TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS:
In reviewing the annual report letter written one year ago, it is interesting to note the following comments: “Based upon weakness in the economy and the Federal Reserve’s lowering of interest rates in an attempt to stimulate the economy, we anticipate that 2008 will be a challenging year for us from the standpoint of both asset quality and earnings.” “We will manage through this environment but may incur some set- backs along the way.”
How prophetic those comments turned out to be, yet it is hard to imagine that many people could have visualized in February 2008 the full extent of the economic and financial downturn that we are currently experiencing. These are clearly historic times in which we are now operating, emanating from a bursting of the housing bubble leading to a devaluing of mortgage related assets which has resulted in the demise of a number of financial companies with household names.
2008 was certainly an ideal time to be delivering the message of stability and strength associated with a company celebrating its 100thanniversary and we have sought every opportunity to promote First National Bank in this light. First National Bank is in fact strong and stable and continues to be well capitalized. The setback we have incurred is a decline in our earnings in 2008 and an expectation that 2009 earnings will also be negatively impacted as there are currently no signs of change in factors that could result in a return to historical earning levels.
Net income for 2008 was $306,000 following record high earnings of $2,600,000 for 2007. The most obvious impact on net income for 2008 was a provision for loan losses of $2,881,000 compared with a provision of $462,000 for 2007. $2,338,000 of the 2008 provision occurred in the fourth quarter as evidence of non-performing loans became more apparent. With a decline in credit quality trends, we have utilized the current environment as an opportunity to boost our loan loss reserve to a level more reflective of peer averages. Less obvious, but also having a dramatic impact on earnings, was a decline in net interest margin from 4.02% for 2007 to 3.60% for 2008. Net interest margin for the month of December, 2008 was 3.22% compared with 3.98% for the month of December, 2007. The effect of the lower net interest margin in 2008 on net income was somewhat mitigated by higher loan volume.
Balance sheet growth continued to be strong in 2008 as total assets rose by 14.77% to $321,243,000, deposits grew 14.04% to $287,233,000 and net loans increased 19.96% to $279,199,000.
Stockholders’ equity was $24,919,000 at year-end 2008, a decline of 7.07% from year-end 2007. The decrease in total stockholders’ equity was driven by a dividend payout which exceeded net income and by an after tax unrealized loss of $1,397,000 resulting from a decline in value of the Company’s defined benefit retirement plan assets. This loss is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and does not flow through the Company’s income statement.
After thirty-one consecutive years of an increase in the cash dividend rate, the cash dividend rate for 2008 remained the same as for 2007 at $0.60 per share. As you know by now, the quarterly cash dividend declared in January, 2009 and paid in February, 2009 was reduced from $0.15 per share to $0.10 per share.
4
The Company utilized lines of credit in 2008 for liquidity and capital purposes. A line of credit for liquidity purposes in the amount of $17,000,000 with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta was utilized in the amount of $15,000,000 in the second quarter of 2008. The balance outstanding on this line as of December 31, 2008 was $5,000,000. As of this writing, the line is unfunded. In the fourth quarter of 2008, Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation established a line of credit with Community Bankers Bank, Richmond, in the amount of $5,000,000 for the purpose of injecting capital into First National Bank. This line of credit was funded at $1,000,000 as of December 31, 2008 and continues to be funded at that level currently. Both of these lines of credit will assist with managing the continued growth of the Company.
In November, 2008, Mr. Thomas F. Hall was appointed to the Boards of Directors of both Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation and First National Bank. Mr. Hall is a long time resident of Amherst County and proven business leader in Region 2000. He is a positive addition to our boards and the Company will benefit from his leadership and representation of the Amherst County market. Mr. Hall’s continuing service on the Pinnacle Bankshares board is subject to his election at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
On January 19, 2009, First National Bank lost a friend and colleague, Deborah D. Howell, to cancer at the age of forty-one. Deborah was an acknowledged authority on mortgage loan processing and had been an integral part of the bank family for the last four years. Deborah exhibited a positive attitude and never backed down from a challenge. In the end, cancer was one of the few challenges she could not overcome. In addition to her bank family, she leaves behind her parents, husband and two young sons. We miss Deborah and dedicate this annual report to her memory.
As we move forward in 2009, our focus is on monitoring and managing credit quality, while at the same time continuing to accommodate the legitimate credit needs of our established consumer and business customers. We are pleased to have opened our newest branch office in Rustburg last month and look forward to the positive contributions this office will make to our performance in the future. Please stop by for a visit.
Your support as shareholders, customers and friends during this challenging period in history has never been more important and for your support we are most appreciative. We invite you to join us for our Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 11:30 a.m., Tuesday, April 14, 2009 in the Fellowship Hall of Altavista Presbyterian Church, 707 Broad Street, Altavista, Virginia.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(in thousands, except ratios, share and per share data)
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to the historical information contained herein, this Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, and expectations of management, are generally identifiable by use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “may,” “will” or similar expressions. Although we believe our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions, or expectations will be achieved. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain, and actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates; declining collateral values; general economic conditions including continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions and in the financial markets; deterioration in the value of securities held in our investment securities portfolio; the legislative/regulatory climate; monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the impact of any policies or programs implemented pursuant to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the EESA) and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the ARRA); the quality or composition of the loan and/or investment portfolios; demand for loan products; deposit flows; competition; demand for financial services in our market area; and accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements contained herein. We base our forward-looking statements on management’s beliefs and assumptions based on information available as of the date of this report. You should not place undue reliance on such statements, because the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and projections about future events on which they are based may, and often do, differ materially from actual results. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect developments occurring after the statement is made.
In addition, while we have not experienced a major increase in loan losses during the current economic climate, a continuation of the recent turbulence in significant portions of the global financial markets, particularly if it worsens, could impact our performance, both directly by affecting our revenues and the value of our assets and liabilities, and indirectly by affecting our counterparties and the economy generally. Dramatic declines in the housing market in the past year have resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions in the United States. Concerns about the stability of the U.S. financial markets generally have reduced the availability of funding to certain financial institutions, leading to a tightening of credit, reduction of business activity, and increased market volatility. There can be no assurance that the EESA, the ARRA or the actions taken by the U.S. Treasury thereunder will stabilize the U.S. financial system or alleviate the industry or economic factors that may adversely affect our business. In addition, our business and financial performance could be impacted as the financial industry restructures in the current environment, both by changes in the creditworthiness and performance of our counterparties and by changes in the competitive landscape.
Company Overview
Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation, a Virginia corporation (Bankshares), was organized in 1997 and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Bankshares is headquartered in Altavista, Virginia. Bankshares conducts all of its business activities through the branch offices of its wholly owned subsidiary bank, First National Bank (the Bank). Bankshares exists primarily for the purpose of holding the stock of its subsidiary, the Bank, and of such other subsidiaries as it may acquire or establish.
7
First National Bank currently maintains a total of nine offices to serve its customers. The Main Office and Vista Branch are located in the Town of Altavista, the Airport Branch and Timberlake Branch in Campbell County, the Old Forest Road Branch in the City of Lynchburg, the Forest Branch in Bedford County, the Amherst Branch in the Town of Amherst, the Rustburg Branch in the Town of Rustburg and a Loan Production Office in Franklin County at Smith Mountain Lake.

A total of one-hundred seventeen full and part-time staff members serve the Bank’s customers.
With an emphasis on personal service, the Bank today offers a broad range of commercial and retail banking products and services including checking, savings and time deposits, individual retirement accounts, merchant bankcard processing, residential and commercial mortgages, home equity loans, consumer installment loans, agricultural loans, investment loans, small business loans, commercial lines of credit and letters of credit.

The Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: FNB Property Corp., which holds title to Bank premises real estate; and First Properties, Inc., which holds title to other real estate owned from foreclosures.
The following discussion supplements and provides information about the major components of the results of operations and financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of Bankshares and its subsidiary (collectively the Company). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Executive Summary
The Company serves a trade area consisting primarily of Campbell County, northern Pittsylvania County, eastern Bedford County, northern Franklin County, Amherst County and the city of Lynchburg from facilities located in the town of Altavista and the city of Lynchburg, Virginia. The Bank replaced its temporary Amherst facility with a permanent Amherst facility on South Main Street in Amherst in March 2008. In February 2009, the Company opened the Rustburg facility located on Village Highway in the Rustburg Marketplace Shopping Center. This opening will further increase our presence in Campbell County. The Company operates in a well-diversified industrial economic region that does not depend upon one or a few types of commerce.
The Company earns revenues on the interest margin between the interest it charges on loans it extends to customers and interest received on the Company’s securities portfolio net of the interest it pays on deposits to customers. The Company also earns revenues on service charges on deposit and loan products, gains on securities that are called or sold, fees from origination of mortgages, and other noninterest income items including but not limited to overdraft fees, commissions from investment, insurance and annuity sales, safe deposit box rentals, and automated teller machine surcharges. The Company experienced a large decline in income in 2008 as the Company incurred a large increase in the allowance for loan losses in the 4th quarter of 2008. Net income was also affected by decreases in net interest margin and increases in noninterest expense due to the overall growth of the Company. The Company’s revenue generating activities and related expenses are outlined in the consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income and accompanying notes and in “Results of Operations” below.
The Company generates cash through its operating, investing and financing activities. The generation of cash flows is outlined more fully in the consolidated statements of cash flows and accompanying notes and in “Liquidity and Asset/Liability Management” below.
The Company’s balance sheet experienced strong growth in its loan and deposit portfolios in 2008 assisted by growth in the residential loan portfolio and continued deposit and loan growth at many of our branch facilities. The overall growth of the Company is outlined in the consolidated balance sheets and accompanying notes and the “Investment Portfolio,” “Loan Portfolio,” “Bank Premises and Equipment,” “Deposits” and “Capital Resources” discussions below.
8
The Company expects its growth rate to decrease in 2009, although we will continue to research further expansion opportunities while monitoring our capital ratios. The Company will look to promote community banking in our newer Amherst and Rustburg locations by building relationships with businesses and individuals within each market. While growing, the Company is continually striving to leverage efficiencies from our reporting and imaging systems. The Company is also striving to make our customers’ lives more convenient by offering innovative products and services and providing many channels to bank with us including Internet banking, Internet bill pay, telephone banking, debit cards and real-time ATMs. The Company will continue to strive to identify and install convenient products and services in 2009 with the goal to better enhance the customer’s experience with the Company.
Overview of 2008 and 2007
Total assets at December 31, 2008 were $321,243, up 14.77% from $279,913 at December 31, 2007. The principal components of the Company’s assets at the end of the year were $15,926 in cash and cash equivalents, $13,931 in securities and $279,199 in net loans. During the year ended December 31, 2008, gross loans increased 20.76% or $48,721. The Company’s lending activities are a principal source of income. Loan growth increased in 2008 as the Company experienced strong growth in loans secured by real estate. The Company also added two new lenders which accounted for approximately $24,000 in new loans. The Company also opened a new facility in Amherst which accounted for an additional $4,000 in new loans.
Total liabilities at December 31, 2008 were $296,324, up 17.08% from $253,097 at December 31, 2007, with the increase reflective of an increase in total deposits of $35,367 or 14.04%. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $487 or 1.79% and represented 9.65% of total deposits at December 31, 2008, compared to 10.82% at December 31, 2007. Savings and NOW accounts increased $12,962 or 17.31% and represented 30.58% of total deposits at December 31, 2008, compared to 29.73% at December 31, 2007. Time deposits increased $21,918 or 14.64% at December 31, 2008 and represented 59.77% of total deposits at December 31, 2008, compared to 59.45% at December 31, 2007. The Company’s deposits are provided by individuals and businesses located within the communities served. The Company had no brokered deposits as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Total stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2008 was $24,919 including $21,102 in retained earnings. At December 31, 2007, stockholders’ equity totaled $26,816 including $21,685 in retained earnings. The decrease in stockholders’ equity resulted mainly from an after tax unrealized loss of $1,396 incurred by the Company’s retirement plan. This unrealized loss is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The Company had net income of $306 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to net income of $2,600 for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of 88.23%. The Company’s net income decreased primarily due to an increase in provision for loan loss expense of $2,419 in 2008 compared to 2007 as classified and nonperforming loans increased in the second half of 2008. The decrease in net income was also due to the increase in noninterest expense due to the effect of the overall growth of the company on personnel expenses and fixed assets. 2008 net income was also affected by the 400 basis point decrease in the prime and federal fund rates during 2008 as interest-earning assets repriced faster than interest-bearing liabilities.
Profitability as measured by the Company’s return on average assets (ROA) was 0.10% in 2008, compared to 0.97% in 2007. Return on average equity (ROE), was 1.14% for 2008, compared to 10.17% for 2007.
Overview of 2007 and 2006
Total assets at December 31, 2007 were $279,913, up 9.16% from $256,421 at December 31, 2006. The principal components of the Company’s assets at the end of the year were $18,344 in cash and cash equivalents, $19,635 in securities and $232,752 in net loans. During the year ended December 31, 2007, gross loans increased 11.83% or $24,818. The Company’s lending activities are a principal source of income.

Results of Operations
Net Interest Income. Net interest income represents the principal source of earnings for the Company. Net interest income is the amount by which interest and fees generated from loans, securities and other interest-earning assets exceed the interest expense associated with funding those assets. Changes in the amounts and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as their respective yields and rates, have a significant impact on the level of net interest income. Changes in the interest rate environment and the Company’s cost of funds also affect net interest income.
The net interest spread decreased to 3.11% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from 3.44% for the year ended December 31, 2007. Net interest income was $10,209 ($10,328 on a tax-equivalent basis) for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $10,181 ($10,345 on a tax-equivalent basis) for the year ended December 31, 2007, and is attributable to interest income from loans, federal funds sold and securities exceeding the cost associated with interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. In 2008, our loans repriced at lower rates more rapidly than did our deposits in the declining rate environment, causing our interest rate spread to decrease. The Bank’s yield on interest-earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2008 was seventy basis points lower than the year ended December 31, 2007 due to higher yielding assets being replaced by lower yielding ones in 2008 and repricing of existing assets. The Bank’s cost of funds rate on interest-bearing liabilities in 2008 was thirty-seven basis points lower compared to 2007.
The net interest spread decreased to 3.44% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from 3.56% for the year ended December 31, 2006. Net interest income was $10,181 ($10,345 on a tax-equivalent basis) for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $9,192 ($9,334 on a tax-equivalent basis) for the year ended December 31, 2006, and is attributable to interest income from loans, federal funds sold and securities exceeding the cost associated with interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. In 2007, our loans repriced at higher rates less rapidly than did our deposits, causing our interest rate spread to decrease. The Bank’s yield on interest-earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2007 was thirty-four basis points higher than the year ended December 31, 2006 due to lower yielding assets being replaced by higher yielding ones in 2007. The Bank’s cost of funds rate on interest-bearing liabilities in 2007 was forty-six basis points higher compared to 2006.
In an effort to stimulate economic activity, the Federal Reserve pushed interest rates to exceptionally low levels and, as a result, the Company’s net interest margins have declined in 2008 compared to 2007. The Company attempts to conserve net interest margin by product pricing strategies. Many economic forecasts of interest rates predict that interest rates will remain at historically low levels for much of 2009. The Company expects its net interest margin to improve slightly in 2009 as interest-bearing liabilities reprice slightly faster than interest-earning assets. While there is no guarantee of how rates may change in 2009, the Company will strive to price
10
products that are competitive in the market, allow for growth and strive to maintain the net interest margin as much as possible. The Company also continues to strive to find new sources of noninterest income to combat the effects of volatility in the interest rate environment.
The following table presents the major categories of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and stockholders’ equity with corresponding average balances, related interest income or interest expense and resulting yield and rates for the periods indicated.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is based upon the Company’s evaluation of the quality of the loan portfolio, total outstanding and committed loans, previous loan losses and current and anticipated economic conditions. The amount of the provision for loan losses is a charge against earnings. Actual loan losses are charges against the allowance for loan losses.
The Company’s allowance for loan losses is typically maintained at a level deemed adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio. No assurance can be given that unforeseen adverse economic conditions or other circumstances will not result in increased provisions in the future. Additionally, regulatory examiners may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based upon their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.
The provisions for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $2,881, $462 and $339, respectively. The provision for loan losses increased substantially in 2008 as management recognized weaknesses in the loan portfolio due to declining economic conditions, declining collateral values and an increased risk of some customer’s ability to service their loans due to job losses. The Company saw an increase in its loans past due over 30 days as a percentage of its total loan portfolio from 2007 to 2008. Also, the Company’s nonperforming loans increased from $634 on December 31, 2007 to $2,292 on December 31, 2008.
12
The Company expects to continue to see weaknesses in its loan portfolio in 2009 and is working to minimize its losses from non-accrual and past due loans. See “Allowance for Loan Losses” for further discussion.
Noninterest Income.Total noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased $264 or 10.03% to $2,896 from $2,632 in 2007. The Company’s principal source of noninterest income is service charges and fees on deposit accounts, particularly transaction accounts, fees on sales of mortgage loans, and commissions and fees from investment, insurance, annuity and other bank products. The increase in 2008 is primarily attributable to an increase in service charges on deposits and loan accounts and mortgage loan fees. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $81, service charges on loan accounts increased $111 and mortgage loan fees increased $57 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to 2007.
Total noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased $132 or 5.28% to $2,632 from $2,500 in 2006. The increase in 2007 is primarily attributable to an increase in service charges on deposits accounts and commissions on products sales. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $55 and commissions on investment product sales increased $39 for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to 2006.
Noninterest Expense.Total noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased $1,322 or 15.51% to $9,846 from $8,524 in 2007. The increase in noninterest expense is attributable to the effect of overall growth of the Company on personnel expenses and fixed asset costs as the Company added key personnel at our Smith Mountain Lake loan production office and our new Rustburg facility. The Company has added eight new branches and a loan production facility to its operations since June 1999. Other expenses that contributed to the increase in other expense was a $28 increase in telephone expense, a $57 increase in loan fees paid, a $30 increase in training and education and a $18 increase in indirect loan chargebacks.
Total noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased $699 or 8.93% to $8,524 from $7,825 in 2006. The increase in noninterest expense is attributable to the effect of overall growth of the Company on personnel expenses and fixed asset costs as the Company opened its Amherst facility and added other key personnel. The $276 increase in other expense is primarily due to an $83 loss on the Company’s investment in Bankers Investments Group, LLC. In December 2007, Bankers Investments Group, LLC, in which the Bank is a member, entered into merger agreement with Infinex Financial Group. The merger was completed in March 2008. Based upon the approved terms of the merger, the Bank recognized a permanent impairment loss of $83 in its investment in Bankers Investments Group, LLC in December 2007. Other expenses that contributed to the increase in other expense was a $48 expense associated with the sale of a charged-off property in December 2007, a $22 increase in telephone expense, a $13 increase in legal fees and a $22 increase in indirect loan chargebacks.
Income Tax Expense. Applicable income taxes on 2008 earnings amounted to $72, resulting in an effective tax rate of 19.05% compared to $1,227, or 32.06% in 2007. The effective tax rate for 2008 is a function of the lower net income earned and the effects of interest earned on tax-exempt loans.
Applicable income taxes on 2007 earnings amounted to $1,227, resulting in an effective tax rate of 32.06% compared to $1,116, or 31.63% in 2006. The effective tax rate for 2007 is higher primarily because the level of tax-exempt interest income for 2007 was lower compared to 2006.
Liquidity and Asset/Liability Management
Effective asset/liability management includes maintaining adequate liquidity and minimizing the impact of future interest rate changes on net interest income. The responsibility for monitoring the Company’s liquidity and the sensitivity of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities lies with the Investment Committee of the Bank which meets at least quarterly to review liquidity and the adequacy of funding sources.
Cash Flows. The Company derives cash flows from its operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flows of the Company are primarily used to fund loans and purchase securities and are provided by the deposits and borrowings of the Company.
13
The Company’s operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 resulted in net cash provided from operating activities of $2,968 compared to net cash provided from operating activities of $3,773 in 2007. The decrease is primarily attributable to the cash paid for noninterest expenses of $9,687. This was $1,940 higher than 2007 due to higher personnel expenses and fixed asset costs in 2008. Also, the Company’s cash paid for income taxes totaled $1,087 in 2008 compared to $1,019 in 2007. Partially offsetting this was cash received from net interest income of $10,309, which was $125 higher than the net interest received in 2007 as a result of an increase in loan volume and interest received of $387 and cash received from noninterest income in 2008 that was $1,081 higher than the noninterest income amount received in 2007. Management expects any future potential decreases in the Company’s cash provided by operating activities to be partially offset through continued expansion of the Company’s loan origination programs, changes in deposit pricing strategies and continued focus on improving the efficiency of the Company’s operations.
The Company’s cash flows from investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 resulted in net cash used of $45,864, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $20,332 in 2007. The increase is primarily attributable to a $24,209 increase in cash used to make loans to customers as the Company increased its gross loans by 20.76% from 2007 to 2008 as compared to 11.83% from 2006 to 2007. The Company experienced fewer paydowns and maturities of available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities. The Company expects a slightly lower volume of paydowns in available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities in 2009 due to fewer mortgage-backed securities in the investment portfolio.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $40,478, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $20,317 in 2007. The increase in net cash provided is primarily attributable to the higher net increase in deposits from 2007 to 2008 compared to 2006 to 2007. The Company had success in attracting all different types of deposits to fund the growth in the loan portfolio.
The Company’s operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 resulted in net cash provided of $3,773, compared to net cash provided from operating activities of $3,218 in 2006. The increase is primarily attributable to the Company’s cash received from net interest income of $10,184, which was $1,020 higher than the net interest received in 2006 as a result of an increase in loan volume and yield received of $2,210. Cash paid for noninterest expenses of $7,747 was $188 lower than 2006 primarily due to a lower pension contribution in 2007. Partially offsetting this was cash received from noninterest income in 2007 that was $71 lower than the noninterest income amount received in 2006. Also, the Company’s cash paid for income taxes totaled $1,019 in 2007 compared to $900 in 2006.
The Company’s cash flows from investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 resulted in net cash used of $20,332, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $23,135 in 2006. The decrease is primarily attributable to a $2,012 decrease in cash used to make loans to customers as the Company increased its gross loans by 11.83% from 2006 to 2007 as compared to 14.71% from 2005 to 2006. The Company expects to continue to increase its loan portfolio in 2008. The Company also experienced fewer paydowns and maturities of available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $20,317, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $20,689 in 2006. The decrease in net cash provided is primarily attributable to the lower net increase in deposits from 2006 to 2007 compared to 2005 to 2006. The Company had success in attracting all different types of deposits to fund the growth in the loan portfolio although the cost of the deposits increased in 2007.
Liquidity. Liquidity measures the ability of the Company to meet its maturing obligations and existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to fund its operations, and to provide for customers’ credit needs. Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds from alternative funding sources.
14
The Company’s liquidity is provided by cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, investments available-for-sale, managing investment maturities, interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions and loan repayments. The Company’s ratio of liquid assets to deposits and short-term borrowings was 9.16% as of December 31, 2008 as compared to 13.66% as of December 31, 2007. The Company sells excess funds as overnight federal funds sold to provide an immediate source of liquidity. Federal funds sold at December 31, 2008 was $9,178 as compared to $11,562 at December 31, 2007. The decrease in federal funds sold in 2008 was primarily related to the net increase in loans in 2008 and the related decrease in excess funds. Cash and due from banks of $6,748 as of December 31, 2008 was $34 lower when compared to December 31, 2007.
The level of deposits may fluctuate significantly due to seasonal business cycles of depository customers. Levels of deposits are also affected by convenience of branch locations and ATMs to the customer, the rates offered on interest-bearing deposits and the attractiveness of noninterest-bearing deposit offerings compared with the competition. Similarly, the level of demand for loans may vary significantly and at any given time may increase or decrease substantially. However, unlike the level of deposits, management has more direct control over lending activities and maintains the level of those activities according to the amounts of available funds. Loan demand may be affected by the overall health of the local economy, loan rates compared with the competition and other loan features offered by the Company.
As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and its ability to generate liquidity through alternative funding sources, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity that is sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and to meet customers’ credit needs. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include its capacity to borrow funds through correspondent banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank. The total amount available for borrowing to the Company for liquidity purposes was $60,365 on December 31, 2008.
The Company obtains sources of funds through growth in deposits, scheduled payments and prepayments from the loan and investment portfolio and retained earnings growth, and may purchase or borrow funds through the Federal Reserve’s discount window. The Company also has sources of liquidity through three correspondent banking relationships. The Company uses its funds to fund loan and investment growth. Excess funds are sold daily to other institutions. The Company had one borrowing with the Federal Home Loan Bank during 2008 with a principal balance of $15,000 with a variable interest rate. Principal payments in the amount of $10,000 were made in 2008 leaving a principal balance of $5,000 on December 31, 2008. The Company also has a $5,000 holding company line of credit with a corresponding bank for bank capital purposes with an outstanding balance of $1,000 on December 31, 2008.
Contractual Obligations
The Company has entered into certain contractual obligations including long-term debt and operating leases. The table does not include deposit liabilities entered into in the ordinary course of banking. Operating Leases include leases of our Amherst facility, Timberlake and Wyndhurst facilities. Also included are contractual leases for offsite ATMs and postage machinery. The following table summarizes the Company’s contractual obligations as of December 31, 2008.

Interest Rates
While no single measure can completely identify the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income, one gauge of interest rate sensitivity is to measure, over a variety of time periods, the differences in the amounts of the Company’s rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities. These differences or “gaps” provide an indication of the extent to which net interest income may be affected by future changes in interest rates. A “positive gap” exists when rate-sensitive assets exceed rate-sensitive liabilities and indicates that a greater volume of assets than liabilities will reprice during a given period. This mismatch may enhance earnings in a rising interest rate environment and may inhibit earnings in a declining interest rate environment. Conversely, when rate-sensitive liabilities exceed rate-sensitive assets, referred to as a “negative gap,” it indicates that a greater volume of liabilities than assets will reprice during the period. In this case, a rising interest rate environment may inhibit earnings and a declining interest rate environment may enhance earnings. The cumulative one-year gap as of December 31, 2008 was $(21,190), representing 6.58% of total assets. This negative gap falls within the parameters set by the Company.
The following table illustrates the Company’s interest rate sensitivity gap position at December 31, 2008.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | 1 year | | | 1-3 years | | 3-5 years | | 5-15 years |
ASSET/(LIABILITY): | | | | | | | | | | |
Cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap | | $ | (21,190 | ) | | 101 | | 9,142 | | 38,332 |
As of December 31, 2008, the Company was liability-sensitive in periods up to one year and was asset-sensitive beyond one year. The foregoing table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on the Company’s net interest yield, because the repricing of various categories of assets and liabilities is discretionary and is subject to competition and other pressures. As a result, various assets and liabilities indicated as repricing within the same period may in fact price at different times and at different rate levels. Management attempts to mitigate the impact of changing interest rates in several ways, one of which is to manage its interest rate-sensitivity gap. In addition to managing its asset/liability position, the Company has taken steps to mitigate the impact of changing interest rates by generating noninterest income through service charges, and offering products that are not interest rate-sensitive.
Effects of Inflation
The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically different from other industries as the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Interest rates are significantly impacted by inflation, but neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes is directly related to price level indices. Impacts of inflation on interest rates, loan demand and deposits are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Investment Portfolio
The Company’s investment portfolio is used primarily for investment income and secondarily for liquidity purposes. The Company invests funds not used for capital expenditures or lending purposes in securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies, mortgage-backed securities, and taxable and tax-exempt municipal bonds, corporate securities or certificates of deposit. Obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies include treasury notes and callable or noncallable agency bonds. The mortgage-backed securities include mortgage-backed security pools that are diverse as to interest rates. The Company has not invested in derivatives.
Investment securities available-for-sale as of December 31, 2008 totaled $11,426, a decrease of $4,034 or 26.09% from $15,460 as of December 31, 2007. Investment securities held-to-maturity decreased to $2,505 as of

December 31, 2008 from $4,175 as of December 31, 2007, a decrease of $1,670 or 40.00%. Securities decreased in 2008 as funds from maturities, calls and pay downs were used to fund loan growth.

Loan Portfolio
The Company’s net loans were $279,199 as of December 31, 2008, an increase of $46,447 or 19.96% from $232,752 as of December 31, 2007. This increase resulted primarily from increased volume of real estate loan originations during 2008 and loan volume from our loan production facility. The Company’s ratio of net loans to total deposits was 97.20% as of December 31, 2008 compared to 92.41% as of December 31, 2007.
Typically, the Company maintains a ratio of loans to deposits of between 80% and 100%. The loan portfolio primarily consists of commercial, real estate (including real estate term loans, construction loans and other loans secured by real estate), and loans to individuals for household, family and other consumer expenditures. However, the Company adjusts its mix of lending and the terms of its loan programs according to market conditions and other factors. The Company’s loans are typically made to businesses and individuals located within the Company’s market area, most of whom have account relationships with the Bank. There is no concentration of loans exceeding 10% of total loans that is not disclosed in the categories presented below. The Company has not made any loans to any foreign entities including governments, banks, businesses or individuals. Commercial and construction loans in the Company’s portfolio are primarily variable rate loans and have little interest rate risk.

Commercial Loans. Commercial and industrial loans accounted for 8.41% of the Company’s loan portfolio as of December 31, 2008 compared to 8.48% as of December 31, 2007. Such loans are generally made to provide operating lines of credit, to finance the purchase of inventory or equipment, and for other business purposes. Commercial loans are primarily made at rates that adjust with changes in the prevailing prime interest rate, are generally made for a maximum term of five years (unless they are term loans), and generally require interest payments to be made monthly. The creditworthiness of these borrowers is reviewed, analyzed and evaluated on a periodic basis. Most commercial loans are collateralized with business assets such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Even with substantial collateralization such as all of the assets of the business and personal guarantees, commercial lending involves considerable risk of loss in the event of a business downturn or failure of the business.
Real Estate Loans.Real estate loans accounted for 72.24% of the Company’s loan portfolio as of December 31, 2008 compared to 71.46% as of December 31, 2007. The Company makes commercial real estate term loans that are typically secured by a first deed of trust.
As of December 31, 2008, 57.54% of the real estate loans were secured by 1-4 family residential properties. Of these 1-4 family residential property loans, 11.17% were construction loans, 25.52% were home equity lines of credit, 56.47% were closed end loans secured by a first deed of trust and 6.84% were closed end loans secured by a second deed of trust.
As of December 31, 2008, 42.46% of the real estate loans were secured by commercial real estate. Of the total commercial real estate loans as of December 31, 2008, 27.76% were acquisition and development loans, 11.90% were secured by farmland, 6.45% were secured by multifamily properties, 38.75% were secured by owner occupied commercial real estate and 15.14% were secured by non-owner occupied commercial real estate.
Real estate lending involves risk elements when there is lack of timely payment and/or a decline in the value of the collateral. Real estate values declined in 2008 in the Company’s market. The Company has seen and is seeing evidence of some borrowers being strained in ability to service loans. This has resulted in a higher number of loan impairments in 2008 and may result in future impairments in 2009. The Company will continue to monitor the real estate market in 2009 for signs of continued weakness in the local market.
Installment Loans. Installment loans are represented by loans to individuals for household, family and other consumer expenditures. Installment loans accounted for 19.17% of the Company’s loan portfolio as of December 31, 2008 compared to 19.96% as of December 31, 2007.

Restructured Loans.The Company had no restructured loans at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Nonperforming Assets. Interest on loans is normally accrued from the date a disbursement is made and recognized as income as it is earned. Generally, the Company reviews any loan on which payment has not been made for 90 days for potential nonaccrual. The loan is examined and the collateral is reviewed to determine loss potential. If the loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any prior accrued interest that remains unpaid is reversed. Loans on nonaccrual status amounted to $2,292, $634 and $255 as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Interest income that would have been earned on non-accrual loans if they had been current in accordance with their original terms and the recorded interest that was included in income on these loans was not significant for 2008, 2007 or 2006. There were no commitments to lend additional funds to customers whose loans were on nonaccrual status at December 31, 2008. One foreclosed property totaling $300 was on hand as of December 31, 2008 compared to $0 as of December 31, 2007 or 2006.
The economic downturn in the second half of 2008 has led to an increase in the Company’s nonperforming assets. Some commercial borrowers have struggled to service their loans due to the increasingly difficult business climate, lower revenues, tightening of credit markets and difficulties in moving their product. Some noncommercial borrowers have experienced job losses and other economic challenges, as well. Nonperforming assets may increase in 2009 as the economy continues to struggle. The Company will continue to monitor the situation and take steps necessary to mitigate losses in its loan portfolio, such as increased early monitoring of its portfolio to identify “problem” credits and continued counseling of customers to discuss options available to them.
The following table presents information with respect to the Company’s nonperforming assets and nonaccruing loans 90 days or more past due by type as of the dates indicated.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses which it considers adequate to cover the risk of losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based upon management’s ongoing evaluation of the quality of the loan portfolio, total outstanding and committed loans, previous charges against the allowance and current and anticipated economic conditions. The allowance is also subject to regulatory examinations and determinations as to adequacy, which may take into account such factors as the methodology used to calculate the allowance. The Company’s management believes that as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the allowance was adequate. The amount of the provision for loan losses is a charge against earnings. Actual loan losses are charged against the allowance for loan losses.
Management evaluates the reasonableness of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and adjusts the provision as deemed necessary. As of December 31, 2008, the allowance for loan losses totaled $3,969 or 1.40% of total loans, net of unearned income and fees, compared to $1,720 or 0.73% of total loans, net of unearned income and fees, as of December 31, 2007. The provision for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $2,881 and $462, respectively. Net charge-offs for the Company were $632 and $512 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The ratio of net loan charge-offs during the period to average loans outstanding for the period was 0.24% and 0.23% for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The slowdown in the economy has impacted the ability of some borrowers to service debt and has negatively impacted the market value of real estate. A further decline in market value of real estate could lead to additional increase of our nonperforming loans if loan values start to exceed collateral values. At the end of 2008 the Company made a special provision in excess of $2,000 to the allowance for loan losses, over and beyond the regular monthly loss provision, after reviewing nonperforming and potential problem loans, the general economic climate and declining collateral values.
As of December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses totaled $1,720 or 0.73% of total loans, net of unearned income and fees compared to $1,770 or 0.84% of total loans, net of unearned income and fees as of December 31, 2006. The provision for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $462 and $339, respectively. Net charge-offs for the Company were $512 and $77 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The ratio of net loan charge-offs during the period to average loans outstanding for the period was 0.23% and 0.04% for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The following table presents charged off loans, provisions for loan losses, recoveries on loans previously charged off, allowance adjustments and the amount of the allowance for the years indicated.

The primary risk elements considered by management with respect to each installment and conventional real estate loan are lack of timely payment and the value of the collateral. The primary risk elements with respect to real estate construction loans are fluctuations in real estate values in the Company’s market areas, inaccurate estimates of construction costs, fluctuations in interest rates, the availability of conventional financing, the demand for housing in the Company’s market area and general economic conditions. The primary risk elements with respect to commercial loans are the financial condition of the borrower, general economic conditions in the Company’s market area, the sufficiency of collateral, the timeliness of payment and, with respect to adjustable rate loans, interest rate fluctuations. Management has a policy of requesting and reviewing annual financial statements from its commercial loan customers and periodically reviews the existence of collateral and its value. Management also has a reporting system that monitors all past due loans and has adopted policies to pursue its creditor’s rights in order to preserve the Company’s position.
Loans are charged against the allowance when, in management’s opinion, they are deemed uncollectible, although the Company continues to aggressively pursue collection. The Company considers a number of factors to determine the need for and timing of charge-offs including the following: whenever any commercial loan becomes past due for 120 days for any scheduled principal or interest payment; whenever foreclosure on real estate collateral or liquidation of other collateral does not result in full payment of the obligation and the deficiency or some portion thereof is deemed uncollectible, the uncollectible portion is charged-off; whenever any installment loan becomes past due for 120 days and collection is considered unlikely; whenever any repossessed vehicle remains unsold for 60 days after repossession; whenever a bankruptcy notice is received on any installment loan and review of the facts results in an assessment that all or most of the balance will not be collected, the loan will be placed in non-accrual status; whenever a bankruptcy notice is received on a small, unsecured, revolving installment account; and whenever any other small, unsecured, revolving installment account becomes past due for 180 days.
Although management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb losses as they arise, there can be no assurance that (i) the Company will not sustain losses in any given period which could be substantial in relation to the size of the allowance for loan losses, (ii) the Company’s level of nonperforming loans will not increase, (iii) the Company will not be required to make significant additional provisions to its allowance for loan losses, or (iv) the level of net charge-offs will not increase and possibly exceed applicable reserves.

The following table presents the allocation of the allowance for loan losses as of the dates indicated. Notwithstanding these allocations, the entire allowance for loan losses is available to absorb charge-offs in any category of loans.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
While consumer related charge-offs represent a majority of total charge-offs over the last three years, they are of a low dollar amount on an individual loan basis. Commercial loans on the other hand, though few in terms of the number of charge-offs over the past three years, have the potential to greatly impact the allowance if a particular loan defaults. The Bank’s loan review team uses the principles of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies and SFAS No. 114,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15, when determining the allowance for loan losses between loan categories. The determination of a loan category’s allowance is based on the probability of a loan’s default and the probability of loss in the event of a default.
Credit Risk Management
The risk of nonpayment of loans is an inherent aspect of commercial banking. The degree of perceived risk is taken into account in establishing the structure of, and interest rates and security for, specific loans and various types of loans. The Company strives to minimize its credit risk exposure by its credit underwriting standards and loan policies and procedures. Management continually evaluates the credit risks of its loans and believes it has provided adequately for the credit risks associated with these loans. The Company has implemented and expects to continue to implement and update new policies and procedures to maintain its credit risk management systems.
Bank Premises and Equipment
Bank premises and equipment increased 27.32% in 2008 compared to a decrease of 0.84% in 2007 due to fixed assets additions associated with new facilities partially offset by depreciation in 2008. The Company is leasing the Timberlake and Amherst branch facilities and the Smith Mountain Lake loan production office. In early 2008, the Company began leasing a building in the Wyndhurst section of Lynchburg for administrative and training purposes.

Deposits
Average deposits were $265,081 for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $23,510 or 9.73% from $241,571 of average deposits for the year ended December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2008, total deposits were $287,233 representing an increase of $35,367 or 14.04% from $251,866 in total deposits as of December 31, 2007. The change in deposits during 2008 was primarily due to changes in previously existing accounts and new accounts opened as a result of relationship changes, new locations, pricing and new products offered in 2008.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, average noninterest-bearing demand deposits were $25,169 or 9.49% of average deposits. For the year ended December 31, 2007, average noninterest-bearing demand deposits were $24,631 or 10.20% of average deposits. Average interest-bearing deposits were $239,912 for the year ended December 31, 2008, representing an increase of $22,972 or 10.59% over the $216,940 in average interest-bearing deposits for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The levels of noninterest-bearing demand deposits (including retail accounts) are influenced by such factors as customer service, service charges and the availability of banking services. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to maintain its current level of noninterest-bearing deposits. Competition from other banks and thrift institutions as well as money market funds, some of which offer interest rates substantially higher than the Company, makes it difficult for the Company to maintain the current level of noninterest-bearing deposits. Management continually works to implement pricing and marketing strategies designed to control the cost of interest-bearing deposits and to maintain a stable deposit mix.
The following table presents the Company’s average deposits and the average rate paid for each category of deposits for the periods indicated.

Capital Resources
The Company’s financial position at December 31, 2008 reflects liquidity and capital levels currently adequate to fund anticipated future business expansion. Capital ratios are in excess of required regulatory minimums for a “well-capitalized” institution. The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, and changing competitive conditions and economic forces. The adequacy of the Company’s capital is reviewed by management on an ongoing basis. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses.
The Company’s capital position continues to exceed regulatory requirements. The primary indicators relied on by bank regulators in measuring the capital position are the Tier 1 capital, total risk-based capital and leverage ratios. Tier 1 capital consists generally of common and qualifying preferred stockholders’ equity less goodwill. Total capital generally consists of Tier 1 capital, qualifying subordinated debt and a portion of the allowance for loan losses. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated with reference to risk-weighted assets. The Company’s Tier 1 capital ratio was 9.20% at December 31, 2008 and 10.55% at December 31, 2007. The total capital ratio was 10.45% at December 31, 2008 and 11.24% at December 31, 2007.
These ratios exceed the mandated minimum requirements of 4% and 8%, respectively. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company met all regulatory capital ratio requirements and was considered “well capitalized” in accordance with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act.
Stockholders’ equity was $24,919 at December 31, 2008 compared to $26,816 at December 31, 2007.
The leverage ratio consists of Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average assets. At December 31, 2008, the Company’s leverage ratio was 8.28% compared to 9.54% at December 31, 2007. Each of these exceeds the required minimum leverage ratio of 4%. The dividend payout ratio was 291.50% and 34.12% in 2008 and 2007,
25
respectively, with the decline due to the decrease in net income over the same period. The Company paid dividends of $0.60 per share in both 2008 and 2007.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company did not use any financial derivatives during 2008 and 2007. However, the Company has off-balance sheet arrangements that may have a material effect on the results of operations in the future. The Company, in the normal course of business, may at times be a party to financial instruments such as standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit as of December 31, 2008 equaled $427 compared with $875 as of December 31, 2007. Other commitments include commitments to lend money. Not all of these commitments will be acted upon; therefore, the cash requirements will likely be significantly less than the commitments themselves. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had unused loan commitments of $47,365 including $24,739 in unused commitments with an original maturity exceeding one year compared with $45,762 including $34,496 in unused commitments with an original maturity exceeding one year as of December 31, 2007. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s single most critical accounting policy relates to the Company’s allowance for loan losses, which reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s borrowers to make required loan payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s borrowers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, the Company’s estimates would be updated, and additional provisions for loan losses may be required. Further discussion of the estimates used in determining the allowance for loan losses is contained in the discussion on “Allowance for Loan Losses” on page 21 and “Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses” in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statements of Accounting Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(SFAS No. 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. Certain requirements of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The effective date for other requirements of SFAS No. 157 has been deferred for one year by the FASB. On January 1, 2008 the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, which has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 1(q) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Also in September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 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 No. 158).SFAS No. 158 and its impact on the Company are discussed in Note 1(j) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to elect to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value. An entity must report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date, and recognize upfront costs and fees related to those items in earnings as incurred and not on a deferred basis. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected must be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option can be applied instrument by instrument; however, the election is irrevocable. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008 had little financial impact
26
because the Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its financial assets or liabilities although fair value is used to state values of available-for- sale securities.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations. (SFAS No. 141R), which replaces SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations(SFAS No. 141) issued in 2001. Whereas its predecessor applied only to business combinations in which control was obtained by transferring consideration, the revised standard applies to all transactions or other events in which one entity obtains control over another. SFAS No. 141R defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control over one or more other businesses and defines the acquisition date as the date the acquirer achieves control. SFAS No. 141R requires the acquirer to recognize assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The revised standard changes the treatment of acquisition-related costs, restructuring costs related to an acquisition that the acquirer expects but is not obligated to incur, contingent consideration associated with the purchase price and pre-acquisition contingencies associated with acquired assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 141R retains the guidance in SFAS No. 141 for identifying and recognizing intangible assets apart from goodwill. The revised standard applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will apply the provisions of SFAS No. 141R to any business acquisition which occurs on or after the date the standard becomes effective.
Also in December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51(SFAS No. 160). This statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,Consolidated Financial Statements,to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 160 and assessing the impact it may have on the Company.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial condition, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 161 will impact disclosures only and will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 162). The new standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. It is effective November 15, 2008. The Company’s adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, or results of operations or cash flows.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) SFAS No. 157-3,Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active(FSP SFAS No. 157-3). The new FSP clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements,in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. This FSP was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The adoption of FSP SFAS No 157-3 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except ratios, share and per share data)
(1) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices |
Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation, a Virginia corporation (Bankshares), was organized in 1997 and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Bankshares is headquartered in Altavista, Virginia. Bankshares conducts all of its business activities through the branch offices of its wholly owned subsidiary bank, First National Bank (the Bank). Bankshares exists primarily for the purpose of holding the stock of its subsidiary, the Bank, and of such other subsidiaries as it may acquire or establish. The Company has a single reportable segment for purposes of segment reporting.
The accounting and reporting policies of Bankshares and its wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, the Company), conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry. The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies and practices:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bankshares and the Bank. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company classifies its securities in three categories: (1) debt securities that the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held-to-maturity securities” and reported at amortized cost; (2) debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as “trading securities” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in net income; and (3) debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities are classified as “available-for-sale securities” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from net income and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of deferred taxes. Fair value is determined from quoted prices obtained from FT (Financial Times) Interactive Data in cooperation with Compass Bank, the Company’s third—party bond accountant. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on a basis, which approximates the level yield method. The Bank does not maintain trading securities. Gains or losses on disposition are based on the net proceeds and adjusted carrying values of the securities called or sold, using the specific identification method on a trade date basis. If a decline below cost in the market value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security is deemed other than temporary, the decline is charged to net income resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.
As a member of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Atlanta, the Company is required to maintain certain minimum investments in the common stock of the FRB and FHLB, which are carried at cost. Required levels of investment are based upon the Company’s capital and a percentage of qualifying assets.
In addition, the Company is eligible to borrow from the FHLB with borrowings collateralized by qualifying assets, primarily residential mortgage loans, and the Bank’s capital stock investment in the FHLB.
33
At December 31, 2008, the Bank’s available borrowing limit with the FHLB was approximately $36,320. The Bank had $5,000 and $0 in borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The $5,000 is a daily variable rate note that matures in May of 2009.
Bankshares also has a $5,000 line of credit with a corresponding bank with $1,000 outstanding as of December 31, 2008 with a 5.00% interest rate that matures on December 31, 2011.
| (e) | Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses |
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned income and fees on loans, and an allowance for loan losses. Income is recognized over the terms of the loans using methods that approximate the level yield method. The allowance for loan losses is a cumulative valuation allowance consisting of an annual provision for loan losses, plus any amounts recovered on loans previously charged off, minus loans charged off. The provision for loan losses charged to operating expenses is the amount necessary in management’s judgment to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level it believes sufficient to cover losses in the collection of the Company’s loans. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based upon reviews of individual credits, recent loss experience, delinquencies, current economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of loans and other pertinent factors. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes the collectability of the principal is unlikely. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that management’s estimate of loan losses and the related allowance may change materially in the near term. However, the amount of change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.
Loans are charged against the allowance when, in management’s opinion, they are deemed uncollectible, although the Company continues to aggressively pursue collection. The Company considers a number of factors to determine the need for and timing of charge-offs including the following: whenever any commercial loan becomes past due for 120 days for any scheduled principal or interest payment and collection is considered unlikely; whenever foreclosure on real estate collateral or liquidation of other collateral does not result in full payment of the obligation and the deficiency or some portion thereof is deemed uncollectible, the uncollectible portion shall be charged-off; whenever any installment loan becomes past due for 120 days and collection is considered unlikely; whenever any repossessed vehicle remains unsold for 60 days after repossession; whenever a bankruptcy notice is received on any installment loan and review of the facts results in an assessment that all or most of the balance will not be collected, the loan will be placed in non-accrual status; whenever a bankruptcy notice is received on a small, unsecured, revolving installment account; and whenever any other small, unsecured, revolving installment account becomes past due for 180 days.
Interest related to non-accrual loans is recognized on the cash basis. Loans are generally placed in non-accrual status when the collection of principal and interest is 90 days or more past due, unless the obligation relates to a consumer or residential real estate loan or is both well-secured and in the process of collection.
Impaired loans are required to be presented in the financial statements at the present value of the expected future cash flows or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Homogeneous loans such as real estate mortgage loans, individual consumer loans and home equity loans are evaluated collectively for impairment. Management, considering current information and events regarding the
34
| | borrower’s ability to repay their obligations, considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the provision for loan losses. Cash receipts on impaired loans receivable are applied first to reduce interest on such loans to the extent of interest contractually due and any remaining amounts are applied to principal. |
| (f) | Loan Origination and Commitment Fees and Certain Related Direct Costs |
| | Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs charged by the Company are deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield. The Company amortizes these net amounts over the contractual life of the related loans or, in the case of demand loans, over the estimated life. Fees related to standby letters of credit are recognized over the commitment period. |
| (g) | Bank Premises and Equipment |
| | Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line and declining-balance methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciable lives include 15 years for land improvements, 40 years for buildings, and 3 to 7 years for equipment, furniture and fixtures. The cost of assets retired and sold and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are included in determining net income. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements and betterments are capitalized. |
| | Foreclosed properties consist of properties acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. These properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Losses from the acquisition of property in full or partial satisfaction of loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent write-downs, if any, are charged to expense. Gains and losses on the sales of foreclosed properties are included in determining net income in the year of the sale. |
| (i) | Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets |
| | The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used, such as bank premises and equipment, is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of, such as foreclosed properties, are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. |
| | The Company maintains a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, which covers substantially all of its employees. The net periodic pension expense includes a service cost component, interest on the projected benefit obligation, a component reflecting the actual return on plan assets, the effect of deferring and amortizing certain actuarial gains and losses, and the amortization of any unrecognized net transition obligation on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the plan. The Company’s funding policy is to make annual contributions in amounts necessary to satisfy the Internal Revenue Service’s funding standards, to the extent that they are tax deductible. |
35
| | In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) SFAS 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 No.158), which requires a business entity to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a single-employer defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. SFAS No. 158 also requires a business entity to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158 were adopted by the Company beginning with the year ended December 31, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the Company’s fiscal year end statement of position was adopted on December 31, 2008. |
| | The Company expenses advertising expenses as incurred. |
| | Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in net income in the period that includes the enactment date. |
| | 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 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. Deferred taxes are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. |
| | The Company accounts for its stock based compensation plan under the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R) Share Based Paymentwhich requires recognizing expense for options granted equal to the grant date fair value of the unvested amounts over their remaining vesting periods. There were no options granted in 2007 or 2008. Future levels of compensation cost recognized related to share-based |
36
| | compensation awards may be impacted by new awards and/or modification, repurchases and cancellations of existing awards after the adoption of this standard. |
| | Basic net income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. |

| | For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks (with original maturities of three months or less), and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. |
| | SFAS No. 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires the Company to classify items of “Other Comprehensive Income” (such as net unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities) by their nature in a financial statement and present the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. The Company’s other comprehensive income consists of net income, and net unrealized gains (losses) on securities available-for-sale, net of income taxes, and adjustments relating to its defined benefit plan, net of income taxes. |
| (q) | Fair Value Measurements |
| | Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157, which was issued in September 2006, establishes a framework for |
37
| | using fair value. It defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. |
| | In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The most significant instruments that the Company measures at fair value are available-for-sale securities. All instruments fall into Level 2 fair value hierarchy. Valuation methodologies for the fair value hierarchy are as follows: |
| | Level 1—Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. The Company has no Level 1 assets or liabilities on December 31, 2008. |
| | Level 2—Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources via independent providers for market transactions involving similar assets or liabilities. The Company’s principal market for these securities is the secondary institutional markets and valuations are based on observable market data in those markets. Level 2 securities include U.S. Government agency obligations, state and municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities and corporate debt obligations. |
| | Level 3—Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and are not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining fair value assigned to such assets and liabilities. The Company has no Level 3 assets or liabilities on December 31, 2008. |
| | The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. |
| | Available-for-sale Securities |
| | Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available, and would in such case be included as a Level 1 asset. The Company currently carries no Level 1 securities. If quoted prices are not available, valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources from independent providers for market transactions involving similar assets or liabilities. The Company’s principal market for these securities is the secondary institutional markets, and valuations are based on observable market data in those markets. These would be classified as Level 2 assets. The Company’s entire available-for-sale securities portfolio is classified as Level 2 securities. The Company currently carries no Level 3 securities for which fair value would be determined using unobservable inputs. |
| | The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 114,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of a similar debt, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans at which fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At December 31, 2008, substantially all of the impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with SFAS No. 157, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of the collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the |
38
| | fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as a nonrecurring Level 2 asset. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as a nonrecurring Level 3 asset. Impaired loans totaled $2,292 at December 31, 2008 with a specific loss allowance totaling $543. |
| | Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as a nonrecurring Level 2 asset. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as a nonrecurring Level 3 asset. There were no fair value adjustments pertaining to foreclosed assets totaling $300 on December 31, 2008. |
| | Below is a table that presents information about certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: |

| | In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and revenues and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. |
| (s) | Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
| | In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(SFAS No. 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. Certain requirements of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The effective date for other requirements of SFAS No. 157 has been deferred for one year by the FASB. On January 1, 2008 the Company |
39
| | adopted SFAS No. 157, which has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 1(q) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |
| | Also in September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 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 No. 158).SFAS No. 158 and its impact on the Company are discussed in Note 1(j) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |
| | In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. (SFAS No. 159) SFAS No. 159 permits entities to elect to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value. An entity must report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date, and recognize upfront costs and fees related to those items in earnings as incurred and not on a deferred basis. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected must be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option can be applied instrument by instrument; however, the election is irrevocable. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008 had little financial impact because the Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its financial assets or liabilities although fair value is used to state values of available-for-sale securities. |
| | In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations. (SFAS No 141R), which replaces SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations(SFAS No. 141) issued in 2001. Whereas its predecessor applied only to business combinations in which control was obtained by transferring consideration, the revised standard applies to all transactions or other events in which one entity obtains control over another. SFAS No. 141R defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control over one or more other businesses and defines the acquisition date as the date the acquirer achieves control. SFAS No. 141R requires the acquirer to recognize assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The revised standard changes the treatment of acquisition-related costs, restructuring costs related to an acquisition that the acquirer expects but is not obligated to incur, contingent consideration associated with the purchase price and pre-acquisition contingencies associated with acquired assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 141R retains the guidance in SFAS No. 141 for identifying and recognizing intangible assets apart from goodwill. The revised standard applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will apply the provisions of SFAS No. 141R to any business acquisition which occurs on or after the date the standard becomes effective. |
| | Also in December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51(SFAS No. 160). This statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,Consolidated Financial Statements,to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 160 and assessing the impact it may have on the Company. |
| | In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s |
40
| | financial condition, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 161 will impact disclosures only and will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |
| | In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(SFAS No. 162). The new standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. It is effective November 15, 2008. The Company’s adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. |
| | In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) SFAS No. 157-3,Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active(FSP SFAS No. 157-3). The new FSP clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements,in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. This FSP was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The adoption of FSP SFAS No 157-3 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |
| To comply with Federal Reserve regulations, the Company is required to maintain certain average reserve balances. The daily average reserve requirements were approximately $2,304 and $1,302 for the weeks including December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. |

Loans to companies in which executive officers and directors have an interest amounted to approximately $523 and $567 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. All such loans 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 unrelated persons, and, in the opinion of management, do not involve more than normal risk or present other unfavorable features.
Activity in the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 is summarized as follows:

The Company selects the expected long-term rate-of-return-on-assets assumption in consultation with its investment advisors and actuary. This rate is intended to reflect the average rate of return 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, which may not continue over the measurement period, and higher significance is 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).
The components of net pension benefit cost under the plan for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 is summarized as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Pension Benefits | |

Plan Asset Allocation
The pension plan’s weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2007 by asset category are as follows:
| | | | |
| | Plan Assets at |
| | 12/31/2008 | | 9/30/2007 |
Asset Category | | | | |
Mutual funds-fixed income | | 18% | | 22% |
Mutual funds-equity | | 78% | | 74% |
Cash and Equivalents | | 4% | | 4% |
| | | | |
Total | | 100% | | 100% |
| | | | |
Plan assets are held in a pooled pension trust fund administered by the Virginia Bankers Association. The pooled pension trust fund is sufficiently diversified to maintain a reasonable level of risk without imprudently sacrificing return, with a targeted asset allocation of 20% fixed income and 80% equities. The Investment Manager selects investment fund managers with demonstrated experience and expertise, and funds with demonstrated historical performance, for the implementation of the pension plan’s 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 Virginia Bankers Association to administer the investments of the pooled pension trust fund 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.
Contributions
The Company expects to contribute $423 to its pension plan in 2009.
The Company also has a 401(k) plan under which the Company did not match employee contributions to the plan in 2008 or 2007.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | |

| | | | | | | |
Net deferred tax asset, included in other assets | | $ | 1,610 | | | 304 | |
| | | | | | | |
The Bank has determined that a valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets is not necessary at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, since realization of the entire gross deferred tax assets can be supported by the amounts of taxes paid during the carryback periods available under current tax laws.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007 with no impact on the financial statements. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties related to income tax during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, and did not accrue any interest or penalties as of December 31, 2007 or 2008. The Company does not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as deductions taken and benefits accrued are based on widely understood administrative practices and procedures are based on clear and unambiguous tax law. Tax returns for all years 2005 and thereafter are subject to future examination by tax authorities.
(9) | Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk |
The Company is a 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. These instruments may involve, to varying degrees, credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments.
Credit risk is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because the other parties to a financial instrument fail to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss under commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
The Company requires collateral to support financial instruments when it is deemed necessary. The Bank evaluates such customers’ creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral may include deposits held in financial institutions, U.S. Treasury securities, other marketable securities, real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, and property, plant and equipment.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
| | | | | |
| | Contract amounts at December 31, |
| | 2008 | | 2007 |
Commitments to extend credit | | $ | 47,365 | | 45,762 |
| | | | | |
Standby letters of credit | | $ | 427 | | 875 |
| | | | | |
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.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including bond financing and similar transactions. Unless renewed, substantially all of the Company’s standby letters of credit commitments at December 31, 2008 will expire within one year. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.
The Company leases premises and equipment under various operating lease agreements. Generally, operating leases provide for one or more renewal options on the same basis as current rental terms. Certain
51
leases require increased rentals under cost-of-living escalation clauses. The following are future minimum lease payments as required under the agreements:
| | | |
Year | | Payments |
2009 | | $ | 237 |
2010 | | $ | 230 |
2011 | | $ | 150 |
2012 | | $ | 139 |
2013 | | $ | 117 |
After 2013 | | $ | 2,315 |
| | | |
Total | | $ | 3,188 |
| | | |
The Bank entered into a lease of the Amherst branch facility with S. Main, L.L.C., an entity in which a director of the Company has a 50% ownership interest. The original term of the lease is twenty years and may be renewed at the Bank’s option for two additional terms of five years each. The Bank’s current monthly rental payment under the lease is $11 or $130 annually.
(11) | Concentrations of Credit Risk |
The Company grants commercial, residential, consumer and agribusiness loans to customers primarily in the central Virginia area. The Company has a diversified loan portfolio that is not dependent upon any particular economic sector. As a whole, the portfolio could be affected by general economic conditions in the central Virginia region.
The Company’s commercial and real estate loan portfolios are diversified, with no significant concentrations of credit other than the geographic focus on the central Virginia region. The installment loan portfolio consists of consumer loans primarily for automobiles and other personal property. Overall, the Company’s loan portfolio is not concentrated within a single industry or group of industries, the loss of any one or more of which would generate a materially adverse impact on the business of the Company.
The Bank has established operating policies relating to the credit process and collateral in loan originations. Loans to purchase real and personal property are generally collateralized by the related property. Credit approval is principally a function of collateral and the evaluation of the creditworthiness of the borrower based on available financial information.
At times, the Bank may have cash and cash equivalents at a financial institution in excess of insured limits. The Bank places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions whose credit rating is monitored by management to minimize credit risk.
(12) | Dividend Restrictions and Capital Requirements |
Bankshares’ principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from its subsidiary Bank. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, dividends from the subsidiary Bank totaled $977 and $743, respectively.
Substantially all of Bankshares’ retained earnings consist of undistributed earnings of its subsidiary Bank, which are restricted by various regulations administered by federal banking regulatory agencies. Under applicable federal laws, the Comptroller of the Currency restricts, without prior approval, the total dividend payments of the Bank in any calendar year to the net profits of that year, as defined, combined with the retained net profits for the two preceding years. At December 31, 2008, retained net profits of the Bank that were free of such restriction approximated $3,629.
52
Bankshares 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 Bankshares’ consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Bankshares 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. Bankshares and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Bankshares 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, 2008, that Bankshares and the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 2008, the most recent notification from Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized Bankshares and the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” Bankshares and the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed Bankshares and the Bank’s category.

(13) | Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
| SFAS No. 107,Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values of its financial instruments. |
| The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the approximate fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that value. |
| (a) | Cash and Due from Banks and Federal Funds Sold |
| | The carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value. |
| | The fair value of securities is estimated based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers. The fair value of certain state and municipal securities is |
54
not readily available through market sources other than dealer quotations; so fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices of similar instruments, adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the instruments being valued.
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, real estate—residential, real estate—other, loans to individuals and other loans. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms.
The fair value of fixed rate loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan as well as estimates for prepayments. The estimate of maturity is based on the Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions.
| (d) | Deposits and Note Payable to Federal Home Loan Bank |
The fair value of demand deposits, NOW accounts, and savings deposits is the amount payable on demand. The fair value of fixed maturity time deposits, certificates of deposit and the note payable to the Federal Home Loan Bank is estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using the rates currently offered for deposits or borrowings of similar remaining maturities.
| (e) | Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit |
The only amounts recorded for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are the deferred fees arising from these unrecognized financial instruments. These deferred fees are not deemed significant at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and as such, the related fair values have not been estimated. The carrying amounts and approximate fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows at December 31, 2008 and 2007:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 |

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets that are not considered financial assets include deferred tax assets and premises and equipment and other real estate owned.

granted with an exercise price equal to the stock’s fair market value at the date of grant. At December 31, 2008, there were no additional shares available for grant under the 1997 Plan as the plan expired on May 1, 2007.
The 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the 2004 Plan), pursuant to which the Company’s Board of Directors may grant stock options to officers and key employees, was approved by shareholders on April 13, 2004 and became effective as of May 1, 2004.

Accordingly, 100,000 shares of authorized, but unissued common stock were reserved for use in the 2004 Plan. All stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the stock’s fair market value at the date of the grant. At December 31, 2008, there were 100,000 shares available for grant under the 2004 Plan.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) inInternal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Controls.
No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation
Altavista, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Each share of Common Stock is entitled to participate equally in dividends, which are payable as and when determined by the Board of Directors after consideration of the earnings, general economic conditions, the financial condition of the business and other factors as might be appropriate. The Company’s ability to pay dividends is dependent upon its receipt of dividends from its subsidiary. Prior approval from the Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank, including the proposed dividend, in any calendar year will exceed the sum of the Bank’s net profits for that year and its retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years, less any required transfers to surplus. This limitation has not had a material impact on the Bank’s ability to declare dividends during 2008 and 2007 and is not expected to have a material impact during 2009.
As of December 31, 2008, there were approximately 372 shareholders of record of Bankshares’ Common Stock.
