FIRST BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
2008 ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
TABLE OF CONTENTS
2
PART I
General
The results presented here are for First Bankshares, Inc. (First Bankshares, the Company, we, our, or
us), the parent company of SuffolkFirst Bank (the Bank). On February 23, 2008, we announced that the Banks Board of Directors had approved the formation of a bank holding company, First Bankshares, of which the
Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary. The reorganization was consummated through a share exchange in which each of the Banks shareholders received one share of First Bankshares, Inc. common stock in exchange for each of their shares of
SuffolkFirst Bank common stock. First Bankshares became the Banks parent holding company on August 15, 2008.
SuffolkFirst Bank
is located in and considers its primary market to be the City of Suffolk, Virginia. Our secondary market is the eastern sections of the cities of Portsmouth and Chesapeake and portions of the counties of Southampton and Isle of Wight, as well as
Gates County, North Carolina. Financial activity and growth in Suffolk have been brisk over the past five years. The Suffolk Department of Economic Development reported the City of Suffolk as one of the fastest-growing cities in Virginia. In
managements opinion, this growth will continue into the foreseeable future. The City of Suffolk had a population of 81,209 in 2007, and the Suffolk Department of Economic Development projects the population to grow to 122,482 by 2020. As of
2007, there were 34,354 individuals employed within the city.

Business Development
The Banks core business development targets small- to medium-sized business customers in addition to offering various consumer
products. Our services and products consist primarily of taking deposits and making loans within our trade area of the City of Suffolk and its adjacent cities and counties. We provide a broad selection of commercial and retail banking products,
including commercial and residential real estate loans and various consumer loans. We also offer a wide range of deposit products, including time deposit, automated clearing house transactions, remote capture, debit cards, 24-hour ATM access, and
Internet banking and bill pay service.
Fee Income
With the decline in net interest margins experienced throughout the banking industry, fee income has become an important aspect of the Banks overall profitability. Public perception of increased fees by large
state and national financial institutions has increased the sensitivity of both consumers and businesses in our market area, affording us an opportunity to develop new relationships with these parties.
SuffolkFirst Bank established its mortgage loan origination department in 2003. Management anticipates future improvement in fee income primarily through
marketing mortgage loan products, which include construction loan fees on residential and commercial real estate loans, and by exploring other fee income products.
Fee income related to mortgage loan origination declined in 2008 to $108,732, compared to $152,987 in 2007 and $172,695 in 2006. The decline in mortgage origination fee income can be attributed to a lower volume of
closed loans in 2008 versus both 2007 and 2006 and was affected by a decline in demand for both construction of new homes and refinancing of existing homes within our market.

Financial Performance
The financial performance of the Bank is detailed in Part II, Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. At year end 2008, total assets stood
at $184,158,222 and deposits were $130,284,637, compared to $179,385,995 in total assets and $113,748,150 in deposits at December 31, 2007, representing 2.66% growth in assets and 14.54% growth in deposits. Total loans grew to $117,247,295 in
2008 from $104,727,915 in 2007, representing 11.95% growth.
The Company realized income before income taxes of $362,438, $919,790, and
$866,745 for the years ending December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.
Deposit Activities
In 2008 the Bank introduced Remote Deposit Express, a service designed to allow business customers to submit their deposits electronically seven days a
week. Remote Deposit Express also eliminates the time, risk, and expense that businesses incur by having their employees deliver deposits to branch locations or by paying for courier pickup. In addition, we provide a variety of deposit products that
includes time deposits, automated clearing house transactions, debit cards, 24-hour ATM access, and Internet banking and bill pay service.
Expansion
Strategy
In March of 2008, First Bankshares, Inc. was organized under the laws of Virginia. At the annual meeting on May 15, 2008,
SuffolkFirst Bank shareholders approved the reorganization of the Banks business under a holding company structure.
The laws and
regulations applicable to First Bankshares, Inc. as a holding company allow us greater flexibility in expanding our market through increasing the variety of services that financial subsidiaries provide our customers. While the activities of First
Bankshares are subject to additional regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, management believes that a bank holding company structure allows us to successfully pursue a strategy of expanding into related lines of business that
address the needs of our target market. Under the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act and subject to compliance with various regulatory criteria, First Bankshares is able to offer a greater variety of additional financial-related services. In addition, the
management of First Bankshares believes the formation of the holding company enables us to raise alternative sources of capital that will serve to enhance shareholder value.
On November 20, 2008, the Board of Directors of First Bankshares adopted an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation authorizing 1 million
shares of preferred stock with a par value of $1.00 per share subject to shareholder approval. The amendment will allow the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock in one or more series and, to the extent permitted by law, fix and determine the
preferences, limitations, and relative rights of shares of any series so established.
The primary objective in amending the Articles of
Incorporation is to permit First Bankshares to issue Senior Preferred shares, which will allow the Company to participate in the U.S. Treasurys Capital Purchase Program under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Under the Capital
Purchase Program, First Bankshares would issue approximately 3,540 shares of preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury, with at least 996,550 additional shares authorized for issuance at a later date. The Board of Directors would be permitted to issue
such stock without shareholder approval, providing us with maximum flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, capital-raising transactions, and other corporate purposes. The Board of Directors evaluates such
opportunities and considers different capital structuring alternatives designed to advance our business strategy. Having the
4
authority to issue preferred stock will enable us to develop equity securities tailored to specific purposes and to avoid the possible delay associated with,
and significant expense of, calling and holding a meeting of shareholders to authorize such additional capital. The Board of Directors believes that such enhanced ability to respond to opportunities and favorable market conditions before the
opportunities or conditions pass is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Capital Purchase Program
First Bankshares received preliminary approval on December 1, 2008 to participate in the Capital Purchase Program. In the event of our participation,
we anticipate that we would issue cumulative perpetual preferred stock (Senior Preferred) with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Under the Program, eligible institutions can generally apply to issue Senior Preferred shares to
the Treasury in aggregate amounts between 1% and 3% of the institutions risk-weighted assets. In our case, we have been approved for an investment by the Treasury of approximately $3.54 million, or 3% of our risk-weighted assets at
December 31, 2008. If shareholders approve the proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation and we satisfy all other conditions to closing the transaction, we would issue approximately 3,540 Senior Preferred shares to the Treasury under the
terms summarized below.
The Senior Preferred shares would rank senior to our common shares and at an equal level in the capital structure
with any other preferred shares other than preferred shares which by their terms rank junior to any other preferred shares. The Senior Preferred shares would pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum until the fifth anniversary of the
date of original investment and thereafter at a rate of 9% per annum. Dividends would be payable quarterly in arrears on the fifteenth day of February, May, August, and November of each year and the Senior Preferred shares would not be
convertible into shares of any other class or series of our stock.
The Senior Preferred shares may not be redeemed prior to the first
dividend payment date after the third anniversary of the date of issuance, except to the extent of the proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (as defined below) that results in proceeds to us of not less than 25% of the issue price of
the Senior Preferred shares (or at least $885,000 if we issue $3.54 million of Senior Preferred shares to the Treasury). A Qualified Equity Offering is the sale for cash, following the date of issuance of the Senior Preferred shares, of
common shares or perpetual preferred shares that qualify as Tier 1 capital under the risk-based capital guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve). On any date after the first dividend
payment date following the third anniversary of the date of issuance, the Senior Preferred shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at our option. Any such redemption must be approved by the Federal Reserve and would be at a cash redemption
price of $1,000 per Senior Preferred share, plus any unpaid dividends for all prior dividend periods for that share, plus a
pro rata
portion of the dividend for the then-current dividend period to the redemption date. Holders of the Senior
Preferred shares will have no right to require the redemption or repurchase of the Senior Preferred shares.

regarding the Capital Purchase Program and the terms of the Senior Preferred shares issue can be found at the U.S. Treasurys website at

Employees
The Bank had 43 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2008, or one employee for every $4,185,414 in assets, compared to 45 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2007, or one employee for
every $3,986,355 in assets. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining unit, and we believe that relations with our employees are good. Based on the Banks mission statement of providing superior personal service to our
customers, our employees are well suited for accomplishing this goal and establishing the Bank as a good corporate citizen in the Suffolk community.
Supervision and Regulation
General
SuffolkFirst Bank is a Virginia state chartered bank regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank and the Bureau of Financial Institutions of Virginia. SuffolkFirst Bank operates as a subsidiary under First Bankshares, Inc.,
a one bank holding company. Our deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). First Bankshares, Inc. and the Bank are required by the Federal Reserve and the Bureau of Financial Institutions to file quarterly financial
reports on our financial condition and performance. In addition, the Federal Reserve and the Bureau of Financial Institutions conduct periodic onsite and offsite examinations of the Bank. We must comply with a variety of reporting requirements and
banking regulations. The laws and regulations governing the Bank generally have been promulgated to protect depositors and the deposit insurance funds and are not intended to protect our various shareholders. Additionally, we must bear the cost of
compliance with reporting and other regulations; this cost can be significant and could affect our financial performance.
The Federal
Reserve, Bureau of Financial Institutions, and FDIC have the authority and responsibility to ensure that financial institutions are managed in a safe and sound manner and to prevent the continuation of unsafe and unsound activities. Additionally,
they must generally approve significant business activities undertaken by financial institutions. Typical examples of such activities requiring approval include branch locations, mergers, capital transactions, and major organizational structure
changes. Obtaining regulatory approval for these types of activities can be time consuming and expensive and ultimately might not be successful.
6
Insurance of Accounts and Regulatory Assessments
Our deposit accounts are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the maximum legal limits of the FDIC and
are subject to regulation, supervision, and regular examination by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve. The regulations of these various agencies govern most aspects of our business, including required reserves
against deposits, loans, investments, mergers and acquisitions, borrowings, dividends, and location and number of branch offices. The laws and regulations governing us generally have been promulgated to protect depositors and the deposit insurance
funds and not for the purpose of protecting shareholders.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDIA) has established a risk-based deposit
insurance assessment system. Under applicable regulations, deposit premium assessments are determined based upon a matrix formed utilizing capital categories well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, and
undercapitalized defined in the same manner as those categories are defined for purposes of Section 38 of the FDIA. Each of these groups are divided into three subgroups which reflect varying levels of supervisory concern,
from those which are considered healthy to those which are considered to be of substantial supervisory concern. The matrix created results in nine assessment risk classifications, with rates ranging from 0.01% of insured deposits for
well-capitalized institutions having the lowest level of supervisory concern to 0.27% of insured deposits for undercapitalized institutions having the highest level of supervisory concern. In general, while the Bank Insurance Fund of the FDIC
maintains a reserve ratio of 1.25% or greater, no deposit insurance premiums are required. When the Bank Insurance Fund of the FDIC reserve ratio falls below that level, all insured banks would be required to pay premiums. Payment of deposit
premiums, either under current law or as the deposit insurance system may be reformed, will have an adverse impact on earnings.
Bank Capital Adequacy
Guidelines
The Federal Reserve Board has issued risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to banking organizations that it
supervises. Under the risk-based capital requirements, we are generally required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including specific off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) of 8%. At
least half of total capital (4%) must be composed of Tier 1 capital, which is defined as common equity, retained earnings, and qualifying perpetual preferred stock less certain intangibles. The remainder may consist of Tier 2
capital, which is defined as specific subordinated debt, some hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying preferred stock, and a limited amount of the Allowance for Loan Losses. Assets are adjusted under the risk-based guidelines to take
into account different risk characteristics, with the categories ranging from 0% (requiring no risk-based capital) for assets such as cash and certain U.S. Government and Agency Securities to 100% for the bulk of assets which are typically held by a
bank holding company, including certain multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, and consumer loans. Residential first mortgage loans on one- to four-family residential real estate and certain seasoned
multi-family residential real estate loans, which are not 90 days or more past due or nonperforming and which have been made in accordance with prudent underwriting standards, are assigned a 50% level in the risk-weighting system, as are certain
privately issued mortgage-backed securities representing indirect ownership of such loans.
In addition to the risk-based capital
requirements, the Federal Reserve has established a minimum 4.0% Leverage Capital Ratio (Tier 1 capital to total adjusted assets) requirement for the most highly rated banks, with an additional cushion of at least 100 to 200 basis points for all
other banks, which effectively increases the minimum Leverage Capital Ratio for such other banks to a level of 4.0% to 6.0% or more. The highest rated banks are those that are not anticipating or experiencing significant growth; that have
well-diversified risk, including no undue interest rate risk exposure, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, and good earnings; and that, in general, are considered a strong banking organization. A bank having less than the minimum Leverage
Capital Ratio requirement shall, within 60 days of the date as of which it fails to comply with such requirement, submit a reasonable plan describing the means and timing by which it will achieve its minimum Leverage Capital Ratio requirements. A
bank that fails to file such a
7
plan is deemed to be operating in an unsafe and unsound manner and could be subject to a cease-and-desist order. Any insured depository institution with a
Leverage Capital Ratio that is less than 2.05% is deemed to be operating in an unsafe and unsound condition pursuant to Section 8(a) of the FDIA and is subject to potential termination of deposit insurance. However, such an institution will not
be subject to an enforcement proceeding solely on account of its capital ratios, provided it has entered into and is in compliance with a written agreement to increase its Leverage Capital Ratio and to take such other action as may be necessary to
operate in a safe and sound manner. The capital regulations also provide, among other things, for the issuance of a capital directive, which is a final order issued to a bank that fails to maintain minimum capital or to restore its capital to the
minimum capital requirement within a specified time period. Such directive is enforceable in the same manner as a final cease-and-desist order.
Under these regulations, a commercial bank will be:
|
|
|
well-capitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, and a Tier 1 leverage
ratio of 5% or greater and is not subject to any written capital order or directive;
|
|
|
|
adequately capitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater, and a Tier 1
leverage ratio of 4% or greater (3% in certain circumstances) and does not meet the definition of well-capitalized;
|
|
|
|
undercapitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4%, and a Tier 1 leverage
ratio of less than 4% (3% in certain circumstances);
|
|
|
|
significantly undercapitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3%, and a Tier
1 leverage ratio of less than 3%; or
|
|
|
|
critically undercapitalized if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%.
|
The risk-based capital standards of the Federal Reserve explicitly identify concentrations of credit risk and the risk arising from non-traditional
activities, as well as an institutions ability to manage these risks, as important factors to be taken into account by the agency in assessing an institutions overall capital adequacy. The capital guidelines also provide that an
institutions exposure to a decline in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates be considered by the agency as a factor in evaluating a banking organizations capital adequacy.
Prompt Corrective Action
Immediately upon becoming
undercapitalized, an institution shall become subject to the provisions of Section 38 of the FDIA, which: (a) restrict payment of capital distributions and management fees; (b) require that the appropriate federal banking agency
monitor the condition of the institution and its efforts to restore its capital; (c) require submission of a capital restoration plan; (d) restrict the growth of the institutions assets; and (e) require prior approval of certain
expansion proposals. The appropriate federal banking agency for an undercapitalized institution also may take any number of discretionary supervisory actions if the agency determines that any of these actions is necessary to resolve the problems of
the institution at the least possible long term cost to the deposit insurance fund, subject in certain cases to specified procedures. These discretionary supervisory actions include: (a) requiring the institution to raise additional capital;
(b) restricting transactions with affiliates; (c) requiring divestiture of the institution or the sale of the institution to a willing purchaser; and (d) any other supervisory action that the agency deems appropriate. These and
additional mandatory and permissive supervisory actions may be taken with respect to significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized institutions.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the Act) implemented major changes to the statutory framework for providing banking and other financial services in the United States. The Act, among other things, eliminated
many of the restrictions on affiliations among banks and securities firms, insurance firms, and other financial service providers. A bank holding company that qualifies as a financial holding company will be permitted to engage in activities that
are financial in nature or incident or complimentary to financial activities. The activities that the Act expressly lists as financial in nature include insurance activities, providing financial and investment advisory services, underwriting
services and limited merchant banking activities.
To be eligible for these expanded activities, a bank holding company must qualify as a
financial holding company. To qualify as a financial holding company, each insured depository institution controlled by the bank holding company must be well-capitalized and well-managed and have a least a satisfactory rating under the Community
Reinvestment Act. In addition, the bank holding company must file with the Federal Reserve a declaration of its intention to become a financial holding company.
Although the Act is considered one of the most significant banking laws since Depression-era statutes were enacted, we do not expect it to materially affect our products, services, or other business activities, nor do
we believe that the Act will have a material adverse impact on our operations. To the extent that it allows banks, securities firms, and insurance firms to affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further consolidation. The Act may
have the result of increasing competition that we face from larger institutions and other companies offering financial products and services, many of which may have substantially greater financial resources.
Payment of Cash Dividends
The Company is subject to
laws and regulations that limit the amount of dividend that it can pay. The amount of dividends that may be paid depends upon our earnings and capital position and is limited by federal and state laws, regulations, and policies. Federal Reserve and
Virginia state regulators require prior approval for any dividend if the total of all dividends declared in any calendar year would exceed the total of our net profits for that year combined with our retained net profits for the preceding two years.
In addition, the Company may not pay a dividend in an amount greater than its undivided profits then on hand after deducting its losses and bad debts. For this purpose, bad debts are generally defined to include the principal amount of loans which
are in arrears with respect to interest by six months or more unless such loans are fully secured and in the process of collection. Moreover, for purposes of this limitation, the Company is not permitted to add the balance of the Allowance for Loan
Losses account to its undivided profits then on hand; however, it may net the sum of its bad debts as so defined against the balance of its Allowance for Loan Losses account and deduct from undivided profits only bad debts so defined in excess of
that account. In addition, the Federal Reserve is authorized to determine under certain circumstances relating to the financial condition of a bank that the payment of dividends would be an unsafe and unsound practice and to prohibit payment
thereof. The payment of dividends that deplete a banks capital base could be deemed to constitute such an unsafe and unsound banking practice. The Federal Reserve has indicated that banking organizations generally pay dividends only out of
current operating earnings.
Under Virginia law, no dividend may be declared or paid out of a banks paid-in capital. The Company may
be prohibited under Virginia law from the payment of dividends if the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions determines that a limitation of dividends is in the public interest and is necessary to ensure our financial soundness, and may also
permit the payment of dividends not otherwise allowed by Virginia law.
Under the U.S. Treasury Troubled Asset Capital Purchase Program,
banks that participate in the Program are required to obtain prior approval from the Treasury before payment of or any increase in
9
dividends paid to shareholders of common stock of the Company. First Bankshares, Inc. received preliminary approval in December 2008 to participate in the
Capital Purchase Program; therefore, if management accepts the terms and conditions of the Capital Purchase Program, future dividends will be restricted under existing or future guidelines established by the Capital Purchase Program or until the
Senior Preferred shares issued to the Treasury are paid in full.
Monetary Policy
Banking is a business that depends on interest rate differentials. In general, the differences between the interest paid by a bank on its deposits and its
other borrowings and the interest received by a bank on loans extended to its customers and securities held in its investment portfolio constitute a major portion of earnings. Thus, our earnings and growth will be subject to the influence of
economic conditions generally, both domestic and foreign, and also to the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve, which regulates the supply of money through various means including open
market transactions in United States government securities. These transactions include the purchase and sale of securities to expand or contract the general liquidity in the financial system. Additionally, the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve establishes a target Federal Fund Rate and the Discount Rate. The actions taken by the Federal Reserve System will dictate the general condition of interest rates in the market place.
The Banks earnings are a function of differentials between interest rates. Depending on the Banks asset/liability strategy, actions taken by
the Federal Reserve may have a positive or negative effect on profitability. We cannot predict the actions of the Federal Reserve, nor can we guarantee that our asset/liability strategy is consistent with action taken by the Federal Reserve.
Community Reinvestment Act
The
Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 requires federal banking regulators to evaluate the record of financial institutions in meeting the credit needs of their local communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with the
safe and sound operation of those institutions. These factors are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and applications to open a branch or facility. To the best knowledge of management, the Bank is meeting its obligations under this
act.
Branching and Interstate Banking
The federal banking agencies are authorized to approve interstate bank merger transactions without regard to whether such transaction is prohibited by the law of any state, unless the home state of one of the banks has opted out of the
interstate bank merger provisions of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the Riegle-Neal Act) by adopting a law after the date of enactment of the Riegle-Neal Act and prior to June 1, 1997 that
applies equally to all out-of-state banks and expressly prohibits merger transactions involving out-of-state banks. Interstate acquisitions of branches are permitted only if the law of the state in which the branch is located permits such
acquisitions. Such interstate bank mergers and branch acquisitions are also subject to the nationwide and statewide insured deposit concentration limitations described in the Riegle-Neal Act.
The Riegle-Neal Act authorizes the federal banking agencies to approve interstate branching
de novo
by national and state banks in states which
specifically allow for such branching. Virginia has enacted laws which permit interstate acquisitions of banks and bank branches and permit out-of-state banks to establish
de novo
branches.
Regulatory Enforcement Authority
Federal banking law
grants substantial enforcement powers to federal banking regulators. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions
against banking organizations and
10
institution-affiliated parties. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound
practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with regulatory authorities.
Loans to Insiders
The Federal Reserve Act and related regulations impose specific restrictions on loans to directors,
executive officers, and principal shareholder of banks. Under Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act, any loan to a director, executive officer or principal shareholder of a bank, or to entities controlled by any of the foregoing, may not
exceed, together with all outstanding loans to such persons or entities controlled by such person, the banks loan to one borrower limit. Loans in the aggregate to insiders and their related interests as a class may not exceed two times the
banks unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus until the banks total assets equal or exceed $100 million, at which time the aggregate is limited to the banks unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. Section 22(h) also
prohibits loans above amounts prescribed by the appropriate federal banking agency to directors, executive officers, and principal shareholders of a bank or bank holding company, and to entities controlled by such persons, unless such loans are
approved in advance by a majority of the Board of Directors of the bank with any interested director not participating in the voting. Our loan amount, which includes all other outstanding loans to such persons, as to which such prior
board of director approval is required, must be the greater of $25,000 or 5% of capital and surplus (up to $500,000). Section 22(h) requires that loans to directors, executive officers, and principal shareholders be made in terms and
underwriting standards substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions to other persons.
USA Patriot Act of 2001
The USA Patriot Act of 2001 was enacted in response to the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. which occurred on
September 11, 2001 and is intended to strengthen the ability of U.S. law enforcement agencies and the intelligence communities to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The potential impact of the Patriot Act on financial
institutions of all kinds is significant and wide ranging. The Patriot Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and imposes various regulations, including standards for verifying client identification at account
opening and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators, and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering. The Patriot Act has not had a material impact on the
results of operations or financial condition of the Bank.
Other Regulation
The Bank is subject to a variety of other regulations. State and federal laws restrict interest rates on loans, potentially affecting our income. The
Truth in Lending Act and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act impose information requirements on us in making loans. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits discrimination in lending on the basis of race, creed, or other prohibited factors. The Fair
Credit Reporting Act governs the use and release of information to credit reporting agencies. The Truth in Savings Act requires disclosure of yields and costs of deposits and deposit accounts. Other acts govern confidentiality of consumer financial
records, automatic deposits and withdrawals, check settlement, endorsement and presentment, and reporting of cash transactions as required by the Internal Revenue Service.
Future Regulatory Uncertainty
Because federal regulation of financial institutions changes regularly
and is the subject of constant legislative debate, we cannot forecast how federal regulation of financial institutions may change in the future and impact our operations. Although Congress in recent years has sought to reduce the regulatory burden
on financial institutions with respect to the approval of specific transactions, we fully expect that the our industry will remain heavily regulated in the near future and that additional laws or regulations may be adopted, further regulating
specific banking practices
.

Competition, Challenges, and Risk Factors
Dramatic change continues to occur in all areas of our financial marketplace. Our competition includes regional, national, and local
financial institutions, including other banks, mortgage and securities brokers, insurance companies, thrifts, and tax-exempt credit unions. Management continues to develop new products and services in order to expand our footprint beyond the City of
Suffolk. We believe that our hometown, friendly service approach to banking and our focus on innovative and competitive products sets us apart from our competition.
In managements opinion, the primary challenges facing the Bank that may impact our performance follow:
|
|
|
Net interest margin compression, which would impact the Banks ability to increase revenues due to the volatility of interest rates
|
|
|
|
Compression of interest rate spreads between interest income on loans and investments and the interest paid on deposit and borrowed funds
|
|
|
|
A limited ability to predict, with certainty, interest rate changes
|
|
|
|
Economic conditions that may be less favorable than expected, resulting in deterioration in credit quality and/or reduced demand for loans
|
|
|
|
Borrowers inability to repay loans
|
|
|
|
A decline in the value of collateral securing loans
|
|
|
|
A decline in the quality of the Banks loan portfolio
|
|
|
|
Regulatory changes, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which may adversely affect earnings by requiring additional personnel
|
|
|
|
Unfavorable economic conditions and a volatile interest rate environment
|
|
|
|
Adverse changes in the securities market
|
|
|
|
Vigorous competition from other financial service providers
|
|
|
|
Changes in national and local economic conditions which might lead to increased loan charge-offs that could affect net income
|
|
|
|
Increased unemployment in our trade area, a decline in real estate values, or a sudden change in interest rates leading to a weakened economy, which might affect
our earnings and overall financial condition
|
|
|
|
An inability to attract and retain skilled personnel
|
Lending Activities and Credit Risk Management
The Banks loan development goal is to maximize earnings through quality
loan products that are competitive in rate and term; to assist small- and medium-sized business and consumer borrowers in achieving their financial goals; and to establish long term, meaningful banking relationships. We develop a majority of our
lending activities within our trade area, but as a secondary role of the loan function, we also underwrite and partner with other financial institutions to produce commercial real estate loans within and outside our service area. Commercial real
estate loans represented 61% of total loans at December 31, 2008. Our loan portfolio is the primary source of our profitability, and appropriate loan underwriting is essential to both our near and long-term success. Our underwriting is intended
to classify acceptable risk-mitigating issues that ensure our credit analysis conforms to acceptable lending standards. The primary factors considered in underwriting loans are cash flow and debt service coverage, the value of the collateral
securing the loan, a secondary source of repayment, the equity invested in the transaction by the borrower, and the current local and national economic environment. While any lending function involves a certain amount of risk, commercial lending
presents a more significant risk because repayment usually depends on revenue generated by principal collateral securing the loan or from other cash flow sources of a business that affect its debt service capacity.
12
Management uses the following universal practices to manage credit risk:
|
|
|
An established credit approval process
|
|
|
|
A careful underwriting and analysis of borrowers loan requests
|
|
|
|
An analysis of market trends and collateral risks
|
|
|
|
Constant monitoring of our loan portfolio
|
|
|
|
An ongoing analysis of customer loans and other deposit relationships
|
|
|
|
Periodic review of our lending strategy and overall exposure to economic changes
|
SuffolkFirst Bank focuses on relationship lending, which has historically produced solid credit quality, as evidenced by our low charge-off history.
The risk of delinquent loans is inherent in banking; therefore, we may experience greater levels of delinquencies than anticipated, and as
a result, our earnings and the overall financial condition of the Bank could be affected. We cannot precisely estimate economic conditions or be assured that monitoring procedures and policies will reduce lending risks and that our Allowance for
Loan Loss (the Allowance) will be adequate. Loan losses may cause insolvency and failure of the Bank, and in such an event, shareholders could lose their entire investment. In addition, future provisions for loan losses could have an
adverse effect on the profitability of the Bank. A loan loss will reduce the Allowance, and a reduction to the Allowance will be restored by a recovery of the loss. If not recovered, a loan loss will result in an increase to our expense provision
for loan losses, thereby reducing earnings, which could have an adverse effect on the market value of our stock.
The Board of Directors
approves various levels of loan officer loan authority based on the aggregate credit exposure to a borrower and the secured or unsecured status of a proposed loan. A secured loan within a loan officers assigned authority may be approved by
that officer and reviewed and ratified by the Officers Loan Committee, the Executive Loan Committee, and the Board of Directors. All unsecured loans must be presented to the Officers Loan Committee for approval. The Officers Loan Committee consists
of all loan officers together with the Loan Review Officer, with voting members consisting of the President and CEO and the two Executive Vice Presidents. The Executive Loan Committee consists of five permanent members, including the President and
CEO. Unsecured loans that exceed $250,000 and secured loans that exceed $500,000 and up to $1,200,000 are approved by the Executive Loan Committee. Unsecured loans over $700,000 and secured loans over $1,200,000, as well as all loans originated and
purchased from other financial institutions and all insider loans, are approved by the Board upon recommendation of the Executive Loan Committee.
Commercial loans represent the largest category of the Banks total loan portfolio of $117,247,295 as of December 31, 2008. Loans for commercial and business purposes at December 31, 2008 represented $87,074,476, or 75.35% of
total loans. The remaining loan portfolio, which represented 24.65% of total loans, included various loans for working capital and equipment and loans secured by real estate located within or beyond our immediate market. Commercial loans of
$70,342,338 secured by real estate represented 60.81% of total loans and 80.78% of commercial business purpose loans. Other non-real estate business loans of $16,732,138 represented 14.27% of total loans and 19.22% of all commercial loans. Consumer
loans of $25,818,111 secured by primary and secondary liens on residential real estate represented 22.02% of total loans and 26.32% of all loans secured by real estate. Management believes the loan portfolio is adequately diversified; however, total
loans of $98,095,640 secured by real estate on December 31, 2008 represented 83.67% of total loans and 528.22% of total risk-based capital of $18,571,000. The analysis by management of the historical performance of this segment of the loan
portfolio considers this to be an acceptable concentration of credit.
13
Lending Limit
At December 31, 2008, the Banks legal lending limit for loans to one borrower was $2.53 million. As a part of risk management strategy, we maintain internal house limits below our legal lending limit. When we receive
customer requests in excess of our legal lending limit, we evaluate the credit risk under our normal guidelines, and approved transactions exceeding our lending limit are sold to and funded by other banks.
Churches and Related Accounts
Bank management
recognizes the large number of established churches located in our market area and is targeting this segment of our market by offering loans for new construction; refinancing and consolidation of current debt; and other purposes, including the
financing of purchases of equipment, furniture, and fixtures. We do not anticipate any unique risks associated with these lending practices. In addition, our management focuses on developing personal banking relationships with these church
congregations.
Consumer Purpose and Residential Real Estate Loans
Our consumer loans consist of personal loans for various purposes, including non-real estate secured and unsecured revolving credit. A majority of these loans are secured by liens on various personal assets of the
borrower, but they also may be made on an unsecured basis. Real estate loans include consumer loans secured by first or junior liens on real estate. Consumer loans are generally made at fixed interest rates with maturities or amortization schedules
generally not to exceed five years; however, consumer loans secured by real estate are made at fixed interest rates and normally contain interest rate adjustment features or are callable in five years with an amortization of 20 to 30 years. The Bank
offers a variety of residential real estate loans with loan-to-value ratios not to exceed 90% of the value of the collateral. As of December 31, 2008, we had $25,818,111, or 22.02% of our total outstanding loans, in one- to four- family
residential loans secured by first and junior liens. Included in this total is $10,870,069 in home equity loans to individuals.
Consumer
loans generally are secured by personal property and other personal assets of borrowers which often depreciate rapidly or are vulnerable to damage or loss. In cases where damage or depreciation reduces the value of our collateral below the unpaid
balance of a defaulted loan, repossession may not result in repayment of the entire outstanding balance. The resulting deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In connection with consumer lending
in general, the success of our loan collection efforts is highly dependent on the continuing financial stability of our borrowers, so our collection of consumer loans may be more likely to be adversely affected by a borrowers job loss,
illness, personal bankruptcy, or other change in personal circumstances than is the case with other types of loans.
Unfunded Commitments
In the normal course of business, we may have outstanding commitments for the extension of credit that are not reflected in the
financial statements. These commitments represent no more than the normal lending risk that we commit to our borrowers. As of December 31, 2008, we had outstanding commitments to extend credit of $17,064,037, including letters of credit of
$123,550. Management believes these commitments can be funded through normal operations.

As of January 27, 2009, the Company had 2,276,298 shares of common stock outstanding with a
par value of $3.20 per share, held by approximately 1,679 shareholders of record.
We have not declared a dividend since inception. As
discussed in Part I, Item 1, Business Supervision and Regulation Payment of Cash Dividends, we are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the capital requirements of federal and state banking regulations, and the
declaration of dividends in the future will depend on our earnings and capital requirements and may be restricted.
Banks that participate
in the U.S. Treasury Troubled Asset Capital Purchase Program are required to obtain prior approval from the Treasury before any dividends may be paid to shareholders of common stock of the Company. First Bankshares, Inc. received preliminary
approval in December 2008 to participate in the Capital Purchase Program; therefore, if management accepts the terms and conditions of the Capital Purchase Program, future dividends will be restricted under existing or future guidelines established
by the Program or until the Senior Preferred Shares issued to the Treasury are paid in full.

Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
|
The following discussion is intended to assist readers in understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. This review should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and
accompanying notes included in Item 8 of this report on Form 10-K. The data presented for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is derived from our audited financial statements and footnotes appearing elsewhere in this document.
In addition to historical information, Managements Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or from those anticipated. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company include, but
are not limited to: the growth of the economy, interest rate fluctuations, timely development of technology enhancements for the Banks products and operating systems, the impact of competitive products and the Internet, services and pricing,
customer needs, and banking legislation. When we use words such as believe, expect, anticipate, or other such similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect managements analysis only as of the date
thereof.
Results of Operations
Overview
The primary source of our revenue is net interest income, which represents the difference between interest income on earning assets and
interest expense on liabilities used to fund those assets. Earning assets include loans, securities, and federal funds sold. Interest-bearing liabilities include deposits and borrowings. Sources of noninterest income include service charges on
deposit accounts, gains on the sale of securities, and other miscellaneous income.
For the year ended December 31, 2008 our net
income was $245,138, compared to a net income of $606,566 in 2007 and $873,335 in 2006. Our net income and per share income have declined as indicated in the following table (see page 42 for per share calculations):

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, the volume of interest-bearing assets and liabilities, and the composition of those assets and liabilities. Management strives to maximize net interest
income through prudent balance sheet administration, while maintaining appropriate risk levels as determined by senior management with the oversight of the Board of Directors. The net interest margin is a commonly utilized statistic
related to changes in interest income. The net interest margin is defined as the percentage of net interest income to average earning assets. Net interest income for the year ended
17
December 31, 2008 was $4,674,709. By comparison, net interest income for 2007 and 2006 was $4,022,010 and $3,651,564, respectively. The net interest
margin declined from 3.52% in 2006 and 3.27% in 2007 to 2.84% in 2008.
The decline in net interest margin can be primarily attributed to
the Banks asset-sensitive position in a declining interest rate environment in which rates on a portion of our loan portfolio adjusted faster than rates on time deposits and specific borrowed funds.
The following table on page 20, Average Balances, Interest Income/Expenses, and Average Yield/Rates, provides a detailed analysis of the
effective yields and rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. The average balances and other statistical data used in this table were calculated using daily average balances.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased from $510,462 and $566,465 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 to $838,587 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The primary increase in noninterest income in 2008 was
due to a gain of $264,625 on the sale of a security.
Noninterest Expense
The majority of the increase in noninterest expense components was related to salaries and employee benefits, which increased from $1,561,230 and
$1,866,270 in 2006 and 2007, respectively, to $2,145,123 in 2008. The increase from 2006 to 2007 can be attributed to additional staffing related to growth, while the increase in 2008 resulted from a further increase in staffing due to the opening
of our main branch and operations center in North Suffolk, as well as the addition of an Executive Vice President and Senior Loan Officer and overall salary increases during the year. A significant expense for the three years was premises and
equipment, of which depreciation was a major component for each period. Depreciation expense was $184,786, $212,635, and $344,019 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007, and 2008, respectively. In addition, professional fees have increased
significantly due to our ongoing use of consultants to comply with SEC mandates related to Auditing Standards No. 5 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (SOX 404).

Real estate construction loans generally consist of financing
the construction of one- to four-family dwellings and some nonfarm, nonresidential real estate. As of December 31, 2008, we had minimal real estate construction loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses
Management determines the Allowance for Loan Losses (the Allowance) based on an ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective because it requires material estimates,
including the amounts and timing of cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans. Those estimates may be subject to significant change. Increases to the Allowance are made by charges to the provision for loan losses, which is reflected on
the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the Allowance, and recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the Allowance.
The Allowance for Loan Losses consists of (1) a component for individual loan impairment recognized and measured pursuant to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and (2) components of collective loan impairment recognized pursuant to SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, including
a component that is unallocated. We maintain specific reserves for individually impaired loans pursuant to SFAS No. 114. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect
all amounts due (interest as well as principal) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. On a quarterly basis, management reviews all commercial and consumer relationships that have been classified as substandard or doubtful. Loans
are considered impaired when the borrower does not have the cash flow capacity or willingness to service the debt according to contractual terms, or it does not appear reasonable to assume the borrower will continue to pay according to the
contractual agreement. At December 31, 2008, the Bank had $676,566 of impaired loans, or 0.58% of total loans, compared to no impaired loans at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 and $1,339 in impaired loans at December 31, 2004. It is
the opinion of management that the Allowance is adequate to absorb any loss related to these loans.
Reserves established pursuant to the
provisions of SFAS No. 5 on collective loan impairment are primarily based on historical charge-off experience. However, reserves may be adjusted to reflect the effects of current conditions. The Bank considers information derived from its loan
risk ratings; internal observable data related to trends within the loan portfolio, including credit quality and concentrations, aging of the portfolio, and external observable data related to industry and general economic trends; and any
significant, relevant changes to the Banks policies and procedures. Each loan is assigned a risk grade by the account officer at origination. Risk grades are based on an assessment of conditions that may affect a borrowers
ability to meet contractual obligations under a loan agreement.
A portion of the Banks Allowance for Loan Loss (the
Allowance) is not allocated to any specific category of loans. This unallocated portion of the Allowance reflects managements best estimate of risk inherent in the calculation of the overall Allowance. The portion considered
unallocated may fluctuate from period to period based on managements evaluation of the factors affecting the assumptions used in calculating the Allowance, including historical loss experience and current economic conditions.
Although management uses the best information available to establish the Allowance, future adjustments to the Allowance may be necessary if economic
conditions are substantially different from the assumptions used in making the valuations.
At December 31, 2008 the Allowance for
Loan Losses stood at $1,687,284 and reflects an expense provision of $828,656 for the year 2008. As a percentage of total loans, the Allowance for 2008 and 2007 was 1.44% and 0.90%, respectively. The Allowance is primarily determined by
managements estimate of possible losses that are inherent in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is also guided by managements analysis of economic conditions.

Nonperforming Loans and Other Problem Assets
It is the Banks policy to discontinue accrual of interest income when a loan is 90 days past due as to interest and principal or when there is
serious doubt as to collectability, unless the estimated net realized value of collateral is sufficient to assure collection of principal balance and accrued interest. At year end 2008, management recognized $676,566 in total nonperforming loans
which were classified as impaired loans, compared to no impaired loans at year end 2007, 2006, and 2005 and $1,339 in impaired loans at year end 2004.
Potential Problem Loans
Our loan policy requires management to identify and maintain a list of potential problem loans,
including loans that are past due 90 days or more. A loan is added to the potential problem list when management becomes aware of information related to possible credit problems of the borrower that will cause doubt as to the ability of the borrower
to comply with current loan repayment terms.
Other Real Estate Owned
At December 31, 2008, the Bank had no other real estate owned (OREO). Our OREO policy is to initially record value at the lower of net loan principal balance or estimated fair market value less estimated selling
costs. The estimated fair value is determined by appraisal at the time of acquisition.
As of December 31, 2008, management identified
$676,566 as an impaired loan which was included within the Banks internal watch list with specific impairment reserves allocated to the loan. In January 2009 documents related to foreclosure of the collateral securing this loan were executed.
Management does not anticipate a loss that will exceed the reserve amount that was allocated to this loan at year end 2008 and believes the analysis of the current appraisal of the collateral will support the OREO value.
Deposits
Deposits represent the primary source of
funds and are comprised of demand deposits, savings deposits, and time deposits. Deposits at December 31, 2008 totaled $130,284,637 million compared to December 31, 2007 deposits of $113,748,150 million, and represent a 14.54% increase.
These deposits combined with other borrowed funds were the funding source for loan and investment growth.
23
Capital Adequacy
Capital management in a regulated financial services industry must properly balance return on equity to shareholders while maintaining sufficient capital levels and related risk-based capital ratios to satisfy
regulatory requirements. The Banks capital management strategies have been developed to maintain its well-capitalized position. Total capital at December 31, 2008 of $16,709,846 included $175,210 in comprehensive loss. The
Bank is considered by our Board of Directors, management, and regulators to be well-capitalized.
We are subject to various regulatory
capital requirements administered by federal and other bank regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material adverse effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and reclassifications 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 us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1
capital to average assets. As of December 31, 2008, we had met all minimum capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject and are categorized as well- capitalized. There are no conditions or events that management believes
have changed our category.
The following tables reflect the Banks capital ratios and the minimum capital ratios required by
regulators:

Liquidity
Liquidity is identified as the ability to generate or acquire sufficient amounts of cash when needed and at a reasonable cost to accommodate withdrawals, payments of debt, and increased loan demand. These events may
occur daily or in other short-term intervals in the normal operation of business. Historical trends help management predict time cycles and the amount of cash required. In assessing liquidity, management gives consideration to relevant factors
including stability of deposits, quality of assets, economy of market served, concentrations of business and industry, competition, and our overall financial condition. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash, due from banks, federal funds sold,
and securities in our available-for-sale portfolio. We also have access to substantial lines of credit from our correspondent banks, in addition to an arrangement to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank in aggregate of 30% of total assets and from
the Federal Reserve under certain conditions. Theses credit lines are available through our correspondent banks for short term liquidity needs and are subject to prevailing interest rates. In managements opinion, we maintain the ability to
generate sufficient amounts of cash to cover normal requirements and any additional needs which may arise, within realistic limitations.
Interest Rate
Sensitivity
Financial institutions can be exposed to several market risks which may impact the value or future earnings capacity of an
organization. Our primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is inherent in banking because as a financial institution, we derive a significant amount of the operating revenue from purchasing funds (customer deposits
and borrowings) at various terms and rates. These funds are invested into earning assets (loans, investments, etc.) at various terms and rates.
Interest rate risk is the exposure to fluctuations in our future earnings (earnings at risk) and value (value at risk) resulting from changes in interest rates. This exposure results from differences between the amounts of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities that re-price within a specific time period as a result of scheduled maturities and repayment and contractual interest rate changes.
The primary objective of our asset/liability management process is to maximize current and future net interest income within acceptable levels of
interest rate risk while satisfying liquidity and capital requirements. Management recognizes that a certain amount of interest rate risk is inherent and appropriate. The goal is to maintain a balance between risk and reward such that net interest
income is maximized while risk is maintained at an acceptable level.
Management strives to control the Banks exposure to interest
rate volatility, and we operate under policies and guidelines established by our Board of Directors, who set the level of acceptable risk by understanding, reviewing, and making decisions based on our risk position. In addition, pricing,
25
promotion, and product development activities are assessed in an effort to emphasize the loan and deposit term or repricing characteristics that best meet
current interest risk objectives. We use a variety of analytical systems and balance sheet tools to manage interest rate risk.
Gap Analysis
Gap analysis tools monitor the gap between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities. The Bank uses a
simulation model to forecast future balance sheet and income statement behavior. By studying the effects on net interest income of rising, stable, and falling interest rate scenarios, the Bank can position itself to take advantage of anticipated
interest rate movements by understanding the dynamic nature of its balance sheet components. We evaluate our securities, loan, and deposit portfolios to manage our interest rate risk position.
The following table on Gap Analysis indicates that, on a cumulative basis through one hundred and eighty days, the Bank reflects
rate-sensitive assets exceeding rate sensitive liabilities, resulting in an asset- sensitive position of $45 million. However, at 12 months, rate-sensitive liabilities exceed rate-sensitive assets, resulting in a liability-sensitive position. This
net liability-sensitive position was a result of $91.4 million in rate-sensitive assets and $92.4 million in rate-sensitive liabilities available for repricing during the next 12 months, which reflects a cumulative negative gap of $1 million. A
positive interest sensitivity gap results when interest-sensitive assets exceed interest-sensitive liabilities for a specific repricing horizon. The gap is negative when interest-sensitive liabilities exceed interest-sensitive assets, as
was the case at December 31, 2008. For a bank with a positive gap, rising interest rates are expected to have a positive effect on net interest income and falling rates would be expected to have the opposite effect. The following table on page
28 reflects the balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at the earlier of their repricing or maturity dates. Amounts of fixed-rate loans are reflected in the deposits maturity dates. Interest-bearing liabilities
with no contractual maturity, such as interest-bearing transaction accounts and savings deposits, are reflected at the earliest repricing interval due to contractual arrangements which give management the opportunity to vary the rates paid on these
deposits within a period of thirty or fewer days; however, the Bank is under no obligation to adjust the rates paid on those deposits within any given period.
Fixed-rate time deposits and advances are reflected at their contractual maturity dates, whereas variable-rate advances are reflected at the earliest repricing interval since they were borrowed under the daily rate
credit option and re-price daily.

Critical Accounting Policies
The reporting policies of the Company and the Bank are in accordance
with generally accepted accounting policies of the United States of America. Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. The Banks single most
critical accounting policy relates to the Allowance for Loan Losses, which reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of our borrowers to make required loan payments. If the financial condition of the Banks borrowers were to
deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, adjustments to the Banks estimates would be made and additional provisions for loan losses could be required. Further discussion of the estimates used in determining
the Allowance for Loan Losses is contained in the discussion on Allowance for Loan Losses on pages 23 and 24.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements affecting the Bank are described in Note 18 of the Notes to Financial Statements
included in Item 8.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
First Bankshares, Inc.
Suffolk, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of First Bankshares, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Bankshares, Inc. and
subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

First Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007
Note 1 Organization
On February 23, 2008, SuffolkFirst Banks Board of Directors announced the approval of the formation of a bank holding company, First Bankshares, Inc. (First Bankshares, the Company,
we, our, or us), of which the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary on August 15, 2008. The reorganization was consummated through a share exchange in which each of the Banks shareholders received one
share of First Bankshares common stock in exchange for each of their shares of the Banks common stock. The Bank operates under the laws of Virginia and the Rules and Regulations of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC). SuffolkFirst Bank (the Bank) was incorporated on December 14, 2001; chartered on December 10, 2002; and began operations on January 27, 2003 as a Virginia chartered bank engaged in lending
and deposit-collecting activities in Suffolk, Virginia.
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
conform to the general practices within the banking industry. The following is a description of the significant accounting and reporting policies the Company follows in preparing and presenting its financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of First Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments with original maturities, or maturities when purchased, of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash, due from banks, federal funds sold, and short term debt securities.
Securities
Marketable securities of the Bank are
classified into three categories:
|
(1)
|
debt securities that the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost.
Amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts are adjusted on a basis which approximates the level yield method;
|
|
(2)
|
debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and reported at
fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in net income; and
|
|
(3)
|
debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at
fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from net income and reported in a separate component of shareholders equity.
|
38
First Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Bank does not engage in trading securities or in held-to-maturity
securities. Gains or losses on disposition of securities are based on the net proceeds and adjusted carrying values of the securities called or sold, using the specific identification method.
A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to net income, resulting in
the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.
Equity Securities Restricted
As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), the Bank is required to own shares of FHLB capital stock in an amount equal to at least 0.20% of total
assets plus 4.50% of any outstanding advances.
As a member of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB), the Bank is required to own shares of FRB
capital stock in an amount equal to 6.0% of total common stock and capital surplus.
FHLB stock and FRB stock are carried at cost.
Loans
Loans are carried at their
principal amount outstanding. Interest income is recorded as earned on an accrual basis. The Bank uses the allowance method in providing for possible loan losses. The Allowance for Loan Losses is based on managements estimate of the amount
needed to maintain the Allowance for Loan Losses at an adequate level to cover known and inherent risk of loss in the loan portfolio. In determining the provision amount, management gives consideration to current and anticipated economic conditions,
the growth and composition of the loan portfolio, and the relationship of the Allowance for Loan Losses to outstanding loans, among other factors. Loan origination fees, net of origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the
yield (interest income) of the related loans.
Management believes that the Allowance for Loan Losses is adequate. While management uses
the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments may be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used.
In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Banks Allowance for Loan Losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to
the Allowance for Loan Losses based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.
Management
considers loans to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors that influence managements
judgments include, but are not limited to, loan payment pattern, source of repayment, and value of any collateral. A loan would not be considered impaired if an insignificant delay in loan payment occurs and management expects to collect all amounts
due. The major sources for identification of loans to be evaluated for impairment include past due and nonaccrual reports, internally generated lists of certain risk grades, loan review personnels analyses, and regulatory examinations.
Impaired loans are measured using either the discounted expected cash flow method or the value of collateral method. When the ultimate collectability of an impaired loans principal is in doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are
applied to principal. At December 31, 2008, the Company had $676,566 of impaired loans, or 0.58% of total loans.

For the years ended December 31, 2008 and

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Premises, Equipment, and Depreciation
Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated over the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized over a term which includes the remaining lease term and probable renewal periods. It is the Banks policy to charge maintenance and repairs to
expense as incurred and to capitalize major additions and improvements and depreciate the cost of their estimated useful lives as follows:
|
|
|
Building and Improvements
|
|
5 to 40 years
|
Equipment, Furniture, and Fixtures
|
|
3 to 20 years
|
Income Taxes
The Company computes its income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered in income. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance until it is
probable that these tax benefits will be realized. The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007 with no effect to the consolidated financial statements.
Comprehensive Income
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income (SFAS 130), establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. SFAS 130 was issued to address concerns over the practice
of reporting elements of comprehensive income directly in equity. In accordance with the provisions of the SFAS 130, the Company has included in the accompanying financial statements comprehensive income resulting from such activities. Comprehensive
income consists of the net income and net unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale.
These amounts are reported net of
the income tax benefit (expense) less any related allowance for realization. Also, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is included as a separate disclosure within the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Earnings per Share
Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 2,276,298 and 2,273,013 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 2,270,798 for the year ended
December 31, 2006 (adjusted for the stock split declared on December 21, 2006). The table on page 42, Basic and Dilutive Income per Share, reflects earnings per share information.
Advertising
The Bank expenses advertising costs when
incurred.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the amounts of income and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock Split
On December 21, 2006 the Banks Board of Directors declared an 11-for-10 stock split payable on January 31, 2007 to shareholders of record January 3, 2007. Each shareholder received one
(1) additional share for each ten (10) shares held, with fractional shares rounded up.
Stock Options
Pro forma
information regarding net income and earnings per share have been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options using
the fair value method, as presented below for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
The following is a summary of the basic and
dilutive income per share calculation for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006:

The unrealized loss positions on securities at December 31, 2008 were directly related to
interest rate movements, as there is minimal credit risk exposure in these investments. Investment securities with unrealized losses have interest rates that are less than the current interest rate environment and not a result of credit impairment.
All securities are investment grade. Management does not consider the unrealized losses to be other than temporary based on volatility of the securities market price. The securities portfolio reflects unrealized losses of $1,076,329 and includes
individual securities with unrealized losses ranging from $152 to $501,456.

In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as
amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123(R), the Company has adopted the disclosure-only option and elected to apply the
provisions of APB No. 25 for financial statement purposes. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income for these plans.
Note 11 401(k) Plan
The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan and makes a matching contribution to the plan
in the amount of 60% of the first 6% of the elective contributions made by participants. The Companys expense for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $46,585, $36,659, and $34,005, respectively.
Note 12 Shareholders Equity
Under Virginia
law, no dividend may be declared or paid out of a Virginia charter banks paid-in capital. First Bankshares, Inc., as the holding company for SuffolkFirst Bank, may be prohibited under Virginia law from the payment of dividends if the Virginia
Bureau of Financial Institutions determines that a limitation of dividends is in the public interest and is necessary to ensure the our financial soundness; however, we may also be permitted the payment of dividends not otherwise allowed by Virginia
law. The Subsidiary (Bank) generated start-up losses in 2001 and 2002 and accumulated losses in 2003 and 2004. Although the Bank had profitable years in 2005 and 2006, the Bank had negative retained earnings of $189,246 at year end 2006 and
therefore was not permitted under Virginia Banking Laws to pay cash dividends to its Shareholders. The Company had positive retained earnings in 2008 and 2007 of $662,458 and $417,320, respectively.
Note 13 Regulatory Matters
We are subject to various
regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
51
First Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007
Note 13 Regulatory Matters (continued)
action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Companys assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet
items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by
regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total capital and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital to
average assets (as defined).
Management believes that we meet all capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject at
December 31, 2008 and 2007.
The Company is considered to be well-capitalized under the regulatory definition of a well-capitalized

Note 14 Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, there are outstanding off-balance sheet commitments related to extension of credit which are not reflected in the
financial statements. These commitments represent no more than the normal lending risk that we commit to our borrowers. If these commitments are drawn, we will obtain collateral as deemed necessary based on managements credit evaluation of the
borrower.
Management believes that these commitments can be funded through normal operations.

Note 15 Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has a diversified loan portfolio consisting of commercial, real estate, and consumer (installment) loans. Our customers are primarily
residents of or operate business ventures in our market area. At December 31, 2008, loans for commercial and business purposes, including working capital and equipment, represented $87,074,476, or 74.27% of total loans, while loans secured by
real estate located beyond or within our immediate market represented $27,698,781, or 23.99% of total loans. Therefore, a major factor in determining debtors ability to honor contracts, as well as the Banks ability to realize the value
of any underlying collateral, is influenced by economic conditions in these market areas.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007
Note 15 Concentration of Credit Risk (continued)
The Bank has purchased loans from other banks (participation loans) that include hotel loans. Hotel loans are identified as
a concentration of credit as it relates to the percentage of total outstanding loans. Hotel loans at December 31, 2008 represented $11,995,070, or 10.23% of the loan portfolio.
The Bank maintains its cash balances with several financial institutions. As of October 2008, these accounts are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. At
December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Bank had $856 and $290,830, respectively, of uninsured funds in these financial institutions.
Note 16 Supplemental
Cash Flow Information
The Bank paid $5,578,074, $4,237,966, and $2,952,274 in interest for the years ended December 31, 2008,
2007, and 2006. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Company paid Federal income taxes of $435,000, $264,500, and $0, respectively.
Note 17 Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments, requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values of its financial instruments.
Cash and Due from Banks and Federal
Funds Sold
The carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Securities
The fair value of securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve
Bank (FRB) stock, is estimated based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers. The fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices of similar instruments, adjusted for differences
between the quoted instruments and the instruments being valued. The carrying value of FHLB and FRB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of each institution.
Loans
Loans are classified by type, such as commercial, real estate (residential real estate and
other), loans to individuals, and all other loans. Each loan category is further classified by fixed- and adjustable-rate interest terms. The Bank has not obtained or developed a fair value of loans model necessary to make the estimate. Management
believes the purchase of an independent evaluation software model is not cost effective at this time.
Federal Funds Purchased and Borrowed Funds
Federal funds purchased are bought and sold daily, while borrowed funds mature at various future dates. Fair values are currently not
estimated.

For the years ended December 31, 2008 and

Note 17 Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Accrued Interest
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
Deposits
The balance of demand deposits, NOW accounts, and money market and savings deposits reflects the fair value
payable on demand to the accountholder. Management believes the purchase of an independent evaluation software model to determine the fair value estimates of fixed-maturity time deposits and certificates of deposit is not cost effective at this
time.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit
The only amounts recorded for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are the deferred fees arising from these unrecognized financial instruments. These deferred fees are not deemed significant at
December 31, 2008 and 2007, and as such, the related fair values have not been estimated.
The carrying amounts and approximate fair
values of the Companys financial instruments are as follows at December 31, 2008 and 2007:

Note 17 Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and based on
relevant market information, as well as information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Companys entire holdings of a particular
financial instrument. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in
nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future
business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets that are not considered financial assets include deferred tax assets, premises and equipment, and other real estate owned. In
addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

Note 19 Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS
157). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 has been applied prospectively as of the beginning of the year.
In February 2008 Staff Position No. 157-2 (FSP 157-2) was issued. FSP 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for certain nonfinancial assets
and nonfinancial liabilities except for those items which are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for such nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and to interim periods within those fiscal years.
FAS 157 defines fair
value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires the use of
observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1
|
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 2
|
|
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in active 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 3
|
|
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
|
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair
value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Available-for-Sale Securities
Securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy
where quoted market prices are available in an active market. Level 1 securities 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 flows. Level 2 securities 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 Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. Currently, all of the Companys securities are considered to
be Level 2 securities.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a
non-recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007
Note 19 Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (continued)
Impaired Loans
Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of estimated future
cash flows using the loans existing rate or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the Allowance for Loan Losses (the Allowance) is allocated to impaired loans if the value of such loans is
deemed to be less than the unpaid balance. If these allocations cause the Allowance for Loan Losses to increase, such increases are reported as a component of the provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the Allowance when
Management believes the uncollectability of a loan is confirmed. At December 31, 2008, the Bank had $676,566 of impaired loans, or 0.58% of total loans, compared to no impaired loans at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 and $1,339 in
impaired loans at December 31, 2004. It is the opinion of management that the Allowance is adequate to absorb any loss related to these loans. The valuation would be considered Level 3.
Note 20 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006 the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which clarifies how companies should measure fair value when they are required by U.S. GAAP to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure. SFAS
No. 157 establishes a common definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements to eliminate differences in current practice that exist in measuring
fair value under the existing accounting standards. The definition of fair value in SFAS No. 157 retains the notion of exchange price; however, it focuses on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability
(an exit price), rather than the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability (an entry price). Under SFAS No. 157, a fair value measure should reflect all of the assumptions that market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique, the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset, and the risk of nonperformance. To increase consistency and
comparability in fair value measures, SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in valuation techniques between observable inputs that reflect quoted prices in active markets, inputs other than
quoted prices with observable market data, and unobservable data (a companys own data). SFAS No. 157 requires disclosures detailing (1) the extent to which companys measure assets and liabilities at fair value, (2) the
methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and (3) the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This
Statement permits companies to elect on an instrument-by-instrument basis to fair value certain financial assets and financial liabilities with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as they occur. The election to fair value a financial asset
or financial liability is generally irrevocable. These Statements are effective January 1, 2008 for calendar year companies.
Note 21 Federal Funds
Purchased and Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings
At December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Bank had federal funds purchased of $0,
$2,547,000, and $0 and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings of $16,000,000, $45,000,000, and $15,000,000, respectively. Interest on federal funds purchased is paid on a daily basis. Interest only is payable on a monthly basis on FHLB borrowings
until their maturity. The following table on page 60 summarizes federal funds purchased and FHLB borrowings for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006.

The convertible advance is at a fixed interest rate until January 25, 2010, at which time, if
the Bank does not retire the debt, the FHLB has the option to convert to the variable interest rate and spread being offered at that time. The borrowings are collateralized by pledged securities with a total carrying value of $26,499,119 at
December 31, 2008.
Note 23 Subsequent Event
As of December 31, 2008, management identified $676,566 as an impaired loan which was included within the Banks internal watch list with specific impairment reserves allocated to the loan. In January 2009
documents related to foreclosure of the collateral securing this loan were executed. Management does not anticipate a loss that will exceed the reserve amount that was allocated to this loan at year end 2008 and believes the analysis of the current
appraisal of the collateral will support the Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) value.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that material information is accumulated
and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required, management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files or submits pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure
of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in periodic reports.
Managements Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Companys internal control over financial reporting is designed to 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.
Because of
its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and presentation.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework. Based on this
assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to
attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements assessment in this annual report.
