National Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2008

(Unaudited)

($ in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

Note (1) General

 

The consolidated financial statements of National Bankshares, Inc. (NBI) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The National Bank of Blacksburg (NBB) and National Bankshares Financial Services, Inc. (NBFS) (collectively, 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, 2008 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 2007 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 NBI and its subsidiaries an opportunity to acquire shares of NBI common stock. The purpose of the 1999 Stock Option Plan is to promote the success of NBI 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 NBI 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 NBI. 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 NBI. At September 30, 2008, there were 286,000 additional shares available for grant under the plan. There were no nonvested options outstanding at September 30, 2008.

Compensation expense is calculated using the Black-Scholes model and is amortized over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. There have been no grants of stock options in 2008.

Because no options have been granted in 2008 and all options were fully vested at December 31, 2007, there is no expense included in net income.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, there were no stock options granted and 4,000 options were exercised with an intrinsic value of $20,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 there were no stock options granted and 10,000 options were exercised with an intrinsic value of $88,500.

The Company had 194 securities with a fair value of $130,678 which were temporarily impaired at September 30, 2008. The total unrealized loss on these securities was $7,280. Of the temporarily impaired total, 24 securities with a fair value of $13,728 and an unrealized loss of $2,091 have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more. All of these securities are investment grade bonds. Most were issued by companies in the financial sector and have intermediate-term maturities. Management monitors the financial markets and the quality of individual investments on an ongoing basis. Significant turmoil and uncertainty have recently impacted the market value of investments. However, the Company has the intent and ability to hold these bonds to maturity, and the quality of individual investments is regularly monitored. For these reasons, management believes that its evaluation that the losses associated with the securities portfolio are temporary is justified. Management’s conclusions could change if market conditions become less volatile and circumstances surrounding the quality of specific bonds indicate that the value is permanently impaired.

 

Note (5) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)). The Statement will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions. SFAS 141(R) establishes the criteria for how an acquiring entity in a business combination recognizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. Acquisition related costs including finder's fees, advisory, legal, accounting valuation and other professional and consulting fees are required to be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early implementation is not permitted. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 141(R) to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 160 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 161 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS 162 becomes effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public

 

15

 

 

 

Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 162 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP 157-2). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The delay is intended to allow the FASB and constituents additional time to consider the effect of various implementation issues that have arisen, or that may arise, from the application of SFAS 157. FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for items within the scope of this FSP. Examples of items to which the deferral would and would not apply are listed in the FSP. The Company does not expect the implementation of FSP 157-2 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3). This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited.  The Company is currently evaluating whether FSP 142-3 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.  

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. The FSP requires that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the implementation of FSP APB 14-1 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active (FSP 157-3). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. This FSP was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued.

Note (7) Fair Value Measurements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and

 

16

 

 

 

enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

•  

 

Level 1 –

  

inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

 

 

 

Level 2 –

  

inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

 

 

 

Level 3 –

  

inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

Securities

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, securities are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy and fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Currently, all of the Company’s securities are considered to be Level 2 securities.

 

Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are required to be measured at the lower of cost or fair value. Under SFAS 157, market value is to represent fair value. Management obtains quotes or bids on all or part of these loans directly from the purchasing financial institutions. Premiums received or to be received on the quotes or bids are indicative of the fact that cost is lower than fair value. At September 30, 2008, the entire balance of loans held for sale was recorded at its cost.

Impaired loans  

SFAS 157 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisal or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral.

Other Real Estate Owned  

Certain assets such as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value less cost to sell. We believe that the fair value component in its valuation follows the provisions of SFAS 157.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the description of our “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Form 10-Q.

There have been historical disruptions in the financial system in the United States during the past year. While the Company has not been significantly negatively impacted during the recent economic crisis, continuation of turbulence in large portions of the global financial markets, particularly if it worsens, could impact the Company’s performance. The impact could be direct, by affecting revenues and the value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, or it could be indirect, by affecting the economy generally. Although the Company’s markets have not been dramatically affected, large declines in housing values in other geographic areas of the country have resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by some financial institutions in the United States. Concerns about the stability of the U.S. financial markets generally have reduced the availability of funding to some financial institutions, leading to a tightening of credit, reduction of business activity and increased market volatility. It is not clear at this time what impact the EESA or other liquidity and funding initiatives of the Treasury and other bank regulatory agencies that have been announced or other programs that may be initiated in the future will have on financial markets and the financial services industry. The extreme levels of volatility and limited credit availability could continue to affect the U.S. banking industry and the broader U.S. and global economies, which would have an adverse effect on all financial institutions, including the Company.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

General

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based in large part upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These accounting principles are complex and require management to apply significant judgment to various accounting, reporting, and disclosure matters.  Management must use assumptions, judgments and estimates when applying these principles where precise measurements are not possible or practical.  These policies are critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates.  Changes in such judgments, assumptions or estimates may have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.  Actual results, in fact, could differ from initial estimates.

The accounting policies with the greatest uncertainty and that require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and the greatest likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions, or using different assumptions, are our allowance for loan losses and our accounting for core deposit intangibles, both of which are described below.

 

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) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (SFAS 5), which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable, and (ii) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for

 

18

 

 

 

Impairment of a Loan (SFAS 114), 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 includes two basic components: estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans that are determined to be impaired, and estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan portfolio. Under SFAS 114, an individual loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. An individually evaluated loan that is determined not to be impaired under SFAS 114 is evaluated under SFAS 5 when specific characteristics of the loan indicate that it is probable there would be estimated credit losses in a group of loans with those characteristics.

SFAS 114 does not specify how an institution should identify loans that are to be evaluated for collectibility, nor does it specify how an institution should determine that a loan is impaired. NBI uses its standard loan review procedures in making those judgments so that allowance estimates are based on a comprehensive, well-documented, and consistently applied analysis of the loan portfolio. Also the loan loss allowance takes into consideration all available information existing as of the financial statement date, including environmental factors such as industry, geographical, economic, and political considerations. For loans within the scope of SFAS 114 that are individually evaluated and found to be impaired, the associated allowance is based on upon one of the three impairment measurement methods specified in SFAS 114.

All other loans, including individually evaluated loans determined not to be impaired under SFAS 114, are included in a group of loans that are measured under SFAS 5 to provide for estimated credit losses that have been incurred on groups of loans with similar risk characteristics. Our methodology for measuring estimated credit losses on groups of loans with similar risk characteristics in accordance with SFAS 5 is based on each group’s historical net charge-off rate, adjusted for the effects of the qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses as of the evaluation date to differ from the group’s historical loss experience.

Finally, a component of the allowance may be labeled “unallocated” and is appropriate when it reflects estimated credit losses determined in accordance with GAAP, and when it is properly supported and documented.

 

Core Deposit Intangibles

 

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). 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, SFAS 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 SFAS 142 and therefore any intangible asset arising from such transactions remained subject to amortization over its estimated useful life.

In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions (SFAS 147). SFAS 147 amends previous interpretive guidance on the application of the purchase method of accounting to acquisitions of financial institutions, and requires the application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142 to branch acquisitions if such transactions meet the definition of a business combination. The provisions of SFAS 147 do not apply to transactions between two or more mutual enterprises. In addition, SFAS 147 amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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 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.

Each of the Company’s key growth indicators improved in the first nine months of 2008. Growth in net loans and deposits was internally generated. New loans were added to the portfolio without compromising NBB’s traditionally conservative underwriting standards. Growth in deposits was moderate and managed with the goal of minimizing any negative impact on the net interest margin.

Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2008, all of which were nonaccrual loans, were $2,003, or 0.37% of loans net of unearned income. Nonperforming loans increased by $853 over the $1,150 reported on December 31, 2007. Loans past due 90 days or more at the end of the third quarter of 2008 were $1,324, up $143 from the total at year-end. Although there were increases in nonperforming loans from year-end, the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans remains low when compared with peers and is consistent with the Company’s conservative underwriting policies.

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income for the first nine months of 2008 was $23,175, an increase of $1,485, or 6.85%, when compared with the same period in 2007. This increase is attributable to an increase in the volume of earning assets, particularly loans, and a decrease in higher rate certificates of deposit.

The amount of net interest income earned is affected by various factors. These include changes in market interest rates due to the Federal Reserve Board’s monetary policy, as well as the level and composition of the earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company has some ability to respond to interest rate movements and reduce volatility in the net interest margin. However, the frequency and magnitude of changes in market interest rates are difficult to predict, and these changes may have a greater impact on net interest income than any adjustments by management.

The Federal funds interest rate has been lowered eight times since September 30, 2007. If interest rates stabilize at their current level or drop further in the future, it should have a positive effect. Offsetting the effect of declining interest rates are higher-rate investment securities, which can be called when interest rates fall, so that the issuer can refinance its debt at a lower rate. In addition, in order to retain loans in a competitive market, interest rates must sometimes be lowered on existing loans. If interest rates rise, particularly if they increase quickly, there could be a negative effect on earnings. The Company’s interest-bearing liabilities reprice more quickly than its interest-earning assets. In the current uncertain economy, it is difficult to predict the direction and timing of future interest rate changes.

The primary source of funds used to support the Company’s interest-earning assets is deposits. Deposits are obtained in the Company’s trade area through traditional marketing techniques. Other funding sources, such as the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank, while available, are only used occasionally. The cost of funds is dependent on interest rate levels and competitive factors, which can limit the ability of the Company to react to interest rate movements.

 

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 was $515. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at the end of the first nine months of 2008 was 0.99%, which compares to 1.00% at December 31, 2007. The net charge-off ratio was 0.08% at September 30, 2008 and 0.07% at December 31, 2007.

During the third quarter of 2008, management added to the provision for loan losses in an amount management believes is sufficient to account for the growth in the loan portfolio. Nonperforming loans have increased from $1,150 at year-end to $2,003 at September 30, 2008, while the ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans declined from 453.83% to 271.34%. Despite the increase in total nonperforming loans, management remains comfortable with the ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans. The nonperforming loans total is made up of two loans, which management considers well-collateralized. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans at September 30, 2008 remains at a reasonable level, 0.99%, utilizing the methodology described above in detail in “Allowance for Loan Losses”. Especially in this uncertain economic environment, loan quality indicators are closely monitored, and management regularly evaluates the sufficiency of the allowance for loan losses.

Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $2,502 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This is an increase of $35, or 1.42%, from the same period of 2007. This category is affected by the number of deposit accounts, the level of service charge fees and the number of checking account overdrafts. The growth resulted from an increase in the level of service charge fees.

Other service charges and fees includes charges for official checks, income from the sale of checks to customers, safe deposit rent, fees for letters of credit and the income earned from commission on the sale of credit life, accident and health insurance. These fees were $247 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $250 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

 

21

 

 

 

Internal growth from a higher volume of credit card accounts, transactions and merchant transactions resulted in credit card fees of $2,101 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This was an increase of $73, or 3.60%, over the $2,028 total reported for the same period last year.

Trust fees, at $929, were down by $90, or 8.83%, from the $1,019 earned in the first three quarters of 2007. Trust income varies depending on the number of Trust accounts, the types of accounts under management and financial market conditions. The decline in Trust fees is attributable to a combination of all three factors. The financial markets have declined during 2008, negatively affecting income. In addition, there are fewer accounts under management. The mix of account types also affected Trust fees during the quarter, but the fact that there were fewer estate accounts in 2008 than in 2007 is the reason for the majority of the decline in Trust fees.

Other income is income that cannot be classified in another category. Some examples include net gains from the sales of fixed assets, rent from foreclosed properties, income from the increase in the cash value of life insurance and revenue from investment and insurance sales. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $760. This represents an increase of $9, or 1.20%, when compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company recognized $290 in gains from the initial public offering of Visa, Inc. When the credit card processor went public, the Company was required to sell a portion of its Class B shares. This gain, offset by losses in called investment securities, is the source of the $189 in net realized securities gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Salary and benefits expense increased 1.88%, from $8,240 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $8,395 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The Company has made a concerted effort to control these costs.

Occupancy, furniture and fixtures expense was $1,328 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $12, or 0.91%, from the same period last year. The small increase reflects the Company’s emphasis on containing controllable expenses.

Data processing and ATM expense was $1,033 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $175, or 20.40% over the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Most of the change is attributable to increased costs associated with an upgrade of the Company’s data and telecommunications infrastructure and to increased maintenance expense for an investment in data processing software and hardware for branch capture and merchant capture check processing.

Credit card processing expense was $1,570 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $15 from the total for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This expense is driven by the volume of credit card, debit card and merchant accounts and transactions.

The expense for intangibles and goodwill amortization is related to acquisitions. There were no acquisitions in the past year, and certain expenses have been fully amortized. This accounts for the decline from $853 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $841 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Net costs of other real estate owned have decreased from $71 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $64 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This expense category varies with the number of other real estate owned properties and the expenses associated with each.

The category of other operating expenses includes noninterest expense items such as franchise taxes, professional services, stationery and supplies, telephone costs, postage and charitable donations. Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $3,063. This reflects an increase of $125, or 4.25%, when compared with the same period in 2007.

Securities

 

The total amortized cost of securities available for sale and securities held to maturity at September 30, 2008 was $281,706 and total fair value was $276,676. At September 30, 2008 the Company held individual securities with a total fair value of $130,678 that had a total unrealized loss of $7,280. Of this total, securities with a fair value of $13,728 and unrealized loss of $2,091 have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more. Management considers the decline in fair value in the securities portfolio to be a temporary impairment. Management’s evaluation is based largely on the following considerations:

 

Each of the investment securities with an unrealized loss remains rated as investment grade by independent rating agencies.

 

Upheaval and uncertainty in financial markets have negatively impacted the value of investment securities, particularly those issued by firms with ties to the financial sector, which constitute a majority of temporarily impaired securities in the Company’s investment portfolio. The future prospects of issuers have changed quickly because of government rescue plans, mergers and buyouts and corporate-to-bank charter conversions.

 

To mitigate market price risk, the Company has the intent and ability to hold its investments to maturity or until costs are recovered. Several temporarily impaired securities will mature in the short to intermediate term.

Management regularly monitors the quality of the securities portfolio and management closely follows the uncertainty in the economy and the volatility in financial markets. The value of individual securities will be written down if the decline in fair value is considered to be other than temporary based upon the totality of circumstances.

The Company’s total loans increased from $524,773 at year-end 2007 to $547,952 at September 30, 2008. The $23,179, or 4.42% increase, is the result of growth in the commercial and industrial, real estate mortgage and real estate construction categories, partially offset by a slight drop in real estate mortgage loans and a decline in loans to individuals.

Among the four loan categories, real estate construction loans have experienced the greatest percentage of growth. At December 31, 2007 there was $46,697 in real estate construction loans, and at September 30, 2008 the total increased 36.80% to $63,880. Commercial and industrial loans grew by 7.30%, from $216,830 at year-end 2007 to $232,648 at the end of the third quarter of 2008. Real estate mortgage loans were at $144,510 at September 30, 2008 and $145,542 at December 31, 2007, a decrease of

 

23

 

 

 

$1,032 or 0.71%. Because of the nature of real estate construction loans, a portion of the increase in that category is seasonal. It is NBB’s policy to require a commitment for permanent mortgage financing from a secondary market mortgage lender prior to approving a residential construction loan. NBB converts most commercial real estate construction loans to permanent commercial and industrial loans.

The commercial and industrial loans category has grown as interest rates have declined and loans with other lenders were refinanced with NBB.

The 7.60% decline in loans to individuals continues a trend that has been evident over the past several years. The availability of low cost dealer auto loans and other products, such as home equity lines of credit, make traditional consumer installment loans less attractive to customers.

Total deposits have increased by 1.24%, from $776,339 at December 31, 2007 to $785,986 at September 30, 2008. The growth was internally generated and was not the result of acquisitions. There has been growth in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and in savings and time deposits. This growth was offset by a small decline of 0.83% in interest-bearing demand deposits, from $237,772 at the end of 2007 to $235,809 at September 30, 2008. We have been attempting to balance the acquisition of interest-bearing deposits, particularly time deposits, with the demand for loans to maintain and enhance our interest rate margin.

 

Liquidity

 

Liquidity measures the Company’s ability to provide sufficient cash flow to meet its financial commitments, to fund additional loan demand and to handle withdrawals of existing deposits. Sources of liquidity include deposits, loan principal and interest repayments, sales, calls and maturities of securities and short-term borrowing. The Company has other available sources of liquidity. They include lines of credit with a correspondent bank, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and Federal Reserve Bank discount window borrowings.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $9,720, which compares to $11,226 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $15,954, compared to $3,420 provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $6,421, compared to $17,871 used in financing activities in the same period last year.

At September 30, 2008, management is unaware of any commitment or trend that would have a material effect on liquidity.

 

Capital Resources

 

Total stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2008 was $109,473, an increase of $4,673 from December 31, 2007. The Tier I and Tier II risk-based capital ratios at September 30, 2008 were 15.58% and 16.43%, respectively.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

In the normal course of business, NBB extends lines of credit to its customers. 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 NBB’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 can draw funds. A sale of loans would also be an option.

 

The Company sells mortgages on the secondary market for which there are recourse agreements should the borrower default.

 

24

 

 

 

There were no material changes in these off-balance sheet arrangements during the first nine months of 2008, except for regular and normal seasonal fluctuations in loan commitment totals.

 

 

 

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, 2007 in the Company’s 2007 Form 10-K.

 

 

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2008 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, the Company believes that no system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected.

 

Part II

Other Information

 

 

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

 

There are no pending or threatened legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which the property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject that, in the opinion of management, may materially impact the financial condition of the Company.

 

 

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

 

In addition to the “Risk Factors” previously disclosed in Item 1A of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the factors discussed under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q, the following additional risks and uncertainties should be considered:

 

If the current economic environment continues to deteriorate, there could be significant challenges for us.

We are doing business in an uncertain economic environment. A possible national recession with a deterioration in local economic conditions could result in higher loan delinquencies, increases in foreclosures, greater difficulty in liquidating OREO, declining values of real estate loan collateral and losses in the securities portfolio.

 

If our industry faces increased regulation because of recently enacted or future legislation, there may be an adverse impact on us.

The impact of recently enacted legislation, in particular EESA, and actions by the FDIC cannot be predicted at this time. If there is increased regulation of the banking industry, compliance with the regulations may increase our costs and limit our ability to pursue business opportunities. We are likely to be required to pay significantly higher

 

25

 

 

 

FDIC premiums because market conditions have depleted the FDIC insurance fund and reduced the ratio of reserves to excess deposits. In addition, other future legislation may be enacted in response to the economic crisis that could negatively affect us.
