**National Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**March 31, 2009**

**(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 three months ended March 31, 2009 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 2008 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 Plan terminated on March 9, 2009. The purpose of the 1999 Stock Option Plan was to promote the success of NBI and its subsidiaries by providing an incentive to key employees that enhanced 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 could be granted. The 1999 Stock Option Plan limited the maximum term of any option granted to ten years, stated that options could be granted at not less than fair market value on the date of the grant and contained certain other limitations on the exercisability of incentive            stock options. The options generally vested 25% after one year, 50% after two years, 75% after three years and 100% after four years. There were no nonvested options outstanding at March 31, 2009.

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 2009.

Because no options have been granted in 2009 and all options were fully vested at December 31, 2008, there is no expense included in net income.

|   | During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no stock options granted and no options were exercised. |

The Company had 153 securities with a fair value of $102,933 which were temporarily impaired at March 31, 2009. The total unrealized loss on these securities was $8,947. Of the temporarily impaired total, 32 securities with a fair value of $19,524 and an unrealized loss of $5,011, have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more. 

Significant volatility and increased risk in the financial markets has been associated with the recent economic downturn. The increase in financial market credit risk affects the Company in the same way as it affects other institutional and individual investors. The Company’s investment portfolio includes corporate bonds. If, because of economic hardships, the issuing firms            were to default, there could be a delay in the payment of interest or bond principal, or there could be a loss of principal. To date, there have been no defaults in any of the corporate bonds held in the investment portfolio. The Company also holds a large number of municipal bonds. A prolonged and deep recession could negatively impact the ability of states and municipalities to make scheduled principal and interest payments on their outstanding indebtedness. If tax income and            other sources of income decline, states and municipalities could default on their bonds. Again, this risk is hypothetical, since there have been no defaults among the municipal bonds in the Company’s portfolio.

Management regularly monitors the credit quality of the investment portfolio. Changes in ratings are noted and follow-up research on the issuer is undertaken when warranted. Management intends to carefully follow any changes in bond quality, particularly through these challenging times for our nation’s economy. The Company has the ability and intent to hold any securities in            an unrealized loss position until maturity or until the cost is recovered.

 

**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 rather, provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The Companyadopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. The FASB approved a one-year deferral for the implementation of the Statement for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The Company adopted the            provisions of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2009 without a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). The Standard significantly changed the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles for how an acquirer recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed,            and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for acquisition dates on or after the beginning of an entity’s first year that begins after December 15, 2008. The Company does not            expect the implementation of SFAS 141(R) to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, at this time.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies.” FSP FAS 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies SFAS 141(R) to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising            from contingencies in a business combination. The FSP is effective for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or            liability have significantly decreased. The FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Earlier adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well            as in annual financial statements. In addition, the FSP amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The FSP is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 to have a material impact on its consolidated            financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-2 amends other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities.            The FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-2 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 111 (SAB 111). SAB 111 amends and replaces SAB Topic 5.M. in the SAB Series entitled “Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” SAB 111 maintains the SEC Staff’s previous views related to equity securities and amends Topic 5.M. to            exclude debt securities from its scope. The Company does not expect the implementation of SAB 111 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

**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 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:

 

 

 

14

 

 

----

 

 

 

| •  | 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 available for sale

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 available for sale are considered to be Level 2 securities.

 

The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2009. 

 

|                          |   |                                   |    | **Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2009 Using**                            |   |

| Available-for-sale securities |   | $                                      | 164,238 |                                                                           | $      | --- |   | $ | 164,238 |   | $ | --- |   |

 

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. 

 

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            March 31, 2009, 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. 

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s impaired loans that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period.

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. 

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s other real estate owned that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this report. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on those statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. 

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the description of our “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Form 10-Q.

There have been historic 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 or is prolonged, 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 yet clear what the ultimate impact of 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 be on financial markets and the financial services industry. An extended U. S. or global recession            could 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) SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and are 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 the actual events occur. The formula allowance uses a historical loss view 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. Historical loss information, 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 and to industry or geographic sectors whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized either in the formula or in the specific allowance.

**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.

| Fully diluted net earnings per share |   | $                     | 0.49   |                     | $      | 1.96 |   |

 

|   | (1) | Net interest margin: Year-to-date tax-equivalent net interest income divided by year-to-date average earning assets. |
|--------|-----|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | (2) | Noninterest margin: Noninterest income (excluding securities gains and losses) less noninterest expense (excluding the provision for bad debts and income taxes) divided by average year-to-date assets. |
|--------|-----|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 

The return on average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was 1.43%, a decline of 8 basis points from 1.51% for the year ended December 31, 2008, as internally generated asset growth increased at a faster rate than earnings. The return on average equity declined from 12.52% for the year ended December 31, 2008 to 12.14% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Return            on average equity declined because the Company’s equity, mostly from retained earnings, grew at a faster rate than first quarter earnings. Although the net interest margin, at 4.08%, was 4 basis points lower than the 4.12% at year-end, it remained at a healthy level for the first quarter of 2009.

**Growth**

 

|   | The following table shows the Company’s key growth indicators: |
|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|

 

|         |   | **March 31, 2009** |    | **December 31, 2008** |   | **Percent Change** |   |   |
|--------------|--------|--------------------|---------|-----------------------|--------|--------------------|--------|--------|
| Securities   |   | $                  | 300,491 |                  | $      | 264,999            |   |   | 13.39 |   | % |
| Loans, net   |   |               | 568,600 |                  |   | 569,699            |   |   | (0.19 | ) | % |
| Deposits     |   |               | 857,829 |                  |   | 817,848            |   |   | 4.89 |   | % |
| Total assets |   |               | 979,787 |                  |   | 935,374            |   |   | 4.75 |   | % |

 

Securities, deposits and total assets all grew in the first three months of 2009. Net loans remained essentially the same as at December 31, 2008. Growth in deposits came from municipalities and also from individual customers as they sought safety of principal while the value of other investment vehicles declined in volatile markets.

 

**Asset Quality**

 

|   | Key asset quality indicators are shown below: |
|--------|-----------------------------------------------|

 

|                               |   | **March 31, 2009** |   | **December 31,2008** |   |
|------------------------------------|--------|--------------------|--------|----------------------|--------|
| Nonperforming loans                |   | $                  | 1,337  |                 | $      | 1,333 |   |
| Loans past due over 90 days        |   |               | 1,607  |                 |   | 1,127 |   |
| Other real estate owned            |   |               | 1,918  |                 |   | 1,984 |   |
| Allowance for loan losses to loans |   |               | 1.06   | %                    |   | 1.02 | % |
| Net charge-off ratio               |   |               | 0.08   | %                    |   | 0.09 | % |

    

Nonperforming loans at March 31, 2009, all of which were nonaccrual loans, were $1,337, or 0.23% of total loans. Nonperforming loans increased by $4 over the $1,333 reported on December 31, 2008. Loans past due 90 days or more at the end of the first quarter of 2009 were $1,607, up $480 from the total at year-end. Although there were modest increases in loans past due 90 days or more            from year-end, the ratio of loans 90 days or more past due to total loans remains low when compared with peers and is consistent with the Company’s conservative underwriting policies.

The Company has increased the allowance for loan losses to account for the higher potential risk in the loan portfolio that accompanies a recessionary environment. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans increased from 1.02% at December 31, 2008 to 1.06% at March 31, 2009.

 

**Net Interest Income**

 

Net interest income for the first three months of 2009 was $8,166, an increase of $862, or 11.80%, when compared with the same period in 2008. This net increase is attributable to a decrease of $995 in interest expense, offset by a decrease in interest income of $133. The substantial decrease in interest expense was primarily caused by a decline in interest rates. In addition,            management has focused on deposit pricing to maximize profitability.

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.

Interest rates are at historic lows, and low and stable interest rates benefit the Company. Offsetting the effect of low interest rates is the fact that some higher yielding securities in the Company’s investment portfolio may be called when rates are low and are replaced with securities yielding at the lower market rate.

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 Home Loan Bank, while available, are only occasionally used. The cost of funds is dependent on interest rate levels and competitive factors.            This limits the ability of the Company to react to interest rate movements.

If interest rates remain low and stable, management anticipates that there will be less pressure on the net interest margin as management is able to price loans and deposits rationally. If interest rates were to rise quickly, the net interest margin would narrow, because deposit rates would increase at a faster rate than loan rates. If interest rates rise more slowly, the negative            effect on the net interest margin would be less pronounced.

**Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses**

The provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 was $370. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at the end of the first three months of 2009 was 1.06%, which compares to 1.02% at December 31, 2008. The net charge-off ratio was 0.08% at March 31, 2009 and 0.09% at December 31, 2008.

During the first quarter of 2009, management added to the provision for loan losses in an amount management believes is sufficiently prudent given current economic conditions. Refer to the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of this report for more information related to the methodologies used to establish the Allowance for Loan Losses. The nonperforming loans total is            made up of two loans, which management considers well-collateralized. 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 $804 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This is an increase of $36, or 4.69%, from the same period of 2008. 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 $73 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and $84 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

A slightly lower volume of credit card accounts, transactions and merchant transactions resulted in credit card fees of $625 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This was a decrease of $12, or 1.88%, when compared with the $637 total reported for the same period last year.

Trust fees, at $276, were down by $27, or 8.91%, from the $303 earned in the first quarter of 2008. 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 significantly during 2008 and            2009, negatively affecting income. In addition, there are fewer accounts under management. The mix of account types also affected Trust fees during the quarter.

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 three months ended March 31, 2009 was $249. This represents an increase of $28, or            12.67%, when compared with the three months ended March 31, 2008.

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company recognized $290 in a one-time gain 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, was the source of the relative high level of realized securities gains for the three            months ended March 31, 2008. Realized securities gains for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $80, as compared with $283 for the same period in 2008.

Salary and benefits expense decreased 0.91%, from $2,857 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $2,831 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company has made a concerted effort to control these costs.

Occupancy, furniture and fixtures expense was $469 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, an increase of $13, or 2.85%, from the same period last year. The small increase reflects the Company’s emphasis on containing controllable expenses.

Data processing and ATM expense was $322 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $27, or 7.74% from the three months ended March 31, 2008. In the first quarter of 2008, the Company had higher data processing costs associated with branch capture and merchant capture projects.

Credit card processing expense was $463 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a slight increase of $3 from the total for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This expense is driven by volume and other factors such as merchant discount rates and is subject to a degree of variability.

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 $284 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $278 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Net costs of other real estate owned have increased from $14 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $60 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This expense category varies with the number of other real estate owned properties and the expenses associated with each, and it has increased in 2009 as the total of other real estate owned has grown.

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 three months ended March 31, 2009 were $1,207. This reflects an increase of $170, or 16.39%, when compared with the same period in 2008. 

The majority of the growth in other operating expenses is attributable to an increase of $100 in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Deposit Insurance Fund premiums. As the impact of the financial crisis on the banking industry worsens, this expense will increase in the future. FDIC has announced an emergency special assessment on insured banks, payable on June 30. However, this            amount and terms of the assessment are still being discussed and have not yet been finalized.

**Securities**

 

The total amortized cost of securities available for sale and securities held to maturity at March 31, 2009 was $302,773 and total fair value was $299,184. At March 31, 2009 the Company held individual securities with a total fair value of $102,933 that had a total unrealized loss of $8,947. Of this total, securities with a fair value of $19,524 and unrealized loss of $5,011 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. |
|--------|------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | **•** | 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. 

 

**Loans**

 

|                      |   |   | **March 31, 2009** |   |   | **December 31, 2008** | **Percent Change** |   |   |
|---------------------------|--------|--------|--------------------|--------|--------|-----------------------|--------------------|--------|--------|
| Real estate construction  |   | $      | 58,645             |   | $      | 60,798                | (3.54              | )      | %      |
| Real estate mortgage      |   |   | 164,684            |   |   | 162,757               | 1.18               |   | %      |
| Commercial and industrial |   |   | 249,925            |   |   | 246,218               | 1.51               |   | %      |
| Loans to individuals      |   |   | 102,533            |   |   | 106,907               | (4.09              | )      | %      |
| Total loans               |   | $      | 575,787            |   | $      | 576,680               | (0.15              | )      | %      |

 

The Company’s total loans declined slightly from $576,680 at year-end 2008 to $575,787 at March 31, 2009. The $893, or 0.15%, decrease, is the result of a decline in the commercial and industrial and loans to individuals categories, partially offset by growth in the real estate mortgage and real estate construction categories.

Among the four loan categories, real estate construction loans have experienced the greatest percentage of growth. At December 31, 2008 there was $246,218 in real estate construction loans, and at March 31, 2009 the total increased 1.51% to $249,925. Real estate mortgage loans were at $164,684 at March 31, 2009 and $162,757 at December 31, 2008, an increase of $1,927, or 1.18%.            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 declined from $60,798 at December 31, 2008 to $58,645 at the end of the first quarter of 2009. This decline is the result of lower loan demand in a slower economy.

The 4.09% 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.

 

**Deposits**

 

|                                |   |   | **March 31, 2009** |   |   | **December 31, 2008** | **Percent Change** |   |
|-------------------------------------|--------|--------|--------------------|--------|--------|-----------------------|--------------------|--------|
| Noninterest-bearing demand deposits |   | $      | 112,473            |   | $      | 109,630               | 2.59               | %      |
| Interest-bearing demand deposits    |   |   | 285,218            |   |   | 256,416               | 11.23              | %      |
| Saving deposits                     |   |   | 49,178             |   |   | 45,329                | 8.49               | %      |
| Time deposits                       |   |   | 410,960            |   |   | 406,473               | 1.10               | %      |
| Total deposits                      |   | $      | 857,829            |   | $      | 817,848               | 4.89               | %      |
|                                |   |   |               |   |   |                  |               |   |

 

Total deposits have increased by 4.89%, from $817,848 at December 31, 2008 to $857,829 at March 31, 2009. The growth was internally generated and was not the result of acquisitions. Each of the deposit categories has grown since year-end, with interest-bearing demand deposits increasing at the highest rate, up by 11.23%, from $256,416 at December 31, 2008 to $285,218. A portion of

the increase in total deposits is attributable to a higher level of municipal deposits. Many customers are also seeking the safety of insured deposits when other forms of investments are uncertain and volatile. 

 

**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 three months ended March 31, 2009 was $4,343, which compares to $4,070 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $47,034, compared to $19,938 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $39,978, compared to $18,286 provided by financing activities in the same period last year.

NBB has been able to readily attract deposits at reasonable rates, particularly from local governments in its market area. NBB has long had an internal policy targeting the loan to deposit ratio in the 65% to 75% range. At March 31, 2009 it was 67.0%. In addition, management maintains a reasonable percentage of the laddered investment portfolio in investments that are categorized as            available for sale. These factors, together with those cited above, contribute to the Company’s sound levels of liquidity.

At March 31, 2009, management is unaware of any commitment or trend that would have a material effect on liquidity.

 

**Capital Resources**

 

Total stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2009 was $113,556, an increase of $3,448 from December 31, 2008. The Tier I and Tier II risk-based capital ratios at March 31, 2009 were 15.78% and 16.71%, respectively. Capital levels remain significantly above the regulatory minimum capital requirements of 4.0% for Tier I and 8.0% for Tier II capital.

 

**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. 

|   | NBB sells mortgages on the secondary market for which there are recourse agreements should the borrower default. |
|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

There were no material changes in these off-balance sheet arrangements during the first three months of 2009, except for regular and normal seasonal fluctuations in loan commitment totals.

 

**Contractual Obligations**

 

The Company had no capital lease or purchase obligations at March 31, 2009. Operating lease obligations and long-term debt were not material at the end of the first quarter of 2009 and have not changed materially from that which was disclosed in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K.

 

| **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, 2008 in the Company’s 2008 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 

 

23

 

 

----

 

 

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 March 31, 2009 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 March 31, 2009 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.
