PART I

Item 1. Business

General

Grayson Bankshares, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated as a Virginia
corporation on February 3, 1992 to acquire 100% of the stock of The Grayson
National Bank (the Bank). The Bank was acquired by the Company on July 1, 1992.
The Grayson National Bank was founded in 1900 and currently serves Grayson
County and surrounding areas through six banking offices located in the town of
Independence, the localities of Elk Creek and Troutdale and the City of Galax,
Virginia, and the Town of Sparta, North Carolina.

The Bank operates for the primary purpose of meeting the banking needs
of individuals and small to medium sized businesses in the Bank's service area,
while developing personal, hometown associations with these customers. The Bank
offers a wide range of banking services including checking and savings accounts;
commercial, installment, mortgage and personal loans; safe deposit boxes; and
other associated services. The Bank's primary sources of revenue are interest
income from its lending activities, and, to a lesser extent, from its investment
portfolio. The Bank also earns fees from lending and deposit activities. The
major expenses of the Bank are interest on deposit accounts and general and
administrative expenses, such as salaries, occupancy and related expenses.

Lending Activities

The Bank's lending services include real estate, commercial,
agricultural and consumer loans. The loan portfolio constituted 70.76% of the
earning assets of the Bank at December 31, 2002 and has historically produced
the highest interest rate spread above the cost of funds. The Bank's loan
personnel have the authority to extend credit under guidelines established and
approved by the Board of Directors. Any aggregate credit which exceeds the
authority of the loan officer is forwarded to the loan committee for approval.
The loan committee is composed of the Bank President and all loan officers. All
aggregate credits that exceed the loan committee's lending authority are
presented to the full Board of Directors for ultimate approval or denial. The
loan committee not only acts as an approval body to ensure consistent
application of the Bank's loan policy but also provides valuable insight through
communication and pooling of knowledge, judgment and experience of its members.

The Bank has in the past and intends to continue to make most types of
real estate loans, including but not limited to, single and multi-family
housing, farm loans, residential and commercial construction loans and loans for
commercial real estate. At the end of 2002 the Bank had 46.86% of the loan
portfolio in single and multi-family housing, 23.39% in non-farm,
non-residential loans, 4.83% in farm related real estate loans and 3.86% in real
estate construction loans.

The Bank's loan portfolio includes commercial and agricultural
production loans totaling 12.13% of the portfolio at year-end 2002. Consumer
loans make up approximately 9.43% of the total loan portfolio. Consumer loans
include loans for household expenditures, car loans and other loans to
individuals. While this category has experienced a greater percentage of
charge-offs than the other classifications, the Bank is committed to continue to
make this type of loan to fill the needs of the Bank's customer base.

All loans in the Bank's portfolio are subject to risk from the state of
the economy in the Bank's area and also that of the nation. The Bank has used
and continues to use conservative loan-to-value ratios and thorough credit
evaluation to lessen the risk on all types of loans. The use of conservative
appraisals

4


has also reduced exposure on real estate loans. Thorough credit checks and
evaluation of past internal credit history has helped to reduce the amount of
risk related to consumer loans. Government guarantees of loans are used when
appropriate, but apply to a minimal percentage of the portfolio. Commercial
loans are evaluated by collateral value and ability to service debt. Businesses
seeking loans must have a good product line and sales, responsible management,
manageable debt load and a product that is not adversely affected by downturns
in the economy.

Investments

The Bank invests a portion of its assets in U.S. Treasury and U.S.
Government corporation and agency obligations, state, county and municipal
obligations, and equity securities. The Bank's investments are managed in
relation to loan demand and deposit growth, and are generally used to provide
for the investment of excess funds at reduced yields and risks relative to
increases in loan demand or to offset fluctuations in deposits. The Bank does
not engage in any hedging activities. For additional information relating to
investments, see "Financial Information."

Deposit Activities

Deposits are the major source of funds for lending and other investment
activities. Grayson National Bank considers the majority of its regular savings,
demand, NOW and money market deposits and small denomination certificates of
deposit, to be core deposits. These accounts comprised approximately 83.0% of
the Bank's total deposits at December 31, 2002. Certificates of deposit in
denominations of $100,000 or more represented the remaining 17.0% of deposits at
year-end.

Competition

The Company encounters strong competition both in making loans and in
attracting deposits. The deregulation of the banking industry and the widespread
enactment of state laws which permit multi-bank holding companies as well as an
increasing level of interstate banking have created a highly competitive
environment for commercial banking. In one or more aspects of its business, the
Company competes with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations,
credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage
and investment banking companies, and other financial intermediaries. Many of
these competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits and
may offer certain services that we do not currently provide. In addition, many
of Grayson Bankshares, Inc.'s competitors are not subject to the same extensive
federal regulations that govern bank holding companies and federally insured
banks. Recent federal and state legislation has heightened the competitive
environment in which financial institutions must conduct their business, and the
potential for competition among financial institutions of all types has
increased significantly.

To compete, the Company relies upon specialized services, responsive
handling of customer needs, and personal contacts by its officers, directors,
and staff. Large multi-branch banking competitors tend to compete primarily by
rate and the number and location of branches while smaller, independent
financial institutions tend to compete primarily by rate and personal service.

Currently, in Grayson County the Company competes with only two other
commercial banks, which operate a total of three branch banking facilities. As
of June 30, 2002, Grayson Bankshares, Inc. held 83.54% of the deposits in
Grayson County. In the City of Galax the Company competes with six other
commercial banks. Since opening in May of 1996 we have captured a market share
of 15.42% of deposits to become the third largest holder of deposits in the
market. Mountain National Bank leads the market with 32.94% of deposits as of
June 30, 2002.

Employees

At December 31, 2002, the Company had 73 full time equivalent
employees, none of which are represented by a union or covered by a collective
bargaining agreement. Management considers employee relations to be good.

Government Supervision and Regulation

The following discussion is a summary of the principal laws and
regulations that comprise the regulatory framework applicable to the Company and
the Bank. Other laws and regulations that govern various aspects of the
operations of banks and bank holding companies are not described herein,
although violations of such laws and regulations could result in supervisory
enforcement action against the Company or the Bank. The following descriptions,
as well as descriptions of laws and regulations contained elsewhere in this
filing, summarize the material terms of the principal laws and regulations and
are qualified in their entirety by reference to applicable laws and regulations.

As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation under
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (as amended, the "BHCA") and the
examination and reporting requirements of the Federal Reserve. Under the BHCA, a
bank holding company may not directly or indirectly acquire ownership or control
of more than 5% of the voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any
additional bank or merge or consolidate with another bank holding company
without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve. The BHCA also generally
limits the activities of a bank holding company to that of banking, managing or
controlling banks, or any other activity which is determined to be so closely
related to banking or to managing or controlling banks that an exception is
allowed for those activities.

As a national bank, The Grayson National Bank is subject to regulation,
supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
("OCC"). The Bank is also subject to regulation, supervision and examination by
the FDIC. Federal law also governs the activities in which the Bank may engage,
the investments it may make and limits the aggregate amount of loans that may be
granted to one borrower to 15% of the bank's capital and surplus. Various
consumer and compliance laws and regulations also affect the Bank's operations.

The earnings of the Bank, and therefore the earnings of the Company,
are affected by general economic conditions, management policies and the
legislative and governmental actions of various regulatory authorities,
including those referred to above.

The OCC will conduct regular examinations of the Bank, reviewing such
matters as the adequacy of loan loss reserves, quality of loans and investments,
management practices, compliance with laws, and other aspects of its operations.
In addition to these regular examinations, the Bank must furnish the OCC with
periodic reports containing a full and accurate statement of its affairs.
Supervision, regulation and examination of banks by these agencies are intended
primarily for the protection of depositors rather than shareholders.

Insurance of Accounts, Assessments and Regulation by the FDIC. The
deposits of The Grayson National Bank are insured by the FDIC up to the limits
set forth under applicable law. The deposits of the Bank are also subject to the
deposit insurance assessments of the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the FDIC.

The FDIC has implemented a risk-based deposit insurance assessment
system under which the assessment rate for an insured institution may vary
according to regulatory capital levels of the institution and other factors
(including supervisory evaluations). Under this system, depository institutions
are

6


charged anywhere from zero to $.27 for every $100 in insured domestic deposits,
based on such institutions' capital levels and supervisory subgroup assignment.
These rate schedules are subject to future adjustments by the FDIC. In addition,
the FDIC has authority to impose special assessments from time to time. The BIF
reached its required 1.25 reserve ratio in 1995, and in response the FDIC
reduced deposit insurance assessment rates on BIF-insured deposits to historic
low levels. However, due to legislation enacted in 1996 which requires that both
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")-insured deposits and BIF-insured
deposits pay a pro rata portion of the interest due on the obligations issued by
the Financing Corporation ("FICO"), the FDIC has imposed additional assessments
on BIF-insured deposits.

The FDIC is authorized to prohibit any BIF-insured institution from
engaging in any activity that the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose
a serious threat to the respective insurance fund. Also, the FDIC may initiate
enforcement actions against banks, after first giving the institution's primary
regulatory authority an opportunity to take such action. The FDIC may terminate
the deposit insurance of any depository institution if it determines, after a
hearing, that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound
practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has
violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed in
writing by the FDIC. It also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during
the hearing process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the
institution has no tangible capital. If deposit insurance is terminated, the
deposits at the institution at the time of termination, less subsequent
withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a period from six months to two
years, as determined by the FDIC. Management is aware of no existing
circumstances that could result in termination of The Grayson National Bank's
deposit insurance.

Capital. The OCC and the Federal Reserve have issued risk-based and
leverage capital guidelines applicable to banking organizations they supervise.
Under the risk-based capital requirements, the Company and the Bank are each
generally required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted
assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters
of credit) of 8%. At least half of the total capital is to be composed of common
equity, retained earnings and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, less certain
intangibles ("Tier 1 capital"). The remainder may consist of certain
subordinated debt, certain hybrid capital instruments and other qualifying
preferred stock and a limited amount of the loan loss allowance ("Tier 2
capital" and, together with Tier 1 capital, "total capital").

In addition, each of the Federal banking regulatory agencies has
established minimum leverage capital ratio requirements for banking
organizations. These requirements provide for a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1
capital to adjusted average quarterly assets equal to 3% for bank holding
companies that are rated a composite "1" and 4% for all other bank holding
companies. Bank holding companies are expected to maintain higher than minimum
capital ratios if they have supervisory, financial, operational or managerial
weaknesses, or if they are anticipating or experiencing significant growth.

The risk-based capital standards of the OCC and the Federal Reserve
explicitly identify concentrations of credit risk and the risk arising from
non-traditional activities, as well as an institution's ability to manage these
risks, as important factors to be taken into account by the agency in assessing
an institution's overall capital adequacy. The capital guidelines also provide
that an institution's exposure to a decline in the economic value of its capital
due to changes in interest rates be considered by the agency as a factor in
evaluating a bank's capital adequacy. The OCC and the Federal Reserve also have
recently issued additional capital guidelines for bank holding companies that
engage in certain trading activities.

Other Safety and Soundness Regulations. There are a number of
obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding companies and their
depository institution subsidiaries by Federal law and regulatory policy that
are designed to reduce potential loss exposure to the depositors of such
depository

7


institutions and to the FDIC insurance funds in the event the depository
institution becomes in danger of default or is in default. For example, under a
policy of the Federal Reserve with respect to bank holding company operations, a
bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to
its subsidiary depository institutions and to commit resources to support such
institutions in circumstances where it might not do so otherwise. In addition,
the "cross-guarantee" provisions of Federal law require insured depository
institutions under common control to reimburse the FDIC for any loss suffered or
reasonably anticipated by the BIF as a result of the default of a commonly
controlled insured depository institution or for any assistance provided by the
FDIC to a commonly controlled insured depository institution in danger of
default. The FDIC may decline to enforce the cross-guarantee provision if it
determines that a waiver is in the best interests of the BIF. The FDIC's claim
for reimbursement is superior to claims of shareholders of the insured
depository institution or its holding company but is subordinate to claims of
depositors, secured creditors and holders of subordinated debt (other than
affiliates) of the commonly controlled insured depository institution.

The Federal banking agencies also have broad powers under current
Federal law to take prompt corrective action to resolve problems of insured
depository institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act requires that the
federal banking agencies establish five capital levels for insured depository
institutions - "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized,"
"significantly undercapitalized," and "critically undercapitalized." It also
requires or permits such agencies to take certain supervisory actions should an
insured institution's capital level fall. For example, an "adequately
capitalized" institution is restricted from accepting brokered deposits. An
"undercapitalized" or "significantly undercapitalized" institution must develop
a capital restoration plan and is subject to a number of mandatory and
discretionary supervisory actions. These powers and authorities are in addition
to the traditional powers of the Federal banking agencies to deal with
undercapitalized institutions.

Federal regulatory authorities also have broad enforcement powers over
the Company and the Bank, including the power to impose fines and other civil
and criminal penalties, and to appoint a receiver in order to conserve the
assets of any such institution for the benefit of depositors and other
creditors.

Payment of Dividends. The Company is a legal entity separate and
distinct from the Bank. Virtually all of the revenues of the Company results
from dividends paid to the Company by the Bank. Under OCC regulations a national
bank may not declare a dividend in excess of its undivided profits.
Additionally, a national bank may not declare a dividend if the total amount of
all dividends, including the proposed dividend, declared by the national bank in
any calendar year exceeds the total of the national bank's retained net income
of that year to date, combined with its retained net income of the two preceding
years, unless the dividend is approved by the OCC. A national bank may not
declare or pay any dividend if, after making the dividend, the national bank
would be "undercapitalized," as defined in regulations of the OCC. The Company
is subject to state laws that limit the amount of dividends it can pay. In
addition, the Company is subject to various general regulatory policies relating
to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain adequate capital
above regulatory minimums. The Federal Reserve has indicated that banking
organizations should generally pay dividends only if, (1) the organization's net
income available to common shareholders over the past year has been sufficient
to fully fund the dividends, and (2) the prospective rate of earnings retention
appears consistent with the organization's capital needs, asset quality and
overall financial condition.

Community Reinvestment. The requirements of the Community Reinvestment
Act ("CRA") are applicable to the Bank. The CRA imposes on financial
institutions an affirmative and ongoing obligation to meet the credit needs of
their local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods,
consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions. A financial
institution's efforts in meeting community credit needs currently are evaluated
as part of the examination process pursuant to

8


twelve assessment factors. These factors also are considered in evaluating
mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or facility.

Interstate Banking and Branching. Current Federal law authorizes
interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies without geographic
limitation. Effective June 1, 1997, a bank headquartered in one state is able to
merge with a bank headquartered in another state, as long as neither of the
states has opted out of such interstate merger authority prior to such date.
States are authorized to enact laws permitting such interstate bank merger
transactions prior to June 1, 1997, as well as authorizing a bank to establish
"de novo" interstate branches. Virginia enacted early "opt in" laws, permitting
interstate bank merger transactions. Once a bank has established branches in a
state through an interstate merger transaction, the bank may establish and
acquire additional branches at any location in the state where a bank
headquartered in that state could have established or acquired branches under
applicable Federal or state law.

Economic and Monetary Polices. The operations of the Company are
affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the economic and
monetary policies of various regulatory authorities. In particular, the Federal
Reserve regulates money, credit and interest rates in order to influence general
economic conditions. These policies have a significant influence on overall
growth and distribution of loans, investments and deposits and affect interest
rates charged on loans or paid for time and savings deposits. Federal Reserve
monetary policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of
commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the
future.
