MVB Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement s

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10 ‑Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual year-end financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. The consolidated balance sheet as of Dece mber 31, 2014 has been derived from audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2014 filing on Form 10-K . Operating results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for t he year ending December 31, 2015 .

The accounting and reporting policies of MVB Financial Corp. (“the Company” or “MVB”) and its subsidiaries (“Subsidiaries”), including MVB Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”), the Bank’s subsidiary Potomac Mortgage Group, Inc., which does business as MVB Mortgage (“ MVB Mortgage ”) and MVB Insurance, LLC, conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and practices in the banking industry. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates, such as the allowance for loan losses, are based upon known facts and circumstances. Estimates are revised by management in the period such facts and circumstances change.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in MVB’s December 31, 2014 , Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In certain instances, amounts reported in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Specifically , a portion of the prior periods’ interest income and interest expense was classified as gain on loans held for sale and has been reclassified in the current presentation.

Information is presented in these notes with dollars expressed in thousands, unless otherwise noted or specified.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). These amendments affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g. insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance, and creates a Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The ASU allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. We are evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the potential effects of the adoption of the ASU on our financial statements.

7


In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, "Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures." The new guidance aligns the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings with the accounting for other typical repurchase agreements. Going forward, these transactions would all be accounted for as secured borrowings. The guidance eliminates sale accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and supersedes the guidance under which a transfer of a financial asset and a contemporaneous repurchase financing could be accounted for on a combined basis as a forward agreement, which has resulted in outcomes referred to as off-balance-sheet accounting. The amendments in the ASU require a new disclosure for transactions economically similar to repurchase agreements in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets throughout the term of the transaction. The amendments in the ASU also require expanded disclosures, effective for the current reporting period of June 30, 2015, about the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, all of the Company's repurchase agreements were typical in nature (i.e., not repurchase-to-maturity transactions or repurchase agreements executed as a repurchase financing) and are accounted for as secured borrowings. As such, the adoption of ASU No. 2014-11 did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements but resulted in additional disclosures.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.”  The amendments modify the evaluation reporting organizations must perform to determine if certain legal entities should be consolidated as VIEs. Specifically, the amendments: (1) Modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest entities; (2) Eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership; (3) Affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships; and (4) Provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2015-02 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Investment securities with a carrying value of $1 13 , 661 at September 30, 2015 , were pledged to secure public funds, repurchase agreements and potential borrowings at the Federal Reserve discount window.

The Company's investment portfolio includes securities that are in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2015 , the details of which are included in the following table.  Although these securities, if sold at September 30, 2015 would result in a pretax loss of $ 771 , the Company has no intent to sell the applicable securities at such market values, and maintains the Company has the ability to hold these securities until all principal has been recovered.  Declines in the market values of these securities can be traced to general market conditions which reflect the prospect for the economy as a whole.  When determining other-than-temporary impairment on securities, the Company considers such factors as adverse conditions specifically related to a certain security or to specific conditions in an industry or geographic area, the time frame securities have been in an unrealized loss position, the Company's ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in value, whether or not the security has been downgraded by a rating agency, and whether or not the financial condition of the security issuer has severely deteriorated.  As of September 30, 2015 , the Company considers all securities with unrealized loss positions to be temporarily impaired, and consequently, does not believe the Company will sustain any material realized losses as a result of the current temporary decline in market value.

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and actual losses will vary from current estimates.  Management believes that the granularity of the homogeneous pools and the related historical loss ratios and other qualitative factors, as well as the consistency in the application of assumptions, result in an ALL that is representative of the risk found in the components of the portfolio at any given date.

All loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, net deferred fees and costs of $1, 228 and $1, 402 , respectively, were included in the carrying value of loans.

During December 2013 the Bank purchased $74.3 million in performing commercial real estate secured loans in the northern Virginia area. At the time of acquisition, none of these loans were considered impaired. They were acquired at a premium of roughly 1.024 or $1.8 million, which is being amortized in accordance with ASC 310-20. These loans , with the exception of one, are collectively evaluated for impairment under ASC 450. The l oans continue to be individually monitored for payoff activity, and any necessary adjustments to the premium are made accordingly. The loan that has been individually evaluated for impairment is discussed in further detail below in the discussion of impaired loans.

Impaired loans have decreased during 2015, primarily as the result of three loans, of which the recorded investment of each has decreased for various reasons. A loan that is dependent upon the condition of the coal industry, which had a balance of $3.6 million as of December 31, 2014, was reduced by principal payments totaling $ 848 and now represents a recorded investment of $2 . 8 million. Meanwhile, two unrelated acquisition and development loans with a total December 31, 2014 balance of $3.1 million were r educed as the result of a principal curtailment of a $268 and a $6 00 charge-off. These two loans now represent a total recorded investment of $2. 2 million. Meanwhile, it is important to note that $7 . 8 million, or 60 % , of the $1 2 . 9 million total recorded investment in impaired loans as of September 30, 2015 was concentrated in just two impaired loans. Furthermore, one of the two loans had a balance of $5.0 million and is a loan to finance a commercial real estate property in the Northern Virginia market, which had as primary tenants, government contractors that have vacated the premises as a result of losing significant contracts with the United States government. This loan was purchased from another financial institution in late 2013 but it is the Bank’s position that the “Loan Sales Agreement” has been breached by the selling institution and legal recourse is being pursued by the Bank.

As of September 30, 2015 , the Bank held three foreclosed residential real estate properties representing $174, or 64%, of the total balance of other real estate owned. Meanwhile, there are two additional consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate properties in the process of foreclosure. The total recorded investment in these loans was $249 as of September 30, 2015 .

Bank management uses a nine point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio.  The first six categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as "Pass" rated.  The criticized rating categories utilized by Bank management generally follow bank regulatory definitions.  The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification.  Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the

14


weaknesses are not corrected.  All loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard.  The portion of any loan that represents a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses is placed in the Doubtful category.  Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight.  Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event.  The Bank's Chief Credit Officer is responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in the portfolio at origination and on an ongoing basis.  The Credit Department ensures that a review of all commercial relationships of one million dollars or greater is performed annually.

Review of the appropriate risk grade is included in both the internal and external loan review process, and on an ongoing basis.  The Bank has an experienced Credit Department that continually reviews and assesses loans within the portfolio.  The Bank engages an external consultant to conduct loan reviews on at least an annual basis.  Generally, the external consultant reviews larger commercial relationships or criticized relationships.  The Bank’s Credit Department compiles detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, on loans classified as Substandard on a quarterly basis.  Loans in the Special Mention and Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.

The following table represents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful within the internal risk rating system as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Management further monitors the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio by analyzing the age of the portfolio as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is past due.

A loan that has deteriorated and is in a collection process could warrant non-accrual status. A thorough review is to be presented to the Chief Credit Officer and or the Management Loan Committee ("MLC"), as required with respect to any loan which is in a collection process and to make a determination as to whether the loan should be placed on non-accrual status. The placement of loans on non-accrual status will be subject to applicable regulatory restrictions and guidelines. Generally, loans should be placed in non-accrual status when the loan approaches 90 days past due, when it becomes likely the borrower cannot or will not make scheduled principal or interest payments, when full repayment of principal and interest is not expected, or when the loan displays potential loss characteristics. Normally, all accrued interest should be charged off when a loan is placed in non-accrual status. Any payments subsequently received should be applied to principal. To remove a loan from non-accrual status, all principal and interest due must be paid up to date and the bank is reasonably sure of future satisfactory payment performance. Usually, this requires a six-month recent history of payments due. Removal of a loan from non-accrual status will require the approval of the Chief Credit Officer and or MLC.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aging categories of performing loans and nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

The ALL is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio.  The ALL is based on the Bank management's continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience, and the amount of non-performing loans.

The Bank's methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment (discussed above) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance.  The total of the two components represents the Bank's ALL.

Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate.  For general allowances, historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio.  These historical loss amounts are modified by other qualified factors.

The segments as presented within this note , which are based on the Federal call code assigned to each loan, provide the starting point for the ALL analysis.  Company and Bank management track the historical net charge-off activity at the call code level.  A historical charge-off factor is calculated utilizing a defined number of consecutive historical quarters.  All pools currently utilize a rolling 12 quarters.

"Pass" rated credits are segregated from "Criticized" credits for the application of qualitative factors.    Loans in the criticized pools, which possess certain qualities or characteristics that may lead to collection and loss issues, are closely monitored by management and subject to additional qualitative factors.

Company and Bank management have identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience.  The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources are:  national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in delinquency rates and non-accrual loans; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, ability, and depth of lending staff; value of underlying collateral; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint. The combination of historical charge-off and qualitative factors are then weighted for each risk grade. These weightings are determined internally based upon the likelihood of loss as a loan’s risk grading deteriorates.

Bank management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL.  When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL.

To estimate the liability for off-balance sheet credit exposures, bank management analyzed the portfolios of letters of credit, non-revolving lines of credit, and revolving lines of credit, and based its calculation on the expectation of future advances of each loan category. Letters of credit were determined to be highly unlikely to advance since they are generally in place only to ensure various forms of performance of the borrowers. In the Bank’s history, there have been no letters of credit drawn upon. In addition, many of the letters of credit are cash secured and do not warrant an allocation. Non-revolving lines of credit were determined to be highly likely to advance as these are typically construction lines. Meanwhile, the likelihood of revolving lines of credit advancing varies with each individual borrower. Therefore, the future usage of each line was estimated based on the average line utilization of the revolving line of credit portfolio as a whole.

Once the estimated future advances were calculated, an allocation rate, which was derived from the Bank’s historical losses and qualitative environmental factors, was applied in the similar manner as those used for the allowance for loan loss calculation. The resulting estimated loss allocations were totaled to determine the off-balance sheet liability related to these loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The restructuring of a loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if both (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor has granted a concession.  Concessions may include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank had specific reserve allocations for TDR’s of $ 597 and $582 , respectively .

Loans considered to be troubled debt restructured loans totaled $7.6 million and $9.4 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. $2.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively, represent three loans to two borrowers that have defaulted under the restructured terms. All three loans are acquisition and development loans that were considered restructured due to extended interest only periods and/or unsatisfactory repayment structures once transitioned to principal and interest payments. These borrowers have experienced continued financial difficulty and are considered non-performing loans as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The following tables present details related to loans identified as TDR’s for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Repurchase agreements:

Along with traditional deposits, the Bank has access to securities sold under agreements to repurchase “repurchase agreements” with customers represent funds deposited by customers, on an overnight basis, that are collateralized by investment securities owned by the Company. Repurchase agreements with customers are included in borrowings section on the consolidated balance sheets. All repurchase agreements are subject to terms and conditions of repurchase/security agreements between the Company and the client and are accounted for as secured borrowings. The Company's repurchase agreements reflected in liabilities consist of customer accounts and securities which are pledged on an individual security basis.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank had repurchase agreements of $26. 6 million and $32.7 million, respectively. These borrowings were collateralized by investment securi ties or FHLB letters of credit with a carrying value of $2 7 . 1 million and $3 3. 3 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Declines in the value of the collateral would require the Company to pledge additional securities. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the C ompany had $ 7 . 5 million and $ 5.6 million, respectively, of available unpledged securities.

Subordinated Debt

In March 2007, the Company completed the private placement of $4 million Floating Rate, Trust Preferred Securities

19


through its MVB Financial Statutory Trust I subsidiary (the “Trust”).  The Company established the trust for the sole purpose of issuing the Trust Preferred Securities pursuant to an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust.  The proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities were loaned to the Company under subordinated Debentures (the “Debentures”) issued to the Trust pursuant to an Indenture.  The Debentures are the only asset of the Trust.  The Trust Preferred Securities have been issued to a pooling vehicle that will use the distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities to securitize note obligations.  The obligations of the Company with respect to the issuance of the trust preferred securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trust’s obligations with respect to the trust preferred securities to the extent set forth in the related guarantees. The securities issued by the Trust are includable for regulatory purposes as a component of the Company’s Tier I capital.

The Trust Preferred Securities and the Debentures mature in 2037 and have been redeemable by the Company since 2012.  Interest payments are due in March, June, September and December and are adjusted at the interest due dates at a rate of 1.62% over the three month LIBOR Rate. The obligations of the Company with respect to the issuance of the trust preferred securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trust's obligations with respect to the trust preferred securities to the extent set forth in the related guarantees.

On June 30, 2014 , MVB Financial Corp. (the “Company”) issued its Convertible Subordinated Promissory Notes Due 2024 (the “Notes”) to various investors in the aggregate principal amount of $29,400,000 .  The Notes were issued in $100,000 increments per Note subject to a minimum investment of $1,000,000 .  The Notes expire 10 years after the initial issuance date of the Notes (the “Maturity Date”).

Interest on the Notes accrues on the unpaid principal amount of each Note (paid quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year) which rate shall be dependent upon the principal invested in the Notes and the holder’s ownership of common stock in the Company.  For investments of less than $3,000,000 in Notes, an ownership of Company common stock representing at least 30% of the principal of the Notes acquired, the interest rate on the Notes is 7% per annum.  For investments of $3,000,000 or greater in Notes and ownership of the Company’s common stock representing at least 30% of the principal of the Notes acquired, the interest rate on the Notes is 7.5% per annum.  For investments of $10,000,000 or greater, the interest rate on the Notes is 7% per annum, regardless of whether the holder owns or acquires MVB common stock.  The principal on the Notes shall be paid in full at the Maturity Date.  On the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the Notes, a holder may elect to continue to receive the stated fixed rate on the Notes or a floating rate determined by LIBOR plus 5% up to a maximum rate of 9% , adjusted quarterly.

The Notes are unsecured and subject to the terms and conditions of any senior debt and after consultation with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Company may, after the Notes have been outstanding for five years, and without premium or penalty, prepay all or a portion of the unpaid principal amount of any Note together with the unpaid interest accrued on such portion of the principal amount of such Note.  All such prepayments shall be made pro rata among the holders of all outstanding Notes.

At the election of a holder, any or all of the Notes may be converted into shares of common stock during the 30 -day period after the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth anniversaries of the issuance of the Notes or upon a notice to prepay by the Company.  The Notes will convert into common stock based on $ 16 per share of the Company’s common stock.  The conversion price will be subject to anti-dilution adjustments for certain events such as stock splits, reclassifications, non-cash distributions, extraordinary cash dividends, pro rata repurchases of common stock, and business combination transactions.  The Company must give 20 days’ notice to the holders of the Company’s intent to prepay the Notes, so that holders may execute the conversion right set forth above if a holder so desires.

Repayment of the Notes is subordinated to the Company’s outstanding senior debt including (if any) without limitation, senior secured loans.  No payment will be made by the Company, directly or indirectly, on the Notes, unless and until all of the senior debt then due has been paid in full.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as there exists no event of default under any senior debt, the Company would make, and a holder would receive and retain for the holder’s account, regularly scheduled payments of accrued interest and principal pursuant to the terms of the Notes.

The Company must obtain a consent of the holders of the Notes prior to issuing any new senior debt in excess of $15,000,000 after the date of issuance of the Notes and prior to the Maturity Date.

20


An event of default will occur upon the Company’s bankruptcy or any failure to pay interest, principal, or other amounts owing on the Notes when due.   Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default (but subject to the subordination provisions of the Notes) the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes may declare all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes due and payable and demand immediate payment of such amount.

The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed on any interest payment date after a date five years from the original issue date.

The Company reflects subordinated debt in the amount of $33. 5 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and interest expense of $ 1, 648 and $ 589 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 .

Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following summarizes the methods and significant assumptions used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

Level I: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

Level II: Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date.  The nature of these assets and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

Level III:    Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date.  These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis

As required by accounting standards, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The Company classified investments in government securities as Level 2 instruments and valued them using the market approach.  The following measurements are made on

21


a recurring basis.

·

Available-for-sale investment securities - Available-for-sale investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security's credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities and private label entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. There have been no changes in valuation techniques for the year ended December 31, 2014. Valuation techniques are consistent with techniques used in prior periods.

·

Loans held for sale — Loans held for sale are carried at fair value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four-family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the committed market rates or the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data.

·

Interest rate lock commitment - For mortgage interest rate locks, the fair value is based on either (i) the price of the underlying loans obtained from an investor for loans that will be delivered on a best efforts basis or (ii) the observable price for individual loans traded in the secondary market for loans that will be delivered on a mandatory basis less (iii) expected costs to deliver the interest rate locks, any expected “pull through rate” is applied to this calculation to estimate the derivative value.

·

Interest rate cap - The fair value of the interest rate cap is determined at the end of each quarter by using Bloomberg Finance which values the interest rate cap using observable inputs from forward and futures yield curves as well as standard market volatility.

·

Interest rate swap – Interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value based on third party vendors who compile prices from various sources and may determine fair value of identical or similar instruments by using pricing models that consider observable market data.

·

Forward sales commitments – Forward sales commitments are considered derivatives and are recorded at fair value, based on (i) committed sales prices from investors for commitments to sell mortgage loans or (ii) observable market data inputs for commitments to sell mortgage backed securities. A majority of the interest rate lock s and loans held for sale are committed on a best efforts basis.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain financial assets, financial liabilities, non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Certain non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include foreclosed assets (upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment), non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test, and intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment. Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during 201 5 and 201 4 include certain foreclosed assets which, upon initial recognition, were remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for possible loan losses and certain foreclosed

23


assets which, subsequent to their initial recognition, were remeasured at fair value through a write-down included in other non-interest expense.

·

Impaired Loans - Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment using one of several methods, including collateral value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. For a majority of impaired real estate related loans, the Company obtains a current external appraisal. Other valuation techniques are used as well, including internal valuations, comparable property analysis and contractual sales information.

·

Other Real Estate owned — Other real estate owned, which is obtained through the Bank’s foreclosure process is valued utilizing the appraised collateral value. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. At the time, the foreclosure is completed, the Company obtains a current external appraisal.

·

Mortgage Servicing Rights – Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of MSRs do occur, the precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available.

Assets measured at fair value on a n onrecurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are included in the table s below:

Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses.  The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

The following summarizes the methods and significant assumptions used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value because they have original maturities of 90 days or less and do not present unanticipated credit concerns.

Certificates of deposits: The fair values for certificates of deposits are computed based on scheduled future cash flows of principal and interest, discounted at interest rates currently offered for certificates of deposits with similar terms of investors. No prepayments of principal are assumed.

Securities: Fair values of securities are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities.

Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are reported at fair value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four-family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on committed market rates or the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data. (Level II)

Loans: The fair values for loans are computed based on scheduled future cash flows of principal and interest, discounted at interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms of borrowers of similar credit quality.  No prepayments of principal are assumed.

25


Mortgage servicing rights: The carrying value of mortgage servicing rights approximates their fair value.

Interest rate lock commitment: For mortgage interest rate locks, the fair value is based on either (i) the price of the underlying loans obtained from an investor for loans that will be delivered on a best efforts basis or (ii) the observable price for individual loans traded in the secondary market for loans that will be delivered on a mandatory basis less (iii) expected costs to deliver the interest rate locks, any expected “pull through rate” is applied to this calculation to estimate the derivative value. The “pull through rate” range from 78% – 80% and 77% - 81% as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Interest rate cap: The fair value of the interest rate cap is determined at the end of each quarter by using Bloomberg Finance which values the interest rate cap using observable inputs from forward and futures yield curves as well as standard market volatility.

Accrued interest receivable and payable and repurchase agreements: The carrying values of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate their fair values.

Deposits: The fair values of demand deposits (i.e., non-interest bearing checking, NOW and money market), savings accounts and other variable rate deposits approximate their carrying values.  Fair values of fixed maturity deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology at rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.  Any intangible value of long-term relationships with depositors is not considered in estimating the fair values disclosed.

Forward Sales Commitments: Forward sales commitments are used to mitigate interest rate risk for residential mortgage loans held for sale and interest rate locks and manage expected funding percentages. These instruments are considered derivatives and are recorded at fair value, based on (i) committed sales prices from investors for commitments to sell mortgage loans or (ii) observable market data inputs for commitments to sell mortgage backed securities.

FHLB and other borrowings: The fair values for loans are computed based on scheduled future cash flows of principal and interest, discounted at interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms of borrowers of similar credit quality.  No prepayments of principal are assumed.

Subordinated debt: The fair values for debt are computed based on scheduled future cash flows of principal and interest, discounted at interest rates currently offered for debt with similar terms of borrowers of similar credit quality.  No prepayments of principal are assumed.

Off-balance sheet instruments: The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of agreements and the present credit standing of the counterparties.  The amounts of fees currently charged on commitments and standby letters of credit are deemed insignificant, and therefore, the estimated fair values and carrying values are not shown.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors.  These

27


estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.  Fair value estimates are based on existing on-and-off balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments .

Note 7 – Stock Offerings

On June 30, 2014 , the Company filed Certificates of Designations for its Convertible Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (“Class B Preferred”) and its Convertible Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C (“Class C Preferred”).  The Class B Preferred Certificate designated 400 shares of preferred stock as Class B Preferred shares.  The Class B Preferred shares carry an annual dividend rate of 6% and are convertible into shares of Company common stock within thirty days after the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the original issue date, based on a common stock price of $16 per share, as adjusted for future corporate activities.  The Class B Preferred shares are redeemable by the Company on or after the fifth anniversary of the original issue date for Liquidation Amount, as defined therein, plus declared and unpaid dividends.  Redemption is subject to any necessary regulatory approvals.  In the event of liquidation of the Company, shares of Class B Preferred stock shall be junior to creditors of the Company and to the shares of Senior Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A.  Holders of Class B Preferred shares shall have no voting rights, except for authorization of senior shares of stock, amendment to the Class B Preferred shares, share exchanges, reclassifications or changes of control, or as required by law.

The Class C Preferred Certificate designated 383.4 shares of preferred stock as Class C Preferred shares.  The Class C Preferred shares carry an annual dividend rate of 6.5% and are convertible into shares of Company common stock within thirty days after the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the original issue date, based on a common stock price of $16 per share, as adjusted for future corporate activities.  The Class C Preferred shares are redeemable by the Company on or after the fifth anniversary of the original issue date for Liquidation Amount, as defined therein, plus declared and unpaid dividends.  Redemption is subject to any necessary regulatory approvals.  In the event of liquidation of the Company, shares of Class C Preferred stock shall be junior to creditors of the Company and to the shares of Senior Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A and the Class B Preferred shares.  Holders of Class C Preferred shares shall have no voting rights, except for authorization of senior shares of stock, amendment to the Class C Preferred shares, share exchanges, reclassifications or changes of control, or as required by law.

At September 30, 2015 and 2014 , stock options to purchase 509,899 and 518,670 shares at an average price of $11 . 59 and $8 . 0 5 , respectively, were outstanding.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the dilutive effect of stock options was 118 , 526 and 2 1 4 , 075 shares, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the dilutive effect of convertible preferred stock was 489,625 and 0 shares, respectively.

Note 9 – Segment Reporting

During 2013, the Company identified three reportable segments: commercial and retail banking; mortgage banking; and insurance services. Revenue from commercial and retail banking activities consists primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and service charges on deposit accounts. In addition, the commercial and retail banking segment activity includes holding company revenue and expense items.

Revenue from the mortgage banking activities is comprised of interest earned on loans and fees received as a result of the mortgage origination process. The mortgage banking services are conducted by MVB Mortgage. Revenue from insurance services is comprised mainly of commissions on the sale of insurance products.

Information about the reportable segments and reconciliation to the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

Introduction

MVB Financial Corp. (“the Company”) was formed on January 1, 2004, as a bank holding company and, effective December 19, 2012, became a financial holding company.  The Company features multiple subsidiaries and affiliated businesses, including MVB Bank, Inc. (the “Bank” or “MVB Bank”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary MVB Mortgage and MVB Insurance, LLC (“MVB Insurance”). On December 31, 2013, three Company subsidiaries, MVB-Central, Inc. (a second-tier level holding company), MVB-East, Inc. (a second tier holding company) and Bank Compliance Solutions, Inc. (an inactive subsidiary) were merged into the Company.

The Bank was formed on October 30, 1997 and chartered under the laws of the State of West Virginia.  The Bank commenced operations on January 4, 1999. In August of 2005, the Bank opened a full service office in neighboring Harrison County, West Virginia.  During October of 2005, the Bank purchased a branch office in Jefferson County, West Virginia, situated in West Virginia’s eastern panhandle.  During the third quarter of 2007, the Bank opened a full service office in the Martinsburg area of Berkeley County, West Virginia.  In the second quarter of 2011, the Bank opened a banking facility in the Cheat Lake area of Monongalia County, West Virginia.  The Bank opened its second Harrison County, West Virginia location, the downtown Clarksburg office in the historic Empire Building during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Also during the fourth quarter of 2012, the Bank acquired Potomac Mortgage Group, Inc. (“PMG” which, following July 15, 2013, began doing business under the registered trade name “MVB Mortgage”), a mortgage company in the northern Virginia area, and fifty percent (50%) interest in a mortgage services company, Lender Service Provider, LLC (“LSP”).  In the third quarter of 2013, this fifty percent (50%) interest in LSP was reduced to a twenty-five percent (25%) interest through a sale of a partial interest.  This PMG acquisition provided the Company and the Bank the opportunity to make the mortgage banking operation a much more significant line of business to further diversify its net income stream.

40


MVB Mortgage has fourteen mortgage only offices, located in Virginia, Washington, DC, as well as North Carolina and South Carolina, and, in addition, has mortgage loan originators located at select Bank locations throughout West Virginia.

In the first quarter of 2013, the Bank opened its second Monongalia County location in the Sabraton area of Morgantown, West Virginia.  In the second quarter of 2013, the Bank opened its second full service office in Berkeley County, West Virginia, at Edwin Miller Boulevard. In addition, the Bank opened a loan production office at 184 Summers Street, Charleston, Kanawha County, West Virginia, which was subsequently moved to 400 Washington Street East, Charleston, West Virginia and later replaced during March 2015 by a full service branch at the same location. During 2014, the Company continued to focus on growth in the Harrison, Berkeley, Jefferson and Monongalia County areas, as well as the Kanawha county area, as the primary method for reaching performance goals. In addition, the Bank opened a loan production office in Reston, Fairfax County, Virginia, from which the Bank operates as MVB Commercial Lending Company. During January 2015, the Bank opened a location at 100 NASA Boulevard, Fairmont, Marion County, West Virginia, which replaced the 9789 Mall Loop, White Hall, Marion County, West Virginia location as the Technology Park location offers a drive-thru facility to better serve customers. During March 2015, the location at 9789 Mall Loop was closed.  Additionally during March 2015, the Bank opened a new full service location at 400 Washington Street East, Charleston, Kanawha County, West Virginia, replacing its loan production office at the same address. During August 2015, the Bank purchased two branches locations in Berkeley County, West Virginia, situated in West Virginia’s eastern panhandle at 704 Foxcroft Avenue, Martinsburg, West Virginia and 5091 Gerrardstown Road, Inwood, West Virginia.

Currently, the Bank operates twelve full-service banking branches in West Virginia, which are located at:  301 Virginia Avenue in Fairmont, Marion County; 100 NASA Boulevard in Fairmont, Marion County; 1000 Johnson Avenue in Bridgeport, Harrison County; 406 West Main St. in Clarksburg, Harrison County; 88 Somerset Boulevard in Charles Town, Jefferson County; 651 Foxcroft Avenue in Martinsburg, Berkeley County; 704 Foxcroft Avenue in Martinsburg, Berkeley County; 5091 Gerrardstown Road in Inwood, Berkeley County; 2400 Cranberry Square in Cheat Lake, Monongalia County; 10  Sterling  Drive in Morgantown, Monongalia County; 231 Aikens Center in Martinsburg, Berkeley County; and 400 Washington Street East in Charleston, Kanawha Country. In addition, as noted, the Bank operates a loan production office as MVB Commercial Lending Company, at 1801 Reston Parkway, Suite 103, Reston, Fairfax County, Virginia. Subsequent to the close of the third quarter 2015, the Bank, having received all necessary regulatory approvals, opened a de novo branch on October 29, 2015, at 1801 Old Reston Avenue, Suite 103, Reston, Fairfax County, Virginia, replacing its loan production office, which was previously located at the same address.

In addition to MVB Mortgage, the Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, MVB Insurance, LLC.  MVB Insurance was originally formed in 2000 and reinstated in 2005, as a Bank subsidiary.  Effective June 1, 2013, MVB Insurance became a direct subsidiary of the Company.  MVB Insurance offers select insurance products such as title insurance, individual insurance, commercial insurance, employee benefits insurance, and professional liability insurance.  MVB Insurance maintains its headquarters at 301 Virginia Avenue, Fairmont, West Virginia, and operates offices at: 48 Donley Street, Suite 703, Morgantown, West Virginia, 400 Washington Street East, Charleston, West Virginia,; and 300 Wharton Circle, Suite 260, Triadelphia, West Virginia.

The Company’s primary business activities, through its Subsidiaries, are currently community banking, mortgage banking, insurance services, and wealth management.  As a community banking entity, the Bank offers its customers a full range of products through various delivery channels.  Such products and services include checking accounts, NOW accounts, money market and savings accounts, time certificates of deposit, commercial, installment, commercial real estate and residential real estate mortgage loans, debit cards, and safe deposit rental facilities.  Services are provided through our walk-in offices, automated teller machines (“ATMs”), drive-in facilities, and internet and telephone banking. Additionally, the Bank offers non-deposit investment products through an association with a broker-dealer.  Since the opening date of January 4, 1999, the Bank, has experienced significant growth in assets, loans, and deposits due to overwhelming community and customer support in the Marion County, West Virginia and Harrison County, West Virginia markets, expansion into West Virginia’s eastern panhandle counties and, most recently, into Monongalia County, West Virginia.  With the acquisition of PMG, mortgage banking is now a much more significant focus, which has opened up increased market opportunities in the Washington, District of Columbia metropolitan region and added enough volume to better diversify the Company’s earnings stream.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the prior year-end audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s filing on Form 10-K and the unaudited financial statements, ratios, statistics, and discussions contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. At September 30, 2015 , the Company had 3 76 full-time equivalent employees. The Company’s principal office is located at 301 Virginia Avenue, Fairmont, West Virginia 26554, and its telephone number is (304) 363-4800.  The Company’s Internet web site is www.mvbbanking.com.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow general practices within the banking industry.  Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments.  Application of certain accounting policies inherently requires a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and as such, the probability of actual results being materially different from reported estimates is increased.  Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event.  Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility.  The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management primarily through the use of internal forecasting techniques.

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 201 4 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in management’s discussion and analysis of operations, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses to be the accounting area that requires the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of losses inherent in classifications of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience of peer banks, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.  Non-homogeneous loans are specifically evaluated due to the increased risks inherent in those loans.  The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type in the consolidated balance sheet.  Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in MVB’s 10-K describes the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses and a discussion of the factors driving changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses is included in the Allowance for Loan Losses section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations

Overview of the Statement s of Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company earned $1.4 million compared to $537 in the third quarter of 201 4 .  Net interest income increased by $2.0 million, noninterest income increased by $3.4 million and nonint erest expenses increased by $4.2 million .  The increase in net interest income was driven mainly by the continued growth of the Co mpany balance sheet, with $208.7 million in average loan growth and despite an increase in average intere st

42


bearing liabilities of $165.3 million and an incr ease in interest expense of $362. The increase in average interest bearing liabilities generated the increase in interest expense of $362; $284 of the increase was related to an increase in certificates of deposit, which increased cost of funds on certificates of deposit by 13 basis points.

Loan loss provisions of $636 and $783 were made for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The decrease in loan loss provision is attributable to decreasing historical loan loss rates within the res idential real estate and home equity loan portfolios and lower historical levels of charge-offs. The provision for loan losses, which is a product of management’s formal quarterly analysis, is recorded in response to inherent risks in the loan portfoli o.  The Company charged off $304 in loans during the third quarter of 2015 versus $665 for the same time period in 2014 .

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company earned $5.4 million compared to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 .  Net interest income increased by $3.7 million, noninterest income increased by $12.5 million and nonint erest expenses increased by $11.9 million .  The increase in net interest income was driven mainly by the continued growth of the Co mpany balance sheet, with $193.4 million in average loan growth and despite an increase in average intere st bearing liabilities of $142.2 million and an incr ease in interest expense of $1.4 million. The increase in average interest bearing liabilities generated the increase in interest expense of $1.4 million, $1.1 million which related to the issuance of subordinated debt in June 2014, which increased cost of funds on subordinated debt by 99 basis points. There was also a $418 decrease in NOW interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This decrease was related to the subordinated debt in that the funds were held in escrow during the second quarter 2014 up until the subordinated debt was issued on June 30, 2014.

Loan loss provisions of $1.9 million and $2.2 million were made for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively . The decrease in loan loss provision is attributable to decreasing historical loan loss rates within the res idential real estate and home equity loan portfolios and lower historical levels of charge-offs The provision for loan losses, which is a product of management’s formal quarterly analysis, is recorded in response to inherent risks in the loan portfoli o.  The Company charged off $727 in loans during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 versus $776 for the same time period in 2014 .

Interest Income and Expense

Net interest income is the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets include loans and investment securities. Interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposits and repurchase agreements, subordinated debt and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Net interest income is a primary source of revenue for the bank. Changes in market interest rates, as well as changes in the mix and volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets. This ratio serves as a performance measurement of the net interest revenue stream generated by the Bank’s balance sheet.

The net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was 3.11 % and 2.91 % respectively.  The 20 basis poi nt increase in the net interest margin for th e quarter ended September 30, 2015 was the result of a n 18 basis poi nt increase in yield, mainly the result of a n 18 basis point increase in yield on commercial loans. Cost of funds for the three months ended September 30, 2015 versus 2014 remained flat . The continued low rate environment and increasing competition for quality credit continues to apply pressure upon the Bank’s loan portfolio yield. The Bank was able to grow average loan balances by $ 208.7 million, which enabled an increase in net interest income of $2.0 million. Additionally, investment securities average balance declined by $13.4 million through sales and maturities, and the resulting funds earned higher rates in the loan portfolio .  An increase in the Bank’s average non-inte rest bearing balances of $11.5 million led to a favorable increase in the impact of non-interest bearing funds on the margin by 1 basis point.

The n et interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was 3.02 % and 3.02 % respectively. A 6 basis poi nt increase in yield was offset by a 6 basis point increase in cost of funds. The 6 basis point increase in yield was the result of a 20 basis point increase in taxable investment securities and a 26 basis point increase in consumer loans. The 6 basis point increase in cost of funds was mainly the result of the addition of new subordinated debt. Interest expense related to the new subordinated debt that was issue d on June 30, 2014 increased $1.1 million . There was also a $418 decrease in NOW interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This decrease was related to the

43


subordinated debt in that the funds were held in escrow during the second quarter 2014 up until the subordinated debt was issued on June 30, 2014. The continued low rate environment and increasing competition for quality credit continues to apply pressure upon the Bank’s loan portfolio yield. The Bank was able to grow average loan balances by $ 193.4 million, which enabled an increase in net interest income of $3.7 million. Additionally, investment securities average balance declined by $30.7 million through sales and maturities, and the resulting funds earned higher rates in the loan portfolio .

Company and Bank management continuously monitor the effects of net interest margin on the performance of the Bank and, thus, the Company. Growth and mix of the balance sheet will continue to impact net interest margin in future periods.

Non-Interest Income

Mortgage fee income, insurance and investment services income and gain (loss) on derivatives generate the core of the Company ’s noninterest income. Also, gain on sale of portfolio loans continue to be part of the core of the Bank’s noninterest income. In addition, during the third quarter of 2015, the Bank entered into two swap loan agreements. These swap loan agreements allow the bank to offer customers fixed rate loans and the bank to “swap” the interest rate on the loans with a third party at a floating rate. This helps the Bank lower its exposure by improving the interest rate risk position and also produced current period non-interest income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015 , noninterest income totaled $10.0 million compared to $ 6.6 million for the same time period in 201 4.  The $3.4 million in crease in noninterest inco me was mainly the result of an in crease in mortgage fee income of $4.0 million, a decrease in gain on derivatives of $1.6 million and a gain on sale of other real estate owned of $618. The increase in mortgage fee income was due to an increase in loan production and loan sale volume as a result of an expansion into new markets and a decrease in interest rates . The decrease in gain on derivatives was a result of a $43.3 million decrease in loans held for sale. The increase in gain on sale of other real estate owned was the result of a sale of one property during the third quarter of 2015.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , noninterest income totaled $31.9 million compared to $ 19.4 million for the same time period in 201 4.  The $12.5 million in crease in noninterest inco me was mainly the result of an in crease in mortgage fee income of $11.4 million and an increase in gain on sale of other real estate owned of $597. The increase in mortgage fee income was due to an increase in loan production and loan sale volume as a result of an expansion into new markets and a decrease in interest rates . Further, the decrease in interest rates has increased the share of refinances from 21 % during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to 36 % during the same time period in 2015. The gain on sale of other real estate owned was primarily the result of a sale of one property during the third quarter of 2015.

Non-Interest Expense

The Company had 376 full-time equivalent personnel at September 30, 2015 , as n oted, compared to 325 full-time equivalent personnel as of September 30, 2014 .  Company and Bank management will continue to strive to find new ways of increasing efficiencies and leveraging its resources, while effectively optimizing customer service.

Salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment , data processing and communications, mortgage processing and professional fees generate the core of the Company ’s noninterest expense. The Comp any’s efficiency ratio was 86.57 % for the third q uarter of 2015 compared to 89.57 % for the third quarter of 201 4 . This ratio measures the efficiency of noninterest expenses incurred in relationship to net interest income plus noninterest income.  The decreased efficiency ratio is the result of net interest income and noninterest income outpacing the growth in noninterest expense.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015 , noninterest expense totaled $16.4 million compared to $12.2 million for the same time period in 201 4. The $4.2 million increase in noninterest expense was mainly the result of the following:

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $2.6 million, this increase related to: the addition of new bank and mortgage offices, increased commissions related to increased mortgage production, additional staffing related to organic growth and raises for existing staff.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $327. This increase was mainly the result of the opening of multiple new bank and mortgage office locations, the completion of a new facility in Kanawha County, West Virginia and construction of a new facility in the West Virginia High Technology Park in Fairmont, Marion County, West Virginia.

Data processing and c ommunication costs increased $342 . This increase was largely driven by overall growth in terms of client base, personn el and office space, and the usage of new and enhanced products, services and providers to better serve the client base.

Mortgage processing costs increased $178 . This increase was primarily the result of increase mortgage loan volume.

47


Salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment , data processing and communications, mortgage processing and professional fees generate the core of the Company ’s noninterest expense. The Comp any’s efficiency ratio was 82.79 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 86.69 % for the same time period in 201 4 . This ratio measures the efficiency of noninterest expenses incurred in relationship to net interest income plus noninterest income.  The decreased efficiency ratio is the result of net interest income and noninterest income outpacing the growth in noninterest expense.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , noninterest expense totaled $47.1 million compared to $35.2 million for the same time period in 201 4. The $11.9 million increase in noninterest expense was mainly the result of the following:

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $7.8 million, this increase related to: the addition of new bank and mortgage offices, increased commissions related to increased mortgage production, additional staffing related to organic growth and raises for existing staff.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $1.0 million . This increase was mainly the result of the opening of multiple new bank and mortgage office locations, the completion of a new facility in Kanawha County, West Virginia and construction of a new facility in the West Virginia High Technology Park in Fairmont, Marion County, West Virginia.

Data processing and c ommunication costs increased $831 . This increase was largely driven by overall growth in terms of client base, personn el and office space, and the usage of new and enhanced products, services and providers to better serve the client base.

Professional fees increased $695. $228 of this increase was related to merger and acquisition related professional fees as discussed in Note 12. The remainder of the increase is related to a greater amount of IT and project management related professional fees.

Mortgage processing costs increased $604 . This increase was primarily the result of increase mortgage loan volume.

Return on Average Assets and Average Equity (Annualized)

Returns on average assets (ROA) and average e quity (ROE) annualized were .45% and 4.99 % for the third quarter of 201 5 compared to .20% and 1.95% in the third quarter of 201 4. The .25% increase in ROA is due to in creased earnings of $869 and a $180.8 million increase in average assets for the third quarter of 201 5 compared to the third quarter of 201 4 . The increase in average assets was primarily due to an increase in net loans due to continued loan growth. The 3.04% increase in ROE is also due to in creased earnings of $869 and a $2 . 4 million increase in average equity for the third quarter of 201 5 compared to the third quarter of 201 4 . The increase in average equity was mainly due increased earnings .

Overview of the Statement of Condition

The Company’s interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, and stockholders’ equity changed significantly during the third quarter of 201 5 compared to September 30, 201 4 . The most significant areas of change between the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 were as follows: net loans increased to an average balance of $ 1,004.6 million from $ 796.3 million, investment securities declined by $13.4 million to an average of $118.3 million, interest-bearing liabilities grew to an average balance of $ 1,046.0 million from $ 880.6 million and stockholders’ equity grew by $ 2.4 million to an average of $ 112.8 million.  These trends reflect the continued growth of the Company and its subsidiaries in the loan, deposit and capital areas.

Total assets at September 30, 2015 were $1,306.5 million or an increase of $195.4 million since December 31, 201 4 .  The greatest area of increa se was a $195.4 million increase in net loan growth.

48


Deposits totaled $1,018. 3 million at September 30, 2015 or an increase of $194.8 million since December 31, 201 4, mainly the result of an increase in savings, NOW and time deposits.

Stockholders’ equity h as increased approximately $4.7 million from December 31, 201 4 mainly due to earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $5.4 million .

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $25.1 million as of September 30, 2015 compared to $3 0.1 million as of December 31, 201 4.

Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate on a daily basis due to transactions in process and other liquidity and performance demands.  Management believes the liquidity needs of the Company are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional and non-traditional funding sources, and the portions of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year.  These sources of funds should enable the Company and the Bank to meet cash obligations as they come due.

Investment Securities

Investment securities totaled $ 121.1 million as of September 30, 2015 and $1 22.8 million as of December 31, 201 4 . The investment portfolio is fairly evenly balanced between government sponsored agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities.

During the second quarter 2015, the Bank sold a held-to-maturity investment security due to a credit downgrade. This type of sale is permissible in accordance with GAAP. Due to the significant deterioration in this issuer’s creditworthiness, we feel the sale does not taint our intentions in regards to the remainder of our held-to-maturity portfolio.

The Company and Bank management monitor the earnings performance and liquidity of the investment portfolio on a regular basis through Asset/Liability Committee meetings. The group also mo nitors net interest income and pricing guidelines, and manages interest rate risk for the bank. Through active balance sheet management and analysis of the investment securities portfolio, the bank maintains sufficient liquidity to satisfy depositor requirements and the various credit needs of its customers. The Company and Bank management believes the risk characteristics inherent in the investment portfolio are acceptable based on these parameters.

Loans

The Com pany’s loan portfolio totaled $994.8 million as of September 30, 2015 and $798 .3 million as of December 31, 201 4 . The Bank’s lending is primarily focused in the Marion, Harrison, Jefferson, Berkeley, Monongalia, and Kanawha counties of West Virginia , as well as the northern Virginia area for the mortgage and commercial lending business . Its extended market is in the adjacent counties. The portfolio consists principally of commercial lending, retail lending, which includes single-family residential mortgages, and consumer lending. The growth in loans is primarily attributable to organic growth within the Bank’s primary lending areas and northern Virginia in addition to loans acquired in the two branch acquisition as discussed in Note 12.

Loan Concentration

At September 30, 2015 , commercial loans comprised the largest component of the loan portfolio.  The majority of commercial loans that are not secured by real estate are lines of credit secured by accounts receivable and equipment and obligations of states and political subdivisions. While the loan concentration is in commercial loans, the commercial portfolio is comprised of loans to many different borrowers, in numerous different industries but primarily located in our market areas. The loan portfolio mix as of September 30, 2015 remains consistent with the mix as of December 31, 2014 .

49


Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses was $7 . 4 million or 0. 74 % of total loans at September 30, 2015 compared to $ 6.2 million or 0.7 8 % of total loans at December 31, 201 4 . The Bank management continually monitors the loan portfolio through review of the monthly delinquency reports and through the Bank Loan Review Committee.  The Bank Loan Review Committee is responsible for the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Their analysis involves both experience of the portfolio to date and the makeup of the overall portfolio.  Specific loss estimates are derived for individual loans based on specific criteria such as current delinquency status, related deposit account activity, where applicable, local market rumors, which are generally based on some factual information, and changes in the local and national economy.  While local market rumors are not measurable or perhaps not readily supportable, historically, this form of information can be an indication of a potential problem.  The allowance for loan losses is further based upon the internal risk rating assigned to the various loan types within the portfolio.

Capital Resources

The Company considers a number of alternatives, including but not limited to deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings when evaluating funding sources. Traditional deposits continue to be the most significant source of funds for the bank, reaching $1,018.0 million at September 30, 2015 .

Non-interest bearing deposits remain a core funding source for the Bank and, thus, the Company.  At September 30, 2015 , non-inte rest bearing deposits totaled $87.2 million compared to $6 7.1 million at December 31, 201 4 .  The Company and Bank management intend to continue to focus on finding ways to increase the base of non-interest bearing funding sources of the Bank and other Company subsidiaries.

Interest-bearing deposits totaled $930.7 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $756.2 million at December 31, 2014. Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $1,046.0 million during the third quarter of 2015 compared to $880.6 million for the third quarter of 2014.  This $165. 3 million increase is the result of the following: $81.5 million increase in CDs, $26.3 million increase in NOW, $28.4 million increase in MMDA, $34.1 million increase in FHLB and other borrowings and $10.6 million decrease in repurchase agreements and federal funds sold. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits totaled $84.3 million for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $72.8 million for the third quarter of 2014.  Management will continue to emphasize deposit gathering in 2015 by offering outstanding customer service and competitively priced products.  The Company and Bank management will also concentrate on balancing deposit growth with adequate net interest margin to meet the Company’s strategic goals.

Along with traditional deposits, the Bank has access to both repurchase agreements, which are corporate deposits secured by pledging securities from the investment portfolio, and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings to fund its operations and i nvestments.  At September 30, 2014, repurchase agreements totaled $26 . 6 million compared to $32 . 7 million at December 31, 20 14 .  In addition to the aforementioned funds alternatives, the B ank has access to more than $249.0 million through additional advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and the ability to readily sell jumbo certificates of deposits to other banks as well as brokered deposit markets.

Liquidity

The Company recognizes the importance of liquidity in the day-to-day operations of the Bank, and believes it is critical to have a plan for addressing liquidity in times of crisis, as well as prudently managing levels to maximize earnings.  The Bank has historically recognized the need for funding sources that go beyond the most important source which is retail deposit business.  The Company and the Bank have created a funding program that identifies various wholesale funding sources that may be used whenever appropriate.  These sources include the following: FHLB advances, brokered deposits, CDARS, repurchase agreements, internet CDs through Qwickrate, the Federal Reserve discount window, State of West Virginia CD auctions, and federal funds purchased through the Federal Reserve.  Limits have been set as to how much MVB will utilize each identified source.  The Bank currently utilizes several of the above . This allows the Bank to lower funding costs slightly while documenting the availability of each.

Current Economic Conditions

The current economic climate in West Virginia, and, in particular, in the six counties in which the Company and the Bank focuses possess slightly worse economic climates than the general national climate.  Unemploym ent in the United States was 5.2% and 6.3% in 2015 and 2014 , respectively.  The unemployment levels in the six West Virginia counties where MVB operates in were as follows for the periods indicated:

Capital/Stockholders’ Equity

The Company and the Bank have financed operations and growth over the years through the sale of equity.  These equity sales have resulted in an effective source of capital.

During 2013, the Company commenced a private offering to accredited investors under Rule 506 of Regulation D.  As of December 31, 2013, the Company had received subscriptions for 610,194 shares totaling $9.8 million in additional capital at December 31, 2013.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2014 the Company received additional subscriptions for 361,865 shares totaling $5.8 million in additional capital. The proceeds of this offering are being used to support continued growth of the Company.

At September 30, 2015 , accumulated other co mprehensive loss totaled $(2,315 ) compared to $(2, 642) at December 31, 2014 . This change is primarily the result in the rise of the change in the value of the unrealized loss on available for sale securities.

Treasury stock shares totaled 51,077 shares.

The Board of Directors of the Company approved a transition from a semi-annual dividend to a quarterly dividend on August 18, 2015 and declared its first quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2015, payable September 15, 2015.

The primary source of funds for dividends to be paid by the Company are dividends received by the Company from the Bank. Dividends paid by the Bank are subject to restrictions by banking regulations. The most restrictive provision requires regulatory approval if dividends declared in any year exceed that year’s retained net profits, as defined, plus the retained net profits, as defined, of the two preceding years.

Bank regulators have established “risk-based” capital requirements designed to measure capital adequacy.  Risk-based capital ratios reflect the relative risks of various assets banks hold in their portfolios.  A weight category of 0% (l owest risk assets), 20%, 50%, 100% or 150% (highest risk assets) is assigned to each asset on the balance sheet.  Detailed information concerning MVB’s risk-based capital ratios can be found in Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated

Financial Statements of the Company’s 201 4 Form 10-K. At September 30, 2015 , the Company’s and the Bank’s risk-based capital ratios exceeded the minimum standards for a well capitalized financial institution.

Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk necessary to meet the financing needs of customers and to manage its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement the bank has in these financial instruments.

Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of the Bank’s customers.  The Bank uses the same underwriting standards in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. The total amount of loan commitments outstanding at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $252.0 million and $143 . 2 million, respectively.

Market Risk

There have been no material changes in market risks faced by the Com pany since December 31, 2014 .  For information regarding the Company’s market risk, refer to the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 201 4 .

Effects of Inflation on Financial Statements

Substantially all of the Bank’s assets relate to banking and are monetary in nature. Therefore, they are not impacted by inflation to the same degree as companies in capital-intensive industries in a replacement cost environment. During a period of rising prices, a net monetary asset position results in loss in purchasing power and conversely a net monetary liability position results in an increase in purchasing power. In the banking industry, typically monetary assets exceed monetary liabilities. Therefore as prices increase, financial institutions experience a decline in the purchasing power of their net assets.

Future Outlook

The Company’s results of operations in the third quarter of 201 5 increased significantly compared to the third quarter of 2014 mainly due to an incr ease in noninterest income in the mortgage banking segment and an increase in net interest income in the commercial and retail banking segment . The Company has invested in the infrastructure to support envisioned future growth in each key area, including personnel, technology and processes to meet the growing compliance requirements in the industry. Commercial and retail loan production remains strong and mortgage and insurance have added staff and locations to ramp up production and improve profitability. The Company believes it is well positioned in some of the finest markets in the states of West Virginia and Virginia and will focus on doing the things that have made it successful thus far through the following: margin improvement; leveraging capital; organic portfolio loan growth; and operating efficiency. The critical challenge for the Company in the future is to attract core deposits to fund growth in the new markets through continued delivery of the most outstanding customer service with the highest quality products and technology .
