Dear Community Bankers Acquisition Corp. Stockholder:
You are cordially invited to attend the special meeting of the
stockholders of Community Bankers Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation (Community Bankers). The special meeting
will be held
on ,
2008, at .m., local time,
at .
At the special meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote
on (1) a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of December 13, 2007, by and between
Community Bankers Acquisition Corp. and BOE Financial Services
of Virginia, Inc.; (2) a proposal to adopt an amendment to
the certificate of incorporation of Community Bankers to reset
the terms of the classes of Community Bankers directors,
effective upon consummation of the merger with BOE; and
(3) a proposal to authorize the board of directors to
adjourn the special meeting to allow time for further
solicitation of proxies.
Adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Community Bankers common stock entitled to vote at the special
meeting.
Adoption of the amendment to the certificate of incorporation
requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of
Community Bankers outstanding common stock entitled to
vote at the special meeting.
Authorization for the board of directors to adjourn the special
meeting until a later date requires the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the shares of Community Bankers common
stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to
vote at the special meeting, whether or not a quorum is present.
Each of these proposals is more fully described in the
accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus.
The Community Bankers board of directors has unanimously
determined that each of the proposals and the merger with BOE
are in the best interests of Community Bankers and its
stockholders. The board of directors recommends that you vote,
or give instruction to vote, FOR the adoption
of each of the proposals.
Enclosed is a notice of special meeting and the joint proxy
statement/prospectus containing detailed information concerning
the merger proposal and the transactions contemplated by the
merger agreement, as well as detailed information concerning
each of the proposals. We urge you to read the joint proxy
statement/prospectus and attached annexes carefully.
Your vote is important. Because adoption of the merger agreement
and the amendment to the certificate of incorporation requires
the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Community Bankers common stock entitled to vote at the meeting,
your failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote against
these proposals. Whether or not you plan to attend the special
meeting in person, please sign, date and return the enclosed
proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided.
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
Sincerely,
Eugene S. Putnam, Jr.

Dear BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc. Stockholder:
You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of the
stockholders of BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc.
(BOE). The special meeting will be held
on ,
2008,
at .m.,
local time,
at .
At the special meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote
on a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
December 13, 2007, by and between BOE and Community Bankers
Acquisition Corp. You will also be asked to vote on a proposal
to authorize the board of directors to adjourn the special
meeting to allow time for further solicitation of proxies,
should that be necessary.
Approval of the merger proposal requires approval by more than
two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast by the holders of
BOE common stock.
Approval of the proposal to authorize the board of directors to
adjourn the special meeting until a later date requires the
votes cast favoring the action to exceed the votes cast opposing
the action, whether or not a quorum is present.
Each of these proposals is more fully described in the
accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus.
The BOE board of directors has determined unanimously that the
proposals and the merger are in the best interests of BOE and
its stockholders. The board of directors recommends that you
vote, or give instruction to vote, FOR the
adoption of each of the proposals.
Enclosed is a notice of special meeting and the joint proxy
statement/prospectus containing detailed information concerning
the merger proposal and the transactions contemplated by the
merger agreement. We urge you to read the joint proxy
statement/prospectus and attached annexes carefully.
Your vote is important. Because approval of the merger proposal
requires more than two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast
by the holders of BOE common stock, abstaining from voting
(including by way of a broker non-vote), either in person or by
proxy, will have the same effect as a vote against approval of
the merger agreement. Whether or not you plan to attend the
special meeting in person, please sign, date and return the
enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope
provided. We look forward to seeing you at the special
meeting, and we appreciate your continued loyalty and support.

JOINT
PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
FOR THE
PROPOSED MERGER OF
COMMUNITY BANKERS ACQUISITION CORP.
AND
BOE FINANCIAL SERVICES OF VIRGINIA, INC.
The boards of directors of Community Bankers Acquisition Corp.
and BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc. have unanimously
agreed to a merger of our companies. If the proposed merger is
completed, BOE stockholders will receive 5.7278 shares of
Community Bankers common stock for each share of BOE common
stock they own, subject to possible adjustment as described in
this joint proxy statement/prospectus. This 5.7278 multiple, as
it may be adjusted, is referred to as the exchange
ratio.
Community Bankers was formed to effect a merger, capital stock
exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business
combination with an operating business in the banking industry.
Its common stock is listed on the American Stock Exchange under
the symbol BTC. BOE common stock is listed on the
Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol BSXT. Based
on the closing price of Community Bankers common stock
on ,
2008 of $ , BOE stockholders will
receive approximately $ worth of
Community Bankers common stock for each share of BOE stock they
own. The actual value of the Community Bankers common stock
received by BOE stockholders in the merger will depend on the
market value of Community Bankers common stock at the time of
closing.
This joint proxy statement/prospectus provides detailed
information about the merger and the special meeting of
Community Bankers stockholders and the special meeting of BOE
stockholders. It also provides information about the Community
Bankers common stock to be issued to BOE stockholders in the
event the merger is approved. As described in this proxy
statement/prospectus, we cannot complete the merger unless we
obtain the necessary government approvals and unless the
stockholders of both Community Bankers and BOE approve the
merger proposal.
In addition to the proposed merger of Community Bankers with
BOE, Community Bankers has entered into an agreement and plan of
merger, dated as of September 5, 2007, with TransCommunity
Financial Corporation, a financial holding company based in Glen
Allen, Virginia. TransCommunity common stock is quoted on the
OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol TCYF.OB.
Although the stockholders of BOE will not be voting on Community
Bankers proposed merger with TransCommunity at its special
meeting, this joint proxy statement/prospectus contains certain
information about TransCommunity, and the proposed merger with
TransCommunity. Community Bankers must complete its merger with
TransCommunity prior to closing its merger with BOE. If
Community Bankers does not complete its merger with
TransCommunity by June 7, 2008, Community Bankers will be
forced to dissolve and liquidate and will not be able to close
the merger with BOE.
Please carefully review and consider this joint proxy
statement/prospectus which explains the merger proposal in
detail, including the discussion under the heading Risk
Factors beginning on page . It is
important that your shares are represented at your stockholders
meeting, whether or not you plan to attend. Accordingly, please
complete, date, sign, and return promptly your proxy card in the
enclosed envelope. You may attend the meeting and vote your
shares in person if you wish, even if you have previously
returned your proxy.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state
securities commission has approved or disapproved the securities
to be issued under this joint proxy statement/prospectus or
determined if this joint proxy statement/prospectus is truthful
or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal
offense.
This joint proxy statement/prospectus is
dated ,
2008. It is first being mailed to Community Bankers and
BOEs stockholders on or
about ,
2008.

QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS FOR ALL STOCKHOLDERS
|
|
|
Q: |
|
Why is BOE merging with and into Community Bankers? |
|
A: |
|
BOE is merging with and into Community Bankers because the
boards of directors of both companies believe that the merger
will provide stockholders of both companies with substantial
benefits and enable Community Bankers, following the completion
of its merger with TransCommunity, to use BOE as a growth
platform to build a larger banking franchise and further
increase the operating efficiencies and the growth opportunities
of the surviving corporation. It is anticipated that
TransCommunity Bank, N.A., the bank subsidiary of
TransCommunity, will merge with and into Bank of Essex, the bank
subsidiary of BOE, in the event Community Bankers merger
with BOE is consummated. A detailed discussion of the background
of and reasons for the proposed merger is contained under the
headings The Merger Background of the
Merger, The Merger Community
Bankers Reasons for the Merger, and The
Merger BOEs Reasons for the Merger. |
|
Q: |
|
How does the board recommend that I vote on the merger? |
|
A: |
|
You are being asked to vote FOR the approval
of the merger of BOE with and into Community Bankers pursuant to
the terms of the merger agreement. The board of directors of
each of Community Bankers and BOE has unanimously determined
that the proposed merger is in the best interests of its
stockholders, unanimously approved the merger agreement and
unanimously recommend that its stockholders vote
FOR the approval of the merger. |
|
Q: |
|
What vote is required to approve the merger? |
|
A: |
|
Community Bankers. Pursuant to Delaware law,
adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Community Bankers common stock entitled to vote at the special
meeting. As of the Community Bankers record date, there were
shares of Community Bankers common stock outstanding.
Because a majority vote of all outstanding shares of Community
Bankers common stock is required to adopt the merger
agreement, your failure to vote will have the same effect as a
vote against the merger proposal. |
|
|
|
BOE. Pursuant to Virginia law, approval of the
merger proposal requires approval by more than two-thirds of all
votes entitled to be cast by holders of BOE common stock. As of
the BOE record date, there were
shares of BOE common stock outstanding. Because a two-thirds
vote of all outstanding shares of BOE common stock is required
to approve the merger, your failure to vote will have the same
effect as a vote against the merger proposal. |
|
Q: |
|
What is required for Community Bankers to complete the merger
with BOE? |
|
A: |
|
In order to complete the merger with BOE, the approval of the
Community Bankers and BOE stockholders and the necessary
regulatory approvals must be received. Community Bankers filed
applications for approval to merge with BOE with the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or the Federal Reserve,
and the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the Virginia State
Corporation Commission on January 25, 2008. In addition,
Community Bankers must complete its merger with TransCommunity
prior to closing its merger with BOE. |
|
Q: |
|
What happens if the merger with TransCommunity is not
completed? |
|
A: |
|
If the merger with TransCommunity is not completed, then the
merger with BOE cannot be consummated. In addition, if Community
Bankers does not effect the merger with TransCommunity by
June 7, 2008, Community Bankers must dissolve and liquidate. |
|
Q: |
|
Why must Community Bankers complete its merger with
TransCommunity prior to closing its merger with BOE? |
|
A: |
|
The merger with TransCommunity is an initial business
combination under Community Bankers certificate of
incorporation and therefore must be completed prior to the
closing of the merger with BOE. As Community Bankers must
dissolve and liquidate if the merger with TransCommunity is not
completed by June 7, 2008, it would not be advisable to
complete the merger with BOE prior to completing the merger with
TransCommunity. |

|
|
|
Q: |
|
What should I do now? |
|
A: |
|
After you have carefully read this joint proxy
statement/prospectus, please indicate on your proxy card how you
want to vote, and then date, sign and mail your proxy card in
the enclosed envelope as soon as possible so that your shares
will be represented at the meeting. If you date, sign and send
in a proxy card but do not indicate how you want to vote, your
proxy will be voted in favor of the merger proposal. |
|
Q: |
|
If my shares are held in street name by my
broker, will my broker vote my shares for me? |
|
A: |
|
It depends. A broker holding your shares in street
name must vote those shares according to any specific
instructions it receives from you. You should instruct your
broker how to vote your shares following the directions your
broker provides. If specific instructions are not received, in
certain limited circumstances your broker may vote your shares
in its discretion. On certain routine matters,
brokers have authority to vote their customers shares if
their customers do not provide voting instructions. When brokers
vote their customers shares on a routine matter without
receiving voting instructions, these shares are counted both for
establishing a quorum to conduct business at the meeting and in
determining the number of shares voted FOR or
AGAINST the routine matter. On
non-routine matters, brokers cannot vote the shares
on that proposal if they have not received voting instructions
from the beneficial owner of such shares. If you hold your
shares in street name, you can either obtain
physical delivery of the shares into your name, and then vote
your shares yourself, or request a legal proxy
directly from your broker and bring it to the special meeting,
and then vote your shares yourself. In order to obtain shares
directly into your name, you must contact your brokerage house
representative. Brokerage firms may assess a fee for your
conversion; the amount of such fee varies from firm to firm. |
|
|
|
Community Bankers. Your broker may not vote
your shares, unless you provide voting instructions, with regard
to adoption of the merger agreement, adoption of the amendment
to the certificate of incorporation and the proposal to adjourn
the special meeting to allow time for further solicitation of
proxies in the event there are insufficient votes present at the
meeting to approve the proposals, since these matters are not
routine. Failure to instruct your broker how to vote your shares
will have the same effect as a vote against the adoption of the
merger agreement and the adoption of the amendment to the
certificate of incorporation, but will have no effect on the
proposal to adjourn the special meeting to allow time for
further solicitation of proxies in the event there are
insufficient votes present at the meeting to approve the
proposals. |
|
|
|
BOE. Your broker may not vote your shares,
unless you provide voting instructions, with regard to approval
of the merger proposal and the proposal to adjourn the special
meeting to allow time for further solicitation of proxies in the
event there are insufficient votes present at the meeting to
approve the merger proposal, since these matters are not
routine. Failure to instruct your broker how to vote your shares
will have the same effect as a vote against the merger proposal,
but will have no effect on the proposal to adjourn the special
meeting to allow time for further solicitation of proxies in the
event there are insufficient votes present at the meeting to
approve the merger proposal. |
|
Q: |
|
Can I change my vote after I have submitted my proxy? |
|
A: |
|
Yes. There are a number of ways you can change your
vote. First, you may send a written notice to the person to whom
you submitted your proxy stating that you would like to revoke
your proxy. Second, you may complete and submit a later-dated
proxy with new voting instructions. The latest vote actually
received by Community Bankers or BOE prior to the applicable
special meetings, will be your vote. Any earlier votes will be
revoked. Third, you may attend the applicable special meeting
and vote in person. Any earlier votes will be revoked. Simply
attending the applicable special meeting without voting,
however, will not revoke your proxy. If you have instructed a
broker to vote your shares, you must follow the directions you
will receive from your broker to change or revoke your proxy. |

|
|
Q: |
|
Must Community Bankers complete its proposed merger with
TransCommunity prior to closing the merger with BOE? |
|
A: |
|
Yes. Community Bankers must complete its merger with
TransCommunity prior to closing its merger with BOE. If
Community Bankers does not complete its merger with
TransCommunity by June 7, 2008, Community Bankers will be
forced to dissolve and liquidate and will not be able to close
the merger with BOE. |
|
Q: |
|
When do you expect to complete the merger of Community
Bankers and BOE? |
|
A: |
|
We presently expect to complete the merger in the second quarter
of 2008. However, we cannot assure you when or if the merger
will occur. We must first obtain the approval of Community
Bankers and BOEs stockholders at their respective
special meetings and receive the necessary regulatory approvals,
and Community Bankers must complete the merger with
TransCommunity. |
|
Q: |
|
Whom should I contact with questions about the merger of
Community Bankers and BOE? |
|
A: |
|
If you want additional copies of this joint proxy
statement/prospectus, or if you want to ask questions about the
merger, you should contact: |

QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS FOR COMMUNITY BANKERS STOCKHOLDERS
|
|
|
Q: |
|
Why is Community Bankers proposing the merger? |
|
A: |
|
Community Bankers was organized for the purpose of effecting a
business combination with an operating business in the banking
industry. Community Bankers believes that BOE, a registered bank
holding company, is positioned for significant growth in its
current and expected future markets and believes that following
the completion of its merger with TransCommunity a business
combination with BOE will provide Community Bankers stockholders
with an opportunity to participate in a company with significant
potential and will further enhance the management expertise,
operating efficiencies and growth opportunities of the surviving
corporation. |
|
Q: |
|
What is being proposed, other than the merger, to be voted on
at the Community Bankers special meeting? |
|
A: |
|
At the annual meeting of stockholders
on , 2008, Community Bankers
stockholders are being asked to adopt two amendments to the
certificate of incorporation to be effected upon consummation of
the merger with TransCommunity: an amendment to reset the terms
of the classes of Community Bankers directors and an
amendment to change the corporations name to
Community Bankers Trust Corporation. At the
special meeting, Community Bankers is asking its stockholders to
adopt an additional amendment to the certificate of
incorporation, the purpose of which is to further reset the
terms of the various classes of Community Bankers directors.
Community Bankers is also asking its stockholders to authorize
the board of directors to adjourn the special meeting to allow
time for further solicitation of proxies in the event there are
insufficient votes present at the meeting to approve the
proposals. |
|
|
|
Unless Community Bankers and BOE agree otherwise, the merger
will only be consummated if the stockholders of Community
Bankers adopt the amendment to the certificate of incorporation.
In addition, the amendment to the certificate of incorporation
will only be effected in the event and at the time the merger
with BOE is consummated. |
|
Q: |
|
What will Community Bankers stockholders receive in the
proposed merger? |
|
A: |
|
Community Bankers stockholders will receive nothing in the
merger. Community Bankers stockholders will continue to hold the
same number of shares of Community Bankers common stock that
they owned prior to the merger. Community Bankers stockholders
do not have appraisal rights in connection with the merger under
applicable Delaware corporate law. |
|
Q: |
|
How much of Community Bankers voting interests will
existing Community Bankers stockholders own upon completion of
the merger? |
|
A: |
|
It depends. The percentage of Community Bankers voting
interests that existing Community Bankers stockholders will own
after the merger will vary depending on whether: |
|
|
|
any TransCommunity stockholders exercise appraisal
rights with respect to the merger of Community Bankers and
TransCommunity;
|
|
|
|
any of Community Bankers 7,500,000 outstanding
warrants are exercised;
|
|
|
|
I-Bankers Securities, Inc., Maxim Group LLC and
Legend Merchant Group, Inc., the representatives of the
underwriters in Community Bankers initial public offering,
exercise their unit purchase option to purchase
525,000 units (each unit comprised of one share of common
stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock); and
|
|
|
|
any holders of Community Bankers common stock issued
in Community Bankers initial public offering exercise
their right to convert their shares into cash equal to a pro
rata portion of the Community Bankers trust account with respect
to the merger with TransCommunity.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the scenario, Community Bankers stockholders
will own from 36.93% to 57.13% of Community Bankers voting
interests after the merger, based on the number of shares of
each of Community Bankers, TransCommunity and BOE issued and
outstanding as of the date of their respective merger
agreements. For a |

|
|
|
|
|
table outlining the effect of the various scenarios on the
percentage of Community Bankers voting interests that
existing Community Bankers stockholders will own after the
merger with BOE is completed, see The Merger
Stock Ownership of Existing Community Bankers and BOE
Stockholders After the Merger. |
|
Q: |
|
Do the Community Bankers stockholders have conversion
rights? |
|
A: |
|
No. As the merger with BOE will not be Community
Bankers initial business combination, no Community Bankers
stockholder will have conversion rights in connection with the
merger. |
|
Q: |
|
Will I lose my warrants or will they be converted to shares
of common stock if the merger is consummated? |
|
A: |
|
No. After we complete the merger with TransCommunity, your
warrants will become exercisable. Consummation of the merger
with BOE will not in any way affect your warrants. However, in
the event that Community Bankers does not consummate the merger
with TransCommunity by June 7, 2008, Community Bankers will
be required to liquidate and any Community Bankers warrants you
own will expire without value. |
|
Q: |
|
What happens if the merger is not consummated or is
terminated? |
|
A: |
|
If the merger is not consummated, Community Bankers
certificate of incorporation will not be further amended
pursuant to the proposal to adopt an amendment to the
certificate of incorporation. |
|
|
|
Should the merger agreement be terminated due to a material
breach of such agreement by Community Bankers, then a
termination fee of $500,000 would be payable by Community
Bankers to BOE. Further, if either party terminates because the
stockholders of the other party fail to approve the merger or if
either party terminates because the transactions contemplated
are not consummated by June 30, 2008, and another
acquisition transaction, involving a change in control, is
announced and results in a definitive agreement or a consummated
acquisition transaction with the terminating party within
12 months of termination, then the party entering into the
definitive agreement or consummating the acquisition transaction
will owe the other party a termination fee of $500,000. If a
party terminates the merger agreement due to a material breach
of the other party or the failure of the other party to
recommend the merger to its stockholders, the termination fee of
$500,000 is payable upon termination. In the case of a
termination involving a competing acquisition transaction, the
termination fee of $500,000 is payable upon the earlier of the
execution of a definitive agreement or the consummation of the
transaction. In those cases where a competing acquisition
transaction with a third party is consummated, an additional
termination fee of $1,200,000 will also be payable upon
consummation of the acquisition transaction. |

QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS FOR BOE STOCKHOLDERS
|
|
|
Q: |
|
Why is BOE proposing the merger? |
|
A: |
|
We believe that the proposed merger will provide substantial
benefits to BOE stockholders. The BOE board of directors
believes the merger provides BOE stockholders with liquidity,
capital raising and strategic and growth opportunities, such as
the merger with TransCommunity, that would not have been readily
available to BOE on a stand-alone basis. To review the BOE
reasons for the transaction in greater detail, see The
Merger BOEs Reasons for the Merger. |
|
Q: |
|
What will BOE stockholders receive in the merger? |
|
A: |
|
Each issued and outstanding share of BOE common stock you own
will be converted into 5.7278 shares of Community Bankers
common stock, subject to possible adjustment. In the event the
average of the daily closing prices for Community Bankers common
stock as reported on the American Stock Exchange for the 20
consecutive full trading days ending on the fifth day before the
anticipated closing date of the merger is less than $7.42, the
exchange ratio will be increased to the quotient obtained by
dividing $42.50 by the average of the daily closing prices
during those 20 consecutive full trading days, rounded to the
nearest one-ten-thousandth. In addition, holders of outstanding
options for BOE common stock will receive options exercisable
for of Community Bankers common stock. The number of shares
underlying the options and the exercise price of the options
will be adjusted to reflect the 5.7278 exchange ratio. |
|
Q: |
|
Will BOE stockholders be taxed on the Community Bankers
common stock that they receive in exchange for their BOE
shares? |
|
A: |
|
No. We expect the merger to qualify as a
reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes. If
the merger qualifies as a reorganization for United States
federal income tax purposes, BOE stockholders will not recognize
any gain or loss to the extent BOE stockholders receive
Community Bankers common stock in exchange for their BOE shares.
We recommend that BOE stockholders carefully read the complete
explanation of the material United States federal income tax
consequences of the merger beginning on page ,
and that BOE stockholders consult their tax advisors for a full
understanding of the tax consequences of their participation in
the merger. |
|
Q: |
|
How much of Community Bankers voting interests will BOE
stockholders own upon completion of the merger? |
|
A: |
|
It depends. The percentage of BOEs voting interests that
existing BOE stockholders will own after the merger will vary
depending on whether: |
|
|
|
any TransCommunity stockholder exercises appraisal
rights with respect to the merger with TransCommunity;
|
|
|
|
any of Community Bankers 7,500,000 outstanding
warrants are exercised;
|
|
|
|
I-Bankers Securities, Inc., Maxim Group LLC and
Legend Merchant Group, Inc., the representatives in Community
Bankers initial public offering, exercise their unit
purchase option to purchase 525,000 units (each unit
comprised of one share of common stock and one warrant to
purchase one share of common stock); and
|
|
|
|
any holders of Community Bankers common stock issued
in Community Bankers initial public offering exercise
their right to convert their shares into cash equal to a pro
rata portion of the Community Bankers Trust account with respect
to the merger between Community Bankers and TransCommunity.
|
6
|
|
|
|
|
Depending on the scenario, BOE stockholders will own from 22.11%
to 32.53% of Community Bankers voting interests after the
merger, based on the number of shares of each of Community
Bankers, TransCommunity and BOE issued and outstanding as of the
date of their respective merger agreements. For a table
outlining the effect of the various scenarios on the percentage
of Community Bankers voting interests that existing BOE
stockholders will own after the merger with BOE is completed,
see The Merger Stock Ownership of Existing
Community Bankers and BOE Stockholders After the Merger. |
|
Q: |
|
Will I have appraisal rights in the merger? |
|
A: |
|
No. BOE stockholders do not have appraisal rights in
connection with the merger under applicable Virginia law. |
|
Q: |
|
Should I send in my stock certificates now? |
|
A: |
|
No. You should not send in your stock certificates at
this time. Promptly after the effective time of the merger, you
will receive transmittal materials with instructions for
surrendering your BOE shares. You should follow the
instructions in the post-closing letter of transmittal regarding
how and when to surrender your stock certificates. |

Suite D-203
Great Falls, Virginia 22066
(703) 759-0751
Community Bankers was organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware on April 6, 2005. As a Targeted Acquisition
Corporationsm,
or
TACsm,
Community Bankers was formed to effect a merger, capital stock
exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business
combination with an operating business in the banking industry.
Community Bankers consummated its initial public offering on
June 8, 2006, raising approximately $60 million,
approximately $58 million of which is currently held in a
trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank. Shares of
Community Bankers common stock trade on the American Stock
Exchange under the symbol BTC.
On September 5, 2007, Community Bankers entered into the
agreement and plan of merger with TransCommunity. TransCommunity
is a registered financial holding company incorporated under the
laws of Virginia and is the holding company for TransCommunity
Bank, N.A. TransCommunity is headquartered in Glen Allen,
Virginia and operates five full service offices in its four
operating divisions in Goochland, Powhatan, Louisa and
Rockbridge, Virginia. TransCommunity Bank had deposits of
$192.0 million, loans of $189.0 million, assets of
$223.0 million and equity of $29.9 million, at
September 30, 2007. Community Bankers must complete its
merger with TransCommunity by June 7, 2008, or, under its
certificate of incorporation, Community Bankers must dissolve
and liquidate.
As a result of the merger of Community Bankers and
TransCommunity, each share of TransCommunity common stock will
be converted into 1.4200 shares of Community Bankers common
stock, subject to possible adjustment. Community Bankers and
TransCommunity have prepared a separate joint proxy
statement/prospectus relating to the merger of Community Bankers
and TransCommunity which has been mailed to Community Bankers
and TransCommunity stockholders in connection with the annual
meeting of the stockholders of Community Bankers and the special
meeting of the stockholders of TransCommunity at which a
proposal to approve the merger of Community Bankers and
TransCommunity will be considered.
The merger with TransCommunity is Community Bankers
initial business combination, and Community Bankers
certificate of incorporation mandates certain voting
requirements for its initial business combination. Pursuant to
Community Bankers certificate of incorporation, adoption
of the merger agreement relating to the initial business
combination requires the affirmative vote of holders of a
majority of Community Bankers outstanding shares of common stock
issued in Community Bankers initial public offering and
voted at the meeting.
In addition, for an initial business combination the holders of
the shares of common stock issued in Community Bankers initial
public offering have the right to convert their stock into cash
equal to a pro rata portion of the Community Bankers trust
account if they vote against the merger. For Community Bankers
to complete its merger with TransCommunity, the holders of less
than 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock issued in the
Community Bankers initial public offering must have
exercised their conversion rights.
Pursuant to Delaware law, adoption of the merger agreement with
TransCommunity requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Community Bankers common
stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

Community
Bankers.
On February 15, 2008, Community Bankers announced its
results of operations for the period from April 1, 2007
until December 31, 2007. For the period from April 1,
2007 to December 31, 2007, interest income on its trust
fund investments, including interest allocable to shares subject
to possible conversion, amounted to $1,933,962. This resulted in
net income for the period from April 1, 2007 to
December 31, 2007 of $1,105,034 or net income
per share, basic and diluted, of $0.12 and $0.09,
respectively. The aggregate amount of cash and United States
treasury securities held in the trust fund as of
December 31, 2007, was $58,452,512.
BOE.
On February 4, 2008, BOE announced its results of
operations for the fourth quarter of 2007. Net income for the
fourth quarter of 2007 was $596,000, a decrease of $317,000, or
34.7%, from net income of $913,000 for the same period in 2006.
The decrease to net income for the fourth quarter of 2007
compared to the same period in 2006 was due to a December 2006
sale of a former branch banking facility. This nonrecurring item
caused gain on sale of other properties to be $477,000 in the
fourth quarter of 2006 compared to $0 for the same period in
2007. Additionally, there was an increase of $187,000 in
noninterest expenses, from $2.2 million in the fourth
quarter of 2006 to $2.4 million in the fourth quarter 2007.
Offsetting these decreases to net income was an increase of
8.9%, or $209,000, in net interest income. Net interest income
was $2.6 million for the fourth quarter 2007 compared to
$2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. Also, there
was an increase of $55,000, or 11.5%, in noninterest income,
from $479,000 in the fourth quarter of 2006, to $534,000 for the
same period in 2007. Income tax expense declined 42.0%, or
$84,000, from $200,000 in the fourth quarter of 2006 to $116,000
in the fourth quarter of 2007. Additionally, strong asset
quality resulted in no additional expense in provision for loan
losses for the fourth quarter of both years. On
December 31, 2007 loans past due 90 days or more and
accruing interest was $17,000 and loans not accruing interest
totaled $96,000. For the year ending December 31, 2007
charged-off loans were $272,000 against recoveries of $461,000.
Earnings per common share were $0.49 for the fourth quarter in
2007 compared to $0.75 for the same period in 2006.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, BOE reported net
income of $2.608 million, compared to net income of
$3.1 million for 2006, a decrease of $515,000, or 16.5%.
This decrease in earnings was primarily the result of an
increase of $876,000, or 11.1%, in noninterest expenses.
Salaries was the largest component of this increase, $432,000,
which increased primarily from the addition of staff that was
hired and trained in 2007 to operate two new full service
offices of Bank of Essex in Northumberland County, Virginia.
The year 2007 was the first full year of operations for
BOEs corporate headquarters and branch banking facility
that opened in June 2006, accounting for the majority of
increases in occupancy expenses of $159,000. Gain on sale of
other properties decreased $467,000 from 2006 to 2007 due to the
sale of bank property referred to above. Additionally, legal and
professional fees increased $236,000 in 2007 compared to 2006 as
a result of BOEs due diligence process prior to announcing
the merger agreement with Community Bankers. Offsetting these
decreases to net income was an increase of $237,000, or 2.4%, in
net interest income, from $9.8 million in 2006 to
$10.0 million in 2007. Noninterest income increased
$204,000, or 11.4%, from $1.8 million in 2006 to
$2.0 million
9
in 2007. Also improving net income was a 95.2%, or $119,000,
reduction in provision for loan losses and a 33.5%, or $292,000,
decrease in income tax expense for 2007 compared to 2006.
Earnings per common share were $2.15 for the full year 2007
compared to $2.58 for the same period in 2006. Average diluted
shares outstanding increased by 5,143 during 2007.
Loans, net of allowance for loan losses, increased 12.6%, or
$24.5 million, and were $219.0 million on
December 31, 2007. Total deposits grew 5.9%, or
$13.7 million, to end 2007 at $244.6 million.
TransCommunity.
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was
$2.5 million, or $0.54 per share (basic and diluted),
versus net income of $117 thousand, or $0.03 per share for the
same period during 2006.
Results for 2007 were significantly affected by recognition at
year-end of a deferred tax asset totaling $3.3 million,
arising primarily from recognition by TransCommunity of the net
operating loss carry forwards generated since
TransCommunitys inception, in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. As a result of recognizing this
deferred tax asset, TransCommunity expects to incur tax expense
related to income earned in 2008 and subsequent years.
Without recognition of this deferred tax asset, performance for
2007 would have been a loss of $829 thousand, versus net income
of $117 thousand for 2006. Inclusive of the deferred tax asset,
the return on average assets for 2007 was 1.16% compared to .06%
for 2006. Return on average equity for 2007 was 8.23% compared
to 0.39% for 2006.
During 2007, total assets grew by 20%, led by strong growth in
the loan portfolio of 36%. Although TransCommunitys
employee headcount remained constant during 2007, noninterest
expenses grew 19% to $10.6 million, reflecting one-time
costs associated with the consolidation of TransCommunitys
four banking charters, and centralization of many back-room
operational functions.
TransCommunitys net interest margin for 2007 was 5.13%
versus 5.14% for 2006. Although TransCommunity was able to
maintain its historic high level of net interest margin during
2007, this key profitability indicator is expected to decline in
2008 as a result of the actions of the Federal Reserve Board to
lower interest rates.
During 2007, as part of the consolidation of its bank charters,
TransCommunity centralized its credit administration function,
and hired its first chief credit officer. Following
consolidation, the new chief credit officer performed a full
review of the entire loan portfolio. This review, plus several
credit downgrades in the final quarter of the year, resulted in
an increase in the allowance for loan losses during 2007 of $1.6
Million. At December 31, 2007 the allowance for loan losses
stands at $3.0 million, or 1.48% of total loans. At
December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was
$2,100,000, or 1.36% of total loans.
At December 31, 2007, total assets were $238.2 million
versus $198.4 million at December 31, 2006. Loans, net
of the allowance for loan losses, equaled $202.4 million,
as compared with $149.3 million at year-end 2006. Total
deposits at December 31, 2007 were $203.6 million,
representing growth of 23.4% from $165.0 million at
year-end 2006.
The
Merger (page )
The merger agreement with BOE is attached as Appendix A to
this joint proxy statement/prospectus. You should read the
merger agreement because it is the legal document that governs
the merger. The merger agreement provides for the merger of BOE
with and into Community Bankers. Following the merger:
|
|
|
|
|
the board of directors of the surviving corporation will be
comprised of fourteen directors; six directors will be nominated
by BOE, one of which shall serve as chairman of Community
Bankers upon consummation of the merger; six directors will be
nominated by TransCommunity; and two directors will be nominated
by Community Bankers;
|
|
|
|
the president and chief executive officer of TransCommunity,
Bruce B. Nolte, will become the chief executive officer of the
surviving corporation through December 31, 2009;
|
10
|
|
|
|
|
the president and chief executive officer of BOE, George M.
Longest, Jr., will become president of the surviving
corporation and chief executive officer of the surviving bank
and, commencing on January 1, 2010, will become president
and chief executive officer of the surviving corporation and
will remain chief executive officer of the surviving bank;
|
|
|
|
Gary A. Simanson, the current president and chief executive
officer of Community Bankers will become its chief strategic
officer; and
|
|
|
|
Bank of Essex, will become a subsidiary bank of Community
Bankers by merging with TransCommunity Bank, which will have
become a subsidiary of Community Bankers upon the closing of the
merger by Community Bankers with TransCommunity; following the
merger, the board of directors of the surviving bank will be
comprised of fourteen directors: two nominated by Community
Bankers, six nominated by TransCommunity and six nominated by
BOE.
|
As a result of the merger, each share of BOE stock will be
converted into 5.7278 shares of Community Bankers common
stock, subject to possible adjustment. In the event the average
of the daily closing prices of Community Bankers common stock as
reported on the American Stock Exchange for the 20 consecutive
full trading days ending on the fifth day before the anticipated
closing date of the merger is less than $7.42, the exchange
ratio will be increased to equal the quotient obtained by
dividing $42.50 by the average of the daily closing prices
during those 20 consecutive full trading days, rounded to the
nearest one-ten thousandth. Community Bankers common stock is
listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol
BTC. BOE common stock is listed on the Nasdaq
Capital Market under the symbol BSXT.
Upon completion of the merger, Community Bankers expects to pay
regular dividends to its stockholders. Subject to board and
regulatory approval, Community Bankers expects to pay quarterly
cash dividends in an amount not less than the quotient obtained
by dividing $0.22 by the BOE exchange ratio, for the foreseeable
future.
We cannot complete the merger unless, among other things, we
obtain the necessary government approvals and the stockholders
of each of Community Bankers and BOE approve the merger
proposal. Community Bankers must also complete its merger with
TransCommunity prior to closing its merger with BOE. If
Community Bankers does not complete its merger with
TransCommunity by June 7, 2008, Community Bankers will be
forced to dissolve and liquidate and will not be able to close
the merger with BOE.
Reasons
for the Merger (page )
Community Bankers. In reaching its decision to
approve the merger agreement and recommend the merger to its
stockholders, the Community Bankers board of directors reviewed
various financial data and due diligence and evaluation
materials. In addition, in reaching its decision to approve the
merger agreement, the board of directors considered a number of
factors and believes that the non-exhaustive list of factors
below strongly supports its determination to approve the merger
agreement and recommendation that its stockholders adopt the
merger agreement:
|
|
|
|
|
the attractive nature of the markets in which BOE operates and
its branch network;
|
|
|
|
BOEs demonstrated deposit and loan growth and history of
consistent earnings;
|
|
|
|
BOEs attractive balance sheet
make-up and
product mix, including the loan and deposit mix of BOE and the
compatibility of that mix with TransCommunitys balance
sheet;
|
|
|
|
opportunities to grow existing revenue streams and create new
revenue streams associated with BOE and the strength of the
combined balance sheets, equity levels, and projected market
capitalization of Community Bankers, TransCommunity and BOE;
|
|
|
|
the competitive position and market share of BOE within its
operating markets and the likely ability for Bank of Essex,
following its merger with TransCommunity Bank, to increase its
market share;
|
|
|
|
the experience of BOEs board of directors and management,
including George M. Longest, Jr., the current president and
chief executive officer of BOE who will become president of
Community Bankers after the merger and chief executive officer
commencing on January 1, 2010;
|
11
|
|
|
|
|
the potential operating efficiencies and management enhancements
of merging Bank of Essex with TransCommunity Bank, and the
compatibility of management of Community Bankers, TransCommunity
and BOE;
|
|
|
|
the valuation of comparable companies and the reasonable pricing
of the transaction;
|
|
|
|
the similar operating philosophies and community banking culture
of Community Bankers, TransCommunity and BOE;
|
|
|
|
the all stock for stock nature of the merger consideration,
preserving capital for future growth and acquisitions;
|
|
|
|
the attractiveness of the surviving corporation following the
merger to additional merger candidates;
|
|
|
|
the strong desire of management and the board of directors of
BOE to stay involved in future growth of the company; and
|
|
|
|
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.s fairness opinion
that the merger is fair to Community Bankers from a financial
point of view.
|
The board of directors of Community Bankers did not ascertain
any negative factors related to the proposed merger with BOE
other than the risk of the ability to successfully integrate BOE
with TransCommunity and achieve the associated cost savings and
efficiencies.
In addition, Community Bankers board knew and considered
the financial interests of certain Community Bankers directors
and executives when it approved the merger agreement. These
financial interests are addressed in greater detail under the
heading The Merger Certain Benefits of
Directors and Officers of Community Bankers and BOE.
BOE. In reaching its decision to approve the
merger agreement and recommend the merger to its stockholders,
the BOE board of directors consulted with BOE management, as
well as with its outside financial and legal advisors, reviewed
various financial data, due diligence and evaluation materials,
and made an independent determination that the proposed merger
with Community Bankers was in the best interests of BOE and its
stockholders. The board of directors considered a number of
positive factors that it believes support its recommendation
that BOEs stockholders approve the merger agreement,
including:
|
|
|
|
|
the premium over BOEs prevailing stock price to be
received by BOEs stockholders (see The
Merger Background of the Merger);
|
|
|
|
the financial analysis and presentation of Feldman Financial,
and its oral opinion that, as of December 12, 2007, the
exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to
BOEs stockholders (see The Merger
Opinion of BOEs Financial Advisor);
|
|
|
|
the fact that the exchange ratio is fixed in the event that
Community Bankers stock price increases before closing,
but is adjustable in the event that Community Bankers
stock price decreases, thereby affording BOEs stockholders
a combination of upside participation and downside protection
(see The Merger Merger Consideration);
|
|
|
|
its belief that the surviving corporations increased size
and scale, including its significantly larger pro forma capital
base, would better position it to compete and grow its business
and to attract other high quality merger candidates;
|
|
|
|
its belief that the surviving corporation will be positioned to
benefit from increased credit portfolio diversity and increased
lending capacity;
|
|
|
|
the corporate governance provisions established for the merger,
including the composition of the surviving corporations
board of directors and the designation of key senior management
of the surviving corporation and their proposed employment
arrangements;
|
|
|
|
its knowledge and analysis of the current competitive and
regulatory environment for financial institutions generally,
BOEs current competitive position and the other potential
strategic alternatives available to BOE,
|
12
|
|
|
|
|
including remaining independent, accelerating branch growth,
making acquisitions, developing or acquiring non-bank businesses
and selling BOE to a larger financial institution;
|
|
|
|
|
|
the skills and experience offered by the Community Bankers
management;
|
|
|
|
its review of Community Bankers financial condition and
TransCommunitys financial condition, earnings, business
operations and prospects, taking into account the results of
BOEs due diligence investigation of Community Bankers and
TransCommunity, and the anticipated compatibility of management
and shared business philosophy of Community Bankers,
TransCommunity, and BOE;
|
|
|
|
the assessment of the likelihood that the merger would be
completed in a timely manner without unacceptable regulatory
conditions or requirements, including that no branch
divestitures would likely be required, and the ability of the
management team to successfully integrate and operate the
business of the surviving corporation after the merger; and
|
|
|
|
the fact that the merger will enable BOEs stockholders to
exchange their shares of BOE, in a tax-free transaction, for
registered shares of common stock of a company that will have a
significantly larger pro forma market capitalization.
|
The BOE board also considered the risks and potentially negative
factors outlined below, but concluded that the anticipated
benefits of combining with Community Bankers were likely to
outweigh substantially these risks and factors. The risks and
factors included:
|
|
|
|
|
the dilution of ownership rights of BOEs stockholders;
|
|
|
|
no special purposes acquisition company transactions have been
completed in the banking industry;
|
|
|
|
the risk that Community Bankers may not be able to close the
proposed merger with TransCommunity due to potential stockholder
opposition;
|
|
|
|
whether other banks would be attracted to join the franchise;
|
|
|
|
the poor earnings history of TransCommunity;
|
|
|
|
the possibility that the merger and the related integration
process could result in the loss of key employees, in the
disruption of BOEs on-going business, and in the loss of
customers; and
|
|
|
|
the risks of the type and nature described under A Warning
about Forward-Looking Statements and Risk
Factors.
|
BOEs board of directors knew and considered the financial
interests of certain BOE directors and executives when it
approved the merger agreement. These financial interests are
addressed in greater detail under the heading The
Merger Certain Benefits of Directors and Officers of
Community Bankers and BOE.

Certain
Benefits of Directors and Officers of BOE
(page )
When considering the recommendations of the BOE board of
directors, you should be aware that some directors and officers
have interests in the merger proposal that differ from the
interests of other stockholders, including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
following the merger, six members of the board of directors of
BOE, will join the board of directors of Community Bankers, and
Alexander F. Dillard, Jr., the chairman of BOE, will become
the chairman of Community Bankers;
|
|
|

Federal
Income Tax Consequences (page )
We have structured the merger so that it will be considered a
reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes. If
the merger is a reorganization for United States federal income
tax purposes, BOEs stockholders generally will not
recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of shares of BOE
common stock for shares of Community Bankers common stock. Any
gain or loss which is recognized will be a capital gain or loss,
provided that such shares were held as capital assets of the BOE
stockholder at the effective time of the merger.
Determining the actual tax consequences of the merger to a BOE
stockholder may be complex. These tax consequences will depend
on each stockholders specific situation and on factors not
within our control. BOEs stockholders should consult their
own tax advisors for a full understanding of the tax
consequences of their participation in the merger.
Comparative
Rights of Stockholders (page )
The rights of Community Bankers stockholders are currently
governed by Delaware corporate law and Community Bankers
certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The rights of
BOEs stockholders are currently governed by Virginia
corporate law and BOEs articles of incorporation and
bylaws. Upon consummation of the merger, the stockholders of BOE
will become stockholders of Community Bankers and the
certificate of incorporation, as proposed to be further amended
and restated, and bylaws of Community Bankers and Delaware law
will govern their rights. Community Bankers certificate of
incorporation and bylaws differ somewhat from the articles of
incorporation and bylaws of BOE. Material differences include:
|
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers bylaws provide that any director may be
removed, with or without cause, by holders of a majority of the
shares entitled to vote at the election of directors; in
comparison BOEs articles of incorporation and bylaws
provide that a director may be removed from office by the
stockholders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at
an election of directors only with cause.
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers bylaws provide that the election of
directors is determined by a vote of the holders of a majority
of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to
vote, at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present;
in comparison BOEs bylaws provide that all elections are
determined by a plurality of the votes cast, in person or by
proxy, at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present.
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers bylaws provide that stockholder action
may be taken by written consent, without prior notice and
without a vote, if the written consent is signed by the holders
of outstanding stock having at least the minimum number of votes
that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at
which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and
voted; in comparison BOEs bylaws provide that stockholder
action may be taken by written consent if the action is
unanimous.
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers bylaws provide that special meetings of
the stockholders may be called by a majority of the board of
directors or by the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer or the
President and will be called by the Secretary at the request in
writing of stockholders owning a majority of the shares of
capital stock of
|
16
|
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers issued and outstanding and entitled to vote;
in comparison BOEs bylaws provide that a special meeting
of the stockholders may be called only by the Chairman, the
President or the board of directors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers has elected not to be governed by
Section 203 of the DGCL, which limits engaging in a
business combination with any interested stockholder; in
comparison BOE is subject to 13.1-725.1 and related provisions
of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act known as the
Affiliated Transaction Statute, which limits
engaging in a business combination with any interested
stockholder. BOE is also subject to 13.1-728.4 of the Virginia
Stock Corporation Act, which provides that certain notice and
informational filings and special stockholder meetings and
voting procedures must occur prior to consummation of a proposed
control share acquisition.

Termination
of the Merger Agreement (page )
Notwithstanding the approval of the merger proposal by Community
Bankers and BOE stockholders, Community Bankers and BOE can
mutually agree at any time to terminate the merger agreement
before completing the merger.
Either Community Bankers or BOE can also terminate the merger
agreement:
|
|
|
|
|
if the other party is in breach of any of its representations or
warranties under the merger agreement and fails to cure the
violation and the breach relates to an inaccuracy that, without
considering any qualification in such representation, is likely
to have a material adverse effect on the breaching party;
|
|
|
|
if required regulatory approval is denied by final nonappealable
action of a regulatory authority or if any action taken by such
authority is not appealed within the time limit for appeal;
|
|
|
|
if any law or order permanently restraining, enjoining, or
otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the merger has become
final and nonappealable;
|
|
|
|
if the approval of the stockholders of Community Bankers and BOE
is not obtained;
|
|
|
|
if we do not complete the merger by June 30, 2008;
|
|
|
|
if a partys board of directors fails to reaffirm its
approval upon the other partys request for such
reaffirmation of the merger or if the partys board of
directors resolves not to reaffirm the merger; or
|
|
|
|
if the Community Bankers or the BOE board of directors
withdraws, modifies, or changes in a manner adverse to the other
party, its recommendation that the stockholders approve the
merger in certain instances where failure to do so would likely
result in a breach of the board of directors respective
fiduciary duties.

Ownership of Existing Community Bankers, TransCommunity and BOE
Stockholders After the Merger
(page )
The table below outlines the effect of the various scenarios on
the percentage of Community Bankers voting interests that
existing Community Bankers, TransCommunity and BOE stockholders
will own after the merger with BOE is completed, based on the
number of shares of each of Community Bankers, TransCommunity
and BOE issued and outstanding as of the date of their
respective merger agreements. Depending on the scenario,
Community Bankers stockholders will own from 36.93% to
57.13% of Community Bankers voting interests after the
merger, TransCommunity stockholders will own from 20.76% to
30.54% of Community Bankers voting interests after the
merger and BOE stockholders will own from 22.11% to 32.53% of
Community Bankers voting interests after the merger. The
table assumes that none of the TransCommunity stockholders
exercised appraisal rights in Community Bankers merger
with TransCommunity and that Community Bankers existing
stockholders continue to own the warrants to be exercised. The
unit purchase option refers to the unit purchase option to
purchase 525,000 units (each unit comprised of one share of
common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common
stock) held by
17
I-Bankers
Securities, Inc., Maxim Group LLC and Legend Merchant Group,
Inc., the representatives of the underwriters in Community
Bankers initial public offering.

X-denotes that event occurred
The
Merger is Expected to Occur in the Second Quarter of 2008
(page )
The merger will occur shortly after all of the conditions to its
completion have been satisfied or waived. Currently, we
anticipate that the merger will occur in the second quarter of
2008. However, we cannot assure you when or if the merger will
occur. We must first obtain the approval of the Community
Bankers stockholders and BOEs stockholders at their
respective special meetings and all the necessary regulatory
approvals. In addition, Community Bankers must complete its
merger with TransCommunity prior to closing its merger with BOE.
If Community Bankers does not complete its merger with
TransCommunity by June 7, 2008, Community Bankers will be
forced to dissolve and liquidate and will not be able to close
the merger with BOE.
Accounting
Treatment (page )
The merger will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, with Community Bankers being treated as the
acquiring entity for accounting purposes. Under the purchase
method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of BOE as of
the effective time of the merger will be recorded at their
respective fair values and added to those of Community Bankers.
Completion
of the Merger is Subject to Certain Conditions
(page )
Completion of the merger is subject to a number of conditions,
including the approval of the merger proposal by the Community
Bankers and BOE stockholders and the receipt of all the
regulatory consents and approvals that are necessary to permit
the completion of the merger and the completion of the merger
with TransCommunity. Certain conditions to the merger may be
waived by Community Bankers or BOE, as applicable;
however, the merger with TransCommunity must be completed
by June 7, 2008, or Community Bankers will be forced to
dissolve and liquidate and will not be able to close the merger
with BOE.

Comparative
Market Value of Securities
(page )
The following table sets forth the closing price per share of
Community Bankers common stock and the closing price per share
of BOE common stock on December 13, 2007 (the last business
day preceding the public announcement of the merger)
and ,
2008 (the most recent practicable trading date prior to the
mailing this joint proxy statement/prospectus). The table also
presents the equivalent market value per share of BOE common
stock based on the exchange ratio of 5.7278 shares of
Community Bankers common stock for each share of BOE common
stock. In the event the average of the daily closing prices of
Community Bankers common stock as reported on the American Stock
Exchange for the 20 consecutive full trading days ending on the
fifth day before the anticipated closing date of the merger is
less than $7.42, the exchange ratio will be increased to equal
the quotient obtained by dividing $42.50 by the average of the
daily closing prices during those 20 consecutive full trading
days, rounded to the nearest one-ten thousandth. You are urged
to obtain current market quotations for shares of Community
Bankers and BOE common stock before making a decision with
respect to the merger. Community Bankers common stock is listed
on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol BTC,
and BOE common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market
under the symbol BSXT.

RISK
FACTORS
If the merger is consummated, BOE stockholders will receive
shares of Community Bankers common stock in exchange for their
shares of BOE common stock. An investment in Community Bankers
common stock is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
many of which also apply to an existing investment in BOE common
stock. Risks and uncertainties relating to general economic
conditions are not summarized below. Those risks, among others,
are highlighted on page under the heading
A Warning About Forward-Looking Statements.
However, there are a number of other risks and uncertainties
relating to Community Bankers and your decision on the merger
proposal that you should consider in addition to the risks and
uncertainties associated with financial institutions generally.
Many of these risks and uncertainties could affect Community
Bankers future financial results and may cause Community
Bankers future earnings and financial condition to be less
favorable than expected. This section summarizes those risks.
Risks
Related To The Merger
If
Community Bankers does not complete the merger with
TransCommunity by June 7, 2008, Community Bankers must dissolve
and liquidate. In that event, Community Bankers will not close
the merger with BOE.
The merger with TransCommunity is an initial business
combination under Community Bankers certificate of
incorporation and therefore must be completed prior to the
closing of the merger with BOE. As Community Bankers must
dissolve and liquidate if the merger with TransCommunity is not
completed by June 7, 2008, it would not be advisable to
complete the merger with BOE prior to completing the merger with
TransCommunity, and we would not proceed with the merger.
Community
Bankers may not be able to successfully integrate
TransCommunitys businesses with BOEs.
There are uncertainties in integrating the operations of
TransCommunity with BOE, and the operations of TransCommunity
Bank into Bank of Essex, that could affect whether the merger
will enhance the earnings of surviving corporation. The
surviving corporations failure to successfully integrate
TransCommunity and BOE may harm our financial condition and
results of operations, and, accordingly, our stock price. The
success of the mergers will depend on a number of factors,
including, but not limited to, the surviving corporations
ability to:
|
|
|
|
|
integrate the operations of TransCommunity and BOE and
TransCommunity Bank and Bank of Essex;
|
|
|
|
maintain existing relationships with TransCommunitys and
BOEs depositors to minimize withdrawals of deposits
subsequent to the acquisition;
|
|
|
|
maintain and enhance existing relationships with borrowers to
limit unanticipated losses from TransCommunitys and
BOEs loans;
|
|
|
|
achieve expected cost savings and revenue enhancements from the
surviving corporation;
|
|
|
|
control the incremental non-interest expense to maintain overall
operating efficiencies;
|
|
|
|
retain and attract qualified personnel; and
|
|
|
|
compete effectively in the communities served by TransCommunity
and BOE, and in nearby communities.
|
Community
Bankers may not be able to successfully deploy its
capital.
Upon consummation of the merger with TransCommunity, the funds
currently held in the trust account, less any amounts paid to
stockholders who exercise their conversion rights and the
deferred underwriting compensation, will be released to
Community Bankers. Community Bankers intends to pay any
additional expenses related to the mergers with TransCommunity
and BOE and hold the remaining funds as capital at the holding
company level pending use for general corporate and strategic
purposes. Such purposes could include increasing the capital of
Bank of Essex, future mergers and acquisitions, branch
construction, asset purchases, payment of dividends, repurchases
of shares of Community Bankers common stock and general
corporate purposes. Until such capital is
20
fully leveraged or deployed, Community Bankers may not be able
to successfully deploy such capital and Community Bankers
return on equity could be negatively impacted.
To
implement its growth strategy following the merger, Community
Bankers must successfully identify opportunities for
expansion.
Following the merger, Community Bankers intends to continue to
implement a growth strategy of entering underserved or
over-consolidated markets in Virginia by opportunistically
acquiring or merging with other banking institutions or
establishing new branches of Bank of Essex or any successor bank
subsidiary. If following the merger, Community Bankers is unable
to identify additional attractive markets to enter or suitable
acquisition or merger candidates, an important component of our
growth strategy may be lost. Additionally, any future expansion
or acquisition efforts may entail substantial costs and may not
produce the revenue, earnings or synergies that Community
Bankers had anticipated. Any future expansion or acquisitions
that Community Bankers undertakes will involve operational risks
and uncertainties. Acquired companies may have unforeseen
liabilities, exposure to asset quality problems, key employee
and customer retention problems and other problems that could
negatively affect Community Bankers.
A
substantial number of Community Bankers shares will be
issued in the merger and will be eligible for future resale in
the public market after the merger, which could result in
dilution and have an adverse effect on the market price of those
shares.
If the merger with BOE is consummated, assuming the exchange
ratio is not adjusted, up to 7,105,942 shares of Community
Bankers common stock will be issued to the former stockholders
of BOE common stock. When the merger with TransCommunity is
consummated, assuming the exchange ratio is not adjusted, up to
6,956,213 shares of Community Bankers common stock will be
issued to the former stockholders of TransCommunity common stock.
Additionally:
|
|
|
|
|
warrants to purchase 7,500,000 shares of Community Bankers
common stock that were issued in Community Bankers initial
public offering will become exercisable at $5.00 per share upon
consummation of the merger with TransCommunity, as described
under Description of Securities of Community Bankers;
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers has issued to I-Bankers Securities, Inc.,
Maxim Group LLC and Legend Merchant Group, Inc., the
representatives of the underwriters in Community Bankers
initial public offering, unit purchase options to acquire
525,000 units (each unit comprised of one share of common
stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock),
including 525,000 warrants; and
|
|
|
|
1,875,000 shares of Community Bankers common stock
purchased by stockholders prior to its initial public offering
will be released from escrow on June 2, 2009 and thereby be
eligible for resale in the public market subject to compliance
with applicable law.
|
Gary A. Simanson, president and chief executive officer of
Community Bankers, and David Zalman, a stockholder, agreed as
part of Community Bankers initial public offering,
pursuant to an agreement with the representatives of the
underwriters in the initial public offering, that they or their
affiliates or designees, would purchase up to 1,000,000 warrants
in the aggregate in open market transactions at market prices
not to exceed $0.80 per warrant. Under this agreement, the
representatives of the underwriters also agreed to place an
irrevocable order for the purchase by them, or their affiliates
or designees, of up to 500,000 warrants in the aggregate under
identical terms and conditions as the purchases by
Mr. Simanson and Mr. Zalman. As a result of the
agreement, Community Bankers Acquisition LLC, an affiliate of
Mr. Simanson, acquired an aggregate of 349,724 warrants and
the representatives of the underwriters acquired an aggregate of
300,000 warrants. Warrants acquired by any of these parties
pursuant to these purchases cannot be sold or transferred in the
open market until after the consummation of the merger with
TransCommunity and are not callable by Community Bankers while
held by the purchasers.
In addition, Community Bankers plans to pursue other acquisition
opportunities following completion of the merger with BOE.
Community Bankers is likely to issue shares of common stock as
consideration in any such future acquisitions.
21
Consequently, at various times after the date of this joint
proxy statement/prospectus, a substantial number of additional
shares of Community Bankers common stock will be eligible for
resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of
such shares in the public market could cause dilution and
adversely affect the market price of such shares and of the
warrants.
Stockholders
of both Community Bankers and BOE will incur immediate and
substantial dilution of their ownership and voting interests
upon completion of the merger.
Community Bankers existing stockholders voting
interest would be diluted from 100% to as little as 36.93% or as
much as 57.13%, and BOEs existing stockholders
voting interest would be diluted to as little as 22.11% or as
much as 32.53% after the merger with BOE, assuming that no
TransCommunity stockholders exercise appraisal rights, based on
the number of shares of each of Community Bankers,
TransCommunity and BOE issued and outstanding as of the date of
their respective merger agreements. Factors that would affect
the percentage of Community Bankers voting interests that
existing Community Bankers and BOE stockholders would own after
the merger include:
|
|
|
|
|
whether any of Community Bankers 7,500,000 outstanding
warrants are exercised;
|
|
|
|
whether the 525,000 units issuable to the representatives
of the underwriters in Community Bankers initial public
offering upon exercise of their unit purchase options are
issued; and
|
|
|
|
whether any Community Bankers stockholders exercise their right
to convert their shares into cash equal to a pro rata portion of
the Community Bankers trust account.
|
For a table outlining the effect of the various scenarios on the
percentage of Community Bankers voting interests that
existing Community Bankers and BOE stockholders will own after
the merger with BOE is completed, see The
Merger Stock Ownership of Existing Community Bankers
and BOE Stockholders After the Merger.
If the
mergers benefits do not meet the expectations of financial
or industry analysts, the market price of Community Bankers
common stock may decline.
The market price of Community Bankers common stock may decline
as a result of the mergers if:
|
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers does not achieve the perceived benefits of the
merger as rapidly, or to the extent anticipated by, financial or
industry analysts;
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers is unable to achieve the perceived benefits of
combining TransCommunity Bank with Bank of Essex; or
|
|
|
|
the effect of the merger on Community Bankers financial
results is not consistent with the expectations of financial or
industry analysts.
|
Accordingly, investors may experience a loss as a result of a
decline in the market price of Community Bankers common stock
following the merger. A decline in the market price of Community
Bankers common stock also could adversely affect its ability to
issue additional securities and its ability to obtain additional
financing in the future.
Risks
Related to the Business of Community Bankers following the
Merger with TransCommunity
TransCommunity
has a limited operating history upon which to base any estimate
of its future success.
TransCommunity was organized in 2001, and it and its subsidiary,
TransCommunity Bank, have limited operating histories. As a
consequence, there is limited historical financial information
on which to base an evaluation of TransCommunitys current
business or to make any estimate of its future performance.
22
Many
of the loans in TransCommunitys loan portfolio have been
originated in the last five years, which may not be
representative of credit defaults in the future.
Approximately 96% of TransCommunity Banks loans have been
originated in the past five years and have a short term
maturity. In general, loans do not begin to show signs of credit
deterioration or default until they have been outstanding for
some period of time. As a result, a portfolio of older loans
will usually behave more predictably than a newer portfolio.
Because TransCommunitys loan portfolio is relatively new
with short term maturities, the current level of delinquencies
and defaults may not be representative of the level that will
prevail in the event TransCommunity makes loans with longer
maturity periods. If delinquencies and defaults increase,
TransCommunity may be required to increase its provision for
loan losses, which would adversely affect its results of
operations and financial condition.
TransCommunitys
concentrations of loans may create a greater risk of loan
defaults and losses.
TransCommunity has a substantial amount of loans secured by real
estate in the central Virginia area, and substantially all of
its loans are to borrowers in that area. Additionally, at
September 30, 2007, approximately 80% of its loan portfolio
consisted of commercial and residential construction loans,
commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans and
commercial lines of credit. These types of loans typically have
a higher risk of default than other types of loans, such as
fixed-rate single family residential mortgage loans. In
addition, the repayments of these loans, which generally have
larger balances than single family mortgage loans, often depend
on the successful operation of a business or the sale or
development of the underlying property, and as a result are more
likely to be adversely affected by deteriorating conditions in
the real estate market or the economy in general. These
concentrations expose TransCommunity to the risk that adverse
developments in the real estate market, or in general economic
conditions in the central Virginia/Richmond metropolitan area,
could increase the levels of nonperforming loans and
charge-offs, and reduce loan demand. In that event,
TransCommunity would likely experience additional losses.
Additionally, if, for any reason, economic conditions in the
area deteriorate, or there is significant volatility or weakness
in the economy or any significant sector of the areas
economy, TransCommunitys ability to develop its business
relationships may be diminished, the quality and collectibility
of its loans may be adversely affected, the value of collateral
may decline and loan demand may be reduced.
If
TransCommunitys allowance for loan losses becomes
inadequate, its results of operations may be adversely
affected.
TransCommunity maintains an allowance for loan losses that it
believes is adequate to absorb the estimated losses in its loan
portfolio. Through periodic review of the loan portfolio,
management determines the amount of the allowance for loan
losses by considering, among other factors, general market
conditions, credit quality of the loan portfolio and performance
of TransCommunity customers relative to their financial
obligations with TransCommunity. The amount of future losses is
susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other
conditions, including changes in interest rates that may be
beyond its control, and these future losses may exceed its
current estimates. There is no precise method for predicting
credit losses since any estimate of loan losses is necessarily
subjective and the accuracy depends on the outcome of future
events. As a result, charge-offs in future periods may exceed
its allowance for loan losses and additional increases in the
allowance for loan losses would be required. If TransCommunity
needs to make significant and unanticipated increases in its
loan loss allowance in the future, its results of operations and
financial condition would be materially adversely affected at
that time.
The
markets for TransCommunitys services are highly
competitive, and TransCommunity faces substantial
competition.
The banking business is highly competitive. TransCommunity
competes with other commercial banks, savings and loan
associations, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds,
insurance companies and brokerage and investment banking firms
soliciting business from residents of and businesses located in
its markets. Many of its competitors enjoy competitive
advantages, including greater financial resources, a wider
geographic presence or more accessible branch office locations,
the ability to offer additional services, more favorable pricing
alternatives and lower origination and operating costs. Failure
to compete effectively to attract new and to retain existing
23
customers could result in a decrease in loans TransCommunity
originates and could negatively affect its results of operations.
In attracting deposits, TransCommunity competes with insured
depository institutions such as banks, savings institutions and
credit unions, as well as institutions offering uninsured
investment alternatives, including money market funds.
Traditional banking institutions, as well as entities intending
to transact business online, are increasingly using the Internet
to attract deposits without geographic or physical limitations.
In addition, many non-bank competitors are not subject to the
same extensive regulations that govern TransCommunity. These
competitors may offer higher interest rates on deposits than
TransCommunity offers, which could result in either
TransCommunity attracting fewer deposits or increasing its
interest rates in order to attract deposits. Increased deposit
competition could raise TransCommunitys cost of funds and
could adversely affect its ability to generate the funds
necessary for its lending operations, which would negatively
affect its results of operations.
Changes
in interest rates could have an adverse effect on
TransCommunitys income.
TransCommunitys profitability depends to a large extent
upon its net interest income. Net interest income is the
difference between interest income on interest-earning assets,
such as loans and investments, and interest expense on
interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings.
TransCommunitys net interest income will be adversely
affected if market interest rates change so that the interest it
pays on deposits and borrowings increases faster than the
interest it earns on loans and investments. Changes in interest
rates also affect the value of its loans. An increase in
interest rates could adversely affect borrowers ability to
pay the principal or interest on existing loans or reduce their
ability to borrow more money. This may lead to an increase in
TransCommunitys nonperforming assets or a decrease in loan
originations, either of which could have a material and negative
effect on TransCommunitys results of operations. A
decrease in interest rates could also negatively impact earnings
in the event TransCommunitys loans reprice more quickly
than its sources of funds. TransCommunitys loans are
primarily variable rate assets and TransCommunity relies
substantially on fixed-rate certificates of deposits for its
funding sources.
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are
partly or completely outside of its control, including
governmental monetary policies, domestic and international
economic and political conditions and general economic
conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment and money
supply. Fluctuations in market interest rates are neither
predictable nor controllable and may have a material and
negative effect on TransCommunitys business, financial
condition and results of operations.
TransCommunity
is subject to significant government regulations that affect its
operations and may result in higher operating costs or increased
competition for TransCommunity.
TransCommunitys success will depend not only on
competitive factors, but also on state and federal regulations
affecting financial and bank holding companies generally.
TransCommunity is subject to extensive regulation by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of
Comptroller of the Currency and, to a lesser extent, the Bureau
of Financial Institutions of the Virginia State Corporation
Commission. Supervision, regulation and examination of banks and
bank holding companies by bank regulatory agencies are intended
primarily for the protection of depositors rather than
stockholders. These agencies examine financial and bank holding
companies and commercial banks, establish capital and other
financial requirements and approve new branches, acquisitions or
other changes of control. TransCommunitys ability to
establish new banks or branches or make acquisitions is
conditioned on receiving required regulatory approvals from the
applicable regulators.
Regulations now affecting TransCommunity may change at any time,
and these changes could affect it in unpredictable and adverse
ways. Such changes could subject TransCommunity to additional
costs, limit the types of financial services and products it may
offer, increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing
financial services and products,
and/or
assist competitors that are not subject to similar regulation,
among other things. Failure to comply with laws, regulations or
policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil
money penalties and damage to TransCommunitys reputation,
which could have a material adverse effect on its business,
financial condition and results of operation.
24
TransCommunitys
success will depend significantly upon general economic
conditions in central Virginia and nationally.
TransCommunitys success will depend significantly upon
general economic conditions in central Virginia as well as
national economic conditions affecting Virginia. Any prolonged
economic downturn or recession affecting central Virginia could
impair borrowers ability to repay existing loans,
potentially causing an increase in TransCommunitys
nonperforming assets and charge-offs; deter customers from
incurring more debt, possibly decreasing loan originations; or
cause customers to draw down their savings, potentially
decreasing deposits. In that event, TransCommunity may
experience lower earnings or losses, impaired liquidity and the
erosion of capital. Such an economic downturn or recession could
result from a variety of causes, including natural disasters, a
prolonged downturn in various industries upon which the economy
of central Virginia depends, or a national recession.
In addition, one of the focal points of TransCommunitys
business is serving the banking and financial services needs of
small to medium-sized businesses. These businesses generally
have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing
capacity relative to larger entities. As such, the businesses of
many of TransCommunitys customers and their ability to
repay outstanding loans may be more sensitive to changes in
general economic conditions than larger entities. As a
consequence, TransCommunitys results of operations and
financial condition could be adversely affected by weakening
economic conditions in central Virginia and nationally.
TransCommunity
could be negatively impacted by recent developments in the
mortgage industry.
Industry concerns over asset quality have increased nationally
due in large part to issues related to subprime mortgage
lending, declining real estate activity and general economic
concerns. The markets in which TransCommunity currently operates
remain stable and to date there has been no significant
deterioration in the quality of TransCommunitys loan
portfolio. In addition, TransCommunity closed Main Street
Mortgage, its former mortgage brokerage subsidiary, in late
2006. Management will continue to monitor delinquencies, risk
rating changes, charge-offs and other indicators of risk in
TransCommunitys portfolio, but even with these efforts,
TransCommunity may be impacted by negative developments in the
mortgage industry and the real estate market.
Concentrations
in loans secured by real estate may increase credit losses,
which would have a negative affect on TransCommunitys
financial results.
Many of TransCommunitys loans are secured by real estate
(both commercial and residential) in TransCommunitys
market area. A variety of loans secured by real estate are
offered, including commercial lines of credit, commercial term
loans, real estate, construction, home equity, consumer and
other loans. At September 30, 2007, approximately 76% of
TransCommunitys loans were secured by real estate. A major
change in the real estate market, such as deterioration in value
of the property, or in the local or national economy, could
adversely affect TransCommunitys customers ability
to pay these loans, which in turn could adversely impact
TransCommunity.
TransCommunity
depends on the services of key personnel, and a loss of any of
those personnel could disrupt its operations and could have a
material adverse effect on its operations.
TransCommunity is a customer-focused and relationship-driven
organization. Its growth and success has been in large part
driven by the personal customer relationships maintained by its
executives. TransCommunity depends on the performance of its
management at the holding company as well as the presidents of
each of its bank divisions. Although TransCommunity has entered
into change in control agreements with certain of its officers,
and Community Bankers intends to enter into employment
agreements with certain TransCommunity executive officers, which
would become effective at the effective time of the merger,
these officers and other key employees may leave the employ of
the surviving corporation and seek opportunities elsewhere.
Moreover, TransCommunitys does not maintain key man life
insurance on any of its executive officers. The loss of services
of one or more of these key employees could have a material
adverse impact on TransCommunitys operations.
25
Failure
to maintain effective systems of internal and disclosure
controls could have a material adverse effect on
TransCommunitys results of operation and financial
condition.
Effective internal and disclosure controls are necessary for
TransCommunity to provide reliable financial reports and
effectively prevent fraud and to operate successfully as a
public company. If TransCommunity cannot provide reliable
financial reports or prevent fraud, its reputation and operating
results would be harmed. As part of TransCommunitys
ongoing monitoring of internal control it may discover material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies in its internal control
as defined under standards adopted by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, that require remediation.
TransCommunity has discovered a material weakness and
significant deficiency in its internal control over financial
reporting. The material weakness relates to
TransCommunitys accounting and documentation for loans
participated to third parties, and the significant deficiency
relates to TransCommunitys accounting and record
generation and maintenance for loan origination costs and for
amortizing fees. TransCommunity has adopted and implemented
measures in connection with its efforts to improve internal
control processes, including reviewing and modifying certain
loan operating policies to provide guidance on daily operations,
providing additional training to loan personnel, hiring a new
chief credit officer and centralizing the credit administration
function.
Despite efforts to strengthen its internal and disclosure
controls, TransCommunity may identify additional other internal
or disclosure control deficiencies in the future. Any failure to
maintain effective controls or timely effect any necessary
improvement of its internal and disclosure controls could, among
other things, result in losses from fraud or error, harm its
reputation or cause investors to lose confidence in its reported
financial information, all of which could have a material
adverse effect on its results of operation and financial
condition.
The
success of TransCommunitys future recruiting efforts will
impact its ability to grow.
The implementation of TransCommunitys business strategy
will require it to continue to attract, hire, motivate and
retain skilled personnel to develop new customer relationships
as well as new financial products and services. Many experienced
banking professionals employed by TransCommunitys
competitors are covered by agreements not to compete or solicit
their existing customers if they were to leave their current
employment. These agreements make the recruitment of these
professionals more difficult. The market for these people is
competitive, and TransCommunitys may not be successful in
attracting, hiring, motivating or retaining them. The success of
TransCommunitys recruiting efforts may impact its ability
to grow and its future profitability.
Changes
in accounting standards could impact reported
earnings.
The accounting standard setters, including the Financial
Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and other regulatory bodies,
periodically change the financial accounting and reporting
standards that govern the preparation of consolidated financial
statements. These changes can materially impact how
TransCommunity records and reports its financial condition and
results of operations. In some instances, TransCommunity could
be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively,
resulting in the restatement of prior period financial
statements.
Other
Risks Related To Community Bankers
The
financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus
do not take into account the consequences of a failure to
complete the merger with TransCommunity by June 7,
2008.
The financial statements included in this joint proxy
statement/prospectus have been prepared assuming that Community
Bankers would continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Note 1 to the Notes to the Community Bankers Financial
Statements for the year ended March 31, 2007, Community
Bankers is required to complete the merger with TransCommunity
by June 7, 2008. The possibility of such business
combination not being consummated raises substantial doubt as to
Community Bankers ability to continue as a going concern
and the financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
26
Community
Bankers working capital could be reduced if Community
Bankers stockholders exercise their right in the
TransCommunity merger to convert their shares into cash equal to
a pro rata portion of the Community Bankers trust account or if
TransCommunitys stockholders exercise their appraisal
rights.
Pursuant to Community Bankers certificate of
incorporation, holders of shares issued in Community
Bankers initial public offering may vote against the
merger with TransCommunity and demand that Community Bankers
convert their shares into cash equal to a pro rata portion of
the Community Bankers trust account. Community Bankers will not
consummate the merger with TransCommunity if holders of 20% or
more of the shares of common stock issued in its initial public
offering exercise these conversion rights. To the extent the
merger with TransCommunity is consummated and holders of less
than 20% of the common stock issued in Community Bankers
initial public offering have demanded to convert their shares,
working capital available to Community Bankers following the
merger with TransCommunity will be reduced by the amount paid
out of the trust to stockholders exercising their conversion
rights. Additionally, if holders demand to convert their shares,
there may be a corresponding reduction in the value of each
share of common stock of Community Bankers. As
of ,
2008, assuming the merger proposal with TransCommunity is
adopted, the maximum amount of funds that could be disbursed to
Community Bankers stockholders upon the exercise of the
conversion rights would be approximately
$ , or
approximately % of the funds
currently held in trust as of the record date for the Community
Bankers annual meeting.
TransCommunity stockholders have the right to assert appraisal
rights with respect to the merger with TransCommunity and demand
in writing that Community Bankers pay the fair value of their
shares of TransCommunity common stock under applicable
provisions of Virginia law. To the extent the merger with
TransCommunity is consummated and any TransCommunity
stockholders have asserted their appraisal rights, working
capital available to Community Bankers following the merger will
be reduced by the amount paid to stockholders exercising their
appraisal rights in the TransCommunity merger.
If
Community Bankers does not complete the merger with
TransCommunity by June 7, 2008, Community Bankers must dissolve
and liquidate. In that event, Community Bankers will not be able
to close the merger with BOE.
The merger with TransCommunity is an initial business
combination under Community Bankers certificate of
incorporation and therefore must be completed prior to the
closing of the merger with BOE. As Community Bankers must
dissolve and liquidate if the merger with TransCommunity is not
completed by June 7, 2008, it would not be advisable to
complete the merger with BOE prior to completing the merger with
TransCommunity.
Risks
Related to the Business of BOE
Fluctuations
in interest rates may affect profitability.
BOEs profitability and cash flows depend substantially
upon net interest margin. Net interest margin is the difference
between interest earned on loans and investments, and rates paid
on deposits and other borrowings. The rates described above are
highly sensitive to many factors not in BOEs control, such
as general economic conditions and policies of regulatory and
governmental agencies. Changes in interest rates will affect net
interest margin and thus profitability and cash flows. BOE
attempts to manage BOEs interest rate risk but cannot
eliminate this risk.
BOEs
profitability depends upon and may be affected by local economic
conditions.
The general economic conditions in the markets in which BOE
operates are a key component to BOEs success. This comes
from both the rural Middle Peninsula and urban Richmond markets
in which BOE operates. Changes in the general economic
conditions in these markets, caused by inflation, recession,
acts of terrorism, unemployment or other factors beyond
BOEs control, may influence the rate of growth experienced
for both loans and deposits and negatively affect financial
condition, performance and profitability.
27
BOEs
future success is dependent upon its ability to compete
effectively in the highly competitive banking
industry.
BOE competes for deposits, loans and other financial services in
markets with numerous other banks, thrifts and financial
institutions. There are many financial institutions in these
markets that have been in business for many years and are
significantly larger, have customer bases well established and
have higher lending limits and greater financial resources.
Concentrations
in loans secured by real estate may increase credit losses,
which would have a negative affect on BOEs financial
results.
Many of BOEs loans are secured by real estate (both
commercial and residential) in its market area. A variety of
loans secured by real estate are offered, including commercial
lines of credit, commercial term loans, real estate,
construction, home equity, consumer and other loans. At
December 31, 2007, approximately 86.6% of BOEs loans
were secured by real estate. A major change in the real estate
market, such as deterioration in value of the property, or in
the local or national economy, could adversely affect BOEs
customers ability to pay these loans, which in turn could
adversely impact BOE.
If
BOEs allowance for loan losses becomes inadequate, its
results of operations may be adversely affected.
An essential element of BOEs business is to make loans.
BOE maintains an allowance for loan losses that it believes is a
reasonable estimate of known and inherent losses within the loan
portfolio. Experience in the banking industry indicates that
some portion of BOEs loans may only be partially repaid or
may never be repaid at all. Loan losses occur for many reasons
beyond BOEs control. Although BOE believes that it
maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level adequate to
absorb losses in its loan portfolio, estimates of loan losses
are subjective and their accuracy may depend on the outcome of
future events. BOE may be required to make significant and
unanticipated increases in the allowance for loan and lease
losses during future periods, which could materially affect its
financial position, results of operations and liquidity. Bank
regulatory authorities, as an integral part of their respective
supervisory functions, periodically review BOEs allowance
for loan losses. These regulatory authorities may require
adjustments to the allowance for loan losses or may require
recognition of additional loan losses or charge-offs based upon
their own judgment. Any change in the allowance for loan losses
or charge-offs required by bank regulatory authorities could
have an adverse effect on BOEs financial condition,
results of operations and liquidity.
BOEs
profitability and the value of stockholders investments
may suffer because of rapid and unpredictable changes in the
highly regulated environment in which BOE
operates.
BOE is subject to extensive supervision by several governmental
regulatory agencies at the federal and state levels in the
financial services area. Recently enacted, proposed and future
legislation and regulations have had, and will continue to have,
or may have a significant impact on the financial services
industry. These regulations, which are generally intended to
protect depositors and not stockholders, and the interpretation
and application of them by federal and state regulators, are
beyond BOEs control, may change rapidly and unpredictably
and can be expected to influence earnings and growth. BOEs
success depends on BOEs continued ability to maintain
compliance with these regulations. Some of these regulations may
increase costs and thus place other financial institutions that
are not subject to similar regulation in stronger, more
favorable competitive positions.
BOE
depends on key personnel for success.
BOEs operating results and ability to adequately manage
its growth and minimize loan and lease losses are highly
dependent on the services, managerial abilities and performance
of BOEs current executive officers and other key
personnel. BOE has an experienced management team that the Board
of Directors believes is capable of managing and growing
BOEs operations. However, losses of or changes in
BOEs current executive officers or other key personnel and
their responsibilities may disrupt BOEs business and could
adversely affect financial condition, results of operations and
liquidity. BOE may not be successful in retaining its current
executive officers or other key personnel.
28
If
additional capital were needed in the future to continue growth,
BOE may not be able to obtain it on terms that are favorable.
This could negatively affect performance and the value of
BOEs common stock.
BOEs business strategy calls for continued
growth. It is anticipated that BOE will be able
to support this growth through the generation of additional
deposits at branch locations as well as investment
opportunities. However, BOE may need to raise additional capital
in the future to support continued growth and to maintain
capital levels. The ability to raise capital through the sale of
additional securities will depend primarily upon its financial
condition and the condition of financial markets at that time.
BOE may not be able to obtain additional capital in the amounts
or on terms satisfactory to it. BOEs growth may be
constrained if it is unable to raise additional capital as
needed.
Changes
in accounting standards could impact reported
earnings.
The accounting standard setters, including the FASB, SEC and
other regulatory bodies, periodically change the financial
accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation
of BOEs consolidated financial statements. These changes
can materially impact how BOE records and reports its financial
condition and results of operations. In some instances, BOE
could be required to apply a new or revised standard
retroactively, resulting in the restatement of prior period
financial statements.
29
A WARNING
ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This joint proxy statement/prospectus contains forward-looking
statements with respect to the financial condition, results of
operations, plans, objectives, future performance, and business
of Community Bankers following the merger. These statements are
preceded by, followed by, or include the words
believes, expects,
anticipates, or estimates, or similar
expressions. Many possible events or factors could affect the
future financial results and performance of Community Bankers.
This could cause the results or performance of Community Bankers
to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking

|
|
|
|
|
we may experience delays in closing the merger whether due to
inability to obtain stockholder or regulatory approval or
otherwise;
|
|
|
|
we could lose key personnel or spend a greater amount of
resources attracting, retaining and motivating key personnel
than we have in the past;
|
|
|
|
competition among depository and other financial institutions
may increase significantly;
|
|
|
|
changes in the interest rate environment may reduce operating
margins;
|
|
|
|
general economic conditions, either nationally or in Virginia,
may be less favorable than expected resulting in, among other
things, a deterioration in credit quality and an increase in
credit risk-related losses and expenses;
|
|
|
|
loan losses may exceed the level of allowance for loan losses of
the surviving corporation;
|
|
|
|
the rate of delinquencies and amount of charge-offs may be
greater than expected;
|
|
|
|
the rates of loan growth and deposit growth may not increase as
expected;
|
|
|
|
legislative or regulatory changes may adversely affect our
businesses;
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers may not consummate its merger with
TransCommunity and be required to dissolve and liquidate;
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers may not find suitable merger or acquisition
candidates in addition to TransCommunity and BOE or find other
suitable ways in which to invest its excess capital;
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers must successfully integrate BOEs
operations with its existing operating platforms if the merger
is consummated;
|
|
|
|
Costs related to the merger or the merger with TransCommunity,
including conversion and appraisal rights, may reduce Community
Bankers working capital; and
|
|
|
|
We may fail to obtain the required approvals of Community
Bankers, TransCommunity or BOE stockholders.
|
The forward-looking statements are based on current expectations
about future events. Although Community Bankers believes that
the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, Community Bankers cannot guarantee you that these
expectations actually will be achieved. Community Bankers is
under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements
after the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus to
conform those statements to actual results. In evaluating these
statements, you should consider various factors, including the
risks outlined in the section entitled Risk Factors,
beginning on page .

per share information gives effect to the merger with
TransCommunity as if the merger had been effective at the
beginning of all periods presented and gives effect to the
mergers with TransCommunity and BOE as if both mergers had been
effective at the beginning of all periods presented. The pro

TransCommunity is accounted for as an acquisition by Community
Bankers of TransCommunity using the purchase method of
accounting and the merger with BOE is accounted for as an
acquisition by Community Bankers of BOE using the purchase
method of accounting. See The Merger
Accounting Treatment. The information in the following

Vote
Required
|
|

Adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Community Bankers common stock entitled to vote at the special
meeting.
|
|
|
|
Adoption of the amendment to the certificate of incorporation
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares of Community Bankers common stock
entitled to vote at the special meeting.
|
|
|
|
Authorization for the board of directors to adjourn the special
meeting requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the shares of Community Bankers common stock,
present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote
at the special meeting, whether or not a quorum is present.
|
On the record date, there were
outstanding shares of Community Bankers common stock, each
of which is entitled to one vote at the special meeting. On that
date, the directors and executive officers of Community Bankers
and their affiliates beneficially owned a total of
approximately % of the outstanding
shares of Community Bankers common stock.
Quorum
The presence in person or representation by proxy, of shares of
Community Bankers common stock representing a majority of
Community Bankers outstanding shares entitled to vote at the
special meeting is necessary in order for there to be a quorum
at the special meeting. A quorum must be present in order for
the vote on the merger agreement and the proposal to adopt the
amendment to the certificate of incorporation. If there is no
quorum present at the opening of the meeting, the special
meeting may be adjourned by the vote of a majority of the shares
of Community Bankers common stock, present in person or
represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting.
Voting of
Proxies
Shares of common stock represented by properly executed proxies
received at or prior to the Community Bankers special meeting
will be voted at the special meeting in the manner specified by
the holders of such shares. If you are a stockholder of record
(that is, you hold stock certificates registered in your own
name), you may vote by following the instructions described on
your proxy card. If your shares are held in nominee or
street name, you will receive separate voting
instructions from your broker or nominee with your proxy
materials. If you hold your shares in street name,
you can either obtain physical delivery of the shares directly
into your name, and then vote your shares yourself, or request a
legal proxy directly from your broker and bring it
to the special meeting, and then vote your shares yourself. In
order to obtain shares directly into your name, you must contact
your brokerage house representative. Brokerage firms may assess
a fee for your conversion; the amount of such fee varies.
Properly executed proxies that do not contain voting
instructions will be voted FOR
approval of the merger agreement, approval of the
proposal to adopt the amendment to the certificate of
incorporation, and approval of the proposal to authorize
adjournment.
Shares of any stockholder present in person or represented by
proxy (including broker non-votes, which generally occur when a
broker who holds shares in street name for a customer does not
have the authority to vote on certain non-routine matters
because its customer has not provided any voting instructions
with respect to the matter)
40
at the special meeting who abstains from voting will be counted
for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.
Abstaining from voting (including by way of a broker
non-vote), either in person or by proxy, will have the same
effect as a vote against the adoption of the merger agreement
and adoption of the amendment to the certificate of
incorporation, but will have no effect on authorization to
adjourn the special meeting. Accordingly, Community
Bankers board of directors urges its stockholders to
complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy card and return
it promptly in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope.
Revocability
of Proxies
The grant of a proxy on the enclosed proxy card does not
preclude you from voting in person or otherwise revoking your
proxy. If you are a stockholder of record, there are a number of
ways you can change your vote. First, you may send a written
notice to the person to whom you submitted your proxy stating
that you would like to revoke your proxy. Second, you may
complete and submit a later dated proxy with new voting
instructions. Third, you may attend the special meeting and vote
in person. The latest vote actually received by Community
Bankers prior to or at the special meeting will be your vote.
Any earlier votes will be revoked. Simply attending the special
meeting without voting, however, will not revoke your proxy.
If you have instructed a broker to vote your shares, you must
follow the directions you will receive from your broker to
change or revoke your proxy.
Solicitation
of Proxies
Community Bankers will pay all of the costs of filing the
registration statement with the SEC (of which this joint proxy
statement/prospectus is a part) and of soliciting proxies in
connection with the special meeting. Community Bankers will also
pay the costs associated with printing the copies of this joint
proxy statement/prospectus that are sent to Community Bankers
stockholders and the mailing fees associated with mailing this
joint proxy statement/prospectus to Community Bankers
stockholders. Solicitation of proxies may be made in person or
by mail, telephone, or facsimile, or other form of communication
by directors, officers, and employees of Community Bankers who
will not be specially compensated for such solicitation.
Nominees, fiduciaries, and other custodians will be requested to
forward solicitation materials to beneficial owners and to
secure their voting instructions, if necessary, and will be
reimbursed for the expenses incurred in sending proxy materials
to beneficial owners.
No person is authorized to give any information or to make any
representation not contained in this joint proxy
statement/prospectus and, if given or made, such information or
representation should not be relied upon as having been
authorized by Community Bankers, BOE, or any other person. The
delivery of this joint proxy statement/prospectus does not,
under any circumstances, create any implication that there has
been no change in the business or affairs of Community Bankers
or BOE since the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus.
Authorization
to Vote on Adjournment
At the special meeting, you are being asked to grant authority
to the board of directors to adjourn the special meeting to
allow time for further solicitation of proxies in the event
there are insufficient votes present in person or represented by
proxy at the special meeting, to approve the proposals to be
considered by Community Bankers stockholders. If you do not
specify whether authority is granted or withheld, the proxy will
be voted to grant authority to adjourn. Community Bankers has no
plans to adjourn the special meeting at this time, but intends
to do so, if needed, to promote stockholder interests.
Recommendation
of the Board of Directors
The Community Bankers board of directors has unanimously
determined that the proposals and the transactions contemplated
thereby are in the best interests of Community Bankers and its
stockholders. The members of the Community Bankers board of
directors unanimously recommend that the Community Bankers
stockholders vote at the special meeting to adopt the merger
agreement, adopt the amendment to the certificate of
incorporation
41
and authorize the board of directors to adjourn the special
meeting to allow time for further solicitation of proxies in the
event there are insufficient votes present in person or
represented by proxy at the special meeting, to approve the
proposals.
In the course of reaching its decision to approve the merger
agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the
Community Bankers board of directors, among other things,
consulted with its legal advisors, Nelson Mullins
Riley & Scarborough LLP, regarding the legal terms of
the merger agreement and with its financial advisor, Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc., as to the fairness, from a
financial point of view, to Community Bankers, of the
consideration to be received by the holders of BOE common stock
in the merger. For a discussion of the factors considered by the
Community Bankers board of directors in reaching its conclusion,
see The Merger Community Bankers Reasons
for the Merger and The Merger Opinion of
Community Bankers Financial Advisor.
Community Bankers stockholders should note that Community
Bankers directors and officers have certain interests in,
and may derive benefits as a result of, the merger that are in
addition to their interests as stockholders of Community
Bankers. See The Merger Certain Benefits of
Directors and Officers of Community Bankers and BOE.

THE
MERGER
The descriptions of the terms and conditions of the merger
proposal, the merger agreement and any related documents in this
joint proxy statement/prospectus are qualified in their entirety
by reference to the copy of the merger agreement attached as

registration statement, of which this joint proxy
statement/prospectus is a part, and to the exhibits to the

44
Structure
of the Merger
The merger agreement provides for the merger of BOE with and
into Community Bankers. Community Bankers will be the surviving
corporation in the merger. Bank of Essex, a wholly owned
subsidiary of BOE, will merge with TransCommunity Bank, which
will have become a wholly owned subsidiary of Community Bankers
following the merger with TransCommunity, with Bank of Essex as
the surviving bank. Each share of BOE common stock issued and
outstanding at the effective time of the merger (except for
shares held by Community Bankers, BOE and Bank of Essex that are
not held in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of previously
contracted for debts), will be converted into shares of
Community Bankers common stock and cash instead of fractional
shares, as described below. The directors of Community Bankers
will be comprised of fourteen directors: two directors nominated
by Community Bankers, six directors nominated by TransCommunity
and six directors nominated by BOE. Following the merger, the
directors of the surviving bank also will be comprised of
fourteen directors: two nominated by Community Bankers, six
nominated by TransCommunity and six nominated by BOE. Alexander
F. Dillard, Jr., current chairman of BOE, will be chairman
of Community Bankers upon consummation of the merger.
Upon completion of the merger, Community Bankers expects to pay
regular dividends to its stockholders. Subject to board and
regulatory approval, Community Bankers expects to pay quarterly
cash dividends in an amount not less than the quotient obtained
by dividing $0.22 by the BOE exchange ratio, for the foreseeable
future.
Following the merger, the surviving corporation will file an
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, substantially
in the form attached as Appendix B to this joint proxy
statement/prospectus, including the amendment being considered
by Community Bankers stockholders at the special meeting,
assuming it is adopted. In the event the Community Bankers
stockholders do not approve the proposal to adopt the amendment
to the certificate of incorporation, the merger will not be
completed unless Community Bankers and BOE agree otherwise.
Background
of the Merger
In early November 2006, Gary A. Simanson, president and chief
executive officer of Community Bankers, contacted Alexander F.
Dillard, Jr., chairman of BOE, to introduce himself and
engage in a general discussion regarding the banking environment
in Virginia, the history of BOE and its subsidiary bank, Bank of
Essex. Mr. Simanson and Mr. Dillard also discussed
Mr. Simansons experience and the concept of offering
community banks in the region a different alternative for
consolidating that would still maintain a local identity.
On November 21, 2006, Mr. Simanson met with
Mr. Dillard at his offices in Tappahannock, Virginia, to
continue their general discussion. Based on this meeting,
Mr. Dillard invited Mr. Simanson to return to
Tappahannock to meet with the executive management team of BOE.
On November 30, 2006, Mr. Simanson met with
Mr. Dillard, together with the executive management of BOE
that included George M. Longest, Jr., president and chief
executive officer of BOE, Bruce E. Thomas, chief financial
officer of BOE, and William E. Saunders, Jr., chief risk
and compliance officer of BOE, to discuss further their
backgrounds and views on the banking industry in Virginia and to
explore on a preliminary basis the advisability of a possible
business combination between Community Bankers and BOE.
Based on this meeting, Mr. Simanson contacted Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. to serve as financial advisor
for Community Bankers in connection with a potential transaction
with BOE. Mr. Simanson also contacted Nelson Mullins
Riley & Scarborough LLP to serve as legal counsel to
Community Bankers.
On January 16, 2007, Messrs. Simanson, Dillard,
Longest, Thomas and Saunders met in Richmond, Virginia, at the
offices of BOEs legal counsel to discuss the relative
merits and risks of a possible merger transaction. At this
meeting, Mr. Simanson presented a proposal for a merger of
the companies and the basic proposed terms of a definitive
merger agreement. Subsequent to this meeting, the parties held a
number of further discussions and meetings and reviewed the
proposed transaction with their respective legal and financial
advisors and boards of directors.
In March 2007, the parties determined that BOE, at that time,
was not interested in entering into a merger upon the general
terms proposed by Community Bankers, and the parties
discontinued any further discussions.
45
In June 2007, Community Bankers initiated discussions with
TransCommunity, which ultimately led to Community Bankers and
TransCommunity entering into a definitive agreement, dated
September 5, 2007, whereby TransCommunity would merge with
and into Community Bankers.
Shortly after the announcement of the proposed transaction with
TransCommunity, Mr. Simanson contacted Messrs. Dillard
and Longest to discuss the TransCommunity transaction and to
inquire about arranging a meeting with representatives of
TransCommunity, BOE and Mr. Simanson. On September 27,
2007, Mr. Simanson advised TransCommunity of the interest
of Community Bankers in exploring a merger with BOE and in
having representatives of management of TransCommunity attend a
meeting with BOE.
At its monthly meeting on September 27, 2007,
Mr. Longest advised the BOE board of directors that
Mr. Simanson had contacted him regarding the announced
transaction with TransCommunity and the interest of Community
Bankers in pursuing further discussions with BOE. The BOE board
of directors appointed a special committee to explore whether
BOE should engage in further discussions with Community Bankers
concerning a possible merger. The BOE special committee included
Messrs. Dillard and Longest, together with L. McCauley
Chenault, Page Emerson Hughes, Jr., and Philip T.
Minor. The BOE special committee determined that it would be
advisable for BOE to engage in further discussions with
Community Bankers and to obtain the information necessary to
make an informed recommendation to the full board of directors.
On October 1, 2007, Mr. Simanson met with
Mr. Longest to convey Community Bankers interest in
re-examining a potential merger with BOE and how such a merger
would fit in with the proposed merger of TransCommunity and
Community Bankers.
On October 4, 2007, Mr. Simanson, along with Bruce B.
Nolte, president and chief executive officer of TransCommunity,
and M. Andrew McLean, president of TransCommunity Bank, met with
Messrs. Dillard and Longest. A general discussion was
shared regarding the proposed merger of Community Bankers with
TransCommunity and the common experiences of BOE and
TransCommunity in the Richmond banking market.
On October 10, 2007, Messrs. Simanson, Dillard and
Longest met with representatives of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond and the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the
Virginia State Corporation Commission with respect to the
regulatory and related issues involved in a potential merger of
BOE and Community Bankers and the impact such a transaction may
have on the proposed merger of TransCommunity and Community
Bankers. Mr. Simanson also met with Mr. Nolte on
October 10, 2007, to discuss the potential merits of a
merger transaction with BOE. Discussions between representatives
of BOE and Community Bankers continued over the next couple of
weeks.
In a conference call on October 23, 2007 with the BOE
special committee, Mr. Longest brought the committee up to
date on managements analysis of Community Bankers and
TransCommunity. The BOE special committee determined that the
full board of directors should be informed and brought up to
date concerning the developments with Community Bankers, with a
recommendation that BOE continue its discussions with Community
Bankers.
At its regular monthly meeting on October 24, 2007, the BOE
board of directors was advised of the work of the special
committee and managements analysis of a potential merger
with Community Bankers. The BOE board of directors authorized
management to continue discussions with Community Bankers, to
proceed with the necessary and appropriate
on-site due
diligence investigations, and to retain a financial advisory
firm and legal counsel. Feldman Financial Advisors, Inc. was
retained to serve as the financial advisor for BOE, and
LeClairRyan, A Professional Corporation, was retained as legal
counsel.
During Community Bankers regularly scheduled board of
directors meeting on October 29, 2007, Mr. Simanson
apprised the board of directors of the developments in the
discussions with BOE and requested formal approval of and
authority to continue discussions with BOE. The Community
Bankers board of directors unanimously authorized
Mr. Simanson to continue to pursue discussions with BOE to
the end that a definitive agreement be presented to the board of
directors for further consideration.
On November 4, 2007, members of BOEs and
TransCommunitys respective special committees, along with
Mr. Simanson, held a dinner meeting at the offices of
Mr. Dillard to discuss further a potential merger of BOE
with Community Bankers and to get acquainted socially.
46
On November 5, 2007, counsel for Community Bankers
delivered to BOE and its counsel a draft of the definitive
merger agreement. Negotiations began immediately between counsel
for Community Bankers and BOE over the terms and conditions of
the draft merger agreement.
During the weekend of November 9-11, 2007, Community Bankers,
TransCommunity and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.
conducted
on-site due
diligence investigation of BOE. During the following weekend,
BOE and its financial and legal advisors performed an
on-site due
diligence investigation of TransCommunity that included
interviews with Mr. Simanson and members of management of
TransCommunity.
On November 20, 2007, the BOE special committee held a
conference call with its financial and legal advisors. The BOE
special committee agreed on a price range that represented what
they considered a fair price and directed Trent R. Feldman, of
Feldman Financial, to negotiate directly with Community Bankers
on the its behalf with respect to certain financial issues.
Negotiations continued between counsel concerning various other
terms and conditions set forth in the merger agreement,
including the terms and conditions of the proposed employment
agreements between Community Bankers and Messrs. Longest
and Thomas that would become effective upon the closing of the
merger.
On November 28, 2007, the BOE special committee met with
BOEs financial and legal advisors. Mr. Feldman
presented certain financial information and indicated that
Community Bankers was willing to offer $42.50 for each share of
BOE common stock, which corresponded to 5.7278 shares of
Community Bankers common stock based on an agreed value of
$7.42 for each share of such stock. After discussion, the BOE
special committee requested that management call a special board
meeting on November 30, 2007, to bring the BOE board of
directors up to date and hear the presentations from BOEs
financial and legal advisors.
On November 30, 2007, the BOE board of directors met to

A Professional Corporation, and Feldman Financial were present.
Management reviewed for the BOE board of directors the progress
of its negotiations with Community Bankers and reported on the
status of its due diligence investigation of Community Bankers
and TransCommunity. Counsel for BOE discussed with the board of
directors the legal standards applicable to its decisions and
actions with respect to its consideration of the proposed
merger, and reviewed the structure and legal terms and
conditions of the proposed merger agreement and related
agreements, including the terms of the proposed employment
agreements for Messrs. Longest and Thomas. Representatives
of Feldman Financial reviewed with the BOE board of directors
the financial terms of the merger and financial information
regarding Community Bankers, TransCommunity, BOE and the merger,
as well as information regarding peer companies and comparable
transactions. Representatives from Feldman Financial indicated
to the BOE board of directors that it would be prepared to
render an opinion that the exchange ratio was fair, from a
financial point of view, to BOEs stockholders. After
discussion, the BOE board of directors decided to meet on
December 3, 2007, without the participation of its
financial and legal advisors, to discuss further the potential
merger.
On November 30, 2007, the Community Bankers board of
directors held a special meeting. At that meeting,
Mr. Simanson apprised the board of directors that he
believed that substantial agreement with BOE had been reached
and that BOEs board of directors was expected to meet on
December 5, 2007, and approve the transaction with
Community Bankers. Among other things, the Community
Bankers board of directors discussed the BOE transaction
as well as the strategic implications with respect to the merger
with TransCommunity, financial statements required for the
mergers as a whole and the impact on the timing and cost of the
mergers.
The BOE board of directors met on the afternoon of
December 3, 2007, with Messrs. Longest and Thomas to
discuss and consider the information presented at its meeting on
November 30, 2007. The BOE board of directors discussed the
history of BOE, its potential for growth going forward
considering the current banking environment, and the structure
of the combined company after consummation of the merger. There
was also a discussion regarding alternatives and how the
interest of the stockholders would be best served. After further
discussion, the BOE board of directors decided to meet on
December 5, 2007, to receive the final reports from its
financial and legal advisors.
On December 5, 2007, Community Bankers board of
directors held a special meeting. At its meeting the Community
Bankers board of directors received presentations from
Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP on

economics of the proposed BOE transaction. Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. advised the Community Bankers
board of directors that his firm was prepared to issue an
opinion that the transaction was fair from a financial point of
view to Community Bankers. Community Bankers board of
directors thereupon approved the form of the BOE merger
agreement and authorized the chief executive officer to execute
and deliver the merger agreement, subject to the consent of
TransCommunity.
Also on December 5, 2007, the BOE board of directors
continued its consideration of the proposed merger agreement.
Representatives from its financial and legal advisory firms were
present. In connection with its deliberations, Feldman Financial
rendered to the BOE board of directors its oral opinion that, as
of that date, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial
point of view, to BOEs stockholders. After further review
and discussion, the BOE board of directors determined that the
transaction contemplated by the merger agreement and the related
agreements are advisable and in the best interests of BOE and
its stockholders, and the directors voted unanimously to approve
the merger with Community Bankers, to approve the merger
agreement, and to approve the related agreements. The approvals
were made expressly subject to, and contingent upon, the receipt
from TransCommunity of its consent to the merger. Accordingly,
no executed copies of the merger agreement and related
agreements were exchanged with Community Bankers and no public
announcement was made.
Over the course of the following week, discussions continued
between Community Bankers and TransCommunity concerning the
delivery of its consent to the BOE transaction.
On December 12, 2007, Community Bankers board of
directors held a special meeting at which Community
Bankers chief executive officer reported on the status of
the proposed merger with BOE. Mr. Simanson also reported
that, subject to Community Bankers board of
directors approval, he had consented to the payment by
TransCommunity of a one-time special dividend payable to its
stockholders immediately prior to the closing of the merger with
Community Bankers. Community Bankers board of directors
reaffirmed its approval on December 5, 2007, of the BOE
merger agreement and approved Community Bankers consent to
the payment of the special dividend by TransCommunity.
On December 12, 2007, the BOE board of directors met to
receive an update by from management and its financial and legal
advisors on the status of the consent from TransCommunity. The
meeting was adjourned and reconvened at

board of directors voted unanimously to consent to the proposed
merger between BOE and Community Bankers and that in
anticipation of the mergers, TransCommunity planned to declare a
one-time special dividend in the amount of $0.25 per share to
TransCommunity stockholders, which would be paid immediately
prior to the effective time of the merger with TransCommunity
and after all conditions to the closing are satisfied.
Representatives of Feldman Financial provided an updated
financial analysis of the transaction after taking into account
the effect of the payment of the proposed special dividend.
Feldman Financial rendered to the BOE board of directors its
updated oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in
writing, as described under Opinion of
BOEs Financial Advisor, that, as of the date of its
opinion, the exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of
view, to BOEs stockholders. After further review and
discussion, the BOE board of directors unanimously approved and
adopted the merger agreement, dated as of December 13,
2007, and the related agreements, provided that TransCommunity
deliver its consent to Community Bankers by 5:00 p.m. on
December 13, 2007, with such consent to be in form and
substance satisfactory to management of BOE and its counsel.
On December 13, 2007, TransCommunity delivered its consent
to Community Bankers approving the merger with BOE, and
Community Bankers delivered its consent to TransCommunity to pay
the special dividend. Community Bankers and BOE executed the
merger agreement on that date and the following day issued a
joint press release announcing the transaction.
The
Proposed Merger between Community Bankers and
TransCommunity
On September 5, 2007, Community Bankers entered into the
agreement and plan of merger with TransCommunity. TransCommunity
is a registered financial holding company incorporated under the
laws of Virginia and is the holding company of TransCommunity
Bank. TransCommunity is headquartered in Glen Allen, Virginia
and TransCommunity Bank operates five full service offices in
its four operating divisions in Goochland, Powhatan,
48
Louisa and Rockbridge, Virginia. TransCommunity Bank had
deposits of $192.0 million, loans of $189.0 million,
assets of $223.0 million and equity of $29.9 million,
at September 30, 2007. The merger agreement by and between
Community Bankers and TransCommunity provides for the merger of
TransCommunity with and into Community Bankers with Community
Bankers as the surviving corporation. The headquarters of the
surviving corporation will be the current headquarters of
TransCommunity. Following the merger with BOE, TransCommunity
Bank will merge with and into Bank of Essex which will be a
wholly-owned subsidiary bank of Community Bankers, and will
operate each bank division of Bank of Essex under their current
names. Community Bankers must complete its merger with
TransCommunity by June 7, 2008 or under its certificate of
incorporation it must dissolve and liquidate.
Based on the respective companies balance sheet at
September 30, 2007, assuming no Community Bankers
stockholders exercise their conversion rights in the merger with
TransCommunity, by combining Community Bankers with
TransCommunity and BOE, the resulting company would have
approximately $625.6 million in assets, $399.6 million
in loans, $433.0 million in deposits and have stockholders
equity of approximately $160.9 million. As a result of the
proposed merger of Community Bankers and TransCommunity, each
share of TransCommunity common stock will be converted into
1.4200 shares of Community Bankers common stock, subject to
possible adjustment. If the daily average closing price for
Community Bankers common stock for the 20 consecutive days
of trading in such stock ending five days before the closing
date is less than $7.42, Community Bankers will increase the
exchange ratio to the quotient obtained by dividing $10.5364 by
such daily average closing price. The aggregate consideration to
be paid to the stockholders of TransCommunity will be
approximately $48.7 million. Upon completion of Community
Bankers merger with TransCommunity, each award, option, or
other right to purchase or acquire shares of TransCommunity
common stock pursuant to stock options, stock appreciation
rights, or stock awards granted by TransCommunity under
TransCommunitys stock incentive plans, equity compensation
plans and stock option plans, which are outstanding immediately
prior to the merger, whether or not exercisable, will be
converted into and become rights with respect to Community
Bankers common stock, and Community Bankers will assume each
right, in accordance with the terms of the relevant
TransCommunity stock plan and stock option agreement.
In reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and
recommend the merger to its stockholders, the Community Bankers
board of directors reviewed various financial data and due
diligence and evaluation materials and made an independent
determination of fair market value. In addition, in reaching its
decision to approve the merger agreement, the board of directors
considered a number of factors, both positive and negative. It
believes that the non-exhaustive list of factors below strongly
supports its determination to approve the merger agreement and
recommendation that its stockholders adopt the merger agreement.
The positive factors included:
|
|
|
|
|
the markets in which TransCommunity operates;
|
|
|
|
the growth prospects associated with TransCommunity;
|
|
|
|
the balance sheet
make-up and
product mix, including the loan and deposit mix of
TransCommunity;
|
|
|
|
opportunities to grow existing revenue streams and create new
revenue streams associated with TransCommunity;
|
|
|
|

TransCommunitys subsidiary banks charters and
existing non-core business lines;
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
the companies similar community banking philosophies;
|
|
|
|
the financial results of TransCommunity, including potential for
revenue growth, enhanced operating margins and operating
efficiencies; and
|
|
|
|
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.s fairness opinion
that the merger is fair to Community Bankers from a financial
point of view.
|
Negative factors that Community Bankers board of directors
considered included:
|
|
|
|
|
TransCommunitys poor earnings history;
|
|
|
|
the disruption that TransCommunity had experienced with its
management and board of directors;
|
|
|
|
the reputational risk that these issues could raise;
|
|
|
|

subsidiary banks; and
|
|
|
|
whether other banks would be attracted to join the franchise,
although there were and are no plans, arrangements, agreements
or understandings other than Community Bankers proposed
merger with BOE.
|
After reviewing all of these factors, the Community Bankers
board of directors unanimously determined that the merger
proposal and the transactions contemplated thereby are in the
best interests of Community Bankers and unanimously recommended
that Community Bankers stockholders vote at the annual
meeting to adopt the merger agreement.
In reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and
recommend the merger to its stockholders, the TransCommunity
board of directors relied heavily on a special committee
comprised of three independent directors who have substantial
experience in financial and strategic matters involving public
companies. The board also consulted with TransCommunity
management, engaged legal and financial advisors, reviewed
various financial data, due diligence and evaluation materials,
and made an independent determination that the proposed merger
with Community Bankers was fair to TransCommunitys
stockholders from a financial point of view. The board of
directors considered a number of factors, positive and negative,
in determining whether to recommend that TransCommunitys
stockholders approve the merger agreement. The positive factors
included:
|
|
|
|
|
the premium over the companys prevailing stock price to be
received by TransCommunitys stockholders;

stockholders will receive relative to the projected book value
and earnings per share of TransCommunity common stock;

TransCommunitys stockholders will receive as a result of
the merger is fair from a financial point of view;
|
|

shares in a larger company traded on the American Stock
Exchange, which will potentially provide greater liquidity for
TransCommunity stockholders to sell their shares quickly and
efficiently than under the existing OTC Bulletin Board
system;
|
|
|
|
the fact that the exchange ratio is fixed in the event that
Community Bankers stock price increases before closing,
but is adjustable in the event that Community Bankers
stock price decreases, thereby affording TransCommunitys
stockholders a combination of upside participation and downside
protection;
|
|
|
|
the additional capital to support a larger bank;
|
|
|
|
the potential for the combined company to attract merger
candidates that TransCommunity would not be likely to attract on
its own;
|
|
|
|
the proposed merger would be a strategic merger of equals in
which the combined companies may achieve a level of growth that
neither company could achieve on its own;
|
|
|
|
the financial terms of recent business combinations in the
financial services industry and a comparison of the multiples of
selected combinations with the terms of the merger;
|
|
|
|
the skills and experience offered by the Community Bankers
management and board of directors;
|
50
|
|
|
|
|
the anticipated compatibility of management and business
philosophy of Community Bankers and TransCommunity;
|
|
|
|
the projected positive value of Community Bankers shares
offered to TransCommunitys stockholders in relation to the
estimated market value, book value, and earnings per share of
TransCommunity common stock;
|
|
|
|
the competitive and regulatory environment for financial
institutions generally; and
|
|
|
|
the fact that the merger will enable TransCommunitys
stockholders to exchange their shares of common stock in a
tax-free transaction.
|
The negative factors included:
|
|
|
|
|
the dilution of ownership rights of TransCommunitys
stockholders;
|
|
|
|
the reduction in the level of control that TransCommunitys
stockholders would have in the surviving corporation;
|
|
|
|
no special purposes acquisition company transactions have been
completed in the banking industry;
|
|
|
|
TransCommunity was enjoying progress with its strategic plan,
including recently consolidating its subsidiary banks into one
subsidiary; and
|
|
|
|
potential stockholder opposition to the merger.
|
After reviewing all of these factors, the TransCommunity board
of directors unanimously determined that the merger proposal and
the transactions contemplated thereby are in the best interests
of TransCommunity and unanimously recommended that
TransCommunitys stockholders vote at the special meeting
to approve the merger proposal.
Under the merger agreement by and between Community Bankers and
TransCommunity, each of Community Bankers and TransCommunity has
agreed, except as otherwise contemplated by the merger agreement
or with the prior written consent of the other party, and to
cause its subsidiaries to:
|
|
|
|
|
operate its business only in the usual, regular, and ordinary
course;
|
|
|
|
use reasonable efforts to preserve intact its business
organization and assets and maintain its rights and franchises;
|
|
|
|
use reasonable efforts to cause its representations and
warranties to be correct at all times;
|
|
|
|
in the case of TransCommunity only, use reasonable efforts to
provide all information requested by Community Bankers related
to loans or other transactions made by TransCommunity with a
value equal to or exceeding $250,000;
|
|
|
|
in the case of TransCommunity only, consult with Community
Bankers prior to entering into or making any loans or other
transactions with a value equal to or exceeding
$500,000; and
|
|
|
|
take no action which would (1) adversely affect the ability
of any party to obtain any consents required for the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement without
imposition of a condition or restriction which, in the
reasonable judgment of the board of directors of Community
Bankers or the board of directors of TransCommunity, would so
materially adversely impact the economic or business benefits of
the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement as to
render inadvisable the consummation of the merger, or
(2) materially adversely affect the ability of either party
to perform its covenants and agreements under the merger
agreement.
|
Consummation of Community Bankers merger with
TransCommunity is subject to a number of conditions, including
receipt of the required stockholder approval from both Community
Bankers and TransCommunity stockholders, regulatory (Federal
Reserve Board and Virginia State Corporation Commissions
Bureau of Financial Institutions) approvals as well as
satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions.
51
Community Bankers and TransCommunity have prepared a separate
joint proxy statement/prospectus relating to the merger of
Community Bankers and TransCommunity, which has been mailed to
Community Bankers and TransCommunity stockholders in connection
with the annual meeting of the stockholders of Community Bankers
and the special meeting of the stockholders of TransCommunity at
which a proposal to approve the merger of Community Bankers and
TransCommunity will be considered.
The merger with TransCommunity is Community Bankers
initial business combination, and Community Bankers
certificate of incorporation mandates certain voting
requirements for its initial business combination. Pursuant to
Community Bankers certificate of incorporation, adoption
of the merger agreement relating to the initial business
combination requires the affirmative vote of holders of a
majority of Community Bankers outstanding shares of common stock
issued in Community Bankers initial public offering and
voted at the meeting.
In addition, for an initial business combination, the holders of
the shares of common stock issued in Community Bankers initial
public offering have the right to convert their shares into cash
equal to a pro rata portion of the Community Bankers trust
account if they vote against the merger. For Community Bankers
to complete its merger with TransCommunity, the holders of less
than 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock issued in the
Community Bankers initial public offering must have
exercised their conversion rights.
Also pursuant to Delaware law, adoption of the merger agreement
with TransCommunity requires the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of Community Bankers
common stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting.
Community
Bankers Reasons for the Merger with BOE
In reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and
recommend the merger to its stockholders, the Community Bankers
board of directors reviewed various financial data and due
diligence and evaluation materials. In addition, in reaching its
decision to approve the merger agreement, the board of directors
considered a number of factors and believes that the
non-exhaustive list of factors below strongly supports its

its branch network;
|
|
|
|
BOEs demonstrated deposit and loan growth and history of
consistent earnings;
|
|
|
|
BOEs attractive balance sheet

including George M. Longest, Jr., the current president and
chief executive officer of BOE who will become president of
Community Bankers after the merger and chief executive officer
commencing on January 1, 2010;
|
|
|
|

of the transaction;
|
|
|
|

point of view.
|
The board of directors of Community Bankers did not ascertain
any negative factors related to the proposed merger with BOE
other than the risk of the ability to successfully integrate BOE
with TransCommunity and achieve the associated cost savings and
efficiencies.
After reviewing all of these factors, the Community Bankers
board of directors unanimously determined that the merger
proposal and the transactions contemplated thereby are in the
best interests of Community Bankers and unanimously recommended
that Community Bankers stockholders vote at the special
meeting to adopt the merger agreement.
In addition, Community Bankers board knew and considered
the financial interests of certain Community Bankers directors
and executives when it approved the merger agreement. These
financial interests are addressed in greater detail under the
heading Certain Benefits of Directors and
Officers of Community Bankers and BOE.
The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by Community
Bankers board of directors is not intended to be
exhaustive but is believed to include all material factors
considered by Community Bankers board of directors. In
view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection
with its evaluation of the merger and the complexity of these
matters, Community Bankers board of directors did not find
it useful and did not attempt to quantify or assign any relative
or specific weight to the various factors that it considered in
reaching its determination to approve the merger.
The Community Bankers board of directors believes the merger
is in the best interests of Community Bankers and its
stockholders. The Community Bankers board of directors
recommends that Community Bankers stockholders vote
FOR the approval of the merger proposal and

BOEs
Reasons for the Merger
In reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and
recommend the merger to its stockholders, the BOE board of
directors consulted with BOE management, as well as with its
outside financial and legal advisors, reviewed various financial
data, due diligence and evaluation materials and made an
independent determination that the proposed merger with
Community Bankers was in the best interests of BOE and its
stockholders. The board of directors considered a number of
positive factors that it believes support its recommendation
that BOEs stockholders approve the merger agreement,
including:
|
|
|
|
|
the premium over BOEs prevailing stock price to be
received by BOEs stockholders;
|
|
|
|
the financial analysis and presentation of Feldman Financial,
and its oral opinion that, as of December 12, 2007, the
exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to
BOEs stockholders. For more information, see
Opinion of BOEs Financial Advisor;
|
|
|
|
the fact that the exchange ratio is fixed in the event that
Community Bankers stock price increases before closing,
but is adjustable in the event that Community Bankers
stock price decreases, thereby affording BOEs stockholders
a combination of upside participation and downside protection;
|
|
|
|
its belief that the surviving corporations increased size
and scale, including its significantly larger pro forma capital
base, would better position it to compete and grow its business
and to attract other high quality merger candidates;
|
|
|
|
its belief that the surviving corporation will be positioned to
benefit from increased credit portfolio diversity and increased
lending capacity;
|
53
|
|
|
|
|
the corporate governance provisions established for the merger,
including the composition of the surviving corporations
board of directors and the designation of key senior management
of the surviving corporation and their proposed employment
arrangements;
|
|
|
|
its knowledge and analysis of the current competitive and
regulatory environment for financial institutions generally,
BOEs current competitive position and the other potential
strategic alternatives available to BOE, including remaining
independent, accelerating branch growth, making acquisitions,
developing or acquiring non-bank businesses and selling BOE to a
larger financial institution;
|
|
|
|
the skills and experience offered by the Community Bankers
management;
|
|
|
|
its review of Community Bankers financial condition and
TransCommunitys financial condition, earnings, business
operations and prospects, taking into account the results of
BOEs due diligence investigation of Community Bankers and
TransCommunity, and the anticipated compatibility of management
and shared business philosophy of Community Bankers,
TransCommunity, and BOE;
|
|
|
|
the assessment of the likelihood that the merger would be
completed in a timely manner without unacceptable regulatory
conditions or requirements, including that no branch
divestitures would likely be required, and the ability of the
management team to successfully integrate and operate the
business of the surviving corporation after the merger; and
|
|
|
|
the fact that the merger will enable BOEs stockholders to
exchange their shares of BOE, in a tax-free transaction, for
registered shares of common stock of a company that will have a
significantly larger pro forma market capitalization.
|
The BOE board also considered the risks and potentially negative
factors outlined below, but concluded that the anticipated
benefits of combining with Community Bankers were likely to
outweigh substantially these risks and factors. The risks and
factors included:
|
|
|
|
|
the dilution of ownership rights of BOEs stockholders;
|
|
|
|
no special purposes acquisition company transactions have been
completed in the banking industry;
|
|
|
|
the risk that Community Bankers may not be able to close the
proposed merger with TransCommunity due to potential stockholder
opposition;
|
|
|
|
whether other banks would be attracted to join the franchise;
|
|
|
|
the poor earnings history of TransCommunity;
|
|
|
|
the possibility that the merger and the related integration
process could result in the loss of key employees, in the
disruption of BOEs on-going business, and in the loss of
customers; and
|
|
|
|
the risks of the type and nature described under A Warning
about Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors.
|
After reviewing all of these factors, the BOE board of directors
unanimously determined that the merger proposal and the
transactions contemplated thereby are in the best interests of
BOE and unanimously recommended that BOEs stockholders
vote at the special meeting to adopt the merger agreement.
BOEs board of directors knew and considered the financial
interests of certain BOE directors and executives when it
approved the merger agreement. These financial interests are
addressed in greater detail under the heading
Certain Benefits of Directors and Officers of
Community Bankers and BOE.
The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by BOEs
board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive but is
believed to include all material factors considered by
BOEs board of directors. In view of the wide variety of
factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the
merger and the complexity of these matters, the BOE board of
directors did not find it useful and did not attempt to quantify
or assign any relative or specific weight to the various factors
that it considered in reaching its determination to approve the
merger.
54
Based on the foregoing, the BOE board of directors believes
the merger is in the best interests of BOE and its stockholders.
The BOE board of directors recommends that BOEs
stockholders vote FOR the approval of the
merger proposal and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby.

engagement agreement with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods,
Inc. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.s engagement
encompassed assisting Community Bankers in analyzing,
structuring, negotiating and effecting a transaction with BOE.
Community Bankers selected Keefe, Bruyette & Woods,
Inc. because Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. is a
nationally recognized investment-banking firm with substantial
experience in transactions similar to the merger and is familiar
with Community Bankers and its business. As part of its
investment banking business, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods,
Inc. is continually engaged in the valuation of financial
businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and
acquisitions.
On December 5, 2007, the Community Bankers board of
directors held a meeting to evaluate the proposed merger of BOE
with and into Community Bankers. At this meeting, Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. reviewed the financial aspects
of the proposed merger. On December 13, 2007, Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. rendered a written opinion to
Community Bankers as to the fairness to Community Bankers, from
a financial point of view, of the exchange ratio to be paid in
the merger.
The full text of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods,
Inc.s written opinion is attached as Appendix C to
this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated herein
by reference. Community Bankers stockholders are urged to
read the opinion in its entirety for a description of the
procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and
qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. The description of the
opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of such opinion.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.s opinion speaks
only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion is directed to
the Community Bankers board and addresses only the fairness,
from a financial point of view to Community Bankers, of the
exchange ratio offered in the merger. It does not address the
underlying business decision to proceed with the merger and does
not constitute a recommendation to any Community Bankers
stockholder as to how the stockholder should vote at the
Community Bankers special meeting on the merger or any related
matter.
During the past two years Keefe, Bruyette & Woods,
Inc. acted as financial advisor to Community Bankers in its
proposed acquisition of TransCommunity.
In rendering its opinion, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods,
Inc.:
|
|
|
|
|
reviewed, among other things,
|
|
|
|
|
|
the merger agreement,
|
|
|
|
annual reports to stockholders and annual reports on
Form 10-K
of BOE,
|
|
|
|
quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q
of BOE,
|
|
|
|
annual reports to stockholders and annual reports on
Form 10-K
of Community Bankers, and
|
|
|
|
quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q

Bankers and BOE regarding,
|
|
|

regulatory relationships,
|
|
|
|
financial condition, and
|
|
|
|
future prospects of the respective companies;
|
55
|
|
|
|
|
reviewed the market prices, valuation multiples, publicly
reported financial condition and results of operations for BOE
and compared them with those of certain publicly traded
companies that Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. deemed to
be relevant;
|
|
|
|
compared the proposed financial terms of the merger with the
financial terms of certain other transactions that Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. deemed to be relevant;
|
|
|
|
evaluated the potential pro forma impact of the merger with
Community Bankers, including cost savings, that management of
Community Bankers expects to result from a combination of the
businesses of Community Bankers and BOE; and
|
|
|
|
performed other studies and analyses that it considered
appropriate.
|
In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. relied upon and assumed the
accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other
information provided to or otherwise made available to Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. or that was discussed with, or
reviewed by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., or that was
publicly available. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. did
not attempt, or assume any responsibility, to verify such
information independently. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods,
Inc. relied upon the management of BOE and Community Bankers as
to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and
operating forecasts and projections (and assumptions and bases
therefor) provided to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. assumed, without
independent verification, that the aggregate allowances for loan
and lease losses for BOE are adequate to cover those losses.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. did not make or obtain
any evaluations or appraisals of any assets or liabilities of
BOE or Community Bankers, nor did they examine or review any
individual credit files.
At the direction of Community Bankers board of directors,
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. was not asked to, and it
did not, offer any opinion as to the terms of the merger
agreement or the form of the merger, other than the exchange
ratio, to the extent expressly specified in Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc.s opinion. Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. expressed no opinion as to what
the value of Community Bankers common stock would be when issued
pursuant to the merger or the prices at which Community Bankers
common stock or BOE common stock would trade at any time.
Additionally, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.s
opinion did not address the relative merits of the merger as
compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist
for Community Bankers, nor did it address the effect of any
other business combination in which Community Bankers might
engage.
For purposes of rendering its opinion, Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. assumed that, in all respects
material to its analyses:
|
|
|
|
|
the merger will be completed substantially in accordance with
the terms set forth in the merger agreement;
|
|
|
|
the representations and warranties of each party in the merger
agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred
to in the merger agreement are true and correct;
|
|
|
|
each party to the merger agreement and all related documents
will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be
performed by such party under such documents;
|
|
|
|
all conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied
without any waivers; and
|
|
|
|
in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory,
contractual, or other consents or approvals for the merger, no
restrictions, including any divestiture requirements,
termination or other payments or amendments or modifications,
that may be imposed, will have a material adverse effect on the
future results of operations or financial condition of the
combined entity or the contemplated benefits of the merger,
including the cost savings, revenue enhancements and related
expenses expected to result from the merger.
|
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. further assumed that the
merger will be accounted for as a purchase transaction under
generally accepted accounting principles, and that the merger
will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for United States
federal income tax purposes. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods,
Inc.s opinion is not an expression of an opinion as to the
prices at which shares of BOE common stock or Community Bankers
common stock will trade since the announcement of the proposed
merger or the actual value of the Community Bankers common
shares
56
when issued pursuant to the merger, or the prices at which the
Community Bankers common shares will trade following the
completion of the merger.
In performing its analyses, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods,
Inc. made numerous assumptions with respect to industry
performance, general business, economic, market and financial
conditions and other matters, which are beyond the control of
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., BOE and Community
Bankers. Any estimates contained in the analyses performed by
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. are not necessarily
indicative of actual values or future results, which may be
significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these
analyses. Additionally, estimates of the value of businesses or
securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the
prices at which such businesses or securities might actually be
sold. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently
subject to substantial uncertainty.
The exchange ratio was determined through negotiation between
Community Bankers and BOE and the decision to enter into the
merger was made solely by Community Bankers board of
directors. In addition, the Keefe, Bruyette & Woods,
Inc. opinion was among several factors taken into consideration
by the Community Bankers board in making its determination to
approve the merger agreement and the merger. Consequently, the
analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative
of the decision of the Community Bankers board with respect to
the fairness of the consideration to be paid in the merger.
Summary
of Analysis by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods,
Inc.
The following is a summary of the material analyses presented by
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. to the Community Bankers
board, in connection with its written fairness opinion. The
summary is not a complete description of the analyses underlying
the Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. opinion or the
presentation made by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. to
the Community Bankers board, but summarizes the material
analyses performed and presented in connection with such
opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex
analytic process involving various determinations as to the most
appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the
application of those methods to the particular circumstances.
Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to
partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its
opinion, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. did not
attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that
it considered, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the
significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. The
financial analyses summarized below include information
presented in tabular format. Accordingly, Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. believes that its analyses and
the summary of its analyses must be considered as a whole and
that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing
on the information presented below in tabular format, without
considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative
description of the financial analyses, including the
methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could
create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying
its analyses and opinion. The tables alone do not constitute a
complete description of the financial analyses.
Summary of Proposal. BOE stockholders will
receive 5.7278 shares of Community Bankers common stock,
subject to possible adjustment. Based on Community Bankers
closing stock price on December 4, 2007 of $7.44, the
exchange ratio represented a value of $42.61 per share to BOE.

Transaction multiples for the merger were derived from an offer
price of $42.61 per share for BOE. For each precedent
transaction, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. derived and
compared, among other things, the implied ratio of price per
common share paid for the acquired company to:
|
|
|
|
|
the earnings per share of the acquired company for the latest
12 months of results publicly available prior to the time
the transaction was announced;
|
|
|
|
book value per share of the acquired company based on the latest
publicly available financial statements of the company available
prior to the announcement of the acquisition.
|
|
|
|
tangible book value per share of the acquired company based on
the latest publicly available financial statements of the
company available prior to the announcement of the acquisition.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, for each precedent transaction, Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. derived and compared the
premium paid in aggregate consideration over tangible book value
to core deposits. Core deposits were defined as total deposits
less jumbo CDs (CDs with balances greater than $100,000).

Based on BOEs closing price of $26.38 on December 4,
2007 |
No company or transaction used as a comparison in the above
analysis is identical to Community Bankers, BOE or the proposed
merger. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not
mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and
judgments concerning differences in financial and operating
characteristics of the companies involved.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. performed a discounted cash
flow analysis to estimate a range for the implied equity value
per share of BOE common stock. In this analysis, Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. assumed discount rates ranging
from 11.0% to 14.0% to derive (1) the present value of the
estimated free cash flows that BOE could generate over a five
year period, including certain cost savings forecasted as a
result of the merger, and (2) the present value of
BOEs terminal value at the end of year five. Terminal
values for BOE were calculated based on a range of 13.0x to
15.0x estimated year six earnings per share. In performing this
analysis, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. used
BOEs managements estimates for the first year. Based
on managements estimates, Keefe, Bruyette &
Woods, Inc. assumed 8% earnings per share growth thereafter.
Certain data was adjusted to account for certain restructuring
charges anticipated by management to result from the merger.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. assumed that BOE would
maintain a tangible equity / tangible asset ratio of
6.00% and would retain sufficient earnings to maintain that
level. Any earnings in excess of what would need to be retained
represented dividendable cash flows for BOE.
Based on these assumptions, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods,
Inc. derived a range of implied equity values per share of BOE
common stock of $40.96 to $51.62.
The discounted cash flow analysis is a widely used valuation
methodology, but the results of such methodology are highly
dependent on the assumptions that must be made, including asset
and earnings growth rates, terminal values, dividend payout
rates, and discount rates. The analysis did not purport to be
indicative of the actual values or expected values of BOE common
stock.
Forecasted Pro Forma Financial
Analysis. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.
analyzed the estimated financial impact of the merger on
Community Bankers 2008 estimated earnings per share. For
both Community Bankers and BOE, Keefe, Bruyette &
Woods, Inc. used management estimates of earnings per share for
2008. In addition, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.
assumed that the merger will result in cost savings equal to
Community Bankers managements estimates. Based on
its analysis, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. determined
that the merger would be accretive to Community Bankers
estimated GAAP earnings per share in 2008.
Furthermore, the analysis indicated that Community Bankers
Leverage Ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio and Total
Risk Based Capital Ratio would all remain well
capitalized by regulatory standards. This analysis was
based on internal projections provided by Community
Bankers and BOEs senior management teams. For all of
the above analysis, the actual results achieved by Community
Bankers following the merger may vary from the projected
results, and the variations may be material.
Other Analyses. Keefe, Bruyette &
Woods, Inc. reviewed the relative financial and market
performance BOE to a variety of relevant industry peer groups
and indices. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. also
reviewed earnings estimates, balance sheet composition,
historical stock performance and other financial data for BOE.

Woods, Inc. as an independent contractor to act as financial
adviser to Community Bankers regarding the merger. As part of
its investment banking business, Keefe, Bruyette &
Woods, Inc. is continually engaged in the valuation of banking
businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and
acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings,
secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities,
private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and
other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking
companies, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. has
experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking
enterprises. In the ordinary course of its business as a
broker-dealer, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. may, from
time to time, purchase securities from, and sell securities to,
Community Bankers and BOE. As a market maker in securities
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. may from time to time
have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or
equity securities of Community Bankers and BOE for Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc.s own account and for the

have entered into an agreement relating to the services to be
provided by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. in
connection with the merger. Community Bankers paid to Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. at the time Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. issued the fairness opinion in

$125,000 and has agreed to pay to Keefe, Bruyette &
Woods, Inc. an additional cash fee of $375,000 at the time of
and contingent upon the closing of the proposed merger with BOE.
Pursuant to the Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.
engagement agreement, Community Bankers also agreed to reimburse
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. for reasonable

Opinion
of BOEs Financial Advisor
BOE retained Feldman Financial on November 16, 2007 to
provide strategic financial advice to the BOE board on various
matters, including the evaluation of a strategic business
combination and the potential enhancement of stockholder value.
At the December 13, 2007 meeting of the BOE board of
directors, Feldman Financial delivered an oral opinion to the
BOE board, which opinion was subsequently confirmed in writing,
that as of such date and subject to certain considerations set
forth in such opinion, the merger consideration to be received
by the holders of BOE common stock was fair, from a financial
point of view, to BOEs stockholders.
The full text of Feldman Financials written opinion
dated December 13, 2007, which sets forth a description of
the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered
and limitations on the review undertaken, is attached as
Appendix D to this document. You should read the opinion
carefully and in its entirety. Feldman Financials opinion
is directed to the BOE board and addresses only the merger
consideration. The opinion does not address the underlying
business decision of BOE to engage in the transaction and does
not constitute a recommendation to you as to how to vote at the
special meeting. The summary of Feldman Financials opinion
set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full text of such
opinion.
In rendering its opinion, Feldman Financial, among other things:
|
|
|
|
|
reviewed the merger agreement;
|
|
|
|
analyzed audited and unaudited historical financial information
contained in
Forms 10-K
and 10-Q
concerning BOE and TransCommunity for the last three fiscal
years ending December 31, 2006 and monthly and quarterly
financial information through September 30, 2007;
|
|
|
|
analyzed audited and unaudited historical financial information
contained in
Forms 10-K
and 10-Q
concerning Community Bankers from its inception on April 6,
2005 through September 30, 2007;
|
|
|
|
the merger agreement by and between Community Bankers and
TransCommunity dated September 5, 2007 and the written
consent and waiver by and between Community Bankers and
TransCommunity dated December 13, 2007 relating to
Community Bankers entering into the merger agreement with
BOE;
|
|
|
|
discussed past, present, and future financial performance and
operating philosophies with the senior management of BOE and
TransCommunity;
|
61
|
|
|
|
|
reviewed certain internal financial data and financial
projections of BOE and TransCommunity;
|
|
|
|
compared the financial condition, operating performance and
market trading characteristics of BOE and TransCommunity to
similar financial institutions;
|
|
|
|
reviewed the stock price trading history of BOE, TransCommunity
and Community Bankers;
|
|
|
|
reviewed the terms of recent acquisitions of companies which we
deemed appropriate; and
|
|
|
|
conducted such other studies, analyses, inquiries, and
investigations as we deemed appropriate for the purposes of this
opinion.
|
In preparing its opinion, Feldman Financial assumed and relied
upon the accuracy and completeness of all financial and other
information that it received, reviewed, or discussed. With
respect to certain financial forecasts, Feldman Financial
assumed that such forecasts were reasonably prepared on bases
reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments
of the management of BOE and TransCommunity. Neither BOE nor
TransCommunity publicly discloses internal financial projections
of the type provided to Feldman Financial and, as a result, such
projections were not prepared with a view towards public
disclosure. The projections were based on numerous variables and
assumptions which are inherently uncertain, including, without
limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive
conditions, and accordingly, actual results could vary
significantly from those set forth in such projections. Feldman
Financial did not assume any responsibility for independently
verifying such information, did not undertake an independent
evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of BOE,
TransCommunity or Community Bankers, and was not furnished with
any such appraisal or evaluation. Feldman Financial was not
retained to and did not review any individual loan credit files.
Feldman Financials opinion was necessarily based upon
financial, economic, market and other conditions as they existed
and could be evaluated on the date of its opinion.
In formulating its opinion to the BOE board, Feldman Financial
prepared a variety of financial and comparative analyses,
including those described below. The following is a summary of
the material financial analyses performed by Feldman Financial
and reviewed with the BOE board in connection with its opinion
dated December 13, 2007, and does not purport to be a
comprehensive description of the analyses underlying Feldman
Financials opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion
is a complex process, involving various determinations as to the
most relevant and appropriate methods of financial analyses and
the application of these methods to the particular
circumstances. Therefore, such an opinion is not readily
susceptible to partial analysis or summary description.
Accordingly, Feldman Financial believes that its analyses must
be considered as a whole, and selecting portions of the analyses
and factors, without considering all factors and analyses, could
create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes
underlying such analyses and its opinion.
Calculation of Implied Value of the Merger
Consideration. Feldman Financial calculated the
implied value of the consideration to be received by the
stockholders of BOE. As detailed in the merger agreement, as
consideration for the merger, each issued and outstanding share
of BOE Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive
5.7278 shares of Community Bankers common stock, subject to
adjustment if the average closing price, as defined in the
merger agreement, of Community Bankers common stock is less than
$7.42. Assuming an average closing price of $7.42 for the
Community Bankers common stock, the exchange ratio implies
merger consideration of $42.50 for each BOE share of common
stock. Given the capital structure of BOE at September 30,
2007 comprised of 1,211,267 shares of common stock
outstanding and options to purchase BOE common stock totaling
29,359 as of the same date, the aggregate merger consideration
approximates $52.0 million. This aggregate merger
consideration equated to multiples for BOE of 177.3% of stated
book value and 179.9% of tangible book value as of
September 30, 2007. The aggregate merger consideration was
17.8x earnings for the most recent twelve month period ended
September 30, 2007 and 17.7% of total assets at
September 30, 2007. In comparison to BOEs core
deposits at September 30, 2007, the premium in excess of
tangible book value as a percentage of such core deposits was
12.0%.
Calculation of Implied Value of the Exchange
Ratio. Feldman Financial calculated the implied
value of the consideration to be received by the stockholders of
BOE based upon changes in the market value of the Community
Bankers common stock. For purposes of this analysis, Feldman
Financial assumed a range of Community Bankers trading prices of
$5.92 to $8.92 per share. In applying this range of trading
prices, the implied value of the merger
62
consideration ranged from $42.50 to $51.09 for each share of BOE
common stock outstanding. The results of this analysis are
summarized in the table below.

Comparable Company Analysis. As part of its
analysis, Feldman Financial compared certain financial
performance and market valuation data of BOE and TransCommunity
with corresponding publicly available information for two groups
of comparable community banks comprised of (1) 14 publicly
traded community banks headquartered in the Southeast region
with assets between $150 and $500 million and equity ratios
as a percent of assets in excess of 8.0% (Small
Southeastern Banks) and (2) eight publicly traded
community banks based in Virginia with total assets less than
$500 million (Small Virginia Banks). The
historical financial data used in connection with the ratios
provided below was the latest available as of September 30,
2007 and market price data was as of November 27, 2007. The
results of the comparisons between BOE, TransCommunity and the
median values of the comparative groups are outlined below.

Comparable Transaction Analysis. Feldman
Financial reviewed publicly available information for announced
acquisitions of financial institutions comprising two comparable
groups. Feldman Financial reviewed nine transactions that were
announced after January 1, 2006 that involved acquisitions
of financial institutions headquartered in Virginia
(Virginia Transactions). In addition, Feldman
Financial reviewed publicly available information for sales of
18 financial institutions operating in rural areas of the
Southeast region having assets less than $400 million
(Non-Urban Transactions). The various offer price
ratios analyzed were based upon information available at the
time of announcement. Feldman Financial compared the median
ratios of price-to-book value, price-to-tangible book value,
price-to-last twelve months earnings, price-to-assets, tangible
book premium-to-core deposits and premium in relation to
previous trading prices as offered in the comparable
transactions to the
63
corresponding ratios offered in the merger to BOE. The analysis
medians of the comparable transactions yielded the ratios shown
below.

The acquisition transaction ratios for BOE were based on
aggregate merger consideration of $52.0 million as of
December 13, 2007, as described in the discussion entitled
Calculation of Implied Value of the Merger
Consideration.
No company or transaction used in the comparable company or
comparable transaction analysis is identical to BOE or the
merger. Accordingly, an analysis of the results involves complex
considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial
and operating characteristics of the various companies as well
as other factors that may affect trading values or announced
merger values of BOE or the comparable companies.
Discounted Dividend Stream and Terminal Value
Analysis. Feldman Financial performed a
discounted cash flow analysis to determine a range of present
values of BOE on an acquisition basis, assuming BOE continued to
operate as an independent company for a five-year period and
sold at the end of the period. This range was determined by
adding (1) the present value of the estimated future
dividend stream that BOE would generate over the five-year
period from 2008 through 2012, and (2) the present value of
the terminal value of BOE at the end of year 2012. The terminal
values of BOE at the end of the period were determined by
applying a range of market valuation ratios representing pricing
ratios in relation to earnings ranging from 20.0x to 25.0x and
pricing ratios in relation to book value ranging from 160% to
260%. The dividend stream and terminal values were discounted to
present values using discount rates from 11% to 15%.

Pro Forma Merger Analysis. Feldman Financial
performed a pro forma merger analysis that analyzed certain pro
forma effects of the merger with Community Bankers assuming a
simultaneous closing with TransCommunity. Using financial data
as of September 30, 2007 for Community Bankers, BOE and
TransCommunity, the respective managements earnings
estimates for 2008 and an estimated cost savings of 5.0% of the
combined expense base of BOE and TransCommunity, the Feldman
Financial analysis showed that the merger would be accretive to
Community Bankers earnings per share and accretive to Community
Bankers book value per share on a pro forma basis in 2008.
Feldman Financial indicated in its analysis that actual results
achieved in the merger may vary significantly from the pro forma
results.
In performing its analyses, Feldman Financial made numerous
assumptions with respect to industry performance, general
business and economic conditions and other matters, many of
which are beyond the control of BOE, TransCommunity or Community
Bankers. The analyses performed by Feldman Financial are not
necessarily indicative of actual values or actual future
results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than
suggested by such analyses. Such analyses were prepared solely
as a part of Feldman Financials evaluation of the fairness
from a financial point of view of the merger consideration and
were conducted in connection with the rendering of Feldman
Financials opinion. As described above, Feldman
Financials opinion and the information provided by Feldman
Financial to the BOE board were among various factors taken into
consideration by the BOE board in making its determination to
approve the merger agreement. The merger consideration was
determined through negotiations between BOE and Community
Bankers, and was approved by the BOE board.
BOEs board of directors retained Feldman Financial to act
as financial advisor to BOE in connection with the merger based
upon Feldman Financials experience and expertise and its
familiarity with transactions similar to the acquisition. As
part of its business, Feldman Financial is regularly engaged in
the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with
mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings, private
placements, and recapitalizations. Pursuant to a letter
agreement signed November 16, 2007 by and between BOE and
Feldman Financial, BOE has agreed to pay Feldman Financial a
financial advisory fee of $150,000. To date, BOE has paid
Feldman Financial a $10,000 retainer fee and $25,000 in
connection with its issuance of the financial fairness opinion,
and the balance of which is payable upon the closing of the
merger. The letter agreement with Feldman Financial also
provides that BOE will reimburse Feldman Financial for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
its engagement and indemnify Feldman Financial and any related
parties against certain expenses and liabilities, which may
include certain liabilities under securities laws. Prior to its
engagement on November 16, 2007, Feldman had no prior
professional relationship with BOE, Community Bankers or
TransCommunity.
Merger
Consideration
If you are a BOE stockholder, as a result of the merger, each
share of BOE common stock you own immediately prior to the
completion of the merger will be automatically converted into
the right to receive 5.7278 shares of Community Bankers
common stock (subject to possible adjustment, as further
described below and cash instead of fractional shares.
As of the record date for the BOE special meeting, BOE
had shares
of common stock issued and outstanding
and shares
of common stock subject to options. Based on the exchange ratio
of 5.7278, Community Bankers would issue
approximately shares
of Community Bankers common stock in
65
consideration of the merger, excluding shares subject to BOE
options that are converted to options with respect to Community
Bankers common stock. Accordingly, Community Bankers would have
then issued and outstanding
approximately shares
of Community Bankers common stock based on the number of shares
of Community Bankers common stock issued and outstanding on the
record date for Community Bankers special meeting. Based on the
closing price of Community Bankers common stock of
$
on ,
2008, the total value of the consideration Community Bankers
will pay in the merger to the stockholders of BOE is
approximately $ million.
In the event the average of the daily closing prices of
Community Bankers common stock as reported on the American Stock
Exchange for the 20 consecutive full trading days ending on the
fifth day before the anticipated closing date of the merger is
less than $7.42, the exchange ratio will be increased to equal
the quotient obtained by dividing $42.50 by the average of the
daily closing prices during those 20 consecutive full trading
days, rounded to the nearest one-ten thousandth.
No assurance can be given that the current fair market value
of Community Bankers common stock will be equivalent to the fair
market value of Community Bankers common stock on the date that
stock is received by a BOE stockholder or at any other time. The
fair market value of Community Bankers common stock received by
a BOE stockholder may be greater or less than the current fair
market value of Community Bankers due to numerous market
factors.
Fractional
Shares
No fractional shares of Community Bankers common stock will be
issued to any holder of BOE common stock in the merger. Each
holder of shares of BOE common stock exchanged pursuant to the
merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a
fraction of a share of Community Bankers common stock (after
taking into account all certificates delivered by such holder)
shall receive, instead of such fraction of a share, cash
(without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of
a share of Community Bankers common stock multiplied by the
market value of one share of Community Bankers common stock at
the effective time of the merger. The market value of one share
of Community Bankers common stock at the effective time of the
merger will be the closing price on the American Stock Exchange
(as reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not
reported thereby, any other authoritative source selected by
Community Bankers) on the last trading day preceding the
effective time of the merger.
Treatment
of Options
Upon completion of the merger, each award, option, or other
right to purchase or acquire shares of BOE common stock pursuant
to stock options, stock appreciation rights, or stock awards
granted by BOE under BOEs stock incentive plans, equity
compensation plans and stock option plans, which are outstanding
immediately prior to the merger, whether or not exercisable,
will be converted into and become rights with respect to
Community Bankers common stock, and Community Bankers will
assume each right, in accordance with the terms of the relevant
BOE stock plan and stock option agreement. Each of BOEs
options has vested and is exercisable and will remain vested and
exercisable upon completion of the merger with BOE. Community
Bankers and BOE anticipate that the fair value of the old
options and the fair value of the new options will be the same
because the number of shares which are subject to exercise under
the predecessor BOE stock options will be converted into a
number of shares under the Community Bankers stock options based
on the same conversion ratio used to convert BOE stock into
Community Bankers stock pursuant to the merger.
Upon completion of the merger, each award, option, or other
right to purchase or acquire shares of TransCommunity common
stock pursuant to stock options, stock appreciation rights, or
stock awards granted by TransCommunity under
TransCommunitys stock incentive plans, equity compensation
plans and stock option plans, which are outstanding immediately
prior to the merger, whether or not exercisable, will be
converted into and become rights with respect to Community
Bankers common stock, and Community Bankers will assume each
right, in accordance with the terms of the relevant
TransCommunity stock plan and stock option agreement. Each of
TransCommunitys stock options will vest and become
immediately exercisable upon completion of the merger, as the
merger constitutes a change in control under
TransCommunitys stock plan. Community Bankers and
TransCommunity anticipate that the fair value of the old options
and the fair value of the new options will be
66
the same because the number of shares which are subject to
exercise under the predecessor TransCommunity stock options will
be converted into a number of shares under the Community Bankers
stock options based on the same conversion ratio used to convert
TransCommunity stock into Community Bankers stock pursuant to
the merger. Additionally, each outstanding share of
TransCommunity restricted stock under any of
TransCommunitys stock plans shall vest pursuant to its
terms and shall be converted into and become rights with respect
to Community Bankers common stock.
Exchange
of Certificates
As soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time of
the merger, Community Bankers will mail appropriate transmittal
materials to each record holder of BOE common stock for use in
effecting the surrender and cancellation of those certificates
in exchange for Community Bankers common stock. Risk of loss and
title to the certificates will remain with the holder until
proper delivery of such certificates to Community Bankers by
BOEs stockholders. BOEs stockholders should not
surrender their certificates for exchange until they receive a
letter of transmittal and instructions from Community
Bankers. After the effective time of the merger, each holder
of shares of BOE common stock issued and outstanding at the
effective time must surrender the certificate or certificates
representing their shares of BOE common stock to Community
Bankers and will, as soon as reasonably practicable after
surrender, receive the consideration they are entitled to under
the merger agreement, together with all undelivered dividends or
distributions in respect of such shares (without interest).
Community Bankers will not be obligated to deliver the
consideration to which any former holder of BOE common stock is
entitled until the holder surrenders the certificate or
certificates representing his or her shares for exchange. The
certificate or certificates so surrendered must be duly endorsed
as Community Bankers may require. Community Bankers will not be
liable to a holder of BOE common stock for any property
delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to any
applicable abandoned property law.
After the effective time of the merger (and prior to the
surrender of certificates of BOE common stock to Community
Bankers), record holders of certificates that represented
outstanding BOE common stock immediately prior to the effective
time of the merger will have no rights with respect to the
certificates for BOE common stock other than the right to
surrender the certificates and receive the merger consideration
in exchange for the certificates.
In the event that any dividend or distribution, the record date
for which is on or after the effective time of the merger, is
declared by Community Bankers on Community Bankers common stock,
no such dividend or other distributions will be delivered to the
holder of a certificate representing shares of BOE common stock
immediately prior to the effective time of the merger until such
holder surrenders such certificate as set forth above.
In addition, holders of certificates that represent outstanding
BOE common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the
merger will be entitled to vote after the effective time of the
merger at any meeting of Community Bankers stockholders the
number of whole shares of Community Bankers common stock into
which such shares have been converted, even if such holder has
not surrendered such certificates for exchange as described
above.
Community Bankers stockholders will not be required to exchange
certificates representing their shares of Community Bankers
common stock or otherwise take any action after the merger is
completed.
Expected
Tax Treatment as a Result of the Merger
Community Bankers and BOE have not and do not intend to seek a
ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, as to the
federal income tax consequences of the merger. The following
discussion describes the anticipated tax consequences of the
merger, but does not address, among other matters:
|
|
|
|
|
state, local, or foreign tax consequences of the merger;
|
|
|
|
federal income tax consequences to BOE stockholders who are
subject to special rules under the Internal Revenue Code, such
as foreign persons, tax-exempt organizations, insurance
companies, financial institutions, dealers in stocks and
securities, and persons who hold their stock as part of a
straddle or conversion transaction;
|
67
|
|
|
|
|
federal income tax consequences affecting shares of BOE common
stock acquired upon the exercise of stock options, stock
purchase plan rights, or otherwise as compensation;
|
|
|
|
the tax consequences to holders of options to acquire shares of
BOE common stock; and
|
|
|
|
the tax consequences to Community Bankers and BOE of any income
and deferred gain recognized pursuant to Treasury Regulations
issued under Section 1502 of the Internal Revenue Code.
|
Assuming that the merger is consummated in accordance with the
merger agreement, it is anticipated that the following federal
income tax consequences will occur:
|
|
|
|
|
the merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning
of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code;
|
|
|
|
no gain or loss will be recognized by Community Bankers or BOE
as a result of the merger;
|
|
|
|
no gain or loss will be recognized by the stockholders of BOE as
a result of the exchange of all of the shares of BOE common
stock that they own for Community Bankers common stock pursuant
to the merger, except that gain or loss will be recognized on
the receipt of any cash instead of a fractional share;
|
|
|
|
the tax basis of Community Bankers common stock to be received
by the BOE stockholders, who exchange all of their BOE common
stock for Community Bankers common stock in the merger, will be
the same as the tax basis of the BOE common stock surrendered in
exchange therefore (reduced by any amount allocable to a
fractional share interest for which cash is received);
|
|
|
|
the holding period of the Community Bankers common stock to be
received by BOE stockholders, who exchange all of their BOE
common stock for Community Bankers common stock in the merger
(and cash received instead of fractional shares of Community
Bankers common stock), will include the holding period of the
BOE common stock surrendered in exchange therefore, provided the
BOE shares were held as a capital asset by the BOE stockholders
on the date of the exchange; and
|
|
|
|
the payment of cash to BOE stockholders instead of fractional
share interests of Community Bankers common stock will be
treated for federal income tax purposes as if the fractional
shares were distributed as part of the exchange and then were
redeemed by Community Bankers. These cash payments will be
treated as having been received as distributions in full payment
in exchange for the Community Bankers common stock redeemed, as
provided in Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code.
|
The obligation of Community Bankers and BOE to complete the
merger is conditioned on, among other things, receipt by
Community Bankers of an opinion of Nelson Mullins
Riley & Scarborough LLP and receipt by BOE of an
opinion of LeClairRyan, A Professional Corporation, with respect
to certain of the federal income tax consequences of the merger.
The conditions relating to receipt of the tax opinion may be
waived by both Community Bankers and BOE. Neither Community
Bankers nor BOE currently intends to waive the conditions
relating to the receipt of the tax opinion. If the conditions
relating to the receipt of the tax opinion were waived and the
material federal income tax consequences of the merger were
substantially different from those described in this joint proxy
statement/prospectus, Community Bankers and BOE would resolicit
the approval of its stockholders prior to completing the merger.
Tax consequences of the merger may vary depending upon the
particular circumstances of each BOE stockholder. Accordingly,
BOE stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as
to the specific tax consequences to them of the merger,
including the applicability and effect of state, local, and
foreign tax laws.
Certain
Benefits of Directors and Officers of Community Bankers and
BOE
General. Some of the officers and directors of
Community Bankers and BOE may be deemed to have interests in the
merger in addition to their interests as stockholders of BOE
generally. These interests include, among others, proposed
employee benefits for those who become employees of Community
Bankers or a Community Bankers subsidiary after the merger,
proposed employment agreements with two of BOEs current
executive officers and one of Community Bankers executive
officers, the appointment of six current BOE directors to the
board of directors of Community Bankers and the continuation of
two directors of Community Bankers as
68
directors of Community Bankers after the merger, the appointment
of six directors designated by BOE and two directors designated
by Community Bankers to the board of directors of the surviving
bank and insurance coverage for BOEs directors and
officers, as described below.
Employee Benefits. Following the merger
Community Bankers will provide generally to officers and
employees of BOE and Bank of Essex employee benefits under
benefit and welfare plans, other than stock plans, on terms and
conditions which when taken as a whole are comparable to or
better than those then provided by BOE or Bank of Essex to
similarly situated officers and employees. For purposes of
participation, vesting and benefit accrual under Community
Bankers employee benefit plans, service with BOE prior to
the effective time of the merger will be treated as service with
Community Bankers or its subsidiaries.
Director Retention Agreements. In connection
with the merger, each of the current directors of BOE has
entered into a retention agreement with Community Bankers.
Employment Agreements. Prior to the completion
of the merger, Community Bankers will enter into employment
agreements with each of George M. Longest, Jr. and Bruce E.
Thomas. Mr. Longest will become president of the surviving
corporation and, commencing on January 1, 2010, will also
become chief executive officer of the surviving corporation.
Mr. Thomas will become chief financial officer of the
surviving corporation. The term of their employment agreements
is for three years after the merger date. On each anniversary of
the merger date, upon the review and approval of the board of
directors, the terms of the agreements will be extended by an
additional year unless the surviving corporation or the employee
gives written notice at least 30 days prior to an
anniversary date that no further extensions should occur. The
employment agreements provide for the payment of two months
salary if the employee dies. In the case of termination by the
surviving corporation without cause or by the employee for good
reason, the agreements require that the employee receive his
base salary and certain health benefits for 24 months
following the date of termination. The agreements also provide
that within two years following a change in control, if
employment is terminated by the surviving corporation without
cause or by the employee for good reason within 120 days
after the occurrence of good reason, the employee will be
entitled to accrued obligations, a salary continuance benefit
equal to 2.99 times the employees final compensation and
health care continuance. The employment agreements impose
certain limitations on each employee, precluding the employee
from soliciting the surviving corporations or surviving
banks employees and customers and, without prior written
consent of the surviving corporation, competing with the
surviving corporation or the surviving bank by forming, serving
as an organizer, director, officer or consultant to, or
maintaining more than one percent passive investment in a
depository financial institution or holding company if such
entity has one or more offices or branches located within a
10-mile
radius of the headquarters or any branch banking office of the
surviving corporation or surviving bank. This limitation will be
for a period of two years from the date on which the employee
ceased to be an employee of the surviving corporation except
that in the case of a termination without cause or for good
reason following a change in control, the non-compete and
customer solicitation restrictions will be in force for only one
year.
Directors. Community Bankers has agreed to
expand the board of directors to 14 members and appoint six
directors selected by BOE to its board of directors as soon as
practicable following the effective time of the merger. BOE will
also nominate six directors and Community Bankers will nominate
two directors to the board of the surviving bank following the
merger. For more information, see The Merger
Management and Operations After the Merger.
Indemnification and Insurance. For six years
following the merger, Community Bankers will generally provide
indemnification to the present directors and officers of BOE and
Bank of Essex against all liabilities arising out of actions or
omissions arising out of their service or services as directors
and officers of BOE and Bank of Essex. In addition, Community
Bankers has agreed to use its reasonable efforts to maintain in
effect for a period of up to three years after the effective
time of the merger BOEs current policy for directors and
officers, provided that Community Bankers may
(1) substitute policies of substantially the same coverage
and amounts containing terms and conditions which are
substantially no less advantageous as BOEs current policy
for directors and officers or (2), with the consent of BOE prior
to the effective time of the merger, substitute any other policy
with respect to claims arising from facts or events which
occurred prior to the effective time of the merger and covering
persons covered by such insurance on the date of the merger
agreement. Community Bankers has agreed to make premium
69
payments in an amount not to exceed $114,480 during the
three-year period. If the amount of premiums necessary to
maintain directors and officers insurance coverage
exceeds $114,480, Community Bankers will use its reasonable
efforts to maintain the most advantageous policies of
directors and officers liability insurance
obtainable for a premium equal to $114,480 but is not obligated
to maintain coverage to the extent the cost of such coverage
exceeds that amount.
Stock Options. Certain of the directors and
executive officers of BOE hold stock options granted to them
under BOEs option plans. BOE has two stock option plans:
the BOE Stock Incentive Plan for employees and the BOE Stock
Option Plan for Outside Directors. Upon completion of the
merger, each option to purchase or acquire shares of BOE common
stock granted by BOE under BOEs stock option plans, which
are outstanding immediately prior to the merger, whether or not
exercisable, will be converted into and become rights with
respect to Community Bankers common stock, and Community Bankers
will assume each right, in accordance with the terms of the
relevant BOE stock option plan and stock option agreement. The
number of shares of Community Bankers common stock for which
each option will be exercisable will be equal to the number of
shares of BOE common stock for which such option was exercisable
multiplied by the exchange ratio. The per share exercise price
of Community Bankers common stock at which the option will be
exercisable will be determined by dividing the exercise price
per share of BOE common stock at which the option was
exercisable by the exchange ratio and rounding up to the nearest
cent.
At September 30, 2007, options to acquire
29,359 shares were outstanding, of which 29,359 were
exercisable at that date.
The table below sets forth, as of January 28, 2008,
information with respect to options under the various BOE stock
option plans held by each of BOEs current directors and
officers. All of the stock options are fully vested.

Community Bankers believes that Messrs. Peery, Putnam,
Bozard, Miller, Zoeller, Elliott, Hughes and Minor and
Ms. Williams are independent as that term is
defined under the rules of the American Stock Exchange and the
rules and regulations of the SEC. After the consummation of the
merger, the board of directors of Community Bankers will make a
formal determination with respect to the independence of each of
its directors.
Following the merger of TransCommunity Bank and Bank of Essex,
the board of directors of the surviving bank will be comprised
of fourteen directors: two nominated by Community Bankers, six
nominated by TransCommunity and six nominated by BOE. George M.
Longest, Jr. will become the chief executive officer of the
surviving bank, Bruce E. Thomas will become the chief financial
officer of the surviving bank, Patrick J. Tewell will become the
chief accounting officer of the surviving bank and M. Andrew
McLean, the current president of TransCommunity Bank, will
become president of the surviving bank.
Conditions
to Consummation
The obligations of Community Bankers and BOE to consummate the
merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent
permitted) of several conditions, including:
|
|
|
|
|
the holders of more than two-thirds of all votes entitled to be
cast by the holders of BOE common stock must have approved the
merger proposal and the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Community Bankers common stock entitled to vote at the
special meeting must have approved the merger proposal;
|
|
|
|
the required regulatory approvals described under
Regulatory Approvals must have been
received, generally without any conditions or restrictions which
would, in the reasonable judgment of the board of directors of
Community Bankers or the board of directors of BOE, so
materially adversely affect the economic or business benefits of
the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement that, had
the
|
72
|
|
|
|
|
conditions or requirements been known, Community Bankers or BOE
would not have entered into the merger agreement;
|
|
|
|
|
|
each party must have received all consents (other than those
described in the preceding paragraph) required for consummation
of the merger and for the prevention of a default under any
contract or permit of such party which, if not obtained or made,
is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate,
a material adverse effect on such party, generally without any
conditions or restrictions which would, in the reasonable
judgment of the board of directors of Community Bankers or the
board of directors of BOE, as applicable, so materially
adversely affect the economic or business benefits of the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement that, had the
conditions or requirements been known, Community Bankers or BOE
would not have entered into the merger agreement;
|
|
|
|
no court or governmental authority may have taken any action
which prohibits, restricts, or makes illegal the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement;
|
|
|
|
the shares of Community Bankers common stock to be issued as
consideration in the merger will have been approved for listing
on the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market,
subject to official notice of issuance;
|
|
|
|
the representations and warranties of Community Bankers and BOE
in the merger agreement must be accurate, without any
qualifications, subject to an exception generally for
inaccuracies with an aggregate effect not reasonably likely to
have a material adverse effect on the applicable party, and the
other party must have performed in all material respects all of
the agreements and covenants to be performed by it pursuant to
the merger agreement, and must have delivered certificates
confirming satisfaction of the foregoing requirements and
certain other matters;
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers must have received from each
affiliate of BOE an agreement stating, among other
things, that he or she will comply with federal securities laws
when transferring any shares of Community Bankers common stock
received in the merger (see Resales of
Community Bankers Common Stock);
|
|
|
|
each of the persons serving as directors of Community Bankers
from and after the effective time of the merger will have
executed and delivered to Community Bankers a retention
agreement as described elsewhere in this proxy statement
prospectus (see Certain Benefits of Directors
and Officers of Community Bankers and BOE);
|
|
|
|
there must not have been since the date of the merger agreement
any material changes in the members of the board of directors or
management of BOE;
|
|
|
|
each party will have received certain legal opinions and tax
opinions from its outside counsel and opinions as to the
fairness from a financial point of view of the merger
consideration; and
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers must have completed its merger with
TransCommunity.
|
No assurances can be provided as to when or if all of the
conditions precedent to the merger can or will be satisfied or
waived by the appropriate party. As of the date of this joint
proxy statement/prospectus, the parties know of no reason to
believe that any of the conditions set forth above will not be
satisfied.
The conditions to consummation of the merger may be waived, in
whole or in part, to the extent permissible under applicable law
and Community Bankers certificate of incorporation, by the
party for whose benefit the condition has been imposed, without
the approval of such partys stockholders.
Regulatory
Approvals
Community Bankers and BOE have agreed to use their reasonable
best efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals required to
consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement, which include approval from the Federal Reserve, as
detailed below, and the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the
Virginia State Corporation Commission. The merger cannot proceed
in the absence of these regulatory approvals. Although Community
Bankers and BOE expect to obtain these required regulatory
approvals, there can be no assurance as to if and when these
regulatory approvals will be obtained.
73
The merger is subject to the prior approval of the Federal
Reserve. Community Bankers filed an application with the Federal
Reserve on January 25, 2008. In evaluating the merger, the
Federal Reserve is required to consider, among other factors,
the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of
the institutions and the convenience and needs of the
communities to be served. The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,
as amended, and Regulation Y promulgated thereunder,
collectively, the BHCA, by the Federal Reserve prohibits the
Federal Reserve from approving the merger if:
|
|
|
|
|
it would result in a monopoly or be in furtherance of any
combination or conspiracy to monopolize or attempt to monopolize
the business of banking in any part of the United States; or
|
|
|
|
its effect in any section of the country could be to
substantially lessen competition or to tend to create a
monopoly, or if it would result in a restraint of trade in any
other manner, unless the Federal Reserve should find that any
anti-competitive effects are outweighed clearly by the public
interest and the probable effect of the merger in meeting the
convenience and needs of the communities to be served.
|
The merger may not be consummated any earlier than the
15th day following the date of approval of the merger by
the Federal Reserve, during which time the United States
Department of Justice is afforded the opportunity to challenge
the merger on antitrust grounds. The commencement of any
antitrust action would stay the effectiveness of the approval of
the Federal Reserve, unless a court of competent jurisdiction
should specifically order otherwise.
The merger also is subject to the prior approval of the Bureau
of Financial Institutions of the Virginia State Corporation
Commission. Community Bankers also filed an application with the
Bureau of Financial Institutions of the Virginia State
Corporation Commission on January 25, 2008. In evaluating
the merger, the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the Virginia
State Corporation Commission will determine if:
|
|
|
|
|
the proposed acquisition would be detrimental to the safety and
soundness of Community Bankers, BOE or Bank of Essex;
|
|
|
|
Community Bankers, its directors and officers, and any proposed
new directors and officers of BOE or Bank of Essex are qualified
by character, experience and financial responsibility to control
and operate a Virginia financial institution;
|
|
|
|
the proposed acquisition would be prejudicial to the interests
of the depositors, creditors, beneficiaries of fiduciary
accounts or stockholders of the Community Bankers, BOE or Bank
of Essex; and
|
|
|
|
the acquisition is in the public interest.
|
Other than as summarized above, we are not aware of any
governmental approvals or actions that may be required for
consummation of the merger. Should any other approval or action
be required, we currently contemplate that we would seek such
approval or action. To the extent that the above summary
describes statutes and regulations, it is qualified in its
entirety by reference to those particular statutes and
regulations.
Representations
and Warranties Made by Community Bankers and BOE in the Merger
Agreement
Community Bankers and BOE have made certain customary
representations and warranties to each other in the merger
agreement. For information on these representations and
warranties, please refer to the merger agreement attached as
Appendix A.
Termination
of the Merger Agreement
Notwithstanding the approval of the merger proposal by
BOEs stockholders, we can mutually agree at any time to
terminate the merger agreement before completing the merger.
Either BOE or Community Bankers can also terminate the merger
agreement:
|
|
|
|
|
if the other party is in breach any of its representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements under the merger agreement
and fails to cure the violation and the breach relates to an
inaccuracy that without considering any qualification in such
representation, is likely to have a material adverse effect on
the breaching party;
|
74
|
|
|
|
|
if required regulatory approval is denied by final nonappealable
action of such regulatory authority or if any action taken by
such authority is not appealed within the time limit for appeal;
|
|
|
|
if any law or order permanently restraining, enjoining, or
otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the merger has become
final and nonappealable;
|
|
|
|
if Community Bankers or BOE stockholder approval is not obtained;
|
|
|
|
if we do not complete the merger by June 30, 2008;
|
|
|
|
if a partys board of directors fails to reaffirm its
approval upon the other partys request for such
reaffirmation of the merger or if the partys board of
directors resolves not to reaffirm the merger;
|
|
|
|
if a partys board of directors fails to include in this
joint proxy statement/prospectus its recommendation, without
modification or qualification, that the stockholders approve the
merger or if the partys board of directors withdraws,
qualifies, modifies, proposes publicly to withdraw, qualify, or
modify, in a manner adverse to the other party, the
recommendation that the stockholders approve the merger;
|
|
|
|
if a partys board of directors affirms, recommends, or
authorizes entering into any acquisition transaction other than
the merger or, within 10 business days after commencement of any
tender or exchange offer for any shares of its common stock, the
partys board of directors fails to recommend against
acceptance of such tender or exchange offer or takes no position
with respect to such tender or exchange offer; or
|
|
|
|
if a partys board of directors negotiates or authorizes
the conduct of negotiations (and five business days have elapsed
without such negotiations being discontinued) with a third party
regarding an acquisition proposal other than the merger.
|
Either party can also terminate the merger agreement, provided
that the party terminating is not in material breach of any
representation, warranty, or covenant, or other agreement in the
merger agreement, if prior to the adoption of the merger
proposal by the stockholders, the other partys board of
directors has (1) withdrawn or modified or changed its
recommendation of approval of the merger agreement in a manner
adverse to the terminating party in order to approve and permit
the other party to accept a superior proposal and
(2) determined, after consultation with, and the receipt of
advice from outside legal counsel to the other party, that the
failure to take such action as described in the preceding
clause (1) would be likely to result in a breach of the
board of directors fiduciary duties under applicable law,
provided, however, that at least five business days prior to any
such termination, the other party shall, and shall cause its
advisors to, negotiate with the terminating party, if such party
elects to do so, to make such adjustments in the terms and
conditions of the merger agreement as would enable the other
party to proceed with the merger on the adjusted terms.
Amendment
and Waiver
To the extent permitted by law, Community Bankers and BOE, with
the approval of their respective boards of directors, may amend
the merger agreement by written agreement at any time without
the approval of BOE stockholders or Community Bankers
stockholders. However, after the approval of the merger proposal
by BOEs stockholders, no amendment may reduce or modify
the consideration to be received by BOEs stockholders.
Prior to or at the effective time of the merger, either BOE or
Community Bankers may waive any default in the performance of
any term of the merger agreement by the other party, may waive
or extend the time for the fulfillment by the other party of any
of its obligations under the merger agreement, and may waive any
of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such party
under the merger agreement, except any condition that, if not
satisfied, would result in the violation of an applicable law.
Conduct
of Business Pending the Merger
Under the merger agreement, each of Community Bankers and BOE
has agreed, except as otherwise contemplated by the merger
agreement or with the prior written consent of the other party,
and to cause its subsidiaries to:
|
|
|
|
|
operate its business only in the usual, regular, and ordinary
course;
|
75
|
|
|
|
|
use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve intact its
business organization and assets and maintain its rights and
franchises;
|
|
|
|
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its representations
and warranties to be correct at all times;
|
|
|
|
in the case of BOE only, use best efforts to provide all
information requested by Community Bankers related to loans or
other transactions made by BOE with a value equal to or
exceeding $250,000;
|
|
|
|
in the case of BOE only, consult with Community Bankers prior to
entering into or making any loans or other transactions with a
value equal to or exceeding $500,000; and
|
|
|
|
take no action which would (1) adversely affect the ability
of any party to obtain any consents required for the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement without
imposition of a condition or restriction which, in the
reasonable judgment of the board of directors of Community
Bankers or the board of directors of BOE, would so materially
adversely impact the economic or business benefits of the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement as to render
inadvisable the consummation of the merger, or
(2) materially adversely affect the ability of either party
to perform its covenants and agreements under the merger
agreement.
|
In addition, each of Community Bankers and BOE has agreed in the
merger agreement not to take certain actions or agree or commit
to take certain actions, or permit its subsidiaries to take or
agree or commit to take certain actions pending consummation of
the merger without the prior consent of the other party and
except as otherwise expressly contemplated by the merger
agreement. Such actions include, without limitation:
|
|
|
|
|
amending its certificate of incorporation, articles of
incorporation, bylaws, or other governing corporate instruments,
except that either party may restate its certificate of
incorporation or articles of incorporation without amendment
thereto and Community Bankers may amend its certificate of
incorporation as contemplated by the merger agreement with
TransCommunity;
|
|
|
|
in the case of BOE only, modifying Bank of Essexs lending
policy;

partys common stock, provided that BOE may (to the extent
legally and contractually permitted to do so) but will not be
obligated to, declare and pay regular quarterly cash dividends
on shares of BOE common stock at a rate not in excess of $0.22
per share with usual and regular record and payment dates in
accordance with past practice;
|
|
|
|
subject to certain limited exceptions, issuing, selling, or

Community Bankers, any material amendment to the merger
agreement with TransCommunity and the waiver of any material
obligation of TransCommunity or right of Community Bankers under
such agreement; or
|
|
|
|
taking any action or failing to take any action that at the time
of such action or inaction is reasonably likely to prevent, or
would be reasonably likely to materially interfere with, the
consummation of the merger.
|
In addition, the merger agreement provides that neither
Community Bankers nor BOE nor any of their respective affiliates
and representatives will solicit any acquisition proposal
(generally, a tender offer or proposal for
77
a merger, asset acquisition or other business combination which
would compete with the merger). Community Bankers and BOE have
also agreed not to and not to permit their respective affiliates
and representatives to furnish any confidential information,
negotiate, or enter into any contract, with respect to any
acquisition proposal.
However, the merger agreement also provides that either party
may furnish nonpublic information regarding itself and may enter
into a confidentiality agreement or discussions or negotiations
in response to a bona fide unsolicited written
acquisition proposal if:
|
|
|
|
|
such party has not violated any of the restrictions against
soliciting acquisition proposals;
|
|
|
|
its board of directors, in its good faith judgment believes
(based on, among other things, the advice of its financial
advisor) that such acquisition proposal constitutes a superior
proposal;
|
|
|
|
its board of directors concludes in good faith, after
consultation with and receipt of a written opinion from its
outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action
would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties, to its
stockholders;
|
|
|
|
(1) at least five business days prior to furnishing any
such nonpublic information to, or entering into discussions or
negotiations, the party gives the other party written notice of
such partys intention to furnish nonpublic information to,
or enter into discussions or negotiations and the identity of
such prospective purchaser, and (2) such party receives
from such prospective purchaser an executed confidentiality
agreement containing terms no less favorable to the disclosing
party than the confidentiality terms of the merger
agreement; and
|
|
|
|
contemporaneously with furnishing any such nonpublic
information, such party furnishes such nonpublic information to
the other party (to the extent such nonpublic information has
not been previously furnished by such party).
|
In addition, each of Community Bankers and BOE have agreed to
provide the other party with at least five business days
prior written notice of a meeting of its board of directors at
which meeting such board of directors is reasonably expected to
resolve to recommend the acquisition proposal to its
stockholders and together with such notice, a copy of the most
recently proposed documentation or revisions relating to the
acquisition proposal.
Notwithstanding these provisions, the merger agreement
contemplates that Community Bankers may enter into additional
merger agreements, subject to receiving the prior consent of
TransCommunity and BOE.
Expenses
and Termination Fees
The merger agreement provides that each party will be
responsible for its own direct costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger
agreement. In the case of BOE, these expenses will be paid at
closing and prior to the effective time of the merger.
The merger agreement provides that if either party terminates
the merger agreement because of a material breach of the merger
agreement by the other party, a termination fee of $500,000
would be payable by the breaching party to the non-breaching
party. Further, if either party terminates because the
stockholders of the other party fail to approve the merger or if
either party terminates because the transactions contemplated
are not consummated by the June 30, 2008, and another
acquisition transaction, involving a change in control, is
announced and results in a definitive agreement or a consummated
acquisition transaction with the terminating party within
12 months of termination, then the party entering into the
definitive agreement or consummating the acquisition transaction
will owe the other party a termination fee of $500,000.
If a party terminates the agreement due to a material breach of
the other party or the failure of the other party to recommend
the merger to its stockholders, the termination fee of $500,000
is payable upon termination. In the case of a termination
involving a competing acquisition transaction, the termination
fee of $500,000 is payable upon the earlier of the execution of
a definitive agreement or the consummation of the transaction.
In those cases where a competing acquisition transaction with a
third party is consummated, an additional termination fee of
$1,200,000 will also be payable upon consummation of the
acquisition transaction.

Ownership of Existing Community Bankers, TransCommunity and BOE
Stockholders After the Merger
The table below outlines the effect of the various scenarios on
the percentage of Community Bankers voting interests that
existing Community Bankers, TransCommunity and BOE stockholders
will own after the merger with BOE is completed, based on the
number of shares of each of Community Bankers, TransCommunity
and BOE issued and outstanding as of the date of their
respective merger agreements. Depending on the scenario,
Community Bankers stockholders will own from 36.93% to
57.13% of Community Bankers voting interests after the
merger, TransCommunity stockholders will own 20.76% to 30.54% of
Community Bankers voting interests after the merger and
BOE stockholders will own from 22.11% to 32.53% of Community
Bankers voting interests after the merger. The table
assumes that none of the TransCommunity stockholders exercised
appraisal rights in Community Bankers merger with
TransCommunity and that Community Bankers existing
stockholders continue to own the warrants to be exercised. The
unit purchase option refers to the unit purchase option to
purchase 525,000 units (each unit comprised of one share of
common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common
stock) held by I-Bankers Securities, Inc., Maxim Group LLC and
Legend Merchant Group, Inc., the representatives of the
underwriters in Community Bankers initial public offering.

Resales
of Community Bankers Common Stock
The issuance of the shares of Community Bankers common stock to
be issued to BOEs stockholders in the merger has been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities
Act. These shares may be traded freely and without restriction
by those stockholders not deemed to be affiliates of
BOE or Community Bankers as that term is defined under the
Securities Act. Any subsequent transfer of such shares, however,
by any person who is an affiliate of BOE at the time the merger
is submitted for a vote or consent of the stockholders of BOE
will, under existing law, require either:
|
|
|
|
|
the registration under the Securities Act of the subsequent
transfer of the shares of Community Bankers common stock;
|
|
|
|
compliance with Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities
Act (permitting limited sales under certain
circumstances); or
|
|
|
|
the availability of another exemption from registration.
|
79
An affiliate of BOE, as defined by the rules
promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, is a person who
directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries,
controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with BOE.
BOE has agreed that it will use its reasonable efforts to cause
each person or entity that is an affiliate for
purposes of complying with Rule 145 to enter into a written
agreement relating to such restrictions on sale or other
transfer.
Accounting
Treatment
The merger will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, with Community Bankers being treated as the
acquiring entity for accounting purposes. Under the purchase
method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Community
Bankers will be adjusted to include the fair value of the assets
and liabilities of BOE as of the effective time. Financial
statements issued after consummation of an acquisition accounted
for as a purchase would reflect such values and would not be
restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial
position or results of operations of the acquired company.
Appraisal
Rights of BOE Stockholders
BOE stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with
the merger under applicable Virginia law.
PROPOSAL TO
AMEND THE
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF COMMUNITY BANKERS
At the annual meeting of stockholders
on ,
2008, Community Bankers stockholders are being asked to adopt
two amendments to the certificate of incorporation to be
effected upon consummation of the merger with TransCommunity: an
amendment to reset the terms of the classes of Community
Bankers directors and an amendment to change the
corporations name to Community Bankers
Trust Corporation. At the special meeting, Community
Bankers is asking its stockholders to adopt an additional
amendment to the certificate of incorporation. Unless Community
Bankers and BOE agree otherwise, the merger will only be
consummated if the stockholders of Community Bankers adopt an
amendment to the certificate of incorporation. In addition, the
amendment to the certificate of incorporation will only be
effected in the event and at the time the merger with BOE is
consummated. Assuming the amendment is adopted, the surviving
corporation will file an amended and restated certificate of
incorporation, substantially in the form attached as
Appendix B.
Proposed
Amendment
Community Bankers is proposing to amend the certificate of
incorporation to adjust the terms of its three classes of
directors. Community Bankers certificate of incorporation
provides for a staggered board of directors with three classes
of directors, with each class being elected at successive annual
meetings following the closing of Community Bankers merger
with TransCommunity. In order to comply with the requirements
set forth in the merger agreement with BOE, Community Bankers is
seeking approval for an amended Section F of
Article SIXTH, in which each of the three classes of the
staggered board of directors is elected as successive annual
meetings. The directors in Class I shall be elected for a
term expiring at the 2009 Annual Meeting of stockholders, the
directors in Class II shall be elected for a term expiring
at the 2010 Annual Meeting of stockholders, and the directors in
Class III shall be elected for a term expiring at the 2011
Annual Meeting of stockholders. Commencing at the 2009 Annual
Meeting of stockholders and at each annual meeting thereafter,
directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire
shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third
succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election.
Vote
Required
Adoption of the amendment to the certificate of incorporation
requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of
Community Bankers common stock entitled to vote at the special
meeting. Abstaining from voting or not voting on this proposal
(including broker non-votes), either in person or by proxy, will
have the same effect as a vote against adoption of the amendment
to the certificate of incorporation.
80
Board
Recommendation
The Community Bankers Board of Directors recommends a vote
FOR adoption of the amendment to the certificate of
incorporation.
INFORMATION
ABOUT COMMUNITY BANKERS ACQUISITION CORP.
General
Community Bankers is a blank check company organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware on April 6, 2005. As a
Targeted Acquisition
Corporationsm
or
TAC,sm
Community Bankers was formed to effect a merger, capital stock
exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business
combination with an operating business in the banking industry.
Prior to executing the merger agreement with TransCommunity,
Community Bankers activities were limited to
organizational matters, completing its initial public offering
and seeking and evaluating possible business combination
opportunities.
In addition to the merger with BOE, Community Bankers has
entered into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of
September 5, 2007, with TransCommunity, a financial holding
company based in Glen Allen, Virginia. The merger agreement by
and between Community Bankers and TransCommunity provides for
the merger of TransCommunity with and into Community Bankers. As
a result of the merger, each share of TransCommunity common
stock will be converted into 1.4200 shares of Community
Bankers common stock, subject to adjustment as further described
elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. We
anticipate that Community Bankers merger with
TransCommunity will be consummated before Community
Bankers merger with BOE.
On June 8, 2006, Community Bankers consummated its initial
public offering of 7,500,000 units, which commenced trading
on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol
BTC.U. Each unit consisted of one share of common
stock and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant. Each
warrant entitles the holder to purchase from Community Bankers
one share of Community Bankers common stock at an exercise price
of $5.00 per share beginning upon the consummation of an initial
business combination. As such the warrants will become
exercisable upon the completion of the merger with
TransCommunity. Community Bankers common stock and warrants
started trading separately on the American Stock Exchange as of
September 5, 2006, under the symbols BTC and
BTC.WS, respectively.
Recent
Developments
On February 15, 2008, Community Bankers announced its
results of operations for the period from April 1, 2007 to
December 31, 2007. For the period from April 1, 2007
until December 31, 2007, interest income on its trust fund
investments, including interest allocable to shares subject to
possible conversion, amounted to $1,933,962. This resulted in
net income for the period from April 1, 2007 until
December 31, 2007 of $1,105,034 or net income per share,
basic and diluted, of $0.12 and $0.09, respectively. The
aggregate amount of cash and United States treasury securities
held in the trust fund as of December 31, 2007, was
$58,452,512.

Trust Account
The net proceeds from the sale of Community Bankers units
were approximately $54,950,000. Of this amount, $54,350,000 of
the net proceeds, plus $2,100,000 attributable to the
underwriters discount that I-Bankers Securities, Inc.,
Maxim Group LLC and Legend Merchant Group, Inc., the
representatives of the underwriters in Community Bankers
initial public offering agreed to defer until Community Bankers
consummated its initial business combination, was deposited in
an interest-bearing trust account at JPMorgan Chase NY Bank
maintained by Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, as trustee, pursuant to an agreement signed
on June 8, 2006. Except for a portion of the interest
earned on the Community Bankers trust account which may be
released to Community Bankers, these proceeds will not be
released until the earlier of the completion of the merger with
TransCommunity or Community Bankers liquidation. The
remaining $600,000 in net proceeds, together with any interest
released to Community Bankers to cover operating expenses,
were made available to be used by Community Bankers to provide
for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective
business combinations and continuing general and administrative
expenses. Substantially all of the net proceeds not held in the
trust account of Community Bankers initial public offering
were intended to be used to acquire a target business, including
identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates,
selecting the target business, and structuring, negotiating and
consummating the business combination. Upon consummation of the
merger with TransCommunity, the funds currently held in the
trust account, less any amounts paid to stockholders who
exercise their conversion rights and the deferred underwriting
compensation, will be released to Community Bankers. Community
Bankers intends to pay any additional expenses related to the
mergers with TransCommunity and BOE and hold the remaining funds
as capital at the holding company level pending use for general
corporate and strategic purposes. Such purposes could include
increasing the capital of Bank of Essex, future mergers and
acquisitions, branch construction, asset purchases, payment of
dividends, repurchases of shares of Community Bankers common
stock and general corporate purposes. Until such capital is
fully leveraged or deployed, Community Bankers may not be able
to successfully deploy such capital and Community Bankers
return on such equity could be negatively impacted.
Fair
Market Value of Target Business
The initial target business or businesses Community Bankers
acquires must have a collective fair market value equal to at
least 80% of Community Bankers net assets at the time of
the business combination (excluding the
83
portion of the trust account attributable to the
underwriters discount). The fair market value of such
business or businesses is determined by Community Bankers
board of directors based upon standards generally accepted by
the financial community, such as actual and potential revenues,
net income, assets, cash flow and book value. Community Bankers
is not required to obtain an opinion from an investment banking
firm as to the fair market value if Community Bankers
board of directors independently determines that the target
business has sufficient fair market value, but may do so.
As the merger with TransCommunity will be Community Bankers
initial business combination, the fair market value of
TransCommunity must meet the fair market value requirements
described above. Based on the financial analyses undertaken or
reviewed by Community Bankers board of directors generally
in evaluating and approving the merger agreement by and between
Community Bankers and TransCommunity, the board of directors
determined that the merger with TransCommunity meets this
requirement.
Stockholder
Approval of Business Combination
As Community Bankers will be issuing shares of Community Bankers
common stock in the merger with BOE totaling more than 20% of
the outstanding shares of Community Bankers common stock
immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, Delaware
law requires that the Community Bankers stockholders adopt the
merger agreement for the merger to be consummated. Delaware law
requires that the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Community Bankers common stock entitled to vote at the
special meeting adopt the merger agreement for the merger with
BOE to be consummated.
In addition, Community Bankers certificate of
incorporation requires that it submit the merger with
TransCommunity to Community Bankers stockholders for
approval, even if stockholder approval were not required under
Delaware law. Further, as required by its certificate of
incorporation, Community Bankers will proceed with the
merger with TransCommunity only:
|
|
|
|
|
if the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of

the holders of less than 20% of the outstanding shares of
Community Bankers stock issued in Community Bankers
initial public offering vote against the business combination
and exercise their conversion rights.
|
All of Community Bankers insiders, including all of
Community Bankers officers, directors and initial
stockholders, have agreed to vote the 1,875,000 shares of
Community Bankers common stock acquired by them before Community
Bankers initial public offering either for or against the
merger with TransCommunity consistent with the majority of the
votes cast by the holders of the shares of common stock issued
in the initial public offering. This voting arrangement shall
not apply to shares included in units purchased in Community
Bankers initial public offering or purchased following
Community Bankers initial public offering in the open
market by any of Community Bankers initial stockholders,
officers or directors. Accordingly, they may vote on the merger
with TransCommunity with respect to shares of common stock
acquired in or after the consummation of Community Bankers
initial public offering any way they choose. Regarding the
merger with BOE, the Community Bankers insiders may vote all of
their shares any way they choose. All of Community Bankers
directors and executive officers have indicated they will vote
in favor of the merger and each of the other proposals to be
considered at the special meeting.
Liquidation
If the Merger with TransCommunity Does Not Close
If Community Bankers does not complete the merger with
TransCommunity by June 7, 2008, Community Bankers
certificate of incorporation (1) provides that Community
Bankers corporate powers would automatically thereafter be
limited to acts and activities relating to dissolving and
winding up its affairs, including liquidation, and Community
Bankers would not be able to engage in any other business
activities and (2) requires that Community Bankers
board of directors within 15 days adopt a resolution
finding Community Bankers dissolution advisable and
provide notice as soon as possible thereafter of a special
meeting of stockholders to vote on Community Bankers
dissolution. Pursuant to Delaware law, Community Bankers
dissolution would require the affirmative
84
vote of stockholders owning a majority of the then outstanding
shares of Community Bankers common stock. Community
Bankers would promptly prepare a proxy statement and notice of
special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the
requirements of Delaware law and the federal securities laws,
which proxy statement would be required to be submitted to and
reviewed by the SEC, and thereafter forward the proxy statement
and notice of meeting to Community Bankers stockholders no
less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to Community
Bankers special meeting of stockholders soliciting
stockholder votes with respect to its dissolution. In the event
that Community Bankers does not initially obtain approval for
such dissolution by stockholders owning a majority of the then
outstanding shares of Community Bankers common stock, Community
Bankers would continue to take all reasonable actions to obtain
such approval, which may include adjourning the meeting from
time to time to allow Community Bankers to obtain the required
vote and retaining a proxy solicitation firm to assist Community
Bankers in obtaining such vote. Community Bankers insiders
(including all of its directors, officers and initial
stockholders) have agreed to vote all shares of Community
Bankers common stock owned by them that were purchased prior to
or issued in Community Bankers initial public offering in
favor of such dissolution. However, there can be no assurance
that Community Bankers stockholders would approve a dissolution
in a timely manner or ever approve a dissolution. If Community
Bankers is not able to obtain the approval from a majority of
the then outstanding shares of Community Bankers common stock,
Community Bankers would not be able to dissolve and liquidate
and Community Bankers would not be able to distribute funds from
its trust account to public stockholders and these funds would
not be available for any other corporate purpose.
Community Bankers anticipates that any liquidation would occur
pursuant to Section 281(b) of the DGCL and, in this event,
its board of directors would be required under
Section 281(b) of the DGCL to adopt, within a three year
period, a plan of distribution pursuant to which Community
Bankers would pay or make reasonable provision to pay all of
Community Bankers existing claims and obligations, all
contingent, conditional or unmatured contractual claims, claims
subject of a pending suit, and claims that are likely to arise
or become known within 10 years after its dissolution.
Community Bankers plan of distribution will provide that
Community Bankers will pay or reserve for such claims from its
funds not held in trust. Community Bankers board of
directors intends to adopt a plan of distribution and to
distribute the funds held in trust and any of its remaining
assets to public stockholders as promptly as practicable
following Community Bankers dissolution. Until adoption of
Community Bankers plan of distribution and distribution of
the funds held in trust, which Community Bankers anticipates
would be accomplished within six months following board approval
of Community Bankers dissolution, the funds would remain
in trust and held by the trustee in permitted investments.
Assuming Community Bankers dissolution were submitted to
and approved by its stockholders in accordance with Delaware
law, the holders of Community Bankers common stock issued in
Community Bankers initial public offering would, in that
event, be entitled to receive their proportionate share of the
trust account (including any interest not released to Community
Bankers, net of taxes, and the deferred underwriting discount).
In addition, such holders would be entitled to receive a pro
rata portion of Community Bankers remaining assets not
held in trust, less amounts Community Bankers would pay, or
reserve to pay, for all of Community Bankers liabilities
and obligations. These liabilities and obligations include
Community Bankers corporate expenses arising during
Community Bankers remaining existence and the costs
associated with its dissolution and liquidation. Community
Bankers corporate expenses are expected to be primarily
associated with preparation for and conduct of Community
Bankers special meeting of stockholders and Community
Bankers continuing public reporting obligations, including
legal services, proxy soliciting firms, services of Community
Bankers independent public accounting firm and legal fees
it may incur in the event of disputes with any claimants or
creditors. Gary A. Simanson, Community Bankers president
and chief executive officer, and David Zalman, an initial
stockholder, would be personally liable for ensuring that the
trust account is not reduced by claims of Community
Bankers vendors and service providers in the event of
Community Bankers dissolution and liquidation.
Messrs. Simanson and Zalman will not be liable for and will
not pay any termination fees that may be payable by Community
Bankers to TransCommunity or BOE under the respective merger
agreements. To the extent funds reserved to pay liabilities or
obligations are not subsequently used for such purpose, the
funds would be available for distribution to Community
Bankers public stockholders or for ongoing corporate
expenses including costs of its liquidation during its remaining
existence.
85
Community Bankers initial stockholders have waived their
rights to participate in any distribution with respect to shares
of common stock owned by them before Community Bankers
initial public offering upon its liquidation prior to a business
combination. In addition, the representatives of the
underwriters in Community Bankers initial public offering
have agreed to forfeit any rights to or claims against the
portion of the trust account attributable to the contingent
underwriting discount in the event Community Bankers does not
timely complete a business combination and dissolve and
distribute the funds held in the trust account upon its
liquidation. There will be no distribution from the trust
account with respect to Community Bankers warrants, which
will expire without value in the event of Community
Bankers liquidation.
Community Bankers currently estimates that if a liquidation were
to occur by
approximately ,
there would be approximately $ in
Delaware franchise taxes and income taxes not waived by taxing
authorities and for which Messrs. Simanson and Zalman have
not agreed to indemnify Community Bankers. Thus, Community
Bankers management believes that the total amount
available for distribution upon liquidation to the holders of
the 7,500,000 shares of common stock issued in Community
Bankers initial public offering, including deferred
underwriting discounts and accrued interest
through ,
would be approximately $ or
$ per share.
Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by
third parties against a corporation to the extent of
distributions received by them in a dissolution. If a
corporation, following its dissolution, complies with the
statutory procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL,
intended to ensure that the corporation makes reasonable
provision for all claims against it, any liability of
stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is
limited to the lesser of such stockholders pro rata share
of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and
any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third
anniversary of the dissolution. The procedures in
Section 280 include a
60-day
notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought
against the corporation, a
90-day
period during which the corporation may reject any claims
brought, and an additional
150-day
waiting period before any liquidating distributions may be made
to stockholders. However, it is Community Bankers
intention to seek approval of its stockholders to make
liquidating distributions to its public stockholders as soon as
reasonably practicable following Community Bankers
dissolution in accordance with Section 281(b) of the
Delaware statute. Therefore, Community Bankers
stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the
extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution and
any liability of Community Bankers stockholders may extend
beyond the third anniversary of such dissolution.
In addition, the proceeds deposited in the trust account could
become subject to the claims of Community Bankers
creditors and Community Bankers could be required to pay its
creditors prior to making any distributions to the holders of
shares of Community Bankers common stock that were issued in the
initial public offering. Community Bankers has prepaid certain
of its material legal, printing, accounting, administrative and
financial advisory fees and intends to prepay or to obtain
waiver agreements from vendors and service providers it may
engage in the future for any material amounts. Any such waiver
agreements will provide that the applicable vendor or service
provider waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind
in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of
Community Bankers and the holders of shares of Community Bankers
common stock that were issued in the initial public offering. If
any potential vendor or service provider objects to being
prepaid or refuses to enter into a waiver agreement, Community
Bankers will consider whether there is a suitable alternative
provider, the expected aggregate contract amount and Community
Bankers assessment of the potential risk to the trust
account before engaging such person. However, because Community
Bankers is a blank check company, rather than an operating
company, and Community Bankers operations are limited to
searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only
likely claims to arise would be from Community Bankers
vendors or service providers (such as accountants, lawyers or
investment bankers) or potential target businesses. In addition,
TransCommunity and BOE have agreed and Community Bankers will
require any other target business to agree as part of any
definitive acquisition agreement that it will not pursue any
claim or enforce any right, title, interest or claim of any kind
in or to any monies held in the trust account. As a result of
these efforts coupled with Messrs. Simansons and
Zalmans agreement to be responsible to ensure that the
proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of
any vendor or service provider, management believes the claims
that could be made against Community Bankers is significantly
limited and the likelihood that any claim that would result in
any liability extending to the trust is remote. However, there
can be no guarantee that persons will not seek recourse against
the trust account.
86
Accordingly, Community Bankers cannot assure you that the actual
per share liquidation price will not be less than
$ per share due to claims of
creditors.
Competition
If Community Bankers succeeds in effecting the mergers with
TransCommunity and BOE, there will be, in all likelihood,
intense competition from competitors of the target business in
the commercial banking industry and other financial service
businesses. Community Bankers cannot assure you that, subsequent
to the mergers, Community Bankers will have the resources or
ability to compete effectively.
Employees
Community Bankers officers and directors are not obligated
to contribute any specific number of hours to Community
Bankers matters and devote only as much time as they deem
necessary to its affairs. Community Bankers executive
officers are also involved with business ventures other than
Community Bankers. The amount of time they devote in any time
period varies based on the availability of suitable target
businesses to investigate although Mr. Simanson devotes the
majority of his professional time to Community Bankers
business. Community Bankers does not currently have and does not
intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation
of the merger with TransCommunity. In the event the mergers with
TransCommunity and BOE are consummated, Community Bankers will
have an
estimated
employees.
Properties
Community Bankers maintains its executive offices at 9912
Georgetown Pike,
Suite D-203,
Great Falls, Virginia 22066. The cost for this space is included
in the $7,500 per-month fee Community Bankers Acquisition, LLC
charges Community Bankers for general and administrative
services pursuant to a letter agreement between Community
Bankers and Community Bankers Acquisition, LLC. The $7,500 per
month fee will no longer be payable following consummation of
the merger with TransCommunity. We believe, based on rents and
fees for similar services in the Great Falls, Virginia
metropolitan area, that the fee charged by Community Bankers
Acquisition, LLC is at least as favorable as Community Bankers
could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. Community
Bankers considers its current office space adequate for its
current activities. In the event the merger with TransCommunity
is consummated, Community Bankers executive offices will
be in Glen Allen, Virginia.
Legal
Proceedings
To the knowledge of management there is no litigation pending or
contemplated against Community Bankers or any of Community
Bankers officers or directors in their capacity as such.
Periodic
Reporting and Financial Information
Community Bankers has registered its units, common stock and
warrants under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
or the Exchange Act, and has reporting obligations, including
the requirement that it file annual and quarterly reports with
the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange
Act, Community Bankers has filed with the SEC an Annual Report
on
Form 10-K
for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and a Quarterly
Report on
Form 10-Q
for its quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Changes
in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure
As reported on a Current Report on
Form 8-K
filed May 18, 2007, Community Bankers advised Yount,
Hyde & Barbour, P.C. on May 15, 2007, that
the Audit Committee of Community Bankers board of
directors had determined to engage Miller, Ellin &
Company LLP on that date as Community Bankers independent
registered public accounting firm to audit Community
Bankers financial statements as of and for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2007, and to serve as Community
Bankers independent registered public accounting firm for
the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008. As reported on a
Current Report on
Form 8-K
filed November 2, 2007, on October 29, 2007, Community
Bankers board of directors acted in accordance with
Community Bankers bylaws to change Community Bankers
fiscal year to end on December 31, commencing with the
fiscal year ending December 31,
87
2007. The reports of Yount, Hyde & Barbour, P.C.
on Community Bankers consolidated financial statements as
of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, did not
contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were
they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principle. During the period from inception through
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, and through
May 15, 2007, there were no (1) disagreements with
Yount, Hyde and Barbour, P.C. on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not
resolved to Yount, Hyde and Barbours satisfaction, would
have caused Yount, Hyde and Barbour to make reference thereto in
its report on the financial statements for such years, or
(2) reportable events described under
Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of
Regulation S-K.
Community
Bankers Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended
September 30, 2007
General
Community Bankers was incorporated on April 6, 2005, to
serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange,
asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an
operating commercial bank or bank holding company. Community
Bankers first business combination or series of such
transactions must have a fair market value of at least 80% of
Community Bankers net assets (excluding the amount held in
the trust account representing a portion of the
underwriters discount) at the time of such transaction(s).
Community Bankers consummated Community Bankers initial
public offering on June 8, 2006. Community Bankers have
neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to
date other than interest income. Community Bankers entire
activity since inception has been to prepare for and consummate
Community Bankers initial public offering and to identify
and investigate targets for an initial business combination.
Until the announcement on September 6, 2007, that Community
Bankers had entered into the agreement and plan of merger with
TransCommunity, Community Bankers efforts had been
primarily organizational, activities relating to Community
Bankers offering and searching for and identifying targets
for an initial business combination. Until the consummation of a
business combination, Community Bankers expects interest earned
on the offering proceeds held in trust to be Community
Bankers primary source of income.
Community Bankers entered into the merger agreement with
TransCommunity on September 5, 2007. The merger agreement
sets forth the terms and conditions of Community Bankers
acquisition of TransCommunity through the merger of
TransCommunity with and into Community Bankers. TransCommunity
Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCommunity, will become a
wholly owned subsidiary of the surviving company in the merger.
Under the terms of the merger agreement with TransCommunity,
Community Bankers will issue to the stockholders of
TransCommunity, for each share of TransCommunitys common
stock that they own, 1.4200 shares of Community
Bankers common stock, subject to adjustment as described
below. If the daily average closing price for Community
Bankers common stock for the 20 consecutive days of
trading in such stock ending five days before the closing date
is less than $7.42, Community Bankers will increase the exchange
ratio to the quotient obtained by dividing $10.5364 by such
daily average closing price.
In addition, at the effective time of the merger, each
outstanding option to purchase shares of TransCommunitys
common stock under any of TransCommunitys stock plans
shall vest pursuant to its terms and shall be converted into an
option to acquire the number of shares of Community
Bankers common stock equal to the number of shares of
common stock underlying the option multiplied by the exchange
ratio. The exercise price of each option will be adjusted
accordingly. Additionally, each outstanding share of
TransCommunity restricted stock under any of
TransCommunitys stock plans shall vest pursuant to its
terms and shall be converted into and become rights with respect
to Community Bankers common stock. Each share of TransCommunity
restricted stock will be converted into 1.4200 shares of
Community Bankers common stock.
Consummation of the merger with TransCommunity is subject to a
number of customary conditions including the approval of the
merger by the stockholders of each of TransCommunity and
Community Bankers and the receipt of all required regulatory
approvals. In addition, closing of the transaction is also
conditioned on holders of fewer than 20% of the shares of
Community Bankers common stock voting against the
transaction and electing to convert
88
their shares of Community Bankers common stock into cash.
Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger either party may
terminate the agreement in the event the merger is not
consummated by May 31, 2008.
Due to regulatory and stockholder approvals as well as the
closing conditions associated with the transaction, Community
Bankers cannot assure stockholders and investors that Community
Bankers will consummate the merger in the allotted time. If
Community Bankers does not effect the merger with TransCommunity
by June 7, 2008, Community Bankers will be forced to
dissolve and liquidate.
Community Bankers entered into the merger agreement with BOE on
December 13, 2007. The merger agreement sets forth the
terms and conditions of Community Bankers acquisition of
BOE through the merger of BOE with and into Community Bankers.
Bank of Essex, a wholly owned subsidiary of BOE, will become a
wholly owned subsidiary of the surviving company in the merger.
Under the terms of the merger agreement with BOE, Community
Bankers will issue to the stockholders of BOE, for each share of
BOEs common stock that they own, 5.7278 shares of
Community Bankers common stock, subject to adjustment as
described below. If the daily average closing price for
Community Bankers common stock for the 20 consecutive days
of trading in such stock ending five days before the closing
date is less than $7.42, Community Bankers will increase the
exchange ratio to the quotient obtained by dividing $42.50 by
such daily average closing price.
In addition, at the effective time of the merger, each
outstanding option to purchase shares of BOEs common stock
under any of BOEs stock plans shall vest pursuant to its
terms and shall be converted into an option to acquire the
number of shares of Community Bankers common stock equal
to the number of shares of common stock underlying the option
multiplied by the exchange ratio. The exercise price of each
option will be adjusted accordingly.
Consummation of the merger with BOE is subject to a number of
customary conditions including the approval of the merger by the
stockholders of each of BOE and Community Bankers and the
receipt of all required regulatory approvals. Pursuant to the
agreement and plan of merger either party may terminate the
agreement in the event the merger is not consummated by
June 30, 2008.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended
September 30, 2007. For the three months
ended September 30, 2007, operating costs of $111,605
consisted primarily of $31,167 in legal and other professional
fees, $26,813 for office and administrative services, $23,625
for amortization of prepaid insurance and $30,000 for travel and
due diligence. Interest income on the trust fund investments,
including interest allocable to shares subject to possible
conversion, amounted to $712,368. This resulted in net income
for the three months ended September 30, 2007 of $372,550,
net of $228,338 of provision for income taxes.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended
September 30, 2006. For the six months
ended September 30, 2007, operating costs of $171,887
consisted primarily of $36,516 in legal and other professional
fees, $55,871 for office and administrative services and $49,000
for amortization of prepaid insurance and $30,500 for travel and
due diligence. Interest income on the trust fund investments,
including interest allocable to shares subject to possible
conversion, amounted to $1,418,538. This resulted in net income
for the six months ended September 30, 2007 of $779,392,
net of $477,691 of provision for income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. The
net proceeds of Community Bankers initial public offering,
after deducting the underwriters discount and initial public
offering expenses, was $54,950,000. Of these net proceeds,
$54,350,000 has been placed in a trust account at
J.P. Morgan Chase Bank maintained by Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, New York, New York, as
trustee, and invested in U.S. government securities
together with an additional $2,100,000 of deferred underwriting
compensation. The funds held in the trust account, other than
the deferred underwriting compensation, may be used as
consideration to pay the sellers of a target business with which
Community Bankers ultimately completes a business combination.
One-half of the interest earned on the trust account, net of
taxes, will be retained in the trust account for distribution to
public stockholders under certain circumstances. The remaining
interest earned on the trust account, net of taxes, up to
$1,129,000 may be released to us periodically to
fund Community Bankers working capital requirements.
Upon the consummation of a business combination, Community
Bankers will pay the deferred underwriting compensation to the
underwriters out of the proceeds of the initial public offering
held in trust. Any amounts not paid as consideration to the
sellers of
89
the target business or to the underwriters as deferred
underwriting fees may be used to finance the operations of the
target business, pay expenses associated with the merger, make
capital contributions, repurchase Community Bankers
securities or to engage in subsequent acquisitions.
As of September 30, 2007, Community Bankers had cash not
held in trust of $397,225, including interest released to us
from the trust account. During the balance of 2007 and in 2008
until consummation of a business combination, Community Bankers
will generate interest income on Community Bankers cash
outside of the trust account which can also be used to pay part
of Community Bankers costs and expenses. Community Bankers
will be using the funds not held in trust together with interest
released to us from the trust account from time to time for
identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates,
performing business due diligence on prospective target
businesses, traveling to and from the offices of prospective
target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material
agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the
target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and
consummating the business combination. Community Bankers
cash requirements are expected to change based on the timing,
nature and outcome of Community Bankers intended business
combination.
Community Bankers is obligated, commencing June 5, 2006,
and ending upon the acquisition of a target business, to pay to
Community Bankers Acquisition, LLC, an affiliate of one of
Community Bankers directors and executive officers and a
stockholder, a monthly fee of $7,500 for office space and
general and administrative services. Community Bankers
anticipates that Community Bankers will incur, in addition to
the administrative fee to Community Bankers Acquisition LLC,
expenses for legal, accounting and other expenses attendant to
the structuring, negotiating and completing of Community
Bankers initial business combination, due diligence of
prospective target businesses, expenses in legal and accounting
fees relating to bank regulatory compliance, SEC reporting
obligations and internal controls and for general working
capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses and
reserves, including director and officer liability insurance
premiums. Community Bankers has prepaid $687,000 in expenses for
professional fees, administrative services and insurance and
believes that Community Bankers has sufficient capital to meet
Community Bankers
day-to-day
operating expenses until consummation of Community Bankers
initial business combination. However, Community Bankers may
need to raise additional funds through a private offering or
debt or equity securities if it is required to consummate a
business combination that is presented to us. Community Bankers
would only consummate such a fundraising simultaneously with the
consummation of a business combination.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to
adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument.
These changes may be the result of various factors, including
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices
and/or
equity prices. Community Bankers exposure to market risk
is limited to interest income sensitivity with respect to the
funds placed in the trust account. However, the funds held in
Community Bankers trust account have been invested only in
U.S. government securities, defined as any
Treasury Bill issued by the United States having a maturity of
one hundred and eighty days or less or in money market funds
meeting certain conditions under
Rule 2a-7
promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, so
Community Bankers is not deemed to be an investment company
under the Investment Company Act. Thus, Community Bankers is
subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes
in interest rates on government securities. The effect of other
changes, such as foreign exchange rates, commodity prices
and/or
equity prices, does not pose significant market risk to us.
The following discussion of Community Bankers financial
condition and results of operations should be read in
conjunction with Community Bankers financial statements
included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the accuracy
of which involves risks and uncertainties. Community
Bankers actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many
reasons, including the risks faced by Community Bankers
described in Risk Factors on page .

General
Community Bankers was incorporated on April 6, 2005, to
serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange,
asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an
operating commercial bank or bank holding company. Community
Bankers first business combination or series of such
transactions must have a fair market value of at least 80% of
Community Bankers net assets (excluding the amount held in
the trust account representing a portion of the
underwriters discount) at the time of such transaction(s).
Community Bankers consummated its initial public offering on
June 8, 2006. Community Bankers neither engaged in any
operations nor generated any revenues, other than interest
income, nor incurred any debt or expenses during the period
ended March 31, 2007, other than in connection with
Community Bankers initial public offering, meeting
Community Bankers regulatory reporting requirements
including legal and accounting and certain legal and other
expenses related to pursuing acquisitions of targets. Community
Bankers entire activity since inception has been to
prepare for and consummate our initial public offering and to
identify and investigate targets for an initial business
combination.
Community Bankers is not presently engaged in, and will not
engage in, any substantive commercial business until it
consummates the merger with TransCommunity or another business
combination. Community Bankers intends to utilize cash derived
from the proceeds of its initial public offering, its capital
stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt, in
effecting the merger with TransCommunity or another business
combination. If Community Bankers is unable to consummate the
merger with TransCommunity by June 7, 2008, Community
Bankers will be required to dissolve and liquidate.
Results
of Operations for the Period April 6, 2005 (inception) to
March 31, 2006
For the period ended March 31, 2006, Community Bankers had
no operating costs or income.
Results
of Operations for the Year Ended March 31,
2007
For the year ended March 31, 2007, operating costs of
$338,661 consisted primarily of $117,222 in legal and
professional fees, $75,000 for office and administrative
services, $87,500 for amortization of prepaid insurance and
$7,748 in travel expenses. Interest income on the trust account
investments, including interest allocable to shares subject to
possible conversion, amounted to $2,268,760. This resulted in
net income for the year ended March 31, 2007 of $1,124,099.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The net proceeds of Community Bankers initial public
offering, after deducting the underwriters discount and
offering expenses, was $54,950,000. Of these net proceeds,
$54,350,000 was placed in a trust account at J.P. Morgan
Chase Bank maintained by Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, New York, New York, as trustee, and invested
in United States government securities together with an
additional $2,100,000 of deferred underwriting compensation. The
funds held in the trust account, other than the deferred
underwriting compensation, may be used as consideration to pay
the sellers of a target business with which Community Bankers
ultimately completes a business combination. One-half of the
interest earned on the trust account, net of taxes, will be
retained in the trust account for distribution to the holders of
shares of Community Bankers common stock that was issued in the
initial public offering under certain circumstances. The
remaining interest earned on the trust account, net of taxes, up
to $1,129,000 may be released to Community Bankers periodically
to fund its working capital requirements. Upon the consummation
of the merger with TransCommunity or another business
combination, Community Bankers will pay the deferred
underwriting compensation to the underwriters in its initial
public offering out of the proceeds of its initial public
offering held in trust. Any amounts not paid as consideration to
the sellers of the target business or to the underwriters in
Community Bankers initial public offering as deferred
underwriting fees may be used to finance the operations of the
target business or for subsequent acquisitions.
As of March 31, 2007, Community Bankers had cash not held
in trust of $676,183, including $600,000 of interest released to
Community Bankers from the trust account. In 2007, Community
Bankers will generate interest income on its cash outside of the
trust account which can also be used to pay part of its costs
and expenses. Community Bankers uses the funds not held in trust
together with interest released to Community Bankers from the

trust account from time to time for identifying and evaluating
prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due
diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and
from the offices of prospective target businesses, reviewing
corporate documents and material agreements of prospective
target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and
structuring, negotiating and consummating the business
combination. Community Bankers cash requirements are

Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to
adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument.
These changes may be the result of various factors, including
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices
and/or
equity prices. Community Bankers exposure to market risk
is limited to interest income sensitivity with respect to the
funds placed in the trust account. However, the funds held in
the Community Bankers trust account have been invested only in
U.S. government securities, defined as any
Treasury Bill issued by the United States having a maturity of
180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain
conditions under
Rule 2a-7
promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, so
Community Bankers is not deemed to be an investment company
under the Investment Company Act. Thus, Community Bankers is
subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes
in interest rates on government securities. The effect of other
changes, such as foreign exchange rates, commodity prices
and/or
equity prices, does not pose significant market risk to
Community Bankers.

94
Community Bankers may identify, from time to time, additional
individuals to serve as special advisors if those individuals
possess a level of experience within the financial or banking
sectors that Community Bankers believes may be beneficial

Section 16(a)
Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Community
Bankers executive officers and directors, and persons who
own more than 10% of any publicly traded class of Community
Bankers equity securities, to file reports of ownership
and changes in ownership of equity securities of Community
Bankers with the SEC and the American Stock Exchange. Officers,
directors, and greater-than-10% stockholders are required by the
SECs regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms that they file.
Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and Forms 4
furnished to Community Bankers during the most recent fiscal
year, and Forms 5 with respect to its most recent fiscal
year, Community Bankers believes that all such forms required to
be filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act were
timely filed, as necessary, by the officers, directors, and
security holders required to file the same during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2007.
Board of
Directors
The board of directors oversees the business affairs of
Community Bankers and monitors the performance of management.
Pursuant to Community Bankers bylaws, the board of

consisting of Mr. Paperin, will expire at the second
special meeting following completion of the initial public

consisting of Mr. Simanson and Mr. Putnam, will expire
at the third special meeting following completion of the initial

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, Community

attended at least 75% of the meetings of Community Bankers
board of directors and the committees on which they served
except that Mr. Paperin did not attend one of the two

Community Bankers board of directors has established
policies regarding meetings and executive sessions. Under such
policies, Community Bankers board of directors is to meet

Bankers board of directors shall meet in executive session
without management on a regularly scheduled basis, but no less
than once annually. Community Bankers board of directors
encourages all current board of directors members to attend the

responsibility to take immediately all action necessary to
rectify such noncompliance or otherwise cause compliance with
the terms of Community Bankers initial public offering.

Nominating
Committee
Community Bankers board of directors has also established
a nominating committee, consisting of Stewart J. Paperin,
Eugene S. Putnam, Jr. and Keith Walz, and has adopted a
charter for this committee. The nominating committee is

regarding the membership of Community Bankers board of
directors, including; (1) recommending to the board of

special meeting of stockholders; (2) considering,
recommending and recruiting candidates to fill any vacancies or
new positions on the board of directors, including candidates
that may be recommended by stockholders; (3) establishing
criteria for selecting new directors; and (4) reviewing the
backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates for
director positions. The nominating committee held one meeting
during the transition year April 1, 2007 to
December 31, 2007.
The nominating committee will evaluate a candidate proposed by
any single stockholder or group of stockholders that
beneficially owned more than 5% of Community Bankers common
stock for at least one year (and will hold the required number
of shares through the meeting of stockholders at which the
election will occur) and that satisfies the notice, information
and consent procedures set forth below.
To submit a recommendation of a director candidate to the
committee, a stockholder should submit the following information
in writing, addressed to the chairman of the nominating
committee, care of the corporate secretary, at Community
Bankers main office; (1) the name of the person
recommended as a director candidate; (2) all information
relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in
solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to
Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, as amended;
(3) the written consent of the person being recommended as
a director candidate to being named in the proxy statement as a
nominee and to serving as a director if elected; (4) as to
the stockholder making the recommendation, the name and address,
as they appear on Community Bankers books, of such
stockholder; provided, however, that if the stockholder

a current written statement from the record holder of the shares
that reflects ownership of such stockholders shares of
Community Bankers common stock; and (5) a statement

of any other person and, if applicable, the identity of such
person.

a compensation committee, consisting of Eugene S.
Putnam, Jr., Keith Walz and Stewart J. Paperin, in order to
comply with the American Stock Exchange corporate governance
listing requirements. Community Bankers compensation
committee does not currently have a charter, as management will
receive no compensation until completion of a business

March 31, 2007, or the transition year April 1, 2007
to December 31, 2007.

stockholders and should follow the procedures described within
Community Bankers proxy statement or other Exchange Act

Executive
Compensation
No executive officer or director has received any cash
compensation for services rendered. Commencing on June 5,
2006, through the acquisition of a target business, Community
Bankers will pay Community Bankers Acquisition, LLC, an
affiliate of Mr. Simanson, Community Bankers
president and chief executive officer, and Mr. Zalman, a
stockholder, a fee of $7,500 per month for providing Community
Bankers with office space and certain office and secretarial
services.
Other than this $7,500 per-month fee, no compensation of any
kind, including finders and consulting fees, will be paid
to any of Community Bankers existing stockholders, or any
of their respective affiliates, including First Capital Group,
an entity owned by Mr. Simanson, for services rendered to
Community Bankers with respect to the initial business
combination. However, Community Bankers existing
stockholders will be reimbursed for any
out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with activities on Community
Bankers behalf such as identifying potential target
businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business
combinations. Such individuals may be paid consulting,
management or other fees from target businesses, either prior to
or as a result of the business combination, with such amounts
being fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known,
in the proxy materials furnished to the stockholders. There is
no limit on the amount of these
out-of-pocket
expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of
the expenses by anyone other than Community Bankers board
of directors, which includes persons who may seek reimbursement,
or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is
challenged.
Employment
Agreements
Currently, Community Bankers does not have an employment
agreement with Gary A. Simanson, its sole executive officer.
Community Bankers expects to enter into employment agreements
with each of Bruce B. Nolte, Patrick J. Tewell, Richard C.
Stonbraker, M. Andrew McLean and Gary A. Simanson prior to the
completion of the merger with TransCommunity. Upon completion of
the proposed merger with BOE, Community Bankers also expects to
enter into employment agreements with George M.
Longest, Jr. and Bruce E. Thomas. For more information, see
The Merger Certain Benefits of Directors and
Officers of Community Bankers and BOE Employment
Agreements.
97
Director
Compensation
None of Community Bankers directors received compensation
for their service to Community Bankers since inception through
December 31, 2007, nor have there been any grants of stock
based awards or stock options to directors. Compensation has not
been determined for directors of the surviving corporation
following the merger with TransCommunity or following the merger
with BOE.
Indemnification
Matters
Community Bankers certificate of incorporation provides
for indemnification of agents including directors, officers and
employees to the maximum extent allowed by Delaware law.
Community Bankers certificate of incorporation requires
indemnification of any person who was or is a party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent if Community
Bankers board of directors (or other committee or entity
empowered to make such a determination) formally determines that
he acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably deemed
consistent with, or not opposed to, Community Bankers best
interests. With respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
Community Bankers board of directors (or other committee
or entity empowered to make such a determination) must formally
determine that he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful. In the case of any action, suit or proceeding by
or in the right of Community Bankers, no indemnification shall
be made if such person is determined to be liable to Community
Bankers, unless and only to the extent that the court in which
such proceeding was brought determines upon application that
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. To
the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent has
prevailed in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, he
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him. The
indemnification provided by Community Bankers certificate
of incorporation is not exclusive of any other rights to which
those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any statute,
bylaw, agreement, vote of uninvolved stockholders, directors or
otherwise.
Community Bankers certificate of incorporation also
provides that Community Bankers may purchase and maintain
insurance covering its directors, officers, employees and agents
against any liability asserted against any of them and incurred
by any of them, whether or not Community Bankers would have the
power to indemnify them against such liability under the
provisions of Community Bankers certificate of
incorporation and applicable Delaware law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to Community Bankers
directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the
provisions described above, or otherwise, Community Bankers has
been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.

All of the shares owned by Community Bankers initial
stockholders are held in escrow by Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company as escrow agent. These
shares will be released from escrow on June 2, 2009, but
only if the merger with TransCommunity or another business
combination is completed on or before the deadlines contained in
Community Bankers certificate of incorporation. The
holders of the majority of these shares are entitled to make up
to two demands that Community Bankers register these shares for
resale pursuant to an agreement signed concurrently with the
consummation of Community Bankers initial public offering.
The holders of the majority of these shares are entitled to
elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after
the date on which these shares of common stock are released from
escrow. In addition, these stockholders will have certain
piggy-back registration rights on registration
statements filed subsequent to the date on which these shares of
common stock are released from escrow. Community Bankers will
bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any
such registration statements.
In addition, Gary A. Simanson, president and chief executive
officer of Community Bankers, and David Zalman, a stockholder,
agreed as part of Community Bankers initial public
offering, pursuant to an agreement with the representatives of
the underwriters in the initial public offering, that they or
their affiliates or designees, would purchase up to 1,000,000
warrants in the aggregate in open market transactions at market
prices not to exceed $0.80 per warrant. Under this agreement,
I-Bankers Securities, Inc., Maxim Group LLC and Legend Merchant
Group, Inc., the representatives of the underwriters, also
agreed to place an irrevocable order for the purchase by them,
or their affiliates or designees, of up to 500,000 warrants in
the aggregate under identical terms and conditions as the
purchases by Mr. Simanson and Mr. Zalman. As a result
of the agreement, Community Bankers Acquisition LLC, an
affiliate of Mr. Simanson, acquired an aggregate of 349,724
warrants and the representatives of the underwriters acquired an
aggregate of 300,000 warrants.
Community Bankers Acquisition, LLC, an affiliate of
Mr. Simanson, Community Bankers president and chief
executive officer, has agreed that, commencing on the effective
date of Community Bankers initial public offering
prospectus through the acquisition of a target business, it will
make available to Community Bankers a small amount of office
space and certain office and secretarial services, as Community
Bankers may require from time to time. Community Bankers has
agreed to pay Community Bankers Acquisition, LLC $7,500 per
month for these services. An aggregate of $180,000, including a
prepaid amount of $37,500, has been paid through
December 31, 2007.
Community Bankers will reimburse its officers, directors and
stockholders for any reasonable
out-of-pocket
business expenses incurred by them in connection with certain
activities on Community Bankers behalf such as identifying
and investigating possible target businesses and business
combinations. There is no limit on the amount
99
of accountable
out-of-pocket
expenses reimbursable by Community Bankers, which will be
reviewed only by Community Bankers board of directors or a
court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is
challenged. As of the date of this joint proxy
statement/prospectus, the
out-of-pocket
expenses currently owed by Community Bankers to its officers and
directors is estimated to be less than
$ .
Other than the $7,500 per month administrative fees and
reimbursable
out-of-pocket
expenses payable to Community Bankers officers, directors
and stockholders, no compensation or fees of any kind, including
finders and consulting fees, will be paid to any of Community
Bankers existing stockholders, officers or directors who
owned Community Bankers common stock prior to Community
Bankers initial public offering, or to any of their
respective affiliates, including First Capital Group which is
affiliated with Mr. Simanson, for services rendered to
Community Bankers with respect to the initial business
combination.
All ongoing and future material transactions between Community
Bankers and any of its officers and directors or their
respective affiliates will be on terms believed by Community
Bankers to be no less favorable than are available from
unaffiliated third parties and will require prior approval in
each instance by a majority of the members of Community
Bankers board of directors who do not have an interest in
the transaction. In their consideration of each transaction,
these members of the board of directors will be provided with
access, should they so request and at Community Bankers
expense, to Community Bankers attorneys or independent
legal counsel selected by them. Moreover, Community Bankers
shall endeavor to obtain and present to the directors
considering such transaction estimates obtained from
unaffiliated third parties for similar goods or services to
ascertain whether such transaction is on terms that are no less
favorable to Community Bankers than is otherwise available from
such unaffiliated third parties. If a transaction with an
affiliated third party is found to be on terms less favorable to
Community Bankers than with an unaffiliated third party,
Community Bankers will not engage in such transaction.

INFORMATION
ABOUT BOE FINANCIAL SERVICES OF VIRGINIA, INC.
General
BOE owns all of the stock of its sole direct subsidiary, Bank of
Essex. BOE was incorporated under Virginia law in 2000 to become
the holding company for the Bank of Essex. The headquarters of
BOE is located in Tappahannock, Virginia.
Bank of Essex was established in 1926 and is headquartered in
Tappahannock, Virginia. Bank of Essex operates eight
full-service offices in Virginia, engages in a general
commercial banking business and provides a wide range of
financial services primarily to individuals and small
businesses, including individual and commercial demand and time
deposit accounts, commercial and consumer loans, travelers
checks, safe deposit box facilities, investment services and
fixed rate residential mortgages. Two offices are located in
Tappahannock, one each in Manquin, Mechanicsville, West Point,
Glen Allen, Burgess and Callao, Virginia, respectively.
Essex Services, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of
Essex and was formed to sell title insurance to Bank of
Essexs mortgage loan customers. Essex Services, Inc. also
offers insurance products through an ownership interest in
Bankers Insurance, LLC and investment products through an
affiliation with VBA Investments, LLC.
BOE recently constructed a new headquarters facility which is
located at 1325 Tappahannock Boulevard, approximately one mile
from its former Main Office at 323 Prince Street. Upon the
opening of this office BOE simultaneously closed a branch bank
located across the highway from the new headquarters and
redesignated the current main office as a branch bank. The
former main office also houses Bank of Essexs data
processing department and loan processing center. BOE began
operating from this new location and closed the branch bank on
June 12, 2006.
BOEs expansion efforts have contributed to its growth and
improved profitability. Total assets have increased from
$115.5 million at the end of 1996 to $281.4 million at
December 31, 2006. Net income has grown from $947,000 in
1996 to $3.1 million in 2006. Diluted earnings per share
were $1.01 in 1996 versus $2.58 in 2006. BOEs return on
assets was 0.85% in 1996 and 1.15% in 2006. Return on equity was
10.57% in 1996 and 11.47% in 2006.
Loan growth since BOE expanded into metropolitan Richmond has
come principally from rate sensitive commercial loans which have
served to mitigate BOEs interest rate risk. At the same
time this growth in commercial loans has increased Bank of
Essexs credit risk.
103
Recent
Developments
On February 4, 2008, BOE announced its results of
operations for the fourth quarter of 2007. Net income for the
fourth quarter of 2007 was $596,000, a decrease of $317,000, or
34.7%, from net income of $913,000 for the same period in 2006.
The decrease to net income for the fourth quarter of 2007
compared to the same period in 2006 was due to a December 2006
sale of a former branch banking facility. This nonrecurring item
caused gain on sale of other properties to be $477,000 in the
fourth quarter of 2006 compared to $0 for the same period in
2007. Additionally, there was an increase of $187,000 in
noninterest expenses, from $2.209 million in the fourth
quarter of 2006 to $2.396 million in the fourth quarter
2007. Offsetting these decreases to net income was an increase
of 8.9%, or $209,000, in net interest income. Net interest
income was $2.569 million for the fourth quarter 2007
compared to $2.360 million for the fourth quarter of 2006.
Also, there was an increase of $55,000, or 11.5%, in noninterest
income, from $479,000 in the fourth quarter of 2006, to $534,000
for the same period in 2007. Income tax expense declined 42.0%,
or $84,000, from $200,000 in the fourth quarter of 2006 to
$116,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007. Additionally, strong
asset quality resulted in no additional expense in provision for
loan losses for the fourth quarter of both years. On
December 31, 2007 loans past due 90 days or more and
accruing interest was $17,000 and loans not accruing interest
totaled $96,000. For the year ending December 31, 2007
charged-off loans were $272,000 against recoveries of $461,000.
Earnings per common share were $0.49 for the fourth quarter in
2007 compared to $0.75 for the same period in 2006.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, BOE reported net
income of $2.608 million, compared to net income of
$3.123 million for 2006, a decrease of $515,000, or 16.5%.
This decrease in earnings was primarily the result of an
increase of $876,000, or 11.1%, in noninterest expenses.
Salaries was the largest component of this increase, $432,000,
which increased primarily from the addition of staff that was
hired and trained in 2007 to operate two new full service
offices of Bank of Essex in Northumberland County, Virginia.
The year 2007 was the first full year of operations for
BOEs corporate headquarters and branch banking facility
that opened in June 2006, accounting for the majority of
increases in occupancy expenses of $159,000. Gain on sale of
other properties decreased $467,000 from 2006 to 2007 due to the
sale of bank property referred to above. Additionally, legal and
professional fees increased $236,000 in 2007 compared to 2006 as
a result of BOEs due diligence process prior to announcing
the merger agreement with Community Bankers. Offsetting these
decreases to net income was an increase of $237,000, or 2.4%, in
net interest income, from $9.762 million in 2006 to
$9.999 million in 2007. Noninterest income increased $204,
000, or 11.4%, from $1.796 million in 2006 to
$2.000 million in 2007. Also improving net income was a
95.2%, or $119,000, reduction in provision for loan losses and a
33.5%, or $292,000, decrease in income tax expense for 2007
compared to 2006. Earnings per common share were $2.15 for the
full year 2007 compared to $2.58 for the same period in 2006.
Average diluted shares outstanding increased by 5,143 during
2007.
Loans, net of allowance for loan losses, increased 12.6%, or
$24.463 million, and were $218.954 million on
December 31, 2007. Total deposits grew 5.9%, or
$13.728 million, to end 2007 at $244.593 million.

Employees
At September 30, 2007, BOE had 96 full-time equivalent
employees. None of its employees is represented by any
collective bargaining unit. BOE considers relations with its
employees to be excellent.
106
SEC
Filings
BOE maintains an internet website at www.bankofessex.com. This
website contains information relating to BOE and its business.
Stockholders of BOE and the public may access BOEs
periodic and current reports, including annual reports on
Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q
and current reports on
Form 8-K,
and any amendments to those reports, filed with or furnished to
the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, through the
Investors section of BOEs website. The reports
are made available on this website as soon as practicable
following the filing of the reports with the SEC. This
information is free of charge and may be reviewed, downloaded
and printed from the website at any time.
Market
Area
BOEs eight offices serve a diverse market from the edge of
the City of Richmond in Hanover and Henrico Counties to
Tappahannock, Virginia on the Rappahannock River in Essex County
and into the Northern Neck. From suburban Hanover and Henrico
Counties, the market area is primarily rural along Route 360
through King William and King and Queen Counties into Essex
County and two recently opened offices in Northumberland County
in the Northern Neck of Virginia. BOEs management believes
Route 360 is a developing growth corridor from Richmond to the
east. Tappahannock is approximately 40 miles from downtown
Richmond and about one hour from Fredericksburg. Through its
Tappahannock branches, BOE also serves the central portions of
the Middle Peninsula and the Northern Neck of Virginia. Through
its West Point office, BOE serves portions of the Middle
Peninsula of Virginia.
BOE made application in 2007 with the State Corporation
Commissions Bureau of Financial Institutions and received
approval to establish two branches in Northumberland County,
Virginia. One location will be constructed in Callao and one in
Burgess. Route 360 runs through Northumberland County, which is
located in the Northern Neck of Virginia and has experienced
significant growth in total deposits the last ten years as the
area has evolved from an area dependent upon agricultural and
industrial seafood production to a growing waterfront retirement
community with associated service businesses. These two offices
are currently open in temporary mobile banking units and
construction of permanent facilities is expected to begin in
mid-year 2008.
Competition
Within the Richmond, Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck areas,
BOE operates in a highly competitive environment, competing for
deposits and loans with commercial corporations, savings and
loans and other financial institutions, including non-bank
competitors, many of which possess substantially greater
financial resources than those available to BOE. Many of these
institutions have significantly higher lending limits than BOE.
In addition, there can be no assurance that other financial
institutions, with substantially greater resources than BOE,
will not establish operations in BOEs service area. The
financial services industry remains highly competitive and is
constantly evolving.
In Essex County, BOE commands 38.7% of the deposits in the
market, according to the most recently available survey of
deposits by the FDIC (June 30, 2007). Serving King William
County, the branches at Central Garage and West Point have
experienced steady growth, reaching 21.5% of the deposits in the
King William County market as of the June 30, 2007 FDIC
survey of deposits, while competing with previously established
branches. BOEs office located on Route 360 in eastern
Hanover County had $37.7 million in total deposits on
June 30, 2007. In Henrico County BOEs office located
near Virginia Center Commons Mall has experienced strong growth
while competing against other community banks and established
offices of statewide banks in the vicinity. This office had
$47.2 million in total deposits on June 30, 2007.
Factors such as rates offered on loan and deposit products,
types of products offered, the number and location of branch
offices, as well as the reputation of institutions in the
market, affect competition for loans and deposits. BOE
emphasizes customer service, establishing long-term
relationships with its customers, thereby creating customer
loyalty, and providing adequate product lines for individuals
and
small-to-medium
size business customers.
107
BOE would not be materially or adversely impacted by the loss of
a single customer. BOE is not dependent upon a single or a few
customers.
Credit
Policies
BOE follows written policies and procedures to enhance
management of credit risk. The loan portfolio is managed under a
specifically defined credit process. This process includes
formulation of portfolio management strategy, guidelines for
underwriting standards and risk assessment, procedures for
ongoing identification and management of credit deterioration,
and regular portfolio reviews to estimate loss exposure and
ascertain compliance with BOEs policies. Lending authority
is granted to individual lending officers with the current
highest limit being $500,000 if secured by conforming real
estate. A Loan Committee compromised of five loan officers can
approve credits of up to $500,000. Approval of such credits
requires a majority vote of the Loan Committee. The Executive
Committee of the board of directors, meeting monthly, can
approve loans up to Bank of Essexs legal lending limit.
The board of directors meets monthly as well and it too may
approve loans up to Bank of Essexs legal lending limit.
BOEs management generally requires that secured loans have
a
loan-to-value
ratio of 85% or less. Management believes that when a borrower
has significant equity in the assets securing the loan, the
borrower is less likely to default on the outstanding loan
balance.
A major element of credit risk management is diversification.
BOEs objective is to maintain a diverse loan portfolio to
minimize the impact of any single event or set of circumstances.
Concentration parameters are based on factors of individual
risk, policy constraints, economic conditions, collateral and
product type.
Lending activities include a variety of consumer, real estate
and commercial loans with a strong emphasis on serving the needs
of customers within BOEs market territory. Consumer loans
are made primarily on a secured basis in the form of installment
obligations or personal lines of credit. The focus of real
estate lending is single family residential mortgages, but also
includes home improvement loans, construction lending and home
equity lines of credit. Commercial lending is provided to
businesses seeking credit for working capital, the purchase of
equipment and facilities and commercial development.
Properties
The principal office of BOE and Bank of Essex is located at 1325
Tappahannock Boulevard, Tappahannock, Virginia 22560. Bank of
Essex operated a branch in the Tappahannock Towne Center in
Tappahannock from
1981-2006.
In November 1988, Bank of Essex opened the King William office
at Central Garage in King William County. The fourth facility,
the East Hanover office, opened in August 1992, on Route 360
east of Mechanicsville in Hanover County. In February 1996, Bank
of Essex opened its fifth office in West Point, Virginia in King
William County. In June 1999, Bank of Essex opened its sixth
office in Henrico County near Virginia Center Commons. This
office houses other lines of business such as the commercial
loan department and fixed rate mortgages. In June 1990, Bank of
Essex purchased land in Tappahannock, Virginia. An additional
adjoining parcel was purchased in 2004 and the Virginia State
Corporation Commission Bureau of Financial Institutions approved
the building of a new facility that houses executive offices of
BOE as well as a branch office. When this new facility opened
the Tappahannock Towne Center Office was closed and sold. The
new facility was opened on June 12, 2006. Simultaneous to
the opening of the new Main Office the Prince Street Office was
redesignated from the Main Office to a branch. In November 2007,
Bank of Essex opened its seventh office on Route 360 in Burgess,
Virginia which is the lower end of Northumberland County. In
January 2008, Bank of Essex opened its eighth office in Callao,
Virginia, also located on Route 360 in the upper end of
Northumberland County. Bank of Essex is currently operating in
temporary facilities but has purchased sites in both locations
and expects to be in permanent full-service facilities sometime
in 2008. In October 2002 Bank of Essex purchased a small parcel
of land adjoining the King William Office.
BOE or Bank of Essex owns all of its properties.
108
Legal
Proceedings
In the course of its operations, BOE is party to various legal
proceedings. Based upon information currently available, and
after consultation with its general counsel, management believes
that such legal proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a
material adverse effect on BOEs business, financial
position or results of operations.
BOE
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2007
General
BOEs financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(GAAP). The financial information contained within BOEs
statements is, to a significant extent, financial information
that is based on measures of the financial effects of
transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of
factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either
when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset
or relieving a liability. BOE uses historical loss factors as
one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present
in its loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly
from the historical factors that BOE uses. In addition, GAAP
itself may change from one previously acceptable method to
another method. Although the economics of BOEs
transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would
impact its transactions could change.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Allowance for Loan Losses. The
allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may
be sustained in BOEs loan portfolio. The allowance is
based on two basic principles of accounting:
(i) SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which
requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of
occurring and estimatable and (ii) SFAS 114,
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which
requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between
the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or
values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan
balance. The use of these values is inherently subjective and
BOEs actual losses could be greater or less than the
estimates.
The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income
and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries).
Managements periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance is based on past loan loss experience, known and
inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may
affect the borrowers ability to repay, the estimated value
of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions.
The following discussion is intended to assist readers in
understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results
of operations of BOE and Bank of Essex. This section should be
read in conjunction with BOEs consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this
report.
Overview
On September 30, 2007 BOE had total assets of
$294.767 million, an increase of $13.389 million, or
4.76% from $281.378 million at December 31, 2006.
Total assets at September 30, 2006 were
$278.088 million. The September 30, 2007 total assets
figure represents an increase of 6.00%, or $16.679 million
over one year ago. Total loans amounted to $216.172 million
on September 30, 2007, an increase of $19.281 million,
or 9.79%, over December 31, 2006 total loans of
$196.891 million. The September 30, 2007 figure
represents an increase of $26.452 million, or 13.94% over
total loans of $189.720 million on September 30, 2006.
BOEs
available-for-sale
securities portfolio decreased $6.581 million, or 11.76%,
from $55.963 million at December 31, 2006 to
$49.382 million at September 30, 2007.
Total
available-for-sale
securities were $53.937 million on September 30, 2006.
BOE had federal funds sold of $966,000 on September 30,
2007, federal funds purchased of $3.207 million on
December 31, 2006 and federal funds sold of
$6.016 million on September 30, 2006.
BOE is required to account for the effect of market changes in
the value of securities
available-for-sale
under SFAS 115. The market value of the September 30,
2007 securities
available-for-sale
portfolio was $49.382 million
109
compared to a book value $49.548 million. At
December 31, 2006 market value of the
available-for-sale
portfolio was $55.963 compared to a book value of
$56.018 million. On September 30, 2006 the market
value of the
available-for-sale
portfolio was $53.937 million with an associated book value
of $54.118 million. The impact of the change in market
value of
available-for-sale
securities, net of deferred income taxes, is reflected in the
Statement of Changes in Stockholders Equity under
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Total deposits at September 30, 2007 were
$240.990 million. This $10.125 million increase is
4.39% greater than total deposits of $230.865 million at
December 31, 2006 and $8.899 million, or 3.83% greater
than total deposits of $232.091 million at
September 30, 2006.
Stockholders equity at September 30, 2007 was
$29.348 million and represented 9.96% of total assets.
Stockholders equity was $28.047 million, or 9.97% of
total assets at December 31, 2006 and $28.101 million,
or 10.11% of total assets at September 30, 2006.
Results
of Operations
Net Income. Net income was $640,000 for
the third quarter of 2007, or $0.53 per diluted share. This
compares to net income of $706,000, or $0.58 per diluted share
in the third quarter of 2006. The decrease in earnings in the
third quarter of 2007 compared to 2006 was $66,000, or 9.35%.
The decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to a
$284,000, or 14.57%, increase in noninterest expenses for the
third quarter of 2007. Noninterest expenses were
$2.233 million for the third quarter of 2007 compared to
$1.949 million for the same period in 2006. Salaries were
the largest component of this increase, up $140,000, or 16.93%,
for the third quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in
2006. This increase in salaries was largely composed of adding
additional banking staff to operate two new branches in
Northumberland County, Virginia, both of which BOE anticipates
opening in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Offsetting this decrease to net income for the quarter ended
September 30, 2007 were an increase of $138,000, or 5.63%,
to net interest income after provision for loan losses, an
increase of $9,000 to total noninterest income and a decrease of
$71,000, or 30.21%, to income tax expense.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net income
was $2.012 million, down 8.96%, or $198,000, from net
income of $2.210 million for the same period in 2006. This
represents a decrease in earnings per share, on a diluted basis
of $0.17, or 9.29%, from $1.83 to $1.66. Noninterest expenses
increased 12.21%, or $694,000, primarily due to a full year of
expenses associated with BOEs new headquarters and branch
banking facility that opened mid-year 2006 and from additional
staffing and operating expense mentioned above in relation to
entering new banking markets. Total noninterest expenses were
$6.378 million through nine months of 2007 compared to
$5.684 million for the same period in 2006.
Offsetting this decrease to net income was an increase of
$28,000 to net interest income, an increase of $134,000 to total
noninterest income, a decrease of $125,000 to provision for loan
losses and a reduction of income tax expense of $209,000 for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2007.
Net Interest Income. BOEs results
of operations are significantly affected by its ability to
manage effectively the interest rate sensitivity and maturity of
its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. At
September 30, 2007, BOEs interest-earning assets
exceeded its interest-bearing liabilities by approximately
$35.463 million, compared with a $33.452 million
excess one year ago. Net interest margins on a fully tax
equivalent basis were 3.96% through September 30, 2007
compared to 4.24% through September 30, 2006. The decrease
in net interest margin was the result of an increase of
30 basis points in yield on total earning assets coupled
with an increase of 59 basis points in the cost of total
sources of funds. BOEs yield on average earning assets, on
a fully tax equivalent and annualized basis, was 7.10% for the
first nine months of 2007 compared to 6.80% for the first nine
months of 2006. Total cost of funds was 3.15% for the first nine
months of 2007 compared to 2.56% for the same period in 2006.
BOEs
loan-to-deposit
ratio was 87.53%, on average, through the first nine months of
2007 compared to 84.10% for the same period in 2006. On
September 30, 2007, BOEs
loan-to-deposit
ratio was 89.70% compared to 85.28% on December 31, 2006
and 81.74% on September 30, 2006.
110
Provision for Loan Losses. BOEs
provision for loan losses was $0 for the third quarter of 2007
and also in the third quarter of 2006. During the third quarter
of 2007 BOE realized a recovery of $400,000 of a loan
charged-off in 2002. This has bolstered BOEs allowance for
loan losses. Allowance for loan losses was $2.672 million
on September 30, 2007 compared to $2.400 million on
December 31, 2006 and $2.366 million on
September 30, 2006. This was 1.24%, 1.22% and 1.25% of
total loans for September 30, 2007, December 31, 2006
and September 30, 2006, respectively.
For the third quarter of 2007 BOE had net recoveries of $309,000
represented by charged-off loans of $97,000 and recoveries of
$406,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 BOE
had net recoveries of $268,000 represented by charged-off loans
of $150,000 and recoveries of $418,000. This compares to net
charged-off loans of $16,000 for the third quarter of 2006 and
net charged-off loans of $8,000 for the first nine months of
2006.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income
was $446,000 in the third quarter of 2007 compared to $437,000
in the same period of 2006. This represents an increase of
2.06%, or $9,000. Service charges on deposit accounts were
$284,000 in the third quarter of 2007 and $258,000 in the third
quarter of 2006. This is an increase of 1.01%, or $26,000.
Securities losses were $39,000 in the third quarter of 2007 and
$0 for the same period in 2006. Other noninterest income
increased 9.58% or $16,000, from $167,000 in the third quarter
of 2006 to $183,000 in the third quarter of 2007.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007
noninterest income of $1,423,000 was an increase of $134,000, or
10.40%, from noninterest income of $1,289,000 for the first nine
months of 2006. Service charges on deposit accounts were
$797,000 for the period compared to $779,000 in 2006. This is an
increase of 2.31%, or $18,000. Other income increased $153,000,
or 30.97% and was $647,000 for the first nine months of 2007
compared to $494,000 for the same period in 2006.
Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest
expenses were $2.233 million and increased $284,000, or
14.57%, in the third quarter of 2007 compared to 2006. Salaries
increased, $140,000, from $827,000 in the third quarter of 2006
to $967,000 in the third quarter of 2007. Other operating
expenses increased $80,000, or 23.23%, in the third quarter of
2007 and were $426,000 compared to $346,000 for the same period
in 2006. Employee benefits and postage expenses each increased
$19,000 and data processing expenses as well as stationery and
printing expenses increased $16,000 each for the third quarter
of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007
noninterest expenses were $6.378 million, a $694,000, or
12.21%, increase over noninterest expenses of
$5.684 million for the first nine months of 2006. Salaries
increased $309,000, or 12.83%, and were $2.717 million for
the first nine months of 2007 compared to $2.408 million
for the same period in 2006. Other operating expenses increased
$161,000, or 15.22%, and were $1.219 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 compared to
$1.058 million for the same period in 2006. Additional
noninterest expense increases for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 were
an $87,000 increase in employee benefits and costs, a $64,000
increase in occupancy expenses, an increase of $38,000 increase
in data processing expenses a $15,000 increase in stationery and
printing costs, a $10,000 increase in furniture and equipment
related expenses and a $5,000 increase in both postage expenses
and Bank of Essex franchise tax expense.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense was
$164,000 in the third quarter of 2007. This represents a
decrease of $71,000 compared to $235,000 of income tax expense
in the third quarter of 2006. Income tax expense for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2007 was $463,000 compared
to $672,000 for the same period in 2006. This represents a
decrease of $209,000 and is primarily the result of a lower
effective tax rate due to the addition of $5.500 million in
Bank Owned Life Insurance and tax exempt municipal income.
Asset Quality. BOEs allowance for
loan losses totaled $2.672 million on September 30,
2007, or 1.24% of total loans. On December 31, 2006, the
allowance for loan losses totaled $2.400 million and was
1.22% of total loans. On September 30, 2006, the allowance
for credit losses was $2.366 million and was 1.25% of total
loans.
On September 30, 2007, BOE had nonaccruing assets of
$206,000 compared to $34,000 on September 30, 2006. Loans
past due and still accruing interest totaled $13,000 on
September 30, 2007 compared to $78,000 on
September 30, 2006.
111
Capital Requirements. The determination
of capital adequacy depends upon a number of factors, such as
asset quality, liquidity, earnings, growth trends and economic
conditions. BOE seeks to maintain a strong capital base to
support its growth and expansion plans, provide stability to
current operations and promote public confidence in BOE.
The federal banking regulators have defined three tests for
assessing the capital strength and adequacy of banks, based on
two definitions of capital. Tier 1 Capital is
defined as a combination of common and qualifying preferred
stockholders equity less goodwill. Tier 2
Capital is defined as qualifying subordinated debt and a
portion of the allowance for loan losses. Total
Capital is defined as Tier 1 Capital plus Tier 2
Capital.
Three risk-based capital ratios are computed using the above
capital definitions, total assets and risk-weighted assets and
are measured against regulatory minimums to ascertain adequacy.
All assets and off-balance sheet risk items are grouped into
categories according to degree of risk and assigned a
risk-weighting and the resulting total is risk-weighted assets.
Tier 1 Risk-based Capital is Tier 1
Capital divided by risk-weighted assets. Total Risk-based
Capital is Total Capital divided by risk-weighted assets.
The Leverage ratio is Tier 1 Capital divided by total
average assets.
BOEs ratio of Total Capital to risk-weighted assets was
15.92% on September 30, 2007 compared to 14.45% on
September 30, 2006. Its ratio of Tier 1 Capital to
risk-weighted assets was 14.85% on September 30, 2007 and
13.49% on September 30, 2006. BOEs leverage ratio
(Tier I Capital to average adjusted total assets) was
11.64% on September 30, 2007 and 10.21% on
September 30, 2006. These ratios exceed regulatory
minimums. BOE issued trust preferred subordinated debt that
qualifies as regulatory capital in the fourth quarter of 2003.
This trust preferred debt has a
30-year
maturity with a
5-year call
option and was issued at a rate of three month LIBOR plus 3.00%
and was priced at 8.36% in the third quarter of 2007.
Liquidity
Liquidity represents BOEs ability to meet present and
future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity
of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds
through liability management. Liquid assets include cash,
interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, and
certain investment securities. As a result of BOEs
management of liquid assets and the ability to generate
liquidity through liability funding, management believes that
BOE maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its
depositors requirements and meet its customers
credit needs.
Financial
Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Credit Risk and
Contractual Obligations
Bank of Essex is a party to financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet
the financing needs of its clients and to reduce its own
exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial
instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of
the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or
notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of
involvement Bank of Essex has in particular classes of financial
instruments.
Bank of Essexs exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument
for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit
is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.
Bank of Essex uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does
not require any new fair value measurements but may change
current practice for some entities. SFAS 157 is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 and interim periods
112
within those years. BOE does not expect the implementation of
SFAS 157 to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
(SFAS 159). This statement permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at
fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to improve
financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity
to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring
related assets and liabilities differently without having to
apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option
established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to
measure eligible items at fair value at specified election
dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and
losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected
in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value
option may be applied instrument by instrument and is
irrevocable. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of
an entitys first fiscal year that begins after
November 15, 2007. BOE is in the process of evaluating the
impact SFAS 159 may have on its consolidated financial
statements.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in
the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in
interest rates, exchange rates and equity prices. BOEs
market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk.
BOEs ALCO is responsible for reviewing the interest rate
sensitivity position and establishing policies to monitor and
limit exposure to this risk. The board of directors reviews and
approves the guidelines established by ALCO.
Earnings Simulation Analysis. Interest
rate risk is monitored through the use of two complimentary
modeling tools: earnings simulation modeling and economic value
simulation (net present value estimation). Each of these models
measure changes in a variety of interest rate scenarios. While
each of the interest rate risk measures has limitations, taken
together they represent a reasonably comprehensive view of the
magnitude of interest rate risk in BOE, the distribution of risk
along the yield curve, the level of risk through time, and the
amount of exposure to changes in certain interest rate
relationships. Earnings simulation and economic value models,
which more effectively measure the cash flow and optionality
impacts, are utilized by management on a regular basis and are
explained below.
Management uses simulation analysis to measure the sensitivity
of net interest income to changes in interest rates. The model
calculates an earnings estimate based on current and projected
balances and rates. This method is subject to the accuracy of
the assumptions that management has input, but it provides a
better analysis of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in
interest rates than other potential analyses.
Assumptions used in the model are derived from historical trends
and managements outlook and include loan and deposit
growth rates and projected yields and rates. Such assumptions
are monitored and periodically adjusted as appropriate. All
maturities, calls and prepayments in the securities portfolio
are assumed to be reinvested in like instruments. Mortgage loans
and mortgage backed securities prepayment assumptions are based
on industry estimates of prepayment speeds for portfolios with
similar coupon ranges and seasoning. Different interest rate
scenarios and yield curves are used to measure the sensitivity
of earnings to changing interest rates. Interest rates on
different asset and liability accounts move differently when the
prime rate changes and are reflected in the different rate
scenarios.
BOE uses its simulation model to estimate earnings in rate
environments where rates ramp up or down around a most
likely rate scenario, based on implied forward rates. The
analysis assesses the impact on net interest income over a
12 month time horizon by applying
12-month
shock versus the implied forward rates of 200 basis points
up
113
and down. The following table represents the interest rate
sensitivity on net interest income for BOE across the rate paths
modeled as of September 30, 2007:

Economic Value Simulation. Economic
value simulation is used to determine the estimated fair value
of assets and liabilities over different interest rate
scenarios. Economic values are calculated based on discounted
cash flow analysis. The net economic value of equity is the
economic value of all assets minus the economic value of all
liabilities. The change in net economic value over different
rate scenarios is an indication of the longer term earnings
sensitivity capability of the balance sheet. The same
assumptions are used in the economic value simulation as in the
earnings simulation. The economic value simulation uses
simultaneous rate shocks to the balance sheet, whereas the
earnings simulation uses rate shock over 12 months. The
following chart reflects the estimated change in net economic
value over different rate environments using economic value
simulation as of September 30, 2007:

BOE
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31,
2006 and December 31, 2005
The following discussion is intended to assist the readers in
understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results
of operation of BOE. This review should be read in conjunction
with BOEs consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
This analysis provides an overview of the significant changes
that occurred during the periods presented.
Critical
Accounting Policies
General. BOEs financial
statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The financial
information contained within our statements is, to a significant
extent, based on measures of the financial effects of
transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of
factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either
when earning income, recognizing expense, recovering an asset or
relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one
factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in
our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly
from the historical factors that BOE uses. In addition, GAAP
itself may change from one previously acceptable method to
another method. Although the economics of our transactions would
be the same, the timing of events that would impact BOEs
transactions could change.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The
allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may
be sustained in BOEs loan portfolio. The allowance is
based on two basic principles of accounting:
(i) SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which
requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of
occurring and estimatable and (ii) SFAS 114,
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires
that losses be accrued based on the differences between the
value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or
values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan
balance. The use of these values is inherently subjective and
our actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates.
The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income
and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries).
Managements periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance is based on past loan loss
114
experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse
situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay,
the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current
economic conditions.
Overview
BOEs strategic plan is directed toward the enhancement of
its franchise value and operating profitability by increasing
its asset size and expanding its customer base. BOE operates
eight full service offices mainly along the U.S. 360
corridor from Burgess, Virginia to the Richmond, Virginia
metropolitan market, a span of about 75 miles. Management
believes that its most significant profitable growth
opportunities will continue to be within one hour of
Tappahannock. (See Information About BOE
Business General for further explanation on
BOEs strategic plan.)
Year 2006 Compared to Year 2005. On
December 31, 2006, BOE had total assets of
$281.378 million, total loans of $196.891 million,
total deposits of $230.865 million and total
stockholders equity of $28.047 million. BOE had net
income of $3.123 million in 2006, a $22,000, or 0.7%
increase from $3.101 million in net income in 2005. This
resulted in a return on average equity of 11.47% in 2006
compared to 12.18% in 2005. Return on average assets in 2006 was
1.15%, compared to 1.24% in 2005. BOEs total loans
increased 7.9%, or $14.435 million, in 2006 over 2005.
Total loans were $196.891 million at December 31, 2006
compared to $182.456 million at December 31, 2005.
Loan increases came from loans secured by real estate, including
loans secured by 1 4 family properties and
commercial lending. This is due to continued growth in and
around the corridor surrounding Richmond, Virginia, including
the area in and around Essex County. At December 31, 2006,
the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.62%
compared to 0.72% at December 31, 2005. Net recoveries to
average loans were 0.01% in 2006 compared to net charge offs of
0.05% in 2005. Loans past due 90 days or more and still
accruing interest at December 31, 2006 were $102,000 and
$260,000 at December 31, 2005. BOEs allowance for
loan losses to period end loans at December 31, 2006 was
1.22% compared to 1.23% at December 31, 2005.
Year 2005 Compared to Year 2004. On
December 31, 2005, BOE had total assets of
$261.931 million, total loans of $182.456 million,
total deposits of $223.132 million and total
stockholders equity of $26.235 million. BOE had net
income of $3.101 million in 2005, a $215,000, or 7.5%
increase from $2.885 million in net income in 2004. This
resulted in a return on average equity of 12.18% in 2005
compared to 12.12% in 2004. Return on average assets in 2005 was
1.24%, compared to 1.23% in 2004. BOEs total loans
increased 14.3%, or $22.896 million, in 2005 over 2004.
Total loans were $182.456 million at December 31, 2005
compared to $159.560 million at December 31, 2004.
Loan increases came from loans secured by real estate, including
loans secured by 1 4 family properties, commercial
real estate and construction lending. At December 31, 2005,
the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.72%
compared to 1.29% at December 31, 2004. Net charge offs to
average loans were 0.05% in 2005 compared to 0.21% in 2004.
Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest
at December 31, 2005 were $260,000 and $100,000 at
December 31, 2004. BOEs allowance for loan losses to
period end loans at December 31, 2005 was 1.23% compared to
1.31% at December 31, 2004.
Results
of Operations
Net
Income
Year 2006 Compared to Year 2005. BOE had net
income of $3.123 million in 2006 compared to
$3.101 million in 2005. This represented an increase of
0.7%, or $22,000. Diluted earnings per share in 2006 were $2.58,
compared to diluted earnings per share in 2005 of $2.58. These
earnings per share are based on average shares outstanding of
1,210,922 in 2006 and 1,203,725 in 2005. The increase in net
income included a $490,000 increase in total profits (losses) on
other properties resulting from a $485,000 gain on the sale of a
bank building. Also improving net income was $160,000 in
increases in other categories of noninterest income and a
$115,000 reduction in provision for loan losses. Offsetting
these increases in net income for 2006 compared to 2005 was a
decrease of $112,000, or 1.1%, in net interest income.
Comprising net interest income was a $2.391 million, or
16.7%, increase in interest income which was offset by an
increase of $2.503 million, or 56.0%, in interest expenses
caused by fierce competition among banks for funding and an
inverted yield curve throughout much of 2006. Also affecting net
income was an increase of $631,000, or 8.7%, in noninterest
expenses, $93,000 of which was related to the opening of a new
headquarters during 2006.
115
Year 2005 Compared to Year 2004. BOE had net
income of $3.101 million in 2005 compared to
$2.885 million in 2004. This represented an increase of
7.5%, or $215,000. Diluted earnings per share in 2005 were
$2.58, compared to diluted earnings per share in 2004 of $2.42.
These earnings per share are based on average shares outstanding
of 1,203,725 in 2005 and 1,194,511 in 2004.
BOEs profitability increased in 2005 in comparison to 2004
due to an increase of $605,000, or 6.5%, in net interest income.
Net interest income increased from $9.269 million in 2004
to $9.874 million in 2005.
Additionally, provision for loan losses decreased by $65,000, or
21.2%, in 2005 compared to 2004. Provision for loan losses was
$240,000 in 2005 compared to $305,000 in 2004. Provision for
loan losses decreased in 2005 compared to 2004 due to a
reduction in net charged-off loans. Net charged-off loans were
$80,000 in 2005 compared to $345,000 in 2004. This combination
resulted in a net interest income after provision for loan
losses increase of $670,000, or 7.5%.
Offsetting these increases in net income was a $380,000, or 5.5%
increase for 2005 compared to 2004 in noninterest expenses.
Noninterest expenses were $7.262 million in 2005 and
$6.882 million in 2004. Also offsetting net income
increases was an increase of $49,000, or 5.9%, in income tax
expenses. Income tax expense totaled $872,000 in 2005 and
$823,000 in 2004. Noninterest income decreased $26,000, or 1.6%,
and was $1.601 million in 2005 compared to
$1.627 million in 2004.
Net
Interest Income
Year 2006 Compared to Year 2005. Net interest
income is the major component of BOEs earnings and is
equal to the amount by which interest income exceeds interest
expense. BOEs earning assets are composed primarily of
loans and securities, while deposits and short-term borrowings
represent the major portion of interest-bearing liabilities.
Changes in the volume and mix of these assets and liabilities,
as well as changes in the yields earned and rates paid,
determine changes in net interest income.
Net interest income, on a fully tax equivalent basis, was
$10.514 million in 2006, $53,000 less than the
$10.567 million reported for 2005. BOEs level of
earning assets increased $16.169 million, or 7.0%, on

down from $60.050 million, on average, in 2005. The tax
equivalent yield on investment securities, including equity
securities and federal funds sold was 5.45% in 2006 compared to
5.15% in 2005. On a fully taxable equivalent basis, income on
investment securities and federal funds sold income increased
3.6%, or $111,000, from $3.092 million in 2005 to
$3.203 million in 2006. This earning asset rate and volume
activity resulted in a yield on earning assets of 7.03% in 2006
based on $17.485 million in fully taxable equivalent income
compared to 6.47% in 2005 based on $15.036 million in fully
taxable equivalent income. This is a $2.449 million

3.25% in 2006.
The increase in yield on earning assets of 56 basis points
coupled with the increased cost of interest-bearing liabilities
of 95 basis points resulted in a net interest margin for
BOE of 4.23% in 2006 compared to a net interest margin of 4.55%
in 2005. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing
BOEs net interest income on a tax equivalent basis by the
average earning assets. Volume increases in loans, coupled with
higher rate and volume increases on interest-bearing liabilities
resulted in a decrease in the interest spread. BOEs net
interest spread decreased 39 basis points from 4.17% in
2005 to 3.78% in 2006. Spread is calculated by subtracting the
cost of interest-bearing liabilities from the yield on earning
assets.

income, on a fully tax equivalent basis, was
$10.567 million in 2005, 6.7% higher than the

from $10.664 million in 2004. This represents an increase
of 12.0%. Investment securities and federal funds sold

investment securities and federal funds sold income increased
8.7%, or $248,000, from $2.844 million in 2004 to
$3.092 million in 2005. This earning asset rate and volume
activity resulted in a yield on earning assets of 6.47% in 2005
based on $15.036 million in fully taxable equivalent income
compared to 6.19% in 2004 based on $13.508 million in fully

increase of 18.0%.
The increase in yield on earning assets of 28 basis points
coupled with the increased cost of interest-bearing liabilities
of 35 basis points resulted in a net interest margin for
BOE of 4.55% in 2005 compared to a net interest margin of 4.54%
in 2004. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing
BOEs net interest income on a tax equivalent basis by the
average earning assets. Volume increases in loans and in
securities, coupled with lower rate and volume increases in
interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a decrease in the
interest spread. BOEs net interest spread decreased
8 basis points from 4.25% in 2004 to 4.17% in 2005. Spread
is calculated by subtracting the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities from the yield on earning assets.
BOEs net interest margin is affected by changes in the
amount and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, referred to as a volume change. It is
also affected by changes in yields earned on earning assets and
rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed
funds, referred to as a rate change. The following
table sets forth for each category of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, the average amounts outstanding,
the interest earned or incurred on such amounts and the average
rate earned or incurred for the years ended December 31,
2006, 2005 and 2004. The table also sets forth the average rate
earned on total earning assets, the average rate paid on total
interest-bearing liabilities, and the net interest margin on
average total earning assets for the same periods.

Income and yields are reported on a tax-equivalent basis
assuming a federal tax rate of 34%. |
118
Net interest income is affected by both (1) changes in the
interest rate spread (the difference between the weighted
average yield on interest earning assets and the weighted
average cost of interest-bearing liabilities) and
(2) changes in volume (average balances of interest earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities).
For each category of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided regarding
changes attributable to (1) changes in volume of balances
outstanding (changes in volume multiplied by prior period
interest rate) (2) changes in the interest earned or paid
on the balances (changes in rate multiplied by prior period
volume) and (3) a combination of changes in volume and rate
allocated pro rata.

Interest
Rate Sensitivity
An important component of both earnings performance and
liquidity is management of interest rate sensitivity. Interest
rate sensitivity reflects the potential effect on net interest
income of a movement in market interest rates. BOE is subject to
interest rate sensitivity to the degree that its interest
earning assets mature or reprice at a different time interval
from that of its interest-bearing liabilities.

Provision
For Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is charged to income to bring the
total allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by
management of BOE based on such factors as historical
experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by BOE, the
amount of non-performing assets, regulatory policies, generally
accepted accounting principles, general economic conditions, and
other factors related to the collectibility of loans in
BOEs portfolio.
The provision for loan losses was $125,000 in 2006, a decrease
of $115,000, or 48.0%, compared to the $240,000 in provision for
2005. The provision for loan losses reflects a decrease in net
charged-off loans in 2006. Charged-off loans were in a net
recovery position in 2006 of $26,000 after charging off $138,000
and recovering a total of $164,000. This compares to $80,000 in
net charge-offs in 2005 after charging off $159,000 in loans and
recognizing $79,000 in recoveries.
Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to
absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In view of
BOEs plans to continue its loan growth, management will
continue to closely monitor the performance of its portfolio and
make additional provisions as necessary.
Non-Interest
Income
Non-interest income in 2006 was $2.250 million, an increase
of 40.6%, or $650,000, from non-interest income of

premises and equipment was the largest component of this
increase, $490,000. Of this amount, $485,000 was the result of
the sale of a former branch banking facility. Net gains (losses)
on sale of premises and equipment was a loss of $23,000 in 2005
compared to a gain of $467,000 in 2006. Other income increased
$114,000, or 19.6%, and was $693,000 in 2006 compared to

Employee benefits were up $152,000, or 15.5%, higher than
employee benefits in 2005 of $982,000. This increase was due to
continued increases in health industry costs provided to

employees from 88 in 2004 to 93 in 2005. Employee benefits were
$982,000, up $178,000, or 22.1% higher than employee benefits in
2004 of $804,000. This increase was due to the increase in
full-time equivalent employees described above and continued
increases in health industry costs provided to employees. Data
processing expense of $530,000 in 2005 was 12.4%, or $59,000,
higher than data processing expense of $471,000 in 2004. Other

Analysis
of Financial Condition
Loan
Portfolio
The loan portfolio is the largest category of BOEs earning
assets and is comprised of commercial loans, agricultural loans,
real estate loans, home equity loans, construction loans,
consumer loans, and participation loans with other financial
institutions. The primary markets in which BOE makes loans
include the counties of Essex, King and Queen, King William,
Hanover, Henrico, Northumberland and the City of Richmond. The
mix of the loan portfolio is weighted toward loans secured by
real estate and commercial loans.
Net loans consist of total loans minus the allowance for loan
losses, unearned discounts and deferred loan fees. BOEs
net loans were $194.491 million at December 31, 2006,
representing an increase of 7.9%, or $14.284 million more
than net loans of $180.207 million at December 31,
2005. The average balance of loans as a percentage of average
earning assets was 76.4% in 2006, up slightly from 74.2% in 2005.
In the normal course of business, BOE makes various commitments
and incurs certain contingent liabilities, which are disclosed
but not reflected in the consolidated financial statements
contained in this Annual Report, including standby letters of
credit and commitments to extend credit. At December 31,
2006, commitments for
121
standby letters of credit totaled $4.971 million and
commitments to extend credit totaled $45.251 million.
Commitments for standby letters of credit totaled
$4.602 million at December 31, 2005 and commitments to
extend credit totaled $40.381 million.

Asset
Quality
Generally, interest on loans is accrued and credited to income
based upon the principal balance outstanding. It is typically
BOEs policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income
and classify a loan on non-accrual when principal or interest is
past due 90 days or more and the loan is not well-secured
and in the process of collection, or when, in the opinion of
management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid in
accordance with the terms of the obligation.
BOE will generally charge-off loans after 120 days of
delinquency unless they are adequately collateralized, in the
process of collection and, based on a probable specific event,
management believes that the loan will be repaid or brought
current within a reasonable period of time. Loans will not be
returned to accrual status until future payments of principal
and interest appear certain. Interest accrued and unpaid at the
time a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged against
interest income. Subsequent payments received are applied to the
outstanding principal balance.
122
Real estate acquired by BOE as a result of foreclosure or
in-substance foreclosure is classified as other real estate
owned (OREO). Such real estate is recorded at the
lower of cost or fair market value less estimated selling costs,
and the estimated loss, if any, is charged to the allowance for
loan losses at that time. Further allowances for losses are
recorded as charges to other expenses at the time management
believes additional deterioration in value has occurred. BOE had
no OREO at December 31, 2006 or 2005.
BOEs credit policies generally require a loan-to-value
ratio of 85% for secured loans. At December 31, 2006, loans
past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest
totaled $102,000, of which $7,000 was secured by real estate and
the remainder was secured and unsecured commercial and
installment loans. As of December 31, 2005, loans past due
90 days or more and still accruing totaled $260,000.
Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2006 were $0 and at
December 31, 2005 non-accrual loans were $174,000.

Allowance
for Loan Losses
In originating loans, BOE recognizes that credit losses will be
experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among other
things, general economic conditions, the type of loan being
made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the
loan and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of
the collateral for such loan. BOE maintains an allowance for
loan losses based upon, among other things, historical
experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by BOE, the
amount of non-performing assets, regulatory policies, generally
accepted accounting principles, general economic conditions, and
other factors related to the collectibility of loans in
BOEs portfolios. In addition to general allowances,
specific allowances are provided for individual loans when
ultimate collection is considered questionable by management
after reviewing the current status of loans, which are
contractually past due and after considering the net realizable
value of any collateral for the loan.
Management actively monitors BOEs asset quality in a
continuing effort to charge-off loans against the allowance for
loan losses when appropriate and to provide specific loss
allowances when necessary. Although management believes it uses
the best information available to make determinations with
respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments may
be necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions
used in making the initial determinations. As of
December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses amounted
to $2.400 million, or 1.22% of total loans. BOEs
allowance for loan losses was $2.249 million at
December 31, 2005, or 1.23% of total loans.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing
assets was 136.67% at December 31, 2006. The ratio of
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing
assets at December 31, 2005 was 118.93%.

Investment
Activities
Securities available-for-sale are used as part of BOEs
interest rate risk management strategy and may be sold in
response to interest rate, changes in prepayment risk, liquidity
needs, the need to increase regulatory capital and other
factors. The fair value of BOEs securities
available-for-sale totaled $55.963 million at
December 31, 2006, compared to $52.393 million at
December 31, 2005.
BOE is required to account for the effect of market changes in
the value of securities available-for-sale (AFS) under Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard #115 (SFAS 115). The
market value of the December 31, 2006 securities

Short-Term
Borrowings
BOE occasionally finds it necessary to purchase funds on a
short-term basis due to fluctuations in loan and deposit levels.
BOE has several arrangements under which it may purchase funds.
Federal Funds guidance facilities are maintained with
correspondent banks totaling $16.500 million for the year
ending December 31, 2006. $3.207 million was drawn on
these facilities at December 31, 2005. As another means of
borrowing funds, BOE may borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank
of Atlanta. Total expense on Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
borrowings in 2006 was $476,000 and in 2005 was $119,000. Total
expense on Federal Funds purchased and other borrowings was
$102,000 in 2006 and $101,000 in 2005.
Capital
Requirements
The determination of capital adequacy depends upon a number of
factors, such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings, growth
trends and economic conditions. BOE seeks to maintain a strong
capital base to support its growth and expansion plans, provide
stability to current operations and promote public confidence in
BOE.
BOEs capital position exceeds all regulatory minimums. The
federal banking regulators have defined three tests for
assessing the capital strength and adequacy of banks, based on
two definitions of capital. Tier 1 Capital is
defined as a combination of common and qualifying preferred
stockholders equity less goodwill. Tier 2
Capital is defined as qualifying subordinated debt and a
portion of the allowance for loan losses. Total
Capital is defined as Tier 1 Capital plus Tier 2
Capital. Three risk-based capital ratios are computed using the
above capital definitions, total assets and risk-weighted assets
and are measured against regulatory minimums to ascertain
adequacy. All assets and off-balance sheet risk items are
grouped into categories according to degree of risk and assigned
a risk-weighting and the resulting total is risk-weighted
assets. Total Risk-based Capital is Total Capital
divided by risk-weighted assets. The Leverage ratio is
Tier 1 Capital divided by total average assets.
During the fourth quarter of 2003 BOE engaged in a trust
preferred offering, raising $4.124 million in trust
preferred subordinated debt which qualifies as capital for
regulatory purposes. This trust preferred debt has a
30-year
maturity with a
5-year call
option and was issued at a rate of three month LIBOR plus 3.00%
for a weighted average rate of 8.10% during 2006.

Liquidity
Liquidity represents BOEs ability to meet present and
future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity
of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds
through liability management. Liquid assets include cash,
interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, and
certain investment securities. As a result of BOEs
management of liquid assets and the ability to generate
liquidity through liability funding, management believes that
BOE maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its
depositors requirements and meet its customers
credit needs.
As of December 31, 2006, cash, federal funds sold and
available-for-sale securities represented 25.90% of deposits and
other liabilities compared to 26.37% at December 31, 2005.
Managing loan maturities also provides asset liquidity. At
December 31, 2006 approximately $95.834 in loans would
mature or reprice with a one-year period.
The following table summarizes BOEs liquid assets for the
periods indicated:

Financial
Ratios
Financial ratios give investors a way to compare BOEs
within industries to analyze financial performance. Return on
average assets is net income as a percentage of average total
assets. It is a key profitability ratio that indicates how
effectively a bank has used its total resources. Return on
average assets was 1.15% in 2006 and 1.24% in 2005. Return on
average equity is net income as a percentage of average
stockholders equity. It provides a measure of how
productively a corporations equity has been employed.
BOEs return on average equity was 11.47% in 2006 and
12.18% in 2005. Dividend payout ratio is the percentage of net
income paid to stockholders as cash dividends during a given
period. It is computed by dividing dividends per share by net
income per share. BOE has a dividend payout ratio of 29.67% in
2006 and 28.13% in 2005. BOE utilizes leverage within guidelines
prescribed by federal banking regulators as described in the
section Capital Requirements in the preceding
section. Leverage is average stockholders equity divided
by total quarterly average assets. This ratio was 9.99% in 2006
and 10.19% in 2005.

Financial
Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Credit Risk and
Contractual Obligations
Bank of Essex is a party to financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet
the financing needs of its clients and to reduce its own
exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial
instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of
the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or
notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of
involvement Bank of Essex has in particular classes of financial
instruments.
Bank of Essexs exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument
for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit
is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.
Bank of Essex uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments.
A summary of the contract amount of Bank of Essexs
exposure to off-balance-sheet risk as of December 31, 2006
and 2005, is as follows:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client
as long as there is no violation of any condition established in
the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates
or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.
Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without
being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. Bank of Essex
evaluates each clients credit worthiness on a
case-by-case
basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by
Bank of Essex upon extension of credit, is based on
managements credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable,
inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing
commercial properties.
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for
possible future extensions of credit to existing clients. Those
lines of credit may not be drawn upon to the total extent to
which Bank of Essex is committed.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by
Bank of Essex to guarantee the performance of a client to a
third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support
public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial
paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to clients. Bank of
Essex holds certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, and real
estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which
collateral is deemed necessary.

obligations.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108
expresses the SEC staffs views regarding the process of
quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108
expresses the SEC staffs view that a registrants
materiality evaluation of an identified unadjusted error should
quantify the effects of the error on each financial statement
and related financial statement disclosures and that prior year
misstatements should be considered in quantifying misstatements
in current year financial statements. SAB 108 also states
that correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial
errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended.
Such correction may be made the next time the registrant files
the prior year financial statements. The cumulative effect of
the initial application should be reported in the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that
fiscal year and the offsetting adjustment should be made to the
opening balance of retained earnings for that year. Registrants
will disclose the nature and amount of each individual error
being corrected in the cumulative adjustment. The SEC staff
encourages early application of the guidance in SAB 108 for
interim periods of the first fiscal year ending after
November 15, 2006. period ended December 31, 2006, BOE
does not anticipate the implementation of SAB 108 will have
a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 155, Accounting for Certain
Hybrid Financial Instruments an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155).
SFAS 155 permits fair value measurement of any hybrid
financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that
otherwise would require bifurcation. The Statement also
clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips
are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133. It
establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized
financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding
derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that
contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation.
SFAS 155 also clarifies that concentrations of credit risk
in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives.
SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments
acquired or issued after the beginning of an entitys first
fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. BOE does
not expect the implementation of SFAS 155 to have a
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 140 (SFAS 156). SFAS 156 requires an
entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability
each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial
asset by entering into certain servicing contracts. The
Statement also requires all separately recognized servicing
assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at
fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits an entity to
choose between the amortization and fair value methods for
subsequent measurements. At initial adoption, the Statement
permits a one-time reclassification of available for sale
securities to trading securities by entities with recognized
servicing rights. SFAS 156 also requires separate
presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities
subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of
financial position and additional disclosures for all separately
recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This
Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys
first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. BOE
does not expect the implementation of SFAS 156 to have a
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does
not require any new fair value measurements but may change
current practice for some entities. This Statement is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years.
BOE does not expect the implementation of SFAS 157 to have
a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement
Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87,
88, 106, and 132(R) (SFAS 158). SFAS 158
requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or
130
underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as
an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and
to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which
the changes occur through comprehensive income. The funded
status of a benefit plan will be measured as the difference
between plan assets at fair value and the benefit obligation.
For a pension plan, the benefit obligation is the projected
benefit obligation. For any other postretirement plan, the
benefit obligation is the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation. SFAS 158 also requires an employer to measure
the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end
statement of financial position. The Statement also requires
additional disclosure in the notes to financial statements about
certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal
year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses,
prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or
obligation. BOE is required to initially recognize the funded
status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide
the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending
after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan
assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the
employers fiscal year-end statement of financial position
is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2008. See Note 8 for more information on the impact of
SFAS 158.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: An
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
(FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys
financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. The
Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement principles for the financial statement recognition
and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken
on a tax return that are not certain to be realized. FIN 48
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2006. BOE does not expect the implementation of FIN 48 to
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued
EITF 06-4,
Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement
Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance
Arrangements. This consensus concludes that for a
split-dollar life insurance arrangement within the scope of this
Issue, an employer should recognize a liability for future
benefits in accordance with FASB Statement No. 106 (if, in
substance, a postretirement benefit plan exits) or APB Opinion
No. 12 (if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual
deferred compensation contract) based on the substantive
agreement with the employee. The consensus is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. BOE is
currently evaluating the effect that EITF
No. 06-4
will have on its consolidated financial statements when
implemented.
In September 2006, The Emerging Issues Task Force issued
EITF 06-5,
Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance- Determining
the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB
Technical
Bulletin No. 85-4.
This consensus concludes that a policyholder should consider any
additional amounts included in the contractual terms of the
insurance policy other than the cash surrender value in
determining the amount that could be realized under the
insurance contract. A consensus also was reached that a
policyholder should determine the amount that could be realized
under the life insurance contract assuming the surrender of an
individual-life by individual-life policy (or certificate by
certificate in a group policy). The consensuses are effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. BOE is
currently evaluating the effect that EITF
No. 06-5
will have on its consolidated financial statements when
implemented.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in
the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in
interest rates, exchange rates and equity prices. BOEs
market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk.
BOEs ALCO is responsible for reviewing the interest rate
sensitivity position and establishing policies to monitor and
limit exposure to this risk. The board of directors reviews and
approves the guidelines established by ALCO.
Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of two
complimentary modeling tools: earnings simulation modeling and
economic value simulation (net present value estimation). Each
of these models measures changes in a variety of interest rate
scenarios. While each of the interest rate risk measures has
limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably
comprehensive view of the magnitude of interest rate risk in
BOE, the distribution of risk along the yield curve, the level
of risk through time, and the amount of exposure to changes in
certain interest rate
131
relationships. Earnings simulation and economic value models,
which more effectively measure the cash flow and optionality
impacts, are utilized by management on a regular basis and are
explained below.
Earnings
Simulation Analysis
Management uses simulation analysis to measure the sensitivity
of net interest income to changes in interest rates. The model
calculates an earnings estimate based on current and projected
balances and rates. This method is subject to the accuracy of
the assumptions that management has input, but it provides a
better analysis of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in
interest rates than other potential analyses.
Assumptions used in the model are derived from historical trends
and managements outlook and include loan and deposit
growth rates and projected yields and rates. Such assumptions
are monitored and periodically adjusted as appropriate. All
maturities, calls and prepayments in the securities portfolio
are assumed to be reinvested in like instruments. Mortgage loans
and mortgage backed securities prepayment assumptions are based
on industry estimates of prepayment speeds for portfolios with
similar coupon ranges and seasoning. Different interest rate
scenarios and yield curves are used to measure the sensitivity
of earnings to changing interest rates. Interest rates on
different asset and liability accounts move differently when the
prime rate changes and are reflected in the different rate
scenarios.
BOE uses its simulation model to estimate earnings in rate
environments where rates ramp up or down around a most
likely rate scenario, based on implied forward rates. The
analysis assesses the impact on net interest income over a
12 month time horizon by applying
12-month
shock versus the implied forward rates of 200 basis points
up and down. The following table represents the interest rate
sensitivity on net interest income for BOE across the rate paths
modeled as of December 31, 2006:

Economic
Value Simulation
Economic value simulation is used to determine the estimated
fair value of assets and liabilities over different interest
rate scenarios. Economic values are calculated based on
discounted cash flow analysis. The net economic value of equity
is the economic value of all assets minus the economic value of
all liabilities. The change in net economic value over different
rate scenarios is an indication of the longer term earnings
sensitivity capability of the balance sheet. The same
assumptions are used in the economic value simulation as in the
earnings simulation. The economic value simulation uses
simultaneous rate shocks to the balance sheet, whereas the
earnings simulation uses rate shock over 12 months. The
following chart reflects the estimated change in net economic
value over different rate environments using economic value
simulation as of December 31, 2006:

Board
of Director and Committee Meeting Attendance
There were thirteen meetings of the board of directors of BOE in
2006. Each incumbent director attended greater than 75% of the
aggregate number of meetings of the board of directors.
Additionally, each incumbent director attended greater than 75%
of its committees of which
he/she was a
member in 2006, except R. Harding Ball who attended 50% of the
meetings held of the Audit Committee. There are no family
relationships among any of the directors or among any directors
and any officer. None of the directors serve as directors of
other publicly held companies. It is BOEs policy that each
of the directors is expected to attend BOEs annual
stockholder meeting. All of BOEs nine directors attended
the 2006 Annual Meeting.
The board of directors has, among others, a standing Executive
Committee, Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.
Executive Committee. The executive
committee was composed of Alexander F. Dillard, Jr., George
B. Elliott, George M. Longest, Jr., and Philip T.
Minor as permanent members with other members rotating
quarterly. The rotating members were Mr. R. Harding Ball
for the first quarter of 2006, Mr. L. McCauley Chenault for
the second quarter of 2006, Mrs. Frances H. Ellis and
Mr. P. Emerson Hughes, Jr. for the third quarter of
2006 and Mr. R. Tyler Bland, III for the fourth
quarter of 2006. The executive committee is charged with
counseling management on current practices, approving loans,
either secured or unsecured, and reviewing all loans made and
accounts opened. The executive committee met twelve times in
2006.
Audit Committee. The audit committee
was composed of Mrs. Frances H. Ellis, Mr. R. Harding
Ball, Mr. Philip T. Minor and Mr. R. Tyler
Bland, III in 2006. The same directors are currently
serving on this committee. The board of directors has determined
that each of the members of the audit committee is independent
as defined by applicable NASDAQ listing standards and is
financially literate. The principal responsibilities of the
audit committee are to ensure that the board of directors
receives objective information in fulfilling the board of
directors oversight responsibility to the stockholders
relating to the integrity of BOEs financial statements,
BOEs compliance with legal and regulatory requirements,
the qualifications, independence and performance of BOEs
independent auditors and the performance of the internal audit
function. The audit committee is directly responsible for the
appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work
of the independent auditors engaged for the purpose of preparing
or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or
attestation services for BOE. The board of directors has adopted
a written charter for the audit committee, a current copy of
which is available on BOEs website www.boefinancial.com.
The audit committee met four times in 2006. For additional
information regarding the audit committee, see Report of
the Audit Committee on page 8 of this joint proxy
statement/prospectus.
Compensation Committee. The
compensation committee consists of Mr. R. Tyler
Bland, III, Mr. L. McCauley Chenault,
Mrs. Frances H. Ellis and Mr. P. Emerson
Hughes, Jr. The members of the compensation committee are
independent directors as defined by applicable NASDAQ listing
standards. The compensation committee reviews and recommends the
levels and types of compensation of directors, officers and
employees. Mr. Minor and Mr. Hughes serve as a
subcommittee that administers all incentive and stock option
plans for the benefit of employees and directors eligible to
participate in such plans. The compensation committee met three
times in 2006. The compensation committee has not adopted a
written charter.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During 2006 and up to the present time, there were transactions
between Bank of Essex and certain members of the compensation
committee or their associates, all consisting of extensions of
credit by Bank of Essex in the ordinary course of business. Each
transaction was made on substantially the same terms, including
interest rates, collateral and repayment terms, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with the
general public. In the opinion of management, none of the
transactions involved more than the normal risk of
collectibility or presented other unfavorable features.
134
Director
Nomination Process
The Company currently does not have a separate nominating
committee. The board of directors does not believe it needs a
separate nominating committee because the full board is
comprised of a majority of independent directors (as that term
is defined in the applicable Nasdaq listing standards) and has
the time and resources to perform the function of selecting
board nominees. When the board of directors performs its
nominating function, the board of directors acts in accordance
with BOEs articles of incorporation and bylaws but does
not have a separate charter related to the nomination process.
Stockholders entitled to vote for the election of directors may
submit names of candidates for consideration by the board of
directors if BOE receives timely written notice, in proper form,
for each such recommended director nominee. To be in proper
form, the notice must include each nominees written
consent to be named as a nominee and to serve, if elected, and
information about the stockholder making the nomination and the
person nominated for election. These requirements are more fully
described in Article II, Section 2.3 of BOEs
bylaws, a copy of which will be provided, without charge, to any
stockholder upon written request to the Corporate Secretary of
BOE, whose address is BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc.,
Post Office Box 965, 1325 Tappahannock Boulevard, Tappahannock,
Virginia 22560.
In the consideration of director nominees, including any nominee
that a stockholder may submit, the board of directors considers,
at a minimum, the following factors for new directors, or the
continued service of existing directors:
|
|
|
|
|
the ability of the prospective nominee to represent the
interests of the stockholders of BOE;
|
|
|
|
the prospective nominees standards of integrity,
commitment and independence of thought and judgment;
|
|
|
|
the prospective nominees ability to dedicate sufficient
time, energy and attention to the diligent performance of his or
her duties, including the prospective nominees service on
other public company boards; and
|
|
|
|
the extent to which the prospective nominee contributes to the
range of talent, skill and expertise appropriate for the board
of directors and meets the applicable Sarbanes-Oxley Act and
NASDAQ director standards.
|
Communications
with Directors
Any director may be contacted by writing to him or her
c/o BOE
Financial Services of Virginia, Inc., Post Office Box 965, 1325
Tappahannock Boulevard, Tappahannock, Virginia 22560.
Communications to the non-management directors as a group may be
sent to the same address,
c/o the
Corporate Secretary of BOE. BOE promptly forwards, without
screening, all such correspondence to the indicated directors.
Executive
Officers
Set forth below is certain information with respect to
BOEs principal executive officers:
K. Wayne Aylor, 66, is Senior Vice President and Senior
Credit Officer with BOE. Mr. Aylor joined BOE in February
2002. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Aylor served as
Vice President and Senior Credit Officer with The Community
Bankers Bank in Richmond, Virginia since February 1989.
Bonnie S. Courtney, 54, is Vice President of Operations and

Mr. Longest has served as a director of BOE since 1999 and
has been with BOE since February 1989.
Suzanne S. Rennolds, 58, is Senior Vice President, Human
Resources and Compliance and has been employed by BOE since

Interests
of Directors and Officers in Certain Transactions
Indebtedness
and Other Transactions
Certain directors and executive officers of BOE (defined in this
section to include its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Essex),
members of their immediate families and corporations,
partnerships and other entities with which such persons are
associated are customers of BOE. As such, they had transactions
in the ordinary course of business with BOE during 2006 and may
have additional transactions with BOE in the future. Any loans
and commitments to lend included in such transactions were made
in the ordinary course of business and upon substantially the
same terms, including interest rates, collateral and repayment
terms, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with the general public. In the opinion of
management, none of the transactions involved more than the
normal risk of collectibility or presented other unfavorable
features. At December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
loans from BOE to all executive officers and directors, their
immediate families
and/or
affiliated companies in which they are principals amounted to
approximately $3,198,695 and $2,885,032, respectively. These
amounts represented approximately 9.5% and 10.3% of the total
equity capital of BOE as of December 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively. During 2007 and 2006, no
lending relationship between BOE and any one of its executive
officers or directors, their immediate families
and/or
corporations or other entities in which they are principal
stockholders, exceeded 15% of BOEs total equity.
Regulation O promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board and
the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act
of 1991 impose limitations on the amount of credit that may by
extended by a state banking company such as BOEs
subsidiary, Bank of Essex, to its directors, executive officers
and related persons. Management believes it is in compliance
with these limitations.
Chenault Law Offices, PLC serves as counsel to BOE. L. McCauley
Chenault, a principal of Chenault Law Offices, PLC, is a
director of BOE.
The law firm of Dillard & Katona also serves as
counsel to BOE. Alexander F. Dillard, Jr., a partner in the
firm, is a director of BOE and currently serves as the Chairman
of the board of directors.
Compensation
Discussion and Analysis
The
Companys Executive Compensation Philosophy
The compensation committee of the board of directors is
responsible for establishing and approving the compensation of
executive officers of BOE. The compensation committee considers
a variety of factors and criteria in arriving at its decisions
and recommendations for compensation. The compensation
committees objective is to align the interests of
BOEs executive officers with those of compensation
committee and its stockholders. The compensation committee
believes that increases in earnings per share, dividends, and
stockholders equity improve stockholder market value.
Objectives
BOEs compensation program generally consists of salary,
bonus, and benefits. Benefits include BOEs defined benefit
pension plan, supplemental retirement plan, participation in
BOEs 401(k) plan and health insurance benefits. In
addition, BOE offers perquisites to certain executive officers
such as use of BOE- owned vehicles. BOE recognizes that
competitive compensation is critical for attracting, motivating,
and rewarding qualified executives. Therefore, one of the
fundamental objectives of BOEs compensation program is to
offer
136
competitive compensation and benefits for all employees,
including executive officers, to compete for and retain talented
personnel who will lead us in achieving levels of financial
performance that enhance stockholder value.
Salary
The base salary of each executive officer named in the Summary
Compensation Table below (the named executive
officers) is designed to be competitive with that of
BOEs peer banks. In establishing the base salary for the
named executive officers, the compensation committee relies on
an evaluation of the officers level of responsibility and
performance and on comparative information, including the
Virginia Bankers Associations Salary Survey of Virginia
Banks. In establishing the base salary, other than for the chief
executive officer, the compensation committee also receives and
takes into account the individual compensation recommendations
from the chief executive officer. The salary of the chief
executive officer is approved by the independent members of the
board of directors, upon recommendation of the compensation
committee.
Bonus
BOE does not have a formal bonus plan that specifies potential
bonus amounts in terms of a percentage of base salary. Cash
bonus awards are entirely at the discretion of the compensation
committee. In determining whether or not to award cash bonuses
and the level of such bonuses for a given year, the Committee
considers the overall performance of BOE, including but not
limited to, such factors as earnings per share, return on
equity, growth and stockholder value, as well as their
subjective evaluation of the executive officers individual
performance. Cash bonus awards for similar executives in market
comparisons are also considered.
Stock
Incentive Plan and Stock Option Plan for Outside
Directors
BOE maintains two stock option plans designed to attract and
retain qualified personnel in key positions, provide employees
and directors with a proprietary interest in BOE as an incentive
to contribute to the success of BOE and reward employees and
directors for outstanding performance and the attainment of
targeted goals. The stock option plans were approved by
stockholders at the May 2000 Annual Meeting, became effective
July 1, 2000 and will expire July 1, 2010. The
employee plan is the BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc.
Stock Incentive Plan and provides for the grant of 100,000
incentive stock options to employees intended to comply with the
requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986. The director plan is administered under the BOE Financial
Services of Virginia, Inc. Stock Option Plan for Outside
Directors and authorizes the grant of 10,000 non-qualified stock
options for directors.
The stock option plans are administered by Mr. Minor and
Mr. Hughes, a subcommittee of the compensation committee.
Under the plans, the subcommittee determines which employees and
directors will be granted options, whether such options will be
incentive or non-qualified options, the number of shares subject
to each option, whether such options may be exercised by
delivering other shares of common stock and when such options
will become exercisable. In general, the per share exercise
price of an incentive stock option and a non-qualified stock
option must be at least equal to the fair market value of a
share of common stock on the date the option is granted.
Stock options become vested and exercisable in the manner
specified by the compensation committee. Each stock option or
portion thereof is exercisable at any time on or after it vests
until ten years after its date of grant. A review was performed
in 2007 of all stock option grants. The review verified that all
options were priced at or above the closing stock price on the
day the option was approved by the board of directors and
granted.
There were no stock options awarded during 2006 or 2007, due
primarily to changes in accounting standards for stock options
and the impact of those changes on reported earnings.
Additionally, on December 22, 2005, the board of directors
voted to accelerate the vesting on all outstanding options in
order to eliminate the recognition of compensation expense
associated with the affected options under SFAS 123R, which
became applicable to BOE beginning in the first quarter of 2006.
The compensation committees ongoing review of executive
compensation will include a determination as to whether use of
stock option plans or other equity awards is to be recommended.
137
Pension
Plan
The Bank of Essex maintains a noncontributory defined benefit
pension plan for all full-time employees who are 21 years
of age or older and who have completed one year of eligibility
service. Benefits payable under the plan are based on years of
credited service, average compensation over the highest
consecutive five years, and the plans benefit formula
(1.60% of average compensation times years of credited service
in excess of 20 years but not in excess of 35 years
plus .65% (70% if SSNRA is 66) of average compensation in
excess of Social Security Covered Compensation times years of
credited service up to a maximum of 35 years). For 2006,
the maximum allowable annual benefit payable by the plan at
age 65 (the plans normal retirement age) was $175,000
and the maximum compensation covered by the plan was $220,000.
Reduced early retirement benefits are payable on or after
age 55 upon completion of 10 years of credited
service. Amounts payable under the plan are not subject to
reduction for Social Security benefits.
Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan
Bank of Essex has adopted a non-tax qualified Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) for certain
executives to supplement the benefits such executives can
receive under Bank of Essexs other retirement programs and
social security. Retirement benefits under the SERP vary by
individual and are payable at age 65 for 15 years or
life, whichever is longer. In the event of termination prior to
age 65 (for reasons other than death, subsequent to a
change of control or for cause), benefits still commence at
age 65, but are substantially reduced. Benefits payable in
the event of termination following a change of control or death
commence upon termination or death, and are the approximate
actuarial equivalent of the value of normal retirement benefits.
No benefits are payable in the event that termination is for
cause.
Directors
Supplemental Retirement Plan
In 2006, BOE established the Directors Supplemental
Retirement Plan for its non-employee directors. The
Directors Supplemental Retirement Plan is designed to
retain the future services of directors. This plan provides for
a benefit upon the later of October 1, 2010 or retirement
from service on the board of directors at the normal retirement
age of 75. Benefits under this plan are payable at retirement
for a period of 10 years. The Directors Supplemental
Retirement Plan also contains provisions for change of control,
as defined, which allow the directors to retain benefits under
the plan in the event of a termination of service subsequent to
a change of control, other than for cause.
401(k)
Employee Savings Plan
BOE sponsors a 401(k) Employee Savings Plan, for which all
full-time employees who are 21 years of age or older are
eligible to participate. BOE matches 50% of employee
contributions on the first 4% of earned compensation. While
employee contributions are immediately vested, BOE contributions
are subject to a stated vesting schedule.
Employment
Continuity Agreements
BOE has entered into employment continuity agreements with each
of George M. Longest, Jr., Bruce E. Thomas, K. Wayne Aylor,
Terrell D. Vaughan, Suzanne S. Rennolds, Bonnie S. Courtney and
William E. Saunders, Jr. in order to secure their continued
services and enable them to devote their full efforts to BOE in
the event of a change of control of BOE. Under the continuity
agreements, each executive is entitled to certain salary
continuance benefits, welfare continuance benefits and
outplacement services if BOE terminates his or her employment
for any reason other than cause, or if the executive terminates
for certain specific reasons, set forth below, within two years
following a change of control.
The salary continuance benefit is an amount equal to two times,
in the case of Messrs. Longest and Thomas, and one time, in
the case of the other executives, the sum of the
executives base salary in effect as of the change of
control date plus the maximum cash bonus payable to him or her.
If the executive applies for or accepts employment with BOE
within five years of his or her termination of employment, the
executive is required to repay to BOE the entire amount of the
salary continuance benefit.
138
Under the welfare continuance benefit, the executive and his or
her dependents will continue to be covered, for a one-year
period following the executives termination of employment,
under all welfare plans in which the executive and his or her
dependents were participating prior to the date of termination.
Welfare plans include any health or dental plans, disability
plans, survivor income plans or life insurance plans maintained
by BOE. BOE will pay all or a portion of the costs of the
benefit on the same basis as is applicable to active employees.
The welfare continuance benefit will cease if the executive
obtains coverage under one or more welfare plans of a subsequent
employer and that provide equal or greater benefits to the
executive and his or her dependents.
The outplacement services provided for under the continuity
agreements include job search and interview skill services. The
services will be provided by a regionally recognized
outplacement organization selected by the executive with
approval of BOE. The services are available for up to one year
after the executives termination of employment.
In order for the executive to be entitled to receive benefits in
the case of voluntary termination of employment, he or she must
voluntarily terminate employment within 90 days after one
of the following events: (a) a decrease in his or her
aggregate base salary and incentive bonus opportunity or a
significant reduction in the amount of additional benefits or
perquisites provided to him or her as of the date of the change
of control, (b) a decrease in his or her authority, duties
or responsibilities as determined as of the date of the change
of control, or (c) the assignment of duties to him or her
that are inconsistent with his or her duties and
responsibilities as of the date of change of control. Benefits
will not be payable if the action is isolated, insubstantial or
inadvertent and not taken in bad faith, and remedied by BOE
within 15 days after receipt of notice thereof given by the
executive.
A change of control of BOE will be deemed to occur if
(i) any person or group becomes a beneficial owner of 20%
or more of the combined voting power of BOEs outstanding
securities that may be cast for election of directors, other
than as a result of an issuance of securities initiated by BOE
or open market purchases approved by the board of directors, so
long as the majority of the board of directors approving the
purchases is also the majority at the time the purchases are
made, or (ii) if as a direct or indirect result of, or in
connection with, a cash tender or exchange offer, merger or
other business combination, sale of assets, or contested
election, the directors constituting the board of directors
before any such transactions cease to constitute a majority of
the board of directors or its successors board within two
years of the last such transactions.
In return for payment of benefits under the continuity
agreements, each executive agrees to execute a written release,
in such form as provided by the Company, of any and all claims
the executive may have against BOE.
Other
Benefit Plans
Executives participate in BOEs benefit plans on the same
terms as other employees. These plans include medical, dental,
life, and disability insurance. BOE provides life insurance
coverage equal to three times the employees salary for all
eligible employees. A guaranteed issue cap on this coverage of
$500,000 is dictated by the plan. Coverage in excess of $50,000
is subject to taxation based on Internal Revenue Service
guidelines.
Perquisites
BOE provides perquisites to certain executive officers, such as
an automobile allowance; however, such amounts are not included
in the Summary Compensation Table below because such amounts are
less than $10,000.

The calculations are based on an assumption that each named
executive officers employment would be terminated on
December 31, 2006. Such an assumption would require payment
of salary, bonus, and coverage under BOEs healthcare and
other insurance benefits through December 31, 2007. The
salary and bonus amounts are based on 2006 amounts. The value of
healthcare and other insurance benefits is based upon the type
of coverage provided to the executive officer as of
December 31, 2006, and valued at the premiums in effect at
that time.
Compensation
of the Board of Directors
Directors of the Company are paid an annual retainer of $5,000,
plus $300 for attendance at each meeting of the board of
directors and $100 for attendance at each committee meeting held
on the regularly scheduled board of directors meeting date.
Directors are paid a $200 fee for attended committee meetings
called on days other than regularly scheduled board of directors
meeting dates. Mr. Dillard is paid a $6,000 fee for serving
as chairman of the board of directors. BOE Employees serving as
directors or committee members do not receive any separate
compensation for board of directors or committee meetings
attended.

INFORMATION
ABOUT TRANSCOMMUNITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION
General
TransCommunity is a financial holding company and the parent
company of TransCommunity Bank. TransCommunity was formed in
March 2001, principally in response to perceived opportunities
resulting from the takeover in recent years of a number of
Virginia-based banks by national and regional banking
institutions. Until June 29, 2007, TransCommunity was the
holding company for four separately-chartered banking
subsidiaries Bank of Powhatan, Bank of Goochland,
Bank of Louisa and Bank of Rockbridge. On June 29, 2007,
these four subsidiaries were consolidated into a new
TransCommunity Bank. Each former subsidiary now operates as a
division of TransCommunity Bank, but has retained its name and
local identity in the community that it serves.
At September 30, 2007, TransCommunity had total assets of
$223.0 million, total loans net of the allowance for loan
losses of $186.3 million, total deposits of
$192.0 million and total stockholders equity of
$29.9 million.
TransCommunitys headquarters are located at 4235 Innslake
Drive, Glen Allen, Virginia.
Recent
Developments
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was
$2.5 million, or $0.54 per share (basic and diluted),
versus net income of $117 thousand, or $0.03 per share for the
same period during 2006.
Results for 2007 were significantly affected by recognition at
year-end of a deferred tax asset totaling $3.3 million,
arising primarily from recognition by TransCommunity of the net
operating loss carry forwards generated since
TransCommunitys inception, in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. As a result of recognizing this
deferred tax asset, TransCommunity expects to incur tax expense
related to income earned in 2008 and subsequent years.
Without recognition of this deferred tax asset, performance for
2007 would have been a loss of $829 thousand, versus net income
of $117 thousand for 2006. Inclusive of the deferred tax asset,
the return on average assets for 2007 was 1.16% compared to .06%
for 2006. Return on average equity for 2007 was 8.23% compared
to 0.39% for 2006.
During 2007, total assets grew by 20%, led by strong growth in
the loan portfolio of 36%. Although TransCommunitys
employee headcount remained constant during 2007, noninterest
expenses grew 19% to $10.6 million, reflecting one-time
costs associated with the consolidation of TransCommunitys
four banking charters, and centralization of many back-room
operational functions.
TransCommunitys net interest margin for 2007 was 5.13%
versus 5.14% for 2006. Although TransCommunity was able to
maintain its historic high level of net interest margin during
2007, this key profitability indicator is expected to decline in
2008 as a result of the actions of the Federal Reserve Board to
lower interest rates.
During 2007, as part of the consolidation of its bank charters,
TransCommunity centralized its credit administration function,
and hired its first chief credit officer. Following
consolidation, the new chief credit officer performed a full
review of the entire loan portfolio. This review, plus several
credit downgrades in the final quarter of the year, resulted in
an increase in the allowance for loan losses during 2007 of $1.6
Million. At December 31, 2007 the allowance for loan losses
stands at $3.0 million, or 1.48% of total loans. At
December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was
$2,100,000, or 1.36% of total loans.
At December 31, 2007, total assets were $238.2 million
versus $198.4 million at December 31, 2006. Loans, net
of the allowance for loan losses, equaled $202.4 million,
as compared with $149.3 million at year-end 2006. Total
deposits at December 31, 2007 were $203.6 million,
representing growth of 23.4% from $165.0 million at
year-end 2006.

TransCommunity
Bank and its Divisions
TransCommunity Bank operates a community banking business in
central Virginia west and north of the greater Richmond
metropolitan area. TransCommunity Bank is structured to support
the operations of its four bank divisions, allowing each bank
division, with its own board of directors and local management
team to exercise
147
broad decision-making flexibility. TransCommunity believes that
the best banks are independently run, locally directed, focused
on their local communities and able to respond to customer needs
as rapidly as possible. Under the TransCommunity business model,
each of its community bank divisions has the authority to serve
and represent its local community. The focus of
TransCommunitys consolidated bank operations is
principally to create cost savings through use of a common
operational platform.
Information with respect to each of TransCommunity Banks
divisions is set forth below.
Bank of Powhatan. Bank of Powhatan
commenced its banking operations in March 2000 and has one
office located on the north side of U.S. Route 60, the
major east-west highway in Powhatan County.
Powhatan County is a suburb of Richmond and is experiencing
significant growth in population. According to the University of
Virginia Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, from 2000 to
2006, Powhatan Countys population grew 20%. The Powhatan
County deposit market grew 154% or by $149 million from
June 30, 2000 to June 30, 2007, according to a report,
from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC). The bank is evaluating opening a second
office in Powhatan County serving a highly desirable area, which
includes the zip code with the highest average household income
in the greater Richmond metropolitan area.
At September 30, 2007, the Bank of Powhatan had
$64.4 million of total deposits. At June 30, 2007, it
had $65.4 million of total deposits, which represents a
26.6% market share in deposits in Powhatan County as of the most
recent report from the FDIC.
Bank of Goochland. Bank of Goochland
opened in November 2002. Goochland County is contiguous to
Powhatan County but separated by the James River west of
Richmond and is a
45-minute
drive from Charlottesville. Bank of Goochland operates two
offices in Goochland County. The main office is located in
Centerville, on U.S. Route 250, a heavily-traveled route
used by Goochland Country residents in their commute to and from
work in the Richmond area. This location is six miles west of
Glen Allen (where TransCommunity is headquartered), a
significant business community in western Henrico Country. The
Bank also operates a second office at historic Goochland
Courthouse, which serves the western portion of the Goochland
market.
According to the University of Virginia Weldon Cooper Center for
Public Service, Goochland County has experienced a 17%
population growth from 2000 to 2006. The deposits in Goochland
County grew 136% or by $104 million from June 30, 2000
to June 30, 2007, according to the most recent report from
the FDIC.
At September 30, 2007, the Bank of Goochland had
$89.1 million of total deposits. At June 30, 2007, it
had $82.5 million of total deposits, which represents a 46%
market share in deposits in Goochland County as of the most
recent report from the FDIC.
Bank of Louisa. Bank of Louisa opened
its first office in July 2003, in the Town of Louisa, as a
branch of the Bank of Powhatan. In April 2004, Bank of Louisa
was spun off as a separately-chartered bank subsidiary of
TransCommunity. Concurrent with its opening, Bank of Louisa
purchased the assets and assumed the deposits of the Louisa
branch of Bank of Powhatan. The permanent main office for Bank
of Louisa, located in the town of Louisa, opened in April 2005.
Louisa County is contiguous to Goochland Countys northern
boundary and just east of Charlottesville. According to the
University of Virginia Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service,
Louisa County has experienced 18% population growth from 2000 to
2006. Deposits in Louisa County grew 57% or $99 million
from June 30, 2000 to June 30, 2007, according to the
latest report from the FDIC.
At September 30, 2007, the Bank of Louisa had
$30.1 million of total deposits. At June 30, 2007, it
had $29.9 million of total deposits, which represents a
11.1% market share in deposits in Louisa County as of the most
recent report from the FDIC.
Bank of Rockbridge. The Bank of
Rockbridge opened in December 2006 as a new bank subsidiary of
TransCommunity. The central valley area including Rockbridge and
the City of Lexington area grew 5% in population between 2000
and 2006, according to the University of Virginia Weldon Cooper
Center for Public Service. Deposits in Rockbridge County and the
City of Lexington grew 55% or $171 million during this same
time to $480 million, according to the FDIC.
148
At September 30, 2007, the Bank of Rockbridge had
$8.4 million of total deposits. At June 30, 2007, it
had $6.3 million of total deposits, which represents a 1.3%
market share in deposits in Rockbridge County and the City of
Lexington as of the most recent report from the FDIC.
Operating
Strategy
TransCommunitys operating strategy has historically
focused on the operating efficiencies that a holding company
could offer a multi-bank subsidiary structure. The
centralization of many back room operations
functions that do not routinely touch the customer lowers
overall operating costs, as the holding company could provide
services such as information technology, telephone and data
services, item processing and website management in
bulk form, and to improve operating efficiencies. In
addition, managing the delivery of these services from
TransCommunity has allowed its bank managers to devote more time
to serving customers. TransCommunitys current common
operating platform includes deposit operations, credit
administration and accounting.
The business model, however, is not dependent on maintaining
separate subsidiary bank charters; rather, the primary focus is
local decision-making and empowering the managers in the
communities that TransCommunity serves with operational
decision-making authority. In recent years, the cost of
maintaining separate and independent subsidiaries has increased
with more stringent regulatory requirements for internal
accounting and financial controls. In January 2007,
TransCommunitys board of directors voted unanimously to
consolidate its four existing bank subsidiaries into a single
legal entity, TransCommunity Bank. The consolidation was
completed on June 29, 2007. TransCommunity believes that
the consolidation of its banks will result in significantly
lowered operating expenses, and can be achieved without
impacting the local decision-making processes that are at the
heart of its business model.
TransCommunitys long-term strategy is to build a
profitable financial services organization. This strategy means
more product and financial solutions for the customer, more cost
savings and revenue generating opportunities. TransCommunity
does not plan to expand or acquire other entities for the sake
of asset growth alone. Its focus is on revenue growth and
profitability, and on developing a complete financial services
platform.
Growth
Strategy
TransCommunitys goal is to provide superior, long-term
returns to its stockholders by building a significant community
banking franchise in Virginia. Virginia is dominated by large,
out-of-state banks, which have expanded their market presence in
Virginia primarily by acquiring Virginia-domiciled institutions.
TransCommunity intends to target underserved or
over-consolidated markets in Virginia and to enter those markets
through one of the following strategies:
|
|
|
|
|
Strategic De Novo Banks. TransCommunity
has developed substantial knowledge and expertise in organizing
de novo banks. To date, it has opened four de novo
banks. While TransCommunity has recently chosen to
consolidate its four existing bank charters into a single bank,
there may be situations where the operational and economic
benefits of establishing additional new independent banks
outweigh the associated costs. TransCommunity may add new de
novo banks in attractive markets where it can hire
experienced management teams.
|
|
|
|
Selective De Novo Branching. To date,
only Bank of Goochland has established a new branch office. At
present, TransCommunity is actively evaluating an additional
branch for its Bank of Powhatan division. As it grows,
TransCommunity will consider opportunities to establish new
branches in its existing market footprint to leverage the brand
awareness developed by its bank divisions, and to provide
additional convenience to its customers. In some cases,
TransCommunity may establish branches in new markets that
operate under a separate name with a doing business
as designation to better establish a close tie to the
local community.
|
|
|
|
Opportunistic Acquisitions. While
Virginia is dominated by large, out-of-state banks, there are
over 70 banking institutions headquartered in Virginia that have
less than $250 million in assets. TransCommunity believes
that many of these smaller banks will seek to merge with
companies that have the infrastructure in
|
149
|
|
|
|
|
place to handle the growing back-office and regulatory burden
faced by smaller institutions. TransCommunitys
decentralized decision-making structure and approach should also
be attractive to the management, board of directors, employees
and stockholders of such companies. TransCommunity believes that
these factors will make TransCommunity a competitive acquirer.
|
Lending
Activities
General. Each of TransCommunity
Banks divisions emphasizes a range of lending activities,
including real estate, commercial, and consumer loans to
individuals, small businesses and professional firms located in
central Virginia. Each division has its own loan underwriting
authority exercised by its president and loan committee.
TransCommunity has developed a common set of loan underwriting
standards for use by each of its banks which vary by type of
loan, as described below. Each of TransCommunity Banks
divisions seeks to underwrite loans in accordance with these
common underwriting guidelines, as well as applicable regulatory
supervisory limits. TransCommunity does not maintain a loan
committee at the holding company level. TransCommunity believes
that local lending authority allows it to be more responsive
than its regional and national competitors.
Since loans typically provide higher interest yields than other
types of interest-earning assets, TransCommunity seeks to invest
a substantial percentage of its earning assets in its loan
portfolio. TransCommunity believes it has a competitive market
advantage over larger national and regional banking institutions
because it provide borrowers with a wide variety of lending
products in the range of approximately $250,000 to
$1.5 million that these larger banks may not want to offer
because of the size or characteristics of the loan, or may not
be able to deliver as expeditiously as TransCommunity. At
September 30, 2007, TransCommunity had total loans of
$189.0 million, representing 92% of its earning assets.
Each of TransCommunity Banks divisions seeks to maintain a
diversified loan portfolio and to limit the amount of loans to
any single client. At September 30, 2007, the 25 largest
client relationships at TransCommunity Bank represented
$46 million, or 24% of its loan portfolio. As
TransCommunity Bank continues to grow and mature, it expects
that this concentrations will decrease as a percentage of total
loans.
Regardless of the purpose of an individual loan, each of
TransCommunity Banks divisions seeks to obtain a security
interest in real estate whenever possible, in addition to any
other collateral available, in order to increase the likelihood
of the ultimate repayment of the loan.
Loans Secured by Real Estate. At
September 30, 2007, loans secured by real estate
represented 80% of the loans in TransCommunitys
consolidated portfolio. Real estate lending by TransCommunity
Banks divisions generally consists of commercial real
estate loans, construction and development loans, and
residential and home equity loans. Interest rates for all
categories of real estate loans may be fixed or adjustable, with
adjustable-rate loans predominating. In addition to interest,
TransCommunity generally charges an origination fee on each loan.
Real estate loans originated by TransCommunitys banks are
subject to the same risks as other loans and are particularly
sensitive to fluctuations in the value of real estate. While
real estate market values in the central Virginia market have
risen strongly during the past decade, fluctuations in the value
of real estate, as well as other factors arising after a loan
has been made, could negatively affect a borrowers cash
flow, creditworthiness and ability to repay the loan.
Commercial Real Estate Loans. At
September 30, 2007, commercial real estate loans totaled
$49 million or 26% of TransCommunitys consolidated
loan portfolio. These loans generally have rate terms of five
years or less, although payments may be structured on a longer
amortization basis. Each of TransCommunity Banks divisions
evaluates every borrower on an individual basis and attempts to
determine the business risks and credit profile of each
borrower. TransCommunity also generally requires that a
borrowers cash flow be at least 1.15% of monthly debt
service obligations. In order to insure secondary sources of
payment and liquidity to support loan requests, TransCommunity
typically reviews personal financial statements of all principal
owners and requires their personal guarantees.
Construction and Development Loans. Each of
TransCommunity Banks divisions offers residential and
commercial construction loans to builders and developers as well
as to consumers who wish to build their own homes. None of
TransCommunity Banks divisions makes loans in this
category on a fixed-rate basis, and as of
150
September 30, 2007, all loans in this category were
adjustable rate loans. As of September 30, 2007, a total of
$59 million, or approximately 31% of TransCommunitys
consolidated loan portfolio consisted of construction and
development real estate loans. The duration of
TransCommunitys construction and development loans does
not normally exceed 24 months. Construction and development
loans generally carry a higher degree of risk than long- term
financing of existing properties because repayment depends on
the ultimate completion of the project and usually the sale of
the property. Specific risks include:
|
|
|
|
|
cost overruns;
|
|
|
|
mismanaged construction;
|
|
|
|
inferior or improper construction techniques;
|
|
|
|
economic changes or downturns during construction;
|
|
|
|
a downturn in the real estate market;
|
|
|
|
rising interest rates which may prevent sale of the
property; or
|
|
|
|
failure to sell completed projects in a timely manner.
|
TransCommunity attempts to reduce the risk associated with
construction and development loans by obtaining personal
guarantees where possible and by keeping the loan-to-value ratio
of the completed project at or below 80% for commercial loans
and 85% for consumer loans.
Residential Loans and Home Equity Loans. None
of TransCommunity Banks divisions originates
traditional long- term residential mortgages, but each of
the divisions does issue second mortgage residential loans and
home equity lines of credit. With respect to home equity lines
of credit, TransCommunitys policy is to limit extensions
of credit to 90% of the available equity in each property. As of
September 30, 2007, a total of $43 million, or 23%, of
TransCommunitys consolidated loan portfolio consisted of
residential mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit.
Commercial Business Loans. Each of
TransCommunity Banks divisions makes loans for commercial
purposes in various lines of business, including manufacturing,
service industry and professional service areas. TransCommunity
also offers small business loans utilizing government
enhancements such as the Small Business Administrations,
or SBA, 7(a) program and 504 program, which loans are partially
guaranteed by the government, thereby reducing their risk. As of
September 30, 2007, a total of $19 million, or 10%, of
TransCommunitys consolidated loan portfolio consisted of
commercial business loans.
Consumer Loans. Each of TransCommunity
Banks divisions makes loans to individuals for personal
and household purposes, including secured and unsecured
installment loans and revolving lines of credit. Consumer loans
are underwritten based on the borrowers income, current
debt level, past credit history, and the availability and value
of collateral. Consumer loans are both fixed and variable, with
negotiable terms. TransCommunitys installment loans
typically amortize over periods not exceeding 60 months.
Each of TransCommunity Banks divisions offer consumer
loans with a single maturity date when a specific source of
repayment is available. Typically, each of TransCommunitys
banks requires monthly payments of interest and a portion of the
principal on revolving loan products. As of September 30,
2007, a total of $19 million, or 10%, of
TransCommunitys consolidated loan portfolio consisted of
loans to consumers.
Loan Approval. Certain credit risks are
inherent in making loans. These include prepayment risks, risks
resulting from uncertainties in the future value of collateral,
risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions
and risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers. Each of
TransCommunity Banks divisions attempts to mitigate
repayment risks by adhering to common credit policies and
procedures. These policies and procedures, which are maintained
by TransCommunity and are common to all divisions, include
officer lending limits, a multi-layered loan approval process
for larger loans, documentation examination, and
follow-up
procedures for any exceptions to credit policies. Each of
TransCommunity Banks divisions has a loan committee of its
board of directors that is responsible for oversight of the
lending function at that bank. When the amount of aggregate
loans to a single borrower exceeds an individual officers
lending authority, the loan request will be considered by an
officer with a higher lending authority or by the banks
loan committee. None of TransCommunity
151
Banks divisions makes any loans to (1) any director
or officer of that bank, (2) any director or officer of any
affiliate bank, or (3) any officer or director of the
holding company, unless the loan is approved by the board of
directors of the bank and is on terms not more favorable to such
person than would be available to a person not affiliated with
that bank.
Credit Administration and Loan
Review. TransCommunity maintains a continuous
loan review system that is managed at the consolidated bank
level. Each of TransCommunity Banks divisions also applies
a consistent credit grading system to each loan, and
TransCommunity utilizes an independent consultant to review the
loan files annually on a test basis to confirm the grading of
each loan. This independent consulting firm reports directly to
the chairman of TransCommunitys audit committee of the
board of directors. TransCommunity holds each loan officer
responsible for the loans he or she makes, regardless of whether
other individuals or committees joined in the approval. This
responsibility continues until the loan is repaid or until the
loan is formally assigned to another officer.
Lending Limits. The lending activities
of each of TransCommunity Banks divisions are subject to a
variety of lending limits imposed by federal law. In general, a
bank is subject to a legal limit on loans to a single borrower
equal to 15% of that banks capital and unimpaired surplus.
This limit will increase or decrease as that banks capital
increases or decreases. Based on the capitalization of
TransCommunity Bank at September 30, 2007, TransCommunity
Banks total equity capital of $30 million allows for
a lending limit up to $4.5 million at any of its divisions.
Deposit
Services
TransCommunity focuses on customer service to attract and retain
deposits. Each of TransCommunity Banks divisions offers a
full range of commercial and retail deposit services, including
checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts and
other time deposits of varying types. The principal source of
deposits at each of TransCommunity Banks divisions is the
local, central Virginia market. Because of the historically low
interest rate environment in the last four years, each of
TransCommunity Banks divisions has also been able to
obtain a portion of its deposits from bank-to-bank deposits
generated outside its local market at certain times. As of
September 30, 2007, none of TransCommunity Banks
consolidated deposits was from out of market sources. Deposit
rates are reviewed regularly by senior management of each bank.
TransCommunity believes that the deposit rates it offers are
competitive with those offered by other financial institutions
in its market area. By focusing on core deposits, TransCommunity
believes it can continue to keep the overall cost of its
deposits low and thereby benefit from wide net interest margins.
Competition
Banks generally compete with other financial institutions
through the selection of banking products and services offered,
the pricing of services, the level of service provided, the
convenience and availability of services, and the degree of
expertise and the personal manner in which services are offered.
Virginia law permits statewide branching by banks. Consequently,
commercial banking in Virginia is highly competitive. Many large
banking organizations, most of which are controlled by
out-of-state holding companies, currently operate in the greater
Richmond, Virginia metropolitan area, and TransCommunitys
primary market area. As of September 30, 2007, the
aggregate deposit market in the Commonwealth of Virginia
amounted to approximately $182 billion, of which
out-of-state banking institutions controlled approximately 46%
of these deposits. In addition, competition between commercial
banks and thrift institutions (savings institutions and credit
unions) has intensified significantly in recent years with the
elimination of many previous distinctions between the various
types of financial institutions and the granting of expanded
powers to thrift institutions in areas which previously had been
the sole domain of commercial banks. Legislation enacted in
recent years has resulted in the almost total elimination of
most distinctions between a commercial bank and a thrift
institution. Consequently, competition among financial
institutions of all types is largely unlimited with respect to
legal ability and authority to provide most financial services.
Furthermore, as a consequence of federal and Virginia
legislation, out-of-state banks not previously allowed to
operate in Virginia are allowed to commence operations and
compete in TransCommunitys primary market area. See
Supervision and Regulation.
152
TransCommunity faces competition from other banks, as well as
thrift institutions, consumer finance companies, insurance
companies and other institutions in TransCommunitys
respective market areas. Some of these competitors are not
subject to the same degree of regulation and restriction imposed
upon the banks. Some of these competitors also have broader
geographic markets and substantially greater resources and
lending limits than TransCommunity Banks divisions and
offer certain services that the divisions are not expected to
provide in the near term. Such competitors may also be in a
position to make more effective use of media advertising,
support services and electronic technology than TransCommunity.
Employees
At September 30, 2007, TransCommunity had 73 full-time
equivalent employees as compared to 72 full-time equivalent
employees at December 31, 2006.
As a financial holding company TransCommunity is heavily
regulated. For a further description of the regulations to which
TransCommunity is subject see Supervision and
Regulation.
Properties
TransCommunitys headquarters are located in approximately

Legal
Proceedings
In the ordinary course of operations, TransCommunity and its
subsidiary bank expect to be parties to various legal
proceedings.
At present, there are no pending or threatened proceedings
against TransCommunity or its subsidiary that, if determined
adversely, would have a material effect on the business, results
of operations, or financial position of TransCommunity or its
subsidiary.
On November 2, 2006, James L. Minter filed a lawsuit
against TransCommunity and William C. Wiley, the former chief
executive officer and chairman of the board of directors of
TransCommunity, in the Circuit Court of the County of Powhatan
in Virginia. The suit arose out of the purchase of Main Street
Mortgage by Bank of Powhatan in early 2001. Main Street
Mortgage, a mortgage brokerage company, had operated as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Bank of Powhatan and was closed on
November 29, 2006. Mr. Minter alleged that in late
2000 Mr. Wiley withheld information concerning the value of
Main Street Mortgage from the Bank of Powhatans board of
directors and that the Bank of Powhatan would not have acquired
Main Street Mortgage if the valuation had been provided to the
Bank of Powhatans board of directors.
Mr. Minters suit claimed that TransCommunity aided
and abetted and conspired with Mr. Wiley in his
misrepresentation of Main Street Mortgages value.
Mr. Minters suit also alleged that the December 2005
separation agreement between TransCommunity and William Wiley
improperly released claims TransCommunity had against
Mr. Wiley arising out of Mr. Wileys alleged
concealment of the Main Street Mortgage valuation from the Bank
of Powhatans board of directors in late 2000.
Mr. Minter sought unspecified recessionary and compensatory
damages, unspecified treble damages and punitive damages of
$350,000 against each defendant, jointly and severally and with
interest. Mr. Minter also sought to recover his
attorneys fees.
TransCommunity believes that insofar as it concerns
TransCommunity, Mr. Minters suit is without merit.
TransCommunity moved for a dismissal of the lawsuit, brought
claims against Mr. Minter for breach of fiduciary duty
related to his use of confidential company information for
personal gain and removed him from the board of the Bank of
Powhatan. In response to TransCommunitys motion to dismiss
the lawsuit, on August 8, 2007, the court dismissed the two
counts that Mr. Minter had asserted against TransCommunity.
The court, however, permitted Mr. Minter to replead the
count in which Mr. Minter alleged that TransCommunity aided
and abetted Mr. Wiley in his allegedly fraudulent conduct.
Mr. Minter amended his complaint, with the only claim
against TransCommunity based on TransCommunitys alleged
derivative liability for Mr. Wileys conduct.
TransCommunity again moved for a dismissal of
Mr. Minters claim, and, on December 7, 2007, the
court dismissed Mr. Minters lone remaining claim
against TransCommunity and all of Mr. Minters claims
against Mr. Wiley with prejudice. TransCommunitys
counterclaim against Mr. Minter for breach of fiduciary
duty remains pending.
On December 19, 2007, Mr. Minter filed a new action in
the Circuit Court of the County of Powhatan in Virginia,
purportedly on behalf of TransCommunity, alleging breach of
fiduciary duty and civil conspiracy against defendants Troy A.
Peery, Jr., Robin T. Williams, John J. Sponski, John C.
Watkins and Bruce B. Nolte, all of whom are current or former
directors of TransCommunity. The lawsuit arises out of the same
set of facts as the case dismissed by the court in December,
2007, and seeks damages of $3.35 million. Mr. Minter
has not yet requested service of the lawsuits papers, and
may have filed the lawsuit in an attempt to protect the statute
of limitations. TransCommunity has put its directors and
officers insurance carrier on notice and is evaluating the
allegations and claims. Based on the facts presently known,
TransCommunity believes it has limited liability exposure
arising from this lawsuit.
TransCommunity
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006.
The following discussion and analysis and the related financial
data present a review of TransCommunitys consolidated
operating results for the three-month and nine-month period
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and consolidated
financial condition at September 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006. This discussion and analysis should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto contained in
154
TransCommunitys Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the
Commission on April 16, 2007, and the consolidated
financial statements and notes in the September 31, 2007
Form 10-Q.
Significant
Accounting Policies
TransCommunitys financial position and results of
operations are impacted by managements application of
accounting policies involving judgments made to arrive at the
carrying value of certain assets. In implementing its policies,
management must make estimates and assumptions about the effect
of matters that are inherently less than certain. Actual results
could differ significantly from these estimates which could
materially affect the amounts of TransCommunitys assets,
liabilities, income and expenses. Critical accounting policies
applied by TransCommunity include those that relate to the
allowance for loan losses. For a more detailed discussion on
these critical accounting policies, see Significant
Accounting Policies on
page F-8
of TransCommunitys Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Overview
TransCommunitys results of operations are dependent
primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference
between the interest earned on its assets, primarily its loan
and securities portfolios, and its cost of funds, which consists
of the interest paid on its deposits and borrowings.
TransCommunitys results of operations are also affected by
its provision for loan losses as well as non-interest income and
non-interest expenses. Non-interest expenses consist of employee
compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, insurance,
professional fees, telecommunications and data processing and
other operating expenses.
In addition to the foregoing, results of TransCommunitys
operations, like those of other financial services companies,
are affected by its asset and liability composition, as well as
factors beyond its control, such as general economic conditions
and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government.
Lending activities are affected by the demand for commercial and
retail financing and are thus influenced by interest rates and
other factors affecting the availability of funds. Deposit flows
and costs of funds are influenced by yields available on
competing investments and by general market rates of interest.
In January 2007, TransCommunitys board of directors voted
to consolidate the charters of its four subsidiary banks. This
charter consolidation process was completed on June 29,
2007. In addition, a system conversion with
TransCommunitys core processor was successfully completed
in August 2007. Costs associated with the charter consolidation
process negatively impacted TransCommunitys performance
during the first three quarters of 2007. As TransCommunity
operates under a consolidated charter with a converted system,
TransCommunity expects overhead costs to decline.
In evaluating TransCommunitys financial condition and
operating performance, management focuses on the following:
|
|
|
|
|
increasing loan originations;
|
|
|
|
increasing core deposit balances;
|
|
|
|
preserving TransCommunitys history of strong net interest
margins;
|
|
|
|
retaining high credit standards and low levels of non-performing
assets;
|
|
|
|
maintaining an adequate loan loss reserve;
|
|
|
|
managing interest rate risk;
|
|
|
|
controlling expenses; and
|
|
|
|
ensuring adequate funding for ongoing growth.
|
155
Highlights of TransCommunitys three-month statement of
operations ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the
similar statement in 2006, and the statement of financial
condition dated September 30, 2007, as compared to
December 31, 2006 include the following:
|
|
|
|
|
net loss of $161 thousand was reported versus net income of $98
thousand during the 3rd quarter of 2006;
|
|
|
|
interest income grew $733 thousand, or 19.4%;
|
|
|
|
net interest income increased by $339 thousand, or 14.0%;
|
|
|
|
assets grew $8.3 million, or 3.9% during the quarter, and
$24.6 million, or 12.4%, since December 31, 2006;
|
|
|
|
noninterest expenses increased $339 thousand, or 15%; and
|
|
|
|
provisions for loan losses increased $455 thousand, or 272%.
|
Highlights of TransCommunitys nine-month statement of
operations ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same
period in 2006 include the following:
|
|
|
|
|
yield on earnings assets increased 76 basis points to 8.53%;
|
|
|
|
net interest margin increased 22 basis points to 5.32%;
|
|
|
|
provisions for loan losses increased $823 thousand, or
265%; and
|
|
|
|
noninterest expenses increased $1.6 million, or 24%.
|
Results of Operations. For the quarter
ended September 30, 2007, TransCommunity reported a loss of
$161 thousand, resulting from larger-than-anticipated provisions
to the loan loss reserve in the amount of $622 thousand. During
the third quarter, two commercial loans went into default, each
requiring a significant addition to the loss reserve, and
TransCommunity made further additions to the reserve following
completion of its annual independent loan review. In addition,
the loan portfolio grew more rapidly than forecast during the
third quarter, requiring further additions to the loan loss
reserve.
During 2006, net income for the same period was $98 thousand,
including a net loss from discontinued operations in the amount
of $159 thousand.
Net loss per share for the quarter ended September 30,
2007, both basic and diluted, was $0.04, compared with net
income per share, basic and diluted, of $0.02 for the same
period during 2006.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, net
losses were $767 thousand, including losses from discontinued
operations of $77 thousand, compared with net income of $4
thousand during the same period in 2006. The year-to-date loss
for 2007 can be attributed to the costs associated with the
consolidation of TransCommunitys banking charters,
extraordinary fees charged by TransCommunitys former
external auditors, and larger-than-anticipated additions to the
reserve for loan losses.
Net Interest Income. For the three
months ended September 30, 2007, net interest income
totaled $2.8 million, a $339 thousand, or 14.0%, increase
over TransCommunitys performance for the same period
during 2006. When compared with the previous three-month period
ended June 30, 2007, net interest income increased $108
thousand, or 4.1%.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net interest
income totaled $7.9 million, a $1 million, or 14.6%,
increase over TransCommunitys performance for the same
period during 2006. Average earning assets for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2007 grew 10.3%, to
$198.2 million compared to $179.6 million during the
same period in 2006.
The net interest margin is the net interest income expressed as
a percentage of average earnings assets. For the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2007, the net interest margin
increased 22 basis points from the same period in 2006, to
5.32% from 5.10%. The increase in net interest margin is
attributable to benefits derived from an increase on yields of
earning assets of 76 basis points to 8.53%, while the cost
of interest-bearing liabilities increased 62 basis points,
from 3.47% to 4.09%.
156
Average loans outstanding increased $30.9 million, or
22.3%, to $169.7 million coupled with a 5.1% increase in
yield on average loans to 9.15% for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2007, compared to a yield of 8.71% for the
same period during 2006.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, loan
income of $11.6 million increased approximately 28.2% from
$9.1 million during the same period in 2006.
Management believes that the overall outlook for its net
interest income is positive, although TransCommunity expects to
experience higher deposit costs in future periods. Management
expects commercial loans to continue to grow because of the
focus placed on loan growth throughout TransCommunity.
Loan-related earning assets tend to have a higher spread than
those earned in TransCommunitys investment portfolio.
TransCommunitys consolidated net interest margin compares
favorably with other commercial banks in its market area.
The following table details the net interest income calculations
for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and
2006.

Provision for Loan Losses. For the
three-month period ended September 30, 2007, the provision
for loan losses was $622 thousand, an increase of $455 thousand
over the same period in 2006. Large provisions during the third
quarter are attributable to strong loan growth coupled with
downgraded credits. There were seven commercial loans with
deteriorated credit quality that comprised approximately $500
thousand, or 80% of the 3rd quarter provisions. For the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, the provision
for loan losses was approximately $1,134 thousand, an increase
of $823 thousand over the same period in 2006. At
September 30, 2007, nonperforming assets totaled $1,041
thousand, versus $267 thousand at September 30, 2006.
Asset quality declined slightly since December 31, 2006,
when nonperforming assets equaled $961 thousand. There is no
other real estate owned. Net charge-offs for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 amounted to
158
$628 thousand, versus $126 thousand for the same period in 2006.
The charge-offs are due primarily to loans related to the
discontinued operations of Main Street Mortgage. For the
three-month period ended September 30, 2007, net
charge-offs equaled $92 thousand, versus $101 thousand during
the same period in 2006.
In March, 2007, TransCommunity employed its first chief credit
officer. In June 2007, all credit administration functions were
centralized as part of the consolidation of
TransCommunitys four bank subsidiaries. As part of the
establishment of a centralized credit administration function,
management has engaged in an in-depth analysis of the total loan
portfolio and has made adjustments to individual loan risk
ratings as necessary. In addition, during the third quarter, the
entire loan portfolio was reviewed as part of the annual
independent loan review by an outside consulting firm. As a
result of this ongoing loan review process, management is of the
opinion the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio is
sound, and that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated continually by
management and is based on managements review of the
probability of collection, industry historical experience, the
nature and volume of the loan portfolio, credit concentrations,
adverse conditions that may effect a borrowers ability to
repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and
prevailing economic conditions. An adequate allowance relative
to the quality of the loan portfolio sufficient to meet
anticipated future loan losses is calculated using appropriate
risk factors depending on the type of borrower and whether the
loan is secured or unsecured. Loans that are classified
adversely are assigned a loss reserve based on their risk rating
and liquidation analysis based on present value of estimated
cash flow
and/or
collateral. Unclassified loans are assigned a collective pool
loan loss percentage based on historical peer group data in the
absence of internal company loss history. As
TransCommunitys loan portfolio seasons, the factors will
be adjusted to reflect actual loss experience. The allowance for
loan loss is subjective in the absence of actual, material loss
data and, as such, requires estimates that are susceptible to
periodic revision as conditions change.
Noninterest Income. During the three
months ended September 30, 2007, bank service charges and
other fees of $269 thousand increased 16% from $232 thousand
reported for the same period in 2006. On a year-to-date basis,
noninterest income totaled $832 thousand for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007, an increase of 8.3% from $768
thousand for the same period in 2006. The overall increase in
noninterest income is attributable principally to higher
customer service fees, including those associated with broker
fees and commissions.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest
expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 increased
$339 thousand, or 15%, as compared with the same period in 2006.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007,
noninterest expenses were up by $1.6 million, or 23.7%
compared with the same period in 2006.
The growth in noninterest expense for both the third quarter and
the year-to-date is attributable to the opening of the Bank of
Rockbridge in December 2006, and the costs associated with the
consolidation of TransCommunitys banking charters in June
of 2007.
During 2007, noninterest expenses have declined each quarter,
from $2,918 thousand in the first quarter, to $2,780 thousand in
the second quarter, to $2,573 thousand for the quarter ended
September 30, 2007. This favorable trend reflects the
impact of the recently completed charter consolidation.
TransCommunity expects further decreases in noninterest expenses
during the fourth quarter of 2007.
Segment Information. TransCommunity had
two additional segments in 2006, which were discontinued by
December 31, 2006. Currently, the organization consists
solely of a bank operating under its holding company, which is
essentially a shell corporation. Therefore, current segment
information is not provided.
Financial
Condition
On September 30, 2007, TransCommunity had total assets of
$223 million, up 12.4% from $198.4 million at
December 31, 2006. On September 30, 2007, loans
totaled $189 million, an increase of $37.6 million
since December 31, 2006.
Loans totaled $189 million and $140.5 million at
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This represents
growth of $48.5 million, or an increase of 34.6%. Despite
increased competition, TransCommunitys banks continued to
experience strong loan demand, particularly with
construction-related loans. However,
159
TransCommunity remains focused on maintaining its pricing
discipline and asset quality, and adhering to its conservative
underwriting standards.
During the first nine months of 2007, TransCommunitys
average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 4.09%,
up from 3.47% during the first nine months of 2006. Average
interest-bearing liabilities grew $17.3 million, from
$138.5 million during the first nine months of 2006 to
$155.8 million during the same period in 2007. Total
deposits increased $27 million, or 16.4%, to
$192 million at September 30, 2007, up from
$165 million at December 31, 2006. Noninterest-bearing
deposits increased $2.1 million, or 10.4% since
December 31, 2006. Management views these deposits as a key
source for funding the loan growth. As traditional deposits
become more difficult to obtain, alternative funding sources
will likely result in relatively higher costs.
At September 30, 2007, TransCommunitys capital
position remained strong with an average
equity-to-average
assets ratio of 14.41%. TransCommunity had a leverage ratio of
13.62%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.85% and a
total risk-based capital ratio of 15.09%. At September 30,
2007, the book value of TransCommunitys common stock was
$6.53 per share.
Income
Taxes
No income tax provision has been recorded since, at this time,
there is insufficient evidence to conclude that TransCommunity
will produce taxable income in the future which cannot be offset
by loss carryforwards from the current and prior periods.
However, TransCommunity may owe income taxes in the future,
including those as determined by the alternate minimum tax (AMT)
system. Income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2006,
equaled $15 thousand using AMT calculations, which is available
as a credit to reduce the regular tax liability in future years.
Loans
Total loans increased $23.6 million during the nine months
of 2007 to $189 million.

Allocation
of the Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses consists of an allocated component
and an unallocated component. The allocated component of the
allowance for loan losses reflects expected losses resulting
from analyses developed through specific credit allocations for
individual loans. The unallocated portion of the allowance for
loan losses reflects managements estimate of probable
inherent but not specifically identified losses within the
portfolio. TransCommunitys allocations for the allowance
for loan losses were as follows:

Nonaccrual,
Past Due and Restructured Loans
At September 30, 2007, TransCommunity had $1.0 million
in loans classified as non-accrual or past due more than
90 days. At December 31, 2006, TransCommunity had $961
thousand in loans classified as non-accrual or past due more
than 90 days. Loans are placed in a non-accrual status
when, in the opinion of management, the accrued interest income
will not be collected.
Secured
Borrowings
TransCommunity had recorded secured borrowings in past financial
statements due to the prior accounting treatment on certain loan
participation agreements entered into with third-party financial
institutions since the second quarter of 2004. TransCommunity
discovered that it had incorrectly accounted for loans subject
to these agreements in August 2006. Due to amendments to these
agreements so that they could be properly reported under
applicable accounting standards, TransCommunity has eliminated
the reporting of secured borrowings.
Liquidity
and Interest Sensitivity
At September 30, 2007, TransCommunity had liquid assets of
$20.4 million in the form of cash, federal funds sold and
available-for-sale investments. Management believes that liquid
assets were adequate at September 30, 2007 to meet its
customers deposit and credit needs. Management anticipates
that additional liquidity will be provided by the growth in
deposit accounts and loan repayments at TransCommunity Bank.
TransCommunity Bank also has the ability to purchase overnight
federal funds from a correspondent bank and borrow from the
Federal Reserve Bank, if necessary.
Management is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties
that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on
TransCommunitys short-term or long-term liquidity.
At September 30, 2007, TransCommunity had a positive
cumulative Gap Rate Sensitivity Ratio of 0.46% for the one-year
repricing period. A positive one-year Gap Rate Sensitivity Ratio
reflects managements ability to generate loans and
investment securities that will mature or reprice faster than
interest-bearing deposits in a rising rate environment.
Management constantly monitors the interest rate risk and
believes that the current position is an acceptable risk for a
growing financial services company.

On August 9, 2007, TransCommunity executed an agreement for
the construction of a new branch office located at 1949 Sandy
Hook Road, Goochland, Virginia 23063. This branch will replace
the existing leased facility at Goochland Courthouse. The
agreement, which is in the amount of approximately
$1.4 million, is a fixed price contract that will not be
financed. Monthly payments will be made following a percentage
completion method. Completion is expected in the first quarter
of 2008, and branch personnel will relocate from the nearby
rented space.
Future
Prospects
TransCommunitys loss for the third quarter resulted
primarily from seven deteriorated loans that required additional
provisions to absorb any potential future loss. Profitability
was achieved for a period of time during the third quarter of
2007, and earnings would have been reported if the
higher-than-expected
provisions had not been reserved. TransCommunity successfully
consolidated its four bank charters during the second quarter of
2007, and TransCommunity completed its system conversion in
August 2007. In addition, during the third quarter, a new
contract was negotiated with its data processor. Based on the
current levels of activity and fee structure, TransCommunity
expects to significantly reduce these costs by at least $400,000
annually.
TransCommunitys new consolidated bank and each of its
operating divisions is performing well and producing net
interest margins that compare favorably with the experience of
its peers. Loan demand in each of TransCommunitys markets
remains brisk, and its regulators, its outside loan review firm,
and its own internal loan review process all confirm that the
quality of its loan portfolio remains strong.
TransCommunity conducts business in some of the best markets in
the country. Each of those markets is led by an experienced
banker with significant knowledge of their local market. With
operating costs expected to decline, TransCommunity is poised
for strong growth in the months ahead. Management continues to
seek successful commercial lending officers in its market area
to enhance loan growth and resulting interest and fee income.
The planned merger with Community Bankers will provide
additional capital which will permit management to consider
external expansion on an accelerated basis. The new capital will
also support more rapid rates of internal growth. In addition,
the recent charter consolidation and system conversion prepares
TransCommunity to realize benefits of a streamlined structure.
More information related to the proposed merger can be found in
Note 10 to the financial statement within Part I,
Item 1, and in our
Form 8-K
filed September 6, 2007.
The following discussion provides information about the major
components of the results of operations and financial condition,
liquidity, and capital resources of TransCommunity through
December 31, 2006. This discussion and analysis should be
read in conjunction with TransCommunitys Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. It should also be read in conjunction with A
Warning About Forward Looking Statements.

Overview
During 2006, TransCommunity reported its first net profit of
$117 thousand, versus a loss for the year 2005 of
$1.8 million. TransCommunitys 2006 results thus
represent a
year-over-year
improvement of $1.9 million. Over the same period, income
per share, both basic and diluted, improved from a loss of $0.53
to a profit of $0.03.
Net income from continuing operations totaled $919 thousand for
the year ended 2006 as compared to a loss of $1.3 million
for the year ended 2005, an improvement of $2.3 million.
Over the same period earnings per share from continuing
operations improved $0.61 per share from a loss of $0.41 in 2005
to a gain of $0.20 during 2006.
Operating results for 2006 were impacted by two significant
events. First, during the third quarter of 2006, TransCommunity
determined that it had incorrectly accounted for loans subject
to certain loan participation agreements entered into with
third-party financial institutions. Under the direction of the
audit committee of TransCommunitys board of directors,
TransCommunity completed an evaluation of the manner in which it
accounted for loan participation agreements.
As a result, TransCommunity filed an amendment to its annual
report on
Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 2005. As a result of the
restatement, TransCommunitys period end total loans and
secured borrowings were increased by $12.5 million and
$7.2 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. In addition, interest income on loans and interest
expense on other borrowings were also increased by $550 thousand
and $112 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively. None of the adjustments resulting from the
restatement had any impact on TransCommunitys net worth at
any date or on its net income, net interest income, noninterest
income or noninterest expense for any period.
Second, on November 29, 2006, the board of directors of
TransCommunity directed management to close Main Street
Mortgage, a mortgage brokerage company. Main Street Mortgage had
operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank of Powhatan, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of TransCommunity, since 2001.
At December 31, 2006, TransCommunity had on a consolidated
basis, total assets of $198.4 million, total deposits of
$165.0 million, total loans of $151.4 million and
total stockholders equity of $30.6 million. In
comparison at December 31, 2005 and 2004 TransCommunity
reported total assets of $190.6 million and
$150.3 million, total deposits of $146.6 million and
$123.7 million, total loans of $135.1 million and
$112.1 million and total stockholders equity of
$30.4 million and $14.9 million, respectively.
On February 7, 2007, TransCommunity announced the
consolidation of the charters of TransCommunitys four bank
subsidiaries into a single legal entity. The consolidation of
the bank charters will provide significant financial advantages
for TransCommunitys stockholders, as the costs associated
with operating under multiple charters are reduced or eliminated.
During 2006, TransCommunity continued to experience changes in
its management team and board of directors. During the first
quarter of 2006, Messrs Agee, Crowder, Metts, Minter and J.
Purcell submitted their resignations as directors of
TransCommunity. Acting on the recommendation of
TransCommunitys nominating and governance committee, the
board of directors, appointed a total of six new directors
during 2006, including Messrs. Bozard, Broomall, Claeys,
Miller, D. Purcell and Zoeller. In the fourth quarter of 2006,
and in January, 2007, Messrs Broomall, Claeys, Nuckols and D.
Purcell submitted their resignations as directors of
TransCommunity. Additionally, in January, 2007,
TransCommunitys chief financial officer,
Mr. Littreal, submitted his resignation as an officer of
TransCommunity in order to take a similar position at a larger
organization.
Discontinued
operations
Pursuant to TransCommunitys evaluation of the criteria
specified in SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, it concluded
that its actions to close the operations of the following
segments required disclosure in the consolidated financial
statements as discontinued operations.
In 2006, management continued to implement cost control measures
in its operating units. In November of 2006, the board of
directors approved the closing of Main Street Mortgage. These
measures enable TransCommunity to better align its operations
with its community banking focus.
164
Main Street Mortgage was acquired by the Bank of Powhatan in
2001, had generated revenues of $1.9 million and
$3.9 million in the years 2006 and 2005. Expenses during
the same periods were $2.7 million and $4.0 million.
During 2005, Main Street Mortgage originated residential and
commercial mortgage loans of $162 million, generated gross
revenues of $3.9 million, and incurred net losses of $84
thousand. In 2006, The operations of Main Street Mortgage
resulted in a net loss from discontinued operations of $802
thousand in 2006. Management completed the dissolution of Main
Street Mortgage in the first quarter of 2007.
During 2004, TransCommunity established a financial services
division to enable our subsidiary banks to offer trust banking,
asset management and insurance and securities brokerage services
to TransCommunitys customers. To support these activities,
TransCommunity sought and received regulatory approval to
exercise trust banking powers through each of its subsidiary
banks.
During 2005, losses from financial service activities totaled
$339 thousand. As a result, during the fourth quarter of 2005,
the TransCommunity board of directors voted to discontinue
offering these services in-house and directed management to
establish more cost-effective ways to deliver investment
products. In the first quarter of 2006, TransCommunitys
financial services operations were integrated into its community
banking business segment. See Financial
Services Segment.

Community
Banking Segment
Net income for the community banking segment was
$2.4 million, an increase of $703 thousand over
2005 net income of $1.7 million. Net interest income
grew by $1.6 million, or 22.1%, as a result of increased
loan volumes and higher yields. Deposit interest expense
benefited from relatively low interest rates as a
$17.1 million increase in average deposit balances resulted
in only a $1.6 million increase in interest expense on
deposits. The provision for loan losses increased $227 thousand
largely as a result the growth in TransCommunitys loan
portfolio of $16.3 million. Noninterest income in the
community banking segment increased by $297 thousand to $975
thousand during 2006. Noninterest expense in the community
banking segment increased by $265 thousand, or 4.5%, while
assets grew by $19.1 million, or 10.7%.
Mortgage
Segment
Main Street Mortgages total revenue in 2006 totaled
$1.9 million verses $3.9 million in 2005, a 51.3%
decrease. Losses amounted to $802 thousand compared to $84
thousand in 2005. Confronted with increasing losses, as well as
the difficulty of turning around this non-core business, the
board of directors on November 29, 2006 approved the
closing of Main Street Mortgage. Main Street Mortgage had
operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of Powhatan, which
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TransCommunity, since 2001.
Financial
Services Segment
Due to continued losses in this segment, the board of directors
voted in the fourth quarter of 2005 to cease operations. The
trust department at each of the banks was effectively
discontinued at December 31, 2005 and management
reorganized the remaining financial services during the quarter
ending March 2006 and integrated the remaining Financial
Services operations into the community banking segment. For the
year ending 2005, TransCommunity realized a loss of $339
thousand from this discontinued operation.
Financial
Condition at December 31, 2006
During the year ended December 31, 2006,
TransCommunitys assets increased by $7.8 million, or
4.1%, to 198.4 million. Of this increase in total assets,
$8.8 million represented growth in interest-earning assets,
while non-interest bearing assets declined by $1.0 million.
Continued strong loan demand throughout the year resulted in an
increase of $16.3 million, or 12.1%, in total loans
outstanding.
During 2006, investment securities increased by
$3.8 million to $35.0 million.
Loan growth in 2006 was concentrated in the commercial and
industrial and real estate lending portfolios.
TransCommunitys total loan growth of $16.3 million in
2006 was the result of an $11.1 million or 54.8% increase
in commercial and industrial loans from $20.2 million to
$31.3 million, and a $4.3 million or 4.0% increase
from $106.6 million to $110.9 million in real estate
loans.
Customer deposits continue to be TransCommunitys primary
funding source. TransCommunitys deposits are primarily
generated through its community banks. At December 31,
2006, deposits totaled $165.0 million, an increase of
$18.4 million or 12.5% from year-end 2005. Time deposits
increased $23.5 million. This increase of
$23.5 million was offset by a reduction of
$8.3 million in interest bearing demand deposits and
$12.5 million in securitized borrowings during 2006.
TransCommunitys capital position remains strong, with all
of its regulatory capital ratios at levels that categorize
TransCommunity as well capitalized under bank
regulatory capital guidelines. At December 31, 2006,
TransCommunitys stockholder equity totaled
$30.6 million, an increase of $200 thousand from the
December 31, 2005 balance. This increase in stockholder
equity is primarily the result of TransCommunity achieving a net
profit for 2006.
Net
Interest Income
Like most financial institutions, the primary component of
TransCommunitys earnings is net interest income. Net
interest income is the difference between interest income,
principally from loans and investments, and interest
166
expense, principally on customer deposits and borrowings.
Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume and
changes in interest rates earned and paid. By volume,
TransCommunity means the average dollar level of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Spread
refers to the difference between the average yield on
interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities, and margin refers to net interest income divided by
average interest-earning assets. Spread and margin are
influenced by the levels and relative mix of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as by levels of
noninterest-bearing liabilities. During the years ended
December 31, 2006 and 2005, TransCommunitys average
interest-earning assets were $181.1 million, and
$158.5 million, respectively. During these same years,
TransCommunitys net interest margins were 5.14% and 4.68%,
respectively.
Average Balances and Average Rates Earned and
Paid. The table contained in Schedule I
on page sets forth, for the years 2006, 2005
and 2004, information with regard to average balances of assets
and liabilities, as well as the total dollar amounts of interest
income from interest-earning assets and interest expense on
interest-bearing liabilities, resultant yields or costs, net
interest income, net interest spread, net interest margin and
ratio of average interest-earning assets to average
interest-bearing liabilities. Average loans include nonaccruing
loans, the effect of which is to lower the average yield.
Results
of Operations
Net Income. TransCommunitys net
income for 2006 was $117 thousand, an improvement of
$1.9 million and $2.7 million from net losses of
$1.8 million and $2.6 million in 2005 and 2004,
respectively. Net income per share, both basic and diluted, was
$0.03 for the year ended December 31, 2006, reflecting per
share increases of $0.56 and $1.25 when compared to per share
losses of $0.53 and $1.22 per share for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Total assets
averaged $192.1 million during 2006 as compared to
$170.3 million in 2005, an increase of $21.8 million
or 12.8%. Total average assets increased $67.4 million or
54.1% when comparing 2006 to 2004.
During 2006, the prime rate increased 100 basis points, and
TransCommunity benefited from its asset sensitive balance sheet
position. While it is managements goal to remain
relatively interest rate neutral, TransCommunity is currently
asset sensitive and does benefit from a rising interest rate
environment. As a result of TransCommunitys continued
growth in interest-earning assets during 2006, combined with
slower growth in funding costs and rising interest rates, its
net interest income increased $1.9 million, or 25.3% from
the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended
December 31, 2006.
During 2005, TransCommunity continued to experience strong
growth at each of its subsidiary banks and TransCommunity was
able to raise sufficient capital to support its growth strategy.
Total assets averaged $170.3 million during 2005 as
compared to $124.6 million in 2004, an increase of
$45.7 million or 36.7%. During 2005, the prime rate
increased 200 basis points. As a result of
TransCommunitys growth in interest-earning assets during
2005, combined with low funding costs and rising interest rates,
TransCommunitys net interest income increased
$2.5 million, or 52.1% during that year. The growth in
TransCommunitys non-interest expense during 2005 included
some non-recurring restructuring related costs, which totaled
$302 thousand or $0.09 per share.
In absolute terms, TransCommunitys net interest income
after the provision for loan losses increased by
$1.7 million or 23.1%, when comparing 2006 to 2005, while
its non-interest income grew by $220 thousand and its
non-interest expense decreased by $401 thousand. When comparing
2005 to 2004, TransCommunitys net interest income after
the provision for loan losses increased by $2.8 million,
while its non-interest income grew by $29 thousand from
continuing operations. However, this income growth was largely
offset by the increase in non-interest expenses from continuing
operations of $1.9 million arising from increased salaries
and benefits. Additional details on these components of net
income are described below.
Net Interest
Income. TransCommunitys net interest
income increased to $9.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2006, an increase of $1.9 million, or
25.3%, over net interest income for 2005. TransCommunitys
growth in interest income was the result of growth in its level
of average earning assets as well as continued strong loan
demand. Average total interest-earning assets increased
$22.6 million or 14.3%, during 2006 as compared to 2005,
while TransCommunitys average yield increased by
101 basis points from 6.88% during 2005 to 7.89%
167
during 2006. The interest rates earned on a significant portion
of TransCommunitys loans adjust immediately when index
rates such as TransCommunitys prime rate changes.
Conversely, most of TransCommunitys interest-bearing
liabilities, including certificates of deposit and borrowings,
have rates fixed until maturity. As a result, interest rate
increases generally result in an immediate increase in
TransCommunitys interest income on loans. There is a
delayed impact on interest expense because 64.4% of
TransCommunitys average interest-bearing deposits were
classified as time deposits, which only experience increases in
interest costs upon renewal.
TransCommunitys average total interest-bearing liabilities
increased by $11.4 million, or 8.9%, from 2005 to 2006.
With rates consistently increasing during 2006,
TransCommunitys average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities increased by 84 basis points from 2.73% during
2005 to 3.57% during 2006, allowing TransCommunitys
interest rate spread to increase by 17 basis points.
TransCommunitys average total interest-bearing liabilities
increased by $35.1 million, or 37.7%, from 2004 to 2005.
With rates consistently increasing during 2005,
TransCommunitys average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities increased by 59 basis points from 2.14% during
2004 to 2.73% during 2005, allowing TransCommunitys
interest rate spread to increase 33 basis points.
During 2005, TransCommunitys net interest income increased
by $2.5 million, or 52.1%, to $7.4 million, when
compared to 2004. TransCommunitys growth in interest
income for 2005 was the result of growth in its level of average
earning assets as well as continued strong loan demand. Average
total interest-earning assets increased $43.2 million or
37.5%, during 2005 as compared to 2004, while
TransCommunitys average yield increased by 92 basis
points from 5.96% during 2004 to 6.88% in 2005. For 2005, 58.9%
of TransCommunitys average interest-bearing deposits were
classified as time deposits.
TransCommunitys investment income and interest expense for
2005 was impacted by the July 2005 stock offering in which
TransCommunity completed the sale of 2.3 million shares of
its common stock. A portion of the net proceeds from that
offering was used to repay the outstanding principal balance of
$1.45 million and accrued interest on TransCommunitys
operating line of credit. TransCommunity used $3.3 million
of the proceeds from that offering to strengthen the capital
position of two of its subsidiary banks, which improved their
respective lending limits.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, TransCommunitys
net interest spread was 4.32% and its net interest margin was
5.14%. For the year ended December 31, 2005,
TransCommunitys net interest spread was 4.15% and its net
interest margin was 4.68%. For the year ended December 31,
2004, TransCommunitys net interest spread was 3.82% and
its net interest margin was 4.23%.
Provision for Loan
Losses. TransCommunity recorded a $493
thousand provision for loan losses for the year ended
December 31, 2006, representing an increase of $227
thousand from the $266 thousand provision expense for 2005, but
less than the $549 thousand recorded in 2004. The level of the
loan loss provision for these years is consistent with loan
growth and net charge-offs that TransCommunity experienced.
Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring
TransCommunitys allowance for loan losses at period end to
a level deemed appropriate by management based on the factors
discussed under Asset Quality
Allowance for Loan Losses. While the dollar amount of the
provision for loan losses increased on a
year-over-year
basis, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to
period-ending total loans only increased 17 basis points
from 1.19% to 1.36%. Nonperforming loans totaled $961 thousand
or 0.6% of total loans at December 31, 2006. Nonperforming
loans totaled $165 thousand or 0.12% of total loans at
December 31, 2005. TransCommunity reported no nonperforming
loans at December 31, 2004.
The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2006 of
$2.1 million represents 1.36% of total loans and 214.9% of
nonperforming loans. The allowance for loan losses at
December 31, 2005 of $1.6 million equaled 1.19% of
total loans outstanding at that date.
Non-Interest Income. For the year ended
December 31, 2006, non-interest income from continuing
operations increased $220 thousand, or 27.7%, to
$1.0 million from $800 thousand for the prior year. The
increase in non-interest income resulted primarily from an
increase in service charges and fees on deposit accounts.
168
For the year ended December 31, 2005, non-interest income
from continuing operations increased slightly over the amount
for 2004. Service charges and fees on deposit accounts increased
by 3.8%, to $791 thousand during 2005.
Non-Interest Expense. TransCommunity
strives to maintain non-interest expenses at levels that
TransCommunity believes are appropriate given the nature of its
operations and the need to invest in personnel and facilities to
support its growth. TransCommunitys ratio of non-interest
expenses from continuing operations to average total assets
during 2006 declined to 4.65% as compared to 5.48% during 2005.
TransCommunity was better able to control non-interest expense
during the year despite its continued growth. For the year ended
December 31, 2006, non-interest expense decreased $401
thousand, or 4.3%, over 2005. Salary and employee benefits
expense decreased $407 thousand, or 8.0%, including (1) the
non-recurring restructuring charges in 2005 and 2006,
(2) pre-opening expenses at the Bank of Rockbridge,
(3) merit adjustments to salaries and (4) increased
benefit costs. Net occupancy expense increased $75 thousand, or
12.2%, reflecting the expenses associated with
TransCommunitys normal operations.
The following table summarizes the changes in
TransCommunitys non-interest expenses over the past two
years.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, TransCommunitys
non-interest expense increased $1.9 million, or 26.1%, over
2004. Salary and employee benefits expense increased
$1.1 million, or 28.1%, including (1) the
non-recurring restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of
2005, (2) personnel costs at the proposed Bank of
Rockbridge, (3) merit adjustments to salaries and
(4) increased benefit costs. Net occupancy expense
increased $112 thousand during 2005, or 22.3%, reflecting the
expenses associated with TransCommunitys normal operations
and the Bank of Rockbridge building lease agreement.
Income Taxes. At December 31,
2006, TransCommunity had total net operating loss, or NOL,
carryforwards of $7.5 million, which begin to expire in
2021. For 2006, the Company utilized $1 million of the NOL
carryforward to offset taxable income. Under the Alternative
Minimum Tax, or AMT, system, the utilization of an AMT NOL
carryover is limited to 90% of the AMT taxable income. This
limitation resulted in an AMT tax liability of $15 thousand,
which has been recorded in this years statement of
operations. This AMT is available as a credit to reduce regular
tax liability in future years, The AMT credit carryover is
included in deferred tax assets, subject to the valuation
allowance discussed below. Under Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code, if a corporation undergoes an
ownership change (generally defined as a greater
than 50% change in its equity ownership over a three-year
period), the corporations ability to use its pre-ownership
change net operating loss carryforwards and certain other
pre-ownership change tax attributes against its post-ownership
change income may be limited. The stock offerings consummated in
July 2005, and in 2002 were ownership changes which
triggered Section 382 and limits the annual utilization of
pre-ownership change net operating losses in post-ownership
change years. To the extent the NOL limitation amount in any
taxable year exceeds TransCommunitys taxable income in
that year, the excess can be carried over effectively to
increase the limitation in the next succeeding year or years.
Given that none of TransCommunitys NOLs begin to expire
until 2021, TransCommunity believes it will be able to fully
utilize its NOLs prior to their respective expiration dates.
Management will continue to monitor TransCommunitys trend
169
toward profitable operations and when sufficient evidence of
future taxable income becomes available, it will reduce the
valuation allowance and recognize the related tax benefit in the
statement of operations. See Note 12 of the notes to
TransCommunitys consolidated financial statements
elsewhere in this annual report for information concerning
TransCommunitys NOLs.
At December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005,
TransCommunity had NOL carryforwards of $7.5 million and
$8.5 million, respectively. No provision for income tax
benefits associated with these NOLs has been recorded in the
statement of operations since there is insufficient evidence to
conclude that TransCommunity would produce taxable income in the
future. Accordingly, the deferred tax asset related to the tax
loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets have been fully
reduced by a valuation allowance.
Investment
Portfolio
TransCommunity currently manages its investment securities
portfolio consistent with established policies that include
guidelines for Investment quality, rate sensitivity, liquidity
and pledging needs on a bank by bank basis. This investment
function will be centralized under the proposed centralization
of operations and charter collapsing process. The aggregate
investment portfolio approximates 115% of TransCommunitys
consolidated stockholders equity.
TransCommunity accounts for securities under FASB Statement
No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities. This standard requires classification of
investments into three categories, held to maturity,
or HTM, available for sale, or AFS, or
trading, as further defined in Note 1 to
TransCommunitys Consolidated Financial Statements for the
year ended December 31, 2006. TransCommunity does not
maintain a trading account and has classified no securities in
this category. HTM securities are required to be carried on the
financial statements at amortized cost. AFS securities are
carried on the financial statements at fair value. The
unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred income taxes, are
reflected in stockholders equity. The HTM classification
places restrictions on TransCommunitys ability to sell
securities or to transfer securities into the AFS
classification. At December 31, 2006, 61.2% of the
portfolio was classified as HTM.
TransCommunity holds in its loan and securities portfolios,
investments that adjust or float according to changes in
prime lending rate. These holdings are not
considered speculative but instead necessary for good
asset/liability management.
The carrying value of the securities portfolio was
$35.0 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of
$3.8 million or 11.9% from the carrying value of
$31.2 million at December 31, 2005. The market value
of the AFS securities at December 31, 2006 was
$13.6 million. The unrealized loss on the AFS securities
was $40,000 at December 31, 2006. The reduction in the net
market value loss at December 31, 2006 is reflective of the
continued rise in market interest rates.
Since TransCommunity Bank anticipates much of the balance sheet
growth to be experienced during 2007, if any, to be in the form
of net portfolio loans, specific strategies will be executed
during the early part of 2007 to maintain the investment
portfolio at an amount comparable to the December 31, 2006
balances.

Concentration
of Credit Risk
TransCommunity has a concentration of loans to borrowers secured
by commercial real estate. At December 31, 2006, loans to
these borrowers amounted to $60.6 million, or 40.0% of
TransCommunitys consolidated loan portfolio. This compares
with $65.5 million and $48.7 million and 48.5% and
43.4% for the years 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Asset
Quality Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses represents managements
estimate of the amount deemed adequate to provide for potential
losses in the loan portfolio. Among other factors, management
considers TransCommunitys historical loss experience, the
size and composition of the loan portfolio, the value and
adequacy of collateral and guarantors, non-performing credits
and current and anticipated economic conditions. There are
additional risks of future loan losses, which cannot be
precisely quantified nor attributed to particular loans or
classes of loans. Because those risks include general economic
trends as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the
allowance for loan losses is an estimate. The allowance is also
subject to regulatory examinations and determination as to
adequacy, which may take into account such factors as the
methodology used to calculate the allowance and size of the
allowance in comparison to peer companies identified by
regulatory agencies.
Management maintains a list of loans which have a potential
weakness that may need special attention. This list is used to
monitor such loans and is used in the determination of the
sufficiency of TransCommunitys allowance for loan losses.
As of December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was
$2.1 million, or 1.36% of total loans, as compared to
$1.6 million and $1.4 million, or 1.19%, and $1.25% in
2005 and 2004, respectively.

Nonperforming
Assets
At December 31, 2006, TransCommunity had $961 thousand in
nonperforming loans. At December 31, 2005 and 2004,
TransCommunity had $165 thousand and $0, respectively, of loans
classified as nonperforming. Loans are placed on nonaccrual
status when, in the opinion of management, the collection of
principal and interest are considered to be doubtful. No
interest is accrued on loans placed in a nonaccrual status, and
any unpaid interest previously accrued on such loans is reversed
when a loan is placed in nonaccrual status.
The following table contains nonperforming asset information as
of the dates indicated.

Allocation
of the Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses consists of an allocated component
and an unallocated component. The allocated component of the
allowance for loan losses reflects expected losses resulting
from analyses developed through specific allocations for
individual loans. The unallocated portion of the allowance
reflects managements estimate of probable inherent but not
specifically identified losses within the portfolio.
The following table shows the allocation of the allowance for
loan losses at December 31:

Premises
and Equipment
Premises and equipment decreased to $6.7 million at
December 31, 2006 from $6.8 million at
December 31, 2005, but was up from $6.1 million at
December 31, 2004. This decrease for 2006 was primarily
attributable to the depreciation of assets.
Deposits
TransCommunitys deposits increased $18.4 million, or
12.5% during 2006. A schedule of time deposits by scheduled
maturity is shown in TransCommunitys consolidated balance
sheets. Time deposits of $100,000 or more equaled 45.0% of total
time deposits at December 31, 2006.

Capital
On July 22, 2005, TransCommunity completed the sale of
2.3 million shares of its common stock at $8.00 per share
in a registered public offering to a limited number of
institutional investors. The minimum share purchase in the
offering was 25,000 shares. The offering was made through a
firm commitment underwriting in which Sandler ONeill
served as the sole manager. TransCommunity received net proceeds
from the offering of approximately $16.8 million after
deducting underwriting discounts and expenses. A portion of the
net proceeds from the offering was used to repay the outstanding
principal balance of $1.45 million and accrued interest on
TransCommunitys line of credit. TransCommunity utilized
$8.0 million, to provide the initial capital for Bank of
Rockbridge, a new bank TransCommunity established in Rockbridge
County, Virginia. Additionally, TransCommunity used
$3.3 million of the proceeds from that offering to
strengthen the capital position of two of its subsidiary banks.
The remaining proceeds were used to accommodate future growth
and for general corporate purposes, which included, among other
things, operating expenses of the holding company headquarters.
The Federal Reserve, the Comptroller of the Currency, the FDIC
and the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the Virginia State
Corporation Commission have adopted risk-based capital measures
for regulatory purposes to assist in the assessment of capital
adequacy. Management seeks to balance the return on equity to
stockholders while satisfying the regulatory standards for
risk-based capital ratios. Management believes, as of
December 31, 2006, that TransCommunity and each of its
subsidiary banks met all of the minimum regulatory capital
requirements and are categorized as well
capitalized. At December 31, 2006, TransCommunity had
a leverage ratio of 15.86%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio of 17.16% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 18.32%.
The book value of TransCommunity common stock at
December 31, 2006 was $6.67 per share.

Liquidity
and Interest Sensitivity
Liquidity measures whether an entity has sufficient
cash flow to meet its financial obligation and commitments on a
timely basis. TransCommunity is liquid when it has the cash
available to meet borrowing and cash withdrawal requirements of
customers and it can pay for current and planned expenditures
and satisfy its debt obligations.
TransCommunity funds loan demand and operation expenses from
four primary sources:
|
|
|
|
|
Net Income.
|
|
|
|
Deposits. TransCommunity can offer new products or change its
rate structure in order to increase deposits. In 2006
TransCommunity generated $18.4 million in deposit growth.
|
|
|
|
Sale of securities and overnight funds. At year-end 2006
TransCommunity had $13.6 million in securities designated
available for sale.
|
|
|
|
Borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.
|
TransCommunitys management believes that its current level
of liquidity is sufficient to meet its current and anticipated
operational needs including current loan commitments, deposit
maturities and other obligations.

At December 31, 2006, TransCommunity had $53.3 million
of off-balance sheet credit exposure in the form of
$48.3 million of commitments and $5.0 million of
standby letters of credit. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require
payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may
expire without being drawn upon. Standby letters of credit are
conditional commitments issued by TransCommunity to guarantee
the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
TransCommunity generally holds collateral supporting those
commitments if deemed necessary.
Interest
Rate Risk
Closely related to the concept of liquidity is the concept of
interest rate sensitivity (i.e., the extent to which assets and
liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates).
Interest rate sensitivity is often measured by the extent to
which mismatches or gaps occur in the repricing of
assets and liabilities within a given period. Gap analysis is
utilized to quantify such mismatches. A positive gap
results when the amount of earning assets repricing within a
given time period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing
liabilities repricing within that time period. A
negative gap results when the amount of
interest-bearing liabilities repricing within a given time
period exceeds the amount of earning assets repricing within
such time period.
TransCommunitys potential interest rate volatility is a
primary component of its market risk. Fluctuations in interest
rates will ultimately impact the level of income and expense
recorded on a large portion of TransCommunitys assets and
liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning
assets, other than those which possess a short term to maturity.
Based upon TransCommunitys nature of operations,
TransCommunity is not subject to foreign currency exchange.
TransCommunity does not own any trading assets and does not have
any hedging transactions in place, such as interest rate swaps
and caps.
TransCommunity monitors and controls interest rate risk through
a variety of techniques, including use of traditional interest
rate sensitivity analysis (also known as gap
analysis). Traditional gap analysis involves arranging
TransCommunitys interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities by repricing periods and then
computing the difference (or interest rate sensitivity
gap) between the assets and liabilities that are estimated
to reprice during each time period and cumulatively through the
end of each time period.
Both interest rate sensitivity modeling and gap analysis are
done at a specific point in time and involve a variety of
significant estimates and assumptions. Interest rate sensitivity
modeling requires, among other things, estimates of how much and
when yields and costs on individual categories of
interest-earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities will respond to general changes in market rates,
future cash flows and discount rates.
Gap analysis requires estimates as to when individual categories
of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities will reprice, and
assumes that assets and liabilities assigned to the same
repricing period will reprice at the same time and in the same
amount. Gap analysis does not account for the fact that
repricing of assets and liabilities is discretionary and subject
to competitive and other pressures.
The schedule on the following page does not necessarily indicate
the impact of general interest rate movements on
TransCommunitys net interest income because the repricing
of certain categories of assets and liabilities, for example,
prepayments of loans and withdrawal of deposits, is beyond
TransCommunitys control. As a result, certain assets and
liabilities indicated as repricing within a stated period may in
fact reprice at different times and at different levels.

Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument
arising from adverse changes in market rates or prices such as
interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity
prices and equity prices. TransCommunitys primary market
risk exposure is interest rate risk. The ongoing monitoring and
management of this risk is an important component of
TransCommunitys asset/liability management process. The
board of directors of each bank delegates responsibility for
carrying out asset/liability management policies to the
Asset/Liability Committee, or ALCO, of TransCommunity Bank. In
this capacity, ALCO develops guidelines and strategies that
govern TransCommunitys asset/liability management related
activities, based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy
limits, and overall market interest rate levels and trends.
Under the new consolidated entity, it is anticipated that this
function will be consolidated into the single banks
operations and the board will establish the same type of ALCO
committee to operate for the consolidated investment portfolio
using the currently existing guidelines and procedures used by
each separately chartered bank.
Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to
changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the
interest income and expense streams associated with
TransCommunitys financial instruments also change,
affecting net interest income, the primary component of
TransCommunitys earnings. The flat yield curve that
currently exists, has existed now for several years and has
forced the banks ALCO committees to focus on maintaining a
short maturity highly liquid portfolio with a high level of
floating investments. This portfolio structure is also necessary
to maintain the liquidity for a growing loan portfolio
experienced by TransCommunity
179
Bank. The chart below summarized the estimated impact on net
interest income from interest rate changes as listed based on
earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the years
ended 2006 and 2005.

As market conditions vary from those currently being
experienced, the banks, and in the future the consolidated bank,
will monitor and make appropriate adjustments to the investment
portfolio to address these changes to include, but not be
limited to, increasing the duration on the portfolio and
converting a larger portion of TransCommunitys investment
portfolio from floating to fixed rates.
SUPERVISION
AND REGULATION
General
The following discussion sets forth some of the material
elements of the regulatory framework applicable to bank holding
companies and their subsidiaries and provides some specific
information that is currently relevant to BOE and Bank of Essex
and will be relevant to Community Bankers following the merger.
Other laws and regulations that govern various aspects of the
operations of banks and bank holding companies are not described
herein, although violations of such laws and regulations could
result in supervisory enforcement action against a holding
company, Bank of Essex or directors, officers and employees of
each. The regulatory framework is intended primarily for the
protection of depositors and the Federal Deposit Insurance Fund
and not for the protection of security holders. To the extent
that the following information describes statutory and
regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions.
In the future, a change in applicable statutes, regulations or
regulatory policy may have a material effect on Community
Bankers
and/or Bank
of Essex.
Holding
Company Regulation and Structure
Upon Federal Reserve approval Community Bankers will be a
registered bank holding company under the bank holding company
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Community Bankers will
also be subject to regulation and supervision by the Bureau of
Financial Institutions of the Virginia State Corporation
Commission.
Currently, BOE is and Community Bankers, following the merger,
will be subject to regulation under the BHCA and the examination
and reporting requirements of the Federal Reserve System. Under
the BHCA, a bank holding company may not directly or indirectly
acquire ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting
shares or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or merge
or consolidate with another bank holding company, without the
prior approval of the Federal Reserve.
The BHCA also limits the activities of a bank holding company
and its subsidiaries to that of banking, managing or controlling
banks, or any other activity that is determined to be so closely
related to banking or to managing or controlling banks that an
exception is allowed for those activities. Under the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or GLBA, however, qualifying bank
holding companies may elect to be financial holding
companies and to
180
engage in a wider variety of activities, provided that each
depository institution subsidiary of a financial holding company
remains well capitalized and well managed.
Community Bankers has filed an election with the Federal Reserve
to be a financial holding company upon consummation of the
proposed transaction. As a financial holding company Community
Bankers would be permitted to engage in a greater array of
activities than a bank holding company, such as securities
activities such as underwriting, dealing, and brokerage,
investment and merchant banking, and insurance underwriting,
sales and brokerage activities.
The Bureau of Financial Institutions of the Virginia State
Corporation Commission and Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
conduct regular examinations of Bank of Essex, reviewing such
matters as the adequacy of loan loss reserves, quality of loans
and investments, management practices, compliance with laws, and
other aspects of their operations. In addition to these regular
examinations, Bank of Essex must furnish the Bureau of Financial
Institutions of the Virginia State Corporation Commission and
the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond with periodic reports
containing a full and accurate statement of its affairs.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act of 1999
The GLBA enables qualifying bank holding companies to acquire
insurance companies and securities firms and effectively repeals
depression-era laws that prohibited the affiliation of banks and
other financial services entities under a single holding company.
Qualifying bank holding companies may elect to become financial
holding companies under the GLBA. Financial holding companies
are permitted to engage in activities considered financial in
nature, as defined in GLBA, and may engage in a substantially
broader range of activities than bank holding companies or
banks. The GLBA enables financial holding companies to offer
virtually any type of financial service, or services incident to
financial services, including banking, securities underwriting,
insurance underwriting and making merchant banking investments
in commercial and financial companies.
Financial services authorized by the GLBA also may be engaged in
by a financial subsidiary of a national or state
bank, with the exception of insurance or annuity underwriting,
insurance company portfolio investments, real estate investment
and development, and merchant banking, all of which must be
conducted under the financial holding company. In addition, the
GLBA allows insurers and other financial services companies to
acquire banks; removes various restrictions that applied to bank
holding company ownership of securities firms and mutual fund
advisory companies; and establishes the overall regulatory
structure applicable to bank holding companies that also engage
in insurance and securities operations.
To become a financial holding company, a bank holding company
must provide notice to the Federal Reserve of its desire to
become a financial holding company, and certify to the Federal
Reserve that it and each of its bank subsidiaries is
well-capitalized, well-managed and has
at least a satisfactory rating under the Community
Reinvestment Act (CRA). In the first quarter of
2004, TransCommunity has elected to be treated as a financial
holding company under the GLBA.
The GLBA establishes a system of functional regulation, under
which the Federal Reserve will regulate the banking activities
of financial holding companies and other federal regulators will
regulate banks financial subsidiaries. The SEC regulates
securities activities of financial holding companies and state
insurance regulators will regulate their business activities.
The GLBA also provides new protections against the transfer and
use by financial institutions of consumers non-public,
personal information.
The GLBA also modifies other current financial laws, including
laws related to financial privacy and community reinvestment.
The new financial privacy provisions generally prohibit
financial institutions, including BOE, from disclosing nonpublic
personal financial information to nonaffiliated third persons
unless customers have the opportunity to opt out of
the disclosure.
In accordance with Federal Reserve regulations promulgated under
the GLBA, Bank of Essex is required to disclose its policies for
collecting and protecting confidential information. Customers
generally may prevent Bank of Essex from sharing nonpublic
personal financial information with nonaffiliated third parties
except under narrow
181
circumstances, such as the processing of transactions requested
by the consumer or when the financial institution is jointly
sponsoring a product or service with a nonaffiliated third
party. Additionally, Bank of Essex generally may not disclose
consumer account numbers to any nonaffiliated third party for
use in telemarketing, direct mail marketing or other marketing
to consumers.
FDIC
Insurance
Deposits at Bank of Essex are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to the limits set
forth under applicable law, including coverage for certain
retirement accounts of up to $250,000. The deposits of these
banks are subject to the deposit insurance assessments of the
Deposit Insurance Fund, or DIF, of the FDIC.
Each insured institution is assigned to one of four risk
categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital
levels and certain other factors. An institutions
assessment rate depends upon the category to which it is
assigned. Risk Category I, which contains the least risky
depository institutions, is expected to include more than 90% of
all institutions. Unlike the other categories, Risk Category I
contains further risk differentiation based on the FDICs
analysis of financial ratios, examination component ratings and
other information. Assessment rates are determined by the FDIC
and currently range from five to seven basis points for the
healthiest institutions (Risk Category I) to 43 basis
points of assessable deposits for the riskiest (Risk Category
IV). The FDIC may adjust rates uniformly from one quarter to the
next, except that no single adjustment can exceed three basis
points.
Interstate
Banking
Federal law permits bank holding companies from any state to
acquire banks and bank holding companies located in any other
state, subject to certain conditions, including nation-wide and
state-imposed concentration limits. Banks are also able to
branch across state lines, provided certain conditions are met,
including that applicable state laws expressly permit such
interstate branching. Virginia has adopted legislation that
permits branching across state lines, provided there is
reciprocity with the state in which the
out-of-state
bank is located. After a bank has established branches in a
state through an interstate merger transaction, the bank may
establish and acquire additional branches at any location in the
state where a bank headquartered in that state could have
established or acquired branches under the applicable federal or
state law.
Capital
Requirements
Banking regulatory agencies have issued risk-based and leverage
capital guidelines applicable to banking organizations which
they supervise. Under the risk-based capital guidelines of the
federal regulatory agencies, BOE and Bank of Essex are required
to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted
assets of at least 8% and a minimum Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets of at least 4%. Following the merger,
Community Bankers will be required to comply with this capital
requirement. At least half of total capital is required to be
composed of common equity, retained earnings and qualifying
perpetual preferred stock, less certain intangibles and other
adjustments (Tier 1 capital). The remainder (Tier 2
capital) may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt
and other qualifying debt (including certain hybrid capital
instruments), and a limited amount of the loan loss reserve. As
of September 30, 2007, Bank of Essex was considered well
capitalized under the regulatory guidelines of the Federal
Reserve.
In addition, the Federal Reserve has established minimum
leverage capital ratio guidelines for bank holding companies.
These requirements provide for a minimum leverage ratio of
tier 1 capital to adjusted average quarterly assets less
certain amounts (leverage ratio) equal to 3% for
bank holding companies that are rated a composite 1
and 4% for all other bank holding companies that meet certain
criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating. The
risk-based capital guidelines of the federal regulatory agencies
explicitly identify concentrations of credit risk and the risk
arising from non-traditional activities, as well as an
institutions ability to manage these risks, as important
factors to be taken into account by the agencies in assessing an
institutions overall capital adequacy. The capital
guidelines also provide that an institutions exposure to a
decline in the economic value of its capital due to changes in
interest rates be considered by the agency as a factor in
evaluating a banking organizations capital adequacy.
182
Prompt
Corrective Action
As an insured depository institution, the Bank of Essex also is
required to comply with the capital requirements promulgated
under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the Federal
Reserves prompt corrective action regulations thereunder,
which set forth five capital categories, each with specific
regulatory consequences. Under these regulations, the categories
are:
|
|
|
|
|
Well Capitalized The institution exceeds the
required minimum level for each relevant capital measure. A well
capitalized institution is one (i) having a total capital
ratio of 10% or greater, (ii) having a tier 1 capital
ratio of 6% or greater, (iii) having a leverage capital
ratio of 5% or greater and (iv) that is not subject to any
order or written directive to meet and maintain a specific
capital level for any capital measure.
|
|
|
|
Adequately Capitalized The institution meets the
required minimum level for each relevant capital measure. No
capital distribution may be made that would result in the
institution becoming undercapitalized. An adequately capitalized
institution is one (i) having a total capital ratio of 8%
or greater, (ii) having a tier 1 capital ratio of 4%
or greater and (iii) having a leverage capital ratio of 4%
or greater or a leverage capital ratio of 3% or greater if the
institution is rated composite 1 under the CAMELS (Capital,
Assets, Management, Earnings, Liquidity and Sensitivity to
market risk) rating system.
|
|
|
|
Undercapitalized The institution fails to meet the
required minimum level for any relevant capital measure. An
undercapitalized institution is one (i) having a total
capital ratio of less than 8% or (ii) having a tier 1
capital ratio of less than 4% or (iii) having a leverage
capital ratio of less than 4%, or if the institution is rated a
composite 1 under the CAMEL rating system, a leverage capital
ratio of less than 3%.
|
|
|
|
Significantly Undercapitalized The institution is
significantly below the required minimum level for any relevant
capital measure. A significantly undercapitalized institution is
one (i) having a total capital ratio of less than 6% or
(ii) having a tier 1 capital ratio of less than 3% or
(iii) having a leverage capital ratio of less than 3%.
|
|
|
|
Critically Undercapitalized The institution fails to
meet a critical capital level set by the appropriate federal
banking agency. A critically undercapitalized institution is one
having a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal
to or less than 2%.
|
If the Federal Reserve determines, after notice and an
opportunity for hearing, that the bank is in an unsafe or
unsound condition, the regulator is authorized to reclassify the
bank to the next lower capital category (other than critically
undercapitalized) and require the submission of a plan to
correct the unsafe or unsound condition.
If the Bank of Essex is not well capitalized, it cannot accept
brokered deposits without prior FDIC approval and, if approval
is granted, cannot offer an effective yield in excess of
75 basis points on interests paid on deposits of comparable
size and maturity in such institutions normal market area
for deposits accepted from within its normal market area, or
national rate paid on deposits of comparable size and maturity
for deposits accepted outside the banks normal market
area. Moreover, if the Bank of Essex becomes less than
adequately capitalized, it must adopt a capital restoration plan
acceptable to the Federal Reserve that is subject to a limited
performance guarantee by the corporation. The bank also would
become subject to increased regulatory oversight, and is
increasingly restricted in the scope of its permissible
activities. Each company having control over an undercapitalized
institution also must provide a limited guarantee that the
institution will comply with its capital restoration plan.
Except under limited circumstances consistent with an accepted
capital restoration plan, an undercapitalized institution may
not grow. An undercapitalized institution may not acquire
another institution, establish additional branch offices or
engage in any new line of business unless determined by the
appropriate Federal banking agency to be consistent with an
accepted capital restoration plan, or unless the FDIC determines
that the proposed action will further the purpose of prompt
corrective action. The appropriate federal banking agency may
take any action authorized for a significantly undercapitalized
institution if an undercapitalized institution fails to submit
an acceptable capital restoration plan or fails in any material
respect to implement a plan accepted by the agency. A critically
undercapitalized institution is subject to having a receiver or
conservator appointed to manage its affairs and for loss of its
charter to conduct banking activities.
183
An insured depository institution may not pay a management fee
to a bank holding company controlling that institution or any
other person having control of the institution if, after making
the payment, the institution, would be undercapitalized. In
addition, an institution cannot make a capital distribution,
such as a dividend or other distribution that is in substance a
distribution of capital to the owners of the institution if
following such a distribution the institution would be
undercapitalized. Thus, if payment of such a management fee or
the making of such would cause the bank to become
undercapitalized, it could not pay a management fee or dividend
to us.
Limits on
Dividends and Other Payments
BOE is and following the merger Community Bankers will be a
legal entity separate and distinct from its bank subsidiary. A
significant portion of the revenues of Community Bankers will
depend upon dividends or fees paid to it by Bank of Essex.
Virginia law prohibits a Virginia chartered bank from paying
dividends that would be greater than Bank of Essexs
accumulated retained earnings. Additionally, a Virginia
chartered bank may not declare a dividend if the total amount of
all dividends, including the proposed dividend, declared by the
bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of the banks
retained net income of that year to date, combined with its
retained net income of the two preceding years, unless the
dividend is approved by the FDIC.
In addition, BOE and Bank of Essex are and following the merger,
Community Bankers will be subject to various general regulatory
policies and requirements relating to the payment of dividends,
including the requirements to maintain adequate capital above
regulatory minimums. Appropriate federal regulatory authorities
are authorized to determine, under certain circumstances
relating to the financial condition of a bank or bank holding
company, that the payment of dividends would be unsafe or
unsound practice and to prohibit payment thereof. Appropriate
federal regulatory authorities have indicated that paying
dividends that deplete a banks capital base to an
inadequate level would be an unsound and unsafe banking practice
and that banking organizations should generally pay dividends
only out of current operating earnings. In addition, Community
Bankers will be subject to state laws that limit the amount of
dividends it can pay to its stockholders. Community Bankers
expects that these laws, regulations or policies may materially
impact the ability of Bank of Essex and, therefore, Community
Bankers ability to pay dividends.
There are a number of obligations and restrictions imposed on
bank holding companies and their depository institution
subsidiaries by federal law and regulatory policy that are
designed to reduce potential loss exposure to the depositors of
such depository institutions and to the FDIC insurance funds in
the event that the depository institution is insolvent or in
danger of becoming insolvent. For example, under the policy of
the Federal Reserve with respect to bank holding company
operations, a bank holding company is required to commit
resources to support its subsidiary depository institutions.
Other
Regulations
Community Bankers will be and Bank of Essex is subject to
certain other federal laws and regulations which directly impact
operations of Community Bankers:
USA
PATRIOT Act
The USA PATRIOT Act amended, in part, the Bank Secrecy Act,
collectively, the BSA, providing for the facilitation of
information sharing among governmental entities and financial
institutions for the purpose of combating terrorism and money
laundering by enhancing anti-money laundering and financial
transparency laws, as well as enhanced information collection
tools and enforcement mechanics for the U.S. government,
including: (1) requiring standards for verifying customer
identification at account opening; (2) rules to promote
cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law
enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved
in terrorism or money laundering; (3) reports by
nonfinancial trades and businesses filed with the Treasury
Departments Financial Crimes Enforcement Network for
transactions exceeding $10,000; (4) filing suspicious
activities reports by brokers and dealers if they believe a
customer may be violating U.S. laws and regulations; and
(5) requires enhanced due diligence requirements for
financial institutions that administer, maintain, or manage
private bank accounts or correspondent accounts for
non-U.S. persons.
184
Under the USA PATRIOT Act, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
or FBI, can send banking regulatory agencies lists of the names
of persons suspected of involvement in terrorist activities. The
Bank of Essex can be requested, to search its records for any
relationships or transactions with persons on those lists. If
Bank of Essex find any relationships or transactions, Bank of
Essex must file a suspicious activity report and contact the FBI.
The Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, which is a
division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, is
responsible for helping to insure that United States entities do
not engage in transactions with enemies of the
United States, as defined by various Executive Orders and Acts
of Congress. OFAC has sent, and will send, banking regulatory
agencies lists of names of persons and organizations suspected
of aiding, harboring or engaging in terrorist acts. If Bank of
Essex finds a name on any transaction, account or wire transfer
that is on an OFAC list, Bank of Essex must freeze such account,
file a suspicious activity report and notify the FBI. Bank of
Essex has appointed an OFAC compliance officer to oversee the
inspection of Bank of Essexs accounts and the filing of
any notifications. Bank of Essex actively checks high-risk OFAC
areas such as new accounts, wire transfers and customer files.
Bank of Essex performs these checks utilizing software, which is
updated each time a modification is made to the lists provided
by OFAC and other agencies of Specially Designated Nationals and
Blocked Persons.
Community
Reinvestment Act
Bank of Essex is subject to the requirements of the CRA. The CRA
imposes on financial institutions an affirmative and ongoing
obligation to meet the credit needs of their local communities,
including low and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with
the safe and sound operation of those institutions. Bank of
Essexs efforts in meeting community credit needs are
currently evaluated as part of the examination process pursuant
to lending, investment and service tests. These factors are
considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications
to open a branch or facility, and an unsatisfactory rating can
substantially delay or block a transaction.
Consumer
Laws and Regulations
Bank of Essex is subject to various laws and regulations dealing
generally with consumer protection matters. Bank of Essex may be
subject to potential liability under these laws and regulations
for material violations. Bank of Essexs loan operations
are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit
transactions, such as the:
|
|
|
|
|
Federal
Truth-In-Lending
Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;
|
|
|
|
Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, requiring financial
institutions to provide information to enable the public and
public officials to determine whether a financial institution is
fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the
community it serves;
|
|
|
|
Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the
basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending
credit;
|
|
|
|
Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1978, as amended by the Fair and
Accurate Credit Transactions Act, governing the use and
provision of information to credit reporting agencies, certain
identity theft protections and certain credit and other
disclosures;
|
|
|
|
Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer
debts may be collected by collection agencies;
|
|
|
|
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act; and
|
|
|
|
Rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged
with the responsibility of implementing these federal laws.
|
Deposit operations at the Bank of Essex are also subject to
federal laws applicable to deposit transactions, such as the:
|
|
|
|
|
Truth in Savings Act, which imposes disclosure obligations to
enable consumers to make informed decisions about accounts at
depository institutions;
|
185
|
|
|
|
|
Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E issued by
the Federal Reserve to implement that Act, which govern
automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and
customers rights and liabilities arising from the use of
automated teller machines and other electronic banking
services; and
|
|
|
|
Rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged
with the responsibility of implementing these federal laws.
|
Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002
Community Bankers and BOE are subject to the periodic reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, including the filing of
annual, quarterly and other reports with the SEC. As an Exchange
Act reporting company, Community Bankers is directly affected by
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX, that is aimed at
improving corporate governance and reporting procedures.
Community Bankers and BOE believe they are in substantial
compliance with applicable SEC and other rules and regulations
implemented pursuant to SOX and intends to comply with any
applicable rules and regulations implemented in the future.
Change in
Control
Subject to various exceptions, the BHCA and the Change in Bank
Control Act, together with related regulations, require Federal
Reserve approval prior to any person or company acquiring
control of a bank holding company. Moreover, the
Bureau of Financial Institutions must approve an acquisition of
a Virginia financial holding company. In general under federal
and Virginia law, control is conclusively presumed to exist if
an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of
voting securities of a bank holding company. Under federal law,
control is rebuttably presumed to exist if a person or company
acquires 10% or more, but less than 25%, of any class of voting
securities and either:
|
|
|
|
|
the bank holding company has registered securities under Section
12 of the Exchange Act; or
|
|
|
|
no other person owns a greater percentage of that class of
voting securities immediately after the transaction.
|
Economic
and Monetary Policies
The operations of BOE are affected not only by general economic
conditions, but also by the economic and monetary policies of
various regulatory authorities. In particular, the Federal
Reserve regulates money, credit and interest rates in order to
influence general economic conditions. These policies have a
significant influence on overall growth and distribution of
loans, investments and deposits and affect interest rates
charged on loans or paid for time and savings deposits. Federal
Reserve monetary policies have had a significant effect on the
operating results of commercial banks in the past and are
expected to continue to do so in the future.
COMPARATIVE
RIGHTS OF COMMUNITY BANKERS
AND BOE STOCKHOLDERS
Community Bankers and BOE are incorporated under the laws of the
State of Delaware and the Commonwealth of Virginia,
respectively. Accordingly, the rights of Community Bankers
stockholders and BOEs stockholders are governed by the
laws of the States of Delaware and Virginia, respectively. As a
result of the merger, BOEs stockholders will become
stockholders of Community Bankers. Thus, following the merger,
the rights of BOEs stockholders who become Community
Bankers stockholders in the merger will be governed by the
laws of the State of Delaware and by the Community Bankers
certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Community Bankers
stockholders are being asked at the annual meeting of
stockholders
on ,
2008, to adopt two amendments to the certificate of
incorporation to be effected upon consummation of the merger
with TransCommunity: an amendment to reset the terms of the
classes of Community Bankers directors and an amendment to
change the corporations name to Community Bankers
Trust Corporation. At the special meeting, Community
Bankers is asking its stockholders to adopt an additional
amendment to the certificate of incorporation to further reset
the terms of the classes of Community Bankers directors.
Upon consummation of Community Bankers merger with BOE,
BOEs stockholders will be governed by Community
Bankers amended and restated certificate of incorporation,
as further amended, in substantially the form attached as
Appendix B. If the amendment to the certificate of
186
incorporation is adopted and the merger consummated, the
Community Bankers board of directors will amend the bylaws to
conform those sections relating to the staggered board of
directors to the certificate of incorporation. BOE stockholders
will be governed by Community Bankers bylaws, as a result
of the merger. Virginia corporate law only refers to shares and
stockholders and does not use the term stock or
stockholder. Nonetheless, for ease of understanding
throughout this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Community
Bankers have applied the term stock to refer to the
ownership rights of the stockholders of BOE and
stockholders to refer to the
stockholders of BOE. Accordingly, with respect to
BOE, any references to stock should also be
understood to refer to shares under Virginia
corporate law and any references to shareholders
should also be understood to refer to stockholders
under Virginia Corporate Law.
The following is a comparison of certain rights of Community
Bankers stockholders and those of BOEs stockholders.
Certain significant differences in the rights of Community
Bankers stockholders and those of BOEs stockholders arise
from differing provisions of Community Bankers and
BOEs respective governing corporate instruments and
respective governing laws.
The following summary is not intended to be a complete statement
of Delaware or Virginia law or of the provisions of each
companys governing documents affecting, and the
differences between, the rights of Community Bankers
stockholders and those of BOEs stockholders. The
identification of specific provisions or differences is not
meant to indicate that other equally or more significant
differences do not exist. This summary is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the respective governing corporate
instruments of Community Bankers and BOE and Delaware and
Virginia laws.

Stockholder Vote Required for Merger
|
|
|
|
Delaware law provides that the affirmative vote of a majority of
all outstanding shares entitled to vote is required to adopt a
merger agreement. Adoption of the merger agreement by
stockholders is not required by Delaware law if (1) the
agreement of merger does not amend in any respect the
certificate of incorporation of Community Bankers, (2) each
share of stock of Community Bankers outstanding immediately
prior to the effective date of the merger is to be an identical
outstanding or treasury share of the surviving corporation after
the effective date of the merger, and (3) either no shares
of common stock of the surviving corporation and no shares,
securities or obligations convertible into such stock are to be
issued or delivered under the plan of merger, or the authorized
unissued shares or the treasury shares of common stock of the
surviving corporation to be issued or delivered under the plan
of merger plus those initially issuable upon conversion of any
other shares, securities or obligations to be issued or
delivered under such plan do not exceed 20% of the shares of
common stock of Community Bankers outstanding immediately prior
to the effective date of the merger. However, Community
Bankers certificate of incorporation provides that the
initial acquisition by Community Bankers of a company must be
submitted to the stockholders for a vote regardless of whether
it must be submitted under DGCL. Approval of such acquisition
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
Community Bankers outstanding shares of common stock issued in
the initial public offering of Community Bankers cast at
the meeting. In addition, the holders of less than 20% of the
outstanding shares of common stock issued in the Community
Bankers initial public offering must have voted against
the acquisition and thereafter exercised their right to convert
their shares into cash equal to a pro rata portion of the
Community Bankers trust account. If an initial acquisition, such
as the merger with TransCommunity, is required to be approved by
stockholders pursuant to Delaware law, then both the Delaware
requirements and the certificate of incorporation requirements
must be met to approve the acquisition. The merger with BOE
would not be an initial acquisition and only Delaware law, and
not the provisions of the certificate of incorporation would
apply.
|
|
Virginia law provides that unless the articles of incorporation,
or the board of directors in conditioning its submission of the
plan of merger to the stockholders, require a greater vote, the
plan of merger to be authorized will be approved by more than
two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast by each voting
group. Virginia law also provides that the articles of
incorporation may provide for greater or lesser vote so long as
the vote is not less than a majority of all votes cast on the
plan by each voting group entitled to vote on the transaction at
a meeting at which a quorum of the voting group exists.
BOEs articles of incorporation do not provide for a
greater or lessor vote than that provided pursuant to Virginia
law.

Notes to
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial
Statements
The pro forma information presented is not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations or the combined
financial position that would have resulted had the merger been
consummated at the beginning of the periods indicated, nor is it
necessarily indicative of the results of operations in future
periods or the future financial position of the combined
company. It is anticipated that the merger will be completed in
the second quarter of 2008.
|
|
Note 1
|
Basis
of Presentation and TransCommunity Acquisition
|
Basis of
Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated
financial statements give effect to the merger of Community
Bankers and TransCommunity in a business combination accounted
for as a purchase. As a result of the merger, TransCommunity
common stock will be converted into Community Bankers.
TransCommunity
Acquisition
Upon completion of the acquisition, each common share of
TransCommunity is assumed to be converted into 1.42 common
shares of Community Bankers.
The pro forma balance sheet reflects the proposed exchange ratio
as if it had occurred on September 30, 2007 based on an
estimated market value of Community Bankers common stock of
$7.42 per share. If the daily average closing price for
Community Bankers common stock for the 20 consecutive days
of trading in such stock ending five days before the closing
date is less than $7.42, Community Bankers will increase the
exchange ratio resulting in Community Bankers issuing more
shares of Community Bankers stock to TransCommunity stockholders
such that the total minimum consideration would remain unchanged.
Transaction costs incurred in the merger are assumed to be
$1,000,000 for Community Bankers and $400,000 for TransCommunity
which are reflected as liabilities as of the merger date.
TransCommunity does not anticipate incurring material
non-recurring charges related to the merger.
No tax provision or deferred taxes are reflected in the pro
forma acquisition adjustments due to the net operating losses
previously incurred by TransCommunity and the uncertainty of
realization of deferred taxes in future periods.
201
Pro Forma
Adjustments
Described below is the pro forma estimate of the total purchase
price of the transaction as well as the adjustment to allocate
the purchase price based on the preliminary estimates of the
fair values of the assets and liabilities of TransCommunity.
This estimate does not include TransCommunitys plans to
declare a one-time special dividend in the amount of $0.25 per
share to TransCommunity stockholders, which dividend would be
paid immediately prior to the effective time of the merger of
TransCommunity and Community Bankers. This dividend would be
subject to regulatory approval and would only occur after all
conditions to the closing are satisfied.

DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES OF COMMUNITY BANKERS
General
Community Bankers is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares
of common stock, par value $.01, and 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, par value $.01. After the merger with BOE,
Community Bankers will have
approximately shares
of common stock outstanding. No shares of preferred stock are
currently outstanding. Community Bankers common stock is listed
on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol BTC.
Units
Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one
redeemable warrant. Each redeemable warrant entitles the holder
to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of
$5.00 per share. Community Bankers units are listed on the
American Stock Exchange under the symbol BTC.U.
Common
Stock
Community Bankers stockholders are entitled to one vote
for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by
stockholders. In connection with the vote required for the
merger, all of Community Bankers directors and officers
have indicated they will vote in favor of the merger.
Community Bankers board of directors is divided into three
classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three
years with only one class of directors being elected in each
year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election
of directors.
If Community Bankers is forced to dissolve and liquidate and the
dissolution and liquidation were to be approved by stockholders
owning a majority of Community Bankers common stock upon
Community Bankers failure to timely complete the merger
with TransCommunity, holders of common stock issued in its
initial public offering would be entitled to receive their
proportionate share of the trust account (including any interest
not released to Community Bankers, net of taxes, and the
deferred underwriting discount) plus any remaining assets less
amounts Community Bankers pays, or reserves to pay, for all of
its liabilities and obligations. These liabilities and
obligations include Community Bankers corporate expenses
arising during its remaining existence and the costs associated
with its dissolution and liquidation. To the extent that funds
reserved to pay obligations or liabilities are not subsequently
used for such purpose, the funds will be available for
distribution to Community Bankers holders of common stock
issued in its initial public offering. Community Bankers
insiders agreed to waive their rights to share in any
liquidating distribution with respect to common stock owned by
them prior to consummation of Community Bankers initial
public offering in the event Community Bankers is not able to
timely complete the merger with TransCommunity. In addition,
I-Bankers Securities, Inc., Maxim Group LLC and Legend Merchant
Group, Inc. the representatives of the underwriters in Community
Bankers initial public offering agreed to forfeit any
rights to or claims against the portion of the trust account
attributable to the underwriters discount in the event
Community Bankers is not able to timely complete the merger with
TransCommunity.
Community Bankers stockholders have no conversion,
preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking
fund or redemption provisions applicable to the common stock,
except that holders of common stock issued in Community
Bankers initial public offering, other than those shares
acquired by Community Bankers insiders, who have waived such
rights, have the right to have their shares of common stock
converted to cash equal to their pro rata portion of the
Community Bankers trust account if they properly elect such
conversion and vote against a business combination such as the
merger with TransCommunity which is ultimately approved and
completed. Holders of common stock issued in Community
Bankers initial public offering who convert their stock
into cash equal to a pro rata portion of the Community Bankers
trust account will continue to own their redeemable warrants and
have the right to sell, transfer or exercise such redeemable
warrants.
Preferred
Stock
Community Bankers certificate of incorporation authorizes
the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred
stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be
determined from time to time by
205
Community Bankers board of directors. Accordingly,
Community Bankers board of directors is empowered, without
stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend,
liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could
adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders
of common stock, although the underwriting agreement executed in
connection with Community Bankers initial public offering
prohibits Community Bankers, prior to completion of the merger
with TransCommunity, from issuing preferred stock which
participates in any manner in the proceeds of the trust account,
or that votes separately or as a class with the common stock on
the merger. The issuance of preferred stock could be utilized as
a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in
control of Community Bankers. Although there are no shares of
preferred stock outstanding and Community Bankers does not
currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, there
is no assurance that Community Bankers will not do so in the
future.
Redeemable
Warrants
Community Bankers currently has 7,500,000 redeemable warrants
outstanding. Each redeemable warrant entitles the registered
holder to purchase one share of Community Bankers common
stock at a price of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment as
discussed below, at any time commencing upon the completion of
the merger with TransCommunity, provided a current prospectus is
available as discussed below. The redeemable warrants will
expire on June 4, 2011 at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time. Community Bankers warrants are listed on the American
Stock Exchange under the symbol BTC.W.
An additional 525,000 warrants relating to Community Bankers
common stock may be issued upon exercise of the unit purchase
option issued to I-Bankers Securities, Inc., Maxim Group LLC and
Legend Merchant Group, Inc. the representatives of the
underwriters, in connection with Community Bankers initial
public offering. The unit purchase option allows the I-Bankers
Securities, Inc., Maxim Group LLC and Legend Merchant Group,
Inc. representatives of the underwriters to purchase an
aggregate of 525,000 units, at a purchase price of $10.00
per unit, including 525,000 warrants, each of which allows the
representatives of the underwriters to purchase one share of
Community Bankers common stock at a price of $7.50 per share.
Provided Community Bankers obtains the prior consent of the
I-Bankers Securities, Inc., one of the representatives of the
underwriters in Community Bankers initial public offering,
Community Bankers may call the outstanding redeemable warrants,
including those issuable upon exercise of the purchase option
described above, but excluding those warrants repurchased by
Community Bankers Acquisition, LLC, an affiliate of Gary A.
Simanson, Community Bankers president and chief executive
officer, and by the representatives of the underwriters in
Community Bankers initial public offering so long as such
warrants are held by the representatives of the underwriters,
for redemption:
|
|
|
|
|
in whole and not in part;
|
|
|
|
at a price of $.01 per warrant at any time after the redeemable
warrants become exercisable;
|
|
|
|
upon not less than 30 days prior written notice of
redemption to each warrant holder; and
|
|
|
|
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the common
stock equals or exceeds $11.50 per share, for any 20 trading
days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business
day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders and a
registration statement is in effect with respect to the shares
of common stock underlying the warrants.
|
If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and Community Bankers
calls the warrants for redemption, each warrant holder shall
then be entitled to exercise his or her warrant, prior to the
date scheduled for redemption, by payment of the exercise price
in cash. In addition, Community Bankers may elect to permit the
exercise of warrants called for redemption on a cashless
basis. Exercises on a cashless basis enable the holder to
exercise the warrants without paying the cash exercise price of
the warrants. In a cashless exercise, the warrant holder is able
to acquire a number of shares of common stock equal to the
inherent value of the warrants to be exercised (the aggregate
fair market value of the common stock that may be acquired upon
the exercise of the warrants minus the total exercise price of
the warrants) divided by the value of the common stock. The
value of the common stock will be determined using
the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the
ten trading days ending on the third business day prior to the
notice of redemption to warrant holders. In the notice of
redemption, Community Bankers will provide to each warrant
holder the value of the common stock and the number
of shares of
206
Community Bankers common stock that such warrant holder would
receive upon exercise of the warrants on a cashless basis.
The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable
on exercise of the redeemable warrants may be adjusted in
certain circumstances including in the event of a stock
dividend, or Community Bankers recapitalization,
reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the redeemable
warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock,
preferred stock or other securities at a price below their
respective exercise prices.
The redeemable warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the
warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the
offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the
reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed
as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price,
by certified check payable to us, for the number of redeemable
warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the
rights or privileges of holders of common stock or any voting
rights until they exercise their redeemable warrants and receive
shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common
stock upon exercise of the redeemable warrants, each holder will
be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all
matters to be voted on by stockholders.
No redeemable warrants will be exercisable unless at the time of
exercise a prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon
exercise of the redeemable warrants is current and the common
stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt
under the securities laws of the state of residence of the
holder of the redeemable warrants. Under the terms of the
warrant agreement, Community Bankers has agreed to meet these
conditions and use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a
current prospectus relating to common stock issuable upon
exercise of the redeemable warrants until the expiration of the
redeemable warrants. However, Community Bankers cannot assure
you that it will be able to do so. The redeemable warrants may
be deprived of any value and the market for the redeemable
warrants may be limited if the prospectus relating to the common
stock issuable upon the exercise of the redeemable warrants is
not current or if the common stock is not qualified or exempt
from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of
the redeemable warrants reside.
No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the
redeemable warrants. However, if, upon exercise of the warrants,
a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a
share, Community Bankers will, upon exercise, round to the
nearest whole number of shares of common stock to be issued to
the warrant holder.
Community
Bankers Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent
The transfer agent for Community Bankers securities and
warrant agent for its redeemable warrants is Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, New York, New York.

PROPOSAL TO
AUTHORIZE ADJOURNMENT
OF THE COMMUNITY BANKERS SPECIAL MEETING
General
If, at the Community Bankers special meeting, the number of
shares of Community Bankers common stock, present in person or
by proxy, is insufficient to constitute a quorum or the number
of shares of Community Bankers common stock voting in favor is
insufficient to adopt the merger agreement and to adopt the
amendment to the certificate of incorporation, Community Bankers
management intends to move to adjourn the special meeting in
order to enable the Community Bankers board of directors to
solicit additional proxies. In that event, Community Bankers
will ask its stockholders to vote only upon the adjournment
proposal and not the proposals relating to adoption of the
merger agreement and the adoption of the amendment to the
certificate of incorporation.
In this proposal, Community Bankers is asking you to grant
discretionary authority to the holder of any proxy solicited by
the Community Bankers board of directors so that such holder can
vote in favor of the proposal to adjourn the special meeting to
solicit additional proxies. If the stockholders of Community
Bankers approve the adjournment proposal, Community Bankers
could adjourn the special meeting, and any adjourned session of
the special meeting, and use the additional time to solicit
additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from
stockholders who have previously voted. Among other things,
approval of the adjournment proposal could mean that, even if
Community Bankers had received proxies representing a sufficient
number of votes against any of the proposals to defeat the
proposal, Community Bankers could adjourn the special meeting
without a vote on the merger agreement proposal or any other
proposal and seek to convince the holders of those shares to
change their votes to votes in favor of the approval of the
merger agreement.
Generally, if the special meeting is adjourned, no notice of the
adjourned meeting is required to be given to stockholders, other
than an announcement at the special meeting of the place, date
and time to which the meeting is adjourned. However, Community
Bankers bylaws provide that if the adjournment is for more
than 30 days, or if after adjournment a new record date is
fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned
meeting will be given to each stockholder of record entitled to
vote at the adjourned meeting.
Vote
Required
Under Community Bankers bylaws, the adjournment proposal
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the shares of Community Bankers common stock present in person
or represented by proxy at the special meeting, whether or not a
quorum is present. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not
affect the vote on the adjournment proposal.
Board
Recommendation
The Community Bankers board of directors recommends a vote
FOR the proposal to authorize the board of
directors to adjourn the special meeting of stockholders to
allow time for the further solicitation of proxies to approve
the adoption of the merger agreement and the adoption of the
amendment to the certificate of incorporation.
208
PROPOSAL TO
AUTHORIZE ADJOURNMENT
OF THE BOE SPECIAL MEETING
General
If, at the BOE special meeting, the number of shares of BOE
common stock, present in person or by proxy, is insufficient to
constitute a quorum or the number of shares of BOE common stock
voting in favor of approval of the merger agreement is
insufficient to approve the merger agreement, BOE management
intends to move to adjourn the special meeting in order to
enable the BOE board of directors to solicit additional proxies.
In that event, BOE will ask its stockholders to vote only upon
the adjournment proposal and not the proposal relating to the
approval of the merger agreement.
In this proposal, BOE is asking you to grant discretionary
authority to the holder of any proxy solicited by the BOE board
of directors so that such holder can vote in favor of the
proposal to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional
proxies. If the stockholders of BOE approve the adjournment
proposal, BOE could adjourn the special meeting, and any
adjourned session of the special meeting, and use the additional
time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation
of proxies from stockholders who have previously voted. Among
other things, approval of the adjournment proposal could mean
that, even if BOE had received proxies representing a sufficient
number of votes against approval of the merger agreement to
defeat the merger agreement proposal, BOE could adjourn the
special meeting without a vote on the merger agreement proposal
and seek to convince the holders of those shares to change their
votes to votes in favor of the approval of the merger agreement.
Generally, if the special meeting is adjourned, no notice of the
adjourned meeting is required to be given to stockholders, other
than an announcement at the special meeting of the place, date
and time to which the meeting is adjourned. However, BOEs
bylaws provide that if the special meeting is adjourned to a
date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the
original meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting will be given
as in the case of the original meeting.
Vote
Required
Approval of the proposal to authorize the board of directors to
adjourn the special meeting of stockholders requires that the
votes cast favoring the action to exceed the votes cast opposing
the action, whether or not a quorum is present.
Board
Recommendation
The BOE board of directors recommends a vote
FOR the proposal to authorize the board of
directors to adjourn the special meeting of stockholders to
allow time for the further solicitation of proxies to approve
the merger agreement.
OTHER
MATTERS
Neither the Community Bankers board of directors nor the BOE
board of directors know of any matters to be presented at their
respective special meetings other than the proposals described
in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If any other matters
are properly brought before either special meeting or any
adjournment of either meeting, the enclosed proxy will be deemed
to confer discretionary authority on the individuals named as
proxies to vote the shares represented by the proxy as to any
such matters.

ORGANIZATION,
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
|
The condensed financial statements at September 30, 2007
and for the three- and six-month periods ended
September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, are
unaudited and include the accounts of Community Bankers
Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage). The
condensed balance sheet at March 31, 2007, has been derived
from the audited financial statements included in Community
Bankers Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
The results of Community Bankers operations for the
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements and related notes should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in Community Bankers Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended March 31, 2007.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal accruals) have been made that are necessary to present
fairly the financial position of Community Bankers as of
September 30, 2007, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the three and six months ended
September 30, 2007. Until the announcement on
September 6, 2007, that Community Bankers had entered into
an agreement and plan of merger with a target company, Community
Bankers efforts had been primarily organizational,
activities relating to its initial public offering and searching
for and identifying targets for an initial business combination.
Until the consummation of a business combination, Community
Bankers expects interest earned on the offering proceeds held in
trust to be its primary source of income.
The statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.
Community Bankers was incorporated in Delaware on April 6,
2005 as a blank check company whose objective is to merge with
or acquire an operating commercial bank or bank holding company.
As discussed in Note 6, Community Bankers issued a press
release and filed a Current Report on
Form 8-K
on September 7, 2007, reporting that Community Bankers has
entered into an agreement and plan of merger with TransCommunity
Financial Corporation. Community Bankers fiscal year end
has been changed from March 31 to December 31.
The registration statement for Community Bankers initial
public offering was declared effective June 5, 2006.
Community Bankers consummated the initial public offering on
June 8, 2006 and received net proceeds of $54,950,000 which
is discussed in Note 2. Community Bankers management
has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of
the net proceeds of this initial public offering, although
substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be
generally applied toward consummating a merger, capital stock
exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business
combination with an operating business whose objective is to
operate a commercial bank or bank holding company
(Business Combination). There is no assurance that
Community Bankers will be able to successfully effect a Business
Combination. Upon the closing of the initial public offering,
$56,450,000 of the proceeds, including $2,100,000 attributable
to the underwriters discount which the representatives of
the underwriters have agreed to defer until the initial Business
Combination, are being held in a trust account
(Trust Fund) and invested in
U.S. government securities or other high-quality, short
term interest-bearing investments, until the earlier of
(1) the consummation of its first Business Combination or
(2) distribution of the Trust Account as described
below; provided, however, that up to $1,129,000 of interest
income, net of taxes payable on interest earned on the
Trust Account, may be released to Community Bankers
periodically to cover its operating expenses. The remaining
proceeds and any interest released to Community Bankers to cover
its operating expenses will be used to pay for business, legal
and accounting due diligence on prospective mergers or
acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.
Community Bankers, after signing a definitive agreement for the
Business Combination, will submit such transaction for
stockholder approval. In the event that stockholders owning 20%
or more of the outstanding stock excluding, for this purpose,
those persons who were stockholders immediately prior to the
initial public offering, both vote against the Business
Combination and exercise their conversion
F-8
COMMUNITY
BANKERS ACQUISITION CORP.
(A Corporation in the Development Stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
rights, the Business Combination will not be consummated. All of
Community Bankers stockholders prior to the initial public
offering, including all of the officers and directors of
Community Bankers (Initial Stockholders), have
agreed to vote all of their founding shares of common stock
either for or against the Business Combination as determined by
the majority of the votes cast by the holders of the common
stock who purchase shares sold in the initial public offering
(Public Stockholders) with respect to a Business
Combination. After consummation of Community Bankers first
Business Combination, these voting safeguards no longer apply.
With respect to the first Business Combination which is approved
and consummated, any Public Stockholder, other than Community
Bankers Initial Stockholders, who vote against the
Business Combination may demand that Community Bankers redeem
his or her shares. The per share redemption price will equal the
amount in the Trust Fund as of the record date for
determination of stockholders entitled to vote on the Business
Combination divided by the number of shares of common stock held
by Public Stockholders at the consummation of the initial public
offering. Accordingly, Public Stockholders holding 19.99% of the
aggregate number of shares owned by all Public Stockholders may
seek redemption of their shares in the event of a Business
Combination. Such Public Stockholders are entitled to receive
their per share interest in the Trust Fund computed without
regard to the shares held by Initial Stockholders.
Community Bankers Certificate of Incorporation provides
that in the event that Community Bankers does not consummate a
Business Combination by the later of (1) 18 months
after the consummation of the initial public offering or
(2) 24 months after the consummation of the initial
public offering in the event that either a letter of intent, an
agreement in principle or a definitive agreement to complete the
Business Combination was executed but was not consummated within
such
18-month
period (such later date being referred to as the
Termination Date), the board of directors will adopt
a resolution, within 15 days thereafter, finding Community
Bankers dissolution advisable and provide notice as
promptly thereafter as practicable to stockholders in connection
with Community Bankers dissolution in accordance with
Section 275 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In the
event that Community Bankers is so dissolved, Community Bankers
shall promptly adopt and implement a plan of distribution which
provides that only the holders of shares sold in the initial
public offering shall be entitled to receive liquidating
distributions and Community Bankers shall pay no liquidating
distributions with respect to any other shares of capital stock
of Community Bankers. In the event of liquidation, it is likely
that the per share value of residual assets remaining available
for distribution (including Trust Fund assets) will be less
than the initial public offering price per share in the initial
public offering (assuming no value is attributed to the
Redeemable Warrants contained in the Units sold in the initial
public offering as described in Note 2).
|
|

|
INITIAL
PUBLIC OFFERING
|
On June 8, 2006, Community Bankers sold
7,500,000 units (Units) in the initial public
offering. Each Unit consists of one share of Community
Bankers common stock, $0.01 par value, and one
Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (Warrant).
Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase from Community
Bankers one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00
commencing on the completion of a Business Combination and
expiring five years from the date of the initial public
offering. The Warrants will be redeemable by Community Bankers
at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days notice
after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that
the last sale price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per
share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day
period ending on the third business day prior to the date on
which notice of the redemption is given.
In addition, Community Bankers sold to I-Bankers Securities,
Inc., Maxim Group LLC and Legend Merchant Group, Inc. or their
designees, for $100, an option to purchase up to
525,000 units in the aggregate. The units issuable upon
exercise of this option are identical to those offered in this
initial public offering, except that each of the warrants
underlying this option entitles the holder to purchase one share
of common stock at a price of $7.50. This option is exercisable
at $10.00 per unit commencing on the later of the consummation
of a Business Combination or one year from the date of the
initial public offering. This option expires June 4, 2011.
In lieu of the
F-9
COMMUNITY
BANKERS ACQUISITION CORP.
(A Corporation in the Development Stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
payment of the exercise price, this option may be converted into
units on a net-share settlement or cashless exercise basis to
the extent that the market value of the units at the time of
conversion exceeds the exercise price of this option. This
option may only be exercised or converted by the option holder
and cannot be redeemed by Community Bankers for cash.
Community Bankers Acquisition, LLC, an affiliate of Community
Bankers president and one of its stockholders, has entered
into a revolving credit agreement with Community Bankers in the
amount of $100,000. Advances under the credit facility were
$40,000. The loan was non-interest bearing and was repaid on
June 29, 2006.

RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|
Community Bankers presently occupies office space provided by an
affiliate of Community Bankers president and an Initial
Stockholder. Such affiliate has agreed that, until the
acquisition of a target business by Community Bankers, it will
make such office space, as well as certain office and
secretarial services, available to Community Bankers, as may be
required by Community Bankers from time to time. Community
Bankers has agreed to pay such affiliate $7,500 per month for
such services commencing June 5, 2006. At
September 30, 2007, an aggregate of $180,000 has been paid.
Common
Stock
Community Bankers is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares
of common stock. Stockholders are entitled to one vote for each
share held of record on all matters to be voted on by
stockholders. Stockholders have no conversion, preemptive or
other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or
redemption provisions applicable to the common stock, except
that Public Stockholders have the right to have their shares of
common stock converted to cash equal to their pro rata share of
the trust fund if they both elect such conversion within the
prescribed time period and they subsequently vote against the
Business Combination and the Business Combination is ultimately
approved and completed. Assuming the Business Combination is not
timely completed and Community Bankers dissolution is
approved by Community Bankers stockholders in accordance
with Delaware law, Public Stockholders will be entitled to
receive their proportionate share of the Trust Fund
(including any interest not released to us, net of taxes, and
the deferred underwriting discount). In addition, Public
Stockholders will be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of
Community Bankers remaining assets not held in trust, less
amounts Community Bankers pay, or reserve to pay, for all of
Community Bankers liabilities and obligations. Initial
Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to share in any
liquidating distribution with respect to common stock owned by
them prior to consummation of the initial public offering in the
event Community Bankers is not able to timely complete a
Business Combination.
Pursuant to letter agreements with Community Bankers, the
Initial Stockholders have waived their right to receive
distributions with respect to their founding shares upon
Community Bankers liquidation.
Preferred
Stock
Community Bankers is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares
of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other
rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by
the Board of Directors.
The agreement with the underwriters prohibits Community Bankers,
prior to a Business Combination, from issuing preferred stock
without the consent of the Representatives of the underwriters.

PROPOSED
BUSINESS COMBINATION
|
On September 5, 2007, Community Bankers entered into an
agreement and plan of merger with TransCommunity. The agreement
and plan of merger sets forth the terms and conditions of
Community Bankers acquisition of TransCommunity through
the merger of TransCommunity with and into Community Bankers.
TransCommunity Bank, N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of
TransCommunity, will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the
surviving company in the merger.
Under the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, Community
Bankers will issue to the shareholders of TransCommunity, for
each share of TransCommunitys common stock that they own,
1.4200 shares of Community Bankers common stock (the
Exchange Ratio), subject to adjustment as described
below. If the daily average closing price for Community
Bankers common stock for the 20 consecutive days of
trading in such stock ending five days before the closing date
is less than $7.42, Community Bankers will increase the Exchange
Ratio to the quotient obtained by dividing $10.5364 by such
daily average closing price.
In addition, at the effective time of the merger, each
outstanding option to purchase shares of TransCommunitys
common stock under any of TransCommunitys stock plans
shall vest pursuant to its terms and shall be converted into an
option to acquire the number of shares of Community
Bankers common stock equal to the number of shares of
common stock underlying the option multiplied by the Exchange
Ratio. The exercise price of each option will be adjusted
accordingly.
The agreement and plan of merger also provides for Community
Bankers headquarters to move to the headquarters of
TransCommunity. Following the consummation of the merger, the
Board of Directors of the surviving company will consist of ten
directors, four of whom will be nominated by Community Bankers
and six of whom will be nominated by TransCommunity. In
addition, the chief executive officer and chief financial
officer of TransCommunity will take those positions with the
surviving company, and Community Bankers chief executive
officer will become the surviving companys chief strategic
officer.
Consummation of the merger is subject to a number of customary
conditions including the approval of the merger by the
shareholders of each of TransCommunity and Community Bankers and
the receipt of all required regulatory approvals. In addition,
closing of the transaction is also conditioned on holders of
fewer than 20% of the shares of Community Bankers common
stock voting against the transaction and electing to convert
their shares of Community Bankers common stock into cash.
Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger either party may
terminate the agreement and plan of merger in the event the
merger is not consummated by May 31, 2008. As a result of
the execution of the agreement and plan of merger, pursuant to
Community Bankers certificate of incorporation, it has
until June 7, 2008 to complete the transaction before it
would otherwise be required to liquidate.
On September 5, 2007, Community Bankers entered into an
agreement with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods to provide
financial advisory and investment banking services to Community
Bankers in connection with the proposed merger with
TransCommunity discussed in Note 6. Community Bankers paid
$125,000 upon execution of the agreement and, in the event that
the business combination with TransCommunity is consummated, it
will pay a cash fee to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods at
closing of $375,000.
In addition, Community Bankers agreed to pay to I-Bankers
Securities, Inc. serving as the underwriting syndicates
representative, $2,100,000 attributable to the
underwriters discount which the representatives of the

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Community Bankers Acquisition Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Community
Bankers Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development
stage) as of March 31, 2007 and the related statements of
income, stockholders equity and cash flows for the year
ended March 31, 2007 and the period from April 6, 2005
(inception) to March 31, 2007. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Corporations management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free from material misstatement. The Corporation is not required
to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a
basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Corporations internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Community Bankers Acquisition Corp. as of March 31, 2007
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year ended March 31, 2007 and the period from April 6,
2005 (inception) to March 31, 2007, in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(A Corporation in the Development Stage)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|

1.
|
ORGANIZATION,
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
|
The Corporation was incorporated in Delaware on April 6,
2005 as a blank check company whose objective is to merge with
or acquire an operating commercial bank or bank holding company.
The Corporation has neither engaged in any operations nor
generated revenue to date other than interest income. The
Corporations fiscal year end is March 31.
The registration statement for the Corporations initial
public offering (Offering) was declared effective
June 5, 2006. The Corporation consummated the Offering on
June 8, 2006 and received net proceeds of $54,950,000 which
is discussed in Note 3. The Corporations management
has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of
the net proceeds of this Offering, although substantially all of
the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward
consummating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition
or other similar business combination with an operating business
whose objective is to operate a commercial bank or bank holding
company (Business Combination). There is no
assurance that the Corporation will be able to successfully
effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Offering,
$56,450,000 of the proceeds, including $2,100,000 attributable
to the underwriters discount which the representatives of
the underwriters have agreed to defer until the initial Business
Combination, are being held in a trust account
(Trust Account) and invested in
U.S. government securities or other high-quality, short
term interest-bearing investments, until the earlier of
(1) the consummation of its first Business Combination or
(2) distribution of the Trust Account as described
below; provided, however, that up to $1,129,000 of interest
income, net of taxes payable on interest earned on the
Trust Account, may be released to the Corporation
periodically to cover its operating expenses. The balance in the
Trust Account as of March 31, 2007 was $58,118,729.
Interest released to the Corporation to cover its operating
expenses and the proceeds of the Offering that were not
deposited in the Trust Account will be used to pay for
business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective
mergers or acquisitions and continuing general and
administrative expenses. The Corporation, after signing a
definitive agreement for the Business Combination, will submit
such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event that
stockholders owning 20% or more of the outstanding stock
excluding, for this purpose, those persons who were stockholders
immediately prior to the Offering, both vote against the
Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights, the
Business Combination will not be consummated. All of the
Corporations stockholders prior to the Offering, including
all of the officers and directors of the Corporation
(Initial Stockholders), have agreed to vote all of
their founding shares of common stock either for or against the
Business Combination as determined by the majority of the votes
cast by the holders of the common stock who purchase shares sold
in this Offering (Public Stockholders) with respect
to a Business Combination. After consummation of the
Corporations first Business Combination, these voting
safeguards no longer apply.
With respect to the first Business Combination which is approved
and consummated, any Public Stockholder, other than the
Corporations Initial Stockholders, who voted against the
Business Combination may demand that the Corporation redeem his
or her shares. The per share redemption price will equal the
amount in the Trust Fund as of the record date for
determination of stockholders entitled to vote on the Business
Combination divided by the number of shares of common stock held
by Public Stockholders at the consummation of the Offering.
Accordingly, Public Stockholders holding 19.99% of the aggregate
number of shares owned by all Public Stockholders may seek
redemption of their shares in the event of a Business
Combination. Such Public Stockholders are entitled to receive
their per share interest in the Trust Fund computed without
regard to the shares held by Initial Stockholders. In this
respect, $11,617,934 has been classified as common stock subject
to possible conversion at March 31, 2007.
The Corporations Certificate of Incorporation provides
that in the event that the Corporation does not consummate a
Business Combination by the later of (1) 18 months
after the consummation of the Offering or
(2) 24 months after the consummation of the Offering
in the event that either a letter of intent, an agreement in
principle or a definitive agreement to complete the Business
Combination was executed but was not consummated within such
18-month
period (such latter date being referred to as the
Termination Date), the board of directors will adopt
a resolution, within 15 days thereafter, finding the
Corporations dissolution advisable and provide notice

NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
as promptly thereafter as practicable to stockholders in
connection with our dissolution in accordance with
Section 275 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In the
event that the Corporation is so dissolved, the Corporation
shall promptly adopt and implement a plan of distribution which
provides that only the Public Stockholders shall be entitled to
receive liquidating distributions and the Corporation shall pay
no liquidating distributions with respect to any other shares of
capital stock of the Corporation. In the event of liquidation,
it is likely that the per share value of residual assets
remaining available for distribution (including Trust Fund
assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per
share in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the
Redeemable Warrants contained in the Units sold in the Offering
as described in Note 3).

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Basis
of Presentation
The financial statements include the accounts of the
Corporation. The Corporation has not commenced operations
effective March 31, 2007. All activity through
March 31, 2007, is related to the Corporations
formation and the Offering.
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual
amounts could differ from those estimates.
Cash
Equivalents
The Corporation considers all highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Corporation
to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The
Corporations policy is to limit the amount of credit
exposure to any one financial institution and place investments
with financial institutions evaluated as being creditworthy, or
in short-term money market funds which are exposed to minimal
interest rate and credit risk.
Income
Taxes
The Corporation recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences of events that have
been recognized in the Corporations financial statements
or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets
and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years
in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Earnings
per Common Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by
dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted
average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS
reflects the additional dilution for all potentially dilutive
securities such as stock warrants.

INITIAL
PUBLIC OFFERING
|
On June 8, 2006, the Corporation sold 7,500,000 units
(Units) in the Offering. Each Unit consists of one
share of the Corporations common stock, $0.01 par
value, and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant
(Warrant). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase from the Corporation one share of common stock at an
exercise price of $5.00 commencing on the later of the
completion of a Business Combination or one year from the
effective date of the Offering and expiring five years from the
date of the Offering. The Warrants will be redeemable by the
Corporation at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon
30 days notice after the Warrants become exercisable,
only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock
is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30
trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the
date on which notice of the redemption is given.
In addition, the Corporation sold to I-Bankers Securities, Inc.,
Maxim Group LLC and Legend Merchant Group, Inc. or their
designees, for $100, an option to purchase up to
525,000 units in the aggregate. The units issuable upon
exercise of this option are identical to those offered in this
Offering, except that each of the warrants underlying this
option entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock
at a price of $7.50. This option is exercisable at $10.00 per
unit commencing on the later of the consummation of a Business
Combination or one year from the date of the Offering. This
option expires June 4, 2011. In lieu of the payment of the
exercise price, this option may be converted into units on a
net-share settlement or cashless exercise basis to the extent
that the market value of the units at the time of conversion
exceeds the exercise price of this option. This option may only
be exercised or converted by the option holder and cannot be
redeemed by the Corporation for cash.
The sale of the option to the representatives of the
underwriters is accounted for as an equity transaction in
accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force
No. 00-19,
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to,
and Potentially Settled in a Companys Own Stock, and
measured at its fair value. As a result, the Corporations
cash position and stockholders equity increased by the
$100 proceeds from the sale. The Corporation accounted for the
fair value of the option as an expense of the Offering. The
Corporation has determined based upon a trinomial model that the
estimated fair value of the option on the date of sale was
approximately $2.4145 per unit or an aggregate of $1,267,613
assuming an expected life of five years, volatility of 32.371%
and a risk-free interest rate of 4.929%. Although an expected
life of five years was used, if the Corporation does not
consummate a Business Combination within the prescribed time
period and liquidate, this option would become worthless.
Because the Corporation does not have a trading history, the
Corporation estimated the potential volatility of its common
stock price using the average volatility of ten publicly-traded
banking institutions with market capitalizations ranging from
$64 million to $288 million with an average of
$149 million. The Corporation believes that the average
volatility of these representative institutions is a reasonable
benchmark to use in estimating the expected volatility of its
common stock after consummation of a Business Combination,
because these sample institutions are operating banks or bank
holding companies that are similar in size to target business
acquisitions. The volatility calculation of 32.371% was derived
using the volatility of representative banks. This calculation
used the daily closing prices for the five year period ended
April 30, 2006. Using a higher volatility would have the
effect of increasing the implied value of this option.
Pursuant to Rule 2710(g)(1) of the NASD Conduct Rule, the
option to purchase 525,000 units is deemed to be
underwriting compensation and therefore upon exercise the
underlying shares and warrants are subject to a
180-day
lock-up.
Additionally, the option may not be sold, transferred, assigned,
pledged or hypothecated for a one-year period (including the
foregoing
180-day
period) following the date of the Offering.

BANKERS ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Although this option and its underlying securities have been
registered by the Corporation, the Corporation has granted to
the holders of this option demand and piggy back
registration rights until the later of five years from the date
of the Offering or one year after the warrants are exercised
with respect to the securities directly and indirectly issuable
upon exercise of this option. The Corporation will bear all fees
and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than
underwriting commissions which will be paid for by the holders
themselves. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon
exercise of this option shall be adjusted in certain
circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or the
Corporations recapitalization, reorganization, merger or
consolidation. However, no adjustments to this option will be
made for issuances of common stock at a price below the exercise
price of this option.

DEFERRED
OFFERING COSTS
|
Deferred offering costs consisted principally of legal and other
offering expenses incurred through March 31, 2006 that were
related to the Offering and were charged to capital upon receipt
of the capital raised.
Community Bankers Acquisition, LLC, an affiliate of the
Corporations president and one of its stockholders,
entered into a revolving credit agreement with the Corporation
in the amount of $100,000. Advances under the credit facility
were $40,000. The loan was non-interest bearing and was repaid
on June 29, 2006.

RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|
The Corporation presently occupies office space provided by an
affiliate of the Corporations president and an Initial
Stockholder. Such affiliate has agreed that, until the
acquisition of a target business by the Corporation, it will
make such office space, as well as certain office and
secretarial services, available to the Corporation, as may be
required by the Corporation from time to time. The Corporation
has agreed to pay such affiliate $7,500 per month for such
services commencing June 5, 2006. At March 31, 2007,
an aggregate of $75,000 has been paid.
Common
Stock
The Corporation is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of
common stock. Stockholders are entitled to one vote for each
share held of record on all matters to be voted on by
stockholders. Stockholders have no conversion, preemptive or
other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or
redemption provisions applicable to the common stock, except
that Public Stockholders have the right to have their shares of
common stock converted to cash equal to their pro rata share of
the trust fund if they both elect such conversion within the
prescribed time period and they subsequently vote against the
Business Combination and the Business Combination is ultimately
approved and completed. Assuming the Business Combination is not
timely completed and the Corporations dissolution is
approved by our stockholders in accordance with Delaware law,
Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive their
proportionate share of the Trust Fund (including any
interest not released to us, net of taxes, and the deferred
underwriting discount). In addition, Public Stockholders will be
entitled to receive a pro rata portion of our remaining assets
not held in trust, less amounts Community Bankers pay, or
reserve to pay, for all of our liabilities and obligations.
Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to share
in any liquidating distribution with respect to common stock
owned by them prior to consummation of the Offering in the event
the Corporation is not able to timely complete a Business
Combination.
Pursuant to letter agreements with the Corporation, the Initial
Stockholders have waived their right to receive distributions
with respect to their founding shares upon the
Corporations liquidation.

Preferred
Stock
The Corporation is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights
and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the
Board of Directors.
The agreement with the underwriters prohibits the Corporation,
prior to a Business Combination, from issuing preferred stock
without the consent of the representatives of the underwriters.
Effective April 1, 2007, the Corporation adopted the
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the
Companys financial statements in accordance with FASB
Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure and transition.
Management has evaluated and concluded that there are no
significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the
Corporations financial statements as of April 1,
2007. The evaluation was performed for the tax year ended
March 31, 2006, which remains subject to examination for
Federal and state purposes as of March 31, 2007.
The Corporations policy is the classify assessments, if
any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties
as general and administrative expenses.
The components of the provision for income tax is as follows:

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per
Share, basic earnings per common share (Basic
EPS) is computed by dividing the net income by the
weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings
per common share (Diluted EPS) is computed by
dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common
shares and dilutive common share equivalents and warrants then
outstanding. SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of
both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the
Corporations Statements of Income.

NOTE 1
|
Principles
of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation:
|
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of TransCommunity Financial Corporation
(TransCommunity or the Company) and its
consolidated subsidiary TransCommunity Bank, N.A., which
includes Main Street Mortgage and Investment Corporation
(Main Street Mortgage), a former wholly-owned
subsidiary that discontinued operations in December 2006. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances associated
with consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements of TransCommunity conform
to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, to general industry practices, and the instructions
for
Form 10-Q
and
Regulation S-X.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the financial position at September 30,
2007, and the results of operations for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The
Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at
December 31, 2006 was derived from audited financial data.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities
in the financial statements, and the disclosure of revenue and
expense during the reporting periods. The assumptions are based
on information available as of the date of the financial
statements and could differ from actual results. The results for
the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual
performance. The notes included herein should be read in
conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements
included in the audited December 31, 2006 financial
statements for TransCommunity, which statements were included in
TransCommunitys Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission).
|
|
NOTE 2
|
Impacts
of Certain Accounting Pronouncements:
|
In September 2006, the FASB released SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurement, which provides guidance for
using fair value to measure assets and liabilities.
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The Statement also responds to investors
requests for more information about the extent to which
companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the
information used to measure fair value and the effect that fair
value measurements have on earnings. SFAS No. 157 will
apply whenever another standard requires (or permits) assets or
liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not
expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 157
is effective for TransCommunity for years beginning after
January 1, 2008, and interim periods within that year.
TransCommunity is in the process of evaluating the impact that
the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at
fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the
fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings.
This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an
entitys first fiscal year beginning after
November 15, 2007. TransCommunity is currently in the
process of evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on
its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) |
The September 30, 2007 unrealized loss was the aggregate of
11 U.S. Agency notes, none of which had a continuous loss
period of more than 12 months. The December 31, 2006
unrealized loss was the aggregate of 20 U.S. Agency
notes, of which 11 had a continuous loss period of more than
12 months. The unrealized loss positions in both years were
primarily related to interest rate movements as there is minimal
credit risk exposure in these investments. All securities are
investment grade or better. No impairment loss has been
recognized on these securities because management has both the
intent and the ability to hold these securities until maturity
or call dates.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary
impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently
when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.
Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the
extent to which the fair value has been less than cost,
(2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the
issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of
TransCommunitys subsidiary bank to retain its investment
in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any
anticipated recovery in fair value.

Stock
Based Compensation:

2001
Stock Option Plan
A stock option plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the
Bank of Powhatan on May 8, 2001 (the 2001
Plan). This 2001 Plan was adopted by TransCommunity
effective August 15, 2001 in connection with the
reorganization in which the Bank of Powhatan became a subsidiary
of TransCommunity. The purpose of the 2001 Plan was to reward
employees and directors for services rendered and to foster the
success of TransCommunity and its subsidiary by providing
incentives to employees and directors that will promote the
alignment of their personal financial interest with the
long-term financial success of TransCommunity and its
subsidiaries and with growth in shareholder value. The 2001 Plan
provided that options for up to 330,000 shares of
TransCommunity common stock may be issued. Under the 2001 Plan,
annual grants of stock options were limited to
10,000 shares for each employee and 7,500 shares for
each director. The exercise price may not be less than 100% of
the fair market value of the shares on the grant date. Unless
the Compensation Committee of TransCommunitys Board of
Directors determines otherwise, one-third of a grant becomes
vested and exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries
of the initial grant date. Each grant becomes fully vested and
exercisable in the event of a change in control of
TransCommunity. All options are subject to exercise or
forfeiture if TransCommunitys capital falls below its
minimum requirements, as determined by its primary regulator,
and TransCommunitys primary regulator so directs. At
September 2007, options to acquire 275,275 shares were
outstanding, of which 233,275 were exercisable at that date.
Effective January 1, 2006, TransCommunity adopted
SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, using
the modified prospective transition method.
SFAS No. 123R requires companies to calculate
compensation expense arising from stock-based compensation based
on the respective fair values of awards at grant date.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of 56,000 options
granted under the 2001 Plan during the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, was $2.43 per share, which equaled
$136,080. The weighted average exercise price of options granted
during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $8.53
per share.
Options granted under the Plan generally expire ten years after
the date of grant and are granted at market value of the stock
on the date of grant. Option terms are determined by the
Compensation Committee of TransCommunitys Board of
Directors at the time of the grant. TransCommunity utilizes the
Black Scholes model to calculate fair values of options awarded.
This model requires assumptions as to expected volatility,
dividends, terms and risk free rates.
Assumptions used for the periods covered herein are outlined in
the following table:

Expected volatilities are based on volatility trends of similar
entities in the region, as defined by the
SNL Mid-Atlantic
Bank Index. Expected dividends reflect the experience of
TransCommunitys common stock. Expected terms represent the
period of time that options granted are expected to be
outstanding. The risk free rate is based on the
U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant
for the appropriate life of each option.
On May 29, 2007, shareholders approved the TransCommunity
Financial Corporation 2007 Equity Compensation Plan. As a
result, TransCommunity will not make any more stock option
grants under the 2001 Plan.
2007
Equity Compensation Plan
On May 29, 2007, the shareholders of TransCommunity
approved the TransCommunity Financial Corporation 2007 Equity
Compensation Plan (the 2007 Plan). The complete text
of the 2007 Plan was filed as an exhibit to the
Form 10-Q
dated June 30, 2007. The following general description of
the principal features of the 2007 Plan is qualified in its
entirety by reference to such exhibit. Additional information
with respect to the 2007 Plan is included in
TransCommunitys proxy statement for its 2007 annual
meeting of shareholders, as filed with the Commission on
April 23, 2007.
The 2007 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee of
TransCommunitys Board of Directors to grant one or more of
the following awards to directors, officers, key employees,
consultants and advisors to TransCommunity

and its subsidiary who are designated by the Compensation
Committee: options; stock appreciation rights; stock awards;
performance share awards; incentive awards; and stock units. The
Compensation Committee will administer the 2007 Plan.
TransCommunity is authorized to issue under the 2007 Plan up to
250,000 shares of its common stock. Generally, if an award
is forfeited, expires or terminates, the shares allocated to
that award under the 2007 Plan may be reallocated to new awards
under the 2007 Plan. Shares surrendered pursuant to the exercise
of a stock option or other award or in satisfaction of tax
withholding requirements under the 2007 Plan may also be
reallocated to other awards. The 2007 Plan provides that if
there is a stock split, stock dividend or other event that
affects TransCommunitys capitalization, appropriate
adjustments will be made in the number of shares that may be
issued under the 2007 Plan and in the number of shares and price
of all outstanding grants and awards made before such event.
The 2007 Plan also provides that no award may be granted more
than 10 years after the earlier of the date that it is
approved by TransCommunitys shareholders or the date it is
adopted by TransCommunitys Board of Directors, which was
February 28, 2007.
The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the 2007 Plan at
any time, provided that no such amendment will be made without
shareholder approval if (i) the amendment would increase
the aggregate number of shares of TransCommunity common stock
that may be issued under the 2007 Plan (other than as permitted
under the 2007 Plan), (ii) the amendment changes the class
of individuals eligible to become participants or
(iii) such approval is required under any applicable law,
rule or regulation.
On July 25, 2007, agreements with market presidents and
corporate senior officers were executed for restricted stock
awards totaling 22,375 shares under the 2007 Plan. The
agreements grant fifty percent of the restricted stock on a
three year vesting schedule as follows:

March 1, 2010
|
|
60%
|
The remaining one-half of the restricted stock will be issued
March 1, 2010 if corporate pretax income for 2009 equals or
exceeds $3.0 million.
During the third quarter of 2007, TransCommunity recorded
expenses of $23 thousand related to stock based compensation,
and $57 thousand for the nine months ended September 30,
2007.

NOTE 5

Earnings
(Losses) Per Share:
|
Basic earnings (losses) per share (EPS) are computed
by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed
using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period, including the effect of dilutive potential
common shares outstanding attributable to stock awards. Reported
basic and dilutive earnings per share are the same as the effect
on EPS of TransCommunitys outstanding stock options would
be antidilutive.

Business
Segments:
|
Currently, the holding company operates as a shell company with
all operations performed by its subsidiary bank and recorded in
its records. All operations are reported under the Community
Banking segment.
Previously, TransCommunity had two reportable business segments:
Community Banking and TransCommunity as
reported June 30, 2007. The Community Banking segment
consisted of TransCommunitys four subsidiary banks which
were consolidated in June 2007, each of which provided loan,
deposit, mortgage and

investment services to retail and commercial customers in their
respective market areas. TransCommunity consisted of the parent
company, which wholly owned, the consolidated bank. All
operations are now performed within the bank.
During 2006, TransCommunity had two additional business
segments, Main Street Mortgage, which provided a
variety of mortgage loan products across the country under the
exemption granted as a subsidiary of a nationally-chartered
bank, and Financial Services, which offered trust,
asset management and securities and insurance brokerage
services. The activities of both of these business segments were
discontinued during 2006. The services previously provided by
both of these business segments have been transferred to the
Community Banking segment. Segment information previously
reported is as follows:

In the ordinary course of operations, TransCommunity and its
subsidiaries may be parties to various legal proceedings. The
following matters involve pending or potential claims:
Minter Lawsuit. On November 2, 2006,
James L. Minter filed a lawsuit against TransCommunity and
William C. Wiley, the former Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of the Board of Directors of TransCommunity, in the
Circuit Court of the County of Powhatan in Virginia. The suit
arises out of the Banks purchase of Main Street Mortgage
and Investment Corporation in early 2001. Minter alleges that in
late 2000 Wiley withheld information concerning the value of
Main Street Mortgage from the Banks board of directors and
that the Bank would not have acquired Main Street Mortgage if
the valuation had been provided to the Banks board.
Minters suit claims that TransCommunity aided and abetted
and conspired with Wiley in his misrepresentation of Main Street
Mortgages value. Minters suit also alleges that the
December 2005 separation agreement between TransCommunity and
Wiley improperly released claims TransCommunity had against
Wiley arising out of Wileys alleged concealment of the
Main Street Mortgage valuation from the Banks board in
late 2000. Minter seeks unspecified rescissionary and
compensatory damages, unspecified treble damages and punitive
damages of $350,000 against each defendant, jointly and
severally and with interest. Minter also seeks to recover his
attorneys fees.
TransCommunity moved for a dismissal of the lawsuit, brought
claims against Minter for breach of fiduciary duty related to
his use of confidential Company information for personal gain
and removed him from the board of the Bank of Powhatan. In
response to TransCommunitys motion to dismiss the lawsuit,
on August 8, 2007, the court dismissed the two counts that
Minter had asserted against TransCommunity. The court, however,
permitted Minter to replead the count in which Minter alleged
that TransCommunity aided and abetted Wiley in his allegedly
fraudulent conduct.
F-37
TRANSCOMMUNITY
FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Minter amended his complaint, and the only claim against
TransCommunity is based on TransCommunitys alleged
derivative liability for Wileys conduct. The underlying
factual allegations are the same; however, Minter now alleges
that TransCommunity is liable for Wileys conduct because
he was acting as an agent of TransCommunity. TransCommunity has
again moved for a dismissal of Minters claim. A hearing on
TransCommunitys motion is set for December 7, 2007.
TransCommunity believes that, insofar as it concerns
TransCommunity, Minters suit is without merit.
Based on the facts presently known, TransCommunity believes it
has limited liability exposure arising from this lawsuit.
However, since the case is in the early stages, TransCommunity
is unable to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome
or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any, in
this matter.
On September 5, 2007, TransCommunity entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger with Community Bankers. The Merger
Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of Community
Bankers acquisition of TransCommunity through the merger
of TransCommunity with and into Community Bankers.
TransCommunity Bank, N.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
TransCommunity, will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Community Bankers in the Merger.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Community Bankers will
issue to the shareholders of TransCommunity, for each share of
TransCommunitys common stock that they own,
1.4200 shares of Community Bankers common stock (the
Exchange Ratio), subject to adjustment as described
below. If the daily average closing price for Community
Bankers common stock for the 20 consecutive days of
trading in such stock ending five days before the closing date
is less than $7.42, Community Bankers will increase the Exchange
Ratio to the quotient obtained by dividing $10.5364 by such
daily average closing price. There will be no adjustment if such
daily average closing price is $7.42 or greater.
In addition, at the effective time of the Merger, each
outstanding option to purchase shares of TransCommunitys
common stock under any of TransCommunitys stock plans
shall vest pursuant to its terms and shall be converted into an
option to acquire the number of shares of Community
Bankers common stock equal to the number of shares of
TransCommunitys common stock underlying the option
multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price of each
option will be adjusted accordingly.
The Merger Agreement also provides for the headquarters of the
resulting company to be located at the headquarters of
TransCommunity. Following the consummation of the Merger, the
Board of Directors of Community Bankers will consist of
10 directors, four of whom will be nominated by Community
Bankers and six of whom will be nominated by TransCommunity. In
addition, the chief executive officer and chief financial
officer of TransCommunity will take those positions with
Community Bankers, and the chief executive officer of Community
Bankers will become its chief strategic officer.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to a number of customary
conditions including the approval of the Merger by the
shareholders of each of TransCommunity and Community Bankers and
the receipt of all required regulatory approvals. The Merger is
expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2007.
A copy of the Merger Agreement and related documents can be
found in the
Form 8-K
filed September 6, 2007.

Report of
the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
TransCommunity Financial Corporation
Glen Allen, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
TransCommunity Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity and
cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of TransCommunity Financial Corporation and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements, in 2006 TransCommunity Financial Corporation and
Subsidiaries adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards

We have audited, before the effects of the adjustments for the
correction of the error described in Note 25, the
consolidated statement of operations, changes in
stockholders equity, and cash flows of TransCommunity
Financial Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2004
(the 2004 financial statements before the effects of the
adjustments discussed in Note 25 are not presented herein).
The 2004 consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of
America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, except for the error described in Note 25,
the 2004 financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, and the results of operations and its cash flows of
TransCommunity Financial Corporation for the year ended
December 31, 2004 in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
We were not engaged to audit, review or apply any procedures to
the adjustments for the correction of the error described in
Note 25 and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or
any other form of assurance about whether such adjustments are
appropriate and have been properly applied. Those adjustments
were audited by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP.

NOTE 1

NATURE OF
OPERATIONS:
|
TransCommunity Financial Corporation (TransCommunity
or the Company) is a bank holding company whose
principal activity is the formation, ownership and operation of
independently-managed community banks. TransCommunitys
first subsidiary, the Bank of Powhatan, N.A. (Bank of
Powhatan), was organized as a national banking association
in 1999, and commenced operations on March 20, 2000.
TransCommunitys second subsidiary, Bank of Goochland, N.A.
(Bank of Goochland), was organized and incorporated
during 2002, and commenced operations on November 25, 2002.
On April 19, 2004, TransCommunity established its third
independent community bank in the central Virginia area, the
Bank of Louisa, N.A. (Bank of Louisa),
TransCommunity initially established the Bank of Louisa in July
2003 as a branch of Bank of Powhatan. The assets and liabilities
of this branch office were transferred to Bank of Louisa
contemporaneously with the receipt by that bank of its
independent national banking charter in April 2004. On
December 11, 2006, TransCommunity commenced the operations
of the Bank of Rockbridge, its fourth subsidiary bank
(Bank of Rockbridge together with Bank of Powhatan,
Bank of Goochland, and Bank of Louisa, the banks.)
TransCommunitys subsidiary banks are subject to regulation
by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Virginia Bureau of Financial
Institution, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. The banks provide general banking services to
individuals, small- and medium-size businesses and the
professional communities of Powhatan, Goochland, Rockbridge, and
Louisa Counties of Virginia and surrounding areas.
On January 1, 2001, the Bank of Powhatan purchased Main
Street Mortgage and Investment Corporation (Main
Street) which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
bank. Main Street originated commercial and residential real
estate loans for investors throughout the state. However, in
November of 2006, the Board of Directors voted to discontinue
the operations of Main Street.
During 2004, TransCommunity applied for and received authority
to offer trust services through each of its national bank
subsidiaries. TransCommunity Investment Advisors, Inc., an
investment advisory subsidiary, was formed to handle asset
management and TransCommunity Investment Services, an insurance
agency and investment broker, was established to broaden the
scope of financial services available through each of the
subsidiary banks. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Board
of Directors directed management to discontinue the operations
of these non-bank activities.

NOTE 2

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
|
Basis of financial presentation The
accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its
subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (US GAAP) and predominant
practices within the banking industry. The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements 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. These
estimates and assumptions also affect reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
The principal estimate that is particularly susceptible to
significant change in the near term relates to the allowance for
loan losses. The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses includes an analysis of the individual loans and
overall risk characteristics and size of the different loan
portfolios, and takes into consideration current economic and
market conditions, the capability of specific borrowers to pay
specific loan obligations, and current loan collateral values.

TRANSCOMMUNITY
FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on
loans, management obtains independent appraisals for significant
collateral. Actual losses on specific loans, which also are
encompassed in the analysis, may vary from estimated losses.
Principles of consolidation The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company, which
is a bank holding company that owns all of the outstanding
common stock of its banking subsidiaries, Bank of Powhatan, Bank
of Goochland, Bank of Louisa, Bank of Rockbridge, and Main
Street Mortgage and Investment Corporation, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Bank of Powhatan. All significant inter-company
balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Business segments SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information establishes standards for the way public
business enterprises report information about operating segments
in annual financial statements and requires that those
enterprises report selected information about operating segments
in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also
establishes standards for related disclosure about products and
services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating
segments are components of an enterprise about which separate
financial information is available that is evaluated regularly
by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to
allocate resources and assess performance. The statement also
requires that public enterprises report a measure of segment
profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items and
segment assets. It also requires that information be reported
about revenues derived from the enterprises products or
services, or about the countries in which the enterprises earn
revenues and hold assets, and about major customers, regardless
of whether the information is used in making operating
decisions. The accounting policies of the segments are the same
as those described in this Note.
Management has determined that the Company has two current
reportable segments, Community Banking and TransCommunity
(the holding company). All of the Companys
subsidiary banks activities are interrelated, and each of
their activities is dependent and assessed based on how each of
the subsidiary banks consolidated activities for the
Company supports the others. For example, commercial lending is
dependent upon the ability of the subsidiary banks to fund
themselves with retail deposits and other borrowings and to
manage interest rate and credit risk. This situation is also
similar for consumer and residential mortgage lending.
Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon
analysis of the consolidated operations of the subsidiary banks
as a consolidated segment. The current operations of the holding
company are identified as a segment due to their consolidated
support services supplied to the subsidiary banks and the cost
related to those support services as an operating unit.
The Company has also reported in the past several operating
segments that have been discontinued. These discontinued
operating segments within the Companys operations,
although no longer in existence, will be segregated for
comparative reasons and to identify the discontinued operations
impact on the companys past operations.
The financial statement information of the parent company is
included as a reportable segment. This segment is principally
involved with providing managerial support and the operation of
the shared services platform for the other reportable segments.

Investment securities The Company accounts
for its investment securities in accordance with
SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities. Investment securities that the
Company has the ability and intent to hold to maturity are
classified as held-to-maturity and are stated at cost, adjusted
for premium amortization and discount accretion. Securities
which are held for indefinite periods of time which management
intends to use as part of its asset/liability management
strategy, or that may be sold in response to changes in interest
rates, changes in prepayment risk, increased capital
requirements or other similar factors, are classified as
available-for-sale and are carried at fair market value. Net
unrealized gains and losses for such securities, net of income
tax effect, are charged/credited directly to accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders
equity. Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade
date basis. Gains or losses on disposition of investment
securities are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted
carrying amount of the securities sold using the specific
identification method.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company did not have
any foreign investment securities or securities designated as
trading account investments.
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activity, established accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
SFAS No. 133 was amended by SFAS No. 138,
Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities. The Companys adoption of
SFAS No. 133, as amended, did not have a material
impact on its financial condition or results of operations. The
Company did not have any derivatives at December 31, 2006
and 2005.
The Company adopted
EITF 03-1,
The Meaning of Other than Temporary Impairment and Its
Application to Certain Investments, as of December 31,
2003.
EITF 03-1
includes certain required quantitative and qualitative
disclosures for investment securities accounted for under
SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities, that are impaired at the balance
sheet date, but an other-than-temporary impairment has not been
recognized. In November 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position FSP
No. FAS 115-1
and
FAS 124-1,
The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its
Application to Certain Investments. This FSP provides
guidance on determining when an investment is considered
impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and
the measurement of an impairment loss. The FSP also provides
accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an
other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures
about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as
other-than-temporary impairments. The Company adopted FSP

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
No. FAS 115-1
and
FAS 124-1
as of December 31, 2005. The disclosures required under
EITF 03-1
and FSP
No. FAS 115-1
and
FAS 124-1
are included in these consolidated financial statements.
Loans and allowance for loan losses Loans
that management has the intent and the ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the
amount of unpaid principal net of unearned discount, unamortized
loan fees and loan origination costs and an allowance for loan
losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a
provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged
against the allowance for loan losses when management believes
that the collectibility of principal is unlikely. The allowance
for loan losses is maintained at a level that management
considers adequate to provide for credit losses inherent in the
loan portfolios at the reporting date. The level of the
allowance is based on managements evaluation of risk of
loss in the loan portfolios after consideration of prevailing
and anticipated economic conditions, including estimates and
appraisals, among other items, known or anticipated at each
reporting date. On a periodic basis during the year, management
makes credit reviews of the loan portfolios designed to identify
any changes in the loans since initial booking impacting their
quality rating. This review is designed to identify potential
changes to the loan loss reserve.
Interest income on loans is credited to operations based upon
the principal amount outstanding. The net amounts of origination
fees, origination costs and commitment fees are deferred and
recognized over the lives of the related loans and leases as
adjustments of yield. When management believes there is
sufficient doubt as to the ultimate collectibility of interest
on any loan, the accrual of applicable interest is discontinued.
A loan is generally classified as nonaccrual when principal and
interest have consistently been in default for a period of
90 days or more or because of deterioration in the
financial condition of the borrower, and payment in full of
principal or interest is not expected. Loans past due
90 days or more and still accruing interest are loans that
are generally well-secured and expected to be restored to a
current status in the near future or are in the process of
collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or are
charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or
interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed
on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest
income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the
cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return
to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the
principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought
current and future payments are reasonably assured.
The Company follows SFAS No. 114, Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by
SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan Income Recognition and
Disclosures. This standard requires that certain impaired
loans be measured based on the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest
rates, except that as a practical expedient, a creditor may
measure impairment based on a loans observable market
price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent. Regardless of the measurement method, a
creditor must measure impairment based on the fair value of the
collateral when the creditor determines that foreclosure is
probable.
Premises and equipment Premises and equipment
are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation is computed primarily on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of
the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is shorter.
The Company follows SFAS No. 144, Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
SFAS No. 144 retained the existing requirements to
recognize and measure the impairment of long-lived assets to be
held and used or to be disposed of by sale.
SFAS No. 144 also changed the requirements relating to
reporting the effects of a disposal or discontinuation of a
segment of a business.
Transfers of Financial Assets The Company
follows SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities a replacement of
SFAS No. 125 (Statement 140).
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when
control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over
transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the
assets have been isolated from the
F-50
TRANSCOMMUNITY
FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of
conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that
right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and
(3) the Company does not maintain effective control over
the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them
before their maturity.
TransCommunity serves as the lead bank in certain loan
transactions where they sell a portion of the loans to other
participating banks. For loans participated with other banks,
TransCommunity collects payments of principal and interest from
the borrowers and distributes the participating banks
interest to them on a pro rata basis. TransCommunity does not
have any servicing agreements related to these participation
loans. Accordingly, there are no servicing assets or liabilities
recorded. Any retained interests in participation loans are
included in total loans in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets and are accounted for consistent with the accounting
policies applied to all loans.
Goodwill and intangible assets
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, requires
that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations.. For purchase acquisitions, the Company is
required to record assets acquired, including identifiable
intangible assets, and liabilities assumed at their fair value,
which in many instances involves estimates based on third party
valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on
discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation techniques.
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
prescribes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets
subsequent to initial recognition. The provisions of
SFAS No. 142 discontinue the amortization of goodwill
and intangible assets with indefinite lives but require at least
an annual impairment review, and more frequently if certain
impairment indicators are in evidence. The Company adopted
SFAS 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial
Institutions, on January 1, 2002 and determined that
core deposit intangibles will continue to be amortized over the
estimated useful life.
Income taxes The Company accounts for income
taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax bases of
assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that
expects to be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred
tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and
liabilities. The principal types of accounts resulting in
differences between assets and liabilities for financial
statement and tax return purposes are the allowance for loan
losses, interest income on nonaccrual loans, depreciation and
amortization, difference between book and tax bases of assets
acquired and net operating loss carryforwards. The Company and
its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.
Statements of cash flows Cash and cash
equivalents are defined as the sum of cash on hand, non
interest-bearing amounts due from banks and federal funds sold.
Generally, federal funds are sold for a
one-day
period.
Other real estate owned Other real estate
owned is recorded at lower of cost or market value less costs of
disposal. When property is acquired, the excess, if any, of the
loan balance over fair market value is charged to the allowance
for loan losses. Periodically thereafter, the asset is reviewed
for subsequent declines in the estimated fair market value.
Subsequent declines, if any, holding costs and gains and losses
on subsequent sale are included in the consolidated statements
of operations. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company
held no other real estate owned.
Marketing costs The Company expenses
marketing costs as incurred. Marketing expenses for the years
ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 were approximately
$221 thousand, $428 thousand and $373 thousand, respectively.
Earnings per share Basic earnings per share
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available
to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes
into account the potential dilution that could occur if stock
options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised
and converted into common stock. Stock options for 241,725,
256,325 and 317,375 shares of common stock were not
considered in computing diluted earnings per share for 2006,
2005 and 2004, respectively, because they were antidilutive.

STATEMENTS (Continued)
Stock based compensation In December 2004,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based
Payment, that addresses the accounting for share-based
payment transactions in which an enterprise exchanges its equity
instruments for goods and services. The Statement eliminates the
ability to account for share-based compensation transactions
using Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and requires instead that such transactions be
accounted for using a fair-value-based method.
SFAS No. 123R required implementation by the beginning
of the first fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005.
On January 1, 2006, TransCommunity implemented
SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective
transition method. By implementing SFAS No. 123R,
TransCommunity recorded $31 thousand of additional compensation
expense during the year ended December 31, 2006, resulting
from the application of fair-value-based accounting to its
stock-based compensation programs. See Note 16 for more
information about TransCommunitys stock-based compensation
programs.
Comprehensive income (loss) The Company
follows the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 requires
the reporting of comprehensive income which includes net income
(loss) as well as certain other items that result in a change to
shareholders equity during the period.
Reclassifications and restatements Certain
reclassifications have been made in the 2004 and 2005 financial
statements to conform to the classifications used in 2006.
Additionally, certain restatements were made to 2005 and 2004
financial statements as discussed in Note 25.
New Accounting Pronouncements In May 2005,
the FASB issued Statement No. 154, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of APB
Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3
(SFAS 154). SFAS 154 changes the
accounting for and reporting of a voluntary change in accounting
principle and replaces ABP Opinion No. 20,
Accounting Changes and FASB Statement
No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim
Financial Statements. Under Opinion No. 20, most
changes in accounting principle were reported in the income
statement of the period of change as a cumulative adjustment.
However, under SFAS 154, a voluntary change in accounting
principle must be shown retrospectively in the financial
statements, if practicable, for all periods presented. In cases
where retrospective application is impracticable, an adjustment
to the assets, liabilities and a corresponding adjustment to
retained earnings can be made as of the beginning of the
earliest period for which retrospective application is
practicable rather than being reported in the income statement.
SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years after
December 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate this
revision will have a material effect on its financial position
or results of operations.
In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155,
Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments an Amendment of FASB Statements
No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155).
SFAS 155 amends FASB Statements No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities. SFAS 155 resolves issues addressed in
Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1,
Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in
Securitized Financial Assets. SFAS 155 provides a
fair value measurement option for certain hybrid financial
instruments that contain an embedded derivative that would
otherwise require bifurcation. Adoption of SFAS 155 is
required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning
subsequent to September 15, 2006. The Company does not
anticipate the adoption of SFAS 155 in January 2007 will
have a material effect on its financial position or results of
operations.
In March 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 156,
Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 140 (SFAS 156).
SFAS 156 amends FASB Statement No. 140,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the
accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and
servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 requires an entity to
recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it
undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by
entering into a servicing contract to be initially measured at
fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 also permits entities
to subsequently measure servicing assets and liabilities using
an amortization method or fair value measurement method. Under
the amortization method, servicing assets and liabilities are
amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of
F-52

STATEMENTS (Continued)
servicing. Under the fair value measurement method, servicing
assets are measured at fair value at each reporting date and
changes in fair value are reported in net income for the period
during which the change occurs. Adoption of SFAS 156 is
required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning
subsequent to September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is
permitted as of the beginning of an entitys fiscal year,
provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements,
including interim financial statements, for any period of that
fiscal year. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of
SFAS 156 in January 2007 will have a material effect on its
financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB released SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurement, which provides
guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities.
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The standard also responds to investors
requests for more information about the extent to which
companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value,
the information used to measure fair value and the effect that
fair value measurements have on earnings. SFAS No. 157
will apply whenever another standard requires (or permits)
assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard
does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for financial years beginning after November 15,
2007, and interim periods within those years.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company for years
beginning after January 1, 2008, and interim periods within
that year. The Company is in the process of evaluating the
impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on
its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In June 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises
financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition
and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken
in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. Earlier application of the provisions of
this interpretation is encouraged if the enterprise has not yet
issued financial statements, including interim statements, in
the period this interpretation is adopted. TransCommunity has
evaluated FIN 48 and concluded that the adoption of this
interpretation will have no material impact on its financial
statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities. This standard permits entities
to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain
other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items
for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in
earnings. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an
entitys first fiscal year beginning after
November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the
beginning of the fiscal year that begins on or before
November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply
the provisions of SFAS 157 Fair Value
Measurement. The Company is currently in the process
of evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on its
consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The 2006 unrealized loss is the aggregate of 20 U.S. Agency
notes, of which 11 have a continuous loss period of more than
12 months. The 2005 unrealized loss is the aggregate of 18
U.S. Agency notes, of which 11 have a

continuous loss period of more than 12 months. The
unrealized loss positions in both years were primarily related
to interest rate movements as there is minimal credit risk
exposure in these investments. All securities are investment
grade or better. No impairment loss has been recognized on these
securities because management has both the intent and the
ability to hold these securities until maturity or call dates.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary
impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently
when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.
Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the
extent to which the fair value has been less than cost,
(2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the
issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of
TransCommunitys subsidiary banks to retain its investment
in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any
anticipated recovery in fair value.
The carrying amount (which approximates fair value) of
securities pledged by the banks to secure public deposits
amounted to $11.3 million and $11.8 million at
December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
TransCommunitys subsidiary banks are required to hold
stock in the Federal Reserve Bank. The investment in Federal
Reserve Bank stock is recorded at cost of $831 thousand and $536
thousand as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The Company also held $65 thousand in Virginia Bankers
Association Title Insurance Company Stock at year end 2006,
which are classified as Other Investments in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Loans receivable outstanding at December 31, 2006 and 2005

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the total recorded
investment in loans in nonaccrual status amounted to $920
thousand and $25 thousand, respectively, and the total recorded
investment in loans past due 90 days or more and still
accruing interest amounted to approximately $41 thousand and
$140 thousand, respectively. These nonaccrual and past due loans
consist of smaller balance homogenous loans that are
collectively evaluated for impairment.
TransCommunitys banking subsidiaries have entered into
transactions with certain directors, executive officers,
significant stockholders, and their affiliates. Such
transactions were made in the ordinary course of business on
substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest
rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for
comparable transactions with other customers, and did not, in
the opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk
or present other unfavorable features.

NOTE 9

NOTES PAYABLE
AND SECURED BORROWINGS:
|
Notes Payable On July 21, 2006, Main
Street Mortgage and Financial Corporation entered into a $500
thousand unsecured revolving line of credit fully guaranteed by
TransCommunity. This fully drawn line of credit, due upon
demand, required monthly interest only payments based on the
prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal, which
was 8.25% at December 31, 2006. Interest was paid as agreed
by Main Street until year-end 2006, when it discontinued
operations and TransCommunity assumed the note. During 2006,
interest expense associated with this line of credit was $18
thousand and is included in the results of discontinued
operations. Starting January 2007, TransCommunity continued
interest payments until March 2007, when the note was paid in
full.
Secured Borrowings Secured borrowings
amounted to $12.5 million at December 31, 2005.
Pursuant to SFAS Statement 140, certain loan participation
agreements did not qualify for sale accounting due to buyback
provisions included within the agreement, thus the Company had
not surrendered control over the transferred loans and had
accounted for the transfers as secured borrowings. During
September 2006, the Company amended all participation loan
agreements such that as of September 29, 2006, all loan
participation agreements became eligible for sale accounting in
accordance with Statement 140 and as a result the secured
borrowings were short-term in nature.
TransCommunity is authorized to issue up to
25,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per
share, and up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
$.01 par value per share. At December 31, 2006 and
December 31, 2005 TransCommunity had 4,581,741 shares
of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. On the
same dates no shares of preferred stock were issued or
outstanding.
During the period June 2004 to February 2005, TransCommunity
sold 225,528 shares of common stock in a non-underwritten
public offering, at a purchase price of $15 per share.
Additionally, 100 shares of common stock were issued in
2005 in connection with an option exercise by one option holder.
These shares were issued at an option exercise price of $10.00
per share. In July 2005, TransCommunity sold
2,300,000 shares of common stock in an underwritten public
offering to a limited number of institutional investors at a
purchase price of $8.00 per share. The minimum share purchase
requirement in the offering was 25,000 shares per investor.
In November 2005, TransCommunity repurchased 11,500 shares
of common stock issued in the
2004-2005
non-underwritten offering from one person residing in a
jurisdiction in which such shares had not been properly
registered for sale. The shares were repurchased at the original
issue price at $15 per share.

The true up of prior year net deferred tax assets, totaling
$251,000, reflected in the preceding table principally
represents a net increase in deferred tax assets associated with
the income tax effects of adjustments made to temporary
differences related to net operating loss carry forwards and
allowances for loan losses.
At December 31, 2006, TransCommunity had total net
operating loss carryforwards of $7.5 million which begin to
expire after December 31, 2020.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, TransCommunity
generated taxable income of $1 million which is fully
offset by available net operating losses generated in prior
years. However, as a result of a 90% limitation with respect to
deducting alternative minimum tax net operating loss carryovers,
TransCommunitys current expense for income taxes for the
year ended December 31, 2006 is $15 thousand in alternative
minimum tax. TransCommunity may be subject to the alternative
minimum tax in future years.
The net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005,
consisted primarily of the tax effect of net operating loss
carryforwards incurred in years after December 31, 2000.
The net deferred tax assets recognized, at December 31,
2006 and 2005, are fully offset by a valuation allowance since,
at this time, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that
TransCommunity will produce continuing and sufficient taxable
income in the future to utilize its net operating losses and
other deductible temporary differences.
The Company issued common stock in 2002 and 2005 resulting in a
more than 50% change in ownership. As a result, utilization of
certain of the Companys net operating losses incurred in
the periods prior to the changes are limited under Internal
Revenue Code § 382 as to the amount that can be used
to offset taxable income in subsequent years. In 2005, the
Company incurred approximately $656 thousand of net operating
loss after the change of control. Taxable income in future years
that exceed the annual § 382 limit and the post change
of control net operating loss will be taxed at regular corporate
tax rates.

NOTE 13

CONCENTRATION
OF CREDIT RISK:
|
Most of the banks loans are made to customers in the
banks trade areas. Accordingly, the ultimate
collectibility of the banks loan portfolio is susceptible
to changes in local economic conditions. The types of loans made
by the banks are described in Note 5. Collateral required
by the banks is determined on an individual basis depending on
the nature of the loan and the financial condition of the
borrower. TransCommunity has a concentration of loans secured by
real estate. At December 31, 2006, real estate loans
represented 73.3% of the loans in the consolidated portfolio.
Real estate lending by the banks generally consists of
commercial real estate loans, construction and development
loans, and residential and home equity loans.
The Company maintains deposits at other high credit quality
commercial banks that may, at times, exceed federally insured
limits.

SELECTED
FINANCIAL DATA FOR DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
|
Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the following
information and related financial data is provided for operating
segments where operations were discontinued during the years
ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
On November 29, 2006, the TransCommunity board of directors
directed the Companys management to close Main Street
Mortgage, a mortgage brokerage company, enabling it to better
align TransCommunitys operations with its community
banking focus. Main Street Mortgage had operated as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank of Powhatan, a wholly-owed
subsidiary of TransCommunity, since 2001.
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the TransCommunity board of
directors voted to discontinue offering the trust banking, asset
management and insurance and securities brokerage services being
offered through TransCommunitys financial services
operating segment.

During the second quarter of 2006, TransCommunity completed an
impairment test of its goodwill in accordance with the specific
requirements of SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets. This Statement addresses
financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and
other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17,
Intangible Assets. It addresses how intangible
assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other
assets should be accounted for in financial statements upon
their acquisition. This Statement also addresses how goodwill
and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they
have been initially recognized in the financial statements.
Based on second quarter personnel changes and a continued
deterioration of the financial condition of Main Street
Mortgage, the Company believed the $321 thousand of goodwill
reported as other assets associated with the acquisition of Main
Street Mortgage should be tested for impairment. The Company
used a valuation approach which included comparisons of
historical forecasts to actual results and earnings forecasts
for the next year to determine if the fair value of the
subsidiary exceeded the book value. Because goodwill is defined
as the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair
value of all identifiable tangible and intangible assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed, the Company was required
to calculate the fair value of such assets and liabilities for
Main Street Mortgage. Through this process, the Company
concluded that the entire $321 thousand of goodwill was impaired
and this amount was charged to operating expenses during the
second quarter of 2006.

NOTE 16

STOCK
OPTION PLAN:
|
Under the Companys Stock Option Plan (the
Plan), the Company may grant options to its
directors, officers and employees for up to 330,000 of common
stock. Annual grants of stock options are limited to
10,000 shares for each employee and 7,500 shares for
each director. Both incentive stock options and non-qualified
stock options may be granted under the plan. Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which
requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment
transactions be recognized in the financial statements with
measurement based upon the fair value of the equity or liability
instruments issued.
The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Bank of
Powhatan on May 8, 2001. This Plan was adopted by
TransCommunity effective August 15, 2001 in connection with
the Reorganization whereby the Bank of Powhatan became a
subsidiary of TransCommunity. The purpose of the Plan is to
reward employees and directors for services rendered and
investment risks undertaken to date and to promote the success
of TransCommunity and its subsidiaries by providing incentives
to employees and directors that will promote the alignment of
their personal financial interest with the long-term financial
success of TransCommunity, its subsidiaries and with growth in
shareholder value. The exercise price may not be less than 100%
of the fair market value of the shares on the grant date. Unless
the Stock Option Committee determines otherwise, one-third of a
grant becomes vested and exercisable on each of the first three
anniversaries of the initial grant date. Each grant becomes
fully vested and exercisable in the event of a change in control
of TransCommunity. All options are subject to exercise or

forfeiture if TransCommunitys capital falls below its
minimum requirements, as determined by its primary regulator,
and TransCommunitys primary regulator so directs. The Plan
will expire on May 7, 2011, unless terminated sooner by the
Board of Directors.
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss
per share as if TransCommunity had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to the stock
option plan.

The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of
comparable peer banks. The risk free interest rates for periods
within the contractual life of the awards are based on the
U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of the grant. The
expected life is based on the historical exercise experience.
The dividend yield assumption is based on the Companys
history and expectation of dividend payouts.

The Board awarded a former executive 25,000
restricted shares of TransCommunity stock. The
shares became fully vested on December 31, 2005. The
compensation cost related to the restricted stock award was
expensed over the requisite service period. Deferred
compensation expense of $0, $76 thousand, and $95 thousand was
recorded for 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

NOTE 17
|
REGULATORY
MATTERS:
|
Both TransCommunity and its subsidiaries are subject to various
regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal
banking agencies. If TransCommunity, or its subsidiary banks,
fail to meet minimum capital requirements, its primary
regulators can initiate certain mandatory and possible
additional discretionary actions. If such actions are
undertaken, they could have a direct material effect on
TransCommunitys financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, TransCommunitys subsidiary banks must
meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of each banks assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. Capital amounts and classification are
also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt
corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding
companies.
Quantitative measures are established by bank regulations to
ensure capital adequacy. The Banks are required to maintain
minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital (as
defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined)
and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as
defined). At December 31, 2006 and 2005, management
believes that the Company and the Banks met all capital adequacy
requirements to which they are subject.

of Financial Statements defines the fair value of a
financial instrument as the amount at which a financial
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale. As the
majority of the Banks financial instruments lack an
available trading market, significant estimates, assumptions and
present value calculations are required to determine estimated
fair value.
Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate
fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also,
management is concerned that there may not be reasonable
comparability between the Company and other financial
institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and
methodologies in the absence of active markets. This lack of
uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in
estimating financial instrument fair values.
TransCommunity has determined estimated fair values using the
best available data and an estimation methodology suitable for
each category of financial instruments. The estimation
methodology used, the estimated fair values and the recorded
carrying value of financial instruments at December 31,
2006 and 2005 are as follows:

The estimated fair values of investment securities are based on
quoted market prices if available or on the quoted market prices
of comparable instruments if quoted market prices are not
available. The gross loan portfolio and time deposits are valued
using a present value discounted cash flow method where market
prices are not

available. The discount rate used in these calculations is the
estimated current market rate adjusted for credit risk. All
other financial instruments have fair values that approximate
the carrying value.
The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit are considered immaterial.

FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK:
|
In the normal course of business, the banks have outstanding
commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to
extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The banks exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments
for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit
is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those
instruments. The banks use the same credit policies in making
such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in
the consolidated balance sheets.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit
risk were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a
customer as long as there is no violation of any condition
established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require
payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do
not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The banks
evaluate each customers creditworthiness on a
case-by-case
basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by
the banks upon extension of credit, is based on
managements credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but
may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and
equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by
the banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third
party. Standby letters of credit generally have fixed expiration
dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a
fee. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan
facilities to customers. The banks policy for obtaining
collateral, and the nature of such collateral, is essentially
the same as that involved in making commitments to extend credit.

COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
|
TransCommunity has entered into a master agreement with a third
party to provide data processing services to the Company and its
subsidiary banks. This agreement is for an initial period of
48 months. Unless written notice of non-renewal is provided
by either party at least 180 days before expiration of any
term, the agreement shall automatically renew for a period of
4 years. The current monthly expense associated with these
agreements is approximately $53 thousand and is based
principally on the level of accounts at each subsidiary bank.
The Company and its subsidiaries lease banking facilities and
other office space under operating leases that expire at various
dates through 2014 and that contain certain renewal options.
Total rent expense for office and equipment for the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 amounted to $496
thousand, $623 thousand, and $531 thousand respectively.

CORRECTION
OF AN ERROR
|
On August 11, 2006, the Company concluded that the
previously issued financial statements contained in the
Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 2005 should not be relied
upon because of errors in those statements. The Company
discovered that it had incorrectly accounted for loans subject
to certain loan participation agreements entered into with
third-party financial institutions since the second quarter of
2004. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company implemented
an automated loan documentation system which contained the
option to include certain language that provided for termination
of the participation agreement. This right to repurchase the
participated balance allows the Company to retain a level of
control over the loans sold to third parties. This termination
clause allowed the originating institution to repurchase the
loans sold to third parties and thus the loan transfers did not
qualify for sale accounting treatment under
SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities a replacement of
SFAS No. 125. The Company had previously not
reflected the participated balances of loans subject to these
agreements on its balance sheet as required by
SFAS No. 140.
On January 22, 2007, the Company filed an amended Annual
Report on
Form 10-KSB/A
for the year ended December 31, 2005.
A summary of the restatements of the accompanying financial
statements is as follows:

On June 14, 2006, an individual and a company controlled by
the individual (Dean H. Gould and Cal-Flo Investments,
LLC) filed a lawsuit against Main Street
Mortgage & Investment Corporation (Main
Street), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of Powhatan,
and five other defendants that are not affiliated with Main
Street in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division,
in Wake County, North Carolina. The lawsuit arises from
F-72
TRANSCOMMUNITY
FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
three properties on which Main Street originated mortgage loans.
The loans at issue were made by third-party lenders, and neither
the Company nor any of its subsidiary banks hold any of the
loans for its own account. The plaintiffs allege that the
defendants developed a fraudulent scheme to originate these
mortgage loans through Main Street employing, with Main
Streets knowledge, inflated appraisals and other devices
that resulted in damages to the plaintiffs in the aggregate
amount of $100,000 to $150,000. The plaintiffs have requested
both compensatory and punitive damages.
Main Street filed an answer to the lawsuit and denies any
liability. There has been no further activity in the lawsuit
from any other party, and Main Street has ceased its business
operations and filed for dissolution under applicable Virginia
law.
At the present time, the case is in the early stages, there has
been no discovery, and accordingly, the Company, with advice
from its legal counsel, cannot conclude on the outcome or
estimate any potential loss.
On November 2, 2006, James L. Minter filed a lawsuit
against the Company and William C. Wiley, the former Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Company, in the Circuit Court of the County of Powhatan in
Virginia. Mr. Minter was a director of Bank of Powhatan, a
subsidiary of the Company (the Bank) until
January 12, 2007, when he was removed by the Company. He
was a former director of the Company until his resignation on
March 29, 2006. Mr. Wiley resigned as the
Companys Chief Executive Officer and from its board of
directors in December 2005.
The suit arises out of the Banks purchase of Main Street
Mortgage and Investment Corporation in early 2001.
Mr. Minter alleges that in late 2000 Wiley withheld
information concerning the value of Main Street Mortgage from
the Banks board of directors and that the Bank would not
have acquired Main Street Mortgage if the valuation had been
provided to the banks board. The Company acquired the
stock of the Bank in August 2001, several months after the Bank
acquired Main Street Mortgage. Mr. Minters suit
claims that the Company aided and abetted and conspired with
Wiley in his misrepresentation of Main Street Mortgages
value.
In 2004 a committee of the Companys board of directors
investigated the Banks acquisition of Main Street Mortgage
and concluded that Wiley had not defrauded the Banks board
and that any further action would not be in the Companys
best interests. The committee reported its findings and
recommendations to the boards of the Company and the Bank.
Mr. Minters suit also alleges that the December 2005
separation agreement between the Company and William Wiley
improperly released claims the Company had against Wiley arising
out of Wileys alleged concealment of the Main Street
Mortgage valuation from the Banks board in late 2000. The
Company believes that it never had a claim against Wiley in
connection with the Banks acquisition of Main Street
Mortgage and that the separation agreement did not release any
claim the Bank may have had against Wiley.
Against Wiley, Minter alleges that (a) Wiley conspired to
and engaged in a fraud on Minter by concealing and
misrepresenting valuations regarding Main Street, (b) Wiley
fraudulently induced Minter to invest in an entity unaffiliated
with the Company and has engaged in conversion of certain of
Minters funds, and (c) Wiley breached his fiduciary
duty to Minter, the Bank and the Company by concealing and
misrepresenting valuations regarding Main Street. In the same
proceeding, Minter has sued Wiley over a loss on an investment
Minter made in 1999 in a business Wiley owned or controlled. The
Company has had no interest in that business.
Minter seeks unspecified recessionary and compensatory damages,
unspecified treble damages and punitive damages of $350,000
against each defendant, jointly and severally and with interest.
Minter also seeks to recover his attorneys fees.
The Company believes, with advice from its legal counsel,
insofar as it concerns the Company, Mr. Minters suit
is without merit.

BOE
FINANCIAL SERVICES OF VIRGINIA, INC.
(Unaudited)
1. The accounting and reporting policies of BOE Financial
Services of Virginia, Inc. (the Company) conform to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America and to the general practices within the banking
industry. The interim financial statements have not been
audited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have
been included. Operating results for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2007.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and the footnotes included in the
Companys 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders. Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to
conform to the current period presentation.
2. Earnings per share are based on the weighted average
number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding
during the applicable periods. Potential dilutive common stock
had no material effect on income available to common
shareholders. No shares were excluded from the calculation
because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

3. Loans are shown on the balance sheets net of unearned
discounts and the allowance for loan losses. Interest is
computed by methods which result in level rates of return on
principal. Loans are charged off when in the opinion of
management they are deemed to be uncollectable after taking into
consideration such factors as the current financial condition of
the customer and the underlying collateral and guarantees. Loan
fees and origination costs are deferred and the net amount
amortized as an adjustment of the related loans yield using the
level yield method. Bank of Essex (the Bank), a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is amortizing these
amounts over the contractual life of the related loans.

by which the current market value of the underlying stock
exceeds the option price of the option) that would have been
received by the option holders had all option holders exercised
their options on September 30, 2007. This amount changes
based on changes in the market value of the Companys stock.
The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 was $878.
No stock-based compensation expense was recorded for the quarter
ended and nine months ended September 30, 2007 or 2006 as
no options were granted and all outstanding options were fully
vested.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc.
Tappahannock, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Corporations management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required
to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a
basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Corporations internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
As noted in Note 8 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for
its defined benefit pension plan to adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement
Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87,
88, 106, and 132(R).

Note 1.
|
Nature of
Banking Activities and Significant Accounting Policies
|
BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc. (the Corporation) is a
bank holding company, which owns all of the stock of its sole
subsidiaries, Bank of Essex (the Bank) and BOE Statutory
Trust I (the Trust). The Bank provides commercial,
residential and consumer loans, and a variety of deposit
products to its customers in the Northern Neck and Richmond
regions of Virginia.
Essex Services, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank
and was formed to sell title insurance to the Banks
mortgage loan customers. Essex Services, Inc. also offers
insurance and investment products through affiliations with two
limited liability companies.
Principles
of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Essex. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R) requires that
the Corporation no longer eliminate through consolidation the
equity investment in BOE Statutory Trust I, which
approximated $124,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005. The
subordinated debt of the Trust is reflected as a liability of
the Corporation.
Securities
Debt securities that management has the positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to
maturity and recorded at amortized cost. Securities not
classified as held to maturity, including equity securities with
readily determinable fair values, are classified as
available for sale and recorded at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported
in other comprehensive income.
Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest
income using the interest method over the terms of the
securities. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and
available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed
to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized
losses. In estimating other than temporary impairment losses,
management considers (1) the length of time and the extent
to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the
financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and
(3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its
investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to
allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and
losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date
and are determined using the specific identification method.
Restricted
Securities
The Corporation is required to maintain an investment in the
capital stock of certain correspondent banks. The
Corporations investment in these securities is recorded at
cost.
Loans
The Bank grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to
customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is
represented by mortgage loans. The ability of the Banks
debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real
estate and general economic conditions in the Banks market
area.
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are
reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted
for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred
fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on
the unpaid principal

Statements (Continued)
balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct
origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment
of the related loan yield using the interest method.
The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is
discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent
unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection.
Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than
180 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on
nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of
principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed
on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest
income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the
cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return
to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all of the
principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought
current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance
for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are
estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses
charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the
allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a
loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are
credited to the allowance.
The allowance is an amount that management believes will be
adequate to absorb estimated losses relating to specifically
identified loans, as well as probable credit losses inherent in
the balance of the loan portfolio, based on an evaluation of the
collectibility of existing loans and prior loss experience. This
evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes
in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall
portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current
economic conditions that may affect the borrowers ability
to pay. This evaluation does not include the effects of expected
losses on specific loans or groups of loans that are related to
future events or expected changes in economic conditions. While
management uses the best information available to make its
evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary
if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In
addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examination process, periodically review the Banks
allowance for loan losses, and may require the Bank to make
additions to the allowance based on their judgment about
information available to them at the time of their examinations.
The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated
components. For loans that are also classified as impaired, an
allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or
collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired
loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general
component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical
loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated
component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect
managements estimate of probable losses. The unallocated
component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision
inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies
for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
A loan is considered 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 management in determining impairment
include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of
collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.
Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment
shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management
determines the significance of payment delays and payment
shortfalls on a
case-by-case
basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances
surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of
the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrowers prior
payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to
the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a
loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by
either the present value of the expected future cash flows
discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the
loans obtainable market price, or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
F-95
BOE

Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are
collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank
does not separately identify individual consumer and residential
loans for impairment disclosures.
Loans
Held for Sale
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary
market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market in
the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a
valuation allowance by charges to income. Mortgage loans held
for sale are generally sold with the mortgage servicing rights
released by the Corporation.
The Corporation enters into commitments to originate certain
mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loans is
determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments). Rate lock
commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are
considered to be derivatives. The period of time between
issuance of a loan commitment and closing and the sale of the
loan generally ranges from thirty to ninety days. The
Corporation protects itself from changes in interest rates
through the use of best efforts forward delivery commitments,
whereby the Corporation commits to sell a loan at the time the
borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the
buyer has assumed interest rate risk on the loan. As a result,
the Corporation is not exposed to losses nor will it realize
significant gains related to its rate lock commitments due to
changes in interest rates. The correlation between the rate lock
commitments and the best efforts contracts is very high due to
their similarity. Because of this high correlation, the gain or
loss that occurs on the rate lock commitments is immaterial.
Bank
Premises and Equipment
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Land is carried at cost. Depreciation of bank
premises and equipment is computed on the straight-line method
over estimated useful lives of 10 to 50 years for premises
and 5 to 20 years for equipment, furniture and fixtures.
Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred and major improvements are capitalized. Upon sale or
retirement of depreciable properties, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and
the resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of
income.
Intangibles
Intangible assets consist of core deposit premiums from a branch
acquisition. Intangible assets are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 15 years.
Other
Real Estate
Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure is
held for sale and is initially recorded at the lower of the loan
balance or the fair value at the date of foreclosure net of
estimated disposal costs, establishing a new cost basis.
Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed
by management and the assets are carried at the lower of the
carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. Revenues
and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation
allowance are included in other operating expenses. Costs to
bring a property to salable condition are capitalized up to the
fair value of the property while costs to maintain a property in
salable condition are expensed as incurred. The Corporation had
no other real estate at December 31, 2006 or 2005.
Income
Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using
the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the
net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the
tax effects of the temporary differences
F-96
BOE

Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet
assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes
in tax rates and laws.
Earnings
Per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding and excludes any dilutive
effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted
earnings per share is computed in a manner similar to basic EPS,
except for certain adjustments to the numerator and the
denominator. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential
common shares that were outstanding during the period. Potential
common shares that may be issued by the Corporation relate
solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the
treasury stock method.
Stock-Based
Compensation
At December 31, 2006, the Corporation had two stock-based
compensation plans, which are described more fully in
Note 9. Effective January 1, 2006, the Corporation
adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment. SFAS No. 123R requires the costs
resulting from all share-based payments to employees be
recognized in the financial statements. Stock-based compensation
is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
valuation model for determining fair value. Prior to adopting
SFAS No. 123R, the Corporation accounted for the plans
under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee
compensation cost was reflected in net income, as all options
granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the
market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and
earnings per share as if the Corporation had applied the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based
compensation for the years ended December 31, 2005 and
2004. No stock-based compensation expense was recognized for the
year ended December 31, 2006 as no stock options were
granted or vested. Effective December 22, 2005, the
Corporation accelerated the vesting of all novested stock
options under the stock-based compensation plans.

Advertising
Costs
The Corporation follows the policy of charging the costs of
production of advertising to expense as incurred. Total
advertising expense incurred for 2006, 2005 and 2004 was
$112,945, $78,330 and $93,578, respectively.
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of 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 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. Management estimates
that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the
near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan
losses.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period
balances to conform to the current year provisions.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Corporation owned one
U.S. Government Agency bond in the held to maturity
classification with a book value of $3,000,000. The market value
of the bond was $2,949,000 and $2,932,500 at December 31,
2006 and 2005, respectively. The bond matures in 2024.
Proceeds from sales, principal repayments, calls and maturities
of securities available for sale during 2006, 2005 and 2004 were
$10,009,939, $9,566,053 and $11,658,025, respectively. Gross
realized gains of $18,804, $11,960 and $101,138 and gross

The unrealized losses in the investment portfolio as of
December 31, 2006, are generally a result of market
fluctuations that occur daily. The unrealized losses are from
120 securities that are all of investment grade, backed by
insurance, U.S. government agency guarantees, or the full
faith and credit of local municipalities throughout the United
States. The Corporation has the ability and intent to hold these
securities to maturity. Market prices are affected by conditions
beyond the control of the Corporation. Investment decisions are
made by the management group of the Corporation and reflect the
overall liquidity and strategic asset/liability objectives of

Long-Term
Rate of Return
The plan sponsor selects the expected long-term rate of return
on assets assumption in consultation with their investment
advisors and actuary. This rate is intended to reflect the
average rate of earnings expected to be earned on the funds
invested or to be invested to provide plan benefits. Historical
performance is reviewed, especially with respect to real rates
of return (net of inflation), for the major asset classes held
or anticipated to be held by the trust, and for the trust
itself. Undue weight is not given to recent experience that may
not continue over the measurement period, with higher
significance placed on current forecasts of future long-term
economic conditions.
Because assets are held in a qualified trust, anticipated
returns are not reduced for taxes. Further, solely for this
purpose, the plan is assumed to continue in force and not
terminate during the period during which assets are invested.
However, consideration is given to the potential impact of
current and future investment policy, cash flow into and out of
the trust, and expenses (both investment and non-investment)
typically paid from plan assets (to the extent such expenses are
not explicitly estimated within periodic cost).
Asset
Allocation
The pension plans weighted-average asset allocations at
September 30, 2006 and 2005, by asset category are as

The trust fund is sufficiently diversified to maintain a
reasonable level of risk without imprudently sacrificing return,
with a targeted asset allocation of 40% fixed income and 60%
equities. The investment manager selects investment fund
managers with demonstrated experience and expertise, and funds
with demonstrated historical performance, for the implementation
of the plans investment strategy. The investment manager
will consider both actively and passively managed investment
strategies and will allocate funds across the asset classes to
develop an efficient investment structure.
It is the responsibility of the trustee to administer the
investments of the trust within reasonable costs, being careful
to avoid sacrificing quality. These costs include, but are not
limited to, management and custodial fees, consulting fees,
transaction costs and other administrative costs chargeable to
the trust.
The Corporation does not expect to contribute to its pension
plan in 2007.

401(k)
Plan
The Corporation has also adopted a contributory 401(k) profit
sharing plan which covers substantially all employees. The
employee may contribute up to 15% of compensation, subject to
statutory limitations. The Corporation matches 50% of employee
contributions up to 4% of compensation. The plan also provides
for an additional discretionary contribution to be made by the
Corporation as determined each year. The amounts charged to
expense under this plan for the years ended December 31,
2006, 2005 and 2004 were $53,642, $47,963 and $44,085,
respectively.
Deferred
Compensation Agreements
The Corporation has deferred compensation agreements with
certain key employees and the Board of Directors. The retirement
benefits to be provided are fixed based upon the amount of
compensation earned and deferred. Deferred compensation expense
amounted to $268,011, $56,593 and $3,612 for the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These
contracts are funded by life insurance policies.

Note 9.
|
Stock
Option Plans
|
During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Corporation
adopted stock option plans for all employees and outside
directors. The plans provide that 110,000 shares of the
Corporations common stock will be reserved for both
incentive and non-statutory stock options to purchase common
stock of the Corporation. The exercise price per share for
incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options shall
not be less than the fair market value of a share of common
stock on the date of grant, and may be exercised at such times
as may be specified by the Board of Directors in the
participants stock option agreement. Each incentive and
non-statutory stock option shall expire not more than ten years
from the date the option is granted. The options vest at the
rate of one quarter per year from the grant date. Effective
December 22, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting of all
unvested stock options under the plans.

The aggregate intrinsic value of a stock option in the table
above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount
by which the current market value of the underlying stock
exceeds the exercise price of the option) that would have been
received by option holders had all option holders exercised
their options on December 31, 2006. This amount changes
based on changes in the market value of the Corporations
stock.
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year
ended December 31, 2006 was $61,250.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the
year ended December 31, 2004 was $8.22 and was estimated on
the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
with the following weighted-average assumptions. There were no
option grants during the years ended December 31, 2006 and
2005.

The Corporation granted options to employees and directors to
purchase 3,797 shares on average during the year ended
December 31, 2004 that were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of
those options exceeded the average market price of the common
shares during the year. No options were excluded from the
computation for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

The Bank has a diversified loan portfolio consisting of
commercial, real estate and consumer (installment) loans.
Substantially all of the Banks customers are residents or
operate business ventures in its market area consisting of
Essex, King William, Hanover, Henrico and adjacent counties.
Therefore, a substantial portion of its debtors ability to
honor their contracts and the Banks ability to realize the
value of any underlying collateral, if needed, is influenced by
the economic conditions in this market area.
The Bank maintains a portion of its cash balances with several
financial institutions located in its market area. Accounts at
each institution are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation up to $100,000. Uninsured balances were
approximately $996,000 and $1,978,000 at December 31, 2006
and 2005, respectively.

Financial
Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
|
The Bank is party to financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet
the financing needs of its customers. These financial
instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of
the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts
of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank
has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Banks exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument
for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit
is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.
The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments.
A summary of the contract amounts of the Banks exposure to
off-balance-sheet risk as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, is
as follows:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a
customer as long as there is no violation of any condition
established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require
payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do
not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank

evaluates each customers credit worthiness on a
case-by-case
basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by
the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on managements
credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies
but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and
equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Unfunded commitments under commercial lines-of credit, revolving
credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments
for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers.
These lines-of-credit are generally uncollateralized and usually
do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn
upon to the total extent to which the Bank is committed.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by
the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third
party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public
and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper,
bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The
amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank
upon extension of credit, is based on managements
evaluation of the counterparty. Since most of the letters of
credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon, they do
not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Note 16.

Minimum
Regulatory Capital Requirements
|
The Corporation (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are
subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly
additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
Corporations and Banks financial statements. Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures
of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items
as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital
amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings,
and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not
applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure
capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to
maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk weighted assets (as defined), and of
Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).
Management believes, as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, that
the Corporation and Bank met all capital adequacy requirements
to which they are subject.
As of December 31, 2006, the most recent notification from
the Federal Reserve Bank categorized the Bank as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution
must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based,
and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There
are no conditions or events since that notification that
management believes have changed the Banks category.
The Corporations and the Banks actual capital
amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, are
also presented in the table.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments and Interest Rate Risk
|
The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount
that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a
forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon
quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no
quoted market prices for the Corporations various
financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are
not available, fair values are based on estimates using present
value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are
significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the
discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly,
the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate
settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107 excludes
certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments
from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate
fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the
underlying fair value of the Corporation.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the
fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it
is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash
and Short-Term Investments
For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.
Securities
For securities held for investment purposes, fair values are
based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.
Restricted
Securities
The carrying value of restricted securities approximates their
fair value based on the redemption provisions of the respective
entity.

BOE
FINANCIAL SERVICES OF VIRGINIA, INC.
Notes to
Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
Loans
Receivable
For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some
residential mortgages, and other consumer loans, fair value is
estimated using the quoted market prices for securities backed
by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan
characteristics. The fair value of other types of loans is
estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current
rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with
similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
Deposit
Liabilities
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain
money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the
reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of
deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for
deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Long-Term
Borrowings
The fair values of the Corporations long-term borrowings
are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the
Corporations current incremental borrowing rates for
similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Accrued
Interest
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
Off-Balance-Sheet
Financial Instruments
The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated
using the fees currently charged to enter into similar
agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
agreements and the present creditworthiness of the
counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also
considers the difference between current levels of interest
rates and the committed rates.
The fair value of stand-by letters of credit is based on fees
currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated
cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with
the counterparties at the reporting date.
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the fair values of loan
commitments and stand-by letters of credit were deemed to be
immaterial.

The Corporation assumes interest rate risk (the risk that
general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its
normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the
Corporations financial instruments will change when
interest rate levels change and that change may be either
favorable or unfavorable to the Corporation. Management attempts
to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent
believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However,
borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay
in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a
falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are
receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before
maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so
in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and
maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize
interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits
and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the
Corporations overall interest rate risk.

Trust Preferred
Capital Notes
|
On December 12, 2003, BOE Statutory Trust I, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, was formed for the
purpose of issuing redeemable capital securities. On
December 12, 2003, $4.1 million of trust preferred
securities were issued through a direct placement. The
securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of interest.
During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the
weighted-average interest rate was 8.47% and 6.29%. The
securities have a mandatory redemption date of December 12,
2033 and are subject to varying call provisions beginning
December 12, 2008. The principal asset of the Trust is
$4.1 million of the Corporations junior subordinated
debt securities with the like maturities and like interest rates
to the capital securities.
The trust preferred notes may be included in Tier 1 capital
for regulatory capital adequacy determination purposes up to 25%
of Tier 1 capital after its inclusion. The portion of the
trust preferred not considered as Tier 1 capital may be
included in Tier 2 capital. At December 31, 2006 and
2005, all trust preferred notes were included in Tier 1
capital.
The obligations of the Corporation with respect to the issuance
of the Capital Securities constitute a full and unconditional
guarantee by the Corporation of the Trusts obligations
with respect to the Capital Securities.

Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Corporation
may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the

will remain as the headquarters of the Bank following the Merger
from and after the Effective Time in accordance with the
Banks bylaws. The headquarters of the Surviving
Corporation will be located in Glen Allen, Virginia.
Prior to the effectiveness and delivery of this Agreement, CBAC
has received the written consent of TransCommunity Financial
Corporation (TFC) to enter into this
Agreement as required pursuant to Section 7.3 of the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 5, 2007
(the TFC Agreement), by and between CBAC and
TCF, and there have been no changes, modifications or amendments
to the TFC Merger Agreement except as previously disclosed to
BOE since the execution of the TFC Merger Agreement.
Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in

Time.
The Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement
shall become effective on the date and time the Certificate of
Merger reflecting the Merger shall be filed and become effective
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the
Articles of Merger reflecting the Merger become effective with
the Virginia State Corporation Commission (the
Effective Time). Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in

1.4 Restructure
of Transaction.
CBAC shall have the right to revise the structure of the Merger
contemplated by this Agreement by merging BOE with a

revision to the structure of the Merger (i) shall result in
any changes in the amount or type of the consideration which the
holders of shares of BOE Common Stock or BOE Rights are entitled
to receive under this Agreement, (ii) would unreasonably
impede or delay consummation of the Merger, or (iii) shall
impose any less favorable terms or conditions on the Bank or
BOE; further provided, however, no such revision shall be
effective without the prior written consent of BOE. CBAC may
request such consent by giving written notice to BOE in the
manner provided in Section 11.8, which notice shall be in
the form of an amendment to this Agreement or in the form of a
proposed amendment to this Agreement or in the form of an
Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, and the

MANNER OF
CONVERTING SHARES
3.1 Conversion
of Shares.
Subject to the provisions of this Article 3, at the
Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action
on the part of CBAC, BOE or the stockholders of either of the
foregoing, the shares of the constituent corporations shall be
converted as follows:
(a) Each share of CBAC Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than those shares
as to which conversion rights provided for in Section C of
Article Sixth of the CBAC Certificate of Incorporation
(Conversion Rights) have been exercised, if
applicable, shall remain issued and outstanding from and after
the Effective Time and be unaffected solely as a result of the
Merger.
(b) Each share of BOE Common Stock (excluding shares held
by CBAC or any BOE Entity (Excluded Shares),
in each case other than in a fiduciary capacity or as a result
of debt previously contracted) issued and outstanding at the
Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive
5.7278 shares (the Exchange Ratio) of
CBAC Common Stock (the Merger Consideration).
(c) If, after the Determination Date, the Average Closing
Price is less than $7.42, CBAC shall increase the Exchange Ratio
to equal the quotient (rounded to the nearest one ten
thousandth) obtained by dividing (i) $42.50 by
(ii) the Average Closing Price.
A-3
3.2 Anti-Dilution
Provisions.
In the event CBAC changes the number of shares of CBAC Common
Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a
result of a stock split, stock dividend, or similar
recapitalization with respect to such stock (specifically
excluding the effect of the exercise of the Conversion Rights,
if applicable) and the record date therefore (in the case of a
stock dividend) or the effective date thereof (in the case of a
stock split or similar recapitalization for which a record date
is not established) shall be prior to the Effective Time, the
Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately adjusted.
3.3 Fractional
Shares.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each
holder of shares of BOE Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the
Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a
fraction of a share of CBAC Common Stock (after taking into
account all certificates delivered by such holder) shall
receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount
equal to such fractional part of a share of CBAC Common Stock
multiplied by the market value of one share of CBAC Common Stock
at the Effective Time. The market value of one share of CBAC
Common Stock at the Effective Time shall be the closing price on
the AMEX (as reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if
not reported thereby, any other authoritative source selected by
CBAC) on the last trading day preceding the Effective Time.
3.4 Conversion
of Stock Rights.
(a) At the Effective Time, each award, option, or other
right to purchase or acquire shares of BOE Common Stock pursuant
to stock options, stock appreciation rights, or stock awards
(BOE Rights) granted by BOE under the BOE
Stock Plans, which are outstanding at the Effective Time,
whether or not exercisable, shall be converted into and become
rights with respect to CBAC Common Stock, and CBAC shall assume
each BOE Right, in accordance with the terms of the BOE Stock
Plans and stock option agreement by which it is evidenced,
except that from and after the Effective Time, (i) CBAC and
its Compensation Committee, as established at the Effective Time
of the Merger, shall be substituted for BOE and the committee of
BOEs Board of Directors (including, if applicable, the
entire Board of Directors of BOE) administering such BOE Stock
Plan, (ii) each BOE Right assumed by CBAC may be exercised
solely for shares of CBAC Common Stock (or cash in the case of
stock appreciation rights), (iii) the number of shares of
CBAC Common Stock subject to such BOE Right shall be equal to
the number of shares of BOE Common Stock subject to such BOE
Right immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the
Exchange Ratio, and (iv) the per share exercise price (or
similar threshold price, in the case of stock awards) under each
such BOE Right shall be adjusted by dividing the per share
exercise (or threshold) price under each such BOE Right by the
Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the nearest cent.
Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (iii) of the
preceding sentence, CBAC shall not be obligated to issue any
fraction of a share of CBAC Common Stock upon exercise of BOE
Rights and any fraction of a share of CBAC Common Stock that
otherwise would be subject to a converted BOE Right shall
represent the right to receive a cash payment equal to the
product of such fraction and the difference between the market
value of one share of CBAC Common Stock and the per share
exercise price of such Right. The market value of one share of
CBAC Common Stock shall be the closing price on the AMEX (as
reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported
thereby, any other authoritative source selected by CBAC) on the
last trading day preceding the Effective Time. In addition,
notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (iii) and
(iv) of the first sentence of this Section 3.4, each
BOE Right which is an incentive stock option shall
be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Internal
Revenue Code, so as not to constitute a modification, extension,
or renewal of the option, within the meaning of
Section 424(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. CBAC agrees to
take all necessary steps to effectuate the foregoing provisions
of this Section 3.4.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective
Time, CBAC shall deliver to the participants in each BOE Stock
Plan an appropriate notice setting forth such participants
rights pursuant thereto and the grants pursuant to such BOE
Stock Plan shall continue in effect on the same terms and
conditions (subject to the adjustments required by Section
3.4(a) after giving effect to the Merger), and CBAC shall comply
with the terms of each BOE Stock Plan to ensure, to the extent
required by, and subject to the provisions of, such BOE Stock
Plan, that BOE Rights which qualified as incentive stock
options prior to the Effective Time continue to qualify as
incentive stock options after the Effective Time. At
or prior to the Effective Time, CBAC shall take all corporate
action
A-4
necessary to reserve for issuance sufficient shares of CBAC
Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of BOE Rights assumed by
it in accordance with this Section 3.4. As soon as
reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, CBAC shall file
a registration statement on
Form S-1
or
Form S-8,
as the case may be (or any successor or other appropriate
forms), with respect to the shares of CBAC Common Stock subject
to such options and shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain
the effectiveness of such registration statements (and maintain
the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained
therein) for so long as such options remain outstanding. With
respect to those individuals who subsequent to the Merger will
be subject to the reporting requirements under
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, where applicable, CBAC
shall administer the BOE Stock Plan assumed pursuant to this
Section 3.4 in a manner that complies with
Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act.
(c) All restrictions or limitations on transfer with
respect to BOE Common Stock awarded under the BOE Stock Plans or
any other plan, program, or arrangement of any BOE Entity, to
the extent that such restrictions or limitations shall not have
already lapsed, and except as otherwise expressly provided in
such plan, program, or arrangement, shall remain in full force
and effect with respect to shares of CBAC Common Stock into
which such restricted stock is converted pursuant to this
Agreement.
ARTICLE 4
EXCHANGE
OF SHARES
4.1 Exchange
Procedures.
(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective
Time, CBAC shall cause the exchange agent selected by CBAC (the
Exchange Agent) to mail to the former
stockholders of BOE appropriate transmittal materials (which
shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss
and title to the certificates or other instruments theretofore
representing shares of BOE Common Stock shall pass, only upon
proper delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent). The
certificate or certificates of BOE Common Stock so surrendered
shall be duly endorsed as the Exchange Agent may reasonably
require. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of
BOE Common Stock represented by certificates that are not
registered in the transfer records of BOE, the Merger
Consideration payable for such shares as provided in
Section 3.1 may be issued to a transferee if the
certificates representing such shares are delivered to the
Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to
evidence such transfer and by evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Exchange Agent that such transfer is proper and that any
applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. In the event any
certificate representing BOE Common Stock certificate shall have
been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit
of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost,
stolen or destroyed and the posting by such person of a bond in
such amount as CBAC may reasonably direct as indemnity against
any claim that may be made against it with respect to such
certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such
lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the Merger Consideration
as provided for in Section 3.1. The Exchange Agent may
establish such other reasonable and customary rules and
procedures in connection with its duties as it may deem
appropriate. CBAC shall pay all charges and expenses, including
those of the Exchange Agent in connection with the distribution
of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.1.
(b) After the Effective Time, each holder of shares of BOE
Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding
at the Effective Time shall surrender the certificate or
certificates representing such shares to the Exchange Agent and
shall promptly upon surrender thereof receive in exchange
therefore the consideration provided in Section 3.1,
without interest, pursuant to this Section 4.1. CBAC shall
not be obligated to deliver the consideration to which any
former holder of BOE Common Stock is entitled as a result of the
Merger until such holder surrenders such holders
certificate or certificates for exchange as provided in this
Section 4.1. Any other provision of this Agreement
notwithstanding, neither CBAC, nor any BOE Entity, nor the
Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of BOE Common Stock
or to any holder of BOE Rights for any amounts paid or properly
delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to any
applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
(c) Each of CBAC and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled
to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable
pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of BOE Common
Stock such amounts, if any, as it is required to deduct and
withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the
Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law or by
any Taxing Authority or Governmental Authority. To the extent
that any
A-5
amounts are so withheld by CBAC, the Surviving Corporation or
the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts
shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having
been paid to the holder of the shares of BOE Common Stock or BOE
Rights, as applicable in respect of which such deduction and
withholding was made by CBAC, the Surviving Corporation or the
Exchange Agent, as the case may be.
(d) Adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of BOE
shall constitute ratification of the appointment of the Exchange
Agent.
4.2 Rights
of Former BOE Stockholders.
At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of BOE shall be
closed as to holders of BOE Common Stock and no transfer of BOE
Common Stock by any holder of such shares shall thereafter be
made or recognized. Until surrendered for exchange in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4.1, each certificate
theretofore representing shares of BOE Common Stock (other than
certificates representing Excluded Shares), shall from and after
the Effective Time represent for all purposes only the right to
receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, as provided
in Article 3.
ARTICLE 5

The minute book and other organizational documents for each of
BOE and the Bank have been made available to CBAC for its review
and, except as disclosed in Section 5.1 of the BOE
Disclosure Memorandum, are true and complete in all material

States and foreign jurisdictions where the character of its

reasonably likely to have individually or in the aggregate, a
BOE Material Adverse Effect. The Bank is an insured
institution as defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act and applicable regulations thereunder, and the deposits held
by the Bank are insured by the FDICs Deposit Insurance
Fund. The minute book and other organizational documents for

Tax matters of any BOE Entity expects any Taxing Authority is
reasonably likely to assess any additional Taxes for any period
for which Tax Returns have been filed. No issue has been raised
by a Taxing Authority in any prior examination of any BOE Entity

of each Employee Benefit Plan that is not identified in

the applicable requirements of the Code, in material compliance
with the applicable requirements of ERISA, and in material
compliance with any other applicable Laws. Each CBAC ERISA Plan
which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Code has received a favorable determination letter or
opinion from the IRS that is as current as possible under
applicable IRS procedures and that is still in effect and
applies to the applicable CBAC ERISA Plan as amended and as
administered or, within the time permitted under Code
Section 401(b), has timely applied for a favorable
determination letter, which when issued, will be as current as
possible under applicable IRS procedures and which, when issued,
will apply retroactively to the CBAC ERISA Plan as amended and
as administered. CBAC is not aware of any circumstances likely
to result in revocation of any such favorable determination
letter which has been issued by the IRS, and CBAC is not aware
of any circumstances likely to result in a failure to issue any
such favorable determination letter for which it has applied.
CBAC has not received any communication (written or unwritten)
from any Governmental Authority questioning or challenging the
compliance of any CBAC Benefit Plan with applicable Laws. No
CBAC Benefit Plan is currently being audited by any Governmental
Authority for compliance with applicable Laws or has been
audited with a determination by any Governmental Authority that
the Employee Benefit Plan failed to comply with applicable Laws.
(d) There has been no oral or written representation or
communication with respect to any aspect of the Employee Benefit
Plans made to employees of the CBAC which is not in accordance
with the written or otherwise preexisting terms and provisions
of such plans. Neither CBAC nor any administrator or fiduciary
of any CBAC Benefit Plan (or any agent of any of the foregoing)
has engaged in any transaction, or acted or failed to act in any
manner, which could subject CBAC or CBAC to any direct or
indirect Liability (by indemnity or otherwise) for breach of any
fiduciary, co-fiduciary or other duty under ERISA. There are no
unresolved claims or disputes under the terms of, or in
connection with, the CBAC Benefit Plans other than claims for
benefits which are payable in the ordinary course of business
and no action, proceeding, prosecution, inquiry, hearing or
investigation has been commenced with respect to any CBAC
Benefit Plan.
(e) All CBAC Benefit Plan documents and annual reports or
returns, audited or unaudited financial statements, actuarial
valuations, summary annual reports, and summary plan
descriptions issued with respect to the CBAC Benefit Plans are
correct and complete in all material respects, have been timely
filed with the IRS or the DOL, and distributed to participants
of the CBAC Benefit Plans (as required by Law), and there have
been no changes in the information set forth therein.
(f) To the CBACs Knowledge, no party in
interest (as defined in ERISA Section 3(14)) or

nonexempt prohibited transaction (described in Code
Section 4975(c) or ERISA Section 406).

any plan that is or was subject to Code Section 412 or
ERISA Section 302 or Title IV of ERISA. There is no
Lien nor is there expected to be a Lien under Code
Section 412(n) or ERISA Section 302(f) or Tax under
Code Section 4971 applicable to CBAC or its Assets. Neither CBAC
nor any of its ERISA Affiliates is subject to or can reasonably
be expected to become subject to a Lien under Code
Section 401(a)(29). All premiums required to be paid under
ERISA Section 4006, if any, have been timely paid by CBAC
and by each of its ERISA Affiliates.
(h) No Liability under Title IV of ERISA has been or
is expected to be incurred by CBAC or its ERISA Affiliates and
no event has occurred that could reasonably result in Liability
under Title IV of ERISA being incurred by CBAC or its ERISA
Affiliates with respect to any ongoing, frozen, terminated or
other single-employer plan of CBAC or the single-employer plan
of any ERISA Affiliate. There has been no reportable
event, within the meaning of ERISA Section 4043, for
which the
30-day
reporting requirement has not been waived by any ongoing,
frozen, terminated or other single employer plan of CBAC or of
an ERISA Affiliate.

life or death benefits under any of the CBAC Benefit Plans, or
other plan or arrangement, except to the extent required under
Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or Code Section 4980B
and there are no restrictions on the rights of CBAC to amend or
terminate any such retiree health or benefit plan without
incurring any Liability thereunder. No Tax under Code Sections
4980B or 5000 has been incurred with respect to any CBAC Benefit
Plan, or other plan or arrangement, and no circumstance exists
which could give rise to such Taxes.
A-26
(j) Except as disclosed in Section 6.10 of the CBAC

otherwise, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable
under any CBAC Benefit Plan, or (iii) result in any
acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such

or the rights of CBAC in, to or under any insurance on the life
of any current or former officer, director or employee of CBAC,
or change any rights or obligations of CBAC with respect to such
insurance.

have been fully reflected on the CBAC Financial Statements to
the extent required by and in accordance with GAAP.

ERISA and other applicable Laws.

connection with, a multiemployer plan (as defined in
ERISA Sections 4001(a)(3) or 3(37)(A)).
(n) Except as disclosed in Section 6.10 of the CBAC
Disclosure Memorandum, there are no payments or changes in terms
due to any insured person as a result of this Agreement, the

life insurance, or similar arrangement or Contract, and the
Successor Corporation shall, upon and after the Effective Time,
succeed to and have all the rights in, to and under such life

execution and delivery of this Agreement, and will continue to
have, notwithstanding this Agreement or the consummation of the
transaction contemplated hereby, all ownership rights and
interest in all corporate or bank-owned life insurance.
(o) No CBAC Benefit Plan holds any employer security
(within the meaning of ERISA Section 407(d)(1)) or employer
real property (within the meaning of ERISA
Section 407(d)(2)); and no commitment has been made that

correct any defects with respect to any CBAC Benefit Plan under

7.3 Affirmative
Covenants of CBAC.
From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the
Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, unless the
prior written consent of BOE shall have been obtained, and
except as otherwise expressly contemplated herein, CBAC shall,
and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to; (i) operate
its business only in the usual, regular and ordinary course;
(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve intact
its business organization and Assets and maintain its rights and
franchises; (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause its representations and warranties to be correct at all
times; and (iv) take no action which would
(A) adversely affect the ability of any Party to obtain any
Consents required for the transactions contemplated hereby
without imposition of a condition or restriction of the type
referred to in the last sentences of Sections 9.1(b) and
9.1(c) or, or (B) materially adversely affect the ability
of any Party to perform its covenants and agreements under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing and Section 8.3
hereof, provided CBAC consults and apprises a special committee
of the Board of Directors of BOE (the membership of such
committee to be determined by the Board of Directors of BOE),
nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to prohibit CBAC
from negotiating or, with the consent of BOE, which consent may
not be unreasonably withheld, entering into a binding letter of
intent or definitive agreement to acquire control of a financial
institution, whether by merger or otherwise, or from taking
action to list its shares on the Nasdaq Global Market and delist
its shares from AMEX so long as CBAC does not terminate this
Agreement.
7.4 Adverse
Changes in Condition.
Each Party agrees to give written notice promptly to the other
Party upon becoming aware of the occurrence or impending
occurrence of any event or circumstance relating to it or any of
its Subsidiaries which (i) has had or is reasonably likely
to have, individually or in the aggregate, a BOE Material
Adverse Effect or a CBAC Material Adverse Effect, as applicable,
(ii) would cause or constitute a material breach of any of
its representations, warranties, or covenants contained herein,
or (iii) would be reasonably likely to prevent or
materially interfere with the consummation of the Merger, and to
use its reasonable efforts to prevent or promptly to remedy the
same.
7.5 Reports.
Each of CBAC and its Subsidiaries and BOE and its Subsidiaries
shall file all reports required to be filed by it with
Regulatory Authorities between the date of this Agreement and
the Effective Time and shall deliver to the other Party copies
of all such reports promptly after the same are filed. Each
Partys financial statements between the date of this
Agreement and the Effective Time, whether or not contained in
any such reports filed under the Exchange Act or with any other
Regulatory Authority, will fairly present the consolidated
financial position of the entity filing such statements as of
the dates indicated and the consolidated results of operations,
changes in stockholders equity, and cash flows for the
periods then ended in accordance with GAAP (subject in the case
of interim financial statements to normal recurring year-end
adjustments that are not material). As of their respective
dates, such reports filed under the Exchange Act or with any
other Regulatory Authority will comply in all material respects
with the Securities Laws and will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading. Any financial statements
contained in any other reports to another Regulatory Authority
shall be prepared in accordance with the Laws applicable to such
reports.
A-32
7.6 Claims
Against Trust Account.
BOE understands that, except for a portion of the interest
earned on the amounts held in the Trust Fund, CBAC may
disburse monies from the Trust Fund only: (a) to its
public stockholders in the event of the redemption of their
shares or the dissolution and liquidation of CBAC, (b) to
CBAC (less CBACs deferred underwriting compensation only)
after CBAC consummates a business combination (as described in
the Prospectus) or (c) as consideration to the sellers of a
target business with which CBAC completes a business combination.
BOE agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision contained
in this Agreement, BOE does not now have, and shall not at any
time prior to the Effective Time have, any claim to, or make any
claim against, the Trust Fund, regardless of whether such
claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in
any way to, the business relationship between BOE on the one
hand, and CBAC on the other hand, this Agreement, or any other
agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such
claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory
of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively
referred to in this Section 7.6 as the
Claims). Notwithstanding any other provision
contained in this Agreement, BOE hereby irrevocably waives any
Claim it may have, now or in the future (in each case, however,
prior to the consummation of a business combination), and will
not seek recourse against the Trust Fund for any reason
whatsoever in respect thereof. In the event that BOE commences
any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with,
relating to or arising out of any matter relating to CBAC, which
proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the
Trust Fund or the public stockholders of CBAC, whether in
the form of money damages or injunctive relief, CBAC shall be
entitled to recover from BOE the associated legal fees and costs
in connection with any such action, in the event CBAC prevails
in such action or proceeding.

Statement; Joint Proxy Statement.
(a) Each of CBAC and BOE agrees to cooperate in the
preparation of a Registration Statement on
Form S-4
to be filed by CBAC with the SEC and any other filings to be
made by either Party, including but not limited to the
Form S-4
to be filed by CBAC with the SEC in connection with CBACs
acquisition of TFC and filings of Current Reports on
Form 8-K,
with the SEC or any other Regulatory Authority, in connection
with the issuance of CBAC Common Stock in the Merger and the

furnish CBAC all information concerning BOE, the Bank, and their
respective officers, directors, and stockholders as may be
reasonably requested in connection with the foregoing. As a
result of the registration of the CBAC Common Stock pursuant to
the Registration Statement, such stock shall be freely tradable
by the stockholders of BOE except to the extent that the
transfer of any shares of CBAC Common Stock received by
stockholders of BOE is subject to the provisions of
Rule 145 under the Securities Act or restricted under Tax
rules. BOE and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity
to review and comment on the Registration Statement being filed
with the SEC and any responses filed with the SEC regarding the
Registration Statement.
(c) Each of BOE and CBAC agrees, as to itself and its
Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be
supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in
(i) the Registration Statement will, at the time the
Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto,
if any, becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading and (ii) none of the
information supplied by it or any of its respective Subsidiaries
for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Joint Proxy
Statement will at the date of the mailing to its stockholders or
at the time of the meeting of its stockholders held for the
purpose of obtaining the
A-33
BOE Stockholder Approval or the CBAC Stockholder Approval, as
applicable, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein not
misleading. Each of BOE and CBAC further agrees that if it shall
become aware prior to the Effective Date of any information that
would cause any of the statements in the Registration Statement
or Joint Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect
to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein not false or
misleading, to promptly inform the other Party thereof and to
take the necessary steps to correct the Joint Proxy Statement.
(d) In the case of CBAC, CBAC will advise BOE, promptly
after CBAC receives notice thereof, of the time when the
Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or
amendment has been filed, or of the issuance of any stop order
or the suspension of the qualification of the CBAC Common Stock
for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or
threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request
by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Registration
Statement or for additional information.
8.2 Stockholder
Approvals.

soon as reasonably practicable after the Joint Proxy Statement
is cleared by the SEC, for the purpose of voting upon adoption
of this Agreement, the amendments to CBACs Certificate of
Incorporation set forth in Exhibit A hereto and such
other related matters as it deems appropriate. BOE shall call a
stockholders meeting, to be held as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Joint Proxy Statement is cleared by the
SEC, for the purpose of voting upon the adoption of this
Agreement and such other related matters as it deems
appropriate. The Parties shall coordinate and cooperate with
respect to the timing of such meetings and shall use their
reasonable efforts to hold such meetings on the same day.
(b) In connection with the Stockholders Meetings,
(i) CBAC and BOE shall mail the Joint Proxy Statement to
their respective stockholders, (ii) the Boards of Directors
of CBAC and BOE shall recommend to their respective stockholders
the approval of the matters submitted for approval and
(iii) the Board of Directors and officers of CBAC and BOE
shall use their reasonable efforts to obtain such
stockholders approval; provided that each of CBAC and BOE
may withdraw, modify, or change in an adverse manner to the
other Party its recommendations of the Board of Directors of
such Party if, after having consulted with and based upon the
advice of counsel, such Party determines in good faith that the
failure to so withdraw, modify or change its recommendation
could constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of such
Partys Board of Directors under applicable Law.
8.3 Other
Offers.
(a) Neither any CBAC Entity nor any BOE Entity shall, nor
shall either Party authorize or permit any of their respective
Affiliates or Representatives to, directly or indirectly,
(i) solicit, initiate, encourage or induce the making,
submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal,
(ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations
regarding, or furnish to any Person or Group (as
such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange
Act) any nonpublic information with respect to, or take any
other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any
proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead
to, any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) subject to
Section 8.3(c), approve, endorse or recommend any
Acquisition Proposal, or (iv) enter into any definitive
agreement contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition
Transaction; provided, however, that this
Section 8.3 shall not prohibit either Party from furnishing
nonpublic information regarding itself and its Subsidiaries to
or entering into a confidentiality agreement or discussions or
negotiations with, any Person or Group in response to a bona
fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal submitted by
such Person or Group (and not withdrawn) if (A) neither any
CBAC Entity nor any BOE Entity or their respective
Representatives or Affiliates, as applicable, shall have
violated any of the restrictions set forth in this
Section 8.3, (B) the Board of Directors of CBAC or
BOE, as the case may be, in its good faith judgment (based on,
among other things, the advice of CBAC Financial Advisor or BOE
Financial Advisor, as applicable, that such Acquisition Proposal
constitutes a Superior Proposal, (C) the Board of Directors
of CBAC or BOE, as the case may be, concludes in good faith,
after consultation with and receipt of a written opinion from
its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action
would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties, as such duties
would exist in the absence of this Section 8.3, to the
stockholders of CBAC or BOE, as the case may be, under
applicable Law, (D) (1) at least five business days prior
to furnishing any such nonpublic information to, or entering
into discussions or negotiations with, such Person or
A-34
group, the Party gives the other Party written notice of the
identity of such Person or Group and of such Partys
intention to furnish nonpublic information to, or enter into
discussions or negotiations with, such Person or Group, and
(2) such Party receives from such Person or Group an
executed confidentiality agreement containing terms no less
favorable to the disclosing Party than the confidentiality terms
of this Agreement, and (E) contemporaneously with
furnishing any such nonpublic information to such Person or
group, such Party furnishes such nonpublic information to the
other Party (to the extent such nonpublic information has not
been previously furnished by such Party). In addition to the
foregoing, such Party shall provide the other Party with at
least five business days prior written notice of a meeting
of its Board of Directors at which meeting such Board of
Directors is reasonably expected to resolve to recommend a
Superior Proposal of CBAC or BOE, as the case may be, to its
stockholders and together with such notice a copy of the most
recently proposed documentation relating to such Superior
Proposal; provided, further, that such Party hereby agrees
promptly to provide to the other Party any revised documentation
and any definitive agreement relating to such Superior Proposal.
(b) In addition to the obligations set forth in this
Section 8.3, as promptly as practicable, after any of the
directors or executive officers of CBAC or BOE, as the case may
be, become aware thereof, the applicable Party shall advise the
other Party of (x) any request received by it for nonpublic
information which such Party reasonably believes could lead to
an Acquisition Proposal or (y) any Acquisition Proposal,
the material terms and conditions of such request or Acquisition
Proposal, and the identity of the Person or Group making any
such request or Acquisition Proposal. Each Party shall keep the
other Party informed promptly of material amendments or
modifications to any such request or Acquisition Proposal.
(c) CBAC and each BOE Entity shall, and shall cause their
respective directors, officers, employees and Representatives to
immediately cease any and all existing activities, discussions
or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with
respect to any Acquisition Proposal and will use and cause to be
used all reasonable efforts to enforce any confidentiality or
similar or related agreement relating to any Acquisition
Proposal.
(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent a
Party or its Board of Directors from complying with
Rule 14d-9
and
Rule 14e-2
under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal;
provided that, such Rules will in no way eliminate or modify the
effect that any action pursuant to such Rules would otherwise
have under this Agreement.
8.4 Consents
of Regulatory Authorities.
The Parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and use their
reasonable efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary
documentation and applications, to effect all applications,
notices, petitions and filings, and to obtain as promptly as

Persons which are necessary or advisable to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the
Merger). The Parties agree that they will consult with each
other with respect to the obtaining of all Consents of all
Regulatory Authorities and other Persons necessary or advisable
to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and each Party will keep the other apprised of the status of
matters relating to contemplation of the transactions
contemplated herein. Each Party also shall promptly advise the
other upon receiving any communication from any Regulatory
Authority or other Person whose Consent is required for
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
which causes such Party to believe that there is a reasonable
likelihood that any requisite Consent will not be obtained or
that the receipt of any such Consent will be materially delayed.
8.5 Agreement
as to Efforts to Consummate.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each
Party agrees to use, and to cause its Subsidiaries to use, its
reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions,
and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, or
advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make
effective, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including using its reasonable efforts to lift or rescind any
Order adversely affecting its ability to consummate the
transactions contemplated herein and to cause to be satisfied
the conditions referred to in Article 9; provided, that
nothing herein shall preclude either Party from exercising
its rights under this Agreement.

business and the consummation of the Merger and shall permit the
other Party to make or cause to be made such investigation of
its business and properties (including that of its Subsidiaries)
and of their respective financial and legal conditions as the
other Party reasonably requests; provided, that such
investigation shall be reasonably related to the transactions
contemplated hereby and shall not interfere unnecessarily with
normal operations. Without limiting the foregoing, CBAC may
attend any meeting of the loan committee of the Bank. With
respect to any such meeting, CBAC may attend as an observer only
and shall receive notice of such meeting as if CBAC were a
member of such committee. No investigation by a Party shall
affect the ability of such Party to rely on the representations
and warranties of the other Party. Between the date hereof and
the Effective Time, BOE shall permit CBACs senior officers
and independent auditors to meet with the senior officers of
BOE, including officers responsible for the BOE Financial
Statements, the internal controls of BOE and the disclosure
controls and procedures of BOE and BOEs independent public
accountants, to discuss such matters as CBAC may deem reasonably
necessary or appropriate for CBAC to satisfy its obligations
under Sections 302, 404 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
(b) In addition to each Partys obligations pursuant
to Section 8.6(a), each Party shall, and shall cause its
advisors and agents to, maintain the confidentiality of all
confidential information furnished to it by the other Party
concerning its and its Subsidiaries businesses,
operations, and financial positions and shall not use such
information for any purpose except in furtherance of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If this Agreement
is terminated prior to the Effective Time, each Party shall
promptly return or certify the destruction of all documents and
copies thereof, and all work papers containing confidential
information received from the other Party.
(c) Each Party agrees to give the other Party notice as
soon as practicable after any determination by it of any fact or
occurrence relating to the other Party which it has discovered
through the course of its investigation and which represents, or
is reasonably likely to represent, either a material breach of
any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the other
Party or which has had or is reasonably likely to have a BOE
Material Adverse Effect or a CBAC Material Adverse Effect, as
applicable.
8.7 Press
Releases.
Prior to the Effective Time, BOE and CBAC shall consult with
each other as to the form and substance of any press release,
communication with their respective stockholders, or other
public disclosure materially related to this Agreement or any
other transaction contemplated hereby; provided, that
nothing in this Section 8.7 shall be deemed to prohibit
any Party from making any disclosure which its counsel deems
necessary or advisable in order to satisfy such Partys
disclosure obligations imposed by Law.
8.8 Charter
Provisions.
Each BOE Entity shall take all necessary action to ensure that
the entering into of this Agreement and the consummation of the
Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby do not and
will not result in the grant of any rights to any Person under
the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other governing
instruments of any BOE Entity or restrict or impair the ability
of CBAC or any of its Subsidiaries to vote, or otherwise to
exercise the rights of a stockholder with respect to, shares of
any BOE Entity that may be directly or indirectly acquired or
controlled by them.
8.9 Employee
Benefits and Contracts.
(a) Following the Effective Time, CBAC shall provide
generally to officers and employees of the BOE Entities employee
benefits under employee benefit and welfare plans (other than
stock option or other plans involving the potential issuance of
CBAC Common Stock), including CBACs severance plan, on
terms and conditions which when taken as a whole are comparable
to or better than those then provided by the BOE Entities to
their similarly situated officers and employees. For purposes of
participation, vesting and benefit accrual under any
A-36
of CBACs employee benefit plans, whether new or existing,
the service of the employees of the BOE Entities prior to the
Effective Time shall be treated as service with a CBAC Entity
participating in such employee benefit plans.

BOEs directors and executive officers shall execute and
deliver to CBAC a Support Agreement in the form attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit E.

respectively, and with Bruce B. Nolte in a form to be mutually
agreed upon after the execution of this Agreement. CBAC will
also enter into change of control agreements, which will become
effective as of the Effective Time, with the individuals listed
on Exhibit C and Exhibit D that will
provide certain severance payments and benefits in the event of
a termination of employment under certain circumstances
following a change of control of CBAC, which agreements will
include terms and conditions that are no less favorable to such
individuals than their existing change of control agreements
with BOE or TFC, as applicable Upon execution of this Agreement,
Alexander F. Dillard, Jr. shall have entered into a
Retention Agreement with CBAC in the form attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit G and each of the other members of
the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation designated
by BOE shall have executed and delivered to CBAC a Retention
Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. These
agreements shall become effective at the Effective Time and

forth in Exhibit I. BOE shall use its reasonable
efforts to cause each such Person to deliver to CBAC not later
than 30 days prior to the Effective Time, a written
agreement, in substantially the form of Exhibit J,
providing that such Person will not sell, pledge, transfer, or
otherwise dispose of the shares of BOE Common Stock held by such
Person except as contemplated by such agreement or by this
Agreement and will not sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise
dispose of the shares of CBAC Common Stock to be received by
such Person upon consummation of the Merger except in compliance
with applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder (and CBAC shall be entitled to place
restrictive legends upon certificates for shares of CBAC Common
Stock issued to affiliates of BOE pursuant to this Agreement to
enforce the provisions of this Section 8.9). CBAC shall not be
required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement under the Securities Act of the purposes of resale of
CBAC Common Stock by such affiliates.
(e) The Surviving Corporation will, as of and after the
Effective Time, assume and honor all employment agreements,
severance agreements and deferred compensation agreements that

Part 359 and by BOEs Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof, including provisions

to, use its reasonable efforts (and BOE shall cooperate prior to

period of up to three years after the Effective Time BOEs
existing directors and officers liability insurance
policy (provided that CBAC or the Surviving Corporation may
substitute therefore (i) policies of substantially the same
coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are
substantially no less advantageous or (ii) with the consent
of BOE given prior to the Effective Time, any other policy) with

premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance
coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, CBAC or the Surviving
Corporation shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the
most advantageous policies of directors and officers
liability insurance obtainable for a premium equal to the
Maximum Amount, but shall not be obligated to maintain any
insurance coverage to the extent the cost of such coverage
exceeds the Maximum Amount.
(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification
under paragraph (a) of this Section 8.10, upon
learning of any such Liability or Litigation, shall promptly
notify CBAC thereof in writing. In the event of any such
Litigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time),
(i) CBAC or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right
to assume the defense thereof and neither CBAC nor the Surviving
Corporation shall be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any
legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection
with the defense thereof, except that if CBAC or the Surviving
Corporation elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the
Indemnified Parties advises that there are substantive issues
which raise conflicts of interest between CBAC or the Surviving
Corporation and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties
may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and CBAC or the
Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses
of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as
statements therefore are received; provided, that CBAC
and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated pursuant to
this paragraph (c) to pay for only one firm of counsel for
all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction; (ii) the
Indemnified Parties will cooperate in good faith in the defense
of any such Litigation; and (iii) neither CBAC nor the
Surviving Corporation shall be liable for any settlement
effected without its prior written consent and which does not
provide for a complete and irrevocable release of all
CBACs Entities and their respective directors, officers
and controlling persons, employees, agents and Representatives;
and provided, further, that neither CBAC nor the
Surviving Corporation shall have any obligation hereunder to any
Indemnified Party when and if a court of competent jurisdiction
shall determine, and such determination shall have become final,
that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner
contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.
(d) If CBAC or the Surviving Corporation or any successors
or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person
and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such
consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially
all of its assets to any Person, then and in each case, proper
provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of
CBAC or the Surviving Corporation shall assume the obligations
set forth in this Section 8.10.

to be for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, each
Indemnified Party and their respective heirs and legal and

Except for BOE Financial Advisor as to BOE and except for Keefe,

11.4 Entire
Agreement.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement
(including the documents and instruments referred to herein)
constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder and
supersedes all prior arrangements or understandings with respect
thereto, written or oral. Nothing in this Agreement expressed or
implied, is intended to confer upon any Person, other than the
Parties or their respective successors, any rights, remedies,
obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this
Agreement, other than as provided in Sections 8.9(a) and
8.10.
11.5 Amendments.
To the extent permitted by Law, and subject to Section 1.4,
this Agreement may be amended by a subsequent writing signed by
each of the Parties upon the approval of each of the Parties,
whether before or after stockholder approval of this Agreement

by the holders of BOE Common Stock, there shall be made no
amendment that reduces or modifies in any respect the
consideration to be received by holders of BOE Common Stock.

or extend the time for the compliance or fulfillment by BOE of
any and all of its obligations under this Agreement, and to
waive any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations

of BOE under this
A-53
Agreement, except any condition which, if not satisfied, would
result in the violation of any Law. No such waiver shall be
effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized officer
of BOE.
(c) The failure of any Party at any time or times to
require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner
affect the right of such Party at a later time to enforce the
same or any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver of any
condition or of the breach of any term contained in this
Agreement in one or more instances shall be deemed to be or
construed as a further or continuing waiver of such condition or
breach or a waiver of any other condition or of the breach of
any other term of this Agreement.

nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall

purposes only and are not part of this Agreement. Unless
otherwise indicated, all references to particular Articles or
Sections shall mean and refer to the referenced Articles and
Sections of this Agreement.
11.12 Interpretations.

shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary
meaning of the words used so as fairly to accomplish the
purposes and intentions of all Parties hereto.
11.13 Enforcement
of Agreement.
The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in
the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement was not

connection with this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement
constitutes or shall give rise to, or shall be deemed to
constitute or give rise to, an employee benefit or employee
benefit-related plan, program or other arrangement, a provision
of any such plan, program or other arrangement, or an amendment
of any such plan, program or other arrangement.
(b) If and to the extent any BOE Benefit Plan is sponsored
by BOE, CBAC may, by written direction issued prior to Closing,
require BOE to take all necessary or appropriate action to
terminate each such BOE Benefit Plan or cause the Bank to become
the sole sponsor of each such BOE Benefit Plan prior to Closing.
The intent of the preceding sentence is to permit CBAC to avoid
becoming a sponsor of any and all BOE Benefit Plans as a result
of the Merger.

FIFTH. The Board of Directors is hereby expressly
authorized, by resolution or resolutions from time to time
adopted, to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred

are issued, the Board of Directors shall fix and state, and
hereby is expressly empowered to fix, by resolution or
resolutions, the designations, preferences, and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights of the shares of
each such series, and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereon, including, but not limited to,
determination of any of the following:

shares to constitute such class or series and the stated value
thereof if different from the par value thereof;
(b) whether the shares of such class or series shall have
voting rights, in addition to any voting rights provided by law,
and, if so, the terms of such voting rights, which may be full,
special or limited, and whether the shares of such class or
series shall be entitled to vote as a separate class either
alone or together with the shares of one or more other classes
or series of stock;

(g) whether the shares of such class or series shall be
convertible into, or exchangeable for, at the option of either
the holder or the Corporation or upon the happening of a
specified event, shares of stock of any other class or any other
series of the same class or any other class or classes of
securities or property and, if so, the price or prices or the
rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the method, if any,
of adjusting the same, and any other terms and conditions of
conversion or exchange;
(h) the limitations and restrictions, if any, to be
effective while any shares of such class or series are

Stock.
SIXTH. The following provisions (A) through
(E) shall apply commencing on the effective date of the
registration statement (Effective Date) filed by the
Corporation in connection with the Corporations initial
public offering of securities pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (IPO). A Business
Combination shall mean the initial acquisition (or
simultaneous multiple acquisitions) following the IPO by the
Corporation, whether by merger, capital stock exchange, asset or
stock acquisition or other similar type of transaction or a
combination of the foregoing, of one or more companies which
conducts, directly or indirectly, an operating business in the
banking industry.
A. [Reserved.]
B. [Reserved.]
C. In the event that the proposed Business Combination is
approved in accordance with the above paragraph A and is
consummated by the Corporation, any stockholder of the
Corporation holding shares of Common Stock issued by the
Corporation in the IPO (such shares so issued in connection with
the IPO, the
B-2
IPO Shares) who voted against the Business
Combination may, contemporaneous with such vote, demand that the
Corporation convert his or her IPO Shares into a cash payment in
the manner described in this paragraph C. If so demanded,
in the event that a Business Combination is approved in
accordance with paragraph A of this Article Sixth and
is consummated by the Corporation, the IPO Shares shall
automatically be converted simultaneously with the consummation
of the Business Combination into the right to receive, upon
tendering to the Corporation or its designee the certificate or
certificates representing such IPO Shares and complying with
such other procedures as the Corporation may reasonably
establish, payment from the Corporation in an amount equal to a
per share conversion price, calculated as of the record date for
determination of stockholders entitled to vote on the proposed
Business Combination (the Conversion Price). The
Conversion Price shall equal the ratable portion of the
Trust Fund that includes (A)(1) the net proceeds of the IPO
less sums retained by the Corporation for working capital
purposes; plus (2) one-half of the net interest income
earned on amounts in the Trust Fund including any net
interest income earned on the amounts held in the
Trust Fund representing the Deferred Discount (as defined
below), less applicable taxes, plus (3) the ratable portion
of the gross proceeds representing the Deferred Discount (as
defined below), divided by (B) the number of IPO Shares
outstanding on such record date. Trust Fund
shall mean the funds then held in the trust account established
by the Corporation at the consummation of its IPO pursuant to
the Investment Management Trust Agreement between the
Corporation and the trustee named therein and into which a
certain amount of the net proceeds of the IPO together with the
Deferred Discount are deposited. Deferred Discount
shall mean the portion of the gross proceeds from the sale of
the Corporations Units in the IPO which the
representatives of the underwriters have agreed will be deferred
and paid to the representatives of the underwriters only upon
consummation of a Business Combination less sums paid for shares
converted to cash in connection with the Business Combination.
This paragraph C may not be amended prior to the earlier of
(a) the Termination Date or (b) the date the proposed
Business Combination has been consummated and payment or
provision for the payment of the Conversion Price to all holders
of IPO Shares entitled thereto has been made by the Corporation.
D. [Reserved.]
E. A holder of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive
distributions from the Trust Fund only in the event the
holder demands conversion of the holders shares in
accordance with paragraph C, above or as provided in
paragraph D, above. In no other circumstances shall a
holder of IPO Shares have any right or interest of any kind in
or to the Trust Fund. Holders of shares of capital stock,
other than IPO Shares, shall have no right or interest of any
kind in or to the Trust Fund.
F. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three
classes: Class I, Class II and Class III.
The number of directors in each class shall be as nearly equal
as possible. The directors in Class I shall be elected for
a term expiring at the 2009 Annual Meeting of stockholders, the
directors in Class II shall be elected for a term expiring
at the 2010 Annual Meeting of stockholders, and the directors in
Class III shall be elected for a term expiring at the 2011
Annual Meeting of stockholders. Commencing at the 2009 Annual
Meeting of stockholders, and at each annual meeting thereafter,
directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire
shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third
succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election.
Except as the DGCL may otherwise require, in the interim between
annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of
stockholders called for the election of directors
and/or the
removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy
in that connection, newly created directorships and any
vacancies in the Board of Directors, including unfilled
vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may
be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors
then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in the
Corporations Bylaws), or by the sole remaining director.
All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their
respective terms of office and until their successors shall have
been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy
resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director
shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director
whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such
vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and
qualified.
SEVENTH. The name and mailing address of the
incorporator is Jessica Sauer, 1818 N Street, NW,

the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and
regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors

provided in the by-laws of the Corporation.

contract or act for approval or ratification at any annual
meeting of the stockholders or at any meeting of the
stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act
or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or
be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the
stock of the Corporation which is represented in person or by
proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereat (provided
that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in
person or by proxy) shall be as valid and binding upon the
Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been
approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation,
whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to
legal attack because of directors interest, or for any
other reason.
D. In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore
or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are
hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such
acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation;
subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the laws of
Delaware, of this Certificate of Incorporation, and to any
by-laws from time to time made by the stockholders; provided,
however, that no by-law so made shall invalidate any prior act
of the directors which would have been valid if such by-law had
not been made.
TENTH. The Corporation may agree to the terms and
conditions upon which any director, officer, employee or agent
accepts his office or position and in its bylaws, by contract or
in any other manner may agree to indemnify and protect any

extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.
ELEVENTH. A director of the Corporation shall not be
liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to
the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof
is not permitted under the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any
repeal or modification of the foregoing sentence shall not
adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the
Corporation existing hereunder with respect to any act or
omission occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
TWELFTH. The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended, indemnify any and all
persons who it shall have power to indemnify under such law from
and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other
matters referred to in or covered by such law, and, in addition,
to the extent permitted under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to
action in his director or officer capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue
as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,
employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.
THIRTEENTH. Except as set forth in Article Sixth
hereof, the Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter,

incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by

APPENDIX C
December 13,
2007
The Board of Directors
Community Bankers Acquisition Corporation
9912 Georgetown Pike, Ste. D203
Great Falls, Virginia 22066
Members of the Board:
You have requested our opinion as investment bankers as to the
fairness, from a financial point of view, to Community Bankers
Acquisition Corporation (CBAC) of the exchange ratio
in the proposed merger (the Merger) of BOE Financial
Services of Virginia, Inc. (BOE) with and into CBAC,
pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
December 13, 2007 between BOE and CBAC (the
Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement,
each outstanding share of common stock, par value $5.00 per
share, of BOE (the Common Shares) will be converted
into 5.7278 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per
share, of CBAC. The terms and conditions of the Merger are more
fully set forth in the Agreement.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., has acted as financial
advisor to CBAC. As part of our investment banking business, we
are continually engaged in the valuation of bank and bank
holding company securities in connection with acquisitions,
negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and
unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for
various other purposes. As specialists in the securities of
banking companies, we have experience in, and knowledge of, the
valuation of the banking enterprises. In the ordinary course of
our business as a broker-dealer, we may, from time to time,
purchase securities from, and sell securities to, BOE and CBAC,
and as a market maker in securities, we may from time to time
have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or
equity securities of BOE and CBAC for our own account and for
the accounts of our customers. To the extent we have any such
positions as of the date of this opinion it has been disclosed
to CBAC. We have acted exclusively for the Board of Directors of
CBAC in rendering this fairness opinion and will receive a fee
from CBAC for our services. A portion of our fee is contingent
upon the successful completion of the Merger.
During the past two years we acted as financial advisor to CBAC
in its acquisition of TransCommunity Financial Corporation.
In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, analyzed and
relied upon material bearing upon the financial and operating
condition of BOE and CBAC and the Merger, including among other
things, the following: (i) the Agreement; (ii) the
Annual report to Stockholders and Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the three years ended December 31, 2006 of BOE and the
Annual report to Stockholders and Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal period of April 5, 2005 to March 31,
2007 of CBAC; (iii) certain interim reports to stockholders
and Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q
of BOE and CBAC and certain other communications from BOE and
CBAC to their respective stockholders; and (iv) other
financial information concerning the businesses and operations
of BOE and CBAC furnished to us by BOE and CBAC for purposes of
our analysis. We have also held discussions with senior
management of BOE and CBAC regarding the past and current
business operations, regulatory relations, financial condition
and future prospects of their respective companies and such
other matters as we have deemed relevant to our inquiry. In
addition, we have compared certain financial and stock market
information for BOE with similar information for certain other
companies the securities of which are publicly traded, reviewed
the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in
the banking industry and performed such other studies and
analyses as we considered appropriate.
In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, we have
relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the
financial and other information provided to us or publicly
available and we have not independently verified the accuracy or
completeness of any such information or assumed any
responsibility for such verification or
C-1
accuracy. We have relied upon the management of BOE and CBAC as
to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and
operating forecasts and projections (and the assumptions and
bases therefor) provided to us, and we have assumed that such
forecasts and projections reflect the best currently available
estimates and judgments of such managements and that such
forecasts and projections will be realized in the amounts and in
the time periods currently estimated by such managements. We are
not experts in the independent verification of the adequacy of
allowances for loan and lease losses and we have assumed that
the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses for BOE are
adequate to cover such losses. In rendering our opinion, we have
not made or obtained any evaluations or appraisals of the
property of BOE or CBAC, nor have we examined any individual
credit files.
We have assumed that, in all respects material to our analyses,
the following: (i) the Merger will be completed
substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the
Agreement; (ii) the representations and warranties of each
party in the Agreement and in all related documents and
instruments referred to in the Agreement are true and correct;
(iii) each party to the Agreement and all related documents
will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be
performed by such party under such documents; (iv) all
conditions to the completion of the Merger will be satisfied
without any waivers; and (v) in the course of obtaining the
necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or
approvals for the Merger, no restrictions, including any
divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or
amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a
material adverse effect on the future results of operations or
financial condition of the combined entity or the contemplated
benefits of the Merger, including the cost savings, revenue
enhancements and related expenses expected to result from the
Merger.
We have considered such financial and other factors as we have
deemed appropriate under the circumstances, including, among
others, the following: (i) the historical and current
financial position and results of operations of BOE and CBAC;
(ii) the assets and liabilities of BOE and CBAC; and
(iii) the nature and terms of certain other merger
transactions involving banks and bank holding companies. We have
also taken into account our assessment of general economic,
market and financial conditions and our experience in other
similar transactions, as well as our experience in securities
valuation and knowledge of the banking industry generally. Our
opinion is necessarily based upon conditions as they exist and
can be evaluated on the date hereof and the information made
available to us through the date hereof. Our opinion does not
address the underlying business decision of CBAC to engage in
the Merger, or the relative merits of the Merger as compared to
any strategic alternatives that may be available to CBAC.
We are not expressing any opinion about the fairness of the
amount or nature of the compensation to any of the CBAC or
BOEs officers, directors or employees, or any class of
such persons, relative to the compensation to the public
shareholders of BOE.
This opinion has been reviewed and approved by our Fairness
Opinion Committee in conformity with our policies and procedures
established under the requirements of Rule 2290 of the NASD
Rules of the Financial Institutions Regulatory Authority.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that,
as of the date hereof, the exchange ratio in the Merger is fair,
from a financial point of view, to CBAC.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc.

Board of Directors
BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc.
323 Prince Street
Tappahannock, Virginia 22560
Members of the Board:
BOE Financial Services of Virginia, Inc. (BOE or the
Company) has entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated as of December 13, 2007 (the
Agreement) with Community Bankers Acquisition Corp.
(CBAC) whereby BOE will be merged with and into CBAC
(the Merger), as more fully described in the
Agreement. As consideration for the Merger, each issued and
outstanding share of BOE Common Stock, excluding shares held by
CBAC or any BOE Entity (Excluded Shares), as defined
in the Agreement, shall be converted into the right to receive
5.7278 shares (the Exchange Ratio) of CBAC
Common Stock (Merger Consideration), subject to
adjustment if the Average Closing Price, as defined in the
Agreement, of CBAC Common Stock is less than $7.42. The closing
of the Merger is contingent upon the consummation by CBAC of the
pending acquisition of TransCommunity Financial Corporation
(TCF). The Bank of Essex (the Bank), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of BOE, will remain in existence
following the closing of the Merger and as soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter, any banking subsidiary of CBAC that was
previously a banking subsidiary of TCF will be merged with and
into the Bank (the Bank Merger resulting in the
Surviving Bank). You have requested our opinion as
to the fairness of the Merger Consideration to the holders of
BOE Common Stock, from a financial point of view.
Feldman Financial Advisors, Inc. (Feldman Financial)
specializes in providing financial advisory and consulting
services to financial services companies. As part of our
business, we are regularly engaged in the independent valuation
of businesses and securities in connection with merger and
acquisitions, initial public offerings, private placements, and
other corporate transactions. In rendering this opinion pursuant
to our engagement as BOEs financial advisor in connection
with the Merger, we will receive a fee from BOE for our
services, a portion of which is contingent upon the successful
closing of the Merger.
During the course of our engagement and in preparation of this
opinion, we reviewed, analyzed, and relied upon publicly
available and confidential materials bearing upon the financial
and operating conditions of BOE, CBAC and TCF, and materials
prepared in connection with the proposed Merger, including, but
not limited to, the following: the Agreement; audited and
unaudited historical financial information contained in
Forms 10-K
and 10-Q
concerning BOE and TCF for the last three fiscal years ending
December 31, 2006 and monthly and quarterly financial
information through September 30, 2007; audited and
unaudited historical financial information contained in
Forms 10-K
and 10-Q
concerning CBAC from its inception on April 6, 2005 through
September 30, 2007; the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and
between CBAC and TCF dated September 5, 2007 and Written
Consent and Waiver thereto dated December 13, 2007; the
financial terms of certain recent merger and acquisition
transactions involving companies that we considered relevant;
and other financial studies and analyses prepared by BOE and
TCF. Additionally, we performed such other studies, analyses,
and examinations as we deemed appropriate. We also took into
account our assessment of current and expected future general
market and financial conditions and our experience in other
transactions.
In addition, we have reviewed and discussed financial
projections with BOEs management for the purpose of
reviewing the future prospects of BOE as an independent entity.
We also reviewed and discussed financial projections concerning
TCF with TCFs management for the purpose of reviewing the
future prospects of TCF as an independent entity. We assumed
that, as of the date such projections were prepared, they were
reasonably prepared
D-1
reflecting the best estimates and judgments of BOEs or
TCFs management as to the future operating and financial
performance of BOE or TCF, considering that there will usually
be differences between prospective and actual results because
events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected and
those differences from the assumptions on which the projections
were based may be material.
In performing our review, we have relied upon and assumed
without independent investigation the accuracy and completeness
of all the financial and other information that was provided to
us by BOE, CBAC and TCF. We were not retained and did not
conduct a physical inspection of any of the properties or
facilities of BOE, CBAC or TCF. We did not make any independent
evaluation or appraisal of the respective assets or liabilities
of BOE, CBAC or TCF, nor were we furnished with any such
evaluation or appraisal. We did not make an independent
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of
BOE or TCF, nor have we reviewed any individual credit files
relating to BOE or TCF. We have assumed that the aggregate
allowances for loan losses for BOE and TCF are adequate to cover
such losses. We have further assumed that all of the
representations and warranties contained in the Agreement, as
qualified by the Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits referred to
therein, are true and correct in all material respects, that
each party to the Agreement will perform in all material
respects all of the covenants required to be performed by such
party, and that the conditions precedent in the Agreement are
not waived (other than such waivers as will not have a material
adverse effect on a party to the Agreement, as the case may be).
We have also assumed that, except as described in the Agreement
or in the Disclosure Schedules referred to therein, there has
been no material adverse change in BOEs, CBACs, or
TCFs assets, financial condition, results of operations,
business, or prospects since the date of the most recent
financial statements reviewed or made available to us by BOE,
CBAC, or TCF. Our opinion is necessarily based upon financial,
economic, market, and other conditions as they exist and can be
evaluated as of the date hereof and the information made
available to us through the date hereof. Events occurring after
the date hereof could materially affect this opinion.
Our opinion is directed to the Board of Directors of BOE in
connection with its consideration of the Merger and does not
constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such
stockholder should vote at any meeting of stockholders called to
consider and vote upon the Merger. We are not expressing any
opinion herein as to the prices at which BOE Common Stock or
CBAC Common Stock will trade following the announcement or
consummation of the Merger. Our opinion is directed only to the
fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger
Consideration and does not address the underlying business
decision of BOE to engage in the Merger, the relative merits of
the Merger as compared to any other alternative business
strategies that might exist for BOE, or the effect of any other
transaction in which BOE might engage. We were not requested to,
and we did not, explore alternatives to the Merger or solicit
the interest of any other parties in pursuing potential
transactions with BOE. Feldman Financial believes that the
preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving
the making of judgments and is not susceptible to partial
analysis. Selecting portions of the analyses conducted by
Feldman Financial, without considering the analysis as a whole,
could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying
Feldman Financials opinion and lead to a misleading
conclusion.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that,
as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration is fair to the
holders of BOE Common Stock, from a financial point of view.
Sincerely,
Feldman Financial
Advisors, Inc.

AGREEMENT
AND PLAN OF MERGER
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this
Agreement), dated as of September 5,
2007, is by and between Community Bankers Acquisition Corp., a
Delaware corporation (CBAC) and
TransCommunity Financial Corporation, a Virginia corporation
(TFC).
Preamble
The Boards of Directors of CBAC and TFC are of the opinion that
the transaction described herein is in the best interest of the
Parties and their respective stockholders. This Agreement
provides for the merger of TFC with and into CBAC (the
Merger). At the effective time of the Merger,
the outstanding shares of the capital stock of TFC shall be
converted into the right to receive shares of the common stock
of CBAC (as provided herein and subject to certain terms and
conditions). As a result, stockholders of TFC shall become
stockholders of CBAC. The transactions described in this
Agreement are subject to the approvals of the stockholders of
CBAC and TFC, the Federal Reserve and the Virginia State
Corporation Commissions Bureau of Financial Institutions,
as well as the satisfaction of certain other conditions
described in this Agreement. It is the intention of the Parties
to this Agreement that the Merger for federal income tax
purposes shall qualify as a reorganization within
the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986.
Immediately following the Effective Time, TransCommunity Bank,
N.A., a national bank and a wholly owned subsidiary of TFC (the
Bank) will remain in existence under its
Articles of Association and Bylaws as in effect immediately
prior to the Effective Time as a wholly owned subsidiary of
CBAC. The directors and officers of the Bank prior to the

ARTICLE 3
MANNER OF
CONVERTING SHARES
3.1 Conversion of Shares.
Subject to the provisions of this Article 3, at the
Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action
on the part of CBAC, TFC or the stockholders of either of the
foregoing, the shares of the constituent corporations shall be
converted as follows:
(a) Each share of CBAC Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than those shares
as to which conversion rights provided for in Section C of
Article Sixth of the CBAC Certification of Incorporation
(Conversion Rights) have been exercised,
shall remain issued and outstanding from and after the Effective
Time and be unaffected solely as a result of the Merger.
(b) Each share of TFC Common Stock (excluding shares held
by CBAC or any TFC Entity (Excluded Shares),
in each case other than in a fiduciary capacity or as a result
of debt previously contracted) issued and outstanding at the
Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be
converted into and exchanged for the right to receive
1.4200 shares of CBAC Common Stock (as subject to possible
adjustment as set forth in Section 3.1(c) below, the
Exchange Ratio) and cash in lieu of
fractional shares as set forth in Section 3.3 (the
Merger Consideration).
(c) If, after the Determination Date, the Average Closing
Price is less than $7.42, CBAC shall increase the Exchange Ratio
to equal the quotient (rounded to the nearest
one-ten-thousandth) obtained by dividing (i) $10.5364 by
(ii) the Average Closing Price.
3.2 Anti-Dilution Provisions.
In the event CBAC changes the number of shares of CBAC Common
Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a
result of a stock split, stock dividend, or similar
recapitalization with respect to such stock (specifically
excluding the effect of the exercise of the Conversion Rights)
and the record date therefore (in the case of
E-3
a stock dividend) or the effective date thereof (in the case of
a stock split or similar recapitalization for which a record
date is not established) shall be prior to the Effective Time,
the Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately adjusted.
3.3 Appraisal.
Any holder of shares of TFC Common Stock who perfects such
holders appraisal rights in accordance with and as
contemplated by
Sections 13.1-729
through 13.1-741 of the VSCA shall be entitled to receive from
the Surviving Corporation, in lieu of the Exchange Ratio, the
value of such shares as to which appraisal rights have been
perfected in cash as determined pursuant to such provision of
Law; provided, that no such payment shall be made to any
dissenting stockholder unless and until such dissenting
stockholder has compiled with all applicable provisions of such
Law, and surrendered to TFC the certificate or certificates
representing the shares for which payment is being made (the
Dissenting Shares). In the event that after the
Effective Time a dissenting stockholder of TFC fails to perfect,
or effectively withdraws or loses, such holders right to
appraisal of and payment for such holders shares, CBAC or
the Surviving Corporation shall issue and deliver the
consideration to which such holder of shares of TFC Common Stock
is entitled under this Article 3 (without interest) upon
surrender by such holder of the certificate or certificates
representing such shares of TFC Common Stock held by such holder.
3.4 Fractional Shares.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each
holder of shares of TFC Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the
Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a
fraction of a share of CBAC Common Stock (after taking into
account all certificates delivered by such holder) shall
receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount
equal to such fractional part of a share of CBAC Common Stock
multiplied by the market value of one share of CBAC Common Stock
at the Effective Time. The market value of one share of CBAC
Common Stock at the Effective Time shall be the closing price on
the AMEX (as reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if
not reported thereby, any other authoritative source selected by
CBAC) on the last trading day preceding the Effective Time.
3.5 Conversion of Stock Rights.
(a) At the Effective Time, each award, option, or other
right to purchase or acquire shares of TFC Common Stock pursuant
to stock options, stock appreciation rights, or stock awards
(TFC Rights) granted by TFC under the TFC
Stock Plans, which are outstanding at the Effective Time,
whether or not exercisable, shall be converted into and become
rights with respect to CBAC Common Stock, and CBAC shall assume
each TFC Right, in accordance with the terms of the TFC Stock
Plan and stock option agreement by which it is evidenced, except
that from and after the Effective Time, (i) CBAC and its
Compensation Committee, as established at the Effective Time of
the Merger, shall be substituted for TFC and the committee of
TFCs Board of Directors (including, if applicable, the
entire Board of Directors of TFC) administering such TFC Stock
Plan, (ii) each TFC Right assumed by CBAC may be exercised
solely for shares of CBAC Common Stock (or cash in the case of
stock appreciation rights), (iii) the number of shares of
CBAC Common Stock subject to such TFC Right shall be equal to
the number of shares of TFC Common Stock subject to such TFC
Right immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the
Exchange Ratio, and (iv) the per share exercise price (or
similar threshold price, in the case of stock awards) under each
such TFC Right shall be adjusted by dividing the per share
exercise (or threshold) price under each such TFC Right by the
Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the nearest cent.
Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (iii) of the
preceding sentence, CBAC shall not be obligated to issue any
fraction of a share of CBAC Common Stock upon exercise of TFC
Rights and any fraction of a share of CBAC Common Stock that
otherwise would be subject to a converted TFC Right shall
represent the right to receive a cash payment equal to the
product of such fraction and the difference between the market
value of one share of CBAC Common Stock and the per share
exercise price of such Right. The market value of one share of
CBAC Common Stock shall be the closing price on the AMEX (as
reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported
thereby, any other authoritative source selected by CBAC) on the
last trading day preceding the Effective Time. In addition,
notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (iii) and
(iv) of the first sentence of this Section 3.5, each
TFC Right which is an incentive stock option shall
be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Internal
Revenue Code, so as not to constitute a modification, extension,
or renewal of the option, within the meaning of
Section 424(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. CBAC agrees to
take all necessary steps to effectuate the foregoing provisions
of this Section 3.5.
E-4
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective
Time, CBAC shall deliver to the participants in each TFC Stock
Plan an appropriate notice setting forth such participants
rights pursuant thereto and the grants pursuant to such TFC
Stock Plan shall continue in effect on the same terms and
conditions (subject to the adjustments required by
Section 3.5(a) after giving effect to the Merger), and CBAC
shall comply with the terms of each TFC Stock Plan to ensure, to
the extent required by, and subject to the provisions of, such
TFC Stock Plan, that TFC Rights which qualified as incentive
stock options prior to the Effective Time continue to qualify as
incentive stock options after the Effective Time. At or prior to
the Effective Time, CBAC shall take all corporate action
necessary to adopt and maintain the TFC Stock Plan and reserve
for issuance sufficient shares of CBAC Common Stock for delivery
upon exercise of TFC Rights assumed by it in accordance with
this Section 3.5. As soon as reasonably practicable after the
Effective Time, CBAC shall file a registration statement on
Form S-1
or
Form S-8,
as the case may be (or any successor or other appropriate
forms), with respect to the shares of CBAC Common Stock subject
to such options and shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain
the effectiveness of such registration statements (and maintain
the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained
therein) for so long as such options remain outstanding. With
respect to those individuals who subsequent to the Merger will
be subject to the reporting requirements under
Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act, where applicable, CBAC
shall administer the TFC Stock Plan assumed pursuant to this
Section 3.5 in a manner that complies with
Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the 1934 Act.
(c) All restrictions or limitations on transfer with
respect to TFC Common Stock awarded under the TFC Stock Plans or
any other plan, program, or arrangement of any TFC Entity, to
the extent that such restrictions or limitations shall not have
already lapsed, and except as otherwise expressly provided in
such plan, program, or arrangement, shall remain in full force
and effect with respect to shares of CBAC Common Stock into
which such restricted stock is converted pursuant to this
Agreement.
(d) Nothing in this Section 3.5 shall be interpreted
as preventing CBAC, from and after the Effective Time, from
amending, modifying or terminating the TFC Stock Plan to comply
with any Law or as appropriate for other business reasons in
accordance with its terms and applicable Law.
ARTICLE 4
EXCHANGE
OF SHARES
4.1 Exchange Procedures.
(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective
Time, CBAC shall cause the exchange agent selected by CBAC (the
Exchange Agent) to mail to the former
stockholders of TFC appropriate transmittal materials (which
shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss
and title to the certificates or other instruments theretofore
representing shares of TFC Common Stock shall pass, only upon
proper delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent). The
certificate or certificates of TFC Common Stock so surrendered
shall be duly endorsed as the Exchange Agent may reasonably
require. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of
TFC Common Stock represented by certificates that are not
registered in the transfer records of TFC, the Merger
Consideration payable for such shares as provided in
Section 3.1 may be issued to a transferee if the
certificates representing such shares are delivered to the
Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to
evidence such transfer and by evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Exchange Agent that such transfer is proper and that any
applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. In the event any
certificate representing TFC Common Stock certificate shall have
been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit
of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost,
stolen or destroyed and the posting by such person of a bond in
such amount as CBAC may reasonably direct as indemnity against
any claim that may be made against it with respect to such
certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such
lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the Merger Consideration
as provided for in Section 3.1. The Exchange Agent may
establish such other reasonable and customary rules and
procedures in connection with its duties as it may deem
appropriate. CBAC shall pay all charges and expenses, including
those of the Exchange Agent in connection with the distribution
of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.1.
(b) After the Effective Time, each holder of shares of TFC
Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding
at the Effective Time shall surrender the Certificate or
Certificates representing such shares to the Exchange Agent and
shall promptly upon surrender thereof receive in exchange
therefore the consideration
E-5
provided in Section 3.1, without interest, pursuant to this
Section 4.1. CBAC shall not be obligated to deliver the
consideration to which any former holder of TFC Common Stock is
entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders
such holders Certificate or Certificates for exchange as
provided in this Section 4.1. Any other provision of this
Agreement notwithstanding, neither CBAC, nor any TFC Entity, nor
the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of TFC Common
Stock or to any holder of TFC Rights for any amounts paid or
properly delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant
to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
(c) Each of CBAC and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled
to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable
pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of TFC Common
Stock such amounts, if any, as it is required to deduct and
withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the
Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law or by
any Taxing Authority or Governmental Authority. To the extent
that any amounts are so withheld by CBAC, the Surviving
Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such
withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of TFC
Common Stock or TFC Rights, as applicable in respect of which
such deduction and withholding was made by CBAC, the Surviving
Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.
(d) Adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of TFC
shall constitute ratification of the appointment of the Exchange
Agent.
4.2 Rights of Former TFC Stockholders.
At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of TFC shall be
closed as to holders of TFC Common Stock and no transfer of TFC
Common Stock by any holder of such shares shall thereafter be
made or recognized. Until surrendered for exchange in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4.1, each Certificate
theretofore representing shares of TFC Common Stock (other than
certificates representing Excluded Shares and Dissenting
Shares), shall from and after the Effective Time represent for
all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration,
without interest, as provided in Article 3.

affecting any site of employment or one or more facilities or
operating units within any site of employment or facility of any
TFC Entity; or (ii) a mass layoff (as defined

Disclosure Memorandum, and has delivered or made available to
CBAC prior to the execution of this Agreement copies of
(i) each Employee Benefit Plan currently adopted,
maintained by, sponsored in whole or in part by, or contributed
or required to be contributed to by any TFC Entity or ERISA
Affiliate thereof for the benefit of employees, former
employees, retirees, dependents, spouses, directors, independent
contractors, or other beneficiaries or under which employees,
retirees, former employees, dependents, spouses, directors,
independent contractors, or other beneficiaries are eligible to
participate (each, a TFC Benefit Plan, and
collectively, the TFC Benefit Plans) and
(ii) has listed in Section 5.15(a)(ii) of the TFC
Disclosure Memorandum each Employee Benefit Plan that is not
identified in (i) above (e.g., former Employee Benefit
Plans) in respect of which any TFC Entity or ERISA Affiliate
thereof has or reasonably could have any obligation or Liability
(each, an Other Plan). Any of the TFC Benefit
Plans which is an employee pension benefit plan, as
that term is defined in ERISA Section 3(2), is referred to
herein as a TFC ERISA Plan. No TFC ERISA Plan
or Other Plan is a defined benefit plan (as defined

E-15
(c) Each TFC Benefit Plan is in material compliance with
the terms of such TFC Benefit Plan, in material compliance with
the applicable requirements of the Code, in material compliance
with the applicable requirements of ERISA, and in material
compliance with any other applicable Laws. Each TFC ERISA Plan
which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Code has received a favorable determination letter or
opinion from the IRS that is as current as possible under
applicable IRS procedures and that is still in effect and
applies to the applicable TFC ERISA Plan as amended and as
administered or, within the time permitted under Code
Section 401(b), has timely applied for a favorable
determination letter, which when issued, will be as current as
possible under applicable IRS procedures and which, when issued,
will apply retroactively to the TFC ERISA Plan as amended and as
administered. TFC is not aware of any circumstances likely to
result in revocation of any such favorable determination letter,
which has been issued by the IRS, and TFC is not aware of any
circumstances likely to result in a failure to issue any such
favorable determination letter for which it has applied. TFC has
not received any communication (written or unwritten) from any
Governmental Authority questioning or challenging the compliance
of any TFC Benefit Plan with applicable Laws. No TFC Benefit
Plan is currently being audited by any Governmental Authority
for compliance with applicable Laws or has been audited with a
determination by any Governmental Authority that the Employee
Benefit Plan failed to comply with applicable Laws.
(d) There has been no oral or written representation or
communication with respect to any aspect of any TFC Benefit Plan
made to any employee of any TFC Entity which is not in
accordance with the written or otherwise preexisting terms and
provisions of such plans. Neither TFC nor any administrator or
fiduciary of any TFC Benefit Plan (or any agent of any of the
foregoing) has engaged in any transaction, or acted or failed to
act in any manner, which could subject CBAC or any TFC Entity to
any direct or indirect Liability (by indemnity or otherwise) for
breach of any fiduciary, co-fiduciary or other duty under ERISA.
There are no unresolved claims or disputes under the terms of,
or in connection with, any TFC Benefit Plan other than claims
for benefits which are payable in the ordinary course of
business and no action, proceeding, prosecution, inquiry,
hearing or investigation has been commenced with respect to any
TFC Benefit Plan.
(e) All TFC Benefit Plan documents and annual reports or
returns, audited or unaudited financial statements, actuarial
valuations, summary annual reports, and summary plan
descriptions issued with respect to the TFC Benefit Plans are
correct and complete in all material respects, have been timely
filed with the IRS or the DOL (to the extent required by Law),
and distributed to participants of any or all of the TFC Benefit
Plans (as required by Law), and there have been no changes in
the information set forth therein.
(f) To TFCs Knowledge, no party in
interest (as defined in ERISA Section 3(14)) or
disqualified person (as defined in Code Section
4975(e)(2)) of any TFC Benefit Plan has engaged in any nonexempt
prohibited transaction (described in Code
Section 4975(c) or ERISA Section 406).
(g) No TFC Entity has, or ever has had, any Liability
related to, a pension plan or any other plan that is or was
subject to Code Section 412 or ERISA Section 302 or
Title IV of ERISA. There is no Lien nor is there expected
to be a Lien under Code Section 412(n) or ERISA
Section 302(f) or Tax under Code Section 4971
applicable to any TFC Entity or any TFC Entitys Assets.
Neither TFC nor any of its ERISA Affiliates is subject to or can
reasonably be expected to become subject to a Lien under Code
Section 401(a)(29). All premiums required to be paid under
ERISA Section 4006, if any, have been timely paid by TFC and by
each of its ERISA Affiliates.
(h) No Liability under Title IV of ERISA has been or
is expected to be incurred by any TFC Entity or any ERISA
Affiliate thereof and no event has occurred that could
reasonably result in Liability under Title IV of ERISA
being incurred by any TFC Entity or any ERISA Affiliate thereof
with respect to any ongoing, frozen, terminated or other
single-employer plan. There has been no reportable
event, within the meaning of ERISA Section 4043, for
which the
30-day
reporting requirement has not been waived by any ongoing,
frozen, terminated or other single employer plan of any TFC
Entity or of any ERISA Affiliate thereof.
(i) Except as disclosed in Section 5.15(i) of the TFC
Disclosure Memorandum, no TFC Entity has any Liability for
retiree or similar health, life or death benefits under any of
the TFC Benefit Plans, or other plan or arrangement, except to
the extent required under Part 6 of Title I of ERISA
or Code Section 4980B and there are no restrictions on the
rights of such TFC Entity to amend or terminate any such retiree
health or benefit plan without incurring any Liability
thereunder. No Tax under Code Sections 4980B or 5000 has been
incurred with respect to any TFC Benefit Plan, or other plan or
arrangement, and no circumstance exists which could give rise to
such Taxes.

accrued pursuant to funded retirement plans, whether or not
subject to the provisions of Code Section 412 or ERISA
Section 302, have been fully reflected on the TFC Financial
Statements to the extent required by and in accordance with GAAP.

succeed to and have all the rights in, to and under such life
insurance Contracts as TFC presently holds. Each TFC Entity
will, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and
will continue to have, notwithstanding this Agreement or the
consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, all
ownership rights and interest in all corporate or bank-owned
life insurance.
(o) No TFC Benefit Plan holds any employer security (within
the meaning of ERISA Section 407(d)(1)) or employer real

and no commitment has been made that would require any TFC
Benefit Plan to hold any such employer security or employer real

From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the

and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to; (i) operate

adversely affect the ability of any Party to perform its
covenants and agreements under this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing and Section 8.3 hereof, provided CBAC

Directors of TFC (the membership of such committee to be
determined by the Board of Directors of TFC), nothing in this
Agreement shall be interpreted to prohibit CBAC from negotiating
or, with the consent of TFC, which consent may not be
unreasonably withheld, entering into a binding letter of intent
or a definitive agreement to acquire a financial institution
whether by merger or otherwise or from taking action to list its
shares on the Nasdaq Global Market and delist its shares from

7.4 Adverse Changes in Condition.
Each Party agrees to give written notice promptly to the other
Party upon becoming aware of the occurrence or impending
occurrence of any event or circumstance relating to it or any of
its Subsidiaries which (i) has had or is reasonably likely
to have, individually or in the aggregate, a TFC Material
Adverse Effect or a CBAC Material Adverse Effect, as applicable,

same.
7.5 Reports.
Each of CBAC and its Subsidiaries and TFC and its Subsidiaries
shall file all reports required to be filed by it with
Regulatory Authorities between the date of this Agreement and
the Effective Time and shall deliver to the other Party copies
of all such reports promptly after the same are filed. Each of
the CBAC Financial Statements and the TFC Financial Statements
prepared after the date of this Agreement, whether or not
contained in any such reports filed under the Exchange Act or
with any other Regulatory Authority, will fairly present in all
material respects the financial position of the entity filing
such statements as of the dates indicated and the results of
operations, changes in stockholders equity, and cash flows
for the periods then ended in accordance with GAAP (subject in
the case of interim financial statements to normal recurring
year-end adjustments that are not material). As of their
respective dates, such reports filed under the Exchange Act or
with any other Regulatory Authority will comply in all material
respects with the Securities Laws and will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. Any financial statements
contained in any other reports to another Regulatory Authority
shall be prepared in accordance with the Laws applicable to such
reports.
7.6 Claims Against Trust Account.
TFC understands that, except for a portion of the interest
earned on the amounts held in the Trust Fund, CBAC may
disburse monies from the Trust Fund only: (a) to its
public stockholders in the event of the redemption of their
shares or the dissolution and liquidation of CBAC, (b) to
CBAC (less CBACs deferred underwriting compensation only)
after CBAC consummates a business combination (as described in
the Prospectus) or (c) as consideration to the sellers of a
target business with which CBAC completes a business combination.
E-32
TFC agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision contained
in this Agreement, TFC does not now have, and shall not at any
time prior to the Effective Time have, any claim to, or make any
claim against, the Trust Fund, regardless of whether such
claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in
any way to, the business relationship between TFC on the one
hand, and CBAC on the other hand, this Agreement, or any other
agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such
claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory
of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively
referred to in this Section 7.6 as the
Claims). Notwithstanding any other provision
contained in this Agreement, TFC hereby irrevocably waives any
Claim it may have, now or in the future (in each case, however,
prior to the consummation of a business combination), and will
not seek recourse against the Trust Fund for any reason
whatsoever in respect thereof. In the event that TFC commences
any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with,
relating to or arising out of any matter relating to CBAC, which
proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the
Trust Fund or the public stockholders of CBAC, whether in
the form of money damages or injunctive relief, CBAC shall be
entitled to recover from TFC the associated legal fees and costs
in connection with any such action, in the event CBAC prevails
in such action or proceeding.

reasonably requested in connection with the foregoing. As a
result of the registration of the CBAC Common Stock pursuant to
the Registration Statement, such stock shall be freely tradable

transfer of any shares of CBAC Common Stock received by
stockholders of TFC is subject to the provisions of

supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in

purpose of obtaining the CBAC Stockholder Approval or the TFC
Stockholder Approval, as applicable, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading. Each of CBAC and TFC further
agrees that if it shall become aware prior to the Effective Date
of any information that would cause any of the statements in the
Registration Statement or Joint Proxy Statement to be false or
misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein
not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other Party
thereof and to take the necessary steps to correct the Joint
Proxy Statement.
E-33
(d) In the case of CBAC, CBAC will advise TFC, promptly
after CBAC receives notice thereof, of the time when the
Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or
amendment has been filed, or of the issuance of any stop order
or the suspension of the qualification of the CBAC Common Stock
for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or
threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request
by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Registration

of CBAC and TFC shall recommend to their respective stockholders
the approval of the matters submitted for approval and
(iii) the Board of Directors and officers of CBAC and TFC
shall use their reasonable efforts to obtain such
stockholders approval; provided that each of CBAC
and TFC may withdraw, modify, or change in an adverse manner to
the other Party its recommendations of the Board of Directors of
such Party, after having consulted with and based upon the
advice of counsel, determines in good faith that the failure to
so withdraw, modify or change its recommendation could
constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of such Partys
Board of Directors under applicable Law.
8.3 Other Offers, etc.
(a) Neither CBAC nor any TFC Entity shall, nor shall either
Party authorize or permit any of their respective Affiliates or
Representatives to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit,
initiate, encourage or induce the making, submission or
announcement of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate
in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any

with, any Person or Group in response to a bona fide
unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal submitted by such
Person or Group (and not withdrawn) if (A) neither CBAC nor
any TFC Entity or their respective Representatives or
Affiliates, as applicable, shall have violated any of the
restrictions set forth in this Section 8.3, (B) the
Board of Directors of CBAC or TFC, as the case may be, in its
good faith judgment (based on, among other things, the advice of
CBAC Financial Advisor or TFC Financial Advisor, as applicable,
that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal,
(C) the Board of Directors of CBAC or TFC, as the case may
be, concludes in good faith, after consultation with and receipt
of a written opinion from its outside legal counsel, that the
failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its
fiduciary duties, as such duties would exist in the absence of
this Section 8.3, to the stockholders of CBAC or TFC, as
the case may be, under applicable Law, (D) (1) at least
five business days prior to furnishing any such nonpublic
information to, or entering into discussions or negotiations
with, such Person or Group, the Party gives the other Party
written notice of the identity of such Person or Group and of
such Partys intention to furnish nonpublic information to,
or enter into discussions or negotiations with, such Person or
Group, and (2) such Party receives from such Person or
Group an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms no
less favorable to the disclosing Party than the confidentiality
terms of this Agreement, and (E) contemporaneously with
furnishing any such nonpublic information to such Person or
Group, such Party furnishes such nonpublic information to the
other Party (to the extent such nonpublic information has not
been previously furnished by such
E-34
Party). In addition to the foregoing, such Party shall provide
the other Party with at least five business days prior
written notice of a meeting of its Board of Directors at which
meeting such Board of Directors is reasonably expected to
resolve to recommend a Superior Proposal of CBAC or TFC, as the
case may be, to its stockholders and together with such notice a
copy of the most recently proposed documentation relating to
such Superior Proposal; provided, further, that such
Party hereby agrees promptly to provide to the other Party any
revised documentation and any definitive agreement relating to
such Superior Proposal.
(b) In addition to the obligations set forth in this
Section 8.3, as promptly as practicable, after any of the
directors or executive officers of CBAC or TFC, as the case may
be, become aware thereof, the applicable Party shall advise the
other Party of (x) any request received by it for nonpublic
information which such Party reasonably believes could lead to
an Acquisition Proposal or (y) any Acquisition Proposal,
the material terms and conditions of such request or Acquisition
Proposal, and the identity of the Person or Group making any
such request or Acquisition Proposal. Each Party shall keep the
other Party informed promptly of material amendments or
modifications to any such request or Acquisition Proposal.
(c) CBAC and each TFC Entity shall, and shall cause their
respective directors, officers, employees and Representatives to
immediately cease any and all existing activities, discussions
or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with
respect to any Acquisition Proposal and will use and cause to be
used all reasonable efforts to enforce any confidentiality or
similar or related agreement relating to any Acquisition
Proposal.
(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent a
Party or its Board of Directors from complying with
Rule 14d-9
and
Rule 14e-2
under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition
Proposal; provided that, such Rules will in no way
eliminate or modify the effect that any action pursuant to such
Rules would otherwise have under this Agreement.
8.4 Consents of Regulatory Authorities.
The Parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and use their
reasonable efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary
documentation and applications, to effect all applications,
notices, petitions and filings, and to obtain as promptly as
practicable all Consents of all Regulatory Authorities and other
Persons which are necessary or advisable to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the
Merger). Each of CBAC and TFC agrees to use all reasonable
efforts to cause the necessary documentation and applications to
be filed with the Regulatory Authorities within thirty
(30) days of the date of this Agreement. The Parties agree
that they will consult with each other with respect to the
obtaining of all Consents of all Regulatory Authorities and
other Persons necessary or advisable to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each Party will
keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to
contemplation of the transactions contemplated herein. Each
Party also shall promptly advise the other upon receiving any
communication from any Regulatory Authority or other Person
whose Consent is required for consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement which causes such Party to
believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any requisite
Consent will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such
Consent will be materially delayed.
8.5 Agreement as to Efforts to Consummate.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each
Party agrees to use, and to cause its Subsidiaries to use, its
reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions,
and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, or
advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make
effective, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including using its reasonable efforts to lift or rescind any
Order adversely affecting its ability to consummate the
transactions contemplated herein and to cause to be satisfied

that, nothing herein shall preclude either Party from
exercising its rights under this Agreement.
8.6 Investigation and Confidentiality.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, each Party shall keep the
other Party advised of all material developments relevant to its
business and the consummation of the Merger and shall permit the
other Party to make or cause to be made such investigation of
its business and properties (including that of its Subsidiaries)
and of their respective financial and legal conditions as the
other Party reasonably requests; provided that such
investigation shall be
E-35
reasonably related to the transactions contemplated hereby and
shall not interfere unnecessarily with normal operations. No
investigation by a Party shall affect the ability of such Party
to rely on the representations and warranties of the other
Party. Between the date hereof and the Effective Time, TFC shall
permit CBACs senior officers and independent public
accountants to meet with the respective senior officers of TFC,
including officers responsible for the TFC Financial Statements,
the internal controls of TFC and the disclosure controls and
procedures of TFC and TFCs independent public accountants
to discuss such matters as CBAC may deem reasonably necessary or
appropriate for CBAC to satisfy its obligations under
Sections 302, 404 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. TFC
shall permit the Chief Executive Officer of CBAC to attend
meetings of TFCs Board of Directors or any committee
thereof as an observer, except that the Chief Executive Officer
of CBAC may not attend, unless otherwise permitted by TFC, any
portion of such meeting during which this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby are discussed or where
litigation involving TFC is being discussed and counsel for TFC
has advised TFC that the presence of CBAC representatives may
jeopardize the attorney/client privilege. TFC shall not be
required to provide access to or to disclose information where
such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights
of any customer, would contravene any law, rule, regulation,
order or judgment, would violate any fiduciary obligations or
duties of the officers or directors of TFC or would violate any
confidentiality agreement; provided that TFC shall
cooperate with CBAC in seeking to obtain Consents from
appropriate parties under whose rights or authority access is
otherwise restricted.
(b) In addition to each Partys obligations pursuant
to Section 8.6(a), each Party shall, and shall cause its
advisors and agents to, maintain the confidentiality of all
confidential information furnished to it by the other Party

each of TFCs directors and executive officers shall

Disclosure Memorandum each Person whom it reasonably believes

agreement, in substantially the form of Exhibit F,
providing that such Person will not sell, pledge, transfer, or
otherwise dispose of the shares of TFC Common Stock held by such
Person except as contemplated by such agreement or by this

dispose of the shares of CBAC Common Stock to be received by
such Person upon consummation of the Merger except in compliance

to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former
directors, officers, employees and agents of the TFC Entities
(each, an Indemnified Party) against all
Liabilities arising out of actions or omissions arising out of
the Indemnified Partys service or services as directors,
officers, employees or agents of TFC or, at TFCs request,
of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise occurring at or prior to the Effective Time
(including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to
the fullest extent permitted under the VSCA, Section 402 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Securities Laws and
Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and FDIC
Regulations Part 359 promulgated thereunder and by
TFCs Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws as in effect on
the date hereof, including provisions relating to advances of
expenses incurred in the defense of any Litigation and whether
or not CBAC is insured against any such matter. Without limiting
the foregoing, in any case in which approval by the Surviving
Corporation is required to effectuate any indemnification, the
Surviving Corporation shall direct, at the election of the
Indemnified Party, that the determination of any such approval
shall be made by independent counsel mutually agreed upon
between CBAC and the Indemnified Party.
(b) CBAC shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation
to, use its reasonable efforts (and TFC shall cooperate prior to
the Effective Time in these efforts) to maintain in effect for a
period of up to three years after the Effective Time TFCs
existing directors and officers liability insurance
policy (provided that CBAC or the Surviving Corporation may
substitute therefore (i) policies of substantially the same
coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are
substantially no less advantageous or (ii) with the consent
of TFC given
E-37
prior to the Effective Time, any other policy) with respect to
claims arising from facts or events which occurred prior to the
Effective Time and covering persons who are currently covered by
such insurance; provided that none of TFC, CBAC nor the
Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to make aggregate
premium payments longer than three years in respect of such
policy (or coverage replacing such policy) and which exceed, for
the portion related to TFCs directors and officers, 200%
of the annual premium payments on TFCs current policy in
effect as of the date of this Agreement (the Maximum
Amount). If the amount of the premiums necessary to
maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum
Amount, CBAC or the Surviving Corporation shall use its
reasonable efforts to maintain the most advantageous policies of
directors and officers liability insurance
obtainable for a premium equal to the Maximum Amount, but shall
not be obligated to maintain any insurance coverage to the
extent the cost of such coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount.
(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification
under paragraph (a) of this Section 8.10, upon
learning of any such Liability or Litigation, shall promptly
notify CBAC thereof in writing. In the event of any such
Litigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time),
(i) CBAC or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right
to assume the defense thereof and neither CBAC nor the Surviving
Corporation shall be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any
legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection
with the defense thereof, except that if CBAC or the Surviving
Corporation elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the
Indemnified Parties advises that there are substantive issues
which raise conflicts of interest between CBAC or the Surviving
Corporation and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties
may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and CBAC or the
Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses
of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as
statements therefore are received; provided that CBAC and
the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated pursuant to this
paragraph (c) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all
Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction; (ii) the
Indemnified Parties will cooperate in good faith in the defense
of any such Litigation; and (iii) neither CBAC nor the
Surviving Corporation shall be liable for any settlement
effected without its prior written consent and which does not
provide for a complete and irrevocable release of all
CBACs Entities and their respective directors, officers
and controlling persons, employees, agents and Representatives;
and provided, further, that neither CBAC nor the
Surviving Corporation shall have any obligation hereunder to any
Indemnified Party when and if a court of competent jurisdiction
shall determine, and such determination shall have become final,
that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner
contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.
(d) If CBAC or the Surviving Corporation or any successors
or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person
and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such
consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially
all of its assets to any Person, then and in each case, proper
provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of
CBAC or the Surviving Corporation shall assume the obligations
set forth in this Section 8.10.
(e) The provisions of this Section 8.10 are intended
to be for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, each
Indemnified Party and their respective heirs and legal and
personal representatives.
8.11 Employee Non-Solicitation.
In the event this Agreement is terminated, for a period of three
years following such termination CBAC shall not solicit (other
than through the use of general employment advertising or an
independent employment agency or search firm, in either case
where such solicitation is not specifically targeted at
TFCs employees) any part-time or full-time employee of TFC
without the prior written consent of TFC.
8.12 Net Operating Losses.
The Parties agree to use their reasonable efforts to ensure that
the Surviving Corporation may use TFCs net operating
losses, as defined in the Code.

(c) Any singular term in this Agreement shall be deemed to
include the plural, and any plural term the singular. Whenever
the words include, includes or
including are used in this Agreement, they shall be
deemed followed by the words without limitation, and
such terms shall not be limited by enumeration or example.
11.2 Expenses.
(a) Each of the Parties shall bear and pay all direct costs
and expenses incurred by it or on its behalf in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereunder, including filing,
registration and application fees, printing fees, and fees and
expenses of its own financial or other consultants, investment
bankers, accountants, and counsel, and which in the case of TFC,
shall be paid at Closing and prior to the Effective Time.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if:
(i) TFC terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Section 10.1(b) due to a breach by CBAC, either Party
terminates pursuant to Section 10.1(c)(iii) or
(iv) due to the failure to obtain the CBAC Stockholder
Approval or either Party terminates pursuant to Section 10.1(f)
and, in the case of a termination under Section 10.1(c)(iii) or
Section 10.1(f), (x) there has been publicly announced
and not withdrawn another Acquisition Proposal relating to CBAC
or (y) CBAC has failed to perform and comply in all
material respects with any of its obligations, agreements or
covenants required by this Agreement, and within 12 months
of such termination CBAC shall either (A) consummate an
Acquisition Transaction or (B) enter into a definitive
agreement with respect to an Acquisition Transaction, whether or
not such Acquisition Transaction is subsequently consummated
(but changing, in the case of (A) and (B), the references
to the 5% and 90% amounts in the definition of Acquisition
Transaction to 50% and 80%, respectively); or
(ii) CBAC terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section
10.1(b) due to a breach by TFC, either Party terminates pursuant
to Section 10.1(c)(iii) or (iv) due to the failure to
obtain the TFC Stockholder Approval or either Party terminates
pursuant to Section 10.1(f) and, in the case of a termination
under Section 10.1(c)(iii) or (iv) or Section 10.1(f),
(x) there has been publicly announced and not withdrawn
another Acquisition Proposal relating to TFC or (y) TFC has
failed to perform and comply in all material respects with any

(B) enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an
Acquisition Transaction, whether or not such Acquisition
Transaction is subsequently consummated (but
E-52
changing, in the case of (A) and (B), the references to the
5% and 90% amounts in the definition of Acquisition Transaction
to 50% and 80%, respectively); or
(iii) CBAC terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section
10.1(d)(i) or TFC terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section
10.1(e)(ii); or
(iv) CBAC terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section
10.1(d)(ii) or TFC terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section
10.1(e)(i).
then, in the case of a termination as set forth in subsections
(b)(i) or (b)(iv) of this Section 11.2, CBAC shall pay to
TFC, and, in the case of a termination as set forth in
subsection (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) of this Section 11.2, TFC
shall pay to CBAC, an amount equal to $500,000 (the
Termination Fee); provided however, that an
additional termination fee (the Additional Termination
Fee) of $1,200,000 if, and only if, an Acquisition
Transaction involving the Party liable for the payment of the
Termination Fee is consummated within 12 months of such
termination and such Additional Termination Fee shall only be
payable at the time of consummation of such Acquisition
Transaction. Each Party hereby waives any right to set-off or
counterclaim against such amount. If the Termination Fee shall
be payable pursuant to subsection (b)(i) or (b)(ii) of this
Section 11.2 in connection with a termination pursuant to
Section 10.1(c)(iii) or 10.1(f), the Termination Fee shall be
paid in
same-day
funds at or prior to the earlier of the date of consummation of
such Acquisition Transaction or the date of execution of a
definitive agreement with respect to such Acquisition
Transaction. If the Termination Fee shall be payable pursuant to
subsection (b)(iii) of this Section 11.2, the Termination
Fee shall be paid in
same-day
funds upon the earlier of (i) the execution of a definitive
agreement with respect to such Acquisition Transaction or
(ii) two business days from the date of termination of this
Agreement. If the Termination Fee shall be payable pursuant to
subsection (b)(i) or (b)(ii) of this Section 11.2 in
connection with a termination pursuant to Section 10.1(b)
or subsection (b)(iv) of this Section 11.2, the Termination
Fee shall be paid in
same-day
funds at or prior to the termination of this Agreement.
(c) The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained
in Section 11.2(b) are an integral part of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and that without these
agreements, they would not enter into this Agreement;
accordingly, if a Party fails to pay promptly any fee payable by
it pursuant to this Section 11.2, then such Party shall pay
to the other Party, its costs and expenses (including
attorneys fees) in connection with collecting such fee,
together with interest on the amount of the fee at the then
current prime rate (as reported in the Wall Street Journal
or such other authoritative source to be agreed upon by the
Parties).
(d) Nothing contained in this Section 11.2 shall
constitute or shall be deemed to constitute liquidated damages
for the willful breach by TFC of the terms of this Agreement or
otherwise limit the rights of CBAC.
11.3 Brokers, Finders and Financial Advisors.
Except for CBAC Financial Advisor as to CBAC and except for TFC
Financial Advisor as to TFC, each of the Parties represents and
warrants that neither it nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, or Affiliates has employed any broker or finder or
incurred any Liability for any financial advisory fees,
investment bankers fees, brokerage fees, commissions, or
finders fees in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby. In the event of a claim by any
broker or finder based upon such brokers representing or
being retained by or allegedly representing or being retained by
CBAC or by TFC, each of CBAC and TFC, as the case may be, agrees
to indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from any
Liability in respect of any such claim. Each Party has provided
the other Party a copy of CBAC Financial Advisors and TFC
Financial Advisors engagement letter, respectively, and
expected fee for its services and shall pay all amounts due
thereunder at Closing and prior to the Effective Time.
11.4 Entire Agreement.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement
(including the documents and instruments referred to herein)
constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder and
supersedes all prior arrangements or understandings with respect
thereto, written or oral. Nothing in this Agreement expressed or
implied, is intended to confer upon any Person, other than the
Parties or their respective successors, any rights, remedies,
obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this
Agreement, other than as provided in Sections 8.9(a) and
8.10.
E-53
11.5 Amendments.
To the extent permitted by Law, and subject to Section 1.4,
this Agreement may be amended by a subsequent writing signed by
each of the Parties upon the approval of each of the Parties,
whether before or after stockholder approval of this Agreement
has been obtained; provided that after any such approval
by the holders of TFC Common Stock, there shall be made no
amendment that reduces or modifies in any respect the
consideration to be received by holders of TFC Common Stock.
11.6 Waivers.
(a) Prior to or at the Effective Time, CBAC, acting through
its Board of Directors, chief executive officer or other
authorized officer, shall have the right to waive any Default in
the performance of any term of this Agreement by TFC, to waive
or extend the time for the compliance or fulfillment by TFC of
any and all of its obligations under this Agreement, and to
waive any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations
of CBAC under this Agreement, except any condition which, if not
satisfied, would result in the violation of any Law. No such
waiver shall be effective unless in writing signed by a duly
authorized officer of CBAC.

any and all of its obligations under this Agreement, and to

of TFC under this Agreement, except any condition which, if not

waiver shall be effective unless in writing signed by a duly
authorized officer of TFC.
(c) The failure of any Party at any time or times to
require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner
affect the right of such Party at a later time to enforce the
same or any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver of any
condition or of the breach of any term contained in this
Agreement in one or more instances shall be deemed to be or
construed as a further or continuing waiver of such condition or
breach or a waiver of any other condition or of the breach of
any other term of this Agreement.

Except as expressly contemplated hereby, neither this Agreement
nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall

11.9 Governing Law.
Regardless of any conflict of law or choice of law principles
that might otherwise apply, the Parties agree that this
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in all respects in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the
jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Eastern District of
Richmond, Virginia, except to the extent that the laws of the
State of Delaware apply to the Merger. The Parties all expressly
agree and acknowledge that the Commonwealth of Virginia has a
reasonable relationship to the Parties
and/or this
Agreement.
11.10 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
11.11 Captions; Articles and Sections.
The captions contained in this Agreement are for reference
purposes only and are not part of this Agreement. Unless
otherwise indicated, all references to particular Articles or
Sections shall mean and refer to the referenced Articles and
Sections of this Agreement.
11.12 Interpretations.
Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein
shall be construed or resolved against any Party, whether under
any rule of construction or otherwise. No Party to this
Agreement shall be considered the draftsman. The Parties
acknowledge and agree that this Agreement has been reviewed,
negotiated, and accepted by
E-55
all Parties and their attorneys and shall be construed and
interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used
so as fairly to accomplish the purposes and intentions of all
Parties hereto.
11.13 Enforcement of Agreement.
The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in
the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement was not
performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise
breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of
this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state
having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy
to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
11.14 Severability.
Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or
unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the
remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting
the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions
of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of
this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision
shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.
11.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Other than as set forth in Section 8.10, no
officer, employee or other Person (other than the corporate
Parties to this Agreement) shall be or shall be deemed a third
party or other beneficiary of this Agreement, or shall have any
right or other entitlement in connection with any provision of
this Agreement or seek any remedy, or right or entitlement in
connection with this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement
constitutes or shall give rise to, or shall be deemed to
constitute or give rise to, an employee benefit or employee
benefit-related plan, program or other arrangement, a provision
of any such plan, program or other arrangement, or an amendment
of any such plan, program or other arrangement.
(b) If and to the extent any TFC Benefit Plan is sponsored
by TFC, CBAC may, by written direction issued prior to Closing,
require TFC to take all necessary or appropriate action to
terminate each such TFC Benefit Plan or cause the Bank to become
the sole sponsor of each such TFC Benefit Plan prior to Closing.
The intent of the preceding sentence is to permit CBAC to avoid
becoming a sponsor of any and all TFC Benefit Plans as a result
of the Merger.
11.16 Force Majeure.
Neither Party will be liable to the other Party by reason of
delay or non-performance under this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby if and so long, but only to the
extent, such delay or non-performance is caused by a Force
Majeure Event. If either Party is prevented from or delayed in
performing any of its obligations under this Agreement by a
Force Majeure Event, it will promptly, or as soon as reasonably
practicable, notify the other Party verbally (to be confirmed in
writing within five days of the inception of the delay) of the
occurrence of a Force Majeure Event and of delays or anticipated
delays in the performance of such Partys obligations. Such
Party will continue to use reasonable efforts to recommence
performance whenever and to whatever extent possible without
delay upon the resolution of the Force Majeure Event.
E-56
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has caused this
Agreement to be executed on its behalf by its duly authorized
officers as of the day and year first above written.

Item 20.
|
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
|
Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporate Law
(DGCL) provides, in general, that a corporation
shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation), because the person is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of any other enterprise.
Such indemnity may be against expenses (including
attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the person
acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and if, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, the person did not have reasonable cause to believe
the persons conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the
right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of any
other enterprise, against any expenses (including
attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the
person in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner
the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances
of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such
other court shall deem proper.
Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a
corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or
officer of the corporation against any liability asserted
against the person in any such capacity, or arising out of the
persons status as such, regardless of whether the
corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against
such liability under the provisions of the law.
Community Bankers certificate of incorporation limits the
liability of its directors to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law. Community Bankers certificate of
incorporation and bylaws also provide that Community Bankers
will indemnify and advance expenses to, to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL, any of our directors and officers,
against any and all costs, expenses or liabilities incurred by
them by reason of having been a director or officer.
The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of
Delaware law and Community Bankers certificate of
incorporation and bylaws dealing with indemnification of
directors and officers, and does not purport to be complete. It
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed
provisions of Section 145 of the DGCL and the certificate
of incorporation and bylaws of the registrant.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and
controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions or
otherwise, Community Bankers have been advised that in the
opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in
a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, Community
Bankers will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Financial Statement Schedules. |
Schedules are omitted because they are not required or are not
applicable, or the required information is shown in the
financial statements or notes thereto.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which it offers or sales
of securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the
II-3
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
Calculation of Registration Fee table in the
effective registration statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, treat each post-effective as a new
registration statement of the securities offered, and the
offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities that remain
unsold at the end of the offering.
(b) (1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes
as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the
securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus
which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or
party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of
Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering
prospectus will contain the information called for by the
applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by
persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the
information called for by the other Items of the applicable
form; and
(2) The registrant undertakes that every prospectus
(i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding
paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements
of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is used in
connection with an offering of securities subject to
Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the
registration statement and will not be used until such amendment
is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond
to requests for information that is incorporated by reference
into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13
of
Form S-4,
within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send
the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally
prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration
statement through the date of responding to the request.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply
by means of a post-effective amendment all information
concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired
involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in
the registration statement when it became effective.
(e) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the small
business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in
the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the small business
issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to
a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
