    The nature of securities which are temporarily impaired for a continuous 12 month period or more at June 30, 2008 can be segregated into three groups:
 
    The first group consists of two corporate bonds, rated A2 by Moody’s, have a total amortized cost of $2.0 million with a temporary loss of approximately $489,000. These bonds have an estimated maturity of 26 years, but can be called at par on the five year anniversary, which will occur in 2008 and 2009. If not called, the bonds reprice every three months at a fixed rate index above the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). These bonds are current, and the Company has the ability to hold these bonds to maturity.
 
    The second group consists of a Community Reinvestment Act qualified investment bond fund with a temporary loss of approximately $10,000. The fund is a relatively small segment of the portfolio and the Company plans to hold it indefinitely.
 
    The third group consists of a temporary loss of approximately $8,000 on 10,000 shares of Freddie Mac preferred stock. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Bank recognized a permanent impairment of $125,000 on the Freddie Mac preferred stock, and will be continually monitoring its valuation of the preferred stock as more information becomes available.
 
    The carrying value of securities pledged to secure deposits and for other purposes amounted to $18,909,148 and $13,565,758 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

    Total loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $9,000, $770,000, and $1,000 on June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007, respectively. At March 31, 2008, there were two loans to one borrower totaling $2.0 million which were 90 days past due and still accruing interest. At that time the Bank had reason to believe that the loans would be sold, and the proceeds from the sale to be adequate to repay outstanding principal and interest. Due to various issues, including the filing of personal bankruptcy by the borrower, the sale was further delayed, and subsequently canceled. As of June 30, 2008, the $2.0 million has been added to nonaccrual loans with all uncollected interest and fees, totaling approximately $62,000, reversed against loan income.
 
    The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” as amended by FASB Statement No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures.” FASB Statement No. 114, as amended, requires that the impairment of loans that have been separately identified for evaluation is to be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows or, alternatively, the observable market price of the loans or the fair value of the collateral. However, for those loans that are collateral dependent (that is, if repayment of those loans is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral) and for which management has determined foreclosure is probable, the measure of impairment is to be based on the net realizable value of the collateral. FASB Statement No. 114, as amended, also requires certain disclosures about investments in impaired loans and the allowance for loan losses and interest income recognized on loans.
 
    A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors involved in determining impairment include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, financial condition of the borrower, and the current economic conditions. A performing loan may be considered impaired if the factors above indicate a need for impairment. A loan on non-accrual status may not be impaired if it is in the process of collection or if the shortfall in payment is insignificant. A delay of less than 30 days or a shortfall of less than 5% of the required principal and interest payments generally is considered “insignificant” and would not indicate an impairment situation, if in management’s judgment the loan will be paid in full. Loans that meet the regulatory definitions of doubtful or loss generally qualify as impaired loans under FASB Statement No. 114. As is the

9


 

    case for all loans, charge-offs for impaired loans occur when the loan or portion of the loan is determined to be uncollectible.
Note 5. Company-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Securities
    On March 26, 2002, the Company established a subsidiary trust that issued $4.0 million of capital securities as part of a pooled trust preferred security offering with other financial institutions (“Trust I”). The Company used the offering proceeds for the purposes of expansion and the repurchase of additional shares of its common stock. The interest rate on the capital security resets every three months at 3.60% above the then current three month LIBOR. Interest is paid quarterly. Under applicable regulatory guidelines, the capital securities are treated as Tier 1 capital for purposes of the Federal Reserve’s capital guidelines for bank holding companies, as long as the capital securities and all other cumulative preferred securities of the Company together do not exceed 25% of Tier 1 capital.
 
    On September 21, 2006, the Company’s wholly-owned Connecticut statutory business trust privately issued $4 million face amount of the trust’s Floating Rate Capital Securities in a pooled capital securities offering (“Trust II”). Simultaneously, the trust used the proceeds of that sale to purchase $4.0 million principal amount of the Company’s Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due 2036. The interest rate on the capital security resets every three months at 1.70% above the then current three month LIBOR. Interest is paid quarterly.
 
    The purpose of the September 2006 Trust II issuance was to use the proceeds to redeem the existing capital securities of Trust I on March 26, 2007. Because of changes in the market pricing of capital securities from 2002 to 2006, the September 2006 issuance was priced 190 basis points less than that of the March 2002 issuance, and the repayment of the March 2002 issuance in March 2007 reduced the interest expense associated with the distribution on capital securities of subsidiary trust by $76,000 annually. The Company redeemed all the existing capital securities issued by Trust I on March 26, 2007.
 
    Total capital securities at June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $4,124,000 for both respective dates. The Trust II issuance of capital securities and the respective subordinated debentures are callable at any time after five years from the issue date. The subordinated debentures are an unsecured obligation of the Company and are junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company. The capital securities are guaranteed by the Company on a subordinated basis.

Note 7. Stock-Based Compensation
    The Company has a stock-based compensation plan. Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires that the Company recognize expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards in net income.
 
    The nonvested shares are accounted for using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the restricted shares were awarded. The restricted shares issued to executive officers and directors are subject to a vesting period over the next three years. Compensation expense for nonvested shares amounted to $63,041 and $64,545 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Compensation expense for nonvested shares amounted to $125,671 and $127,140 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
    The Company did not grant options during the three months or six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

GENERAL
Fauquier Bankshares, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on January 13, 1984. The Company is a registered bank holding company and owns all of the voting shares of The Fauquier Bank (“the Bank”). The Company engages in its business through the Bank, a Virginia state-chartered bank that commenced operations in 1902. The Company has no significant operations other than owning the stock of the Bank. The Company had issued and outstanding 3,569,325 shares of common stock, par value $3.13 per share, held by approximately 432 holders of record on June 30, 2008. The Bank has eight full service branch offices located in the Virginia communities of Warrenton, Catlett, The Plains, Sudley Road-Manassas, Old Town-Manassas, New Baltimore and Bealeton. The executive offices of the Company and the main office of the Bank are located at 10 Courthouse Square, Warrenton, Virginia 20186. The Bank has leased properties in Haymarket, Virginia and Bristow, Virginia, where it plans to build its ninth and tenth full-service branch offices, respectively, scheduled to open during 2009.
The Bank’s general market area principally includes Fauquier County, western Prince William County, and neighboring communities and is located approximately fifty (50) miles southwest of Washington, D.C.
The Bank provides a range of consumer and commercial banking services to individuals, businesses and industries. The deposits of the Bank are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The basic services offered by the Bank include: demand interest bearing and non-interest bearing accounts, money market deposit accounts, NOW accounts, time deposits, safe deposit services, credit cards, cash management, direct deposits, notary services, night depository, prepaid debit cards, cashier’s checks, domestic collections, savings bonds, automated teller services, drive-in tellers, internet banking, telephone banking, and banking by mail. In addition, the Bank makes secured and unsecured commercial and real estate loans, issues stand-by letters of credit and grants available credit for installment, unsecured and secured personal loans, residential mortgages and home equity loans, as well as automobile and other types of consumer financing. The Bank provides

14


 

automated teller machine (“ATM”) cards, as a part of the Star, NYCE, and Plus ATM networks, thereby permitting customers to utilize the convenience of larger ATM networks.
The Bank operates a Wealth Management Services (“WMS” or “Wealth Management”) division that began with the granting of trust powers to the Bank in 1919. The WMS division provides personalized services that include investment management, trust, estate settlement, retirement, insurance, and brokerage services.
The Bank, through its subsidiary Fauquier Bank Services, Inc., has equity ownership interests in Bankers Insurance, LLC, a Virginia independent insurance company; Infinex Investments, Inc., a full service broker/dealer; and Bankers Title Shenandoah, LLC, a title insurance company. Bankers Insurance consists of a consortium of 37 Virginia community bank owners; Infinex is owned by 55 banks in various states; and Bankers Title Shenandoah is owned by 17 Virginia community banks. On April 30, 2008, the Bank’s ownership of stock in BI Investments, LLC was exchanged for Infinex stock as part of a merger.
The revenues of the Bank are primarily derived from interest on, and fees received in connection with, real estate and other loans, and from interest and dividends from investment and mortgage-backed securities, and short-term investments. The principal sources of funds for the Bank’s lending activities are its deposits, repayment of loans, the sale and maturity of investment securities, and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Atlanta. Additional revenues are derived from fees for deposit-related and WMS-related services. The Bank’s principal expenses are the interest paid on deposits and operating and general administrative expenses.
As is the case with banking institutions generally, the Bank’s operations are materially and significantly influenced by general economic conditions and by related monetary and fiscal policies of financial institution regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”). As a Virginia-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve, the Bank is supervised and examined by the Federal Reserve and the Virginia State Corporation Commission. Interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest influence deposit flows and costs of funds. Lending activities are affected by the demand for financing of real estate and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such financing may be offered and other factors affecting local demand and availability of funds. The Bank faces strong competition in the attraction of deposits (its primary source of lendable funds) and in the origination of loans. Please see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had total consolidated assets of $503.0 million, total loans net of allowance for loan losses of $425.1 million, total consolidated deposits of $388.2 million, and total consolidated shareholders’ equity of $41.8 million.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GENERAL. The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use in our estimates. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable accounting method to another method. Although the economics of the Company’s transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact the Company’s transactions could change.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on three basic principles of accounting: (i) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable, (ii) SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance and (iii) SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 102, “Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues,” which requires adequate documentation to support the allowance for loan losses estimate.

15


 

The Company’s allowance for loan losses has two basic components: the specific allowance and the general allowance. Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur. The specific allowance is used to individually allocate an allowance for larger balance, non-homogeneous loans. The specific allowance uses various techniques to arrive at an estimate of loss. First, analysis of the borrower’s overall financial condition, resources and payment record, the prospects for support from financial guarantors, and the fair market value of collateral are used to estimate the probability and severity of inherent losses. Then the migration of historical default rates and loss severities, internal risk ratings, industry and market conditions and trends, and other environmental factors are considered. The use of these values is inherently subjective and our actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates. The general allowance is used for estimating the loss on pools of smaller-balance, homogeneous loans; including 1-4 family mortgage loans, installment loans, other consumer loans, and outstanding loan commitments. Also, the general allowance is used for the remaining pool of larger balance, non-homogeneous loans which were not allocated a specific allowance upon their review. The general allowance begins with estimates of probable losses inherent in the homogeneous portfolio based upon various statistical analyses. These include analysis of historical and peer group delinquency and credit loss experience, together with analyses that reflect current trends and conditions. The Company also considers trends and changes in the volume and term of loans, changes in the credit process and/or lending policies and procedures, and an evaluation of overall credit quality. The general allowance uses a historical loss view as an indicator of future losses. As a result, even though this history is regularly updated with the most recent loss information, it could differ from the loss incurred in the future. The general allowance also captures losses that are attributable to various economic events, industry or geographic sectors whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized in the specific allowances.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
This discussion is intended to focus on certain financial information regarding the Company and the Bank and may not contain all the information that is important to the reader. The purpose of this discussion is to provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of our financial statements. As such, this discussion should be read carefully in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained elsewhere in this report.
The Bank is the primary independent community bank in its immediate market area as measured by deposit market share. It seeks to be the primary financial service provider for its market area by providing the right mix of consistently high quality customer service, efficient technological support, value-added products, and a strong commitment to the community. The Company and the Bank’s primary operating businesses are in commercial and retail lending, deposit accounts and core deposits, and assets under WMS management.
Net income of $942,000 for the second quarter of 2008 was a 26.3% decrease from the net income for the second quarter of 2007 of $1.28 million. Loans, net of reserve, totaling $425.1 million at June 30, 2008, increased 3.9% when compared with December 31, 2007, and increased 4.9% when compared with June 30, 2007. Deposits decreased 4.0% compared with year-end 2007, and decreased 5.3% when compared with June 30, 2007. Assets under WMS management, totaling $288.2 million at June 30, 2008, declined 4.8% from $302.8 million at June 30, 2007.
Net interest income is the largest component of net income, and equals the difference between income generated on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Future trends regarding net interest income are dependent on the absolute level of market interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, the amount of lost income from non-performing assets, the amount of prepaying loans, the mix and amount of various deposit types, and many other factors, as well as the overall volume of interest-earning assets. These factors are individually difficult to predict, and when taken together, the uncertainty of future trends compounds. Based on management’s current projections, net interest income may increase in 2008 and beyond as average interest-earning assets increase, but this may be offset in part or in whole by a possible contraction in the Bank’s net interest margin resulting from competitive market conditions and a flat or inverted yield curve. A steeper yield curve is projected to result in an increase in net interest income, while a flatter or inverted yield curve is projected to result in a decrease in net interest income. The specific nature of the Bank’s variability in net interest income due to changes in interest rates, also known as interest rate risk, is to a large degree the result of the Bank’s deposit base structure.

16


 

The Bank’s non-performing assets totaled $3.0 million or 0.70% of total loans at June 30, 2008, as compared with $2.1 million or 0.51% of total loans at December 31, 2007, and $1.01 million or 0.25% of total loans at June 30, 2007. The provision for loan losses was $834,000 for the second quarter of 2008 compared with $120,000 for the second quarter of 2007. Loan chargeoffs, net of recoveries, totaled $711,000 or 0.17% of total loans for the second quarter of 2008, compared with $231,000 or 0.06% of total loans for the second quarter of 2007. The $714,000 increase in the provision for loan losses from second quarter 2007 to second quarter 2008 was largely in response to the increase in net loans charged off.
Management seeks to continue the expansion of its branch network. The Bank has leased properties in Haymarket, Virginia and Bristow, Virginia, where it plans to build its ninth and tenth full-service branch offices, respectively, both scheduled to open in 2009. The Bank is looking toward these new retail markets for growth in deposits and WMS income. Management seeks to increase the level of its fee income from deposits and WMS through the increase of its market share within its marketplace.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND JUNE 30, 2007
NET INCOME
Net income was $942,000 for the second quarter of 2008, a 26.3% decrease from the second quarter of 2007 net income of $1.28 million. Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis were $0.26 in 2008 compared to $0.36 in 2007. Profitability as measured by return on average equity decreased from 12.65% in the second quarter of 2007 to 8.80% for the same period in 2008. Profitability as measured by return on average assets decreased from 1.05% to 0.76% over the same respective quarters in 2007 and 2008. The decline in net income and the corresponding profitability measures was primarily due to the increase in the provision for loan losses of $714,000 in the second quarter of 2008 compared with the second quarter of 2007.
NET INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
Net interest income increased $166,000 or 3.5% to $4.87 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from $4.70 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The increase in net interest income was due to the Company’s net interest margin increasing from 4.12% in the second quarter of 2007 to 4.22% in the second quarter of 2008, primarily due to the positively sloped yield curve during the second quarter of 2008 compared with the flat and inverted yield curve during the second quarter of 2007. (A positively sloped yield curve is where the interest rate on longer-termed financial instruments exceeds the interest rate on shorter-termed financial instruments, all other factors being equal, while with an inverted yield curve, shorter-termed financial instruments have higher interest rates than longer-termed financial instruments.) The benefit of the positively sloped yield curve was partially offset by competitive pricing pressures. In addition, net interest income increased due to the impact of total average earning assets increasing from $454.3 million during the second quarter of 2007 to $462.4 million during the second quarter of 2008. The percentage of average earning assets to total assets decreased to 92.5% for the second quarter of 2008 from 93.0% for the second quarter of 2007.
The net interest margin pressure caused by the economic environment of a flat and inverted yield curve proved to be challenging for the Bank during much of 2007. At June 30, 2004, just as the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (the “FMOC”) began raising the federal funds rate, the yield on a three month maturity treasury bond was 1.37% or 253 basis points below the 3.90% yield on a five year treasury and 332 basis points below the 4.69% yield on a 10 year treasury. At October 30, 2006, that yield had inverted to the point that a three month treasury was yielding 5.12%, while the five year and ten year treasury were yielding 4.74% and 4.77%, respectively. The yield curve changed from a more than 250 basis point premium for a longer investment to a position where there is no premium or, in fact, a discount. This presented funding and interest margin management pressures, as a flat or inverted yield curve significantly increased competition for deposits and their cost. While deposit costs rapidly increased, the lack of a similar movement in longer-term rates limited the yield increase on fixed rate loans.
The economic environment changed direction during the fourth quarter of 2007, when the FMOC began lowering the federal funds rate, and the shape of the yield curve became less flat and more positively sloped. Through June 30, 2008, the FMOC has continued the reduction of the federal funds rate. At June 30, 2008, the yield on a three

17


 

month maturity treasury security was 1.90% or 144 basis points below the 3.34% yield on a five year treasury and 209 basis points below the 3.99% yield on a 10 year treasury. As a result, the Company’s net interest margin improved from 4.12% for the second quarter of 2007 to 4.16% for the fourth quarter of 2007, and 4.22% for the second quarter of 2008.
Total interest income decreased $684,000 or 8.8% to $7.06 million for the second quarter of 2008 from $7.75 million for the second quarter of 2007. This decrease was primarily due to the 68 basis point decrease in the yield on average assets from second quarter 2007 to second quarter 2008. This was partially offset by the increase total average earning assets of $8.1 million or 1.8%.
The average yield on loans decreased to 6.23% for the second quarter of 2008 compared with 6.98% for the second quarter of 2007. Average loan balances increased 2.3% from $413.1 million during the second quarter of 2007 to $422.5 million during the second quarter of 2008. Together, this resulted in a $643,000 or 8.9% decrease in interest and fee income from loans for the second quarter of 2008 compared with the same period in 2007.
Average investment security balances increased $353,000 from $38.2 million in the second quarter of 2007 to $38.6 million in the second quarter of 2008. The tax-equivalent average yield on investments increased from 5.03% for the second quarter of 2007 to 5.11% for the second quarter of 2008. Together, there was a decrease in interest and dividend income on security investments of $10,000 or 2.2%, from $472,000 for the second quarter of 2007 to $462,000 for the second quarter of 2008. Interest income on federal funds sold decreased $19,000 from the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008, reflecting a decline in the average yield from 5.07% to 3.21%.
Total interest expense decreased $850,000 or 27.9% from $3.04 million for the second quarter of 2007 to $2.19 million for the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to the overall decline in shorter-term market interest rates. Interest paid on deposits decreased $893,000 or 35.1% from $2.54 million for the second quarter of 2007 to $1.65 million for the second quarter of 2008. Average Premium money market account balances increased $1.2 million from second quarter 2007 to second quarter 2008, while their average rate decreased from 4.15% to 2.10% over the same period resulting in a decrease of $352,000 of interest expense for the second quarter of 2008. Average time deposit balances decreased $24.1 million from second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008 while the average rate on time deposits decreased from 4.53% to 3.66% resulting in a decrease of $505,000 in interest expense for the second quarter of 2008. Average NOW deposit balances increased $17.7 million from the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008 while the average rate on NOW accounts decreased from 1.27% to 0.89% resulting in a reduction of $29,000 in NOW interest expense for the second quarter of 2008.
Interest expense on federal funds purchased decreased $22,000 for the second quarter of 2008 when compared to the second quarter of 2007 due to the $1.2 million increase in average federal funds purchased and the decline in the average fed funds rate from 5.63% to 2.45%. Interest expense on FHLB of Atlanta advances increased $90,000 from the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008 due to the increase in average FHLB advance balances of $24.4 million, partially offset by the decrease in the average rate paid on FHLB advances from 5.26% to 3.51%. The average rate on total interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 3.32% for the second quarter of 2007 to 2.29% for the second quarter of 2008.
The following table sets forth information relating to the Company’s average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated and the average yields and rates paid for the periods indicated. These yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balances of assets and liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS
The following table sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense of the Company for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability, information is provided on changes attributable to changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by old rate); and changes in rates (change in rate multiplied by old volume). Changes in rate-volume, which cannot be separately identified, are allocated proportionately between changes in rate and changes in volume.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES, ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES, AND ASSET QUALITY
The provision for loan losses was $834,000 for the second quarter of 2008, compared with $120,000 for the second quarter of 2007. The amount of the provision for loan loss was based upon management’s continual evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which encompasses the overall risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, trends in the Bank’s delinquent and non-performing loans, estimated values of collateral, and the impact of economic conditions on borrowers. Greater weight is given to the loss history by loan category, prolonged changes in portfolio delinquency trends by loan category, and changes in economic trends. There can be no assurances, however, that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts, or that increased amounts of provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods.
The $714,000 increase in the provision for loan losses during the second quarter 2008, compared to the same quarter one year earlier, was largely in response to the amount of net loan chargeoffs during the same quarter. Loan chargeoffs, net of recoveries, totaled $711,000 or 0.17% of total loans for the second quarter of 2008, compared with $231,000 or 0.06% of total loans for the second quarter of 2007.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Total non-interest income increased by $138,000 from $1.51 million for the second quarter of 2007 to $1.65 million in the second quarter of 2008. Non-interest income is derived primarily from non-interest fee income, which consists primarily of fiduciary and other Wealth Management fees, service charges on deposit accounts, and other fee income. This increase stemmed primarily from revenues related to the continued growth of the Bank’s deposit base and retail banking activities, as well as a $217,000 gain due to the Bank’s ownership interest in Infinex, a full service broker/dealer. On April 30, 2008, Infinex merged with Bankers Investments Group, LLC. As part of the merger, equity was infused by new participants, which in turn, recapitalized the Bank’s existing ownership position.
Wealth Management income decreased $23,000 or 6.4% from second quarter 2007 to second quarter 2008, as assets under management declined from year to year, in part due to the decline in overall stock market valuations. Service

charges on deposit accounts increased $33,000 or 4.7% to $751,000 for the second three months of 2008, compared with $718,000 for the same period in 2007 due to the increase in the number of transaction accounts generating fee income. Other service charges, commissions and fees increased $223,000 or 50.6% from $441,000 in second quarter 2007 to $664,000 in second quarter 2008 primarily due to the recognition of the net gain in the value of the Bank’s partial ownership in four different entities (Bankers Insurance, LLC; Infinex Investments, Inc.; Bankers Title Shenandoah, LLC; and the Housing Equity Fund of Virginia IX, LLC) totaling $157,000, including the Infinex gain of $217,000. Gains of this magnitude from these entities in the future are not projected at this time. Also included in other service charges, commissions, and income is Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI’) income, which was $94,000 during the second quarter of 2008 compared with $90,000 one year earlier. Total BOLI was $10.2 million at June 30, 2008, compared with $9.8 million one year earlier.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Bank recognized a permanent impairment of $125,000 on its investment in Freddie Mac preferred stock. In addition during the same quarter, the Bank took possession of a real estate property used as collateral on a previously non-performing loan, and sold the property at $29,000 above its book value.
Management seeks to increase the level of its future fee income from wealth management services and deposits through the increase of its market share within its marketplace. Wealth Management fees are projected to grow at a pace closer to the 3% to 5% growth seen in 2007, rather than the 1% growth seen in 2006 and the decline in growth for the first half of 2008. Fees from deposits are projected to continue to grow at a 4% to 7% rate, which reflects the projected growth for retail (non-commercial) core deposits.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Total non-interest expense increased $130,000 or 3.1% during the second quarter of 2008 compared with the second quarter of 2007. Salaries and employees’ benefits decreased $14,000, or 0.6%, primarily due to decreases in defined benefit pension plan expenses, partially offset by the customary annual salary increases. Active full-time equivalent personnel totaled 145 at June 30, 2008 compared with 148 at June 30, 2007.
On December 20, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) approved the termination of the defined benefit pension plan effective on December 31, 2009, and effective January 1, 2010 the Board approved to replace the defined benefit pension plan with an enhanced 401(k) plan. Defined benefit pension plan expenses are projected to decrease from $636,000 in 2007 to approximately $150,000 in 2008 and nothing in 2009 and going forward. Expenses for the 401(k) plan are projected to increase from $134,000 in 2007 to approximately $140,000 in 2008 and 2009, and approximately $625,000 in 2010. Growth in 401(k) after 2010 is projected to increase approximately at the same rate of increase as salaries.
The Bank expects personnel costs, consisting primarily of salary and benefits, to continue to be its largest other expense. As such, the most important factor with regard to potential changes in other expenses is the expansion of staff. The cost of any additional staff expansion, however, would be expected to be offset by the increased revenue generated by the additional services that the new staff would enable the Bank to perform. For the remainder of 2008, the Company projects the increase of approximately three new full-time equivalent positions in addition to filling four currently vacant positions. These new positions are planned in commercial lending and technology systems support. In 2009, the Company will increase full-time equivalent personnel in order to staff two new branch offices in Haymarket and Bristow.
Net occupancy expense increased $83,000 or 31.2%, and furniture and equipment expense decreased $11,000 or 3.7%, from second quarter 2007 to second quarter 2008. The increase in occupancy expense primarily reflects increased maintenance and repair expenses as well as increased rent expense due to the newly-leased View Tree branch. The decrease in furniture and equipment expenses primarily reflects the decrease in computer software depreciation expense.
Marketing expense decreased $6,000 or 3.6% from $162,000 for the second quarter of 2007 to $156,000 for the second quarter of 2008. These expenses primarily reflect the continuation of direct mail campaigns targeting both individual households and small businesses.

21


 

Consulting expense, which includes legal and accounting professional fees, increased $67,000 or 34.4% in the second quarter of 2008 compared with the second quarter of 2007. This increase primarily reflects the use of information technology consultants assisting the Bank with its technology planning and contract negotiations as well as increased legal fees associated with impaired loans and real estate owned.
Data processing expense increased $17,000 or 5.4% for the second quarter of 2008 compared with the same time period in 2007. The Bank outsources much of its data processing to a third-party vendor. The increase in expense primarily reflects increased deposit transactions and other data processing system usage by the Bank.
Other operating expenses decreased $5,000 or 0.6% in second quarter 2008 compared with second quarter 2007.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense was $346,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared with $551,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The effective tax rates were 26.9% and 30.1% for the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% due to the Bank’s investment in tax-exempt loans and securities, and income from the BOLI purchases.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND JUNE 30, 2007
NET INCOME
Net income was $1.95 million for the first six months of 2008, a 20.3% decrease from the first six months of 2007 net income of $2.45 million. Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis were $0.55 in 2008 compared to $0.69 in 2007. Profitability as measured by return on average equity decreased from 1.00% in the first six months of 2007 to 0.79% for the same period in 2008. Profitability as measured by return on average assets decreased from 12.34% to 9.14% over the same respective six month periods in 2007 and 2008. The decline in net income and the corresponding profitability measures was primarily due to the increase in the provision for loan losses of $1.05 million in the first six months of 2008 compared with the first six months of 2007.
NET INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
Net interest income increased $281,000 or 3.0% to $9.56 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $9.28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in net interest income was due to the Company’s net interest margin increasing from 4.04% in the six months of 2007 to 4.18% in the first six months of 2008, primarily due to the positively sloped yield curve during the first six months of 2008 compared with the flat and inverted yield curve during the first six months of 2007.
Total interest income decreased $1.17 million or 7.6% to $14.34 million for the first six months of 2008 from $15.51 million for the first six months of 2007. This decrease was primarily due to the 48 basis point decrease in the yield on average assets from first six months of 2007 to first six months of 2008, as well as the decrease in total average earning assets of $2.1 million or 0.5%.
The average yield on loans decreased to 6.42% for the first six months of 2008 compared with 6.97% for the first six months of 2007. Average loan balances decreased 0.2% from $417.2 million during the first six months of 2007 to $416.5 million during the first six months of 2008. Together, this resulted in a $1.12 million or 7.7% decrease in interest and fee income from loans for the first six months of 2008 compared with the same period in 2007.
Average investment security balances decreased $781,000 from $38.8 million in the first six months of 2007 to $38.0 million in the first six months of 2008. The tax-equivalent average yield on investments increased from 4.76% for the first six months of 2007 to 5.06% for the first six months of 2008. Together, there was an decrease in interest and dividend income on security investments of $7,000 or 0.8%, from $908,000 for the first six months of 2007 to $901,000 for the first six months of 2008. Interest income on federal funds sold decreased $33,000 from the first six months of 2007 to the first six months of 2008, reflecting a decline in the average yield from 5.10% to 2.71%.

22


 

Total interest expense decreased $1.45 million or 23.3% from $6.23 million for the first six months of 2007 to $4.78 million for the first six months of 2008 primarily due to the overall decline in shorter-term market interest rates. Interest paid on deposits decreased $1.24 million or 24.9% from $4.96 million for the first six months of 2007 to $3.72 million for the first six months of 2008. Average Premium money market account balances increased $8.8 million from the first six months of 2007 to $72.9 million for the first six months 2008, while their average rate decreased from 4.09% to 2.52% over the same period resulting in a decrease of $386,000 of interest expense for the first six months of 2008. Average time deposit balances decreased $23.8 million from first six months of 2007 to the same period of 2008 while the average rate on time deposits decreased from 4.54% to 3.90% resulting in a decrease of $872,000 in interest expense for the first six months of 2008. Average NOW deposit balances increased $16.4 million from the first six months of 2007 to the first six months of 2008 while the average rate on NOW accounts decreased from 1.21% to 1.08% resulting in an additional $40,000 of interest expense for the first six months of 2008.
Interest expense on federal funds purchased decreased $75,000 for the first six months of 2008 when compared to the first six months of 2007 due to the $970,000 decrease in average federal funds purchased and the decline in the average fed funds rate from 5.62% to 3.19%. Interest expense on FHLB of Atlanta advances decreased $23,000 from the first six months of 2007 to the first six months of 2008 due to the decrease in the average rate paid on FHLB advances from 5.16% to 3.73%, mostly offset by the increase in average FHLB advance balances of $12.6 million over the same period. The average rate on total interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 3.35% for the first six months of 2007 to 2.53% for the first six months of 2008.
The following table sets forth information relating to the Company’s average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated and the average yields and rates paid for the periods indicated. These yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balances of assets and liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS
The following table sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense of the Company for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability, information is provided on changes attributable to changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by old rate); and changes in rates (change in rate multiplied by old volume). Changes in rate-volume, which cannot be separately identified, are allocated proportionately between changes in rate and changes in volume.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES, ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES, AND ASSET QUALITY
The provision for loan losses was $1.29 million for the first six months of 2008, compared with $240,000 for the first six months of 2007. The amount of the provision for loan loss was based upon management’s continual evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which encompasses the overall risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, trends in the Bank’s delinquent and non-performing loans, estimated values of collateral, and the impact of economic conditions on borrowers. Greater weight is given to the loss history by loan category, prolonged changes in portfolio delinquency trends by loan category, and changes in economic trends. There can be no assurances, however, that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts, or that increased amounts of provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods.
The increase in the provision for loan losses during the first six months 2008 was largely in response to the amount of net loan chargeoffs during the same period. Loan chargeoffs, net of recoveries, totaled $1.16 million or 0.28% of total loans for the first six months of 2008, compared with $303,000 or 0.07% of total loans for the first six months of 2007.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Total non-interest income increased by $283,000 from $2.94 million for the first six months of 2007 to $3.22 million for the first six months of 2008. Non-interest income is derived primarily from non-interest fee income, which consists primarily of fiduciary and other Wealth Management fees, service charges on deposit accounts, and other fee income. This increase stemmed primarily from revenues related to the continued growth of the Bank’s deposit base and retail banking activities.
Wealth Management income decreased $18,000 or 2.6% from the first six months of 2007 to the first six months of 2008, as assets under management remained relatively stable from year to year. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $83,000 or 6.0% to $1.46 million for the first six months of 2008, compared with $1.38 million for the same period in 2007 due to the increase in the number of transaction accounts generating fee income. Other service

25


 

charges, commissions and fees increased $228,000 or 26.4% from $865,000 during the first six months of 2007 to $1.09 million in the first six months of 2008 primarily due to the recognition of the net gain in the value of the Bank’s partial ownership in four different entities as previously discussed. Also included in other service charges, commissions, and income is BOLI income, which was $188,000 during the first six months of 2008 compared with $177,000 one year earlier.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Bank had gross realized gains from sales of three securities available for sale of $88,000, in addition to the previously discussed impairment loss of $125,000 on the Freddie Mac preferred stock. The proceeds from the sale of the three securities, including the realized gain, amounted to $9.1 million. Two of the securities, totaling approximately $7.0 million, had a remaining maturity of less than seven months, while the third security, totaling $2.0 million, had a remaining maturity of 18 months. The proceeds of the sale were redeployed into securities with an average assumed life of approximately five years. There were no securities sold in the second quarter of 2008 and for all of 2007. Management does not project any further gains or losses on the sale of securities at this time.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Total non-interest expense increased $337,000 or 4.0% during the first six months of 2008 compared with the first six months of 2007.
Salaries and employees’ benefits decreased $34,000, or 0.7%, primarily due to decreases in defined benefit pension plan expenses, partially offset by the customary annual salary increases.
Net occupancy expense increased $97,000 or 18.2%, and furniture and equipment expense decreased $12,000 or 2.1%, from the first six months 2007 to the first six months of 2008. The increase in occupancy expense primarily reflects increased maintenance and repair expenses as well as rent expense for the View Tree property. The decrease in furniture and equipment expenses primarily reflects the decrease in computer software depreciation expense.
Marketing expense increased $44,000 or 15.4% from $282,000 for the first six months of 2007 to $326,000 for the first six months of 2008. This increase primarily reflects in implementation of direct mail campaign targeting small businesses.
Consulting expense, which includes legal and accounting professional fees, increased $107,000 or 24.8% for the first six months of 2008 compared with the first six months of 2007. This increase primarily reflects the use of information technology consultants assisting the Bank with its technology planning and contract negotiations, as well as increased legal fees associated with impaired loans.
Data processing expense increased $50,000 or 8.1% for the first six months of 2008 compared with the same time period in 2007. The Bank outsources much of its data processing to a third-party vendor. The increase in expense primarily reflects increased deposit transactions and other data processing system usage by the Bank.
Other operating expenses increased $81,000 or 6.0% in first six months of 2008 compared with first six months of 2007. This primarily reflects increases in non-loan chargeoffs and contributions to community organizations.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense was $745,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared with $1.07 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The effective tax rates were 27.6% and 30.3% for the first six months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% due to the Bank’s investment in tax-exempt loans and securities, and income from the BOLI purchases.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2008 AND DECEMBER 31, 2007
Total assets were $503.0 million at June 30, 2008 compared with $489.9 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of 2.7% or $13.1 million. Balance sheet categories reflecting significant changes included cash and due from banks, total loans, bank premises and equipment, deposits, FHLB advances, and company-obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities. Each of these categories is discussed below.

26


 

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS. Cash and due from banks was $11.7 million at June 30, 2008, reflecting a decrease of $5.0 million from December 31, 2007. The decrease in cash and due from banks was primarily due to the decline in cash held at the Federal Reserve. The higher balance at December 31, 2007 was in order to satisfy reserve requirements.
LOANS. Total loans after allowance for loan losses was $425.1 million at June 30, 2008, which represents an increase of $16.0 million or 3.9% from $409.1 million at December 31, 2007. The Bank continually modifies its loan pricing strategies and expands its loan product offerings in an effort to increase lending activity without sacrificing the existing credit quality standards.
BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT, NET. Total bank premises and equipment, net, increased $1.3 million primarily due to purchase of land along Business Route 29 in Warrenton, VA for the purpose of relocating its ViewTree Warrenton branch office.
DEPOSITS. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, total deposits declined by $16.3 million or 4.0% when compared with total deposits at December 31, 2007. Non-interest-bearing deposits decreased by $5.7 million and interest-bearing deposits decreased by $10.7 million. Included in interest-bearing deposits at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $7.8 million and $9.3 million, respectively of brokered deposits. The decline in the Bank’s non-interest-bearing deposits and interest-bearing deposits during the first six months of 2008 was the result of many factors difficult to segregate and quantify, and equally difficult to use as factors for future projections. The economy, local competition, retail customer preferences, changes in seasonal cash flows by both commercial and retail customers, changes in business cash management practices by Bank customers, the relative pricing from wholesale funding sources, and the Bank’s funding needs all contributed to the change in deposit balances. The Bank projects to increase its transaction accounts and other deposits in 2008 and beyond through the expansion of its branch network, as well as by offering value-added NOW and demand deposit products, and selective rate premiums on its interest-bearing deposits.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES. FHLB advances increased by $30.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008, to offset the decline in deposit balances.
COMPANY-OBLIGATED MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE CAPITAL SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY TRUST (“capital securities”). On March 26, 2002, the Company established a subsidiary trust that issued $4.0 million of capital securities as part of a pooled trust preferred security offering with other financial institutions. The Company used the offering proceeds for the purposes of expansion and the repurchase of additional shares of its common stock. Under applicable regulatory guidelines, the capital securities are treated as Tier 1 capital for purposes of the Federal Reserve’s capital guidelines for bank holding companies, as long as the capital securities and all other cumulative preferred securities of the Company together do not exceed 25% of Tier 1 capital.
On September 21, 2006, the Company’s wholly-owned Connecticut statutory business trust privately issued $4.0 million face amount of the trust’s Floating Rate Capital Securities in a pooled capital securities offering. Simultaneously, the trust used the proceeds of that sale to purchase $4.0 million principal amount of the Company’s Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due 2036. Both the capital securities and the subordinated debentures are callable at any time after five years from the issue date. The subordinated debentures are an unsecured obligation of the Company and are junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness of the Company. The capital securities are guaranteed by the Company on a subordinated basis. The purpose of the September 2006 issuance was to use the proceeds to redeem, on March 26, 2007, the existing capital securities issued on March 26, 2002. Because of changes in the market pricing of capital securities from 2002 to 2006, the September 2006 issuance is priced 190 basis points less than that of the March 2002 issuance, and the repayment of the March 2002 issuance in March 2007 reduced the interest expense associated with the distribution on capital securities of subsidiary trust by $76,000 annually.
ASSET QUALITY
Non-performing assets, in most cases, consist of loans that are 90 days or more past due and for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued. Management evaluates all loans that are 90 days or more past due, as well as

27


 

borrowers that have suffered financial distress, to determine if they should be placed on non-accrual status. Factors considered by management include the net realizable value of collateral, if any, and other resources of the borrower that may be available to satisfy the delinquency.
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they have been specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more, unless the loans are well secured and in the process of collection. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on such loans is reversed from income. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest payments received on such loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Interest income on other non-accrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received.
Non-performing assets totaled $3.0 million or 0.70% of total loans at June 30, 2008, compared with $2.1 million or 0.51% of total loans at December 31, 2007, and $1.0 million, or 0.25% of total loans at June 30, 2007.
Total loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $9,000; $770,000; and $1,000 on June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007, respectively. There are no loans, other than those disclosed above as either non-performing or impaired, where information known about the borrower has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrower’s ability to repay.
At June 30, 2008, there are no other interest-bearing assets that would be subject to disclosure as either non-performing or impaired.
At June 30, 2008, no concentration of loans to commercial borrowers engaged in similar activities exceeded 10% of total loans. The largest industry concentration at June 30, 2008 was approximately 5.3% of loans to the hospitality industry (hotels, motels, inns, etc.). For more information regarding the Bank’s concentration of loans collateralized by real estate, please refer to the discussion under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 entitled “We have a high concentration of loans secured by real estate and a downturn in the real estate market, for any reason, may increase our credit losses, which would negatively affect our financial results.”
Based on recently enacted regulatory guidelines, the Bank is now required to monitor the commercial investment real estate loan portfolio for: (a) concentrations above 100% of Tier 1 capital and loan loss reserve for construction and land loans and (b) 300% for permanent investor real estate loans. As of June 30, 2008, construction and land loans are $40.1 million or 79.5% of the concentration limit, while permanent investor real estate loans (by NAICS code) are $51.9 million or 102.9% of the concentration level.
Potential Problem Loans: For additional information regarding non-performing assets and potential loan problems, see “Allowance for Loan Losses” in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
During March 2008, the Bank sold its Route 29 Warrenton branch building and land as part of an exchange of real estate properties. The property the Bank received, also on Route 29 in Warrenton, VA, will be the future site of a larger, more conveniently located branch building. During the time-period of construction of the new branch site, the Bank will rent the existing Route 29 Warrenton branch building for approximately $180,000 on an annualized basis.
As of June 30, 2008, there have been no other material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of June 30, 2008, there have been no material changes to the off-balance sheet arrangements disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

CAPITAL
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that could have a direct material effect on the Company’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 their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. 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 I Capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and of Tier I Capital to average assets (as defined in the regulations). Management believes, as of June 30, 2008, that the Company and the Bank more than satisfy all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company exceeded its regulatory capital ratios, as set forth in the following table:

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Shareholders’ equity totaled $41.8 million at June 30, 2008 compared with $41.8 million at December 31, 2007 and $40.1 million (as restated) at June 30, 2007. The amount of equity reflects management’s desire to increase shareholders’ return on equity while maintaining a strong capital base. The Company initiated an open market stock buyback program in 1998, through which it repurchased 4,293 and 8,270 shares of stock during the first six months of 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Accumulated other comprehensive income/loss decreased to an unrealized loss net of tax benefit of $1.6 million at June 30, 2008 compared with $773,000 at December 31, 2007. The decline in the accumulated other comprehensive loss was attributable to the decrease in the unrealized loss on investment securities held available for sale.
As discussed above under “Company-obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Securities of Subsidiary Trust”, in 2002 and 2006, the Company established subsidiary trusts that issued $4.0 million and $4.0 million of capital securities, respectively, as part of two separate pooled trust preferred security offerings with other financial institutions. During 2007, the Company repaid the $4.0 million issued in 2002. Under applicable regulatory guidelines, the capital securities are treated as Tier 1 capital for purposes of the Federal Reserve’s capital guidelines for bank holding companies, as long as the capital securities and all other cumulative preferred securities of the Company together do not exceed 25% of Tier 1 capital. As discussed above under “Capital,” banking regulations have established minimum capital requirements for financial institutions, including risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios. As of June 30, 2008, the appropriate regulatory authorities have categorized the Company and the Bank as “well capitalized.”

The primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans, maturities of investments, funds provided from operations and advances from the FHLB of Atlanta. While scheduled repayments of loans and maturities of investment securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan repayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank uses its sources of funds to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to maintain liquidity, and to meet operating expenses. Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the desirable funding level based in part on the Bank’s commitments to make loans and management’s assessment of the Bank’s ability to generate funds. Management is not aware of any market or institutional trends, events or uncertainties that are expected to have a material effect on the liquidity, capital resources or operations of the Company or the Bank. Nor is management aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities that would have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources or operations. The Bank’s internal sources of such liquidity are deposits, loan and investment repayments, and securities available for sale. The Bank’s primary external source of liquidity is advances from the FHLB of Atlanta.
Cash and amounts due from depository institutions, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and federal funds sold totaled $12.5 million at June 30, 2008 compared with $19.6 million at December 31, 2007. These assets provide a primary source of liquidity for the Bank. In addition, management has designated the entire investment portfolio as available of sale, of which approximately $16.3 million was unpledged and readily salable at June 30, 2008. Futhermore, the Bank has an available line of credit with the FHLB of Atlanta with a borrowing limit of approximately $145.4 million at June 30, 2008 to provide additional sources of liquidity, as well as available federal funds purchased lines of credit with various commercial banks totaling approximately $62.0 million. At June 30, 2007, $65.0 million of the FHLB of Atlanta line of credit and none of federal funds purchased lines of credit were in use.
On April 2, 2008, the FHLB of Atlanta informed the Bank that, in light of continued turmoil in mortgage and credit markets, it would increase the discount applied to residential first mortgage collateral from 20% to 25% effective May 1, 2008. As result of this increase in required collateralization, the Bank’s total line of credit with the FHLB of Atlanta was reduced by approximately $6.0 million to $145.4 million on June 30, 2008. The Bank does not consider this change in collateral requirements by the FHLB of Atlanta to materially impact the Bank’s liquidity.
Management is not aware of any market or institutional trends, events or uncertainties that are expected to have a material effect on the liquidity, capital resources or operation of the Company or the Bank. Nor is management aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities that would have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources or operations.
The following table sets forth information relating to the Company’s sources of liquidity and the outstanding commitments for use of liquidity at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The liquidity coverage ratio is derived by dividing the total sources of liquidity by the outstanding commitments for use of liquidity.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
The consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this document have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Bank are monetary in nature. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of operations. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than inflation does. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements.” This consensus concludes that for a split-dollar life insurance arrangement within the scope of this Issue, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS 106 (if, in substance, a postretirement benefit plan exists) or APB Opinion No. 12 (if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract) based on the substantive agreement with the employee. The consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, with early application permitted. The effect that EITF 06-4 had on the Company’s consolidated financial statement of condition for June 30, 2008 was a reduction in retained earnings of $12,000 and an increase in accrued benefit liabilities of $19,000.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (“SFAS 158”). This Statement requires that employers measure plan assets and

31


 

obligations as of the balance sheet date. This requirement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The other provisions of SFAS 158 were implemented by the Company as of December 31, 2006. The effect that this provision of SFAS 158 had on The Company’s consolidated financial statement of condition for June 30, 2008 was a reduction in retained earnings of $24,000 and an increase in accrued benefit liabilities of $37,000.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements 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. The three levels are defined as follow:
         
  Level 1   inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
       
  Level 2   inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities 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 fair value measurement.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:
     Securities
Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. At June 30, 2008, all of the Company’s securities are considered to be Level 1 or Level 2 securities.
     Loans held for sale
Loans held for sale which is required to be measured in a lower of cost or fair value. Under SFAS No. 157, market value is to represent fair value. Management obtains quotes or bids on all or part of these loans directly from the purchasing financial institutions. Premiums received or to be received on the quotes or bids are indicative of the fact that cost is lower than fair value. At June 30, 2008, the Company did not have any loans held for sale.
     Impaired loans
SFAS No. 157 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral.
     Other Real Estate Owned
Certain assets such as other real estate owned are measured at fair value less cost to sell. We believe that the fair value component in its valuation follows the provisions of SFAS No. 157.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). The Standard will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions. SFAS 141(R) establishes the criteria for how an acquiring entity in a business combination recognizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. Acquisition related costs including finder’s fees, advisory, legal, accounting valuation and other professional and consulting fees are required to be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early implementation is not permitted. The Company does not expect the implementation to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires the Bank (Company) to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 160 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 161 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB finalized Staff Position (“FSP”) No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Transactions Are Participating Securities.” This FSP affects entities that accrue cash dividends on share-based payment awards during the awards period when the dividends do not need to be returned if the employees forfeit the awards. The FASB concluded that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Because the awards are considered participating securities, the issuing entity is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. The FASB also concluded that because the FSP applies to all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain right to non-forfeitable dividends, changes in an entity’s forfeiture estimate from one reporting period to the next do not affect the computation of earnings per share, other than the increase or decrease in compensation cost as a result of the application of SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” The transition guidance in the FSP requires the entity to retroactively adjust all prior period earnings per share computations to reflect the FSP’s provisions. The retroactive adjustments encompass earnings per share computations included in interim financial statements. Early adoption of FSP is not permitted. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this FSP will have on financial statements when implemented.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
An important component of both earnings performance and liquidity is management of interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate sensitivity reflects the potential effect on net interest income and economic value of equity from a change in market interest rates. The Bank is subject to interest rate sensitivity to the degree that its interest-earning assets mature or reprice at different time intervals than its interest-bearing liabilities. However, the Bank is not subject to the other major categories of market risk such as foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. The Bank uses a number of tools to manage its interest rate risk, including simulating net interest income under various scenarios, monitoring the present value change in equity under the same scenarios, and monitoring the difference or gap between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities over various time periods. Management believes that rate risk is best measured by simulation modeling.
There have been no material changes to the quantitative and qualitative disclosures made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the management of Fauquier Bankshares, Inc., including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. Based on such an evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period.

As of June 30, 2008, management has assessed the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the assessment, management determined that it maintained effective internal control over the financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, based on those criteria, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer can provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Smith Elliott Kearns & Company, LLC, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of Management’s internal control over reporting as of December 31, 2007. The report, which states an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Management’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, is incorporated for reference in the Company’s Annual Report on 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 in Item 8 under the heading “Report of Independent Public Accounting Firm.”
No changes were made in management’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, management’s internal control over financial reporting.
