AMERICAN NATIONAL BANKSHARES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009

 
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American National Bankshares Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, American National Bank and Trust Company (collectively referred to as the “Company”).  American National Bank offers a wide variety of retail, commercial, secondary market mortgage lending, and trust and investment services which also include non-deposit products such as mutual funds and insurance policies.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of foreclosed real estate.

In April 2006, AMNB Statutory Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust (“the Trust”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing preferred securities (“the Trust Preferred Securities”) in a private placement pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration.  Proceeds from the securities were used to fund the acquisition of Community First Financial Corporation (“Community First”) which occurred in April 2006.  Refer to Note 9 for further details concerning this variable interest entity.

All significant inter-company transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation, with the exception of the Trust, as detailed in Note 9.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals  necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2009; the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008; the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008; and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine  months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.  Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the year ending December 31, 2009.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current period presentation.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
 

 
Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)) (ASC 805 Business Combinations). The Standard significantly changed the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions.  SFAS 141(R) establishes principles for how an acquirer recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  SFAS 141(R) is effective for acquisition dates on or after the beginning of an entity’s first year that begins after December 15, 2008.  The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 141(R) to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, at this time.
 
 
8

 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (ASC 805 Business Combinations).  FSP FAS 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies SFAS 141(R) to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination.  The FSP is effective for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased.  The FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly.  FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively.  Earlier adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (ASC 825 Financial Instruments and ASC 270 Interim Reporting).  FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements.  In addition, the FSP amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.  The FSP is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (ASC 320 Investments – Debt and Equity Securities).  FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities.  The FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities.  FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In April 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 111 (SAB 111).  SAB 111 amends and replaces SAB Topic 5.M. in the SAB Series entitled “Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.”  SAB 111 maintains the SEC Staff’s previous views related to equity securities and amends Topic 5.M. to exclude debt securities from its scope.  The Company does not expect the implementation of SAB 111 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (ASC 855 Subsequent Events).  SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 165 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
9

 
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (ASC 860 Transfers and Servicing).  SFAS 166 provides guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a report entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 166 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (ASC 810 Consolidation). SFAS 167 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities.  SFAS 167 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009.   Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 167 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
 In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (ASC 105 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).  SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification which will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  SFAS 168 is effective immediately. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 168 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 09-1, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing” (ASC 470 Debt).  EITF Issue No. 09-1 clarifies how an entity should account for an own-share lending arrangement that is entered into in contemplation of a convertible debt offering.  EITF Issue No. 09-1 is effective for arrangements entered into on or after June 15, 2009. Early adoption is prohibited.  The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF Issue No. 09-1 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In June 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 112 (SAB 112). SAB 112 revises or rescinds portions of the interpretative guidance included in the codification of SABs in order to make the interpretive guidance consistent with current U.S. GAAP.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 112 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05 (ASU 2009-05), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.” ASU 2009-05 amends Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall,” and provides clarification for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period including interim period beginning after issuance.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-05 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-12 (ASU 2009-12), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).” ASU 2009-12 provides guidance on estimating the fair value of alternative investments. ASU 2009-12 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-12 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-15 (ASU 2009-15), “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing.” ASU 2009-15 amends Subtopic 470-20 to expand accounting and reporting guidance for own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of convertible debt issuance. ASU 2009-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
In October 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Release No. 33-99072, “Internal Control over Financial Reporting in Exchange Act Periodic Reports of Non-Accelerated Filers.” Release No. 33-99072 delays the requirement for non-accelerated filers to include an attestation report of their independent auditor on internal control over financial reporting with their annual report until the fiscal year ending on or after June 15, 2010.

The Corporation’s investment in Federal Home loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock totaled $2,812,000 at September 30, 2009. FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long term investment and as a restricted investment security which is carried at cost, because there is no market for the stock other than the FHLB or member institutions. Therefore, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value.

The tables below show estimated fair value and gross unrealized losses, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.  The date for determining when securities are in an unrealized loss position is month-end.  Therefore, it is possible that a security’s market value exceeded its amortized cost on other days during the past twelve-month period.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment quarterly, and more frequently if economic or market concerns warrant.  Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and whether the Company intends to sell the security or may be required to sell the security prior to maturity or does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost even if the Company does not intend to sell.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company held three securities that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or more.  The Company has reviewed these securities for other-than-temporary impairment, and does not consider the balances presented in the table to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2009.

Note 6 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In January 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 (ASC 805), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  Accordingly, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value test.   A fair value-based test was performed during the third quarter of 2009 that determined there has been no impairment in the value of goodwill.
 
   The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, are as follows (in thousands):

Balance as of December 31, 2008

Note 7 – Short-term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings consist of customer repurchase agreements, overnight borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), and Federal Funds purchased.  Customer repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities of the U.S. Government, its agencies or Government Sponsored Enterprises (“GSE”).  They mature daily.  The interest rates may be changed at the discretion of the Company.  FHLB overnight borrowings have floating interest rates that may change daily at the discretion of the FHLB.  Federal Funds purchased are unsecured overnight borrowings from other financial institutions.  Short-term borrowings consisted of the following as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

Note 9 – Trust Preferred Capital Notes

On April 7, 2006, AMNB Statutory Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $20,000,000 of preferred securities in a private placement pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration.  The Trust Preferred Securities mature on September 30, 2036, but may be redeemed at the Company’s option beginning on September 30, 2011.  The securities require quarterly distributions by the Trust to the holder of the Trust Preferred Securities at a fixed rate of 6.66%.  Effective September 30, 2011, the rate will reset quarterly at the three-month LIBOR plus 1.35%.  Distributions are cumulative and will accrue from the date of original issuance, but may be deferred by the Company from time to time for up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods.  The Company has guaranteed the payment of all required distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities.

The proceeds of the Trust Preferred Securities received by the Trust, along with proceeds of $619,000 received by the Trust from the issuance of common securities by the Trust to the Company, were used to purchase $20,619,000 of the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities (the “Trust Preferred Capital Notes”), issued pursuant to a Junior Subordinated Indenture entered into between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee.  The proceeds of the Trust Preferred Capital Notes were used to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration to the former shareholders of Community First in connection with the Company’s acquisition of that company, and for general corporate purposes.  In accordance with the accounting pronouncement, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, the Company did not eliminate through consolidation the Corporation’s $619,000 equity investment in AMNB Statutory Trust I.  Instead, the Company reflected this equity investment in the “Accrued interest receivable and other assets” line item in the consolidated balance sheets.
