ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



Forward-Looking Statements



This management's discussion and analysis and other portions of this report, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements of goals, intentions, and expectations as to future trends, plans, events or results of Company operations and policies and regarding general economic conditions. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by use of words such as "may," "will," "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "plans," "estimates," "potential," "continue," "should," and similar words or phrases. These statements are based upon current and anticipated economic conditions, nationally and in the Company's market, interest rates and interest rate policy, competitive factors, and other conditions which by their nature, are not susceptible to accurate forecast, and are subject to significant uncertainty. Because of these uncertainties and the assumptions on which this discussion and the forward-looking statements are based, actual future operations and results in the future may differ materially from those indicated herein. Readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. The Company does undertake to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or events that may not have been anticipated as of the date of such statements.



General



The following presents management's discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of First National Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of the dates and for the periods indicated. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto, and other financial data appearing elsewhere in this report. The Company is the parent bank holding company for First Bank (the "Bank"), a Virginia state chartered bank that offers a full range of banking services through nine branch offices, principally to individuals and small to medium-size businesses in the Northern Shenandoah Valley area, including the counties of Shenandoah, Frederick and Warren.



Critical Accounting Policies

The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.


The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimatable and (ii) SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.



Our allowance for loan losses has three basic components: the specific allowance, the formula allowance and the unallocated allowance. Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur. The specific allowance is used to individually allocate an allowance for loans identified for impairment testing. Impairment testing includes consideration of the borrower's overall financial condition, resources and payment record, support available from financial guarantors and the fair market value of collateral. These factors are combined to estimate the probability and severity of inherent losses. When impairment is identified, then a specific reserve is established based on the Company's calculation of the loss embedded in the individual loan. Large groups of smaller balance, homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment. The formula allowance is used for estimating the loss on internally risk rated loans exclusive of those identified for impairment testing. The loans meeting the criteria for special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss, as well as, impaired loans are segregated from performing loans within the portfolio. Each loan type is assigned an allowance factor based on management's estimate of the associated risk, complexity and size of the individual loans within the particular loan category. Classified loans are assigned a higher allowance factor than non-rated loans due to management's concerns regarding collectibility or management's knowledge of particular elements surrounding the borrower. Allowance factors grow with the worsening of the internal risk rating. The unallocated formula is used to estimate the loss of non-classified loans. These non-classified loans are segregated by loan type and allowance factors are assigned by management based primarily on loss history and economic conditions. The factors assigned differ by loan type. The unallocated allowance captures losses whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized in either the formula or specific allowance.



Results of Operations



Total assets increased $39.9 million, or 16.0%, from $249.4 million at December 31, 2001 to $289.3 million at September 30, 2002 as total deposits grew $39.5 million, or 20.0%, from $197.5 million to $237.0 million. The deposit growth funded an increase in total loans of $23.2 million or 12.4% as well as $15.8 million in additional securities. Federal funds sold declined $3.7 million and other long-term debt decreased $2.1 million from $28.7 million to $26.6 million as of September 30, 2002.



The most deposit growth occurred in savings and interest-bearing demand deposits, which increased $25.8 million or 32.0%, from $80.4 million at December 31, 2001 to $106.2 million at September 30, 2002. Other deposit categories also increased, with non-interest bearing demand deposits increasing $8.0 million, or 29.7%, from $26.9 million to $34.9 million. Time deposits rose $5.8 million or 6.4% over the prior period.



Growth for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was similar to what the Company experienced for the nine month period with total assets rising $16.7 million, or 6.1%, from $272.6 million at June 30, 2002 to $289.3 million at September 30, 2002. Investment securities, AFS, increased $7.5 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2002. Total deposits increased $16.0 million, from $221.0 million to $237.0 million. Net loans increased $14.8 million or 7.6% from June 30, 2002 to September 30, 2002.



For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 net income of $2.1 million reflected an increase of 6.9% compared to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as net interest income increased $411 thousand, or 6.3% non-interest income rose $422 thousand, or 37.7%, and non-interest expense was up $632 thousand, or 14.1%. Provisions for loan losses for the nine month period remained the same as the prior year at $285 thousand. Earnings per share of $2.63 were up $0.17, or 6.9% from $2.46 for the comparable period in 2001. The Company's annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.05% and 12.26% for the current nine month period compared to 1.12% and 12.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.



For the three months ended September 30, 2002 net income of $701 thousand increased $5 thousand compared to $696 thousand for the same period in 2001 as net interest income rose $142 thousand, non-interest income increased by $129 thousand and non-interest expenses were up $268 thousand. Provision for loan losses totaled $105 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Earnings per share increased $0.01 from $0.88 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $0.89 for the three month period ended September 30, 2002.



Stockholders' equity increased $2.1 million from $21.6 million at December 31, 2001 to $23.7 million at September 30, 2002 on earnings of $2.1 million, an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $783 thousand, while paying cash dividends of $806 thousand.



Net Interest Income



Net interest income increased $411 thousand, or 6.3%, from $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $6.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002. Although total average earning assets outstanding grew from $221.9 million during the first nine months of 2001 to $250.7 million for the current nine month period, a decrease in the net interest spread from 3.24% to 3.15% was a contributing factor as the net interest margin on earning assets declined from 3.98% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 3.74% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002. As earning assets repriced faster than interest-bearing liabilities during a declining interest rate environment, the Company's yield on earning assets dropped 113 basis points from 7.96% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 6.83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, while the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased 104 basis points from 4.72% to 3.68%, as a result the net interest spread fell 9 basis points. The following table shows the average balance sheet, interest rate spread and net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

Allowance for Loan Losses / Provision for Loan Loss Expense



The provision for loan losses is based upon management's estimate of the amount required to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses reflective of the risks in the loan portfolio. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 charge-offs totaled $175 thousand compared to $149 thousand for the same period ended September 30, 2001. The provision for loan loss expense in the first nine months of 2002 and 2001 was $285 thousand, and was $105 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. The total allowance for loan losses of $2.1 million at September 30, 2002 increased 7.1% from $2.0 million at December 31, 2001, and increased 13.1%, from $1.9 million at September 30, 2001. The increases in the total allowance for loan losses are reflective of charge-off activity, identified problem loans and the growth in loans as net loans outstanding increased $23.1 million, or 12.4%, from $185.7 million at December 31, 2001 to $208.8 million at September 30, 2002 and increased $43.7 million, or 26.5%, from $165.1 million at September 30, 2001. Identified problem loans increased from $3.0 million at September 30, 2001 to $3.3 million as of September 30, 2002.



Management feels that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. There can be no assurance, however, that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in the future, including as a result of changes in the economic assumptions underlying management's estimates and judgments, adverse developments in the economy, on a national basis or in the Company's market area, or changes in the circumstances of particular borrowers.

The Company generates a monthly analysis of the allowance for loan losses, with the objective of quantifying portfolio risk into a dollar figure of inherent losses. In addition, internal loan reviews are performed on a regular basis. The determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on applying qualitative and quantitative factors to each category of loans along with any specific allowance for impaired and adversely classified loans within the particular category. The resulting sum is then combined to arrive at a total allowance for all categories. The Company assigns acceptable ranges of allowance factors to each loan category for consideration of the qualitative factors. The total allowance required changes as the various types and categories of loans change as a percentage of total loans and as specific allowances are required due to an increase in impaired and adversely classified loans.



The following schedule summarizes the changes in the allowance for loan losses:

Risk Elements and Non-performing Assets



Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, impaired loans, restructured loans, and other real estate owned (foreclosed properties). The total non-performing assets and loans that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest decreased 10.2% from $1,069 thousand at December 31, 2001 to $960 thousand at September 30, 2002, and increased $315 thousand, or 48.8%, from $645 thousand at September 30, 2001.



Loans are placed in non-accrual status when in the opinion of management the collection of additional interest is unlikely or a specific loan meets the criteria for non-accrual status established by regulatory authorities. No interest is taken into income on non-accrual loans. A loan remains on non-accrual status until the loan is current as to both principal and interest or the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay and remain current, or both.



The ratio of non-performing assets and loans past due 90 days and still accruing to total assets decreased from 0.43% at December 31, 2001 to 0.32% at September 30, 2002, and increased from 0.27% at September 30, 2001. This ratio is expected to remain at its low level relative to the Company's peers; however it may increase from its current level. This expectation is based on identified problem loans on September 30, 2002. As of September 30, 2002, there were $3.3 million of loans for which management has identified risk factors which could impair repayment in accordance with their terms, compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2001. These loans are mostly for commercial business purposes, are currently performing and generally are well-secured.



Non-performing assets consist of the following:

Non-accrual loans $ 81 $ 145 $ 94

Non-Interest Income



Non-interest income increased $422 thousand, or 37.7%, from $1,120 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $1,542 thousand for the same period ended September 30, 2002. Service charges and other fees grew $109 thousand, or 16.3%, from $667 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $776 thousand for the current nine month period due to overall growth in deposit accounts. For the three months ended September 30, 2002 non-interest income increased $129 thousand, or 33.9% with an increase of $67 thousand in service charges.



Non-Interest Expense



For the three months ended September 30, 2002, non-interest expense increased $268 thousand, or 17.7%, compared to the same period in 2001 and increased $632 thousand, or 14.1%, from $4,479 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $5,111 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.



Salaries and employee benefits have increased $150 thousand and $230 thousand for three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, respectively, primarily as a result of additional employees. Other operating expense increases of $56 thousand and $230 thousand for the three months and nine months ended September 30 were up 12.1% and 17.2% due mostly to higher advertising and stationery and supply costs as a direct result from the increased number of deposit accounts. As a percentage of total revenue sources (net interest and non-interest income) non-interest expense increased from 57.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to 61.3% for the same period in 2002, and increased from 58.9% during the first nine months of 2001 to 60.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.



Provision for Income Taxes



The Company's income tax provisions are adjusted for non-deductible expenses and non-taxable interest after applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34%. Provision for income taxes totaled $957 thousand and $890 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Capital



The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, and changing competitive conditions and economic forces. The adequacy of the Company's capital is reviewed by management on an ongoing basis. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses.



The capital position of the Bank continues to meet regulatory requirements. The primary indicators relied on by bank regulators in measuring the capital position are the Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and leverage ratios. Tier 1 capital consists of common stockholders' equity less goodwill. Total risk-based capital consists of Tier 1 capital and the allowance for loan losses. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated with reference to risk-weighted assets. The leverage ratio compares Tier 1 capital to total average assets for the most recent quarter end. The Bank's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.43% at September 30, 2002, compared to 10.17% at December 31, 2001. The total risk-based capital ratio was 11.42% at September 30, 2002, compared to 11.13% at December 31, 2001. The Bank's leverage ratio was 7.88% at September 30, 2002 compared to 8.45% at December 31, 2001. Based on these ratios, the Bank is considered "well capitalized" under regulatory prompt corrective action guidelines. The Company's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, total risk-based capital ratio, and leverage ratio was 10.49%, 11.49% and 7.95%, respectively, at September 30, 2002.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 145, Recission of FASB No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. This Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. This Statement also rescinds FASB Statement No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The provisions of this Statement related to the rescission of Statement 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions of this Statement related to Statement 13 are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged.



In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The standard requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31 2002, with early application encouraged.



The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9 in October 2002. FASB Statement No. 72, Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions, and FASB Interpretation No. 9, Applying APB Opinions No. 16 and 17 When a Savings and Loan Association or a Similar Institution Is Acquired in a Business Combination Accounted for by the Purchase Method, provided interpretive guidance on the application of the purchase method to acquisitions of financial institutions. Except for transactions between two or more mutual enterprises, this Statement removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of both Statement 72 and Interpretation 9 and requires that those transactions be accounted for in accordance with FASB Statements No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Thus, the requirement in paragraph 5 of Statement 72 to recognize (and subsequently amortize) any excess of the fair value of liabilities assumed over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired as an unidentifiable intangible asset no longer applies to acquisitions with the scope of this Statement. In addition, this Statement amends FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, to include in its scope long-term customer-relationship intangible assets of financial institutions such as depositor- and borrower-relationship assets and credit cardholder intangible assets. Consequently, those intangible assets are subject to the same undiscounted cash flow recoverability test and impairment loss recognition and measurement provisions that Statement 144 requires for other long-lived assets that are held and used.



Paragraph 5 of this Statement, which relates to the application of the purchase method of accounting, is effective for acquisitions for which the date of acquisition is on or after October 1, 2002. The provisions in paragraph 6 related to accounting for the impairment or disposal of certain long-term customer-relationship intangible assets are effective on October 1, 2002. Transition provisions for previously recognized unidentifiable intangible assets in paragraphs 8-14 are effective on October 1, 2002, with earlier application permitted.



This Statement clarifies that a branch acquisition that meets the definition of a business should be accounted for as a business combination, otherwise the transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition of net assets that does not result in the recognition of goodwill.



The transition provisions state that if the transaction that gave rise to the unidentifiable intangible asset was a business combination, the carrying amount of that asset shall be reclassified to goodwill as of the later of the date of acquisition or the date Statement 142 was first applied (fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001). Any previously issued interim statements that reflect amortization of the unidentifiable intangible asset subsequent to the Statement 142 application date shall be restated to remove that amortization expense. The carrying amounts of any recognized intangible assets that meet the recognition criteria of Statement 141 that have been included in the amount reported as an unidentifiable intangible asset and for which separate accounting records have been maintained shall be reclassified and accounted for as assets apart from the unidentifiable intangible asset and shall not be reclassified to goodwill.



The Company has determined that there has been no impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of the recent accounting pronouncements.
