Financial Statements March 31, 2007 (Unaudited) ($ In 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 three months ended March 31, 2007 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 2006 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. 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 March 31, 2007, 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, 2006 for assumptions used. There have been no grants of stock options in 2007. 10 Weighted- Weighted- Average Aggregate Average Remaining Intrinsic Exercise Contractual Value Options Shares Price Term ($000) ------------------------------------------- ------------ ------------ --------------- ------------ Outstanding at January 1, 2007 161,790 $20.46 Granted --- Exercised (6,000) 9.92 Forfeited or expired --- --- Outstanding at March 31, 2007 155,790 $20.87 6.8 $443 ======= ====== === ==== Exercisable at March 31, 2007 155,790 $20.87 6.8 $443 ======= ====== === ==== Because no options were granted in 2007 and all options were fully vested at December 31, 2006, there is no expense included in net income.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006 there were no stock options granted and 4,000 options were exercised with an intrinsic value of $54,000.

The total unrealized loss on these securities was $3,130. Losses are attributed to interest rate movements. Credit quality of the securities portfolio is continuously monitored by management. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until maturity. Therefore, the losses associated with these securities are considered temporary at March 31, 2007. All securities shown are above investment grade. Note (5) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 consolidated financial statements. In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" (SFAS 159). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at 14 specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument and is irrevocable. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157, "Fair Value Measurements". The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 159 may have on its consolidated financial statements but does not intend to adopt the Statement early.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 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 2006 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 15 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 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. 16 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, which does business as National Bank. It also has a 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. Performance Summary The following table shows NBI's key performance ratios for the period ended March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and 2005. Per share data has been adjusted to reflect the effects of a March 31, 2006 2-for-1 stock split. March 31, December 31, December 31, 2007 2006 2005 ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Return on average assets 1.46% 1.50% 1.52% ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Return on average equity 12.90% 13.41% 13.73% ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Net interest margin (1) 3.96% 4.13% 4.45% ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Noninterest margin (2) 1.46% 1.54% 1.74% ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Basic net earnings per share $0.45 $1.80 $1.77 ----------------------------------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Fully diluted net earnings per share $0.45 $1.80 $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 quarter of 2007 was 1.46%, down slightly from the 1.50% for the period ended December 31, 2006. The return on average equity also experienced a decline. The net interest margin declined by 17 basis points. 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: March 31, 2007 December 31, 2006 December 31, 2005 ------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------- ---------------------- Securities $288,005 $285,489 $272,541 ------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------- ---------------------- Loans, net 498,129 495,486 487,162 ------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------- ---------------------- Deposits 774,264 764,692 745,649 ------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------- ---------------------- Total assets 881,915 868,203 841,498 ------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------- ---------------------- At March 31, 2007 total assets were $881,915, an increase of $13,712 or 1.6%. If annualized, the growth rate would be approximately 6.4%. The level of asset growth during the first quarter of 2007 reflects the effects of a competitive loan market. Deposits grew by 1.3% in the first quarter of 2007. 17 Asset Quality Key asset quality indicators are shown below: March 31, 2007 December 31,2006 December 31, 2005 --------------------------------------------- ----------------------- --------------------- ---------------------- Nonperforming loans $ 1,132 $ --- $ 178 --------------------------------------------- ----------------------- --------------------- ---------------------- Loans past due over 90 days 327 681 546 --------------------------------------------- ----------------------- --------------------- ---------------------- Other real estate owned 251 390 376 --------------------------------------------- ----------------------- --------------------- ---------------------- Allowance for loan losses to loans 1.00% 1.03% 1.11% --------------------------------------------- ----------------------- --------------------- ---------------------- Net charge-off ratio 0.09% 0.07% 0.17% --------------------------------------------- ----------------------- --------------------- ---------------------- This data indicates that the level of nonperforming loans has increased, while the level of loans past due 90 days or more has declined. The increase in nonperforming loans is concentrated in a few credits. There has been no specific allocation to the allowance for loan losses for the additional nonperforming loans, as management believes that these credits are well collateralized. Measures of asset quality remain good when viewed from a historical perspective and when compared with peers. Other real estate owned continues to decline as properties foreclosed upon are sold. Net Interest Income Net interest income for the period ending March 31, 2007 was $7,114, a decline of $231 when compared to the same period in 2006. Until the third quarter of 2006 interest rate levels were continuously rising. During the period of rising interest rates the Company's interest-bearing liabilities rose at a faster pace than interest earning assets resulting in the compression in the interest rate spread. The Company continues to experience this compression, a portion of which is attributable to the increase in time deposits that was generated in 2006 by two special promotions at the Company's bank subsidiary. If interest rates remain stable, the compression of rates should improve as these time deposits mature. The following chart shows trends in asset yields and cost of liabilities. For the period ended March 31, 2007 December 31, 2006 December 31, 2005 -------------- ----------------- ----------------- Loans 7.35% 7.11% 6.78% Taxable securities 4.95% 4.89% 4.80% Non-taxable securities 6.36% 6.25% 6.33% Interest-bearing deposits 5.47% 5.08% 3.43% ----- ----- ----- Total interest-bearing deposits 6.68% 6.51% 6.29% ===== ===== ===== Interest-bearing liabilities 2.00% 1.87% 1.31% Saving deposits 0.50% 0.50% 0.45% Time deposits 4.47% 3.94% 3.23% Other borrowings 5.56% 6.19% 3.26% ----- ----- ----- Total interest-bearing liabilities 3.33% 2.94% 2.32% ===== ===== ===== Interest rate spread 3.35% 3.57% 3.97% ===== ===== ===== From December 31, 2005 to March 31, 2007, the yield on loans has increased by 57 basis points. During the same period, the yield on taxable securities has gone up by 15 basis points, with nontaxable securities increasing a nominal 3 basis points. Among the asset categories interest-bearing deposits, which reprice daily, experienced the highest level of increase. Among the categories of liabilities, interest-bearing demand deposit rates increased by 69 basis points from December 31, 2005 to March 31, 2007. Time deposit rates increased by 124 basis points. This is significant, not only because of the level of rate increases, but also because of the volume of deposits in the category. Saving deposit rates have been essentially flat throughout the period. Rate increases have occurred in the other borrowings 18 category, however because the dollar volume is not substantial, there is little impact on the net interest spread. There are three significant factors concerning net interest income. First, overall interest rates have stabilized. If rates remain stable, the net interest spread will improve. Second, the yield on nontaxable securities, which declined in 2006, has rebounded. At present, management is uncertain how this will affect portfolio yields. Third, during 2006 two time deposit promotions with special higher interest rates were offered. Higher-rate deposits from the first promotion began to mature in the first quarter of 2007. Deposits obtained in the second promotion will begin to mature in September of 2007. This should have the effect of decreasing the cost of time deposit costs, assuming that overall interest rates remain stable and competitive factors allow these deposits to reprice downward. Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses (net recovery) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 was $(3). The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at the end of the first three months of 2007 was 1.00%, which compares to 1.03% at December 31, 2006. The net charge-off ratio at March 31, 2007 was .09%, and it was .07% at March 31, 2006. The Company regularly reviews asset quality and re-evaluates the allowance for loan losses. Reviews are conducted and an appropriate provision and allowance for loan losses is established depending upon factors that are unique to the subsidiary bank and the quality of its loan portfolio. At present, management does not anticipate any significant additions to the Provision for Loan Losses. Management's opinion of current asset quality, evaluated in the context of historical experience, forms the basis of this position, despite the reported increase in nonperforming loans. (See "Allowance for Loan Losses" under "Critical Accounting Policies".) Noninterest Income March 31, 2007 March 31, 2006 March 31, 2005 ---------------------------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- Service charges on deposits $810 $815 $675 ---------------------------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- Other service charges and fees 83 109 87 ---------------------------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- Credit card fees 598 524 494 ---------------------------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- Trust fees 373 380 408 ---------------------------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- Other income 264 267 137 ---------------------------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- Realized securities gains (losses) 51 (36) (33) ---------------------------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ---------------------- 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 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 $810 at March 31, 2007, a decrease of $5. 19 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 March 31, 2007 were $83, as compared with $109 for the same period the prior year. As indicated above, this category, because of its nature varies from time to time. 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 $74 or 14.1% when March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 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 2007, the financial markets have experienced a degree of volatility. Income from estates is also unpredictable. Trust income for the first three months of 2007 was $373, a decrease of $7 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 Given the nature of the items included in this category, trends or patterns are not identifiable. Other income decreased $3 when March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 are compared. Realized net gains and (losses) on securities include equity adjustments 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 net gains and (losses) were $51 for the period ended March 31, 2007. The majority of this gain was attributable to equity adjustments in investments in limited liability companies (LLC's). 20 Noninterest Expense March 31, 2007 March 31, 2006 March 31, 2005 ----------------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------- Salaries and employee benefits $2,841 $2,911 $2,862 ----------------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------- Occupancy and furniture and fixtures 485 533 479 ----------------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------- Data processing and ATM 258 301 467 ----------------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------- Credit card processing 447 413 376 ----------------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------- Intangibles and goodwill amortization 284 284 266 ----------------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------- Net costs of other real estate owned 58 14 108 ----------------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------- Other operating expenses 884 1,043 1,131 ----------------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------- --------------------------- 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 2006 Form 10-K and the Proxy Statement for the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for further information. Salaries and employee benefits for the period ending March 31, 2007 were $2,841 a decline of $70 when compared to the same period in 2006. At March 31, 2007 the Company had 250 full time equivalent employees compared to 283 at March 31, 2006. The decline in salary expense came about from a drop in the number of employees which was the result of attrition following the May 2006 merger of the Company's two bank subsidiaries and the subsequent consolidation of several support functions. Occupancy expense for the first three months of 2007 was $485, down $48 from the same period in 2006. This category contains several types of expenses including depreciation, maintenance, lease expense and taxes and insurance. The net decrease from 2006 was primarily due to $35 in additional expense for signage in 2006. This additional expense for signs in 2006 was related to the merger of the Company's two banking affiliates. Data processing and ATM expense at March 31, 2007 decreased by $43 from the same period in 2006. Declines in data processing supplies, maintenance and communications line expense account for the decrease. Because of increases in volume, credit card processing expenses increased by $34, as compared with March 31, 2007. 21 Comparing the first three months of 2007 with the same period in 2006, net cost of other real estate owned increased by $44. Losses on the sale of OREO property were $30, and $7 in write-downs was taken on properties in the first quarter of 2007. Other foreclosure expense was $21. Other operating expenses include all other types of expense not classified elsewhere in the Company's statement of income. Because of management's ongoing cost containment measures, other operating expenses declined by $157 from March 31, 2006 to March 31, 2007. Balance Sheet Year-to-date daily averages for the major balance sheet categories are as follows: Assets March 31, 2007 December 31, 2006 ------------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------ Interest-bearing deposits $ 20,319 $ 13,457 Securities available for sale 167,419 164,421 Securities held to maturity 117,370 106,645 Mortgage loans held for sale 583 543 Real estate construction loans 37,090 29,308 Real estate mortgage loans 127,787 121,912 Commercial and industrial loans 213,091 232,758 Loans to individuals 123,072 110,967 Total Assets $ 867,945 $ 840,080 Liabilities and stockholders equity Noninterest-bearing demand deposits $ 102,982 $108,977 Interest-bearing demand deposits 227,740 221,927 Savings deposits 47,554 51,745 Time deposits 384,541 358,422 Other borrowings 73 420 Shareholders' equity $97,927 $94,194 Liquidity and Capital Resources Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,849 for the period ended March 31, 2007, which compares to $3,611 for the same period the previous year. Net cash used in investing activities was $15,021 for the period ended March 31, 2007, and $8,541 used for the period ended March 31, 2006. Net cash provided by financing activities was $9,515 for the period ending March 31, 2007. Management is unaware of any commitment that would have a material and adverse effect on liquidity at March 31, 2007. Total shareholders' equity grew by $3,068 from December 31, 2006 to March 31, 2007. Earnings and the changes in unrealized gains and losses for securities available for sale accounted for the net increase. During the first three months of 2007, the Company repurchased 4,800 shares of its own stock for approximately $115 at an average price of $24.20 (including broker commission). The Tier I and Tier II risk-based capital ratios at March 31, 2007 were 14.56% and 15.41%, respectively. The Company's leverage capital ratio was 10.21% 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, and swaps. The Company has certain written options related to the origination and sale of mortgage loans. 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 22 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's 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. During the first three months of 2007, there have been no significant or unusual changes in this area. 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, 2006 in the Company's Form 10-K. 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 March 31, 2007. 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. Part II Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings There were no material legal proceedings for the three months ended March 31, 2007. 23 Item 1A. Risk Factors No material changes from risk factors as previously disclosed. Item 2.
