MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

Rex L. Smith, III, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We delivered solid earnings in the fourth quarter and continue to grow earnings while expanding the footprint of the franchise.  The results demonstrate the progress we made in realizing our strategic initiatives.  We continue to produce double digit loan growth, and it is distributed among the commercial, small business and real estate groups.  Commercial loans in particular now account for 15.5% of the total loan portfolio."

Smith added, "Our branching strategy has been successful as we continue to grow the franchise while increasing earnings.  In 2016, we opened two new branches in our Virginia market in Fairfax and Cumberland.  For 2017, we have new offices committed in the Short Pump area of Richmond and one in Lynchburg.  We also continue to look for growth and restructuring opportunities in Maryland as that part of the franchise has seen significant growth.  This expansion helps our noninterest bearing deposit growth, which was 34.0% for the year."

Smith concluded, "Our strategy has allowed us to create significant value in the past several years through a combination of strategic branching, diversified loan growth and a substantial change in the core deposit mix.  Because of the level of adjustable rate loans and our sources of funding, including the growth in noninterest bearing deposits, the Bank is well positioned for the rising rate environment we expect in the coming year.  We are pleased with the results of 2016 and look forward to continuing our positive trends in 2017."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income was $2.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared with linked quarter net income of $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2016 and year-over-year net income of $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.  Earnings per common share, basic and fully diluted, were $0.12 per share, $0.11 per share and $0.10 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2016, September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively.  For the year ended December 31, 2016, net income was $9.9 million, or $0.45 per common share, basic and fully diluted, compared with a net loss of $2.5 million, or ($0.11) per common share, for the year ended December 31, 2015.  

Net income in 2015 was affected by the third quarter termination of the Bank's FDIC shared-loss agreements in order to improve profitability beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015.  As part of the termination of the shared-loss agreements, the FDIC paid $3.1 million in cash to the Bank, and the remaining $13.1 million of the FDIC indemnification asset related to the agreements was charged off.  This transaction eliminated future indemnification asset amortization expense, which had totaled $5.2 million for the 12 month period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. 

Excluding the one-time charge of $13.1 million related to the termination of the FDIC shared-loss agreements, net income for 2015 would have been approximately $6.1 million, or $0.28 per common share.  In addition to the shared-loss termination charge, the Company had write-downs totaling $1.1 million with respect to two bank buildings held for sale and one parcel in other real estate owned in the third quarter of 2015. 

The following table presents summary income statements for the three months ended December 31, 2016, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
