Note (4) Recent Accounting Prouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 145, Rescission of FASB No. 4, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. This Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. This Statement also rescinds FASB Statement No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The provisions of this Statement related to the rescission of Statement 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions of this Statement related to Statement 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The standard requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9 in October 2002. FASB Statement No. 72, Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions, and FASB Interpretation No. 9, Applying APB Opinions No. 16 and 17 When a Savings and Loan Association or a Similar Institution Is Acquired in a Business Combination Accounted for by the Purchase Method, provided interpretive guidance on the application of the purchase method to acquisitions of financial institutions Except for transactions between two or more mutual enterprises, this Statement removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of both Statement 72 and Interpretation 9 and requires that those transactions be accounted for in accordance with FASB Statements no. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Thus, the requirement in paragraph 5 of Statement 72 to recognize (and subsequently amortize) any excess of the fair value of liabilities assumed over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired as an unidentifiable intangible asset no longer applies to acquisitions with the scope of this Statement . In addition, this Statement amends FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, to include in its scope long-term customer-relationship intangible assets of financial institutions such as depositor and borrower-relationship assets and credit cardholder intangible assets. Consequently, those intangible assets are subject to the same undiscounted cash flow recoverability test and impairment loss recognition and measurement provisions that Statement 144 requires for other long-lived assets that are held and used.
Paragraph 5 of this Statement, which relates to the application of the purchase method of accounting, is effective for acquisitions for which the date of acquisition is one or after October 1, 2002. The provisions in paragraph 6
related to accounting for the impairment or disposal of certain long-term customer-relationship intangible assets are effective on October 1, 2002. Transition provisions for previously recognized unidentifiable intangible assets in paragraphs 8-14 are effective on October 1, 2002, with earlier application permitted.
This Statement clarifies that a branch acquisition that meets the definition of a business should be accounted for as a business combination, otherwise the transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition of net assets that does not result in the recognition of goodwill.
The transition provisions state that if the transaction that gave rise to the unidentifiable intangible asset was a business combination, the carrying amount of that asset shall be reclassified to goodwill as of the later of the date of acquisition or the date Statement 142 was first applied (fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001). Any previously issued interim statements that reflect amortization of the unidentifiable intangible asset subsequent to the Statement 142 application date shall be restated to remove that amortization expense They carrying amounts of any recognized intangible assets that meet the recognition criteria of Statement 141 that have been included in the amount reported as an unidentifiable intangible asset and for which separate accounting records have been maintained shall be reclassified and accounted for as assets apart from the unidentifiable intangible asset and shall not be reclassified to goodwill.
The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, arising from the adoption of Statement 147.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
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. Reference should be made to the financial statements and other information included in this report as well as the 2001 Annual Report and Form 10-K for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of 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 either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor 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 estimatable 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 in 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.
Forward Looking Statements
Management believes that the current rate environment is unsustainable
over a long period of time without having an adverse effect on the general
economy. Accordingly, rate increases are expected in the first half of 2003.
While the Company's yield on earning assets would improve in a higher rate
scenario, it would likely be offset by a greater increase in funding costs in
the near term. The ultimate impact on the Company's net interest margin will be
dependent on several factors. The timing of rate increases and the extent of
such will be a primary factor. However, the effect of the rate increase could be
mitigated by asset and liability management practices. Additional uncontrollable
events that may affect the general economy and rate levels include the ongoing
terrorist threat, interruption of the nation's oil supplies, and other potential
side effects from problems in the Middle East. Recent accounting scandals and
their effect on the stock markets may also have an adverse effect on the general
economy. While management can plan for various scenarios or rate environments,
it cannot predict the ultimate outcome.
In the meantime, while interest rates remain at low levels, it is
expected that the Company's yield on earning assets will gradually decline as
older higher rate loans and investments mature. A corresponding or proportionate
decline in the cost to fund earning assets is not anticipated as many of the
higher rate time deposit instruments have already matured. The ultimate effect
on the net interest margin is not known as the outcome is dependent upon the
timing of any future interest rate increases and other factors previously
mentioned related to the general economy and world events.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $7,363, which represents an increase of $2,156 or 41.4% when compared to the same period in 2001. The annualized return on average assets for the nine months ended September 30 2002 was 1.52% and 1.10% for the period ended September 30, 2001. The annualized return on average equity was 14.31% for the period ended September 30, 2002 and 11.13% for September 30, 2001.
Earnings per share for the period ended September 30, 2002 was $2.10 and $1.48 in 2001 for the same period.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income at the end of the third quarter of 2002 was $19,990,
an increase of $3,359 or 20.2%. Interest income decreased $2,510 or 7.3%, when
the periods ending September 30, 2002 and 2001 are compared. Interest expense
decreased $5,869, or 32.8%, when the two periods are compared. The yield on
earning assets was 7.37%, decreasing 65 basis points from September 30, 2001.
The cost to fund earning assets for the period ending September 30, 2002 was
2.62% or a 138 basis point decrease from the same period in 2001. This resulted
in a increase in the net interest margin. As seen by this data, substantially
lower funding costs due to the low rate environment accounted for most of the
improvement.
Following is a table showing the year-to-date average balances for
interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and the related yield and
cost.

Loans, net 410,020 24,467 7.98%

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses
The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans net of unearned
income was 1.21% at September 30 2002. This compares to 1.05% at September 30,
2001. The provision for the first nine months of 2002 was $1,711, up $670 over
the same period the prior year.
While management continues to believe that overall credit quality
remains sound, net charge-offs are expected to be at slightly higher levels in
2002, due in part to increasing losses in the consumer loan portfolio. With most
of the growth occurring in commercial loans the Company's exposure to losses
resulting from defaults in a small number of large credits has also increased.
The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans at December 31, 2001 was
1.07%.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income is comprised of service charges on deposit accounts, other service charges and fees, credit card fees, trust income and other income. Net securities gains and losses are also included in this category. Noninterest income for the period ended September 30, 2002 was $4,397, an increase of $594 or 15.6%.
Credit card fees increased $123 or 13.4%. This increase was primarily due to volume.
Trust income decreased by 15.4% when compared to the first nine months of 2001. Trust income is dependent on market conditions as well as the types of accounts being handled at any given point in time. The level of estate business, for example, cannot be predicted with any degree of precision. Market conditions, which control values of assets managed and in turn trust fees, have been less favorable. With the current market volatility, management believes that market conditions, though unpredictable, will tend to have an adverse affect on trust fees.
Realized securities gains/(losses) were $343 for the period ended September 30, 2002. In 2002 the Company sold two thirds of its investment in a local bank holding company, which produced a gain of approximately $334. Also included in realized net gains and losses are the result of called securities and write-downs in investments in limited liability companies (LLC). The LLC investments allow the company to derive income from title insurance, life & casualty insurance and investment products. The write-downs represent an adjustment of the Company's equity investment in these companies.
Other income contained some nonrecurring or infrequent items as well as two new forms of revenues, which accounted for a portion of the $206 increase over 2001. Contributing to this increase were nontaxable proceeds from a life insurance policy, which was approximately $36, and a recovery of legal fees of $14 incurred in a prior year. In addition, there was a nonrecurring adjustment to fees of approximately $48. Other income includes commissions from the sale of securities and insurance products in the amount of $195 compared to $51 at September 30, 2001.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the period ended September 30 2002 was $13,117 an increase of $595 or 4.8%.
Salaries and employee benefits increased by $674 or 11.2% when the periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are compared. This increase was due in part to the acquisition of a branch in late March 2001. Due to the timing of the purchase the full impact of the additional expense was not experienced in 2001. Also, included in the 2002 expense is the full effect of salaries and employee
benefits associated with the Company's financial services affiliate. Routine merit salary and promotional salary increases further contributed to the increase in this category.
Data processing costs decreased $165 or 16.3%. This decline was primarily due to a reduction achieved in maintenance costs and the absence of conversion costs associated with the 2001 branch acquisition that has been discussed.
Credit card processing increased $7 or 0.9%. Included in credit card expense for 2002 were two nonrecurring items. The first was a rebate of processing charges of approximately $42. The second was a rebate for $10 received as a signing bonus for a new processor. The decrease caused by these items in part,offsets the increases in expenses related to volume.
Intangibles expense for the third quarter of 2002 was $716 compared to $674 during the same period last year. This increase was related to the branch acquisition that occurred in the latter part of March 2001. Since the transaction occurred late in the first quarter of 2001, intangibles expense was prorated.
Balance Sheet
Total assets at September 30, 2002 were $667,646, an increase of $23,023 or 3.6% from period end assets at December 31, 2001.
Securities
Securities available for sale increased by 23.0%, while securities held to maturity decreased 15.3%. (Refer to the table previously presented for portfolio composition.)
Loans
Loans net of unearned income grew by $17,083 or 4.3% from December 31, 2001. Since December 31, 2001, construction loans increased by $2,304 or 11.8%, with real estate mortgage loans increasing $3,433 or 4.4%. The largest increase, however, was in the commercial loan category which grew by $22,269 or 11.7%. The only category to show a decrease was loans to individuals, which declined by $11,323 or 10.0%. Given the general economic conditions, it is not known to what extent loans to individuals will ultimately decline or when growth in this area will resume. Loans to individuals generally produce higher yields than other loan categories. A prolonged and substantial decline of these loans could have a measurable impact on the Company's net interest margin.
Deposits
Total deposits increased $14,960 or 2.6% when September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 are compared.
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $6,420 or 8.9%, when September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 are compared. During the same period interest-bearing demand deposits increased by 15.0%, while savings deposits declined 0.4%. Management believes that the increase in interest-bearing demand deposits is in part due to the customers' expectations of higher interest rates in the near to intermediate term. Hence, the Company's customers are not
committing their funds to longer-term time deposits. Thus the largest decrease in deposits took place in time deposits category, which declined by $11,431 or 3.6%.
Daily Averages
Daily averages for the major categories are as follows:
(000's) September 30,2002 December 31,2001
--------------------- ---------------------
Loans, net $409,342 380,970
Securities available for sale 90,972 109,682
Securities held to maturity 95,774 79,127
Total assets 647,301 635,692
Total deposits 575,880 569,139
Stockholders' equity 68,817 63,460
|
Liquidity
Liquidity is the ability to provide sufficient cash levels to meet financial commitments and to fund loan demand and deposit withdrawals.
Cash from operating activities was $10,286. The primary sources are net income and net sales of real estate loans held for sale.
Cash used in investing activities was $21,042. As can be seen from the cash flow statement the principal use of cash was for lending activities and the purchase of securities available for sale.
Financing activities during the period provided $13,730 mainly in the other deposit category.
Management is not aware of any commitments that will result in, or are likely to result in, a material and adverse decline in liquidity.
Branching Activity
The Company's NBB affiliate announced in the second quarter its plans to
establish a new branch in Christiansburg, Virginia. The new office will be
located in the downtown area and is expected to be opened in the second quarter
of 2003.
In a move to control costs and to enhance customer service, the
Company's BTC affiliate plans to consolidate its two Bluefield, Virginia offices
into the newly renovated office at Virginia Avenue.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was $2,712, an
increase of $802 or 42.0% over the same period in 2001. The annualized return on
average assets for the third quarter of 2002 was 1.65% and 1.18% for the third
quarter of 2001. The annualized return on average equity for the third quarter
of 2002 was 15.30%. This compares to 11.84% for the same period in 2000.
Basic earnings per share for the three months ended September 30,2002
was $0.78, an increase of $0.24 from the third quarter of 2001.
Net interest income
Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $6,977 or a 21.3% increase from the same quarter in 2001. As previously discussed, the Company continues to benefit from the low interest rate environment.
Provision for loan losses
The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2002 was $519. This compares to $377 for the same period the prior year. The increase in the provision was necessitated in part by loan growth and a higher level of charge-offs. As previously mentioned, an increasing concern for loss exposure in the consumer loan portfolio exists. The shift in the loan portfolio mix as discussed previously also contributes to the need for an increased provision.
Noninterest income
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2002 was $1,482, an increase of $170 over the period ending September 30, 2001. Previously mentioned securities gains accounted for the majority of this increase.
Service charges on deposits remained relativity unchanged increasing $20 or 3.6% when the quarter-ended September 30, 2002 is compared to the same period in 2001.
Trust income decreased by 16.2% when the two periods are compared. As previously discussed various factors contribute to the level of trust income. Market values of assets managed are dependent on market valuations, which recently have been generally lower.
Noninterest expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $4,380. This represents an increase of $204 or 4.9% when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2001. This quarterly increase is consistent with the year-to-date overall increase of 4.8% experienced so far this year.
Balance Sheet
Total average assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 were $657,504, which represents an increase of $13,447 or 2.1% over total assets at September 30, 2001. A comparison of selected quarterly averages follows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Derivatives
The Company is not a party to derivative financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks such as futures, forwards, swaps and options. 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 has limited amounts of collateralized mortgage obligations, structured notes and other similar instruments that are included in securities available for sale and securities held to maturity.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
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 provides 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, 2001.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of the filing of this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

10(iii) (A) EMPLOYEE LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 14th day of August, 2002, by and between National Bankshares, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("Lessor"), and The National Bank of Blacksburg, a national banking association ("Lessee");
WHEREAS, James G. Rakes ("Employee"), is currently employed by Lessor pursuant to an Employment Agreement dated as of January 1, 2002, a copy of which agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A ("Current Employment Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Lessee has for many years appointed Employee to be Lessee's President and Chief Executive Officer and employed Employee as its President and Chief Executive Officer; and
WHEREAS, by lease dated May 7, 1992, Lessee retained the services of and employed Employee as Lessee's President and Chief Executive Officer and agreed to pay certain compensation and provide certain benefits to Employee under an Employment Agreement dated January 1, 1992, between Lessor and Employee, which expired by its terms on December 31, 2001, and which was superceded by the Current Employment Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Lessee wishes to continue to lease Employee's services from Lessor in order to retain the services of Employee as Lessee's President and Chief Executive Officer and to pay certain compensation and provide certain benefits to Employee as such under the Current Employment Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits and covenants contained herein, the parties contract and agree as follows:
1. Lease. Lessor agrees to lease Employee to Lessee and Lessee agrees to lease Employee from Lessor for the Term (as such term is defined in the Current Employment Agreement) of Employee's employment subject, in all events, to earlier termination of this lease agreement as provided herein ("Lease Term").
2. Location. Lessee agrees that during the Term Employee shall work at its main office in Blacksburg, Virginia, and serve as its President and Chief Executive Officer.
3. Duties. Employee will perform all duties normally associated with the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of Lessee. Employee will report directly to Lessee's Board of Directors, which shall be responsible for the supervision of Employee as Lessee's President and Chief Executive Officer. The Board shall review Employee's job performance on an at least annual basis.
a. Lessee agrees to pay the Lease Percentage (as hereinafter defined) of the Employee's Base Salary in accordance with Lessor's established payroll practices and of any Annual Bonuses, as each is provided in the Current Employment Agreement, or reimburse Lessor therefor on invoice ("Lease Compensation").
b. Lessee agrees to provide directly or contribute to Lessor on invoice the Lease Percentage of the cost of all Welfare Benefits and Retirement Benefits as each such term is defined in the Current Employment Agreement ("Lease Benefits").
c. Lessee agrees to pay or reimburse Lessor on invoice all federal, state and local employment taxes which are now, or may be at any time during the Lease Term, imposed upon employers and which are attributable to the Lease
Compensation. Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lessor for any tax, interest and penalty which may be imposed upon Lessor by virtue of Lessee's failure to fully comply with this section 4.c.
d. The Lessor shall be responsible for providing directly all compensation and benefits under the Current Employment Agreement not specifically required to be provided or paid by Lessee hereunder and in no event shall Lessee be directly liable to Employee in connection with its obligations hereunder. There are no third party beneficiaries of this Lease, including but not limited to Employee and, this Lease does not constitute a novation of Lessor's obligations to Employee under the Current Employment Agreement.
e. For purposes hereof, the initial Lease Percentage shall be 80% but may be amended after the Effective Date by agreement between the Board of Directors of Lessee and Lessor to reflect a good faith estimation of Lessee's fair contribution to Employee's overall compensation and benefits.
5. Termination. This lease agreement shall automatically terminate without penalty or further obligation: (a) upon the termination of Employee's employment under the Current Employment Agreement; (b) by action of Lessee's Board of Directors, to the same extent and upon the same conditions that it would have the right to terminate the services of its employees as set forth in 12 U.S.C. Section 25 (Fifth).
6. Termination Benefits and Compensation. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, nothing herein shall render Lessee liable for any
compensation or other benefits under the Current Employment Agreement, including
but not limited to the Lease Compensation and Lease Benefits, resulting from the
termination of Employee's employment thereunder as provided in Section 4 thereof
(a) if the Employee's employment is terminated by the Lessor but not by the
Lessee; (b) if Employee's employment is terminated by the Lessee but not by the
Lessor; or (c) as a result of the operation of Part II.
7. Breach Indemnification. Lessor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lessee for any liability which might arise by virtue of Lessor's breach of the Current Employment Agreement.
8. Entire Understanding. This lease agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties, and it may not be modified except by a memorandum in writing signed by the parties.
9. Governing Law. This lease agreement shall be interpreted and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
10. Counterparts. This lease agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
11. Waiver. The failure on the part of either party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, privilege or remedy shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise or waiver by either party of any right, privilege or remedy preclude any other of future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or privilege.
