Highlight of Business Operations:

The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Assets acquired totaled $1.4 billion, including $981.5 million in net loans and $218.7 million in investment securities. Liabilities assumed were $1.3 billion, including $1.2 billion of deposits. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $1.1 million of goodwill and $26.4 million of core deposit intangible. The core deposit intangible is being amortized over an average of 4.3 years using an accelerated method. In addition, the Company recorded $1.2 million related to a trademark intangible. This


On December 21, 2010, the Company announced it will acquire approximately $73.5 million of loans and assume approximately $59.3 million in deposits at book value through the acquisition of the Harrisonburg, Virginia branch of NewBridge Bank. The closing date is expected to be in the second quarter of 2011.


The Company reported net income of $6.2 million and earnings per share of $0.22 for its first quarter ended March 31, 2011. The quarterly results represent an increase of $1.8 million in net income and $0.07 in earnings per share from the prior year’s fourth quarter and an increase of $4.5 million in net income and a $0.16 increase in earnings per share from the quarter ended March 31, 2010.


The increase in quarterly net income from the prior year is largely a result of improvements in net interest income, the absence of prior year nonrecurring acquisition costs partially offset by increased provisions for loan losses. Comparative results to the first quarter of the prior year exclude FMB results for the month of January 2010. For the first quarter of 2011, net income available to common shareholders, which deducts dividends and discount accretion on preferred stock from net income, was $5.7 million compared to $1.3 million for the prior year’s first quarter.


On a linked quarter basis, tax-equivalent net interest income was $39.9 million, a decrease of $395,000, or 0.98%, from the fourth quarter of 2010. The linked quarter decrease was principally due to a greater decrease in earning asset volumes compared to interest-bearing liabilities. First quarter tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 13 basis points to 4.68% from 4.55% in the most recent quarter. The net interest margin increase was primarily the result of the increase of investment security yields and lower costs of interest-bearing deposits. Additionally, the funding mix continued to shift from higher cost certificates of deposit to lower cost money market accounts and checking accounts. The following table shows average interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, the related income/expense and change for the periods shown:


Total nonrecurring costs associated with the previously described and proposed NewBridge Bank branch acquisition were $294,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Costs to date principally include systems conversion and integrating operations, which were expensed as incurred. The costs are reported as a component of “Other operating expenses” within the Company’s “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.” Total acquisition costs are expected to be approximately $457,000 with no additional costs expected to be incurred after the second quarter of 2011.
