Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)   $ in thousands, except per share data   Note 1:   General   The consolidated financial statements of National Bankshares, Inc. (“NBI”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The National Bank of Blacksburg (the “Bank” or “NBB”) and National Bankshares Financial Services, Inc. (“NBFS”) (collectively, the “Company”), conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and to general practices within the banking industry. The accompanying interim period consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements, have been included.  The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year or any other interim period.  The interim period consolidated financial statements and financial information included in this Form 10 -Q should be read in conjunction with the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2021 Form 10 -K.  The Company posts all reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on its web site at www.nationalbankshares.com .   Risks and Uncertainties Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID- 19 pandemic and efforts to reduce its spread have caused significant disruptions in the U.S. economy and negatively impacted financial activity in the Company’s market. The Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its employees and customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. The pandemic appears to be receding, however if the pandemic re-escalates, the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, credit risk, asset valuations and capital position.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016 - 13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326 ): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in this ASU, among other things, require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The FASB has issued multiple updates to ASU 2016 - 13 as codified in Topic 326, including ASU’s 2019 - 04, 2019 - 05, 2019 - 10, 2019 - 11, 2020 - 02, and 2020 - 03. These ASU’s have provided for various minor technical corrections and improvements to the codification as well as other transition matters. Smaller reporting companies who file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and all other entities who do not file with the SEC are required to apply the guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016 - 13 will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company is working to ensure readiness and compliance with the standard. The Company has engaged with a vendor, validated data, analyzed correlations for forecasting, selected methodologies and is running parallel models.  An external validation firm is currently reviewing the model. Management will continue to refine assumptions that impact the calculation prior to the effective date Effective November 25, 2019, the SEC adopted Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 119. SAB 119 updated portions of SEC interpretative guidance to align with FASB ASC 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” It covers topics including ( 1 ) measuring current expected credit losses; ( 2 ) development, governance, and documentation of a systematic methodology; ( 3 ) documenting the results of a systematic methodology; and ( 4 ) validating a systematic methodology. In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022 - 03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820 ): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. ASU 2022 - 03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2022 - 03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.   11 Table of Contents       In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022 - 02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326 ), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” ASU 2022 - 02 addresses areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the credit losses standard (ASU 2016 - 13 ) that introduced the CECL model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require a public business entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively, except for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016 - 13, ASU 2022 - 02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016 - 13, the effective dates for ASU 2022 - 02 are the same as the effective dates in ASU 2016 - 13. Early adoption is permitted if an entity has adopted ASU 2016 - 13. An entity may elect to early adopt the amendments about TDRs and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2022 - 02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.       Note 2:   Loan Portfolio   The loan portfolio, excluding mortgage loans held for sale, was comprised of the following.       June 30, 2022     December 31, 2021   Real estate construction   $ 69,724     $ 48,841   Consumer real estate     217,143       208,977   Commercial real estate     425,388       405,722   Commercial non real estate     52,338       60,264   Public sector and IDA     49,856       47,899   Consumer non real estate     34,825       32,026   Gross loans     849,274       803,729   Less unearned income and deferred fees and costs     ( 460 )     ( 481 ) Loans, net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs   $ 848,814     $ 803,248       Note 3:   Allowance for Loan Losses, Nonperforming Assets and Impaired Loans   The allowance for loan losses methodology incorporates individual evaluation of impaired loans and collective evaluation of groups of non-impaired loans. The Company performs ongoing analysis of the loan portfolio to determine credit quality on an individual loan basis and to identify impaired loans. Please refer to the Company’s 2021 Form 10 -K, Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information on evaluation of impaired loans and associated specific reserves, and policies regarding nonaccruals, past due status and charge-offs.   12 Table of Contents     Collectively-Evaluated Loans The loan portfolio is comprised of major segments and smaller classes within each segment. Segments and classes are determined based on characteristics such as collateral type and intended use, repayment sources, and (if applicable) the borrower’s business model. The methodology for calculating reserves for collectively evaluated loans is applied at the class level. The Company’s segments and classes within each segment are presented below:   Portfolio Segments and Classes The segments and classes used in determining the allowance for loan losses are as follows. Real Estate Construction Construction, residential Construction, other   Consumer Real Estate Equity lines Residential closed-end first liens Residential closed-end junior liens Investor-owned residential real estate   Commercial Real Estate Multifamily real estate Commercial real estate, owner-occupied Commercial real estate, other Commercial Non Real Estate Commercial and industrial   Public Sector and IDA Public sector and IDA   Consumer Non Real Estate Credit cards Automobile Other consumer loans   Collectively-evaluated loans within each class are further stratified by risk rating: pass-rated loans, loans rated special mention, and loans rated classified. Credit risk for collectively-evaluated loans is estimated at the class level, by risk rating, by applying historical net charge-off rates and percentages for qualitative factors that influence credit risk. Please refer to the Company’s 2021 Form 10 -K, Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a discussion of risk factors pertinent to each class.   A detailed analysis showing the allowance roll-forward by portfolio segment and related loan balance by segment follows.       Activity in the Allowance for Loan Losses for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022       Real Estate Construction     Consumer Real Estate     Commercial Real Estate     Commercial Non Real Estate     Public Sector and IDA     Consumer Non Real Estate     Unallocated     Total   Balance, December 31, 2021   $ 422     $ 1,930     $ 3,121     $ 1,099     $ 297     $ 444     $ 361     $ 7,674   Charge-offs     -

The impairment measurement for all three loans at June 30, 2021 was based upon the collateral method and did not result in a specific allocation.   The following table presents restructurings by class that occurred during the six month period ended June 30, 2021.       Restructurings That Occurred During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021       Number of Contracts     Pre-Modification Outstanding Principal Balance     Post-Modification Outstanding Principal Balance   Commercial Real Estate                         Commercial real estate owner-occupied     1     $ 102     $ 102   Commercial real estate, other     2       2,724       2,724   Total     3     $ 2,826     $ 2,826     Defaulted TDRs The Company analyzed its TDR portfolio for loans that defaulted during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, and that were modified within 12 months prior to default. The Company designates three circumstances that indicate default: one or more payments that occur more than 90 days past the due date, charge-off, or foreclosure after the date of restructuring.   Of the Company’s TDRs at June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, none of the defaulted TDRs were modified within 12 months prior to default. All of the defaulted TDRs were in nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.   20 Table of Contents       Note 4: Securities   The amortized costs, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair values for securities available for sale by major security type are as follows.       June 30, 2022       Amortized Costs     Gross Unrealized Gains     Gross Unrealized Losses     Fair Values   Available for Sale:                                 U.S. Treasuries   $ 990     $ -     $ 35     $ 955   U.S. Government agencies and corporations     369,410       152       35,141       334,421   States and political subdivisions     193,019       103       29,341       163,781   Mortgage-backed securities     183,047       27       5,894       177,180   Corporate debt securities     6,500       -       586       5,914   Total securities available for sale   $ 752,966     $ 282     $ 70,997     $ 682,251         December 31, 2021       Amortized Costs     Gross Unrealized Gains     Gross Unrealized Losses     Fair Values   Available for Sale:                                 U.S. Government agencies and corporations   $ 279,934     $ 2,795     $ 4,710     $ 278,019   States and political subdivisions     195,365       5,314       2,007       198,672   Mortgage-backed securities     204,164       2,323       313       206,174   Corporate debt securities     3,004       248       37       3,215   Total securities available for sale   $ 682,467     $ 10,680     $ 7,067     $ 686,080     The amortized cost and fair value of single maturity securities available for sale at June 30, 2022, by contractual maturity, are shown below.

Of the temporarily impaired securities, 116 securities with a fair value of $ 106,949 and an unrealized loss of $ 22,130 have been in a continuous loss position for twelve months or more. The Company determined that these securities are temporarily impaired at June 30, 2022 for the reasons set out below. U.S. Government agencies and corporations:  Unrealized losses of $ 12,228 on 77 securities with a fair value of $ 64,695 were caused by interest rate and market fluctuations. The contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuers to settle the securities at a price less than the cost basis of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider the securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired.          States and political subdivisions:  The unrealized loss of $ 9,310 on state and political subdivision securities stemmed from 35 securities with a fair value of $ 32,812 . The Company reviewed financial statements and cash flows for each of the securities in a continuous loss position for more than 12 months. The Company’s analysis determined that the unrealized losses are primarily the result of interest rate and market fluctuations and not associated with impaired financial status. The contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuers to settle the securities at a price less than the cost basis of each investment. The Company is monitoring bond market trends to develop strategies to address unrealized losses. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider the investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.          Mortgage-backed securities:  The unrealized loss of $ 592 on mortgage-backed securities stemmed from four securities with a fair value of $ 9,442 . The unrealized loss was caused by interest rate and market fluctuations. The contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the cost basis of each investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider the investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired. Management regularly monitors the credit quality of the investment portfolio. Changes in ratings are noted and follow-up research on the issuer is undertaken when warranted. Management intends to carefully monitor any changes in bond quality.   Restricted Stock. The Company held restricted stock of $ 941 as of June 30, 2022 and $ 845 at December 31, 2021. Restricted stock is reported separately from available for sale securities. As a member bank of the Federal Reserve system and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), NBB is required to maintain certain minimum investments in the common stock of those entities. Required levels of investment are based upon NBB’s capital, current borrowings, and a percentage of qualifying assets. The correspondents provide calculations that require the Company purchase or sell stock back to the correspondents. The stock is held by member institutions only and is not actively traded.   22 Table of Contents     Redemption of FHLB stock is subject to certain limitations and conditions. At its discretion, the FHLB may declare dividends on the stock. In addition to dividends, NBB also benefits from its membership with FHLB through eligibility to borrow from the FHLB, using as collateral NBB’s capital stock investment in the FHLB and qualifying NBB real estate mortgage loans totaling $630,515 at June 30, 2022. Management reviews for impairment based upon the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis of the FHLB stock, and at June 30, 2022, management did not determine any impairment.     Note 5: Defined Benefit Plan             Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost:       Pension Benefits       Three Months Ended June 30,       2022     2021   Service cost   $ 324     $ 361   Interest cost     204       184   Expected return on plan assets     ( 629 )     ( 555 ) Amortization of prior service cost     -       ( 3 ) Recognized net actuarial loss     110       208   Net periodic benefit cost   $ 9     $ 195         Pension Benefits       Six Months Ended June 30,       2022     2021   Service cost   $ 648     $ 722   Interest cost     408       368   Expected return on plan assets     ( 1,258 )     ( 1,110 ) Amortization of prior service cost     -       ( 6 ) Recognized net actuarial loss     220       416   Net periodic benefit cost   $ 18     $ 390     The service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is included in salaries and employee benefits expense in the consolidated statements of income. All other components are included in other noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company did not make a contribution to the defined benefit plan.     Note 6: Fair Value Measurements   Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of the observable inputs and minimize the use of the unobservable inputs. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in one of the three levels. These levels are:     Level 1 –  Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.   Level 2 – Valuation is based on observable inputs including: ●         quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, ●         quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, ●         inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and ●         model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.   Level 3 –  Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.   23 Table of Contents   Fair value is best determined by quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. When 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, fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Accounting guidance for fair value excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from disclosure requirements. Consequently, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.          The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated financial statements:   Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis   Securities Available for Sale Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1 ). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2 ). The carrying value of restricted Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta stock approximates fair value based upon the redemption provisions of each entity and is therefore excluded from the following tables. The following tables present the balances of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated.   June 30, 2022   Fair Value Measurements Using   Description   Balance     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3   U.S. Treasuries   $ 955           $ 955         U.S. Government agencies and corporations     334,421       -       334,421       -   States and political subdivisions     163,781       -       163,781       -   Mortgage-backed securities     177,180       -       177,180       -   Corporate debt securities     5,914       -       5,914       -   Total securities available for sale   $ 682,251     $ -     $ 682,251     $ -     December 31, 2021   Fair Value Measurements Using   Description   Balance     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3   U.S. Government agencies and corporations   $ 278,019     $ -     $ 278,019     $ -   States and political subdivisions     198,672       -       198,672       -   Mortgage-backed securities     206,174       -       206,174       -   Corporate debt securities     3,215       -       3,215       -   Total securities available for sale   $ 686,080     $ -     $ 686,080     $ -     The Company’s securities portfolio is valued using Level 2 inputs. The Company relies on an independent third party vendor to provide market valuations. The inputs used to determine value include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two -sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. The third party vendor also monitors market indicators, industry activity and economic events as part of the valuation process. Central to the final valuation is the assumption that the indicators used are representative of the fair value of securities held within the Company’s portfolio. Level 2 inputs are subject to a certain degree of uncertainty and changes in these assumptions or methodologies in the future, if any, may impact securities fair value, deferred tax assets or liabilities, or expense.   Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis Certain financial instruments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements.   24 Table of Contents     Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. These loans currently consist of one -to- four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2 ). As such, the Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.   Impaired Loans Impaired loans are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. If an individually evaluated impaired loan’s balance exceeds fair value, the amount is allocated to the allowance for loan losses. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of an impaired loan may be measured using one of three methods. Each method falls within a different level of the fair value hierarchy. The observable market price of a loan is categorized as a Level 1 input. The present value of projected cash flows method results in a Level 3 categorization because the calculation relies on the Company’s judgment to determine projected cash flows, which are then discounted at the current rate of the loan, or the rate prior to modification if the loan is a TDR. Loans measured using the fair value of collateral may be categorized in Level 2 or Level 3. Loans valued using the collateral method may be secured by real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. Real estate collateral secures most loans and valuation is based upon the “as-is” value of independent appraisals or evaluations. Appraisals are prepared by independent, licensed appraisers using observable market data analyzed through an income or sales valuation approach. Appraisals of less than 24 months of age result in Level 2 categorization. If a current appraisal cannot be obtained prior to a reporting date and an existing appraisal is discounted to estimate value, or if declines in value are identified after the date of the appraisal, or if an appraisal is discounted for estimated selling costs, or if the appraisal uses unobservable market data, the valuation of real estate collateral is categorized as Level 3. Loans valued using an independent real estate evaluations are categorized as Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal (Level 2 ) if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements (Level 3 ) if not considered significant. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3 ). If a current appraisal uses unobservable data as part of the assessment, the value of the collateral is classified as Level 3. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, measurement of the Company’s impaired loans did not result in any specific allocations.   Other Real Estate Owned Certain assets such as other real estate owned (“OREO”) are measured at fair value less cost to sell. Valuation of OREO is determined using current appraisals from independent parties, a Level 2 input. If current appraisals cannot be obtained prior to reporting dates, or if declines in value are identified after a recent appraisal is received, appraisal values are discounted, resulting in Level 3 estimates. If the Company markets the property with a realtor, estimated selling costs reduce the fair value, resulting in a valuation based on Level 3 inputs.   The following table summarizes the Company’s OREO that was measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.   Date Description   Balance     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3   June 30, 2022 OREO, net of valuation allowance   $ 957     $ -     $ -     $ 957   December 31, 2021 OREO, net of valuation allowance     957       -       -       957     The following table presents information about OREO and Level 3 Fair Value Measurements for the dates indicated.   Date Valuation Technique Unobservable Input   Range (Weighted Average)   June 30, 2022 Discounted appraised value Selling cost     6.20 % (1)   December 31, 2021 Discounted appraised value Selling cost     6.20 % (1)       ( 1 ) As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OREO was composed of a single property.   At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, OREO was measured using appraised value, discounted by selling cost. Discounts for selling costs are recognized when the Company markets OREO properties via local realtors. The Company works with the realtor to determine the list price, which may be set at appraised value or at a different amount based on the realtor’s advice and management’s judgement of marketability. Selling costs for improved land generally are estimated at 6% of the list price, and for raw land at 10% of the list price. If the final sale price is different from the list price, the amount of selling costs will also be different from those estimated.             25 Table of Contents     There is uncertainty in determining discounts to appraised value. Future changes to marketability assumptions or updated appraisals may indicate in a lower fair value, with a corresponding impact to net income. Ultimate proceeds from the sale of OREO property may be less than the estimated fair value, reducing net income.   Fair Value Summary The following presents the recorded amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of the dates indicated.

Noninterest revenue streams such as service charges on deposit accounts, other service charges and fees, credit and debit card fees, trust income, and annuity and insurance commissions are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are outside the scope of the guidance. Noninterest revenue streams within the scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.   Service Charges on Deposit Accounts Service charges on deposit accounts consist of monthly service fees, overdraft and nonsufficient funds fees, ATM fees, wire transfer fees, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Wire transfer fees, overdraft and nonsufficient funds fees and other deposit account related fees are transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time.   Other Service Charges and Fees Other service charges include safety deposit box rental fees, check ordering charges, and other service charges. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company determined that since rentals and renewals occur fairly consistently over time, revenue is recognized on a basis consistent with the duration of the performance obligation. Check ordering charges are transactional based, and therefore the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time.   27 Table of Contents     Credit and Debit Card Fees Credit and debit card fees are primarily comprised of interchange fee income and merchant services income. Interchange fees are earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa and MasterCard. Merchant services income mainly represents commission fees based upon merchant processing volume. The Company’s performance obligation for interchange fee income and merchant services income are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. In compliance with Topic 606, credit and debit card fee income is presented net of associated expense.   Trust Income Trust income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and estates and other customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. Estate management fees are based upon the size of the estate. A partial fee is recognized half-way through the estate administration and the remainder of the fee is recognized when remaining assets are distributed and the estate is closed.   Insurance and Investment Insurance income primarily consists of commissions received on insurance product sales. The Company acts as an intermediary between the Company’s customer and the insurance carrier. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied upon the issuance of the insurance policy. Shortly after the insurance policy is issued, the carrier remits the commission payment to the Company, and the Company recognizes the revenue. Investment income consists of recurring revenue streams such as commissions from sales of mutual funds and other investments. Commissions from the sale of mutual funds and other investments are recognized on trade date, which is when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation. The Company also receives periodic service fees (i.e., trailers) from mutual fund companies typically based on a percentage of net asset value. Trailer revenue is recorded over time, usually monthly or quarterly, as net asset value is determined.   The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.       Three Months Ended June 30,       2022     2021   Noninterest Income                 In-scope of Topic 606:                 Service charges on deposit accounts   $ 603     $ 471   Other service charges and fees     51       43   Credit and debit card fees, net     535       479   Trust income     439       434   Insurance and Investment (included within Other Income on the Consolidated Statements of Income)     141       141   Noninterest Income (in-scope of Topic 606)   $ 1,769     $ 1,568   Noninterest Income (out-of-scope of Topic 606)     343       373   Total noninterest income   $ 2,112     $ 1,941     28 Table of Contents         Six Months Ended June 30,       2022     2021   Noninterest Income                 In-scope of Topic 606:                 Service charges on deposit accounts   $ 1,165     $ 940   Other service charges and fees     106       84   Credit and debit card fees, net     975       913   Trust income     882       849   Insurance and Investment (included within Other Income on the Consolidated Statements of Income)     348       540   Noninterest Income (in-scope of Topic 606)   $ 3,476     $ 3,326   Noninterest Income (out-of-scope of Topic 606)     927       949   Total noninterest income   $ 4,403     $ 4,275     Note 9: Leases The Company’s leases are recorded under ASC Topic 842, “Leases”. The Company examines its contracts to determine whether they are or contain a lease. A contract with a lease is further examined to determine whether the lease is a short-term, operating or finance lease. As permitted by ASC Topic 842, the Company elected not to capitalize short-term leases, defined by the standard as leases with terms of 12 months or less. The Company also elected the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease components within a single contract. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized for operating and finance leases. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable, prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease.    Lease payments Lease payments for short-term leases are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, or for variable lease payments, in the period in which the obligation was incurred. Payments for leases with terms longer than 12 months are included in the determination of the lease liability. Payments may be fixed for the term of the lease or variable. Variable payments result when the lease agreement includes a clause providing for escalation of lease payments at specified dates. If the escalation factor is known, such as a specified percentage increase per year or a stated increase at a specified time, the variable payment is included in the cash flows used to determine the lease liability. If the variable payment is based upon an unknown escalator, such as the consumer price index at a future date, the increase is not included in the cash flows used to determine the lease liability. One of the Company’s leases provides a known escalator that is included in the determination of the lease liability. The remaining leases do not have variable payments during the term of the lease.   Options to Extend, Residual Value Guarantees, and Restrictions and Covenants Of the Company’s five operating leases, three leases provide options to extend the lease term. Two of the leases have two options of five years each. At the time of capitalization, the Company was not reasonably certain whether it would exercise the options and did not include the optional time period in the calculation of the lease liability. One of the leases has one option to extend the term for an additional five years.  At the time of capitalization, the Company was not reasonably certain whether it would exercise the option and did not include the optional time period in the calculation of the lease liability.  The Company exercised a previous option in 2020 that was included in the calculation of the lease liability. The lease agreement provides that the lease payment will increase at the exercise date based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”). Because the CPI-U at the exercise date is unknown, the increase is not included in the cash flows determining the lease liability. None of the Company’s leases provide for residual value guarantees and none provide restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.   29 Table of Contents     The Company’s lease right of use asset is included in other assets and the lease liability is included in other liabilities.

These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in:   ● interest rates,   ● general and local economic conditions,   ● the legislative/regulatory climate,   ● monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), and the impact of any policies or programs implemented pursuant to financial reform legislation,   ● unanticipated increases in the level of unemployment in the Company’s market,   ● the quality or composition of the loan and/or investment portfolios,   ● demand for loan products,   ● deposit flows,   ● competition,   ● demand for financial services in the Company’s market,   ● the real estate market in the Company’s market,   ● laws, regulations and policies impacting financial institutions,   ● technological risks and developments, and cyber-threats, attacks or events,   ● the Company’s technology initiatives,   ● performance by the Company’s counterparties or vendors,   ● applicable accounting principles, policies and guidelines,   ● business disruption and/or impact due to the coronavirus or similar pandemic diseases, and   ● the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the uncertainty regarding new variants of COVID-19, the efficacy of vaccine and treatment developments, the impact of loosening or tightening of government restrictions, and the heightened impact it has on many of the risks described herein,   ● geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts, or actions taken by the U.S. or other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts, negatively impacting business and economic conditions in the U.S. and abroad. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this report. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on those statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the description of our “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the most recently filed Form 10-K.   Cybersecurity The Company considers cybersecurity risk to be one of the greatest risks to its business. We have deployed a multi-faceted approach to limit the risk and impact of unauthorized access to customer accounts and to information relevant to customer accounts. We use digital technology safeguards, internal policies and procedures, and employee training to reduce the exposure of our systems to cyber-intrusions. The Company also requires assurances from key vendors regarding their cybersecurity. We control functionalities of online and mobile banking to reduce risk. We do not offer online account openings or loan originations. We do not permit customers to submit address changes or wire requests through online banking, and we limit the dollar amount of online banking transfers to other banks. We require a special vetting process for commercial customers who wish to originate ACH transfers.   31 Table of Contents     Further, the Company has a program to identify, mitigate and manage its cybersecurity risks.  The program includes penetration testing and vulnerability assessment, technological defenses such as antivirus software, patch management, firewall management, email and web protections, an intrusion prevention system, a cybersecurity insurance policy which covers some but not all losses arising from cybersecurity breaches, as well as ongoing employee training.  The cost of these measures was $93 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $95 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the expense was $187 and $193 respectively. These costs are included in various categories of noninterest expense. However, it is not possible to fully eliminate exposure. The potential for financial and reputational losses due to cyber-breaches is increased by the possibility of human error, unknown system susceptibilities, and the rising sophistication of cyber-criminals to attack systems, disable safeguards and gain access to accounts and related information. We maintain insurance for these risks but insurance policies are subject to exceptions, exclusions and terms whose applications have not been widely interpreted in litigation. Accordingly, insurance can provide less than complete protection against the losses that result from cybersecurity breaches and pursuing recovery from insurers can result in significant expense. In addition, some risks such as reputational damage and loss of customer goodwill, which can result from cybersecurity breaches, cannot be insured against.   Response to COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the global economy since the first quarter of 2020. The Company has a robust business continuity plan, and partners with vendors whom we believe also have robust business continuity plans. In implementing its business continuity plan to address the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has not incurred material expenditures and does not anticipate material expenditures. Further, all critical functions are cross-trained as part of our business continuity preparedness. Controls over cash and physical assets have remained in place and internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure have been maintained.   Critical Accounting Policies   General             The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value obtained when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or satisfying a liability. Although the economics of the Company’s transactions may not change, the timing of events that would impact the transactions could change. Presented below is a discussion of accounting policies that are the most important to the portrayal and understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies require management’s most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. If conditions occur that differ from our assumptions, depending upon the severity of such differences, the Company’s financial condition or results of operations may be materially impacted. The Company evaluates its critical accounting estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and updates them as needed. There have been no changes since December 31, 2021. Please refer to the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K, Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information on the Company’s accounting policies.   Allowance for Loan Losses The Company evaluates the allowance each quarter through a methodology that estimates losses on individual impaired loans and evaluates the effect of numerous factors on the credit risk of groups of homogeneous loans (collectively-evaluated loans).   Impaired loans Impaired loans are identified through the Company’s credit risk rating process. Generally, impaired loans have risk ratings that indicate higher risk, such as “classified” or “special mention.” Nonaccrual loan relationships that meet the Company’s balance threshold of $250 are designated impaired. The Company also designates as impaired other loan relationships that meet the Company’s balance threshold of $250 and for which a credit review identified a weakness that indicates principal and interest will not be collected according to the loan terms. All TDRs, regardless of size or past due status, are designated impaired.   TDRs Loan modifications are reviewed to determine whether, at the time of the modification, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and whether the Company provided a concession that it would not otherwise consider. Modified loans that meet this criteria are designated TDRs.   Individual evaluation At the reporting date, the fair value of each impaired loan is estimated using either the cash flow method or the collateral method.   32 Table of Contents     Cash flow method The cash flow method is applied to loans that are not collateral dependent and for which cash flows may be estimated. The cash flow method measures fair value using assumptions specific to each loan, including expected amount and timing of cash flows and discount rate. For TDR loans, the discount rate is the rate immediately prior to the modification that resulted in a TDR. If an impaired loan evaluated under the cash flow method becomes 90 days or more past due, it is examined to determine whether the late payment indicates collateral dependency or cash flows below those that were used in the fair value measurement.   Collateral method The collateral method is applied to impaired loans that are collateral-dependent, for which foreclosure is imminent or for which non-collateral repayment sources are determined not to be available or reliable. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. Fair value is based upon the “as-is” value of independent appraisals or evaluations. Impaired loans secured by residential 1-4 family properties with outstanding principal balances greater than $250 are valued using an appraisal. Appraisals are also used to value impaired loans secured by commercial real estate with outstanding principal balances greater than $500. Impaired loans secured by residential 1-4 family property with outstanding principal balances of $250 or less, or secured by commercial real estate with outstanding principal balances of $500 or less, are valued using a real estate evaluation prepared by a third party. Appraisals must conform to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and are prepared by an independent third-party appraiser who is certified and licensed and who is approved by the Company. Appraisals may incorporate market analysis, comparable sales analysis, cash flow analysis and market data pertinent to the property to determine market value. Evaluations are prepared by third party providers and reviewed by Company employees who are independent of the loan origination, operation, management and collection functions. Evaluations provide a property’s market value based on the property’s current physical condition and characteristics and pertinent economic conditions. Multiple sources of data contribute to the estimate of market value, including physical inspection, independent third-party automated tools, comparable sales analysis and local market information. Updated appraisals or evaluations are ordered when a loan becomes impaired if the appraisal or evaluation on file is more than 24 months old. Appraisals and evaluations are reviewed for propriety and reasonableness and may be discounted if the Company determines that the value exceeds reasonable levels. If an updated appraisal or evaluation has been ordered but has not been received by a reporting date, the fair value may be based on the most recent available appraisal or evaluation, discounted for age. The appraisal or evaluation value is reduced by selling costs if recovery is expected solely from the sale of collateral.   Nonaccrual status of impaired loans Nonaccrual status is applied to impaired loans that are not TDRs and for which fair value measurement indicates an impairment loss. Nonaccrual status is applied to TDRs that allow the borrower to discontinue payments of principal or interest for more than 90 days, unless the modification provides reasonable assurance of repayment performance and collateral value supports regular underwriting requirements. TDRs that maintain current status for at least a six-month period, including history prior to restructuring, may accrue interest. Impaired loans with partial charge-offs are maintained as impaired until the remaining balance is satisfied.   Collectively evaluated loans Non-impaired loans are grouped by portfolio segments. Portfolio segments are further divided into smaller loan classes. Loans within a segment or class have similar risk characteristics. Credit loss on collectively-evaluated loans is estimated by applying to current class balances the class historical charge-off rates and percentages for qualitative factors that affect credit risk. Qualitative factors include changes in national and local economic and business conditions, the nature and volume of classes within the portfolio, loan quality, loan officers’ experience, lending policies and the Company’s loan review system. The qualitative factor allocations are determined for pass-rated loans. To reflect the increased risk of criticized assets, qualitative factor allocations are multiplied by 150% for special mention loans, and multiplied by 200% for classified loans.   Loss rates Loss rates are calculated for and applied to individual classes by averaging loss rates over the most recent eight quarters. Two loss rates for each class are calculated: total net charge-offs for the class as a percentage of average class loan balance (“class loss rate”), and total net charge-offs for the class as a percentage of average classified loans in the class (“classified loss rate”). Net charge-offs in both calculations include charge-offs and recoveries for all loans within the class, including classified and non-classified loans, as well as impaired and TDR loans. If the loss rate calculation results in a recovery, the loss rate applied is zero. Class historical loss rates are applied to collectively evaluated pass-rated loan balances and special mention rated loan balances, and classified historical loss rates are applied to collectively evaluated classified loan balances.   Qualitative factor allocations The analysis of certain factors results in standard allocations to all classes. These factors include the risk from changes in lending policies, loan officers’ experience, changes in loan review, and economic factors including local unemployment levels, local bankruptcy rates, interest rate environment, and competition/legal/regulatory environments. Standard allocations for residential vacancy rates and housing inventory are applied to residential construction, investor-owned residential real estate, multifamily loans, other commercial real estate, state and political subdivision loans and all classes within the consumer real estate segment.   33 Table of Contents     Qualitative factors incorporate economic data targeted to the Company’s market. If market–specific information is not available on a timely basis, regional or national information that historically shows a high degree of correlation to market data may be used. Also applied to all segments and classes during 2021 was an economic factor implemented to address COVID-19 uncertainty: national unemployment filings. Local unemployment data lags the reporting date and the Company implemented analysis of national unemployment filings to capture current effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Historical analysis determined that local unemployment filings were closely correlated to national unemployment filings. National unemployment filings returned to pre-pandemic levels during the fourth quarter of 2021 and no allocation was made during 2022. Factors analyzed for each class, with resultant allocations based upon the level of risk assessed for each class, include levels of past due loans, levels of nonaccrual loans, current class balance as a percentage of total loans and the percentage of high risk loans within the class. High risk loans include junior liens, interest only and high loan to value loans. High risk loans within each class are analyzed and allocated additional reserves based on current trends.   Nonaccrual status The Company reviews loans with certain risk indicators to determine whether the loans should be placed on nonaccrual status, including loans that exceed 89 days past due, loans rated classified, and loans with a modification that provides relief from payments of interest or principle for more than 90 days. Loans in nonaccrual are reviewed on an individual loan basis to determine whether they may return to accrual status. To return to accrual status, the Company’s analysis must determine that future payments are reasonably assured. To satisfy this criteria, the Company’s evaluation must determine that the underlying cause of the original delinquency or weakness that indicated nonaccrual status has been resolved, such as receipt of new guarantees, increased cash flows that cover the debt service or other resolution. Nonaccrual loans that demonstrate reasonable assurance of future payments and that have made at least six consecutive payments in accordance with repayment terms and timeframes may be returned to accrual status.   Sales, purchases and reclassification of loans The Company finances consumer real estate mortgages under “best efforts” contracts with mortgage purchasers. The mortgages are designated as held for sale upon initiation. There have been no major reclassifications from portfolio loans to held for sale. Mortgages held for sale are not included in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses. Occasionally, the Company purchases or sells participations in loans. All participation loans purchased met the Company’s normal underwriting standards at the time the participation was entered. Participation loans are included in the appropriate portfolio balances to which the allowance methodology is applied.   Unallocated Surplus In addition to funding the allowance for loan losses based upon data analysis, the Company has the option to fund an unallocated surplus in excess to the calculated requirement, based upon management judgement. The Company’s policy permits an unallocated surplus of between 0% and 5% of the calculated requirement.   Estimation of the allowance for loan losses The estimation of the allowance involves analysis of internal and external variables, methodologies, assumptions and management’s judgment and experience. Key judgments used in determining the allowance for loan losses include internal risk rating determinations, market and collateral values, discount rates, loss rates, management’s assessment of current economic conditions, and management’s estimate of the impact of qualitative factors. These judgments are inherently subjective and actual losses could be greater or less than the estimate. Future estimates of the allowance could increase or decrease based on changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, concentrations of various types of loans, economic conditions or the markets in which collateral may be sold. The estimate of the allowance accrual determines the amount of provision expense and directly affects our financial results. The estimate of the allowance considered market conditions as of the reporting date where possible, and the most recent available information when data was not available as of the reporting date, portfolio conditions and levels of delinquencies at the reporting date, and net charge-offs in the eight quarters prior to the reporting date. For additional discussion of the allowance, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements and “Asset Quality,” and “Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses” of Management’s Discussion and Analysis.   Goodwill Goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value based test. The Company contracts with a third party valuation expert to perform impairment testing in the fourth quarter of each year. The Company’s most recent impairment test was performed using data from September 30, 2021. Accounting guidance provides the option of performing preliminary assessment of qualitative factors before performing more substantial testing for impairment. The Company opted not to perform the preliminary assessment. The Company’s goodwill impairment analysis considered three valuation techniques appropriate to the measurement. The first technique uses the Company’s market capitalization as an estimate of fair value; the second technique estimates fair value using current market pricing multiples for companies comparable to the Company; while the third technique uses current market pricing multiples for change-of-control transactions involving companies comparable to the Company. The analysis did not result in an impairment.   34 Table of Contents     Certain key judgments were used in the valuation measurement. Goodwill is held by the Company’s bank subsidiary. The bank subsidiary is 100% owned by the Company, and no market capitalization is available. Because most of the Company’s assets are comprised of the subsidiary bank’s equity, the Company’s market capitalization was used to estimate the Bank’s market capitalization. Other judgments include the assumption that the companies and transactions used as comparables for the second and third technique were appropriate to the estimate of the Company’s fair value, and that the comparable multiples are appropriate indicators of fair value, and compliant with accounting guidance.   Pension Plan The Company’s actuary determines plan obligations and annual pension plan expense using a number of key assumptions. Key assumptions may include the discount rate, the estimated return on plan assets and the anticipated rate of compensation increases. Changes in these assumptions in the future, if any, or in the method under which benefits are calculated, may impact pension assets, liabilities or expense.   Overview   National Bankshares, Inc. is a financial holding company that was organized in 1986 under the laws of Virginia and is registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956.

Details on non-GAAP measures follow.   Return on Average Assets and Return on Average Equity The return on average assets and return on average equity are measures of profitability, calculated by annualizing net income and dividing by average year-to-date assets or equity, respectively. Larger nonrecurring income or expenses are not annualized, in order to reduce distortion within the ratios. There were no adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. The table below presents the reconciliation of adjusted annualized net income, which is not a measurement under U.S. GAAP, for the six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.       Six months ended June 30,       2022     2021   Net Income   $ 10,460     $ 9,379   Items deemed non-recurring by management:                 Less: partnership income (1) , net of tax of ($77) in 2022 and ($98) in 2021     (290 )     (369 ) Securities gains, net of tax of ($1) in 2021     -       (4 ) Adjusted net income     10,170       9,006   Adjusted net income, annualized     20,509       18,161   Items deemed non-recurring by management:                 Add: partnership income, net of tax of $77 in 2022 and $98 in 2021     290       369   Add: securities gains, net of tax of $1 in 2021     -       4   Annualized net income for ratio calculation   $ 20,799     $ 18,534       (1) During the first quarter of each year, the Company adjusts its basis in partnership interests. During 2022 and 2021, the adjustment resulted in recognition of a gain. During 2022 and 2021, the Company also received a payout from a partnership interest. The gain and payout are recognized in other income. Partnership income is removed from income prior to annualization in order to avoid distortion, and added back to income after annualization.   35 Table of Contents     Net Interest Margin The Company uses the net interest margin to measure profit on interest generating activities, as a percentage of total interest-earning assets. The net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized taxable equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets. The portion of interest income that is nontaxable is grossed up to the tax equivalent by adding the tax benefit. The tax rate utilized in calculating the tax benefit is 21%. The reconciliation of tax equivalent net interest income, which is not a measurement under U.S. GAAP, to net interest income, is reflected in the table below.       Three months ended June 30,       2022     2021   GAAP measures:                 Interest and fees on loans   $ 8,324     $ 8,466   Interest on interest-bearing deposits     202       39   Interest and dividends on securities - taxable     2,949       1,910   Interest on securities - nontaxable     447       482   Total interest income   $ 11,922     $ 10,897                     Interest on deposits   $ 647     $ 834   Net interest income   $ 11,275     $ 10,063                     Non-GAAP measures:                 Tax benefit on nontaxable loan income   $ 79     $ 78   Tax benefit on nontaxable securities income     151       160   Total tax benefit on nontaxable interest income   $ 230     $ 238   Total tax equivalent net interest income   $ 11,505     $ 10,301   Total tax equivalent net interest income, annualized   $ 46,146     $ 41,317         Six months ended June 30,       2022     2021   GAAP measures:                 Interest and fees on loans   $ 16,424     $ 17,016   Interest on interest-bearing deposits     251       67   Interest and dividends on securities - taxable     5,422       3,693   Interest on securities - nontaxable     875       1,003   Total interest income   $ 22,972     $ 21,779                     Interest on deposits   $ 1,302     $ 1,689   Net interest income   $ 21,670     $ 20,090                     Non-GAAP measures:                 Tax benefit on nontaxable loan income   $ 160     $ 153   Tax benefit on nontaxable securities income     297       331   Total tax benefit on nontaxable interest income   $ 457     $ 484   Total tax equivalent net interest income   $ 22,127     $ 20,574   Total tax equivalent net interest income, annualized   $ 44,621     $ 41,489     36 Table of Contents     Efficiency Ratio The efficiency ratio is computed by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis and noninterest income, excluding certain items management deems unusual or non-recurring.

The allowance at June 30, 2021 was $8,077 or 1.00% of loans net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs. The allowance at December 31, 2021 was $7,674 or 0.96% of loans net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs. The determination of the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses resulted in a provision of $444 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared with a provision of $54 for the six month period ended June 30, 2021, and a recovery of $398 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2021. To determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, the Company considers credit risk for certain loans designated as impaired and for non-impaired (“collectively evaluated”) loans.   Individually Evaluated Impaired Loans Individually evaluated impaired loans at June 30, 2022 were $5,809 gross and $5,810 net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs. There were no specific allocations to the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2022. Individually evaluated impaired loans at December 31, 2021 were $5,878 gross and $5,880 net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs. There were no specific allocations to the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2021. The specific allocation is determined based on criteria particular to each impaired loan.   38 Table of Contents     Collectively Evaluated Loans Collectively evaluated loans totaled $843,465 gross and $843,004 net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs, with an allowance of $8,069 or 0.96% of collectively-evaluated loans net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs at June 30, 2022. At December 31, 2021, collectively evaluated loans totaled $797,851 gross and $797,368 net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs, with an allowance of $7,674 or 0.96% of collectively-evaluated loans net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs. Collectively evaluated loans are divided into classes based upon risk characteristics. In order to calculate the allowance for collectively evaluated loans, the Company applies to each loan class a historical net charge-off rate for the class, adjusted for qualitative factors that influence credit risk. Qualitative factors evaluated for impact to credit risk include economic measures, asset quality indicators, loan characteristics, and changes to internal Company policies and changes in management.   Net Charge-Offs Increases in the net charge-off rate increase the required allowance for collectively-evaluated loans, while decreases in the net charge-off rate decrease the required allowance for collectively-evaluated loans. On a portfolio level, net charge-offs were $49 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, or 0.01% of average loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net charge-offs were $458, or 0.12% of average loans. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2021, net charge-offs were $409 or 0.05% of average loans. The 8-quarter average historical loss rate was 0.03% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 0.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 0.05% for the 12 months ended December 31, 2021.   Economic Factors Economic factors influence credit risk and impact the allowance for loan loss. The Company sources economic data pertinent to its market from the most recently available publications, including: unemployment, business and personal bankruptcy filings, the residential vacancy rate and the inventory of new and existing homes. As of June 30, 2022, the unemployment rate for the Company’s market area was measured as of April 30, 2022 and increased slightly from the measurement available at December 31, 2021, increasing the allocation to the allowance for loan losses. Business and personal bankruptcy filing data was available as of March 2022. Higher bankruptcy filings indicate heightened credit risk and increase the allowance for loan losses, while lower bankruptcy filings have a beneficial impact on credit risk. Compared with data available at December 31, 2021, business bankruptcy filings and personal bankruptcy filings slightly decreased. The Company estimates that bankruptcy filings are artificially low due to a backlog in the court system and prolonged government aid. When the pandemic began, precautions for COVID-19 slowed the work of the court system. The federal government also implemented a foreclosure moratorium, provided direct payments to qualifying recipients and PPP loans to small businesses, and encouraged banks to work with borrowers who were impacted by the pandemic, all of which had a minimizing effect on bankruptcy filings. All of these measures expired by the end of 2021. Management believes bankruptcy filings will normalize and currently available data does not reflect credit risk. The allocation was based on an average of pre-pandemic filings from 2017 through 2020, which was higher than the current reported level and the level incorporated to the allowance at December 31, 2021.          Residential vacancy rates and housing inventory impact the Company’s residential construction customers and the consumer real estate market. Higher levels increase credit risk. The residential vacancy rate at June 30, 2022 was measured as of the first quarter of 2022 and improved from the data incorporated into the December 31, 2021 calculation, resulting in a lower allocation. Housing inventory data was available as of June 30, 2022. The level is slightly higher than at December 31, 2021, resulting in a higher allocation.   Asset Quality Indicators Asset quality indicators, including past due levels, nonaccrual levels and internal risk ratings, are evaluated at the class level. Loans past due and loans designated nonaccrual indicate heightened credit risk. Increases in past due and nonaccrual loans increase the required level of the allowance for loan losses and decreases in past due and nonaccrual loans reduce the required level of the allowance for loan losses. Accruing loans past due 30-89 days were 0.10% of total loans net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs at June 30, 2022, a decrease from 0.12% at December 31, 2021. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more were 0.00% of total loans, net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs at June 30, 2022, compared with 0.01% at December 31, 2021. Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs were 0.35% at June 30, 2022 and 0.36% at December 31, 2021. Loans rated special mention and classified (together, “criticized assets”) indicate heightened credit risk. Higher levels of criticized assets increase the required level of the allowance for collectively-evaluated loans, while lower levels of criticized assets reduce the required level of the allowance for collectively-evaluated loans. Collectively evaluated loans rated special mention at June 30, 2022 were $312, compared with $3,728 at December 31, 2021, due to credit quality improvement in a large relationship. Collectively evaluated loans rated classified were $1,022 at June 30, 2022 and $1,064 at December 31, 2021.   39 Table of Contents     Other Factors The Company considers other factors that impact credit risk, including the interest rate environment, the competitive, legal and regulatory environments, changes in lending policies and loan review, changes in management, and high risk loans. The interest rate environment impacts variable rate loans. When interest rates increase, the payment on variable rate loans increases, which may increase credit risk. The Federal Reserve increased the target Fed Funds rate in March, May and June 2022, resulting in an increased allocation for June 30, 2022, compared with the allocation for December 31, 2021. The competitive, legal and regulatory environments were evaluated for changes that would impact credit risk. Higher competition for loans increases credit risk, while lower competition decreases credit risk. Competition remained at similar levels to those at December 31, 2021. The legal and regulatory environments remain in a similar posture to that at December 31, 2021. Lending policies, loan review procedures and management’s experience influence credit risk. Lending policies changed to adjust appraisal requirements on residential real estate, resulting in an increased allocation. Loan review procedures remained similar to those at December 31, 2021 and no allocation was taken. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company filled the Chief Credit Officer position vacated during the last quarter of 2021, resulting in a slightly reduced allocation compared with December 31, 2021. Levels of high risk loans are considered in the determination of the level of the allowance for loan loss. A decrease in the level of high risk loans within a class decreases the required allocation for the loan class, and an increase in the level of high risk loans within a class increases the required allocation for the loan class. Total high risk loans increased $11,668 or 12.95% from the level at December 31, 2021, resulting in an increased allocation.   Unallocated Surplus The unallocated surplus at June 30, 2022 is $179 or 2.27% in excess of the calculated requirement. The unallocated surplus at December 31, 2021 was $361 or 4.94% in excess of the calculated requirement. The surplus provides some mitigation of current economic uncertainty that may impact credit risk.   Conclusion The calculation of the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses incorporates analysis of multiple factors and requires management’s prudent and informed judgment. The Company augmented the calculated requirement with an unallocated surplus. Based on analysis of historical indicators, asset quality and economic factors, management believes the level of allowance for loan losses is reasonable for the credit risk in the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2022.   Other Real Estate Owned   The following table discloses the OREO in physical possession and in process at each reporting date:   Other Real Estate Owned (1)   June 30, 2022   December 31, 2021   Real estate construction   $ 957   $ 957   Consumer real estate     -     -   Total other real estate owned   $ 957   $ 957     (1)  Net of valuation allowance.   As of June 30, 2022, loans in various stages of foreclosure totaled $224, all of which are secured by residential real estate. Loans currently in the process of foreclosure may increase OREO in future quarters. It is not possible to accurately predict the future total of OREO because property sold at foreclosure may be acquired by third parties and OREO properties are regularly marketed and sold. The Company continues to monitor risk levels within the loan portfolio. If the Company’s market experiences an economic downturn, real estate values could decline and foreclosure activity could increase. A decline in value may result in loss recognition for OREO, while an increase in foreclosures may increase the number of OREO properties.   Modifications and TDRs   Modifications In the ordinary course of business the Company modifies loan terms on a case-by-case basis for a variety of reasons. Modifications may include rate reductions, payment extensions of varying lengths of time, a change in amortization term or method or other arrangements. Please refer to the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K, Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for information on TDR designation. If the modified terms are consistent with competitive market conditions and representative of terms the borrower could otherwise obtain in the open market, the modified loan is not categorized as a TDR. Modifications to consumer loans generally involve short-term payment extensions to accommodate specific, temporary circumstances. Payment extensions provide short-term payment relief to borrowers who have demonstrated a willingness and ability to repay their loan but who are experiencing consequences of a specific unforeseen temporary hardship. If the temporary event is not expected to impact a borrower’s ability to repay the debt, and if the Company expects to collect all amounts due including interest accrued at the contractual interest rate for the extension period at contractual maturity, the modification is not designated a TDR. Modifications to commercial loans may include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rate, maturity, amortization and financial covenants. The Company codes modifications to assist in identifying TDRs.   40 Table of Contents     Modifications That Are Not TDR During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company provided 230 modifications for competitive reasons to loans totaling $34,776. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company provided 465 modifications to loans totaling $73,958. The modifications were not TDRs and were not related to COVID-19. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company provided non-TDR modifications for competitive reasons to 210 loans totaling $19,595, and during the six months ended June 30, 2021, provided modifications to 454 loans totaling $47,573 for competitive reasons. During six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company also provided 42 modifications to loans totaling $38,471 related to COVID-19 difficulty. The modifications met the criteria under the CARES Act, the CAA and regulatory guidance and were not designated as TDRs.   TDRs The Company’s TDRs, by delinquency status, are presented below:       TDR Status as of June 30, 2022               Accruing               Total TDR Loans     Current      30-89 Days Past Due      90+ Days Past Due      Nonaccrual   Consumer real estate   $ 188     $ 188     $ -     $ -     $ -   Commercial real estate     5,342       2,810       -       -       2,532   Commercial non-real estate     279       -       -       -       279   Total TDR Loans   $ 5,809     $ 2,998     $ -     $ -     $ 2,811         TDR Status as of December 31, 2021                   Accruing                   Total TDR Loans     Current      30-89 Days Past Due      90+ Days Past Due      Nonaccrual   Consumer real estate   $ 191     $ 191     $ -     $ -     $ -   Commercial real estate     5,386       2,814       -       -       2,572   Commercial non-real estate     301       -       -       -       301   Total TDR Loans   $ 5,878     $ 3,005     $ -     $ -     $ 2,873     Please refer to Note 3: Allowance for Loan Losses, Nonperforming Assets and Impaired Loans for information on TDRs.            Net Interest Income   The following table shows the major categories of interest‑earning assets and interest‑bearing liabilities, the interest earned or paid, the average yield or rate on the daily average balance outstanding, net interest income and net yield on average interest‑earning assets for the periods indicated.   41 Table of Contents         Three Months Ended       June 30, 2022     June 30, 2021       Average Balance     Interest     Average Yield/ Rate     Average Balance     Interest     Average Yield/ Rate   Interest-earning assets:                                                 Loans (1)(2)(4)(5)   $ 833,270     $ 8,403       4.04 %   $ 790,533     $ 8,544       4.34 % Taxable securities (6)(7)     676,064       2,949       1.75 %     505,784       1,910       1.51 % Nontaxable securities (1)(6)     76,061       598       3.15 %     80,329       642       3.21 % Interest-bearing deposits     90,606       202       0.89 %     143,812       39       0.11 % Total interest-earning assets   $ 1,676,001     $ 12,152       2.91 %   $ 1,520,458     $ 11,135       2.94 % Interest-bearing liabilities:                                                 Interest-bearing demand deposits   $ 912,036     $ 573       0.25 %   $ 795,934     $ 718       0.36 % Savings deposits     219,464       37       0.07 %     189,560       44       0.09 % Time deposits     83,753       37       0.18 %     89,564       72       0.32 % Total interest-bearing liabilities   $ 1,215,253     $ 647       0.21 %   $ 1,075,058     $ 834       0.31 % Net interest income and interest rate spread           $ 11,505       2.70 %           $ 10,301       2.63 % Net yield on average interest‑earning assets                     2.75 %                     2.72 %       Six Months Ended       June 30, 2022     June 30, 2021       Average Balance     Interest     Average Yield/ Rate     Average Balance     Interest     Average Yield/ Rate   Interest-earning assets:                                                 Loans (1)(3)(4)(5)   $ 818,564     $ 16,584       4.09 %   $ 780,415     $ 17,169       4.44 % Taxable securities (6)(7)     652,319       5,422       1.68 %     486,978       3,693       1.53 % Nontaxable securities (1)(6)     76,383       1,172       3.09 %     81,357       1,334       3.31 % Interest-bearing deposits     102,365       251       0.49 %     131,629       67       0.10 % Total interest-earning assets   $ 1,649,631     $ 23,429       2.86 %   $ 1,480,379     $ 22,263       3.03 % Interest-bearing liabilities:                                                 Interest-bearing demand deposits   $ 899,502     $ 1,153       0.26 %   $ 779,321     $ 1,436       0.37 % Savings deposits     216,210       75       0.07 %     182,121       91       0.10 % Time deposits     80,887       74       0.18 %     88,837       162       0.37 % Total interest-bearing liabilities   $ 1,196,599     $ 1,302       0.22 %   $ 1,050,279     $ 1,689       0.32 % Net interest income and interest rate spread           $ 22,127       2.64 %           $ 20,574       2.71 % Net yield on average interest‑earning assets                     2.70 %                     2.80 %   (1) Interest on nontaxable loans and securities is computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis using a Federal income tax rate of 21%.

(4) Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances for yield computations. (5) Includes loans held for sale. (6) Daily averages are shown at amortized cost. (7) Includes restricted stock.   42 Table of Contents     Yields on taxable securities and interest-bearing deposits increased when both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 are compared with the comparable periods of 2021, driven by Federal Reserve rate increases during 2022. Deposit costs fell when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 are compared with the comparable periods of 2021. High levels of deposits and liquidity helped to manage pricing pressure. Loan yields decreased when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 are compared with the comparable periods of 2021, primarily due to interest and fee income on PPP loans that totaled $442 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $1,093 during the six months ended June 30, 2021.  This compares with $1 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $43 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. If PPP loans and their income are excluded, loan yields for 2021 would be 4.32% for the three months ended and 4.37% for the six months ended June 30 2021.  The net interest margin would have been 2.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.  PPP fees have been fully recognized as of June 30, 2022.   Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses   The calculation of the allowance for loan losses resulted in a provision for loan losses of $310 for the three month period ended June 30, 2022, compared with $4 for the three month period ended June 30, 2021. The provision for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 was $444, compared with $54 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in provision reflects loan growth from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022 and changes in factors detailed in “Asset Quality” above.   Noninterest Income       Three Months Ended       June 30, 2022     June 30, 2021     Percent Change   Service charges on deposits   $ 603     $ 471       28.03 % Other service charges and fees     51       43       18.60 % Credit and debit card fees, net     535       479       11.69 % Trust fees     439       434       1.15 % BOLI income     241       210       14.76 % Gain on sale of mortgage loans     35       74       (52.70 )% Other income     208       230       (9.57 )% Total noninterest income   $ 2,112     $ 1,941       8.81 %       Six Months Ended       June 30, 2022     June 30, 2021     Percent Change   Service charges on deposits   $ 1,165     $ 940       23.94 % Other service charges and fees     106       84       26.19 % Credit and debit card fees, net     975       913       6.79 % Trust fees     882       849       3.89 % BOLI income     479       416       15.14 % Gain on sale of mortgage loans     96       211       (54.50 )% Other income     700       857       (18.32 )% Realized securities gain, net     -       5       (100.00 )% Total noninterest income   $ 4,403     $ 4,275       2.99 %   Service charges on deposits increased when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 are compared with the same periods ended June 30, 2021, due to increased non-sufficient funds and overdraft fee income. Other service charges and fees increased when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 are compared with the same periods ended June 30, 2021, due to higher service charges on letters of credit and safe deposit box fee income. Credit and debit card fees are presented net of interchange expense. Credit and debit card fees increased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, compared with the same periods last year, due to increased volume. Income from trust fees increased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, when compared with the same periods ended June 30, 2021. Trust income varies depending on the total assets held in trust accounts, the type of accounts under management and financial market conditions.   43 Table of Contents     BOLI income increased when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 are compared. The Company purchased an additional $5 million in BOLI investments during June, 2021. Gain on sale of mortgage loans decreased when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 are compared. The Federal Reserve interest rate increases in 2022 have cooled real estate refinance and purchase financing activity. Other income includes revenue from investment and insurance sales, adjustments to partnership basis and other miscellaneous components. These areas fluctuate with market conditions and competitive factors. Other income decreased for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 when compared with the same periods ended June 30, 2021 due to decreased commissions on securities sales and decreased dividends on a partnership investment.   Noninterest Expense       Three Months Ended       June 30, 2022     June 30, 2021     Percent Change   Salaries and employee benefits   $ 4,011     $ 3,952       1.49 % Occupancy, furniture and fixtures     464       443       4.74 % Data processing and ATM     793       786       0.89 % FDIC assessment     111       93       19.35 % Net costs of other real estate owned     -       1       (100.00 )% Franchise taxes     371       357       3.92 % Other operating expenses     561       815       (31.17 )% Total noninterest expense   $ 6,311     $ 6,447       (2.11 )%       Six Months Ended       June 30, 2022     June 30, 2021     Percent Change   Salaries and employee benefits   $ 7,989     $ 7,858       1.67 % Occupancy, furniture and fixtures     956       931       2.69 % Data processing and ATM     1,580       1,564       1.02 % FDIC assessment     222       176       26.14 % Net costs of other real estate owned     10       38       (73.68 )% Franchise taxes     733       692       5.92 % Other operating expenses     1,434       1,724       (16.82 )% Total noninterest expense   $ 12,924     $ 12,983       (0.45 )%   Salaries and employee benefits includes employee salaries, payroll taxes, insurance and fringe benefits, ESOP contribution accruals, the service component of net periodic pension cost, and salary continuation expenses. The expense increased slightly when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 are compared with the same periods ended June 30, 2021. Lower pension expense was offset by normal increases in salary expense and higher salary continuation expense. Federal Deposit Insurance (“FDIC”) assessment expense increased when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 are compared with the same periods of 2021. The FDIC assessment is accrued based on a method provided by the FDIC. The calculation is based on average assets divided by average tangible equity and incorporates risk-based factors to determine the amount of the assessment. Franchise tax expense increased when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 are compared. Franchise tax is primarily based on capital levels of the subsidiary bank, and is also affected by investment levels in securities issued by U.S. government agencies. The category of other operating expenses includes noninterest expense items such as professional services, stationery and supplies, telephone costs, postage, charitable donations, losses and other expenses. Other operating expense decreased when the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 are compared with the same periods ended June 30, 2021, due to lower non-service pension cost and cost control measures.   44 Table of Contents     Income Tax   Income tax expense was $1,192 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $940 for the same period of 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, income tax expense was $2,245 and $1,949 respectively. The Company’s federal statutory tax rate is 21%. The Company’s effective tax rate was 17.62% and 17.67% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, compared with 16.93% and 17.21% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021.   Balance Sheet   Year-to-date daily averages for the major balance sheet categories are as follows:       June 30, 2022     December 31, 2021     Percent Change   Assets                   Interest-bearing deposits   $ 102,365     $ 133,020       (23.05 )% Securities available for sale and restricted stock     697,759       612,636       13.89 % Loans, net of unearned income and deferred fees and costs and the allowance for loan losses     810,643       778,920       4.07 % Total assets     1,711,248       1,618,642       5.72 %                           Liabilities and stockholders ’ equity                         Noninterest-bearing demand deposits   $ 331,524     $ 316,976       4.59 % Interest-bearing demand deposits     899,502       811,661       10.82 % Savings deposits     216,210       190,997       13.20 % Time deposits     80,887       86,089       (6.04 )% Stockholders’ equity     167,072       192,545       (13.23 )%   The decline in interest-bearing deposits resulted as the Company invested in securities and loans to increase yields. The decline in stockholders’ equity resulted from the unrealized loss in the fair value of securities. Changes in securities, loans and deposits are discussed below.   Securities       June 30, 2022     December 31, 2021     Percent Change   Amortized cost   $ 752,966     $ 682,467       10.33 % Unrealized gain (loss)     (70,715 )     3,613       NR % Securities available for sale   $ 682,251     $ 686,080       (0.56 )%   Securities available for sale are measured at fair value as of each reporting date. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, purchases of securities resulted in an increase of $70,499 in the amortized cost of securities available for sale, while unrealized losses decreased the fair value from December 31, 2021 by $74,328. Change in the fair value of bonds is inversely related to interest rate movement. Increases during 2022 in the Federal Reserve's target interest rate, as well as expected future increases, contributed to the decline in fair value of the securities portfolio. While we do not expect significant changes in future judgements or methodologies used to determine the fair value of the securities portfolio, future rate increases or market volatility could impact the value of securities. The Company’s liquidity position is strong and the Company does not intend to sell securities in an unrealized loss position. Management regularly monitors the quality of the securities portfolio and closely follows the uncertainty in the economy and the volatility of financial markets.  The value of individual securities will be written down if the decline in fair value is considered to be other than temporary based upon the totality of circumstances.

The increase is due in large part to government stimulus funds received by municipal depositors and other depositors. Deposits do not include any brokered deposits   Liquidity   Liquidity measures the Company’s ability to meet its financial commitments at a reasonable cost. Demands on liquidity include funding additional loan demand and accepting withdrawals of existing deposits. The Company has diverse liquidity sources, including customer and purchased deposits, customer repayments of loan principal and interest, sales, calls and maturities of securities, Federal Reserve discount window borrowing, short-term borrowing, and FHLB advances. At June 30, 2022, the Bank did not have any borrowings.  To assure that short-term borrowing is readily available, the Company tests accessibility annually. The Company considers its security portfolio for typical liquidity needs, within accounting, legal and strategic parameters. Portions of the securities portfolio are pledged to meet state requirements for public funds deposits. Discount window borrowings also require pledged securities. Increased/decreased liquidity from public funds deposits or discount window borrowings results in increased/decreased liquidity from pledging requirements. The Company monitors public funds pledging requirements and unpledged available-for-sale securities accessible for liquidity needs. Regulatory capital levels at the subsidiary bank determine the Bank’s ability to use purchased deposits and the Federal Reserve discount window. At June 30, 2022, the Bank is considered well capitalized and does not have any restrictions on purchased deposits or borrowing ability at the Federal Reserve discount window. The Company monitors factors that may increase its liquidity needs. Some of these factors include deposit trends, large depositor activity, maturing deposit promotions, interest rate sensitivity, maturity and repricing timing gaps between assets and liabilities, the level of unfunded loan commitments, loan growth and share repurchase activity within the Company’s own stock. The Company’s liquidity position has benefitted over the past two years from increased customer deposits fueled by federal stimulus payments for COVID-19 pandemic relief. At June 30, 2022, the Company’s liquidity is sufficient to meet projected trends in these areas. To monitor and estimate liquidity levels, the Company performs stress testing under varying assumptions on credit sensitive liabilities and the sources and amounts of balance sheet and external liquidity available to replace outflows. The Company’s Contingency Funding Plan sets forth avenues for rectifying liquidity shortfalls. At June 30, 2022, the analysis indicated adequate liquidity under the tested scenarios. The Company utilizes several other strategies to maintain sufficient liquidity. Loan and deposit growth are managed to keep the loan to deposit ratio within the Company’s internally-set target range. At June 30, 2022, the loan to deposit ratio was 53.80%. The investment strategy takes into consideration the term of the investment, and securities in the available for sale portfolio are laddered based upon projected funding needs.   46 Table of Contents     Capital Resources   Total stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2022 was $136,240, a decrease of $55,511 or 28.95%, from the $191,751 at December 31, 2021.  Book value declined from $31.62 at December 31, 2021 to $22.78 at June 30, 2022. The decline in stockholders equity and book value is due to worsening of accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the unrealized loss in fair value of securities. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is excluded from regulatory capital calculations and does not impact regulatory capital requirements or ratios. The Company qualifies as a small bank holding company under the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement, which exempts bank holding companies with less than $3 billion in assets from reporting consolidated regulatory capital ratios and from minimum regulatory capital requirements. NBB is subject to various capital requirements administered by banking agencies, including an additional capital conservation buffer in order to make capital distributions or discretionary bonus payments. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated in compliance with OCC rules based on the Basel III Capital Rules. The Bank’s ratios are well above the required minimums. Risk based capital ratios for the Bank are shown in the following tables.       NBB     Regulatory Capital Minimum Ratios     Regulatory Capital Minimum Ratios with Capital Conservation Buffer   Common Equity Tier I Capital Ratio     17.26 %     4.50 %     7.00 % Tier I Capital Ratio     17.26 %     6.00 %     8.50 % Total Capital Ratio     18.00 %     8.00 %     10.50 % Leverage Ratio     10.92 %     4.00 %     4.00 %   Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements   In the normal course of business, NBB extends lines of credit and letters of credit to its customers. Depending on their needs, customers may draw upon lines of credit at any time in any amount up to a pre-approved limit. Standby letters of credit are issued for two purposes. Financial letters of credit guarantee payments to facilitate customer purchases. Performance letters of credit guarantee payment if the customer fails to complete a specific obligation. Historically, the full approved amount of letters and lines of credit has not been drawn at any one time. The Company has developed plans to meet a sudden and substantial funding demand. These plans include accessing a line of credit with a correspondent bank, borrowing from the FHLB, selling available for sale investments or loans and raising additional deposits. The Company sells mortgages on the secondary market. Our agreement with the purchaser provides for strict underwriting and documentation requirements. Violation of the representations and warranties of the agreement would entitle the purchaser to recourse provisions. The Company has determined that its risk in this area is not significant because of a low volume of secondary market mortgage loans and high underwriting standards. The Company estimates a potential loss reserve for recourse provisions that is not material as of June 30, 2022. To date, no recourse provisions have been invoked. If funds were needed, the Company would access the same sources as noted above for funding lines and letters of credit. There were no material changes in off-balance sheet arrangements during the three or six months ended June 30, 2022.   Contractual Obligations   The Company had no finance lease or purchase obligations and no long-term debt at June 30, 2022.   Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk   Not applicable.   47 Table of Contents     Item 4. Controls and Procedures   The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2022 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Company's management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, the Company believes that no system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected.   Part II Other Information   Item 1.   Legal Proceedings   There are no pending or threatened legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which the property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject that, in the opinion of management, may materially impact the financial condition of the Company.   Item 1A.
