Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Heritage Bankshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Heritage Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Heritage Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1983, and the Company serves as the holding company for its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s only subsidiary, Heritage Bank (the “Bank”), is a state banking corporation engaged in the general commercial and retail banking business. The Bank is a full-service bank conducting a general commercial and consumer banking business with its customers located throughout the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with and with reference to the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to current period presentation.

The Company believes its critical accounting policies are those that are particularly sensitive in terms of judgments and the extent to which estimates are used, and such policies include (a) the valuation of the allowance for loan losses and the impairment of loans, (b) the impairment of financial investments and other accounts, (c) the deferral of loan fees and direct loan origination costs, and (d) accounting for income taxes.

Allowance for Loan Losses; Impairment of Loans. The Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses at a level that, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb estimated credit losses on existing loans. The amount of the allowance is affected by: (1) loan charge-offs, which decrease the allowance, (2) recoveries on loans previously charged-off, which increase the allowance, and (3) the provision for loan losses charged to income, which increases the allowance.

The Bank analyzes its loan portfolio through ongoing credit review processes and constructs a comprehensive allowance analysis for its loan portfolio at least quarterly. This analysis includes two basic elements: (1) specific allowances for individual loans, and (2) general allowances for loan portfolio segments, which factor in historical loan loss experience and delinquency rates for the Bank and the banking industry and numerous other environmental factors.

The Bank evaluates various loans individually for impairment based on guidance for receivables. The evaluation is based upon either discounted cash flows or collateral evaluations. If the evaluation shows that a particular loan is impaired, then a specific reserve is established, or a charge-off is made, for the amount of any impairment.

For loans without an individual measure of impairment, the Bank makes estimates of losses for groups of loans in accordance with guidance for contingencies. As part of the loan loss reserve methodology, loans are placed into one of four major categories or segments of loans: (1) commercial and industrial loans, (2) consumer loans, (3) 1-4 family residential loans (including home equity loans and lines), and (4) multi-family and other commercial real estate loans.

The Bank then considers the impact of various bank, industry, economic and other environmental factors and documents, which are further used in the analysis.

The Bank’s allowance for loan losses is divided into four distinct portions: (1) Historical – an amount based on the Bank’s actual net charge-offs; (2) Impaired Loans – an amount for specific allocations on significant individual credits as prescribed by guidance for receivables; (3) Loan Segments – an amount to adjust the historical allocation for the four loan segments based on environmental factors as provided by guidance for contingencies; and (4) Unallocated – an amount to reflect the imprecision inherent in these calculations.

Impairment of Financial Investments and Other Accounts. Impairment of investment securities, other equity investments and other asset accounts results in a write-down that must be included in net income when the fair value of the asset declines below cost and the decline is other-than-temporary. The fair values of these investments and other assets are subject to change, as they are influenced by market conditions and management decisions.

Deferral of Loan Fees and Direct Loan Origination Costs. Generally accepted accounting principles relating to accounts receivable require that loan fees and direct loan origination costs be deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the loan’s yield. While the amount of fees to be deferred is generally apparent in the origination of a loan, the Company utilizes estimates to determine the amount of deferred direct origination costs, especially payroll costs, that are attributable to the loan origination process. Management’s estimates of the amount of costs associated with successful loan origination activities are reviewed and updated annually.

Accounting for Income Taxes. The determination of the Company’s effective tax rate requires judgment. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax outcomes are uncertain. In addition, the Company’s tax returns are subject to audit by various tax authorities. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the final tax outcome will not be materially different than that which is reflected in the income tax provision and accrual.

Subsequent Events. In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were no authoritative pronouncements that would have a material impact on the Company during the quarter ending September 30, 2012.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2 – Share-Based Compensation

The following table presents a summary of stock option activity for the period of January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012.


	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price			Weighted Average Remaining Term(years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
									(in thousands)

Outstanding at January 1, 2012		235,800		$	12.65
Granted		—			—
Exercised		(1,000	)		(7.50	)
Forfeited/expired		(800	)		(12.12	)

Outstanding at September 30, 2012		234,000		$	12.67			4.0	$	133

Exercisable at September 30, 2012		226,400		$	12.75			3.9	$	121

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the quarter and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2012. The amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock, as reflected by stock market prices. The Company’s current policy is to issue new shares of common stock to satisfy option exercises. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $3,700. Cash received from exercises of options during the first nine months of 2012 was $7,500. There were no options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

On January 25, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors granted, effective February 1, 2012, 43,600 shares of restricted stock to certain executives under the Heritage 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (“2006 Incentive Plan”). The shares vest at a rate of 20% over a five year period beginning on February 1, 2013 and on each February 1 thereafter. Upon the death or permanent disability of the executive or a change of control of the Company, any remaining unvested shares will vest immediately.

As defined in the 2006 Incentive Plan, fair value of the shares was measured by the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Markets Group, Inc. reporting system on the grant date of the applicable award or, if the Company’s shares were not traded on the grant-date, then the closing price of a share of common stock on the OTC Markets Group, Inc. reporting system on the next preceding date on which a trade occurred. In addition, because the share-recipients are not entitled to dividends until the shares vest, the grant date fair value of the award was reduced by the present value of the dividends expected to be paid on the underlying shares during the service period, discounted at the appropriate risk-free interest rate.

The following table presents a summary of restricted stock award activity for the period of January 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012.


	Shares		Fair Value at Grant Date

Outstanding at January 1, 2012		—		—
Granted		43,600	$	11.28
Vested		—		—
Forfeited/expired		—		—

Outstanding at September 30, 2012		43,600	$	11.28

The amount charged against income, before income tax benefit of $22,295, in relation to stock-based payment arrangements was $79,059 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The amount charged against income, before income tax benefit of $1,423, in relation to stock-based payment arrangements was $67,642 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2012, unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock option and restricted stock grants was $433,754 and is currently expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years as follows:

Note 3 – Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following summary presents an estimate of the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Because no active market readily exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair values of some financial instruments are based on estimates using present value and other valuation techniques. Much of the information used to determine fair value is highly subjective in nature and therefore the results may not be precise. The subjective factors include, among other things, estimates of cash flows, risk characteristics, credit quality and interest rates, all of which are subject to change. Accordingly, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid upon settlement or maturity of the various instruments could be significantly different.

The following table presents the carrying amounts, fair value and level of input of those financial instruments whose fair value differs from carrying amount at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.


	At September 30, 2012
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	(in thousands)
Financial Assets:
Loans held for investment	$	213,082	$	216,733	$	—	$	1,494	$	215,239

Fair Value Hierarchy

“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is measured by quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 2 securities include Treasury notes and bills, mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and other securities issued by government sponsored agencies.

Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is measured using modeling software that incorporates various assumptions based on observable market data such as interest rate fluctuations and cash flow data. From time to time, a loan is considered impaired. Loans that are deemed to be impaired are valued in accordance with guidance related to receivables. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows.

When the fair value of collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as Level 2. If the fair value of the loan is based on criteria other than observable market prices or current appraised value, the loan is recorded as Level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned

Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of the carrying value or fair value. Once management’s intentions change regarding the utilization of its own property, that property is transferred to other real estate owned at fair value. Fair value is based upon independent observable market prices or appraised values of the collateral, which the Company considers to be Level 2 inputs. The Company may, from time to time, revise its evaluation of the fair value of a property and provide an allowance based on subjective criteria such as declines in assessed value, which the Company considers to be Level 3 inputs.

Other Financial Assets

Other financial assets are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is based on quoted market prices which are considered to be Level 2 inputs.

General

The Company has no liabilities carried at fair value or measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.

(1)	At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company held no securities classified as held to maturity.

There were no investment securities with unrealized losses at either September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011. Current year unrealized losses on investment securities, if any, are a result of changes in interest rates during the periods. Unrealized losses on investment securities, if any, are considered by management to be temporary given the credit ratings on these investment securities and the short duration of any unrealized loss due to credit quality.

The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities at September 30, 2012, by contractual maturity, are reflected below. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because some securities may be called or prepaid prior to their contractual maturity.

The Bank utilizes an internal system based on payment history as its primary credit indicator on its commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios. Loans that consistently meet an established historical payment schedule are not given further scrutiny other than that given in the ordinary course of business. Any loan that misses its normal payment date falls into a category of heightened scrutiny to determine whether a potential weakness exists. Based upon the collection and analysis of certain data, if there is a determination that no weakness exists, the loan will be given no further heightened scrutiny. If, however, current financial information indicates a potential weakness, aggressive investigation will begin into collateral values and borrower ability to pay to determine loss potential to the Bank. If loss potential is small, the loan is placed into a category of continued monitoring. If loss potential is high, the process of collateral realization may begin.

For regulatory purposes, the Bank utilizes an internal credit classification system to manage the credit quality of its commercial and real estate loan portfolios. Loans classified as “substandard” have well-defined weaknesses and typically have experienced a degradation in either the current value of the pledged collateral or of the paying capacity of the borrower; these loans carry a distinct possibility that the Bank could sustain some loss unless the weakness is corrected. Loans classified as “doubtful” have uncorrected weaknesses that have a high possibility of loss; a loan may reside in this classification temporarily until a currently unquantifiable expected loss can be determined with a greater degree of accuracy. Any loan classified in the “loss” risk class is considered uncollectible and is to be charged-off within 30 days or less.

No loans were restructured during the quarter ending September 30, 2012. During the quarter ending March 31, 2012, two loans to one borrower were restructured in which both concessions on interest rate and extensions of payment terms were granted. The pre-modification recorded investment was $1,118,000 for the real estate construction loan and $560,000 for the commercial real estate loan. Post-modification recorded investments in these two loans were $879,000 for the real estate construction loan and $805,000 for the commercial real estate loan.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, no loans that had been restructured during the prior twelve months went into default.

At the time of restructuring, loans that are considered troubled are evaluated for impairment allowances based on collateral value, expected cash flows and/or financial strength of the borrower. Any such loan deemed impaired may be assigned a specific allowance in the calculation of allowance for loan losses. If there are subsequent payment defaults on troubled debt restructured loans, additional evaluations are conducted to determine impairment levels. No impairment allowance was deemed necessary at September 30, 2012.

The increase in assets resulted primarily from an $11.6 million increase in our aggregate cash, securities available for sale, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, together with a $5.0 million increase in bank-owned life insurance. Compared to December 31, 2011 total assets increased $18.1 million, primarily from a $38.5 million increase in our interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and certificates of deposits in other banks, offset by a $19.1 million decrease in securities available for sale.

deposit, interest-bearing deposits in other banks (excluding overnight funds), and federal funds sold increased by a total of $6.9 million, with a resulting aggregate increase in such investment balances from $19.9 million at September 30, 2011 to $47.2 million at September 30, 2012.

Overnight funds contributed $25.2 million to this overall increase in other interest-bearing assets.

Loans. Loans held for investment, net, were $213.1 million at September 30, 2012, a decrease of $1.2 million from our loan balance of $214.3 million at September 30, 2011. At December 31, 2011, loans held for investment were $213.2 million.

Asset Quality. Nonperforming assets were $591,000, or 0.19% of total assets, at September 30, 2012, compared to $1,753,000 in nonperforming assets, or 0.59% of total assets, at September 30, 2011 and $1,719,000, or 0.58% of total assets, at December 31, 2011.

Deposits. Total deposits at September 30, 2012 were $272.6 million compared to $257.6 million at September 30, 2011, an increase of $15.0 million, or 5.8%. Core deposits, which are comprised of noninterest-bearing, money market, NOW and savings deposits, increased by $39.4 million, or 18.9%, from $208.2 million at September 30, 2011 to $247.6 million at September 30, 2012. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $8.6 million to $101.0 million at September 30, 2012 and, as a percentage of total deposits, increased from 35.8% at September 30, 2011 to 37.0% at September 30, 2012. Total deposits increased by $22.6 million, or 9.1%, compared to $250.0 million at December 31, 2011, attributable to a $41.9 million increase in core deposits offset by a $19.3 million decrease in certificates of deposit.

Average total deposits increased by $27.9 million, or 11.8%, from $237.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 to $265.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. Average core deposits increased by $44.3 million, or 23.5%, over the comparable nine-month periods. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $11.4 million, from $86.3 million in the nine-month period ending September 30, 2011 to $97.7 million in the comparable period ending September 30, 2012. As a percentage of total average deposits, average noninterest-bearing deposits increased slightly from 36.3% at September 30, 2011 to 36.8% at September 30, 2012.

Borrowed Funds. Borrowed funds decreased by $1,647,000, from $2,404,000 at September 30, 2011 to $757,000 at September 30, 2012. Compared to $5.9 million at December 31, 2011, borrowed funds decreased $5.5 million at September 30, 2012, primarily due to a $4.0 million decrease in FHLB advances.

Capital. Stockholders’ equity increased by $1.3 million, or 3.8%, from $35.9 million at September 30, 2011 to $37.2 million at September 30, 2012, primarily due to an increase in earnings. Stockholders’ equity was $36.4 million at December 31, 2011.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Overview. The Company’s pretax income was $981,000 for the third quarter of 2012, compared to pretax income of $847,000 for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $134,000. A $284,000 gain on the sale of investment securities more than offset a decrease of $258,000 in net interest income. Our effective tax rate decreased from 35.3% in the third quarter of 2011 to 29.4% in the third quarter of 2012.

Net Interest Income. The Company’s net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased by $258,000, comparing the third quarters of 2012 and 2011. Our average loan portfolio decreased by $2.3 million from $214.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 to $212.0 million in the third quarter of 2012, while our average overnight funds increased by $18.1 million and our average investment in securities available for sale and other interest-earning assets (excluding loans and overnight funds) increased by $6.5 million, for a net increase in interest-earning assets of $22.3 million comparing the two quarters. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $15.9 million from the third quarter of 2011 to $176.5 million in the third quarter of 2012, resulting primarily from a $16.9 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits. The average yield on our interest-earning assets was adversely impacted by lower yields on loans and an increase in the average balance of investment securities and other interest-earning assets, which was only partially offset by a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. As a result, our interest rate spread decreased 52 basis points from 3.74% in the third quarter of 2011 to 3.22% in the third quarter of 2012, and our net interest margin decreased 63 basis points from 4.06% in the third quarter of 2011 to 3.43% in the third quarter of 2012.

Provision for Loan Losses. There was no provision for loan losses in the quarter ending September 30, 2012 compared to a provision for loan losses of $33,000 in the quarter ending September 30, 2011.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased by $295,000, from $197,000 in the third quarter of 2011 to $492,000 in the third quarter of 2012. This increase is primarily attributable to a $284,000 gain on sale of investment securities and $43,000 in income from bank-owned life insurance in the third quarter of 2012 that did not occur in the third quarter of 2011.

Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense was $1.997 million for the third quarter of 2012, a $64,000 decrease from the third quarter of 2011, primarily due to an $82,000 decrease in compensation expense in the third quarter of 2012.

Income Taxes. The Company’s income tax expense for the third quarter of 2012 was $288,000, reflecting an effective tax rate of 29.4%, compared to income tax expense of $299,000 for the third quarter of 2011, reflecting an effective tax rate of 35.3%. This reduction in effective tax rate was attributable to increases in tax-exempt interest income and other non-taxable income.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders. Because of qualified loan growth, the dividend rate on our SBLF program preferred stock was 1.00% for the third quarter of 2012, resulting in dividends on preferred stock of $20,000, a savings of $232,000 compared to $252,000 of TARP preferred stock dividends and dividend accretion for the third quarter of 2011. Net income available to common stockholders was $673,000 for the third quarter of 2012, compared to $296,000 for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $377,000, or $0.16 per weighted average diluted common share.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Overview. The Company’s pretax income was $2,614,000 for the first nine months of 2012, compared to pretax income of $2,560,000 for the first nine months of 2011, an increase of $54,000. This increase resulted primarily from a $331,000 increase in noninterest income and an $87,000 decrease in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $373,000 decrease in net interest income between the two nine-month periods. The Company’s effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2012 was 28.6% compared to an effective tax rate of 33.6% for the first nine months of 2011.

Net Interest Income. The Company’s net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased by $373,000, comparing the first-nine month periods of 2012 and 2011. Our average loan portfolio decreased by $900,000 from $215.9 million in the first nine months of 2011 to $215.0 million in the first nine months of 2012, while our average investment in overnight funds increased by $9.7 million and our average investment in securities available for sale and other interest-earning assets (excluding loans and overnight funds) increased by $12.5 million, for a net increase in interest-earning assets of $21.3 million comparing the two nine-month periods. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $15.7 million from the first nine months of 2011 to $171.6 million in the first nine months of 2012, resulting primarily from a $16.6 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits. The average yield on our interest-earning assets was adversely impacted by lower yields on loans and an increase in the average balance of investment securities and other interest-earning assets, which was only partially offset by a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. As a result, our interest rate spread decreased 36 basis points from 3.88% in the first nine months of 2011 to 3.52% in the first nine months of 2012, and our net interest margin decreased 47 basis points from 4.22% in the first nine months of 2011 to 3.75% in the first nine months of 2012.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses was $35,000 and $44,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased by $331,000, from $627,000 in the first nine months of 2011 to $958,000 in the first nine months of 2012. The primary factors in this increase were a $197,000 increase in gains on sale of investment securities and a $161,000 increase in income from bank-owned life insurance in the first nine months of 2012.

Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense decreased by $87,000, from $6.233 million in the first nine months of 2011 to $6.146 million in the first nine months of 2012, primarily attributable to decreased compensation expense of $104,000.

Income Taxes. The Company’s income tax expense for the first nine months of 2012 was $749,000, reflecting an effective tax rate of 28.6%, compared to income tax expense of $861,000 for the first nine months of 2011, reflecting an effective tax rate of 33.6%. This reduction in effective tax rate was primarily attributable to an increase in tax-exempt interest income and other non-taxable income.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders. After the impact of dividends on our preferred stock, net income available to common shareholders was $1.779 million for the first nine months of 2012, or earnings per diluted common share of $0.76, compared to net income available to common stockholders of $1.137 million for the first nine months of 2011, or earnings per diluted common share of $0.49, an increase of $642,000, or $0.27 per diluted common share. This increase in earnings available to common stockholders is primarily attributable to qualified loan growth which resulted in a 1.47% dividend rate on our SBLF program preferred stock in the first nine months of 2012, compared to accelerated accretion of the discount on outstanding TARP preferred stock and the associated dividend rate of 8.96% in the first nine months of 2011.

Commitments

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of loans or loans approved but not yet funded, standby letters of credit, and commitments to sell loans. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk which have not been recognized in our consolidated balance sheets.

Loan commitments are agreements to extend credit to a customer so long as there are no violations of the applicable contract terms prior to the funding. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the customer. Because certain of the commitments are expected to be withdrawn or expire unused, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are written unconditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a Bank customer to a third party.

We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance-sheet instruments. Unless otherwise noted, we require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

The following table reflects our other loan commitments outstanding at the dates indicated:


	At September 30,
	2012		2011
	(in thousands)

Commitments to extend credit	$	35,453	$	31,524
Standby letters of credit		189		76

Total Commitments	$	35,642	$	31,600

Liquidity

Liquidity refers to the availability of sufficient funds to meet the needs of depositors, borrowers, creditors and investors and to fund operations. Our primary sources of funds are customer deposits, cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit in other banks, unpledged investment securities available for sale, loan repayments and borrowings. These funds are used to make loans, purchase investment securities, meet depositor withdrawals and fund operations. At September 30, 2012, liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, certificates of deposit in other banks and nonpledged securities available for sale, were $78.9 million, an increase of $21.1 million from $57.8 million at December 31, 2011.

We also are able to obtain funds through approved borrowing lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and other financial institutions. At September 30, 2012, there were no outstanding balances with these institutions.

Management believes our existing liquidity sources are sufficient to satisfy the Company’s operational requirements and obligations. We maintain a high level of liquidity due to a concentration in some customer deposits, which can fluctuate significantly as depositor needs change.

Capital Resources

The Company’s capital is reflected in its stockholders’ equity, which was $37.2 million at September 30, 2012, up from $36.4 million at December 31, 2011, primarily attributable to an increase in retained earnings. At September 30, 2012, the Company and the Bank were considered “well-capitalized” as defined by the Federal Reserve Bank. We monitor the current and projected capital levels of the Bank and the Company and will consider additional sources of capital, through the issuance of stock, debt or otherwise, as needs arise.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 4

Controls and Procedures

The Company is required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Company management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2012. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to financial reporting were effective as of September 30, 2012 to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
