A 1% change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:
 
        1% Increase   1% Decrease
    (in thousands)
Effect on the health care component of the accumulated

Stock options for 124,911, 129,067 and 120,278 average shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive.
 
Note 10. Stock-Based Compensation
 
During 2003, the company adopted an incentive stock plan which allows key employees and directors to increase their personal financial interest in the company. This plan permits the issuance of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. The plan authorizes the issuance of up to 183,600 shares of common stock. In 2007, the shareholders authorized an additional 250,000 shares of common stock to be used in the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees and directors.

The aggregate intrinsic value of a stock option in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2010. The aggregate intrinsic values change based on changes in the market value of the company’s stock.
 
The exercise price of stock options granted under this plan, both incentive and non-qualified, cannot be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date that the option is granted. The maximum term for an option granted under this plan is ten years and options granted may be subject to a vesting schedule. The non-qualified options granted are exercisable immediately. The incentive options granted are subject to a five year vesting period whereby the grantees are entitled to exercise one fifth of the options on the anniversary of the grant date over the next five years. The following table summarizes options outstanding at December 31, 2010:
 
                Options Outstanding   Options Exercisable

Note 12. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
 
In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various commitments and contingent liabilities which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The company does not anticipate losses as a result of these transactions. See Note 14 with respect to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk.
 
The company has approximately $1 thousand in deposits in other financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) at December 31, 2010.
 
The company must maintain a reserve against its deposits in accordance with Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Act. For the final bi-weekly reporting periods which included December 31, 2010 and 2009, the aggregate amounts of daily average required balances were approximately $300 thousand for each time period.
 
The table below presents the contractual obligations of the company as of December 31, 2010 not disclosed in other notes:
 
      Lease   Lease
      Obligations   Obligations

Thereafter       -     - -
      $ 110   $ 127
               
Note 13. Retained Earnings
 
Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid and loans or advances made by the bank to the company. The approval of the State Banking Commissioner is required if the total of all dividends declared in any calendar year exceeds the bank’s net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years and loans or advances are limited to 10 percent of the bank’s capital stock and surplus on a secured basis.
 
At December 31, 2010, none of the bank’s retained earnings were available for the payment of dividends. Accordingly, $25.7 million of the company’s equity in the net assets of the bank was restricted at December 31, 2010. Funds available for loans or advances by the bank to the company amounted to $600 thousand.
 
In addition, dividends paid by the bank to the company would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements.
 
Note 14. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
 
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. Those financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
 
The company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
 
60
 

 

Note 14. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk (Continued)
 
A summary of the contract or notional amount of the company’s exposure to off-balance-sheet risk as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands) is as follows:
 
        2010       2009
Financial instruments whose contract            
       amounts represent credit risk:            
              Commitments to extend credit   $ 28 050   $ 29 275
              Standby letters of credit     2 225     1 646

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 credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
 
Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. The majority of these lines of credit are collateralized and usually contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the extent to which the company is committed.
 
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The company generally holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.
 
At December 31, 2010, the company had no rate lock commitments to originate mortgage loans and had mortgage loans held for sale in the amount of $76 thousand. The company enters into corresponding mandatory commitments, on a best-efforts basis, to sell the loans. These commitments to sell loans are designed to eliminate the company’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in connection with rate lock commitments and loans held for sale.
 
Note 15. Fair Value Measurements
 
Determination of Fair Value
 
The company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments for certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of FASB ASC, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
 
The recent fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
 
61
 

 

Note 15. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
 
Fair Value Hierarchy
 
In accordance with this guidance, the company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
 
Level 1—Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2—Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on 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 asset or liability.
 
Level 3—Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or 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 determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
 
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
The following methods and assumptions were used by the company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
 
Cash and Short-Term Investments
 
The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values based on the short-term nature of the assets.
 
Securities
 
Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2).
 
Loans
 
For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other loans were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered.
 
FHLB Stock
 
The carrying amounts of FHLB stock approximate fair value based on redemption provisions of the FHLB.
 
Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI)
 
The carrying amounts of BOLI approximate fair value.
 
62
 

 

Note 15. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
 
Deposit Liabilities
 
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
Short-Term Borrowings
 
The carrying amounts of borrowings under repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased approximate fair value.
 
FHLB Advances
 
The fair values of the company’s FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the company’s incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
 
Accrued Interest
 
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
 
The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.
 
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair value of loan commitments and standby-letters of credit was immaterial. Therefore, they have not been included in the following table.
 
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the company’s financial instruments are as follows:

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
 
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
 
The following describes the valuation techniques used by the company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:
 
64
 

 

Note 15. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
 
Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, the company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within other operating income on the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Impaired Loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Other Real Estate Owned: Certain assets such as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value less cost to sell. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3.

Note 16. Regulatory Matters
 
The company (on a consolidated basis) and the bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory – 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 bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their 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 table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, that the company and the bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
 
As of December 31, 2010, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the bank as 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 table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.
 
The company’s and the bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the table.

Note 18. Subsequent Events
 
In accordance with ASC 855-10, the company evaluates subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. There are two types of subsequent events: (1) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) nonrecognized, or those that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date.
 
Based on the evaluation, the company did not identify any recognized or nonrecognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
 
     Not Applicable.
 
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
 
     The company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, based on their evaluation as of the date of this report of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a)-14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), have concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective for purposes of Rule 13(a)-14(c) and timely, alerting them to material information relating to the company required to be included in the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
     As a smaller reporting company, management’s report will not be subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to permanent rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
 
     There were no significant changes in the company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
To the Stockholders:
 
     Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements included in this annual report. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect management’s judgments and estimates concerning effects of events and transactions that are accounted for or disclosed.
 
     Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report reliable financial data. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
 
     In order to ensure that the company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective, management regularly assesses such controls and did so most recently for its financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.
 
     The Board of Directors, acting through its Audit Committee, is responsible for the oversight of the company’s accounting policies, financial reporting and internal control. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is comprised entirely of outside directors who are independent of management. The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment and compensation of the independent registered public accounting firm and approves decisions regarding the appointment or removal of the company’s internal auditor. It meets periodically with management, the independent registered public accounting firm and the internal auditor to ensure that they are carrying out their responsibilities. The Audit Committee is also responsible for performing an oversight role by reviewing and monitoring the financial, accounting and auditing procedures of the company in addition to reviewing the company’s financial reports. The independent registered public accounting firm and the internal auditor have full and unlimited access to the Audit Committee, with or without management, to discuss the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting, and any other matter which they believe should be brought to the attention of the Audit Committee.
