PART I

ITEM 1.                                 BUSINESS

General

Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. (the Company) is a one-bank holding company formed on December 18, 2003 headquartered in Blackstone, Virginia.  The Company is the sole shareholder of its only subsidiary, Citizens Bank and Trust Company (the Bank).  The Bank conducts and transacts the general business of a commercial bank as authorized by the banking laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve System.  The Bank was incorporated in 1873 under the laws of Virginia.  Deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  In September 1995, the Bank became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.

The Company’s primary activity is retail and commercial banking through its sole subsidiary - the Bank.  Financial services include commercial and consumer demand and time deposit accounts, real estate, commercial and consumer loans, online internet banking, 24-hour ATM network, brokerage services, safe deposit boxes, wire transfer services and other miscellaneous services incidental to the operation of a commercial bank.  The Bank also acts as an agent for Visa.  The Bank is authorized to have a trust department, but does not offer trust services.  The Bank’s primary trade areas are served by its 11 banking offices located in the counties of Nottoway, Amelia, Prince Edward, Chesterfield, the City of Colonial Heights, and the Town of South Hill, Virginia.

The Company’s primary revenue comes from retail banking in the form of interest income received on loans and investments.  This income is partially offset by the Company’s interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds, resulting in net interest income.  The Company’s earnings also come from noninterest income in the form of deposit fees, gains on the sale of loans and investments, ATM fees, Bank-owned Life Insurance, and other financial services.  The Company’s combined noninterest income and net interest income are offset by the Company’s noninterest expense which includes employee compensation and benefits, occupancy, equipment and other operating expenses.

The Bank holds a 0.352% ownership in Infinex Investments, Inc., which delivers investment services to customers through the use of a dual-employee broker.  The Bank also holds an 8.75% ownership interest in Bankers Title, LLC, which is a provider of title insurance.  The Company has an ownership interest of 1.60% in CBB Financial Corp. whose sole subsidiary is Community Bankers’ Bank, a provider of correspondent banking services exclusively to financial institutions.  The financial position and operating results of these investments are not significant to the Company as a whole and are not considered principal activities of the Company.

The Company maintains an internet website at www.cbtva.com which contains information relating to the business.  The Company makes available free of charge through its website its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K as soon as possible after such forms have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Copies of the Company’s Audit Committee Charter, Nominating Committee Charter and Code of Conduct are available upon written request to: Corporate Secretary, Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc., 126 South Main Street, Blackstone, Virginia, 23824.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, the Company and the Bank employed 111 full-time equivalent employees.  The Company’s success is highly dependent on its ability to attract and retain qualified employees.  Competition in the industry is intense for employees; however, the Company believes it has been successful in recruiting qualified employees and believes relations with its employees are excellent.

Competition

The Bank competes for business with numerous other financial institutions including large national and regional banks, credit unions, other community banks, mutual funds, brokerage firms and insurance companies offering deposit products.  Some of these firms do not have a physical presence in our markets, but offer their products through local third party representatives or via the Internet.  Factors such as interest rates offered for loan and deposit products, the number and location of branches, and the reputation of the Bank affect the competition for deposits and loans.  The Bank’s marketing and business development efforts are concentrated on developing long-term customer relationships, and building customer loyalty by providing loan and deposit products and financial services that meet our customers’ needs.  The Bank targets individual retail and small-to-medium size commercial customers.

The Bank’s trade areas include the counties of Amelia, Brunswick, Buckingham, Charlotte, Chesterfield, Cumberland, Dinwiddie, Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, Nottoway, Prince Edward, the cities of Colonial Heights and Petersburg, and the Town of South Hill.  The following data reflects the Bank’s market share in its primary market places at June 30, 2009, according to information obtained from the FDIC website.  In Amelia County, the Bank held 28.27% of the market share, in Nottoway County, 58.84%, in Prince Edward County, 12.78%, in the City of Colonial Heights, 1.29%, in Mecklenburg County, 1.00% and in Chesterfield County, 0.07%.


Credit Policies and Loan Activities

The Bank offers a full range of short to medium term commercial and consumer loans. Commercial loans include both secured and unsecured loans for working capital (including inventory and receivables), business expansion (including acquisition of real estate and improvements) and purchase of equipment and machinery. Consumer loans may include secured and unsecured loans for financing automobiles, home improvements, education and personal investments.  The Bank provides a wide range of real estate-secured loans and mortgages for businesses and consumers.

Lending activities are subject to a variety of lending limits imposed by state law. While differing limits apply in certain circumstances based on the type of loan or the nature of the borrower (including the borrower’s relationship to the Bank), in general the Bank is subject to a loan-to-one borrower limit of an amount equal to 15% of its capital and surplus. The Bank voluntarily may choose to impose a policy limit on loans to a single borrower that is less than the legal lending limit.

The Bank obtains commercial and personal loans through direct solicitation of business owners and customers.  Completed commercial loan applications are reviewed by loan officers.  As part of the application process, information is obtained concerning the income, financial condition, employment and credit history of the applicant.  For commercial lending, information is also obtained concerning an entity’s cash flow after debt service.  Loan quality is analyzed based on the Bank’s experience and its credit underwriting guidelines which consider appraised value, market conditions, borrower strength, collateral value, and borrower’s ability to service the debt.

Commercial Loans.  The Bank makes commercial loans to qualified businesses in its market area.  Commercial lending consists primarily of commercial and industrial loans to finance accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment.  Commercial business loans generally have a higher degree of risk than residential mortgage loans, and this is usually reflected in having commensurately higher yields.  Commercial business loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from cash flow from its business and are secured by business assets, such as commercial real estate, accounts receivable, equipment and inventory.  As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself.

Further, the collateral for commercial business loans may depreciate over time and cannot be appraised with as much precision as residential real estate.  To manage these risks, underwriting guidelines are required to secure commercial loans with both the assets of the borrowing business and

 
2

 

other additional collateral and guarantees that may be available.  In addition, certain measures of the borrower are actively monitored, including advance rate, cash flow, collateral value and other appropriate credit factors.

Residential Mortgage Loans.  The Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio consists of residential first and second mortgage loans, residential construction loans and home equity lines of credit and term loans secured by first and second mortgages on the residences of borrowers for home improvements, education and other personal expenditures.  Loans are made with a variety of terms, including fixed and floating or variable rates and a variety of maturities.

Under current underwriting guidelines, residential mortgage loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his/her employment and other income and are secured by real estate whose value tends to be readily ascertainable.  These loans are made consistent with the Bank’s appraisal policies and real estate lending policies, which detail maximum loan-to-value ratios and maturities. Loans for owner-occupied property are generally made with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 85% for first liens.  Higher loan-to-value ratios are allowed based on the borrower’s unusually strong general liquidity, net worth and cash flow.  Combined loan-to-value ratios for home equity lines of credit generally do not exceed 90%.  The Bank will originate and sell most fixed-rate, first mortgage loans to secondary market correspondent lenders.  First mortgage loans are also originated for borrowers who meet the qualifications of the following lending programs: FHA, VA, USDA and the Virginia Housing and Development Authority.

Construction Loans. Construction lending entails significant additional risks, compared to residential mortgage lending.  Construction loans often involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers.  Construction loans also involve additional risks attributable to the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the security of property under construction, which is of uncertain value prior to the completion of construction. Maturities for construction loans generally range from 4 to 12 months for residential property and from 6 to 18 months for non-residential and multi-family properties.  Thus, it is more difficult to evaluate accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project and related loan-to-value ratios.  To minimize the risks associated with construction lending, underwriting guidelines limit loan-to-value ratios for residential property to 85% and for non-residential property and multi-family properties to 80%, in addition to its usual credit analysis of its borrowers.  Loan-to-value ratios described above are sufficient to compensate for fluctuations in the real estate market in order to minimize the risk of loss.

Consumer Loans.  The Bank’s consumer loans consist primarily of installment loans to individuals for personal, family and household purposes.  The specific types of consumer loans that the Bank makes include home improvement loans, debt consolidation loans and general consumer lending.  Consumer loans entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans do, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured, such as lines of credit, or secured by rapidly depreciable assets such as automobiles.  In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation.  The remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower.  In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.  Such loans may also give rise to claims and defenses by a consumer loan borrower against an assignee of such loan such as the bank, and a borrower may be able to assert against such assignee claims and defenses that it has against the seller of the underlying collateral.

The Bank’s underwriting policy for consumer loans is to accept moderate risk while minimizing losses, primarily through a careful analysis of the borrower.  In evaluating consumer loans, lending officers are required to review the borrower’s level and stability of income, past credit history and the impact of these factors on the ability of the borrower to repay the loan in a timely manner.  In addition, an appropriate margin between the loan amount and collateral value is maintained.

Supervision and Regulation of Banking Activities

General

The supervision and regulation of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries is intended primarily for the protection of depositors, the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund and the banking system as a whole, and not necessarily for the protection of shareholders or creditors of bank holding companies. Bank regulatory agencies have broad enforcement power over bank holding companies and banks, including the power to impose substantial fines, operational restrictions and other penalties for violations of laws and regulations. Management believes the Company is in compliance in all material respects with these laws and regulations. Changes in the laws, regulations or policies that impact the Company cannot necessarily be predicted, but they may have a material effect on the business and earnings of the Company.

The following summary briefly describes the more significant provisions of applicable federal and state laws and certain regulations and the potential impact of such provisions on the Company and the Bank. This summary is not complete, and we refer you to the particular statutory or regulatory provisions or proposals for more information.

Regulations affecting the Company

Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as a bank holding company, the Company is subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"), and is required to file annual reports and such additional information as may be required by the Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB") pursuant to the BHC Act. The FRB has the authority to examine the Company and the Bank.  The BHC Act and other federal laws, of which some are discussed below, subject bank holding companies to restrictions on the types of activities in which they may engage, and to a range of supervisory requirements and activities, including regulatory enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations.

Federal Government Programs.  The Company has not participated in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Plan (CPP) that is part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA), enacted October 3, 2008.  If an institution is approved to participate in the CPP, the Treasury acquires preferred stock and stock warrants in the institution in exchange for the capital infusion.  The board of directors and management carefully considered all programs that have resulted from the ESSA and the guarantee programs sponsored by the FDIC.

The Bank is a participant in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program, which provides full coverage for non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts at FDIC-insured institutions and it has been extended an additional six months through June 30, 2010.

With continuing legislative and governmental efforts in Washington, DC to address the current economic crisis, we cannot forecast how federal regulation of financial institutions may change in the future and what its resulting impact will be on the Company and the Bank.

Regulatory Restrictions on Dividends.  It is the policy of the Federal Reserve Board that bank holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past year, and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the holding company's expected future needs and financial condition. The policy provides that bank holding companies should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines the bank holding company's ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiary. Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to its banking subsidiary and commit resources to its support.

The Company does not expect that these laws, regulations or policies will materially affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends. Payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.  The Company’s dividend policy limits payments to 60% or less of the trailing 12-month net

 
4

 

consolidated earnings. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company declared $1,616,509 in dividends payable to shareholders or 57.1% of trailing earnings.

Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company must file annual, quarterly and other periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).  The Company is affected by the corporate responsibility and accounting reform legislation signed into law on July 30, 2002, known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the SOA), and the related rules and regulations. The SOA includes provisions that, among other things: (1) require that periodic reports containing financial statements that are filed with the SEC be accompanied by chief executive officer and chief financial officer certifications as to their accuracy and compliance with law; (2) prohibit public companies, with certain limited exceptions, from making personal loans to their directors or executive officers; (3) require chief executive officers and chief financial officers to forfeit bonuses and profits if company financial statements are restated due to misconduct; (4) require audit committees to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by an issuer’s outside auditors, except for de minimis non-audit services; (5) protect employees of public companies who assist in investigations relating to violations of the federal securities laws from job discrimination, otherwise known as “whistleblower” policy and provisions; (6) require companies to disclose in plain English on a “rapid and current basis” material changes in their financial condition or operations, as well as certain other specified information; (7) require a public company’s Section 16 insiders to make Form 4 filings with the SEC within two business days following the day on which purchases or sales of the company’s equity securities were made; and (8) increased penalties for existing crimes and created new criminal offenses.  The Company has incurred additional expenses and we expect to continue to incur additional expenses in complying with the requirements of the SOA and related regulations adopted by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.  We anticipate that those expenses will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
The Company will not be required to comply with the Section 404(b) reporting requirements for auditor attestation for the year ending December 31, 2009. The Securities and Exchange Commission approved an extension of the Section 404(b) requirement for non-accelerated filers that would require an independent auditor attestation of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting beginning with the year ending December 31, 2010.


Safe and Sound Banking Practices.  Bank holding companies are not permitted to engage in unsafe and unsound banking practices. The Federal Reserve Board's regulations, for example, generally require a holding company to give the Federal Reserve Board prior notice of any redemption or repurchase of its own equity securities, if the consideration to be paid, together with the consideration paid for any repurchases or redemptions in the preceding year, is equal to 10% or more of the company's consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve Board has broad authority to prohibit activities of bank holding companies and their non-banking subsidiaries which represent unsafe and unsound banking practices or which constitute violations of laws or regulations, and can assess civil money penalties for certain activities conducted on a knowing and reckless basis, if those activities caused a substantial loss to a depository institution.

The Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock repurchase program for the common stock of the Company on July 18, 2007.  Further information on this program is found in Part 2, Item 5 of this report.

Capital Adequacy Requirements.  The Federal Reserve Board has adopted a system using risk-based capital guidelines to evaluate the capital adequacy of bank holding companies. Under the guidelines, specific categories of assets are assigned different risk weights, based generally on the perceived credit risk of the asset. These risk weights are multiplied by corresponding asset balances to determine a "risk-weighted" asset base. In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal Reserve Board uses a leverage ratio as an additional tool to evaluate the capital adequacy of bank holding companies. Federal Reserve Board 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

 
5

 

Federal regulatory agencies may take various corrective actions against any undercapitalized bank holding company or bank, and any bank that fails to submit a capital restoration plan or fails to implement a plan accepted by the regulators.  These powers include, but are not limited to, requiring the institution to be recapitalized, prohibiting asset growth, restricting interest rates paid, requiring prior approval of capital distributions by any bank holding company that controls the institution, requiring divestiture by the institution of its subsidiaries or by the holding company of the institution itself, requiring new election of directors, and requiring the dismissal of directors and officers. The Company and the Bank presently maintain sufficient capital to remain in compliance with these capital requirements.  See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated as part of this report.

Acquisitions by Bank Holding Companies.  The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank, if after such acquisition it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. In approving bank acquisitions by bank holding companies, the Federal Reserve Board is required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding company and the banks concerned, the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, and various competitive factors.

Control Acquisitions.  The Change in Bank Control Act prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring "control" of a bank holding company unless the Federal Reserve Board has been notified and has not objected to the transaction. Under a rebuttable presumption established by the Federal Reserve Board, the acquisition of 10% or more of a class of voting stock of a bank holding company with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, would, under the circumstances set forth in the presumption, constitute acquisition of control of the Company. In addition, under the Bank Holding Company Act, any entity is required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board before acquiring 25% (5% in the case of an acquirer that is a bank holding company) or more of the Company's outstanding common stock, or otherwise obtaining control or a "controlling influence" over the Company.


Regulations affecting the Bank

Citizens Bank and Trust Company is incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as a state-chartered commercial bank.  The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. and has been in continuous operation since August 23, 1873.

Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders.  Transactions between the Company and the Bank are subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. In general, Section 23A imposes limits on the amount of such transactions, and also requires certain levels of collateral for loans to affiliated parties. It also limits the amount of advances to third parties which are collateralized by the securities or obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries. Affiliate transactions are also subject to Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act which generally requires that certain transactions between the holding company and its affiliates be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the bank, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with or involving other nonaffiliated persons.

Insider Loans.  Restrictions on loans to directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and their related interests ("insiders") contained in the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O applies to the Bank and the Company. These restrictions include limits on loans to one borrower and conditions that must be met before such a loan can be made. There is also an aggregate limitation on all loans to insiders and their related interests. These loans cannot exceed the institution's total unimpaired capital and surplus, and the FDIC may determine that a lesser amount is appropriate. Insiders are subject to enforcement actions for knowingly accepting loans in violation of applicable restrictions.

Restrictions on Distribution of Subsidiary Bank Dividends and Assets.  Dividends paid by the Bank have been the Company's primary source of funds utilized to pay shareholder cash dividends and are expected to be for the foreseeable future.  Capital adequacy requirements serve to limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank.  Under Federal law, the Bank cannot pay a dividend if, after

 
6

 

paying the dividend, it will be "undercapitalized."  The FDIC may declare a dividend payment to be unsafe and unsound even though the Bank would continue to meet its capital requirements after the dividend. Because the Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank, the Company's right to participate in the distribution of assets of the Bank in the event of the Bank's liquidation or reorganization would be subject to the prior claims of the Bank's creditors.  In the event of a liquidation or other resolution of an insured depository institution, the claims of depositors and other general or subordinated creditors are entitled to a priority of payment over the claims of holders of any obligation of the institution to its shareholders, including any depository bank holding company (such as the Company) or any shareholder or creditor thereof.

The FDIC Reform Act of 2006.  The FDIC Reform Act (Act) was signed into law in 2006.  The Act modernizes and strengthens the federal deposit insurance system to make it more responsive to consumer needs and fairer to banks.  It preserves the value of FDIC insurance by setting up a permanent system of inflation adjustments, authorizing the FDIC to increase coverage levels for inflation every five years and providing higher coverage for retirement accounts. It also smoothes out premium volatility in the old law by creating a range in which the fund reserve ratio can float; provides premium credits to banks (including the Bank) that built up the fund prior to 1997; and institutes a risk-based premium system.  The new system sets a designated reserve ratio of 1.25%, and because the ratio was below this level in 2006, the FDIC assessed premiums in 2007.  Since 2008, the Deposit Insurance Fund has suffered significant losses due to a higher number of bank failures.  The FDIC imposed a special deposit insurance premium assessment on insured institutions payable on September 30, 2009.  The Deposit Insurance Fund was nearly depleted prior to the imposition of this special fee and the FDIC did indicate the possibility of future “special assessments” if the high rate of bank failures persists.  The Bank was assessed $137.5 thousand.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC.  The EESA temporarily raised the basic limit on federal deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor. The original legislation provided that the basic deposit insurance limit will return to $100,000 after December 31, 2009, however, on September 9, 2009, the FDIC Board of Directors approved a rule to extend the deposit insurance coverage increase through December 31, 2013.

On October 13, 2008, the FDIC adopted the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP) because of disruptions in the credit market.  The goal of the TLGP is to decrease the cost of bank funding so that bank lending to consumers and businesses will normalize. The TLGP is industry funded and does not rely on the DIF to achieve its goals.  The final rule implementing the TLGP was approved by the FDIC Board of Directors on November 21, 2008.  The TLGP consists of two components: a temporary guarantee of newly-issued senior unsecured debt (Debt Guarantee Program) and a temporary unlimited guarantee of funds in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts at FDIC-insured institutions (Transaction Account Guarantee Program).  The Bank is participating in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program until this program ends June 30, 2010.

During 2009, the Bank exhausted the remaining premium credits of $35,612 it had received under the FDIC Reform Act of 2006.  As a result of the credits being exhausted and the imposition of higher insurance premium rates, the Bank is expecting to pay significantly higher FDIC insurance cost in the foreseeable future than premiums paid prior to 2008, the amounts and timing of which are uncertain.  On November 12, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule amending the deposit insurance assessment regulations that required insured depository institutions to prepay their quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012, on December 30, 2009, along with each institution's risk-based assessment for the third quarter of 2009.  The Bank’s prepaid assessment totaled $1.408 million.

The FDIC is authorized to prohibit any DIF-insured institution from engaging in any activity that the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious threat to the deposit insurance fund.  Also, the FDIC may initiate enforcement actions against banks, after first giving the institution’s primary regulatory authority an opportunity to take such action.  The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any depository institution if it determines, after a hearing, that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed in writing by the FDIC.  It also may suspend

deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital.  If deposit insurance is terminated, the deposits at the institution at the time of termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a period from six months to two years, as determined by the FDIC. The Company is not aware of any existing circumstances that could result in termination of any of the Bank’s deposit insurance.

Examinations and Audits.  The Federal Reserve Board and the Virginia State Corporation Commission’s Bureau of Financial Institutions periodically examine and evaluate the Bank. Based upon such examinations, the appropriate regulator may revalue the assets of the institution and require that it establish specific reserves to compensate for the difference between what the regulator determines the value to be and the carrying value of such assets.

Capital Adequacy Requirements.  Refer to “Capital Adequacy Requirements” under “The Company”, above.

Community Reinvestment Act.  Under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations, depository institutions have an affirmative obligation to assist in meeting the credit needs of their market areas, including low and moderate-income areas, consistent with safe and sound banking practice.  The Community Reinvestment Act requires the adoption by each institution of a Community Reinvestment Act statement for each of its market areas describing the depository institution’s efforts to assist in its community’s credit needs.  Depository institutions are periodically examined for compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act and are periodically assigned ratings in this regard.  Banking regulators consider a depository institution’s Community Reinvestment Act rating when reviewing applications to establish new branches, undertake new lines of business, and/or acquire part or all of another depository institution.  An unsatisfactory rating can significantly delay or even prohibit regulatory approval of a proposed transaction by a bank holding company or its depository institution subsidiaries.


Other Laws and Regulations

Federal and state laws and regulations may significantly impact our operations. We operate in a highly regulated environment. Changes in federal, state and local laws and regulations affecting banking, consumer credit, bankruptcy, privacy, consumer protection or other matters could materially impact our performance. For example, anti-money laundering requirements under the Patriot Act are frequently revisited by the U.S. Congress and Executive Agencies and continue to be a key regulator focus.  There has also been an increased focus on compliance with economic sanctions following the publication in September 2008 of Economic Enforcement Guidelines by the Office of Foreign Assets Control which were promulgated as a final rule in November 2009.  Ensuring compliance with increasing regulatory requirements and initiatives could affect operational costs and negatively impact our overall results. The most significant of these regulations are discussed below.

The Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act. Also known as the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), and its implementing regulation, 31 CFR 103, is a tool the U.S. government uses to fight drug trafficking, money laundering, and other crimes. Congress enacted the BSA to prevent banks and other financial service providers from being used as intermediaries for, or to hide the transfer or deposit of money derived from, criminal activity. The Federal Reserve Board monitors state member banks’ compliance with the BSA and 31 CFR 103.

Since its passage, Congress has amended the BSA a number of times to enhance law enforcement effectiveness.  The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, which included the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 (MLCA), strengthened the government's ability to fight money laundering by making it a criminal activity.  The Money Laundering Suppression Act of 1994 (Title IV of the Riegle-Neal Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994) required regulators to develop enhanced examination procedures and increase examiner training to improve the identification of money laundering schemes in financial institutions.

Today more than 170 crimes are listed in the federal money laundering statutes.  They range from drug trafficking, gunrunning, murder for hire, fraud, acts of terrorism, and the illegal use of a wetland.  The list also includes certain foreign crimes.  A financial institution must educate its employees, understand its customers and their businesses, and have systems and procedures in place to distinguish routine transactions from ones that rise to the level of suspicious activity.  The reporting and record keeping requirements of the BSA regulations create a paper trail for law enforcement to investigate money laundering schemes and other illegal activities.  This paper trail operates to deter illegal activity and provides a means to trace movements of money through the financial system.

USA PATRIOT Act of 2001. This regulation was enacted in response to the terrorist attacks, which occurred on September 11, 2001.  The USA PATRIOT Act is intended to strengthen U.S. law enforcement's and the intelligence communities' abilities to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts.  The impact of the PATRIOT Act on financial institutions of all kinds is significant and wide ranging.  The PATRIOT Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and requires various regulations, including standards for verifying customer identification at account opening, and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators, and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering.

Financial Services Modernization Legislation.  In November 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act of 1999 was enacted. The GLB Act repealed provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act which restricted the affiliation of Federal Reserve member banks with firms "engaged principally" in specified securities activities, and which restricted officer, director, or employee interlocks between a member bank and any company or person primarily engaged in specified securities activities.  In addition, the GLB Act contained provisions that expressly preempt any state law restricting the establishment of financial affiliations, primarily related to insurance. The general effect of the law was to establish a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies, securities firms, and other financial service providers by revising and expanding the Bank Holding Company Act framework to permit a holding company to engage in a full range of financial activities through a new entity known as a financial holding company.
 
The GLB Act contains extensive customer privacy protection provisions.  Under these provisions, a financial institution must provide to its customers, both at the inception of the customer relationship and on an annual basis, the institution’s policies and procedures regarding the handling of customers’ nonpublic personal financial information.  The law provides that, except for specific limited exceptions, an institution may not provide such personal information to unaffiliated third parties unless the institution discloses to the customer that such information may be so provided and the customer is given the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure.  An institution may not disclose to a non-affiliated third party, other than to a consumer reporting agency, customer account numbers or other similar account identifiers for marketing purposes.  The GLB Act also provides that the states may adopt customer privacy protections that are stricter than those contained in the Act.
 
Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ("FACT Act"). The FACT Act includes many provisions concerning national credit reporting standards, and permits consumers, including the customers of the Company, to opt out of information sharing among affiliated companies for marketing purposes. The FACT Act also requires financial institutions, including banks, to notify their customers if they report negative information about them to credit bureaus or if the credit that is granted to them is on less favorable terms than generally available. Banks also must comply with guidelines established by their federal banking regulators to help detect identity theft.

Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act ("Check 21 Act").  This Act became effective in October 2004. The Check 21 Act creates a new negotiable instrument, called a "substitute check," which banks are required to accept as the legal equivalent of a paper check if it meets the requirements of the Check 21 Act.  The Check 21 Act is designed to facilitate check truncation, to foster innovation in the check payment systems and to improve the payment system by shortening processing times and reducing the volume of paper.

Consumer Laws and Regulations.  In addition to the laws and regulations discussed herein, the Bank is also subject to certain consumer laws and regulations that are designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, 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, the Fair Housing Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, Federal Financial Privacy Laws, Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards, and the Right to Financial Privacy Act. These laws and regulations regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits or making loans to such customers.

Future Regulatory Uncertainty

Federal regulation of financial institutions changes regularly and is the subject of constant legislative debate the Company cannot forecast how Federal regulation of financial institutions may change in the future and the potential impact to its operations.  As a result of the global economic recession, Congress and the Administration have enacted and are considering enacting laws that incorporate significant regulatory changes upon the financial services industry.  The Company fully expects that the financial institution industry will remain heavily regulated in the foreseeable future and those additional laws or regulations may be adopted further regulating specific banking practices.

Availability of Information

The Company electronically files quarterly (Form 10-Q) and annual (Form 10-K) reports and proxy statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on a regular basis.  Other reports are filed when necessary in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The public may read and print any materials the Company files with the SEC at the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov.  In addition, any document filed by the Company with the SEC can be read and copied at the SEC’s public reference facilities at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies of documents can be obtained at prescribed rates by writing to the Public Reference Section of the SEC at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.  The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

ITEM 1A.                     RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves risks and you should not invest in our common stock unless you understand these risk factors and how it could impact the value of your investment.  These risk factors may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and future earnings.  You should read this section together with the other information, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
 
Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses.  A significant source of risk for the Company arises from the possibility that losses will be sustained because borrowers, guarantors and related parties may fail to perform in accordance with the terms of their loan agreements.  Most loans originated by the Bank are secured, but some loans are unsecured depending on the nature of the loan.  With respect to secured loans, the collateral securing the repayment of these loans includes a wide variety of real and personal property that may be insufficient to cover the obligations owed under such loans.  Collateral values may be adversely affected by changes in prevailing economic, environmental and other conditions, including declines in the value of real estate, changes in interest rates, changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal government, wide-spread disease, terrorist activity, environmental contamination and other external events.  In addition, collateral appraisals that are out of date or that do not meet industry recognized standards may create the impression that a loan is adequately collateralized when in fact it is not. The Company has underwriting and credit monitoring procedures and policies, including the establishment and review of the allowance for loan losses and regular review of appraisals and borrower financial statements. Management has established policies to mitigate the risk of loss by assessing the likelihood of nonperformance and the value of available collateral, monitoring loan performance and diversifying the Company's credit portfolio. Such policies and procedures, however, may not prevent unexpected losses that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
 
The allowance for loan losses is determined by analyzing historical loan losses, current trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, plans for problem loan resolution, the opinions of our regulators, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio and industry information.  Also included in our estimates for loan losses are considerations with respect to the impact of economic events, the outcome of which are uncertain.  Because any estimate of loan losses is necessarily subjective and the accuracy of any estimate depends on the outcome of future events, we face the risk that charge-offs in future periods will exceed our allowance for loan losses and that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will be required.  Additions to the allowance for loan losses would result in a decrease of our net income. Although we believe our allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in our loan portfolio, we cannot predict such losses or that our allowance will be adequate in the future.  For a complete discussion on asset quality and the allowance for loan losses, see Part II, Item 7, “Critical Accounting Policies – Allowance for Loan Losses” and "Asset Quality" later in this Report.
 
 
Interest Rate Risk.  The Company's earnings depend largely on the relationship between the yield on earning assets, primarily loans and investments, and the cost of funds, primarily deposits and borrowings. This relationship, known as the interest rate spread, is subject to fluctuation and is affected by economic and competitive factors which influence interest rates, the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets.  The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities reprice or mature more slowly or more rapidly or on a different basis than its interest-earning assets.  Community banks are often at a competitive disadvantage in managing their cost of funds compared to the large regional, super-regional or national banks that have access to the national and international capital markets.  These factors influence our ability to maintain a stable net interest margin.  We seek to maintain a neutral position in terms of the volume of assets and liabilities that mature or re-price during any period so that we may reasonably predict our net interest margin; however, interest rate fluctuations, loan prepayments, loan production and deposit flows are constantly changing and influence our ability to maintain this neutral position and affect the demand of customers for the Company's products and services.  Significant fluctuations in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

For additional information regarding interest rate risk, see Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."
 
 
Liquidity Risk.  Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will have insufficient cash or access to cash to satisfy current and future financial obligations, including demands for loans and deposit withdrawals, funding operating costs, and for other corporate purposes. Liquidity risk arises whenever the maturities of financial instruments included in assets and liabilities differ.  The Company is subject to liquidity risk, which it mitigates by establishing and accessing lines of credit with various financial institutions and accessing the brokered CD markets. Results of operations could be affected if the Company were unable to satisfy current or future financial obligations. See Part II, Item 7, "Liquidity" found later in this Report.
 
 
Breach of Information Security and Technology Dependence.  The Company depends upon data processing, software, communication, and information exchange on a variety of computing platforms and networks, including the Internet.  Despite instituted safeguards, the Company cannot be certain that all of its systems are entirely free from vulnerability to attack or other technological difficulties or failures.  The Company relies on the services of a variety of vendors to meet its data processing and communication needs.  If information security is breached or other technology difficulties or failures occur, information may be lost or misappropriated, services and operations may be interrupted, and the Company could be exposed to claims from customers.  Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
 
 
Economic Conditions, Limited Geographic Diversification. The Company's operations are principally located in the counties of Amelia, Nottoway, Prince Edward, Chesterfield, the City of Colonial Heights, the Town of South Hill and adjoining counties.  Given the geographic concentration of its operations, the Company's results depend largely upon the general economic conditions in this market.  Changes in the suburban and rural markets we serve may influence the growth rate of our loans and deposits, the quality of the loan portfolio and the loan and deposit pricing that we may obtain.  Significant decline in general economic conditions caused by inflation, recession, unemployment or other factors beyond our control would impact these local economic conditions and the demand for banking products and services generally, which could negatively affect our financial condition and performance.
 
          A continuation of the recent economic turbulence could impact the Company’s performance, both directly by affecting our revenues and the value of our assets and liabilities, and indirectly by affecting our counterparties and the economy generally.  Dramatic declines in the housing market in the past year have resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions.  The Company has recognized a higher loan loss provision during 2009 as the level of nonperforming and delinquent loans increased throughout the period.  Concerns about the stability of the financial markets generally have reduced the availability of funding to certain financial institutions, leading to a tightening of credit, reduction of business activity and increased market volatility.  The extreme levels of volatility and limited credit availability currently being experienced could continue to affect the U.S. banking industry and the broader U.S. and global economies, which would have an effect on all financial institutions, including the Company.  
 

 
Ability to Compete Effectively.  The Company and the Bank face vigorous competition from other banks and other financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, savings banks, finance companies and credit unions for deposits, loans, and other financial services in our market area.  Many of these banks and other financial institutions are significantly larger than we are and have greater access to capital and other resources, as well as larger lending limits and branch systems, and offer a wider array of banking services.  To a limited extent, we also compete with other providers of financial services, such as money market mutual funds, brokerage firms, consumer finance companies, insurance companies and governmental organizations which may offer more favorable financing than we are able to offer.  Many of our non-bank competitors have advantages over us in providing certain services.  This competition may reduce or limit our margins and our market share and may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 
12

 

Government Regulation and Monetary Policy.  The Company and the banking industry are subject to extensive regulation and supervision under federal and state laws and regulations.  The restrictions imposed by such laws and regulations limit the manner in which the Company conducts its business, undertakes new investments and activities, and obtains financing.  These regulations are designed primarily for the protection of the deposit insurance funds and consumers and not to benefit the Company's shareholders.  The burden imposed by these federal and state regulations may place banks in general, and specifically Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. and Citizens Bank & Trust Company, at a competitive disadvantage compared to less regulated competitors.  Financial institution regulation has been the subject of significant legislation in recent years and may be the subject of further significant legislation in the future.  Significant new laws or changes in, or repeals of, existing laws could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. Further, Federal monetary policy, particularly as implemented through the Federal Reserve System, significantly affects credit conditions for the Company and any unfavorable change in these conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.


Compliance with Bank Secrecy Act and Related Laws and Regulations.  These specific laws and regulations have significant implications for all financial institutions including any entity involved in the transfer of money.  The regulations increase due diligence requirements and reporting obligations for financial institutions, create new crimes and penalties, and require the Federal banking agencies, in reviewing merger and other acquisition transactions, to consider the effectiveness of the parties to such transactions in combating money laundering activities.  Even innocent noncompliance and inconsequential failure to follow the regulations may result in significant fines or other penalties, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.


Reliance on strong management team.  The Company and the Bank represent a customer-focused, relationship-driven, and community-oriented financial services organization.  The Company expects our future growth to be driven in a large part by the relationships maintained with our customers by Joseph D. Borgerding, President and Chief Executive Officer, the rest of our executive management team, and our lending officers.  Neither the Company nor the Bank has employment agreements with Mr. Borgerding, executive management or our lending officers.  The unexpected loss of Mr. Borgerding or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business and possibly result in reduced revenues and earnings.  The Bank has invested in bank-owned life insurance that covers Mr. Borgerding and certain other members of executive management and the lending officers.

Our business strategy will require us to continue to attract, hire, motivate and retain skilled personnel to develop new customer relationships as well as new financial products and services.  Many experienced banking professionals employed by our competitors are covered by agreements not to compete or solicit their existing customers if they were to leave their current employment.  These agreements make the recruitment of these professionals more difficult.  Meanwhile, the market for these people is competitive, and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting or hiring skilled personnel or be successful in retaining existing personnel.


Dependency on third party vendors.    The Bank outsources many of its operating and banking functions, including key computer systems software, network transmission services and the interchange and transmission services for the ATM network.  As such, the Company’s and the Bank’s success and the ability to expand our operations depend on the services provided by these third parties.  Disputes with these third parties can adversely affect the Bank’s operations.  The Bank may not be able to engage appropriate vendors, in a timely manner, to replace any vendors that are unable to perform with new vendors capable of servicing our needs.

ITEM 5.
MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Common Stock Performance and Dividends

The Company’s common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, nor is it actively traded; only 4.55% of the average number of outstanding shares traded during 2009.  Due to the extremely limited number of transactions, the average sale price of the Company’s common stock may not be indicative of its actual value.

Shares of the Company’s common stock trade through the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the stock symbol “CZBT.”  The OTC BULLETIN BOARD® (OTCBB) is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices, and volume information in over-the-counter (OTC) equity securities.  The OTCBB is a quotation medium for subscribing members, not an issuer listing service, and should not be confused with the NASDAQ Stock MarketSM.  Investors must contact a broker/dealer to trade OTCBB securities.  Investors do not have direct access to the OTCBB service.  The Securities and Exchange Commission’s order-handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to OTCBB securities.

As of March 16, 2010, the Company had approximately 798 shareholders of record.  As of that date, the closing price of the common stock was $13.00.  The chart below illustrates the high and low bid prices of common stock as reported on the OTCBB and the dividends declared during the last two years.

Dividend Policy

The Company historically has paid cash dividends on a quarterly basis.  The final determination of the timing, amount and payment of dividends on the Common Stock is at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend upon the earnings of the Company and the Bank, the financial condition of the Company and other factors, including general economic conditions and applicable governmental regulations and policies as discussed in Item 1., “Business – Supervision and Regulation,” above.

The Company is organized under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, which prohibits the payment of a dividend if, after giving it effect, the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or if the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of any preferred shareholders.

The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiary.  Its ability to distribute cash dividends will depend primarily on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to it, and the Bank is subject to laws and regulations that limit the amount of dividends that it can pay.  As a state member bank, the Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the reserve and capital requirements of federal and Virginia banking statutes and regulations.  Under Virginia law, a bank may not declare a dividend in excess of its undivided profits.  Additionally, the Bank may not declare a dividend if the total amount of all

 
15

 

dividends, including the proposed dividend, declared by it in any calendar year exceeds the total of its retained net income of that year to date, combined with its retained net income of the two preceding years, unless the dividend is approved by the Federal Reserve.

The Federal Reserve and the Commonwealth of Virginia have the general authority to limit the dividends paid by insured banks if the payment is deemed an unsafe and unsound practice.  The Commonwealth of Virginia and the Federal Reserve have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a bank’s capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsound and unsafe banking practice. Under the Federal Reserve’s regulations, the Bank may not declare or pay any dividend in excess of its net income for the current year plus any retained net income from the prior two calendar years.  The Bank may also not declare or pay a dividend without the approval of its Board of Directors and two-thirds of its shareholders if the dividend would exceed its undivided profits, as reported to the Federal Reserve.

In addition, the Company is subject to certain regulatory capital requirements to maintain capital at or above regulatory minimums.  These regulatory capital requirements affect its dividend policies.

Stock Repurchases

The Board of Directors of the Company approved the establishment of the current Stock Repurchase Plan July 18, 2007.  The Stock Repurchase Plan is structured under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 10b5-1.  The Plan went into effect on September 1, 2007, and is renewable quarterly, at the recommendation of management and approval by the Board of Directors.  The Company has an agreement with Scott & Stringfellow, Inc. to act as the Company’s agent in facilitating the repurchase of the Company’s common stock.  The Plan calls for the repurchase of up to 20,000 shares of stock for each three month term.  The Board of Directors reviews the results of the Plan, monthly.  The Plan has been continuously reapproved since its inception.

The table below represents the record of when shares of common stock were repurchased during the most recent fiscal quarter.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
 
 
General

Management’s discussion and analysis is intended to assist the reader in evaluating and understanding the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  The following discussion provides information about the major components of the results of operations and financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of the Company.


Forward Looking Statements

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

These forward looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties because they are based upon or are affected by factors including:

·  
level of market interest rates;
·  
changes in general economic and business conditions in our market area;
·  
the successful management of interest rate risk; including changes in interest rates and interest rate policies;
·  
risks inherent in making loans such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values;
·  
the value of securities held in the Company’s investment portfolio;
·  
the ability to successfully manage growth or to implement growth strategies if the Company is unable to identify attractive markets, locations or opportunities to expand in the future;
·  
reliance on an experienced management team, including ability to attract and retain key personnel;
·

Critical Accounting Policies
 

The financial condition and results of operations presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statementsand management's discussion and analysis are, to a large degree, dependent upon the accounting policies of the Company.  The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.

Presented below is a discussion of those accounting policies that management believes are the most important to the portrayal and understanding of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. These Critical Accounting Policies require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain.  In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending  upon the severity of such changes,  the  possibility of materially different financial  condition or results of  operations is a reasonable likelihood.  Also, see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of significant accounting policies.

      Allowance for Loan Losses

      The Company monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Company maintains policies and procedures that address the systems of controls over the following areas of maintenance of the allowance: the systematic methodology used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance to provide assurance they are maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; the accounting policies for loan charge-offs and recoveries; the assessment and measurement of impairment in the loan portfolio; and the loan grading system.

The Company evaluates various loans individually for impairment as required by current authoritative accounting pronouncements.  Loans evaluated individually for impairment include non-performing loans, such as loans on non-accrual, adversely classified loans, loans past due by 90 days or more, restructured loans and other loans selected by management.  The evaluations are based upon discounted expected cash flows or collateral valuation concerns. If the evaluation shows that a loan is individually impaired, then a specific reserve is established for the amount of impairment. If a loan evaluated individually is not impaired, then the loan is assessed for impairment with a group of loans that have similar characteristics.

For loans without individual measures of impairment, the Company makes estimates of losses for groups of loans as required by current authoritative accounting pronouncements. Loans are grouped by similar characteristics, including the type of loan, the assigned loan grade and the general collateral type.  A loss rate reflecting the expected loss inherent in a group of loans is derived from historical loss data experienced by the Bank for a given loan type, the predominant collateral type for the group and the terms of the loan.  The resulting estimate of losses for groups of loans, net of classified loans, are further adjusted for relevant environmental factors and other conditions of the loan portfolio, including: borrower and industry concentrations; levels and trends in delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries; changes in underwriting standards and risk selection; level of experience, ability and depth of lending management; and national and local economic conditions.

The amount of estimated impairment for individually evaluated loans and groups of loans is added together for a total estimate of potential loan losses.  This estimate of losses is compared to the allowance for loan losses of the Bank as of the evaluation date and, if the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be made. If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the estimate is evaluated to determine whether the allowance falls outside a range of estimates. If the estimate of losses is below the range of reasonable estimates, the allowance would be reduced by way of a credit to the provision for loan losses.

Although the recent economic recession created a very difficult environment for financial institutions, as well as other businesses, the U.S. government, Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department initiated many programs to try to stimulate the economy.  Nevertheless, many financial

institutions, including us, have experienced an increase in non-performing assets during the recent economic period, as even well-established business borrowers developed cash flow, profitability and other business-related problems.  We believe that our allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2009, was adequate; however, there can be no assurances that losses will not exceed the estimated amounts.  While we believe that we use the best information available to determine the allowance for loan losses, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustment to the allowance for loan losses.  In addition, net earnings could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in establishing the allowance for loan losses.  Further deterioration in the local economy or real estate values may create additional problem loans for us and require further adjustment to our allowance for loan losses.


Investment Securities

The Company has classified its investment securities portfolio as available-for-sale, with the exception of certain investments held for regulatory and/or correspondent banking relationships.  The Company carries its available-for-sale investment securities at fair value and employs valuation techniques which utilize observable inputs when those inputs are available.  These observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.  When such information is not available, the Company employs valuation techniques which utilize unobservable inputs, or those which reflect the Company’s own assumptions about market participants, based on the best information available in the circumstances.  These valuation methods typically involve estimated cash flows and other financial modeling techniques.  Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, estimates, or other inputs to the valuation techniques could have a material impact on the Company’s future financial condition and results of operations.  Fair value measurements are classified as Level 1 (quoted prices), Level 2 (based on observable inputs) or Level 3 (based on unobservable inputs).  Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, within stockholders’ equity, until realized.  Purchased premiums and discounts on investment securities are amortized/accreted into interest income over the estimated lives of the securities using the interest method.  Gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities are recorded on a trade date basis and are calculated using the specific identification method.
 
The Company performs quarterly reviews of the investment portfolio to determine if any investment securities have any declines in fair value which might be considered other-than-temporary.  The initial review begins with all securities in an unrealized loss position.  The Company’s assessment of other-than-temporary impairment is based on its reasonable judgment of the specific facts and circumstances impacting each individual security at the time such assessments are made.  The Company reviews and considers factual information, including expected cash flows, the structure of the security, the credit quality of the underlying assets and the current and anticipated market conditions.  As of January 1, 2009, the Company early adopted the guidance on other-than-temporary impairments in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities,” which changed the accounting for other- than-temporary impairments of debt securities and separates the impairment into credit-related and other factors for debt securities.  Any credit-related impairments are realized through a charge to earnings.

Executive Overview

The Company conducts the general business of a commercial bank, offering traditional lending and deposit products to businesses and individuals.  Revenue is generated primarily from interest income received on loans, investments combined with fee income and other miscellaneous revenue sources.  This income is primarily offset by interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds, provision for loan losses and other noninterest expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense and other miscellaneous expenses.

The Company reported net income of $2,831,000 in 2009, a decrease of 8.3% or $256,000 from 2008 net income of $3,087,000.  Net income on a basic and diluted per share basis was reported as $1.19 and $1.28 in 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Core earnings of the Company in 2009 were strong despite the overall level of interest rates, higher loan loss provision, and higher deposit insurance expenses.  The loan loss provision increased by $655,000 over the amount recorded for 2008, and we paid $307,000 in additional FDIC deposit insurance costs as compared to 2008.  Without the $962,000 attributable to the loan loss provision and deposit insurance net of taxes, net income for 2009 would have been $3,466,000, an increase of $379,000, or 12.3% greater than the net income for 2008.

Summary

Total assets increased $15.8 million during 2009 from $305.1 million in 2008 to $320.9 million, or a 5.2% increase. Net loans increased $4.0 million during 2009 from $210.9 million in 2008 to $214.9 million, or a 1.9% increase.  Securities available for sale increased $23.3 million to $66.8 million at December 31, 2009 from $43.5 million at December 31, 2008; the increase was partially due to the growth in deposit accounts and overnight cash going into investment securities.  Average earning assets for 2009 were $287.8 million, an increase of $20.9 million as compared to the annual average for 2008 of $266.9

million.  Year-over-year average balance increases, by earning asset category, included: loan balances increasing $3.3 million, securities balances increasing $6.4 million and Federal funds sold increasing $11.2 million over the prior year.

Total deposits were $268.8 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $19.7 million or 7.9% compared to $249.1 million at the end of 2008.  On average, deposit account balances were $255.8 million for 2009 as compared to $240.7 million for 2008; or an increase of $15.1 million.  The deposit category that saw the highest average balance increase over 2008 was savings deposits, up $13.9 million; with $13.4 million of the increase coming in money market accounts.  Interest-bearing checking account balances averaged $36.1 million for 2009 as compared to $34.2 million for 2008.  The only deposit account category to decline year-over-year was non-interest checking which averaged $1.1 million lower in 2009 than for the same period in 2008.

Other borrowings consisted of term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and overnight commercial repurchase agreements known as the Investment Sweeps product, which are non-deposit accounts, not insured by FDIC, collateralized by the Bank with US Government or Federal Agency securities sufficient to cover average account balances.  During 2009 the Investment Sweeps product balances averaged $5.1 million; or a decrease of $1.9 million over the balance for 2008 of $7.0 million.  In December 2008, management obtained a $6.0 million advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta for the purposes of funding a 12-month investment where the maturity of the investment and the advance would mature simultaneously in December 2009.  This advance along with a $5.0 million advance obtained in February 2008 produced an increase in FHLB advance average balances of $5.8 million.  The $6.0 million advance matured in December 2009, as expected and the Bank remains with the $5.0 million advance.  While management has a preference for customer deposits, FHLB advances provide greater flexibility especially during times when deposit gathering is difficult and more costly.

Stockholders' equity balance at December 31, 2009 was $39.0 million, an increase of $2.7 million from the year earlier ending balance of $36.3 million.  Retained earnings, net of dividends and repurchased common stock grew $1.0 million from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009.  Improvements in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.7 million were attributed to a decline in the unfunded pension liability and an improvement in the mark-to-market value of the investment securities portfolio.  Book value per share at December 31, 2009 was $16.44, an increase of 8.2% or $1.24 from the  book value per share of $15.20 at December 31, 2008.  The stock closed at $12.75 on December 31, 2009 or 78% of book value as compared to a December 31, 2008 closing stock price of $11.52 or 76% of book value.

The Company’s return on average assets (ROAA) for 2009 was 0.91% compared to 1.06% in 2008 while the return on average equity (ROAE) was 7.49% for 2009 compared to 8.18% in 2008.  The Company’s 2009 earnings reflected a full year of stagnant, low-level interest rates, the effects of a protracted economic recession and higher deposit insurance premium costs.  The Bank’s earning assets benefited from higher volumes during 2009, but this was more than offset by lower loan rates, higher average balances of non-accrual loans than in 2008 and lower rates on new investment securities.  On the deposit side, volume was strong in lower cost deposit accounts as compared to the previous year; however the interest margin benefited most from the 86 basis-point decline in certificate of deposit account rates.  The ROAE for the Company has historically been lower than peer financial institutions due to the higher amount of capital held by the Bank and the Company.

The provision for loan losses amounted to $900 thousand for 2009, an increase of $655 thousand as compared to the 2008 provision of $245 thousand.  Loan customers were impacted by the economic recession to a greater degree in 2009 than what had been seen in 2008 and this impacted calculations made by management in determining what should be an appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses.  Loans past due in 2009 averaged approximately $1.4 million higher than in 2008 and loans in non-accrual status averaged approximately $2.3 million higher in 2009 than in 2008.  Classified loans totaled $8.7 million as of December 31, 2009, which is $5.1 million greater than the $3.6 million at December 31, 2008.  As a result of the loan loss provision for 2009, the allowance-to-total-loans ratio increased from 1.02% at December 31, 2008 to 1.23% at December 31, 2009.  Management believes that the allowance was appropriate to cover any foreseeable loan losses as of December 31, 2009.

Non-interest income and non-interest expense for 2009 were somewhat impacted by the economic recession and higher deposit insurance costs.  Non-interest income totaled $2.490 million or $242.0 thousand less than the $2.732 million reported for 2008.  In the last half of 2008, management took a proactive consumer-friendly stance on the issue of checking account overdrafts.  Working within the spirit of the developing Federal guidelines seeking to change overdraft charges by banks, management moved to limit the number of overdrafts a consumer would be charged in any given day.  The Bank started providing customers with overdraft information directly on their monthly statements, not only for the current month but for the year-to-date.  The effects of these consumer-friendly efforts as well as the economic recession resulted in a decline in deposit account service charges of $173 thousand to $1.241 million for 2009 as compared to $1.414 million for 2008.  The effects of a slower residential mortgage lending market and lower rates resulted in a decrease in loan sales to the secondary market and income associated with this service decreased $28.8 thousand from 2008.  Lower interest rates resulted in a slower appreciation of the cash value of bank-owned life insurance which had revenue of $281.7 thousand in 2009, down $26.2 thousand from the $307.9 thousand reported for 2008.  ATM fee income increased $46.2 thousand in 2009 to $551.5 thousand as compared to the $505.3 thousand for 2008.  This increase was the result of continued customer volume growth and a full-year of the Bank’s new remote ATM.  Meanwhile, non-interest expense totaled $8.969 million for 2009, which is an increase of $55 thousand, or .62%, from the $8.914 recorded for 2008.  Included in non-interest income results for 2009 was a $60 thousand securities impairment (impairment is discussed later in this report, see “Investment Securities”) and $306.7 thousand in higher deposit insurance premium costs.  The higher deposit insurance premium costs included a one-time special assessment to re-liquefy the FDIC’s Bank Insurance Fund totaling $137.5 thousand and an increase in quarterly premiums of $169.2 thousand over the amounts expensed in 2008.

The effective income tax rate for the Company decreased for 2009 to 26.43% as compared to 27.07% for 2008.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the amount by which interest income on interest earning assets exceeds interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, is the most significant component of the Company’s earnings.  Net interest income is the function of several factors consisting of changes in the volume and composition (mix) of interest earning assets, funding sources, and market interest rates.  While management’s policies influence these factors, external forces such as customer needs and demands, competition and economic and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board are also contributing forces.
 
 
The following two tables provide information needed to understand the impact on net interest income as it relates not only to changes in mix but also the impact from the combination of changes in rate and volume.

As illustrated in the following table, net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased $589 thousand in 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily as a result of higher volumes in earning assets and in lower-cost deposit accounts.  Earning assets for 2009 show an increase in the average balances in all categories as compared to 2008, and the higher volume contributed an increase of $676 thousand in interest income versus 2008.  Conversely, the lower level of interest rates in 2009 had a $1.032 million decrease in interest income for 2009 as compared to 2008.  When the effects of volume and rate are taken together, interest income on earning assets declined $356 thousand for 2009 as compared to 2008.

Interest-bearing liabilities consist of deposit account products and other borrowings.  The costs of this funding decreased in 2009 by $945 thousand to $5.2 million from $6.1 million in 2008.  The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities grew by $20.1 million to $237.2 million as compared to the average balance for 2008 at $217.1 million.  As shown in the following table, the additional interest-bearing volume added $217 thousand in interest cost for 2009 or a cost of 1.08%; which is attributable to the fact that the growth was in low-cost deposit accounts.  Conversely, the decrease in interest rates dropped the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from an average rate of 2.82% for 2008 down to 2.18% for 2009; or 70 basis points.  This change due to rates decreased interest expense by $1.2 million for 2009 as compared to 2008.  The cost of funds, which includes interest-bearing deposits and borrowings as well as non-interest deposit balances, for 2009 was 1.90% or 52 basis points less than the 2.42% cost of funds for 2008.  The Company’s efforts are still to focus on growing low-cost deposits, provided these growth efforts are consistent with our goal of managing the overall interest margin.

Noninterest Income

The Company’s noninterest income decreased 8.86% to $2.490 million in 2009, compared to $2.732 million in 2008, which is a decrease of $242 thousand.  Management’s evaluation of certain below-investment-grade securities at year end resulted in a $60 thousand write-down of two securities.  This is the first time that the Company has written down securities for other-than-temporary impairments resulting from credit losses.  While the Company received monthly interest and principal payments during 2009, future cash flows projections using current default factors indicate the reported loss. The decline in non-interest income for 2009 is due to a few different factors including, current level of interest rates, the economic recession, changes in checking account overdraft policies, and the other-than-temporary impairment write-down.

When non-interest income is viewed exclusive of net gains on other real estate owned and investment securities gains, the result for 2009 is $2.474 million as compared to $2.712 million, a decrease of $238 thousand or 8.78% as compared to 2008.

The decline in service charges for deposit accounts is primarily the result of revising overdraft rules on checking accounts.  In the latter part of 2008, management reduced the number of overdrafts that a customer can be charged for on a daily basis and began to provide retail checking account customers with the number of overdrafts and the associated charges, for the current month and year-to-date directly on their monthly statements.  While management believes this was a proactive, consumer-friendly action to take, we also know (from studies performed in 2009) that this has impacted consumer behavior, as well.  In considering the new Federal consumer laws dealing with overdraft activity that are scheduled to be implemented in 2010, management is still in the process of determining what further impact this may have on noninterest income.  With the actions previously taken to revise the consumer overdraft policy, it is likely that any decline in fee income will be less than if the overdraft policy had not been changed in 2008.

Gain on sale of securities for 2009 was directly attributable to securities that were called by the issuer prior to maturity, while the gains in 2008 were associated with the intentional sale of two securities.

At December 31, 2009, management recorded an other-than-temporary impairment relating to what is determined to be a permanent credit loss involving two CMO securities in the amount of $60 thousand.  The determination of the credit loss is discussed later in this report under the heading “Impaired Securities”.

The economic recession and the level of interest rates, during 2009, are the primary reasons why the Company reported lower gains on sale of loans, a loss on the sale of other real estate owned, or OREO, and lower income from bank owned life insurance.  The sluggish housing market and customers’ reluctance to take on more debt has reduced the level of secondary mortgage activity, which leads to lower gains on sale of loans.  The current state of falling housing prices impacted the Bank’s effort to sell an OREO property at break-even or for a gain.  Income derived from bank owned life insurance is dependent on the longer term prospects of interest rates.  With interest rates falling for nearly two years, insurers decreased the interest rates which are associated with these policies.

ATM fees increased in 2009 as activity at all of the Bank’s ATMs showed strong activity; including the Bank’s first remote ATM at 200 North Main Street in Farmville, Virginia.

Noninterest Expense

The Company’s noninterest expense increased $55 thousand or 0.62% to $8.969 million in 2009 from $8.914 million in 2008.

Personnel costs in 2009 increased $147 thousand or 2.85% to $5.309 million as compared to $5.162 million for 2008.  Among the areas responsible for cost increases were cost-of-living and merit salary raises ($80 thousand), increases in health insurance ($20 thousand) and an increase in the defined pension plan cost ($124 thousand).  The increase in the defined pension plan cost for 2009 was a direct result of the impact the stock market losses had on the value of the plan’s assets.  Based upon actuarial data provided as of December 31, 2009, the net periodic costs for 2010 are anticipated to be approximately $228 thousand, excluding plan administrative costs.

           Commission expenses were $47 thousand lower than 2008 and they are paid primarily to the employees involved in advising on non-deposit investment products and for originators of secondary market loans.  Activity in both of these areas was off in 2009 as compared to 2008.  Incentive compensation was lower by nearly $62 thousand in 2009 and this was simply the result of reduced bonus awards that are tied to the Bank’s earnings.  Incentive compensation is generally available to eligible employees and the bonus award is influenced by the individual performance as well as the earnings performance of the Bank.

The deferral of loan origination cost in 2009 was $424 thousand and represents a decrease of $38 thousand from the $462 thousand of cost that was deferred in 2008.  Deferral of loan origination costs are attributed to the accounting treatment prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles, whereby direct costs associated with the loan origination function are deferred for amortization against the loan income during the life of the loan.  The volume of loans originated during 2009 was less than in 2008, while the cost per loan remained unchanged for 2009 versus 2008.

Total occupancy expense for 2009 was $580 thousand, which is $29 thousand lower than the $609 thousand expended in 2008; or a decrease of 4.76%.  The reduction in cost for 2009 is mainly attributable to a $31 thousand decrease in maintenance and repairs from the amount expensed in 2008, namely due to one-time repair and maintenance costs taken during 2008.  Building depreciation increased by $6 thousand in 2009.  During the last two years, the capital budgets have focused on building improvements which is resulting in additional annual depreciation expense.  Local property taxes remained steady at $48 thousand for both 2009 and 2008 while utility costs decreased $4 thousand over

2008. Repairs and maintenance costs for the last three years, in thousands, have totaled $146 for 2009, $177 for 2008 and $154 for 2007.

Total equipment expense for 2009 totaled $571 thousand or a decrease of $62 thousand or 9.79% from the $633 thousand expensed in 2008 and represents the third consecutive year that equipment costs have declined.  In 2008, equipment costs declined $56 thousand from 2007.  The reduction in cost for 2009 was namely due to a decrease in equipment depreciation of $27 thousand from the amount expensed in 2008.  Another contributing factor to the decline in total equipment expense was the decrease of $26 thousand in equipment service and repairs attributable to the reduction in service contracts.  Equipment replacement, including computer hardware, is on a scheduled basis and equipment purchases are budgeted as part of the Bank’s annual Capital Budget Plan.

FDIC deposit insurance expenses were $307 thousand greater in 2009 than for the previous year.  The Bank paid a special Bank Insurance Fund assessment at June 30, 2009 in the amount of $138 thousand.  This is the first special assessment imposed by the FDIC in recent years.  Additionally, the Bank’s one-time credit allowance ended as of June 30, 2009.  This is the one-time credit allotted to banks nationwide that had been part of the Bank Insurance Fund as of December 31, 1996, the Bank was originally allotted a credit of $244 thousand by the FDIC.  For 2008 the Bank realized $119 thousand of this credit against premium costs and for 2009 the Bank realized a credit of $31 thousand, which served to increase 2009 deposit insurance costs by $88 thousand when compared to 2008.  The remaining increase in insurance costs of $81 thousand was the result of higher deposit account balances and fees incurred by the Bank to participate in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program.

Total other expenses for 2009 were $2.508 million, a decrease of $2 thousand or .08% from 2008 when the cost was $2.510 million.  The areas of cost which impacted this category involved the effects of renegotiated core processing contracts, cost reduction related to the branch capture conversion, and costs associated with real estate acquired through foreclosure.

During 2008, management participated in contract renegotiations with its core processing systems vendor.  The renewal contract contained numerous cost concessions that will continue for the five-year term of the contract.  Billing problems with the core processor prevented the Bank from fully recognizing the savings it should have been able to record in 2008.  The core processor resolved most of the billing discrepancies during 2009 and this permitted the Bank to reverse expenses related to these issues in the fourth quarter of 2009.  The cost savings for 21 months resulted in lower costs of $177 thousand in 2009.

The Bank fully converted its banking offices to branch capture in the fourth quarter of 2008.  Branch capture is the electronic conversion of paper checks, which customers deposit at our banking offices, to a digital image that is transmitted from the individual offices via the Bank’s network to the Operations Department.  Prior to the branch capture conversion, paper checks were physically transported, daily, by courier from the banking offices to the Operations Department.  The Bank realized the cost savings associated with courier expenses during 2009, which totaled $36 thousand.

Costs associated with the acquisition, repair and disposal of real estate acquired through foreclosure sales increased $51 thousand in 2009 to $64 thousand in comparison to the expense reported in 2008 of $13 thousand.   Management, while attempting to dispose of these properties in a timely manner, realizes that the holding period for acquired properties will be longer in the current economic environment that it otherwise would be in a more robust economic climate.  Holding costs for foreclosed properties are likely to higher as a result.  Repairs to properties are performed on a selected basis.  The costs are usually incurred only when failing to make the repair could result in further structural damage.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income before income taxes includes both taxable income and tax-exempt income, including interest on municipal securities and bank-owned life insurance.   The effective income tax rate, based on income before taxes is, therefore, lower than the statutory Federal income tax rate of 34%.  Financial institutions in the Commonwealth of Virginia are not subject to a state income tax, rather, a franchise tax is assessed and paid.  The cost of the franchise tax is recorded as part of the Other Expense category discussed above.   The effective income tax rate for 2009 was 26.43% or a decrease from 27.07% in 2008 and 28.71% in 2007.  Income taxes for 2009 totaled $1.018 million from $1.146 million for 2008 and from $1.367 million in 2007 as a result of lower pre-tax net earnings and an increase in tax-exempt securities as a percentage of total assets.

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses

The Allowance for Loan Losses is maintained at a level that in management’s judgment will be adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible.  The provision for loan losses increases the allowance, and loans charged off, net of recoveries, reduce the allowance.

After considering factors such as portfolio and economic conditions, delinquency trends, past loan loss experience, the volume of new loans, as well as other factors deserving recognition, the allowance for loan losses was set at $2.673 million at December 31, 2009.  This is an increase of $506 thousand from December 31, 2008 and $723 thousand greater than the allowance balance at December 31, 2007.  Charge-offs for 2009 were concentrated in commercial and residential real estate and consumer loans.  Charge-offs were primarily needed to adjust the loan balances for the current carrying value of the other real estate owned.  Consumer loan charge-offs were mainly the result of vehicle loan defaults.  Recoveries for 2009 totaled $55 thousand. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2009 was 1.23% of total loans, an increase of 21 basis points from 1.02% at December 31, 2008.

The Bank recognized recoveries of previously charged provision in 2007 of $238 thousand and in 2006 of $316 thousand as a result of reaching settlement agreements with loan guarantors.

Depending on the effects of current economic conditions, a higher level of nonperforming loans may result during 2010, which may require a higher provision for loan losses.

Loan portfolio risks are monitored by management. A credit review of outstanding loans and loan collateral is performed by management in order to identify potential losses. This process is enhanced by the fact that the Audit and Risk Management Committee engages the services of an independent loan review firm to validate management’s risk rating process. Non-accrual loans were $5,259,000 and $1,115,000 at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. It is the Company’s policy to put loans on a non-accrual basis once they are past due 90 days or more. Loans greater than 90 days past due may remain on accrual status if management determines we have adequate collateral value to cover the principal and interest or the loan is in process of collection. For those loans that are carried on nonaccrual status, payments are first applied to principal outstanding.

At December 31 2009, management was monitoring loans considered to be impaired totaling $6,116,000 of which $3,226,000 are on a non-accrual status.  Of the total impaired loans, $2,890,000 was in accrual status since the borrowers were not 90 days or more past due in their payments as of the reporting date.  Information obtained as a result of management loan reviews and/or information obtained directly from borrowers may be sufficient for management to consider the loan impaired, especially if the information provides reasonable expectation that the loan will not be repaid as originally agreed.  As an accruing and impaired loan’s conditions change, management may move the loan to non-accrual, may assign specific reserves, or do both.  All impaired loans are monitored closely and management at present believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover anticipated losses that may be attributable to these loans.  Various forms of collateral are held as security on the loans.

Financial Condition

Summary

At December 31, 2009, the Company had total assets of $321.0 million compared to $305.1 million at December 31, 2008.  The increase is total assets was invested namely in loans and short-term investments and was funded by a combination of growth in deposit balances, borrowed funds and retained earnings.

Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2009 was $39.0 million compared to $36.3 million at December 31, 2008.  The net increase in total equity is namely the result of the increase in market values of available for sale securities and the decrease in the unfunded pension liability.  (Refer to Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for further details.)
 
 
Loan Portfolio

The Bank uses the funds generated from deposits, short-term FHLB advances, combined with investment portfolio liquidity to support its lending activities and it competes aggressively for loans in its market areas.  Loan originations for 2009 totaled $62.5 million or a 20.2% decrease over the $78.3 million originated in 2008.  Management attributes the lower amount of loan originations due to the economic recession, customers’ desire to reduce debt levels given the uncertain jobs climate, and a larger number of applicants who did not meet loan underwriting requirements.  A lower level of loan originations did not mean a decline in total loans; at December 31, 2009, loans totaled $217.5 million or an increase of $4.5 million from the $213.0 million at December 31, 2008. (The Bank does not make loans outside of the United States.)

Loans are made predominantly to individuals and businesses located in the Bank’s trade area.  Approximately 83% of the loan portfolio on December 31, 2009 was composed of real estate secured loans.

Investment Securities

The investment securities portfolio has a primary role in the management of the Company’s liquidity requirements, interest rate sensitivity and in generating substantial interest income.  Investment securities play a key role in diversifying the Company’s balance sheet.  The investment securities provide the Company’s balance sheet with an average maturity duration that is shorter (under 7 years) than compared to the loan portfolio which generally has longer average maturities (5 years and greater).  The Company’s securities portfolio is generally used to meet collateral requirements for public funds deposits and for commercial customers utilizing the overnight repurchase program.  The investment securities portfolio is actively utilized to assist in managing the Company’s interest rate sensitivity and prepayment risks.  It is managed to ensure adequate balance sheet liquidity can be obtained to fund loans or for other needs.

Restricted securities are excluded from this discussion since they represent required investments in the capital stock of certain correspondent banks.  The value held in restricted securities is namely based upon the level of business activity the Bank has with the correspondent bank or other requirements that have no bearing on balance sheet growth or investment strategies of either the Bank or the Company.  Restricted securities are carried at cost.

The investment policy of the Company prohibits any investment in any form of equity security, whether it is private, publicly-traded, or Federal government-sponsored entities (GSEs).  Corporate debt investments are permitted for nationally-known, highly-rated companies.

The investment policy does not require the immediate liquidation of any security that falls below the investment grade rating of BBB minus for Fitch and S&P, or Baa3 for Moody’s.  The liquidation of a security simply due to a credit rating change without considering other factors such as the likelihood of the security recovering from the downgrade or the possibility of ultimately recovering the full book value of the security might lead to taking losses, unnecessarily.  If a security falls below investment grade, management is required to monitor the security for any subsequent deterioration and to provide the board of directors with an update, monthly.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company held three securities with below investment grade ratings.  These securities are discussed below under “Impaired Securities”.

All investment securities are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value adjusted for amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts.  By classifying the securities as available for sale, management has the opportunity to react to changing liquidity needs and market conditions.

 
33

 

The Company’s investment securities portfolio grew $23.3 million or 53.6% from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009.  This dramatic growth was due primarily to factors including deposit growth during 2009, lower loan demand during the second half of 2009, and the investment of overnight funds held at December 31, 2008.  The Bank experienced deposit growth of 7.9% from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009.  While management prefers to see balance sheet growth being channeled into loan growth, given the greater earnings spread that generally exists for loans versus investment securities, loan demand slowed significantly during the later half of 2009.  At December 31, 2008, management purposely held higher levels of liquidity given the instability of the national economy, the daily inundation by the news media of worsening conditions and the uncertainty of how customers might react to this crisis.  Available for sale securities represented 21% of total assets at December 31, 2009 as compared to 14% of total assets at December 31, 2008.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, investment securities with a book value of $24,874,000 and $18,891,000, respectively, were pledged to collateralize public deposits and for other purposes.

Impaired Securities

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had three investment securities that have credit ratings below investment grade. The securities are collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO) that were securitized by private firms and not by the Federal agencies, Fannie Mae (FNMA) or Freddie Mac (FHLMC).  The underlying collateral consists of jumbo residential mortgage loans consisting of fixed rate, 30-year terms.  Jumbo mortgages are loans that have original loan balances that exceed $417,000.  Collectively, these securities had a book value of $1,957,118 and represented 2.9% of the total available for sale securities’ book value of $66,659,364.  Monthly payments continue to be received on each security which represents principal and interest payments made by the underlying mortgagors.

CMOs are a hybrid form of a mortgage-backed security that creates separate pools of pass-through rates for different classes of bondholders with varying maturities, called tranches.  Each security was purchased at separate times, one on November 15, 2005, December 7, 2006 and September 28, 2007.

The Company purchased senior tranches of each security and each security met all of the investment policy’s pre-purchase requirements.  The purchase of a senior tranche provides that the investor is paid out first with prepayments and repayments of principal and interest until they are paid off.  The yield of a senior tranche is typically lower as compared to less senior tranches, conversely, the risk of bearing credit losses is deemed to be less in a senior tranche than it is for the lower tranches which inherently carry higher risk of loss as a result of credit defaults.  The securities were rated by the credit rating agencies, Fitch and Standard & Poors, as AAA when purchased.

Since the announced downgrades by the credit rating agencies, Fitch and Standard & Poors, management has used the results from analytical cash flow models which it obtains from third party consultants to determine these securities might be other than temporarily impaired (OTTI).  Among the inputs used for the analytical model are the current credit default statistics of each individual security.  The models project the future cash flows assuming that the default statistics remain unchanged until the security’s stated maturity date.

The results of the stress testing concluded that as of December 31, 2009, there existed some likelihood of credit losses in two of the three CMO securities.  The results indicated that a $60 thousand credit loss is likely prior to the securities’ maturity.  From this conclusion, management recorded a $60 thousand charge as a permanent credit impairment.  A complete analysis report was provided to the Board of Directors and to the Company’s external auditors, Yount, Hyde & Barbour, and P.C. in January 2010.


Deposits

The Company’s predominant source of funds is depository accounts, which are comprised of demand deposits, savings, money market accounts, and time deposits. The Company’s deposits are principally provided by individuals and businesses located within the communities served.  In 2008, the Bank began to offer certificates of deposits that provided FDIC deposit insurance up to $50 million per customer.  Management sought to offer this product as a convenience to those customers who desire this type of guarantee and has chosen not to extensively promote the offering.

The average balance for 2009 of all interest bearing deposit account products was $221.4 million, an increase of $16.2 million or 6.31% as compared to the average balance of $205.2 million for 2008.  The average rate of interest-bearing deposit accounts was 2.23% for 2009 and this is a decrease of 64 basis points from the rate of 2.87% for 2008.  Management places an emphasis on increasing lower cost deposit account balances as a means of managing the net interest margin.  For 2009, the average balance of noninterest demand deposit accounts decreased $1.0 million for an average of $34.4 million

 
35

 

during 2009 as compared to an average balance of $35.4 million for 2008.  The economic downturn has forced individuals and businesses to rely on cash in their accounts for everyday living expenditures and business operations and to pay down individual or business debt.  This is the only deposit account category that saw a decrease in the average balance for 2009 versus 2008.

The low cost deposit account strategy also includes money market accounts.  During 2009, average balances of money market accounts increased $13.4 million for an annual average balance of $29.8 million for 2009 as compared to an annual average balance of $16.4 million for 2008.  For 2009, the average cost for money market accounts was 1.40%, and was a 6 basis point increase from the average cost of 1.34% for 2008.  Many customers discovered the benefits of the Bank’s tiered money market account product; especially when short-term CD rates were comparable and this product offered greater ease of access over time deposits.

Other low cost deposit accounts such as interest-bearing demand deposit accounts and savings accounts had average annual balance for 2009 of $53.7 million, an increase of $2.4 million in comparison to an average balance of $51.2 million for 2008.  Time deposits had an average balance of $137.9 million for 2009 or an increase of $400 thousand when compared to the average balance of $137.5 million for 2008.

Financial Instruments with Off Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit.  Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.

 
36

 


The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.  The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

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.  The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon.  Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Unfunded commitments under commercial lines-of-credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers.  These lines-of-credit may be secured or unsecured with varied maturities based upon product type, collateral, and credit worthiness of the borrower.

Standby letters-of-credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those letters-of-credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements.  Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters-of-credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.

Liquidity

Liquidity assesses the Company’s ability to meet financial obligations consisting of lending commitments, deposit outflows, operational expenses and contingencies that arise during the normal course of business.  Liquidity is also defined as the Company’s ability to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of the customers of the Company in addition to meeting current and planned expenditures.  The Company’s liquidity is derived primarily from its deposit base and equity capital and is provided through the Company’s cash, balances in correspondent banks, federal funds sold, investments maturing or repaying within one year and securities available for sale. The Company’s growth has continued to be funded primarily through these sources.

As of December 31, 2009, approximately $85.7 million or 39% of the loan portfolio will mature or re-price within one year.  Maturities and principal repayments from the investment securities portfolio that are expected within one year are approximately $23.3 million, or 34% of the investment portfolio.  Expected liquidity of approximately $109.0 million from the loan and investment portfolios, within the next year, is scheduled to provide a steady flow of funds to meet deposit withdrawals or loan demand.  Additionally, a cash reserve is maintained, usually in the form of overnight investments in federal funds.   During 2009, the Company was a seller of Federal funds in daily average amounts of $11.0 million.  Higher-than-required liquidity levels were experienced during 2009 mainly as a result of a combination of factors including the unexpected growth in customer deposits, slower loan demand, and the limited availability of investment securities that met asset/liability management requirements.

 
37

 


Other sources of liquidity available to the Company include its capacity to borrow additional funds when necessary.  Federal funds lines of credit are maintained with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and with major regional banks that totaled $67.0 million at December 31, 2009.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had outstanding advances totaling $5,000,000 and $11,000,000 respectively, with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, detailed below.

    5,000,000       5,000,000  
    $ 5,000,000     $ 11,000,000  

As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its clients’ credit needs.


Capital Resources

The Company’s principal source of capital is generated through retained earnings.  In 2009, $1,215,000, or 43%, of earnings were retained and added to the capital of the Company.

Capital growth has historically benefited from our level of dividend payout limits. In 2009 the dividend payout represented 57% of net income.  The Company’s current dividend policy limits annual dividend payouts to no more than 60% of the net earnings for the trailing twelve months.  The ratio of average equity to average assets was 12.09% in 2009, compared to 12.90% in 2008.   Stockholders’ equity was $38,989,000 at December 31, 2009.

The Company’s Tier I Leverage ratio was 12.3%.  The Tier I risk-based capital ratio for the Company was 19.5% on December 31, 2009 while the Tier II or total risk-based capital ratio was 20.8%.   Both Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios at December 31, 2009 exceeded regulatory risk-based capital requirements by substantial margins and the Company continues to be well capitalized.

Cash dividends totaling $1,616,000 were declared in 2009 which represents a payout ratio of 57% compared to a payout ratio of 53% in 2008.  It is anticipated that internally generated funds will cover any capital improvements in 2010.  The Company believes its liquidity and capital resources are more than adequate to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

A stock repurchase plan is ongoing since September 1, 2007.  The plan is intended to provide additional liquidity in the trading of the Company’s stock and to provide the Company with opportunities to reduce the number of shares outstanding.  (Additional information on the stock repurchase plan is discussed in Part II, Item 5, earlier in this report.)


Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures were $397 thousand in 2009 compared to $632 thousand in 2008.  The capital expenditures in 2009 were focused on planned building repairs and improvements such as the exterior renovation for the Main Office facility, the installation of a new ATM for the Amelia branch, the installation of handicap accessible entrances at the Colonial Heights and Farmville branch locations and the replacement of drive-thru and audio equipment at certain branches.

 
38

 

Capital expenditures approved by the Board of Directors for 2010 totals $195 thousand and primarily consist of replacing building components and equipment.


Inflation

In financial institutions virtually all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature.  As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on a bank’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation since interest rate movement is not necessarily affected by inflation.


Recent Developments

First Quarter 2010 Cash Dividend Approved

On March 25, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a $0.17 per share quarterly cash dividend that will be payable on April 15, 2010 to shareholders of record on April 2, 2010.  Based upon the closing stock price recorded on March 17, 2010 of $13.00, this quarterly dividend results in an annualized yield of 5.23%.

ITEM 7A.                     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the potential risk to earnings and/or to the economic value of equity due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions as they relate to the financial industry.  The Company’s market risk exposure is primarily its exposure to interest rate risk (IRR).  The measuring, monitoring and management of IRR is the responsibility of the Asset Liability Management Committee (the ALCO).  The Board of Directors of the Company has delegated responsibility for asset liability management to the ALCO whose main objectives are to manage IRR while optimizing earnings through net interest income and management of the balance sheet.  The Company uses a simulation model on a quarterly basis to measure IRR.  This model utilizes the Company’s financial data and various management assumptions and projections as they relate to growth, interest rates, noninterest income and noninterest expenses in order to forecast the interest sensitivity of the Company and its potential impact on net interest income, earnings and equity.  The model projects a “most likely” forecast which is then “shocked” with various interest rate increases and decreases in order to project the short term effects on net interest income and net income.  The model also projects the effects on the economic value of equity (EVE) of the Company using the same interest rate increases and decreases.  The EVE sensitivity measure is a measure of the long-term risk of the bank.

Interest rate "gap" analysis is a common, though imperfect, measure of interest rate risk which measures the relative dollar amounts of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities which reprice within a specific time period, either through maturity or rate adjustment.  The "gap" is the difference between the amounts of such assets and liabilities that are subject to such repricing.  An "asset sensitive" gap for a given period means that the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or otherwise repricing within that period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or otherwise repricing during that same period.  In a rising interest rate environment, an institution with an asset sensitive gap would generally be expected, absent the effects of other factors, to experience a greater increase in the yield of its assets relative to the cost of its liabilities.  Conversely, the cost of funds for an institution with an asset sensitive gap would generally be expected to decline less quickly than the yield on its assets in a falling interest rate environment.  Changes in interest rates generally have the opposite effect on an institution with a "liability sensitive" gap.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s asset/liability model analysis indicates that the Company remains asset sensitive for 2010 and then returns to being liability sensitive for 2011.  The ALCO adopted an interest rate forecast that called for short-term interest rates to be at the same level for the first half of 2010 as they were at December 31, 2009.  Therefore, being asset sensitive in a steady or slightly rising rate environment would have a positive impact on net interest income.  The forecasted increase in interest rates for the second half of 2010 is 25 basis points or less for short term rates with an increase of 20 and 50 basis points for 5-year and 10-year Treasury notes, respectively.  The balance sheet becomes liability sensitive during 2011 when short-term rates are anticipated to be rising steadily by approximately 25 basis points per quarter and when long-term rates such as the 5-year and 10-year Treasuries are forecasted to increase less than 25 basis points for the entire year of 2011.

Since the earnings model uses numerous assumptions regarding the effect of changes in interest rates, on the timing and extent of re-pricing characteristics, future cash flows and customer behavior, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income and the effect on net income from sudden changes in interest rates.  Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.  The model simulation results presented below are based upon the instantaneous increase or decrease (shock) of current interest rates at December 31, 2009.  This method meets regulatory requirements.  The Company’s management does recognize that rate shocks represent the most severe of interest rate change scenarios, and has viewed prior modeling results using a “rate ramping” methodology that illustrates the effect of interest rate changes over a period of 12 months, rather than overnight.  The model utilizes current market interest rates to measure against the Company’s portfolio rates for earning assets, deposits and other interest sensitive liabilities in order to compute the economic value of equity.

ITEM 9A.                     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of December 31, 2009, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records which accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, will have inherent limitations, such as the possibility of unintentional human error or intentional circumvention of overriding control.  Therefore, any system of internal control can provide only a reasonable assurance as to the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting.  Further, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time.

The Company’s management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  This assessment was based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.

           This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. and Subsidiary
Blackstone, Virginia


We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes 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 Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We were not engaged to examine management's assessment of the effectiveness of Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. and Subsidiary's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

(the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and conform to predominant practices within the financial services industry.

 
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported 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, securities with other than temporary impairment, deferred income taxes, and fair value measurements.

Amounts in prior years’ Consolidated Financial Statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Management has evaluated the impact of subsequent events on these financial statements through the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks and federal funds sold.  With the exception of certain FDIC-insured time deposits, all balances are readily available for use by the Company and its subsidiary.

Securities

 
The Company classifies all investment securities as available for sale as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.  Securities classified as available for sale are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income, net of taxes.  Other-than-temporary-impairment, deemed to be credit-related, is charged to earnings as realized losses.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007

Note 1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  (continued)

 
Impairment of securities occurs when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost.   For debt securities, impairment is considered other-than-temporary and recognized in its entirety in net income if either (1) the Company intends to sell the security or (2) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.   If, however the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more-than-likely that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, management 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.

 
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis.  Consideration is given to: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (3) the ability of the issuer to make principal and interest payments, and (4) changes in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the issuer.  A decline in fair value of any security below cost that is deemed other than temporary and related to the credit-worthiness of the issuer is charged to earnings, resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

 
Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Restricted Securities

 
The Company is required to maintain an investment in the capital stock of certain correspondent banks.  No ready market exists for this stock, and it has no quoted market value.  The Company’s investment in these stocks is recorded at cost.

Loans

 
Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding net of deferred origination costs.  The deferred origination costs together with loan origination fees are recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.

 
The accrual of interest on commercial and real estate loans is generally discontinued when loans become 90 days delinquent or when, in management’s judgment, the full collection of principal and interest is uncertain. Loans are returned to accrual status when doubt no longer exists about the loan’s collectability.

 
Management, considering current information and events regarding the borrowers’ ability to repay their obligations, considers a loan to be impaired when it is improbable that the Company will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured based on the loan’s observable fair value or the fair value of underlying collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.  Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through an allocation of the provision for loan losses.  In considering loans for evaluation of impairment, management generally excludes smaller balance, homogeneous loans: residential mortgage loans, home equity loans, and all consumer loans, unless such loans were restructured in a troubled debt restructuring.  These loans are collectively evaluated for risk of loss.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  (continued)

Loans Held for Sale

 
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value.  Mortgage loans held for sale are sold with the mortgage servicing rights released by the Company.

 
The Company enters into commitments to originate certain mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loans is determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments).  Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives.  The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment, loan closing and the sale of the loan generally ranges from thirty to ninety days.  The Company protects itself from changes in interest rates through the use of best efforts forward delivery commitments, whereby the Company commits to sell a loan at the time the borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the buyer has assumed interest rate risk on the loan.  As a result, the Company is not exposed to losses nor will it realize significant gains related to its rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates.  The correlation between the rate lock commitments and the best efforts contracts is very high due to
 
their similarity.  Because of this high correlation, no gain or loss occurs on the rate lock commitments.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve for probable and inherent losses in the loan portfolio.  Credit losses arise primarily from the loan portfolio, but may also be derived from other credit-related sources, when drawn upon, such as commitments and standby letters of credit.  Additions are made to the allowance through periodic provisions, which are charged to expense.  All losses of principal are charged to the allowance when incurred or when a determination is made that a loan is uncollectable. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

 
The Company has established a process to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and to identify the risks in the loan portfolio. This process consists of the identification of specific reserves for identified problem commercial loans.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful or substandard.  For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.    
 
 
 
The calculation of the general reserve involves several steps and covers non-classified loans and special mention.  A historical loss factor is applied to each loan classification.  The historical loss factors are calculated using an average of the net losses attributable to each loan classification for a trailing five year period.  An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.  The unallocated component of the allowance reflects subjective elements (economic conditions, portfolio growth rate, portfolio management, credit policy, and others). This methodology is applied to the commercial, residential mortgage, and consumer portfolios and represents the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

 
While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions.  In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to make additions to the

allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Premises and Equipment

 
Land is carried at cost.   Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Estimated useful lives of the assets range from 3 to 39 years.  Major improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Other Real Estate Owned

 
Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure is held for sale and is initially recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure.  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.  Adjustments to carrying value, revenue and expenses related to holding foreclosed assets are recorded in earnings as they occur.  The Company had $1,072,719 in foreclosed assets at December 31, 2009 and $957,112 in foreclosed assets at December 31, 2008.

Income Taxes

 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the balance sheet method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

 
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained.  The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any.  Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.  Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.  The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying 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 tax expense in the statements of income.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

 
The Company provides a noncontributory pension plan covering substantially all of the Company’s employees who are eligible based on age and length of service.  The Company funds pension costs in accordance with the funding provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

 
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income.  However certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and pension liability adjustments are reported as a separate component in the equity section of the balance sheet, as components of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Earnings Per Share

 
Earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding.  The Company has no dilutive or potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.  For the years ending December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the weighted-average common shares outstanding were 2,380,366, 2,412,954 and 2,439,505, respectively.

 
Advertising

 
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.

 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance related to U.S. GAAP (FASB ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).  This guidance establishes FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities.  Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants.  FASB ASC supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.  All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in FASB ASC has become non-authoritative.  FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts.  Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs), which will serve to update FASB ASC, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to FASB ASC.  FASB ASC is not intended to change U.S. GAAP or any requirements of the SEC.

 
The Company adopted new guidance impacting FASB Topic 805: Business Combinations (Topic 805) on January 1, 2009. This guidance requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition); establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; requires expensing of most transaction and restructuring costs; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has not entered into any business combinations.

 
In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Topic 805. This guidance addresses application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. This guidance was effective for business combinations entered into on or after January 1, 2009. This guidance did not have a

material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has not entered into any business combinations.

 
In December 2008, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB Topic 715-20: Compensation Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General. The objectives of this guidance are to provide users of the financial statements with more detailed information related to the major categories of plan assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets and the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on changes in plan assets for the period, as well as how investment allocation decisions are made, including the factors that are pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and strategies. The disclosures about plan assets required by this guidance are included in Note 11 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB Topic 820:Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). This interpretation provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly and requires additional disclosures of valuation inputs and techniques in interim periods and defines the major security types that are required to be disclosed. This guidance was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 
In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB Topic 320-10: Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. This guidance amends GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This guidance was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company did not have any cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of this guidance.

 
In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB Topic 855: Subsequent Events. This update provides guidance on management’s assessment of subsequent events that occur after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements are issued. This guidance is generally consistent with current accounting practice. In addition, it requires certain additional disclosures. This guidance was effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 
In August 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Topic 820. This guidance is intended to reduce ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. This guidance was effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) after issuance and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 
In September 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Topic 820. This creates a practical expedient to measure the fair value of an alternative investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value. This guidance also requires certain additional disclosures. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 
In October 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Release No. 33-99072, Internal Control over Financial Reporting in Exchange Act Periodic Reports of Non-Accelerated Filers. Release No. 33-99072 delays the requirement for non-accelerated filers to include an attestation

report of their independent auditor on internal control over financial reporting with their annual report until the fiscal year ending on or after June 15, 2010.

 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. ASU 2010-01 clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in

 
EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend.  ASU 2010-01 is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and should be applied on a retrospective basis.  The adoption of ASU 2010-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 
Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

 
In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to the accounting for transfers of financial assets. The new guidance, which was issued as SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140, was adopted into Codification in December 2009 through the issuance of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-16. The new standard provides guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that an entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.  The Company will adopt the new guidance in 2010 and is evaluating the impact it will have, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

 
In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to the variable interest entities.  The new guidance, which was issued as SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), was adopted into Codification in December 2009. The objective of the guidance is to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. SFAS No. 167 is effective as of January 1, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new guidance to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements since it is not involved with any variable interest entity.

 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing. ASU 2009-15 amends Subtopic 470-20 to expand accounting and reporting guidance for own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of convertible debt issuance. ASU 2009-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification. ASU 2010-02 amends Subtopic 810-10 to address implementation issues related to changes in ownership provisions including clarifying the scope of the decrease in ownership and additional disclosures.  ASU 2010-02 is effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts Statement 160.  If an entity has previously adopted Statement 160, ASU 2010-02 is effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009 and should be applied retrospectively to the first period

Statement 160 was adopted.   The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-02 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-04, Accounting for Various Topics – Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs. ASU 2010-04 makes technical corrections to existing SEC guidance including the following topics: accounting for subsequent investments, termination of an interest rate swap, issuance of financial statements - subsequent events, use of residential method to value acquired assets other than goodwill, adjustments in assets and liabilities for holding gains and losses, and selections of discount rate used for measuring defined benefit obligation. The

Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-05, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation. ASU 2010-05 updates existing guidance to address the SEC staff’s views on overcoming the presumption that for certain
shareholders escrowed share arrangements represent compensation.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-05 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, require new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-08, Technical Corrections to Various Topics. ASU 2010-08 clarifies guidance on embedded derivatives and hedging. ASU 2010-08 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-08 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007

Note 2.              Securities

U.S. Government and Federal Agency securities consist of debt obligations of the U.S. Government or of its designated agencies including Federal Farm Credit Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), and the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA).  At December 31, 2009, the Company held debt securities for the Federal Farm Credit Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.

State and municipal bonds consist of debt obligations of states, municipalities, and school districts throughout the United States.  Management’s evaluation of state and municipal debt securities, prior to the purchase, includes a review of the governmental entity’s credit rating.  A security purchase is made based on the entity’s credit rating without any consideration to the rating enhancement which may come from the bond insurer.  Management strives to purchase general obligation debt securities which can offer a reduced risk of default.

Mortgage-backed securities consist of mortgage-backed pass-through securities that are issued by the Federal Agencies: Government National Mortgage Association, FHLMC and FNMA.  This category also includes collateralized mortgage obligations, otherwise known as CMOs, which are issued by Federal Agencies such as FNMA and FHLMC and by private issuers.

Corporate securities consist of debt obligations issued by large, national corporations.  This category while providing diversity for the investment portfolio, it is generally the smallest of the four securities categories in terms of total dollars invested.

Restricted securities consist of required investments in Federal Home Loan Bank stock, Federal Reserve Bank stock and Community Banker’s Bank stock.   No ready market exists for these stocks, and there is no quoted market value.   Therefore the stock is carried at cost.

The unrealized losses in the investment portfolio as of December 31, 2009 are considered temporary and are a result of general market fluctuations.  The unrealized losses are from 38 securities, of which 35 securities are rated as investment grade and are backed by insurance, U.S. government agency guarantees, or the full faith and credit of local municipalities throughout the United States.  The investment policy does require that a below investment grade security be monitored by Management but the investment policy does not require that the security be sold simply because it has fallen to below investment grade.

Impaired Securities

Three non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO) securities have a credit agency rating of “below investment grade” at December 31, 2009.  Of the 3 non-agency CMO securities, 2 were initially downgraded to below investment grade by S&P and Moody’s in the fourth quarter of 2008.  The book value of these 2 non-agency CMO securities at December 31, 2009 was $1,694,177 as compared to a market value of $1,220,040, or an unrealized loss of $474,137.  During the second quarter of 2009, Moody’s downgraded the third CMO security to below “investment grade” from a rating of Aaa to Ba1.  As of December 31, 2009, this third CMO security had a book value of $262,941 as compared to a market value of $240,586 or an

unrealized loss of $22,355.  Market values, in general, for the non-agency CMO category have been very volatile due to the lack of market participants.  Since the announced downgrade of these securities, Management has taken a proactive stance in the monthly monitoring of the
underlying collateral’s performance and is using advanced analytics (along with severe delinquency projections) to project the future likelihood that these securities would require an other-than-temporary-impairment (OTTI) write down.

The analysis performed as of December 31, 2009 indicated that there is the potential for loss from the two CMO securities that were initially down graded in the fourth quarter of 2008.  The discounting of forecasted cash flows from each of these securities indicated a potential loss of $60,000 prior to the full maturity of the securities.  While the securities were making regular monthly principal and interest payments as of December 31, 2009, management determined that taking the impairment was prudent given the future credit loss indicated in the analysis.  The Company will continue to monitor and test the status of all five non-agency CMO securities; at least quarterly, to determine any further impairment.

A roll-forward of the OTTI amount related to credit losses on debt securities for the year ended December 31, 2009 is as follows:

Market prices change daily and are affected by conditions beyond the control of the Company.  Investment decisions are made by the management group of the Company and reflect the overall liquidity and strategic asset/liability objectives of the Company.  Management analyzes the securities portfolio frequently and manages the portfolio to provide an overall positive impact to the Company’s income statement and balance sheet.

Securities having carrying values of $24,873,948 and $18,891,076 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes required by law.

Management has positioned the investment portfolio to take advantage of not only the current investment environment but also the investment opportunities that will exist as market interest rates rise.  As a result of this strategy, it is possible to see an increase in the number of securities that are called by the issuer, prior to maturity.  For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, proceeds from the sales and calls of securities amounted to $22,815,000, $15,793,135 and $1,000,000 respectively.  Gross realized gains for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $21,409 and $19,821.  There were no gross realized gains or losses for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Note 2.              Securities  (continued)

The Bank’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock totaled $1,033,000 at December 31, 2009.   FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long term investment and as a restricted investment security which is carried at cost, because there is no market for the stock other than the FHLB or member institutions.   Therefore, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value.   The Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta omitted its first quarter dividend for 2009 and resumed paying dividends for the second and third quarters of 2009; with the third quarter dividend paid on November 2, 2009 at a rate of 0.41%.  As of March 8, 2010, the FHLB has not indicated on its web site any indication of paying a fourth quarter 2009 dividend.  Despite the FHLB’s temporary suspension of cash dividend payments and repurchases of excess capital stock in 2009, the Bank does not consider this investment to be other than temporarily impaired at December 31, 2009 and no impairment has been recognized.

Note 11.            Employee Benefit Plans

The Company offers a number of benefit plans to its employees.  Among them are a 401(k) plan and a defined benefit plan, which are described below:

401(k) Plan

The Company offers a 401(k) plan for the benefit of all employees who have attained the age of 18 and completed three months of continuous service.  The plan allows participating employees to contribute amounts up to the limits set by the Internal Revenue Service and permits the Company to make discretionary contributions to the plan in such amounts as the Board of Directors may determine to be appropriate.  The Company presently makes matching contributions equal to 50% of the first six percent of an employee’s compensation contributed to the plan.  Contributions made to the plan by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 were $81,940, $73,728, and $70,028, respectively.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering all employees who meet eligibility requirements.  To be eligible, an employee must be 20.5 years of age and have completed six months of eligibility service.  The plan provides benefits based on the participant’s years of service and five year average final compensation.  At a minimum, our funding policy is to make annual contributions as permitted or required by regulations.  For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company made a cash contribution totaling $100,000.  Contributions for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $253,411 and $224,155, respectively.

Long-Term Rate of Return

The plan sponsor selects the expected long-term rate-of-return-on-assets assumption in consultation with its investment advisors and actuary.  This rate is intended to reflect the average rate of earnings expected to be earned on the funds invested or to be invested to provide plan benefits.  Historical performance is reviewed, especially with respect to real rates of return (net of inflation), for the major asset classes held or anticipated to be held by the trust and for the trust itself.  Undue weight is not given to recent experience that may not continue over the measurement period with higher significance placed on current forecasts of future long-term economic conditions.

Because assets are held in a qualified trust, anticipated returns are not reduced for taxes.  Further, solely for this purpose, the plan is assumed to continue in force and not terminate during the period in which assets are invested.  However, consideration is given to the potential impact of current and future investment policy, cash flow into and out of the trust, and expenses (both investment and non-investment) typically paid from plan assets (to the extent such expenses are not explicitly estimated within periodic cost).

Asset Allocation

The pension plan’s weighted-average asset allocations as December 31, 2009 and 2008, by asset category are as follows:


 
2009
 
2008

The trust fund is sufficiently diversified to maintain a reasonable level of risk without imprudently sacrificing return with a targeted asset allocation of 50% fixed income and 50% equities.  The investment manager selects investment fund managers with demonstrated experience and expertise and funds with demonstrated historical performance for the implementation of the plan’s investment strategy.  The investment manager will consider both

Note 14.           Off-Balance Sheet Activities

The Company is a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit.  Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.  The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the following financial instruments were outstanding:


   
2009
   
2008
 
   
(In thousands)
 
             
Commitments to extend credit
  $ 23,375     $ 26,307  
Standby letters of credit
    632       867  


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.  The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon.  Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers.  These lines of credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements.  All letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  The Company generally holds collateral supporting these commitments, if deemed necessary.


Note 15.            Restrictions on Cash and Due From Banks

 
The Federal Reserve Bank requires banks to maintain cash reserves against certain categories of deposit liabilities.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the aggregate amount of daily average required reserves was approximately $146,000 and $198,000 respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007

Note 16.            Concentration of Credit Risk

 
The Company has a diversified loan portfolio consisting of commercial, real estate and consumer loans.  Substantially all of the Company’s customers are residents or operate business ventures in its market area consisting of Nottoway, Amelia, Prince Edward, Chesterfield and adjacent cities and counties.  Therefore, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts and the Company’s ability to realize the value of any underlying collateral, if needed, is influenced by the economic conditions in this market area.

The Company maintains a portion of its cash balances with its subsidiary and with its securities safekeeping correspondent, First Tennessee Bank, N.A.  These deposits are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation until December 31, 2009.  The Bank has several correspondent banking relationships that are principally related to services obtained from these correspondents.  The balances in these accounts are fully insured by the FDIC until December 31, 2009.  Management monitors the financial stability of its correspondents on a regular basis.


Note 17.
Restriction on Dividends

The Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends it may pay without prior regulatory approval.   The Bank normally restricts dividends to a lesser amount.   At December 31, 2009, retained earnings of approximately $4,795,386 were available for the payment of dividends without prior regulatory approval.

Note 18.            Minimum Regulatory 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 additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.  Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, that as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

 
As of December 31, 2009, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s categorization.

Note 19.            Fair Value Measurements and Interest Rate Risk

Current accounting pronouncements require disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments.  Fair value is generally defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly, non-distressed sale between market participants at the measurement date.  With the exception of certain marketable securities and one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans originated for sale, the Company’s financial instruments are not readily marketable and market prices do not exist.  The Company, in attempting to comply with accounting disclosure pronouncements, has not attempted to market its financial instruments to potential buyers, if any exist.  Since negotiated prices in illiquid markets depend upon the then present motivations of the buyer and seller, it is reasonable to assume that actual sales prices could vary widely from any estimate of fair value made without the benefit of negotiations.   Additionally, changes in market interest rates can dramatically impact the value of financial instruments in a short period of time.  Finally, the Company expects to retain substantially all assets and liabilities measured at fair value to their maturity or call date.   Accordingly, the fair values disclosed herein are unlikely to represent the instruments’ liquidation values, and do not, with the exception of securities, consider exit costs, since they cannot be reasonably estimated by us.

The Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments used the following methods and assumptions:

Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values.

Securities:  Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Restricted securities:  The carrying value of restricted stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the respective entity.

Loans:  For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  Fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential) and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.  Fair values for other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based upon interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Deposits:  The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts).  The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date.  Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Note 19.            Fair Value Measurements and Interest Rate Risk  (continued)


Borrowings:  The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and other short term borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values. Fair values for Federal Home
Loan Bank advances are estimated based upon current advance rates for the remaining term of the advance.

Accrued interest:  The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Off-balance-sheet instruments:  Fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the fair value of loan commitments and standby letters of credit was deemed to be immaterial.

The estimated fair values, and related carrying or notional amounts, of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

   Accrued interest payable
    955       955       1,154       1,154  


The Company assumes interest rate risk as part of its normal operations.  As a result, the fair values of the Company’s 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 possible 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 Company’s overall interest rate risk.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007

Note 19.            Fair Value Measurements and Interest Rate Risk  (continued)

Some of the financial instruments disclosed in the previous table are measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. Accounting principles establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

· Level 1              Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for similar assets andliabilities in active markets.

· Level 2              Inputs to the valuation methodology included quoted prices for similar assets andliabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability,either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

· Level 3              Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fairvalue measurement.

The following tables present the balances of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Note 19.            Fair Value Measurements and Interest Rate Risk  (continued)

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).

Accounting principles permit the measurement of certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. 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 table summarizes the Company’s assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period:

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:

Impaired Loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the

form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2).

However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other Real Estate Owned:  The fair values are estimated based upon recent appraisal values of the property less costs to sell the property. Certain inputs used in appraisals are not always observable, and therefore Other Real Estate Owned may be categorized as Level 3. When inputs in appraisals are observable, they are classified as Level 2.



Note 20.            Condensed Parent Company Financial Statements

The following parent company accounting policies should be read in conjunction with the related condensed balance sheets, statements of income, and statements of cash flows.

The investment in subsidiary is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.  The parent company and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return.  The subsidiary’s individual tax provision and liability are stated as if it filed a separate return and any benefits or detriments of filing the consolidated tax return are absorbed by the parent company.

The parent company’s principal asset is its investment in its wholly-owned subsidiary.  Dividends from the subsidiary and from the parent company’s investment portfolio are the sources of cash flow for the parent company.  The payment of dividends by the subsidiary is restricted by various statutory limitations.  Banking regulations also prohibit extensions of credit by the Bank to the parent company unless appropriately secured by assets.
