thousands, except share and per share data) Note (1) The consolidated financial statements of National Bankshares, Inc. (Bankshares) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The National Bank of Blacksburg (NBB) and National Bankshares Financial Services, Inc. (NBFS), (the Company), conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. The accompanying interim period consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year or any other interim period. The interim period consolidated financial statements and financial information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2005 Form 10-K. The Company posts all reports required to be filed under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 on its web site at www.nationalbankshares.com. Note (2) Stock-Based Compensation The Company adopted the National Bankshares, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan to give key employees of Bankshares and its subsidiaries an opportunity to acquire shares of National Bankshares, Inc. common stock. The purpose of the 1999 Stock Option Plan is to promote the success of Bankshares and its subsidiaries by providing an incentive to key employees that enhances the identification of their personal interest with the long term financial success of the Company and with growth in stockholder value. Under the 1999 Stock Option Plan, up to 500,000 shares of Bankshares common stock may be granted. The 1999 Stock Option Plan is administered by the Stock Option Committee, which is the NBI Board of Directors' Compensation Committee, made up entirely of independent directors of National Bankshares, Inc. The Stock Option Committee may determine whether options are incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options and may determine the other terms of grants, such as number of shares, term, a vesting schedule, and the exercise price. The 1999 Stock Option Plan limits the maximum term of any option granted to ten years, states that options may be granted at not less than fair market value on the date of the grant and contains certain other limitations on the exercisability of incentive stock options. The options generally vest 25% after one year, 50% after two years, 75% after three years and 100% after four years. On December 29, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors passed a resolution stating that all 142,000 previously granted, but unvested, stock options be immediately vested. The vesting was made subject to the provision that any shares of NBI common stock obtained by an option grantee by exercise of an option subject to accelerated vesting may not be sold or otherwise transferred prior to the expiration of the option's original vesting period. This action was taken to reduce the impact of the "Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment" on the Company's earnings over the remaining vesting period of the stock options. At the discretion of the Stock Option Committee options may be awarded with the provision that they may be accelerated upon a change of control, merger, consolidation, sale or dissolution of National Bankshares, Inc. At September 30, 2006, there were 286,000 additional shares available for grant under the plan. Compensation expense is calculated using the Black-Scholes model and is amortized over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. Please refer to the Company's Form 10-K dated December 31, 2005 for assumptions used. There have been no grants of stock options in 2006. 12 Weighted- Weighted Average Aggregate -Average Remaining Intrinsic Options Exercise Contractual Value Shares(1) Price Term ($000) -------------------------------------------- ----------- ------------ --------------- ------------ Outstanding at January 1, 2006 172,500 $19.90 Granted --- Exercised (10,710) $11.24 Forfeited or expired --- --- Outstanding at September 30, 2006 161,790 $20.48 7.3 $447 ======= ====== === ==== Exercisable at September 30, 2006 161,790 $20.48 7.3 $447 ======= ====== === ==== 1.

====== ======= ====== The Company had 240 securities with a fair value of $161,386 which were temporarily impaired at September 30, 2006. The total unrealized loss on these securities was $4,051. Losses are attributed to interest rate movements. Credit quality of the securities portfolio is continuously monitored by management, and there is no present concern with that quality. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until maturity. Therefore, the losses associated with these securities are considered temporary at September 30, 2006. All securities shown are above investment grade. Note (5) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement 140" (Statement 156). Statement 156 amends Statement 140 with respect to separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. Statement 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract and requires all servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. Statement 156 also permits entities to subsequently measure servicing assets and liabilities using an amortization method or fair value measurement method. Under the amortization method, servicing assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of servicing. Under the fair value measurement method, servicing assets are measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in net income for the period the change occurs. Adoption of Statement 156 is required as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning subsequent to September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement 156 at the beginning of 2007 to have a material impact. 17 In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 expresses the SEC staff's views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. These interpretations were issued to address diversity in practice and the potential under current practice for the build up of improper amounts on the balance sheet. SAB 108 expresses the SEC staff's view that a registrant's materiality evaluation of an identified unadjusted error should quantify the effects of the error on each financial statement and related financial statement disclosures and that prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB 108 also states that correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended. Such correction may be made the next time the registrant files the prior year financial statements. Registrants electing not to restate prior periods should reflect the effects of initially applying the guidance in SAB 108 in their annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The cumulative effect of the initial application should be reported in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that fiscal year and the offsetting adjustment should be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that year. Registrants should disclose the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected in the cumulative adjustment. The disclosure should also include when and how each error arose and the fact that the errors had previously been considered immaterial. The SEC staff encourages early application of the guidance in SAB 108 for interim periods of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 108 to have a material impact on its financial statements. In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140" (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 permits fair value measurement of any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. The Statement also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133. It establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. SFAS 155 also clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives. Finally, SFAS 155 amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on its financial statements. In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140" (SFAS 156). SFAS 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into certain servicing contracts. The Statement also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits an entity to choose between the amortization and fair value methods for subsequent measurements. At initial adoption, the Statement permits a one-time reclassification of available for sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights. SFAS 156 also requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 156 to have a material impact on its financial statements. 18 In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but may change current practice for some entities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on its financial statements. In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)" (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The funded status of a benefit plan will be measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the benefit obligation. For a pension plan, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation. For any other postretirement plan, the benefit obligation is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. SFAS 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The Statement also requires additional disclosure in the notes to financial statements about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation. The Company is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employers' fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. If SFAS 158 had been implemented as of December 31, 2005, it would have resulted in decreases in accumulated comprehensive income of approximately $2,928. Comprehensive income as shown on the Consolidated Statement of Equity at December 31, 2005 would have been $7,494. In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the implementation of FIN 48 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition The purpose of this discussion is to provide information about the financial condition and results of operations of National Bankshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company), which are not otherwise apparent from the consolidated financial statements and other information included in this report. Refer to the financial statements and other information included in this report as well as the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements as described in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Critical Accounting Policies General The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one element in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and (ii) SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. Our allowance for loan losses has three basic components; the formula allowance, the specific allowance and the unallocated allowance. Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when actual events occur. The formula allowance uses a historical loss view and certain 20 qualitative factors as an indicator of future losses and, as a result, could differ from the loss incurred in the future. However, since this history is updated with the most recent loss information, the errors that might otherwise occur are mitigated. The specific allowance uses various techniques to arrive at an estimate of loss. Expected cash flows and fair market value of collateral are used to estimate these losses. The use of these values is inherently subjective and our actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates. The unallocated allowance captures losses that are attributable to various economic events, industry or geographic sectors, whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized in either the formula or specific allowance. Core deposit intangibles Effective January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Accordingly, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its estimated useful life, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. Additionally, Statement 142 requires that acquired intangible assets (such as core deposit intangibles) be separately recognized if the benefit of the asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged and amortized over its estimated useful life. Branch acquisition transactions were outside the scope of the Statement and therefore any intangible asset arising from such transactions remained subject to amortization over their estimated useful life. In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions. The Statement amends previous interpretive guidance on the application of the purchase method of accounting to acquisitions of financial institutions, and requires the application of Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and Statement No. 142 to branch acquisitions if such transactions meet the definition of a business combination. The provisions of the Statement do not apply to transactions between two or more mutual enterprises. In addition, the Statement amends Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, to include in its scope core deposit intangibles of financial institutions. Accordingly, such intangibles are subject to a recoverability test based on undiscounted cash flows, and to the impairment recognition and measurement provisions required for other long-lived assets held and used. The Company has determined that the acquisitions that generated the intangible assets and goodwill on the consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $9,958 and $10,912 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, did not constitute the acquisition of a business, and therefore will continue to be amortized. Overview National Bankshares, Inc. (NBI) is a financial holding company located in Southwest Virginia. It conducts operations primarily through its full-service banking affiliate, the National Bank of Blacksburg. It also has one nonbanking affiliate, National Bankshares Financial Services, Inc., which offers investment and insurance products. Net income derived from the nonbanking affiliate is not significant at this time or in the foreseeable future. NBI is a community bank operation with total assets of approximately $845 million. Company Activities in 2006 Until May 26, 2006, the Company operated two banking affiliates. On that date, its Bank of Tazewell County affiliate was merged into National Bank of Blacksburg. The National Bank of Blacksburg operates under the name of "National Bank". The merger of the Company's two banking affiliates offers bank customers more options in an expanded geographic area. It also provides operating efficiency through elimination of some duplicate functions. The Company plans to install state of the art check imaging equipment in the fourth quarter of 2006. This equipment will greatly enhance efficiency in the area of document processing and provide certain advantages to the Company's banking customers. 21 Performance Summary The following table shows NBI's key performance ratios for the periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and December 31, 2005. Per share data has been adjusted to reflect the effects of the March 31, 2006 2-for-1 stock split. September 30, September 30, December 31, 2006 2005 2005 ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Return on average assets 1.51% 1.51% 1.52% ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Return on average equity 13.34% 13.69% 13.73% ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Net interest margin (1) 4.18% 4.53% 4.45% ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Noninterest margin (2) 1.57% 1.82% 1.74% ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Basic net earnings per share $1.35 $1.31 $1.77 ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Fully diluted net earnings per share $1.34 $1.30 $1.76 ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- (1) Net Interest Margin: Year-to-date tax-equivalent net interest income divided by year-to-date average earning assets using a tax rate of 35%. (2) Noninterest Margin: Noninterest income (including securities gains and losses) less noninterest expense (excluding the provision for bad debts and income taxes) divided by average year-to-date assets. This is a non-GAAP financial measure of the level of noninterest income and expense. The return on average assets for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005 was 1.51%. The return on average equity experienced a decline. The net interest margin declined by 35 basis points when compared with September 30, 2005, and it is down 27 basis points when compared to year-end 2005. This decrease was due to rising interest rates. Interest expense has continued to grow at a faster pace than interest income. Growth The following table shows NBI's key growth indicators: September 30, 2006 September 30, 2005 December 31, 2005 ------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------- Securities $266,740 $263,943 $272,541 ------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------- Loans, net 492,353 493,240 487,162 ------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------- Deposits 742,793 732,177 745,649 ------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------- Total assets 844,997 828,907 841,498 ------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------- At September 30, 2006, total assets were $844,997, an increase of $16,090, or 1.94%, when compared to September 30, 2005. Total assets increased $3,499, or 0.42%, when compared to December 31, 2005. In order to reduce the compression of the net interest margin, management has exercised restraint when pricing large denomination time deposits. This approach has had a positive influence on profitability; however, it has slowed deposit growth. For a limited period during the third quarter of 2006, the Company's bank subsidiary offered two special time deposit products that were designed to attract new, smaller denomination deposits. These efforts helped to increase time deposit balances and total deposits for the quarter. (See also "Interest Expense"). Asset Quality Key asset quality indicators are shown below: September 30, 2006 September 30,2005 December 31, 2005 --------------------------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- Nonperforming loans $ 4 $ 251 $ 178 --------------------------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- Loans past due over 90 days 495 563 546 --------------------------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- Other real estate owned 390 429 376 --------------------------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- Allowance for loan losses to loans 1.06% 1.13% 1.11% --------------------------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- Net charge-off ratio 0.06% 0.18% 0.17% --------------------------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- 22 This data indicates that the level of nonperforming loans has declined, and at quarter-end there were no nonperforming loans. The level of loans past due 90 days or more has also declined. Asset quality remains excellent. Net Interest Income Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $22,171, a decrease of $1,530 from the same period in 2005. This was the result of a decrease in the net interest margin. A comparison of 2006 and 2005 indicates that the yield on earning assets increased by 18 basis points, while the cost to fund earning assets increased by 53 basis points. Together, these changes produced a decline in the net interest margin of 35 basis points. In a rising interest rate environment, the net interest margin is primarily affected by the ability of the securities and loan portfolios to re-price upward. If these portfolios, which constitute the majority of the Company's earning assets, do not keep a reasonable pace with the upward re-pricing of liabilities used to fund these assets then the net interest margin will decline. A comparison of yields on the securities and loan portfolios for the first nine months of 2006 and 2005 follows: For the period ended For the period ended September 30, 2006 September 30, 2005 ------------------------ --------------------------- -------------------------- Debit Securities 5.54% 5.61% ------------------------ --------------------------- ------------------------- Loans 7.09% 6.76% ------------------------ --------------------------- ------------------------- This table indicates that the yield on the securities portfolio declined 7 basis points from September 30, 2005 to September 30, 2006. The decline in yield occurred at the same time as the Company was required to pay more in interest for the liabilities that fund securities. The result negatively impacted net interest income and ultimately net income. The loan portfolio yield increased by 33 basis points, significantly offsetting rising funding costs. Assuming a stable interest rate environment, the net interest margin hould improve over time. Yields on earning assets, including securities and loans, will ultimately increase to reflect higher interest rates in the marketplace. This increase will help offset the more rapid increases in interest paid on deposits. Securities re-pricing is affected by several factors including maturities, call features, sales, variable rate characteristics for some bonds and principal repayments. In this report, under the section "Interest Rate Sensitivity" is a schedule showing the amount of investments the Company expects will mature, call, re-price or pay down in the time periods specified. Potential sales are not factored in that table. The Company does not anticipate selling a substantial number of securities in order to restructure the investment portfolio. To do so would likely result in losses caused by the decline in the current value of assets caused by rising interest rates. Any such losses could be avoided by holding the securities to maturity. In addition, the activation of call features is dependent upon the level of interest rates. Accordingly, the amount of bonds forecast to be called can vary from time to time. Loan re-pricing is a function of scheduled repayments, prepayments, rate change frequency and other factors such as rate caps and rate floors. Since the re-pricings depend upon the contractual terms of individual loans, the Company's has little flexibility in controlling interest rate risk in this area. The table under "Interest Rate Sensitivity" shows the amount of loans expected to re-price. Net Interest Income - Trends and Future Expectations Starting in mid-2004 and continuing through 2006, the Federal Reserve Board initiated a series of interest rate increases. These increases were designed to restore interest rates to historically more typical levels and to prevent inflation. Rate increases occurred at regular intervals, each at 25 basis points. 23 In its August 2006 meeting, the Federal Reserve Bank declined to raise interest rates. It is not known at this point in time whether this halt is permanent or temporary. A cessation of rate increases would eventually have a positive impact on the Company's net interest margin. Interest Expense Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $13,303, an increase of $3,218, or 31.9%, from the same period the prior year. As previously discussed, rising interest rates have been the major contributor to this increase. During periods of rising interest rates, interest-bearing demand deposits, and to a lesser degree savings deposits, migrate to higher rate, longer-term time deposits. Generally, as rates climb, more migration occurs. Given their re-pricing characteristics, interest-bearing demand deposits readily respond to any interest rate movement. In other words, increases or decreases in interest expense can occur quite quickly. As previously noted, during the third quarter the Company initiated two special time deposit offers in an effort to procure additional deposits. These efforts were successful. Some new time deposits were acquired and some existing deposits migrated to the special products. The Company's trade area continues to be highly competitive. Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 was $40, a $517 decrease from the same period ended September 30, 2005. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at the end of the first nine months of 2006 was 1.06%, which compares to 1.13% at the same period last year. The net charge-off ratio at September 30, 2006 was 0.06%, and it was 0.18% at September 30, 2005. The Company regularly reviews asset quality and re-evaluates the allowance for loan losses. An appropriate provision and allowance for loan losses is established for the bank, depending upon the quality of its loan portfolio. Because of the continued excellent overall quality of the loan portfolio and somewhat slower loan growth, it is management's judgment that the decrease in the provision for loan losses is justified and the allowance is appropriate and adequate. (See "Allowance for Loan Losses" under "Critical Accounting Policies".) Noninterest Income September 30, 2006 September 30, 2005 ----------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------- Service charges on deposits $2,532 $2,273 ----------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------- Other service charges and fees 292 224 ----------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------- Credit card fees 1,777 1,625 ----------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------- Trust fees 1,059 1,062 ----------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------- Other income 830 408 ----------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------- Realized securities gains (losses) 13 (5) ----------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------- Noninterest income is made up of several categories. Following is a description of each, as well as the factors that influence each. Service charges on deposit accounts consist of a variety of charges imposed on demand deposits, interest-bearing deposits and savings deposit accounts. These include, but are not limited to, the following: o Demand deposit monthly activity fees o Service charges for checks for which there are non-sufficient funds or overdraft charges o ATM transaction fees 24 The principal factors affecting current or future levels of income from this category are: o Internally generated growth o Acquisitions of other banks/branches or de novo branches o Adjustments to service charge structures Service charges on deposits were $2,532 at September 30, 2006, an increase of $259 or 11.4%. In early 2005 the Company increased its charge for each overdrawn item, and the amount of daily maximum charges was also increased. Other service charges and fees consist of several categories. The primary categories are listed below. o Fees for the issuance of official checks o Safe deposit box rent o Income from the sale of customer checks o Income from the sale of credit life and accident and health insurance Levels of income derived from other service charges and fees vary. Fees for the issuance of official checks and customer check sales tend to grow as the existing franchise grows and as new offices are added. Fee schedules, while subject to change, generally do not by themselves yield a significant increase in income when they change. The most significant growth in safe deposit box rent also comes with an expansion of offices. Safe deposit box fee schedules, which are already at competitive levels, are occasionally adjusted. Income derived from the sale of credit life insurance and accident and health insurance varies with loan volume. Other service charges and fees at September 30, 2006 were $292, as compared with $224 for the same period the prior year. Of the $68 increase, approximately $10 was due to increases in fees associated with cashing income tax refund checks. Another $16 came from increased fees for letters of credit. The remainder of the increase was in the safe deposit box, and credit life insurance categories. Credit card fees consist of three types of revenues. o Credit card transaction fees o Debit card transaction fees o Merchant fees In all three cases volume is critical to growth in income. For debit and credit cards the number of accounts, whether obtained from internal growth or by acquisition, is the key factor. Merchant fees also depend on the number of merchants in the Company's program, as well as the type of business and the level of transaction discounts associated with them. Credit card fees increased by $152 or 9.4% when September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 are compared. The increase was attributable to volume. Trust income is somewhat dependent upon market conditions and the number of estate accounts being handled at any given point in time. Financial market conditions, which affect the value of trust assets managed, can vary, leading to fluctuations in the related income. Over the past few years and into 2006, the financial markets have experienced a degree of volatility. Income from estates is also unpredictable. Trust income for the first nine months of 2006 was $1,059, compared to $1,062 from the previous year. Other income is used for types of income that cannot be classified with other categories of noninterest income. The category includes such things as: o Net gains on the sale of fixed assets o Rent on foreclosed property o Income from cash value life insurance o Other infrequent or minor forms of income o Revenue from investment and insurance sales 25 Given the nature of the items included in this category, trends or patterns are not identifiable. Other income increased $422 when September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 are compared. Of the $422 change, approximately $409 was attributable to increases in cash value associated with bank owned life insurance policies. Realized net gains and losses on securities include write-downs in certain investments in limited liability companies (LLC's) of which the Company is part owner, as well as sales, maturities and calls of securities. Realized gains and losses were $13 for the period ended September 30, 2006. The net gain was due to securities sold or called offset by write downs in the Company's investment in certain limited liability companies (LLC's). Noninterest Expense September 30, 2006 September 30, 2005 ----------------------------- --------------------------- ---------------------- Salaries and employee benefits $8,706 $8,534 ----------------------------- --------------------------- ---------------------- Occupancy and furniture and fixtures 1,479 1,450 ----------------------------- --------------------------- ---------------------- Data processing and ATM 922 1,172 ----------------------------- --------------------------- ---------------------- Credit card processing 1,361 1,270 ----------------------------- --------------------------- ---------------------- Intangibles and goodwill amortization 853 832 ----------------------------- --------------------------- ---------------------- Net costs of other real estate owned 16 244 ----------------------------- --------------------------- ---------------------- Other operating expenses 2,959 3,157 ----------------------------- --------------------------- ---------------------- Noninterest expense includes several categories. A brief description of the factors that affect each follows. In addition to employee salaries, the salaries and benefits expense category includes the costs of employment taxes and employee fringe benefits. Certain of these are: o Health insurance o Employee life insurance o Dental insurance o Executive compensation plans (1) o Qualified Pension plans (1) o Supplemental retirement plan (salary continuation agreements) o Employer FICA o Unemployment taxes (1) See the 2005 Form 10-K and the Proxy Statement for the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for further information. Salaries and employee benefits expense was $8,706 at September 30, 2006, an increase of $172 or 2.0% when compared with the same period in 2005. Included in the increase is an $180 expense associated with a supplemental retirement plan that provides for salary continuation agreements with selected officers of the Company and its affiliates. This expense was offset by income from bank owned life insurance on the plan participants. (See the discussion of "Other Income".) The Company employed 248 fulltime equivalent employees at September 30, 2006 and 272 at September 30, 2005. 26 Occupancy costs include such items as depreciation expense, maintenance of the properties, repairs and real estate taxes. At September 30, 2006, occupancy and furniture and fixture expense was $1,479, an increase of $29 or 2.0% over the end of the first nine months of last year. The increase was due to fluctuation in various accounts, none of which represent a material change. Data processing and ATM expense decreased by $250 when compared to September 30, 2005. A decline in maintenance cost of approximately $64 and a decrease in conversion expenses of $152 account for most of the decrease. Check imaging equipment to be installed in the fourth quarter of 2006 is expected to add approximately $8 per month to expense. Credit card processing includes costs associated with the processing of credit cards, debit cards and merchant transactions. These expenses are related to credit card income previously discussed in "Noninterest Income", and the comments in that section are applicable. Credit card processing expense was $1,361 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $91 from the same period in 2005. Volume accounted for the increase. Intangible expense is influenced by acquisitions, amortization schedules and impairment testing depending on the nature of the intangible. Core deposit intangibles are amortized while goodwill is subject to testing for impairment. Both generally increase with acquisitions. Intangibles amortization expense at September 30, 2006 was $853, an increase of $21 over the same period the previous year. The increase was associated with the acquisition of two branches in February 2005. Net cost of other real estate owned consists of losses on disposal, repairs, write-downs and other foreclosure costs. Net costs of other real estate owned were down $228 when compared to the first nine months of last year. This category can fluctuate substantially depending on the number of properties on hand, the gains or losses on sale and the amount of write-downs. Other operating expenses include all other forms of expense not classified elsewhere in the Company's statement of income. Included in this category are such items as stationery and supplies, franchise taxes, contributions, telephone, postage and other operating costs. Other operating expenses for the first nine months of 2006, at $2,959, were down $198 from the same period in the prior year, largely due to cost containment measures. Balance Sheet Year-to-date daily averages for the major balance sheet categories are as follows: Assets September 30, 2006 December 31, 2005 ------------------------------------- -------------------------- ---------------------- Interest-bearing deposits 10,490 14,819 Securities available for sale 163,997 151,431 Securities held to maturity 106,527 110,312 Mortgage loans held for sale 488 609 Real estate construction loans 27,178 26,926 Real estate mortgage loans 120,393 117,855 Commercial and industrial loans 240,035 200,799 Loans to individuals 104,223 148,088 Total Assets $ 835,494 $ 819,341 Liabilities and stockholders equity ------------------------------------- Noninterest-bearing demand deposits $ 110,329 $114,186 Interest-bearing demand deposits 222,523 204,522 Savings deposits 52,948 57,836 Time deposits 350,711 347,471 Other borrowings 562 705 Shareholders' equity $94,499 $90,470 27 Securities During the third quarter of 2006 the Company sold approximately $823 in securities held to maturity. These securities consisted of 46 mortgage-backed securities that paid down over time. The sales were consistent with accounting rules that permit such sales. Loans Total loans net of unearned income at September 30, 2006 were $497,605, an increase of $4,994 or approximately 1.0% from December 31, 2005. This equates to an annualized growth rate of approximately 1.4%. Deposits Total deposits at September 30, 2006 decreased by $2,856 from December 31, 2005. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $4,474 when September 30, 2006 is compared to December 31, 2005. During the same period, interest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $15,589, and time deposits increased by $22,463. Saving deposits during the period declined by $5,256. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net cash provided by operating activities was $11,143 for the period ended September 30, 2006, which compares to $11,497 for the same period the previous year. Net cash used in investing activities was $10,133 for the period ended September 30, 2006, and $8,547 for the period ended September 30, 2005. Net cash used by financing activities was $6,527 for the period ending September 30, 2006. Management is unaware of any commitment that would have a material and adverse effect on liquidity at September 30, 2006. Total shareholders' equity grew by $5,864 from December 31, 2005 to September 30, 2006. Earnings, the changes in unrealized gains and losses for securities available for sale and a dividend of $2,524 accounted for the net increase. During the first nine months of 2006, the Company repurchased 42,100 shares of its own stock for approximately $987. See Part II Item 2 of this report for further information regarding stock repurchases. The Tier I and Tier II risk-based capital ratios at September 30, 2006 were 14.1% and 15.0%, respectively. The Company's leverage capital ratio was 10.2% Interest Rate Sensitivity Following is a table showing repricing and maturity data for the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- September 30, 2006 --------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Assets 1Year 2Year 3Year 4Year 5Year >5Years --------------------------------------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ---------- ----------- Interest-bearing deposits 19,778 --- --- --- --- --- Securities available for sale 25,259 30,681 24,433 16,718 12,352 52,433 Securities held to maturity 12,788 6,624 11,876 20,456 15,602 37,518 Mortgage loans held for sale 223 --- --- --- --- --- Loans, net of unearned income 158,487 93,914 92,804 46,718 43,193 62,489 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ---------- ----------- Total interest earning assets 216,535 131,219 129,113 83,892 71,147 152,440 =========== =========== =========== =========== ========== =========== Cumulative 216,535 347,754 476,867 560,759 631,906 784,346 =========== =========== =========== =========== ========== =========== 28 Liabilities --------------------------------------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ---------- ----------- Interest-bearing demand deposits 210,022 --- --- --- --- --- Savings deposits 49,249 --- --- --- --- --- Time deposits 252,216 47,039 26,249 32,023 17,270 754 Other borrowings 76 --- --- --- --- --- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ---------- ----------- Total interest bearing liabilities 511,563 47,039 26,249 32,023 17,270 754 =========== =========== =========== =========== ========== =========== Cumulative 511,563 558,602 584,851 616,874 634,144 634,898 =========== =========== =========== =========== ========== =========== Gap (295,028) 84,180 102,864 51,869 53,877 151,686 =========== =========== =========== =========== ========== =========== Cumulative gap ratio 0.42 0.62 0.82 0.91 1.00 1.24 =========== =========== =========== =========== ========== =========== As shown in the above table, the Company is liability sensitive. In other words, the Company's interest-bearing liabilities reprice and/or mature at a faster rate than its interest-earning assets. During periods of rising interest rates, such as we have recently experienced, this causes the Company's net interest margin to decrease. This in turn has a negative impact on overall profitability. Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three Months ended September 30, 2006 Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $3,201, up $147 when compared to the same period the prior year. Basic earnings per share for the second quarter of 2006 were $0.46 compared to $.44 in the third quarter of 2005. Earnings Interest rates have been steadily rising throughout 2005 and 2006. Because the Company is liability sensitive, the rising rates have had an adverse impact on net interest income. As shown in the statement of profit and loss, interest income increased by $559, while interest expense during the same period increased by $875. This produced a decline in net interest income of $316, when the third quarter of 2006 and 2005 are compared. The provision for loan losses was $16 in the third quarter of 2006, a decrease from the $169 in the third quarter of 2005. Asset quality remains excellent. Therefore, based upon current information, the Company does not anticipate substantial additions to the allowance for loan losses. Noninterest income increased by $340 when the third quarter of 2006 and 2005 are compared. With the exception of realized gains and losses on securities, which declined by $340, all other categories improved. Comments made in the year-to-date discussion apply. Other income was up significantly because of income from bank-owned life insurance contracts. Noninterest expense was $5,396 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. This represents an increase of $17 from the same period last year. Comments made in the year-to-date discussion apply. Data processing expense declined when compared to 2005 because of acquisition-related computer conversion costs in 2005. The cost of other real estate owned has dropped substantially as foreclosed properties have been liquidated. In summary, the Company has experienced a decline in net interest income due to rising interest rates. To date, increases in the noninterest income areas, coupled with decreases in noninterest expense, have more than offset the decline in net interest income. The extent to which noninterest income and expense will continue to offset the decline in interest income is not currently known. If interest rates rise and the interest margin erodes further, it would 29 not be unreasonable to expect that net income could be negatively impacted. However, if interest rates remain stable, the Company's interest income could improve. Derivatives and Off Balance Sheet Items The Company is not a party to derivative financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks, such as futures, forwards, swaps and options. The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and recourse obligations in the normal course of business, to meet the financing needs of its customers. Management does not plan any future involvement in high- risk derivative products. The Company's banking affiliate extends lines of credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Amounts drawn upon these lines vary at any given time depending on the business needs of the customers. Standby letters of credit are also issued to the bank customers. There are two types of standby letters of credit. The first is a guarantee of payment to facilitate customer purchases. The second type is a performance letter of credit that guarantees a payment if the customer fails to perform a specific obligation. While it would be possible for customers to draw in full on approved lines of credit and letters of credit, historically this has not occurred. In the event of a sudden and substantial draw on these lines, the Company has its own lines of credit on which it could draw funds. Sale of the loans would also be an option. The Company also sells mortgages on the secondary market for which there are recourse agreements should the borrower default. Through three quarters of 2006, there have been no significant or unusual changes in these types of off balance sheet contractual obligations. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk The Company considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk and has systems in place to measure the exposure of net interest income to adverse movement in interest rates. Interest rate shock analyses provide management with an indication of potential economic loss due to future rate changes. There have not been any changes which would significantly alter the results disclosed as of December 31, 2005. (See "Interest Rate Sensitivity".) Item 4. Controls and Procedures Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2006. Based on that evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective to give reasonable assurance in alerting them in a timely fashion to material information relating to the Company that is required to be included in the reports the Company files under the Act. There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company's controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to allow timely decisions regarding its required disclosure. The Company believes that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected. 30 Part II Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings There were no material legal proceedings for the quarter ending September 30, 2006. Item 1A.
