Part I
Item 1. BUSINESS.
General
Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on February 21, 2013 at the direction of the Board of Directors of Virginia National Bank (the Bank) for the purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding shares of the Bank and becoming the holding company of the Bank. On June 19, 2013, the shareholders of the Bank approved the Reorganization Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange, dated March 6, 2013, whereby the Bank would reorganize into a holding company structure (the Reorganization).
On December 16, 2013, when the Reorganization became effective, the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and each share of the Banks common stock was exchanged for one share of the Companys common stock. The Company is regulated under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (BHC Act), and is subject to inspection, examination and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve Board). The Company is also under the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is subject to the disclosure and regulatory requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the Exchange Act) as administered by the SEC. Virginia National Bankshares Corporation is headquartered at 404 People Place, Charlottesville, Virginia.
3
Virginia National Bank, the principal operating subsidiary of the Company, was organized in 1998 under federal law as a national banking association to engage in a general commercial and retail banking business. The Bank received its charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC) and commenced operations on July 29, 1998. The Bank is headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Banks deposits are insured up to the maximum amount provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Act by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Bank is subject to the supervision, examination and regulation of the OCC.
The Bank serves the Virginia communities in and around the City of Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Orange County and the City of Winchester. The Bank offers a full range of banking and related financial services, including checking accounts, NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, individual retirement accounts and other depository services. The Bank actively solicits such accounts from individuals, businesses, associations and other organizations within its trade area. The Bank also offers short-to-long term commercial, real estate and consumer loans. The Bank is committed to being a reliable and consistent source of credit, with loans that are priced based upon an overall banking relationship, easy access to the Banks local decision makers who possess strong local market knowledge, local delivery, fast response, and continuity in the banking relationship. Other services offered by the Bank include automated teller machines (ATMs), Internet banking, safe deposit boxes, merchant card services, cash management services and direct deposit of payroll and federal recurring payments. In addition, the Bank is affiliated with Visa® which is accepted worldwide and offers debit cards to consumer and business customers.
Since July 29, 1998, the Bank has conducted business from its full-service main banking office located at 222 East Main Street in Charlottesville, Virginia. On March 15, 1999, a full-service banking office was opened at 1580 Seminole Trail in Charlottesville, Virginia. On December 21, 1999, a full-service banking office was opened at 1900 Arlington Boulevard in Charlottesville, Virginia. On November 8, 2000, a full-service banking office was opened at 102 East Main Street in Orange, Virginia. On January 28, 2002, a full-service banking office was opened at 186 North Loudoun Street, Winchester, Virginia. On December 29, 2003, a full-service banking office was opened at 3119 Valley Avenue, #102, Winchester, Virginia. On April 28, 2008, a full-service banking office was opened at 404 People Place, Charlottesville, Virginia. Additionally, the multi-story office building at 404 People Place serves as the Companys corporate headquarters and the Banks Operations Center.
In October 2012, the Bank started offering annuity, insurance and brokerage services to the public at its banking offices, under the title of VNB Investment Strategies. The Bank entered into an agreement with LPL Financial LLC, which provides broker/dealer and advisory services through registered representatives. The goal of the program is to offer customers additional opportunities to access additional financial products and services beyond the traditional banking products.
Investment and trust services are offered through the Banks wholly-owned subsidiary, VNBTrust, National Association (VNBTrust). VNBTrust employs a value-based, event-driven investment strategy. The strategy includes investing in a wide variety of securities and financial instruments in the public markets, utilizing securities exchanges, over-the-counter and privately negotiated transactions. Investment trades include common and preferred stock, corporate bonds, bank loans and other debt securities, convertible securities, Exchange Traded Funds (EFTs), options, warrants and cash equivalents.
Prior to July 18, 2013, VNBTrust was the sole owner of an operating subsidiary, Swift Run Capital Management, LLC (SRCM), formerly known as VNB Investment Management Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation. SRCM operates as the general partner of Swift Run Capital L.P. (Fund), a hedge fund. On July 18, 2013 (the Closing Date), VNBTrust completed the sale of all of the membership interests of SRCM to SRCM Holdings LLC (SRCM Holdings) pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement dated June 27, 2013 among SRCM Holdings, VNBTrust, SRCM and the Bank (the Sale Agreement). The Fund managed by SRCM represented less than 7 percent of the total assets managed by VNBTrust and SRCM at the date of the sale. Additional details on this transaction are available in Note 1, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, contained in Item 8.

On January 1, 2014, VNBTrust began doing business under the trade name of VNB Wealth Management. While the trade name is new, clients will continue to receive community-based trust and investment services. VNB Wealth Management employs an integrated approach to financial planning and investment management which is designed to provide clients with a comprehensive wealth management solution. More information on VNB Wealth Management is available at www.vnbwealth.com.
Market Area
The population in the market area served by the Company continues to grow. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the combined populations of the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County stood at 142,445 persons as of April 1, 2010, an increase of approximately 14.6 percent between April 1, 2000 and April 1, 2010. The Virginia State Demographer projects the two municipalities to grow 13.2 percent to a population of 161,278 by 2020. Charlottesville and Albemarle County support a diverse, well-rounded economy. Stability in the local economy stems from the significant number of persons employed by a wide variety of employers including the University of Virginia, large medical and research facilities such as Martha Jefferson and UVA Health Services, insurance and technology industries, large number of national retail chains and Federal government-based facilities.
The combined populations of the City of Winchester and Frederick County increased approximately 26.2 percent between April 1, 2000 and April 1, 2010, to a population of 104,508 persons in 2010. The combined population is expected to be 125,159 by 2020, an increase of 19.8 percent.
Orange County had a population of approximately 33,481 persons as of 2010. Between April 1, 2000 and April 1, 2010, its population grew 29.4 percent.
The total market area served by the Company grew 20.4 percent between 2000 and 2010, as compared to 13.0 percent for the state as a whole. Over the next decade, Virginia is expected to have only a 10.1 percent growth, where the Companys current market is expected to be 15.6 percent higher by 2020 than reported by the 2010 Census.
Competition
The Company engages in highly competitive activities. Each activity involves competition with other banks, as well as with non-banking enterprises that offer financial products and services that compete directly with the Companys product and service offerings. The Company actively competes with other banks in its efforts to obtain deposits and make loans, in the scope and types of services offered, in interest rates paid on time deposits and charged on loans, and in other aspects of banking.
In addition to competing with other commercial banks within and outside its primary service areas, the Company competes with other financial institutions engaged in the business of making loans or accepting deposits, such as credit unions, insurance companies, small loan companies, finance companies, mortgage companies, certain governmental agencies and other enterprises. Competition for funds from securities brokers and mutual funds for money market accounts is strong. Additional competition for deposits comes from government and private issues of debt obligations and other investment alternatives for depositors such as money market funds.
The market areas served by the Company are highly competitive with respect to banking. Competition for loans to small businesses and professionals is intense, and pricing is important. Many of the Companys competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits than the Company and offer certain services such as extensive and established branch networks that the Company does not expect to match. Deposit competition is also very strong. Management believes, however, that a market exists for the personal and customized financial services an independent, locally owned bank can offer.
Supervision and Regulation
Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under both federal and state laws. The following description briefly addresses certain historic and current provisions of federal and state laws and certain regulations, proposed regulations and the potential impacts on the Company and the Bank. To the extent statutory or regulatory provisions or proposals are described in this Report, the description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory or regulatory provisions or proposals.

Regulatory Reform The Dodd-Frank Act
On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act). The Dodd-Frank Act significantly restructures the financial regulatory regime in the United States and has a broad impact on the financial services industry as a result of the significant regulatory and compliance changes required under the act. While significant rulemaking under the Dodd-Frank Act has occurred, certain of the acts provisions require additional rulemaking by the federal bank regulatory agencies, a process which will take years to fully implement. The Company believes that short- and long-term compliance costs for the Company will be greater because of the Dodd-Frank Act. A summary of certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act is set forth below:
- Increased Capital
Standards. The federal banking
agencies are required to establish minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements for banks and bank
holding companies. See The Bank Capital Requirements Basel III Capital Requirements below. Among other
things, the Dodd-Frank Act provides for
new capital standards that eliminate the treatment of trust preferred
securities as Tier 1 capital. Existing
trust preferred securities are grandfathered for banking entities with less
than $15 billion of assets. The Company
has no trust preferred securities.
- Deposit Insurance. The Dodd-Frank Act makes permanent the $250,000
deposit insurance limit for insured
deposits. Amendments to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act also revise the
assessment base against which an insured
depository institutions deposit insurance premiums paid to the Deposit
Insurance Fund (the DIF) will be calculated.
Under the amendments, the assessment base is no longer the institutions deposit base, but rather its average
consolidated total assets less its average tangible equity during the assessment period. Additionally, the
Dodd-Frank Act makes changes to the minimum designated reserve ratio of the DIF, increasing the minimum
from 1.15% to 1.35% of the estimated
amount of total insured deposits and eliminating the requirement that the FDIC
pay dividends to depository institutions
when the reserve ratio exceeds certain thresholds. The Dodd-Frank Act
also provides that, effective one year
after the date of enactment, depository institutions may pay interest
on demand deposits.
- Enhanced Lending Limits. The Dodd-Frank Act strengthens the existing limits on
a depository institutions credit exposure
to one borrower. Current banking law limits a depository institutions
ability to extend credit to one person (or
group of related persons) in an amount exceeding certain
thresholds.
- The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(the CFPB). The Dodd-Frank Act
creates the CFPB within the Federal
Reserve Bank. The CFPB is charged with establishing rules and regulations
under certain federal consumer protection
laws with respect to the conduct of providers of certain consumer
financial products and
services.
- Compensation Practices. The Dodd-Frank Act provides that the appropriate federal regulators must establish standards prohibiting as an unsafe and unsound practice any compensation plan of a bank holding company or bank that provides an insider or other employee with excessive compensation or could lead to a material financial loss to such firm. In June 2010, prior to the Dodd-Frank Act, the federal bank regulatory agencies promulgated the Interagency Guidance on Sound Incentive Compensation Policies, which requires that financial institutions establish metrics for measuring the impact of activities to achieve incentive compensation with the related risk to the financial institution of such behavior.
Although a significant number of the rules and regulations mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act have been finalized, certain of the acts requirements have yet to be implemented. Given the uncertainty associated with the manner in which the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented by the federal bank regulatory agencies in the future, the full extent of the impact such requirements will have on the operations of the Company and the Bank is unclear. The changes resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act may affect the profitability of business activities, require changes to certain business practices, impose more stringent regulatory requirements or otherwise adversely affect the business and financial condition of the Company and the Bank. These changes may also require the Company to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make necessary changes to comply with new statutory and regulatory requirements.
The Company
General. As a bank holding company registered under the BHC Act, the Company is subject to supervision, regulation, and examination by the Federal Reserve. The Company is also registered under the bank holding company laws of Virginia and is subject to supervision, regulation, and examination by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (the SCC).
6
Permitted Activities. A bank holding company is limited to managing or controlling banks, furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries, and engaging in other activities that the Federal Reserve determines by regulation or order to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. In determining whether a particular activity is permissible, the Federal Reserve must consider whether the performance of such an activity reasonably can be expected to produce benefits to the public that outweigh possible adverse effects. Possible benefits include greater convenience, increased competition, and gains in efficiency. Possible adverse effects include undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest, and unsound banking practices. Despite prior approval, the Federal Reserve may order a bank holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate any activity or to terminate ownership or control of any subsidiary when the Federal Reserve has reasonable cause to believe that a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of any bank subsidiary of that bank holding company may result from such an activity.
Banking Acquisitions; Changes in Control. The BHC Act requires, among other things, the prior approval of the Federal Reserve in any case where a bank holding company proposes to (i) acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting stock of any bank or bank holding company (unless it already owns a majority of such voting shares), (ii) acquire all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company, or (iii) merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company. In determining whether to approve a proposed bank acquisition, the Federal Reserve will consider, among other factors, the effect of the acquisition on competition, the public benefits expected to be received from the acquisition, the projected capital ratios and levels on a post-acquisition basis, and the acquiring institutions performance under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 and its compliance with fair housing and other consumer protection laws.
Subject to certain exceptions, the BHC Act and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with the applicable regulations, require Federal Reserve approval (or, depending on the circumstances, no notice of disapproval) prior to any person or companys acquiring control of a bank or bank holding company. A conclusive presumption of control exists if an individual or company acquires the power, directly or indirectly, to direct the management or policies of an insured depository institution or to vote 25% or more of any class of voting securities of any insured depository institution. A rebuttable presumption of control exists if a person or company acquires 10% or more but less than 25% of any class of voting securities of an insured depository institution and either the institution has registered its securities with the SEC under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or no other person will own a greater percentage of that class of voting securities immediately after the acquisition. The Companys common stock is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
In addition, Virginia law requires the prior approval of the SCC for (i) any Virginia bank or Virginia bank holding company to acquire more than 5% of the voting shares of a Virginia bank or any holding company that controls a Virginia bank, or (ii) the acquisition by a Virginia bank holding company of a bank or its holding company domiciled outside Virginia.
Source of Strength. Federal Reserve policy has historically required bank holding companies to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to their subsidiary banks. The Dodd-Frank Act codified this policy as a statutory requirement. Under this requirement, the Company is expected to commit resources to support the Bank, including at times when the Company may not be in a financial position to provide such resources. Any capital loans by a bank holding company to any of its subsidiary banks are subordinate in right of payment to depositors and to certain other indebtedness of such subsidiary banks. In the event of a bank holding companys bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to priority of payment.
Safety and Soundness. There are a number of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding companies and their subsidiary banks by law and regulatory policy that are designed to minimize potential loss to the depositors of such depository institutions and the FDIC insurance fund in the event of a depository institution default. For example, under the Federal Deposit Insurance Company Improvement Act of 1991, to avoid receivership of an insured depository institution subsidiary, a bank holding company is required to guarantee the compliance of any subsidiary bank that may become undercapitalized with the terms of any capital restoration plan filed by such subsidiary with its appropriate federal bank regulatory agency up to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 5% of the institutions total assets at the time the institution became undercapitalized, or (ii) the amount that is necessary (or would have been necessary) to bring the institution into compliance with all applicable capital standards as of the time the institution fails to comply with such capital restoration plan.
7
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDIA), the federal bank regulatory agencies have adopted guidelines prescribing safety and soundness standards. These guidelines establish general standards relating to internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth and compensation, fees and benefits. In general, the guidelines require, among other things, appropriate systems and practices to identify and manage the risk and exposures specified in the guidelines.
Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve imposes certain capital requirements on bank holding companies under the BHC Act, including a minimum leverage ratio and a minimum ratio of qualifying capital to risk-weighted assets. These requirements are described below under The Bank Capital Requirements.
Limits on Dividends and Other Payments. The Company is a legal entity, separate and distinct from its subsidiaries. A significant portion of the revenues of the Company result from dividends paid to it by the Bank. There are various legal limitations applicable to the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company and to the payment of dividends by the Company to its shareholders. The Bank is subject to various restrictions on its ability to pay dividends to the Company. The OCC has advised that a national bank should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings. Under current regulations, prior approval from the Federal Reserve is required if cash dividends declared in any given year exceed net income for that year, plus retained net profits of the two preceding years. The payment of dividends by the Bank or the Company may be limited by other factors, such as requirements to maintain capital above regulatory guidelines. Bank regulatory agencies have the authority to prohibit the Bank or the Company from engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting their business. The payment of dividends, depending on the financial condition of the Bank, or the Company, could be deemed to constitute such an unsafe or unsound practice.
Under the FDIA, insured depository institutions such as the Bank, are prohibited from making capital distributions, including the payment of dividends, if, after making such distributions, the institution would become undercapitalized (as such term is used in the statute). Based on the Banks current financial condition, the Company does not expect this provision will have any impact on its ability to receive dividends from the Bank.
The Bank
General. The Bank is supervised and regularly examined by the OCC. The various laws and regulations administered by the bank regulatory agencies affect corporate practices, such as the payment of dividends, incurrence of debt and acquisition of financial institutions and other companies; they also affect business practices, such as the payment of interest on deposits, the charging of interest on loans, types of business conducted and location of offices. Certain of these law and regulations are referenced above under The Company.
Capital Requirements:
Current Capital Requirements. The OCC and the other federal banking agencies have issued risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to U.S. banking organizations. In addition, those regulatory agencies may from time to time require that a banking organization maintain capital above the minimum levels because of its financial condition or actual or anticipated growth. Under the current risk-based capital requirements of the Federal Reserve and the OCC, the Company and the Bank are required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital less certain specified deductions from total capital such as reciprocal holdings of depository institution capital instruments and equity investments) to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet activities, recourse obligations, residual interests and direct credit substitutes, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor assigned by the capital regulation based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. At least half of the total capital is required to be Tier 1 capital, which consists principally of common and certain qualifying preferred shareholders equity (including grandfathered trust preferred securities), less certain intangibles and other adjustments. The remainder (Tier 2 capital) consists of cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of subordinated and other qualifying debt (including certain hybrid capital instruments), and a limited amount of the general loan loss allowance. The Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted asset ratios of the Company were 17.03% and 18.00%, respectively, as of December 31, 2013, thus exceeding the minimum requirements. The Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted asset ratios of the Bank were 14.65% and 15.62%, respectively, as of December 31, 2013, also exceeding the minimum requirements.
8
Each of the federal bank regulatory agencies also has established a minimum leverage capital ratio of Tier 1 capital to average adjusted assets (Tier 1 leverage ratio). The guidelines provide for a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3.0% for bank holding companies and banking organizations that have the highest supervisory rating. All other banking organizations are required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% unless a different minimum is specified by an appropriate regulatory authority. In addition, for a depository institution to be considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, its Tier 1 leverage ratio must be at least 5.0%. The guidelines also provide that banking organizations 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. The Federal Reserve and the OCC have not advised the Company or the Bank of any specific minimum leverage ratio applicable to either entity. As of December 31, 2013, the Tier 1 leverage ratio of the Company and the Bank were 11.86% and 10.20%, respectively, well above the minimum requirements.
Basel III Capital Requirements. In June 2012, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued a series of proposed rules that would revise and strengthen its risk-based and leverage capital requirements and its method for calculating risk-weighted assets. The rules were proposed to implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. In July 2013, the federal bank regulatory agencies approved certain revisions to the proposals and finalized new capital requirements for banking organizations.
Effective January 1, 2015, the final rules require the Company and the Bank to comply with the following new minimum capital ratios: (i) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6% of risk-weighted assets (increased from the current requirement of 4%); (iii) a total capital ratio of 8% of risk-weighted assets (unchanged from current requirement); and (iv) a leverage ratio of 4% of total assets. These are the initial capital requirements, which will be phased in over a four-year period. When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the rules will require the Company and the Bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 4.5% common equity Tier 1 ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 7% upon full implementation); (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full implementation); (iii) a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 8.0% total capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation); and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets.
The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016, at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets, increasing each year until fully implemented at 2.5% on January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.
With respect to the Bank, the rules also revised the prompt corrective action regulations pursuant to Section 38 of the FDIA by (i) introducing a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio requirement at each level (other than critically undercapitalized), with the required ratio being 6.5% for well-capitalized status; (ii) increasing the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio requirement for each category, with the minimum ratio for well-capitalized status being 8.0% (as compared to the current 6.0%); and (iii) eliminating the current provision that provides that a bank with a composite supervisory rating of 1 may have a 3.0% Tier 1 leverage ratio and still be well-capitalized.
The new capital requirements also include changes in the risk weights of assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposures. These include a 150% risk weight (up from 100%) for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and nonresidential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or otherwise on nonaccrual status, a 20% (up from 0%) credit conversion factor for the unused portion of a commitment with an original maturity of one year or less that is not unconditionally cancellable, a 250% risk weight (up from 100%) for mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital, and increased risk-weights (from 0% to up to 600%) for equity exposures.
9
Based on managements understanding and interpretation of the new capital rules, it believes that, as of December 31, 2013, the Company and the Bank would meet all capital adequacy requirements under such rules on a fully phased-in basis as if such requirements were in effect as of such date.
Deposit Insurance. The deposits of the Bank are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) of the FDIC and are subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the DIF. On April 1, 2011, the deposit insurance assessment base changed from total deposits to average total assets minus average tangible equity, pursuant to a rule issued by the FDIC as required by the Dodd-Frank Act.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the FDIA), as amended by the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, requires the FDIC to set a ratio of deposit insurance reserves to estimated insured deposits of at least 1.35%. The FDIC utilizes a risk-based assessment system that imposes insurance premiums based upon a risk matrix that takes into account a banks capital level and supervisory rating. On February 27, 2009, the FDIC introduced three possible adjustments to an institutions initial base assessment rate: (i) a decrease of up to five basis points for long-term unsecured debt, including senior unsecured debt (other than debt guaranteed under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program) and subordinated debt and, for small institutions, a portion of Tier 1 capital; (ii) an increase not to exceed 50% of an institutions assessment rate before the increase for secured liabilities in excess of 25% of domestic deposits; and (iii) for non-Risk Category I institutions, an increase not to exceed 10 basis points for brokered deposits in excess of 10% of domestic deposits. In 2013 and 2012, the Company expensed only the base assessment rate for well capitalized institutions, which totaled $220 thousand and $297 thousand, respectively, in regular deposit insurance assessments.
On May 22, 2009, the FDIC issued a final rule that levied a special assessment applicable to all insured depository institutions totaling 5 basis points of each institutions total assets less Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009, not to exceed 10 basis points of domestic deposits. The special assessment was part of the FDICs efforts to rebuild the DIF. Deposit insurance expense during 2009 for the Company included an additional $184 thousand related to the special assessment.
On November 12, 2009, the FDIC issued a rule that required all insured depository institutions, with limited exceptions, to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company paid $1.939 million in prepaid risk-based assessments, most of which has been expensed in the appropriate periods through December 31, 2012. The balance of the prepayment was approximately $629 thousand on December 31, 2012 and was included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. On June 28, 2013, $582 thousand was refunded to the Company from the FDIC. Beginning September 30, 2013, payments are being assessed and charged to financial institutions on a quarterly basis, rather than being applied against the prepaid balance.
In addition, all FDIC insured institutions are required to pay assessments to the FDIC at an annual rate of approximately one basis point of insured deposits to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation, an agency of the federal government established to recapitalize the predecessor to the Savings Association Insurance Fund. These assessments will continue until the Financing Corporation bonds mature in 2017 through 2019. In both 2013 and 2012, the Company paid a FICO assessment of $28 thousand.
Transactions with Affiliates. Pursuant to Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W, the authority of the Bank to engage in transactions with related parties or affiliates or to make loans to insiders is limited. Loan transactions with an affiliate generally must be collateralized and certain transactions between the Bank and its affiliates, including the sale of assets, the payment of money or the provision of services, must be on terms and conditions that are substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the Bank, as those prevailing for comparable nonaffiliated transactions. In addition, the Bank generally may not purchase securities issued or underwritten by affiliates.
10
Loans to executive officers, directors or to any person who directly or indirectly, or acting through or in concert with one or more persons, owns, controls or has the power to vote more than 10% of any class of voting securities of a bank (a 10% Shareholder), are subject to Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and their corresponding regulations (Regulation O) and Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act relating to the prohibition on personal loans to executives (which exempts financial institutions in compliance with the insider lending restrictions of Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act). Among other things, these loans must be made on terms substantially the same as those prevailing on transactions made to unaffiliated individuals and certain extensions of credit to those persons must first be approved in advance by a disinterested majority of the entire board of directors. Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act prohibits loans to any of those individuals where the aggregate amount exceeds an amount equal to 15% of an institutions unimpaired capital and surplus plus an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus in the case of loans that are fully secured by readily marketable collateral, or when the aggregate amount on all of the extensions of credit outstanding to all of these persons would exceed the Banks unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. Section 22(g) of the Federal Reserve Act identifies limited circumstances in which the Bank is permitted to extend credit to executive officers.
Prompt Corrective Action. Federal banking regulators are authorized and, under certain circumstances, required to take certain actions against banks that fail to meet their capital requirements. The federal bank regulatory agencies have additional enforcement authority with respect to undercapitalized depository institutions. Well capitalized institutions may generally operate without supervisory restriction. With respect to adequately capitalized institutions, such banks cannot normally pay dividends or make any capital contributions that would leave it undercapitalized; they cannot pay a management fee to a controlling person if, after paying the fee, it would be undercapitalized; and they cannot accept, renew or roll over any brokered deposit unless the bank has applied for and been granted a waiver by the FDIC.
Immediately upon becoming undercapitalized, a depository institution becomes subject to the provisions of Section 38 of the FDIA, which: (i) restrict payment of capital distributions and management fees; (ii) require that the appropriate federal banking agency monitor the condition of the institution and its efforts to restore its capital; (iii) require submission of a capital restoration plan; (iv) restrict the growth of the institutions assets; and (v) require prior approval of certain expansion proposals. The appropriate federal banking agency for an undercapitalized institution also may take any number of discretionary supervisory actions if the agency determines that any of these actions is necessary to resolve the problems of the institution at the least possible long-term cost to the DIF, subject in certain cases to specified procedures. These discretionary supervisory actions include: (i) requiring the institution to raise additional capital; (ii) restricting transactions with affiliates; (iii) requiring divestiture of the institution or the sale of the institution to a willing purchaser; and (iv) any other supervisory action that the agency deems appropriate. These and additional mandatory and permissive supervisory actions may be taken with respect to significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized institutions. The Bank meets the definition of being well capitalized as of December 31, 2013.
As described above in The Bank Capital Requirements Basel III Capital Requirements, the new capital requirement rules issued by the OCC incorporate new requirements into the prompt corrective action framework.
Community Reinvestment Act. The Bank is subject to the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (the CRA). The CRA imposes on financial institutions an affirmative and ongoing obligation to meet the credit needs of the local communities they serve, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA requires the appropriate federal banking agency, in connection with its examination of a bank, to assess the banks record in meeting such credit needs. Furthermore, such assessment is also required of banks that have applied, among other things, to merge or consolidate with or acquire the assets or assume the liabilities of an insured depository institution, or to open or relocate a branch. In the case of a bank holding company applying for approval to acquire a bank or another bank holding company, the record of each subsidiary bank of the applicant bank holding company is subject to assessment in considering the application. Under the CRA, institutions are assigned a rating of outstanding, satisfactory, needs to improve, or substantial non-compliance. The Bank currently has a satisfactory CRA rating.
Privacy Legislation. Several recent laws, including the Right to Financial Privacy Act, and related regulations issued by the federal bank regulatory agencies, provide new protections against the transfer and use of customer information by financial institutions. A financial institution must provide to its customers information regarding its policies and procedures with respect to the handling of customers personal information. Each institution must conduct an internal risk assessment of its ability to protect customer information. These privacy provisions generally prohibit a financial institution from providing a customers personal financial information to unaffiliated parties without prior notice and approval from the customer.

USA Patriot Act of 2001. In October 2001, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Patriot Act) was enacted in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania, and Northern Virginia. The Patriot Act is intended to strengthen U.S. law enforcement and the intelligence communities abilities to work cohesively to combat terrorism. The continuing impact on financial institutions of the Patriot Act and related regulations and policies is significant and wide ranging. The Patriot Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws, and imposes various regulations, including standards for verifying customer identification at account opening, and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement entities to identify persons who may be involved in terrorism or money laundering.
Volcker Rule. The Dodd-Frank Act prohibits insured depository institutions and their holding companies from engaging in proprietary trading except in limited circumstances, and prohibits them from owning equity interests in excess of 3% of Tier 1 capital in private equity and hedge funds (known as the Volcker Rule). On December 10, 2013, the federal bank regulatory agencies adopted final rules implementing the Volcker Rule. These final rules prohibit banking entities from (i) engaging in short-term proprietary trading for their own accounts, and (ii) having certain ownership interests in and relationships with hedge funds or private equity funds. The final rules are intended to provide greater clarity with respect to both the extent of those primary prohibitions and of the related exemptions and exclusions. The final rules also require each regulated entity to establish an internal compliance program that is consistent with the extent to which it engages in activities covered by the Volcker Rule, which must include (for the largest entities) making regular reports about those activities to regulators. Although the final rules provide some tiering of compliance and reporting obligations based on size, the fundamental prohibitions of the Volcker Rule apply to banking entities of any size, including the Company and the Bank. The final rules are effective April 1, 2014, but the conformance period has been extended from its statutory end date of July 21, 2014 until July 21, 2015. The Company has evaluated the implications of the final rules on its investments and does not expect any material financial implications.
Under the final rules implementing the Volcker Rule, banking entities would have been prohibited from owning certain collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) backed by trust preferred securities (TruPS) as of July 21, 2015, which could have forced banking entities to recognize unrealized market losses based on the inability to hold any such investments to maturity. However, on January 14, 2014, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued an interim rule, effective April 1, 2014, exempting TruPS CDOs from the Volcker Rule if (i) the CDO was established prior to May 19, 2010, (ii) the banking entity reasonably believes that the offering proceeds of the CDO were used to invest primarily in TruPS issued by banks with less than $15 billion in assets, and (iii) the banking entity acquired the CDO on or before December 10, 2013. The Company currently does not have any impermissible holdings of TruPS CDOs under the interim rule, and therefore, will not be required to divest of any such investments or change the accounting treatment. However, regulators are soliciting comments to the Interim Rule, and this exemption could change prior to its effective date.
Ability-to-Repay and Qualified Mortgage Rule. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFPB issued a final rule on January 10, 2013 (effective on January 10, 2014), amending Regulation Z as implemented by the Truth in Lending Act, requiring mortgage lenders to make a reasonable and good faith determination based on verified and documented information that a consumer applying for a mortgage loan has a reasonable ability to repay the loan according to its terms. Mortgage lenders are required to determine consumers ability to repay in one of two ways. The first alternative requires the mortgage lender to consider the following eight underwriting factors when making the credit decision: (i) current or reasonably expected income or assets; (ii) current employment status; (iii) the monthly payment on the covered transaction; (iv) the monthly payment on any simultaneous loan; (v) the monthly payment for mortgage-related obligations; (vi) current debt obligations, alimony, and child support; (vii) the monthly debt-to-income ratio or residual income; and (viii) credit history. Alternatively, the mortgage lender can originate qualified mortgages, which are entitled to a presumption that the creditor making the loan satisfied the ability-to-repay requirements. In general, a qualified mortgage is a mortgage loan without negative amortization, interest-only payments, balloon payments, or terms exceeding 30 years. In addition, to be a qualified mortgage the points and fees paid by a consumer cannot exceed 3% of the total loan amount. Qualified mortgages that are higher-priced (e.g. subprime loans) garner a rebuttable presumption of compliance with the ability-to-repay rules, while qualified mortgages that are not higher-priced (e.g. prime loans) are given a safe harbor of compliance. A small creditor exemption from the qualified mortgage rules applies to financial institutions that meet the following requirements: (i) have assets below $2 billion (adjustable annually by CFPB); (ii) creditor originated no more than 500 first-lien, closed-end residential mortgages subject to the ability-to-repay requirements in the preceding calendar year; and (iii) creditor holds the qualified mortgage loan in its portfolio after origination. As a small creditor, the Company is generally exempt from the qualified mortgage rules. The Company does comply with applicable Truth in Lending requirements.
12
Consumer Laws and Regulations. The Bank is also subject to certain consumer laws and regulations issued thereunder that are designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks. These laws include the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Fair Housing Act, and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, among others. The laws and related regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions transact business with customers. The Bank must comply with the applicable provisions of these consumer protection laws and regulations as part of its ongoing customer relations.
Incentive Compensation. In June 2010, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued comprehensive final guidance on incentive compensation policies intended to ensure that the incentive compensation policies of financial institutions do not undermine the safety and soundness of such institutions by encouraging excessive risk-taking. The Interagency Guidance on Sound Incentive Compensation Policies, which covers all employees that have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of financial institutions, either individually or as part of a group, is based upon the key principles that a financial institutions incentive compensation arrangements should (i) provide incentives that do not encourage risk-taking beyond the institutions ability to effectively identify and manage risks, (ii) be compatible with effective internal controls and risk management, and (iii) be supported by strong corporate governance, including active and effective oversight by the financial institutions board of directors.
The Federal Reserve and the OCC will review, as part of the regular, risk-focused examination process, the incentive compensation arrangements of financial institutions, such as the Company and the Bank, that are not large, complex banking organizations. These reviews will be tailored to each financial institution based on the scope and complexity of the institutions activities and the prevalence of incentive compensation arrangements. The findings of the supervisory initiatives will be included in reports of examination. Deficiencies will be incorporated into the institutions supervisory ratings, which can affect the institutions ability to make acquisitions and take other actions. Enforcement actions may be taken against a financial institution if its incentive compensation arrangements, or related risk-management control or governance processes, pose a risk to the institutions safety and soundness and the financial institution is not taking prompt and effective measures to correct the deficiencies. At December 31, 2013, the Company and the Bank have not been made aware of any instances of non-compliance with the final guidance.
Effect of Governmental Monetary Policies
The Companys operations are affected not only by general economic conditions but also by the policies of various regulatory authorities. In particular, the Federal Reserve regulates money and credit conditions and interest rates to influence general economic conditions. These policies have a significant impact on overall growth and distribution of loans, investments and deposits; they affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for time and savings deposits. Federal Reserve monetary policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks, including the Company, in the past and are expected to do so in the future.
Reporting Obligations under Securities Laws
The Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, including the filing of annual, quarterly and other reports with the SEC. As an Exchange Act reporting company, the Company is directly affected by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and regulations promulgated thereunder by the SEC, which are aimed at improving corporate governance and reporting procedures. The Company is complying with the rules and regulations implemented pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and intends to comply with any applicable SEC rules and regulations implemented in the future.
Employees
At December 31, 2013, the Company had 102 full time equivalent employees. None of its employees is represented by any collective bargaining unit. The Company considers relations with its employees to be good.
13
The Company has purchased Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) policies on executives and key personnel of the Company. BOLI is a bank-eligible asset designed to recover costs of providing pre- and post-retirement benefits and/or to finance general employee benefit expenses. Under BOLI policies, the executives and other key personnel are the insured, and the Company is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. The insured has no claim to the insurance policy or to the policys cash value. Under separate split dollar agreements, a portion of any death benefit may be paid to the beneficiaries of the insured employees, subject to the terms and restrictions of the split dollar endorsement agreement between the officer and the Company.
Availability of Information
Prior to the Reorganization, the Bank filed its periodic and annual reports with the OCC. Beginning with the Reorganization on December 16, 2013, the Company files annual, quarterly, and other reports under the Exchange Act with the SEC. The Companys filings are available through the SECs website at www.sec.gov.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
The following discussion provides information about the major components of the results of consolidated operations and financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of Virginia National Bankshares Corporation. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Critical Estimates
The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and to general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While the Company bases estimates on historical experience, current information and other factors deemed to be relevant, actual results could differ from those estimates.
16
The Company considers accounting estimates to be critical to reported financial results if (i) the accounting estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain and (ii) different estimates that management reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, could have a material impact on the Companys financial statements. The Companys accounting policies are fundamental to understanding managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.
Following are the accounting policies and estimates that the Company considers as critical:
-
Allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents managements best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Accounting policies related to the allowance for loan losses are considered to be critical, as these policies involve considerable subjective judgment and estimation by management. The Companys allowance for loan loss methodology includes allowance allocations calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 310, Receivables and allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies. The level of the allowance reflects managements continuing evaluation of industry concentrations, specific credit risks, loan loss experience, current loan portfolio quality, present economic, political and regulatory conditions and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio, as well as trends in the foregoing. Portions of the allowance may be allocated for specific credits; however, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in managements judgment, should be charged off. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond the Companys control, including the performance of the Companys loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward loan classifications. See the section captioned Allowance for Loan Losses elsewhere in this discussion and Note 3 Loans and Note 4 Allowance for Loan Loss in the notes to consolidated financial statements, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, elsewhere in this report for further details of the risk factors considered by management in estimating the necessary level of the allowance for loan losses.
-
Impaired loans are loans so designated when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loans existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Additional information on impaired loans, which includes both Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) and non-accrual loans, is included in Note 3 Loans and Note 4 Allowance for Loan Loss in the notes to consolidated financial statements.
-
Fair value measurements are used by the Company to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The Companys valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realized value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Companys valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Additional discussion of valuation methodologies is presented in Note 14 Fair Value Measurements of the Companys consolidated financial statements.
-
Securities Available for Sale are carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 320, Investments Debt and Equity Securities. The Companys unrestricted securities are classified as available for sale, meaning that the Company intends to hold these securities for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Companys assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income. Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific securities sold, are included in earnings. See the section captioned Securities later in this discussion and Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2 Securities in the notes to consolidated financial statements.
17
-
Other-than-temporary impairment of securities accounting policies require a periodic review by management to determine if the decline in the fair value of any security appears to be other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether the decline is other-than-temporary include, but are not limited to: the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been below cost; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and the Companys intent to sell. See Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2 Securities, in the notes to consolidated financial statements, for further details on the accounting policies for other-than-temporary impairment of securities and the methodology used by management to make this evaluation.
-
Other real estate owned (OREO) are assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosures and are held for sale. Initially the OREO is recorded at fair value less cost to sell 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. More information regarding the valuation methods used as well as the accounting for OREO is presented in Note 5 Other Real Estate Owned and Note 14 Fair Value Measurements of the Companys consolidated financial statements.
-
Income tax accounting policies have the objective to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entitys financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Companys consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could impact the Companys consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Additional discussion on the accounting for income taxes is presented in Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and in Note 8 Income Taxes of the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Non-GAAP Presentations
The Company, in referring to its net income, is referring to income computed under GAAP. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also refers to various calculations that are non-GAAP presentations. They include:
-
Fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) adjustments are the result of increasing income from tax-free investments by an amount equal to the taxes that would be paid if the income were fully taxable based on a 34% Federal income tax rate, thus making tax-exempt yields comparable to taxable asset yields.
-
Efficiency ratio is computed as a percentage of non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income (on an FTE basis) and non-interest income. This is a financial measure which may provide important information concerning the Companys operational efficiency. Comparison of the Companys efficiency ratio with those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may calculate the efficiency ratio differently.

Results of Operations
The Company reported net income totaled $6.896 million, or $2.56 diluted per common share, in 2013 compared to $5.481 million, or $2.04 diluted per common share in 2012. Net income increased $1.415 million for 2013 compared to 2012. The increase was primarily the result of a $5.814 million increase in non-interest income that was offset by an increase of $2.385 million in non-interest expense, a decrease of $1.174 million in net interest income, and an increase in provision for loan losses and provision for income taxes of $239 thousand and $601 thousand, respectively.
Virginia National Bankshares Corporation has two reportable segments, the commercial bank and VNBTrust. Commercial banking involves making loans and generating deposits from individuals and businesses. Loan fee income, service charges from deposit accounts, and other non-interest-related fees such as automatic teller machine fees and safe deposit box fees generate additional income for the commercial bank. VNBTrust services include investment management, trust account administration, and estate planning. VNBTrust receives fees on both a fixed basis and a performance basis for providing of these services.
The commercial bank earned net income of $2.049 million in 2013, $111 thousand more than the $1.938 million earned in 2012. VNBTrust earned net income of $4.847 million in 2013, compared to net income of $3.543 million in 2012, an increase of $1.304 million.
Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.
Consolidated Return on Equity and Assets
The annualized ratio of net income to average total assets and average shareholders' equity and certain other ratios for the periods indicated are as follows:
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | ||||
Return on average assets | 1.40% | 1.11% | 0.51% | |||
Return on average equity | 12.70% | 10.90% | 4.95% | |||
Average equity to average assets | 11.04% | 10.21% | 10.21% | |||
Cash dividend payout ratio | 5.86% | 0.00% | 0.00% |
One of the ratios the Company examines in its evaluation of net income is the efficiency ratio, which measures the cost to produce one dollar of revenue. A lower ratio, computed by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income (on an FTE basis) and non-interest income, is an indicator of increased efficiency. The efficiency ratio for 2013 was positively impacted as a result of a revenue increase of $4.732 million as compared to 2012 and despite an increase in non-interest expense of $2.385 million in 2013 over 2012. The increases in revenue and expense in 2013 from 2012 was primarily attributable to VNBTrust's performance fee revenue and VNBTrust's incentive compensation expense. Similarly, the efficiency ratio for 2012 improved from 2011 as a result of an increase in revenue of $6.542 million that came namely from VNBTrust's performance fee revenue. Non-interest expense for 2012 was $2.277 million greater than 2011 due in part to OREO valuation write downs and an increase in VNBTrusts incentive compensation that was associated with the higher performance fee revenue.
The efficiency ratio for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 is shown below.
2013 | 2012 | 2011 | ||||
Efficiency Ratio | 67.9% | 70.9% | 82.0% |
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is computed as the difference between the interest income on earning assets and the interest expense on deposits and other interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income represents the principal source of revenue. Net interest income represented 45.0% of total revenue in 2013. Net interest margin is the ratio of taxable-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and net interest margin.
19
During 2013, net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, was $14.601 million compared to $15.683 million in 2012. The $1.082 million decline in tax-equivalent net interest income year to year was mainly attributed to interest margin compression during this period of historically low interest rates. The net interest margin, which is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, declined 21 basis points to 3.21% for the year ended December 31, 2013 from 3.42% reported for 2012. Further, the decrease in the net interest margin for 2012 was 31 basis points from the 3.73% net interest margin reported for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Total interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, aggregated $15.598 million for 2013, down $1.366 million from 2012, primarily as a result of a decline in loan interest income of $1.722 million. The decline in total interest income from loan income was partially offset by an increase of $389 thousand in tax equivalent interest income from the investment portfolio when comparing 2013 to 2012. In comparing 2012 to 2011, total interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, declined $884 thousand to $16.964 million in 2012 from $17.848 million in 2011. The tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets was 3.43% for 2013, compared to 3.70% for 2012 and 4.14% for 2011.
The $1.722 million decrease in interest income earned on the loan portfolio for 2013, from $14.720 million in 2012, was mainly attributable to rate adjustments and lower rates on new loans. The yield on the loan portfolio decreased to 4.43% for 2013 from 4.99% for 2012, resulting in a decrease of $1.567 million in loan income. The remaining $155 thousand decline in interest earned on loans for 2013 was due to a slight decrease in average loan balances to $293.5 million in 2013, fairly level with the average balance of $294.8 million for 2012.
The decline in interest income earned on the loan portfolio during 2013 was a continuation of the rate compression experienced over the past few years during this period of historically low rates and intense competition for loans. Loan interest income had decreased $1.061 million for 2012 from $15.781 million in 2011. The yield on the loan portfolio decreased 44 basis points in 2012 from 5.43% for 2011.
Although earning assets averaged $4.153 million less in 2013 than in 2012, the change in the mix of earning assets contributed positively to the change in net interest income. The major volume changes occurred with the average balances in low yielding federal funds sold declining $24.650 million year over year, offset by the Companys securities portfolio averaging $21.357 million more in 2013 versus 2012. The increase in the securities portfolio balances was the result of managements efforts to deploy excess funds in overnight federal funds sold, which earned on average 0.22% during 2013, by investing in securities which earned on average 1.99%.
Interest earned on the securities portfolio, on a tax-equivalent basis, increased to $2.513 million for 2013 from $2.124 million in 2012 and $2.019 million in 2011. Average securities balances increased to $126.157 million (27.7% of average earning assets) for 2013 from $104.800 million (22.8% of average earning assets) and $89.227 million (20.7% of average earning assets) in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The average yield on investment securities declined only 4 basis points from 2.03% in the corresponding 2012 period. In 2011, the average yield on the investment portfolio was 2.26%, or 23 basis points higher than in 2012. The continuing low rate environment continues to impact the overall portfolio yield.
Managements asset/liability strategy for the investment portfolio, starting in 2012, was to diversify the investment portfolio by adding mortgage-backed securities and bank-qualified municipal bonds. The average duration of the investment portfolio continues to be relatively short. Adding mortgage-backed securities has resulted in providing a consistent stream of cash flow that can be diverted to loan growth or re-invested in higher yielding securities when interest rates rise.
Total interest expense decreased by $284 thousand for 2013 to $997 thousand from $1.281 million for 2012, mainly due to a decline in the rates paid for interest-bearing liabilities from 0.43% for 2012 to 0.32% for 2013. The decrease in interest expense was partially a result of lower time deposit rates and a change in the mix of deposit balances. Time deposit rates averaged 0.59% in 2013, or 18 basis points lower than the 0.77% paid in 2012. In total, the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $7.687 million. Average time deposit balances decreased $8.016 million in 2013, while average balances on interest checking accounts, daily overnight repurchase agreements, and money market accounts increased $10.056 million, $4.968 million, and $679 thousand, respectively.
20
Total interest expense decreased by $492 thousand for 2012 from $1.773 million for 2011. Further, rates paid for interest-bearing liabilities declined from 0.59% for 2011 to 0.43% for 2012. Over these same periods, time deposit rates averaged 30 basis points lower than the 1.07% paid in 2011. Average time deposit balances decreased $9.498 million in 2012 compared to 2011, while average interest checking and money market account balances increased $5.260 million and $2.710 million, respectively, for a net decline in the average balance of interest-bearing deposit accounts of $1.528 million.
A continuing primary driver of the Companys low cost of funds compared to peers is the Companys level of non-interest bearing demand deposits and low-cost deposit accounts. Below is a table illustrating the average balances of these accounts as a percentage of total deposit account balances.

Provision for Loan Losses
The level of the allowance reflects changes in the size of the portfolio or in any of its components as well as managements continuing evaluation of industry concentrations, specific credit risks, loan loss experience, current loan portfolio quality and economic, political and regulatory conditions. Portions of the allowance may be allocated for specific credits; however, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in managements judgment, should be charged off. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond the Companys control, including the performance of the Companys loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward loan classifications. Additional information concerning managements methodology in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is contained in Note 1 and Note 4 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, found in Item 8.
Based on managements continuing evaluation of the loan portfolio in 2013, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $160 thousand, compared to 2012 when the Company recorded a net recovery of loan loss provision of $79 thousand. The net increase in loan balances of $16.045 million as of December 31, 2013 from December 31, 2012 was the major factor influencing the $239 thousand variance in the provision for loan loss between 2013 and 2012. As of December 31, 2013, the allowance for loan losses was $3.360 million, an increase of $93 thousand from $3.267 million at December 31, 2012. In 2011, the provision for loan loss totaled $535 thousand, and the allowance for loan loss ended that year at $3.741 million.
Factors positively affecting the provision for the years 2013 and 2012 compared to 2011 included an improved economic climate, an overall improvement in asset quality, and a lower level of net charge-offs. These factors resulted in the Companys allowance to total loans outstanding ratio to be 1.12% at December 31, 2013, compared to the 1.15% reported at December 31, 2012 and the 1.28% at December 31, 2011.
There were $161 thousand in loan balances charged off during 2013, with a total of $94 thousand in recoveries of previously charged-off balances. This resulted in net charge-offs of $67 thousand during 2013 and compares favorably to the net charge-offs of $395 thousand and $524 thousand reported for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans remained strong at 0.02% for 2013 compared to 0.13% for 2012 and 0.18% for 2011. See the section captioned Allowance for Loan Losses elsewhere in this discussion and Note 3 Loans in the notes to consolidated financial statements, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, elsewhere in this report for further details of the risk factors considered by management in estimating the necessary level of the allowance for loan losses.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income increased to $17.854 million for 2013 from $12.040 million in 2012. The increase of $5.814 million principally resulted from fee revenues from VNBTrust, which were up $5.252 million in 2013 as compared to 2012. Non-interest income, exclusive of trust fees, totaled $2.873 million in 2013, an increase of $562 thousand as compared to $2.311 million in 2012.

VNBTrust Non-Interest Income is primarily derived from two forms of fee income: performance fees and fixed fees. Performance fees are based on the year-over-year increase in value (both realized and unrealized gains) in assets under management, while fixed fees are set as a percent of assets under management without regards to investment returns. VNBTrust recorded $12.267 million in performance fee income in 2013 as compared to $7.215 million in 2012, an increase of 70.0%. The significant increase in performance fees in 2013 as compared to 2012 bears some correlation to the over 30% returns generated in the U.S. equity markets during 2013. VNBTrust recorded fixed fee income of $2.714 million in 2013, which is an increase of $200 thousand when compared to the $2.514 million reported in 2012. In accordance with pre-established agreements, VNBTrust staff was compensated based on the level of fees earned. There is a correlated increase in salaries and benefits expense for 2013 and 2012 that is discussed below under non-interest expense.
Gain on Sale of Assets increased $325 thousand in the year-over-year comparison. The $304 thousand gain for 2013 was the result of the sale of Swift Run Capital Management Company, LLC to SRCM Holdings, LLC in the amount of $302 thousand and an associated gain on sale from furniture and equipment acquired by SRCM Holdings, LLC that resulted in a gain of $2 thousand. Additional details on this transaction are found in Note 1, of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, under Item 8.
Earnings/Increase in the Value of Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) were higher in 2013 by $165 thousand. In 2013, the policies increased in value by $445 thousand as compared to $280 thousand during the prior year. In November 2012, additional policies of approximately $5.001 million were purchased which accounted for the increased earnings for 2013. The value of BOLI at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $12.595 million and $12.150 million, respectively.
Other Non-Interest Income increased $213 thousand in 2013, primarily as a result of income from brokerage services of $110 thousand in 2013. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company started offering annuity, insurance and brokerage services under the trade name of VNB Investment Strategies under a networking arrangement with LPL Financial LLC.
Non-Interest Expense
In September 2012, the Board of Directors of the Bank approved a new multi-year strategic plan. The plan is aimed at making certain changes to the Banks business model, while maintaining the Banks customer first culture. The plans goals are aimed at addressing the changing banking landscape due to new regulatory requirements that are costly to implement and maintain; and also limited income from traditional revenue sources.
The plans goals are to reduce operating expenses in a number of ways including: eliminating vacant positions, services that were no longer relevant, and programs that were not likely to achieve a desired profitability level. Most of the changes indicated in the plan became effective in 2013; however, there are a number of other cost reductions and new non-interest income opportunities that are slated to be deployed over time.
25
Although total non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $22.035 million, and is an increase of $2.385 million from the $19.650 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2012, the increase was primarily due to an increase of $3.395 million in VNBTrust incentive compensation, associated with the higher performance fee revenue discussed above. Non-interest expense, excluding the VNBTrust incentive compensation cost, was $16.491 million for 2013 and ended the year $1.010 million lower than the $17.501 million recorded in 2012 as non-interest expense.
The major components of non-interest expense are detailed below for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The personnel expenses related to the VNBTrust incentive compensation have been separated from the remaining non-interest expense categories to allow a more meaningful year-to-year comparison.

Total Salaries and Employee Benefits were higher in 2013, by $2.784 million compared to 2012. The primary reason was an increase of $3.395 million in the total booked as VNBTrust incentive compensation as discussed previously. Incentive compensation expenses of $5.544 million were recorded for 2013, compared to $2.149 million recorded for 2012. Higher incentive compensation costs, calculated in accordance with pre-established formulas, were related to the increased performance fee revenue for VNBTrust. Excluding the VNBTrust incentive compensation cost for both years, personnel expense was $8.202 million for 2013 or $611 thousand lower when compared to $8.813 million for 2012. The decline in salaries and employee benefits is directly related to the Banks multi-year financial strategic plan.
Net Occupancy and Equipment Expenses were reduced by $230 thousand in 2013 to $2.790 million, from $3.020 million in 2012. The declines in depreciation cost of $153 thousand and equipment maintenance costs of $75 thousand were the primary reason for the decrease in these expenses.
FDIC Deposit Insurance Assessments decreased $77 thousand in 2013 to $248 thousand as compared to $325 thousand for 2012. A decline in both the assessment base and the assessment rate in 2013 positively influenced the amounts paid to the FDIC. Please see Deposit Insurance in the Supervision and Regulation section earlier in this report, under Item 1. Business; Supervision and Regulation; the Bank.
OREO Write Downs and Expenses decreased by $623 thousand during 2013 as compared to 2012. The decline was associated primarily with a lower level of OREO valuation write-downs in 2013 compared to 2012. In 2012, OREO write downs totaled $845 thousand; however, $178 thousand was recognized as write downs in 2013. Other OREO expenses increased by $44 thousand in 2013, as additional building repairs and maintenance were needed on OREO properties to make them marketable.
26
Professional Fees and Other Expenses increased by $470 thousand primarily as a result of the legal and consulting fees associated with the formation of the bank holding company and changes to the new wealth management model in 2013.
Provision for Income Taxes
For 2013, the Company provided $3.212 million for Federal income taxes, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 31.8%. In 2012, the Company provided $2.611 million for Federal income taxes, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 32.3%. The effective income tax rates differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 34% during the comparable periods primarily due to the effect of tax-exempt income from municipal bonds and life insurance policies. The lower effective tax rate during 2013 was partly related to an increase in the relative proportion of tax-exempt income as the Company purchased additional tax-exempt municipal securities and it had the full-year effect of additional life insurance purchased in the fourth quarter of 2012. Please see Note 8 in the notes to consolidated financial statements, contained in Item 8, for a discussion regarding net deferred tax.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Securities
The investment securities portfolio has a primary role in the management of the Companys liquidity requirements, interest rate sensitivity and in generating substantial interest income. Investment securities play a key role in diversifying the Companys balance sheet. In addition, investment securities are pledged as collateral for public fund deposits and for commercial customers utilizing the Banks overnight repurchase program. Changes in deposit and other funding balances and in loan production will impact the overall level of the investment portfolio.
As of December 31, 2013, the Companys investment portfolio totaled $134.672 million, of which obligations of U.S. government corporations and government-sponsored enterprises amounted to $103.347 million which is approximately 77.7% of the total. The investment portfolio as of December 31, 2012 totaled $118.573 million. The year over year growth of 13.6% was primarily a result of managements focus on maximizing the earning capacity of the Companys excess liquidity by moving funds from overnight federal funds and into investment securities.
In accordance with ASC 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities, the Company has categorized its unrestricted securities portfolio as Available for Sale (AFS). Securities classified as AFS may be sold in the future, prior to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as AFS would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Companys assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. AFS securities are carried at fair value. Net aggregate unrealized gains or losses on these securities are included, net of taxes, as a component of shareholders equity. All of the Companys securities were investment grade or better as of December 31, 2013. Given the generally high credit quality of the portfolio, management expects to realize all of its investment upon market recovery or the maturity of such instruments and thus believes that any impairment in value is interest-rate-related and therefore temporary. AFS securities included gross unrealized gains of $904 thousand and gross unrealized losses of $3.073 million as of December 31, 2013.
During the third quarter of 2013, the Company reclassified its held to maturity (HTM) securities as AFS. Management determined that it no longer had the positive intent to hold the securities classified as HTM for an indefinite period of time because of managements desire to have more flexibility in managing the investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had three corporate and municipal securities designated as HTM recorded at an amortized cost of $2.699 million. The fair value of these securities was $2.733 million, reflecting an unrealized gross gain of $34 thousand. The unrealized gross gain of $34 thousand, net of income taxes, was recorded as other comprehensive income at the time of the transfer. As a result of this transfer, there were no securities classified as held to maturity as of December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, the HTM portfolio totaled $5.991 million and consisted of corporate and municipal bonds.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, proceeds from the sales of securities amounted to $16.854 million and realized gains on these securities were $50 thousand. For the year ended December 31, 2012, proceeds from the sales of securities amounted to $10.307 million and realized gains on these securities were $133 thousand.

Loan Portfolio
A management objective is to maintain the quality of the loan portfolio. The Company seeks to achieve this objective by maintaining rigorous underwriting standards coupled with regular evaluation of the creditworthiness of and the designation of lending limits for each borrower. The portfolio strategies include seeking industry and loan size diversification in order to minimize credit exposure and originating loans in markets with which the Company is familiar. The predominant market area for loans is Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Orange County, Winchester, Frederick County and adjacent counties.
The Companys loan portfolio totaled $300.034 million as of December 31, 2013 or 58.5% of total assets. Loan balances increased $15.174 million, or 5.3% from the balance of $284.860 million as of December 31, 2012.
Based on underwriting standards, loans and leases may be secured in whole or in part by collateral such as liquid assets, accounts receivable, equipment, inventory and real property. The collateral securing any loan may depend on the type of loan and may vary in value based on market conditions.
The Companys commercial and industrial loan portfolio totaled $48.060 million and represented approximately 16.0% of all loans as of December 31, 2013. Loans in this category are typically made to individuals and small and medium-sized businesses. Loans for construction and land development totaled $18.461 million and represented 6.2% of all loans as of December 31, 2013, which is an increase of $4.268 million from December 31, 2012. Loans to consumers, included revolving credit and other fixed payment loans totaled $13.6 million as of December 31, 2013 or 4.5% of all loans.
The Companys real estate loan portfolio realized the largest year over year increase of $6.567 million from the balance as of December 31, 2012 to $219.909 million as of December 31, 2013. This category represented approximately 73.3% of all loans, and these loans are secured by mortgages on real property located principally in Virginia. Of this amount, approximately $83.912 million represented loans on residential properties. Commercial real estate loans totaled $135.997 million as of December 31, 2013. Sources of repayment are from the borrowers operating profits, cash flows and liquidation of pledged collateral.

Loan Asset Quality
Intrinsic to the lending process is the possibility of loss. In times of economic slowdown, the risk of loss inherent in the Companys loan portfolio may increase. While management endeavors to minimize this risk, it recognizes that loan losses will occur and that the amount of these losses will fluctuate depending on the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, which in turn depend on current and future economic conditions, the financial condition of borrowers, the realization of collateral, and the credit management process.
The Company places a loan on non-accrual status when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collections efforts, that it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, or when the loan is past due for 90 days or more, unless the debt is both well-secured and in the process of collection.

At December 31, 2013, the Company had five loans with balances of $367 thousand classified as non-accrual. This compares favorably to December 31, 2012, when the Company had seven loans with balances of $1.403 million classified as non-accrual. This decrease was primarily due to the addition of one non-accrual loan in the fourth quarter of 2012, which was being carried for $804 thousand as of December 31, 2012. During the second quarter of 2013, the property securing this loan was foreclosed upon, and the Company was carrying this $804 thousand as OREO as of December 31, 2013. See Note 3 Loans in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 for further details regarding the Companys loan asset quality measurements.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company is committed to determining, on an ongoing basis, the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses. The Company applies historical loss rates to various pools of loans. Thereafter, the adequacy of the allowance is evaluated through reference to the following qualitative factors: national and local economic trends; underlying collateral values; loan delinquency status and trends; loan risk classifications; industry concentrations; lending policies; experience, ability and depth of lending staff; and levels of policy exceptions.
At December 31, 2013, the allowance was $3.360 million and represented 1.12% of outstanding loans. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2012, was $3.267 million and represented 1.15% of outstanding loans. The purpose of the allowance is to provide for potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Since risks to the loan portfolio include general economic trends as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the allowance is an estimate.
Activity for the allowance for loan losses is provided in the following table.

Deposits
Depository accounts represent the Companys primary source of funds and are comprised of demand deposits, interest-bearing checking accounts, money market deposit accounts and time deposits. These deposits have been provided predominantly by individuals, professionals and small businesses in the Charlottesville/Albemarle area, the Orange County area, and the Winchester area.
Depository accounts held by the Company as of December 31, 2013, totaled $430.460 million, a decrease of $14.962 million or 3.4% as compared to the December 31, 2012 total of $445.422 million. The decline in deposit balances was anticipated by management as an indication that customers are moving back into the investment markets or are continuing to deleverage themselves. These situations are considered normal transactional activity for the Companys diverse customer base.
At December 31, 2013, the balances of non-interest bearing demand deposits were 32.7% of total deposits, increasing to $140.911 million from $131.559 million, or 29.5% of total deposits at December 31, 2012. Interest-bearing transaction and money market accounts totaled $165.387 million and $183.720 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Companys low-cost deposit accounts, which include both non-interest and interest bearing checking accounts as well as money market accounts, represented 71.2% of total deposit account balances at December 31, 2013 and compares favorably to the 70.8% of total deposit account balances at December 31, 2012.
Certificates of deposit and other time deposit balances decreased 4.6% to $124.162 million at December 31, 2013 from the balance of $130.143 million at December 31, 2012. Included in this deposit total were brokered deposits totaling $25.0 million and $28.7 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which were reciprocal relationships under the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS), whereby depositors can obtain FDIC insurance on deposits up to $50 million.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The Companys primary earnings source is its net interest income; therefore, the Company devotes significant time and has invested in resources to assist in the management of interest rate risk and asset quality. The Companys net interest income is affected by changes in market interest rates, and by the level and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Companys objectives in its asset/liability management are to utilize its capital effectively, to provide adequate liquidity and to enhance net interest income, without taking undue risks or subjecting the Company unduly to interest rate fluctuations. The Company takes a coordinated approach to the management of its liquidity, capital and interest rate risk. This risk management process is governed by policies and limits established by management, which are reviewed and approved by the Banks Asset/Liability Committee. This committee, which is comprised of directors and members of management, meets to review, among other things, economic conditions, interest rates, yield curves, cash flow projections, expected customer actions, liquidity levels, capital ratios and repricing characteristics of assets, liabilities and financial instruments.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market indices such as interest rates. The Companys principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between market interest rates and net interest income due to the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. The Company monitors the interest rate sensitivity of its balance sheet positions by examining its near-term sensitivity and its longer-term gap position. In its management of interest rate risk, the Company utilizes several financial and statistical tools including traditional gap analysis and sophisticated income simulation models. A traditional gap analysis is prepared based on the maturity and repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for selected time bands. The mismatch between repricings or maturities within a time band is commonly referred to as the gap for that period. A positive gap (asset sensitive) where interest rate sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities generally will result in the net interest margin increasing in a rising rate environment and decreasing in a falling rate environment. A negative gap (liability sensitive) will generally have the opposite result on the net interest margin. However, the traditional gap analysis does not assess the relative sensitivity of assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates and other factors that could have an impact on interest rate sensitivity or net interest income. The Company utilizes the gap analysis to complement its income simulations modeling, primarily focusing on the longer-term structure of the balance sheet. The Companys balance sheet structure is primarily short-term in nature with a substantial portion of assets and liabilities repricing or maturing within one year.
The Company utilizes income simulation models to complement its traditional gap analysis. While the Asset/Liability Committee routinely monitors simulated net interest income sensitivity over a rolling two-year horizon, it also utilizes additional tools to monitor potential longer-term interest rate risk. The income simulation models measure the Companys net interest income volatility or sensitivity to interest rate changes utilizing statistical techniques that allow the Company to consider various factors which impact net interest income. These factors include actual maturities, estimated cash flows, repricing characteristics, deposit growth/retention and, most importantly, the relative sensitivity of the Companys assets and liabilities to changes in market interest rates. This relative sensitivity is important to consider as the Companys core deposit base has not been subject to the same degree of interest rate sensitivity as its assets. The core deposit costs are internally managed and tend to exhibit less sensitivity to changes in interest rates than the Companys adjustable rate assets whose yields are based on external indices and generally change in concert with market interest rates. The Companys interest rate sensitivity is determined by identifying the probable impact of changes in market interest rates on the yields on the Companys assets and the rates that would be paid on its liabilities. This modeling technique involves a degree of estimation based on certain assumptions that management believes to be reasonable. Utilizing this process, management projects the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest margin. The Company has established certain policy limits for the potential volatility of its net interest margin assuming certain levels of changes in market interest rates with the objective of maintaining a stable net interest margin under various probable rate scenarios. Management generally has maintained a risk position well within the policy limits.
35
Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to: prepayment/refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes, and other variables. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that the Asset/Liability Committee might take in responding to or anticipating changes in interest rates.

The shape of the yield curve can cause downward pressure on net interest income. In general, if and to the extent that the yield curve is flatter (i.e., the differences between interest rates for different maturities are relatively smaller) than previously anticipated, then the yield on the Companys interest earning assets and its cash flows will tend to be lower. Management believes that a relatively flat yield curve could continue to affect adversely the Companys results in 2014.
36
Liquidity
Liquidity represents the Companys ability to provide funds to meet customer demand for loan and deposit withdrawals without impairing profitability. Effective management of balance sheet liquidity is necessary to fund growth in earning assets and to pay liability maturities and depository customers withdrawal requirements. The Company maintains a Liquidity Management Policy that is approved annually by the Board of Directors. The policy sets limits on a number of areas, including limits on the amount of non-core liabilities, and funding long-term assets with non-core liabilities.
The Banks customer base has provided a stable and steadily increasing source of funds and liquidity. Limits contained within the Banks Investment Policy also provides for appropriate levels of liquidity through maturities and cash flows within the securities portfolio. Other sources of balance sheet liquidity are obtained from the repayment of loan proceeds and overnight investments. The Bank has numerous secondary sources of liquidity including access to borrowing arrangements from a number of correspondent banks. Available borrowing arrangements maintained by the Bank include formal federal funds lines with three major regional correspondent banks, access to advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and access to the discount window at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

(dollars in thousands)
Correspondent Banks | $ | 31,000 |

Total Available | $ | 64,300 |
As of December 31, 2013, there were no outstanding balances for any borrowing lines.
Any excess funds are sold on a daily basis in the federal funds market. The Company maintained an average of $33.770 million outstanding in federal funds sold during 2013. On December 31, 2013, the Company sold $27.201 million in the overnight federal funds market. The Company intends to maintain sufficient liquidity at all times to meet its funding commitments.
Capital
The Company is subject to risk-based capital regulations which quantitatively measure capital against risk-weighted assets, including certain off-balance-sheet items. These regulations define the elements of the Tier 1 and Tier 2 components of total capital and currently establish minimum ratios of 4% for Tier 1 capital and 8% for Total capital for capital adequacy purposes. Supplementing these regulations is a leverage requirement. This requirement establishes a minimum leverage ratio (at least 3% or 4%, depending upon an institutions regulatory status), which is calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital by adjusted quarterly average assets (after deducting goodwill). Information regarding the Companys risk-based capital at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is presented in Note 12 Capital Requirements of the notes to consolidated financial statements, contained in Item 7.
The banking regulatory agencies have encouraged banking organizations, including healthy, well-run banking organizations, to operate with capital ratios substantially in excess of the stated ratios required to maintain well capitalized status. This is a result of, among other things, current economic conditions, the global financial crisis and increased formal capital requirements for banking organizations. In light of the foregoing, the Company expects to maintain capital ratios substantially in excess of these ratios due to the new Basel III capital regulations.
37
The elements currently comprising Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital, the minimum Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios and the minimum leverage ratio may in the future be subject to change, as discussed in greater detail under the caption Supervision and Regulation, found earlier in this report under Item 1. Business.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The Companys financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the Company to measure financial position and operating results primarily in terms of historical dollars. Changes in the relative value of money due to inflation or recession are generally not considered. The primary effect of inflation on the operations of the Company is reflected in increased operating costs. In managements opinion, changes in interest rates affect the financial condition of a financial institution to a far greater degree than do changes in the inflation rate.
While interest rates are greatly influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of the Company, including changes in the expected rate of inflation, the influence of general and local economic conditions, and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government, its agencies and various other governmental regulatory authorities, among other things, as further discussed under the caption Asset/Liability Management, found earlier in this section.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Additional information concerning the Companys off-balance sheet arrangements is contained in Note 10 of the notes to consolidated financial statements, found in Item 8.
Contractual Commitments
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries enter into contractual obligations, including obligations on lease arrangements, contractual commitments for capital expenditures, and service contracts. The significant contractual obligations include the leasing of certain of its banking and operations offices under operating lease agreements on terms ranging from 1 to 20 years with renewal options.
Following is a schedule of future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases that have initial or remaining terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2013:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Virginia National Bankshares Corporation
Charlottesville, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Virginia National Bankshares Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys 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 Bank is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 Companys 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 Virginia National Bankshares Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Organization
Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (the Company) is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. On June 19, 2013, the shareholders of Virginia National Bank (the Bank) approved a Reorganization Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (Reorganization) whereby the Bank would reorganize into a holding company structure. The Plan of Share Exchange called for each outstanding share of Bank common stock to be automatically converted into and exchanged for one share of the Company common stock, and the common shareholders of the Bank would become the common shareholders of the Company on the effective date of the Reorganization. The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $2.50 per share. Additionally, the Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a par value $2.50 per share. There is currently no preferred stock outstanding. There are no plans currently nor does the Board of Directors of the Company anticipate any need in the foreseeable future to issue shares of preferred stock.
On December 16, 2013, the Reorganization became effective, and the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The holding company is regulated under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (BHC Act) and is subject to inspection, examination, and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board.
Virginia National Bank was organized in 1998 under federal law as a national banking association to engage in a general commercial and retail banking business. The Bank is headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia and serves the Virginia communities in and around the City of Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Orange County and the City of Winchester. The Bank continues to be subject to the supervision, examination and regulation of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) following the Reorganization.
On May 1, 2007, the OCC granted conditional approval to the Banks application to establish a new national trust bank with the title VNBTrust, National Association (VNBTrust). VNBTrust operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. Additionally, the OCC approved the Banks application for VNBTrust to create a wholly owned operating subsidiary, VNB Investment Management Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation. In January, 2010, VNB Investment Management Company changed its name to Swift Run Capital Management, LLC (SRCM). SRCM serves as the general partner of Swift Run Capital, L.P. (the Fund), a private investment fund.
On July 18, 2013 (the Closing Date), VNBTrust completed the sale of all of the membership interests of SRCM to SRCM Holdings LLC (SRCM Holdings) pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement dated June 27, 2013 among SRCM Holdings, VNBTrust, SRCM and the Bank (the Sale Agreement). The Fund represented less than 7 percent of the total assets managed by VNBTrust and its subsidiary on the Closing Date. Under the terms of the Sale Agreement, SRCM Holdings agreed to pay VNBTrust, quarterly during the ten-year period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2023 (the Term), (a) ongoing acquisition royalty payments equal to (i) 20% of the management and performance fee revenue received by SRCM from limited partners of the Fund as of the Closing Date and (ii) 20% of the management and performance fee revenue received by SRCM from VNBTrust clients that opened accounts with SRCM within 30 days of the Closing Date, and (b) ongoing referral payments equal to 20% of the management and performance fee revenue received by SRCM from clients referred by the Company and its affiliates to SRCM during the Term. The Company recognized $302,000 as gain from the sale of SRCM in 2013, which amount included an estimate of the present value of the portion of the acquisition royalty payments to be received from management fees during the Term.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to the reporting guidelines prescribed by regulatory authorities. The following is a description of the more significant of those policies and practices.
Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, and VNBTrust. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, deferred tax assets, valuation of other real estate owned, and fair value measurements.
45
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Cash Flow Reporting For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, funds due from banks, and federal funds sold.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase The Company sells certain securities under agreements to repurchase. The agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The dollar amount of the securities underlying the agreements remain in the asset accounts.
Securities Unrestricted investments are to be classified in two categories as described below.
- Securities Held to Maturity
Securities classified as held to
maturity are those debt and equity securities the Company has both the
positive intent and ability to hold to maturity regardless of changes in
market conditions, liquidity needs or changes in general economic conditions.
During the third quarter of 2013, the Company reclassified held to maturity
securities as available for sale. Management determined that it no longer had
the positive intent to hold the securities classified as held to maturity for
an indefinite period of time because of Managements desire to have more
flexibility in managing the investment portfolio.
- Securities Available for Sale Securities classified as available for sale are those debt and equity securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Companys assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income. Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific securities sold, are included in earnings.
Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities or to call dates, whichever occurs first. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.
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-than-likely that the Company 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 of the security exceeds the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security. If there is no credit loss, there is no other-than-temporary impairment. If there is a credit loss, other-than-temporary impairment exists, and the credit loss must be recognized in net income and the remaining portion of impairment must be recognized in other comprehensive income.
Restricted Securities As members of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (FRB) and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB), the Bank is required to maintain certain minimum investments in the common stock of the FRB and the FHLB, which are carried at cost. Required levels of investments are based upon the Banks capital and a percentage of qualifying assets.
Loans Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding net of unearned discounts and of the allowance for loan losses. Interest income on loans is reported on the level-yield method and includes amortization of deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Further information regarding the Companys accounting policies related to past due loans, non-accrual loans, impaired loans and troubled-debt restructurings is presented in Note 3 - Loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents managements best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing loan portfolio. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses includes allowance allocations calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC Topic 310, Receivables and allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies. Further information regarding the Companys policies and methodology used to estimate the allowance for loan losses is presented in Note 4 Allowance for Loan Losses.
46
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 or its subsidiaries put 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 or its subsidiaries 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.
Premises and Equipment Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of assets, which range from 3 to 40 years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The costs of major renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Upon disposition, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the books and any resulting gain or loss is charged to income. More information regarding premises and equipment is presented in Note 6 Premises and Equipment.
Other Real Estate Owned Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosures are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell 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 for foreclosed assets. More information regarding other real estate owned is presented in Note 5 Other Real Estate Owned.
Bank Owned Life Insurance The Company has purchased life insurance on certain key employees. These policies are recorded at their cash surrender value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Income generated from polices is recorded as noninterest income.
Fair Value Measurements ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial instruments are based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. Additional information on fair value measurements is presented in Note 14 Fair Value Measurements.
Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for all plans under recognition and measurement accounting principles which require that the compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Stock-based compensation arrangements include stock options and restricted stock. Stock-based compensation is estimated at the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option valuation model for determining fair value. The model employs the following assumptions:
- Dividend yield - calculated as the ratio of historical cash dividends
paid per share of common stock to the
stock price on the date of grant;
- Expected life (term of the option)
- based on the average of the
contractual life and vesting schedule for
the respective option;
- Expected volatility - based on the monthly historical volatility of the
Companys stock price over the expected
life of the options;
- Risk-free interest rate - based upon the U.S. Treasury bill yield curve, for periods within the contractual life of the option, in effect at the time of grant.
The Company is required to estimate forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense and that this estimate of forfeitures be adjusted over the requisite service period or vesting schedule based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment, which is recognized in the period of change, and also will impact the amount of estimated unamortized compensation expense to be recognized in future periods. Further information on stock-based compensation is presented in Note 17 Stock Incentive Plans.
47
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per share represent income available to common shareholders 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 to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method. Additional information on earnings per share are presented in Note 18 Earnings Per Share.
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, 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. Further information on the Companys other comprehensive income is presented in Note 19 Other Comprehensive Income.
Advertising Costs The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as they are incurred.
Income Taxes Deferred taxes are provided on the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, operating loss carry forwards, and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
When tax returns are filed, it is highly probable 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 statements of income. Further information on the Companys accounting policies for income taxes is presented in Note 8 Income Taxes.
VNBTrust Securities and other property held by VNBTrust in a fiduciary or agency capacity are not assets of the Bank and are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to current year presentation. The results of the reclassifications are not considered material.
Subsequent Events In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU requires entities to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
48
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in this ASU clarify the scope for derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to netting arrangements. An entity is required to apply the amendments for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, the amendments require a cross-reference to other disclosures currently required for other reclassification items to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. Companies should apply these amendments for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2012. The Company has included the required disclosures from ASU 2013-02 in the consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The amendments in this ASU permit the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (also referred to as the Overnight Index Swap Rate) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815, in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and the London Interbank Offered Rate. The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The amendments apply to all entities that elect to apply hedge accounting of the benchmark interest rate under Topic 815. The amendments are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Standards
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, InvestmentsEquity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. A reporting entity that uses the effective yield method to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects before the date of adoption may continue to apply the effective yield method for those preexisting investments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2014-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, ReceivablesTroubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU clarify that an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2014-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

All mortgage-backed securities included in the above tables were issued by U.S. government agencies and corporations. At December 31, 2013, the securities issued by political subdivisions or agencies were highly rated with 86% of the municipal bonds having AA or higher ratings. Approximately 83% of the municipal bonds are general obligation bonds with issuers that are geographically diverse.
Restricted securities are securities with limited marketability and consist of stock in the FRB and FHLB totaling $1,645,000 as of December 31, 2013 and $1,729,000 as of December 31, 2012. These restricted securities are carried at cost.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, proceeds from the sales of securities amounted to $16,854,000 and gross net realized gains on these securities were $50,000. For the year ended December 31, 2012, proceeds from the sales of securities amounted to $10,307,000 and gross net realized gains on these securities were $133,000.
During the third quarter of 2013, the Company reclassified held to maturity securities as available for sale. Management determined that it no longer had the positive intent to hold the securities classified as held to maturity for an indefinite period of time because of managements desire to have more flexibility in managing the investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had three corporate and municipal securities designated as held to maturity recorded at an amortized cost of $2,699,000. The fair value of these securities was $2,733,000, reflecting an unrealized gross gain of $34,000. The unrealized gross gain of $34,000, net of taxes, was recorded as other comprehensive income at the time of the transfer. As a result of this transfer, there were no securities classified as held to maturity as of December 31, 2013.

As of December 31, 2013, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale in the table above and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The Companys securities portfolio is primarily made up of fixed rate bonds, whose prices move inversely with interest rates. Any unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. At the end of any accounting period, the portfolio may have both unrealized gains and losses. Management does not believe any of the securities in an unrealized loss position are impaired due to credit quality. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2013, management believes the impairments detailed in the table above are temporary, and no impairment loss has been realized in the Companys consolidated income statement.

Loan Origination/Risk Management The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and the Board of Directors approves lending policies on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and non-performing and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions. Underwriting standards are designed to promote relationship banking rather than transactional banking.
Commercial and industrial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrowers ability to operate profitably and prudently expand its business. The Companys management examines current and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate personal guaranties; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Company avoids financing single-purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. At December 31, 2013, commercial real estate loans, including multifamily mortgages, totaled $136.0 million or 61.8% of the Companys outstanding balances of real estate loans. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans. Of the $113.4 million in commercial real estate loans outstanding at December 31, 2013, $58.8 million or 43.2% were owner-occupied properties.
Residential mortgages for 1-to-4 family properties and home equity loans have underwriting standards that are heavily influenced by statutory requirements, which include, but are not limited to, documentation requirements, limits on maximum loan-to-value percentages, and collection remedies. The Company typically originates shorter-term fixed-rate loans and adjustable-rate mortgages. At December 31, 2013, residential and home equity loans outstanding totaled $83.9 million or 38.2% of real estate mortgage loans.
Overdrafts. Deposit account overdrafts reported as loans totaled $51,000 and $213,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Independent loan review is performed by an independent loan review firm that reviews and validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis. Results of these reviews are presented to management and the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Companys policies and procedures.
Concentrations of Credit. Most of the Companys lending activity occurs within the Commonwealth of Virginia, primarily in the regions of surrounding markets. The majority of the Companys loan portfolio consists of commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. As of December 31, 2013, there were no concentrations of loans related to any single industry in excess of 20% of total loans.
Related Party Loans. In the ordinary course of business, the Company has granted loans to certain directors, executive officers and their affiliates (collectively referred to as related parties). These loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other unaffiliated persons and do not involve more than normal risk of collectability.
Activity in related party loans during 2013 is presented in the following table.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Past Due and Non-Accrual Loans. Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in managements opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. In determining whether or not a borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations for each class of loans, the Company considers the borrowers debt service capacity through the analysis of current financial information, if available, and/or current information with regards to the Companys collateral position. Regulatory provisions would typically require the placement of a loan on non-accrual status if (i) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection or (ii) full payment of principal and interest is not expected. Loans may be placed on non-accrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income on non-accrual loans is recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received in excess of principal due. A loan may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future principal and interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured, which is typically evidenced by a sustained period (at least six months) of repayment performance by the borrower.
The following tables show the aging of past due loans as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Also included are loans that are 90 or more days past due but still accruing, because they are well secured and in the process of collection. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had two such credits for a balance of $178,000. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had one loan for a balance of $35,000 that was 90 days or more past due but still accruing.

Impaired Loans. Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loans existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.
Regulatory guidelines require the Company to reevaluate the fair value of collateral supporting impaired collateral dependent loans on at least an annual basis. While the Companys policy is to comply with the regulatory guidelines, the Companys general practice is to reevaluate the fair value of collateral supporting impaired collateral dependent loans on a quarterly basis.
The following tables provide a breakdown by class of the loans classified as impaired loans as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. These loans are reported at their recorded investment, which is the carrying amount of the loan as reflected on the Companys balance sheet, net of charge-offs and other amounts applied to reduce the net book balance. Average recorded investment in impaired loans is computed using an average of month-end balances for these loans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Interest income recognized is for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) are also considered impaired loans. TDRs occur when the Bank agrees to modify the original terms of a loan by granting a concession that it would not otherwise consider due to the deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. These concessions are done in an attempt to improve the paying capacity of the borrower, and in some cases to avoid foreclosure, and are made with the intent to restore the loan to a performing status once sufficient payment history can be demonstrated. These concessions could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions.
The following provides a summary, by class, of modified loans that continue to accrue interest under the terms of the restructuring agreement, which are considered to be performing, and modified loans that have been placed in non-accrual status, which are considered to be nonperforming.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company has segmented certain loans in the portfolio by product type. Within these segments, the Company has sub-segmented its portfolio by classes, based on the associated risks within these classes.
LOAN CLASSES BY SEGMENTS | |
Commercial loan segment: | |
Commercial and industrial loans | |
Real estate construction and land loan segment: | |
Residential construction loans Other construction and land loans | |
Real estate mortgage loan segment: | |
1-4 family mortgages Home equity lines of credit Multifamily mortgages | |
Commercial owner occupied
real estate | |
Consumer loan segment: | |
Consumer revolving credit | |
Consumer all other credit |
Based upon the internal risk ratings assigned to each credit, a historical loss factor is assigned to the principal balances for each loan class. The historical loss factor is calculated by averaging the actual loan losses, for each loan class, from the previous twelve quarters.
The Companys internal creditworthiness grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans. Category ratings are reviewed quarterly by experienced senior lenders based on each borrowers situation. Additionally, internal and external monitoring and review of credits are conducted on an annual basis.
Loans that trend upward toward more positive risk ratings generally have a lower risk factor associated. Conversely, loans that migrate toward more negative ratings generally will result in a higher risk factor being applied to those related loan balances.
60
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Risk Ratings And Historical Loss Factor Applied
Satisfactory - modest risk loans where the borrower has strong and liquid financial statement and more than adequate cash flow
Average average risk loans where the borrower has reasonable debt service capacity
Marginal acceptable risk loans where the borrower has an acceptable financial statement but is leveraged
Watch acceptable risk loans which require more attention than normal servicing

In addition to the historical factors, the adequacy of the Companys allowance for credit losses is evaluated through reference to eight qualitative factors, listed below and ranked in order of importance:
1) | Changes in national and local economic conditions, including the condition of various market segments |
2) | Changes in the value of underlying collateral |
3) | Changes in volume of classified assets, measured as a percentage of capital |
4) | Changes in volume of delinquent loans |
5) | The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations |
6) | Changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards |
7) | Changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff |
8) | Changes in the level of policy exceptions |
62
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
It has been the Companys experience that the first four factors drive losses to a much greater extent than the last four factors; therefore, the first four factors are weighted more heavily. Although the markets served by the Company remain stronger than the national economy as a whole, management continues to pay close attention on a case-by-case basis for any yet unforeseen potential ripple effects of the housing downturn and the related financial market fallout.
Like the historical factors, qualitative factors are not assessed against loans rated excellent or rated good, since these are fully collateralized by cash or readily marketable securities.
For each segment and class of loans, management must exercise significant judgment to determine the estimation method that fits the credit risk characteristics of its various segments. Although this evaluation is inherently subjective, qualified management utilizes its significant knowledge and experience related to both the market and history of the Companys loan losses.
During these evaluations, particular characteristics associated with a segment of the loan portfolio are also considered. These characteristics are detailed below:
- Commercial loans not secured by real estate
carry risks associated with the successful operation of a business, and the
repayments of these loans depend on the profitability and cash flows of the
business. Additional risk relates to the value of collateral where
depreciation occurs and the valuation is less precise.
- Loans secured by commercial real estate also
carry risks associated with the success of the business and the ability to
generate a positive cash flow sufficient to service debts. Real estate
security diminishes risks only to the extent that a market exists for the
subject collateral.
- Consumer loans carry risks associated with
the continued creditworthiness 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. Consumer loans are
further segmented into consumer revolving lines and all other consumer
loans.
- 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.
- Residential real estate loans carry risks associated with the continued creditworthiness of the borrower and changes in the value of the collateral.
Impaired loans are individually evaluated and, if deemed appropriate, a specific allocation is made for these loans. In reviewing the seven loans in the amount of $1,736,000 classified as impaired loans at December 31, 2013, there was no valuation allowance on any of these loans after consideration was given for each borrowing as to the fair value of the collateral on the loan or the present value of expected future cash flows from the customer.

Note 9 Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company does not anticipate any material loss as a result of these transactions.
As a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Company is required to maintain certain average clearing balances. Those balances include amounts on deposit with the Federal Reserve. For the final weekly reporting period in the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the amounts of daily average required balances were $0 and $495,000, respectively.
At December 31, 2013, the Company had leased certain of its banking and operations offices under operating lease agreements on terms ranging from 1 to 20 years with renewal options. Rent expense charged to operations under operating lease agreements totaled $1,010,000 in 2013 and $1,035,000 in 2012.

Note 10 Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Credit 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. These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. In addition to the amounts shown below, the Company has extended commitment letters at December 31, 2013 in the amount of $12,364,000 to various borrowers. At December 31, 2012, commitment letters totaled $8,344,000. Commitment letters are done in the normal course of business and typically expire after 120 days. All of these off-balance-sheet instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit 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 Companys exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend 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.
The totals for financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk are shown below as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 customers creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on managements credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral normally consists of real property.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments 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 holds real estate and bank deposits as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.
The Company has approximately $1,557,000 in deposits in other financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the FDIC at December 31, 2013.
Note 11 Related Party Transactions
In 2013, the Company and its subsidiary had business dealings with companies owned by directors of the Company. Payments made to these companies in 2013 include rental expenditures of $443,000 (including reimbursements for taxes, insurance, and other expenses), paid to an entity owned by a director of the Company. For another property owned by an entity in which a different director has a beneficial interest, the Company had a ground lease. In February of 2012, the Company purchased this real estate for $1,200,000, and the approximate dollar value of the interest of the director individually and his immediate family members, without regard to the amount of profit or loss, was $200,000 and $400,000, respectively. Monthly rent for both properties was at a fair market rate as verified by an independent third-party appraisal.
Note 12 Capital Requirements
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, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Companys and the Banks consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
The Banks capital ratios remain above the levels designated by bank regulators as well capitalized at December 31, 2013. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank 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 institutions category.

Note 13 Dividend Restrictions
The primary source of funds for the dividends paid by the Company to shareholders is dividends received from the Bank. Federal regulations limit the amount of dividends which the Bank can pay to the Company without obtaining prior approval. The amount of cash dividends that the Bank may pay is limited to current year earnings plus retained net profits for the two preceding years. In addition, dividends paid by the Bank would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Banks capital to be reduced below applicable minimum capital requirements. Notwithstanding the regulatory limitations on cash dividends, the Banks Board of Directors approved a cash dividend payment policy that, once combined with any previous cash dividends paid within the last 12 months, the total of which will not exceed 50% of the Banks after-tax earnings, excluding any extraordinary items, for the preceding 12-months. If the previous 3 quarterly dividends are not within the preceding 12 months, then only the amounts of dividends paid in the previous 12 months, plus the proposed dividend, in total will not exceed 60% of the Banks after-tax earnings.
At December 31, 2013, the maximum amount of retained earnings available to the Bank for cash dividends to the Company was $5,815,000.

Note 14 Fair Value Measurements
Determination of Fair Value
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of FASB ASC 825, 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 Companys 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 fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
Fair Value Hierarchy
In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its 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 and liabilities. | |
Level 2 |
Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market. | |
Level 3 |
Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market |
The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:
Securities Available For Sale
Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2).

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the consolidated financial statements:
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned is measured at fair value less cost to sell, based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company. If the collateral value is significantly adjusted due to differences in the comparable properties, or is discounted by the Company because of marketability, then the fair value is considered Level 3. OREO is measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any initial fair value adjustment is charged against the Allowance for Loan Losses. Subsequent fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and included in other noninterest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
72
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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. 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 value is significantly adjusted due to differences in the comparable properties, or is discounted by the Company because of marketability, 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 financial statements if not considered significant. 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 in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company had $1,736,000 and $2,816,000 in impaired loans as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. None of these impaired loans required a valuation allowance after consideration was given for each borrowing as to the fair value of the collateral on the loan or the present value of expected future cash flows from the customer.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and Short-Term Investments
For those short-term instruments, including cash, due from banks and federal funds sold, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Interest bearing deposits
The carrying amounts of interest bearing deposits maturing within ninety days approximate their fair value.
Securities
Fair values for securities, excluding restricted securities, are based on third party vendor pricing models. The carrying value of restricted FRB and FHLB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of each entity and is therefore excluded from the following table.
Loan Receivables
The fair value of performing loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar remaining maturities. This calculation ignores loan fees and certain factors affecting the interest rates charged on various loans such as the borrowers creditworthiness and compensating balances and dissimilar types of real estate held as collateral. The fair value of impaired loans is measured as described within the Impaired Loans section of this note.
Bank Owned Life Insurance
The carrying amounts of Bank Owned Life Insurance approximate fair value.
Accrued Interest
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
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 by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Short-Term Borrowings
The carrying amounts of securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximate fair value.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
The fair values of loan commitments and standby letters of credit are immaterial. Therefore, they have not been included in the following table.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Companys financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change, and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk; however, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Companys overall interest rate risk.

Note 16 Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has a 401(k) plan available to all employees who are at least 18 years of age. Employees are able to elect the amount to contribute, not to exceed a maximum amount as determined by Internal Revenue Service regulation. In 2012, the Company matched 50% of every dollar contributed by employees up to a maximum of 6% of annual compensation. Effective January 1, 2013, the Bank matched 100% of the first 3% of employee contributions and 50% for the next 2% of employee contributions. Effective January 1, 2014, the company match will be 100% of the first 6% of employee contributions.
Vesting refers to the rights of ownership to the assets in the 401(k) accounts. Effective January 1, 2013, matching contributions were fully vested immediately. Through December 31, 2012, Company contributions to the plan were vested by the employees according to the following schedule: 50% after two years of service, 75% after three years of service and 100% after four years of service. Employee contributions to the plan have always been 100% vested.
The Company contributed $277,000 to the plan in 2013 and $216,000 in 2012.
Note 17 Stock Incentive Plans
The Virginia National Bank 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (1998 Plan), 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (2003 Plan), and 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (2005 Plan) provide for granting of both incentive and nonqualified stock options. The option price of incentive options will not be less than the fair market value of the stock at the time an option is granted. Nonqualified options may be granted at a price established by the Board of Directors, including prices less than the fair market value on the date of grant. Outstanding options generally expire in seven or ten years from the grant date. Stock options generally vest by the fourth or fifth anniversary of the date of the grant. No new grants can be issued under the 1998 Plan or the 2003 Plan as both plans have expired.

The fair value of any grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. There were no stock option grants issued for the year ended December 31, 2012. During the first quarter of 2013, there was a stock option grant of 5,000 shares. No other stock option grant has been issued during the year ended December 31, 2013. The fair value on the grant issued in 2013 was estimated based on the assumptions noted in the following table:
For the year ended | ||

Expected volatility1 | 60.10% - 60.15 | % |
Expected dividends2 | 0.00 | % |
Expected term (in years)3 | 4.0 | |
Risk-free rate4 | 0.67 | % |
1 | Based on the historical volatility of the Banks stock price over the expected life of the options. |
2 | At the time of the grant in the first quarter of 2013, no dividend rate was estimated based on the Bank's history of not paying a cash dividend. Subsequently, the Bank began paying a quarterly cash dividend in the second quarter of 2013. |
3 | Based on the vesting period for the respective option. |
4 | Based upon an interpolated U.S. Treasury yield curve interest rate that corresponds to the contractual life of the option, in effect at the time of the grant. |

A component of the Companys other comprehensive income, in addition to net income from operations, is the recognition of the unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities, net of income taxes. Reclassifications of unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities are reported in the income statement as Gain on sale of securities with the corresponding income tax effect reflected as a component of income tax expense.

Note 20 Segment Reporting
Virginia National Bankshares Corporation has two reportable segments, the Bank and VNBTrust.
Commercial banking involves making loans and generating deposits from individuals and businesses. Loan fee income, service charges from deposit accounts, and other non-interest-related fees such as automatic teller machine fees and safe deposit box fees generate additional income for the Bank.
VNBTrust services include investment management, trust account administration, and estate planning. VNBTrust receives fees on both a fixed basis and a performance basis for providing of these services.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies provided earlier in this report. Each reportable segment is a strategic business unit that offers different products and services. They are managed separately, because each segment appeals to different markets and, accordingly, requires different technology and marketing strategies.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. This assessment was based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 1992. On May 14, 2013, the COSO issued a revised version of the Framework which will supersede the original Framework at the end of 2014. The Company does not anticipate any change in internal control effectiveness during transition to the new framework during 2014.
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.
