Quarterly Report


Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition at June 30, 2012 and results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report and in the 2011 Form 10-K. It should also be read in conjunction with the "Caution About Forward Looking Statements" section at the end of this discussion.

Overview

The Company is headquartered in Middleburg, Virginia and conducts its primary operations through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Middleburg Bank and Middleburg Investment Group, Inc., and a majority owned subsidiary, Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC. Middleburg Bank is a community bank serving the Virginia counties of Loudoun, Fairfax, Fauquier and


Index

western Prince William as well as the town of Williamsburg, Virginia and the city of Richmond, Virginia. The Bank operates eleven financial service centers and one limited service facility. Middleburg Investment Group is a non-bank holding company that was formed in the fourth quarter of 2005. It has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Middleburg Trust Company which is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, and maintains offices in Williamsburg, Virginia and in several of Middleburg Bank's facilities. Southern Trust Mortgage is a regional mortgage company headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia and maintains offices in Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

The Company operates under a business model that makes all of its financial and wealth management services available to its clients at all of its financial service centers. Financial service centers are larger than most traditional retail banking branches in order to allow commercial, mortgage, retail and wealth management personnel and services to be readily available to serve clients. By working together in the financial service center and the market, the team at each financial service center becomes more effective in expanding relationships with current clients and new clients. The Company's goal is to assist in the creation, preservation and ultimate transfer of the wealth of its clients.

The Company generates a significant amount of its income from the net interest income earned by Middleburg Bank. Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income depends on the amount of interest-earning assets outstanding during the period and the interest rates earned thereon. Middleburg Bank's cost of money is a function of the average amount of deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid thereon. The quality of the assets further influences the amount of interest income lost on non-accrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses. Middleburg Bank also generates income from fees on deposits and loans.

Middleburg Investment Group's subsidiary, Middleburg Trust Company, generates fee income by providing trust and investment management services to its clients. Investment management and trust fees are generally based upon the value of assets under administration and, therefore, can be significantly affected by fluctuation in the values of securities caused by changes in the capital markets.

Southern Trust Mortgage generates fees from the origination and sale of mortgage loans. Southern Trust Mortgage also maintains a real estate construction portfolio and receives interest and fee income from these loans, which, net of interest expense, is included in net interest income.

Net income attributable to Middleburg Financial Corporation for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased 37.5% to $3.3 million from $2.4 million over the same period in 2011. Net income attributable to Middleburg Financial Corporation for the second quarter increased 50.0% to $1.8 million from $1.2 million during the second quarter of 2011. Earnings per fully diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $0.48 per share versus $0.35 per share for the same period in 2011 and $0.25 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 versus $0.17 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Annualized return on total average assets for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was 0.60%, compared to 0.45% for the same period in 2011. Annualized return on total average equity of Middleburg Financial Corporation, which excludes the non-controlling interest in Southern Trust Mortgage, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was 6.57%, compared to 4.95% for the same period in 2011.

As a result of the evaluation of the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses, the Company increased its reserve for loan losses by $730,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to a provision of $1.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $9.7 million compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Total non-interest income increased $1.1 million to $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Total non-interest expenses increased approximately $400,000 to $13.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $12.9 million for the same period in 2011.

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act contains significant modifications to the current bank regulatory structure and requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new rules and regulations throughout 2012 and beyond. While not fully determinable at this time, the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act and the rules and regulations that will be promulgated thereunder could significantly affect our operations, increase our operating costs and divert management resources. Other than the potential impact of this legislation, the Company is not aware of any current recommendations by any regulatory authorities that, if implemented, would have a material effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

The financial condition and results of operations presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and this section are, to a large degree, dependent upon the accounting policies of the Company. The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.

Presented below is discussion of those accounting policies that management believes are the most important ("Critical Accounting Policies") to the portrayal and understanding of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Critical Accounting Policies require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Middleburg Bank monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Middleburg Bank maintains policies and procedures that address the systems of controls over the following areas of maintenance of the allowance: the systematic methodology used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance to provide assurance they are maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; the accounting policies for loan charge-offs and recoveries; the assessment and measurement of impairment in the loan portfolio; and the loan grading system.

Middleburg Bank evaluates various loans individually for impairment as required by applicable accounting standards. Loans evaluated individually for impairment include non-performing loans, such as loans on non-accrual, loans past due by 90 days or more, restructured loans and other loans selected by management. The evaluations are based upon discounted expected cash flows or collateral valuations. If the evaluation shows that a loan is individually impaired, then a specific reserve is established for the amount of impairment. If a loan evaluated individually is not impaired, then the loan is assessed for impairment with a group of loans that have similar characteristics.

For loans without individual measures of impairment, Middleburg Bank makes estimates of losses for groups of loans as required by applicable accounting standards. Loans are grouped by similar characteristics, including the type of loan, the assigned loan grade and the general collateral type. A loss rate reflecting the expected loss inherent in a group of loans is derived based upon estimates of default rates for a given loan grade, the predominant collateral type for the group and the terms of the loan. The resulting estimate of losses for groups of loans are adjusted for relevant environmental factors and other conditions of the portfolio of loans, including: borrower and industry concentrations; levels and trends in delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries; changes in underwriting standards and risk selection; level of experience, ability and depth of lending management; and national and local economic conditions.

The amount of estimated impairment for individually evaluated loans and groups of loans is added together for a total estimate of loan losses. This estimate of losses is compared to the allowance for loan losses of Middleburg Bank as of the evaluation date and, if the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be made. If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the estimate is evaluated to determine whether the allowance falls outside a range of estimates. If the estimate of losses is below the range of reasonable estimates, the allowance would be reduced by way of a credit to the provision for loan losses. Middleburg Bank recognizes the inherent imprecision in estimates of losses due to various uncertainties and variability related to the factors used, and therefore a reasonable range around the estimate of losses is derived and used to ascertain whether the allowance is too high. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail and it is determined that the allowance is not adequate to absorb the new estimate of probable losses, an additional provision for loan losses would be made, which amount may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Intangibles and Goodwill

The Company had approximately $6.1 million in intangible assets and goodwill at June 30, 2012, a decrease of $86,000 or 1.4% since December 31, 2011 which was attributable to regular amortization of intangible assets.

On April 1, 2002, the Company acquired Middleburg Investment Advisors for $6.0 million. Approximately $5.9 million of the purchase price was allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. In connection with this investment, a purchase price valuation was completed to determine the appropriate allocation to identified intangibles. The valuation concluded that approximately 42% of the purchase price was related to the acquisition of customer relationships with an amortizable life of 15


Index

years. Another 19% of the purchase price was allocated to a non-compete agreement with an amortizable life of seven years. The remainder of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill. On January 3, 2011, Middleburg Investment Advisors was merged into Middleburg Trust Company and its goodwill balance is reflected in the total goodwill balance reported for Middleburg Investment Group of $3.4 million. The remaining balance of unamortized identified intangible assets related to the acquisition of Middleburg Investment Advisors is approximately $814,000. Approximately $1.0 million of the $6.1 million in total intangible assets and goodwill at June 30, 2012 was attributable directly to the Company's investment in Middleburg Trust Company exclusive of the goodwill related to the former Middleburg Investment Advisors. With the consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage, the Company recognized $1.9 million in goodwill as part of its equity investment.

The purchase price allocation process requires management estimates and judgment as to expectations for the life span of various customer relationships as well as the value that key members of management add to the success of the Company. For example, customer attrition rates were determined based upon assumptions that the past five years may predict the future. If the actual attrition rates, among other assumptions, differed from the estimates and judgments used in the purchase price allocation, the amounts recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill or require acceleration in the amortization expense.

In addition, current accounting standards permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two step goodwill impairment test. If a two step process is necessary, the first step is to identify whether or not any impairment exists. The second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The most recent evaluation of the Company's goodwill balance was conducted as of December 31, 2011.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company recognized two consolidated subsidiaries as reporting units for the purpose of goodwill evaluation and reporting: Southern Trust Mortgage ("STM") and Middleburg Investment Group ("MIG"). MIG is the parent company of Middleburg Trust Company and the former Middleburg Investment Advisors. The following table shows the allocation of goodwill between the two reporting units and the percentage by which the fair value of each reporting unit as of December 31, 2011 (the most recent fair value evaluation date) exceeded the carrying value as of that date. Management does not believe the estimated fair values have changed significantly from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2012.

(1) Reported amounts reflect only Middleburg Financial Corporation shareholders' ownership interests. Estimated fair values are as of December 31, 2011. Management does not believe the estimated fair values have changed significantly from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2012.

(2) Includes $900,000 of amortizing intangible assets at December 31, 2011.

Management estimates fair value utilizing multiple methodologies which include discounted cash flows, comparable companies, third-party sale and assets under management analysis. Determining the fair value of the Company's reporting units requires management to make judgments and assumptions related to various items, including estimates of future operating results, allocations of indirect expenses, and discount rates. Management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, the fair value of each reporting unit could be different in the future if actual results or market conditions differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

The Company's forecasted cash flows for its reporting units assume a stable economic environment and consistent long-term growth in loan originations and assets under management over the projected periods. Additionally, expenses are assumed to be consistently correlated with projected asset and revenue growth over the time periods projected. Although we believe the key assumptions underlying the financial forecasts to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the forecasted results


Index

will be realized and variations from the forecast may be material. If weak economic conditions continue or worsen for a prolonged period of time, or if the reporting unit loses key personnel, the fair value of the reporting unit may be adversely affected which may result in impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets in the future. Any changes in the key management estimates or judgments could result in an impairment charge, and such a charge could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI)

There were no losses related to other-than-temporary impairment on trust-preferred securities for the six months ended June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, the Company had an amortized cost basis of $244,000 in trust-preferred securities in its portfolio with a fair value of $111,000.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we determine the other-than-temporary impairment for the trust preferred securities in the securities portfolio based on an evaluation of the underlying collateral. We developed cash flow projections based upon assumptions of default/deferral rates, recovery rates and prepayment rates for the collateral. The present value of the projected cash flows was calculated by discounting the projected cash flows using the effective yield at purchase in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Finally, the present values of the projected cash flows were compared to the carrying values of the securities. If the present values were less than the carrying value, we determined that the security had an other-than-temporary impairment equal to the difference between the present value and the carrying value of the bond.

The Company may need to recognize other-than-temporary impairments related to trust preferred securities during the remainder of 2012. We evaluate default assumptions and cash flow projections in relation to the credit performance of the collateral that underlies the trust preferred securities. Should additional deferrals/defaults occur on the collateral, projected cash flows from the collateral could be reduced which could result in other-than-temporary impairments in 2012.

Financial Condition

Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity

Total assets for the Company were $1.2 billion at June 30, 2012, an increase of $25.9 million or 2.2% compared to total assets at December 31, 2011. Total average assets increased 8.7% from $1.09 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $1.19 billion for the same period in 2012. Total liabilities were $1.11 billion at June 30, 2012, compared to $1.08 billion at December 31, 2011. Total average liabilities increased $85.8 million or 8.7% to $1.08 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $991.4 million for the same period in 2011. Average shareholders' equity increased 9.7% or $9.6 million over the same periods.

Loans

Total loans, including loans held for sale at June 30, 2012 were at $753.9 million, lower by $10 million from the December 31, 2011 amount of $763.9 million. Loans held for sale decreased to $67.9 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $92.5 million at December 31, 2011, a decrease of 26.5% during the period. The primary reason for the decrease in loans held for sale was a decrease in mortgage originations during the second quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Southern Trust Mortgage originated $444.6 million in loans for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $289.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The Company experienced an increase in real estate construction loans, which were $49.4 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $42.2 million at December 31, 2011. Real estate mortgage loans of $515.9 million at June 30, 2012 increased from the December 31, 2011 amount of $512.2 million. Commercial loans, which are primarily loans to businesses, increased to $98.7 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $94.4 million at December 31, 2011. Net charge-offs were $1.18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 versus $1.43 million for the same period in 2011. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $1.5 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2011 and $730,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2012 was $14.9 million or 2.18% of total loans outstanding, excluding loans held for sale, compared to $14.6 million and 2.18% at December 31, 2011.

The Company utilizes the ratios included in the above table to evaluate the relative level of nonperforming assets included in the Company's balance sheet. Changes in the ratios assist management in evaluating the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and any reserve against other real estate owned.

Our accounting policy for foreclosed property does not include any allowance for loan loss amounts subsequent to the reclassification event which writes the loan down to fair value when moved into foreclosed property.

The following table depicts the transactions, in summary form, that occurred to the allowance for loan losses in each period presented:
