NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. General
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of First Community Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries (“First Community” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation have been made. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results of consolidated operations that might be expected for the full calendar year.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007,2008, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 20072008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with standards for the preparation of interim consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 20072008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
A more complete and detailed description of First Community’s significant accounting policies is included within Footnote 1 of Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for December 31, 2007.2008. Further discussion of the Company’s application of critical accounting policies is included within the “Application of Critical Accounting Policies” section of Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included herein.
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, 2004 through 2007 are currently open to audit under statutes of limitation by the Internal Revenue Service and various state tax departments.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company operates within two business segments, community banking and insurance services. Insurance services are comprised of agencies which sell property and casualty and life and health insurance policies and arrangements. All other operations, including commercial and consumer banking, lending activities, and wealth management are included within the banking segment.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding increased by the dilutive effect of stock options, warrants and contingently issuable shares. Basic and diluted net income per common share calculations follow:
         
 For the three months 
  ended March 31, 
(Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data) 2009  2008 
Net income available to common shareholders $4,659  $6,312 
         
Weighted average shares outstanding  11,567,769   11,029,931 
Dilutive shares for stock options  6,332   57,040 
Contingently issuable shares  42,467   20,639 
Common stock warrants      
       
Weighted average dilutive shares outstanding  11,616,568   11,107,610 
       
         
Basic earnings per share $0.40  $0.57 
Diluted earnings per share $0.40  $0.57 
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, options and warrants to purchase 391,104 shares of common stock were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. This compares to options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2008,April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” The FSP requires a public entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. The FSP will be effective for interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 effective January 1, 2009.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2, FAS 124-2 and EITF 99-20-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment.” The FSP (i) changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired debt security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the debt security; and (b) it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the debt security before recovery of its cost basis. Under the FSP, declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale debt securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 115-2, FAS 124-2 and EITF 99-20-2-1 effective January 1, 2009, and made a cumulative effect credit adjustment in retained earnings of approximately $6.13 million.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” The FSP affirms the objective of fair value when a market is not active, clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity, eliminates the presumption that all transactions are distressed unless proven otherwise, and requires an entity to disclose a change in valuation technique. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP FAS 157-4 effective January 1, 2009, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). This statement establishes a framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with US GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). This statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities in order to improve the transparency of financial reporting. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ofadopted SFAS 161 on its disclosures.effective January 1, 2009, and the enhanced disclosures are included in Note 11 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities.
In December 2007, the FASB revised Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. This statement recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. This statement also defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquiree achieves control. Additionally this statement determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impactIn connection with its January 1, 2009, adoption of SFAS 141R, on its financial condition, results of operations and disclosures.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). This statement applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding non-controlling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 160 on its financial condition, results of operations and disclosures.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Statement’s objective is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 requires companies to provide additional information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to more easily understand the effect of the company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus regarding EITF 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements.” The scope of EITF 06-4 is limited to the recognition of a liability and related compensation costs for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods. Therefore, this EITF would not apply to a split-dollar life insurance arrangement that provides a specified benefit to an employee that is limited to the employee’s active service period with an employer. On January 1, 2008, the Company made a cumulative effect adjustment to equity of $813 thousand in connectionhas expensed costs associated with the adoption of EITF 06-4.recently announced transactions.

Included in available-for-sale securities is a portfolio of trust-preferred securities with a total marketfair value of approximately $87.52$49.47 million as of September 30, 2008.March 31, 2009. That portfolio is comprised of single-issue securities and pooled trust-preferred securities. The single-issue securities are trust-preferred issuances from some of the largest banks in the nation, composite A-rated or higher, and had a total marketfair value of approximately $40.95$26.77 million as of September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, compared with their adjusted cost basis of approximately $55.45$55.52 million.
At September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, the total marketfair value of the pooled trust-preferred securities was approximately $46.57$22.71 million, compared with an adjusted cost basis of approximately $108.76$93.37 million. The collateral underlying these securities is comprised of 86% of bank trust-preferred securities and subordinated debt issuances of over 500 banks nationwide. The remaining collateral is from insurance companies and real estate investment trusts. During the third quarter, two of the2008 and 2009, these securities experienced a credit rating downgrade from one rating agency,

downgrades and certain of these securities are on negative credit watch bywatch. As of December 31, 2008, the Company recorded pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment charges of $15.46 million on one or more rating firms. All of theits pooled trust-preferredtrust preferred securities remain composite A-rated and have not deferred an interest payment. The securities carry variable rate structures that float atwhich demonstrated a prescribed margin over 3-month LIBOR. The Company has modeledprobable adverse change in cash flow.

AlthoughThe Company made a cumulative effect adjustment of $6.13 million, $10.22 million pre-tax, as of January 1, 2009, to recognize the portion of non-credit losses associated with a non-agency mortgage-backed security for which the Company has bothrecognized a pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment charge of $14.47 million as of December 31, 2008. The Company determined that only $4.25 million of the intentoriginal impairment charge was due to probable credit losses. The amount due to probable credit losses was determined using customized default and abilityprepayment scenarios.
At March 31, 2009, the combined depreciation in value of the 193 individual securities in an unrealized loss position was approximately 26.36% of the combined reported value of the aggregate securities portfolio. At December 31, 2008, the combined depreciation in value of the 310 individual securities in an unrealized loss position was approximately 17.04% of the combined reported value of the aggregate securities portfolio. Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of March 31, 2009, represents other-than-temporary impairment. The Company intends to hold these securities until recovery or maturity and it is more likely than not that it will not sell these securities before recovery. For the securities to maturity,quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company is closely monitoring this portfolio due to the substantial market discounts. The market discounts reflect the credit market disruption in bank subordinated debt instruments and the possibilityrecognized impairment of future negative credit events within the banking sector, which could affect collateral within$209 thousand on certain of its equity securities holdings.

the possibility of unforeseen bank failures could result in changes in the Company’s outlook for these securities and possible future OTI. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that continued deterioration of credit portfolios within certain of those banks will not lead to unanticipated deferrals of interest payments and defaults. At present, cash flow modeling indicates varying ability to absorb additional deferrals and defaults before incurring breaks in interest or principal for the various pools.

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 $188.81$157.81 million and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written of $2.75$2.49 million at September 30, 2008.March 31, 2009. Additionally, the Company had gross notional amount of outstanding commitments to lend related to secondary market mortgage loans of $4.36$11.28 million at September 30, 2008.March 31, 2009.
Note 5. Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level 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.

-11-


Management performs periodic assessments to determine the appropriate level of allowance. Differences between actual loan loss experience and estimates are reflected through adjustments that are made by either increasing or decreasing the loss provision based upon current measurement criteria. Commercial, consumer and mortgage loan portfolios are evaluated separately for purposes of determining the allowance. The specific components of the allowance include allocations to individual commercial credits and allocations to the remaining non-homogeneous and homogeneous pools of loans.

- 12 -


Management’s 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. 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.

Total $216,720 $291,916  $215,870 $215,877 
          
FHLB borrowings include $200.00 million in convertible and callable advances and $835 thousand of noncallable term advances from the FHLB at September 30, 2008.March 31, 2009. The weighted average interest rate of advances was 3.24%2.95% and 4.38%3.70% at September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2007,2008, respectively.
The Company has entered into a derivative interest rate swap instrument where it receives LIBOR-based variable interest payments and pays fixed interest payments. The notional amount of the derivative swap is $50.00 million and effectively fixes a

-12-


portion of the FHLB borrowings at approximately 4.34%. After considering the effect of the interest rate swap, the effective weighted average interest rate of all FHLB borrowings was 3.74%3.79% at September 30, 2008.March 31, 2009. The fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability of $1.42$3.08 million at September 30, 2008.March 31, 2009.
At September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, the FHLB advances have approximate contractual maturities between fiveeight and thirteentwelve years. The scheduled maturities of the advances are as follows:

The callable advances may be redeemed at quarterly intervals after various lockout periods. These call options may substantially shorten the lives of these instruments. If these advances are called, the debt may be paid in full, converted to another FHLB credit product, or converted to a fixed or adjustable rate advance. Prepayment of the advances may result in substantial penalties based upon the differential between contractual note rates and current advance rates for similar maturities. Advances from the FHLB are secured by stock in the FHLB of Atlanta, qualifying first mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, and certain other securities.
Also included in other indebtedness 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 callable beginning October 8, 2008.currently callable.
The Company has committed to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the following payments or distributions with respect to the 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.

Note 11:10. Fair Value Disclosures
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (“SFAS 157”) for financial assets and financial liabilities. In accordance with FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” the Company will delaydelayed application of FASBSFAS 157 for non- financialnon-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until January 1, 2009. In October of 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-3 ("FSP 157-3") to clarify the application of SFAS 157, in a market that is not active and to provide key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements were not issued. SFAS 157as amended, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

-14-- 15 -


SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. 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.
SFAS 157 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present value amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset, or the replacement cost. Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. 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.
 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, such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
 Level 3 Inputs Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
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 financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value effective January 1, 2008.
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 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.: Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1, Level 2, and Level 23 inputs. ForSecurities are classified as Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy when quoted prices are available in an active market. This includes securities, the Company obtains fairsuch as U.S. Treasuries, whose value measurements fromis based on quoted market prices in active exchanges. Formarkets for identical assets.
Securities are classified as Level 2 securities,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.
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. These securities include certain pooled trust preferred securities. 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 utilize 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. 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 are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The Company obtains dealer quotations based on observable data to value its derivatives.
Impaired Loans.: Certain impaired loans are reported 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 customized discounting criteria.
Other Real Estate Owned. The fair value of the Company’s other real estate owned is determined using current and prior appraisals, estimates of costs to sell, and proprietary adjustments. Accordingly, other real estate owned is stated at a Level 3 fair value.
The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30,March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

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.
Financial Instruments with Book Value Equal to Fair Value: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: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, applying a discount for illiquidity. 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.
Derivative Financial Instruments:The estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments is based upon the current market price for similar instruments.
Deposits and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase:Deposits without a stated above,maturity, including demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings accounts, are reported at their carrying value in accordance with SFAS 157107. 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.

- 19 -


Other Indebtedness:Fair value has been estimated based on interest rates currently available to the Company for borrowings with similar characteristics and maturities.
Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters of Credit, and Financial 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.
Note 11. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company, through its mortgage banking and risk management operations, is party to various derivative instruments that are used for asset and liability management and customers’ financing needs. Derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet.
The primary derivatives that the Company uses are interest rate swaps and interest rate lock commitments (“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 applicableadversely affected by fluctuations in external factors, such as interest rates, market-driven loan rates and prices or other economic factors.

Interest Rate Swaps.The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to thesemodify its exposure to interest rate risk. The Company currently employs a cash flow hedging strategy to effectively convert certain floating-rate liabilities into fixed-rate instruments. The interest rate swap is accounted for under the “short-cut” method in SFAS 133. Changes in fair value measurements beginning January 1, 2009.of the interest rate swap are reported as a component of other comprehensive income. The Company does not currently employ fair value hedging strategies.
Note 12: Subsequent EventInterest 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 in 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 interest rate lock commitment (“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.
On October 27,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 warehouse 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 participate inmeet its contractual obligations. This risk is measured as the Capital Purchase Program developedexpected positive replacement value of contracts. All derivative contracts may be executed only with exchanges or counterparties approved by the Treasury Department under the TroubledCompany’s Asset Relief Program.and Liability Management Committee. The termsCompany reviews its counterparty risk regularly and has determined that, as of the program allow the Company to sell $42.50 million of cumulative, perpetual, non-voting, senior preferred stock, and warrants to purchase common stock, to the Treasury. From the date of the approval, the Company has 30 days to execute the requisite documents.March 31, 2009, there is no significant counterparty credit risk.

PART I. ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis is provided to address information about First Community Bancshares, Inc.’s (the “Company”)the Company financial condition and results of operations. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 20072008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the other financial information included in this report.
The Company is a multi-state financial holding company headquartered in Bluefield, Virginia, with total assets of $1.97$2.20 billion at September 30, 2008.March 31, 2009. Through its community bank subsidiary, First Community Bank, N. A. (the “Bank”), the Company provides financial, trust and investment advisory services to individuals and commercial customers through more than fifty locations in Virginia, West Virginia, North andCarolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The Company is also the parent of GreenPoint Insurance Group, Inc., a North Carolina-based full-service insurance agency offering commercial and personal lines (“GreenPoint”). The Bank is the parent of Investment Planning Consultants, Inc. (“IPC”), a SEC-registeredregistered investment advisory firm that offers wealth management and investment advice. The Company’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol, “FCBC”.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements”, including statements contained in its filings with the SEC (including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Exhibits hereto and thereto), in its reports to stockholders and in other communications which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements with respect to the Company’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors (many of which are beyond the Company’s control). The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the timely development of competitive new products and services of the Company and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers; the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services and vice versa; the impact of changes in financial services’ laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance); technological changes; the effect of acquisitions, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions; the growth and profitability of the Company’s non-interest or fee income being less than expected; unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company. These factors are described in greater detail in Item 1A. Risk Factors, ofin the Company’s 20072008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)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

-17-


is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated by management primarily through the use of internal modeling techniques and appraisal estimates.

-22-


The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. The disclosures presented in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis 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 the accounting for and valuation of investment securities, the determination of the allowance for loan losses, accounting for acquisitions and intangible assets, and accounting for income taxes as the four accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments. The identified critical accounting policies are described in detail in the Company’s 20072008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except for the critical accounting policy set forth below, there have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies since December 31, 2007.
Accounting for 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 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.
The impairment evaluations noted above are consistent with the accounting guidance in EITF 99-20 “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” SFAS 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” FASB Staff Position No. 115-1, “ The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 59,“Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” to determine if a security is other than temporarily impaired. Securities deemed to be other than temporarily impaired are written-down to their current fair values with a charge to earnings. The review process uses a combination of the severity of pricing declines and the present value of the expected cash flows and compares those results to the current carrying value. Significant inputs provided by the independent third party such as default and loss severity are reviewed internally for reasonableness and from a market participant’s perspective.
As of September 30, 2008, the Company has not determined any of its investment securities to be other than temporarily impaired.

Recent Market DevelopmentsRECENT MARKET DEVELOPMENTS
The global and U.S. economies are experiencingcontinue to experience significantly reduced business activity as a result of among other factors,recessionary economic conditions and disruptions in the financial system during the past year.eighteen months. Dramatic declines in the housing market during the past year,eighteen months, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures and unemployment, have resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions, including government-sponsored entities and major commercial and investment banks. These write-downs, initially of mortgage-backed securities but spreading to credit default swaps, and other derivative securities, and to loan portfolios, have caused many financial institutions to seek additional capital, to merge with larger and stronger institutions and, in some cases, to fail.
In response to the financial crises affecting the banking system and financial markets, Congress passed, and President Bush signed, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”) on October 3, 2008. Pursuant to the EESA, the U.S. Department of Treasury (“Treasury”) was granted the authority to, among others, purchase up to $700 billion of mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets.
On October 14, 2008, Treasury announced the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (the “Capital Purchase Program”), under which it will purchase equity stakes in a wide variety of banks and thrifts. Pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program, Treasury will make $250 billion of capital available to U.S. financial institutions in the form of preferred stock. In conjunction with the purchase of preferred stock, Treasury will receive warrants to purchase common stock with an aggregate market price equal to 15% of the preferred investment. Participating financial institutions will be required to adopt Treasury’s standards for executive compensation and corporate governance for the period during which Treasury holds equity issued under the Capital Purchase Program. On October 27, 2008, the Company was notified by the Treasury that it was preliminarily approved to participate in the Capital Purchase Program. The Company’s participation in the Capital Purchase Program, as well as the amount Treasury may invest, is subject to Treasury’s approval, the execution of definitive agreements, and standard closing conditions.
Additionally, on October 14, 2008, Treasury triggered the systemic risk exception to the FDIC Act, enabling the FDIC to temporarily provide a 100% guarantee of the senior debt of all FDIC-insured institutions and their holding companies, as well as deposits in non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts under a Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”). Coverage under the TLGP is available for 30 days without charge and thereafter at a cost of 75 basis points per annum for senior unsecured debt and 10 basis points per annum surcharge for non-interest bearing transaction deposits in excess of $250,000 per account. The Company is currently evaluating its participation in the TLGP.
It is presently unclear what impact the EESA, the CPP, the TLGP, other previously announced liquidity and funding initiatives of the Federal Reserve and other agencies and any additional programs that may be initiated in the future will have on the financial markets and the other difficulties described above, or on the U.S. banking and financial industries and the broader U.S. and global economies.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses
There was significant disruption and volatility in the financial and capital markets during the second half of 20072008 and the first ninethree months of 2008.2009. Turmoil in the mortgage market adversely impacted both domestic and global markets, resulting in a credit and liquidity crisis. The disruption has been exacerbated by significant declines in valuations within the real estate and housing markets. Decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral for loans, including loans originated by the Company. Adverse changes in the economy may have a negative effect on the ability of the Company’s borrowers to make timely loan payments, which would have an adverse impact on the Company’s earnings. A further increase in loan delinquencies could adversely impact loan loss experience, causing potential increases in the provision and allowance for loan losses.

Management considers the allowance adequate based upon its analysis of the portfolio as of September 30, 2008.March 31, 2009. However, no assurances can be made that future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses will not be necessary as a result of increases in non-performing loans and other factors.
Throughout the thirdfirst quarter and first nine months of 2008,2009, the Company hadincurred net charge-offs of $2.38$1.51 million and $3.04 million, respectively, compared with $744$294 thousand and $1.36 million in the respective periods of 2007.2008. Annualized net charge-offs for the thirdfirst quarter and first nine months of 20082009 were 0.81% and 0.34%, respectively.0.47%. The Company made provisions for loan losses of $3.46 million and $4.72$2.09 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2009 compared to $323 thousand in 2008. The increase in loan loss provision is primarily attributable to rising loss factors as net charge-offs were higher than in 2008. Qualitative risk factors were also higher, reflective of the higher risk of inherent loan losses due to rising unemployment, recessionary pressures, and first nine monthsdevaluation of 2008, respectively. No provision was required in the respective periodsvarious categories of 2007.collateral.

Over the comparable periods withcourse of the addition of GreenPoint and the new branches.
In October 2008,last two quarters, the FDIC has announced its intention to seek an increaseincreases in deposit insurance premiums, that, beginning in 2009, would effectively doubleas well as proposals to levy special assessments. The Company expects the averageincreased deposit insurance premiums paidwill add approximately $400 thousand in quarterly expense and the FDIC’s proposed special assessment could approximate $3.20 million, depending on the final special assessment level determined by depository institutions, such as the Bank, to ensure that the deposit insurance fund can adequately cover projected losses from future bank failures. At this time, the Company cannot provide any assurance as to the amount of any projected increase in its deposit insurance premium rate, should such an increase occur, as such changes are dependent upon a variety of factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control.FDIC.
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 tax credits generated by investments in low income housing and historic rehabilitations.
For the thirdfirst quarter of 2008,2009, income taxes were $1.75$2.35 million compared with $3.01$2.58 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2007.2008. For the quarters ended September 30,March 31, 2009 and 2008, and 2007, the effective tax rates were 27.81%30.97% and 29.16%28.44%, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets at September 30, 2008, decreased $182.38March 31, 2009, increased $65.91 million, or 8.48%3.09%, to $1.97$2.20 billion from December 31, 2007.2008. The declineincrease reflects decliningnet increases in the securities portfolio, valuations, continued loan payoffs, and managed attritionhigher levels of high-ratecustomer deposits as a result of deposit single-service households.campaigns and a general movement of funds into FDIC insured products.
Securities
Available-for-sale securities were $513.00$549.66 million at September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, compared with $664.12$520.72 million at December 31, 2007, a decrease2008, an increase of $151.12$28.94 million, or 22.75%5.56%. Held-to-maturity securities declined to $9.04$8.47 million at September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, compared with $12.08$8.67 million at December 31, 2007.2008.
For a more detailed discussionAvailable-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are reviewed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment. 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 and ability to hold the security to recovery or maturity. The portion of a decline in value associated with probable credit losses, if any, would be recorded as a loss within noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company does not believe any unrealized loss remaining in the investment portfolio, referindividually or in the aggregate, as of March 31, 2009, represents other-than-temporary impairment. The Company intends to footnote 3hold these securities until recovery or maturity and it is more likely than not that it will not sell these securities before recovery.
Included in available-for-sale securities is a portfolio of trust-preferred securities with a total market value of approximately $49.47 million as of March 31, 2009. That portfolio is comprised of single-issue securities and pooled trust-preferred securities. The single-issue securities had a total market value of approximately $26.77 million as of March 31, 2009, compared with their adjusted cost basis of approximately $55.52 million.
At March 31, 2009, the total market value of the pooled trust-preferred securities was approximately $22.71 million, compared with an adjusted cost basis of approximately $93.37 million. The collateral underlying these securities is comprised of 86% of bank trust-preferred securities and subordinated debt issuances of over 500 banks nationwide. The remaining collateral is from insurance companies and real estate investment trusts. The securities carry variable rate structures that float at a prescribed margin over 3-month LIBOR. During 2008 and 2009, these securities experienced credit rating downgrades, and certain of these securities are on negative watch. As of December 31, 2008, the Company recorded pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment charges of $15.46 million for one of its pooled trust preferred securities with demonstrated a probable adverse change in cash flow. Recent modeling of the expected cash flows from the pooled trust-preferred securities, at present, does not suggest any of the remaining securities will have an adverse cash flow effect under any of the scenarios modeled due to the September 30, 2008, financial statementsexistence of other subordinate classes within the pools.
The Company made a cumulative effect adjustment of $6.13 million as of January 1, 2009, to recognize the portion of non-credit losses associated with a non-agency mortgage-backed security for which the Company recognized a pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment charge of $14.47 million as of December 31, 2008. The Company determined that only $4.25 million of the original impairment charge was due to probable credit losses.

Monitoring for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTI”) is dependent on Form 10-Q.the aforementioned assumptions regarding future credit events and the general strength of the banking industry as it deals with credit losses in the current recessionary real estate market. Acceleration of bank losses and the possibility of unforeseen bank failures could result in changes in the Company’s outlook for these securities and possible future OTI. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that continued deterioration of credit portfolios within certain of those banks will not lead to unanticipated deferrals of interest payments and defaults beyond those assumed in the Company’s impairment testing. At present, cash flow modeling indicates varying ability to absorb additional deferrals and defaults before incurring breaks in interest or principal for the various pools.

Over the course of the last three years, the Company has taken measures to tightenenhance its commercial underwriting standards. The more stringent underwriting has led to improved credit quality, but,and coupled with a reduced complement of commercial loan officers, has resulted in decreases in the loan portfolio. The Company also continues to realize net payoffs in the area of consumer finance, as it competes with credit card lenders and captive automobile finance companies.
The held for investment loan portfolio continues to be diversified among loan types and industry segments.

Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets include loans on non-accrual status, loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, and other real estate owned (“OREO”). Non-performing assets were $7.89$13.74 million at September 30, 2008, $3.47March 31, 2009, $14.09 million at December 31, 2007,2008, and $3.08$3.54 million at September 30, 2007. The increase in non-performing assets stems largely from the addition of one loan relationship in the Richmond, Virginia, market. Those loans have been appropriately reserved for based on management’s analysis of potential impairment.March 31, 2008.

Risk-Based Capital
Risk-based capital guidelines promulgated by federal banking agencies weight balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet commitments based on inherent risks associated with the respective asset types. At September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, the Company’s total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 13.30%12.64% compared with 12.34%12.91% at December 31, 2007.2008.

All of the Company’s regulatory capital ratios exceed the current well-capitalized levels. Regulatory capital ratios declined from December 31, 2008, primarily because of the treatment of collateralized mortgage obligations and collateralized debt obligations when rated below investment grade.

PART I. ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, the Company maintained liquidity in the form of cash and cash equivalent balances of $53.24$100.96 million, unpledged securities available-for-sale of $141.27$183.90 million, and total FHLB credit availability of approximately $57.89$143.9 million. Cash and cash equivalents as well as advances from the FHLB are immediately available for satisfaction of deposit withdrawals, customer credit needs and operations of the Company. Investment securities available-for-sale representrepresents a secondary level of liquidity available for conversion to liquid funds in the event of extraordinary needs. The Company also maintains approved lines of credit with correspondent banks as backup liquidity sources.
The Company maintains a liquidity policy as a means to manage liquidity and the associated risk. The policy includes a Liquidity Contingency Plan (the “Liquidity Plan”) that is designed as a tool for the Company to detect liquidity issues promptly in order to protect depositors, creditors and shareholders. The Liquidity Plan includes monitoring various internal and external indicators such as changes in core deposits and changes in market conditions. It provides for timely responses to a wide variety of funding scenarios ranging from changes in loan demand to a decline in the Company’s quarterly earnings to a decline in the market price of the Company’s stock. The Liquidity Plan calls for specific responses designed to meet a wide range of liquidity needs based upon assessments on a recurring basis by the Company and its Board of Directors.

Interest Rate Risk and Asset/Liability Management
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-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-earning assets reprice differently than interest-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-bearing liabilities. Interest rate risk has four primary components: 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 due to embedded options, often 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 exposure to insulate net interest income and net earnings from fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. To measure its exposure to 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 all off-balance sheet financial instruments and combines the various factors affecting rate sensitivity into an earnings outlook. The results of these simulations indicate the existence and severity of interest 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 and 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. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely predict the impact of fluctuations 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 Company’s strategies. However, the earnings simulation model is currently the best tool available to the Company for managing interest rate risk.
Specific strategies for management of interest rate risk have included shortening the amortized maturity of new fixed-rate loans, increasing the volume of adjustable-rate loans to reduce the average maturity of the Company’s interest-earning assets, and monitoring the term and structure of liabilities to maintain a balanced mix of maturity and repricing structures to mitigate potential exposure. At September 20, 2008,March 31, 2009, net interest income modeling shows the Company to be in a slightly asset-sensitiverelatively neutral position. Additionally, structure in the Company’s assets and liabilities creates a situation where net interest income decreases in a sustained increasing rate environment.

-30-


The Company has established policy limits for tolerance of interest rate risk that allow for no more than a 10% reduction in projected net interest income for the next twelve months based on a comparison of net interest income simulations 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.

-33-


The following table summarizes the projected impact on the next twelve months’ net interest income and the economic value of equity as of September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, and December 31, 2007,2008, of immediate and sustained rate shocks in the interest rate environments of plus and minus 100 and 200 basis points from the base simulation, assuming no remedial measures are effected. As of March 31, 2009, the Federal Open Market Committee set a target range for federal funds of 0 to 25 basis points, rendering a complete downward shock of 200 basis points not realistic and not meaningful. In the downward rate shocks presented, benchmark interest rates are dropped with floors near 0%.
The economic value of equity is a measure which reflects the impact of changing rates on the underlying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities in various rate scenarios. The scenarios illustrate the potential estimated impact of instantaneous rate shocks on the underlying value of equity. The economic value of the equity is based on the present value of all the future cash flows under the different rate scenarios.

PART I. ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) Rule 13a-15(b). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s CEO along with the Company’s CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.
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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is currently a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims in the normal course of business. Although the Company and legal counsel are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each of these matters with certainty, they are of the belief that the resolution of these actions should not have a material adverse affect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
Except for the risk factor set forth below, thereThere were no material changes to the risk factors as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Declines in asset values may result in impairment charges and adversely impact the value of our investments
The Company maintains an investment portfolio, which includes trust-preferred securities. At September 30, 2008, the total market value of these trust-preferred securities was approximately $87.52 million, compared with an adjusted cost basis of approximately $164.20 million. The decline in market value of these securities is primarily due to the credit market disruptions in bank subordinated debt instruments, credit rating downgrades and the possibility of future negative credit events within the banking sector. The Company periodically, but not less than quarterly, evaluates its investments and other assets for impairment indicators. In the event that the Company is required to record impairment charges for its investments due to a decline in value that is considered other-than-temporarily impaired, it could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s results of operations and a non-cash impact on funds from operations in the period in which the write-down occurs.2008.
