MANAGEMENT COMMENTS 

Rex L. Smith, III, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The Company continues to grow its loan portfolio as evident by a $17 million increase since year end.  This was accomplished while holding the line on pricing as our overall non-covered loan yield increased slightly during the first quarter of 2015. This compared to a decrease in core loans for the same quarter last year.  Our core deposit base also continues to grow and in the first quarter experienced a $6 million, or 7.1%, increase in demand deposit accounts, which replaced approximately $8.6 million in brokered time deposits."

Smith added, "Selective growth is crucial for our franchise to continue to enhance value.  We added four new production people in various geographic locations in the first quarter.  While this creates some short term costs, we expect to grow into economies of scale quickly and are already seeing positive effects from the additions."

Smith concluded, "We continue to grow the organization while not sacrificing credit or pricing risks with our growth.  We have been able to improve or maintain loan and securities yields, which will bode well for us in the future as margin pressures continue to burden our industry.  We will continue to execute the strategic initiatives we have in place, which should yield positive results for the remainder of 2015."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income and net income available to common shareholders was $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2015, compared with $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2014.  Earnings per common share, basic and fully diluted, were $0.06 per share, $0.10 per share and $0.08 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, and March 31, 2014, respectively.

The decline in net income during the first quarter of 2015 compared with the fourth quarter of 2014 was due primarily to a $776,000 increase in noninterest expenses coupled with a $435,000 decline in noninterest income on a linked quarter basis.  The increase in overhead expense was driven by higher salaries and compensation expense of $382,000, and an increase in other real estate owned (OREO) related expenses of $320,000.  The increase in compensation expenses was related to higher taxes and benefits cost, while the increase in OREO related expenses was the result of net gains on the sale of OREO in the fourth quarter versus nominal expenses in the first quarter of 2015.

The decrease in net income when comparing the first quarter of 2015 with the same period in 2014 was the result of a $524,000 decline in net interest income combined with a $342,000 increase in noninterest expenses.  Net interest income experienced a boost in the first quarter of 2014 as a result of $200,000 in cash payments on acquisition development and construction loss share loans with a zero carrying balance.  Interest on borrowed funds increased $295,000 year-over-year, the result of a higher level of FHLB borrowings and a third party bank loan obtained in the second quarter of 2014 that paid off the TARP investment, eliminating higher costing dividends.

The following table presents summary income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014.

Net Interest Income

Linked Quarter Basis
Net interest income was $9.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared with $9.8 million for fourth quarter of 2014, representing a decline of only $58,000, or 0.59%.   Interest income on a linked quarter basis declined $76,000, or 0.65%, to equal $11.7 million for the first quarter of 2015.  Interest income with respect to non-covered loans increased $182,000, or 2.4%, during the first quarter when compared with the fourth quarter of 2014.  This increase, quarter over quarter, was partially attributed to $161,000 in cash basis interest received on a nonaccrual loan during the first quarter of 2015 coupled with solid loan growth.  Interest income with respect to FDIC covered loans declined $88,000, or 4.4%, during the first quarter, solely due to lower average balances on the loan portfolio precipitated by continued amortization. 

Securities income equaled $2.0 million on a tax equivalent basis for the first quarter of 2015, which represented a $135,000 decline from the fourth quarter of 2014.  The decline in income was volume driven as average securities balances were down $20.6 million quarter over quarter.  The overall tax equivalent yield on the securities portfolio improved two basis points from 2.82% for the fourth quarter of 2014 to 2.84% for the first quarter of 2015.

Interest expense declined $18,000, or 0.96%, on a linked quarter basis as average interest bearing liability balances declined $8.2 million.  The Company's cost of interest bearing liabilities increased two basis points to 0.81% from 0.79% in the prior quarter.  This slight increase was influenced by a $30.0 million notional value balance sheet swap entered into during the fourth quarter to fix five-year funding at 1.69%. The cost of FHLB borrowings was 1.19% for the fourth quarter of 2014 and increased to 1.30% for the first quarter of 2015.  During the fourth quarter, additional FHLB borrowings were also entered into to purchase higher yielding bank qualified municipal securities. The interest rate swap will aid the Bank in a rising rate environment and lock in a spread over the next five years on the securities purchased.   

With the changes in interest income, the tax equivalent net interest margin improved seven basis points from 3.83% in the fourth quarter of 2014 to 3.90% in the first quarter of 2015. Likewise, the interest spread increased from 3.76% to 3.82% on a linked quarter basis.

Year-Over-Year
Net interest income declined $524,000, or 5.1%, from the first quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of 2015.  Interest income declined $229,000, or 1.9%, over this time period.  The most significant decline was evidenced in the FDIC covered loan portfolio.  Interest income on the covered loan portfolio declined approximately $1.0 million.  Part of the decline in covered loan income was  related to significant cash payments on loans related to pools that had previously been written down to a zero carrying value equaled $200,000 in the first quarter of 2014, and there were no significant cash payments received on these loans during the first quarter of 2015.  The remainder of the decrease was due to normal amortization within the portfolio.  As a result, the yield on the covered loan portfolio fell from 16.50% for the first quarter of 2014 to 12.43% in the first quarter of 2015.  Despite the decline in covered loan yields and the net interest margin, the non-covered loan portfolio performed well.  Non-covered loan interest income increased $855,000, or 12.1%, from March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015.  This increase was the direct result of robust loan growth noted during the last four quarters, which resulted in a $76.5 million increase in average non-covered loan balances from the first quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of 2015.  Loan yields on the non-covered portfolio declined three basis points from the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Interest expense increased $295,000, or 18.8%, when comparing the first quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015. Interest expense on deposits increased $40,000 or 2.8%, while interest expense on borrowings increased $255,000.  The slight increase in deposit cost was driven by higher cost time deposits. Yet, overall the Bank's cost of interest bearing deposits increased only two basis points year-over-year while average interest bearing deposit balances increased $5.4 million.   Average FHLB advances increased $19.3 million, and the expense associated with the borrowings increased $162,000 from the first quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of 2015.  This increase in interest expense was also influenced by the $30.0 million notional value swap entered into during the fourth quarter of 2014.  Consequently, the average cost of FHLB and other borrowings increased 50 basis points from 0.80% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to 1.30% for the first quarter of 2015.  Other interest expense was attributed to the third-party loan that the Company closed in the second quarter of 2014 for which the proceeds were used to pay off its then outstanding TARP investment.  The pre-tax interest on the loan equaled $92,000 for the first quarter of 2015, versus no expense in the first quarter of 2014. 

The tax equivalent net interest margin declined 38 basis points from 4.28% in the first quarter of 2014 to 3.90% in the first quarter of 2015.  Likewise, the interest spread decreased from 4.23% to 3.82% over the same time period.  The decline in the margin was precipitated by the reduction in cash basis covered loan income, which helped drive overall loan yields down 66 basis points.

The following tables compare the Company's net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company records a separate provision for loan losses for its non-covered loan portfolio and its FDIC covered loan portfolio.  There was no provision for loan losses on the FDIC covered loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2015 or the fourth and first quarters of 2014.  Likewise, there was no provision for loan losses on the non-covered loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2015 or the fourth and first quarters of 2014.  With respect to the non-covered loan portfolio, this was the direct result of nominal charge-offs and the ongoing stabilization of asset quality.  A discussion of loan quality will be presented in greater detail in the Asset Quality section below.

Noninterest Income

Linked Quarter Basis
Noninterest income was $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2015, compared with $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2014.  The $435,000, or 23.7%, decline in noninterest income on a linked quarter basis was primarily the result of lower gains on the sales of securities.  During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Bank realized $595,000 in securities gains.  Management was able to sell amortizing mortgage backed securities at a gain of $460,000 and used the proceeds to purchase municipal securities with yields similar to the assets sold.  Net gain on the sale of securities equaled $297,000 for the first quarter of 2015, a decline of $298,000, or 50.1%, when compared with the prior quarter.  Service charges on deposit accounts declined $38,000 to equal $528,000 for the first quarter of 2015.  The 6.7% decline was influenced by an inordinate amount of inclement weather during the first three months of 2015.  The weather hampers consumer spending and correspondingly service charge and fee income.

Year-Over-Year
Noninterest income increased $96,000, or 7.4%, from the first quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of 2015.   Other income increased $123,000 year-over-year, or 56.7%, to $340,000 for the first quarter of 2015.  The primary increase was noted in mortgage revenue.  Mortgage loan fee income increased $105,000 to equal $148,000 for the first quarter of 2015.  This is a direct result of the Bank's wholesale mortgage team hired during the second quarter of 2014.  Despite the inclement weather mentioned above, year-over-year, service charge income increased $39,000, or 8.0%.  These two trends were partially offset by a $58,000 reduction in gains on securities sales. 

Noninterest Expenses

Linked Quarter Basis
Noninterest expenses totaled $9.5 million for the first quarter of 2015, as compared with $8.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of $776,000, or 8.9%.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $382,000, or 9.3%, to equal $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2015.  The largest component of this increase was a $142,000 increase in total payroll taxes.  Other increases were $52,000 in fewer deferred FASB costs on a linked quarter basis and $66,000 in increased insurance premiums.  On a linked quarter basis, the increase in salaries was only $70,400, or 1.8%, which is more representative of the historical changes in the Bank's compensation expense.

OREO expense was $85,000 for the first quarter of 2015 as compared to income of $235,000 for the fourth quarter of 2014.  The $320,000, or 136.2%, swing from income to expense in the first quarter was due to gains on the sale of OREO properties during the fourth quarter.    These increases were partially offset by a $141,000, or 10.2%, reduction in the indemnification asset amortization.

Year-Over-Year
Noninterest expenses increased $342,000, or 3.7%, when comparing the first quarter of 2015 to the same period in 2014.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $572,000, or 14.6%, from the first quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of 2015.  Increased staffing brought on after the first quarter of 2014, such as the wholesale mortgage team and more lending staff, accounted for the increase in salaries.  Additionally, management had expanded loan and retail production incentives, the payments of which impacted the current quarter.  Other operating expenses increased $188,000, or 13.2%, to equal $1.6 million at March 31, 2015.  The two most notable increases within these expenses were $88,000 in advertising expenses and $65,000 in credit related expenses.  Advertising expenses were higher than the prior quarter due to the timing of various promotional campaigns, while the increase in credit expense is related to the larger volume of loans.

FDIC amortization expense declined $259,000 to equal $1.2 million at March 31, 2015, while OREO related expenses declined $198,000 over the same time frame.    The lower amortization expense was solely due to normal amortization within the FDIC covered loan portfolio throughout 2014 and the first quarter of 2015.  The 70.0% reduction in OREO expenses is the result of higher write-downs taken during the first quarter of 2014 than during the same quarter of 2015.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $351,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared with income tax expense of $673,000 and $709,000 for the fourth and first quarters of 2014, respectively.   The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2015 was 21.1% versus 23.0% and 29.1% for the fourth and first quarters of 2014, respectively.    This decline in the effective tax rate was due to an increased level of nontaxable income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets declined $18.0 million, or 1.6%, to $1.138 billion at March 31, 2015 from December 31, 2014.  Total assets increased $36.0 million, or 3.3%, since March 31, 2014.  Total loans were $743.6 million at March 31, 2015, increasing $16.1 million, or 2.2%, from year end 2014 and $78.1 million, or 11.7%, from March 31, 2014.   Total non-covered loans were $682.0 million at March 31, 2015 versus $664.7 million at the prior quarter end and $593.6 million at March 31, 2014. Total non-covered loans increased $88.4 million, or 14.9%, from March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015.

The March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 totals include $4.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of the PCI loans that were formerly categorized under the FDIC shared-loss agreement and are now categorized as non-covered loans.  While these loans no longer have FDIC loss guaranties, they are subject to SOP 03-3 accounting rules; thus, they will not receive consideration under the allowance for loan losses under the normal non-covered portfolio.  Excluding the $4.6 million mentioned above, non-covered loans would have increased $83.8 million, or 14.1%, since March 31, 2014.

During the first quarter of 2015, multifamily loans grew $8.3 million, or 24.6%, while residential 1-4 family loans grew $4.3 million, or 2.6%.  In comparing March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, the largest volume of loan growth was evidenced in commercial real estate loans of $31.1 million, or 12.2%.  Residential real estate loans and commercial loans grew $26.6 million and $21.2 million, or 18.2% and 26.2%, respectively, over the same time frame.

The following table shows the composition of the Company's non-covered loan portfolio at March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014.

The Company's securities portfolio, excluding equity securities, declined $32.9 million, or 10.6%, from $310.8 million at December 31, 2014 to $277.9 million at March 31, 2015.  Realized gains of $297,000 occurred during the first quarter of 2015 through sales and call activity, as compared to $595,000 taken during the fourth quarter of 2014 and $355,000 taken during the first quarter of 2014.  The decline in the volume of securities was a strategic decision by management to let brokered funding mature and fund solid loan growth with normal securities amortization, call activity, sales and maturities.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $21.7 million, $22.4 million and $38.9 million at March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively.  There were no federal funds purchased at March 31, 2015 versus $14.5 million at December 31, 2014 and none at March 31, 2014.

The following table shows the composition of the Company's securities portfolio, excluding equity securities, at March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014.

Interest bearing deposits at March 31, 2015 were $824.4 million, a decline of $9.9 million, or 1.2%, from December 31, 2014.  NOW account balances declined $8.2 million, or 6.6%, from December 31, 2014, while MMDA and savings account balances increased $3.8 million over the same time frame.  Retail time deposit account balances increased $3.0 million, or 0.65%, during the first quarter of 2015, while brokered time deposits declined $8.6 million, or 11.6%, since year end. 

Interest bearing deposits declined $6.8 million from March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015.  NOW, MMDA and savings account balances grew $16.9 million, $12.4 million and $3.7 million, respectively, over this time frame.  Time deposits declined $39.8 million, or 7.0%, of which $30.9 million was in brokered funding.  Management continued to allow brokered time deposits to mature while the retail deposit base grew.

FHLB advances were $96.2 million at March 31, 2015, compared with $96.4 million at December 31, 2014 and $76.9 million at March 31, 2014.  The Company increased the level of FHLB advances due to the low cost nature of this funding source and to assist with funding the sale of the Georgia franchise in the fourth quarter of 2013.  Furthermore, management increased its FHLB funding during the fourth quarter of 2014 by $14.8 million, while entering into a $30.0 million notional value balance sheet swap.  Long term debt totaled $8.1 million at March 31, 2015, declining by $1.6 million, or 16.5%, since December 31, 2014.  This borrowing, initially in the amount of $10.7 million, was obtained in April 2014, and the proceeds were used to redeem the Company's remaining outstanding TARP preferred stock.  The Company has amortized this debt $2.6 million within a year and should have the loan fully paid within the next two years.

The following table compares the mix of interest bearing deposits at March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014.

Shareholders' equity was $109.8 million at March 31, 2015, $107.7 million at December 31, 2014 and $110.6 million at March 31, 2014. In April 2014, $11.5 million in equity was redeemed in connection with the repurchase of the TARP preferred stock and the associated warrant.  Shareholders' equity increased $2.2 million, or 2.0%, from year end 2014 as the result of an increase in other comprehensive income related to net gains in the investment portfolio and net income of $1.3 million in the first quarter.  Year-over-year, shareholders equity declined only $801,000 despite the reduction in TARP proceeds mentioned above.  Solid earnings retention mitigated the loss in the level of capital, year-over-year.

Asset Quality – non-covered assets

Nonaccrual loans were $17.2 million at March 31, 2015, increasing $625,000 from December 31, 2014 and $4.7 million from March 31, 2014.  The 3.8% increase in nonaccrual loans in the first quarter of 2015 reflects one previously classified loan being placed on nonaccrual status.  The 36% increase in nonaccrual loans from March 31, 2014 was attributed to one loan relationship placed on nonaccrual during the fourth quarter.  While the level of nonaccrual loans has increased over the quarter and the last twelve months, the level of both substandard and special mention non-covered loans and assets have improved over the last five quarters, demonstrating continued improvement in asset quality.

The following chart shows the level of nonaccrual loans, classified loans and criticized loans over the last five quarters:

Total non-performing assets totaled $22.5 million at March 31, 2015, increasing $246,000 from the prior quarter end and $4.5 million since March 31, 2014.  The increase in non-performing assets in the first quarter of 2015 was due to the one nonaccrual loan noted above.  There were net charge-offs of $256,000 in the first quarter of 2015 compared with $497,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $34,000 in the first quarter of 2014.

The allowance for loan losses equaled 52.4% of non-covered nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2015, compared with 55.9% at December 31, 2014 and 82.3% at March 31, 2014. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming assets was 40.0% at March 31, 2015 compared with 41.6% at December 31, 2014 and 57.6% at March 31, 2014.  The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and OREO was 3.3% at March 31, 2015 compared with 3.4% at December 31, 2014 and 3.0% at March 31, 2014.

The following table reconciles the activity in the Company's non-covered allowance for loan losses, by quarter, for the past five quarters.

The following table sets forth selected asset quality data, excluding FDIC covered assets and PCI loans, and ratios for the dates indicated:

A further breakout of nonaccrual loans, excluding PCI and covered loans, at March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014 is below:

Capital Requirements

The Company's ratio of total risk-based capital was 15.1% at March 31, 2015 compared with 14.7% at December 31, 2014.  The tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.9% at March 31, 2015 and 13.5% at December 31, 2014. The Company's tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.8% at March 31, 2015 and 9.4% at December 31, 2014.  All capital ratios exceed regulatory minimums to be considered well capitalized. 

The increase in the ratios reflects changes to the capital and asset risk-weighting of BASEL III, which became effective January 1, 2015. BASEL III introduced the common equity tier 1 capital ratio, which was 13.4% at March 31, 2015.

The information below presents certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Common tangible book value equals total shareholders' equity less preferred stock, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, and common tangible book value per share is computed by dividing common tangible book value by the number of common shares outstanding. Common tangible assets equal total assets less preferred stock, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.

Management believes that common tangible book value and the ratio of common tangible book value to common tangible assets are meaningful because they are some of the measures that the Company and investors use to assess capital adequacy. Management believes that presenting the change in common tangible book value per share, the change in stock price to common tangible book value per share, and the change in the ratio of common tangible book value to common tangible assets provide meaningful period-to-period comparisons of these measures.

These measures are a supplement to GAAP used to prepare the Company's financial statements and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP measures. In addition, the Company's non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP measures from their respective GAAP basis measures.
