Item I. Business
- ----------------
General
-------
Highlands Bankshares Inc. (the "Corporation") was incorporated in Virginia
in 1995 to serve as the holding company for Highlands Union Bank, (the "Bank").
The stockholders of the Bank approved the Plan of Reorganization at the Annual
Meeting on December 13, 1995, and the reorganization was consummated on December
29, 1995 with the Bank becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.
The Bank is a state charted bank with principal offices in Abingdon, Virginia.
The Bank was incorporated in 1985.
At December 31, 2000, the Corporation had total assets of $405,212,000,
deposits of $346,315,000, and net worth of $24,183,000.
The Corporation's principal business activities, which are conducted
through the Bank, are attracting checking and savings deposits from the general
public through its retail banking offices and originating and servicing loans
secured by first mortgage liens on single-family dwellings, including
condominium units. All of the retail banking offices are located in Virginia and
Tennessee. The Corporation also lends funds to retail banking customers by means
of home equity and installment loans, and originates residential construction
loans and loans secured by commercial property, multi-family dwellings and
manufactured housing units. The Corporation opened an indirect lending
department in 1997. The majority of indirect lending originates through new and
used car dealerships. The indirect lending portfolio comprises a significant
portion of the total consumer loan portfolio. The Corporation invests in certain
U.S. Government and agency obligations and other investments permitted by
applicable laws and regulations. The operating results of the Corporation are
highly dependent on net interest income, the difference between interest income
earned on loans and investments and the cost of checking and savings deposits
and borrowed funds.
The Bank is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"),
and its deposit accounts are insured up to $100,000 as applied by FDIC
guidelines. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System, as such,
the Bank and the Corporation are subject to the supervision, regulation and
examination of the Federal Reserve. As a Virginia state chartered bank the Bank
is also subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the Virginia State
Corporation Commission.
The Corporation has two direct subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000. The
Bank which was formed in 1985 and Highlands Capital Trust I, a statutory
business trust (the "Trust") which was created by the Corporation on January 21,
1998. The Corporation's material assets as of December 31, 2000 include: cash in
bank of approximately $551 thousand; building and land with a net book value of
approximately $1.4 million; approximately $3.7 million in loan participations
from the subsidiary bank; approximately $151 thousand in investment securities;
approximately $383 thousand in other assets; and its investment in subsidiaries,
approximately $25.6 million. The Corporation's only material liability is the
note payable on the trust preferred debentures issued in January of 1998, $7.5
million.
3
The Bank had one direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Highlands Union Insurance
Services, Inc., that became effective on October 8, 1999. This entity is still
in the startup stage as of December 31, 2000 and is anticipated to become fully
operational during 2001. This entity will be used to sell insurance services
through the Bankers' Insurance, LLC.
As of December 31, 2000 the Corporation operates seven full service and one
express facility throughout Washington County, Virginia, the City of Bristol,
Virginia, Marion, Virginia, Glade Spring, Virginia, and Rogersville, Tennessee.
The Corporation also operates twenty-three off-site ATM's throughout the service
areas listed above as well as Russell County and Wythe County, Virginia. On
January 16, 2001 the Bank opened a full service branch located in Boone, North
Carolina.
The results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000,
1999, and 1998 ("fiscal year 2000", "fiscal year 1999" and "fiscal year 1998",
respectively) reflect the Corporation's strategies of expanding its community
banking operations.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis" of operations and financial
condition, included as part of the Annual Report to Stockholders, for a detailed
discussion of certain aspects of the Corporation's business.
Lending Activities
------------------
Residential Mortgage Lending
- ----------------------------
The Bank's lending policy is generally to lend up to 80% of the appraised
value of residential property. The Corporation lends up to 95% of the appraised
value with the normal requirement of insurance from private mortgage insurance
companies. This insurance normally covers amounts in excess of 80% loan to value
up to 95%.
The in-house residential mortgages are comprised of primarily one, three
and five year adjustable rate mortgages and 15 year fixed rate mortgages.
Adjustable rate mortgages are indexed to 275 basis points over the average yield
on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one,
three or five years. An adjustment limitation (increase or decrease) of 2% per
annum applies to the one year adjustable product. A 4% lifetime cap over the
initial rate of the loan is included in the one, three and five year adjustable
rate mortgages.
The Bank's existing loan contracts generally provide for repayment of
residential mortgage loans over periods ranging from 15 to 30 years. However,
such loans normally have remained outstanding for much shorter periods of time
as borrowers refinance or prepay their loans through the sale of their homes.
Most of the Bank's residential mortgage loans have "due on sale" clauses
which allows the creditor the right to declare a loan immediately due and
payable in the event the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real
property. Most of the Bank's residential mortgage loans are not assumable.
Mortgage loans exceeding $450,000 but less than $750,000 must be approved
by the loan committee of the Board of Directors. Mortgage loans in excess of
$750,000 must be approved by the Board of Directors.
All of the Bank's mortgage lending is subject to loan origination
procedures established by the Board of Directors. Most originations require a
property valuation by state licensed appraisers, for a fee, approved by the
Board of Directors. Loan applications are obtained to determine the borrowers
ability to repay. Significant items are verified through the use of credit
reports, financial statements, etc.
4
It is generally the Bank's policy to require title insurance on first
mortgage loans in excess of $100,000 (lower where deemed necessary). It is also
the Bank's general policy to require an attorney's opinion statement on all
first mortgage deeds of trust. Fire and casualty insurance (extended coverage)
is generally required on all property serving as security for these loans.
Hazard insurance and flood insurance (where required) is generally provided by
the customer prior to closing of the loan. The borrower is generally responsible
for paying insurance premiums and real estate taxes.
Federal regulations allow the Bank to originate loans on real estate within
the State of Virginia, and within limits, to originate and purchase loans or
loan participations secured by real estate located in any part of the United
States. During fiscal year 2000 the Bank's primary lending area was Washington
County, Virginia , the City of Bristol, Virginia, and Smyth County, Virginia.
Residential loan originations come from many sources. Some of these sources
include existing customers, walk-in applications, referrals from real estate
brokers and others.
Federal regulation limits loans to one borrower to a maximum of 15% of
unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus of the Bank.
The Bank receives fees in addition to interest in connection with real
estate loan originations, loan modifications, late payments, etc. Income from
these activities varies from period to period depending on the volume and type
of loan made. Although not a significant portion of the Corporation's income,
late charges are received when monthly payments are delinquent but are later
paid.
The Bank also offers secondary market fixed rate mortgages with terms up to
30 years and up to 95% loan to value. These loans and servicing rights are
generally sold immediately into the secondary market and fees received booked
into income. These loans must meet certain criteria generally set by the
secondary market and are not a significant portion of the Bank's residential
mortgage activity.
Residential mortgages, including equity lines of credit, made up
approximately 36.93% of the loan portfolio as of December 31, 2000.
Construction and Commercial Real Estate Lending
- -----------------------------------------------
The Bank generally makes construction loans for periods up to one year on
residential and commercial real estate property. These loans are for interim
financing and are either paid off or converted to permanent financing when
completed. At December 31, 2000 outstanding construction loans (net of
undisbursed funds) totaled $4,083,000. These loans are generally made at 80% or
less of appraised value at completion. Funds are advanced as the project is
completed after an inspection by a staff inspector or the appraiser as deemed
appropriate. These loans are made based on established corporate underwriting
standards. Most of these construction loans are one to four family dwellings.
The Bank generally charges a 1% origination fee on these construction loans in
addition to applicable interest.
Loans on commercial properties, multi-family dwellings, and apartment
buildings are typically made at 75% to 80% of the appraised value. These loans
totaled $64,734,000 or 22.18% of total loans held for investment at December 31,
2000.
Commercial and construction loans, by nature, entail additional risk as
compared to residential mortgage lending. They are generally more complex and
involve larger balances than typical residential mortgages. Payments are
typically dependent upon successful operation of a related real estate project
or business as compared to individual earnings on most residential mortgages.
Therefore, the market risk is somewhat greater. Construction delays, cost
overruns or the inability of the contractor to sell the finished product add an
element of risk to such lending.
5
Consumer lending
- ----------------
The Bank offers other types of loans in addition to real estate mortgage
and construction loans. Consumer loans of many types are offered by the
Corporation. Some of these loans are loans to purchase automobiles, boats,
recreational vehicles and manufactured housing, as well as other secured and
unsecured consumer loans. The Bank further makes loans secured by savings
accounts at 2% above the rate of the savings instrument. The terms generally do
not exceed ten years for manufactured housing loans and five years on other
consumer loans. Outstanding consumer loans at December 31, 2000 were
$70,402,000.
Commercial and agriculture non-real estate loans
- ------------------------------------------------
The Bank also makes commercial (including agriculture) non-real estate
loans. These loans in general have higher risk associated with them than real
estate loans. They are generally secured by inventory, equipment, accounts
receivable, etc., or unsecured in some cases backed by appropriate financial
condition as per the underwriting standards of the Bank. Agriculture loans are
generally secured by machinery, equipment, other miscellaneous assets or
unsecured in keeping with the underwriting standards of the Bank. The timely pay
back is dependent upon the successful operation of the business or farm. The
outstanding balance of non-real estate commercial loans was $36,541,000 at
December 31, 2000 and the outstanding balance of non-real estate agriculture
loans was $3,214,000 at December 31, 2000.
Investments
-----------
Investment Securities
- ---------------------
The Corporation invests in mortgage-backed securities, agency notes and
bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO's), municipal bonds, equity
securities and United States Treasury Notes.
A substantial portion of the mortgage-backed security portfolio consists of
securities that are either insured or guaranteed by FHLMC, FNMA or GNMA.
Guaranteed securities are more liquid than individual mortgage loans. At
December 31, 2000 the Corporation's mortgage-backed securities portfolio had a
carrying value of $61,002,000 or 15.05% of total assets compared to $51,099,000
or 14.26% of total assets at December 31, 1999. Amortized costs of mortgage-
backed securities were $61,094,000 at December 31, 2000 and $51,594,000 for the
comparable 1999 period. Due to repayments and prepayments of the underlying
loans, the actual maturities of mortgage-backed securities are expected to be
substantially less than the scheduled maturities.
The Corporation also holds investments in CMO's with a market value at
December 31, 2000 of $1,406,000 and amortized cost of $1,421,000 compared to a
market value of $11,170,000 and amortized cost of $11,240,000 at December 31,
1999.
The Corporation held no investments in United States Treasury Notes for the
comparable periods ending December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999.
6
The Corporation had $4,084,000 and $4,206,000 in United States Government-
sponsored Agency Obligations at December 31, 2000 and 1999 respectively. These
investments represent approximately 1.01% and 1.17% of total assets at those
dates.
The Corporation holds the following equity investments: Federal Reserve
Bank Stock of $295,400 for the periods ending December 31, 2000 and 1999
respectively; Federal Home Loan Bank Stock of $1,533,400 and $1,245,100 for the
same dates as above; and Community Bankers' Bank Stock of $54,750 and $54,750
for the same dates as above.
The Corporation also holds investments in municipal bonds of $13,816,000
and $2,258,000 as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 respectively. These investments
represented approximately 3.41% and 0.63% of total assets at those dates.
Investment Activities
- ---------------------
Under Federal Reserve regulations, the Bank is required to maintain certain
liquidity ratios and does so by investing in certain obligations and other
securities that qualify as liquid assets under Federal Reserve regulations. See
"Regulation". As a state chartered bank, the Bank's investment authority is
limited by federal law which permits investment in, among other things, certain
certificates of deposit issued by commercial banks, banker's acceptances, loans
to commercial banks for Federal Funds, United States government and agency
obligations of state governments, and corporate bonds.
The Corporation's investment committee, which meets monthly, follows
Federal Reserve guidelines with respect to portfolio investment and accounting.
Such Federal Reserve guidelines state that insured institutions must account for
securities held for investment, sale and/or trading in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The Corporation maintains a written investment
policy to set forth investment portfolio composition and investment strategy.
The investment portfolio composition policy considers, among other factors, the
financial condition of the institution, the types of securities, amounts of
investments in those securities and safety and soundness considerations
pertaining to the institution. The investment strategy considers, among other
factors, interest rate risk, anticipated maturity of each type of investment and
the intent of the institution with respect to each investment.
Sources of Funds
----------------
General
- -------
Deposit accounts have traditionally been the principal source of the
Corporation's funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes.
In addition to deposits, the Corporation derives funds from loan repayments,
repayments from securities, FHLB advances and loan participation sales.
Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for seasonal or other
reductions in deposits or inflows at less than projected levels, as well as on a
long term basis to support expanded lending activities.
Deposit Activities
- ------------------
The Corporation, in its continuing effort to remain a competitive force in
its markets, offers a wide variety of deposit services, with varied maturities,
minimum-balance requirements and market-sensitive interest rates that are
attractive to all types of
7
depositors. The Corporation's deposit products include checking accounts,
statement savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, negotiable orders of
withdrawal accounts, individual retirement accounts and certificates of deposit
accounts. The Corporation is able to offer a broad array of products that are
consistent with current Federal Reserve regulations, and as a major result, the
Corporation's deposit portfolio is, for the most part, sensitive to general
market fluctuations.
The following table sets forth the various types of accounts offered by the
Corporation at December 31, 2000:

The variety of deposit accounts offered by the Corporation and the
competitive rates paid on these deposit accounts has increased the Corporation's
ability to retain deposits and has allowed it to be more competitive in
obtaining new funds, reducing the threat of disintermediation (the flow of funds
away from deposit institutions into direct investment vehicles such as
government and corporate securities). As customers have become more rate
conscious and willing to move funds to higher yielding accounts, the ability of
the Corporation to attract and maintain deposits and the Corporation's cost of
funds have been, and will continue to be, significantly affected by money market
conditions.
The following table sets forth information relating to the Corporation's
deposit flows during the years indicated.

Borrowings
- ----------
The Corporation may obtain advances from the FHLB upon the security of the
capital stock it owns in the bank and certain of its home mortgage loans
provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. Such
advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs. Each credit
program has its own interest rate and range of maturities and the FHLB
prescribes the acceptable uses to which the advances pursuant to each program
may be used, as well as limitations on the size of such advances. Depending on
the program, such limitations are based either on a fixed percentage of the
Corporation's net worth or on the FHLB's assessment of the Corporation's
creditworthiness. The FHLB is required to review its credit limitations and
standards at least once every six months. FHLB advances have from time to time,
been available to meet seasonal and other withdrawals of savings accounts and to
expand lending.
The Bank also has established credit arrangements with several of its
correspondent banks. At December 31, 2000 the Bank had approximately $83,356,000
of unused lines of credit, including FHLB unused lines of credit, to fund any
necessary cash requirements.
The following table sets forth certain information as to the Corporation's
advances and other borrowings at the dates indicated. See Notes 8, 9 and 14 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements, included as part of the Annual Report to
Stockholders, for information as to rates, maturities, average balances and
maximum amounts outstanding.

Employees
---------
The Corporation at December 31, 2000, had 178 full time employees. None of
these employees are represented by a collective agent, and the Corporation
believes its employee relations are excellent.
Competition
-----------
The Corporation encounters competition for both deposits and loans. For
deposits, competition comes from other commercial banks, savings and loan
associations and/or savings banks, mutual money market funds, credit unions and
various other corporate and financial institutions. Competition also comes from
interest paying obligations issued by various levels of government and from a
variety of securities paying dividends or interest. Competition for loans comes
primarily from other commercial banks, savings and loan associations and/or
savings banks, insurance companies, mortgage companies and other lending
institutions.
9
Subsidiaries
------------
The Corporation was incorporated in Virginia in 1995 to serve as the
holding company for the Bank. The Bank is a state chartered bank with principal
offices in Abingdon, Virginia. The Bank was incorporated in 1985 under the laws
of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Corporation formed a statutory business
trust, Highlands Capital Trust I, in January of 1998 to issue trust preferred
securities in order to raise additional capital.
The Bank formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Highlands Union Insurance
Services, Inc., on October 8, 1999 for the purpose of selling insurance services
through Bankers' Insurance, LLC. The subsidiary should become fully operational
during 2001.
Federal Home Loan Bank System
-----------------------------
The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists
of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank System is
regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Board ("FHFB"). The FHFB is composed of
five members, including the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and four
private citizens appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the
Senate for terms of seven years. At least one director must be chosen from
organizations with more than a two-year history of representing consumer or
community interests on banking services, credit needs, housing or financial
consumer protections.
The Bank, as a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, is required to purchase and
maintain stock in its bank in an amount as if 30 percent of the member's assets
were home mortgage loans.
The FHFB is required to adopt regulations establishing standards of
community investment or service for members of the Federal Home Loan Banks as a
condition for continued access to advances. The regulations are to take into
account the record of performance of the institution under the Community
Reinvestment Act of 1977 and its record of lending to first time home buyers.
In addition, new collateral requirements for advances are to be established
which will be designed to insure credit quality and marketability of the
collateral.
Regulation
----------
General
- -------
The Corporation and its subsidiary are subject to the supervision,
regulation and examination of the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation and the state regulators of the Commonwealth of Virginia
which has jurisdiction over financial institutions and has obtained regulatory
approval for its various activities to the extent required.
Federal and State Laws and Regulations
- --------------------------------------
Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under federal
and state law. To the extent that the following information describes statutory
and regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to such
statutes and regulations. Any
10
change in applicable law or regulation may have a material effect on the
business of the Corporation and its subsidiary.
Bank Holding Company Regulation
- -------------------------------
The Corporation is registered as a "bank holding company" with the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve"), and is subject to
supervision by the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Corporation Act ("BHC
Act"). The Corporation is required to file with the Federal Reserve periodic
reports and such additional information as the Federal Reserve may require
pursuant to the BHC Act. The Federal Reserve examines the Corporation and the
subsidiary bank.
The BHC Act requires prior Federal Reserve approval for, among other
things, the acquisition by a bank holding company of direct or indirect
ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares or substantially all
of the assets of any bank, or for a merger or consolidation of a bank holding
company with another bank holding company. With certain exceptions, the BHC Act
prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or
control of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding
company and from engaging directly or indirectly in any activity other than
banking or managing or controlling banks or performing services for it's
authorized subsidiaries. A bank holding company may, however, engage in or
acquire an interest in a company that engages in activities which the Federal
Reserve has determined by regulation or order to be so closely related to
banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.
Bank Regulation
- ---------------
The Bank, as a state chartered member of the Federal Reserve Systems, is
subject to regulation and examination by the Virginia State Corporation
Commission and the Federal Reserve Board. In addition, the Bank is subject to
the rules and regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which
currently insures the deposits of each member bank to a maximum of $100,000 per
depositor.
The commercial banking business is affected by the monetary policies
adopted by the Federal Reserve Board. Changes in the discount rate on member
bank borrowings, availability of borrowing at the "discount window", open market
operations, the imposition of any changes in reserve requirements against member
banks' deposits and certain borrowings by banks and their affiliates, and the
limitation of interest rates which member banks may pay on deposits are some of
the instruments of monetary policy available to the Federal Reserve Board. Taken
together, these controls give the Board a significant influence over the growth
and profitability of all banks. Management of the Bank is unable to predict how
the Board's monetary policies (or the fiscal policies or economic controls
imposed by Federal or state governments) will affect the business and earnings
of the Bank or the Corporation, or what those policies or controls will be.
The references in this section to various aspects of supervision and
regulation are brief summaries which do not purport to be complete and which are
qualified in their entirety by reference to applicable laws, rules and
regulations.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
- -----------------------------------------------------
The difficulties encountered nationwide by financial institutions during
1990 and 1991 prompted federal legislation designed to reform the banking
industry and to promote the viability of the industry and of the deposit
insurance system. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of
1991 ("FDICIA"), which became effective on December 19, 1991, bolsters the
deposit insurance fund, tightens bank and thrift regulation and trims the scope
of federal deposit insurance as summarized below.
FDICIA requires each federal banking regulatory agency to prescribe, by
regulation, standards for all insured depository institutions and depository
institution holding companies relating to (i) internal controls, information
systems and audit systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii) credit underwriting;
(iv) interest rate exposure; (v) asset growth; (vi) compensation, fees and
benefits; and (vii) such other operational and managerial standards as the
agency determines to be appropriate. The compensation standards would prohibit
employment contracts, compensation or benefit arrangements, stock option plans,
fee arrangements or other compensatory arrangements that provide excessive
compensation, fees or benefits or could lead to material financial loss. In
addition, each federal banking regulatory agency must prescribe by regulation
standards specifying (i) a maximum ratio of classified assets to capital; (ii)
minimum earnings sufficient to absorb losses without impairing capital; (iii) to
the extent feasible, a minimum ratio of market value to book value for publicly
traded shares of depository institutions and depository institution holding
companies; and (iv) such other standards relating to asset quality, earnings and
valuation as the agency determines to be appropriate. If an insured institution
fails to meet any of the standards promulgated by regulation, then such
institution will be required to submit a plan to its federal regulatory agency
specifying the steps it will take to correct the deficiency.
Prompt corrective action measures adopted in FDICIA and which became
effective on December 19, 1992, impose significant new restrictions and
requirements on depository institutions that fail to meet their minimum capital
requirements. Under new Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDI
Act"), the federal banking regulatory agencies have developed a classification
system pursuant to which all depository institutions are placed into one of five
categories based on their capital levels and other supervisory criteria: well
capitalized, adequately capitalized; undercapitalized; significantly
undercapitalized; and critically undercapitalized.
The Bank met the requirements at December 31, 2000 to be classified as
"well capitalized". This classification is determined solely for the purposes
of applying the prompt corrective action regulations and may not constitute an
accurate representation of the Corporation's overall financial condition.
An undercapitalized depository institution is required to submit a capital
restoration plan to its principal federal regulator. The federal banking
agencies may not accept a capital plan without determining, among other things,
that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in
restoring the depository institution's capital and is guaranteed by the parent
holding company. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan,
it will be treated as if it were significantly undercapitalized.
Unless its principal federal regulator has accepted its capital plan, an
undercapitalized bank may not increase its average total assets in any calendar
quarter. If an undercapitalized institution's capital plan has been accepted,
asset growth will be
12
permissible only if the growth is consistent with the plan and the institution's
ratio of tangible equity to assets increases during the quarter at a rate
sufficient to enable the institutions to become adequately capitalized within a
reasonable time.
An institution that is undercapitalized may not solicit deposits by
offering rates of interest that are significantly higher than the prevailing
rates on insured deposits in the institution's normal market areas or in the
market area in which the deposits would otherwise be accepted.
An undercapitalized may not branch, acquire an interest in another business
or institution or enter a new line of business unless its capital plan has been
accepted and its principal federal regulator approves the proposed action.
An insured depository institution may not pay management fees to any person
having control of the institution nor may an institution, except under certain
circumstances and with prior regulatory approval, make any capital distribution
if, after making such payment or distribution, the institution would be
undercapitalized.
Significantly undercapitalized depository institutions may be subject to a
number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient
voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total
assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks.
Critically undercapitalized institutions are subject to appointment of a
receiver or conservator.
If its principal federal regulator determines that an adequately
capitalized institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or is engaging in
an unsafe or unsound practice, it may require the institution to submit a
corrective action plan, restrict its asset growth and prohibit branching, new
acquisitions and new lines of business. An institution's principal federal
regulator may deem it to be engaging in an unsafe or unsound practices if it
receives a less than satisfactory rating for asset quality, management, earnings
or liquidity in its most recent examination.
In addition, regulators were required to draft a new set of non-capital
measures of bank safety, such as loan underwriting standards and minimum
earnings levels, effective December 1, 1993. The legislation also requires
regulators to perform annual on-site bank examinations, place limits on real
estate lending by banks and tightens auditing requirements.
Federal And State Taxation
--------------------------
General
- -------
The following discussion of federal taxation is a summary of certain
pertinent federal income tax matters as they pertain to the Corporation. With
some exceptions, including particularly the reserve for bad debts discussed
below, the Corporation is subject to federal income tax under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") in the same general manner as other
corporations.
Bad Debt Reserves
- -----------------
Commercial banks such as the Bank, which meet certain definitional tests
primarily relating to their assets and the nature of their businesses, are
permitted to
13
establish a reserve for bad debts and to make annual additions to the reserve.
These additions, may within specified formula limits, be deducted in arriving at
the Bank's taxable income. For purposes of computing the deductible addition to
its bad debt reserve, the Bank utilizes the experience method.
Under the experience method, the deductible annual addition is the amount
necessary to increase the balance of the reserve at the close of the taxable
year to the greater of (1) the amount which bears the same ratio to loans
outstanding at the close of the taxable year as the total net bad debts
sustained during the current and five preceding taxable years to bear to the sum
of the loans outstanding at the close of those six years or (2) the lower of (a)
the balance in the reserve account at the close of the last taxable year prior
to the most recent adoption of the experience method (the base year is the last
taxable year beginning before 1988), or (b) if the amount of loans outstanding
at the close of the taxable year is less than the amount of loans outstanding at
the close of the base year, the amount which bears the same ratio to loans
outstanding at the close of the taxable year as the balance of the reserve at
the close of the base year bears to the amount of loans outstanding at the close
of the base year.
Minimum Tax
- -----------
A 20% corporate alternative minimum tax generally will apply to a base of
regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences ("alternative minimum
taxable income" or "AMTI") and will be payable to the extent such AMTI is in
excess of an exemption amount. The Code provides that an item of tax preference
is the excess of the bad debt deduction over the amount allowable under the
experience method. The other items of tax preference that constitute AMTI
include (a) tax-exempt interest on newly-issued (generally, issued on or after
August 8, 1986) private activity bonds other than certain qualified bonds and
(b) 75% of the excess (if any) of (i) 75% of adjusted current earnings as
defined in the Code, over (ii) AMTI (determined without regard to this
preference and prior to reduction by net operating losses).
Other
- -----
For federal income tax purposes, the Corporation reports its income and
expenses on the accrual basis method of accounting and uses a year ending
December 31 for filing its income tax returns. The Corporation may carry back
net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the
succeeding twenty taxable years.
The Commonwealth of Virginia imposes an income tax on corporations
domiciled in the state. The Virginia taxable income is based on the federal
taxable income with certain adjustments for interest and dividend income on
obligations of securities of the United States and states other than Virginia.
The tax rate is 6% of taxable income of the Corporation, exclusive of the Bank.
See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included as part of
the Annual Report to Stockholders, for additional information regarding the
income taxes of the Company.

(1) Tax equivalent adjustments (using 34% federal tax rates) have been made in
calculating yields on tax-free loans and investments. Virginia banks are
exempt from state income tax.
(2) For the purposes of these computations, non-accruing loans are included in
the daily average loan amounts outstanding.
(3) The yield on securities classified as available for sale is computed based
on the average balance of the historical amortized cost balance without the
effects of the fair value adjustment required by FAS115
As the largest component of income, net interest income represents the
amount that interest and fees earned on loans and investments exceeds the
interest costs of funds used to support these earning assets. Net interest
income is determined by the relative levels, rates and mix of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. The following table attributes changes in net
interest income either to changes in average volume or to changes in interest
rates. Dollar changes have been allocated to volume and rate changes in
proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in
each.

Non-performing loans
- --------------------
The loan portfolio of the Bank is reviewed regularly by senior officers to
evaluate loan performance. The frequency of the review is based on a rating of
credit worthiness of the borrower utilizing various factors such as net worth,
credit history, customer relationship, etc. The evaluations emphasize different
factors depending upon the type of loan involved. The commercial and real estate
type loans are reviewed on the basis of estimated net realizable value through
an evaluation of collateral and the financial strength of the borrower.
Installment loans are evaluated largely on the basis of delinquency data because
of the large number of such loans and relatively small size of each individual
loan.
Management review of commercial and other loans may result in a
determination that a loan should be placed on a non-accrual of interest basis.
It is the policy of the Bank to discontinue the accrual of interest on any loan
on which full collectability of principal and / or interest is doubtful.
Subsequent collection of interest is recognized as income on a cash basis upon
receipt. Placing a loan on non-accrual status for the purpose of income
17
recognition is not in itself a reliable indication of potential loss of
principal. Other factors, such as the value of the collateral securing the loan
and the financial condition of the borrower, serve as more reliable indications
of potential loss of principal.
The policy of the Bank is that non-performing loans consist of loans
accounted for on a non-accrual basis and loans which are contractually past due
90 days or more in regards to interest and/ or principal payments. As of the
three periods ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, non-accrual loans amounted
to $929,000, $1,152,000 and $1,396,000, respectively. Interest income lost on
non-accruing loans was approximately $121,000, $136,000, and $146,000 for
December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 respectively.
Summary of Loan Loss Experience
- -------------------------------
The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses
and reduced by loans charged off net of recoveries. The allowance for loan
losses is established and maintained at a level judged by management to be
adequate to cover any anticipated loan losses to be incurred in the collection
of outstanding loans. In determining the adequate level of the allowance for
loan losses, management considers the following factors: (a) loan loss
experience; (b) problem loans, including loans judged to exhibit potential
charge-off characteristics, loans on which interest is no longer being accrued,
loans which are past due and loans which have been classified in the most recent
regulatory examination; and (c) anticipated economic conditions and the
potential impact these conditions may have on individual classifications of
borrowers.

- ------------------
The Corporation's and the Bank's main offices are located at 340 W. Main
Street, Abingdon, Virginia. The main office is a two story brick structure owned
by the Bank. The Bank utilizes the entire structure for its day to day
operations. Attached to the main office is a four lane drive thru facility
constructed in 1998. The new drive thru replaced an older unit which was
detached from the main office's structure. The main office opened for operations
in 1985. In addition, the Bank has three other branch locations within
Washington County, Virginia. The East Abingdon branch is a one story brick
facility located at 24412 Maringo Road which operates as a full service branch.
The branch was completed and opened for operation in 1993. The West Abingdon
location operates as an "express facility." This location contains four drive
thru lanes and a walk-up window. This is a limited service facility. The West
Abingdon Express branch was completed and opened for operations in 1994 and is
located at Exit 14, I-81, Jonesboro Road, Abingdon, Virginia. During 1998, the
Bank constructed and placed in service a two-story brick building located at 506
Maple Avenue, Glade Spring, Virginia. The Glade Spring Office is a full service
location with four drive thru lanes. The Bank also has two full service branch
locations within the City of Bristol, Virginia. The East Bristol office is
located at 999 Old Airport Road, Bristol, Virginia. This is a two story brick
building with interior customer loan and deposit areas as well as a four lane
drive thru unit. The office was completed and opened for operations in 1988. The
Commonwealth office is located at 821 Commonwealth Avenue, Bristol, Virginia.
This is a two story block building with full service customer service areas and
a four lane drive thru facility. The Bank also operates its dealer finance

Main Street , Marion, Virginia. The branch was placed in service in December of
1997. It is a two story brick building and operates as a full service branch.
The Marion office has two drive thru lanes. There is also an ATM located
approximately 1/2 mile from the branch on North Main Street. The ATM resides on
property purchased by the Bank in 1997. All of the Bank's branch locations
except Marion have an on premises ATM. All branch properties are owned by the
Bank and are free of liens. In September 1998, the Bank acquired the adjacent
building to its Commonwealth office to facilitate future expansion. This is a
one story brick structure, located at 801-805 Commonwealth Avenue, Bristol,
Virginia and is currently leased. A note payable to the sellers was executed and
is secured by a first deed
21
of trust. The balance on the note as of December 31, 2000 was approximately
$73,000. Also during 1998, the Bank initiated an off premises ATM program. This
program has continued to expand to include 23 offsite ATMs purchased and
installed throughout the Bank's market areas. Three machines were placed in
Bristol, Virginia; nine were installed in Washington County, Virginia; two in
Russell County, Virginia; five in Smyth County, Virginia, one in Wythe County,
Virginia and one in Hawkins County, Tennessee. All machines are free of liens.
During 1999 the Bank purchased a building, across from the Main Office in
Abingdon, to provide for expansion of the Bank's operations. The building is a
brick and frame structure that is being used to house the Bank's Financial
Services Department, the Collections Department, the Bank's credit card, check
card and ATM card operations department as well as the Bank's Check Printing
Department. The office space not currently being used by the Bank is being
leased to other businesses. This property is free of any liens. On September 23,
2000, the Bank closed on the purchase of a branch office of a bank in
Rogersville, Tennessee. This purchase included all deposit accounts,
approximately $3.9 million, overdraft protection accounts, approximately $54
thousand, specified furniture and equipment, approximately $7 thousand, and the
building and real estate, approximately $639 thousand. The branch office is a
one-story masonry and concrete structure constructed in 1985. The branch is
located at 410 Highway 66 South in Rogersville, Tennessee. This building is
being used as a Highlands Union Bank full service facility with three drive-thru
lanes and a drive-up ATM. The Bank has also purchased a tract of land located at
1250 Volunteer Parkway in Bristol, Tennessee for future expansion. The land is
approximately 1.08 +/-Acres and is currently zoned B-3. This property is free of
any liens. The Bank also purchased a tract of land located off of Highway 11W in
Bristol, Tennessee, known as Bristol West Development, for future expansion. The
land is approximately 1/2 acre and is currently zoned B-3. This property is free
of any liens. The Bank also purchased a lot in Boone, North Carolina for a
branch site. This 1.293 acre tract is located on Highway 105 in the Town of
Boone. During 2000 the Bank began construction of a two-story brick building
that will open as a full service branch of the Bank in January of 2001. The
Seller of this property originally financed $250,000 of the purchase price of
the land. The balance of this note as of December 31, 2000 was approximately
$237 thousand
The Corporation acquired a commercial building during 1997 which is located
at 266 West Plumb Alley, Abingdon, Virginia. The building is a two story
concrete structure which was originally constructed by another bank for use as
an operations center. The Corporation assumed the lease of the building's
current tenants. The second floor of the structure is leased to third parties.
During 1997, the Corporation entered into a leasing arrangement with its
subsidiary to lease the first floor to be used for its operations center.
Currently, the bookkeeping, proof, accounting, shareholder services, human
resources, internal audit and training departments are located there. The West
Plumb Alley property is free of liens. Also during 1998, the Corporation
purchased the adjacent property to the operations center. The property purchased
is a one story brick structure which is currently leased. It is management's
intention to utilize the property as growth continues. The property is owned
free and clear of all liens.

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no established trading market for the stock of Highlands
Bankshares, Inc.. At December 31, 2000 the Corporation has approximately 1,130
stockholders of record. The Corporation acts as its own registered Stock
Transfer Agent, without charging a transfer fee, ensuring that all applicable
federal guidelines relating to stock transfers are enforced. The Corporation
maintains a list of individuals who are interested in purchasing its common
stock and connects these people with stockholders' who are interested in selling
their stock. These parties negotiate the per share price independent of the
Corporation. The stock transfer agent of the Corporation attempts to keep a
record of what the stock sales are trading at by asking the parties about the
trade price per share. Please refer to the table below entitled Common Stock
Performance for a breakdown of the trades for the four quarters of 2000. It is
the opinion of management that this range accurately reflects the market value
of the Corporations common stock at the present time.

Dear Shareholders:
The Year 2000 was not only the beginning of a new century, it was also a year of
unusual significance and importance for Highlands Bankshares, Inc., and its
subsidiary company, Highlands Union Bank. 2000 was a year of record earnings,
extended boundaries, new services, and continued growth and expansion for your
company.
Results of operation for 2000 reflect an increase in assets of $46,865,000, or
13.08 percent; gross loans increased by $30,217,000, or 11.55 percent; and
deposits increased by $40,122,000, or 13.10 percent. It was another record year
for earnings. Net income was $2,979,000 or an increase of 39.79 percent.
Return on equity was 13.69 percent compared to 11.13 percent in 1999, or an
increase of 23 percent. Return on assets was .78 percent compared to .64
percent in 1999, or an increase of 21.88 percent. Earnings per share were $1.13
compared to $0.85 in 1999, or an increase of 32.9 percent. Shareholders' equity
(book value) per share outstanding at year end was $9.17 compared to $7.77 at
year end 1999, or an increase of 18.03 percent.
As you can see, the growth experienced by your company in previous years
continued markedly in 2000. Additionally, we are pleased to report that
Highlands Union's market share continued to increase in each of the communities
we serve.
Stretching the Boundaries
One of the highlights of the year was Highlands Union's breaking of geographic
barriers - into two new states, Tennessee and North Carolina. In June, we
announced that the bank had entered into an agreement to purchase the
Rogersville, Tenn., branch of First Vantage Bank. This purchase was completed
September 23, 2000. The new location is now successfully operating as Highlands
Union Bank. Under Tennessee law, this acquisition gives Highlands Union Bank
the ability to expand into other Tennessee markets.
In addition to the expansion into Tennessee, Highlands Union Bank received
approval on its application to open a branch bank in Boone, N.C. The
construction of this branch bank was completed in December 2000 and the bank is
now successfully operating as Highland Union Bank.
We are extremely proud of these new locations and the professional staffs
operating them.
These new offices and new venues provide exciting opportunities for growth. Not
only does the past year's expansion gives us two new communities to serve, it
give us two new states to serve, as well. Barriers have been crossed. Your
company is now operating in three states: Virginia, Tennessee, and North
Carolina.
Insuring Customer Needs
Not only has Highlands Union crossed geographic barriers in 2000, but it has
crossed business boundaries, as well. Recent law changes make it possible for
banks to sell insurance products. In 2000, Highlands Union Bank joined a
consortium of over 60 Virginia Banks for the purpose of acquiring and operating
insurance agencies.
In the future, this will allow your bank to market and sell insurance products,
such as homeowners, automobile, commercial, and life insurance. This new
product line should provide additional avenues for enhancing your company's
earnings.
Although these new ventures are very exciting, we continue to focus on serving
our customers, both existing and new, in the manner that they deserve and have
come to expect at Highlands Union Bank. We continue to focus on providing
friendly personal service, convenient hours, state-of-the-art technology,
expanded ATM networks, full financial services and much more.
Looking and Moving Forward
We look forward to the many new opportunities now available to your company as
the result of initiatives begun in 2000 - a solid market share in the existing
markets, new markets to serve and new products and services to offer. In the
coming year, we will continue to seek new ways to enhance earnings for our
shareholders.
It has been a particularly eventful year for Highlands Union and Highlands
Bankshares. It has been an exciting year to be leading the company to greater
heights and into new "states of growth."
On behalf of the Directors, Officers and Employees of Highlands Bankshares, Inc,
and Highlands Union Bank, we thank our customers, shareholders and friends for
your continued confidence and support as we grow and move forward.
Sincerely,
_________________________________ ______________________________________

CONDITION AT DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
Total assets at December 31, 2000 totaled $405.2 million compared to $358.3
million at December 31, 1999. This 13.08% growth in assets was primarily due to
the large volume of loans originated. Total loans increased 11.55% or $30.2

to $82.6 million during 2000 as contrasted to the 1999 period. Total deposits

valuation account and any unrealized (paper) gains or losses be run through the
Stockholders' Equity section of the balance sheet. The effect of SAS 115 caused
a decrease in Stockholders' Equity at December 31, 1999 of $619 thousand, net of
the related deferred tax. As of December 31, 2000, the Corporation's security
portfolio had $162 thousand in unrealized gains, net of deferred taxes. The
Corporation notes that it does have the ability and intent to carry to maturity
the existing $82.6 million of "available for sale" securities.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
Total assets at December 31, 1999 totaled $358.3 million compared to $307.8
million at December 31, 1998. This 16.44% growth in assets was primarily due to
the large volume of loans originated. Total loans increased 12.13% or $28.3
million over the comparable 1998 period. The security portfolio increased 37.86%
to $70.8 million during 1999 as contrasted to the 1998 period. Total deposits
increased to $306.2 million or 12.43% from 1998's level of $272.3 million.
Stockholders' Equity increased 11.65% during 1999. The Financial Accounting
Standards Board's (FASB) Statement on Accounting Standards No. 115 was
implemented during 1994. FASB's SAS 115 required that all securities classified
as "Available for Sale" be adjusted to market value through the use of a
valuation account and any unrealized (paper) gains or losses be run through the

portfolio had $619 thousand in unrealized losses, net of deferred taxes. The

the existing $70.8 million of "available for sale" securities.
COMPARISON OF SIGNIFICANT RATIOS AT
DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
Return on average assets increased to .78% for the year-ended December 31, 2000
as compared to .64% for the comparable 1999 period. The continued growth in
assets, the absorption of the operational costs from the new branch openings,
the costs and interest expense related to the trust preferred securities, and
the addition of over 1.2 million to the allowance for loan loss account all had
a significant impact to this performance ratio. Non Interest Income for the year
2000 increased by approximately 1.13 million over the prior year. Return on
average equity increased from 11.13% at December 31, 1999 to 13.69% at year-end
1999. Average Stockholders' Equity to average assets remained at 5.71% at
December 31, 2000. Non-performing loans to total loans decreased to .51% as of
December 31, 2000 as compared to .63% for the comparable 1999 period. Allowance
for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased 6.32% to 1.01% at
December 31, 2000.
COMPARISON OF SIGNIFICANT RATIOS AT DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
Return on average assets increased to .64% for the year-ended December 31, 1999
as compared to .61% for the comparable 1998 period. The continued growth in
assets, the absorption of the operational costs from the new branch openings,
the costs and interest expense related to the trust preferred securities, and
the addition of over 1.4 million to the allowance for loan loss account all had
a significant impact to this performance ratio. Return on average equity
increased from 10.06% at December 31, 1998 to 11.13% at year-end 1999. Average
Stockholders' Equity to average assets declined to 5.71% at December 31, 1999
from 6.02% at December 31, 1998. Non-performing loans to total loans decreased
to .63% as of December 31, 1999 as compared to .87% for the comparable 1998
period. Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased
10.47% to .95% at December 31, 1999. The decrease in average Stockholders'
Equity to average assets is primarily attributable to the enormous amount of
growth which the Corporation sustained during 1999.
COMPARISON OF PER SHARE DATA FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
Net income per share, on a weighted average basis, increased 32.94% to $1.13 at

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
---------------------------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Highlands Bankshares, Inc., (the "Parent Company") and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Highlands Union Bank (the "Bank") and
Highlands Capital Trust I (the "Trust"). The statements also include
Highlands Union Insurance Services, Inc., (the "Insurance Services"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The
accounting and reporting policies of Highlands Bankshares, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (the "Company") conform to generally accepted accounting
principals and to predominate practices within the banking industry.
Nature of Operations
--------------------
The Company operates in Abingdon, Virginia, and surrounding Southwest
Virginia and Eastern Tennessee, under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia. The Company was organized December 29, 1995. Highlands Union
Bank, its wholly-owned subsidiary, began banking operations on April
27, 1985. The Bank operates under a state bank charter and provides a
full line of financial services to individuals and businesses. Their
primary lending products include mortgage, consumer and commercial
loans, and their primary deposit products are checking, savings, and
certificates of deposit. Additionally, they broker various investment
vehicles through their financial services department. As a state bank
and a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, the Bank is
subject to regulation by the Virginia State Bureau of Financial
Institutions, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the
Federal Reserve Bank. Highlands Capital Trust I, a wholly-owned
subsidiary became effective on January 14, 1998. The nature of the
trust is described more fully in Note 9. Highlands Union Insurance
Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank became effective
October 8, 1999. The entity will be used to sell insurance through
Bankers Insurance LLC.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and
cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks and federal
funds sold, all of which mature within ninety days.
Securities Available for Sale
-----------------------------
Securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities
that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but
not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security
classified as available for sale would be based on various factors,
including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the
maturity mix of the Company's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs,
regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized
gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases in
stockholders' equity, net of the related deferred tax effect. Realized
gains or losses are recorded on the trade date and are determined on
the basis of the amortized cost of specific securities sold. Realized
gains or losses are included in earnings. Premiums and discounts are
recognized in interest income using the interest method over the
period to maturity.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Loans
-----
The Company grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to
customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented
by mortgage loans throughout Southwest Virginia. The ability of the
Company's debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real
estate and general economic conditions in this area.
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported
at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for
charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or
costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid
balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination
costs, are deferred and amortized to income over the estimated lives
of the loans using the straight-line method. The aforementioned method
is not materially different from the interest method.
The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan
is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process
of collection. Credit card loans and other personal loans are
typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. In all cases,
loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if
collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on
nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The
interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or
cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans
are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest
amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are
reasonably assured.
Allowance for Loan Losses
-------------------------
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated
to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to
earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when
management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is
confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the
allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by
management and is based upon management's periodic review of the
collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the
nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may
affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any
underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This
evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes
available.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and
events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the
scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by
management in determining impairment include payment status,
collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled
principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience
insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not
classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of
payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking
into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and
the borrower, including the length

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
-------------------------
of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment
record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal
and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by
either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market
price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent. Interest income is recognized on impaired loans.
Premises and Equipment
----------------------
Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost
less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Maintenance and
repairs are charged to current operations while improvements are
capitalized. Disposition gains and losses are reflected in current
operations.
Intangible Assets
-----------------
Capital issue costs relating to the junior subordinated debt
securities are stated at cost less accumulated amortization.
Amortization is computed on the straight-line method over the life of
the securities - 30 years.
In 2000 the Company purchased a branch of First Vantage Bank in
Rogersville, Tennessee and paid an applicable deposit premium. The
premium was recorded as Goodwill and is stated at cost less
accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed on the
straight-line method over 15 years.
Income Taxes
------------
Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are
recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by
applying enacted statutory tax rates to the differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing
assets and liabilities. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred
taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date.
Earnings Per Common Share
-------------------------
Earnings per common share are calculated based on the weighted average
outstanding shares during the year. Earnings per common share assuming
dilution are calculated based on the weighted average outstanding
shares during the year plus common stock equivalents at year end.
Use of Estimates
----------------
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates
that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near
term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, and
the valuation of foreclosed real estate, deferred tax assets and
trading activities.

Business Segments
-----------------
The Company reports its activities as a single business segment. In
determining the appropriateness of segment definition, the Company
considers components of the business about which financial information
is available and regularly evaluated relative to resource allocation
and performance assessment.
Reclassification of Financial Statement Presentation
----------------------------------------------------
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1999 and 1998
financial statements to conform with the 2000 financial statement
presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income as
previously reported.

Note 9. Capital Securities
On January 21, 1998, Highlands Capital Trust I, issued $7,500 of 9.25%
Capital Securities which will mature on January 15, 2028. The principal
asset of the Trust is $7,500 of the Parent Company's junior subordinated
debt securities with like maturities and like interest rates to the
Capital Securities. Additionally, the Trust has issued 9,000 shares of
common securities to the Parent Company. The 9.25% Capital Securities
had $7,500 outstanding at December 31, 2000, and an estimated fair value
of $7,240. The related junior subordinated debt securities had an
estimated fair value of $7,240.
The Capital Securities, the assets of the Trust and the common
securities issued by the Trust are redeemable in whole or in part on or
after January 15, 2008, or at any time in whole but not in part from the
date of issuance on the occurrence of certain events.
The Capital Securities may be included in Tier I capital for regulatory
capital adequacy determination purposes up to 25% of Tier I capital
after its inclusion. The portion of the Capital Securities not
considered as Tier I capital may be included in Tier II capital.
Distributions to the holders of the Capital Securities are included in
interest expense.
The obligations of the Parent Company with respect to the issuance of
the Capital Securities constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by
the Parent Company of the Trust's obligations with respect to the
Capital Securities.
Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Parent Company may
elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the junior
subordinated debt securities, which would result in a deferral of
distribution payments on the related Capital Securities.

On April 22, 1999, the Board authorized a 2 for 1 stock split to be
distributed to all shareholders of record as of April 1, 1999. As a
result, authorized shares increased from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000 and
par value decreased from $2.50 to $1.25 per share. Shares issued and
outstanding at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were 2,632, 2,521 and
2,472, respectively. All references in the financial statements to
number of shares, per share amounts and market prices of the Company's
common stock have been retroactively restated to reflect the increased
number of common shares outstanding.
Earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average
outstanding shares as of December 31. Outstanding stock options (Note

Note 12. Profit Sharing and Retirement Savings Plan
The Bank has a 401(K) savings plan available to substantially all
employees meeting minimum eligibility requirements. The Bank makes a 2%
profit sharing contribution to all employees exclusive of employee
contributions and employer matching. Employees may elect to make
voluntary contributions to the plan up to 15% of their base pay. In
addition to the 2% profit sharing contribution, the Bank matches 50% of
the employee's initial 6% contribution; therefore, the maximum employer
matching contribution per employee could be 3% of base pay. The cost of
Bank contributions under the savings plan was $150, $137 and $115, in
2000, 1999 and 1998 respectively.
Note 13. Stock Option Plan
In 1996, Highlands Bankshares, Inc., adopted a non-qualified stock
incentive option plan, for key employees, officers, and directors and
reserved 150,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder. The
plan is identical to and replaced the plan previously adopted by
Highlands Union Bank.
The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the
Company's stock on the date of grant and an option's maximum term is
ten years. Option exercise prices are determined by the Board of
Directors based on recent open market sales, but shall not be less than
the greater of the par value of such stock or 100% of the book value of
such stock as shown by the Company's last published statement prior to
granting of the option. Proceeds received upon exercise of options are
credited to common stock, to the extent of par value of the related
shares, and the balance is credited to surplus. Shares under options
which are canceled are available for subsequent grant.
The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in
accounting for the stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost
has been recognized. Had compensation cost for the Corporation's stock
option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates
for awards under the plan consistent with the method prescribed by FASB
Statement No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share
would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
The Bank is party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk arising in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs
of their customers. Those financial instruments include commitments to
extend credit and standby letters of credit of approximately $1,901,
$1,088, and $859, unfunded commitments under lines of credit of $23,689,
$19,067 and $16,655 and commitments to grant loans of $2,632, $458, and
$1,325 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
These instruments contain various elements of credit and interest rate risk
in excess of the amount recognized in the statements of financial
condition.
The Banks exposure to credit loss, in the event of non-performance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit
and standby letters of credit, is the contractual amount of those
instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments
and conditional obligations that they do for on-balance sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines
of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the
Company, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer.
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit, revolving credit lines and
overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future
extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are
uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and
may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is
committed.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company
to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters
of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration
dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of
credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan
facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting
those commitments if deemed necessary.
The Bank has made arrangements with and has available from other
corresponding banks, approximately $83,356 of unused lines of credit to
fund any necessary cash requirements. The Bank has $23,357 of Federal Home
Loan Bank advances outstanding as of December 31, 2000. A specific class of
mortgage loans with a balance of $99,064 at December 31, 2000 were pledged
to the FHLB as collateral.

Note 15. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would
be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation.
Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in
many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various
financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other
valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the
assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an
immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS 107 excludes certain financial
instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure
requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may
not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for cash, short-term
investments and federal funds sold approximates fair value.
Securities Available for Sale
-----------------------------
Fair value for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal
Reserve Bank stock, are based on quoted market prices. The carrying value
of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock approximates fair
value based on the redemption provisions of those Banks.
Loans
-----
The fair value of loans represent the amount at which the loans of the Bank
could be exchanged on the open market, based upon the current lending rate
for similar types of lending arrangements discounted over the remaining
life of the loans.
Deposits
--------
The fair value of deposits represent the amount at which the deposit
liabilities of the Bank could be exchanged on the open market, based upon
the incremental borrowing rate of the Bank for similar types of borrowing
arrangements.
Federal Funds Purchased and Other Short-Term Borrowings
-------------------------------------------------------
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under
repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within
ninety days approximate their fair values. Fair values of other short-term
borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the
Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of
borrowing arrangements.

Note 15. Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued)
Long-Term Debt and Capital Securities
-------------------------------------
Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and
remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.
Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments
-----------------------------
The amount of off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit, standby
letters of credit, and financial guarantees, is considered equal to fair
value. Because of the uncertainty involved in attempting to assess the
likelihood and timing of commitments being drawn upon, coupled with the
lack of an established market and the wide diversity of fee structures, the
Company does not believe it is meaningful to provide an estimate of fair
value that differs from the given value of the commitment.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments
at December 31 were as follows:

Note 17. Restrictions on Cash
The Bank is required to maintain reserve balances in cash with the Federal
Reserve Bank. The total of those reserve balances at December 31, 2000,
1999 and 1998 were $2,763, $2,109 and $1,239, respectively.
Note 18. Undivided Profits and Capital
Banking laws and regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid
without prior approval of the Bank's regulatory agency. Under that
limitation, the Company could have declared dividends of $5,064, $4,256 and
$2,939 in 2000, 1999 and 1998 respectively. The Company paid dividends of
$184, $150 and $123 or $.07 per share, $.06 per share and $.05 per share in
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by its primary regulator, the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond. Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional
discretionary actions by regulators, that if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on the Company and Bank and the consolidated
financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the
Bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures
of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and
classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not
applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of
total risk-based capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets (as
defined in the regulations), and Tier I capital to adjusted total assets
(as defined). Management believes, as of December 31,2000, 1999, and 1998,
that the Company and the Bank met all the capital adequacy requirements to
which they are subject.
Based on the Federal Reserve Bank's regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Company and Bank are considered to be well
capitalized for all required ratios. To remain categorized as well
capitalized, the Bank will have to maintain minimum total risk-based
capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets,
and Tier I capital to adjusted total assets ratios as disclosed in the
table below. There are no conditions or events since the most recent
notification that management believes have changed the Company's category.
