AMERICAN NATIONAL BANKSHARES INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly American National Bankshares'
financial position as of March 31, 2003, its cash flows for the three months
then ended, and the results of its operations for the three months then ended.
Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2003.
The consolidated financial statements include the amounts and results of
operations of American National Bankshares Inc. ("the Corporation") and its
wholly owned subsidiary, American National Bank and Trust Company ("the Bank")
and the Bank's two subsidiaries, ANB Mortgage Corp. and ANB Services Corp.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements with respect to the
financial condition, results of operations and business of the Corporation and
Bank. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are
based on the beliefs and assumptions of management of the Corporation and Bank
and on information available at the time these statements and disclosures were
prepared. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those
expected include the following:
o General economic conditions may deteriorate and negatively impact the
ability of borrowers to repay loans and depositors to maintain balances.
o Changes in interest rates could reduce net interest income.
o Competitive pressures among financial institutions may increase.
o The businesses that the Corporation and Bank are engaged in may be
adversely affected by legislative or regulatory changes, including changes
in accounting standards.
o New products developed or new methods of delivering products could result
in a reduction in business and income for the Corporation and Bank.
o Adverse changes may occur in the securities market.
Internet Access to Corporate Documents
The Corporation provides access to their SEC filings through the corporate
Web site at www.amnb.com. After accessing the Web site, the filings are
available upon selecting the American National Bankshares Inc. icon. Reports
available include the annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form
10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports as soon
as reasonably practicable after the reports are electronically filed with or
furnished to the SEC.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Corporation's critical accounting policies are listed below. A summary
of the Corporation's significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Corporation's 2002 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
The Corporation's financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("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. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable
6
method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be
the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be
sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles
of accounting: (i) SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that
losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and (ii)
SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that
losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral,
present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the
secondary market and the loan balance.
Our allowance for loan losses has three basic components: the formula
allowance, the specific allowance and the unallocated allowance. Each of these
components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the
actual events occur. The formula allowance uses a historical loss view as an
indicator of future losses along with various economic factors 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 for specifically identified loans. Historical loss
information, expected cash flows and fair market value of collateral are used to
estimate these losses. The unallocated allowance captures losses whose impact on
the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized in either the formula
or specific allowance. The use of these values is inherently subjective and our
actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates.
Core Deposit Intangibles
In July, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two
statements - Statement 141, Business Combinations, and Statement 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets, which impacted the accounting for goodwill and
other intangible assets. Statement 141 eliminated the pooling method of
accounting for business combinations and required that intangible assets that
meet certain criteria be reported separately from goodwill. Statement 142
eliminated the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles that are
determined to have an indefinite life. The Statement requires, at a minimum,
annual impairment tests for goodwill and other intangible assets that are
determined to have an indefinite life. SFAS 142 allows certain intangibles
arising from Bank and Thrift acquisitions to be amortized over their estimated
useful lives.
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 within 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.
7
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 on 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. The 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.
Upon adoption of these Statements, the Corporation re-evaluated its
intangible assets that arose from branch acquisitions prior to July 1, 2001. The
intangible assets arising from the premium paid for deposits acquired at the
Gretna office in 1995 and the Yanceyville office in 1996 are classified as core
deposit intangibles and continue to be amortized over their estimated lives
based on management's determination that a business was not acquired in either
of the two purchases.
Stock Based Compensation
At March 31, 2003, the Corporation has a stock-based compensation plan. The
Corporation accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement
principles of APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected
in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal
to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. The
following illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share for the
three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002 had the fair value recognition
provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
been adopted.

rates of 4.08%, and expected lives of 5 years. There were no grants during the
first three months of 2003.

Non-GAAP Presentations
This management's discussion and analysis refers to the efficiency ratio,
which is computed by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest
income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income. This is a non-GAAP
financial measure which we believe provides investors with important information
regarding our operational efficiency. Comparison of our efficiency ratio with
those of other companies may not be possible because other companies may
calculate the efficiency ratio differently. The Corporation, in referring to its
net income, is referring to income under generally accepted accounting
principals, or "GAAP".
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
No new accounting pronouncements have been issued since December 31, 2002.

SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION
The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information", in 1998. Reportable segments include
community banking and trust and investment services.
Community banking involves making loans to and generating deposits from
individuals and businesses in the Bank's general market area. All assets and
liabilities of the Bank are allocated to community banking. Investment income
from fixed income investments is another major source of income. Loan fee
income, service charges from deposit accounts and non-deposit fees such as
automatic teller machine fees and insurance commissions generate additional
income for community banking. The assets and liabilities and operating results
of the Bank's two subsidiaries, ANB Mortgage Corp. and ANB Services Corp. are
included in the community banking segment. ANB Mortgage Corp. performs secondary
mortgage banking and ANB Services Corp. performs retail investment and insurance
sales.
Trust and investment services include estate and trust planning and
administration and investment management for various entities. The trust and
investment services division of the Bank manages trusts, estates and purchases
equity, fixed income and mutual fund investments for customer accounts. The
trust and investment services division receives fees for investment and
administrative services. Fees are also received by this division for individual
retirement accounts managed for the community banking segment.
Unaudited segment information for the three month periods ended March 31,
2003 and 2002 is shown in the following table (in thousands). The "Other" column
includes corporate related items, results of insignificant operations and, as it
relates to segment profit (loss), income and expense not allocated to reportable
segments.

ITEM 2.
AMERICAN NATIONAL BANKSHARES INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The purpose of this discussion is to focus on important factors affecting
the Corporation's financial condition and results of operations. The discussion
and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements, and supplemental financial data.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INCOME
The Corporation's net income for the first three months of 2003 was
$2,334,000, an increase of 6.1% over the $2,199,000 earned during the same
period of 2002. On a basic and diluted per share basis, net earnings totaled
$0.41 and $0.40, respectively, for the first three months of 2003. This compared
favorably to the $0.38 in basic and diluted earnings per share recorded for the
first three months of 2002. Both earnings per share measurement increases were
due to a combination of improved net interest income combined with a lower
number of shares outstanding due to stock repurchases under the Corporation's
outstanding stock repurchase program.
On an annualized basis, return on average total assets was 1.55% for the
first three months of 2003 compared to 1.56% for the same period in 2002.
Annualized return on average common shareholders' equity was 13.23% and 13.32%
for the first three months of 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $449,000, or
8.6%, for the first three months of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 due
to an improvement in the interest rate spread and overall growth in assets and
liabilities. For the same comparative period, non-interest income excluding
securities gains increased by $84,000, led by growth in service charges and
mortgage banking fees. Non-interest expense increased by $311,000 for the first
three months of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 due primarily to
increases in salary and employee benefit expenses.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis was
$6,124,000 for the first three month period ending March 31, 2003 compared to
$5,624,000 for the same period of 2002, an increase of 8.9%. The interest rate
spread increased to 3.84% from 3.61%, and the net yield on earning assets
increased to 4.24% from 4.17% in the first three months of 2003 compared to the
same period of 2002.
Yields on earning assets declined due to decreases in interest rate
indexes which are used to price commercial loans, the scheduled re-pricing of
variable rate real estate loans to lower rates, the reinvestment of investment
portfolio cash flows into lower yielding investments, and the addition of new
loans at lower market rates of interest. As rates declined year-to-year,
management substantially reduced interest-bearing deposits in other banks, which
typically have a lower yield than other interest-earning assets. Interest-
bearing liability costs declined at a faster pace when compared to the
previous year, as management took aggressive steps to reprice interest-bearing
deposit accounts. This, coupled with the maturity-based repricing of
certificates of deposit, accounted for the 26.4% decline in interest expense.
Average interest-earning assets increased 7.0%, or $37,814,000 while
average interest-bearing liabilities grew 6.1%, or $27,105,000 between March 31,
2002 and March 31, 2003. During this time low cost non-interest bearing demand
11
deposit growth funded the majority of the difference between earning asset
growth and interest bearing deposit growth, represented 37.5% of total deposit
growth and now represents 12.8% of total deposits. These positive developments
in the balance sheet mix, coupled with the aggressive stance on deposit costs,
produced the improved interest rate spread.
During the first three months of 2003, the Federal Reserve held interest
rates unchanged, yet they were below the rates of one year prior. These
historically low rates kept the prime lending rate at 4.25% during the three
months ending March 31, 2003, which was lower than the 4.75% prime lending rate
during the same period of 2002. Many of the Corporation's assets reprice at the
prime lending rate or at a rate based on the rates on U.S. Treasury securities.
While the Corporation's balance sheet is liability-sensitive, many liabilities
have approached pricing floors while assets continue to reprice or be booked at
lower yields.
When compared to the fourth quarter of 2002, the interest rate spread and
net yield on earning assets in the first quarter of 2003 increased with a
positive trend noted. The interest rate spread improved from 3.77% in the fourth
quarter of 2003 to 3.84% during the first quarter of 2003. The net yield on
earning assets improved from 4.22% in the fourth quarter of 2002 to 4.24% during
the first quarter of 2003. This improvement was due to several factors including
faster growth in earning assets, a higher level of time deposits repricing to
lower market interest rates, growth in non-interest bearing demand deposits and
management's overall focus on managing the margin during the ongoing low rate
period experienced in 2003.
The following tables demonstrate fluctuations in net interest income and
the related yields for the first three months of 2003 compared to similar prior
year periods.

The following is an analysis of net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis. Nonaccrual loans are included in
average balances. Interest income on nonaccrual loans if recognized is recorded on a cash basis. (In thousands,

PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is to provide for losses inherent in the
loan portfolio. The Bank's Loan Committee has responsibility for determining the
level of the allowance for loan losses, subject to the review of the Board of
Directors. Among other factors, the Committee on a quarterly basis considers the
Corporation's historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan
portfolio, the value and adequacy of collateral and guarantors, non-performing
credits including impaired loans, the Bank's loan "Watch" list, and national and
local economic conditions.
The provision for loan losses was $240,000 for the first three months of
2003 versus $183,000 for the same period in 2002. Net charged off loans were
$91,000 for the first three months of 2003 versus $94,000 for the same period in
2002. The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average outstanding loans was
..09% in 2003 and .10% in 2002. Management considers these charge-off ratios
lower than those of their peer banks, who generally consider charge-off levels
of .10% to .40% to be within reasonable norms from a historical perspective.
The reserve for loan losses totaled $5,771,000 at March 31, 2003, an
increase of 2.7% over the $5,622,000 recorded at December 31, 2002. The ratio of
reserves to loans, less unearned discount, was 1.37% at March 31, 2003 versus
1.38% at December 31, 2002. Management believes that the allowance for loan
losses is adequate to absorb any inherent losses on existing loans in the
Corporation's loan portfolio at March 31, 2003.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income for the first three months of 2003 was $1,462,000,
an increase of 4.8% from $1,395,000 reported in the same period of 2002. The
comparative increase was due to increase in service charge income, mortgage
banking fees, and other fees and commissions which offset the market-driven
decline in trust and investment services revenue. Service charges on deposit
accounts grew 15.9% or $58,000 in the first three months of 2003 when compared
to the same period in 2002. Mortgage banking revenue increased 56.1% or $46,000
in the first three months of 2003 when compared to the same period in 2002.
Trust and investment services income of $606,000 during the first three
months of 2003 was down 9.0% compared to the same period in 2002. Because a
majority of trust account fees are calculated based on the market value of the
assets under management, the performance of the equity markets continues to
affect trust financial performance. The Bank's trust division managed accounts
whose market values approximated $291,000,000 at March 31, 2003, compared to
$332,000,000 one year prior, a 12.3% decline in asset value. The growth in new
trust business and increased management fees slightly offset the continued low
valuations in the financial markets, which negatively impacted asset values
under management.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense for the first three months of 2003 was $3,809,000,
an 8.9% increase from the $3,498,000 reported for the same period last year.
Salaries increased 10.8% from the same period last year to $1,721,000 in 2003
while pension and other employee benefits increased 19.5% to $448,000. The
salary increase is due to the growth in staff in the areas of trust and
investment services and lending, the accrual for incentive compensation which
was not accrued in the prior period, and overall annual salary increases.
Occupancy and equipment increased $29,000, or 4.7%, for the first three months
of 2003 from the same period in 2002. These increases were primarily the result
of the Henry County, Virginia office that opened in March 2002, increased
technology software and hardware costs, and increases in building maintenance
expenses.
14
Core deposit intangible amortization of $112,000 for the first three
months of 2003 and 2002 represents the amortization of the premium paid for
deposits acquired at the Gretna office in 1995 and Yanceyville office in 1996.
These are being amortized on a ten year straight-line basis.
The efficiency ratio, a productivity measure used to determine how well
non-interest expense is managed, was 50.29% and 49.97% for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. A lower efficiency ratio generally
indicates better expense efficiency. Leaders in expense efficiency in the
banking industry have achieved ratios in the 45% to 50% range while the majority
of the industry remains in the 60-70% range.
INCOME TAX PROVISION
The income tax provision for the first three months of 2003 was
$962,000, an increase of $70,000 from $892,000 reported a year earlier. The
effective tax rate for the first three months of 2003 was 29.2% compared to
28.9% for the same period of 2002.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
GENERAL
Total assets increased 1.4% to $614,177,000 at March 31, 2003 when
compared to assets of $605,859,000 at December 31, 2002. On an annual basis
total assets increased 6.9% at March 31, 2003 when compared to assets of
$574,559,000 at March 31, 2002.
For the first three months of 2003 asset growth has been concentrated
in the loan portfolio. Loans grew 3.3% or $13,349,000 to $419,752,000 at March
31, 2003, up from $406,403,000 at December 31, 2002. Loan growth has been
concentrated in the commercial and commercial real estate sectors of the
portfolio. The funding for the loan growth was through both deposit growth and a
decline in interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Total deposits grew 2.0% or
$9,515,000 to $483,077,000 at March 31, 2003 when compared to $473,562,000 at
December 31, 2002. Deposits grew in time deposits, savings accounts and money
market deposit accounts, with declines in demand deposit accounts.
Interest-bearing deposits in other banks declined 69.6% or $4,675,000 from
December 31, 2002 to March 31, 2003.
ASSET QUALITY
Non-performing loans include loans on which interest is no longer
accrued, accruing loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more as to
principal and interest payments, and loans classified as troubled debt
restructurings. Loans in a non-accrual status at March 31, 2003 were $448,000
compared with $301,000 at December 31, 2002, and $771,000 on March 31, 2002.
Loans on accrual status and past due 90 days or more at March 31, 2003 were
$214,000 compared with $239,000 at December 31, 2002, and $171,000 on March 31,
2002. There were no loans classified as troubled debt restructurings on March
31, 2003, December 31, 2002 or March 31, 2002.
Total non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.16% at
March 31, 2003, 0.13% at December 31, 2002, and 0.25% at March 31, 2002. The
Corporation's total non-performing loans are considered low by industry
standards.
Properties received due to loan foreclosures were $30,000 at March 31,
2003, $30,000 at December 31, 2002, and $117,000 at March 31, 2002.
The gross amount of interest income that would have been recorded on
non-accrual loans and restructured loans as of March 31, 2003, if all such loans
had been accruing interest at the original contractual rate, was $13,000 for the
15
three month period ending March 31, 2003. No interest payments were recorded as
interest income during the reporting period for all such non-performing loans.
LIQUIDITY
Management monitors and plans the Corporation's liquidity position for
future periods. Liquidity is provided from cash and due from banks,
interest-bearing deposits in other banks, repayments from loans, increases in
deposits, lines of credit from two correspondent banks and two federal agency
banks and a planned structured continuous maturity of investments. Management
believes that these factors provide sufficient and timely liquidity for the
foreseeable future.
Management also takes into account any liquidity needs generated by
off-balance sheet transactions such as commitments to extend credit, commitments
to purchase securities and standby letters of credit.
The Corporation's net liquid assets, which includes cash and due from
banks, unpledged government securities, unpledged other securities with
remaining maturities of less than two years, less the Bank's reserve
requirement, to net liabilities ratio was 18.3% at March 31, 2003 and 19.1% at
December 31, 2002. Both of these ratios are considered to reflect adequate
liquidity for the respective periods.
The Bank has a line of credit equal to 15% of assets with the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) that equaled approximately $92,038,000 with
$71,538,000 available at March 31, 2003. Should the Bank ever desire to increase
their line of credit beyond the current 15% limit, the FHLB would allow
borrowings of up to 40% of total assets once the bank meets specific eligibility
requirements.
The Bank also has federal funds lines of credit facilities established with
two other banks in the amounts of $12,000,000 and $5,000,000, as well as has
access to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's discount window should a
liquidity crisis occur. The Bank has not used these facilities in the past year
and considers these as backup sources of funds.
Borrowings outstanding under the FHLB line of credit were $21,500,000 at
March 31, 2003 and $22,000,000 at December 31, 2002. The Bank has nine fixed
rate term borrowing contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2003, with the
following final maturities:
Amount Expiration Date
--------- ---------------
500,000 July 2003
1,500,000 January 2004
1,500,000 July 2004
3,000,000 July 2005
1,000,000 July 2006
1,000,000 July 2007
3,000,000 June 2008
5,000,000 August 2008
5,000,000 April 2009
OFF-BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS
The Corporation enters into certain financial transactions in the ordinary
course of performing traditional banking services that result in off-balance
sheet transactions. The off-balance sheet transactions recognized as of March
31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were commitments to extent credit and standby
letters of credit only. The Corporation does not have any off-balance sheet
subsidiaries or special purpose entities.
Commitments to extend credit, which amount to $110,909,000 at March 31,
2003 and $107,771,000 at December 31, 2002, represent legally binding agreements
to lend to customers with fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.
Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being funded, the
total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity
requirements.
16
No commitments to purchase securities existed on March 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the
Bank guaranteeing the performance of a customer to a third party. Those
guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements. At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Bank had $3,704,000
and $3,489,000 respectively, in outstanding standby letters of credit.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The following table displays the changes in shareholders' equity from
December 31, 2002, to March 31, 2003:
Equity, December 31, 2002 $ 70,736,000
Net earnings 2,334,000
Repurchase of common stock (889,000)
Cash dividends paid (1,033,000)
Net change in accumulated other comprehensive income (231,000)
-------------
Equity, March 31, 2003 $ 70,917,000
=============
During the first quarter of 2003, the Corporation declared and paid a
quarterly cash dividend of $.18 per share. The dividend totaled $1,033,000 and
represented a 44.3% payout of first quarter 2003 net income.
The Corporation's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
300,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock between August 16, 2000 and
August 15, 2001, 250,000 shares between August 29, 2001 and August 28, 2002, and
250,000 shares between August 21, 2002 and August 19, 2003. The repurchases,
which may be made through open market purchases or in privately negotiated
transactions, were 35,000 shares during the first quarter of 2003 and total
374,466 shares since purchases began on August 16, 2000.
Federal regulatory risk-based capital ratio guidelines require
percentages to be applied to various assets including off-balance-sheet assets
in relation to their perceived risk. Tier I capital includes shareholders'
equity and Tier II capital includes certain components of nonpermanent preferred
stock and subordinated debt. The Corporation had no preferred stock or
subordinated debt outstanding. Banks and bank holding companies must have a Tier
I capital ratio of at least 4% and a total ratio, including Tier I and Tier II
capital, of at least 8%. As of March 31, 2003 the Corporation had a ratio of
14.23% for Tier I and a ratio of 15.45% for total capital. At December 31, 2002
these ratios were 14.41% and 15.63%, respectively.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The effective management of market risk is essential to achieving the
Corporation's objectives. Market risk reflects the risk of economic loss
resulting from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. This risk of
loss can be reflected in diminished current market values and/or reduced
potential net interest income in future periods. The Corporation is not subject
to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk.
As a financial institution, interest rate risk and its impact on net
interest income is the primary market risk exposure. The Asset/Liability
Investment Committee ("ALCO") is primarily responsible for establishing asset
and liability strategies and for monitoring and controlling liquidity and
interest rate risk.
17
ALCO uses computer simulation analysis to measure the sensitivity of
earnings and market value of equity to changes in interest rates. The projected
changes in net interest income and market value of portfolio equity ("MVE") to
changes in interest rates are calculated and monitored by ALCO as indicators of
interest rate risk. The projected changes in net interest income and MVE to
changes in interest rates at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were within
compliance of established policy guidelines. These projected changes are based
on numerous assumptions of growth and changes in the mix of assets or
liabilities. Net interest income for the next twelve months is projected to
increase when interest rates are higher than current rates and decrease when
interest rates are lower than current rates.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Corporation
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
the Corporation's management, including the Corporation's Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act
Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Corporation's Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation's disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material
information relating to the Corporation (including its consolidated
subsidiaries) required to be included in periodic SEC filings. There have been
no significant changes in the Corporation's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date
the Corporation carries out its evaluation.
