+Added: of 2023, compared to $100,000 for the first quarter of 2022.
+Added: Subsequent to adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023, based on management's

+Added: Non-interest income
+Added: increased $30,000 to $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 from $2.4 million for the comparable quarter in 2022.
+Added: driver of the increase was the sale of the former call center building in Bristol, Virginia, and a former branch office in Big Stone
+Added: Gap, Virginia, which resulted in a combined gain of $130,000.
+Added: This was offset by decreases in service charge income and card processing
+Added: fees totaling a combined $107,000 during the period.
+Added: Service charge income decreased due to changes made in 2022 in assessing certain

+Added: was impacted by increases in salaries and employee benefits as well as data processing and telecommunications expenses.
+Added: in salaries and employee benefits related to bonus accruals and performance raises, and benefits enhancements made during the first quarter
+Added: As previously reported, the Company approved a Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), effective February 27,

+Added: Total assets as of
+Added: March 31, 2023 were $793.6 million, an increase of $18.3 million, or 2.4%, from $775.4 million as of December 31, 2022.
+Added: Gross loans increased
+Added: $5.9 million, or 1.0%, during 2023, due to a moderate increase in loan demand, combined with less incentive for prepayments, by borrowers,
+Added: due to the higher interest rate environment.
+Added: Investment securities increased $646,000 during 2023 primarily due to a decrease of $2.7
+Added: million in the unrealized loss position offset by a decrease in mortgage-backed securities, agencies, and collateralized mortgage obligations
+Added: of $2.1 million, collectively, due to principal repayments of amortizing investments.
+Added: Gross loans increased
+Added: $5.9 million, or 1.0% during the first three months of 2023.
+Added: The increase is primarily related to multifamily and residential 1-4 family

−Removed: The reduction in interest expense on deposits was driven mainly by a reduction in the average cost of retail
−Removed: time deposits, which declined 23 basis points, to 0.75% from 0.98%, plus a decrease in average balances of $33.7 million.
−Removed: modest increase in interest income of $116 thousand due to increases to the investment portfolio and increased rates paid on deposits
−Removed: with other banks.
−Removed: These improvements offset reductions in loan interest and fees due principally to the reduction in fees from PPP loan
−Removed: repayments as these fees fell $1.6 million during the comparative nine-month periods.
−Removed: As a result, the net interest margin for the first
−Removed: nine months of 2022 was 3.53%, a reduction of 15 bps compared to 3.68% for the first nine months of 2021.
−Removed: the first nine months of 2022, the FOMC increased the discount rate five times for a total of 300 bps.
−Removed: This increased interest rate environment
−Removed: has improved returns on certain assets that immediately adjust as these changes are made, such as interest-bearing deposits in other
−Removed: banks, credit cards, home equity lines of credit and certain commercial and commercial real estate loans.
−Removed: It is anticipated that yields
−Removed: on these assets will improve moving forward.
−Removed: Conversely, it is expected that there will be a need to adjust, upward, rates paid on deposit
−Removed: accounts, which will increase our overall cost of funds.
−Removed: Additionally, in response to the June 2022 cybersecurity incident, during the
−Removed: third quarter of 2022, we began offering a customer appreciation time deposit product to recognize the patience and loyalty of our customers.
−Removed: This promotional product pays a higher rate than is currently offered on similar non-promotional products and is expected to contribute
−Removed: to an increased cost of funds going forward.
−Removed: on our current assessment of the loan portfolio, $400 thousand was provided to the allowance for loan losses during the first nine months
−Removed: of 2022 compared to $372 thousand provided during the same period in 2021.
−Removed: For more information on the factors affecting the allowance
−Removed: for loan losses, including provision expense, refer to Note 7, Allowance for loan Losses, in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
−Removed: Depending on changes
−Removed: to economic conditions and the impact those changes may have on individual borrowers, it is possible that additional provisions may be
−Removed: needed beyond those necessary to support organic growth of the loan portfolio.
−Removed: noninterest income decreased $571,000 for the first nine months of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, to $6.9 million.
−Removed: on the sale of investment securities and a gain on the sale of bank premises in 2021 account for $322,000 and $190,000, respectively,
−Removed: of the decrease, as those earnings were not replicated in 2022.
−Removed: Additionally, a BOLI adjustment of $100,000 was recorded in 2022, as
−Removed: previously discussed.
−Removed: Aside from these individual events, financial services and secondary market mortgage lending activities were impacted
−Removed: by the cybersecurity event and the rising interest rate environment, showing year-over-year revenue declines of $74,000 and $116,000,
−Removed: respectively.
−Removed: These declines were offset by increased service charge revenue which increased $299,000, despite a period during the cybersecurity
−Removed: event where service charges were waived for all accounts.
−Removed: the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, total noninterest expense decreased $1.4 million to $19.7
−Removed: million, primarily due to a $1.4 million decrease in occupancy and equipment expense that was driven nearly entirely by the $1.1 million
−Removed: in losses on three former branch office locations discussed above, which were transferred into other real estate owned in 2021, partially
−Removed: offset by a similar $195,000 charge recorded in 2022.
−Removed: Due to the reduction in the number of branch office locations, year-over-year depreciation
−Removed: expense decreased $286,000.
−Removed: Salaries and benefits increased $530,000, or 5.6%, to $9.9 million for the comparative nine-month period
−Removed: of 2022 versus 2021, as salary adjustments, accruals for performance bonus and profit sharing programs, along with costs for new or amended
−Removed: benefits, accounted for approximately $485,000 of the increase, along with approximately $89,000 of employee appreciation bonus payments,
−Removed: made to all employees, as a result of their efforts in addressing the cybersecurity incident.
−Removed: taxes increased $291,000, or 21.5%, to $1.6 million, which generally correlates to the increase in pretax earnings.
−Removed: efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, improved to 71.4% for the first nine months of 2022 from 77.6.% for the same period of 2021.
−Removed: assets increased $33.9 million, or 4.3%, to $828.6 million at September 30, 2022 from $794.6 million at December 31, 2021.
−Removed: was primarily driven by the FHLB advances, now totaling $25.0 million, and total deposits which increased $16.4 million, as noninterest-bearing
−Removed: deposits increased $17.8 million while interest-bearing deposits decreased $1.4 million.
−Removed: The year-to-date deposit activity is due to
−Removed: a combination of factors including customer reaction to the cybersecurity incident, time deposit customers seeking higher interest rates
−Removed: and actions taken by customers at the two branch locations closed in August 2022.
−Removed: The FHLB advance funds were transferred to interest
−Removed: bearing deposits with other banks which increased $51.6 million year-to-date.
−Removed: investments decreased $8.5 million, or 7.9%, to $98.8 million at September 30, 2022 due primarily to an increase of $16.4 million in
−Removed: net unrealized losses and $11.5 million of repayments and maturities, which more than offset purchases of $19.8 million.
−Removed: Future purchases
−Removed: of investment securities will depend on a number of factors, including changes in loans and deposits, liquidity needs and the results
−Removed: of the Company’s interest rate risk modeling.
−Removed: decreased $13.9 million, or 2.3% during the first nine months of 2022.
−Removed: Commercial real estate and multifamily loans decreased $8.1 million
−Removed: or 3.9% and $4.0 million or 12.1% to $198.1 million and $29.1 million, respectively at September 30, 2022, as several large commercial
−Removed: loan borrowers liquidated their holdings in projects we financed and repaid the corresponding loans.
−Removed: These repayments were partially
−Removed: offset by increases in construction and development loans, and residential real estate which increased $6.3 million, or 19.4%, and $2.2
−Removed: million, or 1.0%, respectively.
−Removed: Commercial loans decreased $9.2 million or 16.9% to $45.1 million at September 30, 2022, due largely
−Removed: to repayments and forgiveness of PPP loans which declined $6.1 million during the first nine months of 2022.
−Removed: At September 30, 2022, PPP
−Removed: loans totaled $298 thousand and no longer represent a significant component of our loan portfolio.
−Removed: Loan originations, specifically commercial
−Removed: real estate and multi-family loans, continue to be positively impacted by our Boone, NC, loan production office, as well as originations
−Removed: in the Kingsport and Johnson City, Tennessee markets.
−Removed: deposits increased $16.4 million, or 2.3%, to $723.9 million at September 30, 2022 from $707.5 million at December 31, 2021, as noninterest
−Removed: bearing deposits increased $17.8 million, or 7.1%.
−Removed: The increase in noninterest bearing deposits more than offset a decrease in interest
−Removed: bearing deposits which declined $1.4 million, or 0.3% during the first nine months of 2022.
−Removed: Despite the net increase in deposits, we
−Removed: experienced some deposit runoff in response to the cybersecurity incident.
−Removed: Additionally, other factors also influenced customers’
−Removed: deposit activities, including interest rates available for time deposits and the closure of two branch offices in August 2022.
−Removed: the closure of the two branch offices, runoff of accounts from those offices has been minimal, totaling approximately $555 thousand through
−Removed: September 30, 2022.
−Removed: Additionally, some of this deposit activity is due to normal churn of deposit accounts and depositors.
−Removed: Specifically,
−Removed: time deposit runoff totaled $16.6 million, or 8.4%, during the first nine months of 2022.
−Removed: The decrease in time deposits was offset by
−Removed: increases in non-interest bearing and interest-bearing transaction accounts which increased $17.8 million, or 7.1%, and $15.3 million,
−Removed: or 5.9%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
−Removed: Another factor influencing deposit retention is the dissipation of liquidity
−Removed: experienced by depositors, as stimulus and other economic support funds distributed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic are spent
−Removed: or otherwise distributed.
−Removed: While it is likely that recent and expected increases to the federal funds rate will, at some point, impact
−Removed: liquidity, we continue to maintain core deposits through attractive consumer and commercial deposit products and strong ties with our
−Removed: customer base and communities.
−Removed: September 30, 2022, FHLB advances totaling $25 million were outstanding.
−Removed: As previously discussed, overnight and term advances totaling
−Removed: $95 million were taken in June 2022, as a precautionary measure related to the cybersecurity incident with $60 million outstanding as
−Removed: of June 30, 2022.
−Removed: During the third quarter of 2022, an advance totaling $20.0 million matured and was repaid, and a $15.0 million partial
−Removed: prepayment was made on the remaining $40.0 million advance which matures in December 2022.
−Removed: We anticipate repaying the $25.0 million outstanding
−Removed: advance at maturity.
−Removed: Trust preferred securities of $16.5 million at September 30, 2022 were unchanged compared to December 31, 2021.
−Removed: equity at September 30, 2022 was $55.2 million, a decrease of $8.4 million, or 13.2%, compared to $63.6 million at December 31, 2021.
−Removed: As discussed previously and in the Capital Resources section below, the primary driver of the decline was the $12.9 million net increase
−Removed: in the accumulated other comprehensive loss, related to the unrealized loss on available for sale investment securities, along with a
−Removed: cash dividend payment and repurchases of common shares.
−Removed: The increase in other accumulated comprehensive loss is related to the recent
−Removed: increase in interest rates and is not related to any deterioration in the credit quality of any investment securities held.
−Removed: Nonperforming
−Removed: assets include nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned (OREO) and loans past due more than 90 days which are still accruing interest.
−Removed: Our policy is to place loans on nonaccrual status once they reach 90 days past due.
+Added: of $16.5 million at March 31, 2023 were unchanged compared to December 31, 2022.
+Added: Total equity as of
+Added: March 31, 2023 was $59.7 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 4.3%, compared to $57.2 million as of December 31, 2022.
+Added: previously and in the Capital Resources section below, the primary driver of the increase was related to the decrease of $2.1 million
+Added: in the net unrealized loss on available-for-sale investment securities combined with the quarter-to-date earnings of $2.0 million, offset
+Added: by a cash dividend payment of $1.4 million, and the repurchase of common stock totaling $46,000.
+Added: Additionally, the implementation of
+Added: the CECL methodology, resulted in a onetime net of tax, direct charge to retained earnings of $212,000.
+Added: Asset Quality
+Added: Nonperforming assets
+Added: include nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned (OREO) and loans past due more than 90 days which are still accruing interest.
+Added: policy is to place loans on nonaccrual status once they reach 90 days past due.
The makeup of the nonaccrual loans is primarily those
secured by residential mortgages and commercial real estate.
−Removed: OREO is primarily made up of farmland and residential lots.
−Removed: Nonperforming
−Removed: assets decreased $275 thousand, or 6.4%, during the first nine months of 2022, driven by a decrease in OREO of $1.0 million, which offset
−Removed: an increase in nonaccrual loans of $765 thousand.
−Removed: The increase in nonaccrual loans is attributed to a single credit for a commercial
−Removed: construction loan.
−Removed: This account has been assessed as part of our determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, and
−Removed: collection efforts are ongoing.
+Added: OREO is primarily made up of residential and commercial lots.
+Added: Nonperforming assets
+Added: decreased $586,000, or 15.9%, during the first three months of 2023, driven by a decrease of $586,000 in nonaccrual loans.
+Added: in nonaccrual loans is attributed to a general improvement in the performance of nonaccrual loans, resulting in several accounts being
+Added: returned to accruing status.
No loans 90 days or more past due are accruing interest.
As a result, the ratio of nonperforming assets
−Removed: to total assets decreased to 0.49% at September 30, 2022 compared to 0.54% at December 31, 2021.
−Removed: September 30, 2022, OREO is primarily made up of farmland and land acquired through foreclosure.
−Removed: During 2022, two former branch sites
−Removed: that had been transferred to OREO in 2021, were sold bringing our OREO balance down to $321 thousand.
−Removed: We continue extensive and aggressive
−Removed: measures to work through problem credits and liquidate foreclosed properties in an effort to reduce nonperforming assets.
−Removed: We remain mindful
−Removed: of the impact on earnings and capital as we work to achieve our goal to reduce nonperforming assets.
−Removed: However, we may recognize some losses
−Removed: and reductions in the allowance for loan loss as we expedite the resolution of these problem assets.

+Added: It remained consistent with a balance of $261,000
+Added: as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
+Added: Expenses associated with OREO were $6,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared
+Added: to $130,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, due to costs associated with the sale of other real estate owned during the first
