Grayson Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Grayson Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as a Virginia
corporation on February 3, 1992 to acquire the stock of The Grayson National
Bank (the "Bank") in a bank holding company reorganization. The Bank was
acquired by the Company on July 1, 1992.
The Bank was organized under the laws of the United States in 1900 and currently
serves Grayson County, Virginia and surrounding areas through nine banking
offices. As an FDIC-insured National Banking Association, the Bank is subject to
regulation by the Comptroller of the Currency. The Company is regulated by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and for the periods
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 included herein have been prepared by the Company
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the information furnished in
the interim consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments necessary
to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for such interim
periods. Management believes that all interim period adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and the notes
thereto as of December 31, 2006, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The results of operations for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and the Bank follow
generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the
financial services industry.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
the Bank, which is wholly owned. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Note 2. Restrictions on Cash
To comply with banking regulations, the Bank is required to maintain certain
average cash reserve balances. The daily average cash reserve requirement was
approximately $2,236,000 and $2,124,000 for the periods including March 31, 2007
and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Note 3. Allowance for Loan Losses
The following is an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the three

Note 5. Employee Benefit Plan
The Bank has a qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that
covers substantially all of its employees. The benefits are primarily based on
years of service and earnings. The following is a summary of net periodic
pension costs for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
2007 2006
---- ----

Amortization of net (gain) or loss 19,443 22,973
------ ------
Net periodic benefit cost $ 116,550 $ 120,628
============= ==============
Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies
The Bank is 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 involve, to varying degrees, credit risk in excess
of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.
The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
obligations as for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the Bank's
commitments at March 31, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:
2007 2006
Commitments to extend credit $ 20,438,947 $ 16,437,665
Standby letters of credit - -

$ 20,438,947 $ 16,437,665

Grayson Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies, continued
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer, at a fixed or
variable interest rate, 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. The
Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The
amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of
credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the party. Collateral held
varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment,
residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are
primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The
credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies
as specified above and is required in instances that the Bank deems necessary.
Note 7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 31, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting
for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans" ("SFAS 158"), which
was issued in September 2006 and amends SFAS 87 and SFAS 106 to require
recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and other
postretirement benefit plans on the balance sheet. Under SFAS 158, gains and
losses, prior service costs and credits, and any remaining transition amounts
under SFAS 87 and SFAS 106 that have not yet been recognized through net
periodic benefit cost will be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive
income, net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component of net
periodic cost. The adoption of SFAS 158 had a significant impact on the balance
sheet of the Company. Prior to adoption, the Company had a prepaid pension
benefit of $303,636; after the adoption, the Company had a liability of
$1,645,178. This represents an increase in the net pension liability of
$1,948,814. This increase in liability is recorded, net of tax, as a reduction
of other comprehensive income of $1,286,217. This change is the cumulative
effect of the adoption of this standard. Future adjustments to liabilities and
other comprehensive income should reflect only one year's change and are
expected to be much less in amount.

Part I. Financial Information
Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General
The following discussion provides information about the major components of the
results of operations and financial condition of the Company. This discussion
and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this
report.
Critical Accounting Policies
For a discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies, including its
allowance for loan losses, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2006.
Results of Operations
Total interest income increased by $734,504 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2006, while interest expense on deposits
and other borrowings increased by $783,657 over the same period. The increase in
interest income was attributable primarily to an increase in average loans
outstanding. The increase in interest expense was due to increases in market
deposit rates and to the migration of funds by customers from lower-yielding
transaction accounts to higher-yielding time deposits. The result was a slight
decrease in net interest income of $49,153 or 1.68% in the first quarter of 2007
compared to the same period last year.
The provision for loan losses was $60,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007
and $112,500 for the same period in 2006. The reserve for loan losses at March
31, 2007 was approximately 1.13% of total loans. Management believes the
provision and the resulting allowance for loan losses are adequate.
Noninterest income was $573,689 in the first quarter of 2007 compared to
$404,860 in the first quarter of 2006. The increase was due primarily to the
recognition in March 2007 of earnings of approximately $191,000 from the Bank's
investment in an SBIC.
Noninterest expenses increased by $168,150, or 8.34%, for the quarter ended
March 31, 2007 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase came
as a result of normal increases in salaries, benefits and other expenses,
combined with the additional costs attributable to branching activity in the
fourth quarter of 2006.
Net income before taxes increased by $4,026, for the quarter ended March 31,
2007, compared to the same quarter in 2006. An increase in tax-exempt
investments led to a slight decrease in income tax expense to $362,500 in the
first quarter of 2007, from $364,000 in the first quarter of 2006. As a result,
net income increased by $5,526, or 0.66%, to $843,962 compared to $838,436 last
year.
Financial Condition
Total assets decreased by $1,603,800, or 0.48%, from December 31, 2006 to March
31, 2007. Net loans increased by $8,088,578, federal funds sold decreased by
$6,400,469 and investment securities decreased by $2,385,100. The decreases in
federal funds sold and investment securities came as balances were used to
retire long-term debt.
Total deposits increased by $6,900,247, or 2.44%, from December 31, 2006 to
March 31, 2007. Most of the growth in deposits came from increases in time
deposits, or certificates of deposit, as noted above in the comments on net
interest income. Long-term debt decreased from $20,000,000 at December 31, 2006,
to $10,000,000 at March 31, 2007.

Part I. Financial Information
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shareholders' equity totaled $28,892,199 at March 31, 2007 compared to
$28,304,169 at December 31, 2006. The $588,030 increase was the result of
earnings for the three months combined with an increase in the market value of
securities classified as available for sale, and the payment of dividends of
$343,796.
Regulatory guidelines relating to capital adequacy provide minimum risk-based
ratios at the Bank level which assess capital adequacy while encompassing all
credit risks, including those related to off-balance sheet activities. The Bank
exceeds all regulatory capital guidelines and is considered to be well
capitalized.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to convert assets to cash to fund depositors'
withdrawals or borrowers' loans without significant loss. Federal fund lines
available from correspondent banks totaled $18,400,000 at March 31, 2007. No
balances were outstanding on these lines at March 31, 2007 or December 31, 2006.
Long-term debt consists of borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and
Deutsche Bank. Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, which are secured by
a blanket collateral agreement on the Bank's 1 to 4 family residential real
estate loans, totaled $10,000,000 at December 31, 2006. The Federal Home Loan
Bank borrowings were repaid in January 2007 and no amounts were outstanding to
the Federal Home Loan Bank at March 31, 2007. Borrowings from Deutsche Bank,
which are secured by the pledging of specific investment securities, totaled
$10,000,000 at each of March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006. The unused credit
line from the Federal Home Loan Bank as of March 31, 2007 is approximately
$49,500,000.
The Bank uses cash and federal funds sold to meet its daily funding needs. If
funding needs are met through holdings of excess cash and federal funds, then
profits might be sacrificed as higher-yielding investments are foregone in the
interest of liquidity. Therefore management determines, based on such items as
loan demand and deposit activity, an appropriate level of cash and federal funds
and seeks to maintain that level.
The Bank's investment security portfolio also serves as a source of liquidity.
The primary goals of the investment portfolio are liquidity management and
maturity gap management. As investment securities mature, the proceeds are
reinvested in federal funds sold if the federal funds level needs to be
increased; otherwise the proceeds are reinvested in similar investment
securities. The majority of investment security transactions consist of
replacing securities that have been called or matured. The Bank keeps a portion
of its investment portfolio in unpledged assets that are less than 24 months to
maturity. These investments are a preferred source of funds in that they can be
disposed of in any interest rate environment without causing significant damage
to that quarter's profits.
As a result of the steps described above, management believes that the Company
maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors' requirements
and meet its customers' credit needs.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information contained in this discussion may include "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
These forward-looking statements are generally identified by phrases such as
"the Company expects," "the Company believes" or words of similar import. Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks including, but not
limited to, changes in general economic and business conditions, interest rate
fluctuations, competition within and from outside the banking industry, new
products and services in the banking industry, risk inherent in making loans
such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values, problems with
technology utilized by the Company, changing trends in customer profiles and
changes in laws and regulations applicable to the Company. Although the Company
believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements
are based upon reliable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its
business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results,
performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. For additional information on known and unknown
risks, see the "Caution About Forward Looking Statements" section in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Part I. Financial Information
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The principal goals of the Bank's asset and liability management strategy are
the maintenance of adequate liquidity and the management of interest rate risk.
Interest rate risk management balances the effects of interest rate changes on
assets that earn interest or liabilities on which interest is paid, to protect
the Bank from wide fluctuations in its net interest income that could result
from interest rate changes.
Management must ensure that adequate funds are available at all times to meet
the needs of its customers. On the asset side of the balance sheet, maturing
investments, loan payments, maturing loans, federal funds sold, and unpledged
investment securities are principal sources of liquidity. On the liability side
of the balance sheet, liquidity sources include core deposits, the ability to
increase large denomination certificates, federal fund lines from correspondent
banks, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank,
as well as the ability to generate funds through the issuance of long-term debt
and equity.
Interest rate risk is the effect that changes in interest rates would have on
interest income and interest expense as interest-sensitive assets and
interest-sensitive liabilities either reprice or mature. Management attempts to
maintain the portfolios of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities with maturities or repricing opportunities at levels that will
afford protection from erosion of net interest margin, to the extent practical,
from changes in interest rates.
The Bank uses a number of tools to manage its interest rate risk, including
simulating net interest income under various scenarios, monitoring the present
value change in equity under the same scenarios, and monitoring the difference
or gap between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities over various
time periods.
The earnings simulation model forecasts annual net income under a variety of
scenarios that incorporate changes in the absolute level of interest rates,
changes in the shape of the yield curve and changes in interest rate
relationships. Management evaluates the effect on net interest income from
gradual changes in the Prime Rate of up to 300 basis points up or down over a
12-month period. The current model indicates that an increase in rates of 300
basis points over the next 12 months would result in an increase in net interest
income of $405,000, or 3.37%, while a similar decrease in rates would result in
a decrease in net interest income of $443,000, or 3.69%. The model also
incorporates Management's forecasts for balance sheet growth, noninterest income
and noninterest expense. The interest rate scenarios are used for analytical
purposes and do not represent Management's view of future market movements.
Rather, these are intended to provide a measure of the degree of volatility
interest rate movements may apply to the earnings of the Company. Modeling the
sensitivity of earnings to interest rate risk is highly dependent on numerous
assumptions embedded in the simulation model. While the earnings sensitivity
analysis incorporates Management's best estimate of interest rate and balance
sheet dynamics under various market rate movements, the actual behavior and
resulting earnings impact likely will differ from that projected.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's President and
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that its
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to
material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated
subsidiary) required to be included in its periodic filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
The Company's management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the
Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection
with the evaluation of it that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter
that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
internal control over financial reporting.
