(5) Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share computations for the periods indicated:

(7) Stock Options

The Company has two incentive stock option plans. The 1997 Incentive Stock Plan (the “1997 Plan”), pursuant to which the Company’s Board of Directors may grant stock options to officers and key employees, became effective as of May 1, 1997. The 1997 Plan authorizes grants of options to purchase up to 50,000 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock. Accordingly, 50,000 shares of authorized but unissued common stock were reserved for use in the 1997 Plan. All stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the stock’s fair market value at the date of grant. The options expire ten years from the date of grant. At March 31, 2007, there were 3,200 shares available for grant under the 1997 Plan. A summary of stock option information follows ($ in thousands, except per share amounts):

The 2004 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan”), pursuant to which the Company’s Board of Directors may grant stock options to officers and key employees, was approved by shareholders on April 13, 2004 and became effective as of May 1, 2004. The 2004 Plan authorizes grants of options to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock. Accordingly, 100,000 shares of authorized but unissued common stock were reserved for use in the 2004 Plan. All stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the stock’s fair market value at the date of grant. The options expire ten years from the date of grant. At March 31, 2007, no options had been granted under the 2004 Plan and all 100,000 shares were available for grant under the 2004 Plan.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified prospective method and, accordingly, did not restate the consolidated statements of operations for periods prior to January 1, 2006. This pronouncement amended SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and superseded Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under SFAS No. 123(R), the Company measures compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense in the consolidated statements of income over the service period that the awards are expected to vest. The stock based compensation expensed during the quarter was $3 and is included in salaries and employee benefits.

THE COMPANY

Pinnacle Bankshares Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“Bankshares”), was organized in 1997 and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Bankshares is headquartered in Altavista, Virginia, and conducts all of its business activities through the branch offices of its wholly-owned subsidiary bank, The First National Bank of Altavista (the “Bank”). Bankshares exists primarily for the purpose of holding the stock of its subsidiary, the Bank, and of such other subsidiaries as it may acquire or establish.

The following discussion supplements and provides information about the major components of the results of operations and financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of Bankshares and its subsidiary (collectively the “Company”). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

OVERVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total assets at March 31, 2007 were $267,209 up 4.21% from $256,421 at December 31, 2006. The principal components of the Company’s assets at the end of the period were $217,454 in net loans and $24,183 in securities. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, net loans increased 4.62% or $9,593 from $207,861 at December 31, 2006. The Company’s lending activities are a principal source of its income. Also during the three-month period, securities decreased 2.75% or $683 from December 31, 2006.

 

12


Table of Contents

Total liabilities at March 31, 2007 were $242,219, up 4.44% from $231,929 at December 31, 2006, as a result of an increase in demand deposits of $2,718 or 11.50%, an increase in savings and NOW accounts of $4,103 or 5.88%, and an increase in time deposits of $3,492 or 2.54% from December 31, 2006. The Company’s deposits are provided by individuals and businesses located within the communities the Company serves.

Total stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2007 was $24,990 including $20,320 in retained earnings and $447 of accumulated other comprehensive losses net of the related deferred tax benefit, which represents net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities and the underfunded status of the Company’s defined benefit postretirement plan. At December 31, 2006, total stockholders’ equity was $24,492.

The Company had net income of $568 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared with net income of $576 for the comparable period in 2006, a decrease of 1.39%. This decrease in net income was primarily due to a $293 increase in noninterest expense.

Profitability as measured by the Company’s return on average assets (ROA) was 0.88% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, down from 0.98% for the same period of 2006. Another key indicator of performance, the return on average equity (ROE), for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was 9.18%, down from 9.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2007.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income represents the principal source of earnings for the Company. Changes in the amounts and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as their respective yields and rates, have a significant impact on the level of net interest income.

Net interest income was $2,413 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $2,166 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and is attributable to interest income from loans and securities exceeding the cost associated with interest paid on

Table of Contents

deposits. The net interest margin increased to 4.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, from 3.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Loan yield growth has exceeded the growth in the rate paid for deposits in the past year.

Interest income on loans and securities increased 21.38% in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006 as net loan volume increased by $30,982 since March 31, 2006 and yield on loans and securities increased by 62 basis points in the same time period. Interest and fees on loans was $3,947 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, up from $3,115 for the same period in 2006.

Total interest expense increased 36.69% in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006 due to the impact of the upward repricing of deposit liabilities and a $27,090 growth in deposits in the past twelve months.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income increased $46 or 8.20% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period of 2006. The Company’s principal sources of noninterest income are service charges and fees on deposit accounts, particularly transaction accounts, and fees on sales of mortgage loans. The increase from 2006 was due mainly to a $40,000 or 13.51% increase in service charges attributable to overdraft charges on deposit accounts.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense increased $293 or 16.07% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period of 2006. The increase in noninterest expense is attributed primarily to the effect of overall growth of the Company on personnel expenses and fixed asset costs.

ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company expensed a provision for loan losses of $73 in the first three months of 2007 in recognition of management’s estimate of risks inherent with lending activities. Among other factors, management considers the Company’s historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, the value and adequacy of collateral and guarantors, non-performing credits, and current and anticipated economic conditions in making its estimate of risk. There are additional risks of future loan losses that cannot be precisely quantified or attributed to particular loans or classes of loans.

 

14


Table of Contents

Since those risks include general economic trends as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the allowance for loan losses is an estimate. The allowance is also subject to regulatory examinations and determinations as to adequacy, which may take into account such factors as the methodology used to calculate the allowance. The allowance for loan losses was $1,819 as of March 31, 2007, representing approximately 0.84% of total loans outstanding. Management believes the allowance was adequate as of March 31, 2007 to provide for loan losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. Management evaluates the reasonableness of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and adjusts the provision as deemed appropriate.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND IMPAIRED LOANS

Non-performing assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans and foreclosed properties, were $114 at March 31, 2007 and $518 at March 31, 2006. No foreclosed properties were held as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Non-accrual loans were $114 at March 31, 2007 and $255 at December 31, 2006. Loans are generally placed in nonaccrual status when the collection of principal and interest is 90 days or more past due, unless the obligation is both well-secured and in the process of collection. A loan is considered an impaired loan when, based on the then current information and facts, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans equaled nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2007.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds from alternative funding sources. The Company’s liquidity is provided by cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, investments available for sale, managing investment maturities, interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions and loan repayments. The Company’s ability to obtain deposits and purchase funds at favorable rates also affects its liquidity. As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and its ability to generate liquidity through alternative funding sources, management believes that the Bank maintains overall liquidity that is sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and to meet customers’ credit needs. The Company’s ratio of liquid assets to deposits and short-term borrowings was 15.06% as of March 31, 2007 and 14.89% as of December 31, 2006. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include its capacity to borrow additional funds through correspondent banks. The Company has an established federal funds line with a regional correspondent bank of $12,495 that had no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2007 and an established line with the FHLB that had $75 outstanding under a total line of $34,737 as of March 31, 2007. The Company derives cash flows from its operating, investing,

 

15


Table of Contents

and financing activities. Cash flows of the Company are primarily used to fund loans and securities and are provided by the deposits and borrowings of the Company.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There were no material changes in the Company’s contractual obligations from the information provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

CAPITAL

The Company believes that its financial position at March 31, 2007 reflects liquidity and capital levels currently adequate to fund anticipated future business expansion. Capital ratios are well above required regulatory minimums for a well-capitalized institution. The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, and changing competitive conditions and economic forces. The adequacy of the Company’s capital is reviewed by management regularly. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses.

Stockholders’ equity reached $24,990 at March 31, 2007 compared to $24,492 at December 31, 2006. At March 31, 2007, the Company’s leverage ratio (Tier I capital divided by quarterly average assets) was 9.54% compared to 9.80% at December 31, 2006. Each of these ratios exceeded the required minimum leverage ratio of 4%.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

There were no material changes in the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements and commitments from the information provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company, in the normal course of business, may at times be a party to financial instruments such as standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit as of March 31, 2007 equaled $1,980. Other commitments include commitments to extend credit. Not all of these commitments will be acted upon; therefore, the cash requirements will likely be significantly less than the commitments themselves. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had unused loan commitments of $72,031, including $61,854 in unused commitments with an original maturity exceeding one year.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the

 

16


Table of Contents

consolidated financial statements. The Company’s most critical accounting policy relates to the Company’s allowance for loan losses, which reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s borrowers to make required loan payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s borrowers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, the Company’s estimates would be updated, and additional provisions for loan losses could be required. Further information regarding the estimates used in determining the allowance for loan losses is contained in the discussions on “Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses” on page 15 herein and “Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses” on page 34 of the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). SFAS No. 158 and its impact on the Company are discussed in Note 1(k) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value. An entity must report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date, and recognize upfront costs and fees related to those items in earnings as incurred and not deferred. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The provisions of this standard will be effective for the Company’s 2008 fiscal year. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS 159.

As of May 11, 2007, there are no other new accounting standards issued, but not yet adopted by the Company, which are expected to be applicable to the Company’s financial position, operating results or financial statement disclosures.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

Market risk reflects the risk of economic loss resulting from changes in interest rates and market prices. If the Bank is to achieve its financial goals, it must effectively manage this risk.

The primary market risk for a bank is interest rate risk and its impact on net interest income. This exposure results from differences between the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities that reprice within a specified time period as a result of scheduled maturities and repayment and contractual interest rate changes.

The Bank’s Asset/Liability Management Committee and the Investment Committee are primarily responsible for establishing strategies to monitor and control liquidity and interest rate risk. The primary goal for managing interest rate volatility is to maximize net interest income while ensuring liquidity and managing interest rate risk within established guidelines. The Bank uses static gap analysis, earnings simulation analysis and economic value of equity (net present value estimation) to monitor interest rate risk. Each of these models measures changes in a variety of interest rate scenarios. While each of the interest rate risk measures have limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably comprehensive view of the magnitude of interest rate risk in the Company, the distribution of risk along the yield curve, the level of risk through time, and the amount of exposure to changes in certain interest rate relationships. Static gap which measures aggregate repricing is less utilized since it does not effectively measure the earnings impact on the Company and is not addressed here. However, earnings simulation and economic value models that more effectively measure the earnings impact and are utilized by management on a regular basis are explained below.

EARNINGS SIMULATION ANALYSIS

Management uses earnings simulation analysis to measure interest rate sensitivity and its impact on future earnings. The simulation uses current balance sheet volumes, growth, repricings, changes in mix of assets and liabilities, prepayments and average rate paid and earned assumptions to project income under multiple interest rate scenarios.

The following table represents the interest rate sensitivity on net income for the Company using different rate scenarios as of December 31, 2006.

ECONOMIC VALUE OF EQUITY SIMULATION

Economic value of equity simulation is used to calculate the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities in different interest rate environments. Economic values are calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis. The economic value of equity is the economic value of all assets minus the economic value of all liabilities. The change in economic value of equity over different rate environments is an indication of the longer term repricing risk in the balance sheet. The same assumptions are used in the economic value of equity simulation as in the earnings simulation.

The following chart reflects the change in the economic value of equity by using December 31, 2006 data, over different rate environments with a one-year horizon.

There have been no material changes in quantitative and qualitative market risk since this information was developed using December 31, 2006 data.

The Bank cannot predict future interest rates or their exact effect on net interest income. Certain limitations are inherent in any analysis. There is no guarantee that the risk management and balance sheet strategies management employs will be effective in periods of rapid rate movements. Furthermore, these analyses do not reflect actions management might take in response to or in anticipation of changes in interest rates.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that material information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required, management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

The Company’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
