Note 4. - Capital Requirements

Regulators of the corporation and its subsidiaries have implemented risk-based
capital guidelines which require the maintenance of certain minimum capital as a
percent of assets and certain off-balance sheet



items adjusted for predefined credit risk factors. The regulatory minimum for
Tier 1 and combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital ratios were 4.0% and 8.0%,
respectively. Tier 1 capital includes tangible common shareholder's equity
reduced by goodwill and certain other intangibles. Tier 2 capital includes
portions of the allowance for loan losses, not to exceed Tier 1 capital. In
addition to the risk-based guidelines, a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital
as a percentage of average total consolidated assets) of 4.0% is required. This
minimum may be increased by at least 1.0% or 2.0% for entities with higher
levels of risk or that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth. The
following table contains the capital ratios for the Corporation and its
subsidiary as of June 30, 2002.

Entity Tier 1 Combined Capital Leverage
- ------ ------ ---------------- --------

Highlands Bankshares, Inc ..... 11.51% 12.71% 7.75%

Highlands Union Bank .......... 9.78% 11.00% 6.54%

Note 5 - Capital Securities

The Company completed a $7.5 million dollar capital issue on January 23, 1998.
These trust preferred debt securities were issued by Highlands Capital Trust, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Highlands Bankshares, Inc. These securities were
issued at a 9.25% fixed rate with a 30 year term and a 10 year call provision at
the Company's discretion. This capital was raised to meet current and future
opportunities of the Company.

Note 6 - Earnings Per Share

The number of shares used for the computation of diluted earnings per share
includes stock options outstanding. The total number of shares for diluted
earnings per share at June 30, 2002 and 2001 were 2,752,068 and 2,718,082,
respectively.

Note 7 - Dividend Reinvestment and Optional Cash Purchase Plan

On March 1, 2002 the Company initiated a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock
Purchase Plan for its current shareholders. This plan will enable shareholders
to reinvest their cash dividends to purchase additional shares of the Company's
common stock. Shareholders also have the option to make additional cash
purchases of stock from $100 to $5,000 per quarter. The plan will attempt to
purchase the stock for this plan in the open market; if it cannot fully
subscribe with open market purchases then it will purchase the remaining
necessary shares from the 50,000 shares allocated to the plan. For the March
quarter end, the Plan received $92,038.91 in dividends reinvested and optional
cash purchases from plan participants. The Plan purchased 3,048 shares of the
Company's common stock in the open market at $25.50 per share and 561.369 shares
of the Company's common stock from the 50,000 shares reserved for the plan at
$25.50 per share.



PART 1. ITEM 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is provided to address information about
the Company's financial condition and results of operations that is not
otherwise apparent from the consolidated financial statements incorporated by
reference or included in this report. Reference should be made to those
statements for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis.

Results of Operations

Results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002
reflected net income of $1.00 million and $1.92 million, respectively, an
increase of 29.12% and 27.30% over net income for the corresponding periods in
2001. This increase is due primarily to the increase in the Bank's net interest
margin. During the last year the Bank has been in a liability sensitive position
with its GAP. This means that the Bank's interest-bearing liabilities have been
repricing faster than its interest-earning assets. With the Federal Open Market
Committee cutting rates eleven times this has significantly improved the Bank's
core earning potential. Operating results of the Company when measured as a
percentage of average equity reveals an increase of return on average equity for
the six-month period from 12.12% in 2001 to 13.54% for the corresponding period
in 2002.

Return on average assets at 0.83% reflects an increase of 13.70% over the
comparable 2001 period.

Net interest income for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2002
increased 28.22% and 24.73%, respectively, or approximately $928 thousand and
$1.65 million over the comparable 2001 periods. Average interest-earning assets
increased approximately $44.29 million from June 30, 2001 to the current period
while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $35.18 million during the
same comparative period. The tax-equivalent yield on average interest-earning
assets was 7.31% in 2002 representing a decrease of 112 basis points over the
yield of 8.43% in 2001. The yield on average interest-bearing liabilities
decreased 188 basis points to 3.87% in 2002 as compared to 5.75% in 2001.
Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased $118
thousand over the comparable 2001 period.

The first three-month's and six-month's provision for possible loan losses
totaled $575 thousand and $987 thousand, respectively, a $252 thousand and $234
thousand increase from the corresponding periods in 2001. The Company
continually monitors the loan portfolio for signs of credit weaknesses or
developing collection problems. Levels for each period are determined after
evaluating the loan portfolio and determining the level necessary to absorb
current charge-offs and maintain the reserve at adequate levels. Net charge-offs
through the second quarter of 2002 were $640 thousand compared with $544
thousand in 2001. Year-to-date net charge-offs were .19% and .18% of total loans
for the periods ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001. Loan loss reserves
increased 19.22% to $3.76 million at June 30, 2002 from the comparable 2001
period. Reserves as of June 30, 2002 represent 1.12% of total loans versus 1.02%
for the 2001 period.



Financial Position

Total loans have increased from $308.45 million at June 30, 2001 to $335.72
million at June 30, 2002. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, total
loans have increased by $10.26 million. The loan to deposit ratio has increased
from 83.42% at June 30, 2001 and 83.01% at December 31, 2001 to 84.65% at June
30, 2002. The majority of the Company's loan growth for the first six months of
2002 has primarily been in real estate secured loans. This group of loans has
grown $14.35 million or 6.75% from December 31, 2001. During this same time
period consumer loans have decreased by $5.89 million or 8.77%. Loan demand
continues at a moderate pace even during a period of economic uncertainty and
within a competitive market area.

Non-performing assets are comprised of loans on non-accrual status and loans
contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.
Non-performing assets were $3.05 million at June 30, 2002 or 0.99% of total
loans, compared with $1.69 million or 0.55% at June 30, 2001 and $2.06 million
or 0.63% at December 31, 2001. This increase in non-performing loans, at June
30, 2002, can be attributed in large part to a decrease in the economic
conditions within the Company's primary market areas. The downturn in the
economy has resulted in a number of plant layoffs and downsizing that have
contributed to this increase in non-performing assets.

Securities totaled approximately $96.12 million (market value) at June 30, 2002
that reflects a decrease of $4.37 million or -4.44% from the December 31, 2001
total of $98.30 million. Securities, as of June 30, 2002 are comprised of
Mortgage Backed Securities (approximately 57.56% of the total), municipal issues
(approximately 28.01% of the securities portfolio), Collateralized Mortgage
Obligations (CMO's) (approximately 1.33% of the securities portfolio), Corporate
Bonds (approximately 2.31% of the total), SBA backed securities (approximately
0.46% of the total), Asset-Backed securities (approximately 1.05% of the total)
and equity securities (approximately 9.28% of the securities portfolio). The
Company's entire security portfolio is classified as available for sale for both
2002 and 2001. Other investments include the Bank's holdings of Federal Reserve,
Federal Home Loan Bank and Community Bankers' Bank stock. These investments
(carrying value of $2.18 million) are considered to be restricted as the Company
is required to hold these investments and the only market for these investments
is the issuing agency.

In June of 2002, the Company purchased $7.00 million of Bank Owned Life
Insurance covering the lives of selected officers as well as the Directors of
the Corporation. The earnings related to the insurance policies will be used to
offset future employee benefit costs.

Total stockholders' equity of the Company was $29.53 million at June 30, 2002,
representing an increase of $3.95 million or 15.44% over June 30, 2001. Total
stockholders' equity at December 31, 2001 was $27.45 million. The Company
maintains a significant level of liquidity in the form of cash and cash
equivalents ($15.24 million at June 30, 2002) and investment securities
available for sale ($93.93 million). Cash and cash equivalents are immediately
available for satisfaction of deposit withdrawals, customer credit needs, and
operations of the Company. Investment securities available for sale represent a
secondary level of liquidity available for conversion to liquid funds in the
event of extraordinary needs.

PART 1. ITEM 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk (IRR) and Asset Liability Management

The Company's profitability is dependent to a large extent upon its net interest
income (NII), which is the difference between its interest income on
interest-bearing assets, such as loans and investments, and its interest expense
on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company,
like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the
degree that its interest-earning assets reprice differently than its
interest-bearing liabilities. The Company manages its mix of assets and
liabilities with the goals of limiting its exposure to interest rate risk,
ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating its sources and uses of funds.
Specific strategies for management of interest rate risk (IRR) on the lending
side of the balance sheet have included the use of ballooning fixed rate loans
and maintaining a significant level of 1, 3 and 5-year adjustable rate
mortgages. On the investment side the Company maintains a significant portion of
its portfolio in adjustable rate securities. These strategies help to reduce the
average maturity of the Company's interest-earning assets.

The Company attempts to control its IRR exposure to protect net interest income
and net earnings from fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. To
measure its exposure to IRR, the Company performs monthly simulations of NII
using financial models that project NII through a range of possible interest
rate environments including rising, declining, flat and most likely rate
scenarios. The result of these simulations indicate the existence and severity
of IRR in each of those rate environments based upon the current balance sheet
position and assumptions as to changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities and management's estimate of yields
attainable in those future rate environments and rates which will be paid on
various deposit instruments and borrowings. The Company runs these rate shock
scenarios for twelve and twenty-four month projections out from the current
month of the model.

Over the past 9 months, management has made a concerted effort to shift a
portion of its short-term liablilities to longer-term maturities. This is being
done to help maintain a favorable interest spread once interest rates rise in
the future. The Company has been able to achieve this balance sheet
restructuring in several ways. Beginning in August of 2001, the Company began
offering higher than market rates on its 24 month, 36 month, 48 month and 60
month certificates of deposit accounts and individual retirement accounts. By
doing this the Company was able to shift existing customers' time deposits, as
well as attracting new time deposit customers, to longer term maturities. The
Company has also seen significant increases in its 1-4 family mortgage lending.
The increase in this loan category has been primarily in adjustable rate
mortgages with one and three-year interest rate resets.



The earnings sensitivity measurements completed on a monthly basis indicate that
the performance criteria against which sensitivity is measured, are currently
within the Company's defined policy limits. A more complete discussion of the
overall interest rate risk is included in the Company's Form 10-K annual report
for December 31, 2001.
