------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 September 30, 2007 and for the periods ended September 30, 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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 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. Critical Accounting Policies The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 contain a summary of its significant accounting policies. Management believes the Company's policies with respect to the methodology for the determination of the allowance for loan losses, and asset impairment judgments, such as the recoverability of intangible assets and other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Accordingly, management considers the policies related to those areas as critical. 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 $2,898,000 and $2,124,000 for the periods including September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. 8 Grayson Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 3. Allowance for Loan Losses The following is an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. 2007 2006 ---- ---- Balance, beginning $ 2,901,997 $ 2,678,055 Provision charged to expense 273,588 400,000 Recoveries of amounts charged off 59,348 75,300 Amounts charged off (447,538) (297,160) ------------- -------------- Balance, ending $ 2,787,395 $ 2,856,195 ============= ============== Note 4. Income Taxes A reconciliation of income tax expense computed at the statutory federal income tax rate to income tax expense included in the statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 follows: 2007 2006 ---- ---- Tax at statutory federal rate $ 1,166,483 $ 1,214,742 Tax exempt interest income (132,193) (105,906) Other tax exempt income (67,665) (72,780) Other 36,375 21,944 ------------- -------------- $ 1,003,000 $ 1,058,000 ============= ============== 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. 2007 2006 ---- ---- Service cost $ 290,742 $ 292,215 Interest cost 268,374 245,538 Expected return on plan assets (275,316) (252,309) Amortization of net obligation at transition (27) (27) Amortization of prior service cost 7,548 7,548 Amortization of net (gain) or loss 58,329 68,919 ------------- --------------- Net periodic benefit cost $ 349,650 $ 361,884 ============= ============== 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. 9 Grayson Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies, continued 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 September 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows: 2007 2006 Commitments to extend credit $ 22,309,875 $ 17,597,539 Standby letters of credit - - ------------- -------------- $ 22,309,875 $ 17,597,539 ============= ============== 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("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 on December 31, 2006, 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. On February 15, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")issued FASB Statement No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159") This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The FASB's stated objective in issuing this standard is as follows: "to improve reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions." The Company is currently analyzing the effects of SFAS 159 on its financial statements. 10 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 $372,596 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006, while interest expense on deposits and other borrowings increased by $495,183 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 decrease in net interest income of $122,587 or 3.98% in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the same period last year. The provision for loan losses was $138,588 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 and $150,000 for the same period in 2006. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2007 was 1.06% of total loans. Management believes the provision and the resulting allowance for loan losses are adequate to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Noninterest income was $555,877 in the third quarter of 2007 compared to $495,390 in the third quarter of 2006. Service charges on deposit accounts increased in the third quarter of 2007 due to the implementation of an overdraft privilege program. Noninterest expenses decreased by $27,975, or 1.22%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The decrease was due to non-recurring losses of $154,382 on the sale of foreclosed assets which were recognized in the third quarter of 2006. The decrease in net interest income led to a decrease in net income before taxes of $22,713 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same quarter in 2006. Income tax expense decreased to $307,000 in the quarter, from $322,000 in the third quarter of 2006. As a result, net income decreased by $7,713, or 0.96%, to $796,942 compared to $804,655 last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, total interest income increased by $1,803,074 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, while interest expense increased by $2,007,601 over the same period. This resulted in a decrease in net interest income of $204,527, or 2.24%. As stated above, the increase in interest income was primarily the result of an increase in average loans outstanding while the increase in interest expense came as a result of increases in market deposit rates and the migration of funds from lower-yielding transaction accounts to higher-yielding time deposits. Noninterest income increased by $255,389 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was due to the aforementioned increase in service charges on deposit accounts as well as earnings recognized in the first quarter of 2007 from the Bank's investment in a small business investment company. 11 Part I. Financial Information Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Increases in normal operating costs combined with the costs of branching activity in the fourth quarter of 2006 resulted in an overall increase in noninterest expense of $319,212, or 4.95%, for the first nine months of 2007 compared to the first nine months of 2006. Overall, the decrease in net interest income, combined with the increase in noninterest expense, led to a decrease in net income of $86,938, or 3.46%, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006. Financial Condition Total assets increased by $10,601,933, or 3.18%, from December 31, 2006 to September 30, 2007. Net loans increased by $14,386,710, federal funds sold increased by $493,207 and investment securities decreased by $3,270,806. The decrease in investment securities came as balances were used to retire long-term debt. Total deposits increased by $19,729,215, or 6.99%, from December 31, 2006 to September 30, 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 September 30, 2007. Other liabilities decreased from $2,500,629 at December 31, 2006 to $1,673,863 at September 30, 2007 due primarily to a contribution of $970,477 to the Bank's defined benefit pension plan. Shareholders' equity totaled $29,634,579 at September 30, 2007 compared to $28,304,169 at December 31, 2006. The $1,330,410 increase was the result of earnings for the nine months combined with a decrease in the market value of securities classified as available for sale, and the payment of dividends of $1,031,381. 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 September 30, 2007. No balances were outstanding on these lines at September 30, 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 September 30, 2007. Borrowings from Deutsche Bank, which are secured by the pledging of specific investment securities, totaled $10,000,000 at each of September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006. The unused credit line from the Federal Home Loan Bank as of September 30, 2007 was approximately $51,400,000. 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 securities 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. 12 Part I. Financial Information Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 13 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 approximately $807,000, or 6.0%, while a similar decrease in rates would result in a decrease in net interest income of approximately $1,068,000, or 8.0%. 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. 14 Part I. Financial Information 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.
