PINNACLE BANKSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY



Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2003 (Unaudited)

(In thousands, except share and per share data)



(1) General



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation (Bankshares) and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
The First National Bank of Altavista (the Bank), (collectively the Company). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements conform to accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and to general banking industry practices. In the opinion of the Companys management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring
nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2003, the results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September
30, 2003 and 2002.



These interim period consolidated financial
statements and financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders and additional information supplied in the 2002 Form
10-KSB. As discussed in the 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders, the Company has retroactively restated its operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002 to reverse amortization expense related to reclassified
goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, an amendment of SFAS No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9.



The results of operations for the interim period ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2003.



The
Company has a single reportable segment for purposes of segment reporting.

(2) Stock Options



The Company has an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the Plan) instituted on May 1, 1997, pursuant to which the Companys Board of Directors
may grant stock options to officers and key employees. The Plan authorizes grants of options to purchase up to 50,000 shares of the Companys authorized, but unissued common stock. Accordingly, 50,000 shares of authorized, but unissued common
stock are reserved for use in the Plan. All stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the stocks fair market value at the date of grant. At September 30, 2003, there were 5,000 shares available for grant under the Plan.



The Company applies the intrinsic value-based method of
accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations including FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation, an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, to account for its fixed plan stock options. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the
exercise price. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No. 123,
the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation 
Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.



No compensation cost has been recognized for the Companys stock options in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value of its stock options at the grant date
under SFAS No. 123, the Companys net income, basic net income per share and diluted net income per share would have decreased to the pro forma amounts for the interim periods indicated below:

dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.



The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and
denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share computations for the periods indicated:

subsidiary (collectively the Company). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes.



OVERVIEW



Total assets at September 30, 2003 were $207,581, up 3.84%
from $199,899 at December 31, 2002. The principal components of the Companys assets at the end of the period were $35,123 in securities and $145,082 in net loans. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, net loans increased
11.60% or $15,083 from $129,999 at December 31, 2002. The Companys lending activities are a principal source of its income. Also during the nine month period, securities decreased 17.80% or $7,608 from December 31, 2002.



Total liabilities at September 30, 2003 were $186,423, up 3.84% from $179,527
at December 31, 2002, primarily as a result of an increase in demand deposits from December 31, 2002 of $2,914 or 20.14% and an increase in time deposits from December 31, 2002 of $3,408 or 3.27%. The Companys deposits are provided by
individuals and businesses located within the communities the Company serves.



Total stockholders equity at September 30, 2003 was $21,158, including $15,522 in retained earnings and $702 of accumulated other comprehensive income, net, which represents net unrealized gains on
available-for-sale securities. At December 31, 2002, total stockholders equity was $20,372.



The Company had net income of $1,326 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared with net income of $1,399 for the comparable period in 2002, a
decrease of 5.22%. The Company had net income of $455 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared with net income of $462 for the comparable period in 2002, a decrease of 1.52%. The results of operations for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2003.



Profitability as measured by the Companys return on average assets (ROA) was 0.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to 0.91%
for the same period of 2002. Another key indicator of performance, the return on average equity (ROE) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was 8.48%, compared to 9.52% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

NET INTEREST INCOME



Net interest income represents the principal source of earnings for the Company. Changes in the volume and mix of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and borrowings, as well as their respective rates and yields, have a significant impact on the level of net interest income.



Net interest income was $5,318 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 and is attributable to interest income
from loans and securities exceeding the cost associated with interest incurred on deposits. Net interest income was $1,756 for the three month period ended September 30, 2003. The net interest margin decreased to 3.83% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003, from 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease was caused by the decrease in loan yields slightly exceeding the decrease in deposit costs.



Interest expense decreased 20.37% and 15.38% for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2003, respectively,
compared to the same periods of 2002 due to the impact of repricing of deposit liabilities.



Interest income from loans and securities decreased 8.91% and 8.07% for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2002 due to the overall lower interest
rate environment during 2003.



Interest and fees on loans was
$6,713 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, down from $7,091 at September 30, 2002. Interest and fees on loans was $2,265 for the three month period ended September 30, 2003, down from $2,346 at September 30, 2002.



NON-INTEREST INCOME



Non-interest income increased $723 or 57.52% for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2003 compared to the same period of 2002. Non-interest income increased $340, or 84.79% when comparing the three month period ended September 30, 2003 to the same period of 2002. The Companys principal sources of non-interest
income are service charges and fees on deposit accounts, particularly transaction accounts, and fees on sales of mortgage loans. The increases from 2002 were primarily due to a 100.40% increase in service charges on deposits due to the
implementation of the overdraft privilege program in December of 2002. Also contributing to the increase was a 49.13% increase in fees on the sale of mortgage loans as a result of increased loan production during the first nine months of 2003 when
compared to the same period of 2002. Other operating income also increased due primarily to an increase in surcharges for non-customer ATM transactions and an increase in loan fee income.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE



Non-interest expense increased $695 or 15.80%, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same
period of 2002. Non-interest expense increased $281 or 19.00% for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period of 2002. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily attributable to the $330 increase or 13.23%
growth in the Companys personnel expenses, a consulting expense of $82 related to improving efficiencies within the Company, expenses and loss associated with the sale of land totaling approximately $38 and administrative expenses associated
with the overdraft privilege program of $106 during the first nine months of 2003.



ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES



We expensed a provision for loan losses of $362 in the first nine months of 2003 in recognition of managements estimate of risks inherent with
lending activities. Among other factors, management considers the Companys historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, the value and adequacy of collateral and guarantors, non-performing credits, and current and
anticipated economic conditions in making its estimate of risk. There are additional risks of future loan losses that cannot be precisely quantified or attributed to particular loans or classes of loans. Since those risks include general economic
trends as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the allowance for loan losses is an estimate. The allowance is also subject to regulatory examinations and determinations as to adequacy, which may take into account factors such as the
methodology used to calculate the allowance. The allowance for loan losses was $1,478 as of September 30, 2003, representing approximately 1.01% of loans receivable. Management believes the allowance was adequate as of September 30, 2003 to provide
for loan losses inherent in the Companys loan portfolio. Management evaluates the reasonableness of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and adjusts the provision as deemed appropriate.



MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE



For the first nine months of 2003, under an agreement with the Federal
National Mortgage Association (FNMA), we originated mortgage loans totaling $8,523. At September 30, 2003, $53 of these loans had not been sold to FNMA. Under the agreement with FNMA, the Company funds mortgage loans originated for sale to FNMA,
which are subsequently purchased by FNMA. Under the terms of the agreement, FNMA does not purchase the servicing rights associated with the loans originated and sold by the Company until the volume of mortgage loans purchased by FNMA exceeds
$10,000.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND IMPAIRED LOANS



Non-performing assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans and foreclosed
properties, were $221 at September 30, 2003 and $347 at December 31, 2002. There were no foreclosed properties as of September 30, 2003 or December 31, 2002. Nonaccrual loans were $221 at September 30, 2003 and $347 at December 31, 2002. Loans are
generally placed in nonaccrual status when the collection of principal and interest is 90 days or more past due, unless the obligation is both well-secured and in the process of collection. Impaired loans equaled nonaccrual loans at September 30,
2003 and December 31, 2002.



LIQUIDITY



Liquidity represents an institutions ability to meet
present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds from alternative funding sources. The Companys liquidity is provided by cash and due from banks, federal
funds sold, investments available for sale, managing investment maturities, interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions and loan repayments. The Companys ability to obtain deposits and purchase funds at favorable rates also
affects it liquidity. As a result of the Companys management of liquid assets and its ability to generate liquidity through alternative funding sources, management believes that the Bank maintains overall liquidity that is sufficient to
satisfy its depositors requirements and to meet customers credit needs. The Companys ratio of liquid assets to deposits and short-term borrowings was 25.54% as of September 30, 2003 compared to 29.24% as of December 31, 2002.
Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include its capacity to borrow additional funds through correspondent banks. The Company derives cash flows from its operating, investing, and financing activities. Cash flows of the Company
are primarily used to fund loans and securities and are provided by the deposits and borrowings of the Company.



CAPITAL



The Companys financial position at September 30, 2003 reflects liquidity and capital levels currently adequate to fund anticipated future business
expansion. Capital ratios are well above required regulatory minimums for a well-capitalized institution. The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, and changing
competitive conditions and economic forces. The adequacy of the Companys capital is reviewed by management regularly. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset
growth and to absorb potential losses.

Stockholders equity reached $21,158 at September 30, 2003 compared to $20,372 at December 31, 2002.
At September 30, 2003, the Companys leverage ratio (Tier I capital divided by quarterly average assets) was 9.53% compared to 9.28% at December 31, 2002. Each of these ratios exceeded the required minimum leverage ratio of 4%.



CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments
and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The Companys most critical accounting policy relates to the Companys allowance for loan losses, which reflects the estimated losses resulting from the
inability of the Companys borrowers to make required loan payments. If the financial condition of the Companys borrowers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, the Companys estimates
would be updated, and additional provisions for loan losses could be required. Further information regarding the estimates used in determining the allowance for loan losses is contained in the discussions on Allowance and Provision for Loan
Losses on page 17 herein and Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses on page 27 of the Companys 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders.



RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS



As of September 30, 2003, there are no new accounting standards that are expected to be applicable to the Companys financial position, operating
results or financial statement disclosures.

Item 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Pursuant to provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Robert H. Gilliam, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, and Bryan M. Lemley, Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, of the Company are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. They have designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under their supervision, to ensure that
material information relating to the Company, is made known to them by others within the Company, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared. They have evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls
and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and based on their evaluation, concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively.



There was no significant change in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
