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 June 30, 2008 and for the periods ended June 30, 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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 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 June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. 2008 2007 ------------- -------------- Balance, beginning $ 2,757,745 $ 2,901,997 Provision charged to expense 200,000 135,000 Recoveries of amounts charged off 162,911 46,358 Amounts charged off (330,901) (139,585) ------------- -------------- Balance, ending $ 2,789,755 $ 2,943,770 ============= ============== 8 Grayson Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 follows: 2008 2007 ------------- -------------- Tax at statutory federal rate $ 615,504 $ 791,143 Tax exempt interest income (99,947) (84,899) Other tax exempt income (93,807) (43,192) Other 45,250 32,948 ------------- -------------- $ 467,000 $ 696,000 ============= ============== 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 six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. 2008 2007 ------------- -------------- Service cost $ 195,790 $ 193,828 Interest cost 183,948 178,916 Expected return on plan assets (221,218) (183,544) Amortization of net obligation at transition (18) (18) Amortization of prior service cost 5,032 5,032 Amortization of net (gain) or loss 25,864 38,886 ------------- -------------- Net periodic benefit cost $ 189,398 $ 233,100 ============= ============== 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 June 30, 2008 and 2007 is as follows: 2008 2007 ------------- -------------- Commitments to extend credit $ 18,938,289 $ 20,959,836 Standby letters of credit - - ------------- -------------- $ 18,938,289 $ 20,959,836 ============= ============== 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. 9 Grayson Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies, continued 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. 10 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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.

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. Note 9. Subsequent Event On August 11, 2008, S&P downgraded the credit rating of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) to a rating of A and they remained on a negative credit watch. Due to this downgrade, the valuation of our preferred stock in FHLMC has been reduced significantly. Management is assessing this change in circumstances for other than temporary impairment. 12 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 decreased by $299,459 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2007, while interest expense on deposits and other borrowings decreased by $35,619 over the same period. The decrease in interest income was attributable primarily to decreases in interest rates. Since September 2007, the Federal Reserve has lowered its target overnight borrowing rate by 3.25%, resulting in immediate reductions in federal funds interest as well as interest on loans indexed to the prime lending rate. The 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. An increase in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank also increased interest expense. The result was a decrease in net interest income of $263,840, or 8.57% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The provision for loan losses was $125,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and $75,000 for the same period in 2007. The increase was due to a specific charge-off on a commercial loan. The reserve for loan losses at June 30, 2008 was approximately 1.03% of total loans. Management believes the provision and the resulting allowance for loan losses are adequate. Noninterest income was $600,429 in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $433,806 in the second quarter of 2007. The majority of the increase came as a result of life insurance proceeds of approximately $120,000. Noninterest expenses increased by $125,208, or 5.40%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Normal increases in salary and benefit costs accounted for $71,592 of this increase. The decrease in net interest income combined with the increase in noninterest expense was the principal cause of the decrease in net income before taxes of $272,425 for the second quarter of 2008, compared to the same quarter in 2007. Income tax expense decreased accordingly to $196,000 in the quarter, from $333,500 in the second quarter of 2007. As a result, net income decreased by $134,925, or 17.15%, to $652,005 compared to $786,930 last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, total interest income decreased by $57,464 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, while interest expense increased by $190,690 over the same period. This resulted in a decrease in net interest income of $248,154, or 4.17%. As stated above, the decrease in interest income was primarily the result of decreases in interest rates. The increase in interest expense came primarily as a result of increased borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Noninterest income increased by $75,362 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Service charges on deposit accounts increased due to the implementation of an overdraft privilege program in the second quarter of 2007. Other income decreased due to earnings recognized in the first quarter of 2007 from the Bank's investment in a Small Business Investment Company, that did not recur in 2008. 13 Part I. Financial Information Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As indicated above, increases in normal operating costs resulted in an increase in noninterest expense of $278,795, or 6.19%, for the first six months of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007. Overall, the decrease in net interest income and the increase in noninterest expense led to a decrease in net income of $287,587, or 17.63%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. Financial Condition Total assets increased by $6,139,150, or 1.70%, from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008. Net loans increased by $5,602,374, federal funds sold decreased by $12,786,232 and investment securities increased by $9,809,626. The decrease in federal funds sold came as balances were used to fund the increases in loans and investment securities. 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 first quarter of 2008. Total deposits increased by $1,975,168, or 0.64%, from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008. The slower deposit growth came as management moved to lower deposit rates in conjunction with the decreases in rates on loans and federal funds sold. Long-term debt increased from $20,000,000 at December 31, 2007, to $25,000,000 at June 30, 2008 as the Bank sought to lock in lower-rate funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Other liabilities decreased from $1,485,439 at December 31, 2007 to $522,940 at June 30, 2008 due to a contribution of $949,743 to the employee defined benefit pension plan. Shareholders' equity totaled $30,359,554 at June 30, 2008 compared to $30,290,873 at December 31, 2007. The $68,681 increase was the result of earnings for the six months combined with a decrease in the market value of securities classified as available for sale, and the payment of dividends of $721,967. 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 June 30, 2008. No balances were outstanding on these lines at June 30, 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 $15,000,000 at June 30, 2008 and $10,000,000 at December 31, 2007. Borrowings from Deutsche Bank, which are secured by the pledging of specific investment securities, totaled $10,000,000 at each of June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007. The unused credit line from the Federal Home Loan Bank as of June 30, 2008 is approximately $40,000,000. 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. 14 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.

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.
