------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, 2008 and for the periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 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, 2007, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 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 $2,825,000 and $2,775,000 for the periods including March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Note 3. Allowance for Loan Losses The following is an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. 2008 2007 ---- ---- Balance, beginning $ 2,757,745 $ 2,901,997 Provision charged to expense 75,000 60,000 Recoveries of amounts charged off 22,962 10,956 Amounts charged off (97,571) (111,165) ------- -------- Balance, ending $ 2,758,136 $ 2,861,788 =========== =========== 7 Grayson Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 4.

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, 2008 and 2007. 2008 2007 ---- ---- Service cost $ 97,895 $ 96,914 Interest cost 91,974 89,458 Expected return on plan assets (110,609) (91,772) Amortization of net obligation at transition (9) (9) Amortization of prior service cost 2,516 2,516 Amortization of net (gain) or loss 12,932 19,443 ------ ------ Net periodic benefit cost $ 94,699 $ 116,550 ========= ========= 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, 2008 and 2007 is as follows: 2008 2007 ---- ---- Commitments to extend credit $19,366,161 $20,438,947 Standby letters of credit -- -- ----------- ----------- $19,366,161 $20,438,947 =========== =========== 8 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. Fair Value The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale, and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as foreclosed assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Fair Value Hierarchy Under SFAS 157, the Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value 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. These levels are: Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques may include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. Investment Securities Available for Sale Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security's credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets. 9 Grayson Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 7. Fair Value, continued Loans 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 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, " (SFAS 114). The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At March 31, 2008, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with SFAS 157, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. 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 nonrecurring Level 3. Derivative Assets and Liabilities Derivative instruments held or issued by the Company for risk management purposes are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. Management engages third-party intermediaries to determine the fair market value of these derivative instruments and classifies these instruments as Level 2. Examples of Level 2 derivatives are interest rate swaps, caps and floors. No derivative instruments were held as of March 31, 2008, or December 31, 2007. Foreclosed Assets 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 an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. 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 nonrecurring Level 3.

Fair Value, continued Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals. These include assets and liabilities that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below. March 31, 2008 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 --------------- ---------------- --------------- ---------------- Loans $ 1,092,752 $ - $ 1,092,752 $ - Foreclosed assets 235,000 - 235,000 - --------------- ---------------- --------------- ---------------- Total assets at fair value $ 1,327,752 $ - $ 1,327,752 $ - =============== ================ =============== ================ Total liabilities at fair value $ - $ - $ - $ - =============== ================ =============== ================ Note 8. Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 06-10 In March 2007, the FASB ratified the consensuses reached by the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB's) Emerging Issues Task Force relating to EITF 06-10, "Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements" (EITF 06-10). EITF 06-10 states that entities with collateral split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions", (if in substance a postretirement benefit plan exists). The Company evaluated the impact of applying this issue as a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Because the Bank has a limited number of split-dollar life insurance arrangements in effect, all of which are term-based arrangements expiring between the years 2009 and 2013, the Company determined that the liability for future benefits was not significant. 11 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, 2007. Results of Operations Total interest income increased by $241,995 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2007, while interest expense on deposits and other borrowings increased by $226,309 over the same period. The increase in interest income was attributable primarily to an increase in average loans outstanding. Growth in interest-earning assets was partially offset by recent reductions in interest rates which led to immediate decreases in federal funds interest as well as interest on loans indexed to the prime lending rate. The increase in interest expense was due to growth in deposits and to the migration of funds by customers from lower-yielding transaction accounts to higher-yielding time deposits. The aforementioned decrease in interest rates did not have as great an impact on interest expense as deposits have not repriced as quickly as loans and federal funds sold, thus leading to a decrease in the bank's net interest margin. The result was a slight increase in net interest income of $15,686 or 0.55% in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period last year. The provision for loan losses was $75,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and $60,000 for the same period in 2007. The reserve for loan losses at March 31, 2008 was approximately 1.04% of total loans. Management believes the provision and the resulting allowance for loan losses are adequate. Noninterest income was $482,428 in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $573,689 in the first quarter of 2007. Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $99,344, or 84.06% due to the introduction of an overdraft privilege program in the second quarter of 2007. However, other income decreased by $232,175 due to the recognition in March 2007 of earnings of approximately $191,000 from the Bank's investment in a Small Business Investment Company. Noninterest expenses increased by $153,587, or 7.03%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase came as a result of normal increases in salaries, benefits and other operating expenses. The decreases in net interest margin and noninterest income combined with the increase in noninterest expenses led to a decrease in net income before taxes of $244,162, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to the same quarter in 2007. Income tax expense decreased accordingly from $362,500 for the first quarter of 2007 to $271,000 for the first quarter of 2008 resulting in a decrease in net income of $152,662, to $691,300, for the quarter compared to $843,962 for the same period last year. Financial Condition Total assets increased by $889,835, or 0.25%, from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2008. Net loans decreased by $602,925, federal funds sold decreased by $219,900 and investment securities decreased by $797,216. The cash value of life insurance increased as the Bank made an additional investment of $2,000,000 in bank-owned life insurance during the quarter. 12 Part I. Financial Information Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deposits increased by $725,421, or 0.23%, from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2008. The slower deposit growth came as management sought to lower deposit rates in conjunction with the decreases in rates on loans and federal funds sold. The decrease in other liabilities was attributable to the Bank's contribution of $949,743 to the employee defined benefit pension plan. Shareholders' equity totaled $30,897,162 at March 31, 2008 compared to $30,290,873 at December 31, 2007. The $606,289 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 of $275,972, less the payment of dividends of $360,983. 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, 2008. No balances were outstanding on these lines at March 31, 2008 or December 31, 2007. 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 March 31, 2008 and December 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, 2008, and December 31, 2007. The unused credit line from the Federal Home Loan Bank as of March 31, 2008 is approximately $44,100,000. 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. 13 Part I.
