WHAT DO WE THINK MATTERS IN RUNNING A BANK AND A PUBLIC COMPANY?

AMONG OTHER THINGS, ACCURACY, TRANSPARENCY, AND PERHAPS AN OLD FASHIONED WORD, FORTHRIGHTNESS.

Let’s look at what Mr. Tiffany has said in his proxy materials, and then the facts.

He said “We do not want to sell the bank!”

In an email Mr. Tiffany sent on May 1, 2008 to ten individuals including board members and management, he stated, “The board some day may begin to see that the competitive advantage of being an independent community bank is no longer a reality for FBSS.”

In the first week of October 2008, Mr. Tiffany hosted a luncheon at his home inviting a number of local business people and former directors and further discussed his plans to arrange a sale of the Bank.

Soon thereafter, Mr. Tiffany paid a visit to a Senior Mid-Atlantic regional officer of PNC Bank and tried to convince him that a PNC acquisition of The Fauquier Bank would make good sense.

Finally, in a March 2009 conversation with a current director, Mr. Tiffany stated that he had numerous discussions with PNC about a possible acquisition of The Fauquier Bank.

He said “the Board saw fit” to increase the CEO’s total compensation by 73% from 2005 to 2008.

This data is wrong. When compared on the same basis, if you do not include “retirement valuation compensation” for 2008, which was not included in the SEC reporting requirements of 2005, the 2008 CEO compensation declined by 1%.

He said “company management has presided over extraordinary misalignment of pay and performance” and “we are fed up with bloated pay.”

In fact, when you apply today’s reporting rules to Mr. Tiffany’s own compensation, he was better compensated, or in his words, more bloated, over his last five years as CEO than our current CEO has been compensated for his last five years, despite the fact that during Mr. Tiffany’s tenure banks assets averaged only 2/3 of the bank’s current size, the stock price was a little over one-half the current average, and the total net income was substantially lower.

He compared non-employee director compensation to that of one competitor.

What he didn’t tell you is he chose a bank where one third of the board had only served for part of the year, and been paid for only part of the year. He also didn’t tell you The Fauquier Bank paid its directors about the same as these Northern Virginia banks: Access, Alliance, First National of Strasburg, Eagle Bank Corp (Bank of Clark County).

He said “the company’s Board rewarded itself by raising meeting fees 50% and increasing its annual retainer 60%,”

In fact, aggregate Board compensation increased from 2005 to 2008 by a little over 14%, during a period when Sarbanes-Oxley and economic challenges substantially increased the time spent by boards of directors.

He said, “Since the beginning of 2004, the CEO and the Board have been net sellers of company stock.”

What he didn’t say is he bought no shares of the bank during this period, and sold 20,000 shares as a sitting director.

He compared your bank’s growth with that of other banks.

What he didn’t explain was that those figures include mergers and acquisitions. During the period he cites, eleven Virginia banks were bought, adding $6.5 billion to the assets of other Virginia banks. This is not organic growth—this is buying assets and deposits, and we believe it makes this comparison useless for any analysis of a bank such as ours.

He said “In 2008— for the first time in four decades—shareholder equity declined.”

Yes it did—by less than 1%. He seems to have forgotten that it declined from 1993 to 1994 by 3%, when he was CEO and President.

He said “from 2006 to 2008, the rate of decline of earnings per share was greater than both the Virginia state public bank and national public bank medians.”

In fact, the median earnings for all Virginia banks traded on the NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, OTC Bulletin Board and the Pink Sheets were down by 70%, and those Virginia banks on only the NYSE, NASDAQ, and AMEX the medians earnings were down 60%. Our earnings were, on the other hand, down by only 34%.

Mr. Tiffany’s latest materials attribute the bank’s improved performance in the first half of this decade to himself, and the general economic decline since 2007 that has affected virtually all bank stocks to the bank’s present management. The fact he doesn’t tell you is that, coincidentally, the improvement in total return performance began during the bank’s management transition. Randy Ferrell, our CEO, and Eric Graap, our CFO and one of this year’s board nominees, began working together as a team in November 2000. The table below shows the facts — from November 2000 to the present, the Company’s total return increased by 124.4% compared to a total for all U.S. banks over that period of a negative 22.5%. It is also important to note that our bank declined 40% from June, 2006 through May 7, 2009, while the average of all banks declined 56% during the same time period, per SNL Financial LC.

We are concerned that the large number of errors noted above could influence you to support the dissidents, and we firmly believe that such support is not in your best interests, nor the Bank’s.

We have a proud tradition of integrity and service to our community, and we are faced with a group of opponent’s intent upon selling the bank. We ask for your support against Mr. Tiffany and his dissident group, allowing the bank to remain a locally owned, independent community resource dedicated to making your financial life easier.
