Net Interest Income

Net interest income decreased $298 thousand, or 1.63%, to $17.98 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011. The tax equivalent net interest margin decreased 5 basis points to 3.91% for the first quarter of 2012 compared with 3.96% for the first quarter of 2011. Total interest income decreased $1.91 million, or 7.76%, to $22.68 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011. The decrease reflects continued loan and investment repricing effectively reducing the average yields. The tax equivalent yield on loans decreased to 5.60% while the average loan balance increased $11.72 million to $1.39 billion for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011.

Total interest expense decreased $1.61 million, or 25.49%, to $4.71 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011. Deposit costs decreased $1.48 million, or 38.02%, to $2.41 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011, which was primarily due to a 37 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits. Borrowing costs decreased $135 thousand, or 5.54%, to $2.30 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011, which was primarily due to a $26.85 million decrease in the average borrowings balance due to the redemption of repurchase agreements and declining commercial cash management balances. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 30 basis points to 1.18% for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $132.79 million, or 7.65%, to $1.60 billion for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011, which included a $105.94 million decrease in average interest-bearing deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses decreased $690 thousand, or 42.80%, to $922 thousand for the first quarter of 2012, which compares favorably with $1.61 million recorded for the first quarter of 2011. The quarter ended March 31, 2012, marks the sixth consecutive quarter of provision decreases when compared to the prior year's comparable quarter.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased $1.51 million, or 15.88%, to $7.99 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011, which was largely due to a reduction in the realized net gain on sale of securities. The Company realized a $51 thousand net gain on sale of securities for the first quarter of 2012, which was $1.79 million, or 97.22%, less than the net gain reported for first quarter of 2011. Wealth management revenues remained constant for the first quarters of 2012 and 2011 at $894 thousand. The Trust and Wealth Management Divisions reported $897 million in assets under management as of March 31, 2012. Service charges on deposit accounts remained stable, decreasing only $18 thousand for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011. Insurance commissions decreased $367 thousand, or 18.89%, to $1.58 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the same quarter of 2011, which is reflective of agency offices sold as part of strategic realignment during the third quarter of 2011.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased $1.87 million, or 10.35%, to $16.19 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011.

Occupancy, furniture, and equipment expense decreased $225 thousand, or 8.78%, to $2.34 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") premiums and assessments decreased $556 thousand, or 63.3%, to $322 thousand for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011, which was primarily due to the FDIC's change in assessment methodology for deposit insurance. Other operating expense increased $315 thousand, or 6.61%, to $5.08 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared with the first quarter of 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company incurred merger related expenses of $163 thousand in connection with the acquisition of Peoples Bank of Virginia, which is expected to close during the third quarter of 2012. Other operating expense included losses on sales and expenses associated with other real estate owned ("OREO") of $821 thousand for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $256 thousand for the first quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP Presentations

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, ("GAAP). This press release also refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures that the Company believes provide investors with important information, when considered with GAAP financial measures, regarding our operational performance. Analysis of non-GAAP financial measures should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Core earnings are a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain items from net income. Excluded items include gains, losses, and impairment losses on securities; goodwill impairment; losses on other real estate owned; amortization of intangibles; taxes; and other nonrecurring income and expense items. Management believes that core earnings provide the Company and investors a valuable tool to evaluate the Company's financial results.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that is computed by dividing core noninterest expense by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and core noninterest income. The Management believes this measure provides investors with important information about the Company's operating expense control and efficiency of operations. Management also believes this ratio focuses attention on core operating performance of the Company over time and is highly useful in comparing period-to-period operating performance of core business operations. The efficiency ratio used by the Company may not be comparable to efficiency ratios reported by other financial institutions.

Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as stockholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by as-converted common shares outstanding. Average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as average stockholder's equity less average goodwill, other intangible assets, and the preferred liquidation preference.

The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefits of income on certain tax exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory rate of 35% for each period presented. The Company believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and nontaxable amounts.
(2) Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances outstanding, but with no related interest income during the period of nonaccrual.
(3) Represents the difference between the yield on earning assets and cost of funds.
(4) Represents tax equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets.
