(the Company) was incorporated as a Virginia corporation on February 3, 1992 to acquire 100% of the stock of The Grayson National Bank (the Bank). The Bank was acquired by the Company on July 1, 1992. The Grayson National Bank was founded in 1900 and currently serves Grayson County and surrounding areas through six banking offices located in the town of Independence, the localities of Elk Creek and Troutdale and the City of Galax, Virginia, and the Town of Sparta, North Carolina. The Bank operates for the primary purpose of meeting the banking needs of individuals and small to medium sized businesses in the Bank's service area, while developing personal, hometown associations with these customers. The Bank offers a wide range of banking services including checking and savings accounts; commercial, installment, mortgage and personal loans; safe deposit boxes; and other associated services. The Bank's primary sources of revenue are interest income from its lending activities, and, to a lesser extent, from its investment portfolio. The Bank also earns fees from lending and deposit activities. The major expenses of the Bank are interest on deposit accounts and general and administrative expenses, such as salaries, occupancy and related expenses. Lending Activities The Bank's lending services include real estate, commercial, agricultural and consumer loans. The loan portfolio constituted 70.76% of the earning assets of the Bank at December 31, 2002 and has historically produced the highest interest rate spread above the cost of funds. The Bank's loan personnel have the authority to extend credit under guidelines established and approved by the Board of Directors. Any aggregate credit which exceeds the authority of the loan officer is forwarded to the loan committee for approval. The loan committee is composed of the Bank President and all loan officers. All aggregate credits that exceed the loan committee's lending authority are presented to the full Board of Directors for ultimate approval or denial. The loan committee not only acts as an approval body to ensure consistent application of the Bank's loan policy but also provides valuable insight through communication and pooling of knowledge, judgment and experience of its members. The Bank has in the past and intends to continue to make most types of real estate loans, including but not limited to, single and multi-family housing, farm loans, residential and commercial construction loans and loans for commercial real estate. At the end of 2002 the Bank had 46.86% of the loan portfolio in single and multi-family housing, 23.39% in non-farm, non-residential loans, 4.83% in farm related real estate loans and 3.86% in real estate construction loans. The Bank's loan portfolio includes commercial and agricultural production loans totaling 12.13% of the portfolio at year-end 2002. Consumer loans make up approximately 9.43% of the total loan portfolio. Consumer loans include loans for household expenditures, car loans and other loans to individuals. While this category has experienced a greater percentage of charge-offs than the other classifications, the Bank is committed to continue to make this type of loan to fill the needs of the Bank's customer base. All loans in the Bank's portfolio are subject to risk from the state of the economy in the Bank's area and also that of the nation. The Bank has used and continues to use conservative loan-to-value ratios and thorough credit evaluation to lessen the risk on all types of loans. The use of conservative appraisals 4 has also reduced exposure on real estate loans. Thorough credit checks and evaluation of past internal credit history has helped to reduce the amount of risk related to consumer loans. Government guarantees of loans are used when appropriate, but apply to a minimal percentage of the portfolio. Commercial loans are evaluated by collateral value and ability to service debt. Businesses seeking loans must have a good product line and sales, responsible management, manageable debt load and a product that is not adversely affected by downturns in the economy. Investments The Bank invests a portion of its assets in U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government corporation and agency obligations, state, county and municipal obligations, and equity securities. The Bank's investments are managed in relation to loan demand and deposit growth, and are generally used to provide for the investment of excess funds at reduced yields and risks relative to increases in loan demand or to offset fluctuations in deposits. The Bank does not engage in any hedging activities. For additional information relating to investments, see "Financial Information." Deposit Activities Deposits are the major source of funds for lending and other investment activities. Grayson National Bank considers the majority of its regular savings, demand, NOW and money market deposits and small denomination certificates of deposit, to be core deposits. These accounts comprised approximately 83.0% of the Bank's total deposits at December 31, 2002. Certificates of deposit in denominations of $100,000 or more represented the remaining 17.0% of deposits at year-end. Competition The Company encounters strong competition both in making loans and in attracting deposits. The deregulation of the banking industry and the widespread enactment of state laws which permit multi-bank holding companies as well as an increasing level of interstate banking have created a highly competitive environment for commercial banking. In one or more aspects of its business, the Company competes with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking companies, and other financial intermediaries. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits and may offer certain services that we do not currently provide. In addition, many of Grayson Bankshares, Inc.'s competitors are not subject to the same extensive federal regulations that govern bank holding companies and federally insured banks. Recent federal and state legislation has heightened the competitive environment in which financial institutions must conduct their business, and the potential for competition among financial institutions of all types has increased significantly. To compete, the Company relies upon specialized services, responsive handling of customer needs, and personal contacts by its officers, directors, and staff. Large multi-branch banking competitors tend to compete primarily by rate and the number and location of branches while smaller, independent financial institutions tend to compete primarily by rate and personal service. Currently, in Grayson County the Company competes with only two other commercial banks, which operate a total of three branch banking facilities. As of June 30, 2002, Grayson Bankshares, Inc. held 83.54% of the deposits in Grayson County. In the City of Galax the Company competes with six other commercial banks. Since opening in May of 1996 we have captured a market share of 15.42% of deposits to become the third largest holder of deposits in the market. Mountain National Bank leads the market with 32.94% of deposits as of June 30, 2002. 5 Employees At December 31, 2002, the Company had 73 full time equivalent employees, none of which are represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Management considers employee relations to be good. Government Supervision and Regulation The following discussion is a summary of the principal laws and regulations that comprise the regulatory framework applicable to the Company and the Bank. Other laws and regulations that govern various aspects of the operations of banks and bank holding companies are not described herein, although violations of such laws and regulations could result in supervisory enforcement action against the Company or the Bank. The following descriptions, as well as descriptions of laws and regulations contained elsewhere in this filing, summarize the material terms of the principal laws and regulations and are qualified in their entirety by reference to applicable laws and regulations. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (as amended, the "BHCA") and the examination and reporting requirements of the Federal Reserve. Under the BHCA, a bank holding company may not directly or indirectly acquire ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any additional bank or merge or consolidate with another bank holding company without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve. The BHCA also generally limits the activities of a bank holding company to that of banking, managing or controlling banks, or any other activity which is determined to be so closely related to banking or to managing or controlling banks that an exception is allowed for those activities. As a national bank, The Grayson National Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). The Bank is also subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the FDIC. Federal law also governs the activities in which the Bank may engage, the investments it may make and limits the aggregate amount of loans that may be granted to one borrower to 15% of the bank's capital and surplus. Various consumer and compliance laws and regulations also affect the Bank's operations. The earnings of the Bank, and therefore the earnings of the Company, are affected by general economic conditions, management policies and the legislative and governmental actions of various regulatory authorities, including those referred to above. The OCC will conduct regular examinations of the Bank, reviewing such matters as the adequacy of loan loss reserves, quality of loans and investments, management practices, compliance with laws, and other aspects of its operations. In addition to these regular examinations, the Bank must furnish the OCC with periodic reports containing a full and accurate statement of its affairs. Supervision, regulation and examination of banks by these agencies are intended primarily for the protection of depositors rather than shareholders. Insurance of Accounts, Assessments and Regulation by the FDIC. The deposits of The Grayson National Bank are insured by the FDIC up to the limits set forth under applicable law. The deposits of the Bank are also subject to the deposit insurance assessments of the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the FDIC. The FDIC has implemented a risk-based deposit insurance assessment system under which the assessment rate for an insured institution may vary according to regulatory capital levels of the institution and other factors (including supervisory evaluations). Under this system, depository institutions are 6 charged anywhere from zero to $.27 for every $100 in insured domestic deposits, based on such institutions' capital levels and supervisory subgroup assignment. These rate schedules are subject to future adjustments by the FDIC. In addition, the FDIC has authority to impose special assessments from time to time. The BIF reached its required 1.25 reserve ratio in 1995, and in response the FDIC reduced deposit insurance assessment rates on BIF-insured deposits to historic low levels. However, due to legislation enacted in 1996 which requires that both Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")-insured deposits and BIF-insured deposits pay a pro rata portion of the interest due on the obligations issued by the Financing Corporation ("FICO"), the FDIC has imposed additional assessments on BIF-insured deposits. The FDIC is authorized to prohibit any BIF-insured institution from engaging in any activity that the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious threat to the respective insurance fund. Also, the FDIC may initiate enforcement actions against banks, after first giving the institution's primary regulatory authority an opportunity to take such action. The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any depository institution if it determines, after a hearing, that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed in writing by the FDIC. It also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital. If deposit insurance is terminated, the deposits at the institution at the time of termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a period from six months to two years, as determined by the FDIC. Management is aware of no existing circumstances that could result in termination of The Grayson National Bank's deposit insurance. Capital. The OCC and the Federal Reserve have issued risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to banking organizations they supervise. Under the risk-based capital requirements, the Company and the Bank are each generally required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) of 8%. At least half of the total capital is to be composed of common equity, retained earnings and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, less certain intangibles ("Tier 1 capital"). The remainder may consist of certain subordinated debt, certain hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying preferred stock and a limited amount of the loan loss allowance ("Tier 2 capital" and, together with Tier 1 capital, "total capital"). In addition, each of the Federal banking regulatory agencies has established minimum leverage capital ratio requirements for banking organizations. These requirements provide for a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average quarterly assets equal to 3% for bank holding companies that are rated a composite "1" and 4% for all other bank holding companies. Bank holding companies are expected to maintain higher than minimum capital ratios if they have supervisory, financial, operational or managerial weaknesses, or if they are anticipating or experiencing significant growth. The risk-based capital standards of the OCC and the Federal Reserve explicitly identify concentrations of credit risk and the risk arising from non-traditional activities, as well as an institution's ability to manage these risks, as important factors to be taken into account by the agency in assessing an institution's overall capital adequacy. The capital guidelines also provide that an institution's exposure to a decline in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates be considered by the agency as a factor in evaluating a bank's capital adequacy. The OCC and the Federal Reserve also have recently issued additional capital guidelines for bank holding companies that engage in certain trading activities. Other Safety and Soundness Regulations. There are a number of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries by Federal law and regulatory policy that are designed to reduce potential loss exposure to the depositors of such depository 7 institutions and to the FDIC insurance funds in the event the depository institution becomes in danger of default or is in default. For example, under a policy of the Federal Reserve with respect to bank holding company operations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might not do so otherwise. In addition, the "cross-guarantee" provisions of Federal law require insured depository institutions under common control to reimburse the FDIC for any loss suffered or reasonably anticipated by the BIF as a result of the default of a commonly controlled insured depository institution or for any assistance provided by the FDIC to a commonly controlled insured depository institution in danger of default. The FDIC may decline to enforce the cross-guarantee provision if it determines that a waiver is in the best interests of the BIF. The FDIC's claim for reimbursement is superior to claims of shareholders of the insured depository institution or its holding company but is subordinate to claims of depositors, secured creditors and holders of subordinated debt (other than affiliates) of the commonly controlled insured depository institution. The Federal banking agencies also have broad powers under current Federal law to take prompt corrective action to resolve problems of insured depository institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act requires that the federal banking agencies establish five capital levels for insured depository institutions - "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," and "critically undercapitalized." It also requires or permits such agencies to take certain supervisory actions should an insured institution's capital level fall. For example, an "adequately capitalized" institution is restricted from accepting brokered deposits. An "undercapitalized" or "significantly undercapitalized" institution must develop a capital restoration plan and is subject to a number of mandatory and discretionary supervisory actions. These powers and authorities are in addition to the traditional powers of the Federal banking agencies to deal with undercapitalized institutions. Federal regulatory authorities also have broad enforcement powers over the Company and the Bank, including the power to impose fines and other civil and criminal penalties, and to appoint a receiver in order to conserve the assets of any such institution for the benefit of depositors and other creditors. Payment of Dividends. The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. Virtually all of the revenues of the Company results from dividends paid to the Company by the Bank. Under OCC regulations a national bank may not declare a dividend in excess of its undivided profits. Additionally, a national bank may not declare a dividend if the total amount of all dividends, including the proposed dividend, declared by the national bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of the national bank's retained net income of that year to date, combined with its retained net income of the two preceding years, unless the dividend is approved by the OCC. A national bank may not declare or pay any dividend if, after making the dividend, the national bank would be "undercapitalized," as defined in regulations of the OCC. The Company is subject to state laws that limit the amount of dividends it can pay. In addition, the Company is subject to various general regulatory policies relating to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain adequate capital above regulatory minimums. The Federal Reserve has indicated that banking organizations should generally pay dividends only if, (1) the organization's net income available to common shareholders over the past year has been sufficient to fully fund the dividends, and (2) the prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent with the organization's capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Community Reinvestment. The requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") are applicable to the Bank. The CRA imposes on financial institutions an affirmative and ongoing obligation to meet the credit needs of their local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions. A financial institution's efforts in meeting community credit needs currently are evaluated as part of the examination process pursuant to 8 twelve assessment factors. These factors also are considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or facility. Interstate Banking and Branching. Current Federal law authorizes interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies without geographic limitation. Effective June 1, 1997, a bank headquartered in one state is able to merge with a bank headquartered in another state, as long as neither of the states has opted out of such interstate merger authority prior to such date. States are authorized to enact laws permitting such interstate bank merger transactions prior to June 1, 1997, as well as authorizing a bank to establish "de novo" interstate branches. Virginia enacted early "opt in" laws, permitting interstate bank merger transactions. Once a bank has established branches in a state through an interstate merger transaction, the bank may establish and acquire additional branches at any location in the state where a bank headquartered in that state could have established or acquired branches under applicable Federal or state law. Economic and Monetary Polices. The operations of the Company are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the economic and monetary policies of various regulatory authorities. In particular, the Federal Reserve regulates money, credit and interest rates in order to influence general economic conditions. These policies have a significant influence on overall growth and distribution of loans, investments and deposits and affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for time and savings deposits. Federal Reserve monetary policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. 9 Item 2.
