Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Valley Financial Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on March 15, 1994, primarily to serve as a holding company for Valley Bank (the "Bank"), which opened for business on May 15, 1995. The Company's fiscal year end is December 31.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general banking industry practices. The interim period consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements herein have been included. The consolidated financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Interim financial performance is not necessarily indicative of performance for the full year.
The Company reports its activities as a single business segment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Subsequent Events
In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure.
Note 2. Securities
The carrying values, unrealized gains, unrealized losses, and approximate fair values of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities at September 30, 2011 are shown in the tables below. As of September 30, 2011, investments (including both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity) and restricted equity securities with amortized costs and fair values of $83,614 and $85,075 respectively, were pledged as collateral for public deposits, a line of credit available from the Federal Home Loan Bank, customer sweep accounts, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.
The amortized costs, gross unrealized gains and losses, and approximate fair values of securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:
* Such as FNMA, FHLMC and FHLB.
The amortized costs, gross unrealized gains and losses, and approximate fair values of securities held-to-maturity (“HTM”) as of September 30, 2011and December 31, 2010 were as follows:
The amortized costs and approximate fair values of our total private-label collateralized mortgage obligations were $2,530 and $2,655 as of September 30, 2011. The amortized costs and approximate fair values of our total private-label collateralized mortgage obligations were $4,392 and $4,561 as of December 31, 2010.
The following table presents the maturity ranges of securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity as of September 30, 2011 and the weighted average yields of such securities. Maturities may differ from scheduled maturities on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations because the mortgages underlying the securities may be repaid prior to the scheduled maturity date. Maturities on all other securities are based on the contractual maturity. The weighted average yields are calculated on the basis of the cost and effective yields weighted for the scheduled maturity of each security. Weighted average yields on tax-exempt obligations have been computed on a taxable equivalent basis using a tax
rate of 34%.
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO – MATURITY DISTRIBUTION
* Maturities on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are not presented in this table because maturities may differ substantially from contractual terms due to early repayments of principal.
The following tables detail unrealized losses and related fair values in the Bank’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities portfolios. This information is aggregated by the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Temporarily Impaired Securities in AFS Portfolio
Temporarily Impaired Securities in HTM Portfolio
Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow
for any anticipated recovery in cost.
As of September 30, 2011, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe such securities are other-than-temporarily impaired due to reasons of credit quality. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2011, management believes the impairments detailed in the
table above are temporary and no impairment loss has been realized in the Company’s consolidated income statement.
Note 3. Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The major components of loans in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:
Substantially all one-four family residential and commercial real estate loans collateralize the line of credit available from the Federal Home Loan Bank and substantially all commercial and construction loans collateralize the line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond Discount Window. The aggregate amount of deposit overdrafts that have been reclassified as loans and included in the consumer category in the above table as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $31 and $102, respectively.
Loan Origination. The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a periodic
basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and non-performing and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions.
Commercial and industrial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably and prudently expand its business. Underwriting standards are designed to promote relationship banking rather than transactional banking. Once it is determined that the borrower’s management possesses sound ethics and solid business acumen, the Company’s management examines current and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows
of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.
Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate market or in the general economy. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate
loans based on collateral and risk grade criteria. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus income producing loans. At September 30, 2011, approximately 44% of the outstanding principal balance of the Company’s commercial real estate loans was secured by owner-occupied properties and 50% was secured by income-producing properties.
With respect to construction and development loans that the Company may originate from time to time, the Company generally requires the borrower to have had an existing relationship with the Company and have a proven record of success. Construction loans are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of
the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by recurring on-site inspections during the construction phase and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.
Residential real estate loans are secured by deeds of trust on 1-4 family residential properties. The Bank also serves as a broker for residential real estate loans placed in the secondary market. There are occasions when a borrower or the real estate does not qualify under secondary market criteria, but the loan request represents a reasonable credit risk. On these occasions, if the loan meets the Bank’s internal underwriting criteria, the loan will be closed and placed in the Company’s portfolio. Residential real estate loans carry risk associated with the continued credit-worthiness of the borrower and changes in the value of collateral.
The Company routinely makes consumer loans, both secured and unsecured, for financing automobiles, home improvements, education, and personal investments. The credit history, cash flow and character of individual borrowers is evaluated as a part of the credit decision. Loans used to purchase vehicles or other specific personal property and loans associated with real estate are usually secured with a lien on the subject vehicle or property. Negative changes in a customer’s financial circumstances due to a large number of factors, such as illness or loss of employment, can place the repayment of a consumer loan at risk. In addition, deterioration in collateral value
can add risk to consumer loans.
Risk Management. It is the Company’s policy that loan portfolio credit risk shall be continually evaluated and categorized
on a consistent basis. The Board of Directors recognizes that commercial, commercial real estate and construction lending involve varying degrees of risk, which must be identified, managed, and monitored through established risk rating procedures. Management’s ability to accurately segment the loan portfolio by the various degrees of risk enables the Bank to achieve the following objectives:
There are three levels of accountability in the risk rating process:
Related party loans. In the ordinary course of business, the Company has granted loans to certain directors, executive officers, significant shareholders and their affiliates (collectively referred to as “related parties”). These loans were made on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other unaffiliated persons, and do not involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features.
Past Due Loans. Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. The following schedule is an aging of past due loans receivable by portfolio segment as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:
Subsequent to September 30, 2011 the Company received payments on two relationships carried as past due at September 30, 2011. Included in the past due 30 – 89 day category was one relationship with balances in excess of $5,609 (over 63% of the balances included in this category). The Company received principal payoff on one of the loans totaling $372 and received additional payments totaling $125, bringing all interest and principal current on the borrower’s remaining loans as of November 14, 2011. Additionally, $3,071of the $3,123 in the greater than 90 day and accruing category related to a second borrower. In October 2011 the Company received principal
payoff of $1,111 and received additional payments totaling $145, bringing all interest and principal current on the borrower’s remaining loans as of October 31, 2011. This
reduced the loans in the past due greater than 90 days category to $52 as of October 31, 2011.
Nonaccrual Loans. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. Loans will be placed on nonaccrual status automatically when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more, unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. In this case, the loan will continue to accrue interest despite its past due status. When interest accrual is discontinued,
all unpaid accrued interest is reversed and any payments received are applied to the outstanding principal balance. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. The following is a schedule of loans receivable, by portfolio segment, on nonaccrual status as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:
Had nonaccrual loans performed in accordance with their original contract terms, the Company would have recognized additional interest income in the amount of $437 during the nine-months ended September 30, 2011; $1,227 during the year ended December 31, 2010 and $996 during the nine-months ended September 30, 2010. There were twelve restructured loans totaling $2,187 at September 30, 2011 and no restructured loans at September 30, 2010.
Impaired Loans. Impaired loans are identified by the Company as loans in which it is determined to be probable that the borrower will not make interest and principal payments according to the contract terms of the loan. In determining impaired loans, our credit administration department reviews past-due loans, examiner classifications, Bank classifications, and a selection of other loans to provide evidence as to whether the loan is impaired. All loans rated as substandard are evaluated for impairment by the Bank’s Allowances for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”) Committee. Once classified as impaired,
the ALLL Committee individually evaluates the total loan relationship, including a detailed collateral analysis, to determine the reserve appropriate for each one. Any potential loss exposure identified in the collateral analysis is set aside as a specific reserve (valuation allowance) in the allowance for loan and lease losses. If the impaired loan is subsequently resolved and it is determined the reserve is no longer required, the specific reserve will be taken back into income on the income statement for the period the determination is made. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible. Impaired loans as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are set forth in the following table:
