Competition


There is significant competition among banks in the Company’s market areas. In addition, theThe Company also competes with other providers of financial services, such as thrifts, savings and loan associations, credit unions, consumer finance companies, securities firms, insurance companies, insurance agencies, commercial finance and leasing companies, full service brokerage firms, and discount brokerage firms. The Company faces substantial competition for deposits and loans throughout its market areas. The primary factors in competing for deposits are interest rates, personalized services, the quality and range of financial services, convenience of office locations, automated services and office hours. Competition for deposits comes primarily from other commercial banks, savings institutions, credit unions, mutual funds and other investment alternatives. The primary factors in competing for commercial and business loans are interest rates, loan origination fees, the quality and range of lending services and personalized service. Competition for origination of mortgage loans comes primarily from savings institutions, mortgage banking firms, mortgage brokers, other commercial banks and insurance companies. Factors which affect competition include the general and local economic conditions, current interest rate levels and volatility in the

mortgage markets. Some of the Company’s competitors have greater resources and, as such, may have higher lending limits and may offer other services that are not provided by the Company. Competition could intensify in the future as a result of industry consolidation, the increasing availability of products and services from non-banks, greater technological developments in the industry, and banking regulatory reform. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Executive Overview – Competition” in Item 7 hereof.

Regulation and Supervision


General


The supervision and regulation of the Company and its subsidiaries by theapplicable federal and state banking agencies is intended primarily for the protection of depositors, the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), and the banking system as a whole, and not for the protection of stockholders or creditors. The banking agencies have broad enforcement power over bank holding companies and banks, including the power to impose substantial fines and other penalties for violations of laws and regulations.


The following description summarizes some of the laws to which the Company and the Bank are subject. References in the following description to applicable statutes and regulations are brief summaries of these statutes and regulations, do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations. A change in statutes, regulations or regulatory policies applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries could have a material effect on the business of the Company.


The Dodd-Frank Act


On July 21, 2010, sweeping financial regulatory reform legislation entitled the Dodd-Frank“Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection ActAct” (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act will likely result in dramaticimplements far-reaching changes across the financial regulatory system, somelandscape, including provisions that, among other things:

Centralizes responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, responsible for implementing, examining and enforcing compliance with federal consumer financial laws (“CFPB”).

Requires financial holding companies, such as the Company, to be well capitalized and well managed as of which become effective immediatelyJuly 21, 2011. Bank holding companies and some of which will not become effective until various future dates.  Implementationbanks must also be both well capitalized and well managed in order to engage in interstate bank acquisitions.

Imposes comprehensive regulation of the Dodd-Frank Act will require many new rules to be made by various federal regulatory agencies over the next several years. Uncertainty remains until final rulemaking is complete as to the ultimate impact of the Dodd-Frank Act,over-the-counter derivatives market, which could have a material adverse impact either on the financial services industry as a whole or on the Bank’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Provisionswould include certain provisions that would effectively prohibit insured depository institutions from conducting certain derivatives businesses in the legislation that affectinstitutions themselves.

Implements corporate governance revisions, including with regard to executive compensation and proxy access by shareholders.

Made permanent the $250,000 limit for federal deposit insurance assessments,and increased the cash limit of Securities Investor Protection Corporation protection from $100,000 to $250,000 and provides unlimited federal deposit insurance until January 1, 2013 for noninterest bearing demand transaction accounts at all insured depository institutions.

Repealed the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and interchange fees could increaseother accounts.

Amended the costs associated with deposits and place limitations on certain revenues those deposits may generate. The Dodd-FrankElectronic Fund Transfer Act includes provisions that,to, among other things, will:give the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve Board”) the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and enforces a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer.


Increased the authority of the Federal Reserve Board to examine bank holding companies, such as the Company, and their non-bank subsidiaries.

·Centralize responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new agency, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (“CFPB”), responsible for implementing, examining, and enforcing compliance with federal consumer financial laws. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act permits states to adopt consumer protection laws and regulations that are stricter than those regulations promulgated by the CFPB.
·Create the Financial Stability Oversight Council that will recommend to the Federal Reserve Board increasingly strict rules for capital, leverage, liquidity, risk management and other requirements as companies grow in size and complexity.
·Provide mortgage reform provisions regarding a customer’s ability to repay, restricting variable-rate lending by requiring that the ability to repay variable-rate loans be determined by using the maximum rate that will apply during the first five years of a variable-rate loan term, and making more loans subject to provisions for higher cost loans, new disclosures, and certain other revisions.
·Change the assessment base for federal deposit insurance from the amount of insured deposits to consolidated assets less tangible capital, eliminate the ceiling on the size of the DIF, and increase the floor on the size of the DIF, which generally will require an increase in the level of assessments for institutions with assets in excess of $10 billion.
·Make permanent the $250 thousand limit for federal deposit insurance and provide unlimited federal deposit insurance until January 1, 2013, for noninterest-bearing demand transaction accounts at all insured depository institutions.
·Restrict the preemption of state law by federal law and disallow subsidiaries and affiliates of national banks, such as the Bank, from availing themselves of such preemption.
·Require the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) to seek to make its capital requirements for national banks, such as the Bank, countercyclical so that capital requirements increase in times of economic expansion and decrease in times of economic contraction.
·Require financial holding companies, such as the Company, to be well capitalized and well managed as of July 21, 2011. Bank holding companies and banks must also be both well capitalized and well managed in order to acquire banks located outside their home state.
·Mandate certain corporate governance and executive compensation matters be implemented, including (i)  an advisory vote on executive compensation by a public company’s stockholders; (ii) enhancement of independence requirements for compensation committee members; (iii) adoption of incentive-based compensation clawback policies for executive officers; and (iv) adoption of proxy access rules allowing stockholders of publicly traded companies to nominate candidates for election as a director and have those nominees included in a company's proxy materials.

·Repeal the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transactions accounts.
·Amend the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to, among other things, give the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer.

Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact on the Company, its customers or the financial industry more generally. SomeProvisions in the legislation that affect deposit insurance assessments, payment of interest on demand deposits and interchange fees could increase the rules that have been proposed and, in some cases, adopted to complycosts associated with the Dodd-Frank Act’s mandates are discussed belowdeposits as well as place limitations on certain revenues those deposits may generate.

The Company

The Company is a financial holding company pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLB Act”) and a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHCA”). Accordingly, the Company is subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve Board”).Board. The BHCA, the GLB Act, and other federal laws subject financial and bank holding companies to particular restrictions on the types of activities in which they may engage and to a range of supervisory requirements and activities, including regulatory enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations. The BHCA generally provides for “umbrella” regulation of financial holding companies, such as the Company, by the Federal Reserve Board, and for functional regulation of banking activities by bank regulators, securities activities by securities regulators, and insurance activities by insurance regulators.


Regulatory Restrictions on Dividends; Source of Strength. It is the policy of the Federal Reserve Board that bank holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock only from income available over the past year and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s expected future needs and financial condition. The policy provides that bank holding companies should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines the bank holding company’s ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries.


Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to each of its banking subsidiaries and commit resources to their support. The Dodd-Frank Act codified this policy as a statutory requirement. Under this requirement, the Company is expected to commit resources to support the Bank, including at times when the Company may not be in a financial position to provide such resources. As discussed below, a bank holding company in certain circumstances could be required to guarantee the capital plan of an undercapitalized banking subsidiary.


Scope of Permissible Activities. Under the BHCA, bank holding companies generally may not acquire a direct or indirect interest in or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company or engage in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries, except that it may engage in, directly or indirectly, certain activities that the Federal Reserve Board determined to be closely related to banking or managing and controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the GLB Act eliminated the barriers to affiliations among banks, securities firms, insurance companies and other financial service providers and permits bank holding companies to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature. The GLB Act defines “financial in nature” to include securities underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking activities and activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking. No regulatory approval is generally required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board.


Under the GLB Act, a bank holding company may become a financial holding company by filing a declaration with the Federal Reserve Board if each of its subsidiary banks is well-capitalizedwell capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) prompt corrective action provisions, is well managed and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (“CRA”). The Company elected financial holding company status in December 2006. Beginning in July 2011, the Company’s financial holding company status will also dependdepends upon it maintaining its status as “well capitalized” and “well managed’ under applicable Federal Reserve Board regulations. If a financial holding company ceases to meet these requirements, the Federal Reserve Board may impose corrective capital and/or managerial requirements on the financial holding company and place limitations on its ability to conduct the broader financial activities permissible for financial holding companies. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board may require divestiture of the holding company’s depository institutions if the deficiencies persist.

5

Anti-Tying Restrictions. Bank holding companies and their affiliates are prohibited from tying the provision of certain services, such as extensions of credit, to other services offered by a holding company or its affiliates.

Stock Repurchases.A bank holding company is required to give the Federal Reserve Board prior notice of any redemption or repurchase of its own equity securities, if the consideration to be paid, together with the consideration paid for any repurchases or redemptions in the preceding year, is equal to 10% or more of the company’s consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve Board may oppose the transaction if it believes that the transaction would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law or regulation.


Capital Adequacy Requirements. The Federal Reserve Board has promulgated capital adequacy guidelines for use in its examination and supervision of bank holding companies. If a bank holding company’s capital falls below minimum required levels, then the bank holding company must implement a plan to increase its capital and its ability to pay dividends, or making acquisitions of new banks or engaging in certain other activities such as issuing brokered deposits may be restricted or prohibited.


The Federal Reserve Board currently uses two types of capital adequacy guidelines for holding companies, a two-tiered risk-based capital guideline and a leverage capital ratio guideline. The two-tiered risk-based capital guideline assigns risk weightings to all assets and certain off-balance sheet items of the holding company’s operations, and then establishes a minimum ratio of the holding company’s Tier 1 capital to the aggregate dollar amount of risk-weighted assets (which amount is usually less than the aggregate dollar amount of such assets without risk weighting) and a minimum ratio of the holding company’s total capital (Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital, as adjusted) to the aggregate dollar amount of such risk-weighted assets. The leverage ratio guideline establishes a minimum ratio of the holding company’s Tier 1 capital to its total tangible assets (total assets less goodwill and certain identifiable intangibles), without risk-weighting.


As discussed below, the Bank is subject to similar capital requirements.

Under both guidelines, Tier 1 capital is defined to include: common shareholders’ equity (including retained earnings), qualifying non-cumulativenoncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, qualifying cumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, trust preferred securities, and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries (limited to a maximum of 25% of Tier 1 capital)., and certain trust preferred securities. The Dodd-Frank Act excludes trust preferred securities issued after May 19, 2010, from being included in Tier 1 capital, unless the issuing company is a bank holding company with less than $500 million in total assets. Trust preferred securities issued prior to that date will continue to count as Tier 1 capital for bank holding companies with less than $15 billion in total assets, such as the Company. Goodwill and most intangible assets are deducted from Tier 1 capital. For purposes of the total risk-based capital guidelines, Tier 2 capital (sometimes referred to as “supplementary capital”) is defined to include: (subjectinclude, subject to limitations),limitations: perpetual preferred stock not included in Tier 1 capital, intermediate-term preferred stock and any related surplus, certain hybrid capital instruments, perpetual debt and mandatory convertible debt securities, allowances for loan and lease losses, and intermediate-term subordinated debt instruments (subject to limitations).instruments. The maximum amount of qualifying Tier 2 capital is 100% of qualifying Tier 1 capital. For purposes of the total capital guideline, total capital equals Tier 1 capital, plus qualifying Tier 2 capital, minus investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, reciprocal holdings of bank holding company capital securities, and deferred tax assets and other deductions. The Federal Reserve Board’s current capital adequacy guidelines require that a bank holding company maintain a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4.00% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8.00%. At December 31, 2010,2011, the Company’s ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets was 14.07%16.89% and its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 15.33%18.15%.


In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal Reserve Board uses a leverage ratio as an additional tool to evaluate the capital adequacy of bank holding companies. The leverage ratio is a company’s Tier 1 capital divided by its average total consolidated assets. Certain highly rated bank holding companies may maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3.00%, but other bank holding companies are required to maintain a leverage ratio of 4.00% or more, depending on their overall condition. At December 31, 2010,2011, the Company’s leverage ratio was 9.44%11.50%.


The federal banking agencies’ risk-based and leverage ratios are minimum supervisory ratios generally applicable to banking organizations that meet certain specified criteria, assuming that they have the highest regulatory rating. Banking organizations not meeting these criteria are expected to operate with capital positions well above the minimum ratios. The federal bank regulatory agencies may set capital requirements for a particular banking organization that are higher than the minimum ratios when circumstances warrant. Federal Reserve Board guidelines also provide that banking organizations experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets.


The current risk-based capital guidelines that apply to the Company and the Bank are based on the 1988 capital accord of the International Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, a committee of central banks and bank supervisors, as implemented by the Federal Reserve Board and the OCC.Board. In 2004, the Basel Committee published a new capital accord, which is referred to as “Basel II,” to replace Basel I. Basel II provides two approaches for setting capital standards for credit risk: an internal ratings-based approach tailored to individual institutions’ circumstances and a standardized approach that bases risk weightings on external credit assessments to a much greater extent than permitted in existing risk-based capital guidelines, which became effective in 2008 for large or “core” international banks (total assets of $250 billion or more or consolidated foreign exposuresexposure of $10 billion or more). Other U.S. banking organizations can elect to adopt the requirements of this rule (if they meet applicable qualification requirements), but they are not required to apply them. Basel II emphasizes internal assessment of credit, market and operational risk, as well as supervisory assessment and market discipline in determining minimum capital requirements.

6

In December 2010 and January 2011, the Basel Committee published the final texts of reforms on capital and liquidity, which is referred to as “Basel III.” Although Basel III is intended to be implemented by participating countries for large, internationally active banks, its provisions are likely to be considered by United States banking regulators in developing new regulations applicable to other banks in the United States. Basel III will require bank holding companies and their bank subsidiaries to maintain substantially more capital, with a greater emphasis on common equity. The implementation of the Basel III final framework will commence January 1, 2013. On that date, banking institutions will be required to meet the following minimum capital ratios: (i) 3.5% Common Equity Tier 1 (generally consisting of common shares and retained earnings) to risk-weighted assets; (ii) 4.5% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets; and (iii) 8.0% Total capital to risk-weighted assets.

When fully phased-in on January 1, 2019, and if implemented by the U.S. banking agencies, Basel III will require banks to maintain:

a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer,”


a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer,

·a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer,”

a minimum ratio of Total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer, and

·a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer,

a minimum leverage ratio of 3%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to balance sheet exposures plus certain off-balance sheet exposures.

·a minimum ratio of Total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer, and
·a minimum leverage ratio of 3%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to balance sheet exposures plus certain off-balance sheet exposures.

Basel III also includes the following significant provisions:

An additional countercyclical capital buffer to be imposed by applicable national banking regulators periodically at their discretion, with advance notice.


Restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses applicable when capital ratios fall within the buffer zone.

·An additional countercyclical capital buffer to be imposed by applicable national banking regulators periodically at their discretion, with advance notice.

Deduction from common equity of deferred tax assets that depend on future profitability to be realized.

·Restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses applicable when capital ratios fall within the buffer zone.

For capital instruments issued on or after January 13, 2013 (other than common equity), a loss-absorbency requirement that the instrument must be written off or converted to common equity if a triggering event occurs, either pursuant to applicable law or at the direction of the banking regulator. A triggering event is an event that would cause the banking organization to become nonviable without the write off or conversion, or without an injection of capital from the public sector.

·Deduction from common equity of deferred tax assets that depend on future profitability to be realized.
·For capital instruments issued on or after January 13, 2013 (other than common equity), a loss-absorbency requirement that the instrument must be written off or converted to common equity if a triggering event occurs, either pursuant to applicable law or at the direction of the banking regulator.  A triggering event is an event that would cause the banking organization to become nonviable without the write-off or conversion, or without an injection of capital from the public sector.

Since the Basel III framework is not self-executing, the rules and standards promulgated under Basel III require that the U.S. federal banking regulators adopt them prior to becoming effective in the U.S. Although U.S. federal banking regulators have expressed support for Basel III, the timing and scope of its implementation, as well as any potential modifications or adjustments that may result during the implementation process, are not yet known.


In addition to Basel III, the

The Dodd-Frank Act requires or permits the federal banking agencies to adopt regulations affecting banking institutions’ capital requirements in a number of respects, including potentially more stringent capital requirements for systemically important financial institutions. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Federal Reserve Board, the OCCOffice of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) and the FDIC to adopt regulations imposing a continuing “floor” of the Basel I-based capital requirements in cases where the Basel II-based capital requirements and any changes in capital regulations resulting from Basel III otherwise would permit lower requirements. In December 2010, the Federal Reserve Board, the OCC and the FDIC issued a joint notice of proposed rulemaking that would implement this requirement.


requirement, which the agencies implemented as proposed, effective July 28, 2011. This final rule applies to large international banks (total assets of $250 billion or more or consolidated foreign exposure of $10 billion or more) and, therefore, will not have any immediate impact on the Company or the Bank.

The BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank, if after such acquisition it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. In approving bank acquisitions by bank holding companies, the Federal Reserve Board is required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding company and the banks concerned, the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, and various competitive factors.


Incentive Compensation. In June 2010, the Federal Reserve Board, the OCC and the FDIC issued their final guidance on incentive compensation policies intended to ensure that the incentive compensation policies of banking organizations do not undermine the safety and soundness of such organizations by encouraging excessive risk taking. The final guidance,, which covers all employees that have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of an organization, is based upon the key principles that a banking organization’s incentive compensation arrangements should (i) provide incentives that do not encourage risk taking beyond the organization’s ability to effectively identify and manage risks, (ii) be compatible with effective internal controls and risk management, and (iii) be supported by strong corporate governance, including active and effective oversight by the organization’s board of directors. The Federal Reserve Board indicated that all banking organizations are to evaluate their incentive compensation arrangements and related risk management, controls, and corporate governance processes and immediately address deficiencies in these arrangements or processes that are inconsistent with safety and soundness.

The Federal Reserve Board will review, as part of the regular, risk-focused examination process, the incentive compensation arrangements of banking organizations, such as the Company, that are not “large, complex banking organizations.” These reviews will be tailored to each organization based on the scope and complexity of the organization’s activities and the prevalence of incentive compensation arrangements. The findings of the supervisory initiatives will be included in reports of examination. Deficiencies will be incorporated into the organization’s supervisory ratings, which can affect the organization’s ability to make acquisitions and take other actions. Enforcement actions may be taken against a banking organization if its incentive compensation arrangements, or related risk management control or governance processes, pose a risk to the organization’s safety and soundness and the organization is not taking prompt and effective measures to correct the deficiencies.


In February 2011, the Federal Reserve Board, the OCC and the FDIC approved a joint proposed rulemaking to implement Section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which prohibits incentive-based compensation arrangements that encourage inappropriate risk taking by covered financial institutions and are deemed to be excessive, or that may lead to material losses.


The scope and content of the U.S. banking regulators’ policies on executive compensation are continuing to develop and are likely to continue evolving in the near future. It cannot be determined at this time whether compliance with such policies will adversely affect the Company’s ability to hire, retain and motivate its key employees.


The Bank


The

Effective with the close of business on June 28, 2011, the Bank isconverted its charter from a national association and is subject to supervision and regulation bya Virginia state-chartered banking institution. The Bank will continue operating under the OCC. Since the depositsname First Community Bank. The charter conversion does not affect insurance coverage of the BankBank’s deposits, which are insured by the FDIC to the maximum amounts permitted by law, and does not affect the financial services or products provided by the Bank. As a Virginia state-chartered bank, the Bank is also subject to supervisionsupervised and regulationregulated by the FDIC. Because the Federal Reserve Board regulates the Company,Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions (the “Virginia Bureau”) and because the Bank isas a member of the Federal Reserve, System,the Bank’s primary federal regulator is the Federal Reserve Board also has regulatory authorityBank of Richmond (“FRB”), both of which directly affectsare based in the Bank.

Company’s home state of Virginia. The regulations of these agencies govern most aspects of the Bank’s business, including required reserves against deposits, loans, investments, mergers and acquisitions, borrowing, dividends and location and number of branch offices.

Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders. Transactions between the Bank and its nonbankingnon-banking subsidiaries and/or affiliates, including the Company, are subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. In general, Section 23A imposes limits on the amount of such transactions, and also requires certain levels of collateral for loans to affiliated parties. It also limits the amount of advances to third parties which are collateralized by the securities or obligations of the Company or its subsidiaries.


Affiliate transactions are also subject to Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act which generally requires that certain transactions between the Bank and its affiliates be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the Bank, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with or involving other nonaffiliatednon-affiliated persons. The Federal Reserve Board has issued Regulation W which codifies prior regulations under Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and interpretive guidance with respect to affiliate transactions.


The Dodd-Frank Act generally enhances the restrictions on transactions with affiliates under Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, including an expansion of the definition of “covered transactions” and an increase in the amount of time for which collateral requirements regarding covered credit transactions must be satisfied. Insider transaction limitations are expanded through the strengthening of loan restrictions to insiders and the expansion of the types of transactions subject to the various limits, including derivatives transactions, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending or borrowing transactions. Restrictions are also placed on certain asset sales to and from an insider to an institution, including requirements that such sales be on market terms and, in certain circumstances, approved by the institution'sinstitution’s board of directors.


The restrictions on loans to directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and their related interests contained in the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O apply to all insured institutions and their subsidiaries and holding companies. These restrictions include limits on loans to one borrower and conditions that must be met before such a loan can be made. There is also an aggregate limitation on all loans to such persons. These loans cannot exceed the institution’s total unimpaired capital and surplus, and the FDIC may determine that a lesser amount is appropriate.


Restrictions on Distribution of Subsidiary Bank Dividends and Assets. Dividends paid by the Bank have provided the Company’s operating funds and for the foreseeable future it is anticipated that dividends paid by the Bank to the Company will continue to be the Company’s primary source of operating funds.

Capital adequacy requirements of the OCCapplicable to insured depository institutions serve to limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank. TheUnder federal law, the Bank cannot pay a dividend if, after paying the dividend, it wouldwill be classified as “undercapitalized.” See “Regulation and Supervision – The Bank – Capital Adequacy Requirements” for information onFurther, prior approval of the capital requirements applicable to the Bank. In addition, without the OCC’s approval,Federal Reserve Board is required if cash dividends may not be paid by the Bank in an amountdeclared in any calendargiven year which exceeds itsexceed the total of the Bank’s net profits for thatsuch year, plus its retained profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfersyears. Virginia law also imposes restrictions on the ability of Virginia-chartered banks to capital surplus. National banks also may not pay dividends in excessif such dividends would impair a bank’s paid-in capital. The payment of total retained profits, including current year’s earnings after deducting bad debts in excess of reserves for loan losses. In some cases,dividends by the OCCBank may find a dividend payment that meets these statutoryalso be limited by other factors, such as requirements to bemaintain capital above regulatory guidelines. The Virginia Bureau and the Federal Reserve Board have the general authority to limit dividends paid by the Bank if such payments are deemed to constitute an unsafe orand unsound practice. As a result of securities impairments and a special dividend from the Bank in 2008, the Bank is limited as to the dividends it can pay. Accordingly, the Bank would need permission from the OCC prior to paying dividends through approximately December 31, 2011.

Because the Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries, its right to participate in the distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon the subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors. In the event of liquidation or other resolution of an insured depository institution, such as the Bank, the claims of depositors and other general or subordinated creditors are entitled to a priority of payment over the claims of holders of any obligation of the institution to its shareholders, including any depository institution holding company or any shareholder or creditor thereof.


Examinations. Under the FDICIA, all insured institutions must undergo regular on-site examination by their appropriate banking agency and such agency may assess the institution for its costs of conducting the examination. The OCC periodically examinesAs a state-chartered, Federal Reserve member bank, the Bank is subject to examination by the Virginia Bureau and evaluates national banks, such as the Bank.FRB. These examinations review areas such as capital adequacy, reserves, loan portfolio quality and management, consumer and other compliance issues, investments, information systems, disaster recovery, and contingency planning and management practices. Based upon such an evaluation, the OCC may revalue the assets of a bank and require that it establish specific reserves to compensate for the difference between the OCC determined value and the book value of such assets.


Capital Adequacy Requirements. The OCC hasvarious federal bank regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board, have adopted regulations establishing minimumrisk-based capital requirements for assessing the capital adequacy of insured national banks.banks and bank holding companies. The OCC mayfederal capital standards define capital and establish higher minimum capital requirements if,in relation to assets and off-balance sheet exposure, as adjusted for example, a bank has previously received special attention or has a high susceptibility to interest ratecredit risk.


The OCC’s risk-based capital guidelines generally require nationalstandards currently in effect are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile among bank holding companies and banks, to haveaccount for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate risk weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items.

Pursuant to the Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital requirements, state member banks are required to meet a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 4.00% and a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8.00%. The capital categories have the same definitions for the Bank as for the Company. See “Regulation and Supervision – The Company – Capital Adequacy Requirements” for additional information on the capital requirements applicable to the Bank.

In 2010, the OCC issued an Individual Minimum Capital Ratio directive (“IMCR”)addition to the Bank which requires it to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.50% andrequirements, the Federal Reserve Board has adopted regulations that supplement the risk-based guidelines to include a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 10.00%. At December 31, 2010, the Bank’sminimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weightedquarterly average assets was 12.92%(“leverage ratio”) of 3.00%. The Federal Reserve Board has emphasized that the foregoing standards are supervisory minimums and its ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets was 14.18%.


The OCC’s leverage guidelines require national banksthat a banking organization will be permitted to maintain Tier 1such minimum levels of capital of no less than 4.00% of average total assets, except inonly if it receives the case of certain highly rated banks for whichhighest rating under the requirementregulatory rating system and the banking organization is 3.00% of average total assets.  As part of the OCC’s IMCR, the Bank isnot experiencing or anticipating significant growth. All other banking organizations are required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.50%. At December 31, 2010,at least 4.00% to 5.00% of Tier 1 capital. These rules further provide that banking organizations experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain capital positions substantially above the Bank’s leverage ratio was 8.66%.

minimum supervisory levels and comparable to peer group averages, without significant reliance on intangible assets.

Corrective Measures for Capital Deficiencies. The federal banking regulators are required to take “prompt corrective action” with respect to capital-deficient institutions. Agency regulations define, for each capital category, the levels at which institutions are “well-capitalized,“well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized.” A “well-capitalized”“well capitalized” institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or higher; a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or higher; a leverage ratio of 5.0% or higher; and is not subject to any written agreement, order or directive requiring it to maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. An “adequately capitalized” institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or higher; a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or higher; a leverage ratio of 4.0% or higher (3.0% or higher if the bank was rated a composite 1 in its most recent examination report and is not experiencing significant growth); and does not meet the criteria for a well-capitalizedwell capitalized bank. An “undercapitalized” institution has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%; a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4.0% or a leverage ratio of less than 4.0%. A “significantly undercapitalized” institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.0%; a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3.0% or a leverage ratio of less than 3.0%. A “critically undercapitalized” institution’s tangible equity is equal to or less than 2.0% of average quarterly tangible assets. An institution may be downgraded to, or deemed to be in, a capital category that is lower than indicated by its capital ratios if it is determined to be in an unsafe or unsound condition or if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating with respect to certain matters. A bank’s capital

category is determined solely for the purpose of applying prompt corrective action regulations, and the capital category may not constitute an accurate representation of the bank’s overall financial condition or prospects for other purposes. The Bank was classified as “well-capitalized”“well capitalized” for purposes of the FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulation as of December 31, 2010.

2011.

In addition to requiring undercapitalized institutions to submit a capital restoration plan, agency regulations contain broad restrictions on certain activities of undercapitalized institutions including asset growth, acquisitions, branch establishment and expansion into new lines of business. With certain exceptions, an insured depository institution is prohibited from making capital distributions, including dividends, and is prohibited from paying management fees to control persons if the institution would be undercapitalized after any such distribution or payment.


As an institution’s capital decreases, the federal regulators’ enforcement powers become more severe. A significantly undercapitalized institution is subject to mandated capital raising activities, restrictions on interest rates paid and transactions with affiliates, removal of management and other restrictions. The FDIC has limited discretion in dealing with a critically undercapitalized institution and is generally required to appoint a receiver or conservator. Similarly, within 90 days of a national bank becoming critically undercapitalized, the OCC must appoint a receiver or conservator unless certain findings are made with respect to the institution’s continued viability.


Banks with risk-based capital and leverage ratios below the required minimums may also be subject to certain administrative actions, including the termination of deposit insurance upon notice and hearing, or a temporary suspension of insurance without a hearing in the event the institution has no tangible capital.

Deposit Insurance Assessments.The Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the DIF of the FDIC and are subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the DIF. Currently the FDIC utilizes a risk-based assessment system to evaluate the risk of each financial institution based on three primary sources of information: (1) its supervisory rating, (2) its financial ratios, and (3) its long-term debt issuer rating, if the institution has one. The FDIC’s initial base assessment schedule can be adjusted up or down, and premiums forin effect from January 1, 2010, through March 31, 2011, ranged from 12 basis points in the lowest risk category to 45 basis points for banks in the highest risk category. Effective April 1, 2011, the FDIC set initial base assessment rates from 5 basis points in the lowest risk category to 35 basis points for banks in the higher risk category.


The Dodd-Frank Act requires the FDIC to increase the DIF’s reserves against future losses, which will necessitate increased deposit insurance premiums that are to be borne primarily by institutions with assets of greater than $10 billion. In October 2010, the FDIC addressed plans to bolster the DIF by increasing the required reserve ratio for the industry to 1.35 percent (ratio of reserves to insured deposits) by September 30, 2020, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The FDIC also proposed to raise its industry target ratio of reserves to insured deposits to 2 percent, 65 basis points above the statutory minimum.


In February 2011, the FDIC adopted new rules that amend its current deposit insurance assessment regulations. The new rules implement a provision in the Dodd-Frank Act that changeschanged the assessment base for deposit insurance premiums from one based on domestic deposits to one based on average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity. The rules also changechanged the assessment rate schedules for insured depository institutions so that approximately the same amount of revenue would be collected under the new assessment base as would be collected under the current rate schedule and the schedules previously proposed by the FDIC in October 2010. In addition, the new rules reviserevised the risk-based assessment system for large insured depository institutions (generally, institutions with at least $10 billion in total assets) and “highly complex” institutions by requiring that the FDIC use a scorecard method to calculate assessment rates for all such institutions. The Bank will not be deemed a “highly complex” institution for these purposes.


Under the new rules, the FDIC set initial base assessment rates from 5 basis points in the lowest risk category to 35 basis points for banks in the higher risk category, which are effective April 1, 2011. The Company cannot provide any assurance as to the amount of any proposed increase in its deposit insurance premium rate, as such changes are dependent upon a variety of factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (the “FDIA”),, the FDIC may terminate deposit insurance upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.


Safety and Soundness Standards. The FDIA requires the federal bank regulatory agencies to prescribe standards, by regulations or guidelines, relating to internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings, stock valuation and compensation, fees and benefits, and such other operational and managerial standards as the agencies deem appropriate. Guidelines adopted by the federal bank regulatory agencies establish general standards relating to internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth and compensation, fees and benefits. In general, the guidelines require, among other things, appropriate systems and practices to identify and manage the risk and exposures specified in the guidelines. The guidelines prohibit excessive compensation as an unsafe and unsound practice and describe compensation as excessive when the amounts paid are unreasonable or disproportionate to the services performed by an executive officer, employee, director or principal stockholder. In addition, the agencies adopted regulations that authorize, but do not require, an agency to order an institution that has been given notice by an agency that it is not satisfying any of such safety and soundness standards to submit a compliance plan. If, after being so notified, an institution fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan or fails in any material respect to implement an acceptable compliance plan, the agency must issue an order directing action to correct the deficiency and may issue an order directing other actions of the types to which an undercapitalized institution is subject under the “prompt corrective action” provisions of the FDIA.

See “Corrective“Regulation and Supervision – The Bank – Corrective Measures for Capital Deficiencies” above.for additional information. If an institution fails to comply with such an order, the agency may seek to enforce such order in judicial proceedings and to impose civil money penalties.

10

Enforcement Powers. The FDIC and the other federal banking agencies have broad enforcement powers, including the power to terminate deposit insurance, impose substantial fines and other civil and criminal penalties and appoint a conservator or receiver. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and supervisory agreements could subject the Company or the Bank, as well as officers, directors and other institution-affiliated parties of these organizations, to administrative sanctions and potentially substantial civil money penalties. The appropriate federal banking agency may appoint the FDIC as conservator or receiver for a banking institution (or the FDIC may appoint itself, under certain circumstances) if any one or more of a number of circumstances exist, including, without limitation, the fact that the banking institution is undercapitalized and has no reasonable prospect of becoming adequately capitalized; fails to become adequately capitalized when required to do so; fails to submit a timely and acceptable capital restoration plan; or materially fails to implement an accepted capital restoration plan.


Consumer Laws and Regulations. In addition to the laws and regulations discussed herein, the Bank is also subject to certain consumer laws and regulations that are designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks. While the list set forth herein is not exhaustive, these laws and regulations include the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and the Fair Housing Act, and various state counterparts. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits or making loans to such customers. The Bank must comply with the applicable provisions of these consumer protection laws and regulations as part of their ongoing customer relations.


In addition, federal law currently contains extensive customer privacy protection provisions. Under these provisions, a financial institution must provide to its customers, at the inception of the customer relationship and annually thereafter, the institution’s policies and procedures regarding the handling of customers’ nonpublic personal financial information. These provisions also provide that, except for certain limited exceptions, a financial institution may not provide such personal information to unaffiliated third parties unless the institution discloses to the customer that such information may be so provided and the customer is given the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure.


The Dodd-Frank Act provided for the creation of the CFPB as an independent entity within the Federal Reserve Board. The CFPB has broad rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement authority over consumer financial products and services, including deposit products, residential mortgages, home-equity loans and credit cards. The CFPB’s functions include investigating consumer complaints, rulemaking, supervising and examining banks’ consumer transactions, and enforcing rules related to consumer financial products and services. Banks with less than $10 billion in assets, such as the Bank, will continue to be examined for compliance with federal consumer financial laws by their primary federal banking agency.

USA PATRIOT Act of 2001.The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“Patriot Act”) was enacted in October 2001. The Patriot Act has broadened existing anti-money laundering legislation while imposing new compliance and due diligence obligations on banks and other financial institutions, with a particular focus on detecting and reporting money laundering transactions involving domestic or international customers. The U.S. Treasury Department has issued and will continue to issue regulations clarifying the Patriot Act’s requirements. The Patriot Act requires all “financial institutions,” as defined, to establish \certaincertain anti-money laundering compliance and due diligence programs. Recently, the regulatory agencies have intensified their examination procedures in light of the Patriot Act’s anti-money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act requirements. The Company believes that its controls and procedures were in compliance with the Patriot Act as of December 31, 2010.2011.


Participation

Interstate Banking and Branching.The federal banking agencies are authorized to approve interstate bank merger transactions without regard to whether the 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”) or 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.

Prior to the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, national and state-chartered banks were generally permitted to branch across state lines by merging with banks in other states if allowed by the applicable states’ laws. However, interstate branching is now permitted for all national and state-chartered banks as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, provided that a state bank chartered by the state in which the branch is to be located would also be permitted to establish a branch, thus effectively giving out of state banks parity with in state banks with respect to de novo branching.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business

The current economic environment poses significant challenges for the Company and could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.


There has been significant disruption

The U.S. economy was in recession from December 2007 through June 2009. Business activity across a wide range of industries and volatilityregions in the financial and capital markets since 2007. The financial markets and the financial services industry in particular suffered unprecedented disruption, causing a number of institutions to fail or require government intervention to avoid failure. TheseU. S. was greatly reduced. Although economic conditions were largely the result of the erosion of the U.S. and global credit markets, including a significant and rapid deterioration in the mortgage lending and relatedhave improved, certain sectors, such as real estate markets.  Dramatic declines in the housing markets over the past several years, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosuresmanufacturing, remain weak and unemployment have resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions. As a consequence, the Company experienced losses in 2009 resulting primarily from substantial impairment charges on investment securities.remains high. Continued declines in real estate values, home sales volumes, and financial stress on borrowers as a result of the uncertain economic environment could have an adverse effect on the Company’s borrowers or its customers, which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, local governments and many businesses are still experiencing difficulty due to lower consumer spending and decreased liquidity in the credit markets. Deterioration in local economic conditions, particularly within the Company’s geographic regions and markets, could drive losses beyond that which is provided for in its allowance for loan losses. The Company may also face the following risks in connection with these events:

Economic conditions that negatively affect housing prices and the job market have resulted, and may continue to result, in deterioration in credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolios, and such deterioration in credit quality has had, and could continue to have, a negative impact on the Company’s business.

Market developments may affect consumer confidence levels and may cause adverse changes in payment patterns, causing increases in delinquencies and default rates on loans and other credit facilities.

The processes the Company uses to estimate allowance for loan losses and reserves may no longer be reliable because they rely on complex judgments that may no longer be capable of accurate estimation.

The Company’s ability to assess the creditworthiness of its customers may be impaired if the models and approaches it uses to select, manage, and underwrite its customers become less predictive of future charge-offs.

The Company expects to face increased regulation of its industry, and compliance with such regulation may increase its costs, limit its ability to pursue business opportunities, and increase compliance challenges.

As the above conditions or similar ones continue to exist or worsen, the Company could experience continuing or increased adverse effects on its financial condition and results of operations.


The Company and its subsidiary business are subject to interest rate risk and variations in interest rates may negatively affect its financial performance.


The Company’s earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon its net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense paid on interest bearinginterest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowed funds. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the Company’s control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Federal Reserve Board. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the interest the Company receives on loans and securities and the amount of interest it pays on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also affect (i) the Company’s ability to originate loans and obtain deposits, and (ii) the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, the Company’s net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affected. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and other investments fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings.


The Bank’s allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual losses.


Like all financial institutions, the Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses to provide for probable losses. The Bank’s allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan losses and future provisions for loan losses could materially and adversely affect the Bank’s operating results. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires the Bank to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. The Bank’s allowance for loan losses is determined by analyzing historical loan losses, current trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, plans for problem loan resolution, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, and industry information. Also included in management’s estimates for loan losses are considerations with respect to the impact of economic events, the outcome of which are uncertain. The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates, thatwhich may be beyond the Bank’s control, and these losses may exceed current estimates. Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, review the Bank’s loans and allowance for loan losses. Although the Company believes that the Bank’s allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for probable losses, there are no assurances that future increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be needed or that regulators will not require the Bank to increase its allowance. Either of these occurrences could materially and adversely affect the Company’s earnings and profitability.


The Company has experienced increases in the levels of non-performing assets and loan charge-offs in recent periods. The Company’s total non-performing assets amounted tototaled $31.00 million at December 31, 2011, $29.65 million at December 31, 2010, and $23.50 million at December 31, 2009, and $14.09 million at December 31, 2008.2009. The Company had $12.55$9.32 million of net loan charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2010,2011, compared to $9.31$12.55 million and $5.45$9.31 million in net loan charge-offs for the years ended December 31, 20092010 and 2008,2009, respectively. The Company’s provision for loan losses was $9.05 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, $14.76 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, and $15.80 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, and $9.23 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.2009. At December 31, 2010,2011, the ratios of the Company’s allowance for loan losses to non-accrualnon-performing loans and to total loans outstanding were 136.41%104.5% and 1.91%1.88%, respectively. Additional increases in the Company’s non-performing assets or loan charge-offs may require itan increase to increase itsthe allowance for loan losses, which would have an adverse effect upon the Company’s future results of operations.

The declining real estate market could impact the Company’s business.


The Company’s business activities are conducted in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and the surrounding regions. Over the past several years, the real estate market in these regions experienced declines with falling home prices and increased foreclosures. As a result of the Company’s elevated net charge-offs increased during this period and in recognition of the continued deterioration in the real estate market and the potential for further increases in non-performing assets, the Company increased its provision for loan losses over historical levels during 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2010.2011. A continued downturn in this regional real estate market could hurt the Company’s business because of the geographic concentrationits operations are concentrated within this regionalgeographic area and because the vast majority of the Company’s loans are secured by real estate. If there is a further decline in real estate values, the collateral for the Company’s loans will provide less security. As a result, the Company’s ability to recover on defaulted loans by selling the underlying real estate will be diminished, and it will be more likely to suffer losses on defaulted loans.


Additionally, recent weakness in the secondary market for residential lending could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s profitability. Significant ongoing disruptions in the secondary market for residential mortgage loans have limited the market for and liquidity of most mortgage loans other than conforming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans. The effects of ongoing mortgage market challenges, combined with the ongoing correction in residential real estate market prices and reduced levels of home sales, could adversely affect the value of collateral securing mortgage loans, mortgage loan originations and gains on sale of mortgage loans. Continued declines in real estate values and home sales volumes, and

financial stress on borrowers as a result of job losses or other factors, could have further adverse effects on borrowers that result in higher delinquencies and greater charge-offs in future periods, which could materially and adversely affect the Company.

The Company’s level of credit risk is increasingmay increase due to its focus on commercial and construction lending and the concentration on small businesses and middle market customers with significant vulnerability to economic conditions.


As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s largest outstanding commercial business loan and largest outstanding commercial real estate loan amounted to $6.18 million and $9.85 million, respectively. At such date, the Company’s commercial business loans amounted to $447.37 million, or 32.27% of the Company’s total loan portfolio, and the Company’s commercial real estate loans amounted to $145.90 million, or 10.52% of the Company’s total loan portfolio.

Commercial business and commercial real estate loans generally are considered riskier than single-familysingle family residential loans because they have larger balances to a single borrower or group of related borrowers. Commercial business and commercial real estate loans involve risks because the borrowers’ ability to repay the loans typically depends primarily on the successful operation of the businesses or the properties securing the loans. Most of the Company’s commercial business loans are made to small business or middle market customers who may have a significant vulnerability to economic conditions. Moreover, a portion of these loans have been made or acquired by the Company in recent years and the borrowers may not have experienced a complete business or economic cycle.


At December 31, 2011, the Company’s largest outstanding commercial business loan and largest outstanding commercial real estate loan amounted to $6.18 million and $7.30 million, respectively. At such date, the Company’s commercial business loans amounted to $93.31 million, or 6.68% of the Company’s total loan portfolio, and the Company’s commercial real estate loans amounted to $556.96 million, or 39.90% of the Company’s total loan portfolio.

In addition to commercial real estate and commercial business loans, the Company holds a portfolio of commercial construction loans.  At December 31, 2010, the Company’s construction loans amounted to $61.04 million, or 4.40% of the Company’s total loan portfolio. Construction loans generally have a higher risk of loss than single-family residential mortgage loansprimarily due primarily to the critical nature of the initial estimates of a property’s value upon completion of construction compared towith the estimated costs, including interest, of construction as well as other assumptions. If the estimates upon which construction loans are made prove to be inaccurate, the Company may be confronted with projects that, upon completion, have values which are below the loan amounts. The nature of the allowance for loan losses requires that the Company must use assumptions regarding, among other factors, individual loans and the economy. While the Company is not aware of any specific, material impediments impacting any of its builder/developer borrowers at this time, there continues to be nationwide reports of significant problems which have adversely affected many property developers and builders as well as the institutions that have provided those loans. If significant numbers of the builder/developers to which the Company has extended construction loans experience the type of difficulties that are being reported, it could have adverse consequences upon its future results of operations.


At December 31, 2011, the Company’s largest outstanding commercial construction loan amounted to $5.74 million. At such date, the Company’s commercial construction loans amounted to $61.77 million, or 4.42% of the Company’s total loan portfolio.

The Bank may suffer losses in its loan portfolio despite its underwriting practices.


The Bank seeks to mitigate the risks inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio by adhering to specific underwriting practices. These practices include analysis of a borrower’s prior credit history, financial statements, tax returns and cash flow projections, valuation of collateral based on reports of independent appraisers and verification of liquid assets. Although the Bank believes that its underwriting criteria are appropriate for the various kinds of loans it makes, the Bank may incur losses on loans that meet its underwriting criteria, and these losses may exceed the amounts set aside as reserves in the Bank’s allowance for loan losses.


Changes in the fair value of the Company’s securities may reduce its stockholders’ equity and net income.

At December 31, 2010, $480.062011, $482.43 million of the Company’s securities were classified as available-for-sale. At such date, the aggregate unrealized losses on the Company’s available-for-sale securities were $28.45totaled $21.74 million. The Company increases or decreases stockholders’ equity by the amount of the change in the unrealized gain or loss (the difference between the estimated fair value and the amortized cost) of the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio, net of the related tax benefit,effect, under the category of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss. Therefore, a decline in the estimated fair value of this portfolio will result in a decline in reported stockholders’ equity, as well as book value per common share and tangible book value per common share. This decrease will occur even though the securities are not sold. In the case of debt securities, if these securities are never sold and there are no credit impairments, the decrease will be recovered at the maturity of the securities. In the case of equity securities which have no stated maturity, the declines in fair value may or may not be recovered over time.

14

The Company conducts periodic reviews and evaluations of its entire securities portfolio to determine if the decline in the fair value of any security below its cost basis is other-than-temporary. Factors which the Company considered in its analysis of debt securities include, but are not limited to, intent to sell the security, evidence available to determine if it is more likely than not that the Company will have to sell the securities before recovery of the amortized cost, and probable credit losses. Probable credit losses are evaluated based upon, but are not limited to: the present value of future cash flows, the severity and duration of the decline in fair value of the security below its amortized cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, whether the decline appears to be related to issuer conditions or general market or industry conditions, the payment structure of the security, failure of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, and changes to the

rating of the security by rating agencies. The Company generally views changes in fair value for debt securities caused by changes in interest rates as temporary, which is consistent with the Company’s experience. If the Company deems such decline to be other-than-temporary, the security is written down to a new cost basis and the resulting loss is charged to earnings as a component of non-interestnoninterest income. For the year ended December 31, 2010,2011, the Company reportedrecognized other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges of $134 thousand$2.29 million on its debt securities portfolio.


Factors that the Company considers in its analysis of equity securities include, but are not limited to: intent to sell the security before recovery of the cost, the severity and duration of the decline in fair value of the security below its cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether the decline appears to be related to issuer conditions or general market or industry conditions.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized no OTTI charges on its equity securities portfolio.

The Company continues to monitor the fair value of its entire securities portfolio as part of its ongoing OTTI evaluation process. No assurance can be given that the Company will not need to recognize OTTI charges related to securities in the future.


The enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 may have a material effect on the Company’s operations.


On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, which imposes significant regulatory and compliance changes. The key provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act that are anticipated to affect the Company’s operations include:

changes to regulatory capital requirements;


creation of new government regulatory agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau;

·changes to regulatory capital requirements;

limitation on federal preemption;

·creation of new government regulatory agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau;

changes in insured depository institution regulations and assessments; and

·limitation on federal preemption;

mortgage loan origination and risk retention.

·changes in insured depository institution regulations and assessments; and
·mortgage loan origination and risk retention.

Many of the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented over time and most will be subject to the rulemaking process at various regulatory agencies. Given the uncertainty associated with the manner in which the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented by the various regulatory agencies and through regulations, the full extent of the impact such requirements will have on the Company’s operations is unclear. The changes resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act may impact the profitability of our business activities, require changes to certain of our business practices, impose upon us more stringent capital, liquidity and leverage requirements or otherwise adversely affect our business. These changes may also require usthe Company to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make any changes necessary to comply with new statutory and regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with the new requirements or with any future changes in laws or regulations may negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.


The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation which could adversely affect them.


The Company and its subsidiaries’ operations are subject to extensive regulation and supervision by federal and state governmental authorities and are subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions imposing requirements and restrictions on part or all of the Company’s operations. Banking regulations governing the Company’s operations are primarily intended to protect depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, not security holders.stockholders. Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. Changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could affect the Company in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject the Company to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products the Company may offer and/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. Failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputation damage, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. While the Company has policies and procedures designed to prevent any such violations, there can be no assurance that such violations will not occur. These laws, rules and regulations, or any other laws, rules or regulations that may be adopted in the future, could make compliance more difficult or expensive, restrict the Company’s ability to originate, broker or sell loans, further limit or restrict the amount of commissions, interest or other charges earned on loans originated or sold by the Bank and otherwise adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or prospects.

15

The financial services industry is likely to face increased regulation and supervision as a result of the recent financial crisis. Such additional regulation and supervision may increase the Company’s costs and limit its ability to pursue business opportunities. The affects of such recently enacted, and proposed, legislation and regulatory programs on the Company cannot reliably be determined at this time.


The Bank’s ability to pay dividends is subject to regulatory limitations which, to the extent the Company requires such dividends in the future, may affect the Company’s ability to pay its obligations and pay dividends.


The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and its subsidiaries and does not have significant operations of its own. The Company currently depends on the Bank’s cash and liquidity as well as dividends from the Bank to pay the Company’s operating expenses and dividends to its stockholders. No assurance can be made that in the future the Bank will have the capacity to pay the necessary dividends and that the Company will not require dividends from the Bank to satisfy the Company’s obligations. The availability of dividends from the Bank is limited by various statutes and regulations. In addition, the OCC issued a minimum capital ratio directive to the Bank that requires it to maintain heightened regulatory capital ratios which could impact the Bank’s ability to pay a dividend to the Company. It is possible, depending upon the financial condition of the Bank and other factors, that the OCC,Federal Reserve Board or the Virginia Bureau, the Bank’s primary regulator,regulators, could assert that payment of dividends or other payments by the Bank are an unsafe or unsound practice. In the event the Bank is unable to pay dividends sufficient to satisfy the Company’s obligations or is otherwise unable to pay dividends to the Company, the Company may not be able to service its obligations as they become due, including payments required to be made to the FCBI Capital Trust, a business trust subsidiary of the Company, or pay dividends on the Company’s Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock. Consequently, the inability to receive dividends from the Bank could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. As a result of securities impairments in 2009, the Bank does not have retained profits from which it can pay dividends. Accordingly, the Bank would need permission from the OCC prior to paying dividends to the Company through approximately December 31, 2011.


The Company faces strong competition from other financial institutions, financial service companies and other organizations offering services similar to those offered by the Company and its subsidiaries, which could hurt the Company’s business.


The Company’s business operations are centered primarily in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Increased competition within this regionthese regions may result in reduced loan originations and deposits. Ultimately, the Company may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. Many competitors offer the types of loans and banking services that the Bank offers. These competitors include other savings associations, national banks, regional banks and other community banks. The Company also faces competition from many other types of financial institutions, including finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, credit unions, mortgage banks and other financial intermediaries. In particular, the Bank’s competitors include other state and national banks and major financial companies whose greater resources may afford them a marketplace advantage by enabling them to maintain numerous banking locations and mount extensive promotional and advertising campaigns.


Additionally, banks and other financial institutions with larger capitalization and financial intermediaries not subject to bank regulatory restrictions have larger lending limits and are thereby able to serve the credit needs of larger clients. These institutions, particularly to the extent they are more diversified than the Company, may be able to offer the same loan products and services that the Company offers at more competitive rates and prices. If the Company is unable to attract and retain banking clients, the Company may be unable to continue the Bank’s loan and deposit growth and the Company’s business, financial condition and prospects may be negatively affected.


Potential Acquisitions May Disruptacquisitions may disrupt the Company’s Businessbusiness and Dilute Stockholder Value


dilute stockholder value.

The Company may seek merger or acquisition partners that are culturally similar and have experienced management and possess either significant market presence or have potential for improved profitability through financial management, economies of scale or expanded services. Acquiring other banks, businesses, or branches involves various risks commonly associated with acquisitions, including, among other things:

Potential exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities of the target company.

Exposure to potential asset quality issues of the target company.

Difficulty, expense, and delays of integrating the operations and personnel of the target company.

Potential disruption to the Company’s business.

Potential diversion of the Company’s management’s time and attention.

The possible loss of key employees and customers of the target company.

Difficulty in estimating the value of the target company.

16

Potential changes in banking or tax laws or regulations that may affect the target company.


Unexpected costs and delays.

Risks that the acquired target company does not perform consistent with the Company’s growth and profitability expectations.

Risks associated with entering new markets or product areas where the Company has limited experience.

Risks that growth will strain the Company’s infrastructure, staff, internal controls and management, which may require additional personnel, time and expenditures.

Potential short-term decreases in profitability.

·Potential exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities of the target company.
·Exposure to potential asset quality issues of the target company.
·Difficulty, expense, and delays of integrating the operations and personnel of the target company.
·Potential disruption to the Company’s business.
·Potential diversion of the Company’s management’s time and attention.
·The possible loss of key employees and customers of the target company.
·Difficulty in estimating the value of the target company.
·Potential changes in banking or tax laws or regulations that may affect the target company.
·Unexpected costs and delays.
·Risks that the acquired target company does not perform consistent with the Company’s growth and profitability expectations.
·Risks associated with entering new markets or product areas where the Company has limited experience.
·Risks that growth will strain the Company’s infrastructure, staff, internal controls and management, which may require additional personnel, time and expenditures.
·Potential short-term decreases in profitability.

The Company regularly evaluates merger and acquisition opportunities and conducts due diligence activities related to possible transactions with other financial institutions and financial services companies. As a result, merger or acquisition discussions and, in some cases, negotiations may take place and future mergers or acquisitions involving the payment of cash or the issuance of debt or equity securities may occur at any time. Acquisitions typically involve the payment of a premium over book and market values, and, therefore, some initial dilution of the Company’s tangible book value and net income per common share may occur in connection with any future transaction. Furthermore, failure to realize the expected revenue increases, cost savings, increases in geographic or product presence, and/or other projected benefits from an acquisition could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.


The Company may engage in FDIC-assisted transactions, which could present additional risks to its business.


The Company may have opportunities to acquire the assets and liabilities of failed banks in FDIC-assisted transactions, which present the risks of acquisitions discussed above, as well as some risks specific to these transactions. Because FDIC-assisted acquisitions provide for limited diligence and negotiation of terms, these transactions may require additional resources and time, including relating to servicing acquired problem loans and costs related to integration of personnel and operating systems, and the establishment of processes to service acquired assets. Such transactions may also require the Company to raise additional capital, which may be dilutive to existing stockholders. If the Company is unable to manage these risks, FDIC-assisted acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.


Attractive acquisition opportunities may not be available to us in the future.


The Company expects that other banking and financial companies, many of which have significantly greater resources, will compete with it to acquire financial services businesses. This competition could increase prices for potential acquisitions that the Company believes are attractive. Also, acquisitions are subject to various regulatory approvals. If the Company fails to receive the appropriate regulatory approvals, it will not be able to consummate an acquisition that it believes is in its best interests. Among other things, the Company’s regulators consider the Company’s capital, liquidity, profitability, regulatory compliance and levels of goodwill and intangibles when considering acquisition and expansion proposals. Any acquisition could be dilutive to the Company’s earnings and stockholders’ equity per share of the Company’s Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock.


The Company’s goodwill may be determined to be impaired.

As of December 31, 2010,2011, the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill was $84.91$83.06 million. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if necessary. Quoted market prices in active markets are the best evidence of fair value and are to be used as the basis for measuring impairment, when available. Other acceptable valuation methods include present-value measurements based on multiples of earnings or revenues, or similar performance measures. If the Company determines that the carrying amount of its goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the Company would be required to write-down the value of the goodwill on its balance sheet. This, in turn, would result in a charge against earnings and, thus, a reduction in the Company’s stockholders’ equity and certain related capital measures. During 2010,2011, the Company recognized a charge of $1.04$1.24 million to write-down the value of goodwill at its insurance agency subsidiary.


The Company may lose members of its management team and have difficulty attracting skilled personnel.

The Company’s success depends, in large part, on its ability to attract and retain key people. Competition for the best people can be intense and the Company may not be able to hire such people or to retain them. The unexpected loss of services of key personnel of the Company could have a material adverse impact on its business because of their skills, knowledge of the Company’s market, years of industry experience and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel. In addition, recent regulatory proposals and guidance relating to compensation may negatively impact the Company’s ability to retain and attract skilled personnel.

17

Increases

An increase in FDIC deposit insurance premiums could adversely affect the Company’s earnings.

Market developments have significantly depleted the DIF of the FDIC and reduced the ratio of reserves to insured deposits. As a result of recent economic conditions and the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC revised its assessment rates which raised deposit premiums for certain insured depository institutions. If these increases are insufficient for the DIF to meet its funding requirements, further special assessments or increases in deposit insurance premiums may be required. The Company is generally unable to control the amount of premiums that it is required to pay for FDIC insurance. If there are additional bank or financial institution failures, the FDIC may increase the deposit insurance assessment rates. Any future assessments, increases or required prepayments in FDIC insurance premiums may materially adversely affect the Company’s earnings and could have a material adverse effect on the value of its common stock.

Common Stock.

The Company may seek to raise additional capital in the future, and such capital may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

The Company may seek to raise additional capital in the future to provide it with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments, business needs, and growth objectives, particularly if its asset quality or earnings were to deteriorate significantly. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital will depend on, among other things, conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside of its control, and its financial performance. Economic conditions and the loss of confidence in financial institutions may increase the Company’s cost of funding and limit access to certain customary sources of capital, including inter-bank borrowings, repurchase agreements and borrowings from the discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank.FRB. Any occurrence that may limit the Company’s access to the capital markets may adversely affect the Company’s capital costs and its ability to raise capital and, in turn, its liquidity. Accordingly, the Company cannot provide any assurance that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. An inability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s businesses, financial condition and results of operations.


Liquidity risk could impair the Company’s ability to fund its operations and jeopardize its financial condition.


Liquidity is essential to the Company’s business. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, equity and debt offerings and other sources could have a substantial negative effect on the Company’s liquidity. The Company’s access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance its activities, or on terms attractive to the Company, could be impaired by factors that affect the Company specifically or the financial services industry in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact the Company’s access to liquidity sources include a reduction in its credit ratings, if any, an increase in costs of capital in financial capital markets, a decrease in the level of its business activity due to a market downturn or adverse regulatory action against the Company, or a decrease in depositor or investor confidence in it.confidence. The Company’s access to liquidity sources could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to it, such as a severe disruption of the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole.


The Company’s controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented.


Management regularly reviews and updates the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of the Company’s controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.


The failure of other financial institutions could adversely affect the Company.


The Company’s ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by future failures of financial institutions and the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions. Financial institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty and other relationships. The Company has exposure to different industries and counterparties and routinely executeexecutes transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including brokers and dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, investment companies and other institutional clients. In certain of these transactions, the Company is required to post collateral to secure the obligations to the counterparties. In the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving one of such counterparties, the Company may experience delays in recovering the assets posted as collateral or may incur a loss to the extent that the counterparty was holding collateral in excess of the obligation to such counterparty.

In addition, many of these transactions expose the Company to credit risk in the event of a default by the Company’s counterparty or client. In addition, the credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by the Company cannot be realized or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the loan or derivative exposure due to the Company. Any losses resulting from the Company’s routine funding transactions may materially and adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

18

The Company is subject to environmental liability risk associated with lending activities.


A significant portion of the Company’s loan portfolio is secured by real property. During the ordinary course of business, the Company may foreclose on and take title to properties securing certain loans. In doing so, there is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties. If hazardous or toxic substances are found, the Company may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Environmental laws may require the Company to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property’s value or limit the Company’s ability to use or sell the affected property. Although the Company has policies and procedures to perform an environmental review before initiating any foreclosure action on real property, these reviews may not be sufficient to detect all potential environmental hazards. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Associated with the Company’s Common Stock

The Company’s Common Stock price can be volatile.

Stock price volatility may make it more difficult for holders of the Company’s Common Stock to resell when desired. The Company’s Common Stock price can fluctuate significantly in response to a variety of factors including, among other things:

Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly results of operations.


Recommendations by securities analysts.

Operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the Company.

News reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the financial services industry.

Perceptions in the marketplace regarding the Company and/or its competitors.

New technology used, or services offered, by competitors.

Significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving the Company or its competitors.

Failure to integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions.

Changes in government regulations.

Geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts.

General market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic and political conditions and events, such as economic slowdowns or recessions, interest rate changes or credit loss trends, could also cause the Company’s Common Stock price to decrease regardless of operating results.

The trading volume in the Company’s Common Stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies.

Although the Company’s Common Stock is listed for trading on the NASDAQ, the trading volume in its Common Stock is less than that of other, larger financial services companies. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers of the Company’s Common Stock at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which the Company has no control. Given the lower trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock, significant sales of the Company’s Common Stock, or the expectation of these sales, could cause the Company’s stock price to fall.

The Company may not continue to pay dividends on its Common Stock in the future.

The Company’s Common Stockholders are only entitled to receive such dividends the Company’s board of directors declares out of funds legally available for such payments. Although the Company has historically declared cash dividends on its Common Stock, it is not required to do so and may reduce or eliminate its Common Stock dividend in the future. This could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock. Also, the Company is a financial holding company and its ability to declare and pay dividends is dependent on certain federal regulatory considerations, including the guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board regarding capital adequacy and dividends.

An investment in the Company’s Common Stock is not an insured deposit.

The Company’s Common Stock is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured against loss by the FDIC, any other deposit insurance fund or by any other public or private entity. Investment in the Company’s Common Stock is inherently risky for the reasons described in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this report and is subject to the same market forces that affect the price of common stock in any company. As a result, holders of the Company’s Common Stock could lose some or all of their investment.

Certain banking laws may have an anti-takeover effect.

Provisions of federal banking laws, including regulatory approval requirements, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire the Company, even if doing so would be perceived to be beneficial to the Company’s shareholders. These provisions effectively inhibit a non-negotiated merger or other business combination, which, in turn, could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.

The Company issued Series A Preferred Stock, which ranks senior to its Common Stock.

The Company issued 18,921 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in May 2011. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As a result, the Company must make dividend payments on its Series A Preferred Stock before any dividends can be paid on the Company’s Common Stock and, in the event of its bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock must be satisfied before any distributions can be made on the Company’s Common Stock. If the Company does not remain current in the payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, no dividends may be paid on its Common Stock. In addition, the dividends declared on the Series A Preferred Stock will reduce any net income available to holders of Common Stock and earnings per common share.

ITEM 7.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


Executive Overview


First Community Bancshares, Inc. is a financial holding company that, through its bank subsidiary, provides commercial banking services and has positioned itself as a regional community bank and a financial services alternative to larger banks which often provide less emphasis on personal relationships, and smaller community banks which lack the capital and resources to efficiently serve customer needs. The Company has focused its growth efforts on building financial partnerships and more enduring and complete relationships with businesses and individuals through a very personal and local approach to banking and financial services. The Company and its operations are guided by a strategic plan which includes growth through acquisitions and through office expansion in new market areas including strategically identified metro markets in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. While the Company’s mission remains that of a community bank, management believes that entry into new markets will accelerate the Company’s growth rate by diversifying the demographics of its customer base and customer prospects and by generally increasing its sales and service network.


Economy


The local economies in which the Company operates are diverse and span a five-statefour-state region. The economies of West Virginia and Southwest Virginia have significant exposure to extractive industries, such as coal, timber and natural gas, which become more active and lucrative when oil prices rise.gas. The local economies in the central portion of North Carolina have suffered in recent years due to foreign competition in both furniture and textiles, as well as consolidation in the financial services industry. Despite these detractions, the economies in this region continue to benefit from national companies operating in the Triad and Central Piedmont and central South Carolina areas.area of North Carolina. The Eastern Virginia local economies have, in recent years, benefited from key corporate and government activities and relocations.activities. The economy in Eastern Tennessee continues to benefit from the stability of higher education, healthcare services and tourism.


Despite the stable and positive aspects of ourthe regional economies in which the Company primarily operates, the Company’s markets have experienced significant declines in residential development and construction, not inconsistent with national trends. These declines have led to contraction in residential land development and construction, which havehas historically been important components of the Company’s lending activities. The economies of the Company’s Southwest Virginia and West Virginia markets have remained stable compared towith the national economy and unemployment levels arewere generally lower than the national average at December 31, 2010.


2011.

Competition


As the Company competes for increased market share and growth in both loans and deposits, it continues to encounter strong competition from many sources. Many of the markets targeted by the Company are also being entered by other banks in nearby and distant markets. The expansion of banks, credit unions, and other non-depository financial companies over recent years has intensified competitive pressures on core deposit generation and retention. Competitive forces impact the Company through pressure on interest yields, product fees, and loan structure and terms; however, the Company has countered these pressures with its relationship style of banking, competitive pricing, cost efficiencies, and a disciplined approach to loan underwriting.


Application of Critical Accounting Policies


The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U. S.U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Company’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the Company’s consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations.


Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary principally when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at estimated fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded based upon the probability of occurrence of a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by third party sources, when available. When third party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated by management primarily through the use of financial modeling techniques and appraisal estimates.

24

The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. The following is a summary of the Company’s more subjective and complex “critical

accounting policies.” In addition, the disclosures presented in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified investment valuation, determination of the allowance for loan losses, accounting for acquisitions and intangible assets, and accounting for income taxes as the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments.


Investment Securities


Management performs an extensive review of the investment securities portfolio quarterly to determine the cause of declines in the fair value of each security within each segment of the portfolio. The Company uses inputs provided by an independent third party to determine the fair values of its investment securities portfolio. Inputs provided by the third party are reviewed and corroborated by management. Evaluations of the causes of the unrealized losses are performed to determine whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary in nature. Considerations such as the Company’s intent and ability to hold the securities, recoverability of the invested amounts over the Company’s intended holding period, severity in pricing decline, credit rating, and receipt of amounts contractually due, among other factors, are applied in determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired. If a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.


Allowance for Loan Losses


The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management deems sufficient to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and is based on management’s evaluation of the risks in the loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of loan activity. The Company consistently applies a review process to periodically evaluate loans for changes in credit risk. This process serves as the primary means by which the Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.


The Company determines the allowance for loan losses by making specific allocations to impaired loans that exhibit inherent weaknesses and various credit risk factors, and by general allocations to commercial, residential real estate, and consumer loans are developedby giving weight to risk ratings, historical loss trends and management’s judgment concerning those trends, and other relevant factors. These factors may include, but are not limited to, actual versus estimated losses, regional and national economic conditions, business segment and portfolio concentrations, industry competition and consolidation, and the impact of government regulations. The foregoing analysis is performed by management to evaluate the portfolio and calculate an estimated valuation allowance through a quantitative and qualitative analysis that applies risk factors to those identified risk areas.


This risk management evaluation is applied at both the portfolio level and the individual loan level for commercial loans and credit relationships while the level of consumer and residential mortgage loan allowance is determined primarily on a total portfolio level based on a review of historical loss percentages and other qualitative factors including concentrations, industry specific factors and economic conditions. The commercial portfolio requires more specific analysis of individually significant loans and the borrower’s underlying cash flow, business conditions, capacity for debt repayment and the valuation of secondary sources of payment, such as collateral. This analysis may result in specifically identified weaknesses and corresponding specific impairment allowances. While allocations are made to specific loans and classifications within the various categories of loans, the allowance for loan losses is available for all loan losses.


The use of various estimates and judgments in the Company’s ongoing evaluation of the required level of allowance can significantly impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition and may result in either greater provisions against earnings to increase the allowance or reduced provisions based upon management’s current view of the portfolio and economic conditions and the application of revised estimates and assumptions. Differences between actual loan loss experience and estimates are reflected through adjustments eitherthat are made by increasing or decreasing the loan loss provision based upon current measurement criteria.


Acquisitions and Intangible Assets


The Company may, from time to time, engage in business combinations with other companies. Purchase accounting requires the recording of underlying assets and liabilities of the entity acquired at their fair market value. Any excess of the purchase price of the business over the net assets acquired and any identified intangibles is recorded as goodwill. In instances where the price of the acquired business is less than the net assets acquired, a gain on purchase is recorded. Fair values are assigned based on quoted prices for similar assets, if readily available, or appraisal by qualified independent parties for relevant asset and liability categories. Financial assets and liabilities are typically valued using discount models which apply current discount rates to streams of cash flow. All of these valuation methods require the use of assumptions which can result in alternate valuations and varying levels of goodwill and amounts of bargain purchase gain and, in some cases, amortization expense or accretion income.

25

Management must also make estimates of useful or economic lives of certain acquired assets and liabilities. These lives are used in establishing amortization and accretion of some intangible assets and liabilities, such as the intangible associated with core deposits acquired in the acquisition of a commercial bank.


Goodwill is recorded as the excess of the purchase price, if any, over the fair value of the revaluedacquired net assets. Goodwill is tested annually in the month of Octoberfourth quarter for possible impairment by comparing the fair value of each segmentreporting unit to its book value, including goodwill (step 1). If the fair value of the segmentreporting unit is greater than its book value, no goodwill impairment exists. However, if the book value of the segmentreporting unit is greater than its determined fair value, goodwill impairment may exist and further testing is required to determine the amount, if any, of the actual impairment loss (step 2). The step 1 test utilizes a combination of two methods to determine the fair value of the reporting units. For both segments,reporting units, a discounted cash flow model is created projecting cash flows from operations of the business segment,reporting unit, the results of which are weighted 70%. For the banking segmentreporting unit a market multiple model utilizes price to net income and price to tangible book value inputs for closed transactions and for certain common sized institutions and the results are weighted 30%. For the insurance segmentreporting unit the market multiple model primarily utilizes price to sales for closed transactions and certain similar industry public companies and the results are weighted 30%. The end results for both segmentsreporting units are then compared to the respective book values to consider if impairment is evident. To determine the overall reasonableness of the segmentreporting unit computations, the combined computed fair value is then compared to the overall market capitalization of the consolidated Company to determine the level of implied control premium.


The discounted cash flow analysis uses estimates in the form of growth and attrition rates, anticipated rates of return, and discount rates. These estimates have a direct bearing on the results of the impairment testing and serve as the basis for management’s conclusions as to potential impairment.


The results of the step 1 analysis performed at October 31, 2010,during the fourth quarter of 2011 determined that no impairment was evident for the banking segment.reporting unit. For the insurance segmentreporting unit the step 1 analysis indicated an impairment. A step 2 analysis was performed for the insurance segmentreporting unit resulting in an impairment to goodwill of $1.04$1.24 million. An adjustment to the weighting of the results, deteriorationa decline in the market multiples used, further decline in the banking and retail insurance industry valuations, or further decline in our common stockCommon Stock price could provide evidenceresult in the future of potential impairment.


Income Taxes


The establishment of provisions for federal and state income taxes is a complex area of accounting which also involves the use of judgments and estimates in applying relevant tax statutes. The Company operates in multiple state tax jurisdictions and this requires the appropriate allocation of income and expense to each state based on a variety of apportionment or allocation bases. The Company is also subject to audit by federal and state tax authorities. Results of these audits may produce indicated liabilities which differ from Company estimates and provisions. The Company continually evaluates its exposure to possible tax assessments arising from audits and records its estimate of possible exposure based on current facts and circumstances.


Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of differing carrying values of assets and liabilities for tax and financial statement purposes that will reverse in future periods. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. When uncertainty exists concerning the recoverability of a deferred tax asset, the carrying value of the asset may be reduced by a valuation allowance. The amount of any valuation allowance established is based upon an estimate of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be recovered. Increases or decreases in the valuation allowance result in increases or decreases to the provision for income taxes.


Recent Acquisitions and Branching Activity


Divestitures

In July 2009, the Company acquired TriStone Community Bank (“TriStone”), based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. TriStone had two full service locations in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. At acquisition, TriStone had total assets of $166.82 million, total loans of $132.23 million and total deposits of $142.27 million. Each outstanding common share of TriStone was exchanged for .5262 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and the overall acquisition cost was $10.78 million. The acquisition of TriStone significantly augmented the Company’s market presence and human resources in the Winston-Salem, North Carolina market.

The total deal value, including the cash-out of outstanding stock options, was $32.29 million. Concurrent with the Coddle Creek acquisition, Mooresville Savings Bank, Inc., SSB, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Coddle Creek, was merged into the Bank. As a result of the acquisition and preliminary purchase price allocation, $14.41 million in goodwill was recorded which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the net assets acquired and identified intangibles.

GreenPoint

Greenpoint Insurance Group (“GreenPoint”Greenpoint”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has acquired seven insurance agencies and sold onethree since its acquisition by the Company in September 2007. GreenPointIn 2011, Greenpoint recorded a net gain of $67 thousand on the sale of two insurance agencies and has issued aggregate cash consideration of $190the potential to recognize an additional $650 thousand and $803 thousand in 2010 and 2009, respectively, inover time as

earn-out payments are received. In connection with those acquisitions. Terms for acquisitions prior to 2010 call for issuing further cash consideration of $2.86 million if certain operating targets are met. If those targets are met,sales, the value of the consideration ultimately paid will be added to the costs of the acquisitions. Acquisitions prior to 2010 added $692 thousand, $803 thousand, and $2.04Company eliminated $1.30 million of goodwill and $379 thousand of other intangibles to the Company’s balance sheet in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.2011.

The 2009 net loss to common shareholders was impacted by pre-tax impairment charges and losses on the sale of securities amounting to $90.54 million.2010. The Company’s return on average assets was 0.88% in 2011 compared to 0.97% in 2010,2010. Return on average common equity was 6.81% in 2011 compared to a negative 1.83% in 2009. Return on equity was 8.11% in 2010, compared to a negative 16.73% in 2009.


2010.

Net Interest Income


The primary source of the Company’s earnings is net interest income, the difference between income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Significant categories of earning assets are loans and securities while deposits and borrowings represent the major portion of interest bearinginterest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income was $72.03 million for 2011, as compared to $73.86 million for 2010, compared with $69.25 million for 2009, an increasea decrease of $4.61$1.83 million, or 6.65%2.48%. Tax equivalent net interest income totaled $77.22$74.99 million for 2010, an increase2011, a decrease of $4.67$2.23 million, or 6.44%2.89%, from $72.55$77.22 million reported for 2009.2010. The increasedecrease in tax equivalent net interest income was primarily due primarily to decreases in time depositsthe balances of loans and borrowing costs as a resultsecurities coupled with lower rates of repricing opportunities throughout a sustained low rate environment.


interest earned on those assets.

For purposes of the following discussion, comparison of net interest income is performed on a tax equivalent basis, which provides a common basis for comparing yields on earning assets exempt from federal income taxes to those assets which are fully taxable (see the table titled Average Balance Sheets and Net Interest Income Analysis).


Average earning assets increased $40.59decreased $44.31 million while average interest bearinginterest-bearing liabilities increased $15.91decreased $102.80 million during 20102011, as compared to the prior year. The changes include the full year impact of the July 2009 TriStone acquisition. The yield on average earning assets decreased 3339 basis points to 5.01% for 2011 from 5.40% for 2010 from 5.73% for 2009.2010. Short-term market interest rates remainedcontinued to remain low throughout 2010,2011, as the Federal Reserve Board held the “range” of zero to 25 basis points as its target for federal funds. The prevailing low interest rate environment was the largest driver in the overall decrease in the Company’s yield on average earning assets.


Total cost of average interest bearinginterest-bearing liabilities decreased 5335 basis points to 1.67%1.32% during 2010.2011. The Company’s time deposit portfolio experienced downward repricing during 2010,2011, as many of the higher-rate certificates were redeemed or renewed at lower rates, or not renewed.rates. The net result was an increasea decrease of 204 basis points in the net interest rate spread, or the difference between interest income on earning assets and expense on interest bearinginterest-bearing liabilities, for 20102011 compared to 2009.2010. The net interest rate spread for 20102011 was 3.69% compared to 3.73% compared with 3.53% for 2009.2010. The Company’s net interest margin, or net interest income to average earning assets, of 3.90%3.87% for 20102011 represents an increasea decrease of 163 basis points from 3.74%3.90% in 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses


The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to a level which, in management’s best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable losses within the existing loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses for 20102011 was $14.76$9.05 million, a decrease of $1.04$5.71 million compared with 2009.to 2010. The elevateddecrease in the loan loss provision is primarily attributableattributed to high loss factors asdecreasing net charge-offs increased during 2010. Qualitative2011; however, qualitative risk factors for the loan portfolio remained high, reflective of the higherelevated risk of inherent loan losses due to risingcontinued high unemployment, recessionary pressures, and devaluations of various categories of collateral. Net charge-offs for 2011 and 2010 were $9.32 million and 2009 were $12.55 million, and $9.31 million, respectively. ExpressedNet charge-offs, as a percentage of average loans, net charge-offs increaseddecreased to 0.67% for 2011 from 0.90% for 2010 from 0.70% in 2009.2010. See “Allowance“Financial Position – Allowance for Loan Losses” of this item for additional information.


Noninterest Income


Noninterest income consists of all revenues whichthat are not included in interest and fee income related to earning assets. Noninterest income for 2010,2011, exclusive of the impact of OTTI charges and gains on the sale of securities, and acquisition gains, was $32.56 million compared to $32.42 million compared with $32.37 million in 2009.2010, an increase of $135 thousand, or 0.42%.

Other operating expenses increased $1.84decreased $32 thousand in 2011 to $20.31 million, as compared to 2010. Contributing to the reduction in 2010 to $20.34 million, compared with 2009. The primary cause for the increaseother operating expenses were decreases in professional accounting fees, service fees, and regulatory assessments of $553 thousand, $373 thousand, and $211 thousand, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by increases in interchange expenses, consulting fees, communications expenses, and legal fees of $267 thousand, $151 thousand, $148 thousand, and $107 thousand, respectively. Also included in other operating expenses was a $2.32 million$362 thousand increase in losses on sale ofand other expenses related to foreclosed properties, which was $3.44 million in 2011 compared to $3.08 million in 2010 compared to $763 thousand in 2009.

As of December 31, 2010,2011, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment of $1.04$1.24 million atin the insurance agencyreporting unit. Despite strong operating performance and positive market experience in sales of the Company’s non-core agencies, market multiples and other valuation indicators remain depressed resulting in a lower valuation of the insurance segment.


The Company uses an efficiency ratio that is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating expense control and efficiency of operations. Management believes this ratio better focuses attention on the core operating performance of the Company over time than does a GAAP-based ratio, and is highly useful in comparing period-to-period operating performance of the Company’s core business operations. It is used by management as part of its assessment of its performance in managing noninterest expenses. However, this measure is supplemental and is not a substitute for an analysis of performance based on GAAP measures. The reader is cautioned that the efficiency ratio used by the Company may not be comparable to efficiency ratios reported by other financial institutions.


In general, the efficiency ratio used by the Company is noninterest expenses as a percentage of net interest income plus noninterest income. Noninterest expenses used in the calculation exclude amortization of intangibles and non-recurringnonrecurring expenses. Income for the ratio is increased for the favorable effect of tax-exempt income (see Average Balance Sheets and Net Interest Income Analysis), and excludes securities gains and losses, which vary widely from period to period without appreciably affecting operating expenses, non-recurringnonrecurring gains and losses, and OTTI charges. The measure is different from the GAAP-based efficiency ratio, which also is presented in this report, which is calculated using noninterest expense and income amounts as shown on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Both types of efficiency ratio calculations are set forth and are reconciled in the table below.

The (non-GAAP) efficiency ratios for continuing operations for 2011, 2010, and 2009 and 2008 were 59.09%59.23%, 59.10%60.03%, and 57.54%60.09%, respectively. The following table details the components used in the calculation of the efficiency ratios.

Income Tax Expense


Income tax expense is comprised of federal and state current and deferred income taxes on pre-tax earnings of the Company. Income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax income may vary significantly from statutory rates due to items of income and expense which are excluded, by law, from the calculation of taxable income. These items are commonly referred to as permanent differences. The most significant permanent differences for the Company include income on state and municipal securities which are exempt from federal income tax, certain dividend payments which are deductible by the Company, and the increases in the cash surrender values of life insurance policies.

2009. The increase in tax equivalent net interest income was primarily due to decreases in time deposits and borrowing costs as a result of repricing opportunities throughout a sustained low rate environment.

For purposes of the following discussion, comparison of net interest income is performed on a tax equivalent basis, which provides a common basis for comparing yields on earning assets exempt from federal income taxes to those assets which are fully taxable (see the table titled Average Balance Sheets and Net Interest Income Analysis).

The Company uses an efficiency ratio that is a non-GAAP financial measure$1.69 million. As of operating expense control and efficiency of operations. Management believes this ratio better focuses attention on the core operating performance ofDecember 31, 2010, the Company over time than doesrecognized a GAAP-based ratio, and is highly useful in comparing period-to-period operating performancegoodwill impairment of the Company’s core business operations. It is used by management as part of its assessment of its performance in managing noninterest expenses. However, this measure is supplemental and is not a substitute for an analysis of performance based on GAAP measures. The reader is cautioned that the efficiency ratio used by the Company may not be comparable to efficiency ratios reported by other financial institutions.

In general, the efficiency ratio used by the Company is noninterest expenses as a percentage of net interest income plus noninterest income. Noninterest expenses used$1.04 million in the calculation exclude amortization of intangibles and non-recurring expenses. Income for the ratio is increased for the favorable effect of tax-exempt income (see Average Balance Sheets and Net Interest Income Analysis), and excludes securities gains and losses, which vary widely from period to period without appreciably affecting operating expenses, non-recurring gains and losses, and OTTI charges. The measure is different from the GAAP-based efficiency ratio, which also is presented in this report, which is calculated using noninterest expense and income amounts as shown on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Both types of efficiency ratio calculations are set forth and are reconciled in the table below.

Income Tax Expense


Income tax expense is comprised of federal and state current and deferred income taxes on pre-tax earnings of the Company. Income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax income may vary significantly from statutory rates due to items of income and expense which are excluded, by law, from the calculation of taxable income. These items are commonly referred to as permanent differences. The most significant permanent differences for the Company include income on state and municipal securities which are exempt from federal income tax, certain dividend payments which are deductible by the Company, and the increases in the cash surrender values of life insurance policies.

Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are reviewed quarterly for possible OTTI. This review includes an analysis of the facts and circumstances of each individual investment such as the length of time the fair value has been below cost, timing and amount of contractual cash flows, the expectation for that security’s performance, the creditworthiness of the issuer and the Company’s intent to hold the security to recovery or maturity. If a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized. In the instance of a debt security which is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the Company determines the amount of the impairment due to credit and the amount due to other factors. The amount of impairment related to credit is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and the remainder of the impairment is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Allowance for Loan Losses


The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to earnings in the form of provisions and by recoveries of prior loan charge-offs and decreased by loan charge-offs. The provisions areprovision is calculated to bring the allowance to a level which, according to a systematic process of measurement, is reflective ofreflects the amount that management deems adequateestimates is needed to absorb probable losses.losses within the portfolio. Additional information regarding the determination of the allowance for loan losses can be found in Note“Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesPolicies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 hereof.


herein.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses was $26.21 million at December 31, 2011, compared to $26.48 million at December 31, 2010, compared with $24.28 million at December 31, 2009, an increasea decrease of $2.21 million.$277 thousand. The increasedecrease in the allowance for loan losses was primarily influenced by the effect of net charge-off activity during the year, which totaled $9.32 million as of December 31, 2011, as compared to $12.55 million as of December 31, 2010, as compared to $9.31 million as of December 31, 2009.


2010.

The Company determines the allowance for loan losses by making specific allocations to impaired loans that exhibit inherent weaknesses and various credit risk and general allocations to commercial loans, consumer residential real estate, and consumer loans by giving weight to risk ratings, historical loss trends and management’s judgment concerning those trends, and other relevant factors. The general allocations are determined through a methodology that utilizes a rolling five year average loss history that is adjusted for current qualitative or environmental factors that management deemdeems likely to cause estimated credit losses as of the evaluation date to differ from the historical loss experience. These factors may include, but are not limited to, actual versus estimated losses, regional and national economic conditions, including unemployment trends, business segment and portfolio concentrations, industry competition, interest rate trends, and the impact of government regulations. Management considers the allowance adequate based upon its analysis of the portfolio as of December 31, 2010;2011; however, no assurance can be made that additions to the allowance for loan losses will not be required in future periods.

IncludedAt December 31, 2011, there were no significant potential problem loans beyond those addressed in non-performing assets are $5.33the preceding table.

Non-accrual loans increased $5.07 million of unseasoned loan restructuringsto $24.49 million at December 31, 2010. During 2010, the Company was more active in restructuring loan terms for creditworthy customers. Approximately $828 thousand of the 2010 provision for loan losses was related to lowering the interest rate for borrowers under restructured terms. Non-accrual loans increased by $1.89 million2011, compared to $19.41 million at December 31, 2010, compared with $17.53 million at December 31, 2009. A2010.

These increases were offset by a $1.14$2.12 million decrease in the commercial construction segmentmulti-family residential loan class and a $1.35 million$787 thousand decrease in the land development segment.


Ongoing activity within the classification and categories of non-performingsingle family non-owner occupied loan class. Non-accrual loans includes collections on delinquencies, foreclosures, loan restructurings, and movements into or out of the non-performing classification as a result of changing customer business conditions. There were no loans 90 days past due and still accruing at December 31, 20102011, were primarily comprised of: 33.71% single family owner occupied loan class; 32.93% non-farm, non-residential loan class; and 17.61% commercial and industrial loan class. Approximately $2.94 million, or 12.02%, of non-accrual loans can be attributed to the TriStone loan portfolio that was acquired during the third quarter of 2009. OREO was $4.91 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $332 thousand from December 31, 2009, and is carried at the lesser of estimated net realizable value or cost. OREO increased from December 31, 2009, as non-performing loans were converted to foreclosed real estate. The principal components of OREO at December 31, 2010, are owner-occupied commercial real estate, residential real estate, and acquisition and development loans of $1.55 million, $1.30 million, and $884 thousand, respectively. OREO located in Winston-Salem and Mooresville, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; and Tennessee accounts for 27.71%, 25.24%, and 20.30%, respectively, of total OREO. The present foreclosure process in North Carolina prohibits more timely resolution of real estate secured loans within that state. At December 31, 2010, OREO consisted of 34 properties with an average value of $225 thousand and an average age of 8 months.

Loan restructurings at December 31, 2011, totaled $9.45 million, net of $3.27 million on non-accrual status, and the allowance for loan losses related to restructured loans totaled $1.14 million. When restructuring loans for troubled borrowers, the Company generally makes concessions in interest rates and amortization terms. After six months of satisfactory payment performance restructured loans are generally removed from non-performing loans, but remain identified as impaired until full payment or other satisfaction of the obligation. As of December 31, 2011, there were no outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers under restructured loans.

Ongoing activity within the classification and categories of non-performing loans includes collections on delinquencies, foreclosures, loan restructurings, and movements into or out of the non-performing classification as a result of changing economic conditions, borrower financial capacity, and resolution efforts on the part of the Company. There were no loans 90 days past due and still accruing at December 31, 2011 or 2010. OREO was $5.91 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $1.00 million from December 31, 2010, and is carried at the lesser of estimated net realizable value or cost. OREO increased from December 31, 2010, as a result of loan resolution and foreclosure activity. OREO at December 31, 2011, was primarily comprised of: $2.35 million in the non-farm, non-residential loan class, $1.50 million in the single family non-owner occupied loan class, and $1.10 million in the single family owner occupied loan class. OREO located in Winston-Salem and Mooresville, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; and Tennessee accounted for 50.48%, 20.27%, and 9.29%, respectively, of total OREO at December 31, 2011. The present foreclosure process in North Carolina prohibits more timely resolution of real estate secured loans within that state. At December 31, 2011, OREO consisted of 63 properties with an average holding period of 5 months. During the year ended December 31, 2011, net losses on the sale of OREO totaled $2.38 million.

Total delinquent loans as of December 31, 2011, measured 2.62% of total loans, of which 0.87% were comprised of loans 30-89 days delinquent and 1.75% were comprised of loans in non-accrual status. Total delinquent loans have increased approximately $233 thousand, or 0.64%, since December 31, 2010. Non-performing loans, comprised of non-accrual loans and unseasoned loan restructurings, measured 1.80% and 1.78% of total loans as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company has considered all loans determined to be impaired in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2010. The following table presents additional detail of non-performing and restructured loans for the five years ended December 31, 2010. Additional information regarding non-performing loans can be found in Note 5 – Allowance for Loan Losses of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 hereof.

Although total delinquent loans increased during 2010, the Company has not experienced the significant credit quality deterioration experienced by many of its peers. Non-performing loans, comprised of non-accrual loans and unseasoned loan restructurings,  measured 1.78% and 1.36% of total loans as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. By way of comparison, the Company’s Federal Reserve Board peer group of bank holding companies with total assets between $1 and $3 billion at September 30, 2010, had non-performing loans measured at 3.71% of total loans.

The primary composition of non-accrual loans is: 32.78% single family residential mortgage; 24.06% non-farm, non-residential commercial; 20.22% commercial and industrial; and 12.69% multi-family residential. Approximately $3.76 million, or 19.35%, of non-accrual loans is attributed to the TriStone loan portfolio that was acquired during the third quarter of 2009.

2011. The Company’s provision for loan losses and the allowance for loan losses remained elevated during 20102011 due to the weakness in the real estate market and the recessionaryweak economic conditions experienced during the year. As a result of the increase inelevated levels of charge-offs and weakness in light of the broader economy, the Company deemed it appropriate to maintain increased keyan elevated level of qualitative factors that adjust upward the historical loss rates in its allowance model. Those increases have resulted in increases in the allowance as a percentage of total loans.

As of December 31, 2010, there were no outstanding commitments to lend additional dollars to borrowers related to restructured loans.

The Company maintains an active and robust problem credit identification system. When a credit is identified as exhibiting characteristics of weakening, the Company will assess the credit for potential impairment. Examples of weakening include delinquency and deterioration of the borrower’s capacity to repay as determined by our ongoing credit review function. As part of the impairment review, the Company evaluates the current collateral value. It is the Company’s standard practice to obtain updated third party collateral valuations to assist management in measuring potential impairment of a credit and the amount of the impairment to be recorded, if any.


Internal collateral valuations are generally performed within two to four weeks of the original identification of potential impairment and receipt of the third party valuation. The internal valuation is performed by comparing the original appraisal to current local real estate market conditions and experience and considers expected liquidation costs. The result of the internal valuation is compared to the outstanding loan balance, and, if warranted, a specific impairment reserve will be established at the completion of the internal evaluation.


A third party evaluation is typically received within thirty to forty-five days of the completion of the internal evaluation. Once received, the third party evaluation is reviewed by Special Assets staff and/or Credit Appraisal staff for reasonableness. Once the evaluation is reviewed and accepted, discounts to fair market value are applied based upon such factors as the bank’s historical liquidation experience of like collateral, and an estimated net realizable value is established. That estimated net realizable value is then compared to the outstanding loan balance to determine the amount of specific impairment reserve. The specific impairment reserve, if necessary, is adjusted to reflect the results of the updated evaluation. A specific impairment reserve is generally maintained on impaired loans during the time period while awaiting receipt of the third party evaluation, as well as on impaired loans that continue to make some form of payment andwhere liquidation is not imminent. Impaired loans not meeting the aforementioned criteria and that do not have a specific impairment reserve typically have been previously written down through a partial charge-offcharge off to their net realizable value.

The Company’s Special Assets staff assumes the management and monitoring of all loans determined to be impaired. While awaiting the completion of the third party appraisal, the Company generally begins to complete the tasks necessary to gain control of the collateral and prepare for liquidation, including, but not limited to engagement of counsel, inspection of collateral, and continued communication with the borrower, if appropriate. Special Assets staff also regularly reviews the relationship to identify any potential adverse developments during this time.


Generally, the only difference between current appraised value, adjusted for liquidation costs, and the carrying amount of the loan less the specific reserve is any downward adjustment to the appraised value that the Company’s Special Assets staff determines appropriate. These differences generally consist of costs to sell the property, as well as a deflator for the devaluation of property when banks are the sellers, and we deemmanagement deems these fair value adjustments.


Based on prior experience, the Bank does not generally return loans to performing status after the loans have been partially charged off. Generally, creditsCredits identified as impaired move quickly through the process towards ultimate resolution of the problem credit.

Retail repurchase agreements are sold to customers as an alternative to availabletraditional deposit products and commercial treasury accounts. At December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, wholesale repurchase agreements totaled $50.00 million. Themillion and the weighted average rate of those long-term, wholesale repurchase agreements was 3.71% at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.. The underlying securities included in retail repurchase agreements remain under the Company’s control during the effective periodterm of the agreements.

Risk-Based Capital


Risk-based capital guidelines promulgated by state and federal banking agencies weight balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet commitments based on inherent risks associated with the respective asset types. The Company’s and the leverage ratio measureBank’s capital adequacy of banking institutions. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 14.07% compared with 12.56% in 2009. The Company’s total risk-based capital-to-asset ratio was 15.33% at December 31, 2010, compared with 13.81% at December 31, 2009. Both of these ratios are well abovepresented in the current minimum level of 8% prescribedfollowing table for bank holding companies by the Federal Reserve Board.  The leverage ratio is the measurement of total tangible equity to total assets. The Company’s leverage ratio at December 31, 2010, was 9.44% versus 8.51% at December 31, 2009, both of which are well above the minimum levels prescribed by the Federal Reserve Board.


The OCC has issued an Individual Minimum Capital Ratio directive to the Bank which requires it to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.50%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 10.00%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.50%. The Bank’s total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 14.18%, 12.92%, and 8.66%, respectively, at December 31, 2010. dates indicated:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to respond to demands for funds and is primarily derived from maturing investment securities, overnight investments, periodic repayment of loan principal, and the Company’s ability to generate new deposits. The Company also has the ability to attract short-term sources of funds and draw on credit lines that have been established at financial institutions to meet cash needs.


Total

At December 31, 2011, total liquidity of $586.41$468.87 million at December 31, 2010, iswas comprised of the following: unencumbered cash on hand and deposits with other financial institutions of $111.12$47.29 million; unpledged available-for-sale securities of $177.39$193.63 million; held-to-maturity securities due within one year of $1.07$1.05 million; FHLB credit availability of $202.28$132.39 million; and federal funds lines availability of $94.55$94.51 million.


Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally used to pay down borrowings. On a longer-term basis, the Company maintains a strategy of investing in securities, mortgage-backed obligations and loans with varying maturities. The Company uses these funds to meet ongoing commitments, to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, fund loan commitments, and maintain a portfolio of securities.


The Company also maintains policies and procedures regarding liquidity contingency planning. The procedures call for liquidity monitoring through trending and ratio analysis, as well as forecasting budgeted and stressed scenarios. The procedures provide guidance for potential action to be taken when certain liquidity thresholds are met.


Since the Company is a holding company and does not conduct significant operations, its primary sources of liquidity are dividends upstreamed from the Bank and borrowings from outside sources. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank. See Note“Note 14 – Regulatory Capital Requirements and RestrictionsRestrictions” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 hereofherein regarding such dividends. At December 31, 2010,2011, the Company had liquid assets, including cash and investment securities, totaling $21.37$25.35 million.


At December 31, 2010,2011, approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to $209.98$194.27 million and certificates of deposittime deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $463.53$355.84 million. Management believes that the Company has adequate resources to fund outstanding commitments and could either adjust rates on certificates of deposit in order to retain or attract deposits in changing interest rate environments or replace such deposits with advances from the FHLB or other funds providers if it proved to be cost effective to do so.

Wealth Management Services

As part of its community banking services, the Company offers trust management and estate administration services through its Trust and Financial Services Division (“Trust Division”). The Trust Division reported a total market value of assets under management of $426$444 million and $411$426 million at December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, respectively. The Trust Division manages inter vivos trusts and trusts under will, develops and administers employee benefit plans and individual retirement plans and manages and settles estates. Fiduciary fees for these services are charged on a schedule related to the size, nature and complexity of the account.


The Company also offers investment advisory services through the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, IPC,First Community Wealth Management, which reported assets under management of $433$429 million and $414$433 million at December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, respectively. Revenues consist primarily of commissions on assets under management and investment advisory fees.


Insurance Services

The Company offers insurance services through its subsidiary GreenPoint.Greenpoint. Revenues are primarily derived from commissions paid by issuing companies on policies sold.the sale of policies. Commission revenue was $6.20 million for 2011 compared to $6.73 million for 2010 compared to $6.99 million for 2009.2010. The decrease in commission revenue reflects the sale of two agency offices and soft conditions impacting policy and premium levels.

ITEM 7A.              Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

ITEM 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Company’s profitability is dependent to a large extent upon its net interest income, which is the difference between its interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and its interest expense on interest bearinginterest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets reprice differently than its interest bearinginterest-bearing liabilities. The Company manages its mix of assets and liabilities with the goals of limiting its exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating its sources and uses of funds while maintaining an acceptable level of net interest income given the current interest rate environment.


The Company’s primary component of operational revenue, net interest income, is subject to variation as a result of changes in interest rate environments in conjunction with unbalanced repricing opportunities on earning assets and interest bearinginterest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate risk has four primary components includingcomponents: repricing risk, basis risk, yield curve risk and option risk. Repricing risk occurs when earning assets and paying liabilities reprice at differing times as interest rates change. Basis risk occurs when the underlying rates on the assets and liabilities the institution holds change at different levels or in varying degrees. Yield curve risk is the risk of adverse consequences as a result of unequal changes in the spread between two or more rates for different maturities for the same instrument. Lastly, option risk is the result of “embedded options”,due to embedded options, often called put or call options, given or sold to holders of financial instruments.


In order to mitigate the effect of changes in the general level of interest rates, the Company manages repricing opportunities and thus, its interest rate sensitivity. The Company seeks to control its interest rate risk (“IRR”) exposure to insulate net interest income and net earnings from fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. To measure its exposure to IRR,interest rate risk, quarterly simulations of net interest income are performed using financial models that project net interest income through a range of possible interest rate environments including rising, declining, most likely and flat rate scenarios. The simulation model used by the Company captures all earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments and combines the various factors affecting rate sensitivity into an earnings outlook and estimates of the economic value of equity for a range of assumed interest rate scenarios. The results of these simulations indicate the existence and severity of IRRinterest rate risk in each of those rate environments based upon the current balance sheet position, assumptions as to changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-paying liabilities management’sand the Company’s estimate of yields to be attained in those future rate environments and rates that will be paid on various deposit instruments and borrowings. Specific strategies for managementThese assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely predict the impact of IRR have included shorteningfluctuations in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and the amortized maturity of new fixed rate loans, increasingCompany’s strategies. However, the volume of adjustable rate loans to reduce the repricing term of the Bank’s interest-earning assets, and monitoring the term structure of liabilities to maintain a balanced mix of maturity and repricing to mitigate the potential exposure. Theearnings simulation model used byis currently the best tool available to the Company captures all earning assets, interest bearing liabilities and all off-balance sheet financial instruments and combines the various factors affecting rate sensitivity into an earnings outlook. Based upon the latest simulation, the Company believes that it is in a relatively neutral position with respect to sensitivity toindustry for managing interest rate risk.


The Company has established policy limits for tolerance of interest rate risk based on the income simulation compared with forecasted results.in various interest rate scenarios. In addition, the policy addresses exposure limits to changes in the economic value of equity according to predefined policy guidelines. The most recent simulation indicates that current exposure to interest rate risk is within the Company’s defined policy limits.

The following table summarizes the impact of immediate and sustained rate shocks in the interest rate environment on net interest income and the economic value of equity as of December 31, 20102011 and 2009.2010. The model simulates plus 300 andto minus 100 basis point changes from the base case rate simulation. This table, whichsimulation and illustrates the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes is based upon numerous assumptions including relative and estimated levels of key interest rates over a twelve-month time period. This modeling technique, although useful, does not take into account all strategies that management might undertake in response to a sudden and sustained rate shock as depicted. Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to prepayment and refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes, and other internal and external variables. As of December 31, 2010,2011, the Federal Open Market Committee maintained a target range for federal funds of 0 to 25 basis points, rendering a complete downward shock of 200 basis points as not realistic and not meaningful.less meaningful; accordingly, downward rate scenarios are limited to minus 100 basis points. In the downward rate shocks presented, benchmark interest rates are droppedassumed at levels with floors near 0%.

The rate sensitivity simulation results show significantly improved performance in upward rate shock environments. The improvement is largely due to increases in adjustable rate investment securities and low-cost, stable non-maturity deposits which were partially offset by decreases in cash balances.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary effect of inflation on the operations of the Company is reflected in increased operating costs. In management’s opinion, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's consolidated performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily fluctuate in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)


Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Note 1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of First Community Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries (“First Community” or the “Company”) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and to predominant practices within the banking industry. In preparing financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity are not assets of the Company and are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


Accounting Standards Codification

The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became effective on July 1, 2009. At that date, the ASC became FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative U.S. GAAP applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and Emerging Issues Task Force guidance and related literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.

Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements of First Community include the accounts of all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Effective January 1, 2008, theThe Company operates within two business segments, community banking and insurance services.


Use of Estimates


In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Financial statement items requiring the significant use of estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, fair values of investment securities, fair value adjustment of acquired businesses and the establishment of the allowance for loan losses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, time deposits with other banks, federal funds sold, and interest bearinginterest-bearing balances on deposit with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) that are available for immediate withdrawal. Interest and income taxes paid were as follows:


  2010  2009  2008 
(Amounts in Thousands)         
Interest $30,609  $39,871  $46,381 
Income Taxes  5,300   9,318   8,777

Income Taxes

   8,500     5,300     9,318  

Pursuant to agreements with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“FRB”), the Company maintains a cash balance of $250 thousand in lieu of charges for check clearing and other services. The Company maintained a cash deposit of $1.07 million at December 31, 2010, with a counterparty to collateralize an interest rate swap.


Investment Securities


Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time, including securities that management intends to use as part of its asset/liability management strategy and that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, or other similar factors, are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at estimated fair value. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation in fair value above or below amortized cost is included in stockholders’ equity, net of income taxes, and is entitled “Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).”under the category of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted to income over the life of the security. Gain or loss on sale is based on the specific identification method.

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Investments in debt securities that management has determined it does not intend to sell and has asserted that it is not more likely than not that it will have to sell, are deemed to be held to maturity, and are carried at amortized cost. Premiums and discounts are amortized to expense and accreted to income over the lives of the securities. Gain or loss on the call or maturity of investment securities, if any, is recorded based on the specific identification method. Investments that management has determined it does intend to sell and has asserted that it is more likely than not that it will have to sell are carried at the lower of amortized cost or market value.


The Company performs an extensive review of the investment securities portfolio quarterly to determine the cause of declines in the fair value of each security within each segment of the portfolio. The Company uses inputs provided by an independent third party to determine the fair values of its investment securities portfolio. Inputs provided by the third party are reviewed by management. Evaluations of the causes of the unrealized losses are performed to determine whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary in nature. Considerations such as whether the Company determines it has the intent to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security, recoverability of the invested amounts

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

over the Company’s intended holding period, severity in pricing decline and receipt of amounts contractually due, for example, are applied in determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired. If a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized. In the instance of a debt security which is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the Company determines the amount of the impairment due to credit and the amount due to other factors. The amount of impairment related to credit is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and the remainder of the impairment is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Loans held for sale primarily consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market and are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value determined on an aggregate basis. The long-term, fixed rate loans are sold to investors on a best efforts basis such that the Company does not absorb the interest rate risk involved in the loans. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined by reference to quoted prices for loans with similar coupon rates and terms.


The Company enters into rate-lockinterest rate lock commitments it makes to(“IRLCs”) with customers on mortgage loans with the intention to sell the loan in the secondary market. The derivatives arising from the rate-lock commitmentsIRLCs are recorded at fair value in other assets and liabilities and changes in that fair value are included in other income. The fair value of the rate-lock commitmentIRLC derivatives are determined by reference to quoted prices for loans with similar coupon rates and terms. Gains and losses on the sale of those loans are included in other income.


Loans Held for Investment


Loans held for investment are carried at the principal amount outstanding less any write-downs which may be necessary to reduce individual loans to net realizable value. Individually significant loans are evaluated for impairment when evidence of impairment exists. Impairment allowances are recorded through specific additions to the allowance for loan losses. Loans are considered past due when principal or interest becomes contractually delinquent by 30 days or more. Consumer loans are charged off against the allowance for loan losses when the loan becomes 120 days past due (180 days if secured by residential real estate). All other loans are charged off against the allowance for loan losses after collection attempts have been exhausted, which generally is within 120 days. Recoveries of loans charged off are credited to the allowance for loan losses in the period received.


Allowance for Loan Losses


The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management deems sufficient to absorb probable losses inherent in the portfolio, and is based on management’s evaluation of the risks in the loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of loan activity. The Company consistently applies a review process to periodically evaluate loans for changes in credit risk. This process serves as the primary means by which the Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.


The Company determines the allowance for loan losses by making specific allocations to impaired loans that exhibit inherent weaknesses and various credit risk factors, and general allocations to commercial loans, consumer residential real estate, and consumer loans are developedby giving weight to risk ratings, historical loss trends and management’s judgment concerning those trends, and other relevant factors. The general allocations are determined through a methodology that utilizes a rolling five year average loss history that is adjusted for current qualitative or environmental factors that management deemdeems likely to cause estimated credit losses as of the evaluation date to differ from the historical loss experience. These factors may include, but are not limited to, actual versus estimated losses, regional and national economic conditions, including unemployment trends, business segment and portfolio concentrations, industry competition, interest rate trends, and the impact of government regulations. The foregoing analysis is performed by management to evaluate the portfolio and calculate an estimated valuation allowance through a quantitative and qualitative analysis that applies risk factors to those identified risk areas.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

This risk management evaluation is applied at both the portfolio level for non-impaired loans and the individual loan level for impaired commercial loans while the level of consumer and residential mortgage loan allowance is determined primarily on a total portfolio level based on a review of historical loss percentages and other qualitative factors including concentrations, industry specific factors and economic conditions. The commercial portfolio requires more specific analysis of individually significant loans and the borrower’s underlying cash flow, business conditions, capacity for debt repayment and the valuation of secondary sources of payment, such as collateral. This analysis may result in specifically identified weaknesses and corresponding specific impairment allowances. While allocations are made to specific loans and classifications within the various categories of loans, the allowance for loan losses is available for all loan losses.


The use of various estimates and judgments in the Company’s ongoing evaluation of the required level of allowance can significantly impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition and may result in either greater provisions against earnings to increase the allowance or reduced provisions based upon management’s current view of portfolio and economic conditions and the application of revised estimates and assumptions. Differences between actual loan loss experience and estimates are reflected through adjustments either increasing or decreasing the allowance based upon current measurement criteria.

Long-term Investments


Certain long-term equity investments representing less than 20% ownership are accounted for under the cost method, are carried at cost, and are included in other assets. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, these equity investments totaled $1.86 million.$574 thousand and $570 thousand, respectively. These investments in operating companies represent required long-term investments in insurance, investment, and service company affiliates or consortiums which serve as vehicles for the delivery of various support services. In accordance with the cost method, dividends received are recorded as current period revenues and there is no recognition of the Company’s proportionate share of net operating income or loss. The Company has determined that fair value measurement is not practical, and further, nothing has come to the attention of the Company that would indicate impairment of any of these investments.


As a condition to membership in the FHLB system, the Company is required to subscribe to a minimum level of stock in the FHLB of Atlanta (“FHLBA”). The Company feels this ownership position provides access to relatively inexpensive wholesale and overnight funding. The Company accounts for FHLBA and Federal Reserve BankFRB stock as a long-term investment in other assets. At December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, the Company owned $12.24$10.82 million and $13.70$12.24 million in FHLBA stock, respectively, which is classified as other assets. The Company’s policy is to review the stock for impairment at each reporting period. During the year ended December 31, 2010,2011, FHLBA repurchased excess activity-based stock from the Company and paid quarterly dividends. At December 31, 2010,2011, FHLBA was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements. Based on the Company’s review, it believes that as of December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, its FHLBA stock was not impaired.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company owned $4.78 million in FRB stock.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Useful lives range from 5five to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment; three to five years for software, hardware, and data handling equipment; and 10 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements. Land improvements are amortized over a period of 20 years, and leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life or the term of the lease plus the first optional renewal period, when renewal is reasonably assured. Maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations while improvements that extend the economic useful life of the underlying asset are capitalized. Disposition gains and losses are reflected in current operations.


The Company leases various properties within its branch network. Leases generally have initial terms of up to 20 years and most contain options to renew with reasonable increases in rent. All leases are accounted for as operating leases.


Other Real Estate Owned


Other real estate owned and acquired through foreclosure is stated at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Loan losses arising from the acquisition of such properties are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Expenses incurred in connection with operating the properties, subsequent write-downs and gains or losses upon sale are included in other noninterest expense.


Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets


The excess of the cost of an acquired company over the fair value of the net assets and identified intangibles acquired is recorded as goodwill. The net carrying amount of goodwill was $84.91$83.06 million and $84.65$84.91 million at December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, respectively. A portion of the purchase price in certain transactions has been allocated to values associated with the future earnings potential of acquired deposits and is being amortized over the estimated lives of the deposits rangingthat range from one to eightseven years while the weighted average remaining life of these core deposits is 6.445.83 years. As of December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, the balance of core deposit intangibles was $2.85$2.20 million and $3.50$2.85 million, respectively, net of corresponding accumulated amortization was $5.09of $5.74 million and $4.44$5.09 million, respectively. The annual amortization expense for all intangible assets for 2012 and the succeeding four years is $802 thousand, $728 thousand, $706 thousand, $706 thousand, and $600 thousand, respectively. Greenpoint’s acquisition of GreenPoint, and its continued acquisitions, added $1.31 millionsales activity eliminated $618 thousand of goodwill and other intangible assets for the period ended December 31, 2010. The annual amortization expense of all intangible assets for 2011 and the succeeding four years are $1.05 million, $855 thousand, $811 thousand, $758 thousand, and $758 thousand, respectively.

2011.

The Company reviews and tests goodwill annually in the fourth quarter for potential impairment on an annual basis in October. Goodwill is tested forpossible impairment by comparing the fair value of each segmentreporting unit to its book value (step 1), including goodwill. If the fair value of the segmentreporting unit is greater than its book value, no goodwill impairment exists. However, if the book value of the segmentreporting unit is greater than its determined fair value, goodwill impairment may exist and further testing is required to determine the amount, if any, of the actual impairment

loss (step 2). The step 1 test utilizes a combination of two methods to determine the fair value of the reporting units. For both segments,reporting units, a discounted cash flow model uses estimates in the form of growth and attrition rates of return and discount rates to project cash flows from operations of the business segment,reporting unit, the results of which are weighted 70%. For the banking segment,reporting unit, a market multiple model utilizes price to net income and price to tangible book value inputs for closed transactions and for certain common sized institutions and the results are weighted 30%. For the insurance segment,reporting unit, the market multiple model primarily utilizes price to sales for closed transactions and certain similar industry public companies and the results are weighted 30%. The end results for both segmentsreporting units are then compared towith the respective book values to consider if impairment is evident. To determine the overall reasonableness of the segmentreporting unit computations, the combined computed fair value is then compared towith the overall market capitalization of the consolidated Company to determine the level of implied control premium. The analysis performed for 2011 and 2010 indicated an impairment of goodwill at the insurance agency subsidiaryreporting unit of $1.24 million and $1.04 million.

Other Assets


In addition to deferred tax assets,FHLB stock and FRB stock, other assets included $42.24$44.39 million and $40.97$42.30 million in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies owned by the Company of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $12.24 million and $13.70 million in FHLBA stock at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 2009,$28.28 million and $46.74 million in current and deferred tax assets at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


In connection with the bank-owned life insurance, the Company has also entered into Life Insurance Endorsement Method Split Dollar Agreements with certain of the individuals whose lives are insured. Under these agreements, the Company shares 80% of the death benefits (after recovery of cash surrender value) with the designated beneficiaries of the plan participants under life insurance contracts. The Company, as owner of the policies, retains a 20% interest in life proceeds and a 100% interest in the cash surrender value of the policies. Split Dollar Agreementsdollar agreements totaled $873 thousand and $1.19 million and $763 thousand at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and 2009, respectively. The Company recorded income of $316 thousand on split dollar agreements for the year ended 2011 as a result of revised projections that indicated lower expenses than previously accrued. Expenses associated with split dollar agreements weretotaled $72 thousand and $89 thousand in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

for the year ended 2010.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase


Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally accounted for as collateralized financing transactions. Securities, generally U.S. government and federal agency securities, pledged as collateral under these arrangements cannot be sold or repledged by the secured party. The fair value of the collateral provided to a third party is continually monitored, and additional collateral is provided as appropriate.


Loan Interest Income Recognition


Accrual of interest on loans is based generally on the daily amount of principal outstanding. Loans are considered past due when either principal or interest payments are delinquent by 30 or more days. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest on loans based on the payment status and evaluation of the related collateral and the financial strength of the borrower. The accrual of interest income is normally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest. Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the loan is well secured and in process of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

collection. When interest accruals are discontinued, interest accrued and not collected in the current year is reversed from income and interest accrued and not collected from prior years is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Interest income realized on impaired loans is recognized upon receipt if the impaired loan is on a non-accrual basis. Accrual of interest on non-accrual loans may be resumed if the loan is brought current and follows a period of substantialsustained performance, including six months of regular principal and interest payments. Accrual of interest on impaired loans is generally continued unless the loan becomes delinquent 90 days or more.


Loan Fee Income


Loan origination and underwriting fees are reduced by direct costs associated with loan processing, including salaries, review of legal documents and obtainment of appraisals. Net origination fees and costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loan. Loan commitment fees are deferred and amortized over the related commitment period. Net deferred loan fees were $1.15$1.69 million and $632 thousand$1.15 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and 2009, respectively


Advertising Expenses


Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred. Amounts recognized for the three years ended December 31, 2010,2011, are detailed in Note“Note 15 – Other Operating ExpensesIncome and Expense” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 hereof.


herein.

Equity-Based Compensation


The cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments including options and restricted stock awards generally are measured at fair value at the grant date. The effect of option shares on earnings per share relates to the dilutive effect of the underlying options outstanding. To the extent the granted exercise share price is less than the current market price, or “in the money,” there is an economic incentive for the options to be exercised and an increase in the dilutive effect on earnings per share.


Income Taxes


Income tax expense is comprised of federal and state current and deferred income taxes on pre-tax earnings of the Company. Income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax income may vary significantly from statutory rates due to items of income and expense which are excluded, by law, from the calculation of taxable income. These items are commonly referred to as permanent differences. The most significant permanent differences for the Company include income on state and municipal securities which are exempt from federal income tax, income on bank-owned life insurance, and tax credits generated by investments in low income housing and rehabilitation of historic structures.


The Company includes interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities in income tax expense. The Company and its subsidiaries’ tax filings for the years ended December 31, 2007 through 20092010 are currently open to audit under statutes of limitation by the Internal Revenue Service and various state tax departments.


Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Earnings Per Common Share


Basic earnings per common share are determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share are determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding, which includes the dilutive effect of stock options, warrants, and contingently issuable shares, and convertible preferred shares. The dilutive effects of stock options, warrants, and contingently issuable shares arewere not considered for the year ended December 31, 2009, because of the reported net loss available to common shareholders.

Variable Interest Entities


The Company maintains ownership positions in various entities which it deems variable interest entities (“VIE’s”). These VIE’s include certain tax credit limited partnerships and other limited liability companies which provide aviation services, insurance brokerage, title insurance, and other financial and related services. Based on the Company’s analysis, it is a non-primary beneficiary; accordingly, these entities do not meet the criteria for consolidation. The carrying value of VIE’s was $1.86$1.70 million and $1.81$1.86 million at December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, respectively. The Company’s maximum possible loss exposure was $1.86$1.70 million and $1.62$1.86 million at December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, respectively. Management does not believe net losses, if any, resulting from its involvement with theownership in these entities discussed above will be material.


Derivative Instruments


The Company enters into derivative transactions principally to protect against the risk of adverse price or interest rate movements on the value of certain assets and liabilities and on future cash flows. In addition, certain contracts and commitments are defined as derivatives under generally accepted accounting principles.

All derivative instruments are carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Special hedge accounting provisions are provided, which permit the change in the fair value of the hedged item related to the risk being hedged to be recognized in earnings in the same period and in the same income statement line as the change in the fair value of the derivative.

Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedged transaction.

Accounting Standards Updates


Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)

In April 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standard CodificationUpdate (“ASC”ASU”) Topic 310, Receivables. New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 310 amends prior guidance to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about an entity’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of its financing receivables by providing additional information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s credit risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses.Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (‘TDR’),” which clarifies when creditors should classify loan modifications as TDRs. The new authoritative guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods endingbeginning on or after June 15, 2011, and is applied retrospectively to restructurings at the beginning of the year of adoption. The guidance on measuring the impairment of a receivable restructured in a troubled restructuring is effective on a prospective basis. The Company adopted the new guidance during the third quarter of 2011 and the new disclosures are presented in “Note 5 – Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Quality” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein.

In April 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements,” which simplifies the accounting for financial assets transferred under repurchase agreements and similar arrangements by eliminating the transferor’s ability criteria from the assessment of effective control over those assets as well as the related implementation guidance. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010, for public entities.2011, and is applied on a prospective basis. The Company adoptedis currently assessing the provisionsimpact on its financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in the U.S. GAAP and IFRS,” which was issued primarily to provide largely identical guidance about fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and U.S. GAAP. The new standards do not extend the use of fair value but rather provide guidance about how fair value should be determined where it already is required or permitted under IFRS or U.S. GAAP. For U.S. GAAP, most of the new authoritative accountingchanges are clarifications of existing guidance under ASC Topic 310 duringor wording changes to align with IFRS. Public companies are required to apply the fourth quarterstandard prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its financial statements.

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of 2010. Other thanComprehensive Income,” which revises the additional disclosures, the adoption of themanner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance had no significant impact onremoves the Company’s financial statements.


FASBpresentation options in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. On January 1, 2009, new accounting guidance under ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” became applicable to the Company’s accounting for business combinations closing on or after January 1, 2009. ASC Topic 805 requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities220 and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date. Any contingent consideration is also required to be recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related costs are to be expensed as incurred. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies are to be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. ASC Topic 805 also expands required disclosures regarding the nature and financial effect of business combinations. In 2009, the Company recorded the acquisition of TriStone Community Bank in accordance with the new accounting guidance.

FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation.  New accounting guidance amended prior guidance to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. New authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” amends prior guidance that requires entities to disclose additional information regarding assetsreport components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and liabilities that are transferred between levels of the fair value hierarchy. Entities are also required to disclose information in the Level 3 roll forward about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. In addition to these new disclosure requirements, existing guidance pertaining to the level of disaggregation at which fair value disclosures should be made and the requirements to disclose information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements is further clarified.interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company adoptedis currently assessing the new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820 in the first quarter of 2010 and new disclosures are presented in Note 12 – Fair Value of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Other than the additional disclosures, the adoption of the new guidance had no significant impact on the Company’sits financial statements.

In September 2011, FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. New authoritative accountingissued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” which simplifies how an entity tests goodwill for impairment.

At December 31, 2011, the combined depreciation in value of the 28 individual securities in an unrealized loss position was 4.51% of the combined reported value of the aggregate securities portfolio. At December 31, 2010, the combined depreciation in value of the 214 individual securities in an unrealized loss position was 5.93% of the combined reported value of the aggregate securities portfolio. At December 31, 2009, the combined depreciation in value of the 89 individual securities in an unrealized loss position was 5.64% of the combined reported value of the aggregate securities portfolio.


The Company reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). The analysis differs depending upon the type of investment security being analyzed. For debt securities, the Company has determined that except for a pooled trust preferred security, it does not intend to sell securities that are impaired and has asserted that it is not more likely than not that itthe Company will have to sell impaired securities before recovery of the impairment occurs. The Company’s assertionThis determination is based upon itsthe Company’s investment strategy for the particular type of debt security and the Company’sits cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position.


For non-beneficial interest debt securities, the Company analyzes several qualitative factors such as the severity and duration of the impairment, adverse conditions within the issuing industry, prospects for the issuer, performance of the security, changes in rating by rating agencies and other qualitative factors to determine if the impairment will be recovered. Non-beneficial interest debt securities consist of U.S. government agency securities, states and political subdivisions, and single issue trust preferred securities, and FDIC-backed securities. If it is determined that there is evidence that the impairment will not be recovered, the Company performs a present value calculation to determine the amount of credit related impairment and records any credit related OTTI through earnings and the non-credit related OTTI through other comprehensive income (“OCI”). During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and 2009,the Company incurred no OTTI charges were incurred related to non-beneficial interest debt securities. The temporary impairment on these securities is primarily related to changes in interest rates, certain disruptions in the credit markets, destabilization in the Eurozone, and other current economic factors.

For beneficial interest debt securities, the Company reviews cash flow analyses on each applicable security to determine if an adverse change in cash flows expected to be collected has occurred. Beneficial interest debt securities consist of mortgage-backed securities and pooled trust preferred securities.securities, corporate FDIC insured securities, and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). An adverse change in cash flows expected to be collected has occurred if the present value of cash flows previously projected is greater than the present value of cash flows projected at the current reporting date and less than the current book value. If an adverse change in cash flows is deemed to have occurred, then an OTTI has occurred. The Company then compares the present value of cash flows using the current yield for the current reporting period to the reference amount, or current net book value, to determine the credit-related OTTI. The credit-related OTTI is then recorded through earnings and the non-credit related OTTI is accounted for in OCI.

During the years ended December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, the Company incurred credit-related OTTI charges related to beneficial interest debt securities of $2.29 million and $134 thousand, respectively. These charges were related to a non-Agency Alt-A residential MBS in 2011 and $77.59 million, respectively. For the beneficial interest debt securities not deemed to have incurred an OTTI, the Company has concluded that the primary difference in the fair value of the securities and credit impairment evident in their cash flow models is the significantly higher rate of return demanded by market participants in an illiquid and inactive market as compared to the rate of return received when the Company purchased the securities in a normally functioning market.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company determined that it cannot assert its intent to hold its remainingtwo pooled trust preferred security to recovery or maturity, that it is more likely than not it will need to sell the securityholdings in order to, among other reasons, convert deferred tax assets to current tax receivables. Accordingly, the Company carries this security at the lower of its adjusted cost basis or market value. The security continues to remain categorized as available for sale.

2010.

For the non-Agency Alt-A residential MBS, the Company models cash flows using the following assumptions: voluntary constant prepayment speed of 5, a customized constant default rate scenario that assumes 20%15% of the remaining underlying mortgages will default within the next 3three years, and a loss severity of 60.

The following table below provides a cumulative roll forward of credit losses recognized in earnings for debt securities for which a portion of an OTTI is recognized in OCI:

During 2011, the year ended December 31,Company recognized no OTTI charges on equity securities. During 2010, and 2009, the Company recognized OTTI charges of $51 thousand and $1.27 million, respectively, on certain of its equity positions.

Acquired, Impaired Loans

Loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date. Under applicable accounting standards, it is not appropriate to carryover a valuation for allowance for loan losses at the time of acquisition when the acquired loans have evidence of credit deterioration. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include measures such as credit scores, decline in collateral value, past due and non-accrual status. For acquired, impaired loans the difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the nonaccretable difference, which is included in the carrying amount of the loans. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses. Subsequent increases in cash flows result in a reversal of the provision for loan losses to the extent of prior charges or a reversal of the nonaccretable difference with a positive impact on interest income prospectively. Further, any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows. Acquired performing loans are recorded at fair value, including a credit component. The fair value adjustment is accreted as an adjustment to yield over the estimated lives of the loans. There is no allowance for loan losses established at the acquisition date for acquired performing loans. A provision for loan losses is recorded for any credit deterioration in these loans subsequent to acquisition.

The carrying amount of acquired loans at July 31, 2009, consisted of loans with credit deterioration, or impaired loans, and loans with no credit deterioration, or performing loans. The following table presents the acquired performing loans receivable at the acquisition date of July 31, 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments


The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk beyond the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The contractual amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is not a violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparties. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income producing commercial properties.


Standby letters of credit and written financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. To the extent deemed necessary, collateral of varying types and amounts is held to secure customer performance under certain of those letters of credit outstanding.


Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are commitments to extend credit (including availability of lines of credit) of $209.98$194.27 million and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written of $4.04$2.90 million at December 31, 2010.2011. Additionally, the Company had gross notional amounts of outstanding commitments to lend related to secondary market mortgage loans of $7.57$9.15 million at December 31, 2010.

Note 5.  Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Quality

Note 5.Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Quality

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management deems sufficient to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by charges to earnings in the form of provision for loan losses and recoveries of prior loan charge-offs, and decreased by loans charged off. The provision is calculated to bring the allowance to a level which, according to a systematic process of measurement, reflects the amount management estimates is needed to absorb probable losses within the portfolio. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond the Company’s control, including, among other things, the performance of the Company’s loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward loan classifications.


Management performs quarterly assessments to determine the appropriate level of allowance.allowance for loan losses. Differences between actual loan loss experience and estimates are reflected through adjustments that are made by either increasing or decreasing the allowance based upon current measurement criteria. Commercial, consumer real estate, and non-real estate consumer loan portfolios are evaluated separately for purposes of determining the allowance. The specific components of the allowance include allocations to individual commercial creditsloans and credit relationships and allocations to the remaining non-homogeneous and homogeneous pools of loans that have been deemed impaired. Additionally, a loan that becomes adversely classified or graded is removed from a group of non-classified or non-graded loans with similar risk characteristics in order to evaluate the removed loan collectively in a group of adversely classified or graded loans with similar risk characteristics. Management’s general reserve allocations are based on judgment of qualitative and quantitative factors about both macro and micro economic conditions reflected within the portfolio of loans and the economy as a whole. Factors considered in this evaluation include, but are not necessarily limited to, probable losses from loan and other credit arrangements, general economic conditions, changes in credit concentrations or pledged collateral, historical loan loss experience, and trends in portfolio volume, maturities, composition, delinquencies, and non-accruals. Historical loss rates for each risk grade of commercial loans are adjusted by environmental factors to estimate the amount of reserve needed by segment. While management has allocated the allowance for loan losses to various portfolio segments, the entire allowance is available for use against any type of loan loss deemed appropriate by management.


Activity

As part of the Company’s continuing refinement of its methodology, the qualitative adjustments historically applied to consumer loans were revised downward based upon review and analysis of historical loss experience within the portfolio, as the Company now estimates fewer losses on that portfolio. The decrease in estimated losses on the consumer portfolio segment was offset by increases in estimated losses on the commercial portfolio segment. Primarily, the increase was in the specific loss estimated on certain impaired loans as a result of new information regarding the values of underlying collateral. This refinement initially created a small difference in the allowance forallocated to each portfolio segment. The allocation of the allowance at the beginning of 2011 has been reclassified to reflect the application of the refinement.

During 2011, the Company further segmented the single family residential real estate class into owner occupied and non-owner occupied classes, which management believes provides better granularity and segmentation of loans with similar risk characteristics. This segmentation also contributed to the overall reduction of estimated losses on non-impaired consumer loan segments in the allowance model, as losses was as follows:

The Company identifies loans for potential impairment through a variety of means including, but not limited to, ongoing loan review, renewal processes, delinquency data, market communications, and public information. If it is determined that it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest amounts contractually due, the loan is generally deemed to be impaired. The following table presents the Company’s recorded investment in loans considered to be impaired and related information on those impaired loans for the period ended December 31, 2010. The table does not include acquired, impaired loans.

As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to the risk rating of commercial loans, the level of classified commercial loans, net charge-offs, non-performing loans and general economic conditions. The Company’s loan review function generally reviews all commercial loan relationships greater than $2.00 million on an annual basis and at various times through the year. Smaller commercial and retail loans are sampled for review throughout the year by our internal loan review department. Through the loan review process, loans are identified for upgrade or downgrade in risk rating and changed to reflect current information as part of the process.

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades is as follows:

Pass – This grade includes loans to borrowers of acceptable credit quality and risk. The Company further differentiates within this grade based upon borrower characteristics which include: capital strength, earnings stability, liquidity leverage, and industry.


Special Mention –This grade includes loans that require more than a normal degree of supervision and attention. These loans have all the characteristics of an adequate asset, but due to being adversely affected by economic or financial conditions have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan.

·Pass – This grade includes loans to borrowers of acceptable credit quality and risk. The Company further differentiates within this grade based upon borrower characteristics which include: capital strength, earnings stability, leverage, and industry.

Substandard – This grade includes loans that have well defined weaknesses which make payment default or principal exposure possible, but not yet certain. Such loans are apt to be dependent upon collateral liquidation, a secondary source of repayment, or an event outside of the normal course of business to meet the repayment terms.

·Special Mention –This grade includes loans  that require more than a normal degree of supervision and attention. These loans have all the characteristics of an adequate asset, but due to being adversely affected by economic or financial conditions have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the institution’s credit position at some future date.
·Substandard – This grade includes loans that have well defined weaknesses which make payment default or principal exposure possible, but not yet certain. Such loans are apt to be dependent upon collateral liquidation, a secondary source of repayment or an event outside of the normal course of business to meet the repayment terms.
·Doubtful – This grade includes loans that are placed on non-accrual status. These loans have all the weaknesses inherent in a “substandard’ loan with the added factor that the weaknesses  are so severe that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, is extremely unlikely, but because of certain specific pending factors, the amount of loss cannot yet be determined.
·Loss – This grade includes loans that are to be charged-off or charged-down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. “Loss” is not intended to imply that the asset has no recovery or salvage value, but simply that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off all or some portion of the loan, even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

Acquired, Impaired Loans

Loans acquired in a business combination closing after January 1, 2009, are recordedmethodology at estimated fair value on their purchase dateDecember 31, 2011 and prohibit the carryover of the related allowance for loan losses, which include loans purchased in the TriStone acquisition.  Purchased impaired loans are accounted for under the Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality Topic 310-30 of FASB ASC when the loans have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the Company will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments.  Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include measures such as credit scores, decline in collateral value, past due and nonaccrual status.  The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the nonaccretable difference which is included in the carrying amount of the loans.  Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses.  Subsequent increases in cash flows result in a reversal of the provision for loan losses to the extent of prior charges, or a reversal of the nonaccretable difference with a positive impact on interest income prospectively.  Further, any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows.  Purchased performing loans are recorded at fair value, including a credit component.  The fair value adjustment is accreted as an adjustment to yield over the estimated lives of the loans.  There is no allowance for loan losses established at the acquisition date for acquired performing loans.  A provision for loan losses is recorded for any credit deterioration in these loans subsequent to the acquisition.

The carrying amount of acquired loans at July 31, 2009, consisted of loans with credit deterioration, or impaired loans, and loans with no credit deterioration, or performing loans.  The following table presents the acquired performing loans receivable at the acquisition date of July 31, 2009.  The amounts include principal only and do not reflect accrued interest as of the date of the acquisition or beyond.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)


The following table presents the required detail regarding acquired impaired loans for the period.  The Company has estimated the cash flows to be collected on the loans and discounted those cash flows at a market rate of interest.  The excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan.  The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition, considering the impact of prepayments, is referred to as the nonaccretable difference.  The nonaccretable difference includes estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan.  The Company has not noted any further deterioration in the acquired impaired loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

At December 31, 2011, total loan restructurings were $12.72 million which included $3.27 million of loans on non-accrual status.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 herein.

Also included in borrowings is $15.46 million of junior subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) issued by the Company in October 2003 to an unconsolidated trust subsidiary, FCBI Capital Trust (the “Trust”), with an interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.95%. The Trust was able to purchase the Debentures through the issuance of trust preferred securities which had substantially identical terms as the Debentures. The Debentures mature on October 8, 2033, and are currently callable. The net proceeds from the offering were contributed as capital to the Bank to support further growth.

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

The Company’s obligations under the Debentures and other relevant Trust agreements, in aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trust’s obligations.

Despite the fact that the accounts of the Trust are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the trust preferred securities issued by the Trust are included in the Tier 1 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes. Federal Reserve Board rules limit the aggregate amount of restricted core capital elements (which includes trust preferred securities, among other things) that may be included in the Tier 1 capital of most bank holding companies to 25% of all core capital elements, including restricted core capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability. The current quantitative limits do not preclude the Company from including the $15.46 million in trust preferred securities outstanding in Tier 1 capital as of December 31, 2010.


The Company has committed to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the following payments or distributions with respect to the trust preferred securities to the holders thereof to the extent that the Trust has not made such payments or distributions: (i) accrued and unpaid distributions, (ii) the redemption price, and (iii) upon a dissolution or termination of the Trust, the lesser of the liquidation amount and all accrued and unpaid distributions and the amount of assets of the Trust remaining available for distribution, in each case to the extent the Trust has funds available.

In 2001, the Company instituted a plan to grant stock options to non-employee directors (the “Directors“Directors’ Option Plan”). The options granted pursuant to the DirectorsDirectors’ Option Plan expire at the earlier of ten years from the date of grant or two years after the optionee ceases to serve as a director of the Company. Options not exercised within the appropriate time shall expire and be deemed cancelled. Options under the DirectorsDirectors’ Option Plan were granted in the form of non-statutory stock options with the aggregate number of shares of common stockCommon Stock available for grant under the DirectorsDirectors’ Option Plan set at 108,900 shares (adjusted for the 10% stock dividends paid in 2002 and 2003).


In 1999, the Company instituted the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”). Options under the 1999 Plan were granted in the form of non-statutory stock options with the aggregate number of shares of common stockCommon Stock available for grant under the Plan set at 332,750 (adjusted for 10% stock dividends paid in 2002 and 2003). The options granted under the 1999 Plan represent the rights to acquire the option shares with deemed grant dates of January 1st for each year beginning with the initial year granted and the following four anniversaries. All stock options granted pursuant to the 1999 Plan vest ratably on the first through the seventh anniversary dates of the deemed grant date. The option price of each stock option is equal to the fair market value (as defined by the 1999 Plan) of the Company’s common stockCommon Stock on the date of each deemed grant during the five-year grant period. Vested stock options granted pursuant to the 1999 Plan are exercisable during employment and for a period of five years after the date of the grantee’s retirement, provided retirement occurs at or after age 62. If employment is terminated other than by early retirement, disability, or death, vested options must be exercised within 90 days after the effective date of termination. Any option not exercised within such period will be deemed cancelled.


The Company also has options from various option plans other than described above (the Prior Plans); however, no common shares of the Company are available for grants under the Prior Plans. Awards outstanding under the Prior Plans will remain in effect in accordance with their respective terms.


The cash flows from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation expense recognized for those options and restricted stock (“excess tax benefits”) are classified as financing cash flows. Excess tax benefits totaling $5 thousand, $9 thousand, $2 thousand, and $85$2 thousand are classified as financing cash inflows for 2011, 2010, and 2009, and 2008, respectively.


During the three years ended December 31, 2010,2011, the Company recognized pre-tax compensation expense related to total equity-based compensation of $98 thousand, $58 thousand, $153 thousand, and $260$153 thousand, respectively. The Company recognizes equity-based compensation on a straight line pro-rata basis, so that the percentage of the total expense recognized for an award is never less than the percentage of the award that has vested.


As of December 31, 2010,2011, there was $44$221 thousand in unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.11.47 years. The actual compensation cost recognized will differ from this estimate due to a number of items, including new awards granted and changes in estimated forfeitures.

Litigation Commitments and Contingencies


Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company is a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims, most of which involve lending, collection and employment matters.claims. While the Company and its legal counsel are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each of these matters with certainty, they are of the belief thatCompany believes the resolution of these actions, singly or in the aggregate, should not have a material adverse affecteffect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.


Commitments and Contingencies


The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk beyond the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The contractual amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is not a violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparties. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.


Standby letters of credit and written financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. To the extent deemed necessary, collateral of varying types and amounts is held to secure customer performance under certain of those letters of credit outstanding.


Financial instruments, whose contract amounts represent credit risk at December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, are commitments to extend credit (including availability of lines of credit) of $209.98$194.27 million and $233.72$209.98 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees of $4.04$2.90 million and $9.80$4.04 million, respectively. The Company maintainsmaintained a liability of $329 thousand and $370 thousand, respectively, at December 31, 2011 and 2010, which represents its reserve for unfunded commitments.


The Company has issued, through the Trust, $15.00 million of trust preferred securities in a private placement. In connection with the issuance of the trust preferred securities, the Company has committed to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the following payments or distributions with respect to the trust preferred securities to the holders thereof to the extent that the Trust has not made such payments or distributions and has the funds therefore: (i) accrued and unpaid distributions, (ii) the redemption price, and (iii) upon a dissolution or termination of the Trust, the lesser of the liquidation amount and all accrued and unpaid distributions and the amount of assets of the Trust remaining available for distribution.

Note 13.Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company uses derivative instruments primarily to protect against the risk of adverse price or interest rate movements on the value of certain assets and liabilities and on future cash flows. These derivatives may consist of interest rate swaps, floors, caps, collars, futures, forward contracts, and written and purchased options. Derivative instruments represent contracts between parties that usually require little or no initial net investment and result in one party delivering cash or another type of asset to the other party based on a notional amount and an underlying asset as specified in the contract.


The primary derivatives that the Company uses are interest rate swaps and interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”).IRLCs. Generally, these instruments help the Company manage exposure to market risk and meet customer financing needs. Market risk represents the possibility that economic value or net interest income will be adversely affected by fluctuations in external factors, such as interest rates, market-driven loan rates and prices or other economic factors.


The Company entered into an interest rate swap derivative accounted for as a cash flow hedge in January 2006. The $50.00 million notional amount pay fixed, receive variable interest rate swap was a liability with an estimated fair value of $31 thousand and $2.12 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company pays a fixed rate of 4.34% and receives a LIBOR-based floating rate from the counterparty.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments. In the normal course of business, the Company sells originated mortgage loans into the secondary mortgage loan market. During the period of loan origination and prior to the sale of the loans ininto the secondary market, the Company has exposure to movements in interest rates associated with mortgage loans that are in the “mortgage pipeline.” A pipeline loan is one on which the potential borrower has set the interest rate for the loan by entering into an IRLC. Once a mortgage loan is closed and funded, it is included within loans held for sale and awaits sale and delivery into the secondary market. During the term of an IRLC, the Company has the risk that interest rates will change from the rate quoted to the borrower.


The Company’s balance of mortgage loans held for sale is subject to changes in fair value, due to fluctuations in interest rates from the loan closing date through the date of sale of the loan into the secondary market. Typically, the fair value of the warehousethese loans declines in value when interest rates increase and rises in value when interest rates decrease.

Counterparty Credit Risk. Like other financial instruments, derivatives contain an element of “credit risk.” Credit risk is the possibility that the Company will incur a loss because a counterparty, which may be a bank, a broker-dealer or a customer, fails to meet its contractual obligations. This risk is measured as the expected positive replacement value of contracts. All derivative contracts may be executed only with exchanges or counterparties approved by the Company’s Asset/Liability Management Committee. The Company reviews its counterparty risk regularly and has determined that as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was no significant counterparty credit risk.

Note 14.  Regulatory Capital Requirements and Restrictions

The primary source of funds for dividends paid by the Company is dividends received from the Bank. Dividends paid by the Bank are subject to restrictions by banking regulations. Approval by regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to fall below specified minimum levels.  As described below, the Bank is required to maintain heightened regulatory capital ratios.  Approval is also required if dividends declared exceed the net profits for that year combined with the retained net profits for the preceding two years.

Note 14.Regulatory Capital Requirements and Restrictions

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by thestate and federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, which applies only to the Bank, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the entity’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios for total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).


To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets (leverage) ratios established by banking regulators. In 2010, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) issued an Individual Minimum Capital Ratio directive to the Bank which requires the Bank to maintain a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 11.50%, a Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 10.00% and a Tier 1 capital to average assets (leverage) ratio of 7.50%.  Failure of the Bank to maintain these minimum capital ratios will be deemed by the OCC to constitute an unsafe and unsound banking practice and could subject the Bank to additional regulatory action.  As ofAt December 31, 2010,2011, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As ofAt December 31, 20102011 and 2009,2010, the most recent notifications from regulators categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since those notifications that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

Note 16.  Fair Value

Note 16.Fair Value

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value


Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal, or most advantageous, market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact.


The fair value hierarchy is as follows:


Level 1 Inputs –Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

84

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Level 2 Inputs –Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and provide a reasonable basis for fair value determination, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, default rates, and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated byobservable market data by correlation or other means.data.

Level 3 Inputs –Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities for which there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based on the best information at the time, to the extent that reflectinputs are available without undue cost and effort. These inputs and assumptions may include model-derived inputs that are not corroborated by observable market data and an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.assumptions.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value. In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon third party models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Company’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.


Securities Available-for-Sale:Available-for-Sale. Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inputs. Securities are classified as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy when quoted prices are available in an active market. This includes securities whose value is based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company also uses Level 1 inputs for the valuation of equity securities traded in active markets.


Securities are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy when the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. Level 2 inputs are used to value U.S. Agencygovernment agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, municipal securities, FDIC-backed securities, single-issuesingle issue and pooled trust preferred securities, pooled trust preferredcorporate FDIC insured securities, MBS, and certain equity securities that are not actively traded.


Securities are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy in certain cases when there is limited activity or less transparency to the valuation inputs. In the absence of observable or corroborated market data, internally developed estimates that incorporate market-based assumptions are used when such information is available.


Fair value models may be required when trading activity has declined significantly or does not exist, prices are not current or pricing variations are significant. The Company’s fair value from third party models utilizes modeling software that uses market participant data and knowledge of the structures of each individual security to develop cash flows specific to each security. The fair values of the securities are determined by using the cash flows developed by the fair value model and applying appropriate market observable discount rates. The discount rates are developed by determining credit spreads above a benchmark rate, such as LIBOR, and adding premiums for illiquidity developed based on a comparison of initial issuance spread to LIBOR versus a financial sector curve for recently issued debt to LIBOR. Specific securities that have increased uncertainty regarding the receipt of cash flows are discounted at higher rates due to the addition of a deal specific credit premium.premium based on assumptions about the performance of the underlying collateral. Finally, internal fair value model pricing and external pricing observations are combined by assigning weights to each pricing observation. Pricing is reviewed for reasonableness based on the direction of the specific markets and the general economic indicators.


Other Assets and Associated Liabilities:Liabilities. Securities held for trading purposes are recorded at fair value and included in “other assets” on the consolidated balance sheets. Securities held for trading purposes include assets related to employee deferred compensation plans. The assets associated with these plans are generally invested in equities and classified as Level 1. Deferred compensation liabilities, also classified as Level 1, are carried at the fair value of the obligation to the employee, which corresponds to the fair value of the invested assets.


Derivatives:Derivatives.Derivatives are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The Company obtains dealer quotations based on observable data to value its derivatives.


85

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Impaired Loans:Loans. Certain impaired loans are reported on a nonrecurring basis at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on appraisals adjusted for customized discounting criteria.


The Company maintains an active and robust problem credit identification system. When a credit is identified as exhibiting characteristics of weakening, the Company will assess the credit for potential impairment. Examples of weakening include delinquency and deterioration of the borrower’s capacity to repay as determined by the Company’s regular credit review function. As part of the impairment review, the Company will evaluate the current collateral value. It is the Company’s standard practice to obtain updated third party collateral valuations to assist management in measuring potential impairment of a credit and the amount of the impairment to be recorded.


Internal collateral valuations are generally performed within two to four weeks of the original identification of potential impairment and receipt of the third party valuation. The internal valuation is performed by comparing the original appraisal to current local real estate market conditions and experience and considers liquidation costs. The result of the internal valuation is compared towith the outstanding loan balance, and, if warranted, a specific impairment reserve will be established at the completion of the internal evaluation.


A third party evaluation is typically received within thirty to forty-five days of the completion of the internal evaluation. Once received, the third party evaluation is reviewed by Special Assets staff and/or Credit Appraisal staff for reasonableness. Once the evaluation is reviewed and accepted,

FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

discounts to fair market value are applied based upon such factors as the bank’s historical liquidation experience of like collateral, and an estimated net realizable value is established. That estimated net realizable value is then compared towith the outstanding loan balance to determine the amount of specific impairment reserve. The specific impairment reserve, if necessary, is adjusted to reflect the results of the updated evaluation. A specific impairment reserve is generally maintained on impaired loans during the time period while awaiting receipt of the third party evaluation as well as on impaired loans that continue to make some form of payment and liquidation is not imminent. Impaired loans not meeting the aforementioned criteria and that do not have a specific impairment reserve have usually been previously written down through a partial charge-off,charge off, to their net realizable value.


The Company’s Special Assets staff assumes the management and monitoring of all loans determined to be impaired. While awaiting the completion of the third party appraisal, the Company generally begins to complete the tasks necessary to gain control of the collateral and prepare for liquidation, including, but not limited to engagement of counsel, inspection of collateral, and continued communication with the borrower, if appropriate. Special Assets staff also regularly reviews the relationship to identify any potential adverse developments during this time.


Generally, the only difference between current appraised value, adjusted for liquidation costs, and the carrying amount of the loan less the specific reserve is any downward adjustment to the appraised value that the Company’s Special Assets staff determineCompany determines appropriate. These differences are generally made up of costs to sell the property, as well as a deflator for the devaluation of property seen when banks are the sellers, and the Company deemed these adjustments as fair value adjustments.


In the Company’s experience, it rarely returns loans to performing status after they have been partially charged off. Generally, credits identified as impaired move quickly through the process towards ultimate resolution.

Other Real Estate Owned. The fair value of the Company’s other real estate owned is determined on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs based on current and prior appraisals, estimates of costs to sell, and proprietary qualitative adjustments. Accordingly, other real estate owned

Goodwill.The fair value of the Company’s goodwill is stated atreported on a nonrecurring basis when it has been adjusted to fair value. The values of the Company’s reporting units are determined using Level 3 fair value.inputs based on discounted cash flow and market multiple models.

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company changed the fair value of pooled trust preferred securities from Level 3 to Level 2 pricing resulting in a transfer of $3.57 million out of Level 3. The Company was successful in obtaining a quote from a qualified market participant, and although the market for these securities is increasing it still remains inactive.


Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain financial and non-financialnonfinancial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example,such as, when there is evidence of impairment. Items subjectedsubject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments were as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate the value is based upon the characteristics of the instruments and relevant market information. Financial instruments include cash, evidence of ownership in an entity, or contracts that convey or impose on an entity that contractual right or obligation to either receive or deliver cash for another financial instrument. Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation, and is best evidenced by a quoted market price if one exists.

The following summary presents the methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments presented below. The information used to determine fair value is highly subjective and judgmental in nature and, therefore, the results may not be precise. Subjective factors include, among other things, estimates of cash flows, risk characteristics, credit quality, and interest rates, all of which are subject to change. Since the fair value is estimated as of the balance sheet date, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid upon settlement or maturity on these various instruments could be significantly different.


Cash and Cash Equivalents:Equivalents. The book values of cash and due from banks and federal funds sold and purchased are considered to be equal to fair value as a result of the short-term nature of these items.


Investment Securities and Deferred Compensation Assets and Liabilities:Liabilities. Fair values are determined in the same manner as described above.


Loans: The estimated fair value of loans held for investment is measured based upon discounted future cash flows using current rates for similar loans. No estimate for market illiquidity has been made. Loans held for sale are recorded at lower of cost or estimated fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined based upon the market sales price of similar loans.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable: Payable.The book value is considered to be equal to the fair value due to the short-term nature of the instrument.


Bank-owned Life Insurance: Insurance.The fair value is determined by stated contract values.

Derivative Financial Instruments:Instruments. The estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments is based upon the current market price for similar instruments.


FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Deposits and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase:Repurchase. Deposits without a stated maturity, including demand, interest bearinginterest-bearing demand, and savings accounts, are reported at their carrying value. No value has been assigned to the franchise value of these deposits. For other types of deposits and repurchase agreements with fixed maturities and rates, fair value has been estimated by discounting future cash flows based on interest rates currently being offered on instruments with similar characteristics and maturities.


FHLB and Other Indebtedness:Indebtedness. Fair value has been estimated based on interest rates currently available to the Company for borrowings with similar characteristics and maturities. The fair value for trust preferred obligations has been estimated based on credit spreads seen in the marketplace for like issues.


Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters of Credit, and Financial Guarantees:Guarantees. The amount of off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees is considered equal to fair value. Because of the uncertainty involved in attempting to assess the likelihood and timing of commitments being drawn upon, coupled with the lack of an established market and the wide diversity of fee structures, the Company does not believe it is meaningful to provide an estimate of fair value that differs from the given value of the commitment.

-Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Overover Financial Reporting-


Reporting -

First Community Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements and notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.


We, as management of the Company, are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting that is designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The system of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the financial statements is evaluated for effectiveness by management and tested for reliability. Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.


Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework inInternal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that its system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.2011.


Dixon Hughes PLLC,Goodman LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.2011. The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2011, appears hereafter in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

To the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Stockholders

First Community Bancshares, Inc.

We have audited First Community Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries’ (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2011, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company'sCompany’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.


We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


A company'sCompany’s internal control over financial reporting is a process 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. A company'scompany’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company'sCompany’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


In our opinion, First Community Bancshares, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2011, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.


We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of First Community Bancshares, Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010,2011, and our report, dated March 11, 2011,2, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted, in 2009, new business combination and investment impairment accounting standards.

ITEM 9A.Controls and Procedures.

Restatement and Remediation of Material Weakness

As a result of a routine internal audit during the second quarter of 2010, the Company determined there was a computational error in the model that it uses to calculate the quantitative basis for its allowance for loan losses. Based on the Company’s modeling using the corrected computations, the Company, in consultation with the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission amendments to its Form 10-Ks for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and its Form 10-Qs for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009, September 30, 2009, and March 31, 2010, for the purpose of restating the financial statements and other financial information in those reports to reflect the correction of the computational error in the model (the “Restatement”).

We believe that we have fully remediated the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to the calculation of the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2010. The remedial actions undertaken by the Company included:

·implementing additional management and oversight controls to review documentation related to the calculation of the allowance for loan losses;
·discontinuing practices and processes where sustainable controls did not exist and automating other critical functions within the process; and
·retesting our internal controls with respect to the deficiencies related to the material weakness to ensure they are operating effectively.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


In connection with the Restatement, under the direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we reevaluated our disclosure controls and procedures. The Company identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to ensuring the appropriate calculation of its allowance for loan losses. Specifically, during a process enhancement to the model that calculates the allowance for loan losses, the quarterly average loss rate was not annualized. Control procedures in place during the periods covered by the Restatement for reviewing the quantitative model for calculating the allowance for loan losses did not timely identify this error and, as such, the Company did not have adequately designed procedures. Solely as a result of this material weakness, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009, September 30, 2009, December 31, 2009, March 31, 2010, and June 30, 2010.

In connection with this Annual Report on Form 10-K, under the direction of the Company’s CEO and CFO, the Company has evaluated the disclosure controls and procedures currently in effect, including the remedial actions discussed above.effect. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of December 31, 2010,2011, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.


Disclosure controls and procedures are Company controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.

98

The Company assesses the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting quarterly and enhances its controls in response to internal control assessments and internal and external audit and regulatory recommendations. Except as described above, thereThere were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2010,2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


The Company’s Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting are each hereby incorporated by reference from Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
