The sale ended on February 7, 2003, after one 30 day extension from the original sale period. The total number of shares sold under the offering were 890,469 resulting in total gross proceeds to the Company of $8,904,690. NOTE 6 STOCK OPTION PLAN: The Company has a stock-based compensation plan under which the Company can issue options, up to a maximum of 900,000 shares, to directors and employees to purchase common stock. Under the Plan, the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the award date. The options become vested and exercisable on the date of the grant. The stock option plan is more fully described in note 13 to the December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements. The Company awarded options to acquire 286,000 shares on December 12, 2001 and 79,500 shares on January 1, 2003. The options expire ten years from the date of the award. The fair value of each option granted on January 1, 2003, was $3.30 using the Black Scholes Option Pricing method with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate - 4.01%, expected life - 10 years, expected volatility - zero and expected dividends - zero. Outstanding options as of June 30, 2003 are as follows: Exercise Date of Grant Price Outstanding December 12, 2001 7.50 278,466 January 1, 2003 10.00 79,500 9 NEW PEOPLES BANKSHARES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 6 STOCK OPTION PLAN (CONTINUED): The Company accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No Stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to the stock option plan. No compensation cost would be recognized under FASB Statement No. 123 during the year 2002.

The dilution calculation assumes that all options were exercised at the beginning of the period and that the proceeds were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. NOTE 8 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In December 2002, the FASB issued FAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This new standard provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In addition, the Statement amends the disclosure requirements of FAS 123 to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the underlying effect of the method used on reported results until exercised. The Company plans to continue to use the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25. The disclosures required by FAS 148 are shown above in Note 6. 10 NEW PEOPLES BANKSHARES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 8 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED): In April 2003, FASB issued FAS 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This new standard amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities FAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company. In April 2003, FASB issued FAS 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." This new statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is (1) issued in the form of shares that is mandatorily redeemable, (2) at inception embodies an obligation to repurchase the issuer's equity, or is indexed to such an obligation, and that requires or may require the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring assets, or (3) embodies an unconditional obligation, or a financial instrument other than an outstanding share that embodies a conditional obligation, that the issuer must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares provided certain conditions are met; as a liability (or asset in some circumstances). FAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company. 11 Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward Looking Statements The following discussion contains statements that refer to future expectations, contain projections of the results of operations or of financial condition or state other information that is "forward-looking." "Forward-looking" statements are easily identified by the use of words such as "could," "could anticipate," "estimate," "believe," and similar words that refer to the future outlook. There is always a degree of uncertainty associated with "forward-looking" statements. The Company's management believes that the expectations reflected in such statements are based upon reasonable assumptions and on the facts and circumstances existing at the time of these disclosures. Actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated. Many factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Some factors, which could negatively affect the results, include: o General economic conditions, either nationally or within the Company's markets, could be less favorable than expected; o Changes in market interest rates could affect interest margins and profitability; o Competitive pressures could be greater than anticipated; and o Legal or accounting changes could affect the Company's results. Overview New Peoples Bankshares, Inc. ("Company") is a financial holding company, which owns 100% of New Peoples Bank, Inc. ("Bank"). In May of 2003, the Company formed two new subsidiaries: NPB Financial Serivces, Inc., which will provide insurance and investment products, and NPB Web Services, Inc., which will provide Web site development and maintenance for customers of the Bank. We anticipate that the new entities will begin operations during 2003. The Bank opened for business on October 28, 1998 and has achieved outstanding growth. As of June 30, 2003, the Bank had total deposits of $295,799,645 and total loans of $250,941,533. Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $1,204,459 compared with income of $1,196,202 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Net income per share was $.18 compared with $.20 for the prior period. The decrease in earnings per share is attributed to the increased number of shares outstanding after the recent sale of common stock. Our net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $593,101 compared with $611,358 for the first quarter of 2003 and $617,100 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in net income is mainly attributed to the decrease in our net interest margin for the quarter. Net income per share was $.09 compared with $.09 for the first quarter of 2003 and $.10 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. For the foreseeable future, management will continue its strategy of providing personal and customized financial services to individuals, small to medium size businesses and the professional community. The Bank will strive to serve the banking needs of its customers by developing personal, hometown relationships. Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Our net interest income, which equals total interest and dividend income less total interest expense, increased from $5,091,184 for the first six months of 2002 to $6,207,518 for the first six months of 2003. The increase was the net result of higher average balances and a 53 basis point decrease in the net interest margin. 12 Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin (Continued) The net interest margin on earning assets, which equals net interest income divided by total interest earning assets was 4.56% for the first six months of 2003 and 5.09% for the first six months of 2002. Interest rates were lower during the first six months of 2003 compared with the same period in 2002 in response to interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve Bank. The average yield on earning assets decreased 110 basis points and the average cost of funds decreased 58 basis points resulting in the decrease in the net interest margin. Because of a strong loan demand, the Bank was able to maintain the yield on loans at 7.96% during the current period compared with 8.36% for the prior period. The Bank continues to offer attractive loan and deposit rates in order to attract new customers. Table I below shows the rates paid on earning assets and deposit liabilities. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2003 was 4.63% compared with 5.31 % for the second quarter of 2002. The trend in interest rates during the second quarter of 2003 was consistent with the decreases experienced during the first quarter of 2002. Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2003 was $334,000 compared with $278,000 for the same period of 2002. Loan charge-offs for the first six months of 2003 were $63,636 and recoveries were $15,068 resulting in an allowance for loan losses of $2,509,919 at June 30, 2003 (approximately 1% of total loans). Our provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2003 was $174,000 compared to $148,000 for the second quarter of 2002. Net loan charge-offs for the second quarter of 2003 were $6,313. The calculation of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy. Although we have experienced lenders who are familiar with their customer base, most loans are too new to have exhibited signs of weakness and the bank does not have an adequate history of loan losses to develop accurate risk factors. In calculating the amount of the allowance for loan losses we use guidelines that have been traditionally recommended by the bank regulatory agencies. At each balance sheet date, we adjust the allowance to equal the larger of 1% or an amount calculated by multiplying a loss factor times the amount of loans in each risk classification pool. The pools and loss factors used in this calculation are as follows: loss-100%, doubtful-50%, substandard-10%, special mention-1%, pass-.5%. In addition we consider current economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, and known adverse factors that may affect the borrowers ability to repay. We intend to continue to set the allowance at a minimum of 1% unless there is a clear indication that a 1% allowance is not appropriate. As the loan portfolio matures, a loss rate specific to us will emerge and these loss percentages will be applied to the loan portfolio. This will result in a more accurate allowance for loan loss calculation that is tailored to reflect the risk associated with our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses represents management's best estimate of the probable loan losses incurred as of each balance sheet date. Loan officers initially risk rate the loans and a loan processor reviews the risk rating for appropriateness. In addition, a credit analyst reviews all loans in excess of $500,000 to one borrower. We also have a loan review team that reviews a sample of new loans for compliance, collectibility and risk rating. On a continuous basis, we downgrade loans if necessary based on recommendations of loan officers, review of past due loans, and recommendations of examiners and auditors. Noninterest Income Noninterest income increased from $665,736 in the first six months of 2002 to $813,006 in the first six months of 2003. The increase in service charges, fees and commissions is consistent with the growth in average assets of the Bank. Noninterest income as a percentage (annualized) of average assets was .53% for the first six months of 2003 compared to .59% for the first six months of 2002. 13 Noninterest Income (Continued) Noninterest income increased from $367,200 in the second quarter of 2002 to $439,882 for the second quarter of 2003. The increase in service charges, fees and commissions is consistent with the growth in average assets of the Bank. Noninterest income as a percentage (annualized) of average assets was .59 % for the second quarter of 2003 compared with .64% for the second quarter of 2002. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense increased from $3,635,071 in the first six months of 2002 to $4,876,151 in the first six months of 2003. The increase was due to additional staffing and expenses associated with the new branches opened and the general growth in operations. Noninterest expense as a percentage (annualized) of average assets was 3.19% for the first six months of 2003 compared to 3.24% for the first six months of 2002. Noninterest expense increased from $1,941,373 in the second quarter of 2002 to $2,607,559 for the second quarter of 2003. Noninterest expense as a percentage (annualized) of average assets was 3.31% for the second quarter of 2003 compared with 3.41% for the second quarter of 2002. Investment Securities Total investment securities increased from $34,304,396 at December 31, 2002 to $36,975,600 at June 30, 2003. We had no Available For Sale securities at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. At those dates, we believed that we had adequate liquidity in the form of other assets, including federal funds sold. In addition, the Securities Held to Maturity held at those dates generally had short contractual maturities and would have been available for liquidity purposes if necessary. See additional discussion of liquidity below. Our practice has been to invest available funds in short term U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, which reduce the percentage of the bank's capital that is subject to the Virginia bank franchise tax. The amount invested fluctuates from period to period depending on the funds available and projected liquidity needs. During the first six months of 2003, Securities Held to Maturity with a face value of $16,000,000 were replaced with similar short-term Securities Held to Maturity. Loans Total loans have increased $28,547,000 during the first six months of 2003 to $250,942,000 due to strong loan demand and customers at our new branches. Approximately 66% of the loan portfolio is secured by real estate. Loans receivable outstanding are summarized as follows: Loan Portfolio (In Thousands) June 30, December 31, 2003 2002 Commercial, financial and agricultural $ 112,237 $ 93,746 Real estate - construction 5,558 5,615 Real estate mortgage - 1-4 family residential 88,464 80,264 Installment loans to individuals 44,683 42,770 --------- --------- Loans Receivable $ 250,942 $ 222,395 ========= ========= 14 Loan Portfolio Risks Nonaccrual and past due loans are shown in the following schedule.

The Bank also entered into an agreement with the FHLB which establishes a $49,000,000 line of credit. Advances under the line will be secured by a blanket floating lien on the Bank's qualifying real estate loans. No advances had been made under the line of credit at June 30, 2003. Bank Premises At June 30, 2003, we had twelve full service branches, one deposit-taking branch and two loan production offices. On April 24, 2003, we opened a full service branch in Grundy, Virginia. We anticipate that the total cost of the land, building and equipment was approximately $1,600,000. A Director of the Bank has agreed to purchase the second floor of the building and six parking spaces for $350,000 for use as a law office. On July 2, 2003, we opened a branch in Dungannon, Virginia, in leased facilities located within the building which houses the Dungannon Post Office. The monthly lease fee will be approximately $800. It will be operated primarily as a deposit-taking branch, with two tellers. Land has been purchased and preliminary construction has begun for a full service branch in Bloomingdale/Kingsport, Tennessee. It is anticipated that construction will be completed by late autumn 2003, at an estimated cost of $800,000. We will continue to investigate and consider other possible sites that would enable the Bank to profitably serve its chosen market area. Additional purchases of premises and equipment for the year 2003 will depend on the decision to open additional branches. Deposits Our deposits increased $31,994,194 during the first six months of 2003 to $295,799,645 at June 30, 2003 due to customers at our new branches. A schedule of deposits by type is shown in the balance sheet. Time deposits of $100,000 or more equaled 20.6% of total deposits at June 30, 2003 and 20.0% at December 31, 2002. We do not have brokered deposits and internet accounts are limited to customers in the surrounding geographical area. A maturity schedule of deposits is included in Table II below. 15 Capital Capital as a percentage of total assets was 9.49% at June 30, 2003, which exceeded regulatory requirements. Beginning October 15, 2002, 1,200,000 shares of common stock were offered for sale by means of a prospectus to existing shareholders and to the general public in the states of Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee only. The sale ended on February 7, 2003, after one 30 day extension from the original sale period. The total number of shares sold under the offering were 890,469, resulting in total gross proceeds of $8,904,690. Liquidity We had liquid assets of approximately $44.0 million at June 30, 2003 in the form of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and investments maturing within 90 days. We believe that our liquid assets were adequate at June 30, 2003. In the event that we need additional funds, we have the ability to purchase federal funds under established lines of credit of $3.5 million and to borrow from the FHLB under a $49 million line of credit. Additional liquidity will be provided by the future growth that management expects in deposit accounts and loan repayments. We believe that this future growth will result from an increase in market share in our targeted trade area. The maturity of our interest earning assets and interest bearing deposits is shown in Table II below. Employees The Company's full time equivalent employees have increased from 145 at December 31, 2002 to 169 at June 30, 2003. Future increases in the number of employees will depend on the selection and approval of new branches. 16 Table I NEW PEOPLES BANKSHARES, INC.

In preparing the above table, no assumptions are made with respect to loan prepayments or deposit run offs. Loan principal payments are included in the earliest period in which the loan matures or can be repriced. Principal payments on installment loans scheduled prior to maturity are included in the period of maturity or repricing. 19 Item 3. Market Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Risk Interest rate risk represents the primary risk factor affecting our balance sheet and net interest margin. Significant changes in interest rates by the Federal Reserve could result in similar changes in other interest rates, that could affect interest earned on our loan and investment portfolios and interest paid on our deposit accounts. Our policy objective is to monitor our position and to manage our short term and long-term interest rate risk exposure. Our board of directors has established percentages for the maximum potential reductions in net interest income, that we are willing to accept, which result from changes in interest rates over the next 12-month period. The percentage limitations relate to instantaneous and sustained changes in interest rates of plus and minus certain basis points. The following table summarizes our established percentage limitations and the sensitivity of our net interest income to various interest rate scenarios for the next 12 months, based on assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. At both dates, our interest rate risk is within the established limitations. Immediate Estimated Increase Basis Point Change (Decrease) in Net Established In Interest Rates Interest Income Limitation June 30,December 31, 2003 2002 +300 1.00% (4.67)% (20.00)% +200 .66 (3.10) (15.00) +100 .33 (1.55) (7.00) -100 .13 2.13 (7.00) -200 (2.27) 4.09 (15.00) -300 (3.04) 1.95 (20.00) During the first six months of 2003, we were able to reduce our interest rate risk for an increasing rate environment by increasing our earning assets that reprice within one year relative to deposits that will reprice within one year. At June 30, 2003, we had a cumulative Gap Rate Sensitivity Ratio (based on contractual terms) of a negative 14.86% for the one year repricing period compared with a negative 34.27% at December 31, 2002. This generally indicates that earnings would improve in a declining interest rate environment as liabilities reprice more quickly than assets. Conversely, earnings would probably decrease in periods during which interest rates are increasing. Management constantly monitors the Company's interest rate risk and has decided that the current position is an acceptable risk for a growing community bank operating in a rural environment. Table II in Item 2 above shows the Company's interest sensitivity by year. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As a result of the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, issuers such as the Company that file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") are now required to include in those reports certain information concerning the issuer's controls and procedures for complying with the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports it files or submits under the Act is communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 20 Item 4. Controls and Procedures (Continued) We have established our disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information related to the Company is made known to our principal executive officers and principal financial officer on a regular basis, in particular during the periods in which our quarterly and annual reports are being prepared. These disclosure controls and procedures consist principally of communications between and among the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, and the other executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries to identify any new transactions, events, trends, contingencies or other matters that may be material to the Company's operations. As required, we will evaluate the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures on a quarterly basis, and most recently did so as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively as designed as of the date of such evaluation. Changes in Internal Controls We also maintain a system of internal accounting controls that is designed to provide assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and properly recorded. This system is continually reviewed and is augmented by written policies and procedures, and careful selection and training of qualified personnel. There have been no significant changes to this system of internal controls or in other factors that could materially affect those controls subsequent to the date of the Company's evaluation described above.
