NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

First Community Bancshares, Inc. is a financial holding company that provides banking products and services to individuals and commercial customers through its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Community Bank (the “Bank”), a Virginia-chartered banking institution, and personal and commercial insurance products and services through its wholly-owned subsidiary Greenpoint Insurance Group, Inc. (“Greenpoint”). The Bank offers wealth management services and investment advice through its Trust Division and wholly-owned subsidiary First Community Wealth Management (“FCWM”), a registered investment advisory firm. Unless the context suggests otherwise, the use of the term “Company” refers to First Community Bancshares, Inc. (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries as a consolidated entity. The Company operates in one business segment, Community Banking, which consists of commercial and consumer banking, lending activities, wealth management, and insurance services. The Company’s executive office is located at One Community Place, Bluefield, Virginia. As of March 31, 2015, our operations were conducted through 63 locations in 4 states: Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States 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. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full calendar year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2014 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 3, 2015. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with standards for the preparation of interim consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2014 Form 10-K.

Significant Accounting Policies

A complete and detailed description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s 2014 Form 10-K. A discussion of the Company’s application of critical accounting estimates is included in “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 2 of this report.

Reclassifications and Corrections

Certain amounts reported in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-2, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis,” which (1) modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities; (2) eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership; (3) affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities involved with VIEs that have fee arrangements and related party relationships and (4) provides a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. Upon adoption, ASU 2015-2 provides for transition through either a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach, which requires restatement as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. ASU 2015-2 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the guidance is expected to have on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-04, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” The ASU clarifies when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. Specifically, the new ASU requires a creditor to reclassify a collateralized consumer mortgage loan to real estate property upon obtaining legal title to the real estate collateral, or the borrower voluntarily conveying all interest in the real estate property to the lender to satisfy the loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement. Additional disclosures are required detailing the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgages collateralized by real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. The new guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, but resulted in additional disclosures. See Note 4, “Credit Quality,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

On December 12, 2014, the Company completed the sale of thirteen branches to CresCom Bank (“CresCom”), Charleston, South Carolina. The divestiture consisted of ten branches in the Southeastern, Coastal region of North Carolina and three branches in South Carolina, all of which were previously acquired in the FDIC-assisted acquisition of Waccamaw Bank (“Waccamaw”). At closing, CresCom assumed total deposits of $215.19 million and total loans of $70.04 million. The transaction excluded loans covered under FDIC loss share agreements. The Company recorded a net gain of $755 thousand in connection with the divestiture, which included a deposit premium received from CresCom of $6.45 million and goodwill allocation of $6.45 million.

On October 24, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of seven branches from Bank of America, National Association. At acquisition, the branches had total deposits of $318.88 million. The Company assumed the deposits for a premium of $5.79 million. No loans were included in the purchase. Additionally, the Company purchased the real estate or assumed the leases associated with the branches. The acquisition expanded the Company’s presence by six branches in Southwestern Virginia and one branch in Central North Carolina.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of potential common stock that could be issued by the Company. In accordance with the treasury stock method of accounting, potential common stock could be issued for stock options, nonvested restricted stock awards, performance based stock awards, and convertible preferred stock. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus the number of dilutive potential common shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share excludes potential common shares that have an exercise price greater than the average market value of the Company’s common stock because the effect would be antidilutive.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the periods indicated:

The following table presents the components of the Company’s net loss or gain from the sale of securities in the periods indicated:

The carrying value of securities as security for various purposes was $261.07 million as of March 31, 2015, and $268.78 million as of December 31, 2014.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio quarterly for indications of OTTI. Debt securities not beneficially owned by the Company include securities issued from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), municipal securities, and single issue trust preferred securities. For debt securities not beneficially owned, the Company analyzes factors such as the severity and duration of the impairment, adverse conditions within the issuing industry, prospects for the issuer, performance of the security, changes in rating by rating agencies, and other qualitative factors to determine if the impairment will be recovered. If the evaluation suggests that the impairment will not be recovered, the Company calculates the present value of the security to determine the amount of OTTI. The security is then written down to its current present value and the Company calculates and records the amount of the loss due to credit factors in earnings through noninterest income and the amount due to other factors in stockholders’ equity through OCI. Temporary impairment on these securities is primarily related to changes in interest rates, certain disruptions in the credit markets, destabilization in the Eurozone, and other current economic factors. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, and March 31, 2014, the Company incurred no OTTI charges related to debt securities not beneficially owned.

Debt securities beneficially owned by the Company consist of corporate securities, certificates of deposit, and mortgage-backed securities (“MBSs”). For debt securities beneficially owned, the Company analyzes the cash flows for each applicable security to determine if an adverse change in cash flows expected to be collected has occurred. If the projected value of cash flows at the current reporting date is less than the present value previously projected, and less than the current book value, an adverse change has occurred. The Company then compares the current present value of cash flows to the current net book value to determine the credit-related portion of the OTTI. The credit-related OTTI is recorded in earnings through noninterest income and any remaining noncredit-related OTTI is recorded in stockholders’ equity through OCI. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred no credit-related OTTI charges related to debt securities beneficially owned. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred credit-related OTTI charges related to debt securities beneficially owned of $232 thousand that were associated with a non-Agency MBS that was sold in November 2014.

The following table presents the activity for credit-related losses recognized in earnings on debt securities where a portion of an OTTI was recognized in OCI for the periods indicated:

For equity securities, the Company considers its intent to hold or sell the security before recovery, the severity and duration of the decline in fair value of the security below its cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether the decline appears to be related to issuer, general market, or industry conditions to determine if the impairment will be recovered. If the Company deems the impairment other-than-temporary in nature, the security is written down to its current present value and the OTTI loss is charged to earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred no OTTI charges related to equity holdings. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred OTTI charges related to certain equity holdings of $32 thousand.
