($ 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 six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 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.

The Company had 314 securities with a fair value of $201,946 which were temporarily impaired at June 30, 2007. The total unrealized loss on these securities was $6,462. 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 June 30, 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 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. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 159 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 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 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

 

16

 

 

 

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 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.

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 half 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 13 basis points. This decrease was due to rising interest rates. Interest expense has continued to grow at a faster pace than interest income.

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 one credit. There has been no specific allocation to the allowance for loan losses for the single additional nonperforming loan, as management believes that this credit is 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 first six months of 2007 was $14,439, a decrease of $381 or 2.57% over the same period in 2006.

There were regular and steady increases in interest rate levels until the third quarter of 2006. Due to the liability-sensitive nature of the Company’s balance sheet, funding costs rose at a faster rate than asset yields. This caused the interest rate spread and the related net interest spread to decrease.

Data in the table below, however, suggests that the net interest spread may have stabilized in the first half of 2007. If interest rates remain at current levels, it is expected that a gradual improvement in the net interest spread will occur. However, should the Federal Reserve raise rates, further deterioration in the interest rate spread would be likely.

From December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007, the yield on loans has increased by 26 basis points. During the same period, the yield on taxable securities has gone up by 3 basis points, with nontaxable securities increasing 7 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 11 basis points from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Time deposit rates increased by 54 basis points. Saving deposit rates have been essentially flat throughout the period. Rate increases have occurred in the other borrowings category. However because the dollar volume is not substantial, there is little impact on the net interest spread. There is one additional factor which should be considered. 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 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 was $10. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at the end of the first six months of 2007 was 0.98%, which compares to 1.03% at December 31, 2006. The net charge-off ratio was 0.07% at June 30, 2007 and at December 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. Although there is an increase in nonperforming loans totals, management believes the single loan in this category is well collateralized. (See “Allowance for Loan Losses” under “Critical Accounting Policies”.)

Noninterest income is made up of several categories. Following is a description of the catergories, 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:

 

Demand deposit monthly activity fees

 

Service charges for checks for which there are non-sufficient funds or overdraft charges

 

ATM transaction fees

 

The principal factors affecting current or future levels of income from this category are:

 

Internally generated growth

 

Acquisitions of other banks/branches or de novo branches

 

Adjustments to service charge structures

Service charges on deposits were $1,653 at June 30, 2007, a decrease of $17.

 

 

Other service charges and fees consist of several categories. The primary categories are listed below.

 

Fees for the issuance of official checks

 

Safe deposit box rent

 

Income from the sale of customer checks

 

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 June 30, 2007 were $162, as compared with $213 for the same period the prior year. As indicated above, this category, because of its nature, varies from period to period. The total reported is a combination of declines in several areas, including small declines in income from the sale of checks and letter of credit fees. There was also a decline in check cashing fees, which were uncharacteristically high in the same period last year.

 

 

Credit card fees consist of three types of revenues.

 

Credit card transaction fees

 

19

 

 

 

 

Debit card transaction fees

 

Merchant fees

In all three areas growth is a critical factor for the level of 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 $158 or 13.62% when June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 are compared. The increase was attributable to organic growth, resulting in increased volume.

 

Trust income is somewhat dependent upon market conditions and the number of estate accounts being handled at any given 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 six months of 2007 was $733, a decrease of $12 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:

 

Net gains on the sale of fixed assets

 

Rent on foreclosed property

 

Income from cash value life insurance

 

Other infrequent or minor forms of income

 

Revenue from investment and insurance sales

Given the nature of the items included in this category, trends or patterns are not identifiable. Other income increased by $4 when June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 are compared.

 

Realized net gains and (losses) on securities include equity adjustments in certain investments in limited liability companies 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 June 30, 2007. The majority of this gain was attributable to equity adjustments in investments in the following limited liability companies, Bankers Insurance LLC, Bankers Investments Group LLC and Virginia Title Center LLC.

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:

 

Health insurance

 

Employee life insurance

 

Dental insurance

 

Executive compensation plans (1)

 

Qualified Pension plans (1)

 

Supplemental retirement plan (salary continuation agreements)

 

Employer FICA

 

Unemployment taxes

20

 

 

 

Salaries and employee benefits expense for the period ending June 30, 2007 was $5,619, a decline of $221 when compared to the same period in 2006. The primary cause of this decrease was a decline in health insurance costs of approximately $244. In addition, because of the May 2006 merger of the Company’s bank subsidiaries the number of full-time equivalent employees has declined through attrition. The decrease in health insurance and salary expense was offset by increases in other areas, producing a net decline of $221.

 

Occupancy expense for the first six months of 2007 was $897, down $108 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 due in part 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. Depreciation expense also declined by approximately $30.

 

Data processing and ATM expense at June 30, 2007 decreased by $48 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 grew by $144, as compared with June 30, 2007. The increase in credit card expenses was more than offset by the increase in credit card income. (See “Noninterest Income.”)

 

Comparing the first six months of 2007 with the same period in 2006, net cost of other real estate owned increased by $47. Losses on the sale of OREO property were $30, and $7 in write-downs was taken on properties in the first half of 2007. Other foreclosure expense was $24.

 

Other operating expenses include all other types of expense not classified elsewhere in the Company’s statement of income. Other operating expenses grew by a nominal $47, or 2.40%, when compared with the same period last year.

The Company’s intent is to hold the securities to maturity. The shift to the held to maturity portfolio is designed to mitigate the price volatility that has affected the capital account. Fluctuations in the level of unrealized gains and losses in the securities available for sale portfolio have been significant.

The above table indicates that the highest level of growth has been in the category of real estate construction loans. At June 30, 2007, the category was comprised of approximately $10,964 in residential construction loans and approximately $31,682 in commercial real estate loans.

Nearly all residential construction loans are sold on the secondary market once construction is complete and the loans are converted to permanent mortgages. Most commercial real estate construction loans are converted to permanent financing and held by the Company. Because this category of loans tends to be seasonal, volumes in the second and third quarter are usually higher than in the first and last quarter of the year.

Loan to individuals have declined by 5.45%. Competitive factors, such as the availability of low cost dealer auto loans and other products, such as home equity lines of credit, have made the traditional installment loan less attractive to bank customers.

As seen above, total deposits have grown 0.87% from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Demand deposits increased by 14.60%. Approximately $10 million of this increase is temporary in nature and is due to normal variations in deposit totals.

 

The remaining categories experienced little change.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $6,222 for the period ended June 30, 2007, which compares to $6,766 for the same period the previous year.

Net cash used in investing activities was $8,455 for the period ended June 30, 2007, and $5,354 used for the period ended June 30, 2006. Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,887 for the period ending June 30, 2007.

Management is unaware of any commitment that would have a material and adverse effect on liquidity at June 30, 2007.

Total shareholders’ equity grew by $1,919 from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Earnings and the changes in unrealized gains and losses for securities available for sale accounted for the net increase. During the first six months of 2007, the Company repurchased 15,000 shares of its own stock for approximately $330 at an average price of $22.60 per share (including broker commission). The Tier I and Tier II risk-based capital ratios at June 30, 2007 were 14.43% and 15.26%, respectively. The Company’s leverage capital ratio was 10.32%

 

Derivatives and Off Balance Sheet Items

 

22

 

 

 

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 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 six months of 2007, there have been no significant or unusual changes in this area.

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $7,325, a decrease of $150 from the corresponding period in 2006.

Overall the Company is experiencing a compression of the net interest margin. The net interest margin appears, however, to have stabilized. The net interest margin for the first three months of 2007 was 3.96%. For the second three months of 2007 it was 4.03%. While future improvements are anticipated, any improvement will be contingent upon interest rate levels remaining stable.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2007 was up 2.12% when compared to the second quarter of 2006. Growth in credit card fees, resulting from higher volume, accounted for this increase.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Salaries and employee benefits were down $151 when the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 are compared. The previously mentioned decline in health insurance costs accounted for the decrease.

 

The increase in credit card expense was volume driven.

The $206 increase in other expenses includes a $67 increase in stationery and supplies, a $24 increase in audits and examinations and a $22 increase in charitable donations expense. The remainder of the increase was a combination of net change occurring in various other accounts.

 

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 June 30, 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.

 

23

 

 

 

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.
