General
F &
M Bank Corp. (the “Company” or “we”),
incorporated in Virginia in 1983, is a one bank holding company
under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 that has elected to
become a financial holding company. The Company owns 100% of the
outstanding stock of its banking subsidiary, Farmers &
Merchants Bank (“Bank”) and a majority interest in
VSTitle, LLC (“VST”). TEB Life Insurance Company
(“TEB”) and Farmers & Merchants Financial Services,
Inc. (“FMFS”) are wholly owned subsidiaries of the
Bank. The Bank also holds a majority ownership in VBS Mortgage, LLC
( “F&M Mortgage”).
The
Bank was chartered on April 15, 1908, as a state chartered bank
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. TEB was
incorporated on January 27, 1988, as a captive life insurance
company under the laws of the State of Arizona. FMFS is a Virginia
chartered corporation and was incorporated on February 25, 1993.
F&M Mortgage was incorporated on May 11, 1999. The Bank
purchased a majority interest in F&M Mortgage on November 3,
2008 and the Company purchased a majority interest in VST on
January 1, 2017. F&M Mortgage owns the remaining minority
interest in VST.
As a
commercial bank, the Bank offers a wide range of banking services
including commercial and individual demand and time deposit
accounts, commercial and individual loans, internet and mobile
banking, drive-in banking services, ATMs at all branch locations
and several off-site locations, as well as a courier service for
its commercial banking customers. TEB was organized to re-insure
credit life and accident and health insurance currently being sold
by the Bank in connection with its lending activities. FMFS was
organized to write title insurance but now provides brokerage
services, commercial and personal lines of insurance to customers
of the Bank. F&M Mortgage originates conventional and
government sponsored mortgages through their offices in
Harrisonburg, Woodstock and Fishersville. VST provides title
insurance and real estate settlement services through their offices
in Harrisonburg, Fishersville and Charlottesville,
Virginia.
The
Bank makes various types of commercial and consumer loans and has a
large portfolio of residential mortgages and indirect auto lending.
The local economy is relatively diverse with strong employment in
the agricultural, manufacturing, service and governmental
sectors.
The
Company’s and the Bank’s principal executive office is
located at 205 South Main Street, Timberville, Virginia 22853, and
its phone number is (540) 896-8941.
Filings
with the SEC
The
Company files annual, quarterly and other reports under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”). These reports are posted and are
available at no cost on the Company’s website,
www
.
FMBankVA.com
, as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Company files such documents with the SEC.
The Company’s filings are also available through the
SEC’s website at
www.sec.gov
.
Employees
On
December 31, 2019, the Bank had 173 full-time and part-time
employees, including executive officers, loan and other banking
officers, branch personnel, operations personnel and other support
personnel. None of the Company’s employees is represented by
a union or covered under a collective bargaining agreement.
Management of the Company considers their employee relations to be
excellent. No one employee devotes full-time services to F & M
Bank Corp.
Competition
The
Bank's offices face strong competition from numerous other
financial institutions. These other institutions include large
national and regional banks, other community banks, nationally
chartered savings banks, credit unions, consumer finance companies,
mortgage companies, loan production offices, marketplace lenders
and other financial technology firms, mutual funds and life
insurance companies. Competition for loans and deposits is affected
by a variety of factors including interest rates, types of products
offered, the number and location of branch offices, marketing
strategies and the reputation of the Bank within the communities
served.

Regulation
and Supervision
General.
The operations of the Company
and the Bank are subject to federal and state statutes, which apply
to bank holding companies, financial holding companies and state
member banks of the Federal Reserve System. The common stock of the
Company is registered pursuant to and subject to the periodic
reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
“Exchange Act”). These include, but are not limited to,
the filing of annual, quarterly, and other current reports with the
SEC. As an Exchange Act reporting company, the Company is directly
affected by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
(“Sarbanes-Oxley”). The Company believes it is in
compliance with SEC and other rules and regulations implemented
pursuant to Sarbanes-Oxley and intends to comply with any
applicable rules and regulations implemented in the
future.
The
Company, as a bank holding company and a financial holding company,
is subject to the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended (the "Act") and is supervised by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve
Board”). The Act requires the Company to secure the prior
approval of the Federal Reserve Board before the Company acquires
ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares or
substantially all of the assets of any institution, including
another bank.
As a
financial holding company, the Company is required to file with the
Federal Reserve Board an annual report and such additional
information as it may require pursuant to the Act. The Federal
Reserve Board may also conduct examinations of F & M Bank Corp.
and any or all of its subsidiaries. Under the Act and the
regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, a bank holding company
and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in
arrangements in connection with an extension of credit, pro-vision
of credit, sale or lease of property or furnishing of
services.
The
permitted activities of a bank holding company are limited to
managing or controlling banks, furnishing services to or performing
services for its subsidiaries, and engaging in other activities
that the Federal Reserve Board determines by regulation or order to
be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks
as to be a proper incident thereto. In addition, bank holding
companies that qualify and elect to be financial holding companies,
such as the Company, may engage in any activity, or acquire and
retain the shares of a company engaged in any activity, that is
either (i) financial in nature or incidental to such financial
activity (as determined by the Federal Reserve Board in
consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury) or (ii)
complementary to a financial activity and does not pose a
substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository
institutions or the financial system generally (as solely
determined by the Federal Reserve Board). Activities that are
financial in nature include but are not limited to securities
underwriting and dealing, insurance underwriting, and making
merchant banking investments. Since 1994, the Company has entered
into agreements with the Virginia Community Development Corporation
to purchase equity positions in several Low-Income Housing Funds;
these funds provide housing for low-income individuals throughout
Virginia. Approval of the Federal Reserve Board is necessary to
engage in certain of the activities described above or to acquire
interests engaging in these activities.
The
Bank as a state member bank is supervised and regularly examined by
the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal
Reserve Board; such supervision and examination by the Virginia
Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Board is
intended primarily for the protection of depositors and not the
stockholders of the Company.
Payment of Dividends.
The Company is a
legal entity, separate and distinct from its subsidiaries. A
significant portion of the revenues of the Company result from
dividends paid to it by the Bank. There are various legal
limitations applicable to the payment of dividends by the Bank to
the Company. Under the current regulatory guidelines, prior
approval from the Federal Reserve Board is required if cash
dividends declared in any given year exceed net income for that
year, plus retained net profits of the two preceding years. A bank
also may not declare a dividend out of or in excess of its net
undivided profits without regulatory approval. The payment of
dividends by the Bank or the Company may also be limited by other
factors, such as requirements to maintain capital above regulatory
guidelines.
Bank
regulatory agencies have the authority to prohibit the Bank or the
Company from engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice in
conducting their businesses. The payment of dividends, depending on
the financial condition of the Bank, or the Company, could be
deemed to constitute such an unsafe or unsound practice. Based on
the Bank’s current financial condition, the Company does not
expect that any of these laws will have any impact on its ability
to obtain dividends from the Bank.

PART

Item

Regulation
and Supervision, continued
The
Company also is subject to regulatory restrictions on payment of
dividends to its shareholders. Regulators have indicated that bank
holding companies should generally pay dividends only if the
organization’s net income available to common shareholders
over the past year has been sufficient to fully fund the dividends
and the prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent
with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality, and
overall financial condition. Further, a bank holding company should
inform and consult with the Federal Reserve Board prior to
declaring a dividend that exceeds earnings for the period (e.g.,
quarter) for which the dividend is being paid or that could result
in a material adverse change to the organization’s capital
structure.
Capital Requirements.
Effective January 1,
2015, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Company
(“FDIC”) and the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (“OCC”) adopted a new rule that substantially
amended the regulatory risk-based capital rules applicable to us.
The final rule implemented the "Basel III" regulatory capital
reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act (see definition
below). The final rule includes new minimum risk-based capital and
leverage ratios and refines the definition of what constitutes
"capital" for purposes of calculating these ratios. The minimum
capital requirements currently applicable to the Bank are:
(i) a new common equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital ratio of
4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 to risk-based assets capital ratio of
6%; (iii) a total capital ratio of 8%; and (iv) a
Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. The final rule established a
"capital conservation buffer" of 2.5% above the new regulatory
minimum capital ratios, and when fully effective on January 1,
2019, results in the following minimum ratios: (a) a common
equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%; (b) a Tier 1 to
risk-based assets capital ratio of 8.5%; and (c) a total
capital ratio of 10.5%. An institution will be subject to
limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and
paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the
buffer amount. These limitations will establish a maximum
percentage of eligible retained income that can be utilized for
such activities.
The
CETI and Tier 1 leverage ratio of the Bank as of December 31, 2019,
were 13.30% and 10.89%, respectively, which are significantly above
the minimum requirements. The guidelines also provide that banking
organizations experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions
will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially
above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance
on intangible assets.
In
December 2017, the Basel Committee published standards that it
described as the finalization of the Basel III post-crisis
regulatory reforms (the standards are commonly referred to as
“Basel IV”). Among other things, these standards revise
the Basel Committee’s standardized approach for credit risk
(including by recalibrating risk weights and introducing new
capital requirements for certain “unconditionally cancellable
commitments,” such as unused credit card lines of credit) and
provide a new standardized approach for operational risk capital.
Under the proposed framework, these standards will generally be
effective on January 1, 2022, with an aggregate output floor
phasing-in through January 1, 2027. Under the current capital
rules, operational risk capital requirements and a capital floor
apply only to advanced approaches institutions, and not to the
Company. The impact of Basel IV on the Company and the Bank will
depend on the manner in which it is implemented by the federal bank
regulatory agencies.
As
directed by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer
Protection Act (the “Economic Growth Act”), the federal
banking regulators in 2019 jointly issued a final rule that permits
qualifying banks that have less than $10 billion in total
consolidated assets to elect to be subject to a 9% “community
bank leverage ratio.” A qualifying bank that has chosen the
proposed framework would not be required to calculate the existing
risk-based and leverage capital requirements and would be
considered to have met the capital ratio requirements to be
“well capitalized” under prompt corrective action
rules, provided it has a community bank leverage ratio greater than
9%.
Pursuant to the
Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company and Savings and
Loan Holding Company Policy Statement, qualifying bank holding
companies with total consolidated assets of less than $3 billion,
such as the Company, are not subject to consolidated regulatory
capital requirements

Source of
Strength
. Federal Reserve
policy has historically required bank holding companies to act as a
source of financial and managerial strength to their subsidiary
banks. The Dodd-Frank Act codified this policy as a statutory
requirement. Under this requirement, the Company is expected to
commit resources to support the Bank, including at times when the
Company may not be in a financial position to provide such
resources. Any capital loans by a bank holding company to any of
its subsidiary banks are subordinate in right of payment to
depositors and to certain other indebtedness of such subsidiary
banks. In the event of a bank holding company's bankruptcy, any
commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory
agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank will be assumed
by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to priority of
payment.
Safety and
Soundness
. There are a number
of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding companies
and their subsidiary banks by law and regulatory policy that are
designed to minimize potential loss to the depositors of such
depository institutions and the FDIC insurance fund in the event of
a depository institution default. For example, under the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, to avoid
receivership of an insured depository institution subsidiary, a
bank holding company is required to guarantee the compliance of any
subsidiary bank that may become "undercapitalized" with the terms
of any capital restoration plan filed by such subsidiary with its
appropriate federal bank regulatory agency up to the lesser of (i)
an amount equal to 5% of the institution's total assets at the time
the institution became undercapitalized or (ii) the amount that is
necessary (or would have been necessary) to bring the institution
into compliance with all applicable capital standards as of the
time the institution fails to comply with such capital restoration
plan. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the federal bank
regulatory agencies have adopted guidelines prescribing safety and
soundness standards. These guidelines establish general standards
relating to internal controls and information systems, internal
audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest
rate exposure, asset growth and compensation, fees and benefits. In
general, the guidelines require, among other things, appropriate
systems and practices to identify and manage the risk and exposures
specified in the guidelines.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
The
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”) allows a bank
holding company or other company to certify status as a financial
holding company, which will allow such company to engage in
activities that are financial in nature, that are incidental to
such activities, or are complementary to such activities. The GLB
Act enumerates certain activities that are deemed financial in
nature, such as underwriting insurance or acting as an insurance
principal, agent or broker; dealing in or making markets in
securities; and engaging in merchant banking under certain
restrictions. It also authorizes the Federal Reserve to determine
by regulation what other activities are financial in nature, or
incidental or complementary thereto.
USA Patriot Act of 2001.
In October
2001, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 was enacted in response to the
terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Northern Virginia
which occurred on September 11, 2001. The Patriot Act is intended
to strengthen U.S. law enforcements’ and the intelligence
communities’ abilities to work cohesively to combat terrorism
on a variety of fronts. The continuing and potential impact of the
Patriot Act and related regulations and policies on financial
institutions of all kinds is significant and wide ranging. The
Patriot Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial
transparency laws, and imposes various regulations, including
standards for verifying client identification at account opening,
and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions,
regulators and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that
may be involved in terrorism or money laundering.
Community Reinvestment Act.
The requirements of
the Community Reinvestment Act are also applicable to the Bank. The
act imposes on financial institutions an affirmative and ongoing
obligation to meet the credit needs of their local communities,
including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with
the safe and sound operation of those institutions. A financial
institution’s efforts in meeting community needs currently
are evaluated as part of the examination process pursuant to twelve
assessment factors. These factors are also considered in evaluating
mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or
facility.

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act.
The Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law on
July 21, 2010. Its wide-ranging provisions affect all federal
financial regulatory agencies and nearly every aspect of the
American financial services industry. Among the provisions of the
Dodd-Frank Act that directly impact the Company is the creation of
an independent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(“CFPB”), which has the ability to implement, examine
and enforce complaints with federal consumer protection laws, which
govern all financial institutions. For smaller financial
institutions, such as the Company and the Bank, their primary
regulators will continue to conduct its examination
activities.
The
Dodd-Frank Act contains provisions designed to reform mortgage
lending, which includes the requirement of additional disclosures
for consumer mortgages. In addition, the Federal Reserve has issued
new rules that have the effect of limiting the fees charged to
merchants for debit card transactions. The result of these rules
will be to limit the amount of interchange fee income available
explicitly to larger banks and indirectly to us. The Dodd-Frank Act
also contains provisions that affect corporate governance and
executive compensation.
In May
2018, the Economic Growth Act was enacted to modify or remove
certain regulatory financial reform rules and regulations,
including some of those implemented under the Dodd-Frank Act. While
the Economic Growth Act maintains most of the regulatory structure
established by the Dodd-Frank Act, it amends certain aspects of the
regulatory framework for small depository institutions with assets
of less than $10 billion, such as the Bank, and for large banks
with assets of more than $50 billion.
Among
other matters, the Economic Growth Act expands the definition of
qualified mortgages which may be held by a financial institution
with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion, exempts
community banks from the Volcker Rule, and includes additional
regulatory relief regarding regulatory examination cycles, call
reports, mortgage disclosures and risk weights for certain
high-risk commercial real estate loans.
Consumer Financial Protection.
The Bank
is subject to a number of federal and state consumer protection
laws that extensively govern its relationship with its customers.
These laws include the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair
Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in
Savings Act, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds
Availability Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Fair
Housing Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Fair
Debt Collection Practices Act, the Service Members Civil Relief
Act, laws governing flood insurance, federal and state laws
prohibiting unfair and deceptive business practices, foreclosure
laws, and various regulations that implement some or all of the
foregoing. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure
requirements and regulate the manner in which financial
institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits, making
loans,collecting loans and providing other services. If the Bank
fails to comply with these laws and regulations, it may be subject
to various penalties. Failure to comply with consumer protection
requirements may also result in failure to obtain any required bank
regulatory approval for merger or acquisition transactions the
Company may wish to pursue or being prohibited from engaging in
such transactions even if approval is not required.
Cybersecurity
. The federal banking
agencies have adopted guidelines for establishing information
security standards and cybersecurity programs for implementing
safeguards under the supervision of a financial institution’s
board of directors. These guidelines, along with related regulatory
materials, increasingly focus on risk management and processes
related to information technology and the use of third parties in
the provision of financial products and services. The federal
banking agencies expect financial institutions to establish lines
of defense and ensure that their riskmanagement processes also
address the risk posed by compromised customer credentials, and
also expect financial institutions to maintain sufficient business
continuity planning processes to ensure rapid recovery, resumption
and maintenance of the institution’s operations after a
cyber-attack. If the Bank fails to meet the expectations set forth
in this regulatory guidance, it could be subject to various
regulatory actions and any remediation efforts may require
significant resources of the Bank. In addition, all federal and
state bank regulatory agencies continue to increase focus on
cybersecurity programs and risks as part of regular supervisory
exams.

Future Legislation and Regulation.
Congress may enact legislation from time to time that affects the
regulation of the financial services industry, and state
legislatures may enact legislation from time to time affecting the
regulation of financial institutions chartered by or operating in
those states. Federal and state regulatory agencies also
periodically propose and adopt changes to their regulations or
change the manner in which existing regulations are applied. The
substance or impact of pending or future legislation or regulation,
or the application thereof, cannot be predicted, although enactment
of the proposed legislation could impact the regulatory structure
under which the Company and the Bank operate and may significantly
increase costs, impede the efficiency of internal business
processes, require an increase in regulatory capital, require
modifications to business strategy, and limit the ability to pursue
business opportunities in an efficient manner. A change in
statutes, regulations or regulatory policies applicable to the
Company or the Bank could have a material adverse effect on the
business, financial condition and results of operations of the
Company and the Bank.

components of the results of operations and financial condition,
liquidity and capital resources of F & M Bank Corp. and its

Lending Activities
Credit
Policies
The
principal risk associated with each of the categories of loans in
our portfolio is the creditworthiness of our borrowers. Within each
category, such risk is increased or decreased, depending on
prevailing economic conditions. In an effort to manage the risk,
our loan policy gives loan amount approval limits to individual
loan officers based on their position and level of experience and
to our loan committees based on the size of the lending
relationship. The risk associated with real estate and construction
loans, commercial loans and consumer loans varies, based on market
employment levels, consumer confidence, fluctuations in the value
of real estate and other conditions that affect the ability of
borrowers to repay indebtedness. The risk associated with real
estate construction loans varies, based on the supply and demand
for the type of real estate under construction.
We have
written policies and procedures to help manage credit risk. We have
a loan review policy that includes regular portfolio reviews to
establish loss exposure and to ascertain compliance with our loan
policy.
We use
a management loan committee and a directors’ loan committee
to approve loans. The management loan committee is comprised of
members of senior management, and the directors’ loan
committee is comprised of any six directors. Both committees
approve new, renewed and or modified loans that exceed officer loan
authorities. The directors’ loan committee also reviews any
changes to our lending policies, which are then approved by our
board of directors.
Construction
and Development Lending
We make
construction loans, primarily residential, and land acquisition and
development loans. The construction loans are secured by
residential houses under construction and the underlying land for
which the loan was obtained. The average life of a construction
loan is approximately 12 months, and it is typically re-priced as
the prime rate of interest changes. Construction lending entails
significant additional risks, compared with residential mortgage
lending. Construction loans often involve larger loan balances
concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers.
Another risk involved in construction lending is attributable to
the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the security of the land
or home under construction, which value is estimated prior to the
completion of construction. Thus, it is more difficult to evaluate
accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project and
related loan-to-value ratios. To mitigate the risks associated with
construction lending, we generally limit loan amounts to 75% to 90%
of appraised value, in addition to analyzing the creditworthiness
of our borrowers. We also obtain a first lien on the property as
security for our construction loans and typically require personal
guarantees from the borrower’s principal owners.

PART

7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (dollars in thousands),
Continued
Commercial
Real Estate Lending
Commercial real
estate loans are secured by various types of commercial real estate
in our market area, including multi-family residential buildings,
commercial buildings and offices, shopping centers and churches.
Commercial real estate lending entails significant additional
risks, compared with residential mortgage lending. Commercial real
estate loans typically involve larger loan balances concentrated
with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Additionally,
the payment experience on loans secured by income producing
properties is typically dependent on the successful operation of a
business or a real estate project and thus may be subject, to a
greater extent, to adverse conditions in the real estate market or
in the economy in general. Our commercial real estate loan
underwriting criteria require an examination of debt service
coverage ratios and the borrower’s creditworthiness, prior
credit history and reputation. We also evaluate the location of the
property securing the loan and typically require personal
guarantees or endorsements of the borrower’s principal
owners.
Business
Lending
Business loans
generally have a higher degree of risk than residential mortgage
loans but have higher yields. To manage these risks, we generally
obtain appropriate collateral and personal guarantees from the
borrower’s principal owners and monitor the financial
condition of our business borrowers. Residential mortgage loans
generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to
make repayment from employment and other income and are secured by
real estate whose value tends to be readily ascertainable. In
contrast, business loans typically are made on the basis of the
borrower’s ability to make repayment from cash flow from its
business and are secured by business assets, such as real estate,
accounts receivable, equipment and inventory. As a result, the
availability of funds for the repayment of business loans is
substantially dependent on the success of the business itself.
Furthermore, the collateral for business loans may depreciate over
time and generally cannot be appraised with as much precision as
residential real estate.
Consumer
Lending
We
offer various consumer loans, including personal loans and lines of
credit, automobile loans, deposit account loans, installment and
demand loans, and home equity loans and lines of credit. Such loans
are generally made to clients with whom we have a pre-existing
relationship. We currently originate all of our consumer loans in
our geographic market area.
The
underwriting standards employed by us for consumer loans include a
determination of the applicant’s payment history on other
debts and an assessment of their ability to meet existing
obligations and payments on the proposed loan. The stability of the
applicant’s monthly income may be determined by verification
of gross monthly income from primary employment and additionally
from any verifiable secondary income. Although creditworthiness of
the applicant is of primary consideration, the underwriting process
also includes an analysis of the value of the security in relation
to the proposed loan amount. For home equity lines of credit and
loans we require title insurance, hazard insurance and, if
required, flood insurance.
Residential
Mortgage Lending
The
Bank makes residential mortgage loans for the purchase or refinance
of existing loans with loan to value limits ranging between 80 and
90% depending on the age of the property, borrower’s income
and credit worthiness. Loans that are retained in our portfolio
generally carry adjustable rates that can change every three to
five years, based on amortization periods of twenty to thirty
years.

Loans
Held for Sale
The
Bank makes fixed rate mortgage loans with terms of typically
fifteen or thirty years through its subsidiary F&M Mortgage.
These loans are funded by F&M Mortgage utilizing a line of
credit at the Bank until sold to investors in the secondary market.
Similarly, the Bank also has a relationship with Northpointe Bank
in Grand Rapids, MI whereby it purchases fixed rate conforming 1-4
family mortgage loans for short periods of time pending those loans
being sold to investors in the secondary market. These loans have
an average duration of ten days to two weeks, but occasionally
remain on the Bank’s books for up to 60 days. The Bank began
its relationship with Northpointe Bank in 2014 and had a similar
program with a prior bank since 2003. This relationship allows the
Bank to achieve a higher rate of return than is available on other
short term investment opportunities.
Dealer
Finance Division
In
September 2012, the Bank started a loan production office in Penn
Laird, VA which specializes in providing automobile financing
through a network of automobile dealers. The Dealer Finance
Division was originally staffed with three officers that have
extensive experience in Dealer Finance. Based on the strong growth
of this division the staff has been increased to six employees.
This office is serving the automobile finance needs for customers
of dealers throughout the existing geographic footprint of the
Bank. Approximately fifty dealers have signed contracts to
originate loans on behalf of the Bank. As of year end 2019, the
division had total loans outstanding of $78,976.
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 the 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. The
Company’s financial position and results of operations are
affected by management’s application of accounting policies,
including estimates, assumptions and 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/or results of operations.
In
addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable
method to another method. Although the economics of these
transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would
impact these transactions could change. Following is a summary of
the Company’s significant accounting policies that are highly
dependent on estimates, assumptions and judgments.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of
the losses that may be sustained in the loan portfolio. The
allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) ASC
450 “Contingencies”
,
which requires that losses be accrued when they
are probable of occurring and estimable and (ii) ASC 310
,
“Receivables”
,
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. The Company’s allowance for loan losses is the
accumulation of various components that are calculated based on
independent methodologies. All components of the allowance
represent an estimation performed pursuant to either ASC 450 or ASC
310. Management’s estimate of each ASC 450 component is based
on certain observable data that management believes are most
reflective of the underlying credit losses being estimated. This
evaluation includes credit quality trends; collateral values; loan
volumes; geographic, borrower and industry concentrations;
seasoning of the dealer loan portfolio; the findings of internal
credit quality assessments, results from external bank regulatory
examinations and third-party loan reviewer. These factors, as well
as historical losses and current economic and business conditions,
are used in developing estimated loss factors used in the
calculations.

PART

7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial

continued
Allowance for Loan Losses, continued
Allowances for loan
losses are determined by applying estimated loss factors to the
portfolio based on management’s evaluation and “risk
grading” of the loan portfolio. Specific allowances, if
required are typically provided on all impaired loans in excess of
a defined loan size threshold that are classified in the
Substandard, Watch or Doubtful risk grades and on all troubled debt
restructurings. The specific reserves are determined on a
loan-by-loan basis based on management’s evaluation of the
Company’s exposure for each credit, given the current payment
status of the loan and the value of any underlying
collateral.
While
management uses the best information available to establish the
allowance for loan and lease losses, future adjustments to the
allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ
substantially from the assumptions used in making the valuations
or, if required by regulators, based upon information available to
them at the time of their examinations. Such adjustments to
original estimates, as necessary, are made in the period in which
these factors and other relevant considerations indicate that loss
levels may vary from previous estimates.

PART

Fair
Value
The
estimate of fair value involves the use of (1) quoted prices for
identical instruments traded in active markets, (2) quoted prices
for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for
identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active,
and model-based valuation techniques using significant assumptions
that
are observable in the market or
(3) model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not
observable in the market. When observable market prices and
parameters are not fully available, management’s judgment is
necessary to arrive at fair value including estimates of current
market participant expectations of future cash flows, risk
premiums, among other things. Additionally, significant judgment
may be required to determine whether certain assets measured at
fair value are classified within the fair value hierarchy as Level
2 or Level 3. The estimation process and the potential materiality
of the amounts involved result in this item being identified as
critical.
Pension
Plan Accounting
The
accounting guidance for the measurement and recognition of
obligations and expense related to pension plans generally applies
the concept that the cost of benefits provided during retirement
should be recognized over the employees’ active working life.
Inherent in this concept is the requirement to use various
actuarial assumptions to predict and measure costs and obligations
many years prior to the settlement date. Major actuarial
assumptions that require significant management judgment and have a
material impact on the measurement of benefits expense and
accumulated benefit obligation include discount rates, expected
return on assets, mortality rates, and projected salary increases,
among others. Changes in assumptions or judgments related to any of
these variables could result in significant volatility in the
Company’s financial condition and results of operations. As a
result, accounting for the Company’s pension expense and
obligation is considered a significant estimate. The estimation
process and the potential materiality of the amounts involved
result in this item being identified as critical.
Other
Real Estate Owned (OREO)
OREO is
held for sale and represents real estate acquired through or in
lieu of foreclosure. OREO is initially recorded at fair value less
costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.
Physical possession of residential real estate property
collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan occurs when legal title is
obtained upon completion of foreclosure or when the borrower
conveys all interest in the property to satisfy the loan through
completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar
legal agreement. The Company’s policy is to carry OREO on its
balance sheet at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated
costs to sell. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a
valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating costs
after acquisition are expensed.

Net
Interest Income
The
largest source of operating revenue for the Company is net interest
income, which is calculated as the difference between the interest
earned on earning assets and the interest expense paid on interest
bearing liabilities. Net interest income decreased 0.49% from 2018
to 2019 following an increase of 5.78% from 2017 to 2018. The net
interest margin is the net interest income expressed as a
percentage of interest earning assets. Changes in the volume and
mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities,
along with their yields and rates, have a significant impact on the
level of net interest income. Tax equivalent net interest income
for 2019 was $31,466 representing a decrease of $160 or 0.51% over
the prior year. A 3.24% increase in 2018 versus 2017 resulted in
total tax equivalent net interest income of $31,626.
In this
discussion and in the tabular analysis of net interest income
performance, entitled “Consolidated Average Balances, Yields
and Rates,” the interest earned on tax exempt loans and
investment securities has been adjusted to reflect the amount that
would have been earned had these investments been subject to normal
income taxation. This is referred to as tax equivalent net interest
income. For a reconciliation of tax equivalent net interest income
to GAAP measures, see the following table.
Tax
equivalent income on earning assets increased $1,826 in 2019
compared to 2018. Loans held for investment, expressed as a
percentage of total earning assets, decreased in 2019 to 87.41% as
compared to 92.72% in 2018. During 2019, yields on earning assets
decreased 3 basis points (BP), primarily due to changes in the
earning asset categories, specifically an increase in loans held
for sale, federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits, while
loans held for investment decreased. The average cost of interest
bearing liabilities increased 28BP in 2019, following an increase
of 19BP in 2018. The increase in 2019 is due to increased cost of
deposits and growth in interest bearing deposits, as well as
increased cost of borrowings from FHLB.

Tax
equivalent interest income decreased $160 or 0.51% in 2019, after
increasing 4.23% or $1,284 in 2018. Overall, the yield on earning
assets decreased 0.03%, from 5.30% to 5.27%. Average loans held for
investment declined during 2019, with average loans outstanding
decreasing $2,318 to $635,110. Average real estate loans decreased
4.17%, commercial loans decreased 1.62% and consumer installment
loans increased 14.28% on average. The increase in average consumer
loans is a result of the growth in our Dealer Finance Division
despite the fourth quarter sale of a portion of the dealer
portfolio. The decrease in tax equivalent net interest income is
due primarily to the increase in deposit cost related to the 8.30%
growth in average interest bearing deposits.
Interest
Expense
Interest expense
increased $1,986 or 41.10% during 2019. The average cost of funds
of 1.30% increased 28BP compared to 2018, which followed an
increase of 19BP in 2018. Average interest bearing liabilities
increased $47,683 or 10.02% in 2019. Changes in the cost of funds
attributable to rate and volume variances are in a following
table.
The
analysis on the next page reveals a decrease in the net interest
margin to 4.33% in 2019 from 4.60% in 2018, primarily due to
changes in balance sheet mix during the year and rising costs of
interest bearing deposits and borrowings.

Note:
Volume changes have been
determined by multiplying the prior years’ average rate by
the change in average balances outstanding. The rate change is
determined by multiplying the current year average balance
outstanding by the change in rate from the prior year to the
current year.
Noninterest
Income
Noninterest income
continues to be an increasingly important factor in maintaining and
growing profitability. Management is conscious of the need to
constantly review fee income and develop additional sources of
complementary revenue.
Noninterest income
increased 23.95% or $1,917, in 2019. Included in 2019 was a onetime
gain on the sale of a portion of the dealer portfolio of $618. The
2019 increase, net of the gain on the dealer portfolio, is due to
growth in the gross revenue of VST Title, F & M Financial

Noninterest
Expense
Noninterest
expenses increased from $26,744 in 2018 to $29,518 in 2019, a
10.37% increase. Salary and benefits increased 4.99% to $17,151 in
2019. This increase was the result of normal salary increases,
pension settlement costs and severance packages expensed during the
year. Other real estate owned, net increased $548 due to an
increased effort to dispose of properties. Other areas of increase
include data processing, legal and professional and other operating
expenses. Total noninterest expense as a percentage of average
assets totaled 3.70% and 3.49% in 2019 and 2018, respectively. Peer
group averages (as reported in the most recent Uniform Bank
Performance Report) were 2.81% for 2019 and 2018.
Provision
for Loan Losses
Management
evaluates the loan portfolio in light of national and local
economic trends, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio
and industry standards. Specific factors considered by management
in determining the adequacy of the level of the allowance for loan
losses include internally generated and third-party loan review
reports, past due reports and historical loan loss experience. This
review also considers concentrations of loans in terms of
geography, business type and level of risk. Management evaluates
nonperforming loans relative to their collateral value, when deemed
collateral dependent, and makes the appropriate adjustments to the
allowance for loan losses when needed. Based on the factors
outlined above, the current year provision for loan losses totaled
$7,405 compared to $2,930 for 2018. The current levels of the
allowance for loan losses reflect increased net charge-off activity
and other credit risk factors that the Company considers in
assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. During
2019, management has made a tremendous effort to lower
nonperforming loans, including through charge-off of loan balances
after disposal. As a result nonperforming loans decreased from
1.60% of loans held for investment at December 31, 2018 to 0.94% at
December 31, 2019. There has been an increase in substandard loans
during 2019 and that along with loan review results have increased
the allowance for loan losses despite the improvements in
nonperforming loans. Management will continue to monitor
nonperforming, adversely classified and past due loans and will
make necessary adjustments to specific reserves and provision for
loan losses should conditions change regarding collateral values or
cash flow expectations.
Net
loan charge-offs were $4,255 in 2019 and $3,734 in 2018. The
increase reflects management’s efforts or reduce
nonperforming loans throughout 2019. Net charge-offs as a
percentage of loans held for investment totaled 0.71% and 0.58% in
2019 and 2018, respectively. The construction and development
charge-off percentage is the largest category at 0.38% of loans
held for investment and dealer finance was 0.16%. As stated in the
most recently available Uniform Bank Performance Report (UPBR),
peer group loss averages were 0.09% in 2019 and 0.08% in 2018. The
Bank anticipates losses will remain above peer due to the Dealer
Finance Division, however losses in this segment have been in line
with expectations and are closely monitored.
Balance
Sheet
Total
assets increased 4.39% during the year to $813,999, an increase of
$34,256 from $779,743 in 2018. Cash and cash equivalents increased
$64,892, Net loans held for investment declined $38,524, Loans held
for sale increased $10,888, and other asset categories experienced
modest fluctuations. Average earning assets increased 5.68% to
$726,586 at December 31, 2019. The increase in earning assets is
due largely to the growth in the loans held for sale, which is the
short-term loan participation program with Northpointe Bank and the
growth in federal funds sold as a result of deposit growth.
Deposits grew $50,384 and other liabilities decreased $16,302 in
2019. Average interest bearing deposits increased $34,149 for 2019
or 8.30%, with increases in interest-bearing demand accounts and
savings while time deposits declined. The Company continues to
utilize 34,149 of its assets well, with 8.30% of average assets
consisting of earning assets.

bearing low credit risk. Portfolio yields averaged 3.69% for 2019,
up from 3.32% in 2018.

Analysis
of Loan Portfolio
The
Company’s market area has a relatively stable economy which
tends to be less cyclical than the national economy. Major
industries in the market area include agricultural production and
processing, higher education, retail sales, services and light
manufacturing.
The
Company’s portfolio of loans held for investment totaled
$603,425 at December 31, 2019 compared with $638,799 at December
31, 2018. Collateral required by the Company is determined on an
individual basis depending on the purpose of the loan and the
financial condition of the borrower. Real estate mortgages
decreased $20,950 or 8.17%. Construction loans increased $15,472 or
25.09%. Commercial loans, including agricultural and multifamily
loans, decreased 5.52% during 2019 to $198,467. The Bank also has
loan participation arrangements with several other banks within the
region to aid in diversification of the loan portfolio
geographically, by collateral type and by borrower.
Consumer loans
decreased $18,320 or 17.08% mainly due to the sale of a portion of
the dealer finance division loans, resulting in a December 31, 2019
balance in this portfolio of $78,976. A gain of $618 thousand was
recognized on the sale. Consumer loans include personal loans, auto
loans and other loans to individuals. Credit card balances
decreased $62 to $3,122 but are a minor component of the loan
portfolio. The following table presents the changes in the loan
portfolio over the previous five years categorized in business
segments, rather than regulatory call report as in
footnote.

Continued
Analysis
of Loan Portfolio, continued
Residential real
estate loans are made for a period up to 30 years and are secured
by a first deed of trust which normally does not exceed 90% of the
appraised value. If the loan to value ratio exceeds 90%, the
Company requires additional collateral, guarantees or mortgage
insurance. On approximately 88% of the real estate loans, interest
is adjustable after each one, three or five-year period. The
remainder of the portfolio is comprised of fixed rate loans that
are generally made for a fifteen-year or a twenty-year period with
an interest rate adjustment after ten years.
Fixed
rate real estate loans have been partially funded with fixed rate
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, which allows the
Company to control its interest rate risk. In addition, the Company
makes home equity loans secured by second deeds of trust with total
indebtedness not to exceed 90% of the appraised value. Home equity
loans are made for three, five or ten year periods at a fixed rate
or as a revolving line of credit.
Construction loans
may be made to individuals, who have arranged with a contractor for
the construction of a residence, or to contractors that are
involved in building pre-sold, spec-homes or subdivisions. The
majority of commercial loans are made to small retail,
manufacturing and service businesses. Consumer loans are made for a
variety of reasons; however, approximately 74% of the loans are
secured by automobiles and trucks.
Approximately 79%
of the Company’s loans are secured by real estate; however,
policies relating to appraisals and loan to value ratios are
adequate to control the related risk. Market values continue to be
stable with increases in sales prices, reduction in inventory and
reduction in days on the market. Unemployment rates in the
Company’s market area continue to be below both the national
and state averages.
The
Bank has not identified any loan categories that would be
considered loan concentrations of greater than 25% of capital.
While the Bank has not developed a formal policy limiting the
concentration level of any particular loan type or industry
segment, it has established target limits on both a nominal and
percentage of capital basis. Concentrations are monitored and
reported to the board of directors quarterly. Concentration levels
have been used by management to determine how aggressively we may
price or pursue new loan requests.
Nonaccrual
and Past Due Loans
Nonperforming loans
include nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due still
accruing. Nonaccrual loans are loans on which interest accruals
have been suspended or discontinued permanently. The Company would
have earned approximately $531 in additional interest income in
2019 had the loans on nonaccrual status been current and
performing. Nonperforming loans totaled $5,729 at December 31, 2019
compared to $10,205 at December 31, 2018. At December 31,
2019, there were $722 of loans 90 days or more past due and
accruing. Nonperforming loans have decreased approximately $4,476
since December 31, 2018. Management has made a concerted effort to
reduce nonperforming loans during 2019, some of this is reflected
in the growth in charge-offs during the year.
Approximately 91%
of these nonperforming loans are secured by real estate and were in
the process of collection. The Bank believes that it is generally
well secured or specific reserves have been established and
continues to actively work with its customers to effect payment. As
of December 31, 2019, the Company holds $1,489 of real estate which
was acquired through foreclosure.

Loan
Losses and the Allowance for Loan Losses
In
evaluating the portfolio, loans are segregated into loans with
identified potential losses, pools of loans by type, with separate
weighting for past dues and adverse rated loans, and a general
allowance based on a variety of criteria. Loans with
identified potential losses include examiner and bank classified
loans. Classified relationships in excess of $500 and loans
identified as troubled debt restructurings are reviewed
individually for impairment under ASC 310. A variety of factors are
considered when reviewing these credits, including borrower cash
flow, payment history, fair value of collateral, company
management, industry and economic factors.
A
general allowance for inherent losses has been established to
reflect other unidentified losses within the portfolio. The general
allowance is calculated using nine qualitative factors identified
in the 2006 Interagency Policy Statement on the allowance for loan
losses. The general allowance assists in managing recent
changes in portfolio risk that may not be captured in individually
impaired loans, or in the homogeneous pools based on loss
histories. The Board reviews the allowance for loan loss
calculation and approves the loan loss provision for each quarter
based on this evaluation.
The
allowance for loan losses of $8,390 at December 31, 2019 is equal
to 1.39% of total loans held for investment. This compares to an
allowance of $5,240 or .82% of total loans at December 31, 2018.
Nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2019 totaled $5,007 compared to
$9,405 at December 31, 2018; however, the decline in nonaccrual
loans is primarily attributable to one large commercial
relationship of approximately $4.3 million as of December 31, 2018
that was taken out of the bank during the third quarter 2019.
Absent this one large relationship, nonaccrual loans at December
31, 2019 remained relatively consistent with December 31, 2018. In
addition, classified loans (internally rated substandard or watch)
increased significantly from a total of $23.0 million at December
31, 2018 to $38.5 million at December 31, 2019, or 67.47%. Recent
external loan reviews have resulted in several downgrades in
internal risk ratings, policy underwriting exceptions have
increased, and Management has become more aggressive in loan
workouts and charging off loans. Enhancements to the credit culture
of the Company that Management feels will greatly improve the
Company’s ability to monitor and identify problem credits
have been put in place. Past due and adversely risk rated loans
that are not considered impaired have historically received higher
allocation factors within the Company’s allowance for loan
losses calculation. However, with the large increase in classified
loans during the third quarter of 2019, Management increased the
qualitative factors to reflect the risk of rising classified loans
and underwriting exceptions. Also, during the second quarter of
2019, Management changed the lookback period for calculating the
allowance for loan losses from five years to two years as a shorter
lookback period is considered more indicative of the risk remaining
in the loan portfolio given the increased charge-offs
experienced.
The change in the lookback period resulted in an
increase of $1,098 in the allowance for loan losses from December
31, 2018 and increases in qualitative factor adjustments described
above regarding the level of underwriting exceptions and classified
loans resulted in a $1,932 increase in the allowance for loan
losses from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019. The level of
specific reserves included in the allowance for loan losses was
approximately $1.8 million at December 31, 2019 and $1.6 million at
December 31, 2018. As a result of management’s analysis and
change in the allowance methodology to reduce the historical
lookback period, the Company recorded a $7,405 provision for loan
losses for 2019 compared to $2,930 for 2018. Management will
continue to monitor nonperforming, adversely classified and past
due loans and will make necessary adjustments to specific reserves
and provision for loan losses should conditions change regarding
collateral values or cash flow expectations.
Loan
losses, net of recoveries, totaled $4,255 in 2019 which is
equivalent to .71% of total loans outstanding

Non-deposit
borrowings include federal funds purchased, Federal Home Loan Bank
(FHLB) borrowings, (both short term and long term), a note to
purchase real estate and VST debt. Non-deposit borrowings are an
important source of funding for the Bank. These sources assist in
managing short and long-term funding needs, often at rates that are
more favorable than raising additional funds within the deposit
portfolio.
Borrowings from the
FHLB are used to support the Bank’s lending program and allow
the Bank to manage interest rate risk by laddering maturities and
matching funding terms to the terms of various loan types in the
loan portfolio. The Company borrowed an additional $30,000 in 2019
and had no additional long-term borrowings in 2018. Repayment of
amortizing and fixed maturity loans through FHLB totaled $17,017
during 2019. These long-term loans carry an average rate of 1.82%
at December 31, 2019.

Stockholders’
Equity
Total
stockholders' equity increased $174 or 0.19% in 2019. Capital was
increased by net income totaling $4,509, net of noncontrolling
interest of $130, issuance of common stock totaled $259, pension
adjustment of $671 and unrealized gains on available for sale
securities of $87. Capital was reduced by common and preferred
dividends totaling $3,587, repurchases of common stock of $1,798,
repurchase of preferred stock $42, minority interest distributions
of $55. As of December 31, 2019, book value per common share
was $27.11 compared to $26.68 as of December 31, 2018. Dividends
are paid to stockholders on a quarterly basis in uniform amounts
unless unexpected fluctuations in net income indicate a change to
this policy is needed.
Banking
regulators have established a uniform system to address the
adequacy of capital for financial institutions. The rules require
minimum capital levels based on risk-adjusted assets. Simply
stated, the riskier an entity's investments, the more capital it is
required to maintain. The Bank is required to maintain these
minimum capital levels. Beginning in 2015, the Bank implemented the
Basel III capital requirements, which introduced the Common Equity
Tier I ratio in addition to the two previous capital guidelines of
Tier I capital (referred to as core capital) and Tier II capital
(referred to as supplementary capital). At December 31, 2019, the
Bank had Common Equity Tier I capital of 13.30%, Tier I risked
based capital of 13.30% and total risked based capital of 14.55% of
risk weighted assets. Regulatory minimums at this date were 4.5%,
6% and 8%, respectively. The Bank has maintained capital levels far
above the minimum requirements throughout the year. In the unlikely
event that such capital levels are not met, regulatory agencies are
empowered to require the Bank to raise additional capital and/or
reallocate present capital.
In
addition, the regulatory agencies have issued guidelines requiring
the maintenance of a capital leverage ratio. The leverage ratio is
computed by dividing Tier I capital by average total assets. The
regulators have established a minimum of 4% for this ratio but can
increase the minimum requirement based upon an institution's
overall financial condition. At December 31, 2019, the Bank
reported a leverage ratio of 10.89%. The Bank's leverage ratio was
also substantially above the minimum. The Bank also reported a
capital conservation buffer of 6.55% at December 31, 2019. The
capital conservation buffer is designed to strengthen an
institution’s financial resilience during economic cycles.
Financial institutions are required to maintain a minimum buffer as
required by the Basel III final rules in order to avoid
restrictions on capital distributions and other payments. The
capital conservations buffer was fully phased in on January 1, 2019
at 2.5%.

Continued
Market
Risk Management
Most of
the Company’s net income is dependent on the Bank’s net
interest income. Rapid changes in short-term interest rates may
lead to volatility in net interest income resulting in additional
interest rate risk to the extent that imbalances exist between the
maturities or repricing of interest bearing liabilities and
interest earning assets. The Company’s net interest margin
decreased .27% in 2019 following an increase of .07% in 2018. This
decrease is due to decreases in interest rates as well as changes
in balance sheet structure including a decrease in loans held for
investment and substantial deposit growth which led to excess funds
on hand. In 2019, the Federal Open Market Committee elected to
decrease the short-term rates target 100BP to 1.50 to
2.75%.
Net
interest income is also affected by changes in the mix of funding
that supports earning assets. For example, higher levels of
non-interest bearing demand deposits and leveraging earning assets
by funding with stockholder’s equity would result in greater
levels of net interest income than if most of the earning assets
were funded with higher cost interest-bearing liabilities, such as
certificates of deposit and borrowings.
Liquid
assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, federal funds
sold, interest bearing deposits and short term investments averaged
$43,358 for 2019. The Bank historically has had a stable core
deposit base and, therefore, does not have to rely on volatile
funding sources. Because of growth in the core deposit base, liquid
assets have grown over prior year. While this helps liquidity, the
higher priced deposits have had an effect on the net interest
margin. The Bank's membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank has
historically provided liquidity as the Bank borrows money that is
repaid over a five to ten-year period and uses the money to make
fixed rate loans. With excess funds provided by deposit growth,
FHLB borrowings will continue to mature without replacement. The
matching of the long-term receivables and liabilities helps the
Bank reduce its sensitivity to interest rate changes. The Company
reviews its interest rate gap periodically and makes adjustments as
needed. There are no off-balance sheet items that will impair
future liquidity.
The
following table depicts the Company’s interest rate
sensitivity, as measured by the repricing of its interest sensitive
assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2019. As the notes to the
table indicate, the data was based in part on assumptions as to
when certain assets or liabilities would mature or reprice. The
analysis indicates an asset sensitive one-year cumulative GAP
position of 17.16% of total earning assets, compared to 11.39% in
2018. Approximately 43.42% of rate sensitive assets and 36.37% of
rate sensitive liabilities are subject to repricing within one
year. Short term assets (less than one year) decreased $54,061
during the year, while total earning assets increased $37,887. The
increase is attributed to growth in federal fund sold due to
deposit growth. Short term deposits increased $29,655 and short
term borrowings decreased $22,701. Increases are due to growth in
core deposits primarily from a money market special and overall
growth in deposits. Short term borrowings decreased as advances
matured and were not renewed.

NATURE
OF OPERATIONS:
F &
M Bank Corp. (the “Company”), through its subsidiary
Farmers & Merchants Bank (the “Bank”), operates
under a charter issued by the Commonwealth of Virginia and provides
commercial banking services. As a state-chartered bank, the Bank is
subject to regulation by the Virginia Bureau of Financial
Institutions and the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank provides
services to customers located mainly in Rockingham, Shenandoah,
Page and Augusta Counties in Virginia. Services are provided at
fourteen branch offices and a Dealer Finance Division loan
production office. The Company offers insurance, mortgage lending,
title insurance and financial services through its subsidiaries,
TEB Life Insurance, Inc., Farmers & Merchants Financial
Services, Inc, F&M Mortgage, LLC and VSTitle, LLC.
NOTE

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The
accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its
subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles
and to accepted practice within the banking industry. The following
is a summary of the more significant policies:
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Farmers
& Merchants Bank, TEB Life Insurance Company, Farmers &
Merchants Financial Services, Inc., F&M Mortgage, LLC, (net of
noncontrolling interest) and VSTitle, LLC. Significant
inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
Use
of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial
Statements
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are
particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term
relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, fair
value, pension accounting and the valuation of foreclosed real
estate.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include cash on hand, money market funds whose
initial maturity is ninety days or less and Federal funds
sold.
Securities
Debt
securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at
amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability
to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as
available for sale when they might be sold before maturity.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, the
unrealized holding gains and losses are reported in other
comprehensive income, net of tax. Equity securities are carried at
fair value, with changes in fair value reported in net income.
Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are
carried at cost, minus impairment, in any, plus or minus changes
resulting from observable price changes in an orderly transaction
for the identical or a similar investment.
The
Company follows the accounting guidance related to recognition and
presentation of other-than-temporary impairment. The guidance
specifies that if (a) an entity does not have the intent to sell a
debt security prior to recovery and (b) it is more likely than not
that the entity will not have to sell the debt security prior to
recovery, the security would not be considered
other-than-temporarily impaired, unless there is a credit loss.
When criteria (a) and (b) are met, the entity will recognize the
credit component of other-than-temporary impairment of a debt
security in earnings and the remaining portion in other
comprehensive income.

December 31, 2019 and 2018
NOTE

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
Securities,
continued
For
held-to-maturity debt securities, the amount of
other-than-temporary impairment recorded in other comprehensive
income for the noncredit portion of a previous other-than-temporary
impairment is amortized prospectively over the remaining life of
the security on the basis of the timing of future estimated cash
flows of the security.
For
available-for-sale securities, when the Company has decided to sell
an impaired available-for-sale security and the Company does not
expect the fair value of the security to fully recover before the
expected time of sale, the security is deemed
other-than-temporarily impaired in the period in which the decision
to sell is made. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the
impairment is deemed other than temporary even if a decision to
sell has not been made. The Company had no other than temporary
impairment in 2019 or 2018.
Other
Investments
The
Company periodically invests in low income housing partnerships
whose primary benefit is the distribution of federal income tax
credits to partners. The Company recognizes these benefits and the
cost of the investments over the life of the partnership. In
addition, state and federal historic rehabilitation credits are
generated from some of the partnerships. Amortization of these
investments is prorated based on the amount of benefits received in
each year to the total estimated benefits over the life of the
projects.
Due to
the nature and restrictions placed on the Company's investment in
common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB") and
the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, these securities are
considered restricted and carried at cost.
Income
Taxes
Income
tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax
expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects
taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the
provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess
of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income
taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this
method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax
effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets
and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are
recognized in the period in which they occur.
Deferred income tax
expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities
between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more
likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax
position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term
more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent;
the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of
the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position
that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is
initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax
benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being
realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full
knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether
or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition
threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information
available at the reporting date and is subject to
management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred
tax asset will not be realized.
The
Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, on income taxes
as a component of income tax expense.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
Loans Held for Investment
The
Company, through its banking subsidiary, provides mortgage,
commercial, and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion
of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans,
particularly commercial and residential mortgages. The ability of
the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is largely
dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in
the Company’s market area.
Loans
that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off, generally are
reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balance adjusted for
the allowance for loan losses, and any unearned income.
Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.
The accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued at the
time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is
well-secured and in process of collection. Loans are
typically charged off when the loan is 120 days past due, unless
secured and in process of collection. Loans are placed on
nonaccrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection
of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
The
Company’s loans are grouped into eleven segments:
construction/land development, farmland, real estate, multi-family,
commercial real estate, home equity – closed end, home equity
– open end, commercial & industrial – non-real
estate, consumer, credit cards and dealer finance. Each segment is
subject to certain risks that influence the establishment of
pricing, loan structures, approval requirements, reserves, and
ongoing credit management. The Company does not segregate the
portfolio further.
Construction and
land development loans are subject to general risks from changing
commercial building and housing market trends and economic
conditions that may impact demand for completed properties and the
costs of completion. Completed properties that do not sell or
become leased within originally expected timeframes may impact the
borrower’s ability to service the debt. These risks are
measured by market-area unemployment rates, bankruptcy rates,
housing and commercial building market trends, and interest rates.
Risks specific to the borrower are also evaluated, including
previous repayment history, debt service ability, and current and
projected loan-to value ratios for the collateral.
Farmland loans are
loans secured by agricultural property. These loans are subject to
risks associated with the value of the underlying farmland and the
cash flows of the borrower’s farming operations.
Multifamily loans
are loans secured by multi-unit residential property. These loans
are subject to risks associated with the value of the underlying
property as well as the successful operation and management of the
property.
Real
estate loans are for consumer residential real estate where the
credit quality is subject to risks associated with the
borrower’s repayment ability and collateral value, measured
generally by analyzing local unemployment and bankruptcy trends,
and local housing market trends and interest rates. Risks specific
to a borrower are determined by previous repayment history,
loan-to-value ratios, and debt-to-income ratios.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
Loans Held for Investment, continued
The
commercial real estate segment includes loans secured by commercial
real estate occupied by the owner/borrower, and commercial real
estate leased to non-owners. Loans in the commercial real estate
segment are impacted by economic risks from changing commercial
real estate markets, rental markets for commercial buildings,
business bankruptcy rates, local unemployment rates and interest
rate trends that would impact the businesses housed by the
commercial real estate.
The
Company’s home-equity loan portfolios (closed end and open
end) carry risks associated with the creditworthiness of the
borrower and changes in loan-to-value ratios. The Company manages
these risks through policies and procedures such as limiting
loan-to-value at origination, experienced underwriting, and
requiring standards for appraisers.
Commercial and
industrial non-real estate loans are secured by collateral other
than real estate or are unsecured. Credit risk for commercial
non-real estate loans is subject to economic conditions, generally
monitored by local business bankruptcy trends, interest rates, and
borrower repayment ability and collateral value (if
secured).
Consumer non-real
estate includes non-dealer financed automobile loans and other
consumer loans. Certain consumer loans are unsecured, while
collateral is obtained for automobile loans and other consumer
loans. Credit risk stems primarily from the borrower’s
ability to repay. If the loan is secured, the Company analyzes
loan-to-value ratios. All consumer non-real estate loans are
analyzed for debt-to-income ratios and previous credit history, as
well as for general risks for the portfolio, including local
unemployment rates, personal bankruptcy rates and interest
rates.
Credit
card loan portfolios carry risks associated with the
creditworthiness of the borrower and changes in the economic
environment. The Company manages these risks through policies and
procedures such as experienced underwriting, maximum debt to income
ratios, and minimum borrower credit scores.
Dealer
finance lending generally carries certain risks associated with the
values of the collateral and borrower’s ability to repay the
loan. The Company focuses its dealer finance lending on used
vehicles where substantial depreciation has already occurred
thereby minimizing the risk of significant loss of collateral
values in the future.
Interest accrued
but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or
charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest
on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost recovery
method, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans
are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest
amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments
are reasonably assured.
A loan
is considered past due when a payment of principal or interest or
both is due but not paid. Management closely monitors past
due loans in timeframes of 30-59 days, 60-89 days, and 90 or more
days past due.
These
policies apply to all loan portfolio segments.
A loan
is considered impaired when, based on current information and
events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect
the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according
to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered
by management in determining impairment include payment status,
collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled
principal and interest payments when due. Loans that
experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls
generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the
significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a
case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the
circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the
length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's
prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation
to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on
a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by
either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted
at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market
price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent. Troubled debt restructurings are considered
impaired loans.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
Loans
Held for Sale
These
loans consist of fixed rate loans made through the Company’s
subsidiary, F&M Mortgage, and loans held for sale
participations with Northpointe Bank, Grand Rapids,
Michigan.
F&M
Mortgage originates conforming mortgage loans for sale in the
secondary market. These loans consist primarily of fixed-rate,
single-family residential mortgage loans which meet the
underwriting characteristics of the investors. F&M Mortgage
enters into mortgage loan commitments whereby the interest rate on
the loan is determined prior to funding (rate lock
commitments).
The
period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and sale of
the loan generally ranges from two to three weeks. F&M Mortgage
protects itself from changes in interest rates through the use of
best efforts forward delivery contracts, by committing to sell a
loan at the time the borrower commits to an interest rate with the
intent that the buyer has assumed the interest rate risk on the
loan. As a result, the Company is not generally exposed to
significant losses nor will it realize significant gains related to
its rate lock commitments due to changes in interest rates.
The correlation between the rate lock commitments and the best
efforts contracts is very high due to their similarity. The market
value of rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts is not
readily ascertainable with precision because rate lock commitments
and best efforts contracts are not actively traded in stand-alone
markets. F&M Mortgage determines the fair value of rate
lock commitments and best efforts contracts by measuring the change
in the estimated value of the underlying assets while taking into
consideration the probability that the loan will be funded. The
fair value of rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts was
considered immaterial at December 31, 2019 and 2018. These loans
are pre-sold with servicing released and no interest is retained
after the loans are sold. Because of the short holding period,
these loans are carried at the lower of cost or market and no
market adjustments were deemed necessary in 2019 or 2018. Gains on
sales of loans and commission expense are recognized at the loan
closing date and are included in insurance, other commissions and
mortgage banking income, net on the Company’s consolidated
income statement. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was $2,975
and $3,544, respectively, of these loans included in loans held for
sale on the Company’s consolidated balance
sheet.
The
Bank participates in a Mortgage Purchase Program with Northpointe
Bank (Northpointe), a Michigan banking corporation. Pursuant to the
terms of a participation agreement, the Bank purchases
participation interests in loans made by Northpointe related to
fully underwritten and pre-sold mortgage loans originated by
various prescreened mortgage loan originators located throughout
the United States. A takeout commitment is in place at the time the
loans are purchased. The Bank has participated in similar
arrangements since 2003 as a higher yielding alternative to federal
funds sold or investment securities. These loans are short-term,
residential real estate loans that have an average life in our
portfolio of approximately two weeks. The Bank holds these loans
during the period of time between loan closing and when the loan is
paid off by the ultimate secondary market purchaser. As of December
31, 2019, and 2018, there were $63,823 and $52,366 million of these
loans included in loans held for sale on the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet.
Troubled
Debt Restructuring
In
situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a
borrower's financial condition, management may grant a concession
to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider, the related
loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR").
Management strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty
early and work with them to modify their loan to more affordable
terms before their loan reaches nonaccrual status. These
modified terms may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness,
payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the
economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the
collateral. In cases where borrowers are granted new terms
that provide for a reduction of either interest or principal,
management measures any impairment on the restructuring as noted
above for impaired loans. The Company has $5.75 million in
loans classified as TDRs that are current and performing as of
December 31, 2019, and $8.03 million as of December 31,
2018.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
Allowance
for Loan and Losses
The
allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of
probable losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. A
provision for estimated losses is charged to earnings to establish
and maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level reflective of
the estimated credit risk. When management determines that a loan
balance or portion of a loan balance is not collectible, the loss
is charged against the allowance. Subsequent recoveries, if any,
are credited to the allowance.
Management’s
determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an
evaluation of the composition of the loan portfolio, the value and
adequacy of collateral, current economic conditions, historical
loan loss experience, and other risk factors. Management evaluates
the allowance each quarter through a methodology that estimates
losses on individual impaired loans and evaluates the effect of
numerous factors on the credit risk of each segment of
loans.
The
Company’s allowance for loan losses has two basic components:
the general allowance and the specific allowance. Each of these
components is determined based upon estimates and judgments. The
general allowance uses historical loss experience as an indicator
of future losses, along with various qualitative factors, including
levels and trends in delinquencies, nonaccrual loans, charge-offs
and recoveries, trends in volume and terms of loans, effects of
changes in underwriting standards, experience of lending staff,
economic conditions, and portfolio concentrations.
Except
for credit card, all loans are assigned an internal risk rating
based on certain credit quality indicators. The period-end balances
for each loan segment are multiplied by the adjusted loss factor.
Specific allowances are established for individually evaluated
impaired loans based on the excess of the loan balance relative to
the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is deemed collateral
dependent.
Management believes
that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management
uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future
additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in
economic conditions, particularly those affecting real estate
values. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
their examination process, periodically review the Company’s
allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to
recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about
information available to them at the time of their
examination.
Other
Real Estate Owned (OREO)
OREO is
held for sale and represents real estate acquired through or in
lieu of foreclosure. OREO is initially recorded at fair value less
costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.
Physical possession of residential real estate property
collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan occurs when legal title is
obtained upon completion of foreclosure or when the borrower
conveys all interest in the property to satisfy the loan through
completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar
legal agreement. The Company’s policy is to carry OREO on its
balance sheet at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated
costs to sell. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a
valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating costs
after acquisition are expensed.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
Bank
Premises and Equipment
Land is
carried at cost and bank premises and equipment are stated at cost
less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to income
over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a combination of
the straight-line and accelerated methods. The ranges of the useful
lives of the premises and equipment are as follows:
|
|
Premises and
Improvements
|
10 - 40
years
|
|
|
Furniture and
Equipment
|
5 - 20
years
|
Maintenance,
repairs, and minor improvements are charged to operations as
incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions are reflected in other
income or expense.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The
Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets under ASC 805,
“Business Combinations” and ASC 350,
“Intangibles”, respectively. Goodwill is subject to at
least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair
value-based test. Additionally, acquired intangible assets
are separately recognized if the benefit of the assets can be sold,
transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, and amortized over
their useful lives. The Company recorded goodwill and intangible
assets in 2018 related to the purchase of VS Title which was valued
by an independent third party. The Company records as goodwill the
excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable
net assets acquired. Impairment testing is performed annually, as
well as when an event triggering impairment may have occurred. The
Company performs its annual analysis as of December 31 each fiscal
year. Accounting guidance permits preliminary assessment of
qualitative factors to determine whether a more substantial
impairment testing is required. The Company chose to bypass the
preliminary assessment and utilized a two-step process for
impairment testing of goodwill. The first step tests for
impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures the
impairment. No indicators of impairment were identified
during the years ended December 31, 2019 and
2018.
Pension
Plans
The
Bank has a qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plan
which covers all full-time employees hired prior to April 1, 2012.
The benefits are primarily based on years of service and earnings.
The Company complies with ASC 325-960 “Defined Benefit
Pension Plans” which requires recognition of the over-funded
or under-funded status of pension and other postretirement benefit
plans on the balance sheet. Under ASC 325-960, gains and losses,
prior service costs and credits, and any remaining transition
amounts that have not yet been recognized through net periodic
benefit cost will be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive
income, net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component
of net periodic cost.
Advertising Costs
The
Company follows the policy of charging the cost of advertising to
expense as incurred. Total advertising costs included in other
operating expenses for 2019 and 2018 were $701 and $622,
respectively.
Bank
Owned Life Insurance
The
Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain employees.
Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be
realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date,
which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or
other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED):
Transfers
of Financial Assets
Transfers of
financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the
assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets
is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated
from the Company – put presumptively beyond reach of the
transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other
receivership, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of
conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right)
to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company
does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets
through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or
the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific
assets.
Comprehensive
Income
Comprehensive
income is shown in a two-statement approach, the first statement
presents total net income and its components followed by a second
statement that presents all the components of other comprehensive
income such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale
securities and changes in the funded status of a defined benefit
pension plan.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
Under
ASC 815, the gain or loss on a derivative designated and qualifying
as a fair value hedging instrument, as well as the offsetting gain
or loss on the hedging item attributable to the risk being hedged,
is recognized currently in earnings in the same accounting period.
The effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative
designated and qualifying as a cash flow hedging instrument is
initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and
subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period or
periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The
ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative
instrument, if any, is recognized currently in
earnings.
Interest rate
derivative financial instruments receive hedge accounting treatment
only if they are designated as a hedge and are expected to be, and
are, effective in substantially reducing interest rate risk arising
from the assets and liabilities identified as exposing the Company
to risk. Those derivative financial instruments that do not meet
the hedging criteria discussed below would be classified as trading
activities and would be recorded at fair value with changes in fair
value recorded in income. Derivative hedge contracts must meet
specific effectiveness tests. Changes in fair value of the
derivative financial instruments must be effective at offsetting
changes in the fair value of the hedging items due to the
designated hedge risk during the term of the hedge. Further, if the
underlying financial instrument differs from the hedged asset or
liability, there must be a clear economic relationship between the
prices of the two financial instruments. If periodic assessment
indicates derivatives no longer provide an effective hedge, the
derivatives contracts would be closed out and settled or classified
as a trading activity.
Loss
Contingencies
Loss
contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the
likelihood of loss is probable, and an amount or range of loss can
be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are any
such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
Fair
Value Measurements
Fair
values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market
information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a
separate note. Fair value estimates involved uncertainties and
matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit
risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of
broad markets of particular items. Changes in assumptions or in
market conditions could significantly affect these
estimates.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made in prior years’ financial
statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.
These reclassifications had no impact on net income or earnings per
share.
Earnings
per Share
Accounting guidance
specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements
for earnings per share (“EPS”) for entities with
publicly held common stock or potential common stock such as
options, warrants, convertible securities or contingent stock
agreements if those securities trade in a public market. Basic EPS
is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders
by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted EPS is similar to the computation
of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include
the number of additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if the dilutive common shares had been
issued. The dilutive effect of conversion of preferred
stock is reflected in the diluted earnings per common share
calculation.
Net
income available to common stockholders represents consolidated net
income adjusted for preferred dividends declared.
The
following table provides a reconciliation of net income to net
income available to common stockholders for the periods

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
During
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial
Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in
this ASU, among other things, require the measurement of all
expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting
date based on historical experience, current conditions, and
reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and
other organizations will now use forward-looking information to
better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss
estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted,
although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the
full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends
the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt
securities and purchased financial assets with credit
deterioration. The amendments in this ASU are effective for SEC
filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities will
be required to apply the guidance for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The
Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-13 will
have on its consolidated financial statements and is in the set up
stage with expectations of running parallel for all of 2020 and all
data has been archived under the current model.
During
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles
– Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for
Goodwill Impairment”. The amendments in this ASU simplify how
an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by
eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2
measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair
value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount
of that goodwill. Instead, under the amendments in this ASU, an
entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment
test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its
carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the
qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the
quantitative impairment test is necessary. Public business entities
that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers
should adopt the amendments in this ASU for annual or interim
goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or
annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after
January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU
2017-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value
Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the
Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The
amendments modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to add
disclosures regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses, the
range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used
to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative
description of measurement uncertainty. Certain disclosure
requirements in Topic 820 are also removed or modified. The
amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Certain of
the amendments are to be applied prospectively while others are to
be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The
Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-13 to have a
material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14,
“Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit
Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure
Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined
Benefit Plans.” These amendments modify the disclosure
requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or
other postretirement plans. Certain disclosure requirements have
been deleted while the following disclosure requirements have been
added: the weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash
balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting
rates and an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and
losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period.
The amendments also clarify the disclosure requirements in
paragraph 715-20-50-3, which state that the following information
for defined benefit pension plans should be disclosed: The
projected benefit obligation (PBO) and fair value of plan assets
for plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets and the accumulated
benefit obligation (ABO) and fair value of plan assets for plans
with ABOs in excess of plan assets. The amendments are effective
for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is
permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-14
to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements, continued
In
April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, “Codification
Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit
Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825,
Financial Instruments.” This ASU clarifies and improves areas
of guidance related to the recently issued standards on credit
losses, hedging, and recognition and measurement including
improvements resulting from various TRG Meetings. The amendments
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is
permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU
2019-04 will have on its consolidated financial
statements.
In May
2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, “Financial
Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition
Relief.” The amendments in this ASU provide entities that
have certain instruments within the scope of Subtopic 326-20 with
an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic
825-10, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible
instruments, upon the adoption of Topic 326. The fair value option
election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. An
entity that elects the fair value option should subsequently
measure those instruments at fair value with changes in fair value
flowing through earnings. The amendments are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied on a
modified-retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect
adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings balance in
the balance sheet. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is
currently assessing the impact that ASU 2019-05 will have on its
consolidated financial statements.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11,
“Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial
Instruments – Credit Losses.” This ASU addresses issues
raised by stakeholders during the implementation of ASU No.
2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic
326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.”
Among other narrow-scope improvements, the new ASU clarifies
guidance around how to report expected recoveries. “Expected
recoveries” describes a situation in which an organization
recognizes a full or partial write-off of the amortized cost basis
of a financial asset, but then later determines that the amount
written off, or a portion of that amount, will in fact be
recovered. While applying the credit losses standard, stakeholders
questioned whether expected recoveries were permitted on assets
that had already shown credit deterioration at the time of purchase
(also known as PCD assets). In response to this question, the ASU
permits organizations to record expected recoveries on PCD assets.
In addition to other narrow technical improvements, the ASU also
reinforces existing guidance that prohibits organizations from
recording negative allowances for available-for-sale debt
securities. The ASU includes effective dates and transition
requirements that vary depending on whether or not an entity has
already adopted ASU 2016-13.
The Company is currently
assessing the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated
financial statements and is in the set up stage with expectations
of running parallel for all of 2020 and all data has been archived
under the current model.
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes
(Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income
Taxes.”
The ASU is expected to
reduce cost and complexity related to the accounting for income
taxes by removing specific exceptions to general principles in
Topic 740 (eliminating the need for an organization to analyze
whether certain exceptions apply in a given period) and improving
financial statement preparers’ application of certain income
tax-related guidance. This ASU is part of the FASB’s
simplification initiative to make narrow-scope simplifications and
improvements to accounting standards through a series of short-term
projects. For
public business entities, the amendments are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is
permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU
2019-05 will have on its consolidated financial
statements.

Accounting Pronouncements, continued
In
January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments
– Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity
Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging
(Topic 815) – Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321,
Topic 323, and Topic 815.” The ASU is based on a consensus of
the Emerging Issues Task Force and is expected to increase
comparability in accounting for these transactions. ASU 2016-01
made targeted improvements to accounting for financial instruments,
including providing an entity the ability to measure certain equity
securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost, less
any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable
price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a
similar investment of the same issuer. Among other topics, the
amendments clarify that an entity should consider observable
transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the
equity method of accounting. For public business entities, the
amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 31, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Early adoption is permitted The Company is currently
assessing the impact that ASU 2019-05 will have on its consolidated

NOTE
3 – CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD IMMATERIAL ERROR
In
November 2019, the Company identified an immaterial error in its
previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements related to the
amortization of dealer commissions paid to originate indirect auto
loans due to a system input error that was not previously
identified. As a result, the Company determined the date of the
system input error and the proper amount of the amortization that
should have been recorded for 2018 and the amount related to prior
periods.
In
evaluating whether the previously issued Consolidated Financial
Statements were materially misstated for the interim or annual
periods prior to December 31, 2019, the Company applied the
guidance of ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1.M, Assessing
Materiality and SAB Topic 1.N, Considering the Effects of Prior
Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year
Financial Statements and concluded that the effect of the errors on
prior period annual financial statements was immaterial; however,
the cumulative effect of correcting all of the prior period
misstatements in the current year would be material to the current
year consolidated financial statements. The guidance states that
prior-year misstatements which, if corrected in the current year
would materially misstate the current year’s financial
statements, must be corrected by adjusting prior year financial
statements, even though such correction previously was and
continues to be immaterial to the prior-year financial statements.
Correcting prior-year financial statements for such immaterial
misstatements does not require previously filed reports to be
amended.
The
cumulative effect of adjustments required to correct the
misstatements in the financial statements for years prior to 2019
are reflected in the 2018 financial statements. The cumulative
effect of those adjustments on all periods prior to 2018 decreased
retained earnings as of December 31, 2017 by $248 thousand. The
Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statements of Income, Changes in
Stockholders' Equity, and Cash Flows have been adjusted to reflect
the correction for the year ended December 31, 2018.

as of December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2019, the Company was
committed to invest an additional $3,351 in five low-income housing
limited partnerships. These funds will be paid as requested by the
general partner to complete the projects. This additional
investment has been reflected in the above carrying basis and in
accrued liabilities on the balance sheet.

SECURITIES
(CONTINUED):
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 includes fixed rate bonds,
whose prices move inversely with rates and variable rate bonds. 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 for other than temporary impairment. The primary
concern in a loss situation is the credit quality of the issuer
behind the instrument. Bonds deteriorate in value due to credit
quality of the individual issuer and changes in market
conditions.
A
summary of unrealized losses (in thousands) and the length of time
in a continuous loss position, by security type of December 31,
2019 and 2018 were as follows:

Management
evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on at
least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or
market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given
to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value
has been less than the cost, (2) the financial condition and
near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability
of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period
of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery of fair
value. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it
is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to
sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost. As
of December 31, 2019, the Company did not hold any security that
was other-than-temporarily impaired. There were two securities in
an unrealized loss position, these securities were not in an
unrealized loss position for more than twelve months. The Company
did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses in
2019 or 2018.

LOANS
(CONTINUED):
The
Company has pledged loans held for investment as collateral for
borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta totaling
$178,253 and $186,673 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018,
respectively. The Company maintains a blanket lien on its entire
residential real estate portfolio and certain commercial and home
equity loans.
Loans
held for sale consists of loans originated by F&M Mortgage for
sale in the secondary market, and the Bank’s commitment to
purchase residential mortgage loan participations from Northpointe
Bank. The volume of loans purchased from Northpointe fluctuates due
to a number of factors including changes in secondary market rates,
which affects demand for mortgage loans; the number of
participating banks involved in the program; the number of mortgage
loan originators selling loans to the lead bank and the funding
capabilities of the lead bank. Loans held for sale as of December
31, 2019, and 2018 were $66,798 and $55,910,
respectively.

ALLOWANCE
FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED):
During
the second quarter of 2019, Management reduced the historical net
charge off lookback period from five years to two years for all
segments given recent asset quality trends and charge off
experience. Management believes the two-year lookback period is
more indicative of the risk remaining in the loan
portfolio.
This
change and the effect on provision expense for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2019 was as follows:

Description of internal loan grades:
Grade 1 – Minimal Risk
:
Excellent credit, superior asset quality, excellent debt capacity
and coverage, and recognized management capabilities.
Grade 2 – Modest Risk
:
Borrower consistently generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt
service, excellent credit, above average asset quality and
liquidity.
Grade 3 – Average Risk
:
Borrower generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service.
Employment (or business) is stable with good future trends. Credit
is very good.
Grade 4 – Acceptable
Risk
: Borrower’s cash flow is adequate to cover debt
service; however, unusual expenses or capital expenses must by
covered through additional long term debt. Employment (or business)
stability is reasonable, but future trends may exhibit slight
weakness. Credit history is good. No unpaid judgments or collection
items appearing on credit report.
Grade 5 – Marginally
acceptable
: Credit to borrowers who may exhibit declining
earnings, may have leverage that is materially above industry
averages, liquidity may be marginally acceptable. Employment or
business stability may be weak or deteriorating. May be currently
performing as agreed, but would be adversely affected by developing
factors such as layoffs, illness, reduced hours or declining
business prospects. Credit history shows weaknesses, past
due
s
, paid or disputed
collections and judgments, but does not include borrowers that are
currently past due on obligations or with unpaid, undisputed
judgments.

ALLOWANCE
FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED):
Grade 6 – Watch
: Loans
are currently protected but are weak due to negative balance sheet
or income statement trends. There may be a lack of effective
control over collateral or the existence of documentation
deficiencies. These loans have potential weaknesses that deserve
management’s close attention. Other reasons supporting this
classification include adverse economic or market conditions,
pending litigation or any other material weakness. Existing loans
that become 60 or more days past due are placed in this category
pending a return to current status.
Grade 7 – Substandard
:
Loans having well-defined weaknesses where a payment default and or
loss is possible, but not yet probable. Cash flow is inadequate to
service the debt under the current payment, or terms, with
prospects that the condition is permanent. Loans classified as
substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and
paying capacity of the borrower and there is the likelihood that
collateral will have to be liquidated and/or guarantor(s) called
upon to repay the debt. Generally, the loan is considered
collectible as to both principal and interest, primarily because of
collateral coverage, however, if the deficiencies are not corrected
quickly; there is a probability of loss.
Grade 8 – Doubtful
: Loans
having all the characteristics of a substandard credit, but
available information indicates it is unlikely the loan will be
repaid in its entirety. Cash flow is insufficient to service the
debt. It may be difficult to project the exact amount of loss, but
the probability of some loss is great. Loans are to be placed on
non-accrual status when any portion is classified
doubtful.
Credit
card and dealer finance loans are classified as performing or
nonperforming. A loan is nonperforming when payments of principal
and interest are past due 90 days or more.
NOTE
8
TROUBLED
DEBT RESTRUCTURING:
In the
determination of the allowance for loan losses, management
considers troubled debt restructurings and subsequent defaults in
these restructurings by adjusting the loan grades of such loans,
which are considered in the qualitative factors within the
allowance for loan loss methodology. Defaults resulting in
charge-offs affect the historical loss experience ratios which are
a component of the allowance calculation. Additionally, specific
reserves may be established on troubled debt restructured loans
which are evaluated individually for impairment.
During
the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, the Bank modified 7
loans that were considered to be troubled debt restructurings.
These modifications included rate adjustments, revisions to
amortization schedules, suspension of principal payments for a
temporary period, re-advancing funds to be applied as payments to
bring the loan(s) current, or any combination thereof.

which is secured by the loan portfolio, can be a daily rate
variable loan that acts as a line of credit or a fixed rate
advance, depending on the needs of the Company.
As of
December 31, 2019, the Company had unsecured lines of credit with
correspondent banks totaling $41,000 which may be used in the
management of short-term liquidity, on which none was
outstanding.

EMPLOYEE
BENEFITS (CONTINUED):
Funding Policy
Due to
the current funding status of the plan, the Company did not make a
contribution in 2019 or 2018. The net periodic pension cost of the
plan for 2020 will be approximately $703. In 2019, due to recent
retirements, the Company was subject to a settlement charge
totaling $1,100. The Company is not expected to be subject to
settlement accounting in 2020.
Long-Term Rate of Return
The
Company, as plan sponsor, selects the expected long-term rate of
return on assets assumption in consultation with investment
advisors and the plan actuary. This rate is intended to reflect the
average rate of earnings expected to be earned on the funds
invested or to be invested to provide plan benefits. Historical
performance is reviewed, especially with respect to real rates of
return (net of inflation) for the major asset classes held or
anticipated to be held by the trust. Undue weight is not given to
recent experience, which may not continue over the measurement
period, with higher significance placed on current forecasts of
future long-term economic conditions.
Because
assets are held in a qualified trust, anticipated returns are not
reduced for taxes. Further, and solely for this purpose, the plan
is assumed to continue in force and not terminate during the period
during which the assets are invested. However, consideration is
given to the potential impact of current and future investment
policy, cash flow into and out of the trust, and expenses (both
investment and non-investment) typically paid from plan assets (to
the extent such expenses are not explicitly estimated within
periodic cost).
Asset Allocation
The
trust fund is sufficiently diversified to maintain a reasonable
level of risk without imprudently sacrificing return, with a
targeted asset allocation of 39% fixed income and 61% equity. The
Investment Manager selects investment fund managers with
demonstrated experience and expertise, and funds with demonstrated
historical performance, for the implementation of the Plan’s
investment strategy. The Investment Manager will consider both
actively and passively managed investment strategies and will
allocate funds across the asset classes to develop an efficient
investment structure. The pension plan’s allocations as of
December 31, 2019 and 2018 were 60% equity and 40% fixed and 58%
equity and 42% fixed, respectively.
Estimated Future Benefit Payments, which reflect expected future
service, as appropriate, as of December 31, 2019, are as

EMPLOYEE
BENEFITS (CONTINUED):
Employee
Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
The
Company sponsors an ESOP which provides stock ownership to
substantially all employees of the Company. The Plan provides total
vesting upon the attainment of five years of service. Contributions
to the plan are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors
and are allocated based on the compensation of each employee
relative to total compensation paid by the Company. All shares
issued and held by the Plan are considered outstanding in the
computation of earnings per share. Dividends on Company stock are
allocated and paid to participants at least annually. Shares of
Company stock, when distributed, have restrictions on
transferability. The Company contributed $406 in 2019 and $443 in
2018 to the Plan and charged this expense to operations. The shares
held by the ESOP totaled 193,549 and 203,147 at December 31, 2019
and 2018, respectively.
401(K)
Plan
The
Company sponsors a 401(k) savings plan under which eligible
employees may choose to save up to 20 percent of their salary on a
pretax basis, subject to certain IRS limits. Under the Federal Safe
Harbor rules employees are automatically enrolled at 3% (this
increases by 1% per year up to 6%) of their salary unless elected
otherwise. The Company matches one hundred percent of the first 1%
contributed by the employee and fifty percent from 2% to 6% of
employee contributions. Vesting in the contributions made by the
Company is 100% after two years of service. Contributions under the
plan amounted to $289 and $283 in 2019 and 2018,
respectively.
Deferred
Compensation Plan
The
Company has a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for several
of its key employees and directors. The Company may make annual
contributions to the plan, and the employee or director has the
option to defer a portion of their salary or bonus based on
qualifying annual elections. Contributions to the plan totaled $125
in 2019 and $125 in 2018. A liability is accrued for the obligation
under the plan and totaled $3,713 and $3,170 at December 31, 2019
and 2018, respectively.
Investments
in Life Insurance Contracts
The
Bank currently offers a variety of benefit plans to all full-time
employees. While the costs of these plans are generally tax
deductible to the Bank, the cost has been escalating greatly in
recent years. To help offset escalating benefit costs and to
attract and retain qualified employees, the Bank purchased Bank
Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) contracts that will provide benefits to
employees during their lifetime. Dividends received on these
policies are tax-deferred and the death benefits under the policies
are tax exempt. Rates of return on a tax-equivalent basis are very
favorable when compared to other long-term investments which the
Bank might make. The accrued liability related to the BOLI
contracts was $477 and $466 for December 31, 2019 and 2018,
respectively.

CONCENTRATIONS
OF CREDIT:
The
Company had cash deposits in other commercial banks in excess of
FDIC insurance limits totaling $975 and $2,195 at December 31, 2019
and 2018, respectively.
The
Company grants commercial, residential real estate and consumer
loans to customers located primarily in the northwestern portion of
the State of Virginia. There were no loan concentration areas
greater than 25% of capital. Collateral required by the Company is
determined on an individual basis depending on the purpose of the
loan and the financial condition of the borrower. As of December
31, 2019, approximately 79% of the loan portfolio was secured by
real estate.

COMMITMENTS:
The
Company makes commitments to extend credit in the normal course of
business and issues standby letters of credit to meet the financing
needs of its customers. The amount of the commitments represents
the Company's exposure to credit loss that is not included in the
consolidated balance sheet. As of the December 31, 2019 and 2018,
the Company had the following commitments outstanding:

|
2,119
|
The
Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments to
extend credit and issue standby letters of credit as it does for
the loans reflected in the consolidated balance sheet.
Commitments to
extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there
is no 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. Collateral required, if
any, upon extension of credit is based on management's credit
evaluation of the borrower’s ability to pay. Collateral held
varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property,
plant and equipment.

ON
BALANCE SHEET DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING
ACTIVITIES:
Mortgage Banking Derivatives
Commitments to fund
certain mortgage loans originated by F&M Mortgage (rate lock
commitments) to be sold into the secondary market and best efforts
commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third
party investors are considered derivatives. It is the practice of
F&M Mortgage to enter into best efforts commitments for the
future delivery of residential mortgage loans when interest rate
lock commitments are entered into in order to economically hedge
the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from its
commitments to fund the loans. These mortgage banking derivatives
are not designated hedge relationships. The fair value of the
mortgage banking derivatives were estimated based on changes in
interest rates from the date of the commitments and were considered
immaterial at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and were not recorded on
the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The
Company has stand alone derivative financial instruments in the
form of forward option contracts. These transactions involve both
credit and market risk. The notional amounts are amounts on which
calculations, payments, and the value of the derivative are based.
Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. Direct
credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the
calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any. Such
difference, which represents the fair value of the derivative
instruments, is reflected on the Company’s consolidated
balance sheet as derivative assets and derivative
liabilities.
The
Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties to these agreements. The
Company controls the credit risk of its financial contracts through
credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures, and does not
expect any counterparties to fail their obligations. The Company
deals only with primary dealers.
Derivative
instruments are generally either negotiated Over-the-Counter (OTC)
contracts or standardized contracts executed on a recognized
exchange. Negotiated OTC derivative contracts are generally entered
into between two counterparties that negotiate specific agreement
terms, including the underlying instrument, amount, exercise prices
and maturity.

ON
BALANCE SHEET DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
(CONTINUED):
The
Company issues to customer’s certificates of deposit with an
interest rate that is derived from the rate of return on the stock
of the companies that comprise The Dow Jones Industrial Average. In
order to manage the interest rate risk associated with this deposit
product, the Company has purchased a series of forward option
contracts. These contracts provide the Company with a rate of
return commensurate with the return of The Dow Jones Industrial
Average from the time of the contract until maturity of the related
certificates of deposit. These contracts are accounted for as fair
value hedges. Because the certificates of deposit can be redeemed
by the customer at any time and the related forward options
contracts cannot be cancelled by the Company, the hedge is not
considered effective. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss
on the derivative instrument, if any, is recognized currently in
earnings. There was no ineffective portion included in the
consolidated income statement for the years ended December 31, 2019
and 2018.

contracts, included in other assets and other liabilities on the

DIVIDEND
LIMITATIONS ON SUBSIDIARY BANK:
The
principal source of funds of F & M Bank Corp. is dividends paid
by the Farmers & Merchants Bank. The Federal Reserve Act
restricts the amount of dividends the Bank may pay. Approval by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is required if the
dividends declared by a state member bank, in any year, exceed the
sum of (1) net income of the current year and (2) income net of
dividends for the preceding two years. As of January 1, 2020,
approximately $2,000 was available for dividend distribution
without permission of the Board of Governors. Dividends paid by the
Bank to the Company totaled $6,000 in 2019 and $8,874 in
2018.
NOTE

FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
Fair
value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or
paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
values:
|
|
Level
1 –
|
Valuation
is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
and liabilities.
|
|
|
Level
2 –
|
Valuation
is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active
markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for
identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets,
and model-based valuation techniques for which significant
assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by
observable data in the market.
|
|
|
Level
3 –
|
Valuation
is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant
inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the
market.
|
The
following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to
measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair
value on a recurring basis in the financial
statements:

FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED):
Securities
Where
quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are
classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1
securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage
products and exchange traded equities, such as U. S. Treasuries. If
quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are
estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with
similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2
securities would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed
agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions
and certain corporate, asset backed and other securities. In
certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency
around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within
Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The carrying value of
restricted Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock
approximates fair value based upon the redemption provisions of
each entity and is therefore excluded from the following
table.
Derivatives
The
Company’s derivatives are recorded at fair value based on
third party vendor supplied information using discounted cash flow
analysis from observable-market based inputs, which are considered
Level 2 inputs.

following tables present the balances of financial assets measured

Certain
financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these
assets usually result from the application of
lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual
assets.
The
following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to
measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:
Loans Held for Sale
Loans
held for sale are short-term loans purchased at par for resale to
investors at the par value of the loan and loans originated by
F&M Mortgage for sale in the secondary market. Loan
participations are generally repurchased within 15 days.
Loans originated for sale by F&M Mortgage are recorded at lower
of cost or market. No market adjustments were required at December
31, 2019 or 2018; therefore, loans held for sale were carried at
cost. Because of the short-term nature and fixed repurchase price,
the book value of these loans approximates fair value at December
31, 2019 and 2018.

FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED):
Impaired Loans
Loans
are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management
based on current information and events, it is probable that all
amounts due will not be collected according to the contractual
terms of the loan agreement. Troubled debt restructurings are
impaired loans. Impaired loans are measured at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis. If an individually-evaluated impaired
loan’s balance exceeds fair value, the amount is allocated to
the allowance for loan losses. Any fair value adjustments are
recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the
Consolidated Statements of Income.
The
fair value of an impaired loan and measurement of associated loss
is based on one of three methods: the observable market price of
the loan, the present value of projected cash flows, or the fair
value of the collateral. The observable market price of a loan is
categorized as a Level 1 input. The present value of projected cash
flows method results in a Level 3 categorization because the
calculation relies on the Company’s judgment to determine
projected cash flows, which are then discounted at the current rate
of the loan, or the rate prior to modification if the loan is a
troubled debt restructure.
Loans measured using the fair value of collateral
method are categorized in Level 3. Collateral may be in the form of
real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and
accounts receivable. Most collateral is real estate.
The
Company bases collateral method fair valuation upon the
“as-is” value of independent appraisals or
evaluations.
The
value of real estate collateral is determined by an independent
appraisal utilizing an income or market valuation approach.
The Company discounts appraised value by estimated selling costs to
arrive at net fair value. Appraisals conducted by an independent,
licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market
data is categorized as Level 3. The value of business equipment is
based upon an outside appraisal (Level 3) if deemed significant, or
the net book value on the applicable business’ financial
statements (Level 3) if not considered significant. Likewise,
values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based
on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level
3).
As of
December 31, 2019 and 2018, the fair value measurements for
impaired loans with specific allocations were primarily based upon
the fair value of the collateral.

Other Real Estate Owned
Certain
assets such as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair
value less cost to sell. Valuation of other real estate owned is
determined using current appraisals from independent parties, a
level three input. If current appraisals cannot be obtained prior
to reporting dates, or if declines in value are identified after a
recent appraisal is received, appraisal values are discounted,
resulting in Level 3 estimates. If the Company markets the property
with a realtor, estimated selling costs reduce the fair value,
resulting in a valuation based on Level 3 inputs.
The
Company markets other real estate owned both independently and with
local realtors. Properties marketed by realtors are discounted by
selling costs. Properties that the Company markets independently
are not discounted by selling costs.

FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)
The
following presents the carrying amount, fair value and placement in
the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial
instruments as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. For short-term
financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents and short-term
liabilities, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair
value due to the relatively short time between the origination of
the instrument and its expected realization. For financial
liabilities such as noninterest bearing demand, interest bearing
demand and savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable
estimate of fair value due to these products having no stated
maturity. Fair values for December 31, 2019 and 2018 are estimated
under the exit price notion in accordance with ASU 2016-01,

REGULATORY
MATTERS
The
Company meets the eligibility criteria of a small bank holding
company in accordance with the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank
Holding Company Policy Statement issued in February 2015 and is not
obligated to report consolidated regulatory capital. The Bank is
subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have
a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s
assets, liabilities, and certain off balance-sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s
capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and
other factors.
The
final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. Banks (Basel III
rules) became effective January 1, 2015, with full compliance of
all the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule and
fully phased in on January 1, 2019. Under the Basel III rules, the
Company must hold a capital conservation buffer above the
adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital
conservation buffer was fully phased in at 2.50% January 1, 2019.
The capital conservation buffer for 2019 was 6.55% and for 2018 was
6.44%. The net unrealized gain on securities available for sale and
the unfunded pension liability are not included in computing
regulatory capital.
Quantitative
measures established by regulation, to ensure capital adequacy,
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios. These
ratios are defined in the regulations and the amounts are set forth
in the table below. Management believes, as of December 31, 2019
and 2018, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to
which they are subject.
Community
Bank Leverage Ratio
On
September 17, 2019, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
finalized a rule that introduces an optional simplified measure of
capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations
(i.e., the community bank leverage ratio (CBLR) framework), as
required by the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer
Protection Act. The CBLR framework is designed to reduce burden by
removing the requirements for calculating and reporting risk-based
capital ratios for qualifying community banking organizations that
opt into the framework.
In
order to qualify for the CBLR framework, a community banking
organization must have a tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9
percent, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and
limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets
and liabilities. A qualifying community banking organization that
opts into the CBLR framework and meets all requirements under the
framework will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio
requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations and
will not be required to report or calculate risk-based
capital.
The
CBLR framework will be available for banks to use in their March
31, 2020, Call Report. The Company is currently evaluating whether
to opt into the CBLR framework.
As of
the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank, the
Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk based, Tier
1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table.
There are no conditions or events since that notification that
management believes have changed the institution’s
category.

REVENUE
RECOGNITION
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No.
2014-09
“Revenue from Contracts
with Customers” (Topic 606)
and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606.
Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial
instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In
addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees
associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees,
derivatives, and certain credit card fees are also not in scope of
the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue
streams such as deposit related fees, interchange fees, merchant
income, and annuity and insurance commissions. However, the
recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly
upon adoption of Topic 606. Substantially all of the
Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers.
Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed
below.

REVENUE
RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
Service
charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e.,
net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts),
overdraft fees, monthly service fees, check orders, and other
deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance
obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is
generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the
period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other
deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and
therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied,
and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for
service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received
immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to
customers’ accounts.
Investment Services and Insurance Income
Investment
services and insurance income primarily consists of commissions
received on mutual funds and other investment sales. Commissions
from the sale of mutual funds and other investments are recognized
on trade date, which is when the Company has satisfied its
performance obligation.
Title Insurance Income
VSTitle
provides title insurance and real estate settlement services.
Revenue is recognized at the time the real estate transaction is
completed.
ATM and Check Card Fees
ATM
and Check Card Fees are primarily comprised of debit and credit
card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service
charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of
interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and
credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as
Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder
uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company
ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to
merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in
addition to account management fees.
Other
Other
noninterest income consists of other recurring revenue streams such
as safe deposit box rental fees, and other service charges. Safe
deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual
basis and recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company
determined that since rentals and renewals occur fairly
consistently over time, revenue is recognized on a basis consistent
with the duration of the performance obligation. Other service
charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, online
payment fees, cashier’s checks, mobile banking fees and other
services. The Company’s performance obligation for fees,
exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and
related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon
completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the
following month.

Contract Balances
A
contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for
a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a
contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a
contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s
obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity
has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer.
The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based
on transactional activity. Consideration is often received
immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance
obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not
typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers,
and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any
significant contract balances.
Contract Acquisition Costs
In
connection with the adoption of Topic 606, an entity is required to
capitalize, and subsequently amortize into expense, certain
incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if these
costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of
obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to
obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred
if the contract had not been obtained (for example, sales
commission). The Company utilizes the practical expedient which
allows entities to immediately expense contract acquisition costs
when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these
costs would have been amortized in one year or less. Upon adoption
of Topic 606, the Company did not capitalize any contract
acquisition cost.

LEASES
On
January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02
“Leases (Topic 842)”
and
all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. The Company elected
the prospective application approach provided by ASU 2018-11 and
did not adjust prior periods for ASC 842. The Company also elected
certain practical expedients within the standard and consistent
with such elections did not reassess whether any expired or
existing contracts are or contain leases, did not reassess the
lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and did
not reassess any initial direct costs for existing leases. As
stated in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K, the implementation of
the new standard resulted in recognition of a right-of-use asset
and lease liability of $1.03 million at the date of adoption, which
is related to the Company’s lease of premises used in
operations. The right-of-use asset and lease liability are included
in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Lease
liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease
payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net
present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows
are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in
effect at the commencement date of each lease. Right-of-use assets
represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for
the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability
and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any
incentives received from the lessor.
The
Company’s long-term lease agreements are classified as
operating leases. Certain of these leases offer the option to
extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions
in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent the
options are reasonably assured of being exercised. The lease
agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no
restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require
incurring additional financial obligations.

Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of F&M
Bank Corp. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2019
and 2018, the related consolidated statements of income,
comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and
cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the
consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial
statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
We have
also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in
Internal Control — Integrated
Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013, and our report
dated March 16, 2020 expressed an opinion that the Company had not
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in established
in
Internal Control –
Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a
public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with
U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders
F&M
Bank Corp.
Timberville,
Virginia
Opinion on the Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
We have audited F&M Bank Corp. and
Subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established
in
Internal
Control — Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. In our opinion,
because of the effect of the material weakness described below on
the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the
Company has not maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria
established in
Internal Control —
Integrated Framework
issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission in 2013.
We
have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the
consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and
the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive
income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the
Company for the years then ended, and the related notes to the
consolidated financial statements, and our report dated March 16,
2020 expressed an unqualified opinion.
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such
that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material
weakness has been identified and included in management’s
assessment. The Company’s internal controls did not allow for
the timely identification of a system input error that prevented
the deferred costs associated with a portion of the indirect dealer
auto loan portfolio from amortizing properly. This material
weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing and
extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2019 consolidated
financial statements, and this report does not affect our report
dated March 16, 2020 on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting in the accompanying
Management’s Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based
on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the
PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the
Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
controlover financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed
risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could
have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item
9A.
C
ontrols and
Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The
Company, under the supervision and with the participation of
management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for maintaining
disclosure records and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is
accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management,
including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
In
connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K,
management evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures. The evaluation was performed under the direction of the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
to determine the effectiveness, as of December 31, 2019, of the
design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, at December 31, 2019
the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective due to the material weakness in internal control over
financial reporting described below.
In the
fourth quarter of 2019, the Company identified a material weakness
in the design effectiveness of its control environment. The
material weakness resulted from the failure to design appropriate
controls to identify in a timely manner a system input error that
prevented the deferred costs associated with indirect dealer auto
loans originated after a certain date from amortizing properly.
Management determined this deficiency represents a material
weakness in internal controls over financial reporting on the basis
that it resulted in a correction of an immaterial error in prior
period financial statements that if corrected in the current year
would materially misstate the current year’s financial
statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. All necessary
adjustments have been recorded and reported in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2019.
Remediation for Reported Material
Weakness.
The Company has implemented a remediation plan to
address the material weakness described above with respect to
unamortized indirect dealer finance commissions. To address the
material weakness, the Company analyzed all data inputs required by
the core processing system in order to accurately amortize
commissions paid to dealers for indirect auto loans. As of the date
of this filing, the system inputs have been verified for all active
loans to ensure amortization is being calculated and recorded
appropriately.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting.
Except as disclosed above, there were no changes
in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
during the Company’s quarter ended December 31, 2019 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, the Company believes that no system of controls, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues have been detected.
Management’s Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting.
Management is responsible for the
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
included in the annual report. The financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America and reflect
management’s judgements and estimates concerning effects of
events and transactions that are accounted for or
disclosed.
Management
is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that pertain to the Company's ability to record,
process, summarize and report reliable financial data. Management
recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness
of any internal control over financial reporting, including the
possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of
internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over
financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with
respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of
changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting may vary over time.
In
order to ensure that the Company's internal control over financial
reporting is effective, management regularly assesses such controls
and did so most recently for its financial reporting as of December
31, 2019. This assessment was based on criteria for effective
internal control over financial reporting described in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations (COSO, 2013) of the Treadway Commission. Based on
this assessment, management concluded the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting was not effective as of December
31, 2019.
The
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 has been audited by
Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C., the independent registered public
accounting firm which also audited the Company’s consolidated
financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Yount, Hyde & Barbour’s attestation report on the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting is
included in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplemental
Data” on this Form 10-K.
