FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 evidences Congress’ determination that the disclosure of forward-looking information is desirable for investors and encourages such disclosure by providing a safe harbor for forward-looking statements by corporate management. This Form 10Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty. “Forward-looking statements” are easily identified by the use of words such “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” and similar words that refer to a future outlook. To comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the company notes that a variety of factors could cause the company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the company’s forward-looking statements.

The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of the company’s business include, but are not limited to, the growth of the economy, interest rate movements, the impact of competitive products, services and pricing, customer business requirements, Congressional legislation and similar matters. We caution readers of this report not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which are subject to influence by the named risk factors and unanticipated future events. Actual results, accordingly, may differ materially from management expectations.

POTOMAC BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2006 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2005

 

1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, the results of operations, and cash flows and statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. The statements should be read in conjunction with Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Potomac Bancshares, Inc. annual report for the year ended December 31, 2005. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The consolidated financial statements of Potomac Bancshares, Inc. (the company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Charles Town (the bank), include the accounts of both companies. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

 

2. The 2003 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by stockholders on May 13, 2003 which authorized up to 180,000 shares of common stock to be used in the granting of incentive options to employees and directors. This is the first stock incentive plan adopted by the company. Under the plan, the option price cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock on the date granted. An option’s maximum term is ten years from the date of grant. The company granted 45,893 options in the first quarter of 2006 and 45,882 options in the first quarter of 2005. No options were granted in 2003. Options granted under the plan may be subject to a graded vesting schedule.

In December 2004, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant and eliminates the choice to account for employee stock options under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25). The company adopted SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method and as such, results for prior periods have not been restated. Prior to January 1, 2006, no compensation expense was recognized for stock option grants as all such grants had an exercise price not less than fair market value on the date of grant.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, incremental stock-based compensation expense recognized for the three month period ending March 31, 2006 was $72 thousand ($49 thousand after tax), which impacted basic and diluted earnings per share by $.02 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

The following illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Bases compensation”, prior to January 1, 2006:

Stock option compensation expense is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. The weighted average estimated fair value of stock options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $3.88 and $2.91, respectively. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for grants during 2006 and 2005: option term until exercise 10 years, expected volatility of 17.86% and 19.46%, risk-free interest rates of 4.43% and 4.26%, and expected dividend yields of 2.66% and 3.15%, respectively.

3. On March 14, 2006 the Board of Directors of Potomac Bancshares, Inc. declared a 2% stock dividend payable on June 1, 2006. Shares issued increased from 3,600,000 to 3,671,707. All per share information for all periods presented has been restated to reflect this dividend.

On January 11, 2005 the Board of Directors of Potomac Bancshares, Inc. declared a stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend payable on March 15, 2005. Shares issued increased from 1,800,000 to 3,600,000. All per share information has been restated to reflect this stock split.

Table of Contents

The primary purpose of the investment portfolio is to generate income and meet liquidity needs of the company through readily saleable financial instruments. The portfolio is made up of fixed rate bonds, whose prices move inversely with rates. At the end of any accounting period, the investment portfolio has unrealized gains and losses. The company monitors the portfolio which is subject to liquidity needs, market rate changes and credit risk changes to see if adjustments are needed. The primary concern in a loss situation is the credit quality of the business behind the instrument. The primary cause of impairments is the decline in the prices of the bonds as rates have risen. The 36 individual securities in the consolidated portfolio have losses. These securities have not suffered credit deterioration and the company has the ability and intent to hold these issues to maturity; therefore, the gross unrealized losses are considered temporary as of March 31, 2006.

The following table summarizes the fair value and gross unrealized losses for securities aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous gross unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 (in thousands).

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement 140” (Statement 156). Statement 156 amends Statement 140 with respect to separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. Statement 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract and requires all servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. Statement 156 also permits entities to subsequently measure servicing assets and liabilities using an amortization method or fair value measurement method. Under the amortization method, servicing assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of servicing. Under the fair value measurement method, servicing assets are measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in net income for the period the change occurs.

Adoption of Statement 156 is required as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning subsequent to September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements.

The company does not expect the adoption of Statement 156 at the beginning of 2007 to have a material impact.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimatable and (ii) SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.

Our allowance for loan losses has two basic components: the formula allowance and the unallocated allowance. Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur. The formula allowance uses a historical loss view as an indicator of future losses and, as a result, could differ from the loss incurred in the future. However, since this history is updated with the most recent loss information, the errors that might otherwise occur are mitigated. The unallocated allowance captures losses that are attributable to various economic events, industry or geographic sectors whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized in the formula allowance.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

Total assets have increased $6.5 million or 2.3% from the December 2005 total of $277.3 million to $283.8 million at March 31, 2006. An increase in loans and securities available for sale of $4 million during this time period combined with a decrease in cash and due from banks makes up the majority of the change on the asset side of the balance sheet.

Total deposits have increased $5.7 million or 2.5% at March 31, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005. The decrease in non-interest-bearing deposits is 5.5% at March 31, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005. Interest-bearing deposits have increased 3.8% during this time period. During the third quarter of 2005, we acquired $3.4 million in brokered certificates of deposit. This is the first time the bank has had brokered deposits of any kind. These deposits have a five year maturity, an interest rate of 4.4% and were acquired to fund several large loans with equivalent maturities.

The March 31, 2006 annualized return on average assets is 1.34% compared to 1.39% at December 31, 2005. At March 31, 2006 the annualized return on average equity is 14.8% compared to 15.38% at December 31, 2005. The leverage capital (equity to assets) ratio is 9.36% at March 31, 2006 compared to 9.18% at December 31, 2005.

The following table is an analysis of the company’s allowance for loan losses with amounts shown in thousands. Net charge-offs for the company have been very low when compared with the size of the total loan portfolio. Management monitors the loan portfolio on a continual basis with procedures that allow for problem loans and potential problem loans to be highlighted and watched. Written reports are prepared on a quarterly basis for all loans and information on commercial loans graded below a certain level are reported to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. Based on experience, these loan policies and the bank’s grading and review system, management believes the loan loss allowance is adequate.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest income on other nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received. Following is a table showing the risk elements in the loan portfolio with amounts in thousands.

At March 31, 2006, other potential problem loans (excluding impaired loans) total $1.9 million. Loans are viewed as potential problem loans according to the ability of such borrowers to comply with current repayment terms. These loans are subject to constant management attention, and their status is reviewed on a regular basis. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is specifically allocated for these loans as a group at a rate that reflects the potential problems these loans may present.

The details of the income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are highlighted below.

Ø Net income in 2006 is 5.5% greater than 2005 net income.

Ø At March 31, 2006 total interest and dividend income is up 28.7% compared to March 31, 2005 due to loan growth and some increase in interest rates.

Ø The income on the securities portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2006 is 30.1% greater than the same time period in 2005.

Ø Interest expense continues to increase. At the end of March 31, 2006 interest expense was 82.0% above 2005 expense for the same time period. The increase in expense is a combination of growth in deposits and higher interest rates being paid to retain deposits and attract additional deposit growth.

Ø Net interest income through March 31, 2006 is 12.9% greater than at March 31, 2005.

Ø Net interest margin at March 31, 2006 is 4.59%, up very slightly from the December 31, 2005 figure of 4.58%. During the first three months of 2006, the overall average rate on loans has increased to 7.41% compared to 6.99% at December 31, 2005. During this same period the overall average rate being paid on deposits also increased to 2.49% compared to 1.87% at December 31, 2005.

Non interest income increased 9.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to March 31, 2005. Some significant income items are listed here.

Ø Trust and financial services income increased 6.3% at March 31, 2006 compared to March 31, 2005 due in large part to accrual of estate fees and to the continued contribution from BCT Investments.

Ø Service charges on deposit accounts have increased 14.9% in 2006 over 2005 and are still slightly under budget at March 31, 2006. The majority of these fees are overdraft related and may be under budget due to slower deposit growth than anticipated by the budget.

Ø Credit and debit card fees have increased 38.6% at March 31, 2006 compared to the same time in 2005 due to the growth in the deposit account base and continued concentration on sale of cards by bank personnel.

Ø Net gain on sale of loans has decreased 43.2% at March 31, 2006 compared to the same time in 2005. Secondary market loan business has continued to decrease since the latter part of 2005.

Ø Other noninterest income has decreased 9.4% as of March 31, 2006 compared to March 31, 2005. The most significant differences in the detail of noninterest income accounts are as follows: the 53.1% decrease in loan insurance commissions in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005 due to inability to offer a previously offered insurance product and the 137.8% increase in letter of credit fee income in the first quarter of 2006 compared to the first quarter of 2005.

Table of Contents

Noninterest expense increased 18.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Some details of this increase are listed below.

Ø Salaries and employee benefits for the first three months of 2006 are 26.2% more than for the first three months of 2005 due to annual salary increases, some increase in staffing and related costs.

Ø Occupancy and furniture and equipment expense has increased 4.7% in 2006 compared to 2005. As the bank continues to grow so does the space and equipment needed to respond to the growth. Facilities have been remodeled, several additional office spaces have been leased and, as has been the case for a number of years, the bank’s continual attention to staying on the cutting edge of technology comes at considerable cost.

Ø Advertising and marketing expenses have increased 56.5% in 2006 compared to 2005 due to continual efforts to grow the bank’s customer base by keeping Bank of Charles Town in the public “eye” as well as to keep customers informed. These efforts include a new advertising program in 2006 that is providing a new look to bank brochures and media advertising. The bank is proactive in providing information to our customers to educate them about the increasing fraudulent schemes and scams in the market place today.

Ø Auditing and accounting expenses have decreased 15.9% in 2006 compared to 2005. With the delay in the required compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, this expense will be less than originally budgeted for 2006.

Ø ATM and check card expenses have increased 27.3% in the first three months of 2006 compared to the same time period in 2005 due to growth in the deposit account base, concentrated sales efforts of the bank staff to market this product and cost of scheduled replacement of customer cards.

Ø Other noninterest expenses have increased 10.9% at March 31, 2006 compared to March 31, 2005. Significant details in this category include the following.

 

    Printing, stationery and supplies expense is 15.8% less in 2006 than in 2005.

 

    Home equity closing costs are up 78% in 2006 compared to 2005 due to increased loans being made.

 

    Pinnacle fee expense is up 25.7% in 2006 compared to 2005. These are the fees paid during the initial 5 year contract period with the overdraft protection product vendor. Increases are due to increased deposit accounts and therefore increased usage of the product.

 

    Other professional fees have increased 31.7% in 2006 compared to 2005. Increase due in large part to a fee paid to a recruiting firm for personnel.

 

    Postage expense increased 30.6% in 2006 over 2005 due to increasing customer base and customer contact emphasis.

 

    Training and study expense has increased 194.2% in 2006 compared to 2005. Increase attributed to growth in staff and continuing emphasis by management to have a well trained staff.

LIQUIDITY

Liquid assets of the company include cash and due from banks, securities purchased under agreements to resell, federal funds sold, securities available for sale, and loans and investments maturing within one year. The company’s statement of cash flows details this liquidity since January 1, 2006.

Operating Activities. The company’s net income provides cash from the bank’s operating activities. The net income figure is adjusted for certain noncash transactions, such as depreciation expense, that reduce net income but do not require a cash outlay. Through March 31, 2006 net income as adjusted has provided cash of $151 thousand. Interest income earned on loans and investments is the company’s major income source.

Investing Activities. Customer deposits and company borrowings provide the funds used to invest in loans and securities investments. In addition, the principal portion of loan payments and payoffs and funds from maturing investments provide cash flow. Purchases of bank premises and equipment are an investing activity. The net amount of cash used in investing activities through March 31, 2006 is $7.7 million.

Financing Activities. Customer deposits and company borrowings provide the financing for the investing activities as stated above. If the company has an excess of funds on any given day, the bank will sell these funds to make additional interest income to fund activities. Likewise, if the company has a shortage of funds on any given day it will purchase funds and pay interest for the use of these funds. Financing activities also include payment of dividends, purchase of shares of the company’s common stock for the treasury and repayment of any borrowed or purchased funds. The net amount of cash provided by financing activities in 2006 through March 31 is $5.6 million.

The company has additional funding sources in the Federal Home Loan Bank, The Bankers Bank and Mercantile-Safe Deposit and Trust Company. Liquidity of the company is adequate to meet present and future financial obligations.
