MVB Financial Corp. (the “Company”) is filing this Form 10-Q/A as an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Current Report on Form 10-Q which reported quarterly results and activities pursuant for the period ending March 31, 2014, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2014 (the “Original 10-Q”).  This Amendment No. 1 to the Original 10-Q is being filed to update Part II, Item 2 (Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds) with the information contained  in the Original 10-Q in Note 7 of Part I, Item 2 (Financial Statements), as this information for Part II, Item 2, which should have been identical to Note 7 of Part I, Item 2, was inadvertently omitted in the initial filing.

 

Except for the foregoing, this Amendment does not amend the Original 10-Q in any way and does not modify or update any other disclosures contained in the Original 10-Q.  Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-Q.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

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 balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

 

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 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.

 

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 has been extracted from audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2013 filing on Form 10-K. 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, 2013, 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. In addition, all share amounts have been revised to reflect the two for one stock split effected as a stock dividend as disclosed in Note 12.

 

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

 

Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” The objective of this guidance is to clarify when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU No. 2014-04 states that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on MVB Financials Corp’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investment securities with a carrying value of $154,958 at March 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2014, the details of which are included in the following table.  Although these securities, if sold at March 31, 2014 would result in a pretax loss of $3,872, 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 March 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2014 and 2013, net deferred fees and costs of $1,613 and $974, respectively, were included in the carryings value of loans.

 

During late 2013, the Bank purchased $74.3 million in commercial loans in the northern Virginia area, that were marked to fair value at the time they were recorded on the balance sheet.

Bank management evaluates individual loans in all of the commercial segments for possible impairment.  Loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank 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 Bank management in evaluating impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Bank 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.  The Bank also separately evaluates individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment.

 

Once the determination has been made that a loan is impaired, the determination of whether a specific allocation of the allowance is necessary is measured by comparing the recorded investment in the loan to the fair value of the loan using one of three methods:  (a) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (b) the loan’s observable market price; or (c) the fair value of the collateral less selling costs.  The method is selected on a loan-by-loan basis, with management primarily utilizing the fair value of collateral method.  The evaluation of the need and amount of a specific allocation of the allowance and whether a loan can be removed from impairment status is made on a quarterly basis. 

 

The following table presents impaired loans by class, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and those for which a specific allowance was not necessary as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

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 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 Bank’s Credit Department performs an annual review of all commercial relationships $1,000,000 or greater.  Confirmation of the appropriate risk grade is included in the review 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (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 classes described above, 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.  Commercial, Mortgage and Consumer 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.

 

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.

 

Historically, management has utilized an internally developed spreadsheet to track and apply the various components of the allowance.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

The restructuring of a loan is considered a “troubled debt restructuring” 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.  Troubled debt restructurings during 2014 and 2013 are set forth in the following table.  No TDR’s have defaulted.

 

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Bank had specific reserve allocations for TDR’s of $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

 

The following table presents details related to loans identified as Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Subordinated Debt

 

In March 2007, the Company completed the private placement of $4 million Floating Rate, Trust Preferred Securities 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 Company reflects borrowed funds in the amount of $4.1 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and interest expense of $19 and $20 for the 3 months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

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.

 

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.  All measurements are made on a recurring basis, with the exception of loans held for sale, derivative on loans held for sale, other real estate and impaired loans, which are measured on a non-recurring basis.

 

The following tables present the assets reported on the consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 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.

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 non-recurring basis during 2014

and 2013 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 assets which, subsequent to their initial recognition, were remeasured at fair value through a write-down included in other non-interest expense.

 

·                  Loans held for sale — Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market 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 price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level II).

 

·                  Derivative on loans held for sale - Derivatives on loans held for sale are used to mitigate interest rate risk for residential mortgage loans held for sale and interest rate locks. 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. The Company’s mortgage banking hedge instruments are classified as Level II.  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. All of the Company’s mortgage interest rate locks are classified as Level II.

 

·                  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.
