6 AMERICAN NATIONAL BANKSHARES INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BASIS OF PRESENTATION In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly American National Bankshares' financial position as of June 30, 2002, its cash flows for the six months then ended, and the results of its operations for the three and six months then ended. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2002. The consolidated financial statements include the amounts and results of operations of American National Bankshares Inc. ("the Corporation") and its wholly owned subsidiary, American National Bank and Trust Company ("the Bank") and the Bank's two subsidiaries, ANB Mortgage Corp. and ANB Services Corp. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the Corporation's significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Corporation's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In accordance with the Security and Exchange Commission's proposed rule 33-8098 dated May 10, 2002, the Corporation's critical accounting policies are listed below. GENERAL The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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. 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. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES 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 estimable 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 formula allowance, the specific 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 formula allowance uses a historical loss view as an indicator of future losses along with various economic factors and, as a result, could differ from the loss incurred in the future. However, since this history is updated with the most recent loss information, the errors that might otherwise occur are mitigated. The specific allowance uses various techniques to arrive at an estimate of loss for specifically identified loans. Historical loss information, expected cash flows and fair market value of collateral are used to estimate these losses. 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. The use of these values is inherently subjective and our actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates. 7 CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLES In July, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two statements - Statement 141, Business Combinations, and Statement 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which impacted the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets. Statement 141 eliminated the pooling method of accounting for business combinations and required that intangible assets that meet certain criteria be reported separately from goodwill. Statement 142 eliminated the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles that are determined to have an indefinite life. The Statement requires, at a minimum, annual impairment tests for goodwill and other intangible assets that are determined to have an indefinite life. SFAS 142 allows certain intangibles arising from Bank and Thrift acquisitions to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Upon adoption of these Statements, the Company re-evaluated its intangible assets that arose from branch acquisitions prior to July 1, 2001. The intangible assets arising from the premium paid for deposits acquired at the Gretna office in 1995 and the Yanceyville office in 1996 are classified as core deposit intangibles and continue to be amortized over their estimated lives in accordance with Statement 72. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This report contains forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Corporation and Bank. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of management of the Corporation and Bank and on information available at the time these statements and disclosures were prepared. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expected include the following: o General economic conditions may deteriorate and negatively impact the ability of borrowers to repay loans and depositors to maintain balances. o Changes in interest rates could reduce net interest income. o Competitive pressures among financial institutions may increase. o The businesses that the Corporation and Bank are engaged in may be adversely affected by legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards. o New products developed or new methods of delivering products could result in a reduction in business and income for the Corporation and Bank. o Adverse changes may occur in the securities market. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS No accounting pronouncements that have a material effect on the Corporation were issued during the quarter ending June 30, 2002. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The following is a detail of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001:

8 SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION Reportable segments include community banking and trust and investment services. Community banking involves making loans to and generating deposits from individuals and businesses in the markets where the Bank has offices. All assets and liabilities of the Bank are allocated to community banking. Investment income from fixed income investments is a major source of income in addition to loan interest income. Service charges from deposit accounts and non-deposit fees such as automatic teller machine fees and insurance commissions generate additional income for community banking. Trust and investment services includes estate and trust planning and administration and investment management for various entities. The trust and investment services division of the Bank manages trusts, estates and purchases equity, fixed income and mutual fund investments for customer accounts. The trust and investment services division receives fees for investment and administrative services. Fees are also received by this division for individual retirement accounts managed for the community banking segment. Segment information for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 is shown in the following table (in thousands). The "Other" column includes corporate related items, results of insignificant operations and, as it relates to segment profit (loss), income and expense not allocated to reportable segments. 9 Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10 AMERICAN NATIONAL BANKSHARES INC. AND SUBSIDIARY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The purpose of this discussion is to focus on important factors affecting the Corporation's financial condition and results of operations. The discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, and supplemental financial data. The second quarter is a period beginning April 1 and ending June 30 and the first quarter is a period beginning on January 1 and ending on March 31. The first six months are defined as the period beginning on January 1 and ending on June 30. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INCOME The Corporation's net income for the first six months of 2002 was $4,534,000, a decrease of 4.9% over the $4,768,000 earned during the same period of 2001. On a basic and diluted per share basis, net earnings totaled $0.78 for the first six months of 2002, which was 1.3% lower than the $0.79 earned for the same period of 2001. While earnings declined on a year-to-year basis, the number of shares also declined due to stock repurchases under the Corporation's outstanding stock repurchase programs. On an annualized basis, return on average total assets was 1.60% for the first six months of 2002 compared to 1.74% for the same period in 2001. Return on average common shareholders' equity was 13.74% and 14.79% for the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. Net interest income after provision for loan losses declined $53,000, or 0.5%, for the first six months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 due to a decline in the interest margin and spread which was offset partially by a lower provision for loan losses. For the same comparative period, non-interest income excluding securities gains increased by $160,000, led by growth in service charges and other fee and commission income. Including non-recurring securities gains, non-interest income decreased $171,000. Non-interest expense increased by $169,000 for the first six months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 due to increases in overall employee benefits, corporate insurance costs and the occupancy cost associated with a new banking office opened in Henry County in March of 2002. The Corporation's net income for the second quarter of 2002 was $2,335,000, a decrease of 4.7% over the $2,450,000 earned during the same period of 2001. While earnings declined on a year-to-year basis, the number of shares also declined due to stock repurchases under the Corporation's outstanding stock repurchase programs. On a basic and diluted per share basis, net earnings totaled $0.40 for the second quarter of 2002, which was 2.4% lower than the $0.41 earned for the same period of 2001. On an annualized basis, return on average total assets was 1.64% for the second quarter of 2002 compared to 1.77% for the same period in 2001. Return on average common shareholders' equity was 14.16% and 15.03% for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Corporation's decline in earnings was primarily the result of non-recurring security gains recognized in 2001 that were not recognized in 2002 and increased pressure on the interest spread. When market interest rates began declining in January of 2001 many U.S. Government agency securities the Corporation had purchased in previous periods at a discount were called by the issuing agency. This produced $170,000 of income in the first quarter of 2001 and $180,000 of income in the second quarter of 2001 for a total pre-tax gain on securities of $350,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. In contrast, the rate environment during the first six months of 2002 was more constant with $19,000 in securities gains recognized. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis was $11,521,000 for the first six month period ending June 30, 2002 compared to $11,695,000 for the same period of 2001, a decrease of 1.5%. The interest rate spread increased to 3.70% from 3.69%, and the net yield on earning assets decreased to 11 4.25% from 4.47% in the first six months of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001, respectively. The net yield on earning assets decreased due to a change in the mix of assets and the greater asset growth in the area of adjustable-rate commercial loans and deposits in other banks. While the net yield on earning assets declined for the first six months of 2002 when compared to the previous year, the interest rate spread improved slightly. Average interest-earning assets increased 3.7%, or $19,202,000 while average interest-bearing liabilities grew 3.1%, or $13,140,000 during the first six months of 2002. At the same time non-earning assets declined by 7.2% and non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 6.8%. These positive developments, coupled with the repricing of fixed term certificates of deposits to lower levels, produced the slightly improved interest rate spread. Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis was $5,897,000 for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $5,865,000 for the same period of 2001, an increase of 0.5%. The interest rate spread increased to 3.80% from 3.70%, and the net yield on earning assets decreased to 4.33% from 4.46% in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001, respectively. The net yield on earning assets decreased due to a change in the mix of assets and the greater asset growth in the area of adjustable-rate commercial loans and deposits in other banks. When compared to the first quarter of 2002, the interest rate spread and net yield on earning assets in the second quarter of 2002 increased with a positive trend noted. The interest rate spread improved from 3.61% in the first quarter of 2002 to 3.80% during the second quarter of 2002. The net yield on earning assets improved from 4.17% in the first quarter of 2002 to 4.33% during the second quarter of 2002. This improvement was due to several factors including faster growth in earning assets, a higher level of time deposits repricing to lower market interest rates, growth in non-interest bearing demand deposits and management's overall focus on managing the margin during the historic rate period experienced in 2002. During the first six months of 2002, the Federal Reserve held interest rates at year-end 2001 levels. These historically low rates kept the prime lending rate at 4.75% during the six months ending June 30, 2002, which was much lower than the 9.5% to 6.5% range of the prime lending rate during the same period of 2001. While the Corporation's balance sheet is liability-sensitive, many liabilities remain near competitive market-driven pricing floors while assets continue to reprice or be booked at lower asset yields. The following tables demonstrate fluctuations in net interest income and the related yields for the first six months of 2002 and for the second quarter of 2002 ending June 30, 2002, compared to similar prior year periods. 12 The following is an analysis of net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis. Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances. Interest income on nonaccrual loans if recognized is recorded on a cash basis. (In thousands, except rates):

14 PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is to provide for losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Bank's Loan Committee has responsibility for determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, subject to the review of the Board of Directors. Among other factors, the Committee on a quarterly basis considers the Corporation's historical loss experience, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, the value and adequacy of collateral and guarantors, non-performing credits including impaired loans, the Bank's loan "Watch" list, and national and local economic conditions. The provision for loan losses was $419,000 for the first six months of 2002 versus $535,000 for the same period in 2001. Net charged off loans were $276,000 for the first six months of 2002 versus $130,000 for the same period in 2001. The ratio of net charge-offs to average outstanding loans was .14% in 2002 and .09% in 2001. Management considers these charge-off ratios lower than those of their peer banks, who generally consider charge-off levels of .10% to .40% to be within reasonable norms from a historical perspective. For the second quarter ending June 30, 2002, net charge-offs were $182,000 compared to $59,000 for the same period one year prior. One commercial loan charge-off represented 34% of net charge-offs for the first six months of 2002 and represented 52% of net-charge-offs for the second quarter ending June 30, 2002. The reserve for loan losses totaled $5,477,000 at June 30, 2002, an increase of 2.7% over the $5,334,000 recorded at December 31, 2001. The ratio of reserves to loans, less unearned discount, was 1.40% at June 30, 2002 versus 1.42% at December 31, 2001. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb any inherent losses on existing loans in the Corporation's loan portfolio at June 30, 2002. NON-INTEREST INCOME Non-interest income for the first six months of 2002 was $2,840,000, a decrease of 5.7% from $3,011,000 reported in the same period of 2001. The comparative decline was due to a high volume of non-recurring gains on the pre-maturity call of investment securities booked in 2001. During the Federal Reserve's rate declines beginning in January of 2001, a large volume of callable government agency securities purchased at a discount were called resulting in security gains. These calls and related gains did not reoccur during the first six months of 2002. Excluding non-recurring securities gains, non-interest income increased by $160,000 during the first six months of 2002 when compared to the same period one year prior due to increased deposit account service charges and other fee and commission income. Service charges on deposit accounts grew 18% or $120,000 in the first six months of 2002 when compared to the same period in 2001. Trust and investment services income of $1,332,000 during the first six months of 2002 was up slightly compared to the same period in 2001. Because a majority of trust account fees are calculated based on the market value of the assets under management, the performance of the equity and bond markets continues to affect trust financial performance. The Bank's trust department managed accounts whose market values approximated $310,000,000 at June 30, 2002 compared to $332,000,000 at March 31, 2002 and $353,000,000 at June 30, 2001. The growth in new trust business and increased management fees slightly offset the continued low valuations in the financial markets, which negatively impacted asset values under management. Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2002 was $1,445,000, a decrease of 7.8% from $1,568,000 reported in the same period of 2001. The reasons for decreased non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were similar to those for the six month period ended June 30, 2002. Excluding non-recurring securities gains, non-interest income increased $57,000 due to increased deposit account service charges and other fee and commission income. Service charges on deposit accounts grew 14% or $51,000 in the second quarter of 2002 when compared to the same period in 2001. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense for the first six months of 2002 was $7,077,000, a 2.4% increase from the $6,908,000 reported for the same period last year. Salaries decreased 1.3% from the same period last 15 year to $3,214,000 in 2002 while pension and other employee benefits increased 6.9% to $771,000. Occupancy and equipment increased $79,000, or 6.9%, for the first six months of 2002 from the same period in 2001. These increases were primarily the result of the Southern Henry County office that opened in March 2002, increased depreciation expense associated with recent technology initiatives, and increases in insurance expense which were partially offset by lower incentive compensation expense. Core deposit intangible amortization of $225,000 for the first six months of 2002 and 2001 represents the amortization of the premium paid for deposits acquired at the Gretna office in 1995 and Yanceyville office in 1996. The efficiency ratio, a productivity measure used to determine how well non-interest expense is managed, was 49.31% and 48.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. A lower efficiency ratio generally indicates better expense efficiency. Leaders in expense efficiency in the banking industry have achieved ratios in the mid-to-high 40% range while the majority of the industry remains in the 55-65% range. Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2002 was $3,579,000, a 3.7% increase from $3,450,000 reported for the same period of 2001. The reasons for increased non-interest expense for the second quarter ended June 30, 2002 were primarily the result of the Southern Henry County office that opened in March 2002, increased depreciation expense associated with recent technology initiatives, and an increase in salaries, pension and employee benefits, and insurance expense. INCOME TAX PROVISION The income tax provision for the first six months of 2002 was $1,848,000, a decrease of $159,000 from $2,007,000 reported a year earlier. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2002 was 29.0% compared to 29.6% for the same period of 2001. FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES GENERAL Total assets declined 0.3% to $571,365,000 at June 30, 2002 when compared to assets of $572,887,000 at December 31, 2001. While total assets have not grown, a shift in the asset mix occurred during the first six months of 2002. Total loans increased $16,115,000 or 4.3% during the first six months of 2002. During the same period the corporation reduced investment securities by $3,616,000 or 2.3% and reduced interest bearing deposits in other banks by $13,965,000 or 97%. This shift in assets to higher yielding investments contributed to the corporation's improved interest rate margin and yield on earning assets in the second quarter of 2002. Similar to total asset growth, total liabilities declined slightly by 0.8% to $503,228,000 at June 30, 2002 when compared to $507,490,000 at December 31, 2001. Total deposits declined $6,530,000 or 1.4% during the first six months of 2002 and other borrowings including FHLB advances and repurchase agreements increased $2,688,000 or 6.7% during the same period. Repurchase agreements are used by commercial accounts to earn higher yields on short-term funds and mature daily. While total deposits declined, a shift to lower cost deposits was seen as growth of $4,207,000 or 7.2% was noted in non-interest bearing demand deposits and growth of $4,564,000 or 7.0% was noted in savings accounts. The primary decline in deposits occurred in the higher cost time deposit and money market account categories. ASSET QUALITY Non-performing loans include loans on which interest is no longer accrued, accruing loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal and interest payments, and loans classified as troubled debt restructurings. Loans in a non-accrual status at June 30, 2002 were $479,000 compared with $568,000 at December 31, 2001, and $410,000 on June 30, 2001. Loans on accrual status and past due 90 days or more at June 30, 2002 were $305,000 compared with $258,000 at December 31, 2001, and $330,000 on June 30, 2001. There were no loans classified as troubled debt restructurings on June 30, 2002, December 31, 2001 or June 30, 2001. 16 Total non-performing loans as a percentage of net loans were 0.20% at June 30, 2002, 0.22% at December 31, 2001, and 0.20% at June 30, 2001. Total non-performing loans are considered low by industry standards. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2002, annualized, as a percentage of average loans increased to .14% in 2002 from .09% for the same period of 2001. These charge-off ratios are low by industry standards as management considers charge-off levels of .10% to .40% to be within reasonable norms from a historical perspective. Properties received due to loan foreclosures were $177,000 at June 30, 2002, $117,000 at December 31, 2001, and $115,000 at June 30, 2001. The gross amount of interest income that would have been recorded on non-accrual loans and restructured loans as of June 30, 2002, if all such loans had been accruing interest at the original contractual rate, was $28,000 for the six month period ending June 30, 2002. No interest payments were recorded as interest income during the reporting period for all such non-performing loans. LIQUIDITY The Corporation's net liquid assets, which includes cash and due from banks, unpledged government securities, unpledged other securities with remaining maturities of less than two years, less the Bank's reserve requirement, to net liabilities ratio was 15.0% at June 30, 2002 and 20.0% at December 31, 2001. The planned reduction in this ratio reflects a shift from lower yielding investments and interest-bearing deposits in other banks to higher yielding loans. Both of these ratios are considered to reflect adequate liquidity for the respective periods. The Bank has a line of credit equal to 15% of assets with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) that equaled approximately $85,632,000 at June 30, 2002. Should the Bank ever desire to increase their line of credit beyond the current 15% limit, the FHLB would allow borrowings of up to 40% of total assets once the bank meets specific eligibility requirements. Borrowings outstanding under the FHLB line of credit were $15,050,000 at June 30, 2002 and $13,000,000 at December 31, 2001. The Bank has three term borrowing contracts outstanding with $3,000,000 maturing in June of 2008, $5,000,000 maturing in August of 2008, and $5,000,000 maturing in April of 2009. The FHLB has the ability to terminate the borrowings after each contract reaches an early conversion option date. The additional borrowings from the FHLB of $2,050,000 were borrowed on a daily basis. The Bank also has federal funds lines of credit facilities established with two other banks in the amounts of $12,000,000 and $5,000,000, as well as has access to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's discount window should a liquidity crisis occur. The Bank has not used these facilities in the past year and considers these as backup sources of funds. Management also takes into account any liquidity needs generated by off-balance sheet transactions such as commitments to extend credit, commitments to purchase securities and standby letters of credit. Management monitors and plans the Corporation's liquidity position for future periods. Liquidity is provided from cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, repayments from loans, increases in deposits, lines of credit from two correspondent banks and two federal agency banks and a planned structured continuous maturity of investments. Management believes that these factors provide sufficient and timely liquidity for the foreseeable future. OFF-BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS The Corporation enters into certain financial transactions in the ordinary course of performing traditional banking services that result in off-balance sheet transactions. The off-balance sheet transactions recognized as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were commitments to extent credit and standby letters of credit only. The Corporation does not have any off-balance sheet subsidiaries or special purpose entities. Commitments to extend credit, which amount to $127,044,000 at June 30, 2002 and $121,062,000 at December 31, 2001, represent legally binding agreements to lend to customers with fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being funded, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements. There were no commitments to purchase securities when issued June 30, 2002 or at December 31, 2001. 17 Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank guaranteeing the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Bank had $1,538,000 and $1,000,000 respectively, in outstanding standby letters of credit. CAPITAL RESOURCES The following table displays the changes in shareholders' equity from December 31, 2001, to June 30, 2002: Equity, December 31, 2001 $65,397,000 Net earnings 4,534,000 Exercise of stock options 9,000 Repurchase of common stock (397,000) Cash dividends paid (2,034,000) Net change in net unrealized losses on AFS securities 628,000 ------------ Equity, June 30, 2002 $68,137,000 ============ During the second quarter of 2002, the Corporation declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend of $.18 per share. The dividend totaled $1,044,000 and represented a 44.7% payout of second quarter 2002 net income. During the first quarter of 2002, the Corporation declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend of $.17 per share. The dividend totaled $990,000 and represented a 45.0% payout of first quarter 2002 net income. For the six months ending June 30, 2002, the Corporation paid out $2,034,000 in cash dividends which represented 44.9% of net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The Corporation's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 300,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock between August 16, 2000 and August 15, 2001, and 250,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock between August 29,2001 and August 28, 2002. The repurchases, which may be made through open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions, were 6,600 shares during the first quarter of 2002 and 13,500 shares during the second quarter of 2002 and total 314,466 shares since purchases began on August 16, 2000. Federal regulatory risk-based capital ratio guidelines require percentages to be applied to various assets including off-balance-sheet assets in relation to their perceived risk. Tier I capital includes shareholders' equity and Tier II capital includes certain components of nonpermanent preferred stock and subordinated debt. The Corporation had no preferred stock or subordinated debt outstanding. Banks and bank holding companies must have a Tier I capital ratio of at least 4% and a total ratio, including Tier I and Tier II capital, of at least 8%. As of June 30, 2002 the Corporation had a ratio of 14.42% for Tier I and a ratio of 15.65% for total capital. At December 31, 2001 these ratios were 14.32% and 15.56%, respectively. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The effective management of market risk is essential to achieving the Corporation's objectives. Market risk reflects the risk of economic loss resulting from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. This risk of loss can be reflected in diminished current market values and/or reduced potential net interest income in future periods. The Corporation is not subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk. As a financial institution, interest rate risk and its impact on net interest income is the primary market risk exposure. The Asset/Liability Investment Committee ("ALCO") is primarily responsible for establishing asset and liability strategies and for monitoring and controlling liquidity and interest rate risk. ALCO uses computer simulation analysis to measure the sensitivity of earnings and market value of equity to changes in interest rates. The projected changes in net interest income and market value of portfolio equity ("MVE") to changes in interest rates are calculated and monitored by ALCO as indicators 18 of interest rate risk. The projected changes in net interest income and MVE to changes in interest rates at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were within compliance of established policy guidelines. These projected changes are based on numerous assumptions of growth and changes in the mix of assets or liabilities. Net interest income for the next twelve months is projected to increase when interest rates are higher than current rates and decrease when interest rates are lower than current rates. 19 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item: 1. Legal Proceedings The nature of the business of the Corporation's banking subsidiary ordinarily results in a certain amount of litigation. The subsidiary of the Corporation is involved in various legal proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. Management believes that the liabilities arising from these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Corporation. 2.
